A rainy night, Damian Wayne sits in his room as he pets Alfred his cat in the library.
His expression uncharacteristically sorrowful as he feels Alfred purr. The rain acted as white noise as he tuned everything out.
The rain hitting the roof started to sound like bone cracks. He remembers that night clear as day.
He remembers the body that laid before him.
Words echoed
You were so close to saving him. Only if you were more skilled...
Tears start to form in his eyes as a panic attack starts to creep in.
Alfred's pleading but accepting expression never leaves Damian's mind.
His breathing gets more rugged and his heart pounds as small tears spill.
Just then he smelled cookies, a scent that calmed him as he remembers Pennyworths smile.
He quickly wiped his tears, all the tension forgotten. "Pennyworth are those chocolate chips?! Do give some before Todd gets them!" He says as he spins his chair around, the cat pouncing off.
His joyful expression only falters as he sees Jason himself standing there holding a tray with a fresh bake of chocolate chip cookie. He looked at Damian with an unimpressed expression.
"Wow demon spawn, I'm not that bad of a fatass"
The little Robin looked at the cookies for a long time before taking one. "Thanks Todd" he said flatly.
Jason sighs and sits beside him. "You miss Alfred don't you?"
"Don't be ridiculous Todd, unlike you I have perfect coping mechanisms."
"In the Wayne family? Really?" Jason sneered. "Stop pretending already, it's okay to miss people."
"You are presenting sentimental advice?" Damian raised an eyebrow.
"That's not the point right now and you know it. Wanna talk about it?" He was unusually gentle.
"As a matter of fact? I don't" Damian replied.
Red Hood shrugs and gets up to leave. "Suit yourself, cookies are available if you need it" he says as he walks out.
Robin scoffed and took a bite of a cookie. It brings assurance that Alfred would never blame him. The guilt is still there no doubt and it will never truly go away.
Cookies aren't merely enough to keep the nightmares away. But Damian can at least eat them and remember small happy memories instead of the big traumatic one.
