Enjoy

Damian and Dick now dressed in there costumes started fighting against each other. Dick was using his nunchucks and Damian was using his staff.

"You're sloppy kid." Damian said.

"We've worked on this a hundred times before. It's getting boring."

"Well wake up and focus! Get it right this time." Damian said before he started attacking again. Dick used his acrobatics to flip out of the way of Damian's attacks. Then Damian used his sword skills to knock one of Dick's nunchucks out of his grip.

"You know I still don't get why we're doing this."

"Doing what?" Dick asked.

"All this training with you. I don't need to be trained to do anything by some circus clown."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Dick asked getting mad.

"It means my grandfather taught me everything there is to know about personal combat." Damian then used all of his might to try and attack his brother but Dick was faster in his acrobatics. Finally Dick covered his head with his only nunchuck now and stopped Damian from hitting him on the head.

"Oh yeah? Well I was trained in acrobatics by the circus and by Bruce Wayne, and every time Bruce and your grandfather met he kicked Ra's Al Ghul's butt and won every time; just like I do in Mario Kart." Dick said and kicked Damian's arm that was holding the sword and caused him to lose his grip on it making him lose it before Dick started attacking him with karate moves. Then Damian pushed Dick to the ground while he ran up the steps where all the spare costumes were. Dick tried to superkick Damian but he managed to doge every one of them. Suddenly Damian saw an opening and went to attack Dick's right arm but quickly grabbed his left arm pushing and holding him against the floor by his arm.

"You really are a massive-ego aren't you?! The pure and perfect little Dick Grayson, the first child father took in and loved." This got Dick mad and he flipped around and used the arm that Damian had and threw Damian against the wall.

"You seriously think he loves me more?" Dick asked.

"Oh I know he does but that's okay. You're just some lost little gypsy orphan he took pity on." Dick suddenly gasped in shock and stopped what he was doing while freezing in place. His eyes were wide and mouth shaped like a large o. "But I'm blood!" Damian said doing the backflip that Dick had taught him to do sending Dick falling back into the chair down below them. "I'm his true son." Dick meanwhile was still not moving an inch after what had just happened. Damian then gave a loud holler in frustration and hit his fists on the railing which caused a few bats in the shadows to go flying and start talking.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to listen to what the enemies are saying to you?! No matter how emotional it may be you can't let them know you're getting emotional! It's a sign of weakness!" Damian yelled.

"How many people out there are going to know I grew up in the circus? Huh? None! That's the whole point of having secret identities! So the bad guys don't know who we are." Dick yelled back at Damian.

"Ra's Al Ghul and my Mother knew who Father was secretly. Plus this is training for school. I heard you keep getting picked on by Ike again. Then you spend the rest of your day crying about it."

"I do not! How would you know how I feel?! You never got picked on by other kids Mr. Prince of the Assassins."

"You are such…!" Damian was about to yell but then stopped himself and took a deep breath. He was letting his anger get out of control and that's not what Dick needed now. "Okay, you're getting there but you can't let words control you. People are going to say stupid stuff out there and that I can assure you of." Damian said starting to walk down the steps.

"I know but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt."

"I'm sorry about all that I said Grayson. None of it was true except one thing."

"What? That I'm a gypsy freak?"

"No, that you always kick my butt at Mario Kart." Damian said finally where Dick was sitting and that made Dick start laughing.

"Well, it doesn't help that I keep hitting you with a red shell all the time."

"Wait that was you?! You told me it was the computer!"

"Some of it was the computer but nine times out of ten it was me." Dick said showing a wide grin.

"Okay now I'm gonna get you." Damian said and started chasing after Dick who started running. The two started running around the cave until Dick stopped and sat down to catch his breath. Damian did the same sitting next to his brother.

"I may not be able to beat you at Mario Kart, but I bet I can beat you at Trouble."

"You're on." Dick said and went upstairs to grab the game.

