I dozed off after being in bed for a while lying next to Damian. I woke up to the blinds open and the moonlight coming through the window as the rain fell quietly outside.

I quietly got out of bed without making any noise and I felt a tug on the hem of my shirt.

I looked back and Damian was looking at me.

" Please don't go. Im scared." He said clear as daylight.

"Love you are awake. Don't worry Im not going anywhere." I said getting back in bed and caressing his hair.

- Who are you?- He said looking at me confused.

- I am Y/N,Damian.- I said softly

- Where am I?- He said rubbing his eyes as he woke up.

- You are home, your Dad is coming soon.- I said

- Dad? I am thirsty.- He said sticking out his little tongue slightly.

- Come on let's go get some water.- I said grabbing him in my arms and gently carrying him outside.

- I can walk.- He said upset.

I let him walk and saw him make his way downstairs.

-Alfred?- I said reaching the kitchen.

- Come in Miss.- He responded.

- Damian said he is a little thirsty. Also, I think he should eat something. Is there anything prepared?- I asked.

- No miss, but I can make something for Master Damian.-

-That's alright Alfred. I will cut some fruit or something.- I said grabbing a chair for him.

I opened the cabinet and got a glass and filled it up with water. I got a cutting board and started chopping bananas and strawberries in small pieces.

- Okay Damian, so I got you some water and some yummy bananas and strawberries.- I said setting down the plate in front of him. Honestly, I have never dealt with children in my life so I was probably going to fuck up a lot.

Damian immediately grabbed the plate and threw it to the ground.

As I was getting the broken pieces from the ground and cleaning up Bruce walked in and leaned on the doorway looking at us.

- Damian, you shouldn't do that.- I said in an upset but calm tone.

-Hmph- He let out a noise.

-Bruce.- I said surprised.

- This is my dad?- Damian said not even looking Bruce's way.

- Y/N please come with me for a second.-

I followed Bruce into the living room.

-What is it?- I said picking strawberry pieces from my clothes.

- I found an anomaly in his DNA. He appears to be 4 but has the capability of a 10-year-old child.-

-What? Did you find that from a strand of hair?- I asked confused.

-Yes my technology is very much advanced. I just confirmed it with his speech patterns and personality. He looks 4 but is 10. He develops mentally at a rapid pace, I still can not pinpoint the cause.-

- What are we going to do?- I said worriedly.

- I need to run more tests on him.- He responded, his face looked like he was in deep thought as he talked to me.

- Well, if that is the case I agree.- I said hesitantly.

- Put some of this in his water next time. It will calm him down and become submissive. I do not think he will let me do testing on him with his current personality.- He said handing me a vial with a clear water-looking liquid inside.

- Alright. Please be careful with him. He is still just a kid.- I said hiding the vial in my pocket.

I walked back into the kitchen and sat down in front of an angry looking Damian.

-Alright, so what do you want to eat then.- I said

-Nothing.- He responded getting off the chair.

I walked behind him and tried grabbing his shoulder softly to get him to come back and eat something when he suddenly turned around, grabbed my wrist and tries twisting my arm.

-Damian, how- You know that if I did not know how to fight you could have broken someone's arm? You can not go around doing that. How did you learn that?- I asked confused leaving some distance between us.

-Ask Bruce, he will know how.- Damian said reluctantly leaving the kitchen, into the foyer.

-Bruce.- I called for him calmly.

Bruce walked in. - I saw- he said softly.

-How?- I asked looking at Damian stare at one of the portraits hanging from the wall.

- Must have trained with Talia- He responded.

-Makes sense. Well then its all up to you. I don't know her.- I said handing him the vial and walking upstairs defeated.

I walked into Tim's room and laid on his bed while he played video games.

-Sup- He said taking a headphone off whilst still looking at the screen.

-Ugh I am stressed- I said looking at him playing videogames.

-Hold on- He told me

-Guys, I gotta go. My mother is here, Ill be back soon.- he talked through his headset and closed the game.

- Mom?- I said laughing. - I can be your sister dummy-

-Well, you kinda are my mom now. Deal with it Its easier to say that than to explain you are dating the guy I consider my father who is not my father but he took me in and I became a vigilante and you know..all that .- He smiled and laid down next to me.

-Well true.- I laughed.

- So why are you stressed.-

-Damian. There is a lot going on, and Bruce needs to figure stuff out regarding him and it was just so sudden.-

- You know Bruce has it handled. Just give it time and it will all figure out. You should get some drinks or go out sometime Y/N-

-Well, bruce is too busy right now. We can't be going out.-

-Not Bruce, don't you have any friends? Call them up? Or make some- He giggled.

-Alright. I''ll keep it in mind.- I said giving him a kiss on his forehead and walking out.

I think I should call someone up or try to clear my head of everything going on recently. There is just so much that is going on, that even if it involved Bruce, he sometimes does not understand how I am feeling or what I am trying to figure out.
