Hey I'm back. Alright, so before everyone starts, I know that I've skipped a few scenes from the movie. I just felt that they were unnecessary to my version of the story. I've decided that this story is going to be mainly about Damian settling in and Dick trying to make him his brother. The doctor will come in later only because he provides the cure. I'm not going to add the scene where he and his family get captured because I want to keep this just on Batman and the boys' point of view. If you want to see the scene just look it up online.
Thanks.
"I see you had a nice talk with Damian." Bruce said when Dick came in.
"Yeah, he said he'll teach me about fighting so I'll be ready when I go with you." Dick said as he sat down to eat his breakfast.
'We'll see about that' Bruce thought to himself.
"He did? That'll be a good bonding experience." He said.
"Maybe." Dick said. "I don't think he likes me very much."
"Just give him time. Anyway do you still want to come to work with me?" Once in a while Bruce would take Dick to work so the workers could get to know him and Dick could learn all about Wayne Enterprises.
"Yeah! What about Damian?"
"I'm going to hold off on him for a while. Just until he get settled in." Bruce then looked at his watch. "Finish up Dick or we'll be late."
"Alright." Dick said and finished his slice of toast and went to get his shoes on. "Bye Alfred."
"Goodbye sir. Don't forget your lunch." Alfred said handing him his Batman lunchbox.
"Thank you. Bye."
Break*Break*Break
"Hi Miss Sarah!" Dick said when they got to the office.
"Hi Dickie. So you're spending the day with Mr. Wayne are you?" She asked and Dick nodded excitedly. "Oh and Mr. Wayne? Mr. Watt requested a meeting with you."
"Does it have to be today?"
"He said there's no way to reschedule."
"Alright, Dick can you wait in my office until I get done? Your coloring books are there."
"Okay Bruce." Dick said a little disappointed that Bruce wouldn't be with him.
"This won't take long. You need anything just let Miss Sarah know."
"Alright." Dick said and Bruce left for the meeting.
2 hours later:
That meeting was way longer then Bruce wanted it. He would rather be spending time with Dick. After the meeting was over he was bombarded by his staff.
"When can we talk about the Carlin account?" A worker asked.
"Soon."
"This afternoon is free for all of us..." A lady said.
"Here Mr. Wayne." Another man said.
"Not that soon."
"I heard Lex Corp is ready to pounce if we don't…" The worker said.
"Where did you hear that?" The lady asked.
"On the streets." While his workers argued, Bruce got a text message.
Alfred: He's gone sir.
Bruce gave a silent sigh and went towards his office and opened the door.
"What the hell?" The man said getting a glare by Bruce. Damian was in Bruce's chair and Dick was sitting on his desk kicking his legs back and forth.
"Your profit margin is down in Argentina. Someone is skimming revenue" Damian said turning the monitor around.
"Argentina? That's my division. Bruce what is this?" The lady asked.
"It's alright. I'll handle this." Bruce said shutting the door in their faces.
"Damian what are you doing?"
"Reviewing my birthright; this will be mine someday."
"Hey what about me?!" Dick asked.
"Family members only. You're not family."
"I am too!" Dick said.
"Damian enough. Dick is family."
"Whatever."
"How did you get in here?" Bruce asked turning the monitor the right way.
"A bird's nest has better security." Damian said getting up. "We need to talk;" He then looked at Dick. "Privately."
"What's this about?"
"It's about Deathstroke."
"Dick can stay for this."
"Fine, Deathstroke has a contact stationed here. We find him, we find Deathstroke. Then we take him out; permanently."
"We don't kill." Bruce said.
"I was taught you destroy your enemies."
"That makes you like them."
"It makes me better than them. Deathstroke killed my grandfather! He has to pay!"
"Ra's was a mad man."
"He was a hero! He died a hero!" Damian said and pulled out a square flash drive. "Ubo's Deathstroke's right hand man. He stays in Gotham between missions to indulge his…vises, according to mother."
"This is classified ma…you downloaded this from the computer in the Batcave didn't you?"Bruce said putting his hands on his hips.
"I hacked into NORAD when I was six. It was easy." Bruce then gave a glare.
Break*Break*Break
An hour later, Alfred came to pick up Damian. Bruce opened the door and Damian got in.
"Alfred is to take you directly home; no stops. You will not go off on your own for any reason, you will stay away from the Batcave computer, and you will stay out of sight. Do you understand?!" Bruce said harshly.
"I owe my grandfather a death." Damian said and slammed the door shut. Then Alfred drove away.
6 Hours later:
"Ready to go Dick?"
"Almost." Dick said and ripped a piece of paper out of his coloring book. "I drew a picture for Damian." He said showing a picture of Batman, Robin, and a hand-drawn shorter version of Robin. "I'm ready!" Dick said excitedly and took Bruce's hand.
