Hello. This is my first attempt at a fanfiction. It is from my OCs point of view. Sorry it is so short I will try to update regularly. Please leave reviews so I can make my story better.
Prologue
The Past
We were heading back to Gotham from Bludhaven after the final round of nationals for younger kids. I was bounding with joy, Dick and I had just broken the record for the youngest winners ever. This was impressive because we had each turned 9 last week and nationals were for 9-11 year olds. No one at the age of 9 won, until we came along. We were the youngest gold medal winners ever.
It was great having your best friend be your partner in gymnastics. The fact that nationals fell in place along with the Haley circus yearly summer break was enough of a miracle. It was hard almost never seeing your best friend, thanks goodness for summer break. We decided Dick would keep the trophy over the spring and summer, while I got the fall and winter.
As we sat I couldn't wait to tell my parents and my 14 year old brother, Luke. We arrived at my house and thanking Mrs. Grayson I got out of the car. I looked up and thought there was a flicker of flame in Luke's room. As I blinked it vanished and I thought I had just imagined it. I started to walk up the walkway, then my house exploded with a ghostly red and blue light.
I grabbed my gift from Mrs. Grayson, a small ladybug for while at nationals and clicked the 9-1-1 button. The next two hours were a blur of motion, and sound. The sirens wailing and the firefighters telling me to go across the street were loud but I barely heard them. I entered a state of shock as they searched. Luke's body was never found, and my parents were burnt so much I could barely recognize them.
I couldn't be true, they couldn't be gone. I was told I was lucky that I was not in the house but they were empty words. My family had been inside every single member of it. Dick refused to leave my side, I was grateful for the presence of someone familiar. No matter what I was told or what happened, one thought raced in circles around my head. I didn't want to voice it, but it was accurate as much as I didn't want it to be. They were gone, it was all gone, and I was alone. With this realization my green eyes filled with tears, and I cried.
