First Dick/Babs story, I had so many ideas but I realized that nobody would like them so I thought of a new one so here it is, my version of how batgirl originated and joined the Young Justice team, season 2 never existed because Wally died in it and that is just not acceptable. The characters are pretty much the same from the second season but I added a few more. Side pairings are supermartian and Spitfire. Well proceed :D
Disclaimer: Okay lets celebrate the disclaimer by a question! Are you on fanfiction? If you say "yes" then it should be obvious that I do not own young justice, justice league or DC for that matter!
Prologue:
Is it wrong that I don't remember my real parents?
Is it wrong that I betrayed my sibling?
Is it wrong that I fell in love with my best friend?
Is it wrong that I fell in love with my friend's boyfriend?
Is it wrong that I wanted more when I had everything?
Is it wrong that I broke everyone I ever cared about?
Is it wrong that I tried to fix what was meant to be broken?
Is it wrong that I shunned one of my parents?
Is it wrong that I became batgirl?
My name is Barbara Gordon.
And I have loads of questions;
But the one I ask always is
Is it wrong that I get all the miracles?
Chapter 1:
Don't you love the circus? All of the audience amazed of what magic can be produced inside the small tent? The horses galloping around the wrings while their riders stood confidently on their backs, when horse and human meet? The clowns that act so silly and squirt each other in the face? Jugglers who juggle the most dangerous things that could kill if not careful. Beautiful ladies with dazzling costumes that fit into small boxes? Animals from all over the world being tamed? And acrobats, acrobats who flew in the air without the comfort of the net.
All these things were included in Haly's Circus.
Nine year old Barbara Gordon was excited, it was her first time going to the circus. She gripped her little brother James's hand and he gripped back. They looked very different but still the same, even though Barbara was three years his senior. The had the same Fiery hair and onyx eyes but Barbara took after her mother and James after his father. They were closer then close, they protected each other.
It was almost Christmas so the snow covered everyone's tracks to the circus. Barbra was really looking forward to the Flying Graysons. She started gymnastics when she was only four year olds and wanted to see if she could learn any new flips. Her excitement was contagious and her paernts walked happily behnd them at as lower pace but James clutched Barbara, he didn't trust anyone but his big sister and he didn't want anyone to take hima way from her. Anyone.
After a lot of convincing and unhappy murmuring they found a seat in the middle row between a couple making out and a pyro. The pyro was happily lighting random things from her bags on fire, then squenching it. She looked Russain with straight hair, her eyes were an unusual bright green. She leaned over to Barbara and asked her if that was her natural hair colour? Barbara giggled and said what a nine year old girl would say;
"Yep"
"Well hun, I gotta ask you a question" She leaned closer to whisper in her ear "Do you like fire" Barbara looked bewildered. "Fire is cool, it's bright and nice to look at, but you aren't allowed to play with it because it's dangerous"
"Smart girl, but just take this" as she put the lighter in her hand. She stood up revealing a lava red jumpsuit and black heels. Barbara was confused but it turned into excitement as soon as smoke filled the stage. The ringmaster came out on the back of a lion and boomed his voice so every inch of the tent could hear him. The snow outside was whistling so the loud voice without any MEGAphone help was quite impressive.
"Now for our opening act we have the flying Graysons!" A beautiful man and woman appeared on the platform and waved to the audience. Barbara waved happily at them while her little brother glared at them. "Who were these people trying to take away his sister from him?" He thought.
"Of course the flying Graysons will be performing without the safety of a net" This was too much for Barbara, she squealed and pretty much was sitting off the seat. James jr. continued to glare a glare worthy to be compared to a batglare. The man and woman performed a series amounts of tricks while landing perfectly each time, Barbara was enthralled.
"And now, the youngest member of the Haly Circus will perform his first act. Now ladies and gentlemen ,boys and girls please welcome Richard Grayson!" A small boy with ebony black hair covering his head and the most piercing sky-blue eyes Barbara had ever seen appeared on the tall platform, he had a red gymnastics suit with an R on his chest.(A.A.N Sorry I have no idea what it's called so, yeah) Then his mother swooped in and extended her arms to catch him after he jumps while grinning.
Then the unimaginable happened.
The rope broke and the two oldest members of the flying Graysons fell to their death "without the safety of a net".
A small boy became an orphan.
He fell to his knees and clutched himself tight, as if willing to make himself disappear or just wake up from this horrible nightmare.
Comissioner Jim Gordon standing up while yelling into his phone for an ambulance.
Barbara Gordon grabbing her sons and daughters hands and pulling them out of the circus.
The younger Barbara Gordon pulling away and sprinting to the circus ring.
A nine year old girl hurrying up to the highest platform like a squirrel.
Her heart breaking for the vacancy and loss in his eyes.
Cold tears streaming down their faces.
One crying for pain and the other for loss.
" I know it hurts and it won't ever heal, but It will get better, that I can promise you" She said while her arms wrapped around him and pulled him close. He melted against her and started sobbing uncontrollably, the shock wearing off and the sadness making a wedge in his heart. He managed to stop and speak in Romanian "De ce? De ce a părinții mei au să moară de toți oamenii? Cine ar fi la acest cu ei? Nu cred că pot trăi fără ele." She couldn't speak the language but she knew what he was saying because it was literally written all over his face. She squeezed him tighter and said
"It get's easier over time, it never heals but eases" He managed a smile but it wasen't just a smile but a beacon of hope. He clung his long arms around her, they clutched each other tightly.
Officer P.O.V
"All units in sector D please come to to the Marked location immediately" She heard Jim Gordon's in over her intercom. She slipped out of bed and got dressed in her uniform. Jim Gordon was not a bad looking man, with intelligence to boost. Pity about the wife she thought. She climbed on her motorcycle and drove far fast the speed limit, who was going to arrest her? Herself? She wasen't about rules or law or even justice, the reason she joined the force was because she was an adrenaline junkee, and Gotham had a lot of criminals. Ask anyone.
Once she reached the location she was surprised to see Haly's circus, a very famous Romanian circus. She walked in but what caught her degree rewarded observational skills was the two children at the platform at the top. She avoided the crowd and scaled up the ladder. Once she reached the top she was rewarded with the sight of two children holding each other close, while fighting demons both inner and outer. A small read-haired girl with onyx eyes and a boy with ebony hair and crystal eyes.
They looked like they belonged in a fairytale.
