After a while, Dick finally calmed down. He began to tremble and cry again. Batman, almost by instinct, grasped his current state of mind. So, he patted his back and said, "I know, it's terrifying. I was just breaking out in cold sweat, my shirt is drenched."
Dick's crying lessened a little. Batman continued, "Anyone who sees such a brutal scene for the first time would feel scared. You're not weak."
After crying for a while, Dick finally calmed down. He sniffed and wiped his tears, looking at Batman, he said, "...You should go check it out. It looks like he's going to kill someone."
Once sure Dick was alright, Batman let go of him and walked towards the terrifying dummy. Before he even got there, a small shadow emerged from behind the garbage can at the end of the alley and yelled at Batman, "You are Batman, right? You must be the Great Hero Batman!"
Batman was taken aback. The Great Hero Batman? He's never heard anyone call him that. For a long time, Batman's reputation was pretty bad. People just thought he was a freak in tights. Even if things were slightly better now, they were far from considering him a great hero.
When the light from bat-belt shined on that figure, he shielded his eyes, seemingly irritated by the light.
However, he soon rushed to the side of the dummy, helped another fallen man on the ground up, and said, "Oh my God, Uncle Virat, you were almost attacked by a horror dummy!"
Once the fallen man stood up, Batman realized he was a chubby middle-aged man, looking very friendly. He was wearing average-looking clothes, but he had a key to a luxury car in his hand. It seemed he was a driver.
Chubby Virat held his chest as if he still hadn't recovered from the shock. And when he saw the horrific dummy on the ground, he let out a loud scream, his eyes rolling back as he began to collapse.
"Batman! Please help Uncle Virat! He's my dad's driver, here to pick me up after school!"
It was not until then that Batman got a good look at the small shadow. It was a boy with black short hair and blue-green eyes. There was no look of terror on his face. On the contrary, he seemed somewhat excited.
He rushed straight up to Batman and then tried to grab his cape. Although Batman dodged, he still spoke rapidly:
"Oh my God! I can't believe it! I've run into my idol Batman! You have to give me your autograph, I've admired you for so long! I know you're a great hero, and this time you really saved me. I knew I chose the right person to admire!"
He said these words while looking at Batman with hopeful eyes. But then, he clenched his fists, stomped his foot, and said, "I knew it, I knew I would meet Batman! I knew it, he's as cool as I imagined!!"
Just as Batman was about to say something, the boy ran a little further again and said, "Oh, right, take me home. That way, I can treat you to supper."
"Look at me, I forgot to introduce myself! My dad is the famous Rudder Drake, I'm Little Drake, but you can also call me Tim Drake!"
