Barbara caught sight of the batarangs but she was too far away to do anything.
"Bruce!"

Batman, already having noticed them, was on the ground in mid summersault when the battarangs hit the wall behind him and exploded. "D a m n you Batman!" Strange shouted, dodging him and tearing off his coat to reveal his custom batsuit. "You think you're so clever... TRY THIS!" Strange tore out the leg from an arm-chair and swung it at Batman who only just had time to dodge, being caught by the end and flung into a wall.

Barbara wheeled to the computer and set the cave's autolocks. No one was getting in or out.
Meanwhile at the table, Dick slowly regained conciousness. His whole body felt fuzzy. He could hear shouts from all aroudn the cave.

Batman lunged, putting all his force into the punch which sank into Strange's jaw, knocking them bothe back. Strange flipped up as Batman stood and rounhouse kicked him in the stomach sending him to the ledge of a cliff. Batman rolled away as Strange leapt at him. "Wha...NOOOOO!!!!" Trange yelled, toppling into the chasm.

Barbara gasped as she rolled to the edge and looked down. All she saw was darkness.
"Guys..." came Dick Grayson's weakened voice. "Anyone there...?"

Batman stepped to the edge and looked over, then turned to Barbra. "I'll handle this. You and Dick had somewhere to go?"

"No... Its okay..." Dick said standing up form the bed slightly. "Where is Strange?" Dick asked. "What happened?"
Barbara looked at Dick and then to Bruce.

"He had another apointment." Bruce said in a venomous mono-tone.

Dick looked at Bruce questioningly. Then he saw Barbara cying over by the computer and ran to hold her.
"It's okay baby..." he cooed in her ear. "It's over..."
"I thought I was going to loose you again..." Barbara cried. "I couldn't... not again..."
As the tears subsided, Dick turned to Bruce.
"Thank you Bruce," he said to his adoptive father his eyes filled with tears.

Bruce opened his mouth to speak, then closed it. Batman didn't get emotional. "You two've got a plane to catch." He said, then turned and slowly walked up the stairs to his study, disapearing around the hall for some much needed sleep.

Dick wanted to have hugged Bruce, but as Batman tells everyone. He doesn't DO emotions. Babara took Dicks hand. "He loves you, you know." she told him. "Yeah," Dick replied. "I know..."
