Bruce entered the dining roomto find Damian eating at a dish set before him. He made his way to the younger boy, sitting next to him. Silence fell over them until they move family asper something he had been wanting to ask.

"Why did you she could come?" Damian asked harsher than he meant to.

"First she didn't ask if she could come. I invited her and Billy. Alfred gave me the idea. Thalia is gone and we both know she was too late for the Lazarus Pit. If Kate is your comfort, I should get to know her better. You are my son, Damian." Bruce said. "She just said she asked so you wouldn't be upset with me, but with her. She hates seeing you upset."

Damian stared in front of him. "Yes. I know. When I stayed with her for that one month, she trained me. She's tough. But she's not brutal. I trust her. She knows who I am and who you are."

Bruce nodded. "So that's where you learned how to temporarily paralyze someone with a single that one kick." Bruce stated in realization.

Damian nodded his head. "Yes. I learned it from Kate. When we would go on patrols, she made sure the robbers and such would Forget me. So nothing would be suspicious around Gotham or Anchor City."

"do you think she'd want to come with us tonight?" Bruce asked his son.

For a moment about it. He knew Kate wouldn't it would be more than glad to help out with controls, but Anchor City had only half the crime population as Gotham did. If they were to split up they might be able to stop crime faster. "Er, maybe." Damian made a move to get to Kate and Billy's room.

Bruce stopped him. "No, I'll go do it. I need to become better quit it with Kate." Damian father said.

Bruce made its way through May we made it to Kate and Billy's room they had been placed in by Alfred. he knocked on the door and stood as Kate answering, Billy stood in the doorway dressed in a red T-shirt black, zip - up hoodie with blue jeans and black and white sneakers.

"Mr. Wayne!" Billy exclaim in quiet voice. "Sir, thank you for inviting Kate and me to stay with you."

Bruce chuckled wholeheartedly. "Please, Billy, call me Bruce. It's a pleasure to have the mighty Shazam staying at my home."

"But you're the Batman. I'm just that guy like Superman." Billy mumbled.

Bruce quirkiest an eyebrow at the nineteen - year - old hero. "What do you mean, Billy?"

"You're." Billy began, then sighed. "you're the dork night. You're a legend. I… I am just that guy like Superman." Billy's head group so he was staring at the floor beneath him, hands shoved in his pockets.

"Billy, I know you feel like your Superman's shadow. But you're a good, different person altogether. You're not just a bad copy. You have different abilities that make you just as great as Superman." Bruce's to the point for him.

"ironic." Billy mused with a chuckle.

Bruce cast him a strange look. "What is?" He inquired Billy.

He looked up at Bruce Wayne and replied, "That's exactly what Kate said."

At the mention of her name, Bruce was reminded why I can't come to their room. "where is Kate anyways?" Bruce asked Billy.

"she said she was going to the library." Billy explained. "He loves to read; it's one of her favorite things to do."

Bruce nodded. "I see."

Kate set at a wooden oak desk in the library of Wayne Manor. She had a book on I was open in front of her. The dragoness could hear the pattering on the windows in the big room. The only she could hear the peace will reign but she heard heavy footsteps on the carpet coming towards her.

"Kate." A deep voice addressed her.

The girl with blood red hair with her head around lay eyes on none other than Bruce Wayne. "Oh, Mr. Wayne, sorry, did you want me to leave?" Kate asked. Without waiting for the last plane to reply, Kate began to gather book together in her arms.

"No, no, Kate." Bruce began. "I just called to ask if you would like to acompany us on patrols."

Kate stared at him for a long moment. "you want to take me out on the trails with you and Damian?"

"Yes." Bruce replied simply.

" what about Billy?" Kate asked. "he would be upset with me. I can't if he doesn't."

"I understand your view, but we need to spend time together. Damian choose you. You excepted him as a son. I know his father. We have to at least try to spend time together. To trust one another." Bruce said.

"Like you trust him?" Kate spat.

Bruce's eyes narrowed. "I do trust him."

Kate narrowed her own black eyes. "You thought he killed someone."

"I know his background." Bruce told her harshly. "You don't."

The girl before and folded her arms across her chest. "I don't do I?" She asked him in a challenging way. He continued to glare down her. "Damian was raised by the League of Assassins, led by Ra's A Ghul. At the age of four, Damian was told to climb mountain as training. He broke his wrist continued on. It was required of him. At ten years old, he lost his role model, but he found a new. His mother died, and he's been living with you for about six months. His mother is Talia A Ghul, and she is the daughter of Ra's A Ghul. The two train Damien to seek vengeance on those whom he thought did wrong, but killing. But you, Bruce, have convinced him not to kill. For he heard your words in his mind when he confronted the Doll Maker. Instead a man dressed in an owl suit ripped the heart out of the victim." Kate stated plainly.

Bruce's scowl remained on his face. "Kate, I trust him to an extent." Bruce clarified.

Kate side and closed her eyes. Her long eye lashes curled perfectly and suddenly her eyes flew open. "May I borrow this book, Mr. Wayne?"

Bruce's show expression soften slightly. "Yes, Kate."

The Dragon this not it muttering, 'thank you, Mr. Wayne'. She made her way to the exit of the manor's library.

"Kate." Bruce called not turning to face her.

she stopped immediately; but did not make a move to turn and face him. "Yes, Mr. Wayne?" She asked somewhat coldly.

"At least think about the patrols offer. We leave at eleven o'clock." Said Bruce.

Kate made a motion to the door. She had her hand on the door handle and turn the doorhandle exit. "I'll take it under consideration." she said and left the room leaving Bruce standing alone in the large library.

Damian look at the clock it is room. Seeing that it was 10:47 PM, he assumed he should go get ready for patrols. Damian made his way down to the Batcave, through the grandfather clock. He pulled on his Robin uniform and ran down to the Batcave. When he had made his way down, he saw Bruce and Kate dressed in hero gear ready to go.

"Let's go. Damian?" Bruce asked.

Damien nodded and they took off. Bruce in the downhill, Kate flying in the air with Damian upon her back.

"No! Please! Don't hurt him!" Kate heard the cry if begging and pleading.

"C'mon, Robin, let's see what's wrong." Kate advised. She flew them down to the Crimora man once leaving on the ground, and one large guy held captive, while another study in front of her with a knife in her throat.

"Ready?" She asked. Her 'son' nodded, and they descended.

"Hey!" Damian barked at the guy with a knife clutched his hand. "Pick on someone your own size."

The man scoffed. "Like who? You?"

Kate and it silently behind the man making fun of Damian. She tapped his shoulder. "He meant me." She said, and with a smirk on her face, she punched him in the face knocking out a few teeth and breaking his nose. The other Goonan turn to Damian, they Kate.

"Please don't hurt me." The guy begged.

"Funny. That's what she was begging for." Damian said as he motioned to the woman and man. "You should treat others like you want to be treated."

And with that, he handcuffed and not him unconscious with his gloved fist.
