Hey you guys! Okay so this is actually my first batman fanfic, I've written a couple for other series, but decided I wanted my go at batman, or more like Dick and Damian ;)
I have to admit, I LOVE DAMIEN! He's such a little cuddle monkey, but he's just so new (and somewhat complicated) that there's hardly any fanfics with him. The major problem with Damian is keeping him in character, and I really want to do that, but I can't help that I also want him to be a 10 year old cuddle monkey with a handful of complexes.
I truly hope you will enjoy this story, and I hope that I am doing justice to the batman series through this! 3
Okay now for what ever this is called, so you can get what the hell I'm writing
Hahaha = Narration
Hahaha = Direct thoughts
"Hahaha" = Speech

If I sleep now, I can still get 2 and 47 minutes of sleep. Oh shit, why is this so hard? I'm the goddamn Batman!...well I'm trying anyway.
04:18
Crap! Crap! Crap! I've slept three collective hours for the past two days! That board meeting at 9 is gonna be my death. I can't fall asleep again, Lucius won't cover for me forever!
04:19
Aw man! Maybe I should just get up, do something productive? I still need to do some research about the Giovanni family for tonight.

That's it! I'm getting up!
Getting up was a lot easier said than done. My body was moving on borrowed energy, and I didn't posses the mentality to replenish it for what it truly needed. Caffeine can only do so much. Swinging my legs over, against the multiple protests from my body, I sat on the edge of my bed.
Looking over myself makes me feel self-conscious, embarrassed. I've only been Batman for a couple of weeks, and my skins marred with fresh scars, scrapes and wounds.
Driving a hand through my considerably shorter hair, I realized the need for a good shower. I stood up, and walked the short distance to the conjoining bathroom, peeled off the boxer and stepped inside shower.
I released an involuntary whimper as the hot water hit.
New scars
I thought as the water continued to rush in a relentless downpour. It didn't care for my flinches every time water graced my new wounds and scrapes, trying to accustom themselves to the water.
I stared at the glass that separated me and my downpour from the rest of the bathroom, as it slowly became fogged. A childish notion hit me and I lifted one finger, planting it against the glass, running it into a pattern.
A smiley face
"Smile to the world and the world will smile back huh?"
A plastered wicked smile flashed before me. I hastily drew my hand across the drawing.
I turned my face upward toward the water. With closed eyes I attempted to empty my mind, but flashes of criminals kept sprouting out of nowhere. Flashes of muggers, and mafias, of Deathstroke and the Joker. Faces I did not care for in my mind, kept involuntarily appearing.
I needed an action, something else to occupy my mind. I grabbed the shampoo bottle, poured a generous amount.
Too much
I had had to get a haircut. According to Lucius, CEOs didn't run around with mullets. I'd tried telling him that multi-billionaire CEOs might, but he shrugged me off, and got an appointment at a salon. It wasn't exactly short, but it was shorter, and yet another thing to add to my long list of things I should get used to. And fast.
I got out of the shower after some more mulling.

Just great still too early to be roaming the house, or at least supposedly so according to Al.
After getting dressed in a fresh pair of boxers, a crisp t-shirt, and slapping on a pair of sweats, I put my training to good use as I sneaked my way towards the bunker. As the door closed behind me, I released my held breath, before making my way down the stairs.
I may have become the new master of the house, but Alfred would always be the superior one when it came to household power. Even Bruce used to shy away from any sort of confrontation with the man. Naturally I inherited this trait from my mentor.
As I sat down in the chair in front of the massive screen I checked the clock.

Just perfect
Okay so how was it? I realize this is only the prologue, so hopefully you guys like it! ;D
Usually when I write, I have a predetermined plot, but right now I'm just winging it! 1-2-3 it's a test!
Hopefully I'll see you guys in the next chapter, so tuned!
