On Dick's second day Bruce took him back down into the Cave hidden underneath the manor. The entrance was hidden behind a grandfather clock in the library. Down there Bruce took some of his blood and went to the computer to analyze it.
Dick explored around the Cave looking at all of the different Batman suits, all of the equipment and vehicles. He couldn't find his Talon suit anywhere but his weapons and claws were stored in a locked glass case. Dick still carried around the knife Bruce let him keep. Bruce gave him permission to use the basic equipment that Bruce had in the Cave . He flipped and climbed for a few hours until Alfred came to get them.

The next day followed fairly similar, Bruce spent time going over paperwork in his study and time down in the Cave going over his blood while Dick continued to use the equipment. That night Bruce went out as Batman. It was also the first time Dick left his room without Alfred coming to get him. Dick snuck out to explore the manor while Bruce wasn't here and Alfred was asleep. All of the rooms were furnished but most weren't used, he found a large dining room, a miniature cinema, a very large ball room and three other entrances to the Cave. He was exploring down by what he assumed was the front of the house when Bruce appears on the stairs. "Dick?" He calls which startles him. Admittedly he panic's thinking that Bruce would punish him for leaving his room and so he hides. He ends up hiding in the chandelier, which he found he liked. It was high, large enough for him to lounge in and it was warm for some reason. He stays hiding in the chandiler quiet as he watches as Bruce rushed from one room to the other Alfred joining after a few hours. Dick was starting to rethink the possible punishment seeing the two worried...was it worry?

Bruce seemed completely frazzled, constantly running his fingers through his hair. "Where could he have gone?"

"What was he doing when you spotted him Master Bruce?" Alfred asks, he was wearing pyjamas and a night gown somehow looking put together and professional in sleepwear.

"Looked like he was just..exploring" Bruce paces back and forth at the bottom of the stairs. "He bolted at the sight of the me. Where could he have gone Alfred?"

"I have noticed that Master Dick seems to enjoy heights. Perhaps someplace high?" Alfred says watching as Bruce continues to pace.

"High? No alarms have been triggered so he's still inside so he's not on the roof. There isn't many high places inside just.." Bruce stops pacing and turns abruptly looking up at Dick. Alfred follows his gaze and Dick realizes that he has been caught.

He hesitates a moment before he swings down from the chandelier, landing silently a few feet away from Bruce fiddling with the hem of his night shirt. He expected yelling, a punishment for disobeying a direct order not for Bruce to suddenly swoop down and pull him into his arms.

"You worried me Dick, you can't run away from me like that. Are you okay? Did something happen? Why did you hide?" Bruce says into his hair while Dick only blinks. Worried? Bruce worried about him. He wasn't sure why but hearing that only causes him to start crying. Bruce pulls him close making himself comfortable on the ground holding a bawling Dick in his arms. He eventually settled only to find a pile of blankets had been placed around him and Bruce and sitting close by was a tray of mugs. He spends the rest of the night in Bruce's arms explaining why he had hid as he sips the hot chocolate left behind for them. He also rediscover his native language by complete accident when he says a few phrases he barley remember the meaning off.

The next day Dick stays close to Bruce as him and Alfred start schooling him, English and Romanian being the main things, he was surprisingly good at Math which he supposed had something to do with the acrobatics and possible Talon training. Dick doesn't remember much about the training before he was Talon. He hated learning English, he had to write out the words and that was extremely difficult for him, he had horrible writing skills. That night Bruce let him watch at the computer in the Bat Cave as he went out as Batman. He returned with a woman in a very similar costume whom he almost attacked when she tried to hug him. He learnt that her name was Kate Kane a distant cousin of Bruce who goes by Batwoman at night. Dick liked her, she gave him more blankets and played tag in the Cave. She came back the next day when Bruce left the manor for the first time during the day, helped him with his homework giving him a cookie with each correct word. They played tag again and Kate watched movies with him after she had gone through all of Bruce's movies mumbling something under her breath that sounded like "Never noticed how much death in Disney". They end up watching Peter Pan which Dick enjoys a lot so much he keeps asking to watch it again and again until Bruce shows up again and picks him up. Kate continues to show up every few days either during the night with Batman or in the day to play or watch movies with him.

By the end of the week Dick realizes that he hadn't thought of himself as Talon in days.
