《Dick Grayson one-shots》Circus Kid
Advertisement
A/N:
There was a loud crash from the kitchen and Bruce immediately panicked and went running towards the sound, thinking his newly adopted 9-year-old son had injured himself. He burst into the kitchen only to find that the source of the noise had been several large Tupperware containers were laying on the ground and Dick was standing in the middle of the kitchen looking at the Tupperware with a confused look on his face.
"Dick, what happened? Are you alright?" Bruce asked, leaning over to pick up one of the fallen Tupperware containers.
"I wanted to juggle and they looked like the closest thing to juggling balls that weren't made of glass."
Bruce chuckled and picked up the rest of the fallen Tupperware, "Why don't we go out and buy you some real juggling balls so you don't have to use Alfred's Tupperware."
Dicks face lit up, like one of those fancy display case's, and he was smiling up at Bruce. "Really?!?!?!?"
"Sure Chum."
"Robin! What are we supposed to be doing?" Black Canary called at the Boy wonder when she noticed that he was doing a handstand walk around the middle of the training room.
"We're supposed to be trying out the new equipment, But it's Wally's turn right now," Robin called back, coming out of his handstand by doing a cartwheel. He was actually correct. They were supposed to be trying out the new equipment, but there was only enough for half of the team to use the equipment at the moment, so they were supposed to be paired up and helping their partner when it wasn't their turn.
Black Canary pinched her nose. Honestly, at this point it was hardly worth it, what with the amount of times she had had to tell Robin to focus on training instead of doing whatever circus thing he was trying or talking to Wally about whatever thing they were planning. "And you are supposed to be helping him, not goofing off."

Rob walked over to Wally where he was attempting to use the new object and put his hands on his hips in a casual way and proceeded to talk to Wally about whatever they happened to think about. Dinah just decided to leave it alone for now.
To say that Alfred was going to have a heart attack when he got back would be an understatement, if he weren't practically immortal.
Dick had gone full out circus kid and turned the Manor into an obstacle course extravaganza. He was very proud of it.
You started standing on the coffee table near the top of the stairs, the plant that was previously there had been moved so it didn't get broken. Then you jumped and grabbed hold of the chandelier, trying to swing enough to make it to the other side of the enormous rug, he said it was Lava, and land in the living room. Once in the living room you crawled under the long tunnel made from chairs and couches that had been knocked over so they made a triangle shaped tunnel. then you had to stomach crawl/slither over the long coffee table and then frog jump over the pots and pans until you made it to the kitchen where you had to chug water for 15 seconds.
Now your probably going to say this isn't all that circus-ey, every kid tries to make an abstacle course at some point in their lives and this kids just a little bit extra with the chandlier, but I kidd you not, this obstacle course was a circus in and of itself.
Just ask Bruce and Wally.
When Kalder entered the cave he found Robin laying on his side on the floor doing something on his holo-glove. Which isn't unussual way to do things, at some point or another everyone lies on the floor leaning on their elbow to keep them propped up and watching something on an electronic.

Kalder passed it off as one of the many unusual land customs. However when he entered the room 5 minutes later he saw Robin laying on the floor the same way, except the top leg was pulled all the way over his head, like that stretch that dancers do sometimes. He was incredibly confused, but kept it to himself. he knew the boy was flexible.
Artemis and Zatana entered the cave to find Robin sitting at the island in the kitchen, however he was sitting on one knee and his other leg was bent at a 90 degree angle with his leg, from knee to foot, resting on the counter. He also had his arms reaching over the counter to grab a cookie.
The two teens breifly paused their conversation to share a look. The position looked incredibly uncomfortable and almost like the one Artemis had seen on a yoga add that had interrupted her youtube video the other day.
M'gann and Conner had found him doing the middle spilts on the couch while he was watching TV in the common room the other day. they'd had an entire conversation via mindlink about what he was doing. (Quick FYI, this is set in season 1, when they were still had a HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP. If you ship them for season 1 that's fine, I liked them in season 1, but phycological abuse is no joking matter, and in season 2 their entire relationship is based on psychological abuse and manipulation, so I no longer ship them because Conner doesn't deserve that type of trauma.)
Wally wasn't even fazed when he saw his best friend subconciously doing some weird circus stretch while just relaxing.
Eventually there was some group discussion about it that had ended in Wally and Artemis arguing because Wally hadn't stopped laughing the whole time. but they eventually grew to accept that their little bird was just like that.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
