Another small part of my story, this time, Jason and Damian bonding.
- What do you want Jason? - after the last incident, Jason and Tim had been upgraded from Todd and Drake to Jason and Timothy. No one had expected that to ever happen, but it did, and everyone was happy over ir. Except Dick, who wasn't there and didn't know.
- We are training. - He said without looking, as he grabbed two swords. - You are going to be Batman, but you still fight too much like an Al Ghul. Especially with swords. Dad trained with them, but he has his own way of doing things. So we are going to train. And if you do well, Alfred is making cookies as a reward. - Jason knew he didn't need to offer a reward, Damian always wanted to train. But he wanted to, especially now that he was sad over Dick not being with them.
- Don't be stupid Jason, I always do well.
Even in his ever serious expression, Damian showed a small smile. They got into position and the training began. It wasn't like their usual training, as this one was filled with laughter and jokes and snide remarks. They were just two brothers hanging out in the only way they knew how. And Jason realized that yes, Dick's role in the family was a hard role to fill. But that afternoon they spent together Jason had felt something he never thought he was capable of. He felt proud of himself, of Damian, of their relationship and of their family. Yes, it was hard, but nothing had been as rewarding as this. He saw Damian having fun while training when he used to see him angry and sometimes scared. He saw his little brother evolve. And he was proud.
- Come on baby bat, let's go eat cookies. I saw My cat from hell was on, want to watch it with me?
- Only if Alfred the cat can come too. - Damian said unsure.
- Obviously. - Jason smiled, sometimes he forgot Damian was only eleven.