"See you next time Dick." Sarah said.
"Bye bye." Dick said waving goodbye. Bruce and Dick walked to Bruce's car where Bruce buckled him and drove back to Wayne Manor.
"Damian!" Dick called when they got home.
"What?" Damian said from the living room sharpening his sword.
"I drew this for you." Dick said handing Damian the picture.
"Thanks." Damian said and tossed the picture on the couch without even looking at it.
"Well, do you think you can show me some moves?"
"Maybe later; I'm going to train." Damian said and got up.
"Let me train with you. We can work together…"
"No, this is far to advance for you." Damian said and left. Dick then follows him and watched Damian train outside watching his moves carefully.
Break*Break*Break
"Dick? I have to go out and interrogate Killer Croc."
"Didn't you catch him before we left?"
"Yes but I have to ask him a few questions."
"Alright, don't forget to tuck me in."
"I won't." Dick said and went to change into Batman. Dick went back to watching Damian when he realized he wasn't there.
"Damian?" He called. Dick then ran up to Damian's room knocking on the door. "Damian? It's me." No answer. Dick then went in without warning and realized that his clothes that he had been wearing earlier were on the floor and his bag was sitting empty on the bed. Dick gave a gasp and was scared. 'Oh no. He's going after Ubo. What if he gets hurt? What if he…no, I won't let that happen.
Break*Break*Break
"Come on girls. Bar's over here." Ubo said surrounded by girls. "Make yourself at home." The girls smiled and started looking around.
"I like it here." A girl said. "But we really should close this window." She said. Ubo then heard something and got his gun out.
"Here…" Ubo then put his index finger up to his mouth telling her to be quiet. He then started looking around the room. He ended up kicking down the closet door and looked around again. Finding nothing, he went towards the other closet and aimed the gun.
"I'll give you to the count of three. One…" He then started firing. Suddenly Damian jumped in from the roof making Ubo try shooting him. He then started punching Ubo with no challenge. Ubo then threw a lamp at Damian who sliced it up with his sword.
"Get out of here!" Damian told the girls and they ran. Turning back to Ubo, he realized that he had gotten gloves with long blades on it and dived at Damian. Damian was not scared and began fighting with him.
"Where is Deathstroke?!"
"Did you think it would be easy? Just asking for it?"
"I don't want it to be easy." Damian said dropping his sword and kicking him out of the room. Ubo then started running until he came to the highway. Then without looking ran out in the busy streets with cars stopping suddenly. Damian who was right behind him jumped on the top of cars to get to him. When he finally did, Damian jumped on his face making him fall to the ground with his face covered with blood.
"You'll get nothing from me." He said weekly.
"Either I get answers or you get the sword." Damian said raising the sword.
"Do your worst." Ubo said. Damian then gave a shout and was just about to scream when he was kicked away from Ubo losing grip on his sword. The sword flew until it was caught by a colorful figure. He had on a red shirt with the letter R on his chest, green gloves and tights, a black cape, and a black mask covering his eyes. (I'm describing Robin's costume from The Batman) Damian then looked up to see his attacker. Damian then gave an angry howl.
"YOU RUIN EVERYTHING!" He shouted.
"Don't kill!" He said. Damian then ran for him and pushed him making him fall. Damian then grabbed his sword and aimed it at the little figure.
"This ends right now!" Damian said and launched at him. Dick quickly moved out of the way missing the sword.
"I don't wanna hurt you."
"You don't have a choice." Damian said running at him again. Dick ducked and pushed Damian to the ground. Then the two boys began to wrestle with each other giving them multiple cuts and bruises until Damian managed to slice Dick's arm.
"OW!" He screamed holding his arm, getting up, and walking backwards. Damian then ran for him again only this time Dick grabbed onto a lap post and kicked him all the way towards the next one. Damian hit the lap post so hard that a 'ding' was heard and he fell to the ground. Dick then let go of the post and handcuffed Damian's hands to the pole, and his feet together.
"Uncuff me this instant!"
"No. This is for your own good." Dick said and got out a piece of cloth and put it around his mouth.
Break*Break*Break
Batman was on his way home when he had gotten a call.
"Talk."
"Batman?" A little voice said.
"Di…?"
"It's Robin." The little voice said interrupting him.
"Robin? What are you doing?"
"I…I need help. Damian got out of the house and…"
"Where are you?"
"Right by Gotham Park."
"I'll be right there." Batman said and hung up. Five minutes later the bat-mobile pulled up.
"Robin! Are you alright?!" Batman then looked at the now unconscious Ubo and the tied up Damian.
