I can't find it now but there's a post about suspension of disbelief and how it's broken when the story starts trying to excuse it. "character gets knocked unconscious for hours but there's no further issues from this" okay đ "and actually this makes perfect sense because of this and that" um no it doesn't why are you lying to me. like i am willing to ignore the holes and the discrepancies!! all you need to do is let me and not bring unnecessary attention to it!!!
and all that is my issue with the whole robin child soldier argument. like i am willing to ignore it i am willing to engage with the fantasy literally all you need to do is NOT try to convince me that Actually It's Fine Because They Want To Do It or whatever. like literally just shut up about it and i can engage with the fantasy!!
#my dc posting#dc#robin#batman#like. if you want to tell a story and not worry abt the child endangerement thing just DONT BRING IT UP ???#all you're doing when you bring it up is telling me this is something i'm allowed to think abt when it comes to the story#and then you tell me Um Actually It's Fine ?? no! what the fuck are you talking about!!#i am tryinggggg to just have fun n read fics your lil âisnt that child endangerement and kinda fucked up?â âno actually they wouldve done i#anyways bla bla bla batman couldnt have stopped them bla bla bla''#is COUNTERPRODUCTIVEEE#dick grayson#jason todd#tim drake#damian wayne#<- tagging the robins sorry#sorry this just. this topic annoys me so much#...also ''batman couldnt have stopped them/they wouldve done it with or without him'' are literally#just factually incorrect in jason's case. he did not in fact start on his own and the only thing batman wouldve#needed to do to stop him is literally just NOT make him robin BUT- at this point im just beating a dead horse on that topic#w how many times i bring it up lmao#like. in real life you cant just knock a person unconscious for hours with no consequences on them.#but i dont care when it happens in fiction despite being not realistic!! bc its fiction!!!#unless of course the characters out of nowhere do a lil sidequest PSA abt how actually doing that is fine#and completely safe with no risks#yknow??#like if that happened id be annoyed and like no its fucking not fine why are you trying to convince me. just move on and dont bring it up#and I wont bring it up#anyway. yeah these are just some thoughts im having rn sorry its not more coherent and put-together i cant be assed rn lmao

the mh comics open up such an interesting narrative for our few surviving characters. to them, what happened in the videos was real, but to everyone else its a cool creative web series. when all of that is viewed as fiction, fans have a freedom to speculate about and invade the lives and privacy of real people. and that would be so uncomfortable and terrifying. imagine someone irl having headcanons about YOU. writing fan fiction about you and your real friends. assuming things about you PUBLICLY ! IN MASS!
wouldnt it be so cool to see a character grapple with that in like a self-reflective way? fans asking questions the muse is too afraid to ask themselves. of course, theyre the only person the answer matters to.
#like wouldnt it be so strange not only to see the terrible things that happened to u have a FANBASE#but also people wondering about the intricacies of your personal life (they view you as a character and have no idea it was real)#and youre disgusted and afraid of prying eyes#but at the same time#you never think about yourself much anyways (too painful) and realize you might HAVE TO if ur gonna be okay with what happened#spoilers um this is about. jam.#tim never took the time to deconstruct how he felt in the moment because he was trying not to die#even if he concludes he harbored some feelings (like people online suspect) what would he even do with that?#he can never go back and change it. but he can say it to himself. its something for him that nobody else NEEDS to know#but now he can understand himself a little better n form new connections#its like a culmination of my hatred for some fans NEED for things to be canon when its much more fun to leave stuff open-ended#and also my love for media adressing this in a way that actually says something abt the way we consume it#yall seen the craig and tweek episode of south park? yeah.

characters that make sense to be living in wayne manor without much if any explanation: bruce, alfred, damian, tim, cass
#so so often im reading fic n going like 'STEPH? are you insane'#bruce & alfred: yeah. self explanatory#dick: would but only under circumstances where he Has To for someone else's sake#jason: grown ass man who fights his foster dad every chance he gets#which could also be a description of dick during certain times but i digress#tim: he'd try very hard not to but i can technically imagine him ending up there without a mission related reason so he makes the cut#steph: she has a whole ass mom. disrespectful to her to pretend steph would rather live w bruce tbh#damian: yes but he'd complain about it. at least it has enough room for his personal petting zoo.#cass: enigma. she can do whatever idc enough to figure her out.#she bores me still ngl#the closest i ever got to caring about cass was when i was reading rumors about a scrapped catholic arc for her lol#duke: another where im pretty sure he ends up having relatives that he can go to and having him live w bruce instead feels odd#but also im a new earth bitch not a prime one so idk what his life is like#honorable mention: babs: are you insane. grown ass woman. only semi-recently has been deaged to hell and i do not respect that call from DC#unless she and bruce are married there is no reason for her to be there lmao#i say honorable mention bc that ones rare as hell. thank god.

