Hard of hearing Damian wayne

He will never admit it to anyone, so he never tells the batfam. Back in the league this was used against him, as punishments, they will take his hearing away. He always hated how small, how unsafe it felt. He will never allow himself to be put in that situation.

The batfam end up finding in one of 2 ways:

During patrol, one of the following happens:

Damian gets cornered during , and assuming it's comes, one of the henchmen statch it up. Damian panicks and flings himself at the closest batsib, begging to take him home (patrol ended early that day, and a few (lot) of people were sent to Gotham hospital with atleats 3 broken bones.)

Or during patrol and... EMP pulse is send put which disables everyhting including his aids, he freaks out and runs to hide in the closest shadow he can find. Que the whole family frantically looking for him all over. Until, it's Tim that finds him, hands covering his ears, face buried into his knees, and face covered with tears.

He violently flinches when he touches him and starts screaming. Until he notices it's tim, then damian all but launches himself at him. Tim has never felt like an older brother before that moment, holding his baby brother who's so small! And crying! And clinging to him!

After:

Damian: *dager to tim* if u dare tell anyone

Tim: sigh I thought you were cute for a second there

2. With an attitude.

Bruce is being his strict self and everyone is standing around after patrol. Things get heated, emotions are high, and dick is about to step in when...

Dick: hey bruce-

DAMIAN: I DONT WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU ANYMORE ,

*snatch out hearing aids and throwing them at Bruce with all his strength befire turning away*

Bruce catching them: Damian you can't just throw your comms- huh? *looks at the "comms"

Tim walking closer: are those hearing aids?

Bruce: Damian? DAMIAN??

Extras:

Because he is hard of hearing/ deaf he has a problem with noise levels. He does not mean to scream but he just talks super loud so he can feel/hear the vibrations of his voice better. It doens't help that he sounds angry when he does it 😭

And everyone is mean about it 🤧

Talia occasionally visits to check on him and that they are working, after all it's league technology. See everyhtijg is fine, see if he needs anything. When they are alone, she signs as they speak.

He subconsciously signs some words here and there but always pretends to perform a hand gesture whenever he notices himself doing it. Before they found out atleast.

He uses it to cuss out tim secretly during arguments, dinners, galas especially, throwing a sign here and there (and those rich imbecile as well, if he'd suffer through this situation let him atelast have this)

Those that didn't know sign language, quickly rushed to learn it.

Because now that they know he just turns off his hearing when he doesn't want to listen to them and as siblings they still gotta argue with him damit. (But they also luv their bawby bwother uwu)

Also damian taught ASL by Talia because it's easily done one handed. Which is useful on missions.

For a while after his hearing difficulty discovery whenever Bruce is cross with him about patrol, he would use the "is it because im deaf", then puppy dog eyes and slump his shoulder, that's all it takes for a minimum of 5 batsiblings to jump out of the shadows and nag Bruce about being ablism and being nice to the baby. (While damian is smirk-ahem- crying into his sleeve... he's fully taking advantage)

After the discovery he now has "quite says" when he is over whelmed.

Jon and dami:

He does the "im so done imma toss my hearing aids at you cz i don't want to listen to ur nonsense" thing with Jon too.

Jon: stumbling to catch it: - whattt???

Damian: humph *pout

Jon: YOU CANT JUST TURN OFF YOUR EARS WHEN THINGS DONT GO YOUR WAY

The first thing Jon learned in sign language is "I'm taller". Damian flexes om him often by switching to full conversation in sign and doing so fast and Jon gets lost. He's a slow learner but he tries hard to learn sign to empress his best friend (eventually they have signing competition of who can do faster once Jon gets more proficient) ofc everything got to be a competition with these two.

Also Jon voice is annoying and high pitched to him, and hard to hear with his aids, so it took him a while to warm up to him. (That's why he was so opposed to their so called friendship at the start)

He's the baby of the family 🥹

One thing about people who never cry (from experience)

Is that once u do it, and you feel like it OK, it's like the dam is open and you begin crying ALL the time.

I can imagine little Damian stop resisting the sting that comes with suppressing ur emotions and just letting the tears roll, letting his voice whimper when upset, and letting out little sniffles.

