"Hey So Would You Mind Telling Me About Puppet Hist-"

Hiya Omni! May I request young Owen & Hattie deciding to run away from home and Deckard has to go out and find them and convince them to stay (even if he secretly wants to leave too)

Awwwww! I can see this happening so many times when they're young. Deckard feels so bad because he wants to leave with them, but he can't

Warning: depictions of child abuse

~~~

Teeth chattering, Deckard walked through the empty streets of London. Pulling his too thin coat tighter around his body, he kept his head on a swivel, hoping to catch a glimpse of two little bodies

When he had come home from the late job his uncle gave him, he wasn't surprised to hear his father snoring in the living room, full passed out. But when he had gone upstairs, he hadn't seen either of his siblings in their bedrooms

Immediately, Deckard had panicked, worried that his father had gone too far. But then he had seen a letter left in his own room

It was the fifth time Owen had dragged Hattie out of the house, saying they were running away. Deckard couldn't help but wonder what made Owen snap this time. Whatever it was, it wasn't good

Deckard hoped his siblings were dressed warmer than him as he watched his breath swirl in front of his face

It was an hour later and Deckard could barely feel his fingers when he found his siblings. He should have known they would hide behind their favorite candy store

Stepping into the alley, Deckard shook his head as the two cuddled against a large garbage bin. Owen seemed to have enough sense to bring a blanket, which Hattie peeked her head out from under

"Oh. Hatts. What are you doing?" Deckard sighed, trying to keep his teeth from chattering too much

"We're running away!" Owen snapped and tried to scowl but looked more like he was pouting

"Why?" Deckard asked, moving closer to them. Without a word or gesture, they were pulling the blanket up to let him slide under it. Once he was, Hattie crawled into his lap and Owen snuggled against his side

"Da's a cunt." Owen grumbled

"Language." Deckard said tiredly. "And that's not a reason."

"Because he hurt Hatts!"

Deckard frowned at that

"Show me."

Hattie bit her lip as she brought her hands up and took off her gloves. Her hands were hastily bandaged and showed the blood skin and rash

"Oh, Hatts..."

"He made wear those bad things." She sniffed

Latex. Which she was allergic to

Cradling her hands, Deckard felt exhaustion settle deep in his bones

How many times was he going to let their father hurt his siblings? Could they ever escape that awful man?

"We need to go home and clean this properly."

"No!" Hattie wailed. "He's going to hurt us again!"

"Hattie! We have nowhere else to go!" Deckard said firmly

"I'm not going to let him keep hurting us!" Owen hissed, meeting Deckard's eyes. "Nobody believes us! Not even mum!"

Deckard bit back a sigh

Owen wasn't wrong. Their teachers, the doctors, neighbors, and their mother didn't believe that the injuries they got were from their father

"I'm sorry, Oh. But we can't leave."

"Why not?" Hattie cried, rubbing her face with her hand and smearing blood on her cheek. Grabbing her hand, Deckard shook his head

"Because... just because."

He could see that neither of them found that a good answer, but Deckard was too cold to come with a good lie

"Come on," he sighed. "We're going home."

Wrapping the blanket around Hattie, he picked her up. She was heavy in his arm, but he didn't dare let her down. For his comfort or hers, he wasn't sure

Sending Owen a firm look, he led the way back to their house

He had a feeling none of them would be sleeping much that night

All the asks! Deck and whoever else on a Gordon Ramsay show? ^^

If you've been watching me streams, you'll be hearing how I've been binge watching Hell's Kitchen lately lol. I just love the idea of Deckard being a contestant!

~~~

Deckard stood with the other constantants of Hell's Kitchen, all waiting for that day's challenge

So far, the competition was going smoothly. Deckard had taken control of his team easily, teaching them better methods and settling tempers

It was satisfying to see the group of men coming together to work as a unit under his tutelage. He even talked with the women after their challenges go coach them

He could tell the producers of the show hated his guts

They wanted drama, not every waking hour they had of Deckard bringing everyone together

At least Ramsay loved him and his cooking

Deckard could talk hours with the Scotsman and never grow bored. Especially when they talked about their kids

Even thinking about Sam and Luke made Deckard's heart pang. He missed them so much. He couldn't wait until he could cook for them again

Suddenly, Ramsay was walking towards them. Deckard straightened his back

"Today, none of you will be allowed to cook anything."

Deckard raised an eyebrow

"Instead," Ramsay smiled, "you'll be teaching someone else to cook."

Deckard had to hold back his smile. This would be too easy

"And I'm sure you'll recognize you students."

With a wave of his hand, a line of people walked into the dining room. Deckard heard several gasps and cries of joy as Ramsay introduced the contestants family members

And that's when Deckars spotted him

Owen

The little bastard was lined up with the other family members, smirking like crazy and keeping eye contact with Deckard

Who glared at his little brother

"Today's challenge, you'll have to instruct your family member how to cook a dish. Simple enough, yeah?"

Deckard glared harder at Owen

Owen smiled back smugly

"Well, what are you waiting for? Get going!"

