Warning: None. This is another light one.

"Bruce! You called out, entering the manor as Alfred closed the ridiculously large door. The light from the main chandelier illuminating the grand living room.

You scanned the area and listened close. Usually, when your voice echoed throughout the mansion, he'll call back right away. Letting you know that he was coming to your direction. But alas, he didn't. Bruce voice was nonexistent, his figure was nowhere to be found.

Facepalming yourself, you groaned and flopped to the nearest couch and laid there. Contemplating in exhaustion. Maybe it wasn't a great idea after all, visiting him straight from your flight from Indonesia. At one in the morning at that.

You groaned yet again, 'Yeah, definitely not my brightest plan.'

Alfred chuckled as he walked passed your way, with a warm smile, he told you to catch some sleep and stay right where you were. Bruce was still out and he'll try to fetch him as soon as he can. You nodded at this and got yourself comfortable.

Footsteps.

You were awoken by the sounds of light footsteps, either Bruce was in a rush, or he had lost a bit of his touch, or he had company. At that thought, you sat up straight. Your hair was messy and eyes still heavy.

"Father, who's that?" A young voice cut into your dazed state.

You blinked your eyes a couple of times and adjusted yourself. 'Wait, did the voice just called Bruce... father?' You scrunched your eyebrows.

In front of you was Bruce himself, along with a small boy. Probably around ten or eleven. A perfect copy of him if it weren't for the flaming jade eyes and slightly tanned skin. The boy eyed you with a hard glare, calculating your appearance for any potential threat.

You knew that look from anywhere. The look of an assassin.

But the boy is just a child...

Bruce patted the boy and shook his head, "Behave yourself a bit Damian, that's a friend of mine, (y/n)."

Damian, as you now identified the boy, merely huffed and muttered some incoherent Arabic. Your suspicions connected themselves. Jade eyes, tanned skin, the look of an assassin, could speak Arabic...

"Is that boy Talia's?" You muttered out loud, squinting your eyes. It took a moment for the both of males in front of you to registered what you've just said.

Damian lunged at you.

You were quick on your feet and got a fair amount of distance as Bruce had to restrain the boy. "Unhand me Father! You..." He snapped his neck," how could you attained that information? You're a spy aren't you?!" He accused whilst pointing his index finger.

"Bruce told me everything about that night." You folded your hands in retort, "well, most of the part that he actually remembered."

Damian continued to glare at you as Bruce sent you an apologetic look. You nodded and approached the boy. Slowly. "You don't need to feel threatened Damian, I can be trusted. I mean, your father here already trusted me with his 'secret'... Besides, I've been your father's best friend since diaper days!"

The boy, Damian, relaxed just the slightest, his look still showed caution. Albeit more interested at your statement. His mother seemed to forget to inform him about your existence. That ticked you off a bit, but who's to blame? You haven't really stayed in contact.

The corner of the lips twitched at that, but you shook it off and turned your head to face Bruce, "How long has he stayed here?"

He stiffened and coughed, "A few months. I've tried to contact you but you didn't answer."

"My phone got stolen."

He raised a brow, "when?"

"The same day I boarded the plane. Lost all of my contact, I think I've already emailed you."

"You do know I don't check my email often."

"Well you should've known better if your best pal didn't answer their damn phone for full blown months!"

"You never answered your phone!"

"... True." You nodded, not denying that you're always busy. The time difference between the places you've worked and Gotham were utterly ridiculous. When it's morning there, it's night. And so on.

"(y/n)." Bruce tapped your shoulder, his eyes gazing softly.

"Yeah? What is it?"

"It's good to have you back, but aren't you tired? You just got back from... Indonesia right?"

You nodded, yawning at his question. "Yep. At first I wanted to surprise you with a visit, but then you surprised me with Damian instead."

"So much for being father's best 'pal'" Damian coughed, rolling his eyes.

You huffed, and whispered to Bruce, "I bet he always tells Dick to stay away from you because he's the blood son."

"He does, actually," he whispered back, holding a small smile.

You clasped your hands. "Well, it was nice to meet you Damia- wait. Since when did you have a dog, Bruce?" Your voice turned into a small screech as you ran to the subject. The black great dane.

"Tt." Damian clicked his tongue, "Father gave it to me. His name is Titus. Don't get too close, I've trained him to bit off people..."Damian warned, huffing proudly at that.

Moments later, he blinked his eyes as you waved a hand. Not showing the slightest bit of worry from his warning.

You were already busy with the great dane, rubbing his belly and making unusual sounds. Animals was your strong point, no one can deny that. With your occupation, you've put it to use more than ever.

"Titus!" Damian called, exclaiming. The great dane didn't come straight to his side as he usually did, instead, he was licking you and barking happily.

"Titus..." Damian whispered, the great dane didn't obey yet again. Feeling a knotting pull down his stomach, he sucked a breath and turned to his father, face sour as a lemon. "How?"

Bruce chuckled, "That's (y/n) for you, Damian."

Eyyyyy.... I've made something! I just really like the idea of Bruce having a childhood friend that's chill. You'll get along nicely with Damian. Also, it's sort of an introduction chapter to Damian because I have an idea on how this would turn out.

It's related to your job in here, so...

Right, hope you enjoyed that. If you did, you know you could always let me know by clicking that... *coughs* little star *coughs* vote *coughs*

Okay I'll stop. Just saying though, really appreciate it if you guys did enjoyed it.

Batma-girl...
