Daughter Of Batman Chapter 5
On the way to the twins new shared living accommodations Alfred gives the siblings a guided tour of Wayne Manors interior. It's late at night so he can't provide a sufficient excavation to the full extent.
Pushing open the doors that lead into their new chambers, Alfred said "I hope this isn't too cramped for you."
The bedroom is incredibly spacious with a king sized bed, television, wardrobe, desk, armchair, and bay window.
Danika and Damian step inside having a look around.
Gesturing at different points in the room, Alfred said "That door leads to your bath. The other to a game room. Mistress Danika there is another bedroom connected to the game room in question. That is yours and it has all the same commodities this one contains." Alfred then picks up the remote turning on the television set. "And you also have this for your amusement."
Danika smiles subtly at the Looney Tunes cartoon playing on the screen. Neither of them had watched a lot of television growing up, but Danika in particular secretly snuck some whenever she could whenever it might've become available. Damian knew about it. Even though he never really joined her when it wasn't permitted he didn't rat her out, not once.
"Naturally you have the run of the mansion," finished Alfred, not unkindly.
Snobbishly, not shy in treating Alfred as a servant instead of family as Bruce informed them, Damian said "Of course, I know that. Prepare some tea, Pennyworth. Brown sugar instead of white, fresh cut lemon, a china cup."
Damian then goes over to have a seat in the armchair while Alfred sniffs a smidge disdainfully at Damian's rude attitude.
Scowling, a light cutting edge to his tone, Alfred said "Perhaps Master would like some warm, mixed nuts and a moist hand towel."
"Watch yourself, Pennyworth. I'm not so young that I don't understand sarcasm," warned Damian, aiming a dirty look.
"If you weren't so rude and bossy then maybe he wouldn't have to," said Danika, stoutly, lightly admonishing him.
Damian huffs averting his gaze to now stare out the window.
"Not to worry, Mistress Danika. I am much too old to care," reassured Alfred, switching off the TV.
Danika covers a giggle.
A small smile tugging at his lips in amusement towards Danka, Alfred said "I'll go prepare the tea."
Alfred then leaves and after a moments hesitation Danika follows.
Bemused, Alfred said "Is there something else you require?"
Shaking her head, Danika said "No, thank you. I was wondering if I can help. I made tea a lot for Mother, Grandfather, and Uncle back home."
Scoffing, Damian said "You shouldn't have to dirty your hands, Sister. That's servants work."
Chastising, disagreeing with that, Danika said "It doesn't hurt to make yourself useful, Brother. Besides I like doing it."
Arms crossed, Damian said "Can't imagine why."
And there is one of the big differences between brother and sister.
Danika then walks out with Alfred leaving Damian behind to stew.
As the two of them are making tea biscuits in the kitchen Alfred softens towards Danika finding her much more respectful than her brother and that he enjoys her company. After everything is done Danika carries the tea for both Damian and her to their quarters. Alfred does the same for Bruce down in the Batcave.
Here the Dark Knight is scanning through all the files and videos footage recorded on Ra's al Ghul that's stored in his central computer.
Announcing his presence as he approaches, Alfred said "I've been released by Master Damian and Mistress Danika. I miss the boy already. I must say, Master Bruce, that the girls disposition is quite more agreeable than her brothers by far."
"I take it you've noticed that, too," said Bruce.
"Hard not to," said Alfred, dryly.
"How are they," inquired Bruce.
Pouring the tea, Alfred reports "Facing the shock of downsizing, sir. Although Danika appears to be cooping much better. In fact she actually helped me in brewing this tea. Not a bad mixture either."
Bruce takes a sip from his teacup, testing it.
Humming underneath his breath, Bruce admitted "Not bad."
The two of them then focus their undivided attention on the video of Ra's on screen being revived in a Lazarus Pit of all places.
"Nothing on cable," asked Alfred.
"An old video of Ra's being revived by the Lazarus Pitt. He's cheated death so many times it's hard to accept that he failed to escape this time. My children's role model," said Bruce, stonily.
Bruce is gonna have to work exceptionally hard to change that.

Since it was just recently uploaded I really would enjoy hearing other peoples thoughts on the subject matter so far. So feel free to do so if you have the time.
I have other grand news! I was a patron at New York Comic Con! Ah! I'd been dying to go for years and now I had the opportunity. The Jokers from Impractical Jokers have been here along with Tom Hiddleston and so many others. Over those few days I actually got my picture taken with a couple of other actors/actresses and some really great panels. It really is so exciting there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime so there's no way in hell that I was going to waste a single second of it. No one ever should with something like this. Ever! ;D
For future preferences I highly recommend that you all keep an eye out for when tickets for New York Comic Con are available for purchase again for next year. This is a huge event and you should jump on it whenever you have the chance.
