A few years past Dick is now ten, Artemis twelve and becoming a beautiful young teen, and Roy fifteen and he's becoming a great young man. Roy was sitting outside waiting for his ride when he saw a girl in his classes.
"Hey" Roy said walking over to her.
"Hey Roy how are you?" the girl asked.
"Mr. Wayne" a voice said behind them.
"Hi Mrs. Jonathan" Roy sighed.
"Come with me young man" the teacher instructed.
They went to an office he sat down in a chair across from her while she looked at a file on her desk.
"I know it's hard to sometimes behave" Mrs. Jonathan said.
"How have I-" Roy was about to ask.
"I know being given everything since you were born is hard to forget, but if you don't stop hitting on my daughter I'll give you detention" Mrs. Jonathan informed.
"Yes, ma'am" Roy said leaving the office.
"Hey how did it go?" the girl asked.
"Fine" Roy said.
"You're lucky your mom you only get her eye color and genes from, I have to basically always see her everyday" the girl sighed. "I got to go"
Roy watched her walk away and then heard honking to see Alfred waiting for him in the car.
Artemis was at school listening to her teacher explain the homework when a kid hit her with a piece of paper. She turned around giving the kid a death glare and went back to listening. The end of the day bell rang and she walked out of the classroom to her locker. She put her school books in her backpack when she felt someone pull her blonde hair.
"Will you stop it?" Artemis turned to see her best friend Barbra Gordon and Dick.
"Someone's in a bad mood" Barbra laughed.
"What's wrong Artemis?" Dick asked.
"That boy in my last period class keeps hitting me with paper" Artemis informed.
They were walking through the halls when someone ran right into Artemis knocking her over and into Dick who fell back also.
"Sorry" the boy said helping her up while Barbra helped Dick.
"It's fine" Artemis said as Barbra handed her backpack back to her.
"You're Artemis and Richard Wayne, Bruce Wayne's children" the boy said.
"Yeah" Artemis stated.
"I mean it must be so cool to have his blood in your veins" the boy said smiling and then walked away.
"Artemis you okay?" Barbra asked.
"Yeah, it's just that do we really look like our parents?" Artemis asked.
"Well, you and your mom have the same type of hair just different colors, which is normal for some kids. Also you and Dick both have blue eyes like your dad and his hairs the same as your dad" Barbra replied.
"Thanks we got to go see ya" Artemis said.
"Bye Barbra" Dick waved and they walked out of the school to see Alfred in the car with Roy.
When they got home the kids all went up to their rooms to do their homework since their parents weren't home. Artemis is on her bed laying on her stomach with a textbook in front of her. She changed out of her uniform and was now in normal clothes of green and black. She then looked at her hair and she walked over to the mirror looking at her reflection.
"No, it's not possible" Artemis sighed and walked away from her mirror to finish her homework.
Roy was doing his homework when he remembered what that girl said about him and his dad. He then thought it over remembering what Wally said when they first met him a few years back.
"He didn't even know who we were, well are since we still haven't told him our identities" Roy said to himself and then remembered he had an essay due next week that he wanted to get over with.
Dick was relaxing at his desk finishing his homework and hacking into the Watch Tower for fun. He then saw his reflection in his laptop and saw some similarities between him and his dad. He then heard Ace bark and he ran out of his room to see his siblings also come out of their rooms. They saw their parents talking to Alfred and they all smiled when he mentioned dinner being ready.
"So how as school?" Talia asked as they took their seats.
"Fine" Roy responded.
"Can I ask you guys something?" Artemis asked.
"Sure" Bruce laughed.
"Do we look like you guys?" Artemis asked.
"What?" Talia said shocked.
"At school this kid thought we were blood related to you guys" Dick informed.
"You guys too?" Roy asked.
"Well, to think about it Dick you do look like your dad and Artemis has the same color eyes as him and Roy's are the same as mine" Talia agreed.
"I think it would be great if they believed that you were our real parents" Dick said.
"Now that we got this over with is all your homework done?" Bruce asked and the kids all nodded. "Good cause Penguin escaped"
The kids all got up running to the cave with Ace following behind them and Bruce and Talia walked.
"I think it's good cause from what I figured is that their lives before us was not easy for them" Talia smiled.
"I better go before Roy decides to try to take the Batmobile" Bruce laughed as he kissed his wife good bye.
He walked down to see them all in the Batmobile waiting for him and he quickly made Arsenal move out of the driver's seat and they were on their way to catch Penguin.
