Chapter 1: A New Brother
A/N: I don’t own Batman
Bruce wayne and his four sons were going to the circus for an evening out. They were going to see the most famous trapeze act, a family that is called, The Flying Graysons. John and Mary Grayson were getting ready when their four year old son came in from playing outside. Their son’s name is Richard Grayson, but he prefers his nickname, Dick or Little Bird. John picks up his son and asked, “ Where have you been Little Bird?” Dick replied,” I have been playing with Zika until it was time for her handler to get her ready for the performance, Tati.” Mary went and took Dick out of John’s arms and helped her little bird into his costume that she made for tonight in honor of his first performance. Dick climbed up and onto the trapeze platform with his mother right behind him while his father was checking the ringing of the trapeze bar. Little did the family know that the rope for the bar was cut into and was slowly starting to snap throughout the performance. As his parents were doing the grand final was when Dick saw the rope snap and his parents fell to their deaths. Bruce and his four sons was leaving the circus until they were stopped by Haley who was holding Dick close. Haley asked,” Could you take care of Richard, Mr. Wayne?” Bruce looked toward Terry, Damian, Jason, and Tim and saw that they were nodding their heads. Bruce replied,” Of course Haley, I would be happy to take care of Richard.” Haley smiled and said to Dick,” You will be okay now, Dickie.” Dick nodded his head and hugged Haley goodbye before he was transferred to Bruce’s arms. Haley said,” This is his belongings and please take good care of him.” Terry grabbed the suitcase as Bruce was saying,” Of course Haley and thank you for trusting Dick to me.” Dick was still crying while Bruce moved him closer as a way to get comfortable. He laid his head down on Bruce’s shoulder as his eyes were slowly closing. Bruce took the boys and Dick back to the car and had them sitting to where Dick was laying his head on Tim’s shoulder while Terry put the suitcase into the trunk when Mr. Haley ran up and said,” I forgot to pack this.” Bruce took the stuffed elephant and said,” Thank you,” before putting it into Dick’s arms. Dick clutched Peanut closer to his body as he sigh quietly. Once everyone was in the car was when Terry called Alfred and asked,” Could you get a room prepared?” Alfred replied,” Of course Master Terry,” and went to go get one of the guest rooms prepared for the visitor. Bruce pulled the car into the garage and said quietly,” Boys, go and get ready for bed.” The boys nodded and got out of the car. Jason and Damian went straight to their rooms and Tim followed after Bruce had gotten Dick out of the car. Terry helped Bruce by carrying Dick’s suitcase into the house. Alfred took the suitcase from Terry and Terry went to bed. Alfred asked,” who is the young master, Master Bruce?” Bruce replied,” His name is Richard Grayson, but prefers to be called Dick and he just saw his parents fall to their death. Dick stirred a little before continuing to sleep peacefully and he mumbled something in Romain. Bruce and Alfred went up the stairs and walked toward the room that Dick would be staying in. Bruce lays Dick down and tuck the blankets in around him, but he didn’t want to leave in case Dick has a nightmare. Bruce slept in the recliner chair that was pulled up to Dick’s bedside in order to be near Dick. The next morning, Dick woke up in a strange room and he clutched Peanut close as he started to get scare.
