Oh Brother -book one- *under revision*

School and Rar Rides

When I woke up I was in my bed again. Weird, I could have sworn I fell asleep in the movie room... I pulled the blankets off of me and slid down, my bare feet touching the cold floor. I walked out of my sunlit room and into the hall. I made my way to the boy's hall and knocked on what I'm pretty sure it's dicks door.

"What do you want?" A tiered looking Damian answered, glaring at me.

"Oh no, I'm sorry. I thought this was dicks room." I say quickly. Nice going pax, you knocked on the wrong door, moron.

"Greyson is at the other end of the hall. What on earth do you need him for anyway? It's 7 in the morning."

"You guys don't have to be up at seven?" I asked confused.

"Not on Sunday." He sounded really annoyed.

"I'm sorry. I, I didn't know. I'll just go, you go back to sleep. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you so early." I apologize, my eyes glued to the floor. At this rate, Damian will never like me. What does it matter? You're not staying long anyway, remember?

"You apologize a lot. Why?" He demanded.

"Um... Uh... I, I don't know. I disturbed your rest and now you're angry. If I say sorry then maybe I'll avoid punishment."

"Punishment? You won't be grounded for waking me." He glared.

"Grounded?" I looked at him confused.

"Never mind. What was the original purpose of waking me?"

"I was going to ask dick for directions to the kitchen. I still don't know the direct path. " I explained.

"Follow me." He rolls his eyes and exits the room in a lime green robe over dark green pajamas.

"Is your favorite color green or something?" I ask following him.

"Yes, it is. What's it to you squirt?" He retorted.

"Don't call me Squirt. I may be smaller than you but I still kicked your butt." I glared at the back of his head. He gave a scoff not even looking back to me.

"I let you win. I don't like beating up little girls."

"One, I'm not just some little girl, I've handled myself agents bigger people than you. Two, I'm not scared of you. I know that tactic all too well. You think that by using an 'I'm-better-then-you' tone and standing all intimidatingly over me you can scare me." I ran in front of him looking him dead in the eyes. Every part of me is screaming at myself for what I'm doing, how will Bruce react if he finds out this is how you spoke to his son? But I had to ignore that part of me. I've seen his kind before in other homes and if you don't snip it in the bud right off they will never stop. Just like what happened with Katie. "Because I'm not. I'll be out of here soon so you won't have to deal with me much longer." He has a slightly taken back expression but quickly regains his glare. I let him pass me and I continued to fallow him. When we reached the kitchen Alfred was preparing breakfast while Bruce was sitting at the island drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

"Good morning you two, you're up early," Bruce said putting down his paper.

"Not by choice," Damian grumbled sitting next to his father. I stood quietly while Damian rested his head on the counter. "The usual please, pennyworth."

"Is there a reason you keep referring to your family members by their last name?" I ask.

"The demon thinks everyone other than Bruce is scum compared to him," Tim said entertaining the kitchen.

"I will end you, Drake."

"It's been 4 years and yet here I am." He said sitting down on the other side of Bruce. "Hey, Pax."
