#Imagine Bruce's favorite child is just the fucking starfish

The Favorite Child

(This is not an OG concept, it's very much inspired 👍)

Dick knew that he wasn't the favorite child. Maybe he had been once, a long time ago, but he saw the way Bruce had lightened the moment he met Jason. The kid might've stolen his tires, thrown a tire iron at him, and called him a 'Big boob' the first time they met, but Bruce had just simply laughed and brushed it off. Plus at the end of it, he still had the kindness to send Jason to a respectable, expensive school to get him off the streets, and when it was revealed that the school was teaching these kids to be criminals Bruce had immediately gone to get Jason away from all of the corruption. Even as Jason grew and it became apparent that he was troubled, reckless, and sometimes even violent because of his past, Bruce had still tried his best to be patient and understanding to the boy. Dick had seen first hand the way that Jason's death had affected Bruce, the overwhelming and unending feelings of grief at losing another person who was close to him, and the guilt at not saving him, not being there to protect the one person he wanted to protect the most. He had watched Bruce retreat into himself, and even Alfred had defeatedly said that Bruce was acting just as he did when he lost his parents, all of those years of progress growing and healing from his traumas thrown to the wind because of a crazed man and a crowbar. Yes, Dick knew the truth. Jason was definitely the favorite child.

Jason knew he wasn't the favorite child. When he was Robin he had known it to be Dick, and after his resurrection he had thought it was his Replacement, though when the new little shit had shown up it became blatantly obvious to him that the favorite child was Damian. Of course it was, he was Bruce's biological son after all, why wouldn't he be the favorite? The kid might be an ankle-biter who swings around a sword, a trained assassin with blood splattered across his hands, but Bruce just pats his head, gives him a hug, and lets him keep filling the cave with various animals like Bat-Cow. Despite this kid clearly having the ability to kill without remorse, just like Jason himself nowadays, Bruce still wants to baby and coddle him as if he isn't the least deserving of being coddled. This kid is a trained assassin, he had been long before Bruce ever knew he existed, while the other Bat-Kids were just that when they met him. Kids. Regular, run of the mill kids. (Well, 'Regular' might not cut it what with Dick being a circus acrobat and Tim having some strange stalking tendencies. If anything Jason himself was the most normal back then, but you get the point..) And yet the tiny killer, who acts cold and unfeeling with his flashy words and hard stare, gets coddled far more then the others (at least in Jason's eyes) who were once small, sensitive, defenseless children who looked up to Batman as their saviour. Their everything. Yes, Jason is painfully aware of who the favorite is. It's Damian, no doubt about it.

Tim knew he wasn't the favorite child. He was the observant one after all, even before he started his training he had watched Bruce, followed his patrol routes each night to take photos of him, hidden in the shadows as he fought, constantly studied the hero he idolized.. From the beginning he saw the chemistry between Batman and his first sidekick, the way young Dick had stuck so close to Bruce's side through all of the battles, the graceful and fluid way in which they worked together as if they had been doing it for years, and on some nights when he was feeling bold he even got close enough to hear their banter and jokes. Perched behind the dumpsters in an alleyway, camera in hand, he listened each night as the two casually talked about eating dinner when they got home, about watching movies together in the in-house theater, about spending the holidays by each others side. They were so close that the young detective could practically see the bond holding them together, and when he moved into Wayne Manor it became even more obvious. The way that Dick had helped Bruce through Jason's death. The way that Dick would always come to Bruce's rescue, as quickly as possible, no matter what. The way that Dick is still so close to Bruce even today. Yes, of course Tim knows who the favorite is. It's obviously Dick.

Damian knew he wasn't the favorite child. Overall he didn't really care, he had no interest in being the object of his father's affection, but the fact that his father had chosen his rival as his pride and joy annoyed him to no end. If it had been Richard he might've understood, or even Todd would've been better, but his father so blatantly showed that Drake was the one he adored the most and the young assassin found it infuriating. Everyone was constantly praising Drake, saying that he was 'Sooooo smart', 'Soooooo bright', 'Sooooo cunning'. Damian tallied each time he heard Bruce compliment the nuisance, and for every kind word that was spoken, he gave his katana another strike against the sharpening stone. It wasn't just Bruce, all sorts of people kept complimenting Drake for his many 'achievements', and it made a deep seated rage boil within him every single time. He was always determined to one up Drake, he had to. He has to prove that he's superior, he's the better Robin, he's the smart one, he's the most skilled. But.. He really doesn't care about being his father's favorite. Not.. Not at all.. Yes, Damian knows which of the children his father cares for the most. It's clearly Drake.

RAISING A FAMILY WITH DIANA PRINCE WOULD INCLUDE...

So we all know that Diana loves kids right?

Well she never thought of having any of her own until you brought up the subject one night in bed  

You had just moved into your new home with her so you were both exhausted

“Diana?”

“Yes, my love?”

“...Have you ever thought of having a family?”

“Of course. I would love to have children with you”

Obviously two women can’t conceive children so you two went over your options

You could have a donor so one of you could experience what it’s like carrying a child

Or you could adopt a child

You both decide to adopt because every child deserves a second chance

She wanted a actual newborn so you found a mother who was giving up her child and you guys gave her so much support and love through her pregnancy

You were both there for her every step of the way

A few months into her pregnancy, you and Diana start buying baby clothes, diapers, bottles, etc.

