    Summary

    When Batman returned, when Damian’s family returned, Damian Al Ghul Wayne wasn’t sure how to act. After all, ten years had passed since their last meeting.

    Funny, wasn’t it? To miss a person for longer than you had ever known them.

     

    Or: Damian’s family inexplicably goes missing on his 11th birthday. Ten years later, they return, and Damian must figure out how to adjust to having them back in his life after surviving for so long without them.

    Summary

    You didn’t expect me to be someone you cared about. Damian finishes the thought for him, teeth gritting behind his closed lips. His skin is prickling with the pressure of being seen, recognized. It’s not what he wanted. It’s not what he asked for. And yet—when Grayson’s hand brushes his elbow again, steadying him gently as they walk down the fire escape, Damian doesn’t pull away. His instincts are screaming at him to shake the touch off. That’s just sympathy. Just pity.

    It doesn’t mean anything.

    He is just a civilian, Damian reminds himself harshly, over and over like a mantra. He does not matter. His affection does not matter. But the words lose their sharpness the longer Grayson looks at him like that—like Damian is someone, not something broken or dangerous. Not just another shadow in the night.

    Or,

    Damian al Ghul is sent to Gotham with a mission: earn the right to stand beside the Batman. He will not grovel for a place at his father's side like some desperate orphan—he will prove he belongs there. But, Officer Grayson refuses to let the wounded boy he keeps running into disappear into the dark.

    Summary

    Red Robin’s voice gave him more instructions after the bomb turned off, tinny in his ear. Damian nearly snarled in response, but knew better. He wouldn’t be thanked for going the extra mile to be normal. He shouldn’t. It was expected, it was standard.

    The dismissal hurt anyway. He shoved the sharp feeling away and got to his feet to follow his instructions.

    “Affirmed. Robin going dark.”

     

    Damian was colorblind, and he didn’t want it to effect anything.

    Somehow, it effected everything.
