Zumi: The Tiger and The Bat

Chapter 11: Nightwing

Damian's pov:

Zuri and I spent three hours of training together, I finally figured out how to do that Tiger Back Kick she uses all the time. She is something special 'Get a grip Al Ghul! You don't need love.' I thought. I manage to find something on Deathstroke on the computer in the cave. I needed to tell father so that way we can make Deathstroke pay for what he did to my Grandfather. I snuck out of the manor and headed to father's work. Zuri never saw me sneak out of the manor, I felt a wave of guilt but I shook it off. 

I snuck into Wayne Industries and waited for father in his office. I looked over some of the work that my father was doing. 'Huh? Looks like the profit margin in Argentina is down.' I thought. "How's it feeling to be your dad for a day?" someone said. It turned around and saw Zuri, she snuck off as well. I forgot that she has a secret agent training for this "Don't do that! You almost gave me a heart attack!" I shouted. Apparently, the soul rings let soulmates know when one of them has left their side.

Zuri waited with me for my father to come in. Zuri was getting calls from her family, they keep asking her where she is. She was angry and full of hate "You want to talk about?" I asked her. Zuri gave me a small smile then a blush appeared on my face but I quickly pushed it away when my father came in. He shut his office door then spoke to us.

Bruce: "What are you doing here?"

Damian: "Reviewing my birthright. This will be mine someday."

Zuri: "Oh boy."

Bruce: "How did you two get in here?"

Zuri: "A bird's nest has better security. But at least it's better than the security at my penthouse."

Damian: "We need to talk. Deathstroke has a contact stationed here."

Bruce: "In Gotham?"

Damian: "We find him, we find Deathstroke. We can take Deathstroke out, permanently."

Zuri: "Damian, I'm not so sure about that."

Bruce: "She's right, we don't kill."

Damian: "I was taught to destroy your enemies."

Zuri: "But that just makes you like them."

Damian: "It makes me better than them. Deathstroke killed my grandfather and your mother, he has to pay!"

Bruce: "Zuri's mother?"

Zuri: "My birth mother was forced into pregnancy with me by Deathstroke, who happens to be my father."

Bruce: "Damian, Ra's was a mad man."

Damian: "He was a hero! He died a hero! (Pulls out a square flash drive) Ubo's Deathstroke's right-hand man. He used to work for my grandfather. He stays in Gotham between missions to indulge his vises, according to mother. I looked up the rest."

Zuri: "Wow, you kinda put my friend, Wade to shame when he looks up classified information."

Wade: "I can hear you."

Zuri: "Wade! Did you call on my bracelet again without me knowing?"

Wade: "Sorry but this is an emergency! Deadly Viper kidnapped Kim and the others! I tried to pinpoint their location but something is blocking me."

Zuri: "We'll continue this later Wade. Oh, Wade, this is Damian. Damian, this is Wade, he's a friend of mine."

Bruce: "You two downloaded this from the computer in the Batcave, didn't you?"

Damian: "I hacked into NORAD when I was six. It was easy."

(Bruce gives Damian a hard bat glare)

Wade: "Oh boy. He's in for it."

Zuri/Damian: "Not helping!"

Zuri's pov:

Wade was right, Bruce called Alfred to come to pick us up. We waited outside till he came then both me and Damian got in the car. "Alfred is to take you two directly home, no stops. You both will not go off on your own, you will stay away from the Batcave, and you will stay out of sight! Am I clear?" Bruce asked. I understood but Damian just looked at him then slammed the car door shut. We headed back to the manor "Well that went well." remarked Wade. I gave him a glare then he logged off.

When night fell, Bruce went out to interrogate Killer Croc as Batman. Damian and I had to stay inside the manor but luckily, I had my own way of being undetected. When I was with Peter at Stark Industries for an internship, Mr. Stark designed me my own suit. So now, when Peter needs my help as Spider-Man, I go as Tigeress.

Zuri's Tigeress Suit

I changed into my Tigeress suit quick then I quietly snuck out the window "Going somewhere?" someone said. I thought it was Alfred but it was Damian in his league of assassins gear. He came with me to find Ubo. "That should be his place. Careful, he could be dangerous," said Wade. After the number of times, I have faced Connie I think a big meathead should be easy. Damian snuck inside to lure him out. I waited like a predator waits for its prey until Ubo came running out of his home and onto the streets of Gotham.

Damian and I ran after him, it wasn't easy. We got him but Damian had almost broken Ubo "Now talk! Where is Deathstroke?!" he shouted. Ubo refused to tell us anything, I pulled out my claws "Either you talk or my beloved here uses you as her new scratching post." Damian threatened. I heard him call me his beloved, I did feel a blush coming on but I suppress it. "Do your worse," he said then passed out. I was just about to use my claws until someone came flying in and knocked me to the ground.

Damian ran over to me "You alright?" he asked. "I've been through worse," I told him. We both turned around and saw someone in black with a blue eagle on his chest stood in front of us. 'That must be Nightwing.' I thought. "The psychos just keep getting younger. (Looks at me) Huh? Another cat in Gotham? Did Catwoman get a partner?" he said. Damian was filled with anger and charged straight at Nightwing. He gave Nightwing a few good cuts but then Damian was hung up by a lamp post and gagged.

I got up and did my best to fight Nightwing. I gave him a few good scratches on the arm and even a black eye. Of course, I got tied up as well. Nightwing called Batman 'Great, we are in so much trouble.' I thought.