Finally the family can realise things that actually hurt him (or his feelings). Damian is not the type to cry over physical pain, he will however make it everyones probelm if his little feelings got hurt. Hes got sugh a delicate heart on the inside behind his rough exterior.

For example when they are joking around and they call him mean names. He is not used to this, and he thinks they genuinely mean it (one he's never been aorund other children or jokes much before). Imagine during a family dinner Jason, tim and damian are bickering, then Jason and tim team up to tease him, and damian.... he just goes quite for a second... then ... hiccup, sniffles.... they look at him jist to see him holding back tears before he bolts out of there. Jason and tim: no no no no, damian? DAMIAN?

Bruce Who Damian just ran to, now holding Damian hand and marching in: Ur grounded

Damian stealthily following Dick around, when Dick suddenly turns and accidently elbows him in the forehead

Damian, standing frozen, clutching his forehead with both hands: sniffles, pout, whimper

Dick *snatching up the child*: gasp, im so sorry baby i didnt see you there. nooo, the babyyyyyy

Damian: *starts bawling*

He gives him ice cream and carefully rubbing his head and blowing on it. And damian... he is smirking between sniffles and spoonfuls of ice cream.

So my Batfamily brain rot is back (not that it ever really left) and I just had a thought like…

If you’re a henchman/criminal in Gotham, seeing your life flash past your eyes is gonna be a somewhat regular occurance but… what if like… the thing that truly made a henchman’s heart fall to his ass was when they hit Robin just a little too hard and this 10 year old kid just starts crying and goes ‘Daaaaaadddd!’

That’s the moment when they truly think they’re going to die because said dad, the kid is calling for is a 6’6 demon from hell who’s all muscle and shadows and vengance and a lot of Gotham still thinks he’s a cryptid

The henchmen all drop their guns and try to calm the kid down but it’s over in 5 seconds flat. Batman breaks several bones before speaking to Robin in the softest voice they’ve ever heard him use and the criminal world, who was already a bit hesitant to fight a kid have even more reason to take it just a little easy on Robin.

And like, I can picture different reactions with every Robin.

Like, for Dick, he’s ten and we all know he was the most violent Robin second only to Damian so maybe when he’s ten or eleven and has calmed down a little, a henchback who still remembers what a little shit he used to be decides to get back at Robin, slips on a pair of brass knuckles and BAM

And then, little Dick just stares for a moment in shock, cheek already starting to bruise, the criminals he’d been fighting all stay still because it was a nasty punch and then…

“Daaaaad!!!” He cries out in a whiny voice that reminds them that Robin really is just a kid and it all clicks into place.

Even Bruce wasn’t expecting that, Dick has just started calling him dad and he still isn’t used to being called that so to hear his kid calling for him in the moment where he is startled and hurt and a little scared… the henchmen don’t even have time to react and they wake up in the hospital with concussions and maybe a few broken bones.

It doesn’t take Dick long to calm down, it was mostly that the hit from a random henchmen really startled him and got him right in the cheekbone. But Bruce still finishes patrol early and Dick still hides under Bruce’s cape all the way to the Batmobile.

Then comes Jason and Jason was such a sweet kid, I headcannon he was the one that called Bruce dad the most often while being Robin. So one night during patrol maybe he finds himself fighting Penguin or Two-Face and it’s been a long night and he has an exam the following day and Bruce is fighting another villain at the other side of the warehouse

The point is, the henchmen and Two-Face start landing hits on eleven year old Jason in his gut and at some point he loses sight of Batman fighting on the other side of the room. Jason gets scared because he’s never really fought without Batman and while he knows that Bruce is still in the warehouse, he can’t see him and the handle of a gun hits the back of his ankle and he falls and he sees Two-Face or Penguin or one of the henchmen getting ready to grab the front of his uniform and beat him up and…

“Daaaaddd!”

The criminals freeze for a moment. They’ve heard the stories of what happened the last time a Robin called scared for dad.

They’re fucked.

They all drop their guns and try to get Jason to calm down, but he’s crying just a little bit and calls again, his voice breaking and despite having been at the other side of the warehouse just a second ago, Bruce somehow drops from the ceiling and it’s over before the criminals can keep pleading with Robin to calm down.

