"WHAT?!" Damian yelled, shocked. "NO!" 

"You have no choice, Damian." A little smirk formed on Bruce's face. "You will be Jakhaler's big brother from now on... You will train him..." Bruce commanded. "Both of you found him, and now... You both are responsible for him... You and Jon... will take care of him."

"Father-"

"Are we clear?" Bruce raised a brow.

"Bu-But-"

"Are we clear?!" Bruce raised his voice.

"Fi-Fine. TT." Damian scoffed as he crossed his arms and looked away. 

"Jon?" Bruce looked to Jon.

"Sure, Mr. Wayne!" Jon smiled happily. "Jack! come here!" he smiled, brightly.

"Jack?" Bruce raised a brow.

"Damian didn't like the name Jakhaler... so he named him Jack." Jon explained.

"Great. I see you have taken steps on your brotherly duties..." Bruce smirked.

"I am not a baby sitter." Damian murmured, scoffing.

"Hmmm." Bruce grumbled. "Jack." He called.

"hmm?" Jack raised his head.

"Damian and Jon will take care of you... so look to them as your own brothers..." Bruce adviced.

"O-Okay..." Jack hesitantly nodded. 

"Good." Bruce nodded. "I have to look at the remnants of your ship... save any technology that your father left you..." Bruce informed him as he wore his cowl. "I will come back later." He turned around, his cape fluttered as he did. Bruce walked to the zeta tube and pressed a button

"Recognized. Batman. 0-2." The zeta tube announced, as Bruce disappeared. 

"W-What happens now?" Jack turned to Jon.

"Well..." Jon started to think. "Damian?" 

"Hmph." Damian scoffed, as he abruptly walked away.

"Sorry." Jack apologized as he lowered his head. 

"No no..." Jon reassured him. "He can be hard headed sometimes... he'll soften up eventually..."

"You sure?" Jack raised a brow.

"Yep... Speaking from experience... we became best buddies since then." He smiled.

"Bud...dies?" Jack asked, carefully.

"Yep... buddies... We're buddies now..." Jon chuckled as he placed a hand on his shoulder. "That's what we call our friends... our buddies..."

"Oh..." Jack's voice trailed.

"So... can we be buddies?" Jon smiled.

"Y-Yeah!" Jack exclaimed. "Yes please."

"We're buddies now... bud." Jon chuckled.

"Bud." Jack nodded. After a few minutes of sitting to themselves in the cave, both boys were approached by Alfred.

"Boys." Alfred called as he approached both of them. "According to Master Damian, your to be called 'Jack'?" He raised a brow.

"Yep..." Jack nodded. 

"As you are now part of this family, Master Jack... I believe it's time I show you, your room..." Alfred smiled. "Master Damian has taken the liberty of choosing your room for you." 

"And here I thought he'd be hopeless..." Jon snickered.

"Give Master Damian a chance, young one... he'll get around." Alfred gave Jack a hopeful smile, to which he returned. "Come." He patted the young boy on the back. Without thinking Jack started to lean on Alfred for comfort. "Hmm..." Alfred let out a small chuckle.
