The last time Dick had gone to the circus in Gotham his parents had died and his life was forever changed and so Barbara assumed that was the reason he had been acting so strange and why his hands were sweating so badly.

"Dick we don't have to go" Barbara said as the neared the big top.

"Babs I'm fine" Dick countered hoping beyond hope Barbara didn't know the real reason he was so nervous.

"You don't seem fine" she retorted stopping and turning so she was peering into his eyes, "Dick I'm serious we don't have to go."

"Babs I want to go I need to go, plus I get to see old man Haly again and being here reminds me of them in a good way too. And after the show I get to introduce you to Zitka" Dick told her a small smile playing on his lips.

"If you say so Twenty-something Wonder" Barbara replied with a sly smile as she skipped ahead of him and into the big top.

"Babs! Hey wait…Babs!" Dick called after her as he watched the red head bob in and out of the crowd, rolling his eyes he ran to catch up to her.

When he finally caught up too her he grabbed her around the waist lifting her and spinning causing her to squeal. "Awww Dick put me down" she laughed

Dick did as he was told and placed her back on the ground, "So should we head to our seats" Dick asked her.

"Sure" Babs replied giving him a peck on the check, Dick smiled at her and led them into the grand stands in the big top and took their seats.

Soon the show started they watched clowns, animals, strong men, bearded women, and contortionist; all was going well until Barbara noticed that Dick was twitching nervously.

"Dick are you okay?" Barbara questioned eyeing him carefully.

"I'm fine just need some air" Dick replied glancing at her anxiously as he stood.

"Dick" Barbara said standing to go with him.

"I'm fine really stay here and I'll be back, I promise just stay here" he pleaded with her.

"Alright" Barbara said hesitantly as she watched him leave, reluctantly she turned her attention back to the center ring where a women was balancing on a horse as it trotted around the ring. With a grace that made even Barbara jealous the women rose herself so that she was balancing on one hand on the horse's bare back.

During this entire time Barbara was oblivious to the fact that Dick was 'back stage' hastily putting on a leotard similar to the one his family had worn years earlier.

"Dick are you ready" Haly's booming voice called from just outside the tent wall that separated the performance area from the back stage area.

"As I'll ever be" Dick called back, rushing over to the ladder that lead to the trapeze platform. As he began to climb he gave Haly a two finger salute, the elder smiled brightly at him and headed to the center ring.

When Haly finally reached the center of the center ring the bright stage lights zeroed in on him as did the tents attention. The seasoned ring master smiled brightly and allowed his booming voice to carry throughout the tent.

"We have a special treat for you folks tonight" he announced as a show light rose from him to the trapezes platform were a lone figure stood holding a trapeze bar in one hand the other waving to the crowd.

Barbara's eyes widened immediately as she recognized the figure atop the trapeze.

"The lone surviving member of the great Flying Grayson's has returned to Haly's Circus for one night fifteen years since the fateful night the rest of the Flying Grayson's fell" as the ring master announced the final part Dick dove off the platform releasing the trapeze bar as it reached its peak his body flying through the air majestically before he flipped and caught the second bar. His amazing feats continued for several minutes until he missed the bar, suddenly all the air rushed out of the big top as his body began to plummet towards the hard ground below.

"DICK!" A single scream shattered the silence that had over taken and just as suddenly as everything occurred it stopped as the figure hit a safety net stopping his deadly decent.

The source of the scream, a slim red haired women could be seen pushing through the crowd as Dick was being helped out of the net and onto the ground in the center ring.

When Barbara reached Dick he had a small smile on his face "Good thing I made sure they put up he safety nets" he joked.

"You idiot I thought I'd lost you" Barbara cried.

A small frown crossed his face before a bigger smile than before replaced the frown as Haly approached Dick with something in his hand. Whatever was in Haly's hand he quickly passed to Dick giving him a glowing smile and Barbara a knowing wink before moving off to the side.

Barbara's tears stopped as she watched the interaction between the two men. An eyebrow arching when Dick looked at her nervously before he went down to one knee.

"Dick" she questioned suddenly breathless. Dick winked at her before clearing his throat as they both realized that hundreds of eyes were resting on them.

"Barbara fifteen years ago I thought my life had ended when I watched my family fall to their death, and in a way my life did end because through all the people who tried to pull me away from that tragedy it was the red headed daughter of the police commissioner that was finally able to pull me away with a few kind words and a timid smile. After that Bruce took me in and things began to look up you became my best friend and you were always there through the nightmares, anniversaries, fights, bullies, everything I always had you. The first time I realized how hopelessly in love I was with you was that kiss in the closet on my fourteenth birthday but I was too afraid to admit it. And it wasn't until I nearly lost you that I realized how much I needed you. You make me a better man and you are the one source of light in my life that never dims, you are my clarity and if you would marry me I don't think there would be a happier man in this universe or any other universe so what do you say." Dick smiling at her with the smile that was reserved for only her.

Barbara had tears streaming down her face a hand covering her mouth as she struggled to take in everything he was saying and then it hit her. Dick Grayson, the first Robin, founder of Young Justice, Nightwing the protector of Bludhaven, the last of the Flying Graysons, the man she loved was asking her to marry him. She nodded her head shaking with joy "Yes! Yes! Of course! I love you you idoit! yes!" she said in delight as Dick slipped the ring on her finger. Just as quickly as the ring was placed on her finger she was being spun in the air as his lips crashed against hers and the tent erupted in cheer.

When the spinning finally stopped and her feet where finally on the ground their foreheads still resting against each other Dick whispered "You sure you're ready to be Mrs. Grayson"

"I'm just surprised it took you so long to ask" She whispered back before capturing his lips in another passionate kiss.
