Body Swap

Note: I’m not a big Batman fam, so this is a little odd. So apparently Damian Wayne (fourth? Robin) and I swapped bodies. It starts with me in Gotham Academy. I’m used to hard work, but this is insane. I answer to the best of my ability and get everything wrong. Then I’m in a large kitchen and Bruce is yelling at me because I’m acting too different from Damian and failing. I can PHYSICALLY feel myself holding back tears as I try to express how hard this is to suddenly jump into a new body, school, and curriculum. He suddenly looks sympathetic. Then it’s nighttime and I’m locking up a restaurant. I think it might have been a pastry shop because I notice one of my school friends, a rival student of mine irl, so I let him in and give me a macaroon. Suddenly a bunch of my school peers flood in and we all sit at the tables. The boy shows me my paper from early and points out the obvious on-level ness of the answers and the advancedness of what it was asking me. I express how hard I’m trying. Then I realize that Bruce must have sent him. I go home and Bruce tells me that he has pulled me out of school for the week to play catch up. I begin crying and he hugs me.
