|| THE RISE UP OF THE BATMAN || D.W

Chapter 8: "Close."

Author POV.

-"Y/n".

-"yes, Selina..?"

"..Bruce wants to talk with you..."

y/n dried her hands as she walked out the kitchen and picked up Isaac who was sucking on a pacifier "I will take care of him." Said Selina as she picked up the toddler who quickly held on to her.

Y/n walked to the library room as she saw Bruce sitting down waiting for her "are you okay?" "I am alright...but we need to talk about you..."

You looked at Bruce trying not to open this conversation with him but it seems he was in need to talk about this topic now.

-"Damian is indeed my son...but that doesn't mean I won't allow you from moving on from him...You need someone...Isacc needs a father-"

"What makes you think that? I am fine."

"Then why do you cry yourself to sleep every night..."

"..."

 "you thought I won't hear you...?"

A sigh escaped your lips, as you took some steps forward then sat down next to the man before you, you held Bruce's hand as you spoke " this is not the time I look for a partner...Issac needs me more than I need a man or a person in my life...I promise you when Issac gets older everything will change for the better, Bruce..."

Bruce Looked at Y/n then he looked at Selina who had Isaac in her arms sleeping " oh? he slept already?? I will put him in his bed, then..." you said getting up taking Isaac from Selina's grab and walking away taking him to his bedroom.

-"she is avoiding the topic..." Said Selina crossing her arms to her chest.

-" hn... " Said Bruce as he closes his book and put it back on the shelf.

Feeling the female soft touch as she wrapped her arms behind his back as she spoke "...y/n is strong...and she can do it, Bruce..."

-"and I won't live forever either, Selina..."

He said putting a hand over hers as they stayed quiet not knowing that Y/n was standing hearing them as she looked down at her legs after she put Isaac in bed..she made her way back to the kitchen as she continued washing the dishes.

-on the other hand..-

Damian took another step back as the figure before him kicked him and dodged it Damian grabbed the sword off the ground finally stabbing the creature in the chest, Damian pulled the sword away as he stared down at the creature before him now, those fighting skills are very familiar to him.. and he wishes what he is thinking about isn't real. The Male slowly took the mask off only to see A familiar face.

"Dick....??"

Damian quickly picked him up as he started to run towards the Lazarus pit and he slowly put him in it. Excepting the same reaction as always. The Male didn't respond as instead everything was so quiet... Damien's worries started to get worse as suddenly Dick came out of the Lazarus Pit screaming. Damian sighed in Relief as he Hit Dick on the head making him lose consciousness.

Damian picked him as he spoke to the maids "take care of him..." he said as he sat down on the ground not knowing how bad this could be. Who would be next??? He asked himself as he knew that they are after everyone he cares about.. and this isn't going as he planned.

Damian got up as he walked roughly due to his condition because of the fight, so it's happening...no matter how he tries to stop it it's happening... Damian stared at the space as soft footsteps made their way towards him "...so what now..." a calm voice asked as Damian's expression stayed the same.
