The rain was pouring down hard, the moon was blocked from the sky, and the citizens of Gotham was running for cover. Above the tall buildings swinging from rooftop to rooftop was the dark Kight hunting for his next victim. All was quiet until the large bat heard a crash coming from the werehouse. The Batman moved swiftly towards the sound not caring to call for back up the Bat jumped into the building from the window; the room was dark and quiet not a criminal in sight until said criminal attempted to sneak up on him.

The knight turned around and saw the one criminal he was never able to defeat... Talia Al Ghul. "Hello beloved," said the she devil. "What do you want Talia," demanded the Bat. "Why beloved; do I honestly need a reason as to why I visit you?" The dark Kight glared at her. "Sigh, there is no getting past you is there; very well I'll cut to the chase. You see I have someone who would like to meet you," the daughter of the demon claimed. When the woman heard no reply she continued "I have made a promise, one that I cannot break seeing that the one I made the promise to can be very determined like someone I know very well," Talia turned to a corner "Damian come out," a boy by the age of ten stalked out of the shadows his guard was up and most of his face was covered by a hood all but his emerald eyes.

Talia secretly smiled at the boy and pulled down his hood; the Bat was shocked for the boy was an exact copy of himself when he himself was ten years old. Talia then dragged the boy to the Bat "Damian this is your father the Batman also known as Bruce Wayne," she announced. Damian examined Bruce "Don't look so suprised father I thought you'd be taller," claimed the boy. Batman was going to protest to Talia but when he looked up the Demon's daughter was already gone.

"So mother has never told you about me," the boy woundered. "No; she hasn't," replied Batman. the man in the Bat suit walked towards the Batmobile as the boy demanded to be the one to drive only to be turned down every time. The ride towards the batmobile was silent with Damien glaring at his father. When the two finally arrived at the batcave the others had left for the night only Alfred the butler and lifelong friend of Bruce Wayne remains ready for any injury the Batman may have gained during his crusaid.

Damian looked around "where are the rest of the servents," the boy asked Alfred. "I am the sum total young master Damian," replied the old man. "You have only one servant," complained Damian. "He's not a servant; he's a friend," said Bruce as he pulled off his mask, "Alfred why don't you lead Damian to his room I'm going to be staing here a while." The Butler nodded knowing that his master always broods after his nightly outings. "Can't I stay with you," complained Damian. "No it's late why don't you go to sleep," answered Bruce. "I'm an Al Ghoul, I don't need any sleep," Daiman said with a yawn. "Then why don't you go and see if your room would be adecuate," asked Alfred. "Very well I shall go to my quarters I shall see you in the morning father," the demon's heir yawned.

After several hours of brooding the Batman has decided that he done enough research for the night and that he should go to bed before Alfred dragged him there. Bruce shed from his uniform when he saw a flash drive on the floor not far from the Bat suit. Bruce being his regular curious self plung the flashdrive intothe main frame he scanned through the files each one more reveailing then the last showing Batman something he never thought was possible.

Meanwhile:

Upstairs Damian was "examining" his room when he asked Alfred where was his father's quarters the Butler pointed down the hall. Leaving Damien angry why wasn't he next to his father's room. The Butler said that "Master Bruce has other family members staying here for the night in their own quarters, is there a problem with that young master?" The boy didn't resond but boy was he furious his mother never told him that Bruce Wayne had anyother family members other then the ones that are currently six feet underground.

The heir to the demon's throne couldn't sleep that night so he decided to visit the rooms of the supposedly 'other family members' he walked across the cold floor of the lonley halls. he walked with such quiet until he met with the first door being the farthest other then his. The door had a name plate with the name Cassandra on it. Across that door was another one had the name Stephanie on it. As Damien got closer and closer to his father's quarters he saw more and more names. Tim, Jason, Barbara. Until he saw the door closest to his father the door was certainly one with character loaded with stickers of all kinds from birds to kittens even some acrobats frozen in midair. The name plate had more of a nickname then an actual name it was titled Dixie, Damien took a deep and grabbed the door knob and twisted the knob when a hand grabbed his shoulder.

Damien turned to see his father his face filled with anger. "What are you doing going into a room when you know that theres someone sleeping inside.