Everyone ran for the kitchens

---

"Next, Deckard and his little brother, Owen." Ramsay called out and waved to them

So far, it had been a close tie between the teams and Deckard would break it one way or another

As he and Owen stepped up, Deckard kept his face neutral. This was going to be... entertaining

"Please show me what you made." Ramsay said and Owen lifted the metal dome

To reveal a plate of random fruit cut up

Ramsay's face was filled with shock

Owen was smiling proudly

Deckard hung his head

Seemed like the producers knew how to get him off the show

I hope you enjoyed friend!

There is something that really intrigues me about Damian Wayne's year by year development. Because every year, he's different from the last. Personality wise, his behaviour and his perspective of life changes irratically.

First there is his 10 year old self. Damian is very proud and arrogant. He doesn't care for any of his siblings or family one bit. Not even Bruce. What he cares about is Batman's mantle. He prides himself on being the son of The Dark Knight and Talia al Ghul. And that's why he wants his father to see his potential, and deem him worthy. He is cold and dismissive. He also doesn't understand emotions really well. Nor does he care for others'. He is unlikable and people tend to steer away from him. Damian Wayne doesn't get bothered by it. He hates stupid people anyways. It doesn't bother him. It doesn't. He is ignorant.

Then there is his 11 year old self. A few months after coming back from the dead. Yet he's still scarred, physically and emotionally. His mother's betrayal simmers inside his heart, throbbing. It's a new feeling for him, hurt. But he tries his best to ignore this feeling. He isn't very succesful. He has spent almost a year with Dick Grayson as his Batman, and took acting classes. He's better at showing his emotions, now. He has pets and he finds himself caring very deeply for them. Although he's still trying to adapt to his father's Batman. Damian feels... dissapointed. Bruce is very different from Dick and it shows clearly. He is anxious.

Damian is 12 years old now, and he has managed to create deep bonds with his family (some of them). He also has new friends now; Colin, Maya and Suren. He learned to have fun and find hobbies for himself. He is still distant with his mother. But he finds that best for himself and others around him. The hurt slowly dissolving, yet still there. He still fights with people and tend to keep away from them. At his last months of 12 years old, Damian gains a best friend. Jonathan Kent. He finds Jon to be a bit much but still enjoys his company deeply. It's weirdly endearing to be his friend. Life is going better than he ever expected. He is, for the first time in his life, happy.

On Damian's 13th birthday, only Alfred remembers. He bakes him a silly colorful cake and makes him wear a stupid party hat. He loves it. He thought he'd be sad or angry when his father, inevitably, forgots about it. He isn't. With each passing year he finds himself getting closer and closer to the old man. Damian finds him comforting. Alfred is always there no matter what. A constant in his life and although he'd never say it out loud, he thinks of Alfred Pennyworth a father figure. Jon and him now go by Supersons. A silly name that makes him smile just a little whenever he thinks about it. He now knows what love is. He loves Alfred Pennyworth, he loves Jonathan Kent, he loves Dick Grayson, he loves Stephanie Brown and he loves Maya Ducard. He sees them as not a family, but a part of himself. People actually start treating him well and seek out for him. It doesn't last long though. Alfred dies, and his family breaks apart. His father blames him, and so he leaves the manor. He now lives in a safehouse, and goes after criminals. He doesn't know what to do from now on, so he waits for the right moment. He is devastated.

A few weeks before his 14th birthday, Damian Wayne leaves Gotham. He no longer wishes to live in this hellhole that harbors the best years of his life. He seeks out his mother in an attempt to reconnect with her and finds more than what he asked for. He doesn't tell anyone of the hallucinations. No one. He is dead. It isn't real. Not anymore. His mother sends him to an island full of people like him. Murderers, psychopaths and assassins. He meets an unexpected old face. And surprisingly, he makes friends. After dying yet again, he finds himself drawn to it. The moment when Flatline ripped his heart out of his chest, he felt terrified. Not of death, but of Hell. That doesn't happen though. He doesn't go to Hell. He doesn't go to anywhere really. The death itself didn't even hurt. He feels... lighter. It might sound sick, but Damian feels better after coming back. Almost like a punishment of his past sins. It cleanses him inside out and he seeks for another. A few days later Hawke breaks his neck and kills him. Again. And Damian finds it hilarious, since it was the same way that Alfred had died. He doesn't care for the death. He finds himself not hurting anymore. Not scared. He makes even more friends. They have so much in common with him... Damian Wayne feels death, and finds it freeing.

For someone who brags about their subtleness, precision, and finesse, the Shaw siblings are all show-offs and attention seekers.

They really are!!

When introduced, all the Shaws are shown to be the utmost badasses around!

But when we see them on screen, they're badass, but absolutely RIDICULOUS

Owen?

Monologues to Dom for several minutes and gets to live out his life time dream of being a melodramatic villain

Deckard?

Doesn't even manage to kill one member of the crew, but manages to bring down how many buildings? How many explosions did he cause?

Hattie?

Immediately gets a wig and fights a guy 2 heads taller than her, and 3 times her weight. And she keeps fighting! The whole time delivering quips!

These three can be excellent spies/criminals/badasses, but when it comes down to it, all three are attention seekers

When they know they have someone to flaunt to, they will

Usually to potential mates

So, basically.

The Shaws are peacocks

Loud, obnoxious, and extremely noticeable when they want to be
