The Bat Pets

Sick Of This

Damian was sick when he woke up, and every animal could tell.

One, the room smelled weird, and weirder than the normal animal smell.

Two, he mixed all of their food up so the fish had no idea what to do with a dead mouse in their tank and the snake had no idea what to do with dog food.

Three, he continued to stumble over things which Damian never did. It got so bad that Titus and Titan had to stand on either side of him so he could be supported enough to walk to the bathroom. Garret and Pennyworth even moved the toys so he wouldn't fall.

Four, he was coughing a lot and his stomach was making all sorts of sounds all night. He coughed on Pennyworth multiple times but Pennyworth wasn't going to complain, because that's what a good pet does!

Five, he forgot to open the door to let the animals go relive their selves.

Everyone knew what was happening and wanted him to stay in bed but the dogs also wanted to go to the bathroom.

Titus and Titan held it in like champs but Damian still wasn't out of the bathroom. (he fell asleep in the shower).

"Come on! I need to go!" Titan whined as he scratched at the door to the bedroom.

Titus was being smarter about this and not moving around. "But Damian hasn't opened the door yet" Titus complained.

Not even Garret rebuked them because he knew what the feeling was like

"You're whining is really starting to annoy me!" Raven said at them with a frown.

Titus looked at Raven and said "Come on, help a dog out, can you open the door?"

Raven rolled her eyes and stretched her white owl wings before saying "I'm in a cage too, Damian locked it before going to bed last night so I can't get out."

"Well why didn't you say so?!" Garret asked as he scurried over to her and opened the cage.

She stretched then said "That's better, I will help you"

She picked up Garret and flew him over to the door knob and dropped him on its handle which turned and opened the door.

"Hey, hey, hey I didn't say you could use me!" Garret complained but the dogs were running out fast.

Damian must have woken up soon after because he came out of his bathroom, still looking like crap but he could walk some.

"Jerry, Titus, Titan, to the batcave, we have a case to work on." Damian said with a slurred voice.

He didn't even notice that Titus and Titan weren't there but Jerry hoped up and gobbled a little as he ran over to Damian.

Garret decided to follow Damian, because he had a bat buddy there who he wanted to talk to. He jumped on Jerry and rode him down to the batcave where Damian sat down in the chair.

Batcow could smell the problem immediately and looked at Garret pointedly.

"Hey, hey, don't look at me like that! We tried to keep him in the room!" Garret defended before crawling up the batcomputer and calling for his buddy.

Damian wiped his running nose on his sleeve and stared at the screen with red eyes.

Batcow frowned then turned to Garret.

"Get Titan and Titus to bring him to bed" Batcow demanded.

Garret scowled down at Batcow and said "What are they gonna do? They'll forget all about it when he throws them a ball"

Batcow scowled then walked over to Damian. He pushed Damian's chair which made Damian look over at him.
(I have no idea if Batcow is a boy or girl so... Just work with me here😆)

"What's wrong?" Damian asked.

"You should go to bed" Batcow said but to Damian he sounded like he was mooing, but Damian seemed to understand a little.

"I'm fine" Damian said, turning back to the computer.

Batcow looked at Garret who sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Fine, bat didn't come anyway!" Garret huffed as he jumped down and walked all over Damian's keyboard and scurried off.

"Garret!" Damian growled but coughed.

In a matter of minutes Garret brought back Alfred, a table cloth in his mouth to lure Alfred down.

Garret dropped the cloth on Damian's head and when Alfred took it off he saw Damian' s sick annoyed scowl.

"Master Damian you're sick!" Alfred exclaimed.

"I'm fine Pennyworth" Damian muttered as he turned to go back to work but Alfred was quick yo turn the computer off an doull him out of his seat.

"No you are not Master Damian, go straight back up to bed and I'll make you some soup." Alfred demanded.

Damian glared but Alfred would get his way.

And so Damian was forced to go to bed and even fell asleep despite not willing it, while his pets crowded around him, laying on his legs so he couldn't get up as easy.

Titan ran back into the room and saw Damian in bed. He smiled and said "Hey! We did it! Damian is in bed!"

"I did it" Garret corrected as Titan crawled on top of Damian who was trying to read. He laid his head on Damian's open book and stared at him, willing him to go to bed.

Damian scoffed and set his book down then looked at his animals. "You're against me today. Don't think I won't forget this next time there's treats."

Still, none of them moved.

"Fine" He grumbled as he laid down staring at the ceiling.

Titan closed his eyes but just then the door burst open and Dick ran in.

"DAMIAN!!!" He exclaimed. "You're sick? Are you okay?"

Titan and Titus's tails wagged for a moment but they didn't get up.

Damian groaned "Grayson!" He growled.

Dick was holding a bag with chips, ginger ale, candy, cough drops, medicine, and movie CDs.

"What are you doing?" Damian growled.

Dick smiled and said "I'm helping you!" He opened the door more and wheeled in a TV in front of the bed.

He fanned out the CDs and said "Okay, we got the Princess's Bride, Indian Jones, the Notebook, Big Fish, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, and Forest Gump."

Damian scowled at him and said "Which one has sword fighting?"

Dick smiled and pushed a disc in into the CD player. "Princess Bride it is!" He exclaimed before plopping on a chair.

Damian rolled his eyes but watched anyway, because fighting Dick was useless.
