It had been twenty minutes since Danny had stopped crying. So Danny and Bruce were sitting in the stands waiting for the show to begin. I put my head on Bruce's shoulder.
"Now introducing the Flying Graysons." Danny's biological parents take center stage.
"They are going to perform for you tonight, putting on a thrilling and spectacular show."
The two of them walking to the trapeze and climb up the ladder. It had no net, but this is the way the Graysons always performed.
They started swinging from one bar to the next catching each other in midair.
Danny started to tense, the last time he had went on a trapeze wire; he had broke his leg.
They doing so well that he started to calm down once again. That was until he and the other viewers heard a gun shot ring through the air.
Danny watched his parents fall to the ground with a sickening crack. Danny couldn't move all he could do was watch, in paralyzing fear.
The sound of the gunshot was still ringing through his ear drums. He was so much in shock that he couldn't even feel Bruce shaking him.
He tried to move but he couldn't. Bruce, also seeing this, picked Danny up bridal style.
Bruce started talking to Danny but he got no response.
Danny closed his eyes trying to forget the fact that he had just witnessed his own parents' death. He tried but he knew for a fact that was all true.
Danny woke up and he looked around seeing that he was in hospital bed.
Bruce and who looked to be Richard, no sorry Dick as he recalled. "How are you doing bud," Bruce asked
"Fine but my head hurts though," Danny said uncertainly
"Do you remember anything," Bruce asked
Just then the images all came flooding back, my parents dead. There bloodied bodies strewn about on the floor.
My eyes started to glazd over, "I remember it all perfectly, but I wanna forget."
I looked over at Dick, his already big blue eyes just got bigger. "I told him everything, how you two are brothers. I also told him that he would be living with us- you, me, and Alfred. Together."
Bruce looked to Dick and nodded. Dick's gloomy face suddenly lit up with happiness. Dick ran over and hugged me.
At first I was surprised, but then I hugged him back.
"Frate (brother)," he said to me
"Păsărică (little bird),"I said to him
Bruce pulled both of them into a hug.
"What happened after I went into after shock," I asked
Dick then spent the next half hour explaining to me. How Bruce came to him and comforted him. That he was sent to an orphanage for the next two days.
(He was out for that long?) Bruce came and took him, and signed the adoption papers.
Danny then heard how he was sent to the hospital the first day after he blacked out. Danny was in the hospital for a total of six days.
Also how this was the first day that the nurse would allow them to see Bruce's son and Dicks brother.
After Dick finished explaing, we all piled into the big black limo. Where Bruce drived us home.
We got there and then we were all greated by Alfred.
"Who is this Master Bruce, Daniel?"
"He's my brother Dickie bird," I said ruffling his hair.
He pushed my my hand away. "How was your long vacation in the hospital Master Daniel," he asked directing the question at me.
"Boring, I don't how anyone could stay there," I said acting like my regular self again
Though as tough as I acted, inside I was as broken as a scratched up record.
After we should Dick around the large mansion; we all sat down for super.
Alfred made us some lamb chops, some mashed potatoes and peas. He place the food on the table in front of.
I sat there starring at my food for what seemed like hours. Until Dick snapped his fingers in front of my face.
I blinked my eyes and snapped my head towards Dick.
"Hmm," I said
"Aren't you going to eat," he asked
"No," I said surprising Bruce and Alfred because normally I would always eat. "I'm not hungry, but you can have it if you want."
"Score," Dick said
He took my plate and started to scarf it down. Bruce and Alfred gave me concerned looks.
I ignored them and comtknued to stare at the spot where my food had been.
Bruce and Alfred gave each other concerned looks.
