Family of Bats

A sick little demon bird.

Damian pov

I do not understand why I am feeling so...miserable. My stomach hurts so bad. I feel truely horrible and I have no idea what's wrong. I even had to empty my stomach through my mouth at 2 am in the morning. That has never happened to me before. I suppose I have to do now what I do with al annoying things in my life. I ignore it.

'Master Damian, everybody else is already at the breakfast table. Are you coming?'

I swallow and try to not let anything out of my stomach.

'Yes Pennyworth, I shall be down in just a minute.'

I hear his footsteps going away and slowly get out of bed. A pain shoots through my stomach, but I ignore it, though it is harder than I anticipated. I quickly and painly put my clothes on and walks downstaires.

'Morning sleepig beauty.'

Tim teases. I don't know what It means, but If It comes from Tim, It must be mean so I glare at him.

'Not today Drake.'

'Well someones in a mood. Did the little demon have a rough night?'

I just glare. Pennyworth puts a plate with absolutely delicious looking pancakes in front of me, but I simply do not have any desire to eat. I just stare at my plate and try to ignore the stinging pain In my stomach. Why does this happen to me. Why can Drake not suffer this pain, or Todd? That would not be a problem.

'Aren't you gonna eat Dami? You didn't finish your dinner last night ether.'

'I simply have no desire to eat Grayson. I do not need to be here.'

I stand up and suddenly feel miserable. I fall to my knees and grab my stomach.

'Dami!'

In a second, Grayson is beside me. He wants to help me up, but I do not accept his help.

'I am completely fine Grayson. I do not need any help.'

I stand up and quickly go to the bathroom. There has to be some medicin for my stomach.

I frown as I watch Dami walk out of the room. There's definitely something wrong with him. He didn't even said something mean to Jason and Tim. He didn't even react to the sleeping beauty remark. Now that I think about It, he probably never saw that movie. I need to educate him on Disney later, but that can wait.

'Did Dami looked sick to you guys?'

'He always looks sick to me, he's way to pale. He should really go outside more.'

Tim says It as a joke, but I can see him thinking. Tim mostly doesn't care about Dami, but he saw the same thing I saw. There's definatly something wrong.

'Just let him be. He'll be fine. He doesn't care about us so why should we care about him.'

Jason doesn't even look up when he says It so he can't see my deathglare. After more then ten years with Batman, I've gotten pretty good at It.

'He does care Jason. He just doesn't know how to show it because nobody actually cared for him before. He's a lot more like you than you think.'

Jason glares at me, but I have no time to react to him. I need to find out what's wrong with Dami.

'Alfred what do you think?'

He's always lurking in the shadows. He would've been a great batman If he was younger.

'When master Damian joined us, I looked some things about the league. When an assassin would get hurt in battle, he would be treated. But when one would get hurt In practice or would get sick, they were looked down upon. If master Damian is truelly sick, he is probably afraid that you would think he is weak.'

Tim sighs and I know he's thinking the same thing as me. We hate the league. Damian is ruined because of it and it's taking a lot of effort to actually teach him how to be a child. I'm really gonna kill Thalia when I see her. Not Rha's. I'm not that stupid. But what to do?

Damian pov

I officialy think that there is something wrong with me. The pain just keeps getting worst. I am just laying on the couch and ignoring the pain, but to my dismay, It's not working. I feel like I have nothing in my stomach anymore and I can't move without having any pain. Then Todd walks in the room and I curse the universe ones again. He looks at me and frowns.

'I hate to ask, I really do, but are you okay little demon?'

'Yes, I am perfect.'

Todd frowns and then walks out of the room. I have to move. I can't have him seeing my again like this. Is stand op and again there is a stinging pain, unfortunatly, this time I can not supres it. I scream as I fal on the floor and grap my stomach. I bite my lip, but the tears are already rolling down my cheeks.

'Damian! Oh god, what's wrong!'

I can hear my brothers running in the room. I do not want them to see me in this state, but it can not be helped.

'Dami, where does it hurt?'

Tim asks worried. He is worried for me? Am I halucinating to? I am still laying on my side and am trying to catch my breath, but I am not able to speak. The pain is to much. I can not believe that I am actually crying in front of my brothers.

Tim pov

He's...crying? What the hell is going on? He doesn't seem able to answer me, but he cluches his stomach.

'It's his stomach. I think...could it be his appendix? That can hurt like hell.'

'If that's the case, he needs surgery.'

I nod at Dick.

'Can you go get the car Dick? We need to get him to the hospital.'

Dick nods and quickly gets up. I'm trying to lift Damian up but he starts to cry harder and squirms.

'I'll get him.'

To my suprise Jason carefully picks Dami up bridalstyle. Dami still squirms, but there is no getting out of this strong grip.

'It hurts!'

Damian cries out. Jason shushes him and tries to hold him as comfortable as possible.

'It's gonna be okay little demon. It will all be over soon.'

I can't hide my look of suprise as I follow them to the front door and I can already hear the car. I open the door so Jason can sit in the back with Dami and quickly get in the front seet next to Dick. He drives way to fast, but we can't slow down. Damian is still crying and It only seems to get worse.

'We're here!'

We get out of the car and run into the hospital.

'We need help!'

Jason screams loud. Immediatly a nurse comes to us and leads us to a room. It all happens fast an Damian is in surgery before Bruce can even get here.

'What happened?'

He asks when he comes charging in the room.

'He was in pain. He's in surgery right now. They're removing his appendix.'

He nods and sits down with us. Time seems to go extremely slow, but eventualy a nurse comes and takes us to Damians room.

'He sould wake up soon and then you can take him home. He might have pain for a few days more, but he should be fine.'

She then leaves. I see Jason looking at Damian worried and smile.

'You're secretly a total softy aren't you?'

He growls and mumbles a 'shut up' under his breath. It's so funny when he tries to deny It. After about twenty more minutes Dami finaly wakes up. He's a little grumpy because of the medicin and he falls asleep in the car. When we get home Jason is the one that offers to carry Dami to bed. We're all suprised, but I'm also happy. Maybe things between them will be beter after this. The little demon will still hate me, but maybe he and Jason will be okay.

'Put me down at ones Todd! I am perfectly capable of walking! If you will not put me down right now I shall slit your troat in your sleep.'

Never mind.
