I ran down to the Batcave to find Alfred and Tim already waiting.
"Where is he? Why are you still here bird boy?" Alfred looked back at me disappointed.
"The real question is why you're down here miss?" Alfred asked with his arms crossed.
"Dude I found most of the secret passages when I was five. I can get out of every room in the Manor. Sorry but you'll have to try harder." I said sitting down at one of the swivel chairs near the computer.
"Bruce is on his way home, apparently with a guest." Really a guest? Who would he let into our precious batcave? Just minutes later the batmobile pulled into the batcave. Once he was out he help out a boy who had been blindfolded.
"You can open your eyes. We're here." He said pulling of the blindfold. "This is my cave."
"I think he's found a replacement for you Drake. I mean if a ten year old girl can beat you up clearly it's time to move on." I said sniping at Tim. He got ready to punch me when Alfred halted him.
We all watched confused as the boy began attacking Bruce. Tim decided to interfere.
"So my night's been pretty boring. Who's this." He said announcing his presence as he wandered over. I sighed, getting up to greet him. Tim held his hand out for a handshake and the boy just glared at him.
"Here we call this a handshake." I stopped as the boy practically growled in response. Great. We got a dog.
"Don't patronise me or I'll break your face." The kid answered back. Oh my god that was brilliant.
"I like this kid. He's great." i announced whilst I sat up on the railing.
"This is my son Damian. He'll be staying with us for a while." I literally beamed in delight as Bruce said that. Damian noticed but kept his sour face. Like father like son. Too bad.
"The young master should rest, I'll help him unpack." Alfred suggested. For some reason the boy lost it.
"Don't tell me what to do. I don't need rest. Rest is for the weak. I was raised by the League of Assassins. I'm definitely not weak." Up yourself much? Definitely the son of batman.
"Allow me to show you to your room." Alfred said following the boy out of the cave.
"Fuck you." Oh no he didn't! Did he just swear at Alfred? This kid is great.
I slipped out of site finding another secret passage out of the cave. My guess was the kid was going to the Naughty Room. I don't really understand how it's a punishment. The rooms like a freakin' Palace. By the time I found the room he was already there glaring at the door.
"What are you the son of superman too? Got laser vision?" He just growled in response.
"What is your problem?" He looked back at me, deciding to approach the bed I was sitting on.
"You're one of his adopted kids aren't you? You don't deserve any of this! I'm his re-" i halted him with my hand.
"First off, no I'm not. Second of all, fuck you ya little brat. No one cares if you're related to the bats." He narrowed his eyes at me before lightening up.
"Who are you then?" He asked, genuinely looking interested.
"You're from the league right? Have you heard of Jace Todd. She was my mother. My dad visits a lot but he's not smart enough to realise who I am." Damian smiled at me and held out his hand. I just looked at him puzzled.
"Heard you call it a handshake." I laughed, taking his hand and shaking it.
"I'm Mila."
"Well at least someone here is decent." He said and I felt like I was almost being congratulated.

AN: to anyone that has read the comics where Damian first appeared and where batman dies: good for you. I will still have batman die but I only know that Darksied kills him. Nothing else. I know that he comes back and that there was a point where Grayson was Batman. Don't expect an accurate following of events. You will be disappointed.
