My little fic based off this prompt I posted

Dick Grayson had a plan. A simple, foolproof plan, in fact. Tonight at the gala, he’d execute it flawlessly, and Bruce would finally see that he belonged with Selina Kyle.

At the dessert table, he stood on his tiptoes, pretending to be engrossed in the chocolate fountain, but really, he was scouting for the perfect moment. Bruce was there, chatting lightly with Selina. Dick smiled to himself; everything was aligning perfectly.

He was just about to start his plan when he heard it.

“Beloved.”

The single word sent a ripple through the air. Dick froze, feeling a strange tension behind him. He spun around just as Bruce turned at the sound, a smile breaking across his face.

“Darling,” Bruce greeted warmly, stepping forward to hug the mysterious woman.

Dick blinked in disbelief. It couldn’t be.

“I didn’t know you’d be here tonight,” Bruce said, the warmth in his voice catching Dick off guard.

“It was impromptu,” the woman—Talia, Dick realized with a sinking feeling—replied, her voice soft yet confident. “I’m here because I missed you.”

Bruce pulled back just enough to look into her eyes. “I missed you too,” he murmured.

Dick’s head swam. Wait, what? He hadn’t accounted for this. Not at all.

“And how’s your father?” Bruce asked with a chuckle, his hand still resting on Talia’s waist.

Talia’s eyes sparkled. “He doesn’t have to know where I am all the time.”

Meanwhile, Dick’s perfect plan evaporated in front of him. He glanced nervously at Selina, expecting her to react. But she stood still, her jaw tight, her eyes narrowed just slightly as she watched the exchange unfold.

Finally, Bruce and Talia seemed to remember the rest of the room existed. Bruce gently pulled Talia closer and turned toward Dick and Selina, clearing his throat. “Dick, Selina, I’d like you both to meet Talia. She’s—”

Selina smiled tightly and extended her hand. “We’ve met before,” she said coolly.

Talia smiled politely and took her hand, shaking it with a nod. “Yes, at the gala in London. Lovely to see you again.”

Selina’s gaze flicked toward Bruce and lingered just a second too long before she smiled once more. “Likewise.”

Dick stared at Talia, still processing the scene. How is Bruce being so normal about this?

“Talia, this is Dick,” Bruce added, his voice softer. “My son.”

Talia’s smile softened. She crouched down to meet Dick at eye level, her hand still resting in Bruce’s. “I’ve heard so much about you, Richard. Bruce talks about you all the time.”

“Uh… you too,” Dick stammered, feeling completely off balance. Bruce had mentioned Talia before, but he’d been too focused on his own agenda to pay attention. Now, all those moments flooded back. The name, the stories… how had he missed the significance?

As the evening progressed, Talia stayed by Bruce’s side, and the ease between them was undeniable. Bruce couldn’t stop looking at her, couldn’t stop holding her hand, like he was afraid she might disappear at any moment. Dick followed them throughout the night, his emotions spiraling between confusion and irritation.

Selina remained in the background, her smile growing more strained with every interaction. Dick could see it—the jealousy flashing in her eyes whenever Bruce’s attention lingered too long on Talia.

At one point, Talia laughed softly at something Bruce said, and Bruce leaned in, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. Dick saw the way Selina’s eyes flicked to the side, the slight clenching of her jaw. It was clear as day.

By the end of the night, when most of the guests had left, Bruce turned to Talia, his hand resting on her back.

“I’ll walk you to your car,” he offered, his voice low.

Talia smiled up at him, her eyes filled with something unspoken but heavy with meaning. “Only if you agree to meet me tomorrow,” she teased gently.

Bruce’s smile softened. “Of course. Tomorrow.”

They left together, and Dick stood there, feeling like the ground had shifted beneath his feet. His carefully laid plan was in shambles, and now he was left questioning everything. He had been so focused on Bruce and Selina that he hadn’t even considered someone like Talia, someone who made Bruce smile like that.

The next morning, Dick was still stewing when Bruce came downstairs. He moved with a certain lightness, clearly in a good mood. He’d been up early, probably already planning his meeting with Talia.

“So, you mentioned Talia before,” Dick said cautiously as they sat down for breakfast.

Bruce looked at him, smiling fondly. “I have. Many times, actually.”

Dick furrowed his brow. “I just… didn’t realize how important she was to you.”

“She is,” Bruce admitted, leaning back in his chair. “But that doesn’t mean other people aren’t important too, Dick. It’s not always one or the other.”

Dick, feeling a wave of embarrassment. “I guess I just thought… you and Selina…”

Bruce’s face softened. “Selina and I are friends, Dick but it’s different. Talia… well, she’s special.”

