The Boy Wonder: Dick Grayson

Prologue: Sad Beginnings

The bright lights shined in a small boy's face, but he wasn't bothered. No, this boy just smiled from the the tremendous height he stood at. He waved to the cheering crowd below him along with his parents.

The Flying Graysons, a family act, a trapeze act to be exact. No one could compare to their defiance of gravity. The form and gracefulness of the troupe was outstanding.

But earlier that day, before the night's show, a man came by and threatened the circus and the small boy that stood on the platform witnessed this. Only the boy was unaware of what was about to happen. That the threat that the man yelled to Pop Haley was going to happen.

His dad jumped out onto the bar and started their act and then his mother after him. The young boy looked into his mother's eyes with trust that coup only come through experience and love over years and years of time.

Tonight, everything would change for the family of three. The boy, even if tonight was just like an other, knew deep down that it would but had pushed away the feeling when his father told him that everything was alright after he had noticed the man who had made the threat messing by the ropes.

Soon he would jump into his mother's arms and fly with grace that came through blood. Nothing could take the joy from the crowd's faces, or so the circus thought.

The parents of the child came back around to catch the boy and have him join the act. He got ready, and didn't notice the slight creak from the ropes above him.

He jumped. The young lad jumped straight into the arms of his mother as the people cheered below.

Sadly, as soon as the extra weight was added; the ropes snapped. The weight of gravity soon became reality to the flying family. The audience gasp and some screamed. Many stood in shock. A man, with his three child, stood watching, the protective father covered the eyes of the youngest two while the eldest couldn't.

The look of horror that flew onto the features of the acrobats was an unforgettable sight. The father and mother turned to look at each other; excepting their fate with sad looks. They looked at their beautiful son as tears streamed down his young face. With a silent agreement, the two pushed their son above them so they were piled on one another. The boy could feel his mother's tears and arms go surround him. He looked into the eyes of his mother, the same eyes that he was gifted with.

"We love you, Dick," she whispered into his ear.

"I-," but before a word was said, they impacted with the unforgiving earth and Dick Grayson's world went black.
