Under My Hood (Bat Family)

Ch.9 Cats

I turned to face Batman's cold glare. His costume wasn't soaked, which meant he arrived just as I entered, or is very good at staying dry.

I heard Damian snicker from behind me. That Brat.

"Yes Bruce" I replied in an innocent tone, often used by my mother. "You were told to-". Stay here, ha, "-Stay in the manor" I cut him off, taking a bite of the heavenly cookie, " You never mentioned 'Staying at the Manor'" I used, what, Air quotes. The Bat growled slightly, He never said I had to stay in the Manor. His eyes went in the direction of Dick. They began to talk in another language. It sounded close to Arabic, Romanian?

When they finished Dick groaned and muttered something Romanian.

"Leona" my head perked up to the black bat "Do not worry Dick, Alfred, or Damian like that again".

I sighed annoyedly and finished the remainder of the cookie. The Elderly Servant was indeed a great chef. Now where was Pennyworth. The kitten was probably frightened at all the new sights and smells.

His scent led to, I believe, Med-Bay. The black bundle of fur was sleeping contently on a blanket, on the medical bed. Where was Pennyworth, how dare he leave the poor creature unattended.
It sneezed before shivering once again. This cave was not prepared to house MY beloved. I swiftly removed the damp sweater, it was moist, but warm. Gently lifting the small being I tucked it inside the sweater that acted as a blanket. I slowly trudged up the stairs that led to the library.

Now where was Damian, most likely to put away his costume. Dick, he's a mystery.

I stroked the kittens fur softly to comfort it. I can imagine the feelings going through its mind. Even though it is only a few days old, the new smells can be overwhelming.

Where was everyone. It was silent until I got near the kitchen, I heard constant shushing. Was this an ambush, a horrible one. I scoffed. "You're all horrible at ambush". I stood at the archway of the dining room. Loud Groans and "I forgot she had enhanced hearing" were heard through the room.

"She brought the rat"

I glared at the childish voice. Damian. My beloved is not a rat. Dick, Bruce, Barbra, and of course Damian, were there. Yes the, half day of birth, unnecessary, much like Grayson's existence.

Babs glanced in my direction, or more specifically the kitten's. Her eyes softened at my beloved.

-Time Skip because Neptune is lazy 😅😋 and this is a filler chapter-

I scrolled through the phone Babs had gotten me. What had really interested me was the music, Fall out Boy. "Twin Skeletons " is my favorite song out of most though.
