Gotham Memorial Graveyard 11:00 AM Richard's POV:
'WHY, WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DIE, WHY WASN'T IT ME!' I thought. (AN: He's only around 15 years old)
"Excuse me" A tall man with black hair said I turned and looked at him, it was Bruce Wayne, Gotham's playboy millionaire' I thought.
"Oh hi Mr. Wayne, I heard you paid for all of this, Thank you" I said sadly looking over to my now dead parent's grave, it read 'Forever Flying, Rest in Peace John and Mary Grayson'
"It was no problem, im so sorry for what happened, acciden- I cut him off.
"It was no accident Mr. Wayne I know exactly who did it they came to us before our show and they were the ones who killed them" I said angrily.
"Wait, who came?" He asked kneeling down to my height.
"The Zucco Brothers" I said as a scowl formed.
"Oh I see well I must be going, but once again it was no problem" He said walking away with another man who was rather old and was wearing a butler's suit.
Everyone began to leave but I stayed and sat with them.
Gotham Memorial Graveyard 3:15 PM Richard's POV:
I stood up 'I have to go back to the children's home at some time' I thought sighing.
I heard someone crying I walked over to see a young girl with red hair, green tear filled eyes, and the most perfect, flawless tanned skin, I'd ever seen.
"Father, Mother, May you rest in peace" She said sniffling and placing down some pink and red roses, she walked over to the apple tree (AN: Do they have apple trees in graveyards?) and stretched for an apple, she couldn't reach it, I began to walk over, she jumped and hit it but it fell.
"Oh no" She said I caught it and held it out for her "Thank you kind stranger" She said I was caught off her voice was beautiful, heck she was beautiful.
(AN: He's a rather mature 9 year old) "You're Welcome, im Richard" I said holding my hand out, she shook it.
"Im Koriana" She said smiling a gorgeous smile.
"So are those you're parents Kori?" I asked her, she looked at me.
"Kori?" She asked her eyes showing complete confusion, I smiled and gave a small chuckle.
"Oh it's a nick name, sorry" I said.
She smiled again "Don't be I like it, Kori" She said giggling, then her smile faded "Yes those are my parents" She lowered her head.
"How did they, you... know" I asked curiously.
"Well, if 'You Know' means die, then they died in a plane crash" Kori said as tears began to fill her eyes.
I pulled her into a hug and she cried "its ok" I said trying to comfort her, I had merely just met this girl and seeing her cry was just tearing my heart up slowly.
"Thank you, again" Kori said lifting her head from his chest and wiping her tears.
"No problem" I said smiling to her.
"So how did your parents, uhm… you know" She said playing with her hair.
"Oh, well we were in the circus as they Flying Grayson's, and we'd just came to Gotham, these men came to our tent and threatened if we didn't pay them bad things would happen, and bad things did happen they loosened the wires and my parents both fell" I said lowering my head 'DON'T YOU DARE CRY!' I thought.
Kori tickled me and I began to laugh uncontrollably "Stop it!" I said in between laughs.
"Sorry I just wanted you to smile again" Kori smiled her beautiful smile.
"I love you're smile" I wiped my eyes then they immediately widened realising what I just said.
"Thank you" She said kissing my cheek.
"Wanna take a walk?" I asked she nodded; we both stood up and walked on the green grass which glimmered being slightly wet.
"So you were in the circus" Kori said changing the subject.
"Yeah I was…" I said once again losing my smile.
"So can you show me?" Kori asked.
"Sure" I said I walked over to a space and began to do my practice routines.
"Wow, that's amazing" Kori said in awe.
"Thanks I've been doing it since I was around 5" I said.
"Cool" Kori said.
"So where do you live now?" I asked.
"Oh… well I live with my Sister Komi, Brother Ryan and Uncle Galfore, what about you?" Kori asked.
"I live in the children's home" I frowned hating to admit the truth.
"Oh" Kori's tone changed from an average beautiful girl he'd secretly have a crush on behind her back, to a sad and sympathetic girl who gave him nothing but pity. "Im sorry" Kori said.
"It's ok, im sure things will work out" I said lying.
"Things always do" Kori's voice changed again to a supportive tone.

