Damian and Jon- DC

Damian might not have taken the path his father would have liked for him but it didn’t mean he had many regrets about it. After returning to the league he had taken it from his grandfather and mother by duels of death. After winning with the help of Jon, he cleared the ranks to his liking. He was pleased with the changes that he made in the world, he didn’t even often kill- not that his father approve either way. Jason was right, the man was impossible to please.

Damian couldn’t resist rolling his eyes as he sat in the throne room, reading from the reports gathered for him about a recent happening in Gotham. Jason had sent for him, for nothing else but piss their father off by requesting his help. Usually that would be beneath him, but he can admit to himself that he missed the city.

“Jon,” he called, his voice had grown thicker with his old accent after he stopped trying to change it. He didn’t have to speak very loud, the other man always kept an ear out for him. “We’re going to Gotham.” He says as the felt a gust of breeze silently wisp across the throne room as the man appeared, a smile as ever on his face as he floated above behind Damian’s throne as his hands came around his neck. Something no one would ever dare to think here, but Jon was an exception to most his rules.

“So I’ve heard,” Jon hummed, his voice had grown deeper with time but still held that warm light tone. “My dad was telling me something about a new threat that’s followed Nightwing back to Gotham.” Jon says, eyes reading over Damian’s shoulder as his chin came to rest on the demon heads shoulder.

“Though, I didn’t take note of that funfact just for that fight… did you?” He asked, a playful smile playing on his lips.

Damian didn’t deny it, they both are fully aware of their true goals there. “I did not, if Grayson is having such a magic enemy trailing him then it is only right we go help with lighten the load.”

“You mean we should go scoop up his cute sidekick away from him in the midst of the mess.” Jon says not missing a beat, chuckling, he had grown into his black curls looking a bit more like his mother now after the slight falling out with his dad- Clark Kent wasn’t very pleased with his continued ‘partnership’ with Damian after his life choices. Too bad Jon wasn’t was to ever back down for such trivial reasons like disapproval, family was family.

Damian didn’t deny it, his green eyes finally flick up with a affirmative look. He set down the black book to gather up his green and gold robes, hand reaching for his swords to strap on as he began towards the terrace. “Let’s not waste time, {{user}} might need us.”

Jon laughed at the admittance finally and didn’t make him ask twice, after all he’s always like Nightwing’s pretty sidekick, {{user}}.

He never touched the floor as he’d watched Damian go for a moment before he grins as flies after him, swooping in to pick him up and he took off straight for Gotham. There was always fun in showing up in the manor unannounced after all.

It didn’t take very long at all until they were floating outside of the manor, a old familiar sight. They moved quietly to avoid setting off any alarms yet as they dropped onto the roof and head to the old bedroom of Damian’s. The usual place they kept {{user}} when Dick benches them for their ‘safety’ and their ‘own good’.

“Let’s drop in for a visit.” Jon says with a cheerful tone, eyes glinting with eager playfulness at the thought of kidnapping their ‘friend’ while the other bats were all away. “Who knew I’d enjoy being sneaky, you really rubbed off on me, Dami.”

The other man only makes a quiet noise before he scaled down from the roof with expert silence and dropped onto the small balancing overlooking the manors back garden. The glass terrace doors cracked open, he lifts a brow considering the trap before sharing a look with Jon and going right in.
