I'm so sorry about the really late update:( BUT! Look I updated before 2015 ^.^ and I'm updating most of my stories rather regularly now:D I have a schedule:) Sort of ... Not really... But I'm trying! Anyways... I'll try to update regularly for awhile, even though school's starting... I'll try to update on the weekends or something:) I will eventually finish my stories! Hopefully.

"The living plastic are trying to overthrow the human race and either enslave you or destroy you. Most likely the latter of those two, seeing as the whole galaxy knows how stubborn your species can be." The Doctor paused in his explanation to raise an eyebrow at the boy before him. The kid looked like he was trying to solve a complex math problem. "Do you understand? Better, yet, do you believe me?"

The raven haired boy seemed to give up on his math problem and smiled innocently at the mysterious man. "No and no."

The Doctor Batman scoffed. "But you're still listening aren't you?"

Shrugging innocently, still smiling, the boy looked so innocent and blissfully ignorant, it really annoy the Batman.

Look at him, with his cheerful ignorant bliss and his stupid smile, the Batman thought, I just want to smack that stupid grin off his demonic little face. Stupid children. Why did I adopt him again? Oh, right, sympathy, ugh.

"Anyways, you know when you were young and the first time they say that the world's turning, you can't quite believe them because everything looks like it's standing still?" Dick nodded, a spark of understanding flashed in his eyes. Maybe the kid's not completely hopeless. "I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour. The entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty-seven thousand miles an hour. I can feel that."

The Doctor Batman stared directly into Dick's eyes as he continued. "We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go..."

Silence fell around them as the Doctor's words sunk in.

"That's who I am. Now, go wait with the ringmaster and Alfred will be there to pick you up later, okay? I have business to attend to." The Batman turned and walked off towards an old grandfather clock that sat in the middle of a clearing in the woods.

Dick grumbled but began walking away to go find Wally when he heard a strange noise coming from where the Doctor had been. He ran back towards where he'd last seen the Doctor but the grandfather clock was gone.

...

After wandering around the circus for thirty minutes, Dick finally found Wally West, who was trying to get the world's strongest man to make him pancakes.

"Hey," Dick said as he walked towards the boy. The redheaded boy stopped talking instantly to look at the dark haired acrobat. "You came by to check on me earlier?"

The kid practically tackled Dick in a hug. "Yeah! I'm glad you're okay! I thought you blew up, which would've sucked! Hey, you wanna get Pancakes with me? By the way, my name's Wally West!"

Dick just stared at the boy for a solid minute before slowly nodding his head.

After spending twenty minutes trying to convince the ringmaster he would be safe outside the circus, and another forty minutes of Wally promising Dick that he wouldn't die in the city, they arrived at an IHOP.

It was the first restaurant Dick had ever actually been in. The menu showed so many different kinds of pancakes, Dick was suffering from an overload of choices. How can there be so many pancakes? Blueberry, strawberry... I don't even know what that flavor is but look at it! It has a smiley face made of fruit! But that one's cool looking and that one has strawberries and bananas but... He had to stop thinking before his brain exploded.

Wally was staring at him expectantly. Apparently, he already knew what he wanted as he had set his menu off to the side for the waitress.

"I... I..." Dick stammered.

With a chuckled, Wally winked at him. "Don't worry, my acrobatic friend, I'll order for you."

Dick tried to hide his blush with his menu. "Th...thanks."

Wally ordered them both the pancakes with the smiley face, which made Dick squeal with delight. Dick looked like a kid on Christmas morning, all excited and cheerful, it made Wally's grin spread from ear to ear.

As they ate, Dick told Wally about how Bruce Wayne was planning to adopt him. Wally was in the midst of drinking his orange juice, when he heard the news he did a spit take. Luckily, he didn't spray anyone, but he did anger one of the waitresses as she had to mop up the mess on the floor.

"BRUCE WAYNE?" the redhead shouted incredulously. The young acrobat just stared wide eyed at his crush. "THE BRUCE WAYNE? MILLIONAIRE BRUCE WAYNE? OWNER OF WAYNE ENTERPRISES BRUCE WAYNE?" A slight nod from the surprised acrobat went unnoticed by the shocked redhead. "THAT'S SO COOL! My uncle knows him! OH! That means we'll be going to the same school! Mr. Wayne owns the school I go to, so, you'll definitely be going there. Most likely. I hope so. That'd be cool. Do you like your pancakes?"

The boy before him had caused Dick to become speechless... again. He's so cute when rambles. Wait, did he ask me a question? I don't know. Maybe. I'll just nod.

And so he nodded. The redhead's smile grew even bigger and he looked so proud of himself, it made Dick smile, too.

Before either could say anything else, a Latina woman walked to there table.

"Did you say Bruce Wayne?" she looked Dick in the eyes with such intensity he shrunk in his seat. Dick barely managed a nod. "Be careful, kid. Here."

The woman handed him a business card that read:

RENEE MONTOYA
Detective, Major Crimes Unit
Gotham Police Department

At the bottom, was an address.

"Come see me if you have questions about him." The woman turned to walk away, but she looked at the young orphan over her shoulder. "You should know more about that man before you do anything. He's not who he says he is."

"What do you mean?" Dick's eyes narrowed as he watched the woman.

The woman didn't reply as she turned and left the restaurant after placing a tip on the table beside the boys' table.

Wally just stared at the where the woman had been, he was thoroughly confused. "Well, that was weird."

Dick ignored the boy as he stared at the door of the IHOP.

Does she know about the Doctor Batman? Could she explain the insanity of the night before or, at least, the insanity of Doctor Batman?

Anywho, please review:) I always love reviews whether they're good reviews or constructive criticism I don't care:D 'Til next time dear readers!
