Hair

Talia Al Ghul had let him braid her hair sometimes. Whether it was for a special event or for a holiday or just when they had time to spend together, without the threat of being overheard or interrupted.(Not that the interrupter would get away with it.) But for an hour, or however long they were granted, at least once a month. Damian Wayne didn’t have to be Ra's Al Ghul heir. He could just be Damian. Braiding his mothers hair. But mother was not around anymore. And Damian had no plans of ever being around her again. Even though he had enjoyed those days. She had been kinder then. Softer. More like a mother. But Selina had shown him what a real mother was like. And Talia had not been that. But he missed braiding hair. So his feet led him to her door. 

Selina opened it on the second knock and smiled when she saw it was him. Talia had never smiled just by seeing him. He had to have done something good, something to make her proud to get her to smile at him. But Selina smiled. At him. Because he was there. “Hello kitten.” She crouched to be at his level. Another thing no one had ever done in the League. They found arrogance in their height over him. But Selina, and Bruce, and his siblings all knelt to be eye level with him. “Hello Selina.” He said back. “What do you need?” She asked, still smiling softly. What do you need? Not, what do you want? Not, not now Damian. No. What do you need so I can help you? Damian smiled and Selina lit up. “I would like to braid your hair.” He said softly. Selina stood, nodding. “You came on the perfect day.” She headed back into her room, beckoning him. Damian followed her into the very back of her room, where she pushed a panel in the wall to reveal a second room. Damian blinked. The room was painted a soft black, stars and bats and cats stenciled every so often. It had a few dark red couches and beanbags, along with a black cupboard. But the most shocking thing of all was Cass, Steph, and Babs were all seated on the couches, talking and laughing. They stopped when they spotted him, but still smiled warmly. “Hey baby bird!” Steph called, scooting to one side of her seat. “Come join me!” “No me!” Babs called, shifting as well. Cass signed a few words and Damian smiled, heading over to sit with his sister. Steph and Babs pulled a face and Cass grinned in triumph, pulling Damian onto her lap. “Hello Batladies!!” Selina grinned. “Welcome to our own personal spa room. I already did this spiel but since we have a new member, Damian Wayne, I thought I should go over it again.” She winked at Damian. “This is a place where we can talk and gossip and laugh and cry. Any emotions and rants are welcome. Vent if you’d like! Sit in silence too! No judgment. Just relaxation and girl time! Plus Damian of course!” He smiled. “We should be expecting three more guests…” she trailed off as another door opened and Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy stepped into the room. 

Cass tightened her hold on Damian, just in case he wanted to attack. But he was perfectly content in her arms. “Damian, I’d like you to meet two of my best friends, Ivy and Harley.” Damian waved and Ivy and Harley gave him matching smiles. “Hey!” Steph called. “Love y’all’s hair.” The two women grinned and walked over, sitting down across from them. “Looking for ideas Steph?” Ivy mocked. Steph snorted. “Yeah right. Like I’d go fire red or crazy cotton candy.” The two women laughed and plopped down onto the sofa. “Now we just need Lois and we’ll be ready to start!” There was a knock and Lois Lane walked in. “Sorry! Am I late?” Ivy laughed. “Just on time Lane. Like always” Lois smiled. “Thanks Ivy.” She took a seat next to Babs at the girls' invitation and Selina grinned, walking over to the large cupboard. “Alright! Pick your favorite color gals and let’s start!” The cupboard was filled from bottom to top with beauty products, nail polish, hair curlers, face masks, eyelash curlers, and more. The women all jumped up, rushing to grab a color, Steph and babs climbing over the other to grab pink and Ivy and Lois arguing over the right shade of red. Selina laughed, a loud joyful thing and Damian smiled as he watched her. Cass just grinned, still sitting. Steph grabbed a hot pink and walked past, plopping a navy blue into her sister's hand. Cass smiled in thanks. Selina caught Damian’s eye and winked, beckoning him over. He slipped off Cass’s lap, walking over to her. She picked a color off the wall and knelt down, holding it out to him. “How bout it baby bird?” Damian examined the color. 

