Critical Acclaim

Y/n's pov

I'm woken up by a knock on my door and sit up in bed.

Alfred: Master Y/n, breakfest is being served!

I get up and get dressed. I then head down to the dining room and see that the others are already there. I look at the food and see pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I get a plate of food and sit in my spot at the table.

Bruce: How did you sleep, Y/n?

Bruce looks at me and I can see he has a bit of suspicion in his eyes. I decide to play it cool.

Y/n: I slept pretty good.

Damian: Oh, so he does speak?

Stephanie: Damian, don't be rude.

Dick: So did anyone else hear about that store robbery in Gotham last night?

I shake my head and finish eating. I start to head up to my room when Bruce shouts...

Bruce: Y/n, be down at 4 so we can get you ready for tonight.

I nod and continue walking to my room. I enter and go by my window again. I stand by what I said in the car. This place looks like a prison. And Gotham's constant gloom and fog only adds to it. I hear a knock on my door way and see Dick with a basketball.

Dick: You play?

Y/n: Used to.

Dick: You up for a game? Me and you against Jason and Tim?

Y/n: Sure. Let me change really quick.

I change into a t shirt and shorts and follow Dick to the Gym. Dick passes me the ball.

Dick: Check it up.

I check it with Tim amd start dribbling. I pass it to Dick who is on the wing. I run towards the paint. Dick passes it and I get the layup for two.

Dick: Nice, Y/n!

Tim checks it up with me and quickly drives to the paint. He goes for the layup but I block him. Dick gets the rebound and takes it past the three point line. I get open and Dick passes it to me. I act like I'm going to drive but pass it to Dick at the last second and he sinks the three. We play for a little while more and get the score tied up.

Tim: Last point wins!

Dick checks it and starts dribbling. I drive in but bail to throw Tim and Jason off. This gives Dick the chance to get the shot.

Dick: Nice!

We all say good game and walk back to wherever we want to go. I go to my room to shower and then change into my tux for the party Bruce is throwing. I walk down and find Bruce.

Bruce: Right on time.

I look and see no one else is around.

Bruce: Unlike some people.

We wait a bit longer until the others show up. They all finally showed up in tuxes and dresses.

Bruce: I find it strange how the person who lived in this house one day has better punctuality than all of you.

They all nod and we head down to the room where the party is. I look around in awe and confusion.

Stephanie: What's wrong?

Y/n: Uh nothing.

Cassandra: Not the kind of party you're use to?

Y/n: Not at all. Usually there's cheaper booze and less pleasent smells.

Jason: What were you doing at a drinking party?

Y/n: One of my foster families were big on partying.

Jason: I see.

Bruce: Well, go mingle.

Y/n: I don't know wealthy people talk.

Bruce: Most of them don't either.

I look over and see Damian staring at someone and Dick picking his teeth.

Bruce: Stick with me.

We walk around he introduces me to the commsioner of the GCPD, I also meet one of candidates for Mayor, Harvey Dent.

???: Ah Mr. Wayne.

We look and see crime boss Carmine Falcone.

Carmine: I've been wanting to talk to you.

He looks at me.

Carmine: Who's the squirt? New charity project?

Bruce: His name is Y/n.

Carmine: Y/n, huh? Y/n why don't you be a good kid and get me a drink.

Bruce steps in front of me.

Bruce: I don't think he'll be getting you anything.

Carmine looks around Bruce.

Carmine: Just remember kid; there's always a bigger fish. Bruce just happens to be bigger than me.

Bruce glares at Falcone.

Carmine: I know when I'm not wanted. See ya around, Bruce.

He leaves the mansion.

Bruce: Sorry you had to deal with that. Some people in this city just have no respect for anyone.

Y/n: I've met worse.

Bruce: How worse?

Y/n: Black Mask.

Bruce: How did you-

Y/n: Foster family three.

Bruce: What number are we?

Y/n: Six.

Bruce: Oh.

The party keeps going and I meet many buisness partners for the Wayne foundation. For a kid who has never even been near a buisness person, I kept up with conversation very good. Cassandra walks up to me.

Cassandra: So how is your first Wayne party going?

Y/n: Not bad, actually.

Cassandra: You get along faster then me then. I hated my first.

Y/n: Why?

Cassandra: A lot of snobby people.

Y/n: Then again, there a worse people.

She seems to get lost in thought.

Cassandra: Yeah... there are.

She walks away and Stephanie walks over to me.

Y/n: Did I say something wrong?

Stephanie: No. She just... also had a very bad family before Bruce.

Y/n: Oh.

The party ends soon after and I head up to my room. I get into some sleepwear. I get into my bed but stay awake for a while longer. What happened in Cassandra's past?

Cassandra's pov

*flashback*

I'm in training to become the Leauge of Assassin's best weapon. I'm training against multiple Assassins and winning. One of them gets the upperhand and beats me.

*flashback ends*

I snap to in my room. I then get into bed and go to sleep.
