Bruce Meets His Son: Damian (Part 1)

Talia: Bruce, this is Damian. Damian, this is Bruce.

Damian extended his hand for a handshake. Bruce obliged but was unsure why he’s being introduced to the young child.

Damian (confused): Why is he dressed like a bat?

Talia (mock sweetness): It’s his thing.

Bruce (offended): Okay, you don’t have to talk about me like I’m not here. Why are you showing me this child?

Jason, standing behind Bruce, covered his mouth, chuckling.

Talia: He’s my son.

Dick (instant realization): He’s your son? That is your son? Which means... Oh wow. Wow!

Dick started to laugh, but stopped when Bruce gave him a confused stare. He turned back to Talia and Damian.

Damian (waving): Hello.

Bruce (not putting two and two together): Hi... And Talia?

Dick: Oh... Oh, you don’t get it?

Jason: He doesn’t get it. Hahahaha!

He indeed did not understand what was going on.

Talia: Bruce, I’m going to hold your hand when I say this.

Talia took Bruce’s gloved hand. Ra's al Ghul walked over, holding up a camera to record the exchange. Dick and Jason stood by, eager to see how Talia would word her revelation.

Talia: He is my son... and he is your son.

Bruce blinked, not responding. He heard what she said but wasn't sure what to say in return. He looked down at Damien again and this time he's able to see the resemblance to both of them.

Damian (confused): The guy in a giant bat suit is my father? This is the Bruce Wayne?

Damian tapped his chin thoughtfully.

Damian: Not the craziest thing I've had to deal with. Although, mother when you said he was odd about what he wears I did not expect this.

Talia nodded, but when Bruce didn't say anything she was concerned with his silence.

Talia (concerned): Bruce, are you going to say something?

Dick: Bruce?

Bruce gulped. Jason clapped while laughing.

Jason: This is great. I’m so glad I got to witness this today.

Bruce (finally speaking): I’m sorry. I must have hallucinated when you said the little boy standing in front of me is my... son.

Talia (repeating herself): Bruce, he is your son.

Bruce (in disbelief): No, he’s not.

Jason (enjoying this): There’s the denial.

Talia (exasperated): Here we go again. Yes, he is.

Bruce (panicked): No... no, he’s not. I can’t have kids; my swimmers are broken.

Damian: Swimmers?

Talia quickly covered Damian’s ears.

Talia: They most certainly are not. That prophylactic was though!

Dick: You can have kids? Prophylactic? The condom broke?!

Jason: I know, right!

Dick couldn't hold in his laughter anymore and now he started cacking along with Jason.

Bruce (stammering, denial): He’s not... I’m not... The kid is not my son.

Talia (uncovering Damian’s ears): Yes, he is! I got a DNA test done! He is your child. I have your blood from a... not important, but he is yours! The baby is yours!

Damian: I’m 8.

Dick (laughing): Oh God.

Bruce (in a state of shock): 8?

Bruce remembered that night, the night of regret a wallet that had one gas station condom and now he was linked to her forever.

Talia: Mm-hm, remember when you were really sad and I was there to comfort you and one thing led to another? Surprise. Damian, hug your father.

Damian: Um, okay, I have been planning for this.

Damian hugged Bruce who at this moment was wearing his Batman suit and his son who he just found out about was hugging him. The son he now shares Talia is hugging him! Jason walked around laughing and clapping again.

Ra's al Ghul (continuing to record the reaction): She unfortunately speaks the truth. I’m disappointed you share DNA with him, but we have the test. He’s... yours.

Bruce had a million swarming thoughts in his head but all he could think was that the son he did not know about was around Ra's Al Ghul for 8... Years!

Damian (surprised): The guy dressed as a bat is my father? I’m sorry to repeat myself, but he’s dressed like a bat. It's so odd.

Ra: I know. I know.

Dick: Bruce, say something other than “No, he’s not” or “He’s not mine.”

Bruce stood stunned and silent. His oldest son waved his hand in front of his face.

Dick: Oh, he’s actually speechless.

Talia (sighing): To be expected. Jason, I’ll send you a video of his reaction like we discussed.

Jason: Thank you.

Dick: You knew?!

Jason (laughing): For 8 years! Yes!

Damian: Hi akh brother Jason.

Jason waved at Damian as Dick was trying to adjust to the fact that Jason knew for 8 years.

Dick: Why didn’t you say anything?

Jason: I was fucking furious with him and wanted revenge, and this... this is the best revenge. Long-term silent revenge is my new favorite thing.

Dick: I’ll deal with you in a second. Bruce, are you with us?

Bruce fainted, falling backward. Damian looked down at the man in the batsuit.

Damian: I’m not sure I want him to be my father.

Ra (ending the recording): I agree with you, child, but it is what it is.

He walked off with the camera.

Ra: I’m going to burn this onto a DVD and keep a copy.

Talia (frustrated): You do that, father.

Dick walked over to Damian, stepping over Bruce.

Dick: Um, Bruce is just a bit shocked that he can actually have kids without adopting them. He’s a good guy, though.

Damian: Are you sure about that? Jason told me he was ‘not bad.’ I’m not really seeing it.

Dick glared at Jason. Jason shrugged with a smile. Dick turned back to Damian. Damian lightly kicked Bruce’s leg, but the man can only twitch while remaining unconscious.

Dick: Not bad is actually a good description for him, he’s an amazing crime fighter and usually can compose himself. I’m Dick, by the way. I guess we’re brothers.

Damian: That’s your legal name?