Jason tries to apologize for ‘acting like a baby’ but Bruce is having none of it and carries him back to the Batmobile and Jason is happy to just hide his face in Bruce’s cape because he knows his dad will always be there to save him.

Then comes Tim.

And Tim gets found out while doing reconnisance and somehow he finds himself face to face with Bane who manages to wrench away his bo staff and Tim is just eleven and he is scared because Bane doesn’t look like he’s going to hold back

All Tim knows is that the crack he hears must surely be his ribs either cracking or breaking and he can’t breath and he can only muster enough air for a single word… and he calls for his dad through tears and fear

And at this point… at this point Batman has already lost a Robin, Tim may not be his legally but he is his son just as much as Jason was

Bane spends a month in the ICU

Tim is embarrased that he reacted like that. He thinks it makes him less of a Robin to called scared for Batman… for dad.

So Bruce tells him of the other two times it happened. It’s one of the first times he’s spoken about Jason to Tim so bluntly.

Then comes Stephanie.

Stephanie never calls Bruce dad when she’s Robin. She’s not his daughter and he’s not her dad. They’re not sure what exactly they are to one another.

As far as Bruce knows, Stephanie’s version of Robin never called out to him when she was scared.

What he doesn’t know is that it did happen. Just once

It was the last time she was Robin. When Black Mask had her and she thought she was going to die

At some point while bleeding and feeling nauseous and so scared she could barely hear anything that wasn’t her own heart beating wildly against her chest… she called for dad. Not for Arthur Brown, but for Bruce

Black Mask laughed at her

Stephanie never tells Bruce

And finally… Damian

Now, we know Damian would probably never be startled enough to call for Bruce out of instinct, so I can see 2 scenarios in which this could happen.

First, he sees another kid do it. He sees a kid close to his own age laughing and playing, then tripping and staying quiet for a split second before crying out for mom and dad and he just… assumes that’s something kids do when scared and hurt and startled and does it mostly in an attempt to be a little more ‘normal’

Or, my favorite scenario… he hears of the other times it has happened. He overhears maybe Dick remind Jason of what Bruce did when Jason called out to dad as Robin. Tim maybe jokes that a Robin calling for dad is still the villains’ greatest fear

So Damian stores that knowledge away as a battle strategy just in case he ever needs it… and maybe a small part of him wants to put it to the test, to see if his father would protect him as brutally as he’s protected the Robins before him

So some random night during patrol, he’s up against several henchmen, a few of them grab him from behind, trying to hold him down. Damian is fighting against them when one of them swings a cylinder of metal that Damian thinks might’ve been meant for the plumbing and…

The henchman breaks Damian’s nose, there’s blood dripping down his chin and staining his uniform

Now… it is most certainly not the first time he’s broken something, he’s more than used to the pain, in fact, he barely feels it. However, it gives him a chance to put his little theory to the test

And so Damian allows himself to sound like the ten year old that he is and in a whiny, teary voice, goes… “Babaaaaa!” (Bonus points if it’s the first or second time he’s called Bruce baba instead of father)

What Damian didn’t take into account though, is that Batman and Robin aren’t the only ones on patrol that night. They made a big bust. The biggest part of the operation was over but they were still fighting a few stragglers. The whole fucking family is here.

And they all hear his cry.

Damian doesn’t think he’s ever seen a fight end so quickly. The henchmen only have a split-second of surprise before vanishing, being tackled or shot or having knives buried on their shoulders by his siblings.

The one that actually broke Damian’s nose is being beaten up by Nightwing, Damian doesn’t think he’s ever seen Grayson so angry.

A shadow kneels in front of him, father. Baba. He’s checking Damian and Todd is right at his side, both speaking in hushed tones, checking his injuries and wiping the tears that usually came with a broken nose.

And now… Damian is used to his father and Grayson treating him like a child, trying to be as soft as they can with him. Even Cain does it to some extent.

But… having Drake wrap an arm around him, calling him baby when knocking out one of the criminals that had hurt him ‘that’s my fucking baby brother!’ and continue to hold him later into the night on the couch, having Brown willingly give up all the snacks she keeps in her utility belt and promise to take him to Batburger the following day for milkshakes because he was ‘a champ’. And Thomas wraps his favorite blanket around Damian while they’re fixing him up.

