Damian's losing his mind in the manor.

Perla's missing, and the last place the younger Wayne has seen the white cat was in the library of the manor. Normal, Perla is seen with his other cat—Alfred, playing around with each other. It's what they do to pass the time, but when Alfred came meowing his way to Damian, looking up at the boy with big eyes that's when he knew something was off.

He even went as far as asking the cat what the matter was expecting an answer back. He and the cat grew close in the years she was brought into the manor with his stepmother, along with all the other cats that seem to come and go. With Titus along his side, they almost flip the big home upside down. To say that Damian Wayne grew close with the cat was an understatement.

He should ask Selena if she's seen the white cat anywhere but the woman was sleeping peacefully up in the bed that she shares with his father. Damian would just have to wait until she woke up from her slumber—however, during a night of patrol Damian faintly remembers a young woman picking up Perla one night, saving her from a vehicle that drove faster than the speed limit and his suspicion only grew from there.

~😴~

The sound of snores put Valentine at ease, they aren't coming from her but from the dog that's sound asleep. Honey, lying on her side on the left side of the bed (when Valentine herself sleeps on the right side). The sun was out and bright, and normally it would've woken the sleeping pair, but considering Valentine one day decided to put on thick blankets to block out the light she was never bothered by it again.

and now Valentine has a habit of oversleeping. (Normally she would have an alarm, but the sound made her blood pressure go up a bit. So now she relies on her father. Who hasn't been doing a very good job lately)

Sometimes he forgets. What an amazing father.

Lottie, who slept on the silk pillow which is right above Honey's sleeping form, is the first to awaken. She stretches out her limps, long white tail swaying back and forth as she makes her way toward the sleeping teen. Lottie jumps from her pillow to Valentine's, and she doesn't budge. Lottie lets out a meow, no reaction from Valentine.

A small purr? Nothing

Rubbing her head under Valentine's chin? Nada.

and the last and only thing the Cat can do is jump on Valentine's sleeping form and lay on her face until the poor sleeping woman can't breathe.

And it works.

Valentine rises quickly, snatching Lottie off her face as she lets out a heavy breath. The tried teen glares at the cat in her hands—

"I take care of you, let you into my home, and let you sleep on my bed—and this is the thanks I get from you"  Valentine glares at the cat.

As a response Lottie Meows back, Valentine places her on her lap and runs her fingers over her messy bed hair with her eyes closed—trying to savor the few seconds of sleep she has. After a few, she forces them open to stare back at the clock that sits by her nightstand. She squints her eyes to make out the bright red numbers.

"Damn" she huffs out "I'm going to be late"
She blinks back at Honey who's still asleep, snoring softly, and turns to look back at Lottie. "Thirty more minutes won't hurt. I can miss gym class"

Dramatically, Valentine falls backward, head falling back onto her pillow. She lets out a relieved sigh, eyes falling shut as she feels Lottie get comfortable on her stomach.

And about an hour later, Valentine is awoken, along with both Honey and Lottie. Her own heart is beating quickly, Lottie hisses as she jumps off Valentine and hides under the covers—Honey hides her face under the pillow to block out the loud sound. The teen blinks a few times, trying to calm her pounding heart and trying to process everything.

She turns to stare at her clock.

'8:30' it reads and she curses at herself kicking off her blanket, tapping Honey as a signal for her to move so Valentine herself can finally get out of bed. Honey jumps down right after Valentine does stretching for a while before she shakes. Lottie jumps up into Valentine's arms.

"Let's go see what my dad is up to at this hour"

The tan teen slides on her slippers easily before she takes a leave out of her bedroom. Cringing at the loud music that could be heard through the apartment. She shuffles her feet up against the cold wooden floor. The closer she got to the kitchen the louder the music got and when she entered the kitchen she saw her father, dancing to the music as he made himself breakfast completely unaware that his daughter was standing right behind him.

The loud music was giving the teen a headache and she spots the speaker on a couture right by the dishwasher. Valentine goes over and turns it down and the older man hears it. He turns himself around and nearly jumps ten feet into the air when he catches sight of his daughter.

"Good morning!" Valentine waves, giving her father an innocent smile.

"Shouldn't you be at school?" He asked as he turned back around to focus on the food that was on the stove.

"I woke up late" shrugging Valentine takes a seat on the kitchen table "So what are we eating today?"

"Well, I'm having a breakfast sandwich with hashbrowns. You can have the toast"

Valentine huffs out "But I'm really hungry...."

"Should've gone to school and you could have eaten there"

"But I'm sick and tired of eating Crustble sandwiches for breakfast"

The old man rolls his eyes, but Valentine can't see. He can feel her gaze at the back of his head. "I'll give you half of my sandwich if you feed the dog....... And why is there a cat on my table"

Valentine gets up from her seat, chair legs scraping up against the floor as she picks up Honey's bowl and walks up to the bottom pantry where the dog food is kept. "I found her last night hurt. So she's our new guest until she feels better"

The older man places two plates down at the table. One for himself and one for Valentine. He waits until the teen is sitting down In front of him before he starts to eat. At some point, Valentine had brought a small plate full of blueberries for Lottie.

"Can you take me to school today?"

"You can't drive yourself? I got you a car for a reason"

"Yeah but I wanna spend time with you" she pouts, poking away at her half sandwiches.

"You forgot to put gas in your car again didn't you?" The man looks down at his daughter, eyebrow raised in suspicion. Valentine's shoulders drop as she leans back up against the chair and frowns.

"......Yeah"
