Dick eventually cried himself to sleep but his sleep didn't last long and that was probably for the best, because his dreams weren't dreams but memories and nightmares.

{Dick's nightmare/memories}

The bright lights in the room kept flickering off and on, making it difficult for his eyes to adjust. He could hear the heavy set of foot steps growing closer to him. His chest was tight and he was shaking with fear.

"Nu! Nu din nou! Vă rog să mă lăsați în pace!'' [No! Not again! Please leave me alone!] Dick cried out as he tried to get free of the chains trapping him onto the cold metal bed. He could hear voices whispering around him but he just couldn't make out what they were saying.

Suddenly a hand was placed on top of his head pushing he head down onto the metal bed to keep him still. Dick knew from experience if he fought this it would only cause him much more pain and suffering.

"Vă rog!" [Please!] Dick begged and was given a quick slap that sung his check. He should have known better but no matter how much pain they caused him he still held out hope that they would hear him and listen to what he said and stop hurting him so much but it never worked and each time it broke and killed some of his hope. He was learning and fearing to trust people less and less now. He was folding into himself and all love and hope and joy he once experienced was faded away at his finger tips.

Dick lifted his head up slightly to see what the man was going to do. He saw the man had moved towards his feet where a tray of items were held upon. He saw the man look between two different needles, holding them up to look at the liquids inside them. The man turned to face Dick with an evil grin upon his face.

"Maybe we should use both of them today, since you love them so much!" said the man as he walked over towards Dick's arm. "I can tell how much you love them by your screams'' he said and quickly jabbed one of the needles into his arms, it contained a yellow liquid and as soon as it entered Dick his whole body tensed up. His body felt like it was on fire and it only seemed to grow more intense, as much as he hated to scream for this man who took pleasure in it, Dick could no longer hold it in and a scream erupted from his sore throat from all the screaming he has done. He burning continued to spread and his vision blurred but he could tell that the man was preparing to give him another shot this time with the clear liquid that messed badly with his mind, making him see his parents fall to their deaths a hundred times in a row and then them blaming him. Tears streamed down his face. He was so tried of all of this and had no idea why in the hell this was happening to him and why these people wanted to do this to him.

"AHHHH!" Dick screamed as the burning took full effect and it felt like his skin was melting off of him and then a sharp stabbing pain formed in his eyes, which told him that it was the clear liquid now in his system.Dick squeezed his eyes tightly shut when he suddenly felt a tight grip on his shoulder.

"Hello boy, ready for round two?" called out a creepy familiar voice. Dick shook his head and tried his hardest to yank his wrists free of his chains but it did him no good, it only caused his wrists to become bruised and bloody.
------------------------------------

Dick shot up in the bed, panting crazily. He couldn't catch his breath at all. His eyes were wide and when his vision became slightly more clear he could see Bruce sitting beside him with his hand on his shoulder. That caused fear to flash in his eyes and memories of the man touching his shoulder asking him if he was ready for round two.

Dick jumped backwards and almost fell off the bed if it wasn't for Bruce grabbing a hold of him, but that only made Dick panic even more. He could hear the sound of Bruce's voice but he just couldn't understand the words he was saying. He yanked his arm quickly away and out of Bruce's grip and quickly got off the bed to land on weak legs. He stumbled forward but caught himself before he fell.

He then heard his name being said and turned to the voice but he didn't see Bruce standing there he saw the man who made him call him master.

"NU!!!"[NO!!!] Dick screamed and rushed forwards on unsteady legs. He crashed into the wall and slid down to the ground. His knees where pulled up and his shaking hands reached up and covered his ears. Dick shook his head quickly with his eyes shut tightly with fresh pained tears traveling down his face.

"NU! VĂ RĂSPUNDEȚI NOI! NU NU NU NU! NU POT! NU PLEASE NU! NU MAI MULȚIM!" [NO! PLEASE NOT AGAIN! NO, NO NO NO! I CAN'T! DON'T PLEASE DON'T! NO MASTER PLEASE!!] screamed Dick at the top of his lungs.

Bruce froze where he was when he heard Dick scream out the word: Master. Anger filled him up but he knew that he couldn't allow it to show because he figured if Dick looked at him and saw his anger he would assume it was directed at him and the last thing Bruce wanted to do was hurt this child any farther. Bruce felt like all of this was his fault, if he had just looked harder for him then maybe all of this could have been avoided.

"Dick-" Bruce began but was silenced when a tray went flying towards his head. Bruce ducked the tray and with wide eyes looked at Dick. Dick didn't touch the try physically which meant he moved it psychically. This was very new and by the looks of it, it was something new to Dick as well. His blue eyes were wide and he glanced up at Bruce with so much sadness and fear.

"I'm sorry'' Dick whispered before he collapsed onto the ground. Bruce raced forward towards Dick as his body began convulsing on the ground. Bruce picked Dick gently up and called out for Alfred. He laid Dick down upon the bed and tried his best to hold Dick's body still, he didn't want Dick to end up hurting himself.

Alfred rushed into the room in his pajamas and night robe with wide eyes as he stared down at Dick convulsing. "My word" he said before rushing into action. He quickly grabbed something but Bruce was more focused on Dick then anything Alfred was doing. He had his trust in Alfred and knew that he would do everything he possibly could for Dick. Soon Dick's body began to calm down and Bruce looked over at Alfred, his eyes silently asking him if he was going to be alright.

"I gave him a mild sedative, but we won't know how he is sir, until he wakes up I'm afraid" said Alfred who sighed as he glanced down at Dick.

Bruce nodded his head and Alfred slowly turned and patted his shoulder before leaving the room. Bruce took a step forward and ran his hand through Dick's ebony hair.

"I'm so sorry Dick, for all of this'' whispered Bruce who sighed and took a seat beside the bed.
