Devastating

Chapter 36

"And how old are you?"

"Five, but I'm turning six soon." Mar'i couldn't help how excited she was for her birthday, it wasn't too far away!

"And your dad is Richard Grayson? Right? We're friends. He talks about you all the time."  She smiles at the thought of her papa being proud of her and telling his friends about her.

"Who's your mom? I knew your dad from before they met but he never told us about her."

Mar'i was about to answer but stopped what she was saying, she could have sworn she heard her name being called by a high but far away voice.

"Did you hear that?" She asked about to go look for her family, but she wasn't sure which way to go. Titus just kept his eyes on Charles.

"No, so what's your Auntie Nettie like? I think I've met your uncle but not her."

"She's from France. They met cause she's on a class trip, they only started dating a couple of days ago but Dami was spoiled before they were boyfriend and girlfriend."

"How was he spoiled?"

"He would steal her to paint her or hang out, but this time she came over and we made a fort! It was the best one ever! We all watched movies until we fell asleep." Mar'i said happily remembering the night before.

"She slept over?"

"Yeah, her class had to go back because of the scary thing at the mall but she and another friend got to stay because they were gonna anyways. She sleeps over by accident sometimes, and then we bake for breakfast!" Mar'i continued to supply information to the man who would occasionally look down.

"What's she like? Has she changed him?"

"She's the best! Super sweet and nice and we bake lots of stuff together. She was the one who made the fort with me! Ever since they met, uncle Dami has been happier but grumbles when she's gone. He got spoiled just like papa said he would!" Mar'i finished with a giggle.

Mar'i heard her name being called,

"Is she pretty? And what does your family think about them being together?"

"She's pretty just like my mama! Everyone loves her, but Uncle Jay Jay and Timmy say uncle Dami is in with love her." Mar'i teased just like her uncles told her to, Charles smiled down at her funny before he asked another question.

"Your mom, you said she was pretty? I haven't met her yet, whats her name?"

"She's the prettiest! Papa says so too! Her name is K-"

"Mar'i?" Mar'i turned in the direction she heard her uncle calling, he sounded worried.

"Hold on, one more question! Do you stay at Wayne Manor a lot? What do your parents do?"

"We come every weekend to spend time with grandpa, and GG Alfie, and uncle Timmy and uncle Dami and sometimes uncle Jay Jay comes to! Papa's a police officer, my mama's a model!"

"What was her name again?"

"Ko-" Mar'i turned again, she could hear Auntie Nettie and Uncle Dami getting closer- they sounded really worried.

"I'm gonna go, uncle Dami sounds worried..."

"Hey! Before you go can I get a quick picture to show your family when I see them?"

"Um-" Mar'i looked towards where her aunt and uncle were calling her from, it wouldn't hurt would it?

"O-okay." Mar'i smiled brightly at the camera as he snapped a few photos, suddenly as she smiled a bunch of other people with cameras jumped up and started taking pictures. Mar'i had to hold Titus back but they were being really mean, shouting at her and Charles did nothing.
