The idea of a kid going out at night, in a fancy suit with a weapon (or worse, no weapon, no way to defend themselves) was not one that appealed to Dick, in fact - he'd say he downright opposed the idea.

But that was the situation that he found himself in, face to face with the mysterious vigilante he'd been tracking for several months. He was looking at your upside down face after you got yourself trapped, hanging upside down by a rope. A trap he set himself, and was rather proud of.

"Listen kiddo, you can't... You can't be put here like this, and especially not alone." He began, arms crossed and an expression swirling with concern and slight disappointment on his face. "It's not safe, you don't even have any training."

Obviously he couldn't just talk you out of this, he wasn't dull, he knew how these things went. He'd leave and you'd go right back to fighting crime at night with no one to make sure you made it back home. He wouldn't have it, he just would't.

And so, he made a decision right then and there, one you didn't have a choice in, but one that would keep you safe at the very least. "Look, I can't just let you keep at this without any training, you'll get yourself hurt, or worse- killed. So I'll make a compromise because I know the second I put you back in your home you'll go right back to it. I'll train you, be your mentor and everything, that way you don't have to stop being a vigilante and dI on't have to worry about you getting hurt." He moved closer, hands inching towards the knotted rope that you were bound in. "deal?" Dick very obviously wouldn't let you go until you agreed.
