This is the life of Lucy Jane Grayson and this is where it begins
I was only 4, only 4 when my life began to fall apart and I was only 4 when I had thoughts on running away but when my mother needed me most I was taken, I'm Lucy Jane Grayson and this is my story
I sat in the orphanage waiting for my mother to come and find me, find her little girl and it's been 10 years since I saw my mother's blond hair and 10 years since I saw my father's blue eyes and the black hair and it's been 10, 10 years since I saw my older brother, and all I knew about him was his name but if I saw those blue eyes anywhere I would know it was him, I just would
So here I sat waiting for Mother, Father or big brother to find me, I could only stay for 1 more year then I can't be taken back or even adopted, I gaze at the small television while it plays the news and there is a man standing with a 16 year old boy then the camera zoomed in on the man and the words beat from the speakers
"Tomorrow Bruce Wayne will come to award the hero award to the Justice league for their help saving us once again and his son Richard Grayson-"
the words hit me like a bullet 'Richard Grayson' it was big brother but why is ha labelled as 'the son of Bruce Wayne unless' I shook my head keeping the tears of joy and hurt threatening to fall from my eyes
There was a program on where every 2 weeks some kids were taken to a national occurrence and tomorrow I finally got to go and this time we were going to the award session and then the Hall of Justice so maybe I would get to see big brother just maybe so we all had to dress in something nice tomorrow
The next day I pulled on a light blue dress and a white belt and white Mary Jane flats and I brushed my mid back blond hair in to a ponytail and let my fringe hang out I walked out with the rest of the girls and sat in the bus, most were younger but one was a year older her name is Annabelle she is really kind
We arrived and we walked to the crowd which was large and we watched or well what we could see just then one of the women tapped my shoulder
"could you take the girls for a potty break" I sighed looking down at the 7-8 year olds looking up to me and I nodded with a smile and took the girls to the public toilets and I leaned back against the tree near it, it was slightly concealed by the trees so no one would see me but I got a pretty good side view but then someone tapped me on the shoulder
"are you enjoying the award ceremony" I nodded not looking and I said "yeh I just want to talk to Richard Grayson"
Richard's Pov
I snuck away from the crowd and walked through the trees till I saw a girl standing against the tree as if waiting for a sibling to get out of the toilets she looked quite pretty from the back, I walked up to her and tapped her shoulder
"are you enjoying the award ceremony" she nodded not looking back and said "yeh I just want to talk to Richard Grayson" I smirked
"well he's here" she turned around and fell to the ground her fringe falling over her face so I offer a hand
"what do you want to talk to me about?" she took my hand while wiping her hair from her eyes I store wide eyed as I looked at the girl standing in front of me who looked so familiar
Flashbacak
A little girl ran up to me her light blond hair in two ponytails and in a little pink dress and she said
"Big brother" she said exited and I wrapped my arms around her and said "hi Lulu" I picked her up and swung her in the air, there was only 2 years between us but she was so light then our mother came out
"Lulu there you are I've been looking everywhere for you, we were going to do your first trapeze practice today" the little girl beamed and said "I was looking for big brother so I could show him" mom smiled
"well come on" she grabbed Lucy's hand and she grabbed mine and lead me to the practice area
That same year Lucy was taken away from us
Reality
"Lucy" she had the same blue eyes but they were filled with loneliness and sorrow but she had the same hair as mother and her beauty too wait she would be 14 by now, I smiled and so did she as tears pricked both our eyes and we hugged she let go and smiled but then frowned when a little girl tugged at her arm
"Mia, tell Miss Brook I'll be back soon and follow Annabelle back ok" the girl nodded and ran back, he looked at me
"that's the girls from the orphanage, it's a sweet little place when you get past getting up at 2 am to stop the younger ones crying, that's Annabelle and I's job"
Lucy's Pov
He smiled as we sat down under the tree where a seat was and
"how have you been Lulu?" I didn't reply and he said "is something wrong" I look up and said "I haven't been called Lulu in years, 10 to be exact" a tear falls down my cheek and he wraps an arm around me
"I'm so sorry Lu, after you were taken we thought you were dead and Mom and Dad was all I had left till…. Till the" tears fell more freely and I started to cry more then he said "till the murder"
I store in shock tears streaking down our cheeks more rapidly and we wrap each other in to a hug but then I grab out a handkerchief with lace on the edge and a gold fancy 'L' sewed in and I handed it to him and he smiled and wiped away hit tears and smiled
It was half an hour and the other speeches were finishing and the Orphanage girls were playing at a park while Miss Brook stayed and listened, just then a black shadow came over us
"Dick you have been missing for almost an hour and… who is this" I smiled and said "I'm Lucy Grayson sir" he looked shocked and said "I never knew you had a sister" he sighed
"she was taken when she was 4 and was assumed dead" he looked down at me and said "where have you been staying" I smiled and said "at the Gotham Orphanage for little girls sir" he smiled
"well Lucy I know it is sudden but if you could would you come and live with us" I smiled and said "that would be wonderful sir" he smiled and said "I will meet there next week" just then he smiled and left with Richard
I walked over to the group of girls at the park and Annabelle said "where in the world have you been" I smiled and said
"I just found my brother" she looked at me and said "no way, who is he, what does he look like, is he cute" I smiled and said "I have 2 words to answer all three…Richard Grayson" she store in shock and I said "and I'm being adopted next week" she squealed with joy and so did I
