Dick Grayson
Mount Justice, Common/TV Room
"That little twerp said he would be here," Green Arrow growled out, eyes dancing around the room as though the Boy Wonder would just pop up, which could happen as this was Batman's protégé.
"Settle down, he could just be caught up in Gotham," the Big Boyscout said, trying to calm his agitated friend.
"Caught up in Gotham? Please, Bats is here, so where is his little bird?"
"He is here," Martian Manhunter stated, looking thoroughly bored with the conversation and in need of some oreos.
"What? How do you know?" the speedster asked, words flying out his mouth at a lightning speed that was incomprehensible to most, but the green alien seemed to easily understand.
"The Zeta Tube announced his arrival over an hour ago along with Batman's. I felt the surface of their minds, and found it was them," the boredom leaking into the martian's words as he glanced around at the Leaguers gathered.
Flash and Green Arrow had their heads together and seemed to be utterly flustered that the Boy Wonder had not shown his face yet. Black Canary and Wonder Woman had walked in a few minutes ago after coming back from their mission; the two women were talking with an animated Aquaman, who was waving his hands and appeared to be demonstrating a crazy disco move. Superman sat watching the five o'clock news. J'onn could feel the signature of the Dark Knight's mind in the monitoring room, but he couldn't feel Hawkwoman and guessed she was trying to find some quiet from all this ruckus, something he wished for as well.
The matian was about to exit the room when all the lights shut off. Looking around, none of the heroes could see anything in the pitch black, except for Superman who used his x ray vision to see everyone around him, although he failed to look up.
"BATS!" Flash screamed, racing over to the monitoring room, or attempting to as he ran into the couch and promptly fell on his face.
"I thought you fixed the backup generator, Batman," J'onn said in slight confusion, not trusting his surroundings and simply standing where he was.
Meanwhile, Green Arrow had stooped to a crouching position after flinching at the noise Flash made when trying to run. Black Canary stood tall, not daring to let her fear overtake her, even though she could see nothing at all. Wonder Woman looked around, widening her eyes and allowing herself some vision, although not as much as Superman. Aquaman seemed at ease in the pitch black, having more than likely gotten use to the darkness under the surface of the ocean.
"What's going on?" Black Canary finally asked, still not being able to see a thing.
"Batman?" Martian Manhunter asked when he felt the Dark Knight's mind enter the room.
"A show," the Caped Crusader growled out, his smile hidden to everyone in the room as he silently walked passed all of them, using his mask's lenses night vision to see. He sat on the now abandoned couch and looked up, although no one but Superman could tell, but the Boy Scout was too busy checking to make sure everyone else was okay to notice.
"What?" Flash asked, having finally recovered from his fall, his voice dripping in confusion.
"LADIES AND GENTLMEN!" Someone shouted out from above them with clear joy and a slight bit of humor. A spotlight turned on, revealing Hawkwoman in a gold and black outfit to match her mask. She was standing on one of the rafter looking down at her fellow Leaguers.
"IF YOU WILL PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR THE INCREDIBLE DEATH-DEFYING AMAZING BOY WONDER! ROBIN!" As she spoke colored lights flashed on and off before finally adding a second spotlight on the young acrobat as he held onto a trapeze bar.
The little bird smiled down at the small crowd before him and waved, causing both the women on the ground to aww at his absolute adorableness. And with a flourish and a grin, the young vigilante jumped off the rafter, the spotlight still lighting the platform, but other lights lighting up as the boy flew through the air.
The Boy Wonder flipped around to a sitting position on his trapeze, but only staying like that for a second before for falling back, but catching the bar with his knees. He smirked at most of the hero's looks of horror as his flew through the air like the bird he was. Gripping the bar, the young acrobat slipped again so that he was once more swinging. Using his momentum, Robin released the bar flipping two times before his hands found another trapeze bar stationed in the rafters.
The League watched in shock and awe as they saw the young bird for the first time in his natural environment, they saw that this was what he was made to do this is what he lived for, this was like walking to him, swinging up there from bar to bar. Hawkwoman sat on her perch in slight astonishment as lights flashed around her and circus music played, she had almost forgotten her role in the scheme.
"AND NOW FOR THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF THE SHOW, KEEP YOU EYES PEELED FOR THIS MAYBE EVEN ONCE IN A LIFE TIME CHANCE TO SEE THE INFAMOUS QUADUPLE SOMERSAULT! THIS TRICK CAN ONLY BE PERFORMED BY THE EVERY WONDERFUL FLYING GRAYSONS!" Hawkwoman stood up from her perch and slide into the shadows of an adjacent rafter, making eye contact with the Boy Wonder who was across the room, ready to jump once more at the waiting trapeze.
