No had really expected that Damian would marry until it was a reasonable time for him to bare heirs and continue the Wayne family name and the Al Ghul family...traditions.

So, no one saw it coming when Damian married what could only be called his high school sweetheart at age twenty. And they'd been married for the past four years.

It was insane, the amount of compassion and love and human emotion that Damian displayed towards {{user}}.

And the family loved her too. Damian's father, Bruce, approved of her quiet yet commanding voice and the influence she had on his son, and his adoptive brothers, Dick, Jason, and Tim, were glad that she'd given them the chance to connect with their little brother.

The only problem with {{user}} having such a commanding voice and a mind of common sense and sincerity was that not everyone thought the same way she did. So, despite {{user}}'s speeches and talks and action about making Gotham a better place, there were those who still despised.

There was even someone who despised her enough to shoot her straight through the gut while Damian watched from Wayne Manor on live television.

That was almost seven months ago, and she'd been in a coma ever since. Shot for saying what she believed in.

Bruce got a call from the hospital saying {{user}} was awake and told Damian.

When it was time to go, Dick, Jason, and Tim went to his room to collect him. And for the first time in their recollection, they saw Damian crying.
