"Get off of him," she told Robin. The Boy Wonder complied and stood away from 'John'. He looked at Falcon in concern.
"Now explain what you are doing here, or I'm calling the police!" she told the two vigilantes.
Robin wasn't sure how to answer this. Should they tell her the truth about who Nightwing really was? She had already seen him unmasked. Giving him a real name would easily lead back to the entire Clan. Also Robin was a bit insulted considering how close the Titans, JLA and S.T.A.R. Labs.
"Ummm...."

"We....uh...We're close friends with his family. He's been missing since this whole 'Dominion' thing started...I guess you could say he's one of our 'cases'." Falcon looked to Robin to explain further. They'd have to give the doctor some kind of alias for Dick.(What IS his undercover alias, anyway? I'm still new<two years> to the comic biz)

>>Dunno. He must have deleted it and just left it to us. So I guess that makes it your turn.<<

Robin had no real idea what to tell them. He couldn't reveal the secret with a perfect stranger. It was obviously Dick Grayson standing there, and that would lead to Bruce Wayne. And if it got out that Bruce Wayne's son was captured by Dominion, alot of questions would be asked. This just wasn't his week...

"Oh realy?" The Doctor said sarcasticly, she didn't believe them. "Then who is he?" "Uh...Robert Wellington." Falcon replied as soon as she noticed that Robin was drawing up a blank.

"And just who is Robert Wellington?" Lorna said in a sacastic tone. 'John' glared at them. That wasn't his name. He knew it.
"They're lying." he said bluntly.
Robin and Falcon swapped confused looks. Apparently his instincts were still good.
"That's it I'm calling the police..." Lorna said moving to the phone.

"Wait!" Falcon said shoving the phone off the table with a batarang she had thrown. She stormed over to 'John'. "You obviously are still your old self. Memory loss or no memory loss." She poked him in the chest with a single finger to embelish her point. "Would you want us to tell a complete stranger who you are? Are you one hundred percent sure you don't recognize Robin or me?" He had known that 'Robert' wasn't his name, would he also now how he would normaly NOT want other people to know who he was?

'John' looked at the young girl and then at the teenaged boy. He didn't know what to think.
These two teenagers seemed very intent on proving they were his friends, but he couldn't remember anything.
"Please," Robin said gently to Lorna. "Just let us talk to him alone for a bit." Lorna didn't move, but 'John' took a deep breath.
"Lorna," he said in a low voice. "Please step out of the room." She looked at him in shock.
"You can't be serious! I'm not leaving you alone with two kids that break into your room in the middle ofthe night!"

'John' gave Lorna a pleading look, and finally she gave in. "Fine! But I am staying outside the door."
'John' nodded in thanks to Lorna as she stepped outside the room. He then turned to the two vigilantes.
"Now talk." he growled.

Falcon looked over to Robin. She had a hard enough time trying to cover for all three of them. Besides, Tim had known Dick longer. So he could better explain it to 'John'. "Your call, Rob'"

"Gee thanks Falcon..." he sighed and turned to 'John.'
"You're real name if Richard John Grayson. All your friends call you Dick." He was met with an shocked look from 'John'
"I'm serious." Robin said while Rachel giggled.
"You are a member of the Bludhaven Police department, and the adopted son of Bruce Wayne..." He looked at Rachel wondering how far to go...

Rachael, who was trying so hard to supress her giggle(and suceeding ) over the last bit, nodded. Yes. It was important that Dick knew all the details of what had happened, who he was, who his loved ones were. They might be hard to tell at some points....but it might just jog his memory abit. Besides, hopefully Dick's own instincts would keep him from spilling any information to Dr.Gellar or anyone else.

>>>Sorry for the long response. I lost my server... Robin sighed. "When you were little you grew up in the cricus. Your parents were John and Mary Grayson. You performed on the trapeez. You were called the flying Graysons." 'John' looked at Robin in doubt. A circus? Seemed a little far-fetched. "During a performance your family was killed. You were taken in by Billionaire Bruce Wayne. You lived with him until you were 19 as his ward. Then you left Bruce to go to New York. Three years ago you moved to the city of Bludhaven and two years ago you joined the Police Force." He looked at the man he thought as a brother. The man looked at him as if he was crazy. Of course... he was standing in a hotel room wearing green tights... At least they weren't the short pants... "Over one year ago, Bruce adopted you as his legal son." 'John'/ Dick stood in silence as he tried to take everything in. A circus? A billionaire as his adopted dad? A cop? "And how do you two fit into my 'life', hm?" he asked in a skeptical tone. "I'm Robin. She's Falcon." "Okay..." 'Joh' said with an eyebrow raised. "So..."
