Robin POV
I was about to bring the girl's food down to her when Grayson came upstairs. "Whats taking so long?"
I scowled at him. "Be a little patient, will you Grayson?"
He glared at me. "Well the poor girl hasn't had anything proper to eat in a while, so no."
I rolled my eyes and made sure the plate was full. A bowl of chicken soup, some grapes, some of Alfred's delicious cookies, some bread to go with the soup. I didn't know what the girl liked so I was gonna try a bunch of different stuff. I brought the plate down to the cave to see the girl laying down, asleep. I set the plate down on the table next to her. I hesitated before sitting in the chair next to the bed and propping myself on my elbows. I played with a string of her hair, thinking about last night.
"I'm sorry," I whispered. The girl seemed to smile and rub her face against my hand. I couldn't resist smiling myself and rubbed her cheek. Wait, what is going on? I'm Damian Wayne, from the League of Assassins and son of Batman, I shouldn't be feeling…whatever this is. But I couldn't help it. The girl pulled at my hand and her eyes cracked open in an adorable manner.
"Stay with me?" she pleaded. I hesitated. If Grayson saw me laying down with this girl, I wouldn't hear the end of it. But then again this girl just lost someone who was in her care, and she was probably beating herself up about it. Oh, screw it. I smiled at her.
"Sure, I'll stay." The girl smiled and scooted over, allowing me to lay down on the bed with her. I pulled her close to me, her face buried in my chest and my head on hers. Then something occurred to me. "By the way, whats your name?"
The girl looked up at me sleepily. "Natalie."
"Natalie." I smiled as she nodded. She snuggled into my chest as I wrapped my arms around her, pulling Natalie closer.
"Good night, Natalie."
"Good night, Robin."
