...When You Find Out Your Mother Was Involved...

"She hates me now…" Damian buried his head in his hands.

"hat do you expect, Damian?" Ali said softly as she leaned against the computer desk. "You lied to her…You slept with her friends."

"And you lied to her." Wayne smirked from the Batmobile.

"Don't you say another word before I-."

"Wayne Todd, you are grounded until you leave for The Underworld. Which means no Iris." Ali was surprisingly stern. "What you did was wrong. You had no right telling Livy what Damian did."

"So what do you want me to do, Mom? Keep it a secret like you did?" Wayne pointed.

"You knew about this?" Jason asked as he entered the Batcave. "You knew that Damian was whoring around Titans Tower?"

"I-Jason-."

"You knew and didn't tell Livy?"

"What do you want me to tell her, Jason? Hey, the guy you love is having sex with everyone in Titans Tower! Even your own best friend! Did I mention he also had gay sex?"

"WHAT!" Wayne shouted. "You had sex with…"Wayne stopped and took a step forward. "You had sex with Iris?" His eyes glowed with flames; steam exited out the corners of them.

Ali quickly stepped in front of Damian. "Honey, power down. Please. He…It wasn't Damian's fault."

"You knew about that, too!" Wayne shouted as his hands burst into flames. "You knew about it and didn't tell me!"

"Honey, you where thirteen…So was Damian…and Iris. It was her birthday…" Ali began to tremble. "Iris was the one who wanted to have sex with Damian. As much as they tried to keep it to themselves…I found out about it." Ali looked back at Damian. "I know…It was wrong of me to keep all of that a secret. But I didn't want this to happen. I was trying to protect my family from shattering like this. But," She looked back at Damian, "As wrong as it was for me to keep it a secret, it was even more wrong for you to do that to your Nephew, Damian. For once in a long time, I am gravely disappointed in you."

"What!" Damian shouted. "You where the one who didn't open your mouth!"

"It wasn't my place to tell them." Ali said softly. "You're the one who slept with my sons best friend. If you truly knew it was wrong, you would have spoken up. So It's not entirely my fault, Honey."

"You," Jason pointed at Damian, "If I ever see you near Livy again…You're dead."

"Jason…"

"I mean it, Ali. I will shoot him."

"No you won't." Ali took a step towards him.

"And I'll kill you when I'm done with Iris." Wayne growled.

"Honey, please. Don't do something you'll regret. Wayne, just…please, don't hurt her." Ali walked over to her son and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you…" She said softly.

Wayne powered down and looked his mother in the eye. His eyes watered. "I…I love her, Mom. And she…" He looked down and trembled. "She fucking betrayed me!"

Ali pulled her son to her chest as he cried. "I can't believe her…"

"I know, honey. I know…" Ali whispered.

"This is your fucking fault." Jason whispered to Damian. "If I where you, I'd kill myself. Maybe then all the hell in this house will go away."

It was the first time in a long time that Damian felt like crying…
