Chapter eighteen

Blüdhaven was beautiful, although it had much of the same air as Gotham, like there was danger all around you, constantly.

The air was smoggy, but growing up in a city like Gotham, well you get used to it.

About twenty minutes later, we arrived at a single story police building, dickie was already in uniform with the name Grayson on his badge.

I hopped off his motorcycle, and followed him into the station.

At his desk, across from where he sat, a lady that I assume to be his partner or something was doing some paperwork.

"Hey Amy, hows it going today?" Dick said with flourish.

"Fine, you back from your mysterious emergency trip yet?" She asked without even looking up from what she was doing.

"Yeah uh about that, I have someone I want you to meet. Daphne this is Amy Rohrbach, Amy this is Daphne King, my sister."

Amy looked up from her work, and raised a brow. "Oh so you're the infamous Daphne King, your brother talks about you a lot, but I thought you were dead?"

"Ah um well so did he, I just Uh went away for a few years"

Amy narrowed her eyes at me. "Grayson I thought you told me that she was only a few months younger than you"

"Ah, well I look youthful for my age, huh dickie" I judged him with my elbow.

"Uh yeah besides she's only twenty."

I mentally rolled my eyes, come on dick make it more convincing!!

Amy narrowed her eyes at me. "Whatever, anyway dick we've got patrol, so your little sister has to ride in the back."

Dick looked at me, I shrugged, turning back to the lady he said. "Well what are we waiting for?"

Amy finished whatever she was writing, and stood up, heading towards the side door, that I assume leaf out to where the cars were.

The police cruiser was like any other generic cruiser that I've ever encountered.

We drove around in silence for a while, it was slightly awkward because well I didn't really know Amy and I was in the backseat of the police car, so we had a metal grate in between us.

"Dickie how long do you work for?" I asked, Amy snorted.

"You call your brother dickie?" Humor glinted in her eyes from the mirror.

"Yeah, have since I was nine"

"Why not before that?"

"I'm adopted, Dickie was adopted around the same time as me so, we've known each other since I was nine, and he was ten"

"You're adopted?" Any asked her partner.

"Yeah, it's just something I don't like to talk about, neither of us do, we both come from tragic pasts, so let's leave it at that" he sighed through his nose, and the car descended into since save the engine's purr.

The radio ended up breaking the silence. "Squad car 24, come in squad car 24"

"Go ahead, squad car 24 reporting"

"There's been gunshots reported on rocker street"

"Acknowledged, we'll go check it out"

Amy turned the car around, the sirens started blaring as we sped to rocker street.

Two minutes later, we arrived at the scene.

There was a man standing in the street, he had a gun that I immediately recognized as the gun that shot me, pointed at a group of street thugs.

The situation was tense I could feel it from the car.

"Dickie" I hissed as his partner got out of the car and started to approach the stand off.

"What"

"That's the gun"

"Yeah one we need to take into custody"

"No I mean THE gun, the one that sent me here, we need to get our hands on that gun so that we can send me back home"

"How do you suggest we do that? I'm just a regular cop, and you're a civilian remember?"

"Okay I get it but on another note, I'm not sitting in back with him"

"Fine we'll figure something out, just stay here for now"

"Fine" I leaned back onto my seat and watched as dick got out and started approaching Amy, who was trying to diffuse the situation.

Suddenly there were guns pointed at dick, and before I could do anything, he was shot.

Tears welled up in my eyes, as I quickly exited the car, ignoring Amy's protests, and the street thugs warnings. I rushed to him, he was shot in the heart, and fading fast.

This was too similar to how my parents died and I had the worst feeling of helplessness as I watched him try to breathe.

"He Dickie you're gonna be okay, alright, you can't leave me, I still need you" I chocked out as I was kneeling by his side.

"Hey, Hey," He said taking my hand into his "it's gonna be alright, you have Bruce, Jason, Tim, and Damian, they'll take care of you, and they'll help you find a way home alright?"

I nodded shakily.

Dick took one last stuttering breath, and his eyes darkened.

Crying, and trying to see through the tears I vaguely heard "officer down, officer down, we need back up"

I shut his eyes, and looked at the group, grief clouding my judgment at the moment, and ignoring Amy, I looked at the potential killer in the group of people standing before me.

Before I could even think, I heard the gunshot, and get the fall before darkness.
