[28] Brotherly Bonding

Damian and Dick chapter :)

Indolent: Lazy (source/example- my sister)

Damian was angry about being sent out of the Batcave, who wouldn't be? What right did Drake have to send him out of his birthright? At the same time, however, Damian was glad of being excused from the nonsensical family meeting that Drake had used to sow doubt about the only acceptable member of Damian's family (except Alfred, of course.) and Damian could use this time to ensure that Grayson was alright.

So Damian rushed up the stairs towards Grayson's old bedroom and knocked on the door, no answer. Damian furrowed his brows and knocked again, still, no answer. He was not a patient person, and his previous training made it all too easy to break down the locked door to Grayson's bedroom.

Grayson was sitting in the center of his room, eyes closed and legs crossed, but the tears trailing down his brothers face were the least of his concern at that moment,

"Look out!" Damian called as tendrils of water curled through the room. But as Grayson turned, the tendrils dropped and splattered on the floor,

"Damian?" Grayson said in surprise, Damian furrowed his brow,

"It appears a villain was using your distressed state as a cover to attack you with their water powers." Damian informed Grayson as he surveyed the room. Grayson looked confused for a moment before smiling softly,

"Don't worry Dami, nobody's attacking me." He said quietly, "I just lost control a little." Damian frowned,

"You didn't do this, you aren't a meta." He said calmly, Grayson just smiled, and the water curled around him before turning into a Pegasus and flying around Damian's head,

"Grayson?" Damian asked in surprise,

"Sorry I didn't tell you, Lil' D." He replied, "but I didn't want you to be in trouble of Bruce found out that you knew and didn't tell him." Damian shook his head, not caring all that much about that nonsense,

"Does Drake know?" Grayson shook his head and Damian gave a feline grin, "excellent."

(Dick POV)

I chuckled and pulled Damian into a hug, almost forgetting my guilt,

"How long have you had these abilities for?" Damian asked while struggling in my grip,

"All my life." I replied, letting go of him. Damian frowned,

"That's not how being a meta works."

"I'm not a Meta, my powers are genetic." I shrugged.

"Explain." Damian insisted with crossed arms, I chuckled,

"You won't believe me." Damian frowned,

"Yes I will."

"I'm a Demigod." I said abruptly, Damian scoffed, but I continued, "my father is Poseidon, god of the sea."

"You were correct, Grayson, I don't believe you." I chuckled and pulled out Riptide, flicking the cap off and holding it out for him to see.

Damian looked at the weapon in surprise, "Xiphos blade.... Impressive." He muttered, "what's the material?" I smiled, Damian will always be a sucker for swords,

"Celestial Bronze." I replied, Damian fixed me an unimpressed glare,

"If that sword hadn't been a pen a few seconds ago, I'd call you a lunatic." He said simply. I chuckled and ruffled his hair,

"It was a gift from my father."

"The god?" Damian asked, I nodded,

"Don't tell Bruce, yeah?" I laughed softly, Damian raised an eyebrow,

"How long have you managed to keep this a secret from the entire family?" I shrugged,

"Since I was 12? Jason's known all this time." Damian crossed his arms,

"You told Todd and not me?"

"I told Jay when he first moved here, and it's part of the reason he died, I didn't want to risk your lives."

"I can handle myself far better than that Indolent Fool." Damian snapped, "Besides, what could there possibly be that could pose a danger to me?"

I sighed, "The gods are real, as are all the monsters of myth." Damian scoffed, but  ignored him, "Hellhounds, Dracenae, the Minotaur, so many others."

"Impossible, people would know." I simply shrugged,

"You'd think people would notice Olympus floating above the Empire State Building too, but there's a force called the Mist that hides all of that." I explained, "When Jason said I'd killed, he was referring to monsters."

Damian crossed his arms, "he said you've killed over 5000." I chuckled,

"Closer to 6000 now."

"Do you kill Hellhounds? Surely they're trainable." Damian asked, his inner animal lover coming out,

I pulled out Mrs O'Leary's whistle and threw it up in the air before catching it again, "Funny you should ask that..." within seconds of my blowing the Whistle, Mrs O'Leary shadow travelled into the room, "meet Mrs O'Leary."

Damian's eyes lit up and he immediately went over to pet her. Though he tried to hide it, I even caught him whispering "who's a good girl?" A couple of times.

"Wait." Damian said, pausing his petting of Mrs O'Leary for a moment, "did you just say that Olympus is above the Empire State Building?"
