you are not the opinion of someone who doesn’t know you. you are the product of the lessons you’ve earned. you are wiser because you went through something terrible. and you are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking. i now believe that pain makes you stronger… and i believe that walking through a bunch of rainstorms gets you clean

what comes next?? (season 2)

the incident with the nuclear family leaves amy with bruises staining her back and twenty-one stitches in her hand. after spending a few days in henry ford hospital, amy comes back to the department to find that her partner had gone from working a case to missing. 

she tries to find him, but dick is good at covering his tracks and she isn’t getting any sleep with the memories hanging over her apartment. eventually, amy quits her job and, with the help of her sister mallory, packs up her apartment and moves back home.

or almost back home. this time she finds herself in a san francisco apartment with better security. it’s only about 25 minutes away from her parents and manages to get them to stop complaining about how all three daughters left them behind. 

her back is still healing when she starts with the san francisco police department and she spends her first few weeks behind a desk, but eventually she’s a homicide detective with no partner and rumors swirl about something happening to her last one. 

unless plotted out, amy was unable to contact dick after the attack and she is still looking for answers about what happened to her and why with no knowledge that she’s in the same city as dick

– He doesn’t look a thing like he had in his last known public appearance ‘bout ten years ago. The super-villain scene was getting a little crowded, a little too violent. Don’t even get started on this uptick in sidekicks. 

Not worth changing, just let the system fail. so he’d left. No more bothering with yelling at Superman. This was a long game now. Kr-9, ironically enough, had been successful. Kr-13 was still sitting in his tube festering, hopefully something good would come of that eventually.

He’d pulled in too much power, all that noise and sound. A few non-Metropolis-bred onlookers had decided to stick their noses into the windows of what was very obviously a mad scientist laboratory. Not the kind of mess one can just kill, not with social media leaving all sorts of impromptu journalists with their own digital safety nets.

There would be talk, so he let them take him in. Pay off the officer, or maybe ruin their career so that anything said just looks like desperation. Others were just pawns in this long, long game between himself and god, after all. But the officer hadn’t taken the bribe. Of all the honorable– 

Plopped down in an interrogation room, prints still running for at least another few hours. John Doe for now, he figures giving the detective as little information as possible is a good start.

Besides, he’s gone against Batman. What resources can this woman possibly have to hold him? He’ll slip away again in a few hours, during some transfer to holding cell. Not to mention the lawyers he still keeps on retainer would gut this place in seconds if he weren’t, well, feeling sporting.

Give the detective a chance, she knows not what she’s done. That she’s placed herself in a room with one of the most dangerous men alive.

“I do apologize for causing a disturbance, but I don’t see why arresting me was worth the taxpayers’ time and money.” A pause, a quick glance at the nametag. “Detective Rohrbach. Nice to meet you. May I leave?”

[fromoakland]

amy was willing to admit it, it didn’t really seem like this guy had done anything illegal. but the ever growing number of superheroes around the world meant that they also had to deal with more super villains than ever. the nine-one-one calls had described “some kind of mad scientist” and based on what amy had seen, she didn’t think the description was too far off.

“you freaked quite a few people out; they want answers for what you were doing in there and so does my boss.”

the man had already refused to tell her his name once—leaving them in the dark while they waited for his prints to be processed and run through the system—and amy didn’t think any of her other questions would be more successful, but they had time to kill.

“i can’t let you do that. at least not until you tell me who you are and what you were doing that in that lab of yours.”

Dick raises a brow behind his domino mask and tilts his head to the side. “Trust me, I don’t care much for what I do either.” It was easy for him to admit that. Being Robin wasn’t his favorite thing in the world, hell, it was his least favorite. 

He reached for the grapnel on his belt and turned his back away from his partner. “But if you do need anything, I’ll be there.” Robin fired a line and grappled up into the shadows.

she wants to ask why he does it if even he doesn’t like it, but before she can get the words out he swings off into the night sky.

amy can’t get robin out of her mind for the rest of the night. can’t figure out why he does things the way he does—though the city he comes from should probably serve as a clue—or why she didn’t arrest him when she got the chance.

she’s still thinking about it the next morning as she sits at her desk, waiting for grayson to show up but unsure is she should mention the previous night’s events.

