The Dreaded Times for a Female
First Day of Death
There are a lot of things women face every day, every time, everywhere. They face discrimination, inequality, harassment, abuse and many more. But! There is one thing all women face that men cannot understand. A biological process that happens every month from 3-7 days. What is it that you ask? Menstruation.
The only thing Dixie could feel was pain. Excruciating pain that felt like someone was stabbing her repeatedly. She screams in pain, alerting the entire Gym class and its coach. She falls to the ground, clutching her abdomen, hyperventilating and scared. Her teacher order one student to call the nurse while he checks up on her. "Dixie, are you okay? Does your stomach hurt?" he asked Dixie questions and she answered with a nod or a shake. The pain got worse, and she was on the verge of passing out. She could see the black spots dancing around her vision. She started to panic, recalling the injuries she receives during last night's patrol. But she recalled just getting slapped in the face and her going haywire over the thug. She couldn't stay conscious for long due to the torturous feeling. Before she knew it, she was knocked out cold.
When Dixie woke up, she was surprised to find herself in her room. She sat up abruptly when she asked herself why she was here. She then regretted sitting up so fast as her abdomen throbbed in pain. She groaned when she felt the light throb. She clutched her abdomen and cried softly. It may be a slight throb but for a 12-year-old it felt so painful. She looked around the room trying to find something warm. Some kind of comfort to help her move around. She slowly got off her bed and creeped out her room. She tiptoed her way to Bruce's room across the hall. Peeking inside, checking if he was present in the giant room. When the coast was clear, she entered the room and stumbled her way to his wardrobe. Due to her small frame, she had trouble opening the cabinet. But she succeeded in opening it and stealing a giant hoodie. She closed the wardrobe door and wore the giant hoodie that drapes over her small frame like a blanket. Since she was around 4ft and 8in, the 2XL hoodie she stole covered her knees and the sleeves at least 2 in longer than her arms.
She laughed quietly and made her torturous journey downstairs. She held onto the banister, stepping down one by one. Carefully trying not to jostle the bundle of nerves that makes her want to die.
With the last step, she was about trudged her way to Batcave when she heard laughing in the living room. She tiptoed her way there, peaking in the corners for any intruders. Not that it would have any, but Robin training stuck to her like a parasite. Since there were good and bad things that came her way.
Once she made her way to the edge of the living room entrance and peeked inside. Her eyes widening and a gasp escaping her lip when she saw the occupants inside. There. Right. There. Inside. The Wayne! Manor! Living! Room! Are Catwoman, Selina Kyle, Poison Ivy, Pamela Isley, and the infamous Talia Al Ghul! All three of them in different couches and chairs while her Dad sits in his usual chair. Alfred was nowhere to be found, 'Probably in the kitchen.' Dixie thought.
The occupants inside the room snapped their focus at the small gasp they heard. They were prepared to fight the intruder, but they were not prepared to face the cutest sight ever. There in Bruce's large hoodie stood a pale-looking Dixie. Her long-disheveled hair framing her round face. Her big ocean blue eyes peering inside the living room. And my- OH my! The hoodies that drapes off her like a blanket takes the cuteness level to the heavens. When her eyes widened and a red hue making its way from her neck to her face made her even cuter, if possible. She just looked away, flustered and embarrassed. Bruce laughed, making Dixie jump, he made his way over to her by the doorway. He put his hands under her armpits, lifting her high and putting his hands under her legs as support. Dixie squeaked in surprise before squealing in delight when Bruce planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Dixie, meet Selina, Pamela, and Talia." He introduced them as to how they were seated from left to right. They gave their own unique responses and a small wave. "H-hi." She said, shyly waving back at the trio. The girls couldn't contain their squeals.
"Bruce! How is she not yours! I remember you being this cute in high school!" Selina gushed, squealing even harder when both Bruce and Dixie turned red.
"Bruce! If you adopt more cinnamon rolls like her, I'm going to get an aneurysm!" Pamela commented getting an embarrassing sound of denial from Bruce and Dixie covering her face with her hands.
"Beloved! Hand over her over!" Talia managed to grab Dixie when Bruce was distracted with the nickname. She threw her in the air a little and caught her. Dixie was surprised at the action and just laughed when Talia settled for embracing the life out of her. The other girls just joined in on the hug, squealing in delight.
A few minutes of squealing and hugging, they finally settled down when Alfred came back with a few pastries and tea. "Ah! Mistress Dixie, how lovely to see you well." Alfred said as he puts down the tray on the coffee table. "I hope you are up to eat your favorite pastry." Dixie's eyes sparkled in joy on Talia's lap, letting out a joyous cheer. Making the adults laugh and Bruce internally die at her cuteness.
They asked Dixie questions about school, love life, health, grades, everything a mother asks. Dixie managed to get a nibble of her blueberry cheesecake before she groans in pain again. This time, unbearable making her clutch her abdomen letting out a yell of pain. Talia managed to save the plate from falling on the expensive rug. (Doesn't really matter to Bruce) "What's wrong, sweetie?" Pamela asked as Dixie starts crying. She just sobs as her question worrying about the 3 women. They turn to Bruce who sighed worriedly, "What happened to her?"
"Is someone bullying her?"
"Did she get hurt during patrol?"
Bruce shook his head, "The nurse said she's going through puberty." Bruce covered his face with his hands, unable to look at the villains-turned-mothers who was staring at him. "Is this," Talia started, raising a brow. "Why you," Pamela continued, also raising a brow, "Called us here?" Selina purred out, raising her brow as well as the 3 just smirk and stare at Bruce. Bruce just groaned, "Yes." The ladies just glanced at each other. "And why exactly did you call us here?" Bruce just sighed defeated, looking away with a deadpan look. "Because I d..k…." He mumbled the last part, "What was that, Beloved?" Talia just kept smirking and giggled when Bruce groaned and threw his head back in embarrassment. It took a while before Bruce looked at them eye-to-eye with a pink tint on his cheeks. "I need you to help Dixie through this because I don't know." They just smiled knowingly and agreed without a second thought.
They stood up and went to the grandfather clock. "Expect Dixie to be back in around 7-8 days, we want to spend time with her and teach her the things needed." Bruce then opened the secret entrance and led them down. Listening to the trio who was explaining everything, and the things needed for Dixie's monthly. Chocolates, pads, tampons, hoodies, hot compress and many more. They then waved goodbye before disappearing from Bruce's sight. "May I ask as to why you asked them for help, Master Bruce?" Alfred asked quite intrigued. His pseudo son typing what they said on his phone and pondering on other things she might need. When Bruce finished, he just rubbed the back of his neck. "I have to admit Alfred, she already has a father and a grandfather right here." Alfred just smiled happily, "She needs a mother to help her." Bruce nodded following Alfred who was walking back to the Manor.
"But three of them?"
"They're the only ones who were free, besides at least she has many people to talk to."
With that Dixie spent 8 days in the Al Ghul hidden home. With 3 mothers who were teaching her the basics of going through menstruation. They also promised to teach her a lot of things she did not understand. She spent 3 days with cats, 3 days with friendly plants and 3 days with the Great Ra Al Ghul who was wrapped around her little finger. She returned to Bruce who told her to tell him if those 'days' would come. And with that, she returned to school after 9 days of missed classes but all in all, she was better.
