Damian didn't mean to.
But looking at the horror on Batman's face, he also knows it doesn't matter.
Someone had managed to sneak up on him, immediately after a fight.
Damian, exhausted and wounded and ever so slightly drugged by fear toxin, reacted.
He'd spun around and run his katana through the attacker-but it wasn't an attacker. It was a civilian, who was staring down at the sword in his chest with a stunned expression.
The civilian looked up, blue eyes meeting Damian's through the mask.
"I was just..." The man trails off, dropping the first-aid kid he'd been carrying.
Damian knows his time as Robin is over.
Danny, on the other hand, can already feel his healing factor trying to kick in, and just needs to figure out how to convince Robin to remove the Katana so it can work without letting Batman know he's a meta.

Saw this question appear on the main page of reddit and HMMMMM
However, the court said, "The crime was cruel, including brutally murdering a woman living with him at home, and he was not forgiven by the bereaved family. However, it appears that he committed the crime accidentally out of anger while experiencing extreme stress such as noise between floors, and he reported it to the police immediately. The sentence was decided in consideration of the fact that the family of the accused paid the bereaved family compensation.”
[...]
The bereaved family said, "What kind of parent would give up her child's life in exchange for 42 million won?" and appealed, "My 24-year-old daughter, who had been sick all her life, was in pain even in her last moments. Please help us."
Stabbed his girlfriend 190 times, non-fatally harmed himself then immediately called emergency services so they could treat him, showed no remorse, even said in his disposition that he thought of killing his girlfriend that day, the neighbors he was beefing with moved before this so the claims he was upset about them being noisy could not be true, and there's no proof the girlfriend even insulted him like he claimed, but the judge found he committed this clearly premeditated crime 'accidentally'. And people wonder why women in South Korea are upset?

Whumptober, day one
YAY!!! First day of @whumptober Lets see how this goes YUDJUHDDHJ
-
No. 1: “But now this room is spinning while I’m trying just to fill in all the gaps.”
Safety Net | Swooning | “How many fingers am I holding up?
-
Sidekick stumbled backwards as Villain advanced towards them. They could hear their own heartbeat in their ears, thumping loudly as if crying out for help.
“Give it up, kid. Tell me where Hero is and you and I can get along.”
Sidekick took a shaky breath before slowly bring up their fists, ready to fight as they got their footing back, “Not happening,” they rasped, hating themself for how weak their voice sounded, “I'm not going to stop fighting back.”
A cruel smirk cracked along Villain’s lips as they raised their fists too, “Me neither.”
This time, Sidekick lunged forwards first. They went to swing at the villain but their wrist was quickly grabbed, along with their other one before Villain drove their knee up into Sidekick’s stomach.
Sidekick cried out as they hunched over, only resulting in them being kneed in the face. They fell to the floor, not getting any break as Villain was quick to straddle their hips, delivering punch after punch.
Sidekick screamed out, letting out all their energy, grabbing both of Villain’s wrists before throwing them off of them. This time they straddled Villain’s hips. They shot out their witch blade, placing it just at Villain’s throat as they caught their breath, “You- you're going to leave me alone,” Sidekick growled, surprising themself at their own tone, “You're going…gonna leave me and Hero alone.”
Villain simply scoffed, “Oh please, you think you scare me? You're nothing but a weak link to Hero. They only hired you because they felt sorry for you.
And that was when Sidekick did something they were trained not to do. They let it sink in. Their grip on Villain loosened and they gulped. But Villain then turned Sidekick to the floor, snatching the blade from the other’s hand and drove it into Sidekick’s torso, ripping a scream from the other.
“Damn, I really thought we would get along,” Villain hummed, “Welp! See you around kid,,, or not,” Villain giggled before running off to the shadows who engulfed their figure- leaving Sidekick by themself.
Sidekick was gasping for breath, shaking hands pressing down onto their wounds as they broke down into sobs, god, they were pathetic.
Rustling from a nearby bush made Sidekick flinch, only further upsetting their wound as they whimpered. “Ple-please, Villain, I-I swear I don't kno-”
“Sidekick?”
Sidekick’s eyes blew open, “Hero?!”
The hero ran over kneeling beside their sidekick as their face contorted in guilt, “Oh, bud… I'm so sorry…” They took in their sidekick who lay on the ground, sweat coating their face and hair, skin paler than usual and blood everywhere.
“It's okay, you're gonna be okay, buddy.”
Sidekick whimpered and nodded, leaning into the gentle touch in their sweat-soaked hair, “Hu-hurts..”
“I know… I know, I’ll make it stop hurting soon, we just need to bring you back the the HQ, alright”?
Sidekick nodded slowly, their eyes fluttering closed but they opened them back up at Hero’s voice, “Heyhey, don’t be falling asleep on me, it would be one boring car ride back without you talking to me.”
They both shared a laugh but Sidekick winced as their wound filled with fire. Hero gulped before they held up five of their fingers, “Hey, how many fingers am I holding up, bud?”
Sidekick squinted up as they tried to focus their vision on Hero’s hands, “Fff-fi-five?”
“Yeah! Good job! That’s how many sweets I’ll give you when we get home, got it?”
Sidekick smiled and nodded, “Th’nk you..” They were going to be alright… but Villain’s words still cut deep into their heart. They were weak…
