16 Years Ago
"You, my sweet Damian are destined for greatness." Talia al Gul said holding the newborn. A nurse walked over with a pink bundle. Talia spotted it and snarled.
"What do you think you're doing?" The nurse paused looking down at the beautiful newborn.
"Giving you your daughter." Talia glared at the pink blanket. There was no way her father would allow the girl to have any power in the league of assassins. He wanted a male heir and he got it.
"I do not know what you are talking about. Damian is my only child." The nurse looked puzzled. Talia was a strange woman.
"Get rid of it. I do not care how but do it." Talia hissed. The nurse noted knowing she was getting paid to help Talia and do as she requested. She started to walk away when both newborns woke up and started crying. The nurse stopped looking at the newborns.
"Go! Never speak of this." Talia growled over the twin wails. The nurse side leaving the room. She glanced at the newborn and couldn't help but frown. She was a beautiful baby and the nurse would make sure she went to a great home. She knew exactly who to take her to. They've been trying for a child for a while.
-A few hours later-
The nurse pulled up to a two story house with a giant flashing sign. It read 'Fenton Works'. She smiled looking back at the baby. The nurse noted and grab the baby. She walked to the front door and knocked. Crashes were heard and then the door opened. A little girl about three years old with ginger hair stood there.
"Hi. Is your mommy and daddy home?" The girl nodded.
"Mommy someone's hewe fow you!" The door open more to reveal a slender woman with darker red hair and a teal hazmat suit.
"Lori! Oh come in. Come in it's been a while since we've seen you." Lori laughed walking in.
"I know it's been years but I have to say this isn't the way I wanted to meet again. I have a favor to ask of you and Jack, Maddie." Maddie nodded motioning to the couch.
"Sit Lori. I need to get Jack and then we can talk." Maddie ran off and Lori sat down and glanced at the baby carrier. The little girl peaked around the chair.
"What hew name?" Lori jumped a little forgetting about the girl.
"She doesn't have one yet. What's yours?" The girl came over to have a better look at the baby.
"Jazz. She cute." Was all Jazz's said to distracted by the baby. Maddie came back in with Jack, a tall dark-haired man with an orange hazmat suit.
"Lori!" Jack yelled causing the baby to wake up with a screech. Their eyes fell to the carrier. Lori sighed getting the baby out and bouncing her.
"This is the favor I wanted to ask. She has no one to take her and give her a home." They watched as the baby calm down just a little. Jazz looked at her with big eyes.
"What happened to hew mommy?" Jazz asked. Lori looked at Maddie and Jack, they wanted to know too.
"Her mother didn't want her but kept her twin brother." They looked shocked.
"Who?" Maddie asked. Lori shook her head.
"Can't tell you. You were the first people I thought of. Please take her. I don't want her to go into the system." They looked at each other then at Jazz who seemed intrigued with the baby. They nodded.
"We'll take her." Lori smiled and handed Maddie the baby.
-13 Years Ago- 3 Years Old-
Damian's POV
Mommy's upset with me because I wasn't paying attention and training. It's so boring though I don't want to know how to use a sword. I just want to play.
"Damian! Pay attention you are the heir if something happens to your grandfather." I pouted. That's all I hear is how I am the heir.
"What is going on with you?"I shrugged and she went back to showing me how to use a sword.
Daniella's POV
"I am going to get you Danny! Rawr!"Jazzy yelled chasing me. I screeched running away from my big sister. She's the bestest big sister ever. We ran in circles until the big gray door open. Mommy and daddy came out with green goo covering them. I ran over to them raising my arms.
"Daddy!" He picked me up and placed me on his hip.
"There's my big guy!"I frowned looking at Jazzy who looked looks confused like me.
"Daddy, Danny's a girl."Mommy patted Jazzy's head.
"Of course dear."
-9 Years Ago- 7 Years Old-
Daniella's POV
"Danny!" I turned at my name and was attacked by my two best friends. Sam was the first to get off. Her real name is Samantha but if you call her that she'll punch you. My other best friend is Tucker and he likes videogames.
"Are we still allowed to come over?" Tucker asked. I nodded as we waited for Jazz. When she came we all walked to our house.
"Daniel Fenton!" I scrunched my nose at the name. It's Daniella get it right. I hated that boy's name.
"Young man get in here." I looked over at Jazz who sent me a sad smile. I went over to where mom was. She had a paper in her hand.
"What is this?" She turned it around and it was my midterm. All B's except for one C.
"You need to do better." I sighed walking over to my friends. They don't know that I am a girl or that I feel like a part of me is gone. I smiled at them.
"Homework first then play." We waved Jazz off and went upstairs when I felt a random feeling of smugness and pride.
Damian's POV
In the middle of training someone thought it would be a good idea to try and attack with the intent to kill me. It was tough since he was bigger than me but I knew no one would step in to save me. I had him on the ground with two swords at his throat and heart.
"Finish him Damian! Prove yourself worthy." I groaned and did what was asked. I looked down at the traitor and smiled. It made me feel whole for a few seconds.
-6 Years Ago- 10 Years Old-
Damian's POV
I watched as Batman stepped out of the shadows. He was not what I pictured at all when Mother talked about him.
"Beloved." Mother greeted him. He did not show any emotions on his face and the cowl blocked out his eyes.
"Talia." His voice was gruff. Mother sighed.
"That is all I get?" He stood there just looking at Mother. Mother clapped.
"Very well. As you are probably well aware father is no longer alive. Now the ones that killed him are now after the heir." He crossed his arms.
"Aren't you the heir?"He questioned. Mother shook her head.
"No, our son is the heir. I need you to take him while I deal with this." I rolled my eyes at the thought of needing a babysitter. I can protect myself just fine.
