Innocent Demon…
It was pure dumb luck. Raven walked in as Kaldur and Zachary practicing their magic, and Damian sharpening his sword. There was a shout and then a bang, Raven spun just as the spells collided where Damian was sitting, the boy looked up, his green eyes going wide. Raven tried to throw up a shield but it hit him and instead she reached her magic out to pull him out of the way of his own weapon. The smoke cleared and Raven braced herself on her knees as she gasped for breath after being hit full force.
"Is everyone alright?" she panted as she looked at Kaldur and Zachary. Kaldur carefully sat up then.
"I think so," Kaldur gasped as he rubbed his ribs.
"Yeah," Zachary groaned.
"Good. Damian?" Raven turned to look at the boy, and blinked twice as she found herself staring at a year old green eyed, olive skinned, black haired baby standing in Damian's t-shirt.
"Oh shit," Raven muttered as she walked over to the baby. "Damian?"
The baby tilted his head as he stared at her with wide innocent green eyes.
"Fawq!" the boy stated.
"Um…"
"Fawq!" the boy repeated as he grabbed her leg.
"Whoa!" Raven gasped as the boy started climbing up her.
"Everyone alright!?" Jason and Dick appeared then, Raven caught the boy before he fell off her as he applied a strangle gasp.
"Sort of," Raven answered as she now tried to loosen the baby's death grip on her shirt.
"Little bird, I know I'm new here, but… why are you holding a baby?" he asked.
"Where's Damian?" Dick asked.
"Well, about the sorta part… Damian's a baby," Raven gestured to the little monster nearly strangling her as he stared at his brothers. Jason stared at the kid and Raven just sighed in exasperation; why was it always her with the kids? It wasn't like she was a kid person!
"Damian loosen up!" Raven gasped.
"La!" the boy screamed.
"Damian!" Raven started.
"La! La! La! La!" the boy started scream.
"Oi! Shut up!" Jason shouted at the baby who turned to glare at him.
"Don't yell at him, he's a baby!" Dick scolded.
"'ahmar," the boy pointed at him.
"I needed to," Jason snapped.
"Why!? And what the hell is he saying?" Raven asked as she found herself trying to pry him off her again, he was choking her with her own t-shirt collar.
"He's speaking Arabic, 'la' is 'no'." Jason stated.
"Tayir," the boy patted her cheek.
"Translation?" Raven asked as she finally loosened his death grip on her shirt.
"Bird."
"'ahmar, 'azraq," the boy pointed to Jason and Dick then.
"Translation?" Dick asked.
"Red, blue," Jason answered.
"Well, then you're in charge of the baby, you speak his language," Raven tried to pull Damian off her, the baby screamed.
"Alssamt!" Jason snapped and the boy was quiet. Then Jason grabbed the baby. "'iitalaq sarah."
The baby released her and glared at Jason.
"How do you…?" Dick started.
"Talia speaks Arabic, I'm guessing that it's his native language," Jason said. He moved to hand Damian off to Dick when Damian screamed bloody murder.
"Alssamt!" Jason repeated as he gave up and propped the kid up on his hip. "Dickhead go buy diapers and baby supplies, I got a feeling I'm babysitting; again," Jason sighed.
"How do you do that?" Dick muttered.
"Any idea how to reverse this?" Jason demanded.
"I have a library full," Raven answered as she started to leave.
"TAYIR!" the boy screamed and she winced as she spun on the boy.
"HADY!" Jason shouted and Damian was quiet, big fat tears rolling down his eyes.
"I guess I'm going with you," Jason muttered.
"Sorry," Zachary shouted.
"It's alright Zachary," Raven shouted over her shoulder. Jason was in step with her, Damian was playing with her braid making her feel like a dog on a leash. But so long as Damian wasn't screaming she was alright with him holding her hair.
"So how do you know Arabic?" Raven asked.
"Well, that's simple," Jason mused.
"Care to tell?"
"I have the gift of tongues," Jason shrugged.
"Ah,"
"'ahmar," Damian muttered.
"Yeah, yeah," Jason muttered.
"Red?" Raven asked again.
"Yeah, I'm guessing I'm 'ahmar until we fix this," Jason grumbled.
"What, don't like being Red?" Raven mused.
"Not at all, so long as you don't mind tayir," he said.
"I don't." she walked into her room, Jason walked in after her then.
"So… you can fix this right?" Jason asked.
"La!" Damian shouted.
"I know you can't so shut up, I'm talking to little bird."
"La!"
"How are you so cute and so infuriating!?" Jason growled at the baby. Raven glanced over at them and saw Damian and Jason glaring at one another.
"TAYIR!" Damian screamed.
"Of for the love of Azar!" Raven grabbed Damian and Jason relinquished him immediately.
"What are you looking for!?" Jason demanded.
"Pull out every look for books with this rune," Raven said as she put Damian on the bed and she grabbed a towel from her bathroom as she made Damian a diaper for the moment. The boy was munching on his fist as he waved his legs.
"He likes you little bird," Jason stated.
"Shut up and find the book! I don't know what to do with a baby," Raven said as she was bouncing Damian on her hip and the boy was giggling.
"Well I don't know anything about so we're both stuck," Jason pointed out. Raven sighed.
This wasn't going to be fun. This was going to be a long day. How was it that of all the troubling Bats, she had to get stuck with baby Damian? The boy was smiling as he munched on her braid.
"Tayir," the boy patted her cheek.
"Nem, Nem, tayir saghir jiddaan," Jason answered.
"Alkhass bi!" the boy shouted.
"La!" Jason snapped.
The boy screamed, Raven winced.
"ENGLISH!" she shouted at them.
"La!" the boys shouted.
"Red find the damn books!" Raven ordered.
