A/N: Contains nightmares, self harm, and mentions of rape.

"It's alright Dick, get some rest'' said Jason and Dick nodded his head at him just as his heavy eyes began to flutter shut. Jason smiled seeing Dick finally fall asleep, he could tell that Dick was fighting it badly and he had a guess why.

Nightmares.

Jason had experienced a few nightmares about his past here and there and could see the fear held deeply within Dick's eyes. Jason wished that he could prevent Dick from experiencing the fear and pain nightmares held but he knew that there wasn't anything he could do to stop it.

But that didn't mean that he couldn't be there for Dick afterwards.

Jason ran his fingertips through Dick's hair before he quickly leaned forward touching his lips to Dick's warm forehead. He pulled back and blushed before biting his bottom lip and turning his attention back onto the TV in the corner of the room.

-------------------------------------------------------

The ride from the hospital was extremely long and quite. The silence was powerful. Jason kept glancing over at Dick as he leaned his head against the car's window. Jason sighed and glanced up over at Bruce who gave him a small smile.

Once they arrived at the manor, Jason could see Dick's chest rise and fall even quicker now because he was nervous. Jason reached over slowly and grasped Dick's hand. Dick's head turned quickly, his bright blue eyes meeting Jason's face.

"It's going to be okay now'' whispered Jason as he gave Dick's hand a small squeeze. Dick inhaled sharply and then nodded his head 'yes' and then glanced out of the window, looking at the manor.
Their hands slipped apart as Dick first began to get out of the car first.

Dick's chest tighten and he began to shake more with every step. He reached down and pulled his long sleeve t-shirt down more, covering his knuckled. After that he rubbed his wrist where his self harm scars were. He was so over whelmed by everything that had just recently had, it made him have the urge to cut, to release everything that he was feeling and holding in.

Jason saw this too, he watched as Dick pulled his sleeve down farther and then rub the area where his scars and cuts were. It made Jason worry about Dick, he was fearful that Dick would try to hurt himself again.

"Please don't'' thought Jason, he wish he could tell Dick that but Dick right now didn't know that he knew about his self harm scars and cuts.

He kept glancing over at Jason then over at Bruce. He could tell by the look within Bruce's eyes that he knew the truth, he knew what the doctor had said into the hallway. He really didn't want Bruce to know, because he didn't ever want to think about it ever again or have someone treat him differently because of it.

As they grew closer towards the steps, Dick's nerves were on fire, he was so nervous. He was also hopeful as well, because he was finally somewhere safe, where he wouldn't be hit.
They all slowly made their way up the stairs, both Bruce and Jason kept looking over at him and Dick could feel their gaze laying heavily upon him.

Just then, one of the front doors of the manor slowly opened to revel Alfred standing there with a warm smile. Dick froze on the step he was on and looked up at Alfred and gave him a small smile, for Dick liked Alfred. He thought that he was very cool and interesting, for he noticed things right away and he didn't judge him either.

"Well hello there Master Dick, welcome back'' said Alfred as he stepped aside, allowing Dick, Jason and Bruce to enter the manor.
As soon Dick was inside he quickly turned around to face Alfred.

"Y-You called me m-master Dick not mister Dick like the last time'' said Dick more as a statement than a question. Dick watched as Alfred nodded his head and walked closer towards him.

"That is true sir. It is because this is now your home'' said Alfred with a smile.

"Jason,'' said Bruce suddenly, making Dick jump a little bit at the sound of his deep voice. "Why don't you show Dick to his bedroom" said Bruce and Jason nodded his head right away and held out his hand towards Dick. Dick looked down at Jason's hand then up to his face. He saw a smile that sent a warmth inside of him. Dick finally took Jason's hands as he then rushed up the stairs.

Dick glanced over his shoulder to see both Bruce and Alfred whispering about something. Just then he saw Alfred glance up at him with a heavy sadness held tightly within his eyes.

And Dick knew from that moment that Bruce had told him about one of his biggest secrets.

---------------------------------------------------

Dick entered the large room that was now his bedroom. His eyes widen as he looked at everything. The room was huge and Dick didn't know what to say or think for that matter. He has never had a room this big before and he was just completely amazed by it. His eyes then drifted over towards the large bed in the room. Dick turned to look at Jason and gave him a big smile, silently thanking him for all of this, because Dick knew that Jason was the reason why he finally escaped his foster parents and was safe right now.

