Chapter 4: damian pov
Title: chasing after robins
(Part of dreaming of u's universe)
An: last chapter follows after this.
Damian wayne was hopping up and down in apolyptic rage when he open up his bag filled with clothes and find his intimidating clothes replace with animal theme onesies.
"Grayson!" He roared as he was so mad he bang his head repeatedly on the console of the bat submarine
A few days later...
Damian stood up from swimming thru the ocean and grin proudly as he took the first step into themyscira.
"Oh yeah oh yeah." He dance and strut and jump on the shore while still wearing the penguin theme wet suit of his scuba gear.
The group of female warrior who were hiding in a scrub exchange glances. "He is a cute penguin."
Damian was so euphoric he was grinning when he caught sight of the approaching women. "tt." He slide two escrima stick from the long sleeve of his penguin wings and challenge in a clear sweet voice. "I challenge the queen of this island for leadership."
"And that's why you cant be a queen on this island little robin" queen hippolyta said solemnly to the 8 year old kid who she somehow manipulate into sitting on her lap.
"He is cute!" She thought happily trying to reign in the smile before it could show up on her face.
The warriors who have captured the lil brat with a net earlier have dress the guy with hippolyta's fave animal (a Lion)theme costume. And now they are giving their queen jealous look for being able to held the boy without being slap or punch at by the kid.
Hippolyta seeing how close the boy was to crying if that wobbling of the lips is any indication, hastily added, " but i could make you a prince!"
Damian thought it over. He was already a prince of the league of the assasin, he is the son of batman...what harm could one more title do. " okey. Tt" He said unimpress.
Hippolyta clapped her hands in delight. "What a honest child."she thought "Come child." She coaxed, "i would like you to met your older sister"
Several broken bones later, damian emerge a victor in the playground when a group of kids gang up on him. "Oh hera! That kid is viscious!" Diana exclaimed in awe.
"I know right?" Artemis was elbowing her friend laughter in every thread of her voice.
##
Damian pretended to be bored the next day as he watch the ladies perform their group exercise in the yard.
Diana caught him but pretended not to. "Hey i need a sparring partner will you help me?"
##
On the third day, Damian lost his shit and burn all the clothes dick had stuff on his bag. Upset, the queen seek her seamstress and the royalty almost have an instant party as they tried fabric, armour, and jewelries to fit the prince. They giggle as they pass damian's drawing of what he wants to look like all around. They made sketches and have damian change clothes. Damian tolerate it with a scowl.
##
It was pretty much the entire inhabitant of the island was there as they watch a jet landed on their shore. It had been 9 days since robin have worm his way into their hearts and they think the newcomer must be related to the kid. Whether its good or not, they decided to be the judge.
Hippolyta, diana and damian was at the very front and all three look outstanding in their simple yet elegant attire surrounded by a battalion of helmeted, metal covered, spear wielding warrior-res.
The alien craft's door open with a hiss, and out from the darkness, a man in a dark grey suit with a cowl and a cape jump down and slowly approach them.
"That's batman." Diana stated with some misgiving considering that on her 5 months stay in the man's world, it was only on her 4th month that she had a fleeting interaction with batman. His intrusion on the justice league secured communication was both a lifesaver and upsetting, he give them sound tactical advise as they battle a group of meta criminals which lead them to a quicker victory and less damage however, batman told them also to stay away from gotham when the fight was close to the city's boundary.
This is going to be wonder woman's first encounter with the bat and as first impression goes, well, color her horny and scared. (Just ignore this paragraph please. It was written in a moment of weakness)
"Good evening your majesty." Batman low rasp did not indicate any hint of being nervous in having women with pms symptoms spearing him with their eyes and weapons (get it? Coz im goffik). His eyes flick over diana and his little boy. "I-"
Damian move. One moment he have both arms across his chest and then the next moment he was fly kicking the dark knight. "- that is for making me wait two weeks, FAther!"
Diana's jaw dropped.
The next day...
"What are you doing?" Hippolyta and diana wonder when after damian polish his breakfast he was carefully placing fruits, cheese and bread on a tray.
Damian look adorable with a frown of concentration between his eyebrow and his tongue sticking out.
