Little Brother Ch10: Dick's First Christmas at Wayne Manor PT3
Third Person's P.O.V.
It was Saturday, the day of the big Christmas party. Damian was heading to Dick's room at ten in the morning to tell him that they were going to have a brother bonding day as Steph had put it. He knocked on the wooden door and it opened to reveal the nine year old boy holding a book labeled Beyonders.
"Hi Dami," Dick greeted.
"Grayson, I was wondering if you would like to have a brother bonding day with me?"
"Sure! Just let me get my coat and boots on."
Dick went back into his room to grab his coat while Damian started to head down the stairs. When he started pulling on his water proof snow boots, Dick came running down in a dark blue thick sweater with secret bullet proof padding on the inside. Damian zipped up his dark green one, which also had the padding, and Dick grabbed his black boots and slipped them on. Damian opened the door and they walked out into the cold. The snow was at least three feet tall and the Bats were lucky to have strings on the top of their boots which if they tightened them, no snow could get in their boots.
"Can we go watch The Griswold's Christmas Vacation?" Dick asked as they came upon the movie theater.
"Sure, but don't tell Bruce or he will kill us for sure," Damian said and they walked over to the ticket stand.
"May I help you?" The teenage boy asked from behind the glass.
He looked totally bored and didn't really care who he gave the tickets out to.
"Two ticket's to 'A Christmas Vacation'," Damian said.
"Three dollars please."
Damian handed the money to the guy and he handed them the tickets. After buying a medium sized popcorn, they took some seats in one of the middle rows of the theater. Two minutes later, the lights dimmed and the movie began. When the movie ended, they stepped out into the cold once again.
"Since it's lunch time can we get something to eat?" Dick asked.
"We'll go to the little café around the corner," Damian began walking and Dick followed.
Both of them ordered hot cocoa and two slices of pizza each. After that they headed to the park where they made a snowman taller than both of them, which took about an hour. At Gotham Academy, they were having a pet show where the pets did tricks and they had an obedience part too. They were having last minute sign-ups to anyone who wanted to take a chance at winning. The prize was you and your dog on the front page of tomorrow's paper, a trophy, a ribbon to put on the winning dog's collar, a picture of you and your dog on the front of all pet magazines, and two boxes of limited addition Christmas dog treats.
"If only we had Ace," Dick said but then his face lit up like a Christmas light," We can call Alfred and have him drop him off!"
"Ace and I have never been the spotlight type," Damian said but then Dick let out his famous puppy-dog eyes and Damian pulled out his cellphone," Pennyworth, we need you to drop off Ace at Gotham Academy. Dick wants to enter him in a pet competition."
"Thanks Alfred!" Dick yelled since Damian wouldn't let him have the phone.
Damian hung up a minute later and said,
"He said you're welcome."
Dick had a big smile on his face. When Alfred drove up, Dick went up to the door and opened it. Ace jumped out with his leash attached to his collar and put his paws up on Dick's shoulder and began to lick the small boy's face.
"Down boy, down," Dick said and the Great Dane did as he was told.
Alfred drove off and they went to sign up. The brown haired lady smiled when they came up.
"You guys signing up for the competition?"
"Yep," Dick said.
"Well, here's the paperwork. Once you fill that out, I'll give you a number for your dog and you two and you can go right inside."
Damian filled out the paper and the lady then handed them their number, 10. After going to the gym, they went to where all the other contestants were. There was a Golden Retriever, two Pit Bulls one white one brown, two Pomeranians both a cream color, a Shih Tzu which was gray and white, a Chihuahua light brown, a brown Lab, and a Dachshund dark brown. All of them looked to be well trained, except for the Chihuahua, who was running around its owner and barking when the owner told it to stop. They waited ten minutes and one of the judges, a man with greying hair, stood up and everything went silent.
"The show will now start and we would like if you take your seat."
Everybody sat down in the bleachers and the man sat back down in his own seat.
"We will first start off with the obedience round. Contestant number 1 please come over to the performance area. This is Mary with her dog Treasure."
A woman with the Golden Retriever walked into the fenced in area in front of the judges table. The lady who was at the sign up table walked into the area with a wireless microphone.
"First I'll be doing some complicated commands with the dog and then the owner will do some simple ones," the lady said and turned to Treasure who was currently standing," Roll over."
The dog did exactly what she was told.
"Play dead."
The dog instantly rolled onto its side with a pleading look on its face. The lady grabbed a toy off the ground and threw it.
"Fetch."
Treasure ran, grabbed the toy, and came back, dropping the toy at the judge's feet.
"Good, now it's Mary's turn."
