Our Secrets

Chapter 27 -The Bucket List (Part 1)

"It's me." Damian stated, confused. Dick patted his brother's head sympathetically, Damian swatted his hand away. "Are we not leaving already?"

"No, we gotta wait for dad and Alfred before we head to DisneyLand, and then after 5 days there we'll head for a day at the beach and return home just in time for Y/n to go back to her sleeping beauty state."

"Sleeping beauty?"

"You haven't seen that movie!?" Dick yelled in alarm but quickly calmed after Y/n said that she did.

"You're her except you won't have any prince charmings kissing you since you've got charming brothers instead."

"... I don't know about that charming brothers part.."

"HEY!"

"Alfred, are you sure you don't need help taking all those luggages into the jet?"

"I'm quite certain Miss Y/n, why don't you go ahead and board the plane?" Alfred kindly replied.

A sudden pop was heard and on top of one of the suitcases was Zooky cheekily smiling.

"Zooky can help! Zooky can!" he enthusiastically said and Alfred couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright then, thank you sir Zooky."

"Just Zooky Mr Pennyworth! Zooky is a friend, yes?"

"Then call me Alfred, Zooky."

Y/n smiled at the interaction before heading aboard the jet. She could see that her brothers had each left them a spot beside them, hoping that they would choose to sit next to one of them. Discussing the seating beforehand with someone else, Y/n passed by all of them before heading to sit right next to her father.

"How long will the flight be?"

"Perhaps an hour or 2... Would you like to play a game of chess in the meantime?"

"Can we play Wizard's Chess?"

— — — — — — — — — —

"Well played Y/n."

"Thanks! I wish you could've met Ron, he's a master at this game."

"I'm sure that your friend is a nice man Y/n. I didn't expect the pieces to do... that however."

"I know! But it makes it a whole lot more interesting! Well, kinda if you don't put in context what happened in 1st Year."

Bruce raised an eyebrow, "Should I ask..?"

"I'll tell you! But I promise we were all safe and properly healed straight after!"

An hour had passed and the family only had to wait 40 more minutes to arrive at their destination. Looking at the sleeping girl beside her, who had decided to take a nap after telling her story about 1st Year and the few years after that, Bruce smiled and brushed a strand of stray hair away from her face. Relaxing into his seat and looking out the window past Y/n, he watched the fluffy, white clouds pass by.

He had never expected to get attached too quickly, and yes, Bruce didn't share the same bond he and the boys gained over patrol and missions with Y/n, but he did manage to bond by just being himself, which he greatly appreciated. It was odd and kind of felt... normal, which was ironic since Y/n was magical.

"..ng...stop..no..."

Concerned, Bruce quickly turned his head to Y/n.

"...why... ninong... Fer...."

Tears were streaming down Y/n's face and Bruce gently shook Y/n to wake her up. Eyes opening and making direct eye contact with Bruce's, Y/n let out a breath and choked on a sob, collapsing in her father's arms.

"It's alright now Y/n. You're safe here. You're with me. Everything is okay." Bruce reassured her, gently rubbing her arms and let her calm down at her own pace. Soon she stopped crying but didn't want to let go of Bruce and kept her face hidden.

The batboys peeked in their direction, concerned, but Bruce sent them a reassuring look that he would handle it and they all turned around again, occasionally turning back just to check.

Ninong. Filipino for godfather. Bruce was going to have to do some investigating when they got back from this trip, but for now, he would dedicate it to making sure that Y/n would have the best time that she could with her family.

Y/n was currently waiting in line with her family for an attraction (pick one!) and Y/n loved looking around the place, amazed by the fact that everything was made without any magic at all. While waiting, Y/n heard the passing conversation of some children who were comparing their parents to food.

"My dad is a blueberry."

"Well then my dad is a zucchini."

"What even is that?"

Y/n zoned out of that conversation and focused on the growing crowd surrounding them, taking pictures, and she was slowly getting uncomfortable. Bruce noticed and hid her behind them, making sure she wouldn't be seen.

(She wouldn't be recognized, she had changed her appearance with some hair dye and contact lenses. She made her hair longer/shorter which was curled/straightened with some quick magic and now no one could tell it was her unless they knew it was her from before).

Soon some police came and directed the people away so that the family could actually enjoy their time together.
