Crack crunch pop thud along with the ringing in his ears was all Bruce could hear in the toilets as Richard Grayson punched and kicked him down
"Get up Wayne" again a quick kick to the stomach caused a sharp sting of tingles to ripple throughout Bruce's body.
"What's a rich kid doing without some real lunch money," Richard said holding the much smaller boy by the ruff of his shirt.
Bruce was now dragged above the urinal and dropped. "can't believe it someone as powerful as a Wayne just drenched in my piss." another kick to Bruce this time in the groin "that's for my dad getting sacked you shit head"
Bruce passed out and came to later in the nurse's office.
He couldn't blame Richard ever since the Wayne family was murdered the stock market crashed,
All of Gotham's infrastructure was in ruins.
One bullet set the chain reaction of 41 billion dollars of debt as businesses no longer could supply the pensions and the insurance companies had no bank to call to except outside of Gotham.
Lex corp saw this thriving opportunity and took it for all they could.
Lex figured since everyone needed a face again he could give shitty deals to the entire city
Now that everyone is in some kind of debit or the rich have gone it's as if the city has reached a state of undead.
Yet even though all of this the Wayne family has 100 billion locked away even in state tax and the press let everyone know about it.
No one could look at Bruce without feeling anger or disappointment.
Everyone he knows family was either laid off or was having to leave to public education and their friends behind.
Mr fries everyone's favorite science teacher had to quit work to support his wife as they could no longer afford treatment. Worst part is Bruce found it all out in the headlines, even though lex was the shark eating everyone up it was the Wayne name that the media spun into flames.
"I've had enough of this Bruce.
You cannot seriously expect me to believe that you fell again and somehow broke 3 bones.
This is the final straw" said Alfred trying hard to be stern since he knew how much this would hurt the boy.
"But Alfred-" Bruce cried out.
"No Bruce I'm sick of it you will be homeschooled and that's final!" He parked at the boy.
"You are a Wayne Bruce before that meant something good and strong but now you are good as dead to this city, do you think it will stop at just this? Whichever one of the boys did this to you even if it was 12 boys there will only be more to hurt you" he knelt down to the boy washing his tears.
"We can afford the finest education for you one to one any subject any study it is ready and waiting," he said now adjusting Bruce's shirt.
"But what about my friends…" Bruce whimpered out.
"Bruce your friends were friends because of your father's connections, the slumber parties the birthdays while you sat and played the grown-ups was making business deals. But there is no business left bruce. Do you understand?" Alfred's heart sank realizing he had to tell the boy how this all works so young.
"Like falconry?" Bruce shrugged.
"How does he know about those meetings?" Alfred wondered in amazement.
"It's best to forget about that Bruce" Alfred got up and handed the boy to security making sure to ride home safe.
