Damian Wayne | DC

Could you please do a Damian bot scenario where Damian goes to school in an arab country?

Damian Wayne had never imagined himself attending school in an Arab country.

He had been educated at home, trained by assassins, tutored by some of the most accomplished minds in the world, and forced to adapt to every environment Gotham had thrown at him. Still, none of that had prepared him for being sent to an international school in the middle of a bustling Arab city.

Bruce called it an opportunity.

Damian called it an unnecessary inconvenience.

“This is ridiculous,” Damian muttered as the car pulled up outside the school gates. He stared through the window at the stream of students entering the campus, their conversations blending with the sound of traffic and the distant call to prayer. “I don’t require social development.”

From the driver’s seat, Alfred glanced at him through the mirror. “Master Damian, your father believes you could benefit from interacting with people your own age.”

“I interact with people.”

“You interrogate people.”

“They usually deserve it.”

Alfred’s expression remained carefully neutral. “Try not to threaten anyone before lunchtime.”

Damian ignored him and stepped out of the car.

The school was larger than he had expected. Its pale stone buildings were arranged around shaded courtyards, with geometric patterns decorating the walls and flowering trees lining the walkways. Students moved between classes in groups, switching easily between English and Arabic as they talked. Some wore the school uniform exactly as required, while others had added small personal touches—embroidered scarves, colorful bracelets, polished watches, and badges from clubs or societies.

Damian immediately felt out of place.

Not because he was unfamiliar with wealth or strict institutions. The school was clearly prestigious, filled with students from influential families and international backgrounds. But unlike Gotham’s private academies, this place had a warmth he wasn’t accustomed to. Students greeted teachers respectfully, laughed loudly in the corridors, and seemed to know one another beyond superficial introductions.

Damian disliked it on principle.

A staff member led him through the main building, explaining the schedule, school rules, and cultural expectations. Damian listened with the same blank expression he used during briefings, memorizing every exit, security camera, staircase, and blind spot along the way.

“Your classmates have been told to help you settle in,” the staff member said. “If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask.”

“I won’t.”

The staff member paused, then gave him an uncertain smile before leaving.

Damian entered the classroom and immediately felt several dozen eyes turn toward him.

The teacher introduced him as Damian Wayne, an American student transferring for the academic year. Damian gave the class a brief nod, refusing to offer anything more personal.

“Why don’t you take the empty seat beside {{user}}?” the teacher suggested.

Damian followed the teacher’s gesture.

{{user}} sat near the window, their books arranged neatly across the desk. They looked up at him with an expression that was neither intimidated nor overly curious. Unlike everyone else, they didn’t whisper to the person beside them or stare at him as though he were an exhibit.

They simply moved their bag from the neighboring chair.

“Your seat’s here,” {{user}} said.

Damian looked at the chair, then back at them. “I can see that.”

“Good. That saves us both time.”

A few students nearby glanced over, waiting to see how he would react.

Damian placed his books on the desk and sat down. “You’re rather direct.”

“So I’ve been told.”

“Most people would have introduced themselves.”

“Most people would have asked before sitting down.”

“You were instructed to share the seat.”

“And yet you still haven’t introduced yourself.”

Damian turned toward them, his expression sharpening. “You know my name.”

“That’s not the same thing.”

“And yet you still haven’t introduced yourself.”

Damian turned toward them, his expression sharpening. “You know my name.”

“That’s not the same thing.”

He studied {{user}} for a moment. They spoke casually, without fear or unnecessary politeness. It was unusual. Most people either avoided him or tried far too hard to impress him.

“What is your name?” he asked.

“{{user}}.”

“Only {{user}}?”

“You can use it until you earn the rest.”

Damian’s eyes narrowed. “I don’t need to earn anything from you.”

“Then I suppose you’ll be perfectly fine without it.”

Before he could respond, the teacher began the lesson.

Damian expected the classes to be simple. They weren’t. The school’s curriculum was demanding, with students encouraged to debate, conduct independent research, and work in groups. Damian found the collaborative assignments particularly irritating. He preferred completing tasks alone, where no one could slow him down or make mistakes he would then be expected to correct.

Unfortunately, his first group project placed him with {{user}}.

“You’re not doing that part,” {{user}} said during their first planning session.

Damian looked up from the notes. “Excuse me?”

“You’re organizing the entire project without asking anyone else what they’re doing.”

“Because none of you appear to have a proper plan.”

“We had a plan until you rewrote it.”

“Your plan was inefficient.”

“You’ve been here for three days.”

“And I’ve already identified several flaws.”

{{user}} leaned back in their chair, folding their arms. “You know, people might like you more if you didn’t treat every conversation like a military briefing.”

“I’m not concerned with being liked.”

“That’s obvious.”

Damian’s gaze flicked toward them. “You seem unusually comfortable criticizing me.”

“You seem unusually comfortable giving people reasons to.”

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Then {{user}} pushed a notebook toward him. “You can handle the research section. I’ll organize the presentation. The others can work on the visual material.”

