The Bird & the Blade

The Family

Hunters point of view:
     I sat relaxed in one of the kitchen chairs next to Damian as Alfred got breakfast ready in the kitchen. The other three Robins happy chatted with each other along with Batgirl.

    Sparky who had taken a liking to me was sitting next to me while I listened in on the conversations and sipped my coke. I realized after a short time home, how similar all the brothers where.

      While Dick was much quieter and stern then his other brothers, but when he was with them he was confident and funny. He liked to tease his younger brothers and asking them how everything had been playing out for them.

       Tim was the most quiet out of the four but he was just as smart if not smarter. His mind was quick with thinking up problems and solutions. He also was the most gentlemen like out of the bunch, to me at least.

        Jason was definitely a character, I could tell. He was very similar with Damian as the both were quick with comebacks and more aggressive and dominant than the other two, he was also more cocky than Damian which I didn't believe was possible (but apparently it is). Jason was also the least gentleman like out of the bunch but liked to tease and make fun of his siblings which he was protective over.

     Damian was neutral as he sat with me and his brothers. While he didn't like to show it, he liked being around his brothers. He teased Dick and Barbara while he bickered back and forth with Jason. He seemed to talk mostly logic if at all with Tim but it seemed they both preferred silence and got along with each other because of it.

Jason startled me when I heard him say towards me and Damian "So how did you and Damian meet?" Damian head snapped up from looking down at his black coffee, which I personally find revolting.

I looked at Jason and said "We were both raised in the ranks of the Assassins." Jason looked surprised but Tim pointed out after hearing the conversation "Most assassins are closely nit and with Damian being the leaders grandson, it doesn't make sense that you would know him if you were just a low level child assassin."

Damian glared at his brothers as if to warn them before he said "Enough both of you." I gently touched his leg under the table to calm him slightly and said "No I'm the daughter of two people in the villain world that are extremely I guess you could say, important." Damian sat unnerved by my answer but carefully watched his brothers reactions with a neutral expression.

Jason and Tim looked at each other as I saw Dick and Barbara give each other a look out of the corner of my eye. I knew the look as it's the same look Damian gets when something bad is going to happen. Tim looked my facial features over and I could tell he was looking me over for any slight hint of genetic lineage that stands out.

Jason looked at me laughing as he tried to make a joke and said "You aren't the daughter of the Joker are you?" Jason laughter boomed as he leaned back and I gave Damian a look which prompted him to try and reassure me with a squeeze of my hand.

Jason and Tim realized I wasn't laughing and both froze before Tim said "Your the daughter of the Joker, and trained by assassins before being brought in and trained with Batman and then dating one of his robins." I slowly nodded as I expected the worst from both of them.

I was not expecting Jason's reaction. He just laughed louder and chuckled as Tim who I was expecting to be a little more violent just looked me over as he thought. He looked like he was sizing me up but smiled when Jason tumbled out the back of the chair with his extensive laughter.

      Damian seemed slightly reassured by this and relaxed at my side. Dick relaxed next to me while Barbara seemed at ease as his brothers took the news well. Breakfast soon came out and Alfred set it on the table for all of us.
