"Water is Thicker" {Damien Wayne/batfam fic}

chapter 9

.

Damian fluttered his eyes open then shot up.

"Woah, woah! Calm down, dont do sudden movements dude. Your going to pass out again!" Grayon scolded and tried to calm him down.

Damian took in a few paniced breaths them realized he was in his room back at the manor and in his pajamas with his wounds tended too. Jason, Tim, and a girl the same age as Tim with short black hair were also in the room. They wore civilian clothes and watching his TV without giving him much notice. They all looked somewhat ticked.

"My mother, is she-"

"She's fine Damian. Bruce, Selina, and Alfred wanted to have a... 'talk'... with her...."

"...What sort of talk?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"No, no, no, NO! Damian is fine with me!" Talia yelled at the small round meeting table in the batcave.

"No he is not Talia!" Bruce yelled back from across the table. "A child should not be trained the way he is! He shouldn't have all the scars on his body! He shouldn't be targeted by Assassins like Slade Wilson! Its not normal Talia!"

"I know its not bruce! But when you have Ra's Al Ghul blood in you, you learn how to protect yourself! If i didn't have him trained as well as he is today this conversation would never be happening and you would have no idea he existed! You shouldn't have known!"

"Damian came to us because he had no where else to go. What if it happens again? What if its the other way around? What if he gets killed Talia!? What then!?"

Talia glared at him with her green eyes illuminated. Her furry evident.

"Lets all calm down." Alfred stated as he sat inbetween them on the round table across from Selina who had her arms crossed. "Master Damian has shown himself capable, that is true."

"Thank you." Talia stated glaring at Bruce who spoke again.

"But in order for you to get control of the chaos in the League of Assassins, its better for him to resign here for safety reasons. Its to my understanding his face isn't known to all and only to the elites correct?"

Talia nodded. "Correct."

"Illiminate them. Then he can pose as a billionaires son in the meantime. You'll be able to see him on television and whenever you can on your own accord as long as you cover your tracks thoroughly. But he will resign here. He'll go to school, and maintain a low profile." Bruce offered.

Talia laughed. "School!? He's already intelligently advanced to the point of more then a college level. School will only bore him. And ontop of that note, you mean Bruce Wayne and Selina Waynes child." Talia glared at Selina.

"Hey, i didn't even know about him until today. But yes, that is what we're perposing." Selina stated.

"You are not taking my child away from me." Talia stated. "She cant even pass as his mother! Enither of your skin tones mach his and neither of you have green eyes. People will know shes not his mother!"

"We're not taking him." Bruce stated ignoring what she said temporarily. "We're keeping him safe from enemy lines. We aren't denying you visitation. You can see him however much you want as long as its not in public or can be tracked back to Damian and us. Keep a low profile, and you'll be welcomed into this home to see your son whenever you please. No questions asked."

Talia shook her head as she thought it over and put her fingers through her hair stressfully. Her head bandage showing. She had to get stitches to her forhead but nothing major. She was okay to leave as bruce used a health serum that healed her wounds faster then normal. But at the moment she had a pounding headache as she grapped trying to find her words.
