Third Person POV:

October 2025

Atlantic City, New Jersey

Palmer: Jeez, Mr. Sol. I can't tell the diference.

The mobster said while looking at some of the counterfeit bills that Chuckie Sol had brought to the meeting

Chuck: You'd need one of them neutron microscopes, Palmer. I want it laundered at the casino at half mil a week. Anybody got a problem with that?

Just as Sol says that, Batman comes crashing through the window interrupting the meeting

Mobster: The Bat!

Chuckie: Get him!

They pull their guns on him, but Batman throws a batarang at them and disarms the mobsters

Chuckie Sol runs away, taking advantage of the fact that Batman is fighting his men

In the building's garage, Sol runs towards his car when he hears a deep voice

????: Chuckie Sol.

Chuckie: W-what? B-Batman? How are you here so fast?

The figure comes out of a cloud of smoke 

????: Your Angel of Death awaits.

Sol gets in his car and drives away

The hooded figure jumps on the hood of the car and breaks its windshield before disppearing in a cloud of smoke

Chuck: What the-

Sol's car crashes through a barrier and flies into another building, killing him in the process

Down at the streets, people look at the scene of Chuck's car and Batman watching it from the building opposite from the crash

Civillian: Look! It's Batman.

The next morning, City Hall

A councilman by the name of Arthur Reeves, who is against vigilantism is giving a press conference in City Hall

Reeves: I'm telling you, it's vigilantism at its deadliest! How many times are we gonna let Batman cross the line?

(Jeremy Strong as Arthur Reeves)

Gordon, who was there with Bullock and Captain Stacy, intervenes

Gordon: I'm sorry councilman, but you can't blame Batman for what happened to Chucky Sol.

Reeves: Why not? He's a loose canon, commissioner. A lot of people think Batman is as unstable as the criminals he brings in. What kind of city are we running when we depend on the support of masked mad men runing around in Halloween costumes?

Meanwhile, in the Batcave

Dick is practicing his gymnast skills while Kate was practicing her arrowing skills in the shooting range

Alfred turns off the TV where he was watching the press conference

Alfred: Such rot, sir. You're the very model of sanity.

He sees Y/N analysing a piece of glass

Alfred: Mind telling me what this is?

Y/N: A piece of windshield from Chuckie Sol's car. There's a chemical residue on it...some kind of dense, long-chain macromolecular polymer. Adaptogenic, of course.

Alfred: Of course...I'm gonna take Lucky for a walk.

Alfred leaves the Batcave while Kate finishes her training and goes to Y/N near the computer

Kate: Who killed Sol?

Y/N: I don't know...I saw a caped figure last night. Disappeared into a cloud of smoke before I could chase it.

Kate: Meaning you should step up your game. People are starting to copy you

Kate laughs, making Y/N roll his eyes

He gets up from the chair and inspects his Batsuit

Y/N: People are starting to blame me for Sol's death, Kate. 

Kate: Don't worry, once you catch the one responsible, they'll change. 

She kisses his cheek before heading to the elevator

Kate: I'll take a bath and go to work. Dick has school too, you know?

Y/N: I know, I know.

Kate takes the elevator while Y/N goes to Dick, who was now training with a wooden dummy

Y/N: That's enough. Take a shower and get ready for school.

When Batman wasn't available to do some patrolling, Dick would often patrol by himself. Initially Y/N thought this was a bad idea, but with time, he let him do his thing with one condition. Alfred had to be on his comms.

Dick: I've been wanting to talk to you about something.

Y/N: Is it something about that "Bat-Girl" you saw and teamed-up at the circus against Harley Quinn?

Dick: Yeah, listen...

Y/N cuts him off

Y/N: You did well. Harley is dangerous and you focused on saving lives rather than bringing her in. Don't let her escape next time, though.

Dick: Thanks, but I was wondering if maybe Batgirl could join the team...she's pretty skilled.

Y/N: I'll think about it. Now can you go get dressed? You're gonna be late.

Dick: Alright.

Y/N: And Dick...

Dick: Yeah?

Y/N: Leave your suit at home. I don't want your classmates going around telling you're Robin.

Dick: You know the girls thirst over Boy Wonder here. It's all over social media.

The now 16 year old high-schooler smiles at Y/N

He goes to the cave's elevator so he could freshen up and change into his school uniform

City Hall, Arthur Reeves' office

Reeves was talking on his phone in his office 

????: I should be landing any minute now. It'll be good to see you again, Arthur.

The voice of a younger woman could be heard over the phone

Reeves: You too. And don't you worry about a thing. We'll clear up these old family finances. Don't forget, you've got a bigtime city councilman on your side.

????: Can't believe it's been eight years.

Reeves: Thinking of...looking up some old friends?

????: Oh Arthur, don't start that again. He's old news.

Reeves: That's encouraging. I'll see you soon.

Meanwhile, at Brooklyn Visions Academy

Dick is chilling eating a sandwich during his break when he sees a group of bullies tormenting a younger boy

Bully 1: Hey, It's lottery boy!

Bully 2: Oh wow, Lucky guy! Gets to leave the shitty schools and come study with us. How's your cop father?

Bully 3: He can't afford studying here so he needed a lottery ticket to sit on the same desks as us.

Bully 4: We could ask you for your lunch money, but you don't have any.

Kid: Not now, guys, please.

They grab the young man by the collar and push him to the ground

Dick gets up from where he was and approaches them, helping the young teenager get uo

Dick: Hey!

Bully 1: Look at that...Flying Grayson is in the house. 

Bully 2: Why don't you fly away and don't get your ass beaten?

Bully 3: Make sure you stick the landing. Or else you'll end up like your parents.

Dick closes his fist and punches the bully in the chin, knocking him out 

This makes the students gather around them to watch the fight

The second bully tries to hit Dick, but he dodges and kicks him in the face

After that, the third bully comes running towards Dick only for him to kick him in the face and break his nose in the process

The fourth bully charges at Dick, but a red-haired girl puts her foot in front of him, making him trip and fall

Seeing the chaos in the school campus, the school counselor comes to the place and sees the four bullies groaning in pain 

Mackey: You three, with me.

At detention, the three teenagers are sitting next to each other when Dick breaks the ice

Dick: Thanks for taking care of that last guy there.

Barbara: No problem. I'm Barbara, by the way.

Dick: Dick Grayson. And you, man?

He asks the bullied kid

Miles: Miles. Miles Morales.

In the Bishop Security building in Manhattan, Kate receives a call from Dick's school

Kate: Hello?

Mackey: Hi, is this Katherine Bishop's number?

Kate: Yes it is. Who is this?

Mackey: My name is Ethan Mackey, I'm the counselor of Brooklyn Visions Academy.

Kate: May I help you, Mr. Mackey?

Mackey: Your foster son, Dick Grayson was involved in a fight earlier in school. Would you mind coming here and having a talk? And make sure to contact Mr. Wayne as well.

Kate hangs up and calls Y/N afterwards

Y/N: Hello?

Kate: Y/N? The school called me. Dick's in trouble.
