(¸.• ♛ → she was now on her break, this was just perfect, a bit of piece and now she was just here in the park and having a walk while she drinks her coffee. however, something or well, someone bumped into her or just ran toward her, it was a dog. “oh, no, no, that’s okay, i love dogs, she’s very cute.” and she didn’t mind, she does like dogs, is not like she has one but she does like them.

“Thanks. She’s a rescue. Kinda. I found her on the street, maybe I kidnapped her but probably not based on how hungry she was.” He grinned a little, looking between the two before he let his eyes slide over the woman in front of him. "I think she's probably trying to make new friends, we just moved here and we aren't staying long but she's a fan of attention and I guess I wasn't giving her enough." He crouched down scratching the dog behind the ears and quietly telling her she was a good puppy. "Do you live in the city or just visiting?"

Clark stares up at the man, mind going several thousand miles a minute, hand abandoned to Haley’s maw. He’s concentrating so intently on trying to place the man’s voice that he almost misses the crrrrk of little teeth reaching something close to their breaking point. Softly he withdraws his hand from Haley’s mouth, moving to scritch her behind the ears instead as he continues to stare at her owner. The piercing headache that’s been plaguing him the past few days is back, but he concentrates through it, narrowing his eyes.

He’s on his feet probably too quickly, hands going to the other’s shoulders. “R-… Dick…? What happened to you?” Voice low and urgent, Clark’s eyes dart over his face, then he tips his head down to look over the rims of his glasses, eyes flashing just the faintest amount as he glances over the other’s brain. Fully formed adult. He restrains himself from scanning him from head to toe, but just barely. “Are you all right?” He seems all right, he was speaking normally, if rambling a bit, but - he’s got to be in his twenties.

“Robin?” he mouths silently.

Dick stared at the man for a few minutes, clearly confused by whatever was happening. It wasn’t often that things caught him off guard in this way, but Clark was staring at him so... What was he even looking at him like? Dick couldn’t place the man’s expression and it certainly wasn’t what he had expected to get as a greeting. “What do you mean what happened to me?” His voice was lowered as well, bewilderment crossing his features before he started to look over his own body. He wasn’t entirely sure what he’d expected to find, he knew he wasn’t injured, his clothes were very on brand for him, Clark had seem him two weeks ago there wasn’t a whole lot of time for change so what on earth was this man on about? 

“I’m totally fine Clark, I don’t understand what’s happening right now though so if you wanted to enlighten me that would be swell.” His nose wrinkles at the name he seems on Superman’s lips, the sound didn’t come out but Dick was able to understand well enough. “Not for several years now but I’ll always be the original I suppose.” Dick’s eyes flicked around them, searching for anyone who might be listening in, “are you feeling okay?” He finally asked. Honestly he had no idea if the Kryptonian could even get sick but something was wrong. 

Very wrong. Innocently he crouched, picking up Haley and holding her close to his chest before whispering, knowing that the other man would have no problem hearing, “you gotta tell me what’s happening Supes, you’re starting to scare me here.”

barbara liked the feeling of big cities around here. there was a sense of anonymity that came along with it, while still allowing her to feel like she didn’t have to blend in with everyone and everything else. dog-earing one of the pages of her book as she realized that she’d been reading the same paragraph for the past five minutes, she closed it before tucking it back into her bag. she had a comfortable place at work to take her breaks behind closed doors, but staring at a computer screen was already enough - she needed more activity than just that. as she started to gather the trash from her lunch, she didn’t see the apparent ball of fur launching itself right at her, before jumping up onto her knees. “you’re too late, buddy. my sandwich’s gone,” barbara responded with a laugh, only to pause as she heard the voice. she’d know it anywhere, and she couldn’t help the sense of relief she felt at knowing that he was here too. “well, if dick grayson’s here, i don’t think she’s the only menace to society anymore,” barbara responded in a teasing tone, idly scratching the top of the dog’s head as it seemed to make itself comfortable in her lap. 