hi emma! i miss the boys but willy the most atm, do you have any favorite game or interview moments of his?
hiiiiii there... can't believe how long this summer is going to feel without them tbh. BUT MISSING WILLIAM NYLANDER HOURS? okay, i got you.
one of my favorite willy vids is his leaf to leaf with jt from last year. he's just so.. chill and open and happy there idk. his laugh gets me, and it's the same in his older leaf to leaf with auston. i also love the one with zach hyman from covid times and getting to see him laidback in his own space. and then... more recently.. i have revisited the bunting and willy tim hortons drive through content 489324923 times to cheer me up. also for more serious but interesting conversation, i've loved what the leafs have done with their 3 course conversations and willy's swedish menu one was interesting!!
if you want some older days stuff, there's his 20 questions with kasperi kapanen from when they were on the marlies... that was my intro to their dynamic and i love it. (and the 20 questions from the year before that is good too.. he's just a young baby giggly cherub imo) (also peep this willy + pasta interview from back in the day... it's fascinating to dig into the old connections imo) and here's an old compilation of him laughing :') i'm sure there are fancams and vids on twitter of him, but i'm TERRIBLE at keepign track of and sorting media on twitter, my bad.
and then maybe my favorite willy video of all time bc i'm not immune to cute happy children is that iconic interview with his dad where he's in the bg squirming around and knocking shit over and laughing... cutest thing i've seen in my entire life EVER.
if you're looking for more hockey stuff, here's a fun fanvid abt his career highlights up until last year (and how bitchy ppl have been abt his career only for him to prove his worth over n over), and then here's a recent compilation of all his highlights from this year... get to relive his hockey skill and pretend like we're still watching him play. it's a crime that we're not.
anyway, hope any of that helped or cheered you up. i hate how every leaf goes dark during the off season, but i totally don't blame them. if worst comes to worst, i also scroll through their igs/twitters and just google search them or look through blogs who have them as favorites. it's rough out here missing hockey players.
#easks#willy nylander pls come back we miss u.#post a sign of life i beg#also i like that on ice interview they did at the beginning of the yr with him thats jsut like. a minute long lol.....#and ALSO any content w his dogs. god bless. or the dancing vid of him n brother.. idek where that is#ive just seen in it fancams.. or that vid of him and mitch dancing at halloween....#or that christmas market vid from EARLLLYYYY days when all the girls what pics w him KLFJSDLKF. god. love him to death#or any group vid where theyre asking questions to everyone and hes just there to say 'idk' and giggle a lot. same w media availabilities...#basically everything#but i will day the leaf to leafs are usually my go to and im obsessed w him and michael bunting as a duo (underrated imo. wish i could get#ore content of them but alas... the tim hortons vid feeds more for weeks at a time i love them)#bunts getting willy to sign his stikcs before every game... calling him his fav hocjey player all the time.... the way theyre always skatin#together in practice.s...... GOD anyway. tangent over#thank u for sending me down my own missing willy rabbithole

best moments from the tim buckley book part 2
1. tim was signed to the same label as the doors and was friends with jim. he liked jim offstage but didnt like him onstage. he thought jim was an embarrassing performer, either drunk or high all the time. tim felt he had no respect for his music and that he didnt take it seriously as a performer. he would walk out of doors live performances sometimes for that reason. his guitarist and others who've performed with tim have said that they never once seen tim give a live performance while intoxicated. i really wish this book revealed tim and jim's interactions but it doesnt. except for their regular conversations abt poetry/literature. like dude, u wrote this book and you were there!!! u were in tim's band and ur not gonna touch on that?? how did tim react when he heard the news that he died? no info on that either like why even mention jim, fool!
2. personally i rly luved reading abt the time tim went on a "america is better than england" rant at a pub in london bc they served him warm beer and he did it all in a southern accent and pretending to be from texas. the bartender punched him and threw him out. hes so stupid, the shit he said was so funny.
3. after getting kicked out from the pub he goes back to the hotel and continues another rant in the lobby about how "english rock musicians stole everything from black american musicians" (he didnt get thrown out or punched this time.)
4. dude was very destructive. crashing his car for fun/driving drunk or on lsd while ppl are riding in the car with him and all, starting fights w/ ppl, getting his friends into legal trouble. troubled boy behavior, u know how it is.
