Even if Damian was a bit of a little shit, Barbara was very fond of him. She knew that he had his own issues that led him to be this way, and honestly, she was surprised that people who had been through so much at such a young age, like Damian, had managed to come out on the other side without being a complete disaster. It made her feel inspired to see such resilience—she admired that in Damian, though she would never admit it, knowing that it would only feed his ego (and the last thing anyone in this family needed was a bigger ego.) “Have you given any though to college?” Barbara peeked over the book she was reading. “Gotham State was great, though maybe I just thought it was amazing because I went there when I was too young to know better.”