She had picked a nice bright forest green. Green was his favorite color. “It’s- a bit bright.” He said slowly. “I have an idea!” Steph was next to them, looking for a bright purple. “How about-!” She pulled a few colors off the shelf then settled on two. “Here.” She squatted next to him as well. “You can put the green down as the bottom layer, then put this black layer over top. So it looks black, but then in certain lights, it’ll shine green.” Damian considered it, then nodded. “Okay.” Steph squealed and hugged him, grabbing the colors and his hand. “Perfect!” She hurried over to her couch and threw babs feet off(causing babs to shout a string of words Bruce had pretty much banned in the house) and sat Damian down instead. “Hold out your hands.” She ordered. Damian did as she asked. “You’re gonna look so good Dami!” She said, grinning. If Damian didn’t know his sister was a wonderful person who only wanted the best for him he would’ve thought she was joking. Babs blew on her bright red nails, having lost the fight for pink, and reached for a face mask. “Wanna do a mask babe?” She asked him. “It’ll cleanse your pores. Make your skin soft and clean.” Damian nodded. “Okay.” Babs grinned and Damian allowed her to apply it to his face. “Ooh!!! No he didn’t!” Harley exclaimed. Ivy gaped at Selina. The woman nodded sagely, holding a glass of champagne. Ivy had painted her nails a dark green and was doing Harley’s in a mix of pink and blue. Selina hadn’t done anything yet, but looking at her he remembered why he was here. Steph had finished his nails, still forbidding him from looking at them, and was now gently blowing on them to dry them. 

“Wheres Jason by the way?” Babs asked Cass, putting curlers in her hair, a mask on her face. Cass shrugged, signing “he comes and goes.” “Todd does these?” Damian asked, looking between his sisters. Cass and Steph snorted. Babs grinned. “Oh yeah. All the time.” “He has some good gossip.” Harley drawled in her Boston accent. Ivy and Lois laughed. “Yes he does. It’s most interesting.” Selina laughed. Damian hadn’t seen her this relaxed in a while. “He’s off with his father right now.” She rolled her eyes. “Something secret.” Ivy wiggled her eyebrows, holding Harley’s hand. “Maybe he’s trying to be cute for you!” Lois said, laughing as Harley did her nails in a deep purple. Babs, Cass, and Steph were quiet. Selina gave them a look. “Maybe.” 

“Alright!” Steph announced. “You can look.” Damian looked down at his nails. They were painted black, but when he rotated his wrists a bit, he could see a green shine glowing underneath. Selina came over and ooohed. “Can you do that for me too, kitten?” She asked Steph. Steph lit up. “Sure!” “Can I braid your hair while she does?” Damian interjected. Selina nodded. “Of course baby.” She sat on the ground and Steph sat between her legs, taking her hands in hers. Damian sat on the couch behind her, running his hands through her thick brown hair. As he separated the strands into sections his nails glowed every so often and he smiled, looking at them. The chatter started up again, each woman talking over the other, laughing as drinks were poured easily. Cass handed him a juice box and he smiled in thanks, stopping his braiding for a second. Selina’s hair was soft, softer than Talias, and thicker too. But it was so much fun to braid. “Wowza birdie!” Steph exclaimed, looking at Selina’s head. “Holy.” Babs muttered. “Can you do my hair next bebs?” Cass asked. Damian smiled, nodding. “Sure.” And in that moment, surrounded by the women in his family, Damian felt he now understood the true meaning of family. And from then on Selina was given the title of Mother. 

(Talia became Talia)

good mooorning sunshine!! guess who?? love time to brighten you online classes (or playing lol)!! KITTIES GIF TT your boys are so>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> cuties TT such little sunshines i've learnt that genshin has a character with my name and was so ??? it was so confusing at first when i was... reading fanfics... 'people are dumb' true. god bless them and give them the littlest bit of smth like our big brains. i didn't experience that but suffered another problem. katya is a common name so there always were a lot of katyas. once we even had 5 (five) katyas in the class. that awkward silence when teacher asked katya to answer... now i'm the only one, though, and i feel lonely(( 'MY CUTIE KITTY' omg TT i cried. funfact: my mom says she named me katya bc she used to call me kitty/kitten when i was born. in russian we have a word meaning kitty 'kotya (kotyona)' which is literally 1 letter difference. 'nicknames that make 0 sense' hhhdjs they're cute. 'im just very confused' lol as a linguist i can confirm that etymology is VERY confusing so they all probably have some story. but boyet is so idk it makes me laugh out of cuteness. 'but the guy in supernatural' I DON'T KNOW. ok i've done some research and i still don't understand if misha is actually his second name or it's written everywhere as his nickname but!! i learned that his mother named him misha after her ex-bf who was dmitriy and probably was called mitya but she mistook it for misha... can't judge her. i really am amused by the fact his brother is sasha but the sisters have jewish names. it's also interesting how jewish names are more spread on the territory of america and most of names known as slavik are actually greek (my name means innocence and pureness in greek lol)... probably it has smth with the religions but ok it's already too long. 'i dont have any of that experience so' it's ok you'll get your big shining moment. it's never late to learn and you'll definately get all you need when needed. i believe in you. you're already big brained, though, they're just not as high leveled. no but how you added crying emoji to the row of angry ones😭 relatable really... i usually cry when im, too mad. not to be annoying but how are the writing life (lol idk how to call it)? how are you? how is genshing? tbh, i feel a little useless when i'm not commenting on anything/ telling you something really big and interesting. hope i'm brining your mood up at least!! luv u!! have a nice day, catmom!! good luck with the classes or whatever you do!! take care!! love you <з

