THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS AND HELP. I HAVE BEEN FOCUSING ON MY avenger/YOUNG JUSTICE CROSSOVER.

Chapter 13

Damian was not a happy 8 year old assassin. He was to remain in the eyesight of Batman and Wally at all times. He was looking forward to be reunited with his mother and grandfather and may be just maybe he could convince Mehira to come with him back to the Shadows where she belonged. But Grandfather had told him that Mehira was a hero no matter what anyone would try to do to convince her to join the Shadows.

"Where are we going?" Damian asked as he followed his father and cousin to the Zeta Tubes.

"We are heading to the BatCave where I expect you to NOT touch anything." Batman replied as he looked at both Wally and Damian. The Dark Knight trusted Wally and maybe he was going to trust his son as Damian was an Al Ghul and they did have a sense of honor when it came to certain things and they were loyal to those that they consider family but the BatCave did hold many things that could blow up in two kid's faces.. All in all Damian was very much like a bat.

Wally just gave Batman one of her signature smiles as she punched in the destination to the BatCave.

The computer announced the two members of the Bat family and the almost Bat. The two heroes and mini assassin step through the circle that made up the Zeta Tubes and were transported to the BatCave.

Alfred was waiting in the Bat Cave with three cups of tea. Master Bruce had informed the kindly butler about Damian and Alfred wasn't all that surprised that the man he had raised since he was 8 years old had a son with Talia Al Ghul. After all Talia was really the one that Master Bruce spent more time with her than any of the other woman.

The Zeta Tube announced the arrival of Batman, Kid Flash and Damian. Alfred was shocked at how much Damian looked like his father. It was like going back in time to when Bruce was 8 years old.

"This young man must be Master Damian. My name is Alfred and I hope that your stay with us is enjoyable." Alfred told Damian as he handed the child assassin a cup of tea.

Damian looked at the 50ish old man and in his mind liked him already. His mother had told him that his father had been raised by the family butler since his father was 8. His mother had always spoken so highly of Alfred which was rare for his mother to do something like that.

"Nice to meet you. Mother has spoken about you several times and each time she praised you for your work and putting up with Father's antics." Damian replied as he stuck out his hand to shake Alfred's hand.

"That last part is very much true Master Damian." Alfred said with a smile as Batman just slightly glared at this son.

Wally was busting a gut at what Damian and BatButler had just said. Alfred was known for being poise and professional but what many people didn't know was that Alfred had a sense of humor at times especially when it came to kids.

"Well now that we know that you like Alfred perhaps you two could get to know each other more since you will be staying in the mansion for some time. Wally and I need to discuss some League matters." Batman told his son as he came out of the small changing room dressed in a pair of jeans and button down shirt. "Robin will be returning in a few moments. Please try not to fight with him." Bruce directed the last part to Damian who was looking like an angel.

Wally rolled her eyes at the thought of Damian being nice which could really happen as Damian did have a nice side to him at times. The speedster knew that Robin was going to have a hard time dealing with the idea that he would have to share her with his little brother but Wally was going to make sure that The Boy Wonder would always know that she would always be there for him. The two of them had been through a lot since they had first become heroes and would always be friends no matter what.

Wally followed Bruce up the stairs and into the Manor where she had a feeling that they weren't going to talk about anything as it was just a ruse to get Alfred and Damian a chance to get to know each other.

"So what would like to know about your father Young Damian?" Alfred asked knowing that was what the mini assassin wanted to know based on the look on the his face.

"Mother told me a little bit about Father but never the reason he became Batman."

"So you want to know the reason why he choose to become a defender of justice?"

"Yes."

Alfred looked at the Bruce Wayne look alike with a smile. He could see so much of Bruce when he was the same age as Damian.

"That is one question that you have to ask Master Bruce himself for I may have raised him since he was your age but his reasons are entirely his own. All I can say is that Master Bruce wanted children not to experience anything like he had experienced as a child growing up with out parents." Alfred explained to Damian.

"So that was one of the reasons why he took in Grayson because he remind father of himself?" Damian asked remembering the story of the Flying Grayson's deaths. He never understood why his mother had made him read about something like that but now he knew how his somewhat older brother came to be in the custody of Bruce Wayne.

"Yes. Master Dick had no one to go to and Master Bruce had no intentions of letting the boy go to foster care when many people did not care for circus people. Master Dick would have been lost in the systems and not be the young man that he is today." Alfred explained.

Damian understood somewhat why his father had taken in a circus child. Grayson was loyal to his team and would always be loyal to them.

"Now Master Damian, perhaps I should show you to your room where you can get some sleep. I will wake you when dinner is ready." Alfred told Damian who nodded his head.

It had been a long day and Damian was sure that Mehira was also tired as well and was probably already asleep.

"If you would follow me." Alfred said as he headed up the stairs to the Manor followed by Damian.
