Baby Dami - Prologue

It was a quiet night in Gotham City and Batman was brooding on top of the Wayne Industries building, like the dark knight that he is. He knows that this is just the calm before the storm. He also knows that the Joker escaped from Arkham Asylum last week. Suddenly he heard footsteps approaching him from behind. He quickly turned around and fell into a fighting position when he recognized who it is. Talia al Ghul. Daughter of Ra`s al Ghul. He immediately thought of the last time he saw her eleven months ago, but quickly disclosed the thought. He really didn't want to think about THAT right now. He also took note of the three members of Talia's elite guard. One of which was holding a bundle of red blanket. She smirked and approached him slowly.

"Hello, beloved." She said as she got closer. It quickly became clear that she was not looking for a fight and he lost his fighting stance.

"Talia." He grunted, eyeing the four women wearily.

"You don't look pleased to see me."

"You normally don't come for social visits. I doubt you would start now."

"You are correct, Detective; this is not why I'm here." She signals with her hand and the woman with the blankets stepped forward and handed it to Talia. The woman tilted head in respect and resumed her former position. Talia then turned back toward Batman with what he identified as an infant in her arms. This alone put him on edge, but when he took note of the young child's black hair as opposed to her dark brown. He was almost picnicking, on the inside. Please, he thought, for once in my life be wrong. Talia then, once again, approached him, slowly. He continued to get increasingly nervous.

"Beloved, this is our son. Damien Wayne." She said handing the small infant to the oldest surviving (known) member of the Wayne family. He, having no prior experience with babies, stood their awkwardly, holding him with both of his hands away from his body. Talia sighed and helped correct him with holding the baby. After she was sure that he was lost in thought, she made a hasty exit. When he looked up and realized that he was once again alone, he swore loudly, which caused Damien to wake up and start crying.

A/N: I'm sorry it is so short. Between pink and Leo it took me 12 hours to type this. Pink is one of the voices in my head and Leo kept making me read those chapters that went up yesterday. Forewarning: she will probably have the next one up soon. I had to read it. Just a heads up: this will be complete fluff. If you are expecting anything serious; stop reading now. Otherwise, read on!
