Chapter 4
So then we went up and he wanted to talk about what I saw and I said, "You're the Dark Knight, the world's greatest detective, the Batman. That's you!" I yelled excitedly.
"Yes and it's a large part of why you haven't been seeing me. I don't want your childhood to be filled with revenge like mine was."
"You're going after Zucco. No! That's for me he needs to get what's coming to him."
"It's late. We'll talk about this in the morning."
As he walked away I said "Late for Bruce Wayne early for the Batman."
I went to the batcave and said "If I find Batman I find Zucco."
I hit a button and a beacon popped up right where the circus is. So I said "The circus but I can't go dressed like this."
Then I remembered Bruce's mask and my costume my mom made and knew I had my costume. When I got there Bruce was tied up to the knife thrower's wheel and Zucco was about to throw the last one at his face, but I cut a sand bag that stopped and jumped down.
Zucco said, "So even Batman has family cute."
Then we started to fight but he hit one of my nerves saying "didn't your parents teach you any manors." That's where he got the upper hand and knocked me out. When I woke up Zucco was climbing the plat form I got up high to just in case and I just got a rope when he started to fall. So I swung and got him and put him back on the platform and shared a look with the Batman.
We were standing in front of my family's poster and Batman said "I thought you wanted Zucco to get what was coming to him."
"Well he did. Didn't he? Justice."
"You know Dick I don't think Bruce has the ability to raise you properly."
"Yeah I kind of noticed that he's never around. But if not Bruce Wayne what about the Batman?"
He looked away and said, "We'd have to give you a name."
I thought and then my eyes went wide and I grabbed the R on my chest and said "How about Robin?"
"Like the bird?"
"It's a family name."
And then I truly felt at home I could do some good and I could make my parents proud as well as bond with my new dad. Even if he can be stubborn sometimes, but then again so can I. I just need to tell him about my powers.
