"Movie night!" Dick yelled, dragging Bruce and Tim to the entertainment room and quickly searched for his movie choice. "Which one tonight? Rapunzel? Sleeping Beauty? Mulan?" Dick elaborated, looking at the disks in his hand.
"I suggest Pocahontas." Dick turned around, bewildered as Damian sat down beside Bruce. Damian often rejects Dick's invitation for movie night, knowing what he'll pick. Bruce and Tim both had the same shock as Dick's.
After a moment of staring at Damian, checking to see if he still was there, he smiled. He picked up the Pocahontas disk and sat down as the movie played.
It was seldom to have Damian willingly have family time with them, and he even picked a movie that was to Dick's liking.
He cherished the moment he had with his family. Too bad Jason declined his request. It would have made the night perfect.
"And then what happened?!" Maria asked, helping herself to another scoop of ice cream as she waited for Robin's continuation of Pocahontas's story.
Robin smiled, seeing the girl wait in agitation. Her eyes were so expressive and her reactions were delightful. "Pocahontas rushed to shield John Smith from the impact, exclaiming, "NO!"," Robin told, using hand gestures to dramatize the scene more.
Maria listened intently and almost cried when Pocahontas declared her love for John Smith.
Robin loved these nights when he gets to tell Maria stories of the past in a more censored version. It was at these times, he had thanked Dick for those agonizing hours wasted watching Disney Movies. Seeing Maria enjoy his storytelling made him smile.
He'll endure the cringiest and most childish movies, just to see little Maria smile.
"Mahbubi, slow down, you're going to have a brain freeze."