   “I can’t believe you would starve an innocent dog Barbara.” He clicked his tongue, a habit he’d picked up from Damian for the sole reason of bothering Tim. His tone toeing the line between teasing and a disappointed lecture, “what happened to doing things for the greater good. Helping those in need? A real piece of work you are.” Dick broke into a grin, honestly extremely happy to see one of his oldest friends in front of him. The city suddenly felt just a little more tolerable. “You wound me Babs. Deeper than anything else in this world the the rest ever could. I hope you’re proud.” The man squinted at his dog, both confused and annoyed that she’d taken such an immediate liking to Babs when she’d bitten him on their own first meeting. Traitor. “You’re a long way from Gotham.” He spoke slowly, clearly wanting to say more but knowing this wasn’t the time or place to do so, “for a while now according to B. Seems a bit weird that no one told me.” Dick kept his expression blank as he watched her, though he had a feeling she would piece together the fact that he wasn’t exactly thrilled with that fact, “six weeks is a long time Barbie.”

Clark wonders idly if there’s some sort of Mad-Libs for low level bureaucrats, the park official’s speech is so predictable. For a half second, he wishes for some sort of distraction so he’d have an excuse to slip away, but no, it’s a perfectly calm day. Even the plane in the middle of the Colorado thunderstorm he’s been keeping an ear on is just fine -

A warm mass barrels right into the back of his legs, and immediately bounces off. He turns quickly, afraid - it’s a dog, has she hurt herself on his body? - but no, the puppy tilts her head up at him and keeps wagging away. A grin breaks across his face and he immediately kneels, happily abandoning the pretense of paying attention to the speech in favor of offering his hand for her to sniff and/or nibble.

“A menace to society? No way. And here I thought she was just a good girl.” He grins up at the dog’s presumptive owner, still offering his hand for sacrificial teething. “What’s her name?”

Dick would be lying to himself if he didn’t say that the sight of the man alone didn’t cause a sense of relief in him. He had only been in town for a few minutes and honestly he was already getting a weird feeling. Out of everything Bruce had taught him the paranoia was definitely the most prominent. B had other names for it; vigilance, awareness, detective skills, blah blah other important things. It was paranoia, drilled into him from the young young age of nine. Due to his inappropriate amount of paranoia he couldn’t stop himself from repeatedly looking over his shoulder, almost feeling as though someone were watching him. 

“Clark thank the gods. I needed a familiar face here.” He vaguely gestured toward the dog, an almost lovestruck smile coming over his face as he watched her, “that’s Haley. Found her on the street, some dumb asses were harassing her and you know me. I took her to the vet and stuff and then told Timmy that I was dropping her off at the pound in the morning. I got attached though and one thing led to another. Now we’re here.” 

He continued to eye Haley was she almost cautiously tried to chew on the man’s hand, seemingly both confused and delighted with the results. “Why are you here? I feel like I just saw you and you didn’t say anything about staying this far from Metro.”

Now Spike had never been a warm and fuzzy creature. The days of being that way had only brought him pain so why even bother to be warm in a world so cold? It was such a waste of time. But it was very clear that the normally broody vampire was more upbeat ever since him and Drusilla got more and more serious in their relationship. It almost felt like the days apart never truly took place, that they had always been side by side even though he knew that to not be the truth. Just walking down the pavement, head full of thoughts, he frowned when he was snapped out of them by a dog. Humans, he hated. Animals? He actually liked. “Oh no it’s fine” he assured and then shook his head. “I could never stay mad for too long. Just look at that face”

Dick let out a small breath when the other man didn’t seem upset by Haley. Honestly he wasn’t sure how the small creature could bother anyone, but he knew that some people didn’t like animals. Those just weren’t people that were worth trusting or interacting with at all frankly. “Yeah she’s definitely got some superpowers inside her. The look at her face coupled up with the missing leg, I was done for the second I found her.” He looked down at her, watching her play around their feet, not a care in her tiny puppy world. “I’m hoping eventually she’ll settle a bit and I won’t be chasing her all over, but at this point it’s all just part of her charm. Plus we’re new to the area and she has significantly less fear about just taking off to explore. Who knows, it might even come in handy.” He eyed the man for a moment, never letting his grin wavier, “you been here long?”

