Nothing


Damian did not require a nickname; Ibn al Xu'ffasch, heir to the Demon, was above such inanities. Grayson and the other imbeciles Father had taken pity on had already assigned him several such ridiculous titles; he had no need or desire for any more, certainly not from the Batman. It was beneath the both of them.

Damian didn't require a nickname, "chum" or "sport" or . . . something similar, but he had to admit—only to himself—that the acknowledgment that came with it, the comfortable relationship it implied would have been . . . nice.

But he was the true son; words weren't necessary.


So I was randomly musing on the names the Batfamily call each other and was inspired to do a series of drabbles (drabbles being the goal of the month). This one was inspired by the thought that while Bruce has various nicknames for each of his three older sons, he only ever seems to call Damian "Damian."

Still reasonably new to this fandom and even newer to writing it. Hope you enjoyed!