Hello my baby 💗

Im actually in school right now so. pray for my ears we're doing a live sound check. That also means im going to be replying on my phone

nvm it was too hard to reply at school i waited til i came home

My kitties really be cutie huh 💗

Give them a bit of our big brains HAHAHAHAHHAHA.

i've learnt that genshin has a character with my name and was so ??? it was so confusing at first when i was... reading fanfics...

wait you read genshin fanfics? also i hat to look up katya genshin and SHE came up ew i hate her she's annoying af but her twin with the water even worse L

'people are dumb' true. god bless them and give them the littlest bit of smth like our big brains. i didn't experience that but suffered another problem. katya is a common name so there always were a lot of katyas. once we even had 5 (five) katyas in the class. that awkward silence when teacher asked katya to answer... now i'm the only one, though, and i feel lonely((

i mean T_T people have dumb tendencies. lol i can kinda realate. hannahs pretty basic and i have met a bunch of hannahs in college, but lol i dont feel lonely when im hannah by myself HAHAH

'MY CUTIE KITTY' omg TT i cried. funfact: my mom says she named me katya bc she used to call me kitty/kitten when i was born. in russian we have a word meaning kitty 'kotya (kotyona)' which is literally 1 letter difference.

my baby muning mingming (idk why but we all call kitties in the ph mingming or muning even though the filipino for cat is pusa HAHAHAHAHHA idk i think it has to do with the sound they make???? HAHHAHAHHA)

'nicknames that make 0 sense' hhhdjs they're cute. 'im just very confused' lol as a linguist i can confirm that etymology is VERY confusing so they all probably have some story. but boyet is so idk it makes me laugh out of cuteness.

HAHAHAHAHHAh FR MY GRUNKLES NAME IS SO ????? WILD WHERE DID IT COME FROM :ASHF:ASHF:ASF i love etymology people are weird.

'but the guy in supernatural' I DON'T KNOW. ok i've done some research and i still don't understand if misha is actually his second name or it's written everywhere as his nickname but!! i learned that his mother named him misha after her ex-bf who was dmitriy and probably was called mitya but she mistook it for misha...

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 so youre telling me misha collins isnt even really russian??? AAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH THE PLOT TWIST IS REAL AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH i mean that's what i get for assuming HAHAAH

can't judge her. i really am amused by the fact his brother is sasha but the sisters have jewish names. it's also interesting how jewish names are more spread on the territory of america and most of names known as slavik are actually greek (my name means innocence and pureness in greek lol)... probably it has smth with the religions but ok it's already too long.

yeah while i was looking through russian names i saw a lot of them were from hebrew and greek so very very interesting. there may be a widespread of jewish names because of the war/diasporas. i love that his brother's name is sasha <3 UGH CUTIE

'i dont have any of that experience so' it's ok you'll get your big shining moment. it's never late to learn and you'll definately get all you need when needed. i believe in you. you're already big brained, though, they're just not as high leveled.

thank you T_T

no but how you added crying emoji to the row of angry ones😭 relatable really... i usually cry when im, too mad.

LOL i accidentally pressed it HAHAHAH but no youre so real for that. i cry when i get angry/frustrated. i hate raising my voice. i hate getting angry. it is the ugliest emotion. i vowed never to get angry ever again and id like to say im doing a pretty good job at it, as in calming myself from feeling massive and real anger. i hate angriness so much.

not to be annoying but how are the writing life (lol idk how to call it)?

ive been writing p3 of waiting for a lifetime and it think im halfway through. T_T im so annoyed im making everything so long i hate it. (also ive been trying not to curse T_T HAHAHHAHHHAH but SHAMPOO its hard T_T)

LOL i dont care much for genshin as i used to ???? lol did i ever care much for it? idk i honestly only downloaded it to play with my friends online but i had to rank up to lvl 20? i think. and idk i only play it to kill the enemies (called hillichurls) and to explore AND TO GET CHARACTERS

OMG YES I GOT THE NEW CHARACTER LOOK

he's so pretty he's my pretty boy but hes so weak T_T because im weak and i cannot be bothered to level him up and farm for him. RIP

it was this movie, october sky, its about a kid who wants to make rocket ships and its based on a true story so HAHAHAHA i kinda might go back to it but i prolly wont AHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

'its weird someone else has my name' ekaterina I, ekaterina II and me: *_*, *_*, *_* well.. hm.. sorry for stealing your names babygirls... yk, im proud.
