Hard Life For A Birdy Like Me
they're gone...how could this have happened. Dick wept over to the mangled bodies of his once whole family. When the accident had happened people ran and screamed but no one not once went to check on them or move them. Everyone including the other entertainers left me alone with the corpses of my family. One man had stayed behind and tried to comfort and talk to me but I wouldn't listen he at least tried to talk to me but I was to mind boggled to really listen to him. I just wanted to stay here with the people my heart had yet to let go of. I heard footsteps coming towards me I thought I told him to leave me alone I twist my head to the side.
"I thought I told you to go and leave me alone Mr. Wayne I don't want any of your pity" I grounded out the words with venom
A tall man with a hood on stood over me. I could only see his teeth with plaque and yellow tinted on them.
"Well is that any way to treat me of all people" he said
He leaned down and yanked me up roughly by my shoulder. I used my other arm to try and land a hit in the ribcage area but he caught it mid-swing and turned it at an awkward angle. My cry bled through the entire tent not that anyone would hear my from the immediate swelling I could tell it was broken.
"Who are you and what do you want"? I whispered
"Well then let me introduce myself..Dick Grayson I would be the killer of your parents" he stated
I gasped I mean I couldn't help it I was too much to take in I slowly slid from his grasp to meet the floor
"They were great acrobats kid they just knew the wrong people was all nothing personal" he chuckled
I was furious how could he be so indifferent and be ok with killing them and then having the audacity to talk to me about it.
"if I weren't an everyday killer I'd normally feel bad for not doing the honor of killing you with them and putting you out of your lonesome misery but on bosses order I can't touch you he has bigger plans for you apparently. But trust me I'll definitely be back to pick you up someday a pretty face like yours can't wait to see what you look like when you get older" he licked his lips
He started to walk away then halted and yelled back to me
"oh and kid" I slowly slid my head up to look at his face "names Zucco got it memorized" he blew a kiss to me then walked out to leave me with his artwork. Oh I'll definitely remember you and I'll be coming for you sooner than you realize Zucco.
