My second story, and its probably gonna be a short one but I still hope you all enjoy it! :D Please review! And Thank you for reading! Sorry for spelling and grammar mistakes in advance!
It was another usual Saturday morning at Mount Justice. Batman had just informed the team that they would be no missions that day, so everyone was just lounging around doing their own thing. Wally was watching the TV with Superboy, Kaldur was reading a book, Artemis was in her room listening to music, Megan was baking cookies and Robin was sitting in the mission room reading the news on the main monitor.
Gotham's resident boy wonder was busy reading articles on recent muggings and crimes, till something on one the pages caught his attention. In big, bold golden letters, the headline read "HALY'S CIRCUS RETURNS TO GOTHAM". Robin's eyes widened below his mask as he read through the article. 'After the unfortunate death of the Flying Graysons 4 years ago, the circus had temporarily closed down; its members still in mourning over the loss of their greatest stars, as well as their beloved family. A few months later however, the circus reopened once more with newfound passion and vitality. Mr. Haly, the circus owner and ring master gave the following comment;
"All of us here at Haly's are all still very sad over their loss and miss them tremendously till this day. After some time though, we all got together and agreed that they would have wanted us to continue smiling, as well as making other people smile in return. So we got out act together and started preforming once again. From all of us here at the circus.. we really miss you John and Mary. We know you're there looking down at us. As for the little kiddo… we know you're doing well. Come visit us when you have the time, and know that we will always be there for you".
The last message it seems, is addressed to the youngest member and son of the 3 Graysons, Rich-' The story continued on, but Robin didn't bother reading the rest. Robin- no, Dick, turned off the monitor and smiled. Just like the gang back in his old home, he had never gotten over the lost of his parents. But he knew they would have wanted him to be happy, and he was.
Dick had a new family now. With Bruce, Alfred, and the team, and was the happiest he's been in a long, long time. That didn't mean he had ever forgotten about his old family though. Mr. Haley, the performers and the animals, the rush and thrill he felt whenever he performed. Such fond memories drifted through his young mind and now he wanted to visit them so bad. Just a small trip to check on how things were after the 4 years he's been away.
Dick got up from his seat and was making his way to the TV room, when Wally suddenly appeared before him.
"Rob, I gotta tell you something!" cried Wally in excitement. "You see, there was an advertisement on the TV about a circus and since we weren't doing anything today I thought it'd be great if we all could go! I asked the other guys already and they all seemed pretty keen to go, so all I needed to do left was to ask you! Pleeeeeasssee say you'll come! It'll be great! There'll be performances, the food, the rides, the food, the games, the food.." Wally continued.
"Okay, okay, I get it!" Robin laughed. "Give me 3 minutes to get ready and then I'm good to go".
"Awright!" Wally fist pumped in the air with a big grin on his face before he sped off to tell the others.
Dick walked into his room and changed out of his Robin suit to his civvies; not forgetting to pack his utility belt in his pocket. He met up with with the rest of his team who were already in the hanger dressed in their civvies. Soon all 6 of the teenage heroes exited the base via zeta tube, and made their way to Gotham City.
:D:D:D:D:D:D
After about 15 minutes of walking from the phone booth, the team found themselves standing in front of a big multi-coloured sign that read 'Haly's circus' and instantly, everyone in the team lit up. They could smell the tantalizing wafts of popcorn and cotton candy, they could hear the screams and laughter of excitement from the other visitors and could see a variety of clowns, fire eaters and acrobats jumping about everywhere performing amazing tricks. Dick's eyes twinkled as old memories returned to him. It felt soo great to be back again. Wally noticed Dick's anticipation and nudge him. "I know right? This is gonna be awesome!" smiled Wally.
