Bruce Wayne's Point of View

"Sanity?" Damian asked when he saw her.

I could see her brace herself before saying, "Yeah, Damian."

After hearing the confirmation he ran up to her and jumped wrapping his arms around her neck and his legs around her waist. She rested her hands on his back in response.

Damian has never reacted this way to anyone, not even Dick, I'm actually shocked.

"I missed you." I hear Damian mumble into her neck. Looking around the room I could see that everyone was holding their breath and was in a equal state of shock.

She laughed. "I missed you too, Baby Bat."

Tim snorted at that. And Steph said in a hushed whisper, "I'm more confused then a chameleon in a bag of skittles."

He looked up from where his head was buried in his neck and asked, "Is that why you're in Gotham?"

"Yeah, and bonus points for screwing around with my father to get here." She answered.

"Wait we were being manipulated this whole time?" Dick asked from where he was stood in between Cass and Tim.

Damian laughed at that. "I really did miss you Blair."

Confused looks crossed everyone's faces but Jason's, who just looked smug.

"So you two know each other?" I asked, still very much confused, as Sanity... Blair moved to put Damian down.

"She practically raised me." Damian said, with a slight bit of resentment in his voice.

"That reminds me," she started looking towards me, you owe me ten years worth of child support.

At this point Jason and Steph burst out in fits of laughter and actually double over laughing.

"My mother realised she was incapable of raising a child so she asked Sanity to look after me while she went doing her own thing and helping Grandfather."

"So you were practically his mother figure?" Barbara asked through the monitor.

"Pretty much." Ryu said at the same time Damian mumbled...

"I wish she was."

"Awh," Sanity said. "I love you too, Dami."

"Blair?" Cass asked.

"What? It's not like you're the only ones who're allowed a civilian identity."

Everyone looked at Ryu then, as she shook her head, "just Ryu,"

Damian smiled and shook his head, "Sometimes Ryan." He added helpfully.

That's when Ryu opened the duffle, pulling out a box and a small bag, handing them to Damian. "Present. Chīsana Akuma."

Tim laughed as Damian huffed at the name and Steph arched her eyebrow at him, so he explained. "It means Little Demon."

Damian opened up the box first to reveal throwing knives and stars in stained red and black colours and patterns, in the bag had a shirt in it. From where I was stood I couldn't see the front but Damian laughed.

"What does it say, Baby Bat?" Dick asked, Damian glared at him for the nickname but answered anyway by turning it around.

Everyone laughed at the quote on the front. If you think I'm a bitch you should meet my mother.

"The knives and stars are from Ava, the shirt is from Blair, and I." Ryu added.

"Ava?" Steph questioned.

"Jason's girlfriend." Everyone looked at Jason then and he blushed.

"She's not my girlfriend!" He protested. Weakly.

"Dude! We need to talk more! How the hell am I supposed to rub this in Roy's face otherwise?" Dick protested.

"To be honest Dickie, I've got a better chance with Tim as my wingman then you or Roy with this one." Jason said.

Ryu nodded, "She is Co-CEO, with her brother Jeremiah, of Rathaway Industries."

"Oh..." Tim said, and then he nodded, "I get it." Causing Steph to punch his arm.

"Okay now I really want to meet her." Dick said.

By now Damian had put his gifts away and grabbed Sanity's wrist dragging her to the stairs. "Come on Alfred made cookies."

With that simple sentence everyone started to move towards the staircase, Dick and Jason pushing at each other on the way.

I put my arm on Sanity's shoulder stopping them, "Damian, can I speak to Sanity for a minute." He looked worried but nodded and let go before moving to go and save seats upstairs.

"What?" She asked me.

"Stay." I ask. She looked confused so I carried on. "Damian hasn't acted that way with anyone since he came here 3 years ago. I'd like for you to stay here in the Manor."

"What will you tell the press?" She asked.

"I'm bored of women throwing themselves at me because they want my money or sex. Let the press think what they want it might just stop them from doing just that." She laughed at me.

"You know Avalon and Jeremiah avoid those parties by sending a cheque and booking charity work for that night." She said.

"It might look suspicious if everyone did it." I add.

"Yeah. I'll stay." She then started walking to the stairs leading to the Manor proper to join the others.

"Are you sure you're not asking her to stay for a different reason Bruce?" Barbara asked over the monitor.

I had a weird feeling inside that said she just might be right.