The hero watched as the boy threw himself off the platform, she prepared herself to push off her own rafter as well. Hawkwoman saw Robin grasp the bar and swing using his momentum once more and as he released it she jumped. Her wings spread wide as she sored toward the boy, she watched him flip four amazing times before coming out of his last flip, his hands raised above his head, and the hero lowered herself down holding her arms out so that they clasped forearms.
He looked up at her as they flew around the top of the mountain; he tapped her forearm and tugged his hands away. At her look of worry he simply shook his head, so she complied, releasing his arms. And in less than a blink of an eye he had rotated his body around so that he was facing forward and clasped her forearms once more.
The pair flew down so that they were both standing in front of the gathered League, the lights having turned back on once they touched down, all by Robin's command thanks to his hacking skills.
"What. Just. Happened?" The green archer asked, totally taken aback by what he had just seen.
"Thank you! Thank you! Ladies and Gentlemen! Thank you very much!" the boy called out to the imaginary crowd, bowing and waving his arms.
"AAAAWWWWW!" Wonder Woman called clapping her hands together along with Black Canary, who both looked ready to launch themselves at the small boy.
"But really, what happened?" Flash stepped in to, clearly as confused as Green Arrow.
"Robin just revealed what you two have been trying to figure out all week," the Dark Knight growled out, and only Robin could recognize the slight quirk of his lips that indicated his amusement, which only made the Boy Wonder cackle, startling both the archer and speedster in question.
"What? No he didn't, he just goofed around up there," the red wearing speedster declared pointing up at the rafters to indicate his point.
"Did you not listen to what I said?" Hawkwoman asked, her robust voice clearly showing her impressment with the two heroes lack of intelligence.
"What?" the green archer said speaking up again. Flash clearly looked confused, his mask not on, revealing his face scrunched up as he tried to figure out what it was the hero had said.
"You said something about the Flying Graysons," Superman pointed out, stepping in to stop the two heroes from embarrassing themselves.
"YA YA! You said like the Flying Graysons could only perform that trick, but how does that help us? That only narrows it down to a whole troop of performers!" Flash wined with a pout.
"Or to the last Flying Grayson," the boy said, sadness hinted in his words, although most of the heroes didn't catch it as the boy covered it up with a deep mock bow to them all. "Richard Grayson, at your service, or not really, there's no way I'm serving any of you in any form or fashion," the young acrobat continued straitening up his grin set in place.
"Richard Grayson?" Green Arrow asked, still not grasping the concept that the name was the young bird's civilian name.
"Never even heard of the Flying Graysons," Flash commented absentmindedly.
"If you're the last, what happened to the other? Where you a family performance or something?" Superman asked, cringing when he saw the smile on the young boy's face drop.
"Maybe another time," the little bird said, surprising everyone with his matureness on the matter, including Batman who isn't surprised by anything, ever.
"I think I'm gonna go to bed," and with that he walked out, down to the row of rooms.
"Batman, what aren't you telling us?" the Amazonian princess asked, stepping up in front of the seated Dark Knight. The vigilante in turn looked at her through his mask, the permanent glare still in place, although his eyes softened slightly when he looked at Hawkwoman and saw her look of utter sorrow.
"Wait until Richard is ready," the man said softly, not a hint of a growl in his voice. The rest of the room nodded their heads, no one but Martian Manhunter and Batman noticing Hawkwoman's slightly teary eyes and the sadness pouring out of her.
Flash stopped nodding his head all of a sudden, "Wait, did he just go in your room?" the hero questioned Batman, "Cause a. No one is every allowed in there, Diana should know, and b. have you ever even slept in that bed before or even stayed there for extended amounts of time?"
Everyone, and I mean everyone, jumped at Batman's chuckle and some even cringed from the smirk that was on his face as he stood up and walked out the room.
"Did. You. Just. See. That?" Flash stood stock still, believing he had been transported to an alternate universe or reality.
"History was just made," Superman stated, looking shell shocked and not ready to cope with what had just taken place.
"Batman smiled, he smiled!" Green Arrow finally spoke, blinking his eyes.
"Do not forget the laugh, he laughed as well," Aquaman choked out.
"I believe that Batman is changing Robin as much as Robin is changing Batman," J'onn spoke some words of wisdom to the utterly shocked crowd before him and with a flourish he strode out the room, leaving dramatically like he had seen Batman do countless times.
