[ His father's words still ring in his ears. Nagging. Aggravating. Lies.
"She made you for this purpose."
And his father believes them, wholly, because of some ridiculous fever dream. Believes that Damian would--
"When you die, you'll take every living thing down with you."
--he wouldn't. He won't. It's preposterous, and more, it's insulting. He is, was, the only one of his kind, and what would his father or his mother know about what he can do? Nothing, that's what. Damian knows himself best, and he's fast and recovers quickly and his Oblivion Wing move is magnificent and unique and his, but he would never--
"You're staying in the Cave until we decide how to handle this best."
As if. No sooner had Bruce declared him under lock-down than he'd escaped, took to the skies (a tiny, strange bird with a red underbelly and a grey back and claws on its wings, not a Pokemon you'd ever see again in your life). Blüdhaven is maybe a half hour's flight away, and Grayson's apartment easy to find, even if he'd only ever visited by car. He dives down, alights upon the window ledge, and whacks insistently at it with a wing, claws leaving scratches in the glass. ]
Grayson!
