Feedbacks and all are more than welcomed, and BEYOND appreciated ! :D

Damian is a brat, but I kinda want to hug him to death...Wait...Oh well, anyway, here's a little story where Batmom (you) really wants to bond with the kid.

_____________________________________________________________________

You had gotten it printed into your brain. It was too late now, you couldn't forget your idea, no matter what. Bruce knew, and didn't try to stop you from doing what you were gonna do anyway. Besides, he thought it was cute.

What was your idea ? Simple. Damian never had a normal childhood. He was still a kid, only eleven...So he still had a chance at having somewhat of a normal childhood (if you put his nightly activities on the side...and the fact that he had been raised to be a killer).

Against all odds, you and Damian clicked pretty fast. He warmed up to you the fastest...He felt like you were the only one of the bat family not judging him in any way. Also, you told him off when he was going to far, and he found that he couldn't speak badly to you, that you had an effect on him that made him want to be nicer. Better...In a word, you quickly became his mommy.

He never really had an actual mother. Talia wasn't exactly loving with him, and she did try to kill him a few times, succeeding once (a memory you don't like to remember). You were the first one, even before Bruce or Dick, to make him feel loved and to make him feel what love really was...How could he resist that ?

The first time he called you "mom", not "mother", "mom", you cried, and the poor boy thought he did something wrong. You explained to him that it was "happy tears", but you're not sure he understood. He gave you an awkward hug, and you couldn't stop but smile. It's that exact moment that forged the idea of trying to show him what a normal childhood was. But, even though he considered you his mom, he wasn't going to make things easy for you and your plans.

******************

It started out horribly wrong. Damian refused every single propositions you made with a : "that's too childish" full of rogue, and you got frustrated, ending up yelling a lot of "just play the damn game with me !" and other "Oh my God it's a snowball it's not going to kill you, just throw another snowball at me, not a fucking batarang !"...You felt childish. You quickly realized you weren't going to help him have a normal childhood by trying to force him to do stuffs, and so you stopped. Instead, decided to lure him in with cake...One day, you made a nice one that smelled too good, and he couldn't help but come in the kitchen, following the smell to the living room where you were eating it. Next thing he knows, he's sitting next to you, eating a giant piece of cake, watching a disney movie.

And it ended up being a ritual. Every Saturday morning ("mornings" at the Wayne's ended at 4pm), you and Damian took the habit of waking up earlier than everyone else to cook a cake or some cookies. You'd then eat it all, just the two of you, in front of a Disney movie. Your youngest NEVER saw one before...he actually never watched any animated movies or cartoons. So obviously, you took it upon yourself to show him of course, and you started with your favorite : (your favorite Disney film).

The first time you did that, Damian didn't really react. He ate the cake, watched the film...and then just left without a word. You were disappointed, thinking he probably didn't enjoy himself at all, and went back to bed to Bruce's arms, a bit beat down. Your husband did his best to make you forget and feel better, and he did wonderfully, definitely succeeding.
