Falling into Gotham (Dick Grayson Fan Fiction)

Chapter 14

We caught up to those two pretty quickly. They got distracted by a darts game. "Ugh, I wish Roy was here." Garfield grumbled. "We would've won for sure with him."

"I can do this, I'm gonna win that bear." Jaime said. He glanced at Zahra who was standing next to me and looking around the fairgrounds not even paying attention to those two.

Poor kid. She is wholly uninterested in him. He and Garfield paid for another game and started throwing darts at the balloons again. He was actually doing pretty good, but I had a feeling his scarab was whispering in his ear and helping him win.

"Pres." Zahra poked my side. "Let's go to the gift shop. I wanna look at cute headbands."

"Okay. One sec let me grab my wallet." I walked over to Dick who was brooding next to Donna and grabbed his hand. "Come with me."

He followed without question and the three of us walked to the gift shop to look around. The gift shop was a small, charming building filled with all sorts of fair-themed merchandise. Brightly colored headbands, novelty hats, and plush toys lined the walls and shelves. Zahra immediately gravitated towards a rack of headbands adorned with animal ears and glittery designs.

"Hmm." She pondered over the many different headband options. "Should I do cat ears or bunny ears?"

"Why don't you do the mascot of your sorority?" Dick asked, speaking up for the first time the whole trip.

"We're frogs." I answered.

"And Ivy Leaves and Pearls." Zahra added.

"Huh." He said. "Weird."

"We're frogs because we can grow leaps and bounds." I explained. "The Ivy Leaf signifies strong and lasting friendship. The leaf has the ability to stay attached to a rocky surface in even the worst conditions.So the Alpha Kappa Alpha exude strength and endurance like the green ivy leaf."

"Oh, that's pretty cool." Dick says.

Zahra decided on the cat ear headband in the end. I chose one with hearts and we both forced Dick to wear one with teddy bear ears. He grumbled while he paid for it but still wore it nonetheless. He even kept it on as Karen and Garfield erupted in laughter at the sight of him.

"It's not that funny." he grumbled.

"You're whipped!" Garfield pointed and doubled over clenching his stomach as he laughed. Donna whacked him on the back of his head.

"You dated a terrorist who lied about her identity and was romantically involved with your leader's sworn enemy. Shut up." He quieted down imminently. I had to bite my lip to hold back my smile.

We got on a bunch of the major rides. Bumper cars, Tilt-a-whirl, Drop Tower, that one ride where it spins really fast and you get plastered against the wall. It was fun. Jaime won Zahra about 10 different stuffed animals. He just kept going up to booths and handing her his prizes. She was too nice to say no to any of them.

At the end of the night, we all decided to head towards the Ferris wheel. The line was long, but it's a Ferris wheel—worth the wait. Zahra and I hung near the back of the group, quietly chatting, when I felt something brush against my butt.

I froze. There's no way someone just tried to touch my butt, right? I turned around to look who was behind me and it was just some frat bro types. They weren't looking at me so I figured it must've been an accident. I turned back around but then it happened again.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me." I grumbled.

Zahra cocked her head in confusion, "What happened Ms.Pres?"
