    Summary

    Dick clutched the lantern, which was over half the size of his torso, to his chest. Every flicker of the tiny flame inside painted the walls with warm, beckoning light, and Dick's feet followed the shadows down the hallway. The ceiling, when he dared to glance up, loomed above him. There weren't gargoyles in the building itself, except in a few halls and ballrooms—ballrooms, for crying out loud!—but there were paintings. Large, regal paintings, made with oil and painted with such intricacy that their eyes followed his every step. All of the faces were ghostly, their clothes pristine, their lips curled in smiles that twisted into sneers in the lamplight. One pair of pale blue eyes were wide, as if afraid. Intruder, they seemed to say without words. Imposter.

    Something isn't right with Gotham, with Wayne Manor, and with one Bruce Wayne. Dick Grayson, two months fresh from the loss of his parents and in desperate need of a home he can trust, is determined to find out what.

    Summary

    “No comment.”

    “You don’t know what I was going to ask,” Clark said with a hint of a smile. “Maybe I just wanted to congratulate you on catching the Film Freak.”

    Bruce gave him a flat look.

    “Or maybe I think I can help.”

    “With a case of vandalism?”

    Clark stepped in front of him. “It’s not vandalism and you know it, detective.”

    “And what makes you say that?”

    “If it were vandalism it would be something a lot more juvenile. To the point. It wouldn’t claim there were seventeen missing kids. That’s public outcry.”

    “Is that so?”

    “That and I tried to do a story on the growing number of homeless children last month and I got shut down. According to the last count, the numbers have been decreasing, but there’s been no change in policies, no extra funding to CPS, or shelters, or even an increase in the number of inmates in the juvenile detention center. So where are they going?”

     

    Detective Bruce Wayne may have the highest solve rate in Gotham, but if he wants to solve this case, he’ll need the help of an elusive street kid, and while Dick Grayson always lands on his feet, he usually lands himself right into trouble.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I wouldn't recommend reading this if you aren't a fan of detective stories. I personally thought this was a really good and well written fic, but before anyone gets into it, they should know that none of the characters are superheroes. Also, Dick Grayson goes through quite a lot of sad things in this story so be aware that life isn't too kind to him in this. Otherwise, this was an amazing read.

    While I'm not a fan of the way Bruce Wayne was written in this story, it was still very compelling.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Dick Grayson is forced to roll with the punches his whole life. This unfinished series tackles how Dick deals with these struggles when they seem to drown him and shows how he learns and grows from his various experiences and PTSD. The story starts out with him suffering from his experience with Cat, his ex-girlfriend of sorts, and later goes on as we watch him take down various bad guys (I don't want to spoil too much). It's very well written and I would highly recommend to anyone that isn't afraid of a little angst.
