We walked to a big circus tent that read 'The Flying Graysons.' Something about that name sounded familiar but I'm not sure why.
We walked in and got some popcorn from the vendor. Bruce got two bags one for him and one for me.
Bruce was looking for a seat to sit. When a boy ran into me. I fell to the ground on my back.
I got up, "sorry," the kid said. He was about nine, three years younger than me, since I'm twelve years old.
"It's fine, why did you run into me anyways," I asked trying to get the dirt off my black suit.
"Well me and my mom were playing tag, and she's it."
I raised my eyebrow, "okay... okay, my mother's mad at me," there was someone coming towards them. "Uh oh," the kid said
"Uh oh is right, Richard John Grayson," a woman said
She walked towards us, "you are grounded Richard, come on move along," the kid 'Richard' moped, and walked away. He turned his head, giving me a sad smile.
Before I could respond, the woman turned to me. "You must be one of Dick's friends."
"No ma'am, " I said politely
"Such manors, you remind me of my eldest son. Though he dissapeared six years ago."
The woman started caressing my face, "you look just like him minus the white hair."
Images started flooding in, the same woman tucking me in years ago.
"Sweet dreams Danny my little sparrow."
"I love you Mum."
"I love you too, wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed tomorrow. We're going to practice our next big act for the show."
"Okay."
I snuggled under the covers, and I closed my eyes.
The images stopped, the woman stopped caressing my face. Now though she was tucking my multicolored hair behind my ear.
I found her hand and placed my hand on hers. I looked into her blue eyes.
"Mum," she started cry when she heard that single word
"Danny, my sweet boy," she hugged me. I hugged her back.
"Danny, I found us a..." Bruce stopped when he saw me hugging mom Grayson.
Danny stopped hugging his mother, and looked at Bruce.
"Am I missing something here," Bruce asked
Before either of us could reply, there was another voice. "Mary, where are you," the voice asked conserned
"Right here," she said standing up. She started to cry once again. She whispered somehing to what Danny believed to be her husband.
He welled up and looked back towards Danny. He hugged him, Danny tensed up. He was suprised from this sudden action.
"Son."
"Tati," I whispered. I cried and nuzzled my face in the crook of his neck.
"It's okay, we thought that we had lost you," he said rubbing circles on Danny's back
Danny hugged his father tight, "I missed you too, and Mum."
John held Danny's face with his hand. "Look at you, your so big. What have you've been doing all these years?"
Danny's happy face turned sad, "many things, " he whispered.
John pulled him into another hug, "you must stay with us, with you will be a big happy family again."
"I'm sorry... I can't, I have a new family." I said motioning to Bruce, "I can't live with parents that I haven't seen in five years, or my little brother that probably doesn't even remember what I look like," I said standing up and dusting myself off.
(If your confused, this is the plot line. Danny is born a Grayson. At the age of seven he is taken by the Fentons and after a year he goes into the ghost portal.
He does this because he thinks he can get more attention from his 'parents,' well he does. His parents ship him of to the Giw (ghost investigation ward). He is there for two years and escapes at the age of ten).
Bruce walks down from the stands and gives Danny's shoulder a squeeze. "This is Bruce, my father," I say to my biological parents.
"It is nice to meet you," Mary Grayson says
John puts a hand on her back, " it's time to go hun, the show is going to start soon."
"Bye Bruce, by little sparrow," Danny's mom says
Danny's eyes start to water and he crys once again. The facade he was hiding behind, gone.
Danny cries and his knees fall to the ground, he mumbles, "she always use to call me that."
Bruce lifts me up bridal style and I cry into his black suit. Hair that is black and white- covering his face.
"Come on let's watch the show," Bruce says.
