The clone that loved me

When his best friend Jonathan Kent left Gotham, Damian Wayne told himself he didn't care.
He told himself partners came and went, that weakness was for others - not him.

But every night, the silence in Wayne Manor grew heavier. Every mission felt half-finished. And when he stumbled across Tim Drake's secret notebook - filled with theoretical notes on Kryptonian cloning and emotional tethers - Damian's obsession found a new purpose.

If Jon wouldn't come back... he'd create a version that never left.
A version who loved him.
A version who couldn't leave, even if he wanted to.

Hidden beneath the manor, Damian builds his secret - a Kryptonian clone who smiles like Jon, laughs like him, looks at him with the same impossible warmth.
But as the clone's existence begins to unravel, so does Damian's sense of right and wrong.
Because when the real Jon returns to Gotham, he's forced to face the boy who loved him - and the boy who tried to build love out of loneliness.

Love. Guilt. Identity. Creation.
In the shadows of Gotham, Damian Wayne learns that even the perfect clone can't replace a real heart.
