Eight Never Told Him
Barry looked over at Bruce, who was smiling, and said: "Why don't you two go play in Dick's room?" Wally let go of Dick putting him on his back as Dick giggled and ran to Dick's room. Once Wally and Dick are out of the room, Bruce looked over at Barry, who was still looking at Bruce. "Did you tell him about you being Batman?" Barry asked. "No, I never told him" Bruce answered.
Wally made it to Dick's room and dropped the ebony boy on the bed plotting down next to him. "Do you know Batman?" Wally asked turning to face Dick. "Yeah, he saved me from Tony Zucco" Dick signed and Wally looked him with his eyebrows furrowed. "What does that mean?" Wally asked sitting up on the bed. Dick sat up as well as he got off the bed walking over to his closet and pulling out a shirt with a Batman logo on it. "He saved me from Tony Zucco" He signed again and Wally was starting to get frustrated. "I don't know what you're trying to say!" Wally raised his voice, causing Dick back away quickly and whimper a little. Wally noticed that Dick was starting to get scared again. "I'm sorry, Dickie, I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at myself for not being able to understand what you're saying," Wally explained in a soft tone and walked over to Dick to hug him.
"How would he know that you're Batman though?" Barry asked walking and sitting on the couch. "I don't know, but when he first came to live here I took him to the store to get him some clothes, he saw a shirt with a Batman logo on it putting it up to my chest and happily saying 'Batman', " Bruce said thinking back to their trip to the mall. Barry looked Bruce with a thoughtful look. "Maybe he was telling you that he knew you were Batman." Barry thought out loud. "Maybe he found out like Wally found out about you" Bruce suggested.
Dick wanted to talk to Wally but his voice would not work for him. Wally had noticed how many times Dick had opened his mouth to say something, but closed it when nothing would come out. "You want to talk to me don't you, Dickie?" Wally asked and received a quick nodded from said boy. Dick decided to try to talk to Wally again. "Barry fast?" Dick said in his broken English, Wally nodded at Dick, who smiled. "Yeah, he's really fast, faster than me" Wally answered with a smile since he got Dick to talk to him. "Batman safe me Tony Zucco," Dick said and Wally looked at him confused then realized he asked if Dick knew Batman.
Bruce stood up from the couch and turned to Barry, who was still on the couch. "Wally may have told him while they were outside" Bruce suggested. "Maybe but do you want him to know about you?" Barry asked standing up. "Not really, but since he called me Batman, I guess we can explain it to them," Bruce said heading towards the stairs with Barry in toe.
Wally was sitting on Dick's bed with said boy's head on his lap. "Do you know what Batman's secret ID is?" Wally asked playing with Dick's hair. "Bruce" Dick answered sitting up and snuggling into Wally's side. "Did he tell you that he was Batman?" Dick shook his head. "You figured it out?" Wally asked and Dick nodded with a smile.
Barry and Bruce made it to the door of Dick's room and heard them talking. "Did he tell you he was Batman?" There was a pause before Wally spoke again. "You figured it out?" There was silence after. Bruce knocked on the door and heard a knock in reply. Bruce and Barry walked into the room. "So, you figured out that I was Batman by yourself?" Bruce asked and Dick nodded. "He was talking to me!" Wally said excitedly causing Dick to tighten his grip on Wally. Bruce didn't notice Dick snuggling into Wally's side until he tightened his grip on Wally. "Seems like he really likes you, Wally," Bruce said with a small smile. "He never lets anyone touch, much less, snuggle them, but me." Wally looked surprised at the last statement.
Dick buried his face into Wally's chest and yelled "My Wally!" tightening his grip. "Dick, loosen your grip on Wally, you're going to hurt him," Bruce said and his grip on Wally loosened. "So, you never told him that you were Batman?" Wally asked and received a nod from Bruce. "Wallace, now that you know who Batman really is, you need to keep it a secret," Bruce said in his Batman voice and Wally quickly nodded. "Hungry" Dick said turning his head so he was facing Bruce and Barry, with his head still on Wally's shoulder. "Me too!" Wally said stand up with Dick his arms.
Hailey woke up from her nap, heading downstairs she heard talking from Dick's room so, headed to Dick's room and walked in to see a boy with fiery red hair holding Dick in his arms with his head on the boy's shoulder. "Daddy, who that?" Hailey asked pointing at the boy holding Dick. "That is Wallace, Barry's nephew," Bruce told her walking over and picking her up.
The five of them headed to the kitchen to make lunch for Dick, Hailey, and Wally. "What do you want for lunch, Dickie?" Bruce asked receiving a shrug from said boy. "I'll eat anything," Wally said sitting down in a chair as Dick sat next to him, on the floor. Wally looked at Dick confused. "Why are you on the floor?" Bruce sighed putting Hailey down and putting Dick in the chair next to Wally. "How many times do I have to tell you that you sit on a chair, not the floor?" Bruce asked annoyed and Dick put his head down.
When lunch was ready, it was placed in front of them and Barry and Wally dug in, but Wally noticed that Dick wasn't eating. "Why aren't you eating, Dick?" Wally asked looking over at Dick. "Dick, I'm not going to feed you," Bruce told him, taking a bite of his lunch and Dick looked down. Dick then pushed the food away from him and said "Not hungry." Wally stopped eating pulling the plate back to Dick and ripped a piece off handing it to the ebony boy, who opened his mouth waiting for Wally to put it in his mouth. Wally put the piece in Dick's mouth and said boy ate it. "More?" Dick asked looking at Wally, who smile and continued to feed him.