“At least she’s not a great dane. Then I would be laying on the ground.” Gar chuckled, looking at the dog that had ran straight into his legs. “Dick?” Raising his brow, he knew he recognized the voice but he hadn’t made the connection yet as the dog had been a little too distracting. “Oh my god, it’s so good to see you.” Without any warning, he hugged the other, glad to finally see someone he knew. “You have no idea how great it is to see a familiar face. I thought I was here all by myself. As much as I love staring at a tv screen and play some videogames, I’ve missed some human interaction. Not that I was a complete hermit, I met a couple of people here and there.”

“Damian doesn’t really let people borrow Titus so I guess I’ll just stick with a non knocking people over pup.” Dick happily returned the hug, though he couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of confusion over the fact that the kid was here. “I’m always happy to see you, you know that. What are you doing here though?” He pulled back, raising an eyebrow as he looked over the young man in front of him. It was always nice to see a familiar face, but the fact that even more people he knew were here than he’d originally been aware had him convinced something suspicious was going on. The puppy jumped at his heels as he bent over, snatching her up and cradling her like a baby while he rubbed her stomach. “I’m sure you spent all your free time in the sunshine and outdoors and definitely did not hide away and play video games. That would be a ridiculous thought, wouldn’t it?” He smirked a bit, glancing around the street that they were on, unable to stop himself from checking for danger. “Did you come here by yourself?”

Parker was bored. She had no where new to break into. Hardison seemed content, he could always hack things. She clapped her hands together while she walked. She heard the barking but made nothing of it until it collided with her legs. She was very sturdy on her feet and just sort of looked down at the dog then back up at the man. “Do you not train her?” Parker was blunt by nature. Often saying the first thing that came to her mind. She had gotten better but without Nate or Sophie around to police her she’d just say what she wanted. 

That was... Harsh but fair. Dick really couldn’t argue with her question, though he didn’t love the nature of it. It wasn’t his fault per se that she wasn’t trained, she hadn’t been been living with him two weeks and he’d already packed her up and moved her way too far from home chasing a lead that might not even exist. His eyes flicked over the woman before giving her a far too bright smile, “I picked her up off the street just a few days ago and honestly I was just excited that she stopped biting. I probably got a bit ahead of myself bringing her out here to just run around, I tried the whole leash and collar thing but she keeps slipping out of it. I’m sorry if she bothered you.”

     Feeling the bump to her leg, Yelena’s eyes slowly trailed down towards her leg where the small three legged pup stood. Kneeling down to appear like much less of a threat to the adorable ball of fur, her hand held out allowing it to have a sniff of her scent before she sent her hand to the top of it’s head, scratching behind her ears. “Your a little menace to society, huh?” Yelena asked the dog after hearing the man’s words, a smirk etching onto the corner of her lips. “That’s a good little girl, you keep being a menace.” The Russian Widow chuckled, following up with a few light pats on the pup’s head. Yelena smiled, rising to stand and look towards the dog’s owner, giving him a small nod. “Your dog is cute, I miss my dog back home, before I woke up here that is.. I hope she’s okay… What’s her name?”

Dick laughed as he watched the blonde, his eyes scanning over her before he relaxed a bit and turned his attention to the puppy. Haley, seemingly over her stranger danger, was happily melting into the woman’s hand. “Don’t encourage her, I just barely got her to stop biting.” His tone was light as he watched him, listening intently while she spoke. “Thanks,” he spoke cautiously though his tone was light, what did she mean by woke up here? “Her name is Haley and I love her very much. I found her on the street last week. She’s already horribly spoiled.” Dick grinned while he stretched a little, bouncing up and down on his feet, “Where’s back home?”

