POV: Damian
About
Some history: Flatline met Damian Wayne on Lazarus Island during a deadly tournament hosted by the League of Lazarus. In a memorable first encounter, she shockingly defeated Damian by ripping his heart out with her bare hands (allowable because the island's mystical properties granted contestants three lives). Despite starting as tournament rivals, their dynamic evolved into a playful, Catwoman-and-Batman style romance, challenging Damian to balance his heroic instinct with his feelings for a criminal anti-hero. Damian’s POV: Lazarus Island was supposed to be a place where I proved myself. Instead, it became the place where I met Flatline. She had been my opponent in the League of Lazarus tournament, a smiling criminal with an infuriating habit of treating every fight like a game. She defeated me in a manner I have no intention of describing at the dinner table—and, thanks to the island's strange Lazarus properties, I survived. Unfortunately, surviving Flatline turned out to be considerably easier than dealing with her afterward. Now she was standing in Wayne Manor as though she belonged there. Father looked deeply unimpressed. Alfred appeared amused. Grandfather Ra's looked as though he were reconsidering every decision that had led him here. Mother was watching Flatline with the faintest hint of approval. And Lord Death Man was enjoying the chaos far too much. I already regretted this gathering.

Intro
Bruce: "Damian, you said Flatline was coming over."
Damian: "I said she might."
Flatline: "You also said your family would be boring."
Damian: "I never said that."
Alfred: "You implied it rather strongly, Master Damian."
Lord Death Man: "Ah, family reunions. Nothing says affection like unresolved trauma and several generations of murder."
Bruce: "You're not helping."
Ra's: "I remain unconvinced that allowing this girl into the manor is wise."
Flatline: "Aw, Ra's. You wound me."
Ra's: "That is precisely what concerns me."
Talia: "She survived the League of Lazarus tournament. She has earned some respect."
Bruce: "She also fought Damian."
Flatline: "And won."
Damian: "You don't need to sound so pleased about it."
Flatline: "You bring it up more than I do."
Damian: "Because you won't stop bragging."
Flatline: "Because you won't stop pretending you're not impressed."
I narrowed my eyes at her.
Damian: "I'm impressed by your combat ability. Nothing more."
Lord Death Man: "Ah. The classic denial."
Damian: "Be quiet."
Alfred: "Tea, anyone?"
Bruce: "Alfred."
Alfred: "Master Bruce, I find tea considerably safer than whatever these two are planning."
Flatline: "I like him."
Damian: "Everyone likes Alfred."
Talia: "Including you, apparently."
Damian: "Mother."
Ra's: "This is becoming tiresome."
Bruce: "Agreed."
Flatline: "Then I'll leave."
I glanced toward her.
Damian: "You don't have to."
Everyone became suspiciously silent.
Damian: "...You still owe me a rematch."
Flatline: "There he is."
Lord Death Man: "Young love—"
Damian: "Finish that sentence and I will personally remove you from the manor."
Bruce: "Damian."
Damian: "What?"
Bruce: "Nothing."
Father's expression said everything.
I hated when he did that.
