The Girl That Changed The Wayne (Book 2)

3. Mistake

When we got home, we headed down to the batcave.

Everybody was there.

"HEY EVERYONE! DAMIAN GOT HIS ASS KICKED FOR A GIRL!" Dick announced.

"Grayson!" I yelled and kicked him hard in the shins.

Before I could get another kick in, Jason picked me up and slung me.on his shoulder.

"Let go, before I--" Jason cut me off.

"Awww.......so little Damian does have a heart." Jason cooed.

I flipped off him.

"Don't patronize me, meatbag." I said.

Helena mussed my hair.

"So who is this girl?" she asked.

"A friend." I growled.

"You mean your girlfriend?" Dick teased.

I kicked his shins again. He fell.

"Hey.....give the little guy a break. I have Stephanie as a friend but she's not my girlfriend." Tim walked in.

I harumphed and locked myself in my room.

I called Coraline.

"Hello?" she said.

I plopped down on my bed, tired from school work.

"Hi, Coraline, its Damian." I said.

Her voice perked up. "Oh hi! How did your friend take it?" I asked.

"I literally had to lock myself in my room." I said.

"Oh." She giggled a little. "I wouldn't hear the end of it either."

I blushed.

We talked for hours and she suddenly asked,

"Do you have a type in girls?" She asked.

"Wha? Oh no. I don't really pay attention......." I said.

"Oh. I like strong, harded boys that have heart on the inside. Maybe green eyes....." Coraline said a little dreamily.

I blushed then laughed nervously because that described who I was.

"Oh...." Was all I could say.

"Wait, hold on." I heard her put the phone down.

"Dad?" she said.

"Who are you talking to?" he demanded.

"Er...nobody...." she said nervously.

"Don't lie to me!" I heard a slap and then a cry of pain.

Then, the phone line went dead.

"Coraline? Coraline!" I hopped off the bed and stole Grayson's keys.

I drove past the speed limit and screeched to a halt at her house. I kicked down the door and saw what was Coraline's dad slapping her down a hall way.

"Hey!" I said and exerted enough force to crack him into a wall.

He grabbed my neck.

"So this is the little shit you talk to, huh?!" he demanded.

"Erk!" I said as he started to crush my wind pipe.

I could smell the booze in his breath.

Then, Coraline grabbed a knife and plunged it into his neck.