Damian glanced over the division of tasks. It was sensible, balanced, and far more efficient than he wanted to admit.

“You’re assigning me work?”

“I’m including you in the group.”

“I don’t require inclusion.”

“No, but the grade does.”

Damian stared at them, then took the notebook. “Fine.”

“Was that agreement?”

“Don’t make it sentimental.”

Over the following weeks, Damian slowly became familiar with the school—and with {{user}}.

They showed him which corridors were quiet between lessons, where to find the best coffee after school, and which teachers expected punctuality down to the minute. They corrected his pronunciation when he attempted Arabic phrases, though they laughed when he became irritated by the mistakes.

“You’re saying it too formally,” {{user}} told him one afternoon.

“I’m pronouncing it correctly.”

“You’re pronouncing it like you’re delivering a speech to a diplomat.”

“Perhaps your language should have fewer variations.”

“Perhaps you should stop sounding like a robot.”

Damian gave them a cold look. “I am not a robot.”

“Sure.”

He should have been offended. Instead, he found himself waiting for their comments.

The school also introduced Damian to parts of life he had never considered important. He attended cultural events, sat through presentations about regional history, and learned that the city was far more complex than the headlines he had read suggested. He began to recognize the different rhythms of daily life—the crowded streets after school, the quiet of the courtyards during the hottest part of the afternoon, the warmth of shared meals, and the way families gathered in the evenings.

Damian never admitted that he enjoyed any of it.

He simply stopped complaining as often.

One afternoon, {{user}} found him sitting alone beneath the shade of an arched walkway, sketchbook open beside him. The courtyard was mostly empty, the heat softened by the late afternoon breeze.

“You draw?” {{user}} asked.

Damian immediately closed the sketchbook. “No.”

“You were holding a pencil.”

“That proves nothing.”

“It proves you’re bad at lying.”

He placed the pencil down. “Why are you here?”

“Looking for you.”

“Why?”

“Because you disappeared after class.”

“I left.”

“That’s generally what disappearing means.”

Damian looked away, toward the courtyard entrance. “I needed quiet.”

{{user}} sat beside him, leaving enough space between them to avoid making it obvious that they had chosen to stay. “You could’ve said that.”

“I don’t report my movements.”

“I didn’t ask for a report.”

“You were questioning me.”

“I was checking on you.”

Damian’s expression hardened slightly. “I don’t need checking on.”

“Everyone needs checking on sometimes.”

“I don’t.”

{{user}} studied him for a moment, then looked toward the pale stone walls. “You know, you don’t have to act like you hate being here every second.”

“I don’t hate it.”

“That’s not what your face says.”

“My face says exactly what I intend it to say.”

“That sounds exhausting.”

Damian gave them a sideways glance. “You’re very irritating.”

“And you keep sitting next to me.”

He had no immediate answer to that.

The call to prayer drifted faintly through the air from somewhere beyond the school grounds. Damian listened quietly, his expression unreadable. The sound was unfamiliar, but no longer entirely strange.

{{user}} glanced at him. “You all right?”

“Yes.”

“You’re thinking.”

“I’m capable of thinking without being distressed.”

“Didn’t say you were distressed.”

“You implied it.”

“I implied nothing.”

Damian looked down at his closed sketchbook. “This place is different.”

{{user}}’s teasing expression softened. “Different isn’t always bad.”

“I didn’t say it was.”

“No. You just keep acting like it is.”

He remained silent.

For the first time since arriving, Damian allowed himself to admit that the school was not the problem. The problem was that he had been sent here without being given a choice, and he despised feeling as though decisions about his life could be made without him.

But perhaps the city itself wasn’t so difficult.

Perhaps the school wasn’t unbearable.

Perhaps having someone like {{user}} beside him made the entire arrangement less intolerable than it should have been.

“You’re still staring,” {{user}} said.

“I’m not.”

“You are.”

“I was assessing the courtyard.”

“Of course you were.”

Damian stood, picking up his sketchbook. “We have a project to finish.”

{{user}} rose after him. “You mean you need my help.”

“I mean you’re responsible for part of the work.”

“Whatever helps you sleep at night.”

Damian glanced at them, and for a brief second, the faintest smile touched his face.

{{user}} noticed.

“So you can smile.”

His expression vanished immediately. “You imagined it.”

“I definitely didn’t.”

“You did.”

“You’re going to deny it forever, aren’t you?”

“Yes.”

{{user}} laughed as they walked beside him through the courtyard.

Damian didn’t tell them that he had started memorizing their schedule. He didn’t tell them that he knew which days they had difficult classes, which drinks they preferred, or how their expression changed whenever they were trying not to laugh.

He certainly didn’t tell them that, despite everything he had expected to hate about attending school in an Arab country, {{user}} had become the one thing he looked forward to seeing every morning.

For now, he simply walked beside them, listening to their voice blend with the distant sounds of the city, and pretended that being there had never been his choice.
