   Summary

   Ribs creaked from under his palms, sobs of the woman filling his ears as anger bubbled at his throat.

   Only divine intervention would save the gunner when Nightwing got his hands on him.

   (Tony Zucco died before he faced justice, but he didn’t deserve death. he deserved far, far worse.)

   AKA: Dick and Bruce visits a circus, but after a performer gets shot, Dick is reminded of the haunting night on a trapeze platform in Haly's Circus...
