Summary
"You put me here!" He cried. The inky black veins crawling up his throat and jaw were unmistakable, "The one person who was obligated to prevent this! To care for me!"
"Stand down Dick" Bruce ordered.
Dick snarled in response, dark red, nearly black droplets clinging to his dark locks.When Dick was asked what his favorite color was as a child, his answer was 'all of them'.
As time went on, and reality set in, the magic behind all those colors seemed to fade and he found he preferred blue. It was always a good primary color, reliable, and well-liked. No one disliked the color blue....
Not anymore. Red is much more suitable.

Summary
Slade had noticed that his former apprentice had been going through some changes as of late. He's been ill, exhausted, and showing signs of fatigue. And when he was back in the tower, he did nothing but sleep, when he was usually causing mischief with his so-called "friends." Which was strange, even for him. In the beginning he merely surveyed the young hero. But when he noticed that someone else had taken a liking to watching the boy, he took action. What the mercenary did not expect to find was the mythical Court of Owls. And for some reason they wanted Robin. So he did some research of his own. Turns out the boy isn't as normal as he thought he was.
Or rather Slade kidnaps Robin, accommodates him through his Talon transformation, and now has to deal with the aftermath of his sudden impulse to the help the damn kid.

Summary
Talons are made to last. They aren’t alive, after all, which significantly reduces the chance of death by illness or injury and completely nullifies any age-related death. Even cold, a Talon’s greatest weakness, only causes them to hibernate. They may look and feel dead, but they’re plenty capable of reanimating once they thaw out. Truthfully, a Talon goes out one of two ways:
1. Complete and total destruction of the Talon’s body in the heat of battle
Or
2. Being neutralized by the Court when they determine the Talon is no longer worthy of the title
That’s how a Talon is supposed to die.
But that's not how this Talon dies. This Talon dies to become something else. Something more.
And for conspiring against nature, this Talon pays the price.

The Demon's head knows that if the court catches Dick Grayson they'll either kill him or worse, wipe him from existence. Ra's has always courted Dick to his side but boy always refused. But, now the boy has nowhere to turn.
