I awake to an irritating beeping sound then realise it's the heart rate monitor. I'm still sore like reeeeeally sore, but it's bearable, definitely not as bad as before.

I sit up, and glance around the room I'm in, it seems like a hospital room, but not at the same time.

A few minutes later, two men walk in, one rather tall and muscular, carrying himself like he's seen some shit. The other of average height and much older, holding a wise glint in his eyes.

"Where am I?" I ask the men in slight confusion.

"You're at Wayne manor" the taller, muscular man says in a deep voice.

I frown, and look around the place, the room seems pretty dull.

"What's your name kid?" The tall man asks.

"Why?" I ask, narrowing my eyes at him

"Well I did save your life, so telling me your name only seems reasonable" he says, and I sigh, that was kinda rude of me.

"Sorry, Nico, my name's Nico" I say, holding my hand out for him to shake which he does.

"Bruce Wayne" he says, raising a brow in slight surprise by my actions.

"And you?" I ask the other man, holding out an outstretched hand for him too to shake to which he does.

"Pennyworth, Alfred Pennyworth" he says.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you both and I thank you for the hospitality" I say with a slight nod, avoiding eye contact, it kinda freaks me out.

"It's no problem, though I would like to know how you got into that state" Bruce says with furrowed brows.

"I don't remember" I lie, he seems to know it's a lie but doesn't push any further.

"Why don't you join me and my family for breakfast" he says.

"I don't see any harm in that" I say with a small nod and he leads the way out of the room.

We walk left then left again then right then up some stairs then straight then right then left then up some more stairs then across front entrance into the dinning room.

Wow that was a lotta turns and stairs, well at least I have perfect recall and a really good sense of direction.

We walk into a room with four black haired boys one of them with a white streak in his hair.

"Boys this is Nico, Nico you can introduce yourself" Bruce says, to them then back to me.

"I'm Nicolai Di Angelo, you can call me Nico" I reply, two of them smile as the other two glare.

"Play nice, he's sustained serious injuries, I'm actually surprised he's awake and walking" Bruce says to them.

"I'm Tim" one of the boys say with a smile.

"Dick, that's Damian and that's Jason" the other one says introducing the other two boys also given that they weren't saying anything.

I sit down at the large table as well as Bruce.

"So Nico, do you live in Gotham or are you just visiting?" Dick asks me.

"I guess I do live here now" I reply with a shrug.

"Do your parents know where you are" he asks, slightly worried. Why is he worried?

"Yes...?" I reply and they look unconvinced.

"Why are you lying?" Damian asks with a glare.

"Damian, that's enough" Dick says to his brother who rolls his eyes.
