After the whole asylum, we had returned back to the safe house that Dick had. We all needed a goodnight rest after what we all went through. I couldn't comprehend what they all went through, I felt so bad for them and there was nothing I could say or do to make this right...

A new day began, I slept in a spare room in the apartment. It was really comfy bed, it wasn't cheap or dirty and it was like heaven to touch. I was only wearing my bra and panties. They were a birthday present from one of my girl-friends, the bra had a fancy lace design that sat under my breasts.

The main object I wanted to do today was to talk to Dick about the past and what he did for me

The main object I wanted to do today was to talk to Dick about the past and what he did for me. I owe him a proper thank you to his face, especially after all these years. I push the covers back and was met with a cold chill from the outside world, but I didn't let that bother me. I rummaged around in the draws to see if I could throw something over myself. I found a large baggy men's sweater - which was a light cream colour and it was a wool fabric. I didn't waste anytime in throwing over me, and once it was on, it came down to my knees like it was a dress. I exit the bedroom and walk a few meters down the hallway to the other room which was being used by Dick and Kory. I wasn't blind nor stupid, Kory was an attractive young woman, who wouldn't go for her. I stood in front of the door, taking a deep breath before knocking swiftly on the door.

"Come in," Dick's voice rang out from behind the door, making me twist the door knob and push open the door. Entering the room, I see him leaning against the head-board of the bed, his top half bare and on display. "Vanessa," he spoke surprised as he shifts a bit in his place, sitting up straight as I closed the door behind.

"Hey, can we talk?" I ask him, my hands fumbling with themselves, like I was nervous and to be honest. I was... Dick nods his head as I move further into the room, and coming to the edge of the double bed he was on the left side of it. "Do you remember me?" I ask him, plain and simply, no point beating around the bush. It was better to be direct with him...

"Of course I remember you, they didn't take my-"

"No, I don't mean that," I cut Dick off before he could finish, his gaze looked perplexed like he had no idea what I was on about. "Two years ago, I was in Gotham. Visiting a friend and I took a shortcut down an ally way. Two men noticed me and tried having their way, but a masked figure came swooping down to my rescue. And that person was Robin," I spoke gently to him my eyes never leaving his warm chocolate ones. "It was you Dick. And for so long I thanked Robin for saving my life, but I was wrong I shouldn't be thanking him... I should be thanking you," I offered a small smile, knowing that it sort of meant a lot to him. Robin was just a character he played, Dick was the one making the choices, making the actions and for so long people thanked Robin and not him...

"Robin was apart of me for so long, and when I left. I just couldn't give him up. I was nothing without being Robin, but now I'm still nothing," Dick states as that was a pile of bullshit.
