When William opened his eyes, the van was gone.
Never mind, it was behind them. William looked carefully and saw the masked man cradling his hand as if something powerful had knocked the gun out of his hand. They had a punctured tire, causing the driver to swerve on the road. Soon horns filled the air, made even more colourful by the language the drivers used. It was like a Jackson Pollock painting of cussing.
The agent swerved into another street, and the black van didn't appear behind them. Breathing a silent sigh of relief, they made their way back to the safehouse. She going to have to write one heck of a report.
No-one seemed to notice the hooded child on top of a nearby building,
The next school day, William was on edge.
Who could blame him? There had been an attempt on his life just yesterday. Most people would've stayed home.
William had his head on the desk. Tired, he let out a groan when Damian came up to him.
"Are you feeling alright?" Damian asked, "You do not look so well."
"Yeah, just tired. Had a long night."
Damian gave a small smile. "Back in Gotham, our family had very late nights."
William scoffed. "What, like the Bat-family?
He meant it as a joke, but he saw panic flash in Damian's eyes just for a second, before he quickly recomposed himself.
"I think Gotham would notice if Batman was missing a partner."
Before William could give it more thought, the bell rang and students rushed into the classroom.
The teacher walked to the front of the class.
"Okay, quiet everyone! I'll be taking the roll, but before we do that, we have another new student."
A tall Caucasian boy walked in, with jet black hair and striking blue eyes behind black, square glasses. He smiled at the class, though William saw him eye Damian. Instantly, everyone started whispering.
William heard Damian mutter, "No, no, no, no,no...what the hell is he doing here?"
The teacher told the class to quiet down once more. "Introduce yourself to the class."
The new boy stood up straight and continued grinning. "Hello! Pleased to meet you!"
"My name is Jonathan Kent, but you can call me Jon"
AN: And I'm back! Now I think William would be the same age as Jon, with Damian just being enrolled by Bruce into a class in their age group.