5. linda mccartney supposedly gave tim the clap (this was b4 paul). his guitarist didnt believe him so years later when he ran into her in person he asked her and she completely denied it so idk who's lying here. đ€ (altho tim did have a rep for lying and if it is a lie, im interested on why he felt the need to, like what did she do to u tim? đđ”)
6. tim would put on this sad boy persona around girls bc he liked the attention/affection he got from them. he'd go on about his abusive father and his failed marriage and how he doesnt get to see his son, like his ass didnt move to new york with some bitch named jainie and didnt abandon his wife and son in california w/o hesitation, he was so pathetic! đ
#i finished the book n dont know what 2 do w/ my life anymore!#ok so tim's guitarist wrote this book and he pissed me off so many times bc hes such an elitist#hes so unlikeable!! im sorry but the lack of common sense and observational skills is thru the roof w this mf#tim sure had to have patience w him im sure#anyways! i luv tim more than ever after reading this book#hes become my artistic mentor đ#none of my followers fw tim but in the future when someone is going thru a tim buckley phase they will appreciate this#also whats up w/ aquarius men being really into threesomes???#tim buckley

anyways knows i wouldn't be da talk of tim hortons if i wore a mask around still. the nans would spend a good ten minutes talkin bout me at least. did ya see ang's daughter. going around wit da mask on er face still. shockin. but she looks right like er mudder dudnt she.
i should give dem a lil smthn to think about as they eats their timbits n drinks their coffees. we don't have much goin on here they needs it
#this summer is looking up for me btw#i walked to tim's and didn't get stopped on the street or in the tim's by anyone#im still âtraumatizedâ (jk)by the time my creepy coworker/employer once pulled over in the Middle of the road and asked me why i looked sad#and asked me to smile.#he also randomly gave me a marilyn monroe painting like a year after i stopped working there which he said i ordered i think??? but i#definitely didn't. he just saw i had a marilyn case when i was working there (friend gave it to me) so he asked if i liked her and i said#yeah instead of explaining it's from my friend secondhand n i'm just using it just bc i need a case#so he either found a print of marilyn monroe or he made a print on canvas (the workplace is a graphic design and print shop) to give to me#i always hated working with him he was unbearable#and often told me to not get involved with boys?#and also telling me to not get married. with regret in his voice. sometimes even when his (young) son was At the workplace.#this was before he divorced but it was obvious that it was going to happen before it happened#certain middle aged people you can just tell they are miserable with their life and he was one of them#meanwhile my other coworker was also a middle aged man i think like 50 maybe#super religious but super chill. talked to me about alien sightings and hatsune miku and his wife would come in sometimes to bring him a#lunchbox n she's lovely too. anyways he never made weird comments to me about boys or asked me to smile so he's the better coworker by far#men can be lovely beings when they're not weirdos to women#anyways. that's a tangent#back to stardew

Beyond the physical though just experiencing and touching anything knew he's always a bit nervous.
Grass kinda freaked him out at first when he followed Kaze down from the rocky area where he'd found him.
Looked weird, smelled weird felt even weirder. Only after seeing Kaze walk through it (deeming it not dangerous) did he dare try but kinda did so with sort of odd hop not sure what to think of it. kind of soft but also prickly. Constantly moving and shifting beneath his feet, not like the flat smooth surface he was used to.
Still after sometime he did relax and come to quite enjoy the feel of grass.
Was def not a fan the first time trying heated food- why is it hot? why does the food hurt his mouth? food also has strange texture do not like.
Tim also 100% stuck is hand into flames / at least just over them, because so pretty and warm. Was probably warned not to do it but did it anyway (look sometimes you gotta learn the hard way)
only reason he wasn't burned or at least no scars were left was because he does at least have enough brains to 'stop doing thing when thing starts to hurt' so likely would only be a bad first maybe minor second degree that if he was a normal person might leave a slight mark but would also fade / not last but for him was quickly and easily healed up with no sign of injury.
Lad has a lot of 'firsts' ahead of him that while I'm not saying something needs to be written about each one at the same time it is something I'd love to explore more in areas
Getting him new clothes, experiencing a proper bath (and brush of his hair tbh chances are he's got a few mats in there)
Just anything really tbh
#I've kinda jumped around time a little bit just to help give more to offer with interactions but like if you ever want to do something that#takes place at an earlier point in time just list it as 'early days' or 'new arrival' Tim for any starter/ask whatever directed at that#(and even at his current point there is still a lot tim hasn't experienced as well )#ffu verse#lab!life tim#also yes nervous anxious bean that he even he isn't immune to being a dumb ass via curiosity#one can try and stop him but sometimes it's probably easier to let curiosity kill the cat so it can come back#like as long as it's not something extremely dangerous (even for him) its okay to let him learn the hard way and just experience whatever#-for himself#lad's gotta live n learn

Please Please Please (Mom! Reader x Batfam)
Don't prove I'm right~ I love that song so much. Anyways! Not extreme Yandere, but part 2 will have some. This is just the setting up for it. Also, while writing I won't lie, I forgot about Damien, so he will have a lot of showtime in the next part. FYI
TW: Cheating, slapping (Reader slaps Bruce), Reader also throws something at Bruce.
