Chapter 2
Wednesday Night
"Hurry up will you! I don't want to be late for the show!" Wally shouts, he begins to pace around nervously running his hand through his bright red hair.
"Keep pacing like that and you'll wear a hole in the floor." Artemis remarks as she walks in.
"Sorry… I haven't heard from Robs in two days, normally if he goes on a secret mission he'll call at night but nothing!"
"Sorry? Wow you must be really worried."
"Who's sorry and who's worried?" Megan walks in with a skinny-strap shirt under a black leather jacket and a jean skirt with knee-high blue boots.
"Wally."
"Why don't you just call him?" Megan asks turning towards Conner fixing up invisible mistakes on his shirt.
"Hello-oMegan! Thanks babe." Wally takes out his cell and texts Robin.
Speedster: Yo, Rob u ok?
DG/RB: KF? How did u get this #?
Speedster: U gave it to me.
DG/RB: 0_0
Speedster: Why u no call?
DG/RB: Busy. Txt u l8tr
Speedster: Ok, but u better rembr
DG/RB ; P
"Just texted Rob, he said he would text later." Wally turns towards the group.
"You do know the meaning of call right Kid Genius?" Artemis glares at him.
"Texting is faster, and you know I do speed." Wally flirts back at her.
"Everyone is ready." Kaldur replies to the silent argument going on between Artemis and Wally.
"I'll connect us up so we don't have to talk out loud while in a crowd." Megan connects them.
"Everyone Online?"
"My mind is an open book to you sweet cheeks."
"Ugh Kid Flirt has struck again, I'm ready."
"Yes."
"I've been connected."
"Sure thing Megan."
"Ok everyone board the ship, ooh I'm so excited I can't wait to see what goes on at this circus!"
…
"Nervous?" Emilee turns to her partner who was pacing back and forth texting some unknown person.
"What? Oh, yea. It's just that last time I was doing this-"
"Your parents died, yea I know. Don't worry we've been practicing this for 2 days. We both know how to fall without dying and we are both amazing acrobats." She puts an arm on Dick's solder she catches a glimpse of the messages on his phone.
Speedster: Yo Rob u ok?
DG/RB: KF? How did u get this #?"
' I know DG stands for Dick Grayson, but why is this KF calling him Rob? What does RB stand for? Who is this KF? Who are those people? I wonder what Dick has to do with them.'Emilee thinks to herself.
"We'd better get into costume before the show starts." Dick turns to her and grins.
"Read my mind. On it." Dick runs off leaving Emilee to ponder what she had seen.
Haly's Circus Big Top
The show had been amazing, but now it was the last act, the act of all acts, the trapeze act. Wally, Artemis, Kaldur, Conner, Megan, and Zatanna were all in the front row of the circus watching the two acrobats fly high above them.. The boy let's go of the bar and does one… two… three… four… five! Yes five flips before grabbing onto the girls hands.
"WOW, folks you have seen it in only Haly's Circus, the first ever QUINTUPPLE FLIP!" The ringmaster cries out while the audience goes insane.
"Oh My Gods! He just did something that not even the Flying Grayson's could do!"
"Fan girl much?"
"Oh shut it Green Bean!"
"Stop fighting you're giving me a headache!"
"Sorry Megan."
"Wow, it's too bad Robin couldn't be with us, he would have loved to see that flip."
"Yes I agree, I hope our comrade hasn't gotten himself into to much trouble."*
Little did the group realize but Robin did know, he knew everything that had just happened.
"Ok folks before you leave there is one last surprise in this show, I'd like to introduce you to Richard Grayson, and Richard give a wave so everyone can see who you are." Everyone gasps as the boy who had performed that stunt high on the platform grins and waves to everyone. "There you have it folks, the legendary son of the Flying Grayson's agreed to come tonight to put on this special show for you all. Goodnight and Rest In Peace to the Graysons, we will always remember you." A moment of peace was issued while everyone silently mourned the Graysons.
"I know that boy, I believe he goes to my school."
"Wow, lucky, have you talked to him?"
"No, he's just an annoying freshman who took my picture on my first day."
"I wish Robin could have seen this I know he would have loved it."
"Indeed, we should congratulate the boy though, it looks like people are going in the ring to chat with him."
"Ok sure."*
The group gets out of their seats and heads over to the raven haired boy, he turns to them and they realize his eyes first- amazingly bright blue cerulean blue.
The boy holds out his hand and grins, "Hi, I'm Richard Grayson. Oh wow never thought I'd see you here at the circus Crock." He turns towards Artemis with a mischievous grin in his eyes.