Gotham Children's Home 6:10 PM Richard's POV:
"Richard please come out you have a visitor" A carer said knocking his door.
"Who?!" I got off of my bed and stormed over to the door, I yanked his door open, there stood Kori holding a large basket; she placed it down and jumped into a hug with me, I immediately lifted her up, she was surprisingly light and her scent was incredible it filled my lungs with deep pleasure. I smiled and imagined how much longer I could hold her before it became awkward.
"Richard it's great to see you!" Kori she said giggling as she wanted let down.
"You too Kor" I said placing her down.
"I brought you this" She said bending over and picking up the basket, she handed it over to him.
I scanned what was inside the basket it consisted of a small teddy bear, a box of chocolates and a football "Huh?" I said wondering why she was giving me these things.
"I thought you might like it" Kori said, with the look of disappointment upon her face, I cursed myself I can't believe I had just made her feel bad, note to self hit yourself with a door, I placed a finger on her adorable chin I lifted her chin up and looked into her soft green eyes.
"No I do, its nice but why, im not used to getting gifts" I said truthfully, this was honestly the first time I was given a gift my parents never really celebrated holidays like Christmas or birthdays but it was a nice change.
"Oh well I thought we could be best friends read the card" She said with a large smile on her face.
I took the envelope in my hands and opened it slowly, pulling it out of the envelope I smiled as it was bright and colourful it read 'Friends forever' "A little cheesy huh?" I smirked.
Kori giggled "Keep Reading"
I read the rest of the card silently admiring her neat handwriting "Kori c'mere" I said opening my arms wide.
Kori giggled and jumped into my arms I picked her up again as I felt myself practically hypnotized by her alluring scent "So will you be my best friend?" She asked, heck I'm hoping best friends isn't all we'll be, I nodded and said possibly the cheesiest thing I've ever said in my life.
"Forever and Always" I said placing my head on her shoulder softly.
Gotham Children's Home 10:10 PM Normal POV:
Richard heard a knock on his door "Huh?" Richard said sitting up in her bed.
"Richard you have someone here to visit you" A carer said with his head hanging through his door.
Richard mumbled and walked over to the door to follow the carer.
"Just through there" The carer said giving him a slight push through the door.
There stood Bruce Wayne "Mr Wayne what are you doing here" Richard asked curiously.
"Im here to adopt you Richard I believe that you would be a great son and I know what it's like to see you're parents die, mines die in front of me too" Bruce said.
"Oh, when are we leaving?" Richard asked frowning.
"Now actually" Bruce said.
"Here is you're things Mr. Grayson" A carer said handing his things.
"Wait I need to go and get something" Richard said running back to his now old room, he lifted the pillow up and took the bear Kori gave him and he took the basket out from under his bed.
"A bear aren't you to old for that?" Bruce asked.
"Well yeah I am but this was given to me by a friend" Richard said "A best friend" Richard muttered under his breath.

Wayne Manor Jump City 12:30 PM Richard's POV:
"Welcome to your new home Master Grayson" Bruce's butler said, he was rather average height, he had a full head of black hair and a matching moustache, his suit was ironed and neat, he seemed like the kind of guy who might have a panic attack if he got one crease.
"Please Alfred, call me Richard" I said to him trying to cover up the small chuckle that was building in my throat.
"Ok sir" Alfred said in his oh so polite tone.
I walked into the manor. It was large and was all a cream white colour from top to bottom "Woah this place is huge!" I said in awe.
"Sir I believe that is why it is called a manor" Alfred said in a slight humorous tone.
I chuckled figuring he wasn't the type "I didn't think you'd be one for jokes" I arched an eyebrow and smirked following him.
Alfred smiled opening a door silently. "This is your room sir" Alfred said as I walked in smiling widely.
"DUDE! This place is awesome!" I said excitedly (His room was filled with computers and TV's and all of his things were already packed inside)
"Well I'll let you settle in and I'll see you later" Alfred said exiting the room.
"Thanks Al" I said throwing myself onto the bed like a ragdoll.
I moaned and sighed as the bright bubbly red head came to mind, I smiled and bit my lip, she was perfect, attractive, lively, smart and overall just amazing. "If we ever meet again…" I muttered dozing off.

The Next Day Children's Home Gotham City 11:00 AM Kori's POV:
Kori walked through the doors of the Children's home "Hi is Richard here?" I asked the carer, I was excited to see him again.
"Dear I'm sorry he left last night he was in the process of being adopted but only found out last night" The carer said as my smile faded, I looked down sadly then realized he would be better now I couldn't just be selfish about the fact he was gone.
"Oh I see, well thank you anyways" I said walking out the door.
'I can't believe he moved' I thought, I kicked a rock with my pink sneakers off of the sidewalk onto the road it hit someone's tyre
"Koriana, please get in" A tall man with long hair, a long red beard, he had the same tone of skin as Kori, green eyes and on his left eye he had a scar and he was blind in that eye.
"Yes Uncle Galfore" Kori said opening the back car door.
"Did you see you're friend?" Galfore said and then he noticed her frown "What is wrong my dear" Galfore asked kindly.
"Oh it's nothing Galfore" Kori sighed "It's just, my friend moved away and I didn't get to say goodbye" Kori said sadly.
"Oh dear" Galfore said sighing "It'll be ok im sure he would have wanted to" Galfore said.

One Month Later Gotham City Academy 8:50 AM Normal POV:
"Hello Richard I am you're Principal and I would like to welcome you to Gotham Academy, now I am going to warn you I don't take any nonsense or misbehaviour" The Principal said.
"Yes sir" Richard said.
"Now I will take you to you're registration class" The Principal said as he walked out with Richard following behind.
The Principal knocked on a classroom door and opened it "Hello Mrs. Carmine, here we have our newest pupil Richard Grayson" The Principal said.
"Oh I see, welcome to Gotham Academy, please go and sit in that seat over there" Mrs. Carmine said pointing to a seat at the back of the classroom.
"Thank you" Richard said walking over and sitting down in the seat.
The door slammed open "Mrs. Carmine im so sorry im late my bike's chain broke and I had to run with it here to school and it was just a huge mess" Kori said panting heavily, she was wearing a bright blue outfit covered in some oil on her shirt, as well as her fingers.
"Kori?" Richard asked under his breath.
"It's ok dear this is you're only time you've been late please go and take a seat next to our new pupil" Mrs. Carmine said pointing over to Richard's direction.
Kori walked up to her seat and saw Richard; she ran to him and grabbed him into a huge hug.
