Today was a...
Forget it. The weather wasn't all that great today, either.
With a burger clenched between his teeth, he speared the last piece of fried egg with his fork and casually opened the freshly delivered Gotham Gazette with his left hand.
"Flying Graysons' Wings Clipped: Circus Tragedy Strikes Beneath the Stars"
"Oh?"
Frowning, he skimmed the article. It described the heartbreaking accident the night before, dwelling on the Graysons' glorious past and the horrific scene, every line lamenting the fickleness of fate. The report also mentioned that Bruce Wayne had been present and had immediately attempted to help.
"Tsk..." Li Jie clicked his tongue. As a law enforcement officer, he instinctively had reservations about accidents like this. Gotham's man-made disasters were far too competitive. Accidents never even got a chance to take the stage.
His gaze swept down to the final paragraph, printed in slightly smaller type:
"...Sources report that Mr. Bruce Wayne, president of Wayne Enterprises, was deeply saddened by this tragedy. Following urgent consultations with City Hall and the Child Welfare Agency, he has formally decided to become Dick Grayson's guardian and take the orphaned boy into Wayne Manor. Mr. Wayne stated that he would do everything in his power to help Dick through this difficult time and provide him with the best possible education and future."
"Uh-oh!"
This should be... one of the Robins. He remembered the highly distinctive name Dick Grayson, but couldn't recall which numbered Bat-kid he was.
"Ah... congratulations to Master Wayne on his surprise fatherhood."
He swallowed his burger and took a couple of gulps of coffee. At the end of the article was a statement from the organizers, expressing profound grief for the victims and sincere apologies to the audience, along with solemn promises to comprehensively upgrade their safety standards.