"Yea, I didn't expect to see you here too Grayson." The two silently have a stand-off which of course Dick wins.
"Wow, I used to go to this circus when I was little, I'm a huge fan." Dick grins at Wally and shakes his hand.
"It's always a pleasure to meet fans."
"Great job today, you were amazing on the trapeze." Zatanna looks over at the boy, he laughs and turns towards her.
"It's always nice to get compliments from such a nice woman like yourself." Zatanna blushes, and realizes he has an accent.
"Your accent, where is it from?" She asks curious to find out.
"My accent is that from Romania, but I speak Romany it was my first language." He looks nervously at the group.
"Romany? Never heard of that one before, what country speaks it?" Megan had memorized different languages of Earth in her past time but Romany was never on any of them.
"Oh, it's not a country. Gypsies or Roma speak it, my father was from Romany heritage so he taught it to me."
"Dick we need your help packing up over here." A circus hand calls over to the boy, he nods goodbye to the group and runs off to join the team packing up huge crates.
"Nice meeting you guys."
"Bye!"
"Ugh, come on Rob call or text or contact us already!" Wally was staring at the table where his phone laid silent. He had been staring at it for 3 hours straight.
"Why don't I just talk to you in person?" Wally jumps up startled and sees Robin in his civvies standing behind him.
"ROBIN! GUYS ROBIN'S BACK!" Wally shouts, there is a flurry of noise various voices and eventually the entire team was there.
"Good to see you old friend." Kaldur was the first to greet the raven.
"Oh it is nice to see you, the circus was amazing! Dick Grayson was there he did-"
"Five flips I know." Robin says then realizing what he had just said mentally slaps himself. 'Idiot! Great, the show isn't even online yet and they know it. Man Batman is so going to kill me once my identity is so totally revealed.'
"How? The show isn't even online yet." Artemis says looking suspiciously at him.
"I was on patrol and decided to stop and see the show from a different point of view." Robin smirks and prides himself on the irony of the situation.
"How come we didn't see you?" Wally asks looking kind of hurt that his best friend and brother hadn't bothered to find them.
"I kept myself hidden in plain sight…" Robin trails off emphasizing that he wanted to change topics. Zatanna gets the message.
"The show was amazing, I'm glad you got to see it, so how did your mission go?" Zatanna looks at Robin who mouthed thank you to her with an extremely relieved look.
"Not the best it could have been, no information nothing at all. The clues kept leading me to dead ends."
"That sucks major dick for you." Conner says looking as sulky as ever.
"That's an interesting way of putting it, I could say the mission was deffinatly non-asterous. Oh wait got a phone call coming in," Robin holds up a finger to them and opens his phone. ", wait never mind it's a chat room message, sorry guys gotta take this. Talk with you later ok?" He leaves the room.
Chat Room Number 9
BG: Hey, how was the mission?
DG/RB: Fine. The team is getting suspicious though.
Bette: It's ok Robs, there will always be other missions.
DG/RB: I know that, man I dislike having so much homework!
BG: That's what you get when you're a super genius Dickey.
DG/RB: Someone by the name of Magic15 wants to join… I wonder who that is.
Bette: Let her join just use code words.
BG: Fine.
Magic15: Hey BG, long time no chat.
BG: Oh it's you!
DG/RB: Who is you?
BG: Friend.
Bette: School or your other job?
BG: Other
DG/RB: Would I know her?
Magic15: IDK your user name so most likely you don't know me.
BG: Yes you would know her.
Bette: Gotta log off my parents are going to kill me for my phone bill.
DG/RB: That's what you get for using your phone instead of a computer like the rest of the world.
BG: Bye! Dang now my dad is telling me to get off. G2g cya later DG.
Magic15: 20 questions to figure each other out?
DG/RB: If you're from my other job, then you probably already know who I am.
Magic15: Fine, it was nice chatting.
DG/RB: Yup, the chat was totally whelming.
Magic15: YOU?
Magic15: You just logged off didn't you?
Robin stares at the computer page grinning evilly, he turns his computer off and goes to sleep.
Ok so sorry if things confused you, DG/RB stands for Dick Grayson Robin Batman, and BG stands for Barbra Gordon or Batgirl whichever way you want to see it as. Bette was Batgirl so she knows Robin's I.D., at least in this story she does. On the show she doesn't. Magic15 well that's for you to guess. Give me your guesses and I'll answer them in the next chapter. Read and Review!
