   Summary

   “I think…the qualities I’m trying to redeem in you are the ones I love the most,”

   ***
   Dick Grayson has fond memories of you. He remembers the laughs and he candies the two of you shared while hiding in the costume tents. The happier days where he had no responsibilities, his parents were alive, and you were another innocent child with a dream to be on the circus stage.

   What happened to you when he left?

   Reunions were supposed to be heartfelt. However, now you and Dick stood on the other sides of a line. You were a villain and he was a hero. You had done horrible things that you cannot come back from, no matter how many times he tries to pull you back into the light. No matter how many times he cries and begs you to change. No matter the amount times the both of you beat each near to death.

   Emotions are always such a mess.
