Summary
“You know, my child, that the orphanage cannot continue to support you once you become an adult.” The abbess sighs. “There is one path that is always open to you. You may choose a holy vocation, and take orders. The Sisters of Perpetual Grace will accept you as a postulant if you choose.”
Dick had known to expect this. “Thank you, Reverend Mother,” Dick says respectfully, “but I cannot follow that path.”
The Mother Superior nods. He looks unsurprised. “Then perhaps,” he says, “you would be interested to hear of another opportunity.” From the papers on his desk, the abbess removes a single sheet. “Are you familiar with Captain Wayne?”
Dick accepts a position as governess to eight war-orphans, adopted by millionaire and WW1 flying ace Captain Bruce Wayne. The rest is inevitable.

Summary
Dick has friends outside of the hero community. They've been his support system for years. They knew about Nightwing, having figured it put a few years after meeting him. They don't care because their priority isn't the mask but the man underneath.
Meet the friends:
Bridget and Taylor, wives, bakery owners, and foster moms to Julia. (Julia, who goes through a stressful few days in chapter three.)Johnny and his wife Katie with their adorable daughter Ellen.
Newly coupled Andy and his partner Dani.
And self-proclaimed "cool, rich, and forever alone" aunt Jane.
Aka, this started as a short I posted under "Port Side Cannons" then people asked questions that turned into like 4k words.
