BatFamily One-Shots

The Bite Part 2

Crystal blue eyes flickered open. Dick squinted as the sun poured into what seemed to be his room. It...burned. He put his weight on his arms as an act of trying to get up. A sharp pain came from his body and he groaned. He felt firm hands on his shoulders push him back down in bed.

"Easy Chum." Dick stiffened at the voice.

Bruce.

No no no...

Dick turned his head to see the man he now called father. He was expecting to see hard, stern eyes...but they were soft.

"Why haven't you yelled at me yet." His voice was dry and quiet. Bruce's eyes nor face showed any anger. "Why haven't you told me what I did was wrong! That it was stupid of me to just barge in!" He was now sitting despite the pain. Bruce sighed and sat down on the bedside facing Dick.

"I'm disappointed that you deliberately disobeyed my orders..but I'm not mad because I know you didn't intend on doing it on purpose." A wave of confusion flowed over Dick's face trying to take in Bruce's words. "It wasn't your actions that pulled you into that building. Someone else was at fault for that." Bruce spoke and put and hand on Dick's shoulder.

"What do you me-"Dick's eyes went wide as his memories flowed back into his mind. He rushed a hand towards his neck and felt a thick bandage wrapped around. Bruce's hand gently pulled his hand away from the bandage. "Dick, do you believe in Vampires?" Dick raised a brow at the random question. "They're just legends." The boy said and Bruce sighed at the familiar words.

"They aren't legends Dick. They are real...just a bit different from what you may have heard." Bruce breathed and handed Dick a mirror. "I'm going to show you something ok?" Dick nodded and was a little worried at Bruce's calm voice...it was too calm.

"Here's one thing you need to know, Batman...Never make a Vampire mad."

Bruce shivered At the man's words and held the mirror up to Dick's face. He pulled Dick's lip up to reveal the his now known fangs. It was silent for a short while as Dick just starred at the mirror. Then you could here small sobs and the boy began to break. Bruce pulled his eldest into his arms letting the boy cry.

"I'm a monster.." Dick sobbed causing Bruce to hold onto him tighter. "No no no Dickie you're no monster." Bruce tried to reason but Dick just violently shook his head. "Bruce I'm the definition of a monster!" Dick yelled and Bruce grabbed his shoulders forcing the boy to look at him. "Look at me when I tell you this! In this families eyes, Dick, your an angle and you always will be! A name doesn't describe the person it's given to Dickiebird so stop this madness and let us help you." Dick's eyes widened at Bruce's words and the Wayne smiled. "Now you get yourself cleaned up and out of the sun ok? I'll talk to you about this later." Bruce Said and kissed Dick's temple. He got up from the bed and walked out of the room.

Dick swung his legs over the bed keeping in mind of his aching body. He made his way over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of grey sweatpants and slid them on. He then pulled his shirt off and headed out wincing at the suns rays. He walked down the hall towards the Master suite. He opened the door to find Bruce at his desk. Bruce raised and brow and watched his eldest head into his closet. Moments later he reappeared with one of his black sweatshirt. Dick pulled the sweatshirt over his body and flipped the hood over his head. Bruce got up from his chair and walked over to the hooded boy. He pulled him into another hug and rested his chin on the boys head.

"Let's go find the others." Bruce murmured and the hug was released. The duo headed out of the room, down the hall, and down the stairs towards the living room where the others sat. Once they walked into the room all eyes were on the eldest. Damian jumped up and wrapped his arms around Dick's waist while burying his face into Dick's stomach. "Hey lil'D.." Dick muttered to the boy who tightened his grip

"Had us all worried there Dickhead." Dick looked up to see Jason walking over to him. The man gave Dick and side hug trying not to push over the youngest. Dick's attention was brought towards Tim who was standing back from the group. The two who were latched onto the eldest let go and Dick walked up to his younger brother. "Sorry if I scared you Timmy I didn't me-" Dick was cut off as Tim rushed forward and hugged him. "Don't scare me like that Damnit!" Tim Said and Dick wrapped his arms around the younger. "I'm sorry.." The two stood there for a minute until the hug was released. Dick walked over towards the couch and plopped down. Damian made his way over to his older brother and climbed onto his lap.

"Your getting to big for this kiddo." Dick grunted. "T-t never." Bruce walked over towards the two and placed a hand of his eldest shoulder. " I have a friend coming over to help you ok?" Dick nodded and Bruce's hand glided its way through Dick's hair.

Damian dragged the family into a game of Mario Cart. They were all spread out on the couch trying there best to win. Courses of laughs and groans rang through the room as the boys tried beating each other's characters. Alfred had brought in snacks and treats for them to nibble on. After a full days worth of playing Damian came in First, Dick second, Bruce third, Jason fourth, and Tim fifth.

"Me and Mario are going to have some problems." Tim growled and the rest of them snickered. "I think it's time for bed." Bruce Said and got up from the couch. He picked up a now sleeping Damian and started walking towards the stairs....

CRASH! "GET DOWN!"

Everyone jumped out of the way as broken glass shattered everywhere. Bruce set Damian on the bottom step and rushed towards the group. He saw a rock with a note attached. Picking it up, he ripped the note off and began to read.

He would have had to feed eventually but I thought I might spice things up.

Bruce's eyes shot up to see Dick's hood down. Jason had a gash caused by the glass on his arm. Crimson liquid trickled down his arm and Dick flinched. Dick brought his head up and everyone froze......

His eyes were blood red.