In now way do I condone partner violence. no matter how mad you get, you should never hit or throw something at your partner.
In case you have never heard this song before, first of all who are you? Secondly here is the link

Y/N had put her life on pause for Bruce and his hero complex. She is a top-model. A supermodel that is still being asked to do photoshoots, make guest appearances, and dominate the runway despite her time away from it. The strict workout regime was still her daily exercise, and she still was conscious of what she ate. Age had not affected her the way it has to some of her friends because Y/N lived to be a model.Â
Yet, she had put that on the backburner for her husband and kids. She forced her attention onto the scarred and vibrant children that her traumatized husband brought in like strays. Y/N raised them, alongside Alfred. Itâs because of them that their sons and daughters did not turn out as crooked as Bruce Wayne. A man that was full of jagged and sharp pieces, piercing the skin of whoever got close.Â
E/C eyes rolled nearly out her socket, taking a sip of the morning coffee and waiting for her youngest to come down. She ignored the nervous glances being sent her way from her sons, and instead pulled out her phone to look for a familiar contact.Â
âNone of you have anything I need to be here for, do you?â Tim and Jason quickly shook their heads, and Dick gave a nervous smile, âNot really⊠although it would be nice if you stayed here though.â Y/N raised a delicate eyebrow, and a sharp smile formed on her lips as she pressed âcall,â âAh, donât worry Dickie, Iâll come back. Iâm just going on a trip.âÂ
The person answered, and before they could start spewing curses, Y/N greeted them, âHey, Jackie! Itâs Y/N.âÂ
âY-Y/N! Whatâs going on?âÂ
âRemember those gigs you were telling me about?âÂ
âYeah?âÂ
âBook them.â The boys stood up while her manager on the other line sputtered in excitement, âReally?! Oh my gosh Y/N this is so exciting! Which ones do you want? I know you want to stay close to Gotham -heaven knows why- but I can find some in-âÂ
âAll of them.âÂ
â...what?âÂ
âBook all of them.â Jackie hummed, âSome are out of the country though.âÂ
âEven better! Pack your bags Jackie, we are gonna be gone for a while. Bring Stella too, Iâll pay for both of your tickets and lodgings.â Jackie was stuttering, âThe-the first gig in a week is Venice, Italy! Is that enough time for you to-âÂ
âLet's leave tonight.âÂ
âTonight?!â Everyone screeched, and Y/N gave her sons an annoyed look, âYes, tonight. Let's enjoy Venice like when we were young, and show Stella around. Iâm sure the two of you could use a vacation anyways.âÂ
â....Y/N, is everything okay?âÂ
âPeachy. See you tonight.â Y/N hung up, and threw her phone on the opposite end of the couch, continuing to sip her cup of coffee as the news reporter continued to talk about Batman and his risky rendezvous with Catwoman. The perfect love story.Â
The pursuer and the pursued. The cop and robber. Batman, the man of justice, and Catwoman, a thief.Â
Her jaw clenched, and her fingers tightened around the handle of the mug. The air around her was full of jitters and Dick was basically vibrating with worry, Jason focused intensely on his phone, and Tim was drinking even more coffee.Â
âUm, mom, are you⊠is thisâŠâ Dick was fumbling, trying to find the words, and Y/N smiled, âCâmon on Dickie. Itâs been a while since I went on the runway, or even in front of a camera outside of Gotham. Youâre all old enough now, itâs fine.âÂ
âWhat about Dami?â Y/N smiled sadly, âDami will be fine. Hell, today Iâll have him help me choose the jewelry and clothes that I will be packing.â
âYouâre gonna have him help you pack your bags to leave?â Tim wondered, and Y/N flinched out how terrible that sounded, âNot like that. Itâs a trip. A fashion trip and a girls trip.â Jason scrunched his nose, âMa, fucking Bruce just go caught cheating and was broadcasted across the NEWs, and youâre now leaving for a trip. Do you think Dami will understand that?âÂ
Y/N took a sip of her coffee, âHe will. Itâll be a conversation but it will be reiterated as many times as he needs to hear it. Plus, itâs not like you guys canât call me.â Damien came stomping down the stairs, dressed in the Gotham Academy Uniform, and Y/N threw on a smile that would have had actresses crying, âDami! I need your help today, so nevermind school.â Green eyes blinked in shock, his gaze taking in every one in the room before landing back on her, âAre you needing my assistance in packing?âÂ
