A/N:
Welllll, thought I'd make yet another fanfic. I loved Performance, and so, this was created. Not sure where this will go, but I do know that I will try and update. Seriously. I will try this time. Hopefully.
So, enjoy. The chapters are going to be short, just because I don't have the will power to type up 7,000 words(or the time) for each chapter. I hope you like it, and please, feel free to comment, good or bad, about the story.
I am also allowing requests, see below for more info.
'Kay. Enjoy ;)
Prologue
"Dan Danger, my ass." Haly said. He ran his fingers down a dusty poster, the faded colors still showing several people on a trapeze. He walked stiffly to his chair, rubbing his temple. "You were always a puzzle to figure out…"
Bang.
Haly froze, eying the door nervously. He tried not to swipe at a bead of sweat that rolled off of his brow. An idea flashed through his mind, and carefully he reached in his partially open drawer, pulling out a small gun. The dirty metal glimmered rusty red, but he knew—or at least hoped—that it still worked.
Bannnggg.
Haly was on his feet now, forgetting to remain silent. He shakily loaded the gun, aiming it at the door, at the dark shadowy figure that stood outside. The thought of calling the police crossed his mind, but decided against it. The last thing he needed was Faraday snooping around again.
Crrrack!.
Haly shrunk back against the wall, but not before firing a bullet. However, his nerves caused him to miss by inches, burying the piece of metal into the wall. He could hear bells in his head, a loud ringing noise that blotted out whatever the person—or thing—was saying. As if emerging from a pool of water, he blinked his eyes, dropping his gun and made an inhuman noise.
"Why, aren't you Jack Haly? I recognize you from when I stayed, remember, me—the thief?" Parasite chuckled as he walked into the room, his dark blue jeans stained with blood, muscles flexing as if he had just smashed a door in—which he had.
"Get the fuck outta my circus!" Haly lunged at Parasite, but groaned when the villain grasped his shoulders. Haly drooped, feeling his strength fail. He used to have been able to lift tons, but he doubted he could lift a stack of papers. He lay where he collapsed, breathing quickly as he tried to think about what to do. "You…ass-hole…if I…was…" He trailed off, his vein on his neck popping out dangerously.
"You'll what? Punch me? That'll drain your energy, grandpa."
"Why don't you wait around, and we'll see who wins!"
"Hm, I don't think so. I have bigger—in a sense—fish to fry. Anyways, I wouldn't be wishing for your energy back, if I were you." Parasite smiled, it was wicked and twisted. Haly shuddered. Parasite let a piece of paper fall down, looking at Haly mischievously. Haly watched a strand of light catch on the paper, which he realized was actually a photo. It landed right-side-up, in front of his eyes. Haly glanced at it, feeling the pit of his stomach tense painfully.
"I'd wish for…'Dan Danger'." With that, Parasite walked out the door, while Haly continued to stare at the photo of Dick Grayson on the trapeze. It was taken during the Danger's last performance, and it showed a near-perfect view of Dick's face. Haly licked his lips, noticing how the dark pencil marks formed a black and white mask over Dick's eyes. How on the corner of his costume, a small 'R' was visible. Haly tried not to think about those things, about how Dick would have told him, about the impossibility of it, but mostly…if it were true…that would mean that he, Jack Haly, family friend of the Graysons…Just endangered John and Mary's precious son.
A/N:
Hope you liked it. LIke I said before, good or bad comments are appreciated. THanks.
If you want a request, then I will be willing to type a short one or two-shot for you. BUT-
I will NOT accept same gen pairings, switching, or anything higher than a 'T'. I'm not sure about 'crack fics', I'll try one or two. But nothing extreme. Its not like I don't like these things, but...I'm just not into them. Sorry if this upsets you.
Here, have a cookie :D I'll have a short shout out to ALL of my commenters next chapter thing, plus free virtual cake and cookies! Any flavor! XD
