It has been almost a year since I left Nick and gave birth to my baby with Damian, this year has been a rollercoaster that is for sure. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl names Savannah Marie Angelina Wayne. She will turn a year on December 13th this year. I can't believe that she will be a year old soon it is only three months away, and we are trying to get her room settled for her. She has been sleeping in our room since birth so we can get to her easier when she needs to eat and get a diaper change. I was sitting in the living room holding Savannah in my arms we were watching TV. The annoying show coco melon was on, don't get me started on how much I hate this show. If I start, I don't think I will ever stop in the first place. Damian walks in and sits down next to us, "How are my girls doing?" I smiled at him, "Good," Savannah reached her arms out to Damian, and he picks her up and sits her down on his lap, she started to play with his hair. Bruce walks in and looks at Damian, "I think that is what Damian needed to have for a normal life don't you think?" I looked back at him and nodded with a smile, "He is finally acting like a normal guy that's for sure." Damian looks at Bruce with a wide grin, "Oh enough I was normal before this." Bruce raised an eyebrow, "A normal psychopath that was for sure." I looked at Dick after he said that, and I laughed, "Hey!" He looked at me. "What it was funny"
I get up and walk back to the kitchen, I grab a drink and open the bottle. I needed to relax, my anxiety is going through the roof, and I am not sure why. I sit down and drink my beer trying to relax, I didn't want to tell Damian that I was worried about something to the point where I am worried and shaking all the time. I had gotten news from my doctor that my body was starting to shut down again, they are not sure why and want me to come back in for tests to find out what is causing my body to shut down on me. I feel like it is the serum they had used back then is wearing off and shutting down the rest of my body that was affected by the meta genes I was injected with. I finish my drink and head up to my room and lied down for a little bit, maybe a nap would help me out. I try to sleep it off but it didn't work. I walked into the bathroom and splashed water on my face, I looked in the mirror and noticed that my eyes went from green to red and my hair went from blonde to black in 5 seconds. What is going on? "DAMIAN!" I yelled for Damian as a stepped away from the mirror, I see Damian run through the door and look at me, "Mazikeen what the hell happened to you?" I looked at him with tears in my eyes, "I. I don't know, what is happening to me?" Bruce and Clark walk in right behind Damian and they both look at me with confusion, "I thought that gene was gone, Mazzei?" I shook my head. "I thought so as well, but I can't get it to go back, and it hurts, my eyes are hurting, and my head is pounding." Bruce walks up to me and looked into my eyes and then heads out of the room, "Bruce where are you going?" Clark asked. Bruce did not answer.
A few minutes later Bruce walked back in with a needle, "here stand still, I think it is a gene mutation again. You got to think you passed on a gene to your child which means your genes are now changing again waking old or new genes that never surfaced in the first place." I stood there and waited, Bruce then injected the shot into my bloodstream and my body started to burn. My hair was changing colors and my eyes were burning up like I was about to use my heat vision. Clark covered my eyes with his hand and my heat vision went off as soon as he covered my eyes. "Her heat vision was interacted very well I see," Clark said. I fall to the ground relieved that the pain was finally gone. My hair went back to normal, and my eyes were burned for a bit, but no longer red. Bruce helped me up off the ground and onto the bed, "You need to rest, your body went through a tough transformation in under 5 seconds. I lied down and closed my burnt eyes and fell asleep immediately, Damian, Bruce and Clark walked out of the room and into the hall.
*Damian's pov*
I am worried about Mazikeen, she hasn't had an outbreak like this before, and I don't think I want her to go through this trouble again. Father looks at me, "She will need these a few times a week just to be on the safe side that it is under control. I will leave that up to you or Clark to decide who will be doing that." I looked at them both, "Would she have the heat vision every time?" He shook his head, "I am not sure what the side effects will have she may have it, or she may not have it." I looked at Clark, "I would feel better if Clark did it, just in case she has an outbreak that I cannot control." Clark shook his head and walked back downstairs. I walked outside and took a deep breath and then started to train, I needed to get my mind off everything for a little while. I think going out and patrolling tonight will help me I will have to see if Raven or Beast boy can watch Savannah for a few hours. I was outside for a few hours and then made my way down to the Batcave, I got changed and headed over to Raven's house with Savannah. Then I head out to the deep part of Gotham. Where Joker's goons have been seen recently. I stood point and waited for the place to clear of civilians. Most of them had left but only 3 were left inside and normally they would not stay past this hour, so I am assuming these are not civilians but Joker's goons. They walk out and I make the move we started to fight I had two of them down as soon as I made my way down there. I was still fighting the other four, they were good, but I am better I was taught by the league of assassins and batman himself. I know more about the perfect fighting strategies than anyone. I am finally finished with these idiots. And yet I still haven't found out what is going on. Joker is up to something, and I need to find out why. Is he planning to come after Mazikeen or is he just doing this for fun?
