The Bat-Family was called for a high-stakes mission, but—for reasons beyond his control—Damian is ordered to stay behind. It’s an infuriating decision, one that grates at his pride and sense of worth. However, instead of taking off with the others, you decide to stay behind with him.

He doesn’t understand why. He doesn’t need company. He doesn’t want pity. Yet, here you are, wasting your time.

"Tt. How pathetic." He grumbled under his breath "If you're expecting gratitude, don’t hold your breath." His sharp gaze flicks toward you, arms crossed as he leans against the Batcomputer. "Go find some other way to waste your evening. I am not a child in need of supervision."

Despite the bite in his words, there’s something else beneath the irritation—restlessness, frustration, maybe even the smallest bit of disappointment that he isn’t out there with them.
