My Father's Eyes Are Blue

By

Part 2

It took Dick Grayson two hours to find Damian. He didn't expect to find him in a fight with their father, Bruce Wayne.

"WHY DIDN"T YOU TELL ME WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED!" Damian yelled. "Didn't I have a right to know? When were you going to tell me, when I was his age?"

"Damian," Bruce sat calmly at the computer, letting his son continue to rant for a few seconds more.

"What were you thinking? That I wasn't old enough to know? You should have told me the FIRST DAY!

"DAMIAN!"

The quick sharp command of his name snapped Damian out of his rant. The scowl remained on his face, apparently still angry with his father for keeping such an important secret.

"Damian, I don't know what you're talking about. You come storming down here . . ."

"I'm talking about GRAYSON!" Damian interrupted.

"What about your brother," Bruce asked, as he continued to enter the results from the Strige Case.

The word nearly infuriated Damian further, yet he couldn't deny what the DNA test results had shown. Richard T. Grayson was more than just the adopted son of Bruce Wayne. He was Bruce Wayne's first son, born to a lowly circus performer, and more likely heir to the Wayne fortune. Damian almost cracked a smirk at that thought. 'His Mother probably would go ballistic if she knew.'

"What . About . Your . Brother?" Bruce asked again a bit more slowly and turning toward Damian so he had his full attention. He briefly saw that Dick was standing up on the stairs.

"Don't call him that!"

"Told you didn't he?" Bruce surmised. "It's about time. I was hoping he would get you to see the truth."

"What do you mean?" Damian's eyes narrowed.

"If you remember Damian, I told you about Dick when you first arrived, that he was your brother. But you refused to acknowledge him."

"BECAUSE HIS NAME ISN'T WAYNE! IT'S GRAYSON!"

"Did you ask him why he didn't take the name Wayne? It is his legal right."

"LEGAL . . ." Damian didn't say anything at first, then crossed his arms and admitted, "No, I didn't."

"Damian, listen. When I met Dick, I had no idea who he really was, that he was my son. I saw an angry ten-year-old who lost his parents because someone murdered them, just like someone murdered my parents. He was going to go to the police, but the police of Newtown were corrupt. Most of them were in Boss Zucco's pocket. He would have been dead within two hours if he had reported it."

"So, you took him in because you felt sorry for him," Damian's words were biting. "He should have died," Damian muttered. "I thought I was your only true son. You should have told me."

In the background Dick flinched, as he listened to his father and brother. Damian was really upset, and he didn't blame him, but the words Damian spouted out cut Dick like a knife. He thought Damian cared for him after all they had been through together. Dick walked back up the stairs to his room, shaking his head trying not to let the hurt overwhelm him. To hear Damian say he should have died, that shook Dick to his core.

'He's just upset. It's going to take some time for him to adjust. Who are you kidding Grayson. You know how Damian has felt. He's made it clear on several occasions, even when I was Batman. He believes he's Bruce's only biological son. Well, maybe if I leave for a while, if I can't get him to see reason, maybe Bruce can.'

Dick walked back to his room and pulled a suitcase out of his closet and packed what he could. He looked back at his room and sighed forgetting about the papers that were still scattered on the floor. He grabbed his jacket and keys and quietly left the Manor.

A/N: This is turning out to be longer than I thought. I will post the extended version of this story. For now, Dick has left and we don't know what happened after. Did Bruce talk with Damian further? Did Damian see reason? Read more in the extended version of this story. Posting will begin soon.