A few hours later Batman came back to the two boys nearly falling asleep while playing Sorry. "Best two out of three." Damian said slamming his fish on the table after another loss. "How am I losing to an eight year old?"

"Cause I'm better than you."

"Socially yes but everything else…"

"Doing more lessons are we boys?" Bruce asked when he came into the living room.

"Yeah, Damian is determined to beat me at a board game."

"Well…I'm letting you win. Yeah that's it."

"Oh you are? Why thank you brother." Dick said laughing.

"Alright you two time for bed." Bruce said.

"Awwww." Dick said but got up and started stretching. "So what did you do tonight Bruce?"

"Just one last patrol before I turn in. I was seeing if I could find that owl creature that you saw."

"Do you think that feather you found has any significance?"

"I remember seeing that feather in the Gotham museum at some point at the Owl exhibit. The museum is doing some renovations in that room and it's too messy to observe anything, so I'll look in to it tomorrow night; which means you're in charge again." Bruce told Damian.

"What? Why do I have to babysit? Can't Pennyworth just do it?"

"Alfred is visiting an old friend tomorrow and won't be available. The only option is you."

"I'm Robin; I don't babysit annoying little brothers."

"Well Robin or not you're staying here. Now off to bed." Bruce said and everyone went to bed. It was around 3:00am when a figure was poking around the manor. Unknown to the family, the security system had been turned off by said figure due to the fact that he had been spying on the Wayne family since the brotherhood ceremony almost two years ago. That and he was given the security codes by his Grandmaster. His main target was the youngest member that he had a deep connection with. The figure started to climb the manor up to the youngest Wayne's room where he was sleeping. Silently he opened the window and walked over to the bed.

"I have waited far too long for this moment to happen. You were taken away from your destiny that dreadful night, but things are about to change. And soon you will officially be my replacement, The Gray Son of Gotham." Suddenly Dick stirred and opened his eyes. When he saw the figure in front of him he screamed at the top of his lungs. The covers were thrown over him and Dick tried to get them off but he only managed to fall off his bed. Dick was so tangled in his covers that he started to panic. He kept twisting and turning until the figure came over and started to put his hands on him.

"NO! Leave me alone! Bruce! Alfred! Damian! Help!" The hands lifted the blanket off of him causing Dick to squeeze his eyes shut. "Leave me alone!"

"Dick it's me it's Bruce." The figure said.

"B-Bruce?" Dick asked and slowly opened his eyes. There in front of him was his guardian in his looking like he'd seen a ghost. That's when Dick launched for him and started sobbing his little heart out.

"Grayson!" Damian screamed as he came in with a sword ready to attack. "Are you alright?"

"Dick what happened? Did you have a nightmare?" Bruce asked.

"No! Someone was in my room."

"What?!" The two asked in shock.

"I woke up and saw that owl thing in my room." Dick said and Damian ran towards the window opening the curtains and started looking around outside. That's when Alfred came in wearing his robe and carrying a few trays of hot chocolate.

"My goodness sir. Are you alright? You gave Master Bruce and myself such a scare."

"Someone was in my room."

"But that can't be. I set the alarm myself before turning in for the night."

"Alfred stay with the boys for a minute." Bruce said and started to walk out.

"Be careful Bruce. He might still be here."

"I'll be right back Dick. I'm just going to get my phone." He said and quickly ran out and came back in a flash.

"Grayson I don't see anyone out here."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure but I'll double check." Damian said. Meanwhile Bruce pulled up the alarm system and cameras on his phone. He watched the footage to see just Dick sleeping. He then started shaking and fell off the bed. That's when the family came in.

"Dick there's no one there. You must have had a really bad dream."

"But it wasn't a dream. It was real." Damian then came over and took his father's place comforting the boy as best he could. Bruce meanwhile went over to Dick's bed and saw another owl feather under his pillow.

Okay from here on out is when stuff is about to come out. How did the Grandmaster know the security codes? Take a good guess who the Grandmaster is or it will be explained next chapter. Hope you enjoyed it.