He look up to them. " i am giving this to father. He will eat it as soon as he wakes up. In his behalf i would extend once again my regret that he wasn't able to have breakfast with us." He grab the tray with both hand after being satisfied with the arrangement. "But," He glare at them "I AM never sorry for not waking him up. He needs rest."
Hippolyta and Diana stare at each other as DAmian left.
Lunch time...
Diana was fussing over damian's meal before she was alerted by damian's shout of "father" to the presence of their new quest.
Batman affectionately squeeze damian's shoulder when the boy leap from his chair and run towards him
"Batman" diana stammer out and blush furiosly when she realize how stupid it was. "Of course its batman, are you expecting another male in the island?"But you cant blame her, batman just look that good.
"In the flesh" as a comeback, batman's reply is the dorkiest of the dorkiest. A blush also appear on his cheeks.
Fortunately, damian take one look of the casual wear his father was sporting and snort unimpress. "You look ridiculous Father." He eyed the grey tshirt that showcase his dad muscle form without looking crass and the generic blue jeans and sneakers. He look at a different cowl that cover batman's eyes,nose and hair which doesn't have the pointy ear.
Batman laugh broke the awkwardness and he motion for damian to seat down as he seat as well.
He look at diana and said "hello princess."
"The queen can't make it. She still havent finish her meeting that starts at 10." Diana reported after a brief tilt of her head at the batman's greeting.
"Okey."
Diana watch captivated at batman. Batman have this very small smile on his lips as he eat and listen at the same time at damian's report of his activities that morning. She watch on how he easily demolish the food while being comfortable and refined juggling the assorted spoons and knife and fork. She watch as batman help damian with the lobster and glare at the kid when said kid was about to play with the lobster's claw. Batman have nice clean hands.
"Youre drooling princess"
"I am not." Diana denied her voice calm and serene however as she stab her food with a knife she broke the plate which proves her irritation for being caught staring.
She later excuse herself for her royal task when she heard about damian's plan for his dad that afternoon.
The next day...
Diana ended up following the trail that leads to her favorite moping spot after
She had gone horseback riding. She stop when she spied the dynamic duo doing some synchronize exercise.
"Hi. What are you guys doin in here?" She asked wondering if she should leave them or stay and watch or...
Batman stop what he is doing but he signal damian to continue. He seat on the log and motion for diana to join him.
Damian was dress as simple as batman not the expensive metal warrior princely regal attire that he was now wearing all the time in the island two weeks prior.
"I didnt know you know (insert whatever the chinese do in the morning you know the one that looks bad ass as they do kung fu exercise in a yard with lots of people. I forgot the name)" diana remark impress.
Batman give her a look. Diana hastily slide away from batman's lap. He took a sip of water, corrected damian's posture before he shot back. "I didnt know that you know ****?"
Diana in defense explain that flash had dump his entire fave martial arts movies in her lap one day at the tower.
"Ah."
###
She unintentionally eavesdrop at batman's conversation when she heard a low chuckle that afternoon and she got curious what made batman laugh.
"Yeah old chum. I am having way too much fun here...yeah.." Batman's voice was light and carefree and daft which annoyed diana to no end as she continue to listen.
Batman sigh as he absentmindedly trace the mosaic of the window on a nook that he hide into when he decided to call lucius fox before he will be reported as missing. " im sorry." He pouted, sounding not sorry at all. " ..just take care of business will yah? ...i decided to stay for a few more days...man, you should see the women here..." Batman's voice drawl sexily. "Should i tell ya this one..."batman's voice slowly trail off as diana left him to his phone call.
"He is sooo fake." Diana thought followed by. "What was that all about?"
###
"Excuse me princess, son." Batman pluck an apple from damian's hand as he run towards them on the hallway on the 2nd floor.
Damian was sputtering indignantly but his dad already jump from the balcony towards the ground With recklessness and fearlessness and have disappear in the corner as soon as he landed.
"Did you see the male scum princess?" A group of women asked not a moment too soon clearly hot on batman's tail.
Both damian and diana who was leaning on the balcony rail shrugged. " that way." Diana pointed on the ground.
"Damn" artemis thought irritated. She turn to go but on impulse she hurriedly bent and hug damian cooing. "Hello prince robin."
Damian huff irritated. "Why did father agree with this nonsense?" He complain at diana once the mob was gone.
