Chapter 02

Dick came to on the concrete floor, his shoulder throbbing and blood-soaked, he slipped on the fresh blood as he got to his feet, for the first time he got a chance to survey the room, it was a long corridor with 15 doors on either side with another door across from the elevator, all the doors hung open, the rooms beyond were empty, each 1 looked like a small prison cell.

On the floor lay what remained of the man in the lab coat barely recognizable as human, Dick walked to the door at the end, inside was basically empty except for a toilet and a fried laptop, as Dick exited the room he noticed a dark shape on the floor of a room labeled 30, he cautiously stepped into the room, laying on the floor was a pale teenage girl with dark hair, she was loosely covered with a cheap black blanket, under the blanket she was unclothed and aside from the girl it was the only thing in the room.

Dick leaned down, pulled his glove off, and placed 2 fingers to her neck, her skin was ice cold, and her pulse was weak, he held his hand an inch from her mouth, he felt her breath, it was warm against his hand, he wrapped her up in the blanket and scooped her up off the floor, he made his way to the elevator and laid the girl on the floor, he checked the other 29 rooms, once he was certain they were empty he took the elevator back to the ground floor.

Bruce ended the call, Dick placed the girl into the sidecar and closed the cover over her, he stopped by his apartment, bandaged his wound, and changed into civilian clothes, he also found some clothes Barbara Gordon had left during a visit, they were too big but Dick figured they were better than nothing, He transferred the girl and his suit to his car.

The plane was ready when he got to the Wayne-tech private airport, he approached the plane where Alfred Pennyworth was waiting,

"Master Grayson, are you ok?" Alfred asked, noticing Dick's shoulder,

"I'm fine" He answered climbing into the plane, he was on his way back to Gotham City.
