Six years. Six years since damian had been kidnapped, by who, they still hadn't figured out. By this point the batfam had suspected that damian was dead already. Most had lost the will to search for him.

When they first started looking for damian, it took dick almost a year to convince bruce to help. Because of his fear of never finding damian, he often tried to back out. The family wouldnt let him though. They were to far behind and didn't have the time to lose a detective.

When he willingly stopped fighting against them, they were so happy. The had their best detective on the case. And he was willingly going to help them.

The boys had been having a hard time finding any clues without him. So, when he came around, they were expecting a dramatic change in pace. And they were right, there was, in fact, a dramatic change in pace, for about a year.

During that time they randomly found more clues then they had without bruce. Almost as if the kidnapper had gotten messy or left clues for the batfamily to find.

Though, they ignored that and by the end of the year they thought they knew where damian was. Except, when they went over the plan to save damian they realized, none of the puzzle pieces fit. The information was all over the place and no matter how much they tried they couldn't seem to make sense of it all.

Then they knew, they had been lead on, for an entire year. Given false information while the real information was taken away and, probably, discarded. They were a whole two years behind whoever had kidnapped damian. They may as well have gotten away been then.

This is also what lead to the present. They had arguments every week and every day about what to do. They wondered if they should give up or continue searching. The arguments got so bad that the family broke up.

So, six years after damian was kidnapped, the family had all seperated. Bruce had stopped looking, dick basically never visited the Manor anymore, Jason kept looking because he knew what it felt like to be abandoned, and tim he was a professional hacker on the police force.

Today was one of the days where everyone met at the manor. No matter how much dick want to be back at his home right now, he had to admit he didn't want to lose his second family. So, in hopes of not losing anymore brothers or a dad he makes everyone come to "Family day" where everyone shows up and hangs in the livingroom.

It was the middle of winter so Bruce sat with a cup of coffee watching the fire in the fireplace burn. Dick sat on one of the couches texting someone on his phone while Jason stood by the door way. His hands in his pockets as he also stared at the fire. Tim was on the floor trying to finish a report for work while wishing he had more coffee to drink.

No one had talked since they all showed up, at least until they heard a knock on the front door. Dick and Tim's heads lifted at the sound while Bruce and Jason looked at eachother.

"Did you invite someone else?" Jason said looking at dick with a face of confusion. "No of course not. This is like "us" time" dick responded standing up. "That's weird, Who could be at the door? We're you expecting anyone, bruce?" Jason said turning towards bruce. "No, not right now at least." Bruce responded. This put everyone on alert.

Another knock was heard. Jason turned walking towards the door. His hand reached down and unclipped one of the holsters that held a gun, prepared for danger. There was another knock on the door . "Ok, Ok hold your horses. I'm coming." Was spoken with exasperation. Jason was getting tired of all this knocking.

Finally reaching and opening the door Jason saw a teen, maybe four-teen years old, standing there with a blank-controled look in his eyes.

"Hello, can I hel-" Jason started to say only to be caught off. "May I please see Mr. Bruce Wayne, sir. I have an urgent message to deliver." The boy had said. His voice was small and raspy as if he didn't use it a lot. But his eyes were void of any emotion and staring straight at jason. "Sorry, but we're having "Fami-" once again cut off by the boy.

"May I please see Mr. Bruce Wayne, sir. I have an urgent message to deliver. " Was repeated by the boy. The boys voice had changed from small and raspy to stern and angered in a split second.

Jason looked away from the young male. Taking a step back and closing the door a little. He looked to his family who were all looking expectantly at him.

"Ummmm" jason hummed with an unsure tone. "There's a strange and unsettling boy looking for bruce what should I do with him?" Jason said bewildered. As he was pointing towards the door the boy quickly opened it stepping into the manor. Jason stumbled as the boy bumped into him.

Bruce, tim, and dick all stood up ready for a fight. Jason steadied himself before also getting ready for a fight. The boy simply stood still, staring at the ground. The bat boys all looked at eachother alarmed before bruce stepped forward.

His head shooting up and eyes staring at bruce, the Boy said "Bruce Wayne, I have a message for you. Please, listen closely. This won't be repeated."

With worried but curious looks bruce, dick, jason, and tim all leaned in ready to receive information.

Somewhere far away, deep deep in a forien jungle there is a temple. In that temple is a chair. It has shiny forest-green trims running along its sides and a nice shiny black base. In that chair sits Damian Wayne.

Rich, and powerful.

The room that Damian sits in is large. It has tall ceilings and red walls. On the corner of one of those walls is a black door.

There were guards lining the inside of the room. All the guards wear the same thing, green camouflage harem pants(thats the actual name of the pants and harem pants are kinda like ninja pants or genie pants).

The door opens as a tall female runs in, breathing hard. All the guards immediately aim their weapons at her. Some guards had spears, machetes, swords, even some lances were thrown in the mix.

"Intruder, intruder!!!" was yelled by the lead general. Unlike the rest of the guards he had an acid green head wrap. "Master damian, what orders do you give us?".

Damian scowled at the woman. He was often annoyed by her. She was 33 and looked almost identical to his mother. Light brown hair, bright emerald eyes, very . . . Curvy figure, and very showy outfits. Only real difference, this woman is a Serious cradle snatcher.

With the wave of his hand Damian said "put down your weapons and return to your posts. She poses no threat". "Damian I know ... you probably don't want ... to see me right now" she said through her puffs of air.

"But you need to know, information has been sent to your father. About you and-" Damian cut her off. "What!!!" He yelled slamming his fists onto the right armrest. "who sent the information!" He growled out.

Fear crossed her features. "I-I don't know" she stuttered out. With a glare Damian stood up. Taking a single step towards her.
