The man ignored her and turned to his son.

" Damian, give her a tour around the manor" he ordered. " Yes, father" the boy nodded, and went ahead. The little girl caught up to the boy- who was also scowling like his father. On the way up the girl introduced herself; " Hi, I'm Violet, nice to meet you " then she smiled at the boy- who was also ignoring her, much to her disappointment. She frowned, " What's your name?" the girl attempted to ask to start a conversation. Again he ignored her.

She sighed in disappointment, suddenly interested at the floor and well- didn't pay much to her surroundings and didn't notice the boy turn to a stop. She let out an "oomph" she collided with his back, the boy glared at her. " Sorry" the girl apologized, not making eye contact with the scowling boy in front of her.

" You know" she looked at him. " You really look like your father" she told the boy. The boy didn't reply. " Your dad seems to hate me " she laughed nervously. Again, no reply. She mentally cried.

" I knew I should've stayed at home" she said to herself. She looked around the manor and balled her eyes out. " Woah!" she said in amazement. " You guys are really hardworking! " she told the boy, who stopped in his tracks and looked back at the girl, and raised a brow.
 " Hardworking? " he asked.

The girl smiled with glee, " finally!" she thought.

" Yep" the girl nodded. "If you just idled around you won't get to live in this place! " she opened her arms, gesturing to the manor. " And you guys must have worked day and night" she added. The boy could practically see stars in her eyes as she looked around. 

He  just hummed in response, and continued walking. " Uwah" the girl said in amazement. She's never seen such beautiful place. " This" the boy spoke, " Is the kitchen" he added. The girl simply nodded, and they continued the tour.

An hour and a half passed, " This place is like a maze!" the girl exclaimed. " I could really get lost if I'm not careful " she scratched her head. Then she noticed two big, old doors. " Hey" she called out to the boy, he faced her and raised a brow. " What's in there?" she asked, as she pointed at the old looking doors. " The library" he responded with a monotoned voice. " I assume, a girl like you have no interest in " he added and looked at the girl- who was now gone, he admitted he panicked a little and scanned the room, he noticed the doors to the library was slightly opened and came in.

 To his surprise, the girl was hovering around collecting books. " What are you doing?" he asked the girl- who was now sitting on the floor reading a novel. "Reading" she answered, not looking at the boy. The boy raised a brow at her action. " You like books? " he asked her(not expecting to talk to her that much). She closed the book and looked at him " Nope" she told him and took another book to read. " I adore them" she added.

. " I used to have a lot of them back at the lab, but this is like a whole new level " she continued. Now this, peaked his interest. " Lab?" he asked. The girl looked up at him " Yeah, Your father, Wonder woman and my dad got me out of that wretched place" She replied.

"Isn't Superman your father?" he questioned. ( Boy, was he very talkative today) " No, No" she waved her hands in disapproval. " Papa's my adoptive father, my real father died five years ago " she smiled sheepishly. " Oh, Sorry" he apologized. " It's okay" she reassured him.

" Can I,,, know your name now? " she asked as she fiddled with her fingers. " Damian" he stated. "Damian Wayne". The girl smiled. " Your not so bad after all Dami" she complimented him. " Dami?" the boy questioned. "Oh" the girl said in realization. " It's a nickname, you could give me a nickname too, if you want" the girl suggested.

The boy turned around and grabbed the doorknob. " I'll,, think about it, let's just continue the tour" and went out as the girl followed him from behind.

 They reached the garden and noticed, Alfred, the butler watering the plants.

" Hello, master Damian" the butler greeted. " Hello, Pennyworth" Damian greeted back. The butler noticed a young girl behind Damian. " Hello, little miss" he smiled at the girl. " Hello!" she waved at the butler and gave him a closed-eyed smile.  " I'm Violet" she introduced herself.

"Hello, miss Violet " he smiled. " Violet, would be just fine" she smiled awkwardly. " I like your name" she complimented. The butler smiled. " Thank you, Violet" he thanked the little girl as he was throwing some of the leaves and weeds into a black trash bag.

 The girl stood beside Damian" Do you mind if we help you?" the girl asked the butler. Both the butler and Damian was taken aback by her sudden request. " I won't mind at all" the butler agreed.
" Wait, why am I included? " Damian questioned the girl-who was now beside him. " Don't worry, it'll be fun" she replied in a cheery manner. " How is taking the trash fun?" he pinched the bridge of his nose. The girl giggled- which he thought was cute. 

"Wait, cute?!, you must be out of your mind Damian" he thought as he mentally face palmed.

" It depends really" she replied. Damian raised a brow, " Either it be listening to music, or picturing the task at hand, or~ for a guy like you, I think your more interested in combat or competition" she explain, hand placed on her chin as if she were thinking.

Damian raised a brow, the girl summoned two black katanas and gave the other to the  boy.
" Whoever reaches the trash bins with all three trash bags at hand wins" she told the boy and sprinted towards the trash bags laying on the ground, leaving the boy baffled.

Violet giggled at the boy's face, " Cat caught your tongue?" Violet asked the boy playfully. Damian broke from his trance and sprint forward to catch up to the silver- haired girl with a black katana.

Bruce, who was looking through the window in his office and was also monitoring the silver- headed girl, which was kinda creepy, but could you blame him when there's a bio weapon in he's house?! And he's son and butler and friend is making contact with that thing?!

But there was something about that girl that caught his up most attention.

She made the Damian Wayne smile.

He could hear both children laugh in delight as they clash swords, which he thought was very dangerous at first, but when Damian landed a hit on her face it turn out that it doesn't have sharp blades (which also impressed him, by the way).

===================
==========

 As they were taking the trash bags away from one another, Violet noticed a tall man looking out the window with a small smile plastered on his face, she recognized him to be Damian's father and waved at him and went after Damian who took one of the trash bags.


Looks like she made a friend today, and made people smile around her.
