Summary
Damian has just turned sixteen years old. This means he's been working as Robin for almost six years now, his high school graduation is fast approaching and he's come a long way since he was a child assassin dealing with his entire world changing.
OR!
I contemplate Damian’s evolving vigilante and civilian persona in the context of his birthdays.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Damian woke up on August ninth already knowing that he would not be getting any work done today. He was sixteen now, which meant this was his seventh birthday since coming to live with his Father. As such, he knew what to expect from it.
He knew there would be cake, that his favorite meals would be made. He knew there would be a party later in the day with all of his friends and allies invited. He knew that if there was anywhere he wanted to go, they would do so, provided there were no large-scale Arkham breakouts to deal with. He knew that at some point throughout the day, his mother would arrive. She never approached him directly, but he could always sense her eyes on him.
Then he would make his excuses, would visit and speak to her. Not for long, never for long, twenty minutes at most, but she was always there.Series
