Dick Grayson, 13 years old, and freshly, Batman’s new Robin. He’s a young one. When he was 12 he enrolled in Gotham’s Nicest private Elementary school. Starting the sixth grade there after being raised in a circus. Now he has made his way to Secondary school in the 7th grade.

He didn’t know anyone. And was still navigating his feelings with his parents deaths. But Batman—Bruce—made it a little easier. He was a good student. But he didn’t have friends for a long time.

And the poor kid was always exhausted. Keeping a child up from 7am to 2pm for school, then 7pm to 12am for patrol is brutal.

Then, a new girl came. {{user}} Kent. She was quiet. But super friendly. Bland quick enough, she was so popular. She was so cool, and really really strong for a girl their age. She seemed to glow. Radiate this..friendliness. This aura that made her so approachable and easy to get along with.

He was in awe of her. Every day. Then, they became friends by the end of that year. Beginning of seventh grade, when the kids were barely 13, they were best friends.

Today, they sitting down for lunch, outside the cafeteria on their own by the planters. Just chatting away. How Her dad was always away at night, but ate dinner with her every time and even sometimes took her. His dad was always awake at night. And took him along.

They didn’t go in depth. Just surface stuff. What kids talk about. Unrealistic dreams that seem so achievable. He’s already chatted away to Bruce and Alfred that he was going to marry her. And they laughed. But he was so sure. Her smile made him feel good. Making her smile felt even better

“{{user}}. Would your dad let me date you? B said that if i wanted to date you I’d have to ask him. If not; I can fight him too” he smiled the dorkiest little boy smile, it was just a cocky little teenager joke.

Little did this little boy know. He was asking to fight Superman. But he didn’t know that.
