An answer to my dreams(Damian Wayne x reader)

Time flys

I keep my my forehead against his."Thank you so much." I shut my eyes I feel tears slipping from them. I feel his hand cup my cheek and wipe them away."Don't thank me. Your presence is enough thanks." I sniffle. I feel his hand around my waist pull me closer to him. The other hand. Moves to my upper back. I let him pull me to his chest."I regret not being able to save you sooner." I keep my hands to his back, lightly tracing the crinkles in his shirt.my face is in the crook of his neck. My body against his chest.my legs over his lap. Oh...wait I'm sitting in his lap. I turn a bright red.he holds me tight."I'm sorry I didn't save you sooner." I feel all embarrassment leave my body."Don't apologize those events may not have been favorable but they made me who I am today. Don't apologize." I keep crying. I hold him tightly now. I don't know how to thank him for helping me. Shortly after, I realize that it's currently summer so we don't have to worry about signing me up for school. Then I notice how each of the boys is constantly gone. I rarely see bruce and everyone always has bruises and cuts. Me and Damian keep up our morning spars. Then I go to the forest with a book from the library and read it with the nymphs. At the river. We dance and sing for a while. This is the best my life has ever been. But all my unanswered questions need answers.
A month later...
So one day I ask alfred."Why are the boys all so beat up all the time. And why are they gone so often?" He smiles kindly."I think that is a question for master bruce to answer. Follow me." I follow him to Bruce's offices the door opens and I see bruce at his desk."Miss Umbra has a query for you master bruce." He nods his head."Well come in, what can I do for you." I'm not going to lie to me he is quite intimidating. I look at my fingers as I mess with my nails."Well you see...I was wondering why all the boys are gone so often if they don't have school, and why they all are beat up and stuff so often...I'm sorry if it's none of my business...I'm just curious if there's something I'm not informed about." He smiles. "I was wondering when you were going to ask that." My head snaps up. "Follow me, I have something to show you." He stands from his desk and walks over to a fire place. He pulls a statue head and pushes a button on his desk. The fireplace moves and an elevator is revealed. He steps in,"Authorized Bruce Wayne.Authorized Umbra." I walk in. Staring at the monitor in the wall. "Woah...." he looks at me,"Umbra during your time in gotham did you ever hear about or see any super hero's?" I nod"a lot of people talked about Batman and some other names. I also heard about some hero's from other towns." He smiles wide...no way...he's..."Im Batman."the door opens and we're in an amazing cave. There are so many things to look at. And if Damian hadn't saved me like he did...I would have never seen all of their. It's so...amazing. I don't know what to say. I see dick and Jason. They're fighting. Or we'll Jason is. Dick is sitting in a chair looking at his hand. Jason is shooting at holographs,"What are they doing?" Bruce smiles,"They're practicing a hostage situation. And how to save someone." I think for a second he saved me...what if...what if someone else needs saving. What if there's someone else like me who needs help.I remember how after mother's death I was kidnapped by joker. I remember the 'school' how the kids were forced to mess with each other and I always got the short end of that stick for the months I was there. I remember catching the gas in viles and freezing it and making it into capsules. What if there are others who need help like that. What if there are others that are just like me."I want to help people." I say turning to Bruce. My face having hardened at the thought of Bruce. I remember my not talking about the 'school' I think everyone got out the night I lead the escape...but I can never be sure. He nods his head."very well.according to Damian you are an impressive and preeminent sparing partner." I smirk,"Did he really say that." I sound so hopeful.God...why am I so hopeful. Bruce smirks,"he did. "And due to his remarks I would like to have a sparing session of my own. I'm sure he taught you a few tricks." I think back. He did, at first I was confused but he did... me and bruce step into a kinda bright blue ring. Once we're in the middle I hear Jason call Tim to the room and Damian enters as well. Dick sits down and so does Tim. Still messing with an iPads. Alfred stands beside them. I look at bruce...This is going to be very eventful. A hologram appears,"3...2...1...begun" I close my eyes. My senses take my side in this. I absorb as much as I can before I hear the air rushing. I move out of the way. His heart is a steady beat. As is his breathing. He doesn't get as easily frustrated as Damian. I feel a leg go to sweep mine. I leap up. Sending my leg to his rib. He locks my leg there and I use that to my advantage as Damian showed me. I wrap my other leg around his neck. And quickly shift my weight. Sending him to the ground. I