Jealous: Damian and Selina

I do not own batman.

After his and his father's talk his father has been trying to spend more time with him. They walked together with Titus and Ace on the grounds and they visited a museum. Tim and Duke also came with them. But Damian understands that father needs and wants to spend time with all his children. Damian can see that his father puts effort in his promises. Damian is trying to do the same. But he just doesn't know how to get along with Selina. He doesn't even know how to get along with most people.

Selina's cats have been moved to the manor. They have their own place on the grounds. It is close to the woods. It looks like a small house. It has three rooms. Two bigger than the third one. One looks just like a living room with a couch, television and a lot of books. Then there is another room with all kinds of cat toys and places to sleep for the cats. The last room holds the stuff needed for the cats to relieve themselves. Then there is also a toilet and a sink for the humans who visit the cats.

Titus and Ace had to be trained and made aware of the fact that they may not hurt the cats. It took some time and sometimes they still try to get close to them but it is still a work in progress. Until now there have been no incidents. Alfred (the cat) still mostly stays in either the cave, barn or manor itself. He doesn't socializes much with the other cats. Tim jokes he takes after his owner. He got a plate against his face in return.

Right now Damian is making his way to the manor. On his way back from patrol he heard kittens meowing. He took a look and found them under a dumpster. They were fairly small and underweight. He couldn't leave them there. It seemed their mother hasn't returned to them. Maybe she abandoned them? Because she didn't want them. Damian shakes his head at those thoughts they hit to close. Maybe she got killed while trying to find food for them. Damian doesn't know which option he finds sadder. One thing is for sure though the kittens can't stay under the dumpster, otherwise they die. So now he has the kittens in his arms in his cape as he makes his way silently towards the manor, walking in it towards his room.

Damian wants to take care of the kittens but he is pretty sure his father would want him to bring them to an animal shelter or other people. But Damian doesn't want that, they are his now. He already has many pets a few more won't hurt right? But according to his father that's the whole problem. He already has that many when will it be enough? Honestly? Probably never Damian thinks. And If father decided that he can keep them, he will have to give Todd his horses, Cassandra her rabbit, Dick his Elephant... Because of that Damian has decided to keep them a secret for now. Maybe he can hide them in the barn or with Selina's cats. Would those cats mind? Would father ever find out? Pennyworth might...He needs to have Pennyworth on his side.

Damian is so lost in thoughts that he doesn't notice Selina before it is too late and she has spotted him.

''What are you doing here?'' Damian scowls and tries to hide the kittens in his cape behind his back without letting them fall.

''I live here now.'' Selina just says without anything behind it. ''Where is Bruce?''

"Father is still patrolling, I had to come back earlier because I have school tomorrow."

''Is that so?'' She hums as she walks closer to him. ''And what is that behind your back?'' She smiles.

''Nothing.'' Damian answers and Selina lets out a laugh. ''You know that won't work on me right? C'mon show me I promise I won't be mad.'' She smirks. Damian rolls his eyes but brings the cape back in front of him. ''Don't tell father.'' He says as he folds his cape open so that Selina can see the three kittens. He can see her eyes soften and her lips turn slightly upwards. ''They are cute.'' She says as she looks him into the eyes and brings a finger towards one of the kittens to pet it.

''I found them under a dumpster, alone.'' Damian explains.

''And the mother?'' Selina asks.

''Not around I do not know if she is death or abandoned them.''

''I see.'' She says as she takes her finger away from the kitten. ''And what do you plan to do with them?'' Damian eyes his bedroom door and Selina follows his gaze. ''Were you planning on hiding them in your room?''

''It is not like father wants to have any more animals.'' Damian defends.

''I am sure he wouldn't notice it if you put them with the other cats.''

''But pennyworth might.''

''Might? I bet you he will.'' Selina laughs. ''But maybe we can convince him and if we have him on our side convincing bruce will be easy. ''

''And How do you want to accomplish that Kyle?'' Damian asks. ''pennyworth said that if there would be anymore animals he would need more personal to take care of them and you know father would never allow that. It wouldn't be safe for the secret. ''

''I know but we could help him out. More than you do now. '' She says as she puts her hands on her hips.

''I am listening.'' Damian says.

''If we propose that we help him with feeding, cleaning and buying stuff for the animals I am sure he would be delighted and would help us convince Bruce. ''

''Why do you think that?''

''Because it would give us some bonding time? Maybe he will even force Bruce to help us out.'' Selina says.

''That might be true, but why are you helping me?'' Damian says as his eyes narrow.

''Aren't all the cats in the garden answer enough? I want to give the strays a happy and safe home, including these little ones.'' She says as she points at the kittens.

Damian nods. ''I guess you're not that bad. ''

''Shall we go find Alfred to ask him? He is still awake. '' Selina asks and Damian nods. After a few minutes of silence Selina opens her mouth again.

''You know I am not trying to replace your mother right?'' Selina asks.

''I know.'' Damian says after the confusing and shock of that question has gone away. ''No one ever could, she is one of a kind.''

''Aren't we all?'' Selina says as she opens the entrance to the cave where Alfred is.

Author's note

I hope you like it! This is the last part of this series therefore it is now finished. Sorry if the characters are ooc. I really need a bonding moment between Selina and Damian in the comic. If you're wondering what happens next... Alfred says yes and helps them convince Bruce. Jason still demands horses and Stephanie backs him up. I am also planning on writing another batman fanfic that is kind of based on chapter 2 of this fanfic. I got the idea from that chapter. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and the fanfic in total.
