Chapter three

That same day after school Tamara walked up the walk of the Manson when she saw a man who looked like he was at least 20 sitting on the steps. "Dick? Dick Grason is that you?" Tamara said loking at the man. He wore blue jeans, a red t-shirt and a black leather jacket. His duffle bag was at his side. The man looked at Tamara with a smile as he stood up.

"Tamara, my, my, my how grown up you look since I left four years ago. How are things going?"

"Good. I've even got a boyfriend."

"Really? So whose the lucky guy?"

"His name is Tom Bonacelli. He's in all my classes and he's a transfer student from Italy."

"Your dad know about him?" Tamara hit Dick on the arm playfully.

"Of courseDad knows about Tom. Otherwise I wouldn't be going out with him. You know how dad is about me dating."

"You got a key? I need to get in and I think Alfred went out for awhile. Is your dad in by any chance?"

"He doesn't know that you're here?" Tamara said reaching for her key ad unlocking the door.

"No, I just pulled up five minutes ago."

"Okay but I don't think Dad's home yet." Tamara said as Dick walked in and turned the corner.

"Thanks." He called back as he went to the grandfather clock, pushed both clock hands at the twelve o'clock and entered the Bat cave.

Later that night Bruce walked in the front door , saw that Tam was in the living room reading so he asked, "Tam is that Dick Grason's chopper out front?"

"Yeah, he was here when I got home today." Tam said without looking up from her book, "Although I haven't seen him all day. He's probably found my stash of video games in my room."

"Okay thanks, Tam. I'lll go look for him." Bruce said as he walked into the den and saw Alfred dusting.

"Alfred, where's Dick?"

"Grandfather clock sir." Alfred whispered and Bruce nodded his head and entered the bat cave. The Grandather clock shut behind him as he walked down the stone stairs. He found Dick at the main computer.

"Well, well, well if it isn't Dick Grason." Dick straightened up and shock Bruce's hand.

"So how old are you now, 17?"

Dick smiled and said, "No I'm 20. I started college early and finished two months ago. I thought I might swing by and say hi,"

"You got kicked out of your apartment didn't you?"

"Yeah, I kind of did."

"Well, you are always welcome here. So what are you working on?"

"Research actually. You know Tom's boyfriend Tom Bonacell?"

"Yeah, I met him at the football game. He's a great quarterback. What about him?"

"Turns out he's got a criminal record. In Italy he was arrested over ten times for theft, Fifteen tims for DWI'S and one for murder. He moved here to start over but since then he's been arrested for the same thing except the murder part."

"You always were watching out for Tam, Dick. These are some serious charges. I'll look into…"

Bruce straightened up and looked around. "What's.." Dick began to ask but Bruce covered his mouth. Then they heard from the otherside of the Grandfather clock,

"Stupid thing! Why won't you work?"

"Miss is there a problem?" Alfred asked coming around the corner.

"This clock isn't working."

"I'll see that it is ficked, Miss."

"Okay. Tell dad that I'll be in the gardern."

"Yes, Miss." Alfred watched Tamara walk away and then he looked at the clock and saw that it's hands were on the six. Alfred sighed and said, "Your half way there miss. Your half way there." Alfred waked into the bat cave and saw Bruce remove his hand from Dick's mouth as the master breathed a heavy sigh.

"You always knew when someone was coming." Dick told Bruce with a smile.

"That's why I'm the Batman."

"Master Bruce what are we going to do about Miss Tamara? I believe she knows your secret."

"She must have seen me come into the cave. That could only explain why she was at the clock. There's no other explanation because it has never bothered her before that that clock doesn't work. I don't think we have to worry about her Alfred. Whose she going to tell, you?"

"I'm not sure you're off the hock just yet Bruce." Dick said in a concered tone. Bruce and Alfred looked at their friend with questioning looks. Who did your girlfriend talk to when something was bothering her?"

"I never had a girlfriend who liked to talk. The one that I married just thought it was best to beat the heck out of bad guys."

"All right bad example. Usually, when a girl finds something out that has been bothering her, she tells her boyfriend. Tam's boyfriend is this Bonacell guy and I think he's bad news."

"I believe we have a problem, Master Bruce."

"I think your right Alfred."

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Dick Grason is Night wing. If I'm wrong please tell me. Tell me how to spell his last name too. Thanks!
