Now , Nightwing # 82sees Dick react to the shock that the new mayorMelinda Zuccois not only the daughter of the man who killed his parent but that she ’s also his secret half - sister whose beginner was really John Grayson . She takes Dick to her mother , who reveals the truth . According to Meili Lin , she was once the abused wife of Tony Zucco who found a means to escape him at Haley ’s Circus . finally , she met and was protect by John and Mary Grayson , who were n’t yet together at the meter . While Meili stay with the carnival , she and John eventually became involved before Tony showed up to take her back .
