Stephanie Brown did not have a therapist. She had a pillow though and that was enough to get her through her grand tragic life. Because at 17 most girls would be thriving and going to parties. Stephanie Brown was actively screaming into her pillow after a very tragically lame patrol, attempting to not hate her life and everything apart of it. What annoyed her more was that Robin and Batman were so poised and balancing normal lives and vigilante life so well. She felt like she was hitting every branch on the way down. Until she finds herself hitting a low brick in Crime Alley where a certain red hooded figure lay waiting for gossip. /////OR////// Stephanie Brown is navigating her crazy life and along the way makes a gossip buddy with a certain crime Lord~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Got this idea because of @JustLaughGirl on TikTok! She gives such Stephanie Brown energy and I lover her so much! So Laugh Girl! This one is for you!!!

"All love is conditional" Damian says with dark eyes and a certainty that only reflected Bruce's own failure in himself. "Todd said it isn't but if that were true, you and Mother would love me without requiring me to change every day." Bruce felt his heart break as his own failure slapped him in the face. _________ Or! After Bruce says some hurtful things in anger, Damian runs away and Jason finds him and realizes the kid's twisted beliefs he's been forced to learn.

"Sometimes, it feels like you do not wish to concern yourself with me just because I am capable of being alone." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Grayson is gone for 7 months and Damian is alone to handle his distant Father and the family that seems to want to have nothing to do with him. Not that Damian cares. He doesn't. If anyone could find a way to care less than Damian they still wouldn't be able to beat the lack of care Damian held. Because he didn't care when he walked into his Father's study just to get dismissed a moment later. He didn't care that the only time Todd talked to him was to complain to Damian about what an ingrate he was. He definitely didn't care that Drake wasn't living at the manor anymore and said he's drop by but never does. No. Damian Wayne did not care that he would basically be completely and utterly alone for 7 months and would spend those seven months lying to Grayson about all the "hang outs" he was doing with the family to keep Grayson from worrying that Damian was alone. So he lied. "Todd took me on a ride on his motorcycle." "Drake came to my art show at school." "Father and I talk a lot on patrol." Anything to keep Grayson from worrying. The issue? Damian was starting to wish his lies actually came true. Because like it or not, Damian had never felt so forgotten in his life. It's a good thing he doesn't care.
