The life of Batsis

Wired Dream. 11

My normal routine is pretty much putting out fires all day.

It's now been three years since Dick first became Robin, and it's been going pretty good so far, well if "good" meant dad or Dick usually coming home with either a gunshot wound or a stab wound. Yeah me and Alfred have been pretty busy stitching up their wounds and well just basically taking care of them, there wasn't a night that they didn't come home with some sort of wound or bruise. And every time me and Alfred would tell them to be more careful they just come home with even more injuries the next night. But this also made me decide what I wanted to be, because I was going to become a Doctor or at least a nurse, to be honest I actually really wanted to become a lawyer or an actor but every time I see dad or Dick come home after their "night job" I just feel my heart breaking and maybe one day one of them come home with some deadly wound that Alfred doesn't know how to treat and if that ever happens I want to be ready. But dreaming is one thing, making it reality it a whole other story, but I'm pretty confident since I have only gotten straight A+ in class, Dick however well after he's become so focused on the "night job" his grades slipped and he started to fall behind, so dad grounded him from patrol until he at least got a B+, so I offered to tutor him and now every day after school and after he's done with gymnastics practice, we sit for an hour and a half at home doing homework and whatever other school stuff we have to do and after that we make a milkshake and watch a movie or some crazed up reality show and make fun of it until we get tired of it. So that's basically how the day goes, other than that nothing has really changed that much. As to what I'm doing right now well I'm at school talking with Marco and Katrina.

"By the way where's Laura?"

I asked while I looked around, it was kinda weird that she wasn't here already because she usually here first unless she was sent to the-

"She was sent to the principal's office... again"

Katrina said with a heavy sigh.

"What did she do this time?"

Marco asked before I could.

"She was late for class and ended up climbing the building to get to her classroom on the third floor, she gave everyone in her class a heart attack when she knocked on the window. Apparently security saw her and reported it to the teacher who in turn sent her to the principal's office"

"Wow she just keep surprising us doesn't she"

Said Marco clearly impressed.

"She's gonna get detention for a week again isn't she"

I said putting my hand on my hip. But you see Laura getting detention wasn't really anything new, it happens more often than you think. The only reason she isn't being suspended or just expelled from school completely is because her mother is rich(not as rich as dad is though)and her dad is a highly respected politician and they are convinced that and I quote "Laura would never do such terrible things, and if you ever try to expel her then I'm afraid that your school is gonna need a new principle" yeah believe it or not. Anyway we all made our way to our different classes and other than not seeing Laura for a big part of the day, but that was pretty normal. However after school was a different story.

"Well you're just wrong the Ben & Jerry's Coconuts for Caramel is the absolute best no questions asked"

Marco said looking like he was some kind of teacher trying(and failing) to teach a subject to stubborn students. Yeah they were in discussion about which Ben & Jerry's flavor is the best while we were waiting for Laura to get out of detention so we could finally hang out like we do almost everyday after school.
