One night I wondered what would happen if my whole family (and yes that includes uncles and cousins) died and I lived in the same world as the Young Justice and The Batman (both used to be TV shows). But, I'm not talented or pretty so I replaced myself as Barbra Gordan because I love her. Don't make fun of the family member because if I say that person is Barbra's cousin it's actually mine.


I felt my eyes start to water for the billionth time that night and for the billionth time I let them run down my cheeks. I could almost hear the screams as I close my eyes shut.

Flash back (a couple weeks ago):

"Hurry up Barbra," Barbra's mother commanded for the fifth time that morning "we have to get to the park and celebrate." It was her family's first family reunion and only her family not even her "grandparents" couldn't come (They are a couple that are grandparents but still work. Barbra's family was so close to them they were family along with some other people.) Barbra was struggling to put the harness on her family's dog that she begged to get for years. She was well trained but the park said we have to put her on a leash.

"How about you go and I'll bring Mandy to the park once I get this on her." I replied attempting to get my dog under control and slip the harness on. "Okay, but hurry up." My mom replied then she walked outside as I grumble about hearing that for the sixth time in those 10 minutes. After a little while I got the harness on and clip on the leash and open up the door.

"BOOM!" I jump startled and look towards the meeting place and see smoke coming from it. "No….." I say in pain as I let the leash slip through my hand as I run towards the smoke and hearing the jingles from Mandy's collar. I stop and look at the holes through all of my family's heads. "No…." I say as tears start forming and I drop to the ground and pound my fists on the ground "No….. No….NO…..NO…no…No…NO!" I scream as my tears stream down my cheeks and Mandy comes and licks them off my cheeks whining as if she understood. I bury my face in her newly cut fur (p.s I just remembered that Mandy is a white Jack Russell with a black and brown left ear.) and sob until I think I cried out all my fluids.

End of flash back:

We had finished up saying a few words and Barbra who would get stage fright (I'm pretty sure she doesn't but I do so SUCK IT UP. Sorry.) felt surprisingly calm and could feel her family watch her from the heavens but could also feel Richard Grayson's gaze on her. He and his foster father Bruce Wane helped pay for the funeral and she insisted he come. Barbra being the last official family member got all of her family's fortune. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see my friend Anna who is like my sister and the rest of my "family" watch me cry. I didn't care. As if everyone could mind link we all came together for a group hug.


I was staying at my "grandparent's" house and luckily I was on summer so there was no need to worry about school. Earlier that night I snuck out and ran to the cemetery and stopped in front of my family's graves. I collapsed to the ground and stuck my head in my hands sobbing the tears from the other times I refused to let myself cry. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I slowly turn around my head to see Richard in baggy jeans and a sweater. Not even thinking I stand up, wrap my arms around his shoulder and then pull him into an embrace. At first he was stiff at the sudden movement then gradually accepted the embrace. After a while I pull back and wipe my eyes as I ask"So, what are you doing here."

"Same as you." He replied gesturing towards the cemetery "My parent's bodies are back in Gotham." He explained. I nod my head in reply thinking that he followed me.

"I better get going." I sniffled "thanks for helping me." I say with a grin and he returns that grin as I run to the house.
