About fifteens minutes into the drive, Dick started to squirm in the seat and whimper. "Shut the hell up and stay still!" Aaron yelled at the ebony boy, who had tears rolling down his cheeks. Dick continued to squirm around, trying to get his hands free. "Stop moving around or I'm going to pull this car over and beat you!" Aaron hissed. Dick ignored him and continued to squirm; Aaron, doing as he said, pulled the car over getting out and walking to the back door, opening it. He grabbed Dick by the hair, pulling him out of the car and beating him. Unknown to Aaron, people had seen and called the police, while others went to help Dick.

A young woman with dirty blonde hair and blue-gray eyes was the first to reach Dick and pulled Aaron off of him, who had tears streaming down his cheeks. The woman turned to face Dick, taking off the duck tape, untying his hands and picking him up as he shook in her arms. "Are you alright?" The woman asked hugging Dick to her chest as he hid his face in her shoulder and cried. She stood up and carried him to a safe location. Dick started to squirm in her arms. "It's okay I'm going to take you somewhere safe, alright?" She asked as he nodded. "What is your name?" He signed into her back. "My name is Danielle," Danielle answered, "What is yours?" Dick had stopped a little but was still shaking. "Richard" He signed into her back again. "Do you know where you live?" Dick nodded and signed "At Wayne Manor."

Danielle was, at the very least, shocked that Dick was a 'Wayne' kid. "Mr. Wayne is your dad?" She asked and Dick hesitantly nodded. "How about we get you home?" Dick eagerly nodded with a big smile on his face. Danielle carried him to her car and buckled him in the back seat. As Danielle drove to Wayne Manor, Dick stared out of the window, seemingly mesmerized by everything. About five minutes into the drive back, Dick had to use the bathroom. "Potty!" he suddenly said scaring Danielle and jumping up and down on the seat. "We're almost there can you hold it?" Dick shook his head. "I need potty!" Danielle sighed and pulled into the closest parking lot. She got out, opening his door and unbuckled him.

Bruce decided to check up on Dick to make sure he was alright. He walked up to Dick's door and knocked, he waited for a knock in response but received none. Bruce slowly opened the door and peeked inside, to see the room empty and the bathroom door opened. He did he go? He thought walking into the room. "Alfred, have you seen Dick?" Bruce asked as Alfred passed by the room. "No, I have not, Master Bruce" Alfred answered. "Have yo-" Bruce was cut off by a knock on the front door. Alfred headed downstairs answer to the door. When Alfred opened the door, he saw a young woman standing there. "Can I help you, ma'am?" Alfred asked and she smiles brightly. "I believe he belongs to you?" She said as she picked Dick up in her arms and tickling his belly, causing Dick to giggle. "Ah, Master Richard there you are!" Alfred sighed "What were you doing outside?" Dick reached for Alfred, who happily took him. "Danielle!" Dick shouted pointing to the young woman, Danielle. "Alfred who is at the door?" Bruce asked from the top of the stairs. "Miss Danielle and she found Master Richard," Alfred explained setting Dick down, who sat down on the floor.

Bruce walked down the stairs over to Dick and stood him up. "Where was he?" Bruce asked Danielle. "About twenty-five minutes away, tied up and being beaten by a man with dirty blonde hair, like mine, and green eyes," Danielle explained, Bruce looked down at Dick picking him up and hugging him tightly. Dick looked at Bruce in the eyes and signed "Call Jakey." Bruce returned his attention to Danielle. "Thank you for bringing Dickie home." Bruce flashed Danielle his Playboy smile. "Anything to keep a child safe in this hell of a city," Danielle said rubbing Dick's hair. "Daddy!" Hailey yelled running down the stairs and headed over to Bruce. Hailey stood next to Bruce and pushed Dick away from Bruce. Danielle bent down so she was Hailey's height and said: "Is this Hailey?" Hailey crossed her arms and scoffed. "Yes, This is Hailey," Bruce replied rubbing Hailey's hair.

"Danielle, next week on Friday, I am having a gala and you are welcome to come..." Bruce trailed off with his signature Playboy smile. "I would love to come" Danielle smiled at Bruce. "Great I'll pick you up at 7" Her smile grew when he said that. "Goodbye, Richard, Bruce. Goodbye Hailey." Danielle waved walking to her car and driving home.

Dick had wondered into the kitchen to see Alfred making dinner. "Me help?" Dick asked walking over to Alfred. "Of course, Master Richard" Alfred replied. Dick walked over and helped Alfred make dinner.

Hailey was in her room playing with her dolls, when she heard a knock on her door, turned around to see Dick standing in the doorway. "What you want, Dickie?" She asked irritated and Dick backed away a little. "Dinner" He whispered looking at the floor. Hailey stood up walking passed Dick and pushed hard enough to make fall back. "You a fweak!" Hailey told him while laughing and walking to the kitchen.

Bruce walked out of his room to eat dinner when he saw Dick sitting against the wall with tears rolling down his face. Bruce rushed over to Dick's side picking him up and sitting Dick in his lap. "Why are you crying, Dickie?" Bruce asked hugging him. "Am I a freak?" He signed as his hands shook. "No, Dick, you're not a freak. Who told you that?" Dick buried his face into Bruce's chest. "Lee" He said with fresh tears. "Don't listen to her, Dickie," Bruce told him softly "Let's go and eat dinner." Bruce stood up and carried Dick to the kitchen.
