Livy looked at the clown in front of her apprehensively. He had bright red hair and his face was smudged with bright blues and greens.
All the kids reveled the circus, especially when it came to the clowns, but Livy wasn't liking it one bit.
"Hey there kiddo." laughed the clown happily and Livy squeezed her older brother's hand tightly in fear.
To most people, Livy looked to be a little girl that was pure and ingenuous, but that wasn't so. Ever since she found out that her brother was one of Batman's robins, she learned very early in life how the world really was. Unfortunately after her run in with Joker, she also had a fear of clowns.
Her older brother, Jason, shot the clown a look, almost to tell him to try to make another kid laugh and to lay off bothering his sister. The clown quickly got the message and walked jollily over to the next child. Damian Wayne.
Damian looked at the clown with apathy, and despite his best efforts, the clown couldn't get Damian to even smirk. Damian easily stultified the clown with one unamused look, and the clown skipped off, but lost some of the spirit in his step.
"You two are kids, you should be enjoying the circus." Dick stated with a frown, looking down at Livy and Damian.
"Tt. This is mere Childs Play." Damian retorted. Livy was silent, and Dick looked at her in quandary. She was never this quiet.
"Livy, what's wrong?" Dick inquired.
"She doesn't like the clowns." Jason answered for her.
"You're such a baby Livy. They are just obsolete clowns. They can't do a single thing to you." Damian derided.
"Peek-a-boo kiddo!" exclaimed a clown, popping up next to Livy. She shrieked in fear and hugged Jason tightly. Jason rubbed her back trying to condole her, and looked up at the clown.
"Beat it." he growled and the clown quickly did so.
~~~~gjhgm,mvvmh~~~~~
"Lets bring the kids to the circus. Best plan ever. Yeah right!" exclaimed Jason as he hopped onto his motorcycle, handing Livy her helmet.
"Hey, I enjoyed it as a kid." stated Dick defensively, as he and Damian were getting into the limo.
"Yeah, considering the fact that you grew up in one! I mean, that was basically your child hood." explained Jason.
"Look, we'll talk more about it once we get back to the manor, alright?" Dick sighed as he got into the car. Jason grumbled, but revved up the motorcycle.
~~~~gjm,gvbmjg~~~~~~~~~~~
Alfred smiled as the four of the circus goers walked into the house. He was wearing his suave tuxedo as he always did.
"I trust that the four of you enjoyed the circus." he smiled. There was an unnerving silence between the four that then told him otherwise. The silence was broken by Livy's small voice saying,
"I think some of those clowns were rapists." Jason, Dick, and Alfred stared at the six-year-old in shock.
"Livy! Where did you learn that word!" Dick exclaimed, and she simply pointed her finger at Damian.
"DAMIAN!" Jason exclaimed in anger. Damian simply shrugged.
"She was going to hear the word sooner or later."
"She's six!" Dick yelled.
"So? I'm ten." Damian retorted.
"You don't count! You're childhood is already screwed up, we don't want that to happen to Livy!" Jason exclaimed.
"Jason, she's living with us. The moment we found out that you were her brother, he childhood was screwed." Damian chuckled. Dick gave Damian a disappointed glare.
"Damian, don't say things like that. Now go up to your room." Dick stated calmly. Damian rolled his eyes, and climbed up the stairs.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." he muttered.
Jason turned to Alfred and stated,
"Can you get Livy cleaned up and ready for bed? Dick and I are going on patrol." he stated, and the butler nodded his head.
"Good night Livy." Jason smiled, kissing her cheek.
"Night Jason." she grinned back, and kissed his cheek as well.
"Come along little miss." Alfred smiled, and Livy followed him to get ready for bed.
~~~~hdkjcfdjsf~~~~~~~
"Alfred, can you tell me a bed time story?" she inquired as the butler tucked her into the bed.
"Only if you promise me you will go straight to sleep." he grinned, and Livy nodded her head vigorously.
"Alright then, well… once upon a time, there lived a very multifarious man." Alfred began, but was quickly interrupted.
"Alfred, what does multifarious mean?" Livy inquired.
"It means skillful, varied." Alfred answered.
"Ooooooh." Livy nodded her head in understanding now what the word meant. She then looked at Alfred with pleading brown eyes, waiting for him to carry on with the story.
"This man was very tall and strong." Alfred continued, trying not to use such a big vocabulary. "He wore a costume in the night and would avenge his parents by fighting evil doers. He called himself…"
"Batman?" Livy questioned, interrupting him. Alfred smiled.
"Yes, Batman." Alfred nodded. "On one of his late night patrols of the city, he came across a decrepit…" he could see Livy about to open her mouth to ask for an explanation what the word meant, so he quickly added, "worn-out building. Batman was then intrigued when he saw a shadow of a person cross one of the windows of this old building. Batman then thought to himself, 'Who would possibly want to stay in an abandoned building. Unless it's an escaped criminal.' So Batman ran to the building and kicked the door down. There stood Catwoman."
"Catwoman?" questioned Livy. She never heard of her before.
"Yes. Her real name was Salina Kyle and she beautiful. Unfortunately she had been stealing some cat like artifacts from a museum." Alfred explained.
"Why?" inquired Livy. Alfred paused for a moment, trying to come up with an excuse.
"Because she needed to buy more catnip." was his response and Livy bought it. "Batman glared at Catwoman and stated, 'You better return those artifacts.' and her reply was, 'You have to catch me first.' And they ran across the city, jumping building to building. They then started to fight, and Batman fell off the edge of the roof, dangling helplessly over the city street below." Livy let out a gasp in shock, and Alfred tried to hide a laugh.
"But then Catwoman, leaned down and helped him up. Batman was shocked. She then leaned into him and kissed him."
"EWWWWW!" exclaimed Livy, wrinkling her nose in disgust. "What if Batman had coodies?" she questioned.
"I assure you that he washed every night and took anti coodies pills." smiled Alfred, then continued.
"Catwoman handed the artifacts to Batman with a smile and said 'See you around Batman.' and she sprinted away as Batman stood in shock. And then Catwoman got away but Batman was able to return the artifacts. The End." Livy looked at Alfred with curiosity.
"But Damian told me that no one dared to stand up to Batman."
"That is mostly true." explained Alfred. "Except when it comes to Catwoman. She was very cunning and brave." he smiled.
"Brave? Was she afraid of anything?" Livy inquired.
"Oh, I'm sure she was, but she wouldn't let anyone know." Livy nodded her head thinking about this.
"Was there anything she didn't like?" Livy questioned.
"She abhorred people who abused animals." explained Alfred.
"Abhorred?" Livy inquired.
"To strongly dislike." Alfred stated, and Livy nodded her head. "Now get some rest little miss." Alfred smiled, and turned off her light.

In the middle of the night, Livy woke up to the sounds of footsteps in her room. A clown face popped in front of her and she punched it hard with a scowl on her face.
She could hear a grunt come from behind the mask.
"What was that for?" he hissed. She simply stated,
"I abhor clowns."
