Damian's POV
It was another normal day at the manor, everyone was doing the same boring routine, eat, train, go to school or work, why father forced me to attend school I would never know. I could have a PhD already if it weren't for the fact my teachers were murdered before I could. I didn't understand how my going to school would be any benefit to me or father at all, I could be much more resourceful elsewhere. I sat down at the breakfast table opposite Drake, mumbling a low thank you to Alfred for the food as I sat down. The atmosphere was a little off today, Alfred seemed more tired than usual and Drake looked too exhausted to even try and fight me, which by the way is pointless anyway since he would never win. When my sister bounded downstairs with her bright morning energy, the room lightened a little. "Morning all, morning Dami," She chirped, ruffling my hair as she passed me. Drake muttered a small good morning while Alfred wrapped her in his arms for a hug. Making no attempt to stall my departure from the breakfast table and the weird feeling in the room, I ate quickly and left for school.

Once at school I stood waiting for the bell to go, scrolling through various case files on my phone as I did. There was no way Drake and Grayson filed everything here correctly, so I made it my job to check them every now and then. A few kids walked past, turning the noses up at my very name. If there was any challenge that still caught me off guard it was blending into a normal school life. With a name like mine invisible didn't exist at school, and with knowledge like mine it was overwhelmingly tempting to correct them all on their mistakes. Sometimes verbally, but it's not my fault it turns physical. My phone buzzed in my hand and a message notification appeared on the screen. A message from my sister. 'I know how much you hate school, I know it sucks, but hang in there Dami! Once you've mastered school you could get away with anything (not like you can't already you mini ninja) -R x'

I smiled at the message and replied back, 'Thank you, perhaps I can teach you some more tricks tonight?' I waited for her response, hoping it would come before the bell for home room. 'Of course I do! Any tricks from you are worth learning, you better keep your promise tho Dami,' she replied. I smiled again, this time at my sister's eagerness to learn new skills, that's the kind of enthusiasm I'm supposed to have here. Too bad I didn't. I texted her a final message before putting my phone away as the bell rang, 'I promise'.

What I wasn't expecting was the numerous phone calls from Robin at lunch time. I had 5 missed calls. Upon seeing this I immediately called her, worried there was something wrong. "Sister you called-"
"Look Dami, lets just-fgh-skip the formalities. Your mother is attacking me and I need help, she's caught me pretty off guard here too. Get your butt over here-shit woman you nearly hit me!- and bring me something to defend-ouch that's gonna hurt-myself with!" My sister shouted down the phone, obviously too preoccupied to have a fluent conversation. And of all the people to be attacking her it would be my mother. "I'm coming, hold on," I spoke firmly. I snuck out of the school gates and towards where my suit was stashed. I had agreed to come to school if I could obtain my suit from a reasonable place nearby if I had to defend myself. Now was a good situation to use that agreement to my advantage. I picked up an extra katana for my sister alongside my own and went to where her phone's location was.

Once I got there I saw Robin stood on high ground, a large slash across her shoulder. "Stay back you crazy woman or I'll portal you to a land of man eating giants!" She shouted at my mother. I launched myself at my mother, catching her with the element of surprise, she was beginning to irritate me, attacking my sister in broad daylight like this. "Well finally a challenge, how's your father treating you? He's not giving too much attention to this delinquent is he?" My mother quipped, pushing at Robin's buttons. "Tt he cares more than you do," I commented.

"What do you want mother?" I questioned, swinging my blade towards her. "I want you, and if you agree to come with me, I promise I won't hurt that fake sister you have over there," she replied, blocking my katana with her own. Fake? Did she not know Robin was my blood relative? "Don't do it Dami! I'm fine I promise!" Robin shouted. She was fine for now, but there was no telling what my mother would do to get to me to go with her. "I want to see her safely home before I come with you," I stated. "As you wish," my mother replied, moving her Katana back down to her side. I put my own away and climbed up to Robin. "You have 15 minutes, meet me at the Docks or face the consequence of breaking our deal," mother spoke.
