Phoenix, son of Wonder Woman

The Team

He leaned up in a small ball, tears slowly falling from his eyes. He didn't understand why, why they had to die. Why the world took them from him. Any amount of comfort was barely enough to keep him calm, nothing the other children did cheered him up. He, a five year old child, was left without his parents and now rested within the Gotham City Children's Orphanage. His uncle had died of a heart attack the year before, and the next closet thing he had an to uncle was the Circus master, Jack Haly, who was no in a state of shock that his circus had closed down. So, with now where to go, Dick Grayson had been left at the Orphanage with no hope of ever having a family again.

A knock upon his room door drew his attention towards one of the orphanage ladies.

"Richard, someone's here to take you home." She said calmly.

Dick made no attempt to move, but instead remained firmly planted upon his bed. The lady shook her head and walked in and placed a hand upon his shoulders.

"She's a lovely young woman Richard." She said.

Dick lifted his head slightly and nodded lightly. He began to move and pack what little he had. Still unable to comprehend how much he'd lost in a single night, he made his way down to the central lobby where the woman in question stood. She was tall and fair-skinned. Black hair tied back into a ponytail with blue eyes. She wore a black jacket with a brown shirt beneath it and dark blue jeans. She stood silently, watching Dick with interest as he walked forward.

"Richard, my name's Diana Prince. I'm adopting you." She introduced.

Dick nodded and followed her outside. The two were quick to approach a small red sportscar. Diana was quick to open the door for Dick who climbed in. Helping him strap in, she quickly got into the drivers seat and started the car. Driving forwards, she glanced up into the rearview mirror.

"How are you feeling?" She asked.

Dick shrugged his shoulders and kept silent. Diana took that as sign that he wasn't ready and decided not to push to far. To let him recover from the shock of the deaths.

-------------------------------------------------------

The drive onwards was filled with a tense silence for a good part of the hour. The only sound was that of the car and other cars around them. Gotham City had since then, become a blur in the distance behind them as they drove outwards. Dick had fallen asleep several hours ago, and Diana knew that things were going to be different for him when they reached Themyscira.

-------------------------------------------------------

To say Dick was shocked when he awoke on a plane was an understatement. He was confused as hell. He had no idea where they were going, or why they were on a plane. So, with a deep breath, he spoke.

"Where are we going?" He asked.

Diana turned her head slightly and flashed a small smile at him. Dick could see the joy in her, and so, smiled back.

"To Themyscira, where I grew up." She replied. Not a single hint of her betraying her double life as Wonder Woman to Dick. For all intents and purposes, he was now her son. While not blood, she would still love him and care for him as if he was her own blood child.

Dick blinked before he slowly put together the bits of the puzzle when he noticed that the plane they were flying in was invisible on the outside.

"You're Wonder Woman!" He said with enthusiasm and a small amount of interest.

Diana smirked and chuckled. "Of course I am. And we're about to see my family, and where you'll be living for the next few years while I get some housing sorted out back in the world of man." She replied.