Dick (upset, but hiding it): My birth name is Richard Grayson.

Damian: Why do you go by—

Talia and Jason: Don’t ask.

Dick groaned in annoyance and then held out his hand. Damian shook it respectfully, still perplexed by his strange new family—which says a lot.

Hi guys

[bearsandbeansart]

i totally didn't forget to finish this and give it a real background and shading, what are you talking about?

Ah, Entrapdak Positivity Month snuck up on me despite me trying to be on top of things, but at least I have something! This is for today's prompt, Kiss.

im watching she-ra (belatedly i know) and am already obsessed and spoilered to hell but im on s2 e7 and i just need to say that lance is so james potter coded

[talesofaduelist]

IM SO FUCKING HEATEDDDD

Let me cook okay?

So, I finally watched DSOD for the first time in Japanese.

WTF.

They changed sooooo much when they dubbed it like I want to scream at a fucking wall. Do I think the dubbed version is good? Yes. Do I think the story is good? Absolutely.

HOWEVER

The original Japanese version keeps all the emotion and drama. It really dives deep into the Prana (Plana) storyline (Which was honestly hella confusing in the dubbed version) and Kaiba's will and determination to see Atem again actually makes FUCKING SENSE instead of him just being a sore loser and wanted to battle him again.

He created the new duel disk TO TRANSCEND DIMENSIONS. Something that I feel gets sorely overlooked in the dubbed version.

But it isn't just Kaiba...it's Yugi too.

In the dubbed Yugi talks about missing him and this and that...but the original it hardly talks about him because he's trying his best to FORGET HIM! Jonouchi literally calls him out on it when he's looking at his deck on the bridge before saving Aigami. To me in the original, that is just Yugi's way of coping with the loss. In the dubbed it made him seem weak? In a way I guess. But let us not forget.

YUGI IS THE KING OF GAMES...NOT ATEM.

I have more thoughts but like, I'll just get more heated. Please, I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way. Why did I deprive myself of the original for so long?!

Don't get me wrong. I love the dubbed version. It will always have my heart because it is what I grew up with and I love the script. I just wish they would have kept at least SOME of the drama and passion that the Japanese original has always carried.

If you made it this far....thanks for letting me cook. <3

Ra'sTim fic idea:

// Omegaverse, no capes AU:

So that cover of Damian playing soccer has me thinking about an AU where Tim and Ra's have never met before.... 👀

Tim is the omega child of Selina, who just started dating Bruce, Talia's ex husband. But Talia and Bruce are on good terms, and have given Damian a very nice childhood. Talia has been mainly supported by her dad, alpha Ra's, who has been a widow for over 20 years now and focused on his family ever since. While they're all aware Bruce is dating Selina, there has been no proper introduction whatsoever between the three families (the al Ghuls, the Waynes and the Kyles).

Until one day, during a soccer game, Damian's team wins. This ends on a party, which Talia and Ra's attend gladly, congratulating the 9yo pup on his discipline on the sport. Damian then introduces them to Jon, his best friend in the team, and Jon introduces Talia and Ra's to the couple that went to watch him in the game: Kon and Tim.

Kon and Tim aren't actually a couple, they are just very good friends since forever, and since Jon's parents are off the city, Tim agreed to make company to Kon and encourage little Jon so that the pup wouldn't feel left out. Kon is Jon's half older brother, child of Clark's previous marriage, and Kon really didn't want to be alone at Jon's game.

So, yeah, long story short: 9yo Jon points at Tim happily and says Tim is their neighbour, and that he likes Tim very much because he makes very good cookies. Tim giggles, shaking Talia's hand first and then promising Jon some cookies for winning the game. Damian asks if he can some too, and suddenly there's a whole conversation going on between all of them except Ra's. Ra's, whose brain just stopped working at the sight of such a pretty, mesmerizing omega.

He regains composure quickly, smirking with certain flirting when Tim turns to see him, blushed and ashamed. "I'm sorry, I didn't greet you!" Tim murmurs with a nervous smile, hurrying to take Ra's' hand. The alpha takes it, but rather than shake it, he dares to take it up his lips, giving a soft kiss to Tim's knuckles.

The omega gasps, cheeks red.

"Don't worry, Timothy. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The mutual interest doesn't go unperceived by anyone, but neither Talia nor Kon approve of it, and avoid letting the two love birds alone. In the end, Ra's has to go to extreme measures, and discretely give a note to Damian with his name and phone number, sending it to Tim via the pup's hands, who is easily bought with the promise of ice cream for dinner.

Tim and Ra's starts messaging each other, and for a few days that's all they do before Ra's asks him out on a date. But funnily enough, just the day before their agreed dinner, they run into each other at a park, Ra's babysitting Damian and Tim babysitting Jon again. The two pups go and play together, giving Ra's and Tim the perfect excuse to sit together under the shadow of the trees and talk for hours.

Anyway, I might write this properly later, but for now this is it. Of course this is followed by Ra's and Tim going out for a few weeks, having fun, kissing... Until Bruce has his engagement party to Selina, and Tim discovers the Damian pup Selina mentioned that Bruce had, is the same Damian that he just met. It's awkward, and it brings some tension to all the families, to the point both Ra's and Tim consider breaking up... But their love's stronger, and they decide to stay together even if it's difficult.

In the end it's funny. They laugh at life's coincidences, and Damian is their supporter number 1 (they bought the pup with sweets and toys). For the rest of their lives, they are very happy to have attended that children's soccer game.
