Two Years After Bird and Archer – Canada
Snow carried James into the living room of their cabin, Dick smiled "Thanks Snow" he said as he took a sleeping James from her arms, "No prob Daddy" she joked as she sat on a couch, Artemis walked in the room with Alice in her arms. "Finally" he said looking at the small two year old…well, almost two.
Artemis smiled brightly at the family, Snow was now sixteen years old, James was the oldest twin by a few seconds, he had blonde hair like Artemis and although he was only a year and a half old he was already a mama's there was Alice, she doesn't know many words but her first were "Daddy", Alice unlike her brother was a Daddy's girl, she always had the biggest smile when Dick was around.
Snow pulled out her homework, she looked hopefully at her dad, he rolled his eyes "Fine" he grabbed the finished paper from her hands, he glanced at the paper for a few seconds "88, 42, 26, 109, and… 36" he answered all the problems in a few seconds, Snow's eyes lit up "How do you do that?!" She asked in astonishment, Dick shrugged "It helps when you're trained by the Batman"
There was a knock at the door, Dick stood and left his daughter to try and figure out how he did the math problems so quickly, Dick pulled open the door to reveal Jason Todd, Jason was the only member of the Bat-Family that Dick told where they were going.
Jason shook his head, "I'm sorry I have to tell you this" he stated, Dick tilted his head, "Dick, Bruce is dead"
Eight Hours Later – Gotham City
There were several flashes of cameras toward Dick, "Mr Grayson! Mr Grayson! Where have you been for the last two years?" One reporter shouted, "Okay, I will get to all you're questions eventually… I just need to say something first – After recent events of my fathers death… I will be returning to Gotham and taking over my fathers company… For good" he explained
Officially Bruce had died of a ski accident gone wrong, but Dick and the Bat-Family knew the truth. Bruce was killed by Darkside during a Justice league mission.
Dick walked in the Manor with Tim and Jason following close behind him. "So, Dami took over Nightwing?" Dick asked surprised, Tim nodded "He always seemed… Disappointed that you left" he explained, they walked in to see Artemis carrying James and Snow carrying Alice "Daddy!" she cried. Tim looked at Dick and smirked
"So, this my new niece" he said as he smiled brightly at the small girl, Snow gave Alice to Dick and hugged Tim "Hey Uncle T" she greeted, she turned to Jason and fist bumped him "Uncle Jay" she greeted, Jason grinned at her and turned to Tim "I'm the best uncle" he tried, Tim rolled his eyes "Please, I am obviously the best Uncle… You are a zombie" he explained
Dick chuckled, "Snow?" He asked, Snow shrugged "You're both pretty cool" she tried. Damian walked into the room "Bitches Please, I'm the best of all the Uncles" he joked as he pulled Dick into a hug, "How you holding up?" Dick asked concerned, Damian shrugged "I'm glad that you're here" he answered truthfully
All of the brothers scratched the back of their heads, Snow looked confused, Dick handed a sleeping Alice "Take her to your mom, we need to talk." He told her. Snow did as she was told, Damian was the first to speak "I would give you Nightwing back but… Are you going to take his place" he asked.
"Bruce told me something after Bane broke his back… 'Batman is more than a man, he is a myth, a legend. When I pass on, the legend of the Bat will live on forever, Bruce Wayne can die, he is but a man, but there must always be a Batman'," he explained to his brothers
He sighed "I thought I didn't want this, to be Batman but now… I know what has to be done"