The microphone was handed off to Mary.
"Sit Treasure. Now lie down and now beg."
Treasure did every command and the crowd applauded. Treasure and Mary went to where they were standing before.
"Now it's time for Contestant number 2 which is Aaron and his Dachshund Hershey."
The only ones who didn't make to the next round were the brown Pit Bull, one Pomeranian, and the Chihuahua. Now it was the obstacle course round. This looked like the course Ace ran when he first started out crime fighting. The dog first had to run a couple feet and crawl through a tunnel, then they walk across a very thin board where one step could send them falling off the short distance onto the pad below. After that were two hurdles and then three hoops. The dogs only had ten minutes to finish. All of the dogs were lined up at the starting line. The white Pit Bull growled at Ace and Ace growled back, showing he wasn't going to back down. The Pit Bull cowered a bit but they both got into position.
"Ready, set, go!" the man said and blew an air horn.
All of the dogs took off to the tunnel. The tunnels had been put according to the dogs' size so it was fair. Ace was use to this obstacle course so he was the first one out of the tunnel and up on the bar.
"Take your time Ace!" Dick yelled from the sidelines.
When Ace got off, most of the other dogs were half way across. Ace ran and jumped over all the hurdles. He didn't stop running in the short area between the hurdles and hoops and jumped through all of the hoops in one leap and doing a flip through the last one, landing perfectly like Dick had been training him to do down in the Bat Cave.
"Good job Ace!" Dick yelled as he ran up to the big dog and gave him a hug around the neck.
The dog gave a lick in the face in return, making the crowd 'aw'. Ace looked at Damian and the Bat rubbed the dog's head, something he never did. In second place came the Pit Bull, third the Dachshund, fourth was the Golden Retriever, fifth was the Lab, and sixth was the Shih Tzu.
"Wow, wasn't that flip by Ace amazing? The judges have talked it over and Ace the Great Dane, Razor the Pit Bull, and Hershey the Dachshund will be moving to the final round!" the judge that hadn't spoken yet, an eighteen year old blonde boy, said.
"Dami! We're moving on!" Dick exclaimed and hugged Damian.
"What is it with you and so much physical contact?"
The crowd had 'awed' again from seeing the hug. Damian blushed and patted Dick's head a couple times as a signal to get off. Dick let go and led Ace back to where the rest of the competitors were while Damian went to get a drink of water on the opposite side of the gym. Dick sat down on a bench and was rubbing the top of Ace's head and nobody noticed the owner of the Pit Bull go over to the water fountain where Damian was. The owner looked like some normal biker. He had a handkerchief on the top of his head which had a pair of sunglasses resting on that, he wore a white tank top under a black leather jacket, a pair of blue jeans with chains hanging off them, black fingerless gloves, and big combat boots.
"Hey kid," he said and Damian turned around, wiping his mouth on his sleeve.
"Yes?"
"I noticed how you and that other kid are wards of Bruce Wayne. And that dog of yours has had some training. Did you have some special trainer do it?"
"Maybe we did. Why do you need to know?"
"'Cause you're winning because of it. I will hurt what was his name, Dick? Yes, if you don't tell me, when I get the chance, I will hurt him. Got it?"
"I wouldn't let you lay a finger on him."
"And what are you gonna do about it short stop?"
"You want to see what I could do?"
"All of the contestants please return to your spots."
The two sent glares at each other and walked back to their places. The biker shuddered from the glare Damian had sent him.
"What was that about Dami?"
"Nothing you need to worry about Grayson."
Dick was just about to say something when the man with the Razor the Pit Bull was called up to do the most unique trick you can do with your dog. The man and the Razor did Leap Frog, Aaron and Hershey did a Cops and Robber scene. Now it was Dick's and Ace's turn on the balance beam. Dick had changed into a pair of tight black spandex tights, a tight light blue t-shirt that showed off the muscles from being on the trapeze, and black pixie boots. Ace headed to one end of the beam while Dick went to the other. They both leapt on the bar at the same time. Ace did a cartwheel while Dick leapt over him and they did it again except vice versa. They did a bunch of other tricks and then started the finale. Dick sat on Ace's back and when Ace started to stand on his back legs, Dick shifted to a standing position on his shoulders. Dick switched to a handstand and then a one handed handstand.
"Ok boy, time for the flip," Dick whispered into Ace's ear.
Ace gently nodded and went into a standing position and then bucked like a horse bucking Dick into the air. Ace sat down on the balance beam. Dick did three flips in the air and then landed right next to Ace with his arms out and a big smile on his face. Everybody applauded and some even stood up.
