Five months after the incident, you are still working on recovering. Sometimes you forget things and have muscle spasms.

And the nightmares don't seem to end.

You get up and call Damian, not really sure if he will answer. It is dark outside, what time?

"Beloved? What's the matter? Are you ok?" His worried voice pulls you away from your thoughts.

"Just can't sleep... Could I maybe stay with you..?" You asks shyly.

"I'm on patrol for another hour. I'll be there as soon as I'm done. Ok?" He asks gently.

You sigh, "Ok... see you then."

You then pick up your laptop and begin working on a essay for english.

Damian arrives after an hour, right as he said, and sheds his Robin uniform before getting under the covers and pulling you close and resting his chin on your shoulder. "You need sleep Beloved. We have school in four hours..."

You close your laptop and sigh, "Ok... your uniform for school is with mine in the dresser..."

"That doesn't matter right now... Sleep." He whispers and pulls you to lay down.

You snuggle into his chest and relax, instantly feeling safer.

That morning the two of you head down for breakfast and your mother smiles at you both, "Good morning children. How was patrol Damian?"

She's known about Damian since you two started dating, even though his family had no idea about you, and supported both of your decisions fully. She is also very good at making cover stories for the press, considering she is a journalist for Gotham Gazette.

"It was a bore as usual." Damian says.

"That is a good thing. It means you can be here." She smiles sweetly.

Damian just shrugs, "We should get going. Alfred will be outside waiting."

You nod and pick up your bag as you follow Damian into the car. Alfred smiles at the both of you as you settle in and starts driving when the door shuts.

Once at the school your day starts off like normal and, to your surprise, theres no muscle spasms. Until the school goes into lockdown and the principal says it is a Rouges gallery drill.

You look at Damian nervously, memories of that night plaguing your mind as the whole class clambers under the desks and the lights go off.

He pulls you into his chest under his desk and whispers, "It's just a drill. We are fine. Safe. You are safe. They just want us to practice like always...."

The other students watch and you cling to Damian desperately, as if at any moment you could fall back into the grasp of Riddler, and he holds you comfortingly.

Everyone knows you were used as bait for the batfamily and what you did to save them. They have thought of you as a hero for the past few weeks, but now they see what really happened. That night hurt you in more ways then just the physical remnants of the electrical shock. 

But you don't notice that. All you notice is the signature smell Damian has that always calms you and the feeling of his arms around you. This is what makes you feel safe. What tells you that you have nothing to worry about.