roll out of the way as he let me go to catch himself. I hear gasps. I hear how the air is shifting around him. I open my eyes to see a lot of smoke. I close them again. I hear his light feet not making noise but the sound of his mussels moving gives me enough to know where he is. I do a back hand spring as his fist goes above where I was.slowly the fight speeds up. I'm dodging here and there.jab,jab,cross, hook uppercut, sweep,round kick. I keep moving. Eventually it's getting horsing so I decide to try countering. Mid round kick when he sends his foot to me. I duck under it and grab his other foot I pull it back and up with all my strength. It puts him off balance and he falls forward. I do a backflip and land over his head. I crouch and stop my fist before making contact."Do you yield?" He chuckles."no." He grabs my ankle. And pulls it fast. I twist mid air to catch myself. I push off the ground my feet going over my head. I land in a crouch. I run as fast as I can and as quiet as I can behind him. The smoke still clearing slightly. I see the boys and wave. They look confused and do a kinda half wave back. I close my eyes again. The sound of something slicing through the air disturbs me. It's moving fast...like really fast. I move a foot to the side. Sending my hand up fast. Catching it between my fingers. I hear 4 more coming for me. I start catching them. A second later more are coming. Soon I have about "one two three four five six." I have 10 I listen to where bruce is and throw with as much accuracy as I can. Catching right between his legs. When he moves to look down, I throw and two catch his pant legs. I creep forward. As his hand moves up and over to remove the leg, I throw and it catches his sleeve. The smoke is gone now. I hear him grunt. And Jason say,"oh shit." He looks at me and just walks forward, the things fall off and to the floor. Loud clinking rings out. I drop the ones in my hands my eyes open fast. I clap my hands to my ears..."owe." You see when all is quiet and you're listening really hard to the quiet, and then suddenly the quiet is loud...it leaves this really bag ringing and pain. I can't hear right now which is a major concern for me the other is the fist being sent at me. I imagine it's a bottle and move. My ears are ringing. My hands still over them. "I yield." I can barely hear myself. I have tears In my eyes. The ringing is just like when I would get hit upside the head...and the fist coming at me was a bit to much to not give me vivid memories. I keep my hands on my ears not wanting to let go in fear of the pain worsening. I close my eyes tight.I think it was worse than the first time this happened, at my old...house. Because it echoed in this place since it's a cave. I keep my hands there I feel my eyes watering, I could have just not focused in my hearing...but...my mind is running. I feel a wetness going down my cheeks. I think im crying. I feel so bad to be doing this in front of everyone. I keep taking steps I don't know where to...my mental map is incapable of reappearing. My mind is foggy from the headache I have now. I step back again, I feel a cool and damp thing like metal. I slide down. My eyes shut tight and my hands over my ears. "Ow...ow...ow..." I can hear myself again...that's good...the ringing is dying down. There's a hand on my knee. I don't open my eyes afraid...no particular reason...they probably all saw how I reacted to the noise they thought wasn't that loud. I hear other people talking but I can't make out what they are saying. I hear someone yell something, then I am pulled my the shoulder to a chest. The hand rubbing up and down my shoulder. I shift a bit. My face in the chest. "Ow...it hurts...ow...ow" I keep sniffling. The ring keeps dying down for the next couple of minutes. I finally open my eyes. I see Damian glaring at everyone as he holds me. I keep my hands to my ears while I make sure I won't be able to hear anything quiet in case something loud happens. I feel the tears still in my eyes. He looks down at me probably feeling my head shift off his chest. He knows I know sound language. We talked about how that's the only one I can really use. He pulls his hands up, and I lean away. He signs."your ears hurt." I nod. He waits for a second probably thinking," you stopped why ?" I nod partly. My head side to side and up and down."happen before." I nod. He sighs. In all this is the fifth time it's happened. I open my mouth,"this is the fifth time it's happened that I can recall." I whisper. He nods. "Can everyone stay quiet for the next few minutes"I whisper I look and everyone nods. I remove my hands the ringing gone but pain still prominent. "Thank you." Leaves my lips quiet and graceful. I go to stand up Damian sweeps me off my feet though. And one look tells me I can not fight him on this. His steps are really quiet. He takes me back up stairs and through the mansion. He takes me to my room, once he's set me down, he crouched in front of me. He looks in my eyes and starts to walk away. I jump off the bed and grab his hand,"stay." Is quiet and still auditable. And like that he stays with me.