“or you could, you know, take a break for once.”

amy’s known dick for years and has even come to terms with the idea that heroes and vigilantes are more necessary than she once thought, but the one thing that still bugged her was how many of them were just kids.

     The more he had talked to Rachel, the more things had gotten out of control, the more he had been convinced he’d never RETURN to his job in detroit and see any of his coworkers again. It would be a nightmare to explain Dick Grayson’s sudden disappearance especially if people noticed him driving around the country but it wouldn’t be the first time he had to come up with cover stories like this. As long as no one could actually PROVE anything he would be fine. Or so he had hoped.

     Amy was the last person he needed to see right now. If she figured out what was going on or even just told somebody where he had been he had to expect everything to fall apart under him in a matter of DAYS. He’d have to send Kori and the others away on their own to protect them from any publicity that might follow him if people heard about his little ‘ adventure ’. Right now he had to hope Amy would understand if he told her to keep this all a secret but then again why should she? She had no reason to TRUST him, she owed him nothing and she was certainly not happy to see him here. She had all reason to believe he was involved in something terrible, something she’d have to investigate as a detective and if he was honest it wasn’t even that far from the truth. God, this was not going well for him.

      “ I can’t tell you that, I’m sorry. ” At least he wasn’t lying. Not that he had much confidence in this being enough of an answer for his coworker but what was he supposed to say? She had probably spent a lot of time trying to track him down and even more time wondering what on earth had gotten him to just LEAVE like that. Maybe she had expected to find out he was dead or even that he had run off with a lot of money or something but no, whatever she probably expected it would have been easier than the truth. “ You need to go home, detective. Forget you ever ran into me. ” If she was even a tiny bit as stubborn as he guessed she was then she wouldn’t just turn around now. She’d demand answers, explanations and he couldn’t tell her anything. Worse, if the family caught up with them, she would be in danger too just for TALKING to him.

“not good enough, grayson.” 

maybe it would have been had things happened differently, but they hadn’t and as far as amy was concerned she deserved answers. she knew she probably wouldn’t like them. she knew there was a pretty decent chance dick was involved in something shady or illegal, but she was still holding out hope that somehow, some of this was a misunderstanding.

amy really didn’t know what was going on with dick, but the faith she had in him—at least the little bit that was still clinging on for dear life—meant that she didn’t think this was too bad. there was no way the man had hurt rachel, at least intentionally. and she still didn’t know why she been attacked that night, but at least she knew it wasn’t his idea.

“let’s start simple, like with the four psychos that broke into my apartment looking for you.”

it comes out more pointed and accusatory than amy would have liked. whoever they were, they had been hunting him and in a much more malicious way than amy was now.

“or maybe with the teenage girl that vanished same time as you did.”

rachel roth. she was just a kid, one that had just lost her mom; if dick had pulled her into something, had brought this mess—whatever it was—down on her head instead of the other way around, amy was gonna kill him. she could probably get away with it, most of the department had written dick off, said he was just another nut case from gotham and that they might as well cut their losses.

“I don’t exactly do things like normal people,” Robin replied. He hasn’t been normal since he lost his parents. Batman turned him into a weapon, something that could use that pain for something greater than himself. “You won’t be seeing me again, detective.”

amy knows she should arrest him—or at least try to—but she tucks her gun back into its holster. though the young detective isn’t a huge fan of the vigilantes and heroes of the world, she knows that they have their place. it’s just not in places like detroit.

“clearly.” she looks him up and down with a critical eye. “but just about all of this city does and they don’t need your kind of justice. so that better be true, robin.”

season 2

i need to make a bigger post about it, but after the incident with the nuclear family amy does 2 things. one, she does her best to track dick down and demand answers for everything that happened. and two, she quits her job and moves out of detroit. specifically, she goes to work for the san francisco police.
