It took Dick a mere two hours to get to Gotham.
Getting His suitcases,He headed out to the parking garage,where Alfred,bulter to the Wayne houseold,was waiting for him.He pulled open the door of the 89 Rolls Royce.
"Back so soon,Master Grayson?"
"You seem surprised."
"Im not.......believe me.But If I may ask....What are you doing back so early?"
"Well....nothing was really going on in Bludhaven..."
-Enter Cut Of Nightwing crashing through window of burning building-
"...Plus,I wanted to see if Bruce was back yet."
"Master Bruce returned shortly after you had left.....However,you know him......He hasnt said much since his return."
"Well...maybe I can get a few words out of him."
Dick knew it would be a damn near impossible task,but He was pretty much the only one that could talk to Bruce without any fear,other than Alfred himself.
The Rolls Royce pulled out of the parking lot,heading into the city.
"So,where is it we are heading,sir?"
"The Clocktower.I need to ask Barbara about one of my comm.links.That is...if its not a problem."
"No trouble at all."
As Alfred turned a corner,Dick recognised the street they were pulling into.
"Hey,isnt this Barbaras neighborhood?"
"I believe it i...."
Alfred looked ahead,and nearly broke the brake system trying to stop the car.Dick saw it too.
"Oh My God..."
The Gordons house was going up in flames.......literally.Fearing for Barbara and Jim,Dick got out.
"Good Lord..."
Alfred said this as he got out of the drivers seat.
"Alfred,Call Bruce.Tell him to get here as soon as possible!"
"But what about you?"
"I'll need a change of clothes."
With that,Dick pulled out one of his suitcases,and opened it up,revealing a familiar black and blue uniform.
"Sir?"
"There may be someone inside.....maybe Barbara.....Im not use to her or Jim as Dick Grayson....Especially If Im gonna have to go inside the house."
Dick went back into the car to change,as Alfred dialed a seperate number for The Batcave....where,hopefully,Bruce was at.
Moments later,Dick got out of the car in full Nightwing gear,and leaped towards the burning ruins of The Gordon House.
Before entering,He noticed something he hadnt before......Jim Gordon himself.He could've jumped when seeing him.
"Holy S....."
Dick ran to Jims aid,seeing that he was obviously under the effects of The Joker Gas.
"GORDON!Can You hear me?!?!?!"
Jim only replied with uncontrolable laughter.
Nightwing pulled out a syringe,filled with some sort of liquid,and slammed it into Jims arm.
"Sir?"
Alfred approuched Nightwing and Jim.
"Its a setitive.It should calm him down until Br..."
Nightwing realises that Jim could hear him.
"...Batman,arrives with the antidote."
"What happened to him?"
"What do you THINK happened to him?"
Nightwing showed Alfred Jims face.
"Joker?"
"That god damn clown......"
Nightwing remembers the burning building.
"Stay here,Barbara may be inside."
Nightwing raced into the burning building,hoping he was wrong......PRAYING he was wrong........and hoping that Batman would show up soon.
OOC:JRK....I think this is where you come in.I know its sort of...short notice....but I think this would be kind of..well...IMPORTANT to Batman.
ps:I dont think anyone is playing Alfred....so I hope no one minds that I used him....