Todd decides to stay the night at the manor. Which he never does. They all decide to spend the night at the manor when Damian still sniffles on the Batmobile and they have breakfast all of them together. Which Damian isn’t sure has ever happened before and Cain gets Alfred to make pancakes with chocolate chips instead of blueberries.

They call him baby in hushed whispers but for once, it doesn’t bother him even though it really should

But most of all, Bruce refuses to let him go for a good five minutes after he first cries for him. Smoothing down his hair and whispering that it’ll be okay and just being soft in a way Damian has never seen before.

He sleeps between his Baba and Grayson and he knows that Todd and Drake and Cain check in on them at least twice in the night for some reason.

And he realizes it’s… it’s nice. Maybe this really could be an effective battle strategy to be employed again someday.

Just thinking of Bruce confiscating damians weapons when he gets to the manor.

Don't you think he may have accidently taken somehting he shouldn't?

Like imagine telling damian to give him everything on him. He slowly takes out every secret weapon, every well concealed knife.. except one thing. Bruce levels him with a glare. And damian glares back. Until eventually he "tt"s and carefully takes out a hidden dagger, and gently place it in Bruce's hands, just for Bruce to toss in the weapon pile and walk away.

Little did he know that was his emotional support dagger. That he had since he was a child. That he never goes anywhere without. That he hugs to sleep everyday. That he nicknamed Harpe because it helps keep the monsters away.

Later:

Damian hiding in the closet and crying in silence, whispering: give that back, it was a goft from my mother

Bruce, feeling good about himself: ahh weapons are too dangerous

#some kids have plushies or balnkets #damian has a knife #hes not like other girls #he was heartbroken when he saw bruce jist toss it aside #what about his daggers feelings?#baby damian wayne #damian wayne #batfam #bruce wayne

Damian sounding so serious and formla in English.

That's because his English came from a textbook lol.

In arabic he sounds like a child and speaks like one lol.

This bilingual experience where u just did not learn about normal conversations. You do not know how people talk. And talia probably had him reading some fancy old litrature from the last century instead of a storybook (cz that's what they have around in the league).

Native Arabic speakers especially are like awww baby. Whenever he opens his mouth.

Because although he is surrounded by English speakers and thus able to evolve... he cannot speak Arabic to anyone aorund. Meaning his abilities are stuck at his 9 year old self if not getting worse.

*Dmaina Wayne speaks english*

Batfam: someone left their Victorian child here

*Damian Wayne speaks arabic* *mispronouce most words*

Someone: aww he's so cute *pinches his cheek*

Batfam: where

It's like the illusion is shattered

This

Losing my mind but the prospect of Damian being so otherworldly beautiful and thriving at the face of catastrophe is so tragic to me idk why.

Like oouuughhhhh little boy how does it feel to look like the moon and the stars before you implode and your stardust gave birth to a new constellation???

Like baby boy my baby why are you the sole hope for humanity to exist and the key for peace and co-existence?? Little Damian did you know that your hands are the gentlest in the future where that would cost you?

How are you the embodiment of horror and all that is bad yet the symbolism of love itself?

Why are you in hell and looking up to heaven while cradling creatures of the fiery pits? What do you mean you found a companion in the shape of something you don't even know while laying in the midst of bloodshed of your own doing??

You are cruel yet so, so kind. You look at something so grotesque and decide to cradle its face with tenderness and care. You look at something so unlovable and decide to love it first.

Damian al-Ghul Wayne why are you so tragically beautiful when you're not supposed to?

Talia *breaking into the batcave at 2 am*: DAMIAN BRUCE WAYNE!

Damian: *frightened*

Bruce:*also frightened because did Talia just full name him? What did he do now? Is he in trouble?*

Rest of the bats *necks snap to bruce*: Bruce what did you do

Bruce: *panics*

Talia: COME OUT NOW!

Bats: You're on your own

Damian: *tiptoes away into the shadows, breaks into runs once he reached the manors gates, carrying bubbles in his arm*

Damian has broken into the league base and snuck out one of their newborn tiger cubs, bubbles, from the sanctuary.

Damians Name

For Arabs your father's name is your middle name. And this is used more than your last name

For example for me it would be [my name] [my dad's name] that will be called with more often by arabs rather than family name. Full names are reserved for introductions only.

imagine Talia getting mad at Damian and scolding him at the league

Talia: DAMIAN BRUCE AL GHUL!! LET ME GET MY HANDS ON YOU!!

