A/N: Hello everyone! So I know that I have like 2 other chapter stories going on right now and I should really finish those, but I am just so excited for this story that I can't wait any longer!
So this is a story I adopted from calonzo2. I have rewritten and edited the first 4 or 5 chapters so those updates will come weekly but after that I will try to update as I finish chapters. =)
I really hope you all like this story. I would like to thank calonzo2 for coming up with this amazing idea and for letting me continue their story.
Prologue!
Night covered Gotham City like a wall of darkness. The moon and stars were covered by a thick blanket of clouds. But just because it is night does not mean the city is asleep. Most nights it seems like half of Gotham is nocturnal. Among the citizens that move about the streets at night there are villains lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike, and when they do there will be two heroes to stop them. Gotham City's Dark Knight and Boy Wonder.
Alfred could hear the sound of Bruce typing on the computers and Richard working on his bike as he made his way down to the Bat Cave. He could also hear Richard babbling on about stuff that happened at school, and it brought a slight smile to his face. Alfred walked over to the desk where Bruce was working and sent a fresh cup of coffee next to his Batman mask.
"Thank you Alfred." Bruce said without looking up from his work. Alfred could tell he was starting to get annoyed with Richard's constant talking.
"Of course sir." Alfred answered. He walked over to Dick and set a bottle of water down by the bike.
"Thanks Alfy!" Dick called from underneath his motorcycle.
"how do you say? No prob." Alfred said earning a laugh from the young boy. Dick had talked to Alfred about being more 'hip', but with his 'posh' british accent it didn't work quite right. Alfred left the room leaving a laughing Richard and smiling Bruce behind.
After a moment of silence Dick spoke. "So what you working on, Brucie?"
Bruce rolled his eyes at the improper grammar. "I'm just finishing the report for last night's mission."
The night before the two of them had stopped some of Black Mask's men from stealing an artifact from the Gotham Museum.
Robin had the bruises to prove it.
"I don't get why people would want to be criminals! It usually ends badly for them."
"Some people just don't want to work." Bruce picked up his coffee cup and turned in his chair to look at Dick.
"Well it seems to me that being a criminal is a lot more work than earning an honest living."
Bruce took a moment to just look at his son. he had grown so much since he took the boy in. Bruce didn't want to think about what would have happened if he did not adopt Dick. It would have been bad for the both of them.
Dick came out from under the bike. "Done!" He shouted in victory. He then grabbed his water bottle, when he looked up he saw Bruce looking at him with that strange fatherly smile he got every once in awhile.
"What?" Dick asked.
"Oh nothing." Bruce said and the smile disappeared as fast as it came.
Dick raised an eyebrow. "You get weirder every day." He said and took a drink from his bottle.
"With you around what else could happen?" Bruce said as he turned back to the computer.
"I'm not sure how to feel about that." Dick said.
'If I lost Dick nothing would be the same.' Bruce thought to himself. 'But that will never
happen.'
If only he knew what was coming.
So there you go! this chapter was just setting the feeling for the story.
I promise every chapter after this will be at least twice as long as this one was. =)
I hope you guys like this chapter and I hope you will like the chapters to come!
Because this chapter is so short and nothing really happened I will have the next chapter up with in the next few days.
I would like to apologize for any typos that I may have missed and for Bruce's OOCness.
Please review and follow this story!