The woman was having a baby boy

Diana was probably the most excited about having a boy, she knew be was going to be the most handsome little boy

Getting the baby’s nursery set up was probably the most fun part

You both painted his room a nice cream color with an ocean theme

Themyscira was surrounded by water so it felt comforting for her and she wanted that for her son

The bottom of the walls were painted blue to resemble the ocean

You bought wall stickers of shells, starfish, crabs and much more

The room had a big window so lots of natural light came in and made the room look so bright and vibrant

You and Diana had also started discussing names for your baby

After long nights of arguing over a name (playful arguments by the way)

You both finally decided on Isaiah Y/L/N Prince

No middle name because you thought it would be too long with both of your last names

Diana bought wooden letters of his name, that you both painted sea green, and hung it over his crib

The final result was so amazing

The room was perfect for a baby boy

I forgot to mention this earlier but the entire Justice League threw you guys a baby shower

Bruce and Barry planned most of it

You and Diana were so grateful to have many strong men in your life that your son could look up to

Anyway, the party was amazing

It was at Bruce’s house

He didn't even tell you guys what he and Barry had planned

So when you both got there it was very quiet and everyone jumped out and scared the living crap out of you guys

Diana might have accidentally punched Arthur (Aquaman)

Everyone had cute little party hats on and they put some on you and Diana to

You played ridiculous party games

Like that one where the guys (or girls) wear balloons on their crotch and have to pop it on someone’s butt

That was interesting to watch

As the party slowly came to an end, you and Diana started opening your gifts

Bruce bought your son a Batman suit, Batman onesie, Batman bottles, custom made Batman diapers

Basically everything had Batman on it

His grin as you opened the gifts was amazing though

Luckily Lois took a picture of him

Speaking of Lois, she bought you a photo album to place all your pictures of your son as he grows

Clark bought your little Isaiah glasses to match his, a Superman cape, and some baby formula

Barry got your son a Flash onesie (he made it himself and he was so proud) and some cute pacifiers that had all of the Justice League’s signature logo

Arthur got Isaiah a toy replica of his trident, little beanies, and lots of cute little outfits (this man has an amazing fashion sense)

Victor (Cyborg) felt very extra that day and bought a bouncy house.

He's determined to be the favorite uncle

Alfred made a stroller that can convert to a tricycle, walker, AND a high chair

He might have outshined everyone with that

After opening up all the gifts, all the guys helped you put everything in the car

You and Diana drove home even more excited for Isaiah to be born

Finally, two months later Diana gets a call that Isaiah’s mother was in labor

You got the baby bag and Diana started up the car

When you got there, the mother was still not fully dilated

You both stayed with her to help her stay calm and comfortable the whole way through

When the time came, you gave her encouraging words through the whole process and then you heard small cries

The baby wasn’t the only one crying

You and Diana were a crying mess

Diana carried the baby first and it felt like the whole world stopped

It was you, her, and the baby

No words could explain how happy felt in that moment watching Diana carry your child

You held the baby next because the mother said she didn't want to hold him or she would feel attached

The baby was taken to a different room to be cleaned up and so some tests could be taken to make sure he was healthy

Two days later, you were able to take Isaiah home

Isaiah was the happiest baby you had ever known

He started growing fast to

Soon he was crawling, saying his first words, and walking

His first word was cookie because Diana was constantly making cookies for him

Then he said momma and you two were the happiest moms ever

Unexpectedly, Barry was the favorite uncle

He was never really good with kids but Isaiah brought out a different side of him

Bruce and Victor were not happy about that

Whenever one of them would babysit Isaiah, all of the other guys would follow along to

Bruce would be at your house babysitting while you and Diana have a date night, and then the doorbell goes off

When Bruce looks through the peephole he can see Victor, Arthur, Barry, Clark, Lois, and even Alfred

So it was basically a babysitting party

More like arguing over who’s the favorite

“Me and Lois are obviously his favorite aunt and uncle”

“No you're fucking not”

“DON’T CURSE IN FRONT OF ISAIAH, BARRY”

“Great, you woke him up Bruce”

When you and Diana get home everyone is either asleep on the floor or couch while Isaiah played with his little trucks

“Momma! Mommy!”

Diana is momma, you're mommy

Isaiah wobbled on his little legs but he ran over to both of you and hugged your legs

You picked him and took him to bed while Diana woke up everyone

Once everyone left, Diana kissed Isaiah’s forehead and headed off to bed with you

You fell asleep that night with the love of your life next to you and your whole world in the next room

Soon the day came that Isaiah would start school

Diana dreaded that day so much because she wanted her baby boy by her side at all times

Diana woke up first and laid in bed hoping you would wake up late

Unfortunately, you set an alarm

Diana unwillingly then got out of bed and woke up Isaiah and dressed him

You made him a nice little breakfast for the three of you and then you headed out

The school was about five minutes away so you got there very quickly

You took Isaiah out of his carseat and you and Diana walked with him in the school to his classroom

You both met the teacher and the T.A. who were both very sweet

Diana asked many many many questions

“What college did you go to?”

“Do you have children of your own?”

“How would you deal with a bully?”

“If someone bully’s my son, can I deal with them myself?”

“Do you know all the parents? Are they well mannered people?”

She kept asking questions left and right

You finally were able to get her to leave with you until you were ready to pick Isaiah up

Diana just sat on the couch worrying while you were calmly making lunch so it would be ready when Isaiah got home

It was soon 1:30 so you went back to the school with Diana and picked up Isaiah

When his class came out, Isaiah was talking with a few other boys

Your heart completely melted because your baby boy made friends on his first day of school

Diana acted like this was the first time she was seeing him in years

Just imagine how she got on his first day of middle school, high school, and college

There are many more milestones that you both got to experience together

You and Diana were the happiest you had ever been

This was sooo fun to write. I’m pretty satisfied with how this turned out, let me know what you guys think. Mom!Diana is so cute.
