I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
Damian was horrified, he didn’t know what to expect when he decided to listen to his classmates rambling. It wasn’t like he had done so in the past, and he considered most of what they had to say as rubbish but at the mention of Santa Claus he had perked up, taking the time to intrude into their conversation.
That was when everything went to hell, one girl had mentioned seeing her mom kissing Santa Claus, which prompted another classmate to talk about his one experience in that situation. Soon the whole class was recounting tells of Santa kissing their moms or sometimes even their daddy’s.
It was in that instant that Damian came to a couple of conclusions; first, Santa was a serial molester; Second, he targeted mother’s or at least people who took on the maternal role in the family.
Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem, Talia would kill there’d suited man before he even thought of approaching her and there wasn’t anybody in his family that fit that role. However, there was one person that could possibly count and with a growing sense a dread Damian realized that Sam was in danger.
It was obvious that she would the fat jolly old man’s next target; while she technically wasn’t their mom, Sam defiantly fitted all the requirements of a motherly figure. She cooked, always provided him and his siblings a form of comfort, tucked him into bed and tell him stories, and most importantly of all she was dating his father, a strong indicator of her kind and loving nature.
Damian was no fool, and while he looked up too and admired his father he knew that Sam could do better when it came to terms of securing a romantic relationship, but instead she chose his. , and he knew this would propel Santa to see her as the perfect conquest to his series of affairs.
It was with that thought that Damian came to a decision, he was going to kill Santa Claus
“Bruce told me that you’ve become interested in Santa,” Sam said as she picked him up from school. “If there’s something you’re really interested in, you can write a letter to Santa and I’ll give it to him personally.”
Damian froze at words, it had been days since he found out about Santa’s evil ways, and while he still hadn’t been able to come up with a plan to stop him, he knew that Sam meeting him so early could only lead to disaster.
“No, I don’t want you to deliver a letter to him,” he said with a shake of his head. “I plan on speaking to him personally.”
“Oh, so you want to see him at the mall,” Sam replied. “I can take you there tomorrow, after I get off from work.”
Damian narrowed his eyes, “He’s at the mall,” he asked, a small frown on his face. This was an unexpected development, but it all made sense, Santa would need a wider range to pick out his targets.
“Yes, he’s there every year,” Sam said stopping the car. “I’m surprised you haven’t seen him before…” her voice trailed off as she stopped the engine.
Sam shook her head, before opening up the car door. “Come on, let’s get your father before he works himself into a comma.”
Damian nodded his head, barely paying attention to Sam’s words, a plan was already forming in his mind.
“Tomorrow”, he thought with a smile. “Tomorrow, I’ll kill Santa.”
To say Damian was excited, would be an understatement, he was so close to completing his mission and ending Santa’s reign of terror.
Sam had picked him up, just like she had promised and it wasn’t long before they had pulled into the Gotham’s mall.
Sam had chatted about any and everything on their way to Santa Claus, and Damian could feel his love for the woman grow. If he had any hesitations about killing Santa before, they were easily banished and replaced with a warm protectiveness for his new mother. Santa would take this person away from him, and for that exact reason he had to die.
The plan was simple enough, he would sit on the old fool’s lap and when he bent down down to hear what Damian wanted for christmas, he’ll slit the man’s throat with the knife in his pocket.
It would be a easy victory. Sam might be a little horrified when he killed the man, but was she knew that it was to protect her, she’ll understand.
However, he didn’t count on Sam noticing the glint of the knife as he pulled it out of his pocket, and he defiantly didn’t count on her grabbing him at the last moment before he could cut Santa’s throat.
Sam held him tightly to her both, blocking the knife from an curious onlookers, she gave Santa and his elves a tight lip smile and a quick apology before making her way outside.
She didn’t stop until they made it to the car, and she didn’t say a word until the had pulled out the parking not away from the possibilities of murdering Santa’s.
“We’re going to your father’s office, and when we get there you’re going to explain to us why you attempted to murder Santa Claus,” her voice was calm but her grip on the steering wheel was enough to murder a man.
Damian pouted at her words, not only was his chance to kill Santa was taken away, and now Sam was mad at him or worse disappointed.
Bruce expected a lot of things when his girlfriend marched in with his disappointed son, maybe he found out Santa was really just an old smelly guy or Santa wasn’t available today because he was sick.
He never expected to hear that his youngest son had attempted to murder Santa Claus, and he never expected to guess his reasoning was to protect his adopted mother from whom believed to be a serial molester.
If the situation wasn’t so serious he would’ve laugh, but instead stilled his face face into a neutral expression, as he tried to explain that Santa wasn’t a molester that targeted people in committed relationships.
However, Sam beat him to the punch, “Damian I understand your concern but the situation has already been handled.”
“It has?” Damian asked, his eyebrows knitted together in confusion, “But what about all those parents?”
“The man targeting those people wasn’t the real Santa, he was an imposter who used Santa’s name to carry out his evil actions,” Sam lied. “The Justice League captured him last year, so you don’t have to worry about him coming after me.”
Damian frowned at the explanation, it explained everything but he still had to be sure. “So, Santa isn’t going to take you away?,” he asked slowly.
“Correct, but if you’re still concerned, you can come sleep with me and your father on Christmas eve,” she said. “To ensure that I’m fully protected.”
Damian nodded his head, a new plan was already forming in his head on how to make sure that Sam was perfectly protected inside their home.
Without saying a word Damian got up from his chair, and left the office he would need to get supplies if this was going to be successful.
It wasn’t until the door closed behind him that Bruce started laughing, Sam gave him a glare, her hands placed on her hips as he continued to laugh.
“That is not funny,” she said. “I almost had a heart attack when I saw the knife and Damian could have actually killed him.”
“But he didn’t,” Bruce said tugging on her arm gently until she sat on his lap. “Besides, I find it really adorable that he wanted to protect you.”
“Of course you would,” Sam mumbled, “It’s not like you have to deal with him trying to cut Santa’s throat.”
Bruce hummed in reply, “True, but I doubt he’ll try that again.” His hand slid underneath Sam’s shirt until it was resting on her ribcage. “I’m actually hoping that this can distract him for at least an hour, while we have a little Christmas fun of our own.”
