Damian could be seen taking a nap with a book hiding his face as Brendan walked up at sat across from him kicking Damian's chair out from under him saying "wake up." while opening his book as Damian overcompensated hitting the table head first with a grunt of pain.
" So Damian what is so important that you had to escape from ruby to talk to me about?" Brendan asked in a hushed tone while looking over the edge of his book at damian who was rubbing his sore head as he responded back in a hushed tone as he picked up his book that fell " three things that are just between the two of us , one our team leader is arriving in the next couple of days,-" "good" "second we're finally getting our dorm room." "finally" " and third how good are you at distractions?" the last thing caught Brendan's attention making him put his book down " wait what?" " I said how good are you at being a distraction cause team RWBY is going to be in here any second and I need to not be glued to a seat like last time .
[Flashback]
" So Damian what is the story behind the origin of the white fang?" weiss asked looking down at a piece of paper hearing a loud snoring sound coming from Damian causing to sigh out of frustration before throwing several ice dust crystals at the feet of his chair willing them to explode freezing Damian into his chair waking him up " I'm up who took my stuff !" he blurted out while moving forward suddenly only to fall on his face as weiss continued asking questions.
[flashback end]
" I mean I can shut off the power temporarily in here. but why do you want me to distract them?" Brendan asked Damian with a hint of curiosity " its a secret but if for some reason they get out of here keep them away from their room until I give you a signal." Damian said before getting up from his seat " wait whats the signal?" Brendan asked " you'll know it when you see it." Damian responded before checking out his book and walking out of the library leaving Brendan to take care of distracting team RWBY and JNPR.
As I walked into the culinary arts room pulling out my old phone playing True friends by bring me the horizon before undoing my hooded scarf and tying it around my forehead so it lifted up my hair from my face as I rolled up from my sleeves taking off my gauntlet and finger less glove. " alrighty time to break out my old skills and see if I still got it." I mumbled to myself before I started singing along with the music " I Wouldn't hold my breath if I were you" I started to sing as I mixed together several batches of cookie dough memorizing the shapes i would have to craft them into for the specific people. Ruby's rose, Weiss's snowflake, yang's burning heart, blake's lilly, nora's hammer, jaune's waves, pyyrah's shield and javelin, ren's stormflower, ozpin's and glynda's symbols, and finally Rox's emblem " wait what is his emblem even? I've never seen it before." Damian mumbled before making some normal cookies before checking the time.
" Crap its already late!" Damian mumbled before picking up all of the containers of cookies which towered over him blocking his view as he went to team RWBY's room opening the door walking in " I wonder how much time do I have left before they get her-" Damian said out loud turning around closing his door with his foot looking to his left around the piles of boxes in his arms freezing as he looked at the bunks " eh hi guys... this must be the wrong room." Damian said as Brendan " so good news we aren't getting punished because I told glynda it was -." he said before looking next to him as Damian teleported as the boxes landed perfectly on the ground slowly everyone went forward and grabbed a box with their name on it. ruby let out a squeak of of excitement as everyone else gave a similar response." now i kinda feel bad for telling glynda." Brendan stated as ruby took notice to two other boxes one labeled with damian's name and the other was labeled with the name lil bro carefully picking them up turning to the others " I'm gonna go find him and apologize for everything we did wrong." she said before walking out the room.
Damian was sitting on his favorite area of the roof looking up at the stars " why did I panic back there? That was kinda out of the normal for me, is it because of this?" He questioned raising his right arm towards the sky before he pulled his hand back placing it on his chest sighing taking notice to a shooting star closing his eye then making a wish opening his eyes to see ruby right above his face staring at him "eh...ahhhhhh!" Damian and ruby yelled as they butted heads accidentally ruby crouched down a short distance behind clutching her head with one of Damian's boxes of cookies popped open as Damian rolled on his side clutching his head " ruby please never do that again, ever I promise I won't fall asleep during class just please you scared me half to death-" Damian said while trying to stand up noticing the boxes of cookies he made " did everyone get their boxes?" He asked ruby who looked at him " Damian I am sorry for bugging you and forcing you to go places with my team and-" ruby started to apologise. Damian waved her off trying to stop her " ruby you did nothing wrong really I had the best time of my life with you guys even if it was slightly forced upon me when I didn't want to interact with you guys after what we did." He said patting her head " really you don't feel annoyed by me?" Ruby ask as Damian sat down next to her " no you don't annoy me not in the least bit, hey you want to hear a story ?" Damian asked looking towards ruby then back up at the stars " that would be nice." She responded fully sitting down before following Damian's eyes towards the stars "well where should I start, I guess I'll start from my time at the orphanage."
