The Batcave, Wayne Estate, Westchester

The Batcave was silent. Y/N sat on the front of the Batcomputer, deep in thought, the events of the past few days weighing heavily on his mind. The incident with Two-Face had been close, too close, and he couldn't shake the image of Dick, battered and bruised, from his thoughts.

Dick, dressed in his Robin uniform, paced back and forth across the cave. The tension between them was palpable, each step echoing the unspoken words and unresolved anger.

Dick: This isn't fair, Y/N. You can't just ground me like I'm some kid! I'm 17!

Y/N: Dick, you disobeyed a direct order. You put yourself and others at risk.

Dick: I saved lives! Isn't that what we're supposed to do? Or am I just here to follow your every command?

Y/N: It's about discipline and knowing your limits! You can't just rush into danger without thinking!

Dick: You don't see me as your son, do you? I'm just a sidekick...a soldier to you.

The words hung in the air, a painful truth that Y/N struggled to deny. Lately, he hasn't been focusing on being a father to Dick. He stood up, facing Dick, his expression a mix of anger and sorrow.

Y/N: Dick, I care about you more than you'll ever know. But this... this isn't just about you. It's about the mission, about protecting everyone

Dick: You don't get it. I can't do this anymore. I won't.

Y/N: What are you saying?

Dick: I'm saying I quit. I'm done being Robin

The statement hit Y/N like a punch to the gut. He had feared this moment, but he never thought it would come to this. He reached out, but Dick stepped back, the distance between them growing.

Y/N: Dick, son...

Dick: No, Y/N! I'm done. I need to find my own path, away from your shadow.
