If this is what being sixteen was going to be like, then he wanted to skip the whole year. ", "Selina, you know I can't let you go. Casual...just family--", "--Uh, Bruce," Dick interrupted. Apparently, Barbara discovered some of the same information that Dick uncovered. That's all.". Lucius and Mattie were practically family, and Dick cared for Tommy like a kid brother.

"You're trusting me to guard Gotham City by myself this weekend," Dick reminded his guardian. The warning klaxons woke him up! Maxie and his men immediately broke into chaotic commotion, their frenzied shouts and randomly wild firing inside the closed quarters reminiscent of the tigers' own savage behavior of just a few minutes before. Even Commissioner Gordon thanked him for a job well done. Frank Howard Freshman. Because when I caught him a couple of days later at the old abandoned Channel Two twin broadcast towers...or rather, when he let me catch him, he was playing the videotape on what seemed to be hundreds of monitors.".
