In a way one of the worst memories of his teenage years had nothing to do with crime fighting.Ā
It had everything to do with teenagers being assholes and the power of shame. It had everything to do with Dick being 15 and a part of the mathletes.Ā
It had everything to do with Dick having to stick his nose in everything, no matter if he wore the scaly pants or not.Ā
The story began with Dick confronting a bully, Matthew Penthurst, about something he said to another mathlete. Nothing big or unusual but Dick had had enough.Ā
Being a bit nerdy had never been a problem until Matthew transferred to Gotham Academy shortly before Christmas during sophomore year. And suddenly everyone made fun of them and even people Dick had been friends with, grinned or made dumb jokes when it came up.
He hated it. Nobody made fun of him being in the gymnastic team but everyone thought it funny to call him a virgin because he liked math and competition and wasnāt allowed to compete in gymnastics on a higher level than regionales because of hisĀ āsecret identityā. It was unfair. And annoying. And Dick wouldnāt stand for that.
He didnāt even get the brunt of the bullying. No, Dick was popular by comparison. He was still Bruce Wayneās ward after all. And funny. And conventionally attractive (if scrawny). No, the other kids had it so much worse.
Their cars got egged, they got name called, they got harassed. And the school administration did nothing because Matthewās dad was a governor. A rich governor who paid for the new school library.Ā
So, of course Dick had to take the matter in his own hands. He wasnāt a coward after all. He fought crime each night, he should be able to handle a schoolyard bully.
He wasnāt.
