CATastrophe

A pun brought me to making this.

Damian: 7
Dick: 15
Bruce:30

"Shhhhhh," Damian said, putting a finger to his lips as he walked through the front door. He closed the door as quietly as he could and ran up the stairs, down the hall and into his room.

Once in his room, Damian opened up his large winter jacket. Out came 4 little kittens. Damian sat on his knees. "Alright! Keith, Lilian, Bartholomew, and Katherine," he said pointing to each of them as he said their names. "You all have to be quiet, father can't find out about you."

As if on cue, there was a knock on the door. "Daammiii, I haven't seen you all daayyy." Dick said through the door in a happy/whiny tone. "Go away Grayson, i'm busy!" "What could a 7 year old possibly be busy with?" "None of your business!" "Well I'm coming in anyways! I haven't gotten a single hug from you!"

Damian quickly got up to lock his door. He wasn't an idiot, he knew Dick could get in either way but it at least gave him some time. Damian picked up the four kittens and brought them over to his closet and quickly, but gently, put them inside and closed the door.

Just in time, since Dick just broke the lock on his door. "Grayson! That's the fourth lock this week!" Dick just shrugged and ran over to Damian and picked him up in a hug. "Must you do this everyday?" "Yes." Was all Dick said back.

Then there was a soft meow. Damian winced.

"Damian?"
"Yeah?"
"Is it just me, or did I just hear a meow?"
"It's just you."
"Are you sure?"
"Pretty sure."
"Uh..huh, alright, so you wouldn't mind if I opened your closet?"
"I would mind! It's my closet not yours!"
"That's what someone with something to hide says."
"No it's n—"
Damian was cut off by Dick putting him on the floor. Damian ran in front of the closet before Dick could open it. "Dami! Move! What are you hiding that could be so bad?" Dick gently pushed Damian away from the door and opened it. Dicks eyes widened.

"Don't tell father!"
"Don't tell me what?"
Both Dick and Damian looked over to see Bruce standing in the doorway with his arms crossed.

"Well, uh, Damian..ruined his new shoes..and he didn't want to, uh, tell you." Dick said trying to defend Damian. He never was a good liar. Bruce looked at Damian. "So what really happened?" Damian hesitated to answer, but it didn't really matter, it was answered for him.

The kittens walked out of the closet and made a circle around Damian. "Damian.." Bruce growled. "They were in an alleyway with no food and no water! They don't have a mother to take care of them! Can we PLEASE keep them!" Bruce just pinched the bridge of his nose and walked over to Damian, kneeling down to his height. "Damian, we can't keep four kittens. They can stay for tonight but tomorrow you have to take them to the pet store. Bruce said in a calm tone. "But—" Damian was cut off by Bruce putting a finger to his lip. "My decision is final." Bruce stood up and walked out of the room.

Dick looked at Damian. "Hey, sorry Dami, I can see how much you love those cats." "Whatever, Grayson." Damian said, picking up the cats and leaving the room.

~~~Time Skip to next day~~~

"Damian, I'm going to work, those cats better be out of this house when I come back." Bruce said as he left the breakfast table. Soon there was the sound of the front door closing. Damian was hoping he could convince Bruce to let him keep his cats, but to no prevail.

All the cats were sitting near Damian's chair as he ate his breakfast. Dick had noticed that they always followed him around. Maybe they imprinted on him, Dick thought. In all honesty, Dick felt bad for Damian. He wanted him to keep these cats but Bruce had other plans apparently.

Damian stood up from his chair and went to go get his coat on. "Taking them back?" Dick asked. "I might as well." Damian said, almost sad. Damian put all the cats in his coat like he did the other day and left.

When Damian got outside though, he didn't go the direction to leave, he went the direction of his bedroom window. The night before he threw a rope over so he could climb up easily without having to worry about the cats falling. He climbed up the rope and quickly got into his nice, warm room. "Now, you must stay here for the rest of the day." Damian said to the cats, who just stared at him.

~~~Another time skip~~~

Dick, Damian, and Bruce were all eating dinner. "Did you take the cats to pet store, Damian?" "Yes, father." It was all quiet. No one spoke a word. That was until everyone heard rustling coming from upstairs. Not soon after, Damian's 4 kittens came running down the stairs, but they weren't the only ones. About 7 more kittens were trailing behind them.

Damian looked as shocked as everyone else. Bruce turned to glare at him. "I have no idea where the other 7 came from." He said, trying to defend himself. "I told you to get rid of them Damian." Bruce said. "I know, I know, but I couldn't." Damian replied, in a sad tone. Bruce groaned, "come on, we need to catch them." They all got up from the table and began their chase.

Damian caught Keith and Lillian, Dick caught Bartholomew, and Bruce caught Katherine and an unknown cat that Damian was now calling Hannah. "Damian stop naming the cats, we're going to take them back when we get them all." Bruce said, clearly annoyed. So far they still needed to catch Fernando, Kelly, Jasmine, George, Brayden, and Claire.

Damian went to go check the bathrooms. There he found Claire and George. Dick went to go check the kitchen. There he found Fernando eating icecream. "Hey I was gunna eat that later!"

Bruce went to go check the bedrooms. He found Kelly in Damian's room and Jasmin in his own room.

"We finally got them all." Dick said relieved. "Damian, you should've listened to me in the first place." Bruce said glaring at Damian. "I know.."

"Father?" Damian asked. "What is it Damian."

"Can we keep them."
