After his parents are murdered, Dick Grayson has a choice to make. Two men have offered to adopt him, and the authorities have left the decision that will dictate the rest of his life up to the eight-year-old. The first man, Bruce Wayne, is a well-known billionaire playboy with a good reputation. His kind eyes invite the boy to become apart of his family, but Dick can see the dark secrets he hides behind his gaze. The second man is mysterious. Never showing his face, never saying a word. He has only spoken to Dick through letters and messages, but promises him a future filled with nothing but laughter and "true happiness." Neither choice seems better or worse, but Dick must choose which path to take. Little does he know, only one man has his best interests in mind. Which one is it? *Word count: 2,469 *Completed April 4, 2016.