"We haven't seen a performance like that in years! Now the judges will count up the scores and in five minutes, we'll reveal them to you!" the lady said and walked back to the judges' table.
"I'm gonna head to the bathroom," Dick said and began walking off but Ace started following him," You have to stay boy."
Ace whined and looked at Dick with big brown puppy-dog eyes.
"Oh alright."
Ace let out a puppy like bark and followed Dick with a wagging tail. Damian was sitting and saw Hershey dancing around Aaron and it reminded him of when Dick would dance around him to get his attention. Loud gunshots came from the front of the school. Immediately, people went into a panic and dogs began barking. Damian managed to sneak off to the bathroom and found Dick prying off a panel to the roof where their uniforms were hiding. He handed Damian his uniform and then grabbed his and Ace's. After they were all dressed, they headed back to the gym through the air vents. People were down on their knees while the dogs were tied to one of the benches.
"Where are the Wayne kids?" the thug that seemed to be the leader asked.
"I can't find them anywhere."
"Maybe somebody saw them walk off. Interrogate everybody and make it quick before the Bats shows up."
The five thugs quickly went around asking and when the leader came to the owner of Razor, he squealed like a pig.
"I saw one of them head to the bathroom with his dog."
"Check the bathroom!" the leader yelled and turned back to the man," Did you see where the other one went?"
"No."
"One will be enough."
The three thugs that went searching in the bathroom came back a couple minutes later empty handed.
"Where is he?"
"Nobody was in the bathroom. I'm thinkin' they escaped when we all came in here."
"Well this was a waste of time. Are there any other important people in here?"
"None that I can see sir."
"Then let's leave."
They heard a loud bang come from the hallway from outside the gym.
"Burly, Jim, Alex, go check it out."
The three thugs left. They heard a couple gun shots, growls, barks, and yelps from a human, but then everything went silent.
"It's the Bats sir!"
"I'm getting out of here."
The two thugs were about to run out through the other exit door but then Robin and Ace jumped in and kicked the thug in the head, leaving him unconscious for a while. Robin kicked the gun away for good measure. The leader thug cowered but tried to look brave. Redwing (Damian) snuck up behind the leader thug and knocked him out and also kicked his gun away. Redwing went to go untie the people while Robin did the dogs but during the fight, nobody noticed the biker guy manage to free himself of the ropes and sneak up behind Robin while he was untying Hershey. Robin felt a strong hand clasp around his throat from behind and the airway cut off. Redwing heard Robin's choking sounds and turned around glaring at what he saw. Ace had been untying other people and instantly growled when he saw the man holding Robin's throat.
"Any of you make a move and I snap this little birdie's neck."
Since Redwing had his cloak around him, he was able to reach inside his utility belt and press a button, which would signal to Bruce's cellphone and the Bat Computer. This man was in for it.
"It's not every day that you manage to sneak up on Robin and just snatch him up by the neck."
Robin looked like he was going to pass out soon if he didn't get any air and his face was red, starting to go blue.
"Drop him," Redwing growled and Ace growled too.
"Now why would I do that?"
Flash and Kid Flash sped into the room and looked horrified when they saw Robin about to pass out.
"Put him down," KF said started vibrating.
Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and Green Lantern flew in through a sky light. Green Arrow, Speedy, Aquaman, and Aqualad came in through the exit door behind the man. The only one missing now was Batman.
"Well, where's Batman? Does he not care about this brat?"
That was when the sky light was smashed and in came Batman, Red Hood (Jason), Oracle (Barbara), Batgirl (Cass), Spoiler (Steph), and Red Robin (Tim).
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Batman himself. And it looks like you got the whole Justice League here too. Didn't know this brat was so important."
"Bat, man," Robin managed to say before he passed out and fell completely limp.
"Finally the brat quits struggling. I was about to knock him out myself. Batman, if you don't want anything to happen to this little bird of yours, you better let me pass with my dog and your little bird."
Batman gave a small nod and everybody looked at him like he was crazy. The man went to go untie his dog and while he was turned around, Batman took out an instant tranquilizer dart and shot the man in the neck, making him instantly fall to the ground and let go of Robin. Everybody quickly rushed over. Flash was holding the kid while Batman got hand cuffs on the guy. Flash checked Robin's pulse but didn't find one.
"I can't find a pulse."
"His heart must've slowed with no oxygen. Some people can do it to play dead but others can't. Give him a minute and his heart will go back to normal."
"I can hear his heartbeat. It's back to normal," Superman said.
Flash passed the small bird off to Batman and the little bird gripped onto his uniform tightly.
"Let's get back to my cave."
