Reborn as Dick Grayson But Different

Chapter 3: A Stylish Apperance

Bruce/Batman Pov:

"It's been 2 years since Dick disappeared."

I am currently in the batcave running an algorithm on the batcomputer to try to find Dick, but again, it came back as a failure.

My line of thought is broken by Barbara coming carrying our 1-year-old daughter Helena.

"Anything ?." Barbara asks, already knowing the answer.

"No...another failure." I say and close my eyes. The guilt has been ripping both of us apart.
The only good thing that came out of it was Helena.

When we had to tell the others, things went as we expected, with a lot of shouting and screaming.
When we told Commissar Gordon, he just looked at Barbara and uttered a phrase that made Barbara instantly cry.

"You are a disappointment, Barbara."

After that, Barbara was kicked out of the Gordon House and came to live at the mansion, and it didn't take long for the news to arrive at The Press.

"It appears that Bilionare Bruce Wayne just got himself into a delicate situation." Vicky Vale, the reporter of The Gotham Gazette

"Our source says that the Bilionare had an affair with the 22-year-old law student Barbara Gordon, daughter of the commissar James Gordon from Gotham Pd. What is more shocking is that Barbara was in a serious relationship with Richard Grayson, adopted son of Bruce Wayne." Vicky says

"Dick, as he liked being called, was the head of relations from Wayne Enterprise with the Gotham Police Department; he was responsible for giving more equipment and training to our police force; he is, as many of our views clearly remember, the last surviving member of The Flying Graysons."

"A circus company famous for its stunts that were brutally murdered by themobster Tony Zucco
Richard was the only survivor.

Then he was adopted by the billionaire and studied and majored in criminology at the University of Gotham." Vicky finalizies

"According to the company's spokesperson, "Dick took a sabbatical to reevaluate his future, and that was all the company had to say, but our sources said that the reason he left Gotham was because Barbara is pregnant with Bruce Wayne's child." Vicky says

"This is one of the biggest scandals that the billionaire has been facing; this is Vicky Vale from the Gotham Gazette." Vicky ends her report

After this, things just went downhill. Barbara started to be persecuted by the media and had to drop out of university.

It started to affect both our civilian and hero identities; the League had started to leave us out of missions and decisions.

We have been living this never-ending nightmare, and the only good thing was Helena.

Alfred helps, but he becomes more cold towards us; he never stays with us more than necessary. I know that he blames us for all this.

I can't say that I blame him; on the plus side, he loves Helena and is always looking after and taking care of her.

God, what have I done?

I destroyed my family; I drove my son away from me, and I may never see him again.

I am broken from my depressed thoughts by a red alert coming from the batcomputer.
