And so began Dick Grayson's career as Boy Hostage. Joking aside, I love awkward Bruce Wayne with his handling of his son like a project or business venture. The way he phrased gifting the kid his birthday present and seeing the results is hilarious and heartwarming. I love how Dick just propelled himself to Bruce's arms while Alfred silently has a heart attack. Then the cameo of Barry as the designated babysitter.

Oh, Dickie, poor baby. How could anyone be cruel to him? Glad Batman came to the rescue in the end. The lackeys deserved to be beaten senseless by the Bat. I mean, cramming explosives into a nine year old's mouth? That is beyond evil.

Awww so sweet!

Dat was one excellent story. What an adorable little grayson! As soon as it said joker was intown I was like " oh no! He must have dicky bird!" And the ending was so nice and fluffy. Even big bat batsy gets lonely sometimes. Awwww. Cuuteness! Good job and Write on dude!

Loved it.

Have you ever thought of writing a small one-shot where Bruce keeps his end of the deal and spends the day with Dick in the gym?

Awwwwww! That was just so sweet! Loved it, love Dick and Bruce bonding, so cute! :)

I can really imagine that happening with our favorite Dynamic Duo. Nice job.

D'aw, I love baby Richard in this. He just seems so sweet and innocent and happy and ... just ... d'aw!

Love love loved it! Such a sweet story, I especially enjoyed how gentle and paternal Bruce was with Dick, even when he didn't mean to be. Please keep on writing, I look forward to more!

This was so cute! I love these father/son moments! Keep writing!

Awesome! Cute! Awww!

I Love This!

I liked this it was nicely done! :)

Very nice one shot!
