Too bad his family still thinks he is dead
When he takes on the role of blackbird and creates a team of superheros, will his family figure out who he is?
or will it be too late for the youngest wayne
Damian took a deep breath, he could do this. It was his first day in the new high school. The hallways were loud and it was very crowded. Damian scrunched his nose, it smelled like weed and sweat. Layla was walking beside him babbling about something. They both had English class for the first period. It was on the top floor, so they made their way to the staircase. Layla waved hello to some people, while Damian just smiled at them. When they made it to the class, Layla grabbed Damian's arm. "I don't know what Gotham classes were like, but you should prepare," Layla said. Damian just looked confused, while opening the door.
The loud noise made Damian immediately want to leave. Layla just smiled, before leading Damian to one of the seats in the back. It was in the corner, right by a window. Layla and Damian both sat down, waiting for class to start. Two boys sat in front of them. One turned around, "Layla, who's your friend?" Layla smiled, "This is Damian, he's new here." The boy nodded his head, "Shit, okay. While I'm Leo and this is Mateo." Damian smiled a little, "It's nice to meet you." Leo gave Damian a questioning look, "Are you from Gotham?" Damian just nodded, "How did you know?" Mateo laughed a little, "The accent is a giveaway." Damian snorted at that.
Their conversation was interrupted by the teacher talking. She started talking about a book. Damian was already bored with the topic, so he scrolled through his phone. He blocked out the teacher talking and went into the messaging app on his phone.

Damian took a deep breath, not wanting to freak out. Layla must have noticed the panicked look on Damian's face. She peaked over Damian's phone, looking at the line of texts. "So, what are you going to say," Layla asked. Damian opened and closed his mouth a little, at a loss of what to do. "I'm going to let her come visit" Damian replied confidently. Layla smiled, "That's great D, I'm proud of you!" Damian blushed at the small compliment, before

Damian put his phone down, smiling at the texts. He must have been zoned out a lot because the bell rang. He quickly picked up his things, before parting ways with Layla. He had science next. Sam and Lucy were in his science class, so it was okay. Science was in the basement, with all of the other science classes. He walked through the crowded hallways again, putting his head down and walking to class. When he made it, Sam and Lucy were already there.
He quickly walked in and sat down beside Sam. Lucy was in the seat in front of Damian, sitting beside a girl with black hair. Lucy quickly turned around, tapping the girl's shoulder. The girl turned around, with a smile on her face. "Hello, my name is Cleo," The girl said. Damian smiled, "My name is Hafid, but you can call me Damian." They smiled at each other before the teacher spoke up.
"Okay everyone, we have three new students. Would you guys like to introduce yourself" The old woman said. Lucy got up first, "Hello, my name is Lucy! I was born in America and moved to Saudi Arabia a few months ago." Sam was the next to stand up, "My name is Sam, I was born in Nanda Parbat and moved to Gotham when I was 10. I moved to Saudi Arabia six months ago." Damian was next, "Uh, hello. My name is Hafid, but you can call me Damian. I was born in Nanda Parbat as well and moved to America to live with my father when I was ten."
The teacher smiled, "Ah! So we have some American's here! Okay class, any questions?" One girl raised her hands, "Have you ever met a superhero?" The trio seemed to look at each other before Lucy answered, "I met Robin 5, he was really nice." Murmurs were heard around the class. One boy asked, "I thought he was dead?" Lucy nodded, "I met him before he, uh, died." When the class settled down, The teacher started teaching.
Damian and Sam had a hushed conversation, not paying attention to the teacher. They already learned this material back at the League. Damian sat through the class, waiting for the teacher to assign homework. They got their homework and were let out of class early. Damian was gitty now, walking up to his next class. He had music next, and thankfully he had Nolan and Evelyn in his class.
When he got to the class, He sat down beside Nolan. Evelyn wasn't there yet, so Nolan and Damian were talking for a little. Evelyn finally came into class, rushing to sit down. Nolan snickered, "What took you so long." Evelyn just rolled her eyes and nudged Nolan's shoulder. "Maybe she got distracted by a pretty girl" Damian chimed in. Evelyn just smacked Damian's arm, quickly pulling out her notebook. The teacher started talking, and their conversation died down.
Nolan wasn't one for instruments at all, he preferred to take photos, but he need to get a music credit to pass. He just scrolled through his phone. Damian liked playing instruments, he could play plenty of them. Evelyn enjoyed singing, but wasn't too good at playing instruments. The teacher was going through different music notes when Nolan said, "Jeez Evelyn, you're really taking this class seriously."
Evelyn rolled her eyes, "Of course, I want to get good grades." Damian clicked his tongue, "Evelyn, you will get good grades even if you didn't try." Evelyn made a cooing noise at Damian, "this is why your my favourite little brother." Nolan laughed at the comment. Damian tutted, "Evelyn I'm your only little brother, your only sibling at all!" Evelyn laughed and continued to write down the note.
"Your my favourite Robin, if that mean anything" Evelyn whispered to him. Damian looked up at her, a little shocked. He sent her a short smile before he turned back to the front of the class. When music class was finished, Damian had math next. It was his only class he had with Kamilah. He chatted with Layla and Lucy in the hall for a while before heading to his final class.
Kamilah was already sitting in the back. Damian walked up to her, greeting her with a kiss on the cheek. Kamilah smiled at him, "I thought you weren't going to make it." Damian just laughed at her comment. He pulled out a notebook and listened to the teacher. School was especially boring today, nobody was really teaching a new lesson. Damian slid his hand and put it on Kamilah's thigh. He squeezed a little then continued to write in his book.
They stayed like that for the remainder of the lesson. Small touches and stolen kisses. The teacher didn't seem to care, just kept teaching. Damian got bored, and ended up doodling on his page. Nothing to big, just a sketch of a oak tree. It reminded Damian of Titus. The dog had died a little before Damian passed away. He misses that dog, but now was not the time to think about it.
When the last bell finally rang, Damian collected all of his things. Kamilah gave him a kiss goodbye before going to get her things out of her locker. Damian grabbed what he needed from his locker before heading to the front doors. Nolan found Damian in the halls, and quickly joined him. They walked to the front doors, where they saw Lucy, Kamilah and Sam waiting for them. They came over and joined there conversation as they waited. Evelyn and Layla joined them a few minutes later.
They started to walk home together. They talked about anything that came to mind. It didn't take to long to get home, only about a 15 minute walk. For those 15 minutes, they laughed about things that happened that day. They talked about Drama in the school and how boring school was. Maybe they could get use to this new reality they are living. Maybe it wasn't so bad.
