The Musicians (Damian Wayne x reader)

62. Recovery

~~~Your point of view~~~
You had been using crutches for a few weeks and taking it slow as to allow your injuries to fully and properly heal. Bruce had arranged for you to catch up on school work from home so you wouldn't have to go out after having recently releasing your identity as well as getting kidnapped. The boys had gone above and beyond to help you. Damian would help you with everything that had happened in school while you were recovering. Jason would often bring you take out, despite Alfred wanting to always prepare a proper and balanced meal for you. Dick would get you anything you asked for if you knew he was going out. However, the one that was the most concerned with making sure you were absolutely, perfectly comfortable was Tim. You could tell that the others couldn't quite figure him out because they hadn't been there, but you were happy to see him feel better about it. He finally had some clarity and was going to be the best big brother figure you could have. He would bring you extra pillows or juice and he was the one who would help you when you wanted to go outside. One problem with living in the manor was all the stairs, but you were certainly glad to be part of the bat family. Whenever one of the members caught you staring at the stairs with uncertainty, they would swiftly pick you up, grab your crutches, and carry the both of you downstairs. You never abused this though. You spent most of your time in your room, working on school work and planning for your career. Eventually, you had healed enough to start moving regularly again. Dick had gone with you, so he could drive you; Tim had insisted on coming as well.
      The doctor explained to not over exert yourself and that you should slowly ease into your previous routine. You were irritated but accepted it. He made an appointment for you to see a physical therapist to help you walk normally again. He spoke more about how to care for your leg, and eventually it was time for you to go home. Dick drove and Tim sat in the back seat. You were sitting in the passenger seat, carefully moving your leg. "Feels weird doesn't it," Tim laughed as he watched you.
       "Yeah," you sighed, looking back at your leg.
       "Hey, you're almost there," he nudged your shoulder.
       "I guess so," you sighed. "I'll have to re-learn techniques that I had already mastered."
       "That's ok," Dick assured you, still looking at the road. "You have a whole family to help you."
       "That's right," Tim cheered.
       "Thanks guys, you smiled.
       The next few weeks were difficult for you. You had finally caught up with school work and you were walking normally. You returned to school and everyone was excited to talk to you. Many were confused about what to call you but you managed to settle that without too much hassle. You returned to your normal school schedule and Damian and Tim walked you to each one of your classes. (Mb/n) was always glaring at you, but never talked to you or Damian. She probably didn't want to take any heat for bothering you after the whole ordeal you'd been through. When you went home you quickly did your homework as far forward in the schedule as you could and then moved to work on rebuilding your strength. Tim was often the one who helped you and he researched as much as he could so that you could regain peak physical health. Damian would also often be present but he would sit and watch as Tim instructed you on how to do exercises.
       Once you had almost returned to the strength that you had started with before you had gotten injured, your doctor cleared you to begin doing more exerting activities. You started training again, but the boys made sure you took your time. Eventually, you were allowed by Bruce (and Tim and Damian with hesitance) to go out into field as a test for one night to see how you would handle it. Tim still wasn't allowed out without anyone else, so he watched the bat computer as Bruce took you out to let you practice. You were so glad to be able to do this again. You didn't go out on patrol often, but you didn't like the idea of being limited in what you could do. You showed you were perfectly capable of taking care of yourself in taking down robbers and street criminals, but it would be a long time before you would willingly face another villain like the Joker.
       Not only did you work on your fighting skills, you also worked on your music career. You got yourself used to your studio once again and began producing music again. However, you would wait a bit longer to return to modeling. You had gained some weight due to all the meals Jason and Alfred had been giving you. Since you couldn't exercise much, you weren't burning it off as much as you used to. Damian would always tell you that you were perfect and you didn't have to lose weight, but you explained to him that it was purely because you wanted to return to the job you loved in the best condition you could.