Damian: oh no

Guards: oh no indeed

(I know she didn't tell him the identity of his father till later. Wonder if that's why he's called inb alxuffash in league, cz they don't wnat to call him damian Bruce lol. Just damian ibn alxuffash. "Damian son of the bat", which is also a common arab thing to call someone as son of [fathers title])

#he is called bubbles because it sounds like cuddles and he likes cuddles and damian will never admit that so bubbles it is #every individual has that instinct to fear for their lives when a woman full names them #it is instinct carried on from childhood lol #Bruce has that insticnt too.... and every bat at that #damian wayne #batfam #talia al ghul #bruce wayne #damian al ghul #batman #damian is smol!

I am completely unbothered about the thought of damain chasing his siblings with a sword and threatening them with stabbing.

Because I have too been chased with a knife by my siblings and been threatened with stabbing

Extra: Damian meeting the supers

Damian is extremely relieved when he meets Superman, after all, he is what they told him he'd be.

Man of steel? Guess he isn't really "made" of steel.. but damian tried stabbing him to no avail so he really is indestructible. That is acceptable

*Damian nod nod nod

Calrk: awww he's playing with me.

Damian: I must establish dominance *stab stab

Now, whenever Clark is standing near/sitting by damian, he extends his hand for damian to try and maim him. Clark think they are "bonding," while damian is never successful ofc until he finally gets his hand on a shiny green rock stolen from his father's belt. He heard from his brot- ahem, ahem, allies that the alien man is scared of green rocks.

He is then introduced to Jon. This creature clearly lacks intelligence humph...*jon bites clark* ... he has teeth?

Bruce is very displeased when jon and damian are introduced... cz jon taught damian how to bite. Damian had this weapon this while time, his teeth, but he never thought to use it! Jon is proving to be a valuable ally, this is an effective weapon.

.... And Tim's new nemisis is a toddler.

Dick: he is just a baby

Tim: HES GIVING ME RABIES

Damian: kekekekekeke

(Funny how everyone was sure that damian will be the bad influence on jon but not in this case)

(The knife in question is a toy dagger engineered to look exactly like the real thing cz damian will not accept less. It is, of course, accompanied by a mighty bat plushie, hand sewn by alfred)

Daimian Joins Batfam Early AU

Damian joins the family .... a little too early

Tiny Damian stares up at Batman with wide blue eyes. Talia hands him over and hes reaching for him, his son. Damian’s mesmerized—touching Bruce’s face, his mask, his cape—all the way to the Batcave. Everything’s going fine until...

Bruce takes off the cowl.

Damian: gasp

Bruce: “What’s wrong?”

Damian, dead serious: “You are not a bat.”

Bruce: chuckling “I’m not.”

Damian, betrayed and spiraling: “Can you fly?”

Bruce: “No—”

Damian: “YOU ARE NOT FLUFFY.”

Bruce: “What?”

Silence.

Damian: pushes Bruce away “I want to go home.”

Cue Bruce heartbreak.jpg 😔

Damian had only seen Egyptian fruit bats before. Talia told him his father was The Bat, he was told he is Ibn Al-Xuffash so of course he expected a majestic, winged, furry bat-man imposing creature to be his father. Instead, he gets a brooding man in a costume... he thought he was going to be taller, tt.

Then comes Tim. Damian is told he’ll meet “Robin.” He braces for feathers, bird-boy. What he gets: a lanky teenager in a traffic light suit. He is offended. Jason lied, nothing about this "robin" thing is magic, there is no wonder.

Nightwing? Even worse. Damian was genuinely excited to meet a Kryptonian bird. He had never seen an alien bird before. This was a big moment for him. And then Dick Grayson walks in.

No wonder his mother kept him away. She said he had to prove himself, that he is not ready, but clearly she meant his father had to prove himself in training first. She was right. It is taking all of Damian’s inner strength to be around these imbeciles.

The only one who lives up to expectations is Alfred. He gives Damian cookies. Damian has never had cookies before. They are warm. They are delicious. Damian imprints.

#superman #supersons #damian is smol!
