Hey Dad

by WrenNightingale

The Batkids write letters to Bruce that were never meant to be read. All characters may be OOC and includes my OC. Young Justice verse with Damian and Jason as Red Hood included. Letters are inspired by the song Emotionless by Good Charlotte and also a youtube video with the song called Hey Dad- Robins by Shadoukun.

1. Damian

Father,

Grayson told me that writing a letter would make it easier for me to get my thoughts and feelings out rather than trying to talk. I am unsure of how writing such things would be beneficial yet I am willing to try it out. Please do not inform Grayson that I have gone through with his idea.

When I first met you, when Mother finally brought me to you, I am unaware of what kind of man you would be. I thought that maybe you were like Grandfather in some way for all I was told while growing up between my time training and lessons that you were the Batman, a man to be feared. I could only ever picture what what you might look like because I was never shown anything beyond what my trainers as you called them wanted to show me. Then when I met you and began to understand you and the world I knew nothing about and had no idea how to react to anything without the violence that was bred into me. The world in which I grew up was about power and ruling over others which I have come to realize is a world that I do not want anymore. For the world that I want to be in is the one with you Father, both Graysons, Gordon, Brown, Cain, and even Todd and Drake. Please do not repeat that to any of them. Pennyworth has even grown on me. (A/N Cause who could resist Alfred's cookies?)

I do not know where I would be without the guidance that has been given to me by our large family. And Father I forgive you for your disappearance and having us all believe that you were dead for that year. Grayson and Marianne showed me what love truly was and did their best to bring Todd and Drake back to the Manor. Though neither would stay long, Todd would only stay so long and Drake would be gone to search for you because he was the only one to believe that you weren't actually dead. It is good to have you back Father. Yet the one thing that I cannot forgive you for is the treatment that my older siblings have received upon your return. They do not deserve to be thrown aside the way that you have done and taken away their home once more. So if you can find the time I would recommend that you try to correct this because I am becoming tired of one Grayson acting like a child while the other withdraws into herself not letting anyone in. also Todd and Drake are not much better off. So I will ask you to so something.
