Guess who just found out about the spoilers for Batman Inc. #8?

No.

No.

I don't care about that. I don't. But you are not going to use it as an excuse to shuck me off to some cesspit.

I refuse.










You do know I know ways to kill you that are undetectable, correct?

[Damian would rather not talk about Talia. Funny, how when he was younger he thought he understood everything there was to understand about her. But the older he becomes, the more he realizes that, though she may care for him in a certain way, she isn't necessarily a good mother. And it hurts, because even knowing that she wants to kill him doesn't stop him from loving her. The emotions are illogical, and sometimes Damian just wants Mother and Father to hate each other less, maybe even get along again. But the idea that they can all live together as a family is now a distant thought. Damian has almost entirely given up on it. Almost. Which is one of the reasons this hurts so much. And that hurt, that vulnerability, is exactly why he doesn't want to talk about his mother anymore to Drake, of all people.]

[Instead of risking that vulnerability showing through, he crosses his arms and piles on the sarcasm.]

Great. I feel so much better.

I might be too busy with the Titans to help much, but can't say I won't be around.

(Batman and Red Robin #19, much to his amusement. But Tim knows what it's like not to talk about certain family members. And Damian can be grateful for one thing, as it was something he once had: his parents were still alive.)

You had better be, Drake. If not, I will find a way to haunt your every moment until you wish I had managed to kill you all those times I tried.
