Bullies

Author's Note: After reading some bullying fics as well as one shots where socialites felt the urge to gossip about Dick and Bruce in regards to their relationship (both are pet peeves of mine, as action is never taken to stop either from happening) over the years, I felt that a one shot was needed to show what would really happen if a bunch of bullies at a school for the elite were to attack the adoptive son of the richest man in the city. In other words, dumb people getting what they deserve.

It was supposed to be easy. Confront some nerd for not doing their homework like they were "assigned" to, pummel him until compliance, and move on to the next person.

It started out so well too...

"Grayson!"

Grayson looked up from his locker and sighed. Richie smiled to himself, apparently someone told him the status quo around here sooner than expected.

"What is it, Beldore?"

Richie threw his fist at Grayson...who ducked just moments before he was hit. His hand collided with metal and Richie howled in pain.

"Shit!"

"Language!" Grayson had the nerve to wag his finger at him, the prick!

Good thing Richie brought back up with him. Zach and Evan were always Plan B.

Richie sneered in spite of his now bleeding hand. "We noticed you weren't doing your part in the community-"

"You mean about getting a job? Dude, I haven't gotten to college yet." Grayson rolled his eyes.

"In this community-" Richie started calmly.

"No. This is a school." Grayson emphasized the word. "And why don't you quit acting like some tough guy, huh? Not gonna get you brownie points in the future."

"You're supposed to do our homework! Next week's algebra for instance, nerd." Zach snarled, finally getting the message across.

"Um...no I'm not." Grayson frowned. "Even if I did, do you really think the teacher's going to believe that you did the work?"

Evan lunged forward and grabbed Grayson by the collar. Richie felt the universe being restored to its natural order. He grabbed Grayson's chin. "Listen, circus freak. You do the work or we'll crush you. Simple and clear."

Grayson actually glared at them, like it was supposed to be intimidating. Too bad it was actually making Richie piss himself a little. "You'll beat me up anyways for fun."

"Pretend it's Wayne doing it to you, then. It'll make you feel like you never left him at all."

A fist flew out and hit Richie in the face. A moment later, he heard the sound of something snapping, Evan screaming bloody murder. When Richie looked up, Grayson's expression was darker. Zach took a few steps back.

"Now...which idiot wants to lose a limb next?"

Richie charged at Grayson...

"Your son's in the principal's office."

Six words. Six words was all it took for Mister Abele Bedore's day to be ruined.

Now most parents would be understandably vexed at being summoned to the headmaster's office in the middle of the day regarding their kid's behavior. However, Abele's kid was attending Gotham Academy, one of the few schools that not only gave a real education, but also required a healthy flow of cash to keep the administrators happy. The learning establishment that had taught his grandfather's grandfather was now going down in memory as the place where his son did the most idiotic thing in his life.
