One Day After Damian Got Kidnapped

"I want you, to hunt down Abas. And assasinate him."

Damian freezes for a good 10 seconds, before he's tentavely asking "Abas...?" Ra's simply nods.

"No." He proclaims and Elijah gives him a look which he firmly ignores and narrows his eyes at his grandfather who looks all too smug, his lips twisted into some sort of sadistic smile but his posture is still straight and that makes Damian's blood boil.

"Why is that?" His grandfather inquires though he already knows the fucking answer. Damian scowls at his lack of etiquette in the matter.

Damian decides to either lie or tell the truth, he goes for the latter.

"Abas Kalb, 21, born and raised to be a mindless killing machine and also one of my first friends, I refuse to hurt or kill him." Damian starts off with describing Abas, even though Ra's already knows, and that's annoying him.

"Your dear friend just happened to have killed more than half of the League in a single night and is now taking refuge in Starling City." Ra's continues though Damian refuses to make eye contact and he looks over at Elijah who shakes his head sympathetically.

"--- and I don't remember asking you to assasinate him." Ra's finishes, eyes narrowing just slightly and Damian tries not to grin.

The next words make Damian really really want to stab his grandfather.

"Or we can simply kill off Elijah, it's not that hard." Ra's shrugs and he feels Elijah freeze behind him.

His blood runs cold when he sees two guards drop down from the ceiling before one of them grabs Elijah by the throat before Damian can do anything else.

And hold a Katana over his pulse.

"No! Stop wait I'll do it!!" Damian finally cries out despite his hesitation when he sees a thin line of blood sweep down Elijah's elegant throat. Ra's smirks deviously and waves his hand in dismissal.

As soon as they came they were gone. Damian scowls and grabs Elijah's palm as he coughs violently.

"Where did you say he was?"

Three Weeks After Damian Was Found

Jon knows something's wrong immediately when he feels his cell vibrate and when he sees the Caller ID.

It's Dick who's calling.

He picks up his Chinese Takeout first before picking up his phone and pressing it against his ear, walking down the busy streets of Metropolis.

"Dick?" "Jon, thank god." He hears the eldest of the batboys sigh on the other end, and it crackles indicating he had called him on his comm.

"Please come to The Manor, Damian hasn't been acting like himself and it's scaring all of us. You already know he got kidnapped right?" "Yeah..." "Well he's not talking properly, doesn't snap at us, refuses to go to petrol, anytime we bring up that kidnapping he goes berserk and glares at us and---"

"Whoa whoa Dick calm the fuck down. You want me to come to the manor?" He asks and he hears Dick pant on the other end and he raises an eyebrow "Dick?"

"Yeah." He hears Dick say and Jon rolls his eyes "I'm coming in a few." And he hangs up.

He dumps his Takeout in the trash and flies over to Gotham where he can get Alfred's great cooking.

What's wrong with Damian?