"Mph! Mph!" Damian grunted. Batman then went over and released him.
"Get in the car. We'll discuss this later." Batman told the boys. Dick got into the backseat of the car while Damian got in the front seat. After alerting the GCPD, Batman drove back to the Batcave.
"Thank heavens you're here Master Bruce! Master Dick and Master Damian are missing!"
"They're right here." Batman said.
"Great heavens! What happened sirs?!"
"Exactly what I want to know. Well boys?"
"It was all his fault!" Damian shouted pointing at Dick.
"We're not supposed to kill!"
"If you get in my way again I'll personally kill you!"
"Master Damian! That's no way to talk to your brother." Alfred said.
"HE'S NOT MY BROTHER!" Damian shouted and walked away.
"That's another thing he takes from you; your temper. Come now sir, we must get you healed quickly." Alfred said. Dick got out of the car and took Alfred's hand who took him to the medical wing. He then sat Dick on the bed and got out the medical equipment. "How on earth did you get this big gash on your arm sir?"
"Damian hurt me."
"My word, I'm afraid I will have to stitch that up."
"No! It'll hurt!" Dick said starting to cry.
"Please sir; it's the only way to heal it." Dick still shook his head.
"I'll hold your hand if you want." Batman said coming over now turning into Bruce Wayne. "I'll be right here the whole time." Dick thought about it.
"Well…okay; As long as you don't leave."
"Of course not." Bruce said setting him on his lap.
"Are you ready sir?" Alfred asked holding up a needle.
"Wait!" Dick shouted. "Can…can I hold Peanut?"
"Of course. I'll go get him." Bruce said. Two minutes later Bruce came back down with Peanut and gave it to Dick.
"Ready?" Bruce asked setting Dick in his lap again. Dick nodded and squeezed his eyes tight. After his anesthetic shot, Alfred began stitching Dick up.
"Hang on Dick. You're doing great." Bruce said. Suddenly Dick gave a gasp in pain.
"Are you alright sir?" Alfred asked stopping. Dick nodded and held on to Peanut and Bruce's hand tighter.
"All done sir!" Alfred said.
"You were a very brave boy Dick." Bruce said setting him down.
"Thank you." Dick said. Damian watched the entire scene and gave a jealous look at Dick who was getting all of his Father's attention.
"Dick? Why don't you go upstairs and get ready for bed. I'll be up to tuck you in in a few minutes." Bruce said.
"Okay." Dick said. Bruce now turned back into Batman went over to the Bat-computer and called Commissioner Gordon.
"Hello?"
"How's Ubo?"
"Got more monitors hooked up to him then Arkham has criminals."
"Can he talk?"
"Talk? It's a miracle he can breathe."
"I'll stay in touch." Batman said and hung up.
"He doesn't deserve to breath." Damian said from behind him. Batman then got up and threw his chair across the room. Dick then ran over to see what had happened.
"Do you know what you were tonight?! You weren't a warrior, you weren't a soldier, you were a child!"
"If it hadn't been for him I…" Damian said pointing at Dick.
"If it hadn't been for Dick you would have gone too far!"
"It's easier my way!"
"It has nothing to do with easy. It's about doing what's right because it's right and that's the only reason you need."
"Seemed easy to me."
"That's the problem. It was easy to hurt your own brother?!"
"FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME! HE'S. NOT. MY. BROTHER! He wouldn't have gotten hurt if he'd stayed out of my way."
"He was trying to stop you from becoming a criminal. Dick's parents and mine are dead because of criminals. The last thing Gotham needs is another criminal." Batman said and walked over towards the Bat-mobile. "Heads up." Batman said throwing a blade at Damian who caught it with one hand.
"That was awesome!" Dick said.
"What if I'd missed?" He said ignoring Dick.
"It would have hurt." Batman said.
"It's a League of Assassins star."
"Found it in a warehouse belonging to a man named Langstrum. Ring a bell?"
"No."
"It appears there is a connection with Ra's and Deathstroke."
"Then we need to find out what."
"I need to find out."
"I wanna help." Damian said.
"Me too!"
"Dick you're too young." Batman said.
"Yeah pipsqueak." Damian said getting a glare from Dick.
"It's bad enough you've given yourself away and let them know we're on to them, but you're letting vengeance guide your actions."
"You've never felt vengeful?"
"Every day. You have to keep your center Damian. You can't fight crime by becoming a criminal. From now on stay close; that's an order."
"I can do that."
"What can I do?" Dick asked.
"You can stay here with Alfred and help if we need you to check on something. In the meantime I can better train you."
"Why do I suddenly get the feeling that I'm not going to like this idea?" Alfred asked.
Now it's starting to get good. Post some reviews and I'll update again.
