Gotham Academy schooled many students, two were heroes, two would become heroes.
It was a Monday morning; the academy's resident best friends were standing side-by-side in comfortable silence. Barbara looked over at her companion. Dick was starring, eyes narrowed in concentration. She followed his gaze.
On the second story of a building across the way, a couple of self-proclaimed theater geeks were caring what Barbara assumed to be a huge prop. The two were straining under the weight. Slightly behind them, a few jocks were running and play wrestling. Directly below the scene was Bette Kane, too involved with her cell phone to notice the coming disaster.
"Dick…" she started, but when she looked over he was already gone. She turned her head back to the unfolding scene, just in time for the jocks to run into the geeks sending the prop hurtling over the railing, strait for Bette. She saw Dick dive at Bette and send her falling backwards into the grass. As the prop shattered, his back acted like a shield.
After the shock wore off, Bette started failing her limbs, she pushed him off and he landed with a soft thud in the grass. She started yelling at him fiercely, and then her eyes came to the crash site.
She abruptly stopped talking. With a quick glance at Dick, who was lying shell-shocked in the grass, she pursed her lips and walked away with the little dignity she had left.
A crowd had gathered around the scene, dead slight. They parted to let Bette out, and closed up again. As Dick brought himself up, the crowd started clapping. He wiped his hand on his shirt and looked around. A smile slowly crept onto his face. Barbara pierced through the crowd and hugged him tightly. Other people came forward to pat him on the back.
Watching away from the commotion, a young archer pondered on what she thought was a young boy stepping up to the plate and becoming a hero. He made her think of why she wanted to be a hero in the first place, although, it would probably be the only time he would ever get the chance to save the day…
The 'hero' walked by her. She put her hand on his shoulder.
"Hey" she said to him. He raised an eyebrow in amusement. "You could give Robin a run for his money" The boy could barely keep his laughter under control.
"Thanks," he managed to choke out.
"Why is that funny," Barbara harshly whispered as they walked away. Dick just shook his head and run to home room, Barbara close at his heels.
Please Review, I rely on feedback. :P
...and it's good motivation for faster chapters...
reciprocity (bribery) is very effective. :)