I head back home and get changed and then I go over to Raven's and pick up Savannah. Savannah was fast asleep when I got there which is good because I need Mazikeen to rest as much as she can. I head back home with Savannah and then put her in her very own room, I head back to my room lie down next to Mazikeen and fall asleep. The morning came too fast, and I had to wake up and take Savannah over to daycare, and head to work. I was not ready for the long car ride; I must drive 2 hours for a meeting I have to give a presentation to. I get ready and also get Savannah already to go, I head out into the garage and strap Savannah up in her car seat and then head out. I dropped her off at daycare and then I was off to work. I get a text message from Clark. "Doing Mazikeen medication and then head off to work." I texted him back, "Okay" I finally got to work I am 10 minutes early. I walk in and get coffee I get everything set up and wait for people to walk in.
Later, that day I was still at the meeting, but I was no longer presenting other people were presenting. I guess I will be here most of the day since they have presentations for everyone going on in this room. There are about 12-15 of us in this room and we are only in the 3rd person. I sat there bored out of my mind, I was looking out the window and see something fly by. I took a closer look, and it was Clark dealing with Mr. Freeze, Captain Cold was also there but Wonder Woman was dealing with him. I get up and walk out of the room, technically I didn't need to stay since my presentation was over, but it was common courtesy to stay. I head out and go to the car I get changed and head out to help Clark and Diana. I was heading over to Diana but then I saw Cold jr. so I went over to him, and we started to fight. I headed over to where the civilians were to protect them. I moved people out of the way and was continuing to fight against Jr.
*Clarks POV*
I watched as Damian joined the fight and was going against Jr. I continued to go against Mr. Freeze. Diana was still finding Captain Cold; I don't understand why they choose today out of all the days to hit Metropolis. We battled against them for hours, I needed to get home and check on Mazikeen, but I was stuck here so I called Bruce, "Can you check Mazikeen for me I am caught up with Freeze." Bruce said yes and hung up for me. I went back to the fight, and we finally finished, we put them in Belle Reve and headed back to the hall of justice to head up to the fortress. "Diana, did we ever find out why all three of them hit Metropolis today?" They all shook their heads no. We were all confused about why they hit us all today. I met up with Damian after.
Damian looked at me with sad eyes. "What's wrong Damian?" I sat down with him, "I am worried about Mazikeen, I don't know what is going on and I am scared that she won't make it through." I sighed, "Yes, Damian I understand I am worried as well. But she will get through this she just has to get through a few days of medication and that's all." Damian sighed and looked at the ground. "Come on kiddo let's go home, I bet Mazikeen is waiting impatiently for you. I will go pick up Savannah and take her for the night. Her grandmother misses her."
*Damian's POV*
I headed home and went to my room Mazikeen was awake watching TV while eating ice cream. She sees me walk in and gets smiles I sit down with her, and she smiles, she put her ice cream aside and cuddles up next to me. I smiled and run my fingers through her hair, she falls asleep while I run my fingers through her hair. I fall asleep a little after she did. It felt great to get a good night's sleep.
*A year later*
Mazikeen and I have had a good year, she got better, and we had another healthy baby. He was born on September 23. His name is Kaden Sean Wayne. I moved up in Wayne Enterprises and Mazikeen is a high school teacher for Gotham Academy. Savannah starts preschool in a year and is now running all the manors. Bruce is giving me more free time to make a brand of my own instead of being robin and I am finding out who I am away from being batman's sidekick. Mazikeen and I plan on getting married later this November and moving out of Wayne Manor and into a new city where we can be our own heroes like how my father has Gotham and Mazikeen's Father has Metropolis. Our lives are up and down and going in every direction, but we make it through without giving up Our battles are now won alone but together.
It has been my pleasure of being one of your writers.