"Damian, come meet your father." Mother commanded not giving Batman a chance to process. I walked out of the shadows and Mother pulls me in front of her with her hands on my shoulders.
"Bruce, meet our son Damian. I must go." Mother then disappeared into the shadows. Father and I stared at each other with our arms crossed. After a while he sighs and turned walking away.
"Come." I tsked and followed. I thought meeting my father would make the whole disappear but I was wrong. Now I have to follow a strange man that is my father as my mother leaves me as fast as she can. Leaving me irritated with a hint of disgust which I know is not mine.
Daniella's POV
"Danny-boy! Jazzy-pants!" I sighed looking over at my sister. She winced knowing dad has some kind of an invention to show us.
"Kids!" We get up and go down. If we don't he'll bring it to us. We'd rather him destroy the kitchen or living room instead of our rooms. We make it to the stairs to see dad planning a weird looking gun at us.
"Dad!" Jazz yelled making dad jump and press the trigger. Both of us screech as a disgusting green goo covered us. Dad put the gun up by his face looking at it.
"What's this stuff?"I asked trying to brush off the goo. Dad looked up and grinned.
"That my boy is ectoplasm." His reply caused us to roll our eyes Jazz started muttering about ghost not being real and how they're messing up our childhoods.
"Jack!" Mom shouted from from downstairs. Dad rushed down without a word to us just turned to me and started pushing me up the stairs.
"Thank God for the portal." Jazz said making me nod in agreement. If it wasn't for the portal, dad would have ranted and the goo/ectoplasm would have probably dried and been hard to wash off. This stuff might start to smell not knowing what our parents mixed into it.
-2 Years Ago- 14 Years Old-
Daniella's POV
Tucker, Sam, Jazz, and I were all in the lab staring at the giant hole in the wall. I made the mistake of telling Sam about the portal and she wanted to see it. My parents had just finished it the day before and wanted to test it. That's why we're here.
"You kids ready?" Mom asked. We didn't answer but Jazz was mumbling about safety protocols. Dad was over by the plug and waiting for the signal which mom gave. We held our breath as it flickered a few times and died out. Mom and dad deflated knowing the last 14 years went to nothing.
"Let's get some fudge." Mom said going upstairs. Dad followed saying something about fudge curing all. Jazz was next to leave. I walked up to the portal looking in.
"Sucks it didn't work." Sam said walking over. I sighed glancing at her.
"Understatement. They've been building this since I was little. Maybe I can fix it." I heard twin sighs.
"I'm not sure if that be very helpful I mean they are the ones who is forcing you to look like a boy." Tucker said. They both know that I am a girl after catching me wrapping my chest. They were disgusted at my parents and help me out by letting me be girly around their houses.
"I know that but maybe... "I scan over the hazmat suits. I grabbed one that was white with black gloves boots and collar. I slipped it on and turned around facing my friends.
"I can try." They didn't look impressed but Sam walked up to me and ripped my dad's face off the suit and drew a flaming D.
"Fine, but let's take your dad's face off of you." I grinned as she stepped back. I took a deep breath and stepped into the portal. It wasn't that long and I didn't see anything out of place.
"Danny come back. I'm getting a bad feeling." Sam said. I am nod and turned around because I got the same eerie feeling. Halfway I tripped over some wires and shot my hand out to steady myself. In that split-second I saw the word that was written by the button 'ON'.
The next I felt thousands of volts running through me and it felt like I was ripped apart and put back together. The pain I would never wish on my enemy and I hope no one would ever feel. I'm pretty sure I am screaming too.
I blacked out and then I was out of the portal on my knees. I looked up to see Tucker and see him staring at me. I snapped my head to the mirror above the sink. Things on me had changed. My jet black hair was now snowy white, my blue eyes were now a glowing toxic green, and my suit reversed colors. I took calming breaths hearing the foot steps outside the lab door. Glowing bluish white rings appeared in the middle of my body and split in opposite directions.
When it finished I glanced up to see my normal appearance that's when my parents and Jazz came into view. My friends and I shared a look knowing to keep this a secret. My parents fussed over the now working portal.
Damian's POV
I looked around the bat cave with a sneer. Father grounded me from patrol for a week because I got in trouble at school. The others made fun of me by changing in front of me and talked about what they were going to do. Before they got too far Pennyworth came and scolded them. Father should be coming in a moment.
"Aww! Little D lighten up! It's only two more days. I think you can handle it." Grayson said skipping in with Todd and Drake at his side. I tsked at him turning around to look at the back computer. Grayson could have named it better.
"You boys ready?" Father asked breaking up their bickering. I rub the center of my chest absentmindedly making all their eyes turned to me.
"Damian." I glanced up at father who's cowl was off, still rubbing my chest. I have a very uneasy feeling in the metaphorically empty space of myself.
"What's wrong?" Father asked. I go to speak only to squeeze my eyes tightly at the rush of pain from my hand. The pain intensified causing me to fall to the floor as a screen broke out of my lips. Never in my life have I ever felt this type of pain. It's like being electrocuted while simultaneously exploding into pieces. A few more seconds and I open my eyes gasping for a breath. I noticed I was farther from the chair than I thought. I looked over to see everyone. Grayson was crying, Todd was pale, Drake's head was down all three were shaking. Father and Pennyworth were watching me. I could feel myself shaking and tried to set up father raced over pulling me up gently.
"Damian." Father sighed out.
"What happened?" Grayson asked before pulling me into a hug. I did not have enough strength to pull away or protest. I explained what happened leaving out the empty space. When I finished they looked horrified but did not ask anything else once I said I was fine and Pennyworth checked me out.