Dick made his way over towards the bed and allowed his fingertips to brush the top of it then push his hand into the soft bed.

"I've never had a bed before'' whispered Dick more to himself but Jason heard it. Jason sighed and slowly walked over towards Dick and gently placed his hand upon Dick's shoulder. Dick just shrugged his shoulders and Jason could tell that Dick really didn't want to talk about it.

"Well...get some rest Dick. I know hospital beds aren't the comfiest. And besides, you have been through a lot lately and could use a nap'' said Jason and watched as Dick smiled and gave a little chuckle at the word 'nap'.

"I'll check in one you in a little bit, but for now try and get some sleep, okay?" Jason said and Dick nodded his head as he slowly climbed up into the large king size bed.

Just as Jason was turning to leave Dick alone, small cold fingers wrapped their way around his wrist. Jason looked down at his arm then over at Dick. His blue eyes held tears in them along with a sense of fear as well.

"I-I....I don't want t-to be alone'' whispered Dick. Jason exhaled and glance over at the closed bedroom door. He wanted to help Alfred in the kitchen make some type of meal for Dick but feeling Dick's tiny fingers grip tighter on his wrist made him want to never leave Dick.

"Okay'' said Jason as he moved his hand, signalling for Dick to move over so he could lay in the bed beside him.

Jason laid on his side as he watched Dick slowly close his eyes. Jason smiled and laid there for awhile before he felt somewhat tired and he didn't think Dick would mind if he slept beside him, so Jason allowed his eyes to close and to drift off into sleep, but it wasn't a peaceful one.

And hour later, Jason was awoken by screams and Dick shaking and throwing his arms. Jason sat up quickly and put a hand on Dick's shoulder and began to easily try to wake him up.

"It's okay Dick, just wake you.'' Jason said, "You're safe here. Just open your eyes.''

Dick kept crying and then he began to mutter some words in his nightmare.

"No...don't! Please Stop!!! I-I...I don't want to, no please! I'm sorry!!! Not again!! Please not again, I can't!
Stop Touching Me! NOO!!!" Dick yelled then suddenly shot up in bed. He had tears running down his face as he tried to breath normally. Jason sat up beside him and Dick looked over at him with a look of pain and hopelessness.

"S-Sorry that I woke y-you up'' said Dick as he brushed the tears off his face.

"It's okay'' said Jason. The both sat there in silence for a great amount of time before Jason spoke up again.
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked and right away Dick shook his head 'no'. Jason nodded his head and then laid back down on the bed, a piece of him really wanted Dick to trust him fully and let him in, especially when he is hurting but Jason also knew a thing or two about trust and letting someone in. Dick turned to look down at Jason before he decided to lay back down. Jason rolled onto his side, facing Dick and Dick did the same, now facing Jason.

Dick slowly reached out and took Jason's hand in his.

"You p-promise me that you w-won't treat m-me diff-diff-differently" Dick asked, his blue eyes glued upon their hands that laid in the middle of them.

"I promise'' said Jason and Dick quickly looked up at him. Dick's blue eyes scanned Jason's green one, hoping that he didn't find any lies within them.

"O-O-Okay...'' began Dick. "I-I....he...he...''

"Dick, it's okay take your time'' said Jason and Dick nodded his head as he tried to be comfortable with saying it, because he has held it in for so long and he tried his hardest not to think about it but it was always there in his mind, haunting him.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, or if you're not ready too'' Jason said and gave Dick's hand a little squeeze.

Dick hadn't said it aloud to anyone because if he did, a part of him feared that it would make it true and not just some horrible, graphic nightmare.

"I...I was.....r-raped'' whispered Dick. He quickly closed his eyes shut tightly and began to shake. Tears once more began to fall down his face.

Jason's eyes widen but before he could truly place what Dick had told him, Jason reached over quickly and pulled Dick into his chest. One of Dick's hands reached up and balled up Jason's t-shirt as he now let sobs slip out of his mouth.

"Shhhh....shhh Dick. It's okay...shhhh...I'm here. Shhh...it's okay'' said Jason as he ran his fingers through Dick's hair, calming him down somewhat as his sobs continued to come out.
