Martha Wayne was an honorable woman. She used her status as a Wayne to help others. Were she to arrive here, I don't anticipate my grandmother attacking anyone like that thing had.

( comparing her to it wasn't something damian had any intention of doing. just as if his own had come to life and impersonated his father - it wouldn't have been him, and therefore, there would be no reason to compare the two. but he understands where his father's fear comes from. damian doesn't have any live comparisons to work with when it comes to his father's parents. they had died long before he was even a thought. they hadn't been anyone he'd thought much of, before meeting his father. he knows the story, knows their history, but there hadn't been an emotional connection to them. and damian knows how much these two specific individuals have defined his father's path.

bruce has already laid back down, and damian - takes it as a sign to drop off the headboard to the side of the bed. grabs onto the edge of the sheets with a hesitant look on his face, before damian just - goes for it, and sighs softly as he shoves himself between the sheets and curls himself up against bruce. if he wants to disappear, he can take damian along with him. )
