summary: Wonder Woman’s daughter comes to earth for the first time and is expected to work with Damian during her time there, but both of them are immediately staring each other down with threat in their eyes
A/N: NEW SERIES! I’m actually so excited for this, already hints of angst, this is such a cool dynamic in my head. Will be a slower burn I think? I don’t know how long I’m making this series
This was certainly new. For all your life you had spent it in Themyscira. You trained and fought. Climbed up the pedestal made by the women before you.
Just like your mother, Diana.
Unfortunately you didn't actually get to see her too much. She worked hard on earth. Bringing security to the people there, giving them hope that everything would be okay.
When she'd come home for a few weeks she'd spend hours telling you about her adventures. When you were younger you'd cozy up next to each other, her soft voice luling you to sleep with tales of her time on earth.
She talked and talked and everytime you'd be right beside her, eyes shining in wonder and awe.
To you, your mother was the perfect role model. One that you had been training all your life to be just like.
Others in your home island may still question why she would want to stay on earth. Helping those people constantly instead of staying with her own.
Diana's want to make people safe and feel cared for never limited itself. If there were ever people who needed guidance or support, she'd be there as fast as she could.
Dependable, caring, resilient.
All of those words described your mother well.
Now, despite wanting to be like her, you still had your own edge.
You were a little more rough, you didn't give out warnings, dependable and resilient is what you tried to be but sometimes your emotions got the best of you.
Deep down you may have been caring but it was hidden by a layer of scepticism and paranoia.
So you were different, so what? That may be something you scold yourself for late at night when no one's there to watch your armour break.
But now? Now you were determined to be just like her.
Your mother had been packing back up, getting ready to leave back to the earth people when she brought it up.
"Would you like to come this time? I think you're ready."
The casual yet somewhat excited tone in her voice threw you off for a moment, taking a few seconds to grasp what she just asked.
Of course you were on board.
You'd raced out of her room, going to your own and started immediately packing. Diana showed up in the enterance of your room seconds later, leaning against the wood with a soft, proud smile.
And here you are now. The hall of Justice.
It was a beautifully expansive place. Huge windows, natural light shining through. Big statues and other displays that you could spend forever looking at.
You had spent a good while looking around the place before your mother brought up the fact that there was a meeting starting pretty soon.
Containing your excitement to help the Justice League and your mother, you followed her to the meeting room.
She nodded firmly. "Yes, I've told them plenty about you and how you'll be joining some of the younger hero's with their work."
You froze. No longer walking behind you. Her head turned over her shoulder when she heard the steps cease and then stopped herself.
"What do you mean younger hero's? I thought I was going to be working with you and your team?"
Diana's gaze turned gentle on you, her hands coming up to your shoulders.
"Daughter, you are a strong and extremely brave woman. You will do wonderful with the hero's your age. And this will give you a chance to meet some different people as well."
The furrow in your eyes brows didn't let up.
"No. This means you don't think I'm good enough o help you. Do you know how hard I've been working? I can easily fight by your side."
A sudden clearing of a throat had both your heads moving to the side.
When your mother told you about Superman you didn't expect the awkwardness he was exuding right now.
Hands clasped together, shoulders hunched a bit forward, eyes never making eye contact for too long until Diana started speaking.
"Sorry about that Clark."
"Oh no no, I didn't mean to intrude or anything. You must be Diana's daughter."
And with that the awkwardness was gone, a bright smile replacing it as he put his hand out to shake.
Reluctantly you took it, and though you were not small by any means, this guy was pretty huge. His hand almost covering yours completely.
You could probably still take him. You thought, eyes slightly narrowed.
Diana recognized the challenging gaze right away and pulled you away before you could challenge him to a duel or something.
"Alright we should head in."
He nodded kindly, completely oblivious, and walked in with you both.
The meeting room seems just a big as the others. A long table taking up most of the space with a presentation area set up in the back.
Clarks grin didn't drop as he greeted the two others in the room. One of them being the bat guy your mother spoke about. Apparently he was the brooding one yet cared deeply about others, though he wasn't very open emotionally according to her.
A slightly short, more toned frame stood next to him with a serious look on his face as he flipped through papers.
Judging by the symbol on his chest, this was Robin. You couldn't remember his actual name. Diana had spoken lots about the Robins and it only made it harder to keep track of them.
Your mother once again had her hands on your shoulders, this time pushing you forward to Clark and the Bat guy, his name was Bruce you were pretty sure but "bat guy" seemed to fit.
"Bruce, this is my daughter I was telling you about."
She already had a proud smile on her face. Watching as Bruce nodded slightly. Hand shakes were more of a Bruce Wayne business type thing, not so much Batman.
"I've heard lots about you. It's a pleasure to meet you. You'll be working with Damian a lot during your time here."
Bruce looked behind him where Robin was sitting, only now had he looked up when he heard his name.
Ah so this one was Damian. He was the youngest one of the former Robins, darker skin, striking green eyes that already seemed to be sizing you up.
You noticed the look in his eyes and gave him one back. If he wanted to challenge you then he'd get exactly.
Your parents each moved to you both. It was clear they had seen the looks and knew the actions that could have been started up.
Unlike earlier with Superman, this Robin kid didn't seem to have a problem squaring up to you, even had the guts to start first.
Diana and Bruce shared a look. Both of them were hoping that this was going to be a chance for you guys to become friends.
You were pretty similar in your headstrong ways but it seemed that that could be what turned you into enemies.
It wasn't long before the other members started trickling in. Each introducing themselves to you and then settling down into the meeting chairs.
The dynamics and personalities were pretty clear from the start. It was interesting to watch to say the least.
But as you kept you eyes moving around the room, one gaze was pretty consistent on you.
He definitely had a glare on him. One that made you blood boil, wanting to say something to confront him. In Themyscira threats were not taken lightly. If you had a problem with someone else then it would be confronted and dealt with.
But you knew just with the way your mother kept glancing at you, and the way she'd pulled you away from the other ones, it was not the same here.
You couldn't disappoint her.
The meeting came to an end eventually. You wish you could have paid more attention, if only that stupid little bird hadn't kept distracting you.
With Diana's permission, you were able to walk around the building while she spoke with the others about a few extra things.
You didn't complain, it gave you the much needed space you'd been silently begging for ever since Damian's presence began to make your skin inch.
Mindlessly wandering, you eventually stumbling upon statues. More specifically the beautifully detailed statues of your mother and her team.
She was crafted with such delicate hands, shown standing tall and proud in her Wonder Woman armour.
Never had she reminded you more of Athena.
Smart, strategic, absolutely incredible Athena.
Both two women that you admired so much were somehow in this one statue. A sudden heavy weight filled your chest. This is what you were supposed to continue. What you were born to do.
An abrupt voice came from behind you.
"You're not much like her are you?"
Your glare had immediately reappeared as you turned to him. The little Robin was back. His voice condescending, body language casual as if this was an every day conversation.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You clearly admire her. But I don't think you're like her. You're undoubtedly more impulsive and borderline aggressive from what I've noticed. Though you haven't acted on anything you seem the type to explode."
Your teeth clenched. Heavy steps moving closer to him.
"You know from what I've heard, you aren't much different."
The unmistakable flicker of sudden defiance in his eyes only confirmed your hunch.
Before much more could be done though, a hulking presence came from out of no where.
"Robin. We need to get going." The Bat certainly had a no nonsense voice.
Damian only gave you one last glare before walking off.
This was really the guy you'd have to be doing missions with?
