I do not own Teen Titans

Ok, A little, what happened:

Recap:

Suddenly Bruce lowered Richard onto a bench.

"Don't move from this bench Richard." Bruce lowered his voice. "Don't"

As Richard looked up, Bruce Wayne saw light blue eyes, identical to his own. Yet, as he watched, they turned gray, as if he had lost the will to live.

Now Back to the Story:

Richard looked up. It had started to rain.

No one is going to tell ME what to do!

Richard jumped off of the bench and ran into the night. Just as he ran out of sight, a man stepped next to the bench.

Damn he's gone. The man thought angrily.

Quickly, the man ran off in the direction that Richard had taken. Towards the Hospital, and his sister.

At the hospital

Batman got out of his Batmobile as a young boy, about 7 entered the hospital, alone.

Gotcha.

Batman quickly used a Batarang and ascended to the window that led to the room with Aryana Grayson. Entering, he hid himself in the shadows by the door. Soon he heard footsteps.

"She is not conscious Mr. Grayson, but you may see her."

"Thank you."

Batman's breath caught in his throat.

Richard Grayson.

Suddenly the door opened. Richard Grayson entered slowly. The door closed behind him.

Richard's POV

The door closed behind me. I quickly darted over to the bed.

"I'm so sorry, Aryana, I'm so sorry."

I tried to keep the tears from flowing but, there was no keeping them away. I started sobbing, and as my tears fell, my sister opened her eyes. I gasped in amazement.

"Aryana, are you alright?"

"I'm fine Richard. I'm fine."

Regular POV

Batman breathed quietly. He did not want to interrupt this. Richard leaned closer to Aryana.

"What happened back there in the big top? Why didn't you die?"

"I'll tell you another time Richard. I can't now. It would do no good for me to die here. It would undo so much we have worked towards."

"So much what?"

"I'll see you later Richard. Look for me. Listen, this next part is important. VERY important…"

Her breath caught in her throat. She was seriously injured.

"Richard, whatever you do, never ever, ever dance with the devil, in the pale moonlight. Remember that Richard, forever."

Slowly, Aryana laid her head back. She closed her eyes, and became inhumanly still.

Richard started to cry even harder. She had died, and he had never gotten a chance to say goodbye. Just like his parents. Suddenly Richard felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up into the eyes of Gotham City's more renowned Superhero, Batman.

"Come on Richard, there is nothing we can do."

Richard looked out off the Batmobile's window. He refused to look at the Dark Knight, knowing that if he did, he would start crying again.

"I'm sorry, it is not like I can just change it and make it like it never happened but, I know what you are feeling. My parents were killed by a ruthless killer. He is now my arch-nemisis. He is now called, The Joker. Perhaps you've heard of him?"

Richard nodded numbly. He was in a state of shock. Exactly what Batman was trying to keep him out of. Suddenly, Richard's head swung around. Something had clicked in his brain.

"You."

Batman looked intrigued.

"Me what?"

"Your Bruce Wayne."

What ever Batman was expecting, it was not having a 7 year-old figure out his secret Identity when Commissioner Gordon and the Chief of Police couldn't.

"How did you find out?"

"A) Your voice, B) What you said back at the hospital: 'Come on Richard, there is nothing we can do.' That is exactly what you said to me at the circus. C) The way you walk."

Batman raised an eyebrow,

Very observative he thought.

That can be both good and bad.

Batman finally nodded.

"Yes, I am Bruce Wayne. But the true question is: Who are you? Not your name, what you need to know in order to answer this, includes many things, your past, my past, your parent's past, Aryana's past, and the reason why your parents are now dead. It will be difficult for you Richard, I know, I had to make the same journey. I still do. And I have to exercise caution in-order to not go over the edge."

Richard scoffed.

"Do you doubt me Richard? Do you not trust me? I am willing to take you in as my ward. Are you willing to be my ward Richard?"

Richard sighed.

"The name… is Dick."

Ooooooooooo so, Richard has accepted Bruce (in a way) if you want some traditional teenager/little kid stuff let me know. And again, R&R.
