Promise Me This... (A Damian x Reader Story)

Chapter 6: Late at Night

You woke up with a start, breathing heavily. You looked at your clock. 3:26. Crap, you thought, I can't go back to sleep now, what if that nightmare comes back again? Maybe I'll see if Damian is up, I can go sleep with him to calm myself down. It Friday night (Saturday morning), and the week had gone by quickly.

You got out of your bed, and walked to Damian's room. You knocked on the door softly. Hearing no response, you opened the door slightly, and peeked in. Damian wasn't in his bed, and there wasn't any sign of him anywhere. You walked downstairs, and wandered around the first floor for a bit, before you came across a door. You heard muffled sounds, three at most.

The door was unlocked, so you opened it enough to get yourself inside. It seemed as though there we're a lot of stairs. You sighed, and started walking down. After you got to the bottom, you could see that there were three figures in the large room, which looked like.... A cave?

You stood behind a wall, and peeked around the corner. You squinted so you could see better. One silhouette looked like a tall bat figure. Another looked like a boy, taller than you, and he was wearing a cape. The other looked like a tall man, with extremely good posture. You sneaked to the corner closest to them so as to get a better view.

Peeking around that corner, everything was so much clearer. Batman?! Robin?! Alfred? You we're quite confused. Why was Alfred with Batman and Robin? Why were Batman and Robin in your house in this mysterious cave with all it's crazy gadgets? Did Alfred invite them here? All these thoughts and questions we're running through your head. It was too much for 3 in the morning. You extended yourself from the corner, getting a better look at the cave. But you stepped on a rock, which made a large crunching sound.

Batman, Robin and Alfred stopped talking, pausing their conversation. They all looked over to where you were standing. You pulled yourself back around the corner. Chills running down your body. Hopefully they didn't see me, you thought. Hopefully. You heard footsteps walking toward the wall, tensing your muscles, you looked around frantically trying to find a hiding spot.

A small crevice was in the rock wall, and you fit in there perfectly, though you couldn't fit everything in there. When they arrived, you shrunk yourself, appearing smaller than you were. Alfred said he didn't see anything, and Batman said he didn't either. They walked away, but Damian eyes a bright piece of clothing from a crevice.

He shouted for Batman and Alfred to walk back over, as he pointed to the material. Shit, you worridely though, that's my shirt, fuck, I'm screwed. You mentally cursed yourself. Batman walked over first, and grabbed the material. That made you fall out of the crevice. You squeaked as you fell on the ground, quivering. Batman's eyes widened at the sight of you. "Alfred, why is she in here, didn't you lock the door?" "I believe that was Master Damian's job." Alfred replied. Robin looked offended. Damian? You mean, Robin is Damian? You got up, brushing yourself off. "Damian?" You said. He removed his mask.

Damn, he looked even hotter in his uniform. Batman took off his mask. "BRUCE?!" You we're taken aback. Damian and Bruce were Batman and Robin. Your eyes widened in amazement. Bruce looked at you intensely. You knew you were in trouble. "What are you doing down here, (Y/N)?" You only looked at him and answered, "I came to investigate after I heard random voices in this room. I guess it was luck that I'm here." You sort of chuckled and rubbed the back of your neck.

Bruce pinched the bridge of his nose, "What were you doing up in the first place?" You thought about it, which you didn't have to, but it give you a little bit of time to gather your thoughts. "Well, Bruce, I had a terrible nightmare. I went to check if Damian was up, but he wasn't in his room. I went downstairs for some water, and walked around a bit to clear my mind." You responded.

He looked at you, exasperated. Damian looked at his father, hopefully. Bruce looked at Damian, almost pleading with his eyes. He turned to Damian, "Fine, since she knows out secret, she can be one of us." Damian gave a silent "yes" pumping his fist. "One of us" probably meant a super hero? "Damian, she needs training first, tomorrow night, after school. You will both meet here. For now, go to sleep, both of you." You both ran upstairs, jumping for joy.
