"Damian, what's going on?" I finally decided to ask after sitting at the center of the maze with Damian in silence for 15 minutes. Damian looked at me for a few seconds before looking ahead of him with a scowl, like the maze wall offended his very being.
"Damian," I said sternly, indicating that I would not drop the topic just because he was scowling, as cute as his scowling face was. "Tt. Can you accept that it was for your benefit and leave it at that?" Damian asked with a bitter tone, not wanting to talk.
"Nope. So tell me what's going on, or I'm going to ask one of your brothers." I answered, raising my eyebrow and staring him down. "Tt. Fine." Damian finally relented with a frown as he turned his body to face me and looked more serious than I had ever seen him.
"After what happened yesterday, I asked Drake to look into you. He then informed me that he was already looking into you since Grayson and Todd asked him to and that he thought it would be best to just discuss this as a family. Father came home late last night and told us we would talk about the matter in the morning with my sisters as well." Damian started to explain, holding my hands in his almost like he was scared I would run away before he could say another word.
Giving his hands a comforting squeeze, silently urging him to continue, Damian continued. "This morning we got up earlier than normal and met in the living room. I told Father about what happened in the cafeteria, which got me grounded for this weekend, but then Grayson cursed and told Father what happened with the tour at W.E. Todd then told Father about how he found you lost in one of Poison Ivy's gardens before dark and what happened. By the end of all our tales, Drake suddenly grabbed Grayson's phone since he was showing Father and Seline your picture and said you were the Zombie girl who told him to go to bed. He was confused when he said that when he saw you, you both looked like you were just coming out of a downpour. This made Grayson, Todd, and my sister curse again."
"Gordon then asked what is being done to help you when Grayson said nothing and that your farce of a teacher is useless. Seline then asked what we could do to help you, without killing or maiming your idiotic class. Father said that he and Tim would look into it. My sister refused to stay on their getaway and will be here by this evening. Grayson, Todd, Drake, and I then decided that we would scare your class a bit since we would be in our own home and could pretty much do what we pleased. Grayson was the reason for those spills, Todd was responsible for the moving eyes, and Drake used a few, umm, pharmaceuticals on the sweet dishes that would cause vomiting and diarrhea."
Absorbing each word that passed his lips, I only had one question urging to be answered. I couldn't help but whisper a soft, "Why?" causing Damian to look at me baffled. "Because we care about you, and you do not deserve this treatment. Not even that demon that is attached to your hip." Damian answered, leaving no room for argument.
"But why? You guys barely know me, know us, so why help before we could ask you to?" I whimpered, unsure if I could trust Wayne's sincerity. "Because... I don't know, Angel. I feel this need to protect you since the first time I met you in that blasted alley where you saved my ass. When I saw you at school yesterday, I wanted to be angry with you for what you did, but every cell in my body just wanted you close. I have no idea what is happening to me, but I know everything is as it should be when you're next to me. And I will be damned if I let anyone harm so much as a hair on your head."
