After dani left amity to travel the world, she thought the best way would be to join a traveling circus.
Haley’s Circus
So she joins the performers as a trapeze artist (she used her flight to help her)
Very quickly, the Graysons end up taking her under their wings, and help her with her stunts. Dick was 7 when she joined their little family.
Dick was eight when he watched her die.
Dani was a quicker learner, so on that fateful day, she went up in the platform with John and Mary and fell to her death 20 seconds later.
But halfas never truly die, do they?
She wakes up in a body bag and phases out with invisible.
After some light research, she finds out that Dick is being fostered by a Billionaire and decides that Dick would be safer with Wayne than with her, so she leaves, coming back to check in him every birthday and death day of his parents.
In the meantime, Dani took a detour to the Infinite Realms and found John and Mary, explained who she really was and updated them on Dick regularly.
Dick never mentioned her to anyone, and Bruce never brought her up and Dick went the next 15 years without seeing Dani, and eventually, she became a distant memory until he caught a glimpse of her while on a mission with his family.
Dani was now around 28, and the GIW had finally caught up to her. Just when she thought she was about to die, the Agent got body slammed by Nightwing, a confused Red Hood and Red Robin following him.

Had a thought. Not sure if anyones done this (if so, please let me know. I'd love to give it a look) .
Dick Grayson grew up in a circus. I'm assuming like most circuses, there's at least one Clown. Baby Dickie loved the Clown at Haley's. Adult Dick not so much.
As like anyone who spent prolonged time in Gothan, he's now scared/alarmed by Clowns and being a trained vigilante, he also typically favours fight over flight.

Dick Grayson and Aang
ok but upon watching Avatar the Last Airbender (probably as a kid, but maybe as a young adult) for the first time, Dick Grayson would at first be really into it but progressively relate to Aang more and more.
Carefree young boys raised in a nomadic society, free to roam with their friends & family: Haley’s Circus + Graysons // Air Nomads + Aang’s friend’s all over the world
and when they are separated from their families and culture through death (Dick + Aang) and time (mostly Aang, but arguably most of Dick’s life spent away from the circus) and make a new family with the people that they meet along the way to fix the world and use their abilities for good:
Circus and the Grayson’s Romani heritage --> Dick is part of the Batfam and becomes a vigilante with the intention of catching Tony Zucco.
Meanwhile Southern Air Temple and the Air Nomads --> Aang meets Katara and Sokka, and later the rest of Gaang doing his best to fulfil his duty as Avatar to stop the Fire Nation, the people that committed genocide against his community
Despite their circumstances, both boys put on a brave face and do their best to cheer up those around them, unafraid to show emotions or shy away from hard work. (they’re also both total dorks and I love them for it)
While going on their various life journeys, Dick’s growth from Robin to Nightwing and Aang’s forced character growth before Sozin’s Comet, both boys have to blend into their new worlds without trying to forget their past and their true motivation.
I feel its less obvious for Dick, especially as Nightwing, but occasionally we get hints (in comics, movies, games etc) about his family’s culture and traditions, or reminders about the Robin name and colours.
On the other hand is Aang’s clear struggle to balance himself, a goofy airbender who happens to also be the Avatar, with someone who is grieving his entire people and feels the weight of expectation and fear of letting his culture and its teachings die out as the sole survivor. This becomes even more apparent (to me at least) when Aang is trying to find a way out of killing Ozai. He knows he can’t let Ozai go unpunished, but he also doesn’t want to go against the Air Nomad teachings as its sole student, to kill him, or perhaps he is scared and clinging to the only thing he can, his principles.
Either way, I feel like as much as Dick (and all the batfam to be honest) would love Avatar the Last Airbender, Dick would relate to the show and Aang the most. And when he watched one of the last episodes, where Aang struggles to balance his heritage with his duty - his past and his present - with the Lion turtles, you best bet Dick Grayson was Feeling Things (and thats ok)
they also both have angsty red brother figures - i.e. Zuko and Jason

The circus knows that Dick became Robin and then Nightwing.
Listen they know that kid! They know how he operates. They were worried at first but before they left they talked to Dick and Dick was absolutely ecstatic so they decided to keep their mouths shut.
Like they let him fly on the trapeze, they probably wouldn’t have blinked at him being a vigilante.
They make stops at Bludhaven now to say hi and read up on his pursuits.
They always knew he was meant for the center stage.

I love the hc that if Danny stays in one position for too long, his body starts to lock up, just like rigor mortis. And with that, I love the idea of Danny basically becoming a body contortionist. It freaks people out and I think it would add to the Danny Fenton is the Local Cryptid first, not phantom.

Is Zitka, Dick’s stuffed Elephant that is in a lot of Fanfic, fanon or canon?
I’m hoping it’s canon but I still love her if she wasn’t.
I love when she goes from one sibling to the next and then back to Dick’s bed in the Manor waiting until she’s needed again. Or when even Bruce uses her, which I swear I read a fic like that but it just might be my headcanon. Alfred does also but no one knows for certain.
It’s a right of passage in a way to cuddle Zitka. You have your own stuffed animals but Zitka is always there, waiting to be used. She’s the best kept secret that isn’t a secret.

So we’re all in agreement that little baby Dick Grayson is definitely watching Jimmy’s Flamebird videos on John and Mary’s phones?
#he believes Jimmy wholeheartedly#he is enamored with Superman stories#he watches Jimmy’s Flamebird videos#and news segments from Metropolis#he’s obsessed#John and Mary and the whole of Haley’s circus are so tired of hearing about Superman#but little Dick is so excited and so they just smile and nod as he talks and talks and talks#dc stuff#maws#my adventures with Superman
