Ch.27: Photo Album
Wally sat on the common room couch with a big, thick book in his lap. The cover was black with the yellow Bat-symbol on the front. The ginger rubbed his hands together before opening the book up.
Inside were dozens and dozens of pictures dating back to when Dick was nine-year-old Robin.
The first few pictures were only of Dick, as he was the first child. It showed as he got older and older until he was joined by Jason, and then Tim, and then Damian, and then the two girls: Cassie and Stephanie.
Wally had already been through all of those though many times before though. What he wanted was pictures in the back: the ones of Danny.
The first picture Alfred had dared to take was one of Danny staring at Ace, who was bigger than him, with wide, blue eyes. The Great Dane was staring down at Danny with a big smile on his face, his tongue lolling from his mouth. The two pictures after were of Ace licking Danny and Danny hugging the dog's big neck.
Other pictures of the short time before anyone met Danny were of the child following Bruce quietly around the mansion, usually holding his hand or the hem of his coat or shirt. There was one of Danny riding Ace. Another was of Danny and Alfred playing monopoly.
Beside Danny, you could see a large stack of deeds for the game. Alfred had two. Danny had a ton of money. Alfred… Not so much.
There was also one of Danny and Alfred playing Blackjack, Danny and Bruce watching a movie, and Ace and Danny playing in the backyard.
After those pictures, there were the ones that were taken after Danny had met the League.

Flash continued to flip through the album, enjoying the pictures. At the very end, there was one of the entire Bat-Family in costume.
Batman was standing in the middle of the picture with Nightwing on his right and Red Hood on his left. The Spoiler* was on Red Hood's left while Batgirl was on Nightwing's right. Red Robin and Ravager* stood in front of Bruce, both of their arms crossed. Black Bat was in front of the two boys, crouched on the ground. Danny was in-between her legs, clinging to her left arm.
All of them wore devious smirks.
Superman walked into the room to see Wally staring at that one picture. He looked over the speedsters shoulder and frowned.
"Looking at that picture makes me wonder why villains keep trying…" Superman commented.
Wally looked up at him. "Really? Cause it makes me wonder what the point of the Justice League is."
*Stephanie takes up that mantle after being Batgirl, doesn't she?
*Someone told me he became Ravager. I'm taking their word for it.
Family is a beautiful thing.
Kadzait: Also a dangerous thing...
True... Very true... Speaking of family, I just pushed my brother down the stairs.
Kadzait: He was dancing again, wasn't he?
Yeah.
