Zander's P.O.V

Me and Damian were sneaking out of the manor tonight, but we had to get past the booby traps. I put down a device to turn off the grid and then started to climb the fence until we both got shocked by it and fell to the ground.

"You two didn't really think I'd let you sneak out again?" Dad asked us.

"You have us under surveillance?" Damian asked him angerly

"I thought we were making some progress." Dad stated,

"You show me one movie, and you think that gives you permission to keep us prisoner in our own house?" I asked him with a hint of betrayl in my voice.

he kneeled down to our level and put his hands on our shoulders. "It's for your own protection," he told us, and Damian swatted his hand away.

"It's bad enough. You won't let us out in public as Zander and Damian. The least you could do is let Robin and Sparrow have lives." Damian told him

"If you both were a little more trustworthy, I would." Dad told us.

"You've never trusted us," Damian told him

"Trust has to be earned, Zander, Damian." Dad told us

"That works both ways," Damian said, walking back to the manor

"I trust you, dad, even if he doesn't yet." I said, giving dad a hug and then walking back to the manor after Damian.

*Batcave*

Me and Damian walked down to the Batcave a few days later and saw dad working on something. He turned back to look at us, and then he was working again. I walked over to him instead of going with Damian.

"Dad?" I started

"What is it, Zander?" Dad asked me

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for trying to sneak out again" I told him and he stopped what he was doing and turned towards me, I hugged him again and went to the Batcomputer with Damian. He pulled out the file on Anton Schott, and it said case closed.

"If that was us dead in one of those cages, would you have killed him then?" Damian asked him.

"Boys, we have to be better than our baser instincts." Dad said, getting up and putting his bat suit on.

"I'm sorry about sneaking out the other night." Damian told him

"And the night before that?" Dad asked

"Not so much. We stopped the Dollmaker, didn't we? We were raised to be the ultimate soldiers, master assassins. Nothing out there can hurt us." Damian stated to him

"Underneath that heard shell, you both are still just boys." Dad told us.

"If that were true, you wouldn't be taking us out on the streets hunting psychopathic murderers." Damian told him

"Those papers will be signed soon. Everything will be different, you'll both see." Dad said to us and started to walk towards the batmobile.

"If it makes you feel any better, I actually enjoyed watching the movie with you, dad." I said, and he turned to look at me, and I had a smile on my face when I said that.

"Where are you going?" I asked him

"Out." He stated

"What about us?" Damian asked.

"Zander can come with me Damian stay here," Dad said to us, and I went to get my suit on

"How come I don't get to go?" Damian asked him

"Because I think it would be good if you both spent at least one night apart from each other." Dad told Damian, and we both soon left together.

*Museum*

"Dad, what exactly does the museum have to do with the Owl feather you found in Dollmaker's mouth?" I asked him.

"There is an Owl exhibit here, so just stay close and don't touch anything." He told me, and I nodded my head and followed him through the sky light.

We made it to the hall of owls, and dad pulled out the feather and started to examine it. At least I think that's what he was doing. He then walked through the hall and walked up to an owl mask. I could tell he was in deep thought, but all of a sudden we heard a noise, and some ninjas came down from the ceiling. We were fighting them, and one slashed my arm, and dad knocked the mask off of one of the ninjas.

"It's a zombie?" I questioned a bit confused. A ninja from behind threw their sais at us, one hitting dad and the shoulder and one hitting me in the leg. We both groaned in pain, and we kept fighting, but it was clear that they were winning. One slide under dad and sliced his leg, and another came and clawed my face, making my googles crack. Dad grabbed me and grappled up through the sky light, and that is where one of them jumped on dad and pulled him through the second skylight and landed on a dinosaur statue.

"Dad!" I yelled as I saw the ninjas about to kill him, but then they melted into a pool of blood, and I grappled down to him.

"Dad, please hold on. I'll signal Alfred and Dick for help," I said and pushed the emergency help button on dads belt, and I kneeled down beside him with tears going down my face.

"I'll be alright, Zander, I promise," Dad said to me, and I lay beside him, waiting on Dick or Alfred to show up.
