Hello! It has been a while since the last update. School has started for me, so that's why I haven't updated recently. I still hope that you enjoy this chapter.

Dick's POV

I grumble as Ra's tries to kick me in the gut. We out number him four to one, yet he still had the upper hand. Jason lets out a yell as he charges towards Ra's. He slashes at his neck with his dagger. Ra's steps back calmly and aims a kick towards his legs. Jason winces as he staggers backwards. Tim charges forward swinging his bow staff at Ra's chest. Ra's grabs the bow staff and pulls it forward. Tim's eyes widen as he flies forward. Ra's punches Tim in the face and he flies back. Tim spits some blood onto the floor and rubs his jaw. Bruce glances at each of us before aiming a kick towards Ra's face. Ra's steps back and swings his sword at Bruce's chest. Bruce grabs the sword with his gloves hands and makes a motion to break the sword. Ra's scoffs and chucks the other piece of the sword to the side. Ra's and Bruce circle one another for a few minutes, before starting a fist fight. The two continue to punch and kick for a while. Jason rolls his eyes, "How long is this going to go on for?"

"Until we make Ra's give back Bruce's memories," Tim replies.

Jason shakes his head, "I hope you know that we aren't having much luck. Bruce is the only one that seems like much of a match for Ra's."

"Well, we should stop sitting around here doing nothing," I say standing back up and going to help Bruce. The two of us fire blows at Ra's, who continues to counter our attacks. Jason and Tim look at one another before joining in. We continue to attack Ra's and he continues to fight us. It isn't until a few minutes later that I finally land a blow on him. He stumbles backwards as my escrima sticks make contact with his head. Ra's shakes his head before charging at us again. He kicks me in the chest and I fall back. I groan in pain as the wind is knocked out of me. I try to lift myself up, so I can get back into the fight, but instead I feel myself being dragged. Someone has their hands on my shoulders and is dragging me down the hallway. When I'm finally released, I quickly stand back up. I turn around to face the person that was dragging me. I gape when I see Talia. I reach for my escrima sticks and get in a fighting position, "What do you want?"

"I didn't drag you out here to fight you, Richard," Talia states, "Here. Take this." Talia holds her hand out and I frown. In her hand is a medium sized vile filled with a green liquid. "What is this?" I ask, not letting my guard down.

"Will you relax, Richard? I'm not going to hurt you. This vile isn't going to explode if you take it, either," Talia says, "Lower your escrima sticks. I'm not going to attack you." I hesitate for a minute, before placing my escrima sticks back in their holders. "Fine. What do you want? And you haven't answered my other question. What is that?" I say.

"I want to help you out a little. This will bring back my beloved's memories," Talia states.

I frown, "Why should I trust you? Your father is the reason that Bruce can't remember in the first place. That liquid could actually just kill him."

"You have no reason to trust me. You should know, though, that I played no part in removing my beloved's memories. If I had known my father was planning this, I would have done anything in my power to prevent it. Why would I want to kill my beloved?" Talia replies.

"I-I guess so. Wait, does Ra's know that there is a cure to the memory wipe?" I ask.

Talia scoffs, "No. I did this behind his back, just in case. I created it after my father told me what he did to my beloved. I wasn't going to use it, unless I had too. When I saw my beloved and talked to him, I knew that I had to give him this. He isn't my beloved. With this, he will be."

"How do you know it works?" I question her taking the vile from her hand, "You did test it out, right."

Talia rolls her eyes, "Who do you think I am, Richard? Of course, I tested it out. It works. It does exactly what it is intended to do. Let Bruce drink the whole vile and his memories shall be restored."

I nod my head, "I can't just let him drink it in front of your father, though. Ra's would probably destroy it before Bruce even has a chance to drink a drop."

"I will deal with my father," Talia replies.

"Really? How?" I ask confused.

Talia shakes her head, "Focus on getting Bruce and your brothers away. I will distract my father. It shouldn't matter how I do it."

I grip the vile in my hand and give her a thankful smile, "Thank you, Talia."

Talia takes out her sword, "Don't thank me. I'm not doing this for your sake. I just want my beloved returned." I nod my head at her words. She tightens her grip on her sword before running down the hallway. I turn around and make my way back to where the group was before. When I return, the scene hasn't changed much. My brothers and Bruce are still fighting with all that is in them. Ra's continues to counter their attacks, he does have a few bruises and cuts here and there. I look around, "C'mon Talia. Need that distraction." Suddenly, an alarm begins to sound. The men gathered around the room all unsheathe their swords, "Intruder. Someone is attacking the compound." The men all rush off in separate directions. Some rush over to Ra's, "Master. We must go. Someone more dangerous than these men could be attacking."

Ra's grumbles, "Move! I am in the middle of a fight. You don't interfere with my fights!"

"Master! Please! It is for your own protection!" an assassin exclaims. Ra's is distracted, for the time being. I better act fast. I rush over to my brothers and Bruce, "C'mon, let's get out of here."

"But, what about the cure?" Jason asks, "We don't have it!"

"I said that I would be staying if we are unable to find a way to restore my memories," Bruce states.

Tim shakes his head, "We can't leave Dick. We haven't gotten what we came for."

"There's no time to explain. Just trust me. We have to go before Ra's notices us making our exit," I say already making my way out of the compound. Tim sighs before following me. Bruce scowls before running in the same direction. Jason hesitates for a minute before following the rest of us. We all run back through the compound the same way we got in. The only difference is that there isn't any assassins chasing after us. Eventually. we make our way to the Batwing. We all clamber in and I start the engine. I slowly lift us off the ground and turn so that we are pointed in the direction of home. As we fly away and leave the compound behind us, I activate the autopilot. I stand from the pilot's seat and walk over to Bruce, "Drink this."

Bruce takes it and opens the vile, "What is this?"

"Something that will bring back your memories," I say. Bruce nods his head before tilting the vile back and letting it slide down his throat. "Wait, how did you get that?" Tim asks.

"I'd like to know the same thing," Jason states.

I nod, "Give me a minute to explain. Talia gave it to me. She said that she had it created after finding out that her father wiped Bruce's memory."

"Talia! You can't trust her! She's Ra's daughter! That could've been poison!" Jason exclaims.

"It's not. Why would Talia poison Bruce? She loves him, in some weird way, but she does. She would never want to kill him," I explain.

Tim frowns, "How can you be so sure?"

"I'm not. But, what other choice do we have? That liquid could bring back our dad's memories. We came here to find a way to restore his mind. I found this. It might work. It might bring back everything," I state. Tim and Jason still look a bit skeptical. Bruce on the other hand is massaging his head. "Well, the old man hasn't collapsed. Yet. But, it could be a slow acting poison," Jason says crossing his arms. We all look at Bruce, who is still holding his head, with concern. We wait for something to happen. Whether it be he dies on the spot or remembers everything. The Batwing remains completely silent as we wait to see the effects of the liquid. "Boys," Bruce says as he removes his hands from his head and slowly stands. We all look at him, not knowing what to expect.

And cliffhanger! Well, not really, I think you can all guess what is going to happen. But who knows, you're just going to have to wait for the next chapter. Thank you so much for reading!
