    Summary

    Slowly, Damian wiggles into a sitting position on his own, and scoots over to Stephanie’s side. She scans him over as he does the same to her, both looking for any obvious injuries. For the most part, they’re both fine. 

    Frightened and scared, but fine. 

    A third man- a thin, lanky, blond- steps into the room, pulling along another table. Steph has to crane her head to really see what’s on top of it, but as soon as she sees it, she pulls back, horrified. 

    Two, bright red branding irons sit on the gleaming metal surface.

    -

    In which, Steph and Damian are taken by an ex-League operative surgeon and his goons. The surgeon has plans to continue on with what Talia started in regards to Damian's metal spine, brands the duo in order to leave his mark, and gets his plans foiled by Stephanie's blatant awesomeness.

    Summary

    The TikTok account appeared on a rainy Thursday evening with a simple green icon and the bio “Keep up with the Bats”. It was one of hundreds of similar accounts, which usually did nothing more than show blurry pictures of vigilantes and tell dramatic stories in voice-over. There was nothing about it that stood out.
    Except for one thing.
    Oracle.
    AKA
    The Batkids bully Batman into letting them have a TikTok account. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

    Summary

    Damian was confused.
    Damian prided himself on not being confused very often; it was unbecoming of the Heir of the Demon to misunderstand anything. He trained incessantly, to remember everything he was supposed to do and when he was supposed to do it, and what he was supposed to know and how to use that knowledge. His knowledge had never truly failed him before.
    That is, it had never truly failed him in Nanda Parbat. Gotham, on the other hand, was a completely different monster, and Damian was… struggling.
    Not failing. Never failing. Failing was one thing that the Ibn al Xu’ffasch could not do. Struggling was embarrassing enough.

    But it had become increasingly clear over the last few days that Damian had misunderstood – no, he had been misinformed of – his place in his Father’s household.

    Summary

    Duke slowed mid-step, saring at the cluster of kids marching across the yard, led by a small child with a megaphone, “Uh. Guys? Do my eyes deceive me, or is that Damian leading a protest?”

    One of his friends squinted, “Is that an army of middle schoolers?”

    At which point, Damian decided to start a chant with his megaphone, enthusiastically joined by his group of middle schoolers, “LIBERTY OR DEATH! LIBERTY OR DEATH!”

    “Yeah,” Duke said, watching the group disappear out the gates, and wondering whether he should be texting a Code Red: Subsection 17D to the Bat-Chat. Or maybe this situation was more of a Subsection 31F? “That can’t be good.”

    OR:

    Five times Damian was banned from a school club, and the one time he found the perfect one for him.
