To Know Your Family

Chapter 12

It was after their trip into Gotham when they got back later into the night. It was just a question that Tim had asked him in passing, "Have you figured out when we're going back to school yet?"

Tony was delighted to have an answer for him as he's been working on this in all his free time he possibly could. "I'm gonna be sending Peter back to New York in two days for him to finish off the school year with Pepper watching over him. For you four I've already talked to the principal and explained to him the complicated situation we're in and he agreed on a compromise. You four don't have to go to school for the rest of the year since the end of the year is here, but you will have to show up for the end of the year exams. Once the exams end I'll be bringing all of you back to New York with me while we get you all ready for school next year and you can all spend summer back at the tower," Tony explained as he looked at Tim for his reaction, Natasha's voice in the back of his head.

Tim was passive at first, but at the sound of leaving Gotham, his eyes widened in worry just slightly, until it disappeared as if it was never there and he was passive again.

"I'll let the others know. What about the Avengers? Are they all staying until finals as well or are they going back to New York?" Tim asked, wanting to get Natasha and Clint out of the manor as fast as possible is a big goal for all of the bats.

"Yeah, their vacation time is soon gonna be over. Bruce wants to get back to his lab, Thor is gonna be heading back to whatever world he comes from. As for everyone else, Fury has been breathing down their backs.

Instead of announcing his true feelings to Tony he faked a sad look and said how he was sad to see them gone, but that's where the conversation ended as the two went into their respective rooms.

The sound of gunshots rang through the night as heroes are fighting against the villains.

"Those better be rubber bullets," Dick Grayson dressed as Batman yelled towards Redhood.

"No matter how much I want to be a disappointment, they are blanks so you have no need to complain," Redhood yelled back as they took turns taking out the low leveled thugs.

"We have to end patrol early tonight unless there's an emergency. I don't trust the avengers or the spider without supervision," Dick yelled back, making sure to not give any revealing details away to their enemies.

"Oh please! They're a bunch of amateurs what can they possibly do in the span of a few hours. They're supposed to be sleeping after all," Damian said matter of fact, not thinking much of the avengers as he has yet to see them in action.

"They are still heroes and like or not the avengers are older than us and if Tony finds out he, as our legal guardian, has the right to make us stop," Tim said through the comms in the safety of the Batcave.

"Oh Shut up Drake! They wouldn't be able to stop me even if they tried," Damian said as he used his sword to block an incoming bullet that luckily missed him.

"If he finds out and he tells you to stop you will listen till he says otherwise," Dick said in a matter-of-fact voice, fully knowing he was the only one, besides Alfred, that the youngest member truly listened to.

"I shouldn't have to stop the only way of life I know for a billionaire who knows nothing about me," Damian yelled at Dick as he took down another guard, his anger growing from the conversation.

"That is not the reason! Finish this mission and when we get back to the cave you and I are going to have a talk," Dick yelled back as he threw a Batarang just before Damian got jumped.
