#BATCAVE

[the-b1ah]

Part 8 last one!! of You can’t bench me!

Whoop! Another one bites the dust, you can’t bench me if officially done!

Context:

Phantom kicked all the ass and took all the names. The crew then shuffled back to the cave to get fixed up.

Alfred has patched up Steph and Tim, and has moved on to Jason. Getting helmet shards taken out of your face is not fun 2/10 stars at least it’s not a crowbar.

Bruce: "One second I'm going to open up the files and show you."

Clark, wincing at the bright lights: "You okay if I turn some of this off?"

Bruce: "Go for it. Okay so here-- *bats rustle above and Bruce freezes, slowly glancing up* --uh, here you can see the evidence from the blast."

Clark, touching the screen: "There, that's what I saw at the crime scene. Is that from the shrapnel or something else? Bruce?"

Bat flaps overhead and Bruce flinched a little, distracted: "Huh?"

Clark: "Are you-- how can you still be afraid of bats?"

Bruce: "I'm not afraid of bats." *more chattering and flapping and Bruce nearly ducks* "For fuck's-- Clark, does it sound like they're closer to us now? Stop laughing."

Guys look, it's the autistic sons of Bruce Wayne and that weird blonde who's obsessed with them. (They love her so much)

Batfam Idea

What if when Dick was going through his phase (it wasn’t really a phase but for the purposes of this post that’s what I’m calling it) of naming everything “bat___”

He starts in the cave, as normal, that’s the Batcave with the batcomputer, with batfiles. And over there is the Batmobile and we fight with battarangs and—

You get the idea. Bruce tried to fight it at first but within a week he’s like “what’s the harm with theming a little more” and it’s fine…

Until it spreads to the manor.

Now he’s calling the kitchen the batkitchen, the paintings are batpaintings, and the furniture is batfurniture, and this is going to be a problem. So Bruce tries to convince him that they can’t call them that because secret identities and that doesn’t work because why would people care what we call the rooms in our house, Bruce?

Clearly that doesn’t work so he goes a different route and tells him they can’t call them bat-things because bats live in caves and underground, so the manor wouldn’t count. This stops it for a little while, until Dick gets it in head that that means all the interior rooms (no windows) are batrooms and all the other rooms (with windows) are birdrooms. If bats get the underground and enclosed, then birds get the above and open space.

This sticks and remains largely unchanged until Tim joins the family. Tim hears Dick explaining the difference between the bat and bird rooms and immediately goes “not nearly specific enough”

They then go around to each room and come up with different bird related names for them, going as far as changing the names of rooms on the floorplans and the surveillance cameras.

By the time anyone else joins or rejoins the family the rooms are physically labeled like: Warbler Sunroom, Humminbird’s kitchen, and Honeycreeper hall.

Alfred kind of loves it and helped them choose little signs that don’t clash with the manor’s existing style.

Bruce, on the other hand…. He wants to hate it, he really does, but it does make it easier to reference specific parts of the manor without having to give specific directions like “the 22nd room on the second floor in the east wing, with the portraits of blah blah blah” he can just say “the woodpecker’s den” and they all know exactly what he’s talking about.

Why is this relevant?

Imagine, if you will, Bruce trying to explain this to people who don’t live in or frequent the manor. Imagine he’s in an interview and he’s telling a story about something his kids did and he’s slips in, “and so I got to the Flamingo’s hideaway and—“ and the interviewer interrupts like “you got to the what’s huh???”

And now you have Bruce blushing and stammering, genuinely because he didn’t mean to let anyone know about this, but it’s become habit to refer to the rooms like this and..

Idk I just think it’s a fun lil’ concept

So to recap: Bruce didn't put any Robin stuff in Jason's coffin cause secret identities, but he did put his full name on the Robin memorial in the cave.

[violent138]

The Batcave is the one place Bruce can truly unwind and drop the whole 'unbreakable' act he has going to assess his injuries, patch up the Batmobile, repair his suit, test out prototypes, and fail. That's why he's so annoyed when the kids bring strangers into it.

*Batfam all crowded in the cave, getting ready for patrol. Tim sitting at the batcomputer doing his homework*

*Dick arrives in, glancing at the homework over the top of his head and putting a gentle hand on his shoulder*

Dick: Hey, JJ. I'm gonna go out with the others tonight, but let me know on the coms if you need any help with your homework.

Batfam:

JJ (sitting with the chair slightly too high so his legs can swing, doodling in the margins): Okay.

Batfam:

Jason: How long have you been...

*Stares at JJ for a moment*

Jason: You know what? Nevermind.

*JJ seems to ignore them, but his lips twitch into a tiny smile*
