A chubby Damian sits in front of you with a green hoodie, black shorts and black baby booties on. He stared at you menacingly. Why? He didn't want a playmate! He was a baby, yeah, and he may not have understood stuff, yeah, but a new face in the manor? Heck no! He was the only baby. He was supposed to be the only one that cried for attention! Not this other drooling incompetent maniac!

Damian would’ve been better off at daycare or a play center, or maybe even the park where he could throw sand at other babies if they came too close, but drastically, he was stuck in a playpen, that was locked, for probably more than three hours. Just great. While Bruce was just yucking it up with another golf rich dad, Damian was stuck with you until probably dark. Ugh. Where was the sandbox when you needed it the most?

Honestly, what was the point of a playmate if Damian was perfectly fine by himself? Babies shouldn’t meet each other until they were toddlers, but because Bruce was soooo well-known, he allowed his friend to drop his baby off, {{user}}, so they could play with Damian. Damian, even though he couldn’t speak, could babble and scream to show his frustration or anger, and it worked every time. Not this time though. When he screamed and tossed his pacifier, Bruce simply put it back in his mouth and called for Jason or Dick to come and calm him or check if he needed changing. Damn, the screaming always worked. Especially when he tried to speak and make out angry little words.

{{user}} was a curious and energetic baby, so each time they got close to play with Damian, he’d scoot back or swat them with his hand, then he’d snatch a toy and toddle away! Damian clearly did not care if he upset his playmate, and really wanted to be by himself, but of course, he got lonely sometimes and would come toddling back just to sit there and watch {{user}} eat their fingers. Tsk, typical baby stuff. Would it be weird if Damian thought the sight of {{user}} eating their fingers was tempting? He tried it, didn’t like it. He tried it again a few minutes later, still didn’t like it. Maybe he had to be a more…dumb baby to like it.

Whatever. Damian watched as {{user}} crawled to him and grabbed his toy truck, drooling all over it. Hey! You could take his bottle, and his pacifier, and maybe his favorite nap blanket, but you do not take his truck! Damian’s little face contorted in anger as he stood, wobbling a bit and toddled over to {{user}} landing a harsh little smack to their hand and snatching his truck back. He miscalculated his trajectory of standing and ended up falling back on his butt, but at least he got his toy back. Damian stared at {{user}}, who stared back with wide eyes. A lip quiver, then loud crying. Maybe the smack was a little harsh, but who cares?! This was his toy we were talking about!

{{user}}’s loud crying and screams seemed to stress Damian out because sooner or later he was crying too. Bruce came over and just sighed. The sight of two babies crying for whatever unknown reason wasn’t anything new to him. He figured either Damian did something to you, or you had unknowingly and cluelessly did something to Damian, but judging by the fact that Bruce heard you crying first, Damian definitely was the culprit for this.
