"My poor city",Dick said as he peered down at the Bludhaven skyline from atop a tall and eroding building. It was his apartment building and he could hear the sounds of alarms and sirens even from the height and distance he now stood. He rubbed his temples and shuffled back down the stairs.
He had been in recovery lately and was only now able to get around without the use of crutches or a cane of some kind. He reatreated back into his apartment and carefully entered the quite studio. He was going to put on his suit tonight for the first time in a while.
His eyes glanced from side to side and his ears perked suddenly. Someone was in his apartment. It wasn't a feeling of dread that overtook him, and he assumed that this was not someone who wished to do him harm. His hand quickly found the light switch.
"Who's here?"

"Calm down, Grayson. Just me." Rick said, staring blankly at the ceiling. His hood was down and his hair was disheveled. His face had the beginnings of a beard started if he didn't shave soon. He held a bottle of water in his left hand, taking a sip every so often.
"This is a screwy city you got here, Dick. I want in. If only for a couple of weeks. I need something to..." He paused searching for how best to describe it. "Something to keep me occupied. I'm getting bored, need to fight some crime, and soon. Else I'll be dead bored before the job can kill me."

"Calm down?", Dick said as he raised a brow and looked down at the man whom had somehow entered his apartment. "Now, it it really like me to get hot-headed about things?", he said with a hint of sarcasm as he stepped closer to Rick.
"You don't look so good Tyler", Dick commented as he stopped in his tracks. "But I guess you're not here for a beauty consultation", he added quickly. He didn't want to get personal with the man.
"Screwy as can be", he acknowledged. "More so because of my recent..accident", he leaned back and quickly found himself in a seat across from Rick. "Bored? I thought you were in cahoots with the new League?", he paused for a few moments and then mused. "How many seconds passed before Batman decided to make it all about himself?"

"Sorry, I guess that was always more Jason's game, eh?" He said, amused by the thought of that Robin who had seemingly defied death, after the body had been buried. That creeped Rick out a little bit. Usually, dead things stay dead, he'd learned that lesson already.
"No, I'm not." He said, annoyed that people kept bringing up his appearance, so he hadn't shaved in a week or two, and he didn't fix his hair all pretty, he shouldn't have to. Rick left the comment about Dick's "accident" alone, probably something personal he should leave alone.
"Yeah, the league really only gets together for big problems, we still have freedom as for most of our time. We don't have the Manhunter coordinating things I guess. With those X-men and my old JSA mates still mostly in NYC, I'm not needed there anymore." Rick laughed when Grayson brought up Bats. "Try none, it was the first thing he made clear when he entered the room."

While Batgirl was out patrolling she happened to swing (literally) by Dick's apartment. She saw him inside talking to someone, landed on his balcony and knocked on his window.
As she did this she remarked "You're looking better than I've seen you in quite a while. Going out on patrol tonight? Want me to come along as well? Just as backup?"[/color] She then quietly said "City's been pretty quiet since you've been gone. Though I for one am glad to have you back.[/color]
