Nine years ago his mother and father died. Three years ago his second father died. Dick looked at the picture by the side of his bed and smiled. The picture was of him and his three brothers three years ago he was now eighteen. Dick grabbed his keys of the side of his bed and started to head down stairs.
"Birdy" Jason yelled giving him a hug "where are you going"
Dick shuffled his feet thinking of a lie and smiled "Wally wants me to go over to his house to hang out"
"I swear that gut can't leave you alone" Jason said
Dick looked at Jason and smiled. He kind of felt bad for lying to Jason and using Wally as an excuse yet again but he was running out of excuses. Just then Tim walks down the stairs yawning
"its only six am and its summer what are you guys doing up already" Tim said yawning again
Jason grabbed the cup of coffee off the table that was beside him "I've always been an early person"
"That's true" Tim said "What about you he said looking towards Dick
"I..ah oh ya I'm going to Wally's" Dick said remembering the lie he just told Jason.
Tim looked at his for a second "That guy needs a girlfriend you guys hang out way to much"
Jason laughed spitting out his coffee in the process "I agree with you there"
Dick shook his head "well im.." he was about to say.
Dick was about to leave when he heard Damian walk down "oh come on"
"What did I do" Damian said
"Nothing" Dick growled
Jason sat his coffee down and sat down on the chair "Birdy is trying to get out of here something about going to Wally's"
"I see" Damian said sitting by Jason
Dick sighed looked at the roof "Now that everyone knows were I'm going can I leave"
Tim laughed "go on"
Dick faked a laugh and looked at all his brothers "Thanks guys see you later"
Dick smiled , grabbed his coat and ran out the door
Dick parked his car and looked at the building in front of him. Man he didn't want to go in today was the day they told him the results of his test. Dick closed his eyes and took a deep breath and read the sign Gotham hospital it read. Dick got out of the car and pressed the lock button and entered the hospital.
"Richard Grayson" Dick said
The lady at the counter put his name in the computer and smiled "Good morning Mr. Grayson go have a seat over there and the doctor will get you soon.
Dick nodded and sat down and grabbed his phone and texted Wally for ten minutes until the nurse came and got him. She led him to a room and took his blood pressure and asked him if he had any more symptoms and then left. Then five minutes later Leslie entered
"Richard" She said smiling
"Leslie what are you doing here I thought you worked in a different department where is Tom "Dick said confused
"Ah Tom had some urgent business to attend to and asked me to take over" Leslie explained looking at the charts and gasped "Dick you"
Dick frowned "what is it"
Leslie put down the papers and grabbed Dicks hand "im so sorry Dick"
"Tell me what it says "dick commanded
"Dick your test were positive" Leslie said
Dick got up and turned toward the window "Meaning" he asked trying to hide the fear that was in his voise
"I'm sorry Dick you have cancer"