“I get it okay? You’re clearly unhappy about our trip. You wanted to stay home. I ruined your life by bringing you here. That sum it up?” He stared down at his three legged pup who seemed to bark in agreement, causing him to nod once. “Next time I’ll drop you off at Tim’s okay? My bad for trying to spend time with you.” Originally it had seemed like a great idea to bring Haley along with him, trailing behind Bruce and trying to see what could be taking so long on the lead, but clearly his puppy was unimpressed with him. “You know most dogs would be trilled that- _Not again.” _He stared down at the ground where she had just been, shaking his head he started looking around, scanning for where she might have gotten off to. She never went far but it still wasn’t an ideal situation. After a moment of searching Dick saw her tail, wiggling between people most likely in search of a snack, starting after her with quick purposeful movements he watched with a hint of amusement in his eyes as she stopped and stared at him, bouncing a bit before turning and running straight into someone’s legs. “I’m so sorry about that! She’s nine pounds and a menace to society.”

> amy never gave up hope, one day would she see the blue box in the sky, or appear up on the streets “did you see that?” she asked whoever was nearby to hear her question “was it a blue bird or something else? i thought it was…” she paused. no, she might only see what she wanted to see·“this is annoying. why can’t you just take me away from here” she mumbled·“you stupid man, you can’t just leave me” she added with a sigh / @hiddenstarters·

Dick’s eyes flicked from the sky to the girl, not knowing what exactly it was he was supposed to be seeing. Before he could respond she was talking again, ever the gentleman he stood quietly and waited, continuing to stare off in the direction that she was. Maybe she wasn’t even speaking to him, that would be fair, it could have been a bit presumptuous for him to assume that the conversation at been for him. At her next statement a grin spread across his face,·“Come on now, that’s not really fair, yes I’m a bit stupid but you don’t even know my name so how could you know that already?”

Dick Grayson Introduction

Was that [JESÚS CASTRO]? Oh no no, that was just [DICK GRAYSON], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [DC]. They are [TWENTY FOUR] years old and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long. {ooc: Ashley, 23, EST, She/Her}

how long has your character been here

Dick just showed up, trailing after some members of his family as well as some friends who all seemed to be migrating towards the area. He’s already missing home and feeling more than a bit anxious about the environment. 

what is your character's job

Richard Grayson is a recent billionaire who is in the process of creating a foundation to serve the poor and overall create a safety net for the city of Blüdhaven. He is both nervous and proud of this new step in his life. When he’s not working on his foundation he can be found volunteering at youth centers, often teaching gymnastics and helping with homework. 

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom

The latest Nightwing run written by the amazing Tom Taylor. Following the death of Alfred Dick Grayson inherited all his money, finding out that the man who did his laundry and served as a second father to him had been sitting on billions of dollars all that time. He’s using that money for good, trying to make the man proud. He is also the owner of an adorable three legged puppy named Haley aka Bitewing. She is his pride and joy though he keeps trying to convince himself and those around him that she isn’t staying and he doesn’t have time for her. While this Nightwing is my inspiration I am more than happy to tweak things to make it fit with anyone else’s story. 

has any magic affected your character

Not yet, though that’s likely to change as he settles into the city and his new life there. 

and any other information you might find useful for us and the other members to know!!

- Dick Grayson is still a circus kid at heart, he holds on tight to those roots not willing to let go of that part of him 

- Despite their often rocky past his family is extremely important to him and he will go to great lengths to protect them 

- He is one of the only people who can truthfully say that they can call any superhero in the world and have them answer

- The OG Robin, though he loves every remix that came after him he often worries about the implications and lasting effects that being Robin had on him as well as the others 

- Moonlights as Nightwing, the name came from a story Superman told him and he knew it was destiny as soon as he heard the name 

- Golden boy, boy wonder, literal ball of sunshine, human equivalent of a gold retriever

- Constantly having an identity crisis 

- Consumes too much cereal 

- Way too flexible