"Its tradition." Diana shot back as they continue their way towards the garden. " Beside i think secretly Batman like women chasing after him." She joke.
Damian snorted. He remember how dad hates being chase by women at parties. "So basically between two pm to 7 everyday he must try to avoid the women?"
"Wellll," diana open the little gate that leads to the rose garden. "The women dont mind if he fights back assuming that he won over his man's world of thinking that women needs protecting"
Damian thought about poison ivy, harley quinn, batgirl. "Clearly you don't know my Father."
###
"Oopps. Sorry." Diana blurted out that evening When she intruded clearly a father-son tradition. She just waltz into damian's room and Caught batman in his full batman regalia sitting on a chair beside damian's bed with an old leather book in hand.
Damian wiggle upward to seat and pat the bed. "Its okay we don't mind."
The bat still haven't recovered from gaping at diana's pajamas. She was wearing a flash theme pajamas. What the...
"Lemme guess flash give that to you?"
Diana give him an unimpress look. " i look great in red." She crawl and seat beside damian before she study the book at batman's hand and... "I didnt know you know ancient greek."
Damian turn to diana and answer for batman. "I don't like those children's bedtime story i think they're dumb. Father won't share his adventure defending the city. That is our compromise."
Diana spotted the bookshelf behind batman and her heart sank because those books are boring.
"Why are you here?" Batman growl.
"Dont be rude father." Damian scolded. "Aun diana always tuck me in to bed when you weren't here.
"And now its your turn to tuck us in bed." Diana joked.
Batman harrumphed as he reopen the ancient book and continue to drone on about pottery for BOTH children.
In a loud whisper, diana asked damian. "Does he know how to do voices?"
Damian laugh. "He is horrible in doing voices aunt."
Batman ignore their giggling.
Damian quickly sank into dreamland considering how batman made his voice as boring and as monotonous as possible.
"Night son." Batman murmur placing a kiss at damian's forehead.
He look at diana, a hint of a smirk in his lips while his voice rasp. "Would you like me to kiss you too princess?"
"Eeep."
####
For a guy who was paranoid about his identity diana didn't expect at all for batman's door to be unlocked. So she was surprised to actually caught batman unaware.
"Omg. His hair is black." She observe shock. " of course its black, robin's hair is black." Her thought process was fried.
"Son be a dear and give me a massage." Batman moan without moving at all from the bed. He was lying on his stomach with both hands stretch above his head, hanging by the end of the bed's rail.
Diana who was about to leave because she was looking for damian initially change her mind when a wicked idea came to her.
She move closer to the bed and gasp when she notice the speck of blood that soak thru the bandages that cover the batman's hand from knuckles to the elbow.
Batman freeze when he heard the gasp, he would have bolted except diana with her inhuman strength pin him on the bed. "Easy little bat." Diana hushed the guy with a small amount of amusement. My god, like pinning/mounting a butterfly/bat on a piece of wood. "I dont want to see your ugly mug in the morning. Why don't you relax and allow aunt diana to give you a massage?"
Batman force his body to relax. He was conscious all of a sudden about the scars adorning his back when diana gave another gasp.
"What are these?" Diana lightly trace one huge scar that cross batman's back.
Batman squeeze his eyes shut. " that was from a ninja." He answer tonelessly.
"And why this?" Diana lift bruce hand.
"He punches wall with those as practice." Damian's voice pipe in from the doorway. Diana motion him to come closer.
"Where have you been robin? I was looking for you earlier " diana told the kid.
"Playing." Damian answer. "Wanna know how dad have these scars?" He offer.
"Hello im right here" batman cut in annoyed.
Both ignore him as they talk about scars.
Batman was getting restless. "Woman i need that massage like 10 minutes ago."
In irritation, diana pinch a nerve that cause batman to yelp. "Men" diana grumbled.
Damian settle beside diana and impress her when he classify all the muscle group.
###
Diana discover that as the day goes into the night, the batman that talks practically little in the morning was reduced to glares and growl by nightfall. It amuses her for some reason.
##
Diana didn't know how batman did it, she was laughing while damian look pissed when batman made his counter attack and all the women hunting him fled screaming when actual bats attack them in droves.
##
It didn't surprise anyone when diana decided to get back to man's world by joining both batman and robin in leaving the island when one week was up.
