this is a series of one shots that will be moments in jimmy's life

My names jimmy and I was only six when I got my first taste of how cruel the real world can be because I…i witnessed the murder of my dad at the hands of a masked man who wore a strangely similar outfit to my dads

My dad was a brilliant scientist and an amazing hero too…he was the flash, a hero and an amazing father who did not deserve to be gunned down by some coward copy cat flash but I digress.

I was about to join my dad in death when from what I can remember, a girl cladded in a purple and black outfit had jumped through my bedroom window and taken down the intruder before I could be hurt by the gunfire. All I could do at that moment was cry but I remember hearing the girl speak into a phone.

"Oracle, we have a problem here! I turned up seconds too late and he was murdered but his son survived what should I do?" is all that I remember of what she said as I tried to wake my dad up not knowing he was already dead.

After what felt like hours I realized my dad was not going to wake up, so I settled for laying my head on my dads chest crying my bright blue eyes out, the hand of the young girl who saved me was placed on my shoulder

"hey kid we have to go now" she softly said to me as she carried me out of my home "what about my daddy I ever see him again?" I asked the girl, she smiled and replied warmly "listen to me kiddo, you will always be able to see them in your dreams I promise you" "I'm Helena what's your name kiddo?" she suddenly asked me "Jimmy Allen" was my reply as she started running across the roof tops as I fell asleep in her embrace.

"What the hell do you mean he can't stay here dad!? It is not even your clock tower!" Helena practically screamed into the phone as she paced around the lounge room of the clock tower, fuming.

"Still that maybe so Helena but he knows your name and I cant have that type of risk in Gotham Helena! Especially a risk like that around my daughter" and with that Bruce had ended the call.

"Helena? What was all that shouting?" Barbra asked as she moved her wheel chair into the room "Bruce says Jimmy can't stay with us "because he knows my name" god who is he to talk!?He has the grandchild of that damned demon living with him and he is a damn trained assassin!" she spat out venomously "but what risk can a 4 year old little boy who just witnessed his dad and brother being gunned down pose?" she asked the red haired lady as Helena ran her hands through her hair "to hell with Bruce for once, he can stay here" she stated as she yawned "speaking of the boy, where is he?" she asked Helena

"I put him in a spare room, he was exhausted" she answered as she pulled out 2 cans of beer and passed her one "men" both the women scoffed as they began drinking the beverages. However both women were disrupted from there drinking when they heard jimmy crying.

Helena was instantly at the bedroom door, swinging it open "hey what's wrong? She warmly asked the weeping child as she picked him up

"I… saw daddy get hurt again…I couldn't do anything to stop him" he said barely above a whisper as tears rolled down his cheeks "let me tell you something when I was a little bit older then you I saw my parents being killed by bad men and I felt so useless, I always use to think about if I just had been braver I could have saved them both but I hadn't been, so I promise I will keep you safe Jimmy " she said as she just held him to her chest and let him cry out his tears.

Soon the child was sleeping peacefully once more.

(1 hour later)

i walked out of the bedroom and towards the lounge emotionally drained "What happened in there?"

Barbra, who had a very concerned look on her face asked me "He had a nightmare and I held him till he fell asleep I told him my past and how I couldn't save my parents as well, I want to adopt him Barbra I cant let this sweet boy go into the foster system I couldn't live with myself if I did" I told her as she just looked stunted but also very proud "Bruce isn't going to like this but then again he doesn't really like anything".

"You can say that again" my fathers voice growled out as Barbra and I turned to see him standing in the main doorway "what do you want dad?" I asked him not to happy to see him "I want that kid put into child services, he is to much of a risk to you Helena" my father calmly replied as something in me just snapped "that kid is not getting put into child services!" I told him and began pacing in the room "you more then anyone should know why I wont do that dad" I said to him as I sat down on the couch. "I understand Helena but he knows who you are and now he knows where you base is so he is too danger" he told me quietly as a young voice interrupted both of us

"I…I promise I wont tell, please don't send me away" I turned my head to see jimmy standing in the hallway entrance "I wont ever be sending you away jimmy, you and me….we are like the same" I reassured the boy as he had tears threating to run down his face and pulled him into my embrace.

"Helena! You cant be serious this kid is dangerous!" Bruce exclaimed looking like his head was about to explode "who the hell are you to talk Bruce? You have a damn trained assassin living with you and not only that you didn't know he existed! So who the damn hell do you think you are? You have no choice in this matter because this isn't your responsibility he is mine because I am adopting him so back off right now dad!" I shouted at the man while kind of letting the cat out of the bag about the adoption "you don't mind if I adopt you jimmy?" I asked the little bundle of blonde joy

"No! I never had a mummy!" he exclaimed and hugged my neck "this grumpy old man is your grand dad" I said to jimmy as he looked genuinely happy and looked at Bruce with his bright cerulean eyes that could make death stroke turn good, I heard Bruce sigh "I'm not happy with this Helena, but if you can promise me you will never tell anyone who Helena is I will trust you" Bruce said as he looked at jimmy and couldn't help smile at the young boys grin "I've got to go now, be good the both of you" he said as he walked out of the clock tower.
