Waynes POV-

Now in the relative privacy of the Wayne mansion, the five members that went to the gala quickly made their way out of the car in the Bat cave towards the living room, where the rest of the family should already waiting for them. 

Two out of the three Waynes were buzzing with anticipation to share all they had learned at what was supposed to be a boring event.

Thankfully, the rest of the family had gotten the memo to get back home early. The other Wayne children were waiting lazily on the couches, having returned safely from their mission, which had proved rather unfruitful in the end. 

Now back in their casual clothes, they looked more dejected than they had in the video call made during the ride back from Metropolis.

While their parents reviewed the mission logs down in the bat cave, the three boys settled down in the living room with the rest. While Dick and Tim said hi to everyone, even going as far as to hug some of their siblings for returning back safely, Damian had silently made his way to one of the cozy chairs in the room.

The whole ride back, Damian had refused to speak, only muttering nonsense and frowning the way Bruce did when he couldn't crack a case. Even now, the teen looked as if he might freeze the whole room with his pent up frustration. The fact that he wasn't yelling at or insulting any of them for their mission failure said enough. 

This WAS an emergency.

The ones who hadn't attended the gala were told very little, only that a 'family' meeting needed to be had, but they all quickly feared Damian had done something like loosing his temper at the event.

It was Stephanie that decided to do something about this familiar silence in the room. Hanging upside down on the couch, the blonde threw her black mask on the polished floor, its sound loud enough to gain everyone's attention, even the broody Damian.

"Anyone want to tell us what happened?" she asked, "Don't tell me the day finally came when Damian killed a reporter. I thought we were past that?"

Damian huffed in annoyance, especially when Dick and Tim began to try and conceal their laughter. 

The fact that he hadn't even replied with an insult spoke volumes about how upset the youngest must be. Even when his dog, Titus, ran into the room, Damian didn't pat his head affectionately, instead just let the large black dog lay at his feet.

That silence finally prompted Dick out of his silent laugher as he stood up on the coffee table, clearing his voice as if he were about to give a grand speech.
