Hey! So, this is my new story, Circus Again, which will have really random updates because I'm mostly going to be working on my other story. It may or may not be finished before I leave for camp. If I leave you guys hanging for 8 weeks, I apologize in advance.

This chapter is just a sort of intro into Dick's life. It has almost nothing to do with the actual does not even mention the circus.

The chapters for this story will probably be kind of short. Actually, they will be short.

It's pre-time skip.

Um... ok, done with boring pre-story info.

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing

Richard 'Dick' Grayson was late.

Very late.

He was supposed to be at the cave for training almost an hour ago, but he had been assigned a project with Babs- Barbra Gordon, the girl who he may-or-may not have a crush on (AN/ Go Dick and Babs! I have nothing against Zatanna, but still) and they had been trying to find a time and date to meet to work on it. It's hard finding free time when you're the adoptive ward of a billionaire playboy who runs around the Gotham skyline in tights at night, and who spends most of your time (when you're not at school) hanging out with your best friend in a hollowed out mountain. It didn't help that Babs was the commissioner's daughter too, even if her schedule only consisted of doing homework and gymnastics and not waging an everlasting war on evil.

Anyway, Wally was going to kill him- that is, if Artemis hadn't already killed the speedster.

Sure enough, as soon as Dick, now dressed as Robin, walked through through the door, Wally sped to hide behind him. "STAY AWAY FROM ME, SHE DEMON!" Artemis casually strolled through the entranceway and smirked at Robin and the cowering speedster. Robin smirked back. "What did he do this time?" "He was acting too… Wally. I mean, he knows that M'gann and Connor are dating now, and he still tries to flirt with her, and Megan was having a hard time getting him to stop. So, I decided to help her. Not my fault if Kidiot doesn't know how to take a hint." "Ah," Robin nodded, then stepped away, giving Artemis a free path to Wally. "Go ahead then"

"DUDE! So not cool. You're betraying your bro here. Seriously." Wally began to back away nervously, obviously disturbed by the predatory grin Artemis wore. He glanced between Robin and Artemis, who was now beginning to advance. "Aw man!" With a blur of red and yellow, he disappeared with Artemis chasing after. Robin cackled quietly, then continued on into the cave.

Told you it was short.
