Damian was dressed in his suit and walking out of Wayne Industries, briefcase in hand. A swarm of reporters ran over to him, snapping photos and holding microphones into his face. Damian had to take a step back or a microphone would go right up his nose!
"Mr Wayne! Is it true your wife had a child and you are now a father?!"
"Was the child adopted or a mistake like you?!"
Damian glared at the press. But kept his cool.
"Yes it is true. And no my daughter wasn't planned but I will always love her. She is special to me."
"Is her name Gertrude?!"
Damian's lips twisted into a frown. He would never name his child something so horrid.
"No actually her name is Martha"

"Why have you been keeping her behind closed doors for three years?"
Because you people are monsters? Because he doesn't want his child to be corrupted. Because she was his sweet little girl who he wouldn't let anyone hurt.
"We thought it would be better for her to stay unknown for certain reasons"
She looked five when she was really three.
"Will you be bringing her to your adopted brother's circus opening?"
Ah, yes. Dick had created a chain of circus' around America and made money by owning them.
"Yes"
"We ALL look forward to meeting her"
Big mistake.

Damian and Irey walked into the large gates of the circus park. Crowds of people were around tents and people were laughing and having fun. Damian sported black jeans and a red shirt while Irey went for a yellow sun dress. Martha who was in the middle of the two held both of their hands and had her hair in pigtails and was wearing red shorts and a green top (with yellow shoes).

Dick was busy with some of the acts he had hired and Stephanie and Tim were tiredly running after their kids. Meanwhile, Cass was trying to get Jason to stop beating one of the clowns with a crowbar. A bunch of press approached them and Damian wanted to run.

"Do you mind if we ask your daughter some questions?"
Damian looked to Irey. She just smiled.
"Of course"
The reporter sunk down to Martha's height.
"And what's your name?"
He cooed. Martha didn't shy away. She just answered like a normal person would.
"Marty"
"Oh. And do mommy and daddy ever fight?"
What kind of question and answer was this?!
"All the time"
The reporter smirked.
"About who loves who more"
His frown turned into one of annoyance. Damian's kid was smart and sarcastic. Irey shown with proudness and Damian chuckled.
"Oh?"
"And they also compete to see who's more religious"
"Really?"
"Yeah. Every night mommy always shouts 'oh God'"
The reporter scribbled it down and Damian blushed.
"Anything else you want to tell me?"
"Yup. You're a bad man and I have to go celebrate my uncle's circus. Bye bye."
Martha strutted off and Irey followed. The reporter looked up to Damian who was smirking.
"She takes after her mother"
