So, this is not exactly how it all happened but, what the heck why not? Just trying to write a kind of different version of it, but it stays along the same lines… mostly. Well, PM me if you don't like this attempt!
"Richard! The show will start soon!" A beautifully accented voice called; that belonged to no one but Dick Grayson's mother.
Dick flipped off the top of the high dive with visible ease," Yes, mamika (All Romani words in italics will be translated at the end. K? Thanks!) I will be right there!"
Richard Grayson had a good life at the circus with the rest of his family: The Flying Graysons! They were the main event, the cream of the crop, overall; the best and most loved by the crowd. His life went smoothly until one horrific day. That day was today, just wait and see…
***************************** Twelve Minutes Later****************************
The ringmaster was in the center announcing the most beloved act of the day. "Up next we have the most amazing act of the circus! Ladies and gentleman put your hands together for The Flying Graysons!" The first Grayson to come flying out was Dick's mother and father, doing trapeze hand in hand. "Now, please welcome our youngest Grayson!" Dick came in doing a series of complicated bends and twists midair. The audience was captivated by how agile and quick the little boy was, they said," Ooooh…. Ahhh!"
Finally it was time for the elder Grayson's solo act, so little Dick climbed up into the rafters to watch; though he has seen it many times before in practice.
"We have two of the Flying Graysons doing their signature act; the super-risky, no net, gravity defying trapeze act!" The ring master announced. The audience held their breath and the tent became silent as a grave yard. There was no sound as the pair leapt from string to string, hand to hand. Suddenly, there was a loud *Snap!* and Dick's parents fell to the cold, hard, net less floor.
"Mamika! Tata!" Little Dick screamed as his parents hit the floor with a bone-cracking: *Bang!* There was a moment of stunned silence, then everyone but Gotham's Elite (who thankfully had come on their off day to see the act) ran off in different directions, aimlessly. But, not the multi-billionaire, leader of Wayne Enterprises, Bruce Wayne. He wanted to see what would happen to the currently horror struck, Richard Grayson. But, at the moment Dick cannot do a thing; he is just staring down at the blood pooling, broken bodies of his parents. His mother's words still rang in his ears from this morning," Good morning my little fiu. Never forget, we love you. Our brave Robin.
So, just a little emotional fluff, I would really appreciate getting some feedback, say you don't like it I probably will stop. You want a different POV in next chapter leave a review. Oh and guess what? For my birthday Annabeth97's parents bought me a ticket to go with them to 6 Flags! I have never been anywhere like that! I can't wait! But, it is on Sunday so I have to wait! Ugh…. Ok well... I forgot to translate: So mamika: mama. Tata: papa/ dada/daddy (you get the gist). And Fiu: Son. There you go! Thanks for reading! Please review!
