     I end up on a random roof top." Guys I'm so sorry I put you through that! I wis---- I wi-," I say but can't finish my sentence. Regret flows through my body like a river. I shouldn't have put them through that but I still don't want to tell the Justice League.
   Then I notice I'm all alone." Hello," I shout into the empty night. Only a breeze replies my call. I look around. I don't recognize the city, but then I do. It's Gotham.
   I whip around looking for anyone in my team. Where are my friends? Then of course being Gotham it starts to rain." Great," I mumble to myself. I could just go to Wayne Manor. I start to walk but am stopped dead in my tracks by an evil cackle.
    " I thought my little bird was gone,"said a voice. I turn around to see the Joker and Harley. Oh no.
   "Joker, thought you were in Arkham(?)," I spit. He began to laugh and Harley joined in. I stood there not knowing whether to fight or run. Then I decide I don't really want to be shot again so I turn to run, but before I can I see a mask. It is orange and black and that's all I see before I was hit across the head.
   I wake to a jail cell. My hands are chained to the wall. My belt is gone. As well is my communicator. I can see moonlight come out of the little barred window. Where am I?
   The cell door opens to Slade." Hello my apprentice," his voice echoes all around me. I shrivel a little on the inside but I don't let him know.
   " I'm nobody's apprentice," I say. A sick smile grows on his face. He walks towards me then crouches down in front of me. He grabs me chin but I yank away.
   "By the time I am done with you. You will be my apprentice or you won't be alive at all. I won't be easy this time," he whispered in a spine chilling voice. He then moves quickly and stabs a needle in my neck. I hiss in surprise and pain." Sleep tight my little Robin."

   "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TONIGHT WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT THE BEST ACROBATS IN THE WORLD THE FLYING GRAYSONS," Mr haley's voice rings through the tent. Crowd cheer. I watch my dad jump of the platform and on to the trapeze.
  " THE FLYING GRAYSONS WILL BE PERFORMING A DEATH DEFYING ACT. THEY WILL BE DOING THE TRAPEZE WITH NO NETS," his voice echoes again. The fans continue to cheer. I then watch my mother jump into my father's arms
   " TONIGHT PERFORMING FOR THE FIRST TIME IS DICK GRAYSON!" I get ready to jump then I hear my life snapping. I look to see my parents falling." Dick," my mother mouthes as she falls. I then hear the sound that will haunt me for the rest of my life.
  "MAMI, TATI," I scream as loud as I possibly can. I pretty much slide down the latter to see then. I run to their sides. There blood flows away no long in need. I grab my mom's dead hand. Tear block my vision.
  " You should have saved me," I hear her voice. I look at her. She didn't move. My imagination sucked this up to torment me.
  " Mami        Tati," I whisper
