A Night at the Circus

Kate's POV:

Y/N said we're going to a circus tonight to see the Flying Graysons so I'm getting ready to go with him

Y/N: Kate, come on!

I go to the living room and see Y/N with a leather hoodie jacket waiting for me

After that, Alfred drives us to the circus

When we get there, I see that the circus is full of people. The Flying Graysons must be really popular

The show starts and the ringmaster announces them

Ringmaster: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Children of all ages, I present to you...the fearless Flying Graysons! Doing their feats without the safety of a net, as always.

The couple of trapeze artists start performing stunts and swing around doing flips on the trapeze

The crowd cheers

Ringmaster: And now, the youngest member of this amazing family!

A young boy steps into the spotlight

But just as he was about to jump on the trapeze when his parents swung towards him, it loosens up and the young man's parents fall and hit the ground

Y/N and me look at each other and the crowd looks shocked

But as everyone was looking down, horrified at the bodies of the Grayson couple, Y/N looks up to the boy, who was now crying

After that, we return to the manor 

Y/N didn't say a word on his way back

Alfred: Sir, I watched the news...is the son okay?

Y/N: Not now, Alfred.

He walks past Alfred and makes his way to the cave

Kate: Y/N, don't lock yourself in that cave again.

Y/N: I'm not...someone was responsible for this. 

I sigh

Kate: Did it ever occur to you that it might have been an accident?

Y/N: The most famous family of trapeze artists in the entire country dies and you think it was an accident?

Kate: These things happen, Y/N.

Y/N: No! They don't. Not with me. You don't get it, you never did. I'm not called "World's Greatest Detective" for no reason! So let the competent do the work while you shoot your stupid trick arrows!

I get heartbroken after hearing him say that and just slap him in the face before heading to the garage with Lucky and driving off in one of Y/N's cars

Y/N's POV:

Shit...I was way over the line with Kate. How could I? How could I lose my cool in front of the one person that makes me feel calm and composed all the time? I was stupid

I then see Alfred coming to me

Alfred: Sir, I know how you must be feeling. But this is no way of treating Ms. Bishop.

I lower my head and sigh deeply

Y/N: I fucked up, Al...it's just that-

Alfred: I know, sir. The young man...you see yourself in him.

Y/N: What am I gonna do, Alfred?

Alfred: Have some rest, you had an eventful night. We'll take care of it in the morning

I do as he says and go to bed, but I'm unable to sleep thinking about the things I said to Kate


The morning after:

I get up and go downstairs just to see that Alfred has picked a black suit and a black tie for me

Y/N: What is that? 

Alfred: A suit for you, sir. To attend the Graysons funeral.

Y/N: Why do you think I'd want to go to a funeral?

Alfred: Because I think you can connect to their son, Richard. Just have a chat with him...he has no one left.

Y/N: I can do it...for him.

I have breakfast and put on the black suit Alfred picked for me

After that, Alfred drives me to the cemetery and I see the Graysons' son, Dick

(Tanner Buchanan as Young Dick Grayson)

He was standing by the closed caskets of his parents...reminding myself of how I felt when I was in his place

I approach him and talk to him

Y/N: I'm sorry for your loss.

Dick: Thanks ,Mr. Wayne...

Y/N: So...how are you holding up?

Dick: I'll be okay...I just miss them. It's not fair! That guy...Zucco.

I raise an eyebrow

I then see tears falling from his eyes

After that, a tall, asian man approaches us and puts his hand on Dick's shoulder

Martin: Dick...are you ready to go?

Dick: Yes, Mr. Li.

Li as in Martin Li? The creator of the F.E.A.S.T shelter? 

I turn around and see Martin Li

(Stephen Oyoung as Martin Li)

Y/N: Mr. Li.

Martin: Mr. Wayne.

As they were walking away, I remember what Alfred told me:

"He has no one left"

I then decide to walk up to them

Just as Li was about to put Dick in the car, I approach them

Y/N: Mr. Li, hold on a minute.

Martin: Yes, Mr. Wayne?

Y/N: I'd like to take him in...as a foster son.

Martin: Well, I appreciate the offer, Mr. Wayne. But we'll have to take care of some adoption papers first.

Y/N: Why don't you talk to my lawyers about that and I'll give Dick here a nice home.

Martin: Alright then.

Martin and I shake hands

Y/N: Let's go Dick.

He nods

We then walk up to Alfred, who was waiting outside the car

Y/N: Dick, I want you to meet Alfred. 

Alfred: Pleasure to meet you, Master Richard.

Dick: Call me Dick, Alfred.

Alfred: Very well, Master Dick.

Y/N: Alfred will drive us home, but first, we need to make a quick pitstop.

Alfred: Where to, sir?

Y/N: Kate's penthouse.


Kate's POV:

I have been in my penthouse since last night after Y/N shouted at me. And now it's just me and Lucky in here

I hear the elevator door to the penthouse opening

It's Y/N with a roses bouquet and a black suit

Y/N: Look...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things to you.

I don't reply

Y/N: I get it, I was an asshole. But now I realise how much you mean to me...how much you mean to the other me too. I need you, Kate.

Kate: Do you mean it?

Y/N: Have I ever lied to you?

I smile at him

Kate: Good point.

Y/N then approaches me and kisses me on the cheek

Y/N: Kate...there's something I have to tell you.

Kate: What is it?

Y/N: I have a foster son now.

Kate: You what?

Y/N: Look, before you jump into any conclusions, I did it in the spur of the moment and I don't regret doing it. His name is Dick Grayson.

Kate: Oh my God, the son of the Flying Graysons? Are you sure this is a good idea? You're 25.

Y/N: Yeah...I couldn't leave him in an orphanage, Kate. He needs a home. That kid needs a family. And I need you to help me guide him. 

I smile at him and hug him afterwards

Kate: I'm glad you took him in. Where is he right now?

Y/N: In the car with Alfred. Come on. He'll love Lucky.

He offers me his hand

After a couple of minutes, Y/N, Lucky and I get down and meet with Alfred in the car

Alfred: Ms. Bishop...nice seeing you again.

I get in the backseat with Lucky and I see Dick there

Kate: Hi, I'm Kate and this big furball here is Lucky.

Lucky licks his ear and Dick laughs softly...he must be feeling sad about his parents

Dick: Can I pet him?

Kate: Of course.

I smile when I see Dick playing with Lucky 

I then look at Y/N, who was in the passenger's seat and smile at him

Almost an hour later, we arrive at Wayne Manor

Dick: Whoa...

Y/N: This is your new home, Dick. Welcome to Wayne Manor.

We get inside and Dick looks amazed by the property


Third Person POV:

A couple of hours later, it's night time in New York and Y/N and Kate tucking Dick in his new bed 

Y/N: I know this day is a very bad day for you, but just remember...whatever happens, we're here for you. Me, Kate, Alfred and even Lucky.

Dick: I like Lucky.

Kate: Everybody does. Would you like him to spend the night here with you?

Dick: Yes...if it's okay

Y/N: Of course it it okay. Good night, Di-

Out of nowhere, Dick hugs Y/N

Dick: Thank you, Y/N...

Y/N: No problem, kiddo. Now go get some sleep.

Kate and Y/N then leave Dick's bedroom while Dick and Lucky go to sleep

Kate: You're going to be an amazing foster dad.

Y/N: And you'll be the best foster mom.

The two of them share a long, passionate kiss before heading somewhere else in the huge manor
