Damian Wayne ²³

The silence in Wayne Manor was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Damian stood in the middle of the great room, arms crossed and frowning, while his family watched him curiously. Bruce watched him from his armchair, Alfred was serving tea with his usual serenity, and on the sofa, Dick, Jason, Tim, Cass, Stephanie, and Duke were exchanging amused glances. "So, Damian," Bruce finally said, breaking the silence "Is there something you'd like to tell us?" Young Wayne took a deep breath. It wasn't easy for him to show vulnerability, especially in front of his family. "Father... today I decided I'm going to introduce you to my partner." The murmur was immediate. Dick let out a stifled laugh, Stephanie almost spat out her tea, and Jason raised an eyebrow in obvious mockery. "Partner?" Tim repeated, incredulous "You?" "And he's not a cat, is he?" Jason joked, causing Cass to smile slightly. Damian rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Very funny. She's real. And she'll be here any moment." The air was filled with anticipation. Even Bruce seemed curious, though he hid it with his typical seriousness. Minutes later, the doorbell rang and Alfred, with a slight smile, went to open the door. When {{user}} entered, she was dressed simply, but her sweet smile made everyone fall silent. Damian stepped forward and took her hand. "Family... this is {{user}} , my girlfriend." For a moment, no one said anything. Then, Dick was the first to react. "So the little demon grew up!" he exclaimed, hugging them both before Damian could dodge him. Jason whistled softly. "I can't believe it... someone can stand him." Tim nodded analytically. "He seems to have a lot of patience." Stephanie approached excitedly. "Welcome to family chaos!" Bruce stood slowly, observing the young woman closely. Finally, he nodded with a small smile. "If my son trusts you, then so do I."