[flashback] begins]
(For the sake of telling be whole story without spooling it for ruby about where he's from. In the flashbacks to earth he'll go by Damian instead of his birth name)
A kid most likely the age of five to six stumbled down the dark hall clutching his teddy bear rubbing his eye see a 14 year old Damian about to hop out one of the Windows " big bro are you leaving us again?" The kid said getting Damian's attention making him turn and crouch In Front of the boy " I'm sorry Tye I have to go deal with some things and I'll be right back to play with all of you tomorrow morning before the staff return so please just go back to sleep with your brothers and sister for now and I'll make everyone's favorite if you keep this a secret ok." Damian said before pushing Tye back towards his room leaving Damian who hopped out the window he open running through the forest outside stopping at a cliff as two people came out from a tree behind him " look the little lightning bolt got here on time for once." The girl on the left said before she got hit upside the head by the second person " amethyst be quiet Damian has things to take care of before meeting up with us." The second person stated as amethyst rubbed her head " deacon is right I had to deal with the kids at the orphanage before coming ." Damian said as deacon walked up to him patting Damian's shoulder "alright today we are stealing a cargo truck full of illegal items being moved into our area it's our jobs as the saints to destroy these illegal items before they reach their destination." Deacon said handing Damian a shock baton " Damian your leading on this job." Deacons stated as they all moved through the forest hitting the edge of a highway amethyst pulling out a pair of binoculars " there I see the target get ready to jump." She said to deacon and Damian who crouched on the edge of the overpass " now" amethyst yelled as deacon and Damian hopped off landing on the roof of the semi truck. " Damian secure the cargo I got the driver." Deacon said walking against the air flow towards the front of the truck before flipping and kicking the driver out the window taking his seat as Damian walked to the back of the truck kicking the door open as two goons looked up pointing guns at him before he flipped in kicking them back and into the cargo which started blinking "eh hey deacon you should get back here!" Damian yelled as deacon opened the door to the cargo area seeing the cargo blinking." Is that a bomb?" Damian asked pointing towards a large crate with a timer on it. " deacon get out of here I'll see what I can do to stop the bomb." Damian said pointing towards the back door of the semi " are you sure Damian?" Deacon asked pulling a pair of handcuffs out of his pocket as Damian set a hand on the rail attached to the crate getting handcuffed too it " what are you-" Damian asked looking at what deacon just did " sorry man someone's got to take the fall." Deacon said before jumping out the back of the semi leaving Damian attached to the bomb with 5 seconds left "so this is how I'm going to go huh guess I won't be able to treat the kids again." He mumbled as the bomb went off and everything went black.
[flashback end]
" wait how are you alive if that bomb went off." Ruby asked looking over to Damian " police found me half dead in the rubble I was in a coma for a while supposedly dead to everyone who knew me. I was also arrested for a short time because they thought I was involved in the bombing long story short deacon and amethyst left me for dead or deacon just lied to her." Damian said thinking back "thanks..." Ruby said suddenly "for what?" Damian responded "for telling me about your past." Ruby stated getting up patting her skirt " I'll try to get the others to help lighten the load from goodwitch on you goodnight Damian." She said waving while exiting the roof leaving behind a smiling damian who was looking up at the stars " that was heart warming" my Grimm self said in my head " oh shut up you just ruined the moment you realize that." Damian mumbled hearing his Grimm self snicker in his head.
