The Family of Bats (DRABBLES)

Manor Walls

"Blast those damn things!" Damian growled under his breath, limping with his leg in a cast.

His clothes where completely soaked to the bone and a few of them now spotted fresh rips in them.

"What's 'those damn things!'?" Jason asked, seemingly popping out of nowhere.

Damian just huffed and continued walking down the corridor to his room in the Manor.

"Or just keep walking!" Jason yelled at Damian's back.

He'd get through those things tomorrow.

He had to!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Damian huffed once more, trying to walk on his cast again.

"Dami! You have to stop! You're going to hurt yourself!" Richard fussed, scooping Damian up and started to walk to him his bedroom.

"Put me down you imbecile!" Damian yelled, lightly punching Dick in the shoulders.

"The only imbecile here is you because you're trying to walk on your foot! It's broken! You can't keep walking around on it!" Richard frowned.

"I must finish the mission I started two nights ago! I have been out of commission for too long already! I have to finish my investigation!" Damian scowled.

"Dami, the only thing you have to do here is rest up and heal. And the bad guys will be waiting for you when you're FULLY healed." Dick gently placed Damian on his bed.

"But Grayson-" Damian started.

"No buts! The next time I find you walking around with your broken leg, I won't be afraid to tie you to the bed and watch you 24/7 until you recover!" Richard stated and shut the door.

Damian yelled in frustration.

"Way to get his panties in a bunch!" Jason laughed, coming into the room.

"I swear Todd if you came to laugh at my mistake, I will end you NOW!" Damian's hand started to reach under his pillow for the sword his grandfather gave him.

"Me laugh at you who just happens to have a broken leg? Never!" Jason forged innocence, "but it all makes sense now. You were trying to sneak out past the security system last night, right?" Jason smirked.

Damian just grumbled, neither denying nor confirming the obvious.

"Tell you what, I'll help you out. Let good-old big brother Jason teach you the ins-and-outs of the security system." Jason flashed a smile.

"And what's in it for you?" Damian glared at him.

"Well, if you get caught, I get some entertainment for tonight and I get Batman off my back. Running a clean drug trade is a bit difficult with Dickie all up in my warehouses." Jason shrugged.

"And how do I know you won't sabotage me? Lie to me?" Damian tried to interrogate.

"You don't know. But we both know how bored out of your mind you are. We both know you're going to try it anyways." Jason said, "And anyways, would you really be an Al-Ghul if you couldn't slip past a measly security system?"

Damian growled, "I don't need your help with it anyways!"

"Yeah, sure kid. Just remember when you go tonight, there's four cameras on that wall. The only blind spot is that big tree by the wall." Jason smirked.

"Tt! I already knew that!" Damian risked, but stored the information in his head for tonight's escape plan."

"Yep. You're welcome, Demon!" Jason laughed as he walked out of Damian's room.

Damian just glared at his retreating back.
~~~~~~~~~~~

Damian huffed, pulling his cloak closer to him.

Why does Gotham have to rain 24/7?

He pulled himself up another branch on the tree Jason talked about.

Now all he had to do was make one last running jump to get on the wall and finally past the security system.

He was finally going to escape Jail Wayne Manor!

Just as Damian was about to jump off the branch, his cast, slick from the rain, made him slip just slightly.

But it was enough for the security system to notice him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

"And then we have the whole collection of Disney movies to watch! And then the movies they just came out with about Aunt Diana!" Richard smiled, cuddling Damian in bed an hour later.

Damian was now clothed in clean, warm pajamas with a towel wrapped around his head.

"I don't want to watch any movies! I want to go out and finish this case!" Damian growled as Richard placed a heated blanket on top of Damian, as if three weren't enough to keep him warm.

"I don't care. You're gonna stay here and rest and heal. That's final!" Dick frowned.

Damian threw his head back into his pillow and yelled in frustration.

He could have sworn he heard Jason's laugh through the storm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

A day later, when Richard went to grab breakfast for them from Alfred, Damian found a note wrapped around his sword's sheath.

It read, "Thanks for the distraction and entertainment. I figured your torture was great enough. The security code is JX13L. Have fun ;)"

Damian smirked, maybe a few night's torture was worth this reward.