Dick didn’t fully understand it, not yet. But the look in Bruce’s eyes when he talked about Talia—there was no mistaking it.

The rest of the day passed in a blur, but by evening, Bruce was getting ready to leave again. This time, Dick watched him from the window as he headed out the door, his usual stern demeanor gone, replaced by something more relaxed. Happy, even.

And as much as Dick hated to admit it, maybe Bruce was right. Maybe it wasn’t about who was best for him in theory—maybe it was about who made him feel like that.

Have you guys ever thought that the batkids uses Bruce's love for Talia to benefit themselves?

Bruce will try and act responsible in front of child Jason and teenage Dick saying he can't get them everything they asked for at the mall (he will most definitely be buying them those items later) but Talia comes up and mentions she saw a cute diamond necklace now Bruce's money is unlimited. They now realize Bruce will do anything to make Talia happy.

Once when Dick was 17 he tried to convince Talia to sweet Bruce up and ask him if he could allow him to get a tattoo. Talia refused right off the bat.

As Red Hood when Jason is planning to mess up he cooks Talia's favorite meals so she can defend him to Bruce later.

Damian wants another pet, he goes to Bruce and mentions that Talia adores that animal. The next day Bruce has a new pet wrapped in a pink bow.

Even Alfred uses Bruce love for Talia to get him to sleep and eat.

Damian Wayne and Rubeus Hagrid would be best friends. Allow me to elaborate

It would maybe go like this: Damian is having a bit of trouble taking care of Goliath and nowhere in his unusual and extensive curriculum was he taught how to take care of baby dragon bat. Naturally he does some research and comes across Rubeus Hagrid, who by now has made a good reputation for himself as expert on all things magical creatures.

He convinces Bruce to take them to England for a few weeks and sneaks away to corner Hagrid outside of a bar, demanding to be taught about the proper care of dragon bats.

Hagrid is immediately charmed by the open care and love Damian has for all animals, not just the ones that fit a certain standard (it also doesn’t help that Damian reminds him painfully of a younger Harry with his sharp green eyes and thirst for knowledge. Hagrid did not stand a chance)

He takes Damian back to his cottage, watching as the hard shell Damian has built around himself immediately fades away when he meets Fang. They immediately take to each other, the old dog looking more lively than he’s been in years as Damian starts ranting about his own dog Titus and his array of other pets while Hagrid makes them some tea.

They sit down and Damian takes a sip of his tea, immediately spits it back out and becomes the first person ever to have the heart to inform Hagrid that his food sucks. Instead of being offended, Hagrid laughs so hard he starts crying because all the faces people were making while eating his food suddenly make sense and he can’t believe in all these years nobody has bothered to tell him! They strike an agreement that Hagrid shows and teaches Damian about all the magical creatures he knows and in exchange, Damian teaches him how to improve his cooking so that it becomes halfway edible.

Damian makes then a new batch of tea, listening intently while Hagrid takes over the talking and tells him all about the development stages of dragon bats, even offering to house Goliath if things get out of hand, and offers to buy some supplies from Diagon alley for him that Goliath would like. (For the sake of simplicity: the statue of secrecy has been long lifted and British wizards live freely amongst the population). Damian has never been so impressed in his life when Hagrid mentions the giant three headed dog he calls Fluffy and suggests to set up a play date with Goliath and Fluffy when Goliath is old enough to fly.

When Damian sneaks back to their hotel room to a pissed off Bruce, he explains where he’s been manages to only get two weeks no patrol as punishment (Bruce is barely holding himself together from aweing out loud) and insists that Bruce come with him to Hagrid’s the next day.

Bonus:

Hagrid immediately recognises Bruce (despite not recognising Damian) and Bruce is panicking thinking their identities are busted (cause how can he explain to the media how Bruce Wayne’s son come in possession of a dragon bat??). Father and son then proceed to be utterly gobsmacked when Hagrid goes “yer pennyworths kid aren’t ya!” And explains how he’s recognised Bruce from a photograph Professor McGonagall showed him of her old military friend who writes to her every now and then.

Bonus 2:

Bruce comes to bitterly regret ever letting Damian hang out with Hagrid cause instead of sneaking in normal animals like cows, Damian has started finding and collecting magical creatures around Gotham and now that he’s aware and looking for them, they are everywhere. The headaches Bruce gets rival no other.

I think we can all agree that Damian has always canonly been a vegetarian. However, there seems to be this misconception that it automatically means he’s vegan. Before getting into the reason why this isn’t the case, let me explain the difference between a vegetarian and vegan.

Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet where you abstain yourself from consuming any or from animals. Vegetarian is a broad kind of diet where you avoid meat in general, but can make exceptions to dairy, eggs, fish or insects. There are different types of vegetarians with the most familiar type being Lacto-ovo-Vegetarian.

I could be mean and point out the foods he’s seen eating that could be a vegan or veggie variety. However, I will use evidence that confirms that the products he’s eating or drinking are NOT the vegan variety.

When Branden offers milk to the Kent’s, notice how he says, “I have my own cow.” He’s not saying he doesn’t drink milk. He clarifies he only gets milk from his own cow, Bat Cow.

Considering Bat Cow willingly gives her milk to strangers, this makes sense. Why wouldn’t Bat Cow give Damian her milk?

The next is this. Look what Damian specifically asks for: a glutton free veggie pizza. I decided to look up the ingredients to this kind of pizza and these are the ingredients. Keep in mind these are the ingredients to the pizza Damian specifically ASKS for that cater to his vegetarian diet. So, any ingredients that would NOT apply to the vegan diet do apply.

The only vegan part of the pizza that’s called for is the crust. Most of the ingredients calls for diary such as cream cheese and sour cream. Others call for yogurt, ranch and cheddar cheese. This is why pizzas with vegan friendly ingredients are called Vegan Pizzas and not just Veggie Pizza. Why Damian asked for the pizza to be glutton free could be due to possibly being self-conscious about his weight or not wanting his siblings to eat his entire pizza since he’s more restricted than him. Either way, Damian is certainly not ordering a vegan pizza.

Why is this important to Damian’s character to be a vegetarian and not a vegan? It all comes down to Bat Cow. His mortal obligation to became a vegetarian is much more personal than others that become vegans or some form of vegetarian. To understand this, we need to go back to the story that led to Damian’s change in diet.

The illegal slaughterhouse Damian ransacked with his father was an illegal one ran by the Leviathans. The Leviathans placed a target on Damian, being a bounty was set on him at the time. This is what led to the slaughterhouse. This same man, who targeted and almost killed Damian, was about to run off with Bat Cow when Batman and Robin stop him. From then, Damian decided to keep the cow, change his diet and call her Bat Cow.

Both Damian and Bat Cow were both being targeted to be killed when they first met. This is how Damian is able to reach out to Bat Cow. Damian is making this choice with the understanding that Bat Cow will see any human that consumes meat no differently than those that slaughtered her family. By changing his diet, Damian is becoming someone Bat Cow can trust won’t hurt her like in the slaughterhouse.

Understanding this, we can then understand why consuming milk, eggs or dairy doesn’t apply here. This picture is what Damian does not want to be seen as in Bat Cow’s eyes. Nowhere do we see milk, diary or eggs being eaten here. Therefore, eating diary and eggs do not apply to Damian’s diet. So long as those things are freely given and no lives are taken, Damian will not restrict himself from consuming milk, eggs or any eatable products from the animal itself.

Now, I don’t mind Damian being any type of vegetarian that eats/drinks diary from Bat Cow only and eats eggs from Jerry (if female) or Wiggles only. I only have a pet peeve over claiming Damian’s Vegan or a type of Vegetarian that restricts himself from anything his pets willingly give him. The reason is because by restricting Damian as Vegan, it restricts his relationship with Bat Cow, who willingly gives her milk to those who need it. By providing milk for Damian, she’s helping and providing for the one who saved her and gave her a better life.

Most Vegans live in the city where they depend on food from the grocery store. Veganism started around the 20th century when factories and grocery stores began growing and monopolizing their products. However, Vegetarianism has been around for thousands of years. At the time, everyone raised their own livestock. If anyone became a Vegetarian for religious or moral obligations, there was no point in abstaining diary or eggs, being they milked their own milk and gathered their own eggs or else their neighbor’s. There was no concern over how the cows, goats, chickens, quail or turkeys were treated because the Vegetarian was caring and were responsible for their own animals.

If Damian is raising Bat Cow, he has no reason to avoid milk. Same with getting eggs. If Damian gets his eggs from Jerry or the Kent farm, those eggs are not provided through inhuman ways. He might be paranoid enough to only eat foods with dairy ingredients he provides from Bat Cow, but I can’t see Damian completely restricting himself from anything that could be provided to him more humanely. If we truly believe Damian restricts himself to Veganism, aren’t we claiming he can’t get his own milk, cheese, yogurt, etc. from his own cow or eggs from his turkey more humanely? I think Damian would be insulted by us and say…
