*Beep* *Beep* Crash went the alarm clock as Dick hit it off of the nightstand, he rolled out of carefully and walked groggily into the hot shower. It was another long night he stopped several robberies and nearly had his butt handed to him by a gang of joker wannabe's when the Bat showed up. He was given another of his long winded lectures and humiliated once more. There was a time when Dick had no one at all, that he had looked up to Bruce. Now that he was older Dick anted to be treated like an adult but Bruce still treated him like a child. He had even left for awhile and spent some time with other heroes, including his good friend Cyborg. He left the Titans to finish high school in the esteemed Gotham Academy. He also secretly wanted to prove to Bruce once and for all he could take care of himself.

Dick pulled up to the Academy in his Shelby Cobra; stepping out of his car he straightened his tie and headed to his first class. The first day was always interesting just to see who would be in his classes. Dick walked down the hall and sat in a desk beside a girl that seemed vaguely familiar.
