I woke up at 7am to work out. I thought I would be the only one awake, but as I walked toward the kitchen to get an energy bar, I saw that someone was already in there. It was Dick. He sensed me and turned around.
"You sure wake up early!"
"Yeah, I was going to work out for an hour before everyone else woke."
"Well, you can't work out on an empty stomach," Dick handed me an energy bar.
"Uh, so, um, can you show me the way to the gym? I have no idea where it is."
"Haha yeah, I couldn't find anything the first time I was here either! Now I work as the unofficial Wayne Manor tour guide!"
I giggled at his little joke.
Dick grinned and beckoned for me to follow him. Turns out, he's going to work out too.
When we got to the gym, my jaw dropped to the floor. It had every exercise machine imaginable! Plus a pool! Now, I know this might sound weird, but I stripped off my clothes. I was wearing workout clothes under my PJ's so it didn't really matter. While Dick went over to the punching bag, I cartwheeled my way to the pull up bar. Dad said I had to work on upper body strength. For the next hour we worked on the pull up bar/punching bag. Then, we took a silent break. The silence was interrupted when I said: "Hey Dick, I challenge you to a one-on-one swimming race!"
Dick agreed so we changed into swimwear and dived into the crystal clear pool, and off we went. I've always been great at swimming, but I was still surprised when I beat Dick. He probably let me though. We each swam 5 more laps then got out. Before we headed off to the showers, I splashed Dick in the face with water playfully. He smirked and pushed me in to the pool. This started a water fight, and we forgot the time (it was 8:30am, so Alfred would be up making breakfast).
"Master Dick. Master Becca. Stop playing around," a British accented voice stopped us mid-splash. Uh-oh. It was Alfred. And he didn't appreciate all the water we got on the floor. On his command, me and Dick quickly got out the pool and hit the showers.
…..
After showering, I was starved. The smell of breakfast made me slide down the banister faster than the Flash could run, Barry would've been jealous. I did a somersault in the air and a backflip before landing gracefully on my feet. It was a trick Dad had taught me. I saw that I was the 2nd one in the dining room. Jason was there already, with a grumpy look. Clearly not a morning person. I said good morning and gave him a sideways hug. He smiled a bit and then cheered up after Alfred gave him a cup of coffee. Everyone else came and we started eating. Everything was so delicious! Especially Alfred's chocolate chip pancakes! YUM! After we finished devouring our food, Dad said that it was time to introduce me to the Young Justice team. Only dad and Dick were on a team so they went with me to Mt. Justice through the zeta tubes. A month ago, dad already programmed me into the system (Batgirl, B08) so that I would be able to pass through the zeta tubes. When we got there, the entire team was there. Aquaman, Green Arrow, Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Red Tornado, and Flash. The Young justice team was there too. Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis, and Aqualad. Nightwing (Dick) introduced me to Young Justice while Batman (Dad) introduced me to the Justice League. They used my hero name. Before we left, I had changed into my costume, and dad specifically told me that I should not let the others know my real identity. I can't even let them know that Batman is me and Robin's Dad! The only thing that they can know about me besides being a protégé to Batman is that Robin is my brother. They thought that was cool. The entire day was spent showing me around the cave in Mt. Justice and the Watchtower. I was really shy so I either stayed by Nightwing (he had his arm around me in a protective way, I was grateful for that, even though I doubt anyone will hurt me) or hid in Dad's HUGE cape as we walked. Dad didn't mind. I finally loosened up to the teams and stopped hiding in Dad's cape or stand by Nightwing. I made friends with everyone, especially Artemis and M'gann (that's what everyone calls Miss Martian). When we finally went home, I plopped down on the couch and started to watch TV with everyone else except Alfred. Alfred says he doesn't like TV. Then he disappeared into his room to do who knows what. Then, I had the brilliant idea to spy on him. I whispered my idea to the guys and they all smiled mischievous grins. We tip-toed our way to Alfred's room. Jason opened the door and Tim snatched out his phone, taking a quick picture. Then we rushed out… just to run into Dad. We tried to make an excuse for what we were doing but it turned out that Dad had seen us spying on Alfred. Dad lectured us in the hallway about respecting other people's privacy. As we were leaving, we all caught dad's amused smirk. Damien tackled dad for thinking that boring us to death with a lecture was funny.
"I'll show you amusement!" Damien leaped on to dad and knocked him to the floor. The rest of us followed, attempting to make dad smile one of his rarer-than-gold smiles. To our surprise, dad didn't smile. He laughed! Dad overpowered us and started tickling us in our most ticklish spots.
"Wow Bruce! First time in a year you acted like this!" Said Jason.
Then he said to me, "You're working miracles mini-wayne!"
"Alert the news!" Dick barely managed to say it before dissolving in fits of laughter.
We spent the rest of the day at the park due to Dad's good mood. Some people looked at dad confused as to why Bruce Wayne has so many children. Dad ignored them and watched us play around with a smile gracing his lips. This is probably the best reward we could get.
