Dick smiled, when he heard about it.
Of course, it felt hard to be replaced and Alfred had told him, had tried to justify everything. But Dick knew. Dick knew that Batman and Gotham needed a Robin.
He was on his way to the Batcave, nevous and anxious. It would be the first time, in a few weeks, he would saw Bruce.
"- Master Dick ! I'm happy to see you !"
Dick turned round and smiled at Alfred. He wanted to rush toward him, hug him and cuddle against him, as he did when he was a child, but he knew Alfred would never
allowed him. So, he shook his hand, ankwardly.
"- How are you, Alfred ?
- Fine, Sir, thank you. What about you ? How is Nightwing's work going ?
- It's weird, to work on my own.
- I guess it is.. Do you want me to put your luggage in your room ? For how long will you stay ?
- Yes, please. And I have no idea, I will talk about that with Bruce."
Afred smiled as Dick went toward the lift, but he heard behind him.
"- Sir ?
- Yes ?
- It's good to see you at home."
Dick's smile ligthen up his face, and he entered the lift. He was able to hear his heart speeding up.
When the lift's door opened, he entered the Batcave, silent as a cat.
But the pace of a cat was nothing compared to the hearing of the bat.
"- What is it Alfred ? Didn't I told you that I was training with Jason ?"
Dick closed his eyes, with a feeling of coming finally home, after a long and painful trip.
'- It's not Alfred. It's me."
He saw Bruce standing up, in his Batman suit, without his helmet, and hiding behind him, a young boy wearing a Robin suit.
"- Dick.." whispered Bruce, going toward him.
The young man froze when he hugged him and then he wrapped his arms around him. It felt good for him, to lay in his mentor arms. Weird, really really weird, but good.
"- Dick. How are you ? What are you doing here ?"
- Seems like you're not happy to see me !"
Bruce shook his head, but Dick knew it was his way to laugh.
"- I'm fine Bruce. And I am here because Alfred texted me. You know, as you should have ! But I wanted to meet my heir."
He craned to see the boy, who was looking at them, blushing.
"- Dick, let me introduce you to Jason Todd, Gotham's new Robin. Jason, he is Nightwing, also known as Dick Grayson. And he is the first Robin."
Dick stared at Jason and shook his hand. The boy, who didn't seemed so young, looked at him, his eyes sparkling.
"- I really admire you. Everybody know that your work with Batman was awesome, and I know I will never be able to make it equal, but I don't care. I hope I will not disappoint you and that you will be proud of me, Nightwing."
Dick smiled and, without being able to contain his emotion, he held the young boy in his arms, hugging him.
"- Jason, you are now a part of the family. You can call me Dick."
