Dick moved in front of the bullet. His eyes widened when the sudden feeling of metal ripped through his shoulder. He yelled in pain, instantly falling to the ground. This made them turn around and lay eyes upon the young acrobat desperately trying to put enough pressure on his new wound. "Dick!" Red Robin screamed and dropped to his knees beside him. He held him close and tried to stop the blood flow, tears in his eyes. "Looks like I've got a job opening for a new apprentice," Slade mocked, holstering the now bulletless gun. He smiled to himself, wanting to stay longer to see the light drain from Dick's eyes but he had to go.

"Renegade, Red Robin with me now. Red Hood get Dick to the Batcave as fast as you can get it?" Batman ordered. "But he hates me now!" Red Hood protested. 

"Shut up and do your job!" Red Robin snapped, letting go of Dick. "You save him or I'll make your life a living Hell!" he added. He, Batman and Renegade then ran after the now sprinting Slade. They were so angry they might just kill him Red Hood had found himself thinking. His attention then turned to Dick who was crying quite loudly. He went to pick him up but Dick flinched. Red Hood didn't like that. Not one bit. "It's okay Dickie-bird, I'm not going to hurt you," he insisted, picking him up. Dick looked worse for wear. His eyes were beginning to dull by the second and the blood was pouring out of him. "Why a-are you help-helping?" Dick stuttered with a slight slur. Red Hood held him closer and began to run out of the building to the Batmobile. "Because Batman told me to," he lied. Dick's breathing hitched, knowing that Red hood actually cared about him.

In the Batmobile, Red Hood drove like a madman trying to get Dick the help he needed oh so desperately. He noticed that his eyes were beginning to droop. "Hey buddy, stay awake for me alright?" he asked but it came out as a beg. 

"'s hard," Dick slurred back. Red Hood gulped trying to stay strong. 

"I-I know but just stay awake." His voice was violently trembling. He could barely focus on the road in front of him with the tears filling the bottoms of his eyes. "Dick please just stay awake." Dick turned to him, a small sad smile showing on his face. "Don't have to save me," he assured him. He trembled and leant against the passenger seat, black dots invading his vision. "I do, I'm a hero and you're my brother!" he shouted back, his grip tightening on the steering wheel.

 "You're my brother too," Dick breathed out. Red Hood looked to him and noticed he had closed his eyes. They were so close, he was in the cave now, if he could just hold on longer. "Dick don't you dare die on me!" Red Hood yelled. He snatched Dick out of the car, forcing Dick to open his heavy eyes. "It hurts," Dick muttered. He couldn't force it to be any louder. Red Hood tore off his mask, showing his teary eyes. "I know but please hold on." Dick nodded sleepily and moved into his chest. "Alfred! Alfred help me! Dick's been shot!" Jason screamed. The last thing Dick saw was an Alfred staring at him with horrified eyes.
