Gotham Academy is an all age prep-school. It's associated with many colleges. When the students graduate from there they are guaranteed access to higher education.

Bruce went there as a kid and sends all his kids there now. He has many scholarship programs for students who want to attend but can't afford the yearly fees and uniforms. He also pays for Stephanie, Harper, and Cullen to attend, as well as any Wayne industries employees.

Jason is in mostly the same classes as Dick because they are only a few months different in age, but they don't hang around the same people. Dick is in the mathletes and hangs out with the athletes even though he never joined a team. Jason on the other hand slacks off. Bruce would have his head if he ever ditched, but he hangs out with the slackers and punks of the school. He wanted to go to public school but Bruce insisted on Gotham Academy with its stupid uniform that Jason always untucks.

Tim and Stephanie are in almost all classes together. Other than a few AP classes that only Tim takes with Harper and Dick. Cass takes independent studies in the library and has a tutor monitor her progress. She usually hangs around with Tim, Steph, and Harper.

Damian and Cullen are in the same grade and agents all odds are best friends. Damon witnessed some bullies calling Cullen a fag and beat the shit out of all of them. Since then they became friends and Cullen opened more and started enjoying school.

Sometimes Bruce will let the older kids take their cars if they take the younger ones with them. Today they were all in a rush so Alfred insisted on driving them. They picked up Harper and Cullen with the limo. It was embarrassing. Everyone knew they were the kids of the richest man on earth, but when huge limo stops at the front of the school it feels like all eyes are on them. Some of the students were jealous, some were in awe, and some got angry.

When Dick first started going to Gotham Academy the students teased him. The teasing stopped once Jason joined him and started punching anyone who said anything. By the time Tim and Cass came along the school was used to their presence.

…

Bruce greeted them all when they got home from school. They went to the living room and started talking about their day.

After they ate lunch they all went to the Zoo. Bruce told Dick that if he wasn't going to tell him anything about the concert he wants aloud to go. The trip to the Zoo like any Wayne and company outing was eventful, to say the least.

Jason and Tim fought over who was going to feed the giraffes first. Stephanie had to point out every monkey in a compromising position. Harper kept making animal noises embarrassing Cullen and Damian. Bruce had to convince Damian that the animals are healthy and Damian was not allowed to release them. Dick stuck to the back arms crossed and glared at Bruce most of the time, although Bruce did see him smile when he got to pet the elephants.

Eventually, news got around about Waynes at the zoo and the entrance was full of paparazzi. They were trying to get an interview which Bruce does scarcely.

Dick was tailing behind his family. The paparazzi took advantage of the gap and got between him and his family. They surrounded him and were yelling questions over one another. Dick could feel himself panic but willed himself to breathe. How would he prove to Bruce that he could take care of himself if he had a panic attack because of the stupid paparazzi.

"Move!" He tried to push through them but was shoved back.

Suddenly a hand came through and grabbed his arm dragging him through the wall of yelling people. Dick looked up panicked then relaxed when he noticed it was Jason.

Jason shoved Dick behind him and glared at everyone. They all took a few steps back. Jason grabbed Dick by the arm and lead him to the car. Bruce was waiting for his two boys ready to intervene if necessary.

Dick was older than Jason and had more experience with paparazzi. He should be the one saving Jason from them not the other way around.

Dick yanked his arm from his brother's grasp "I had it" he mumbled to Jason who snorted.

"Sure you did Dickie" Jason teased.

…

They got back to the manor after dropping Stephanie, Harper, and Cullen off at their own homes. They got ready for bed and start their homework. Bruce usually sat in his study and did work while everyone piled in and did their homework. Jason was laying on the floor with a book in front of him kicking his legs. Damian sat upright next to the desk scribbling math equations, Cassandra was in the corner of the room with earphones in having already finished her work, and Tim was on the loveseat leaning on the side reading ahead of the class.

Bruce's study was perfect for everyone to do their work and ask Bruce if they needed help with any problems. It was probably one of the only peaceful times in the manor, other than when everyone was asleep. Dick had locked himself in his room after the trip and had yet to be seen.

Bruce was finishing up his paperwork when he got an alert on his phone that one of the windows in the manor had been opened. Bruce got up when he noticed it was Dicks room. There have been a lot of kidnappings throughout the years. Dick holds the most on record. Bruce had installed crazy security in the manor after the first kidnapping.

Bruce opened the door to Dicks room. Dick was gone and Bruce started to internally freak out. He noticed the note on Dicks bed that said 'going out tonight'

Bruce slammed the door cursing 'That kid is going to get himself killed'

"He ran away didn't he?" Jason asked. He had snuck up on Bruce, who almost jumped out of his skin.

"I think I know where he was going." Jason said sounding unsure of himself. He didn't want to be a snitch but he also didn't want his idiot brother getting hurt.
