The life of Batsis

Circus Tragedie. 9

When you've got a new family, any kind of security you can have is great.
Matthew Goode

Alexis's Pov.

Dad was driving while I was looking out in the scenery passing by and thinking about how much had changed this last year. I mean I was in a car crash, my biological father found me, I moved in with him and later on found out that he was the Batman, I went to a new school and got some awesome friends. I honestly don't know what else I could want, I was happy.
When we finally arrived at the circus I looked around and saw how many people was there. Dad stepped out of the car and looked at me and smiled. We began walking around looking at the different animals and dad even bought me some candy floss.

"Excuse me Mister Wayne, would you mind answering some questions?"

Asked a guy who had a camera around his neck as he stood with a little block of paper and a pen, he was clearly a reporter. Dad looked at me as if he was asking if it was ok, I just nodded.

"Sure"

My dad said making the guy smiled brightly as he introduced himself and began asking the interview, he asked the standard questions that a reporter would normally ask. After awhile it got little boring and since he was just asking my dad questions, I just decided to leave. But all of a sudden I heard some shouting, I decided to see what was going on and somehow I found my way to the back of the main circus tent. But before I could investigate further someone bumped into me, the so called person was just a child, a few years younger than myself(AN: Richard/Dick is 9 years old and Alexis is 12 years old), he looked a lot like dad since he also had blue eyes and obsidian black hair. But before I could say or do anything I suddenly felt like I was getting dizzy and everything just went black. That when a few images began flashing in front of my eyes, since they were too quick I didn't really see any of them clearly. All of a sudden an image stopped right in front of me and it just started like it was a video. It was the child I had just bumped into he was sitting in his costume on top of some kind of platform and he was screaming with tears running down his cheeks. Even Tho he was screaming, for some reason i couldn't hear him, i tried to reach out to him but before i could touch his shoulder he disappeared and in the blink of an eye i was back to reality, like nothing happened at all.
he gave out a grunt when he fell to the ground, luckily he only made me lose a little balance and I stumble a little before standing straight up again. I shook my head and looked at him and thought about what the hell just happened, but i decided to push it aside for now and maybe ask my dad about it later.

"Are you ok?"

I asked as I held out a hand to help him up again, I was a little worried that he might had hurt himself when he fell. He looked up at me but shielded his eyes since the sun was directly besides my head.

"Yeah, I'm sorry I should have looked where I was going"

He said as he smiled and took my hand. As I helped him up I saw the costume he was wearing it was the same costume he was wearing in my "vision" and it looked exactly like the costumes the flying Graysons had on, on the posters.

"Well it's good to know your ok, we wouldn't want to lose one of the Flying Graysons now would we"

I said with a chuckle. He looked surprised but quickly realized that he was wearing his costume. He let out a small laugh and stuck his hand out and said

"I'm Richard but just call me Dick"

I smiled and was about to introduce myself when all of a sudden someone called out after Dick.

"It was nice meeting you miss but I have to go, and sorry again for bumping into you"

He said as he ran off towards the person who shouted after him. I turned around and started to make my way back to dad, but i couldn't stop thinking about that . I finally spotted dad as he was looking around, probably looking for me.

"Dad!"

I yelled out to get his attention, looks like it worked since he looked at me and quickly walked over to me and said in a very stern and angry voice.

"Alex you can't just run of like that, you scared me half to death"

"Sorry dad. I just got bored"

I said as i scratched my neck nervously, because jesus dad was scary when he was angry.

"Just don't do it again"

I just nodded. After that little incident we made our way towards the main tent.

~Timeskip~

The jugglers were just done with their performance when the owner of the circus walked in to introduce the next performance.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE GIVE A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE FLYING GRAYSONS!"

He yelled loudly as a man and woman walked through the curtains, and began to walk around the arena as Haley(The owner) began loudly yelling again.

"AND NOT ONLY WILL THEY PERFORM, TONIGHT THEIR SON WILL DO HIS FIRST PERFORMANCE. SO PLEASE GIVE HIM A BIG HAND AS WELL!"

That's when Richard or Dick walked through the curtain waving at the audience. They begun to crawl up to the platforms, that's when i realized that it was the platform from my vision, i had a feeling that something was wrong. As they started their performance the feeling only started to get stronger and i soon found out why. As the two Grayson's soared through the air but then the ropes gave out, and that's when my heart dropped as we all witnessed the two Graysons feel to their terrifying deaths. And this time i heard the screams that came from the horrified young Dick.
Dad and i were quickly shoved outside by the police and just in time to see the ambulance arrive. I saw people screaming and crying, Dad put his hands is on my shoulder and said that he would look for some clues.

I just nodded(he had already told me that he was investing Tony Zucco) and saw him walk off, now you might think that i would be scared, but i was ok ever since what happened with my mother it was hard to scare me, besides you have to be calm in a situation like this, panicking will get you nowhere. I just looked around at the chaos but i stopped when i saw Dick sitting in one of the ambulances with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders, but i doubt he even knew it was there since he was just sitting staring into nothing, clearly still in shock. I carefully walked over towards him, he still didn't even react even though i was right in front of him, i sat down right next to him, still no reaction. I knew that no matter what i said he wouldn't hear it so instead of saying something i just leaned over and hugged him. He just sat there he didn't hug me back right away, but then i felt him slowly starting to hug a little back, after a few seconds he just broke down crying and clinging to me for comfort. I just sat there hugging him while rocking back and forth, just like what my dad did when i was upset, and here's the thing it has and will always work. Even though we just Met and didn't know each other, but i knew it didn't matter to him at the moment he just needed someone to cling to and to comfort him.

~Timeskip~

So here i was, waiting for Alfred, dad and my new little brother. Yeah, since Dick became an orphan dad saw himself in Dick and he thought about about adopting him, but he wouldn't do it unless i was ok with it so when i told him that i loved the idea of having a little brother the decision was clear. Of course i knew that dad, Alfred and me could never replace his original family, but we could create a new one.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when the door opened and in stepped the newest addition to the family.
