Dick was silent as Wally and Artemis walked sa pamamagitan ng him. She glanced at him. "Dick, are you..?" He nodded to her. "I'm fine, Artemis." He ran ahead. "I guess he just wants to see his parents again." she whispered. Wally flinched. "Artie, his parents aren't missing." She cocked her head. "They're dead." Artemis stopped in her tracks. "Zucco murdered them?" Wally nodded. She bolted past him and up to Dick. He was surprised when she hugged him. "Art?" he asked in surprise. Wally smiled at his friend's confusion. He jogged up to them and pointed. "We got some druggies up ahead." he pointed out. Artemis snapped an palaso into her bow and held onto the string. "Let's go." she sinabi angrily. Dick glanced at Wally. He shrugged.
"Alright look. I'm not gonna drop my price past 2G's. You're gonna have to go find another deal buddy if you can't pay." says a man in a black suit. Dick clenched his fist. Artemis glanced at him, and tightened her grip on her bow. "Zucco." Wally snapped. The man turned. "Oh we got some teenagers. Sorry young un's I don't sell to minors." Artemis jutted out her jaw and said, "Why not? You're already doing something illegal." Tony narrowed his eyes. "I like you. You've got, what do the youngsters call it today? Spunk? Yeah, spunk." he sinabi to Artemis. She rolled her eyes. Dick stepped forward. "Do you know who I am?" he asked. "No, should I?" Dick shot a look at his client, who dropped his bundle and bolted. "You killed my parents."
Artemis brings the bow to her eyeline. Zucco laughed. "Kid, do you have any idea how many people lives I've ended?" Wally put his hand on Artemis's shoulder. "Don't be impulsive." he murmured. Dick advanced on him. "What was your business with the Graysons?" he yelled. Zucco rolled his eyes. "Trying to end my drug deals. So I ended them. Permenately." Dick lunged forward, but Zucco already had a weapon in hand. "He has a knife!" Artemis screamed. "Dick!" Wally shouted, racing forward. Dick was so angry, he couldn't even turn. Zucco stabbed him.
Artemis launched an palaso at Zucco, getting him in the arm. He dropped his kutsilyo and stared running. "Kid, go!" Artemis snapped, running over to Dick. She ripped her glab off and put it on the wound. "Dick," she whispered, looking at him. "Dick, can you hear me?" He shifted his sad blue gaze over to him. He was the only one who didn't wear his costume. "Y-yeah, Artemis." She hung her head. "You'll be okay. Just breath slowly and don't try to move." He nodded slowly. Wally came speeding back. "Call the League." Artemis told him gently. He nodded and pressed his com. "Kid Flash to Justice League....I need help....Nightwing is wounded.....We are in an alley on the corner of Mapleberry and Vento.....Tony Zucco.....Hurry." Artemis held Dick's hand, struggling to understand why his gaze never left her. Artemis looked at Wally. "I hope he's okay..." she whispered, looking back at Dick. His eyes had closed and he was breathing slowly. "Wally, Artemis. What happened?" They looked to see a man in the alley. Batman. "Nevermind, explain later. Let's get him to the Med-Bay." Artemis stood up as Batman picked up Dick. She glared down the alley to where Zucco had fled. He's dead, if it's the last thing I do, she thought.
