Damian's Little Batfamily

Every Speedster Needs A Robin

Dick Grayson spent almost every weekend with his 'best friend' Wally West or as Damian liked to refer to him as West. Damian didn't care for the scarlet speedster and often avoided him. But it was hard when your 'brother' spent so much time with him. Ever since Damian's father had returned Grayson had been annoying  him to make 'friends'. Damian didn't like socially interacting with people. Or as he liked to call them 'imbeciles'. Damian was good at avoiding social interactions most of the time except for today. Today he is currently in Pennyworth's car going to Keystone City. His father had agreed to let Damian go to a two day barbecue at the Wests' house, which made the young Robin boil with anger. "Relax Little D it'll be fun" Damian's head snapped to his left to see the older man beaming down at him. "Clearly not, Grayson" Damian pouted. Alfred from the passenger seat of the car replied, "Please don't pout young sir, it looks very immature" Damian glared daggers in the butler's direction.

Sadly they arrived faster than he would have liked. When they had pulled up there were far more people than Damian had first thought. On the West's large lawn there were Titans, JLA members, Drake (Damian scowled mentally), Young Justice members and other heroes. Wally stood on the lawn next to his grill with an apron on with 'kiss the speedster' written on it. Next to him was his wife Linda who was laughing with some friends. The guests were all dancing along with the music, eating and drinking. Dick yanked Damian out of the car and the large crowd howled with cheers for Dick. Dick smiled and waved back but kept his eyes on the troubled Robin. Dick dragged Damian along as he greeted people and finally made his way over to Wally. "Hey Dicky bird wanna cold one?" Dick chuckles and takes the beer from his friend. He sinks down to Damian's height "Ok little D, I'm not keeping you on a leash. You're free to walk around but don't try anything."

The Robin growled and walked away. He walked past all the heroes. He had either met them or read their files. Starfire, Beast Boy, Super Girl, Wonder Woman, ect. He walked into the house and into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and took out a bottle of water. When he turned around he almost jumped out of his skin. "Hiya!I'mIrisbutjustcallmeIreybecausethat'smynicknameandthat'swhateveryonecallsme!What'syourname?!" It took Damian a while to figure out what she was saying. When he had he straightened himself up and glared at the girl. "No I won't call you something that isn't your real name. I don't care what everyone else calls you. And my name is Damian" He couldn't put his finger on it, but he knew this girl. He then remembered Dick's wallet and the picture of his 'niece' Irey seemed taken back by the boy's attitude but decided he needed a hug. She grabbed the Young Robin as he protested and tried his hardest to get away from her but she was stronger than him. Her scent hit him. She smelt of summer and it filled Damian's nose with a scent so beautiful it stung his eyes: her small body fit into his and her arms were secuarley rapped around him making him feel safe and he was so close he could see the twinkle in her eyes and the freckles on her little cheeks. He hadn't known it but his face heated up and he could no longer say he hated the speedster.

For the rest of the weekend Damian spent his time with her even though he would deny liking her he didn't understand that one day he would marry her and she would become his partner not only in battling crime but as an equal and as his soul mate
