The Waynes (Slow Updates)

Chapter 11: Oh, Brother

"What up Alfred?" Alfred rolls his eyes before looking up at Jason. He had just finished watering one of the many plants on the porch of the manor when the second eldest of Bruce Wayne approached.

"The sky Master Todd, " Alfred replies causing Jason to laugh.

Jason pats Alfred on the shoulder before walking into his old home. Everything was the same. From the red paint that cascaded on the walls to the quietness of his brothers before a huge storm comes.

"The fuck is everybody?"

Cassandra passed outside of the mansion doors. Does she just walk in? Does she knock? Should she call someone?

"Just breathe Cassie, you got this," Cassie says to herself. Cassie puts her key in and turns her hand to unlock it. She opens the door and takes her key out of the door. Walking inside she closes the door and turns around. Everything was exactly the same. From the red paint to the noise of her brothers fighting. Cassie drops her bags and walks down the hall to the dinning room. She remained dumbfounded by what she saw.

The tablecloth from the table was half pulled down, the plates and the glasses were shattered around the floor, there were a fork and a knife impaled in the wall, a knife impaled in the table, Bruce sitting on the couch with a black eye, while a short dark-haired tended to his wound, while a red hair woman tried to stop Dick from getting to Jason, while in the other side of the living room, Alfred cornered Damian, which by all accounts had a bruised cheek, who was trying to get to Tim. On another side of the room, Stephanie was keeping Jason away from Damian and Tim from away from Dick.

"Bite me, Drake," Damian shouts.

"I'm not a dog Wayne, "Tim shouts back.

" I bet Jason is, " Dick says.

"I dare you to say it again," Jason starts yelling.

Alfred, Bruce, Stephanie, and the two other ladies start yelling for them to stop shouting. No one seemed to notice the female Wayne had come home. They were all too loud.

"哦，兄弟," Cass says but no one seems to hear. Oh, brother. Cass turns out of the room and head for the stairs to go unpack in her room. Just like the old days. One of the boys would start something which would lead to all of Bruce Wayne's sons to start arguing. The arguing would then turn into shouting. Then the fighting would start. Alfred and Bruce would try to defuse the situation to no avail. Bruce would get hurt and mumble himself to his office. Alfred would give up and start cleaning up the mess the boys would make. During that time Cassie would be snooping around in each of the boy's stuff, finding stuff she can use later against them. After a couple of more minutes, the boys would get so irritated with each that they will go to different corners of the mansion. Dick in the work out room. Jason in the garage. Tim in his room. Damian in the library.

Today Cassie found interesting things in each of there rooms.

An engagement ring in Dicks room.

A gun in Jason's room.

A bag of cocaine in Tim's room.

Damian's dairy-filled with unsettling thoughts in his room.

A black book in her father's room.

And a vinyl of Destiny Child's survivor album in Alfred's room.

She had hit the jackpot.

The table was rectangular, long enough for all the members (including Damian's pets) of the family to stay on the same side of the table while Bruce sat on the other side of the table so that he could face all of his children and to run if the need arises for it. On the left side of the table his children sat in the following order: Dick, Jason, Stephanie, Tim, Cassandra, Titus, Damian, and Ace. Bruce was happy that neither Selina nor Kory came to the dinner or the things would have gotten messy for him.
He looked one more time at his children and his gaze stopped on Damian. Damian was reading a book with a scowl on his face which made Bruce wonder if Damian ever smiled at all.
