Okay, so this is my continuation of my one-shots! Now not all of them will be in this kind of format. Most of them will actually take up a whole chapter.

1. Second Nature

Have you ever stuck your finger into hot candle wax? Hurts, kinda. It stings and burns at the same time. It's just a weird sensation really. The first time Dick had done it he had found it quite amusing actually. That is until Alfred had caught him. It wasn't so bad, Alfred just didn't want the candle to get ruined. But no harm done.

Over the years the amount of wax in the candle started to dwindle. Ad it wasn't until the young acrobat was sixteen that he noticed that the label on the candle wasn't even written in English. It was written in Romanian. The young(ish) ward had been dumbfounded. How did he not notice. He'd read the label before. Maybe he just read it and translated it in his head while he was reading it.

Dick smiled at the thought. Great full that his native language till came so easy to him. Great full that he still had one of the few pieces of his parents left. And that he'd never forget it.

2. Little Brothers

The fact that Dick spoke many different languages was well known in the Wayne household. He loved to learn new languages and explore different cultures. So when a curse in Danish echoed around the manor, it was generally ignored. However it didn't take a genius to realize that the Golden Boy was more comfortable speaking and reading in one language in particular.

Although Jason met Dick first, both Tim and Damian figured it out in less time then he did. Although when the new Robins each first met Dick he was bubbly and welcome, but it took a bit to figure out the second language thing. Jason had once considered teasing the first Robin by calling him an ESL he wisely chose against it.

After figuring out the language and confronting the older boy it took some time to get a back story out of him, but in the end each little brother knew it was worth it.

3. Nightmares

Dicks nightmares were common knowledge to the bat family, and although they all got nightmares, Dick had them the most, and thankfully sometimes they weren't the worst. Most of his nightmares involved his family, some about his parent and their death, and others about his bat-family and the villains they faced.

More common knowledge in the bat-family manor was that if, and when ever he cried out at night, it was in Romanian. Many years ago, when Bruce had first adopted Dick, he took it upon him self to learn Romanian. Alfred knew a little. Common basics like "Need some help" or "Are you hungry" and had used them a bit when Dick first arrived. Jason never really bothered. However he was familiar with the odd curse word that the eldest ward would utter from now and then. Tim was much like Alfred when it came to his eldest brothers second language, although he did know a bit more and did study the culture for a day or two. Damian however, was a very different story than his other brothers. He took it upon him self to learn everything. Even went so far as to travel to Romania and test out his skills.

Needless to say that the youngest Wayne's soft spot for his older brother sometimes made him go for the extremes. Also his need to impress him and ambush him with conversations in Romanian were quite the sight for the old butler, and for Bruce too. And although Dick would never admit it, their conversations never got old.


So, you like? I hope you do because I actually really liked writing these and am going to do more! R&R
