Robin ran a hand through his hair and sighed. He really wished that Batman or Oracle were here. They'd know what to do. Would telling him about his 'night job' be too much. Dick seriously looked as if he thought Robin was nuts!
"Look, bro..." Robin began.
"You're my brother?" came the immediate response.
"Well... not exactly..." Robin started.
"Then don't call me bro." Dick snapped at him. Robin look as if his entire world had shattered. Dick continued.
"You guys can't be serious. You come in here... in those things... And expect me to believe that?"

Oracle sat alone in her lair waiting for something from Robin or Falcon. After she gave them the location they both shut off their coms.
She looked at her wall that had a set of pictures of herself and Dick when they were Robin and Batgirl. A single tear fell down her cheeck.

"Dick." Falcon finnaly thought it was time to intervene. "I know this is a bit...much...But is it any better than believing you just came into existence?" Rachael thought for a moment. "Is it proof you want? If so, I can GIVE you proof." Rachael slid her palmtop computer out of her utility belt with one hand and put her other on Tim's shoulder. This was probably hard for all three of them. It had only been hgours ago that they had attended Dick's funeral...and here he wqas standing in front of them with no clue with who he was. It was like somebody was causing this all for some sort of sick pleasure of seeing them on a emotional rollercoster.(Ha! That's us! )

>I'm not evil! Your the one that came up with the story plot. I'm just...sinesterly creative < "Well?" Rachael asked as she held the palm computer up. "Do you want to find out if we're telling the truth or not?"

'John'/Dick looked at them again. He nodded slightly.
Robin raised an eyebrow at Rachel. "What do you have planned?" he asked.

Falcon punched a few numbers into the computer. "You'll see." Falcon took her hand off of Robins shoulder and turned on her com-link. "Oracle? You there? We've found him...but you might want to put your 'game face' on. We need your help solving his identity crisis." Of course, when she said game face, she meant the Oracle emblem. If anyone could find an adoption file, or a photo of Dick and the rest of them together as a family, it was Babs. Besides, Rachael had a feeling that she would be anxious to hear from them.

Babs snapped to attention to Rachel's call. IT REALLY WAS HIM! Her tears were now dropping like a water fall. There was no way she'd be able to talk to Dick without sobbing so she typed all her responsed on her computer. Turning on a link up to the palm piolt she quickly brought up all sorts of files she could on Richard John Grayson.
Dick took the palm pilot from Falcon to fine and odd sort of electronic mask on the screen.
"Greeting Dick Grayson," said the electronic voice. "I am the Oracle. What do you wish to know."
Dick looked at the two teens and then at the screen. "Who am I?" he asked.
The screen altered and showed all the information related to Richard Grayson. First was all the news paper clipping of Haley's Circus and the Flying Graysons complete with photos. That ended with the obituary of his parent's death. Then they had the articles about Bruce Wayne becoming his guardian and photos of him over the years.
The next portion was his life in New York. Complete with apartment contracts, car insurance and finally a wedding announcement of him and Starfire. She was beautiful and he suddenly wondered if he had married that Alien Goddess. But the next artical talk about how the wedding was stopped by an attack.
Next was his life in Bludhaven, with apartment records, information of his job as a bartender and his induction into the Police.
Next was another birth certificate and adoption ceritifcate stating Dick as Bruce Wayne's son. The final image that appeared on the palm pilot was a group photo. There was four men and four woman. He recongnize himself Bruce Wayne, a boy that looked like Robin and a girl that looked like Falcon. There was also an elderly man with a dignified mustache and wearing a butler's uniform. Next to the older man was an elderly woman with white hair and hard but loving eyes. Next to Falcon and Robin was a young asian girl with pained looking eyes but a big smile. But what grabbed his attention was the last woman. She had blazing red hair and large bright green eyes. He appeared to be holding her hand. He never even paid attention to the wheelchair the woman was seated in.
"This is really me...?" he asked unsure.

Dick Grayson. He was Dick Grayson.
He looked back at the picture of the family that was supposedly his. His eyes kept dancing on the image of the beautiful red-head.
"But that doesn't explain..." he finished his thoughts as he pointed to the costumes they wore.
The door opened at that moment and Lorna entered. "Okay... That's it. What's going on?"

"Just five more minutes. That's all we need." Falcon said in a Bat-like way to Dr.Gellar.

Lorna stepped back slightly at Falcon's voice but didn't leave.
"NO!" she shouted. "I want some answers here! John is my patient and-!"
"Dick."
"I beg your pardon?" Lorna aked in a shocked tone.
"That's my name: Dick." he told her. She looked at him skeptically.
"Does 'Dick' have a last name?"
"Gray-" Robin stopped him from finishing.
"I'm sorry Dr...."
"Gellar."
"I'm sorry Dr. Gellar but we can't tell you anything more."
"AND WHY NOT?" she demanded. She hated people doing this kind of crap to her.

"Probably for all the same reasons you can't tell other people about allot of what goes on in S.T.A.R. LABS: It's confidental. And..." Rachael smiled as she finnaly got to use the line that she had heard all her life from the military men in her 'old' family. "If we told you, we'd have to kill you." Course...they wouldn't realy KILL her, it was just an expression.

She looked at them. It was finally that she got a good look at Robin.
" oh my goodness!" she exclaimed. "You're Robin! The Batman's kid! I thought you were a legend!"
Robin shrugged not knowing what to say.
"But why are you two interested in John-"
"Dick"
"I'm sorry. Why are you interested in Dick?" she asked slowly. She couldn't believe this... It was Robin. She never thought he was real. Did this mean Batman was real? What was she going to tell her bosses? They'd never believe her.