âOnly for a trip. So thereâs no need to pack everything.â Damien nodded, âFine. I will assist you. You have an abysmal amount of jewelry and some of them are simply deplorable.â Y/N chuckled, âThanks Dami.â He went back up the stairs to change, and Y/N turned back to the NEWs where they were finally talking about something different.Â
Sighing, Y/N stood up from the couch, âIâll be in my room packing if anyone needs anything.â Silence followed her, and once she was out of earshot, Dick proceeded to panic even more.Â
+++
Sheâs in Greece now. After spending a week in Italy, a week in Iceland, two weeks in France, and now four days in Zakynthos, Greece, she knows her vacation time is limited. Y/N has been using Bruceâs card to pay for the three luxury hotel rooms, one for herself (obviously), Jackie, and Stella. Sheâs used them for the plane flight in first class, the first class train ride, the yacht to get to this island, the fancy dinners, shopping sprees, any time that she needed to put money down she was using his card.Â
Bruce is a billionaire, he doesnât care and Y/N is also a billionaire, but this is her way of being petty. Why would she waste her money?Â
A delicate eyebrow raised at the man in the mirror, followed by two of their sons and a butler dressed in a Hawaiian shirt.Â
âLady Y/N, it is great to see you.âÂ
âHey Alfie, vacation looks good on you. I highly recommend the mimosaâs here, none of them have been bad.âÂ
âHi Ma, you look relaxed.â Jason walked further into the room, taking a seat on the plush chair and grabbing a grape, and tossing some to Dick. Their oldest son smiled and waved, âCâmon mom, I know youâve been here before, but you could at least try and look like a tourist.â Y/N rolled her eyes, smiling lovingly and flicking her hair over her shoulder. She leaned close to the mirror again, rubbing sunscreen on her face and massaging it into her skin.Â
Her husband made his way a little closer as the family spread out in the room. Jason sitting in the chair, Dick on the bed, and Alfred standing near the door. Y/N sneered at Bruce through the mirror, âBringing the kids to see you get humiliated is something I would have never thought youâd do.âÂ
Bruce sighed heavily, and Y/N wiped her hands on the towel and sipped her mimosa. Piercing blue eyes, filled with exhaustion and guilt, met hers, âY/N, how much longer are you scheduled for?âÂ
âHmm, for a while Bruce,â She pretended to think, âAfter all, Iâve been wanting to get back into modeling now that most of the kids are becoming independent, and what better way to announce to the world that I am back than a hard launch.â Bruce raised an eyebrow at her, âWill it be my card youâll continue to use.â
âOf course! It's the least my darling, idiotic, and hormone-rivaling-a-teenager husband can do after that stunt, right?â The room got colder and Dick sat up straighter at the tension between his two parental figures. Y/N has always had a sharp tongue and quick wit, one she used on Bruce a lot. Rarely ever was it aimed to be hurtful though.Â
âY/N, temper.â Dickâs jaw opened and Jason made an exaggerated gasp. Alfred looked pained as Y/N whirled around and seethed at Bruce, âTemper? Temper?! Who the hell are you to tell me to watch my temper when you canât even control your own hormones?Â
âIf you wanted to see my temper you just had to fucking say so!â Dick turned to Alfred, trying to see if there was anything he could do, but at the resigned look the man gave him, the oldest son choked on a noise, âThis is a new side of mom.âÂ
âLady Y/N has always had a temper, one that rivals Master Bruce.â She looked like a puffed up cat while Bruce was cowing like a dog with puppy eyes, âWhen they were younger, she would put even the adults in their place.â Her hand grabbed the now cold coffee pot, and Dick feels like it was only because Bruce was used to stuff being thrown at him and catching things that he was able to grab the projectile before it landed on the walls and carpet. Alfred raised a brow, âSometimes that temper bleeds into other things.âÂ
Their mother was seething in front of Bruce, looking like a bull and was ready to charge into a china shop. While Bruce may not be as delicate as one, Dick has money on Y/N still doing a lot of damage if she were to charge. Metaphorically and physically. Â
âY/N, please.â Bruce tried again, only to see her get more angry. His hands were up in a placating manner, and Y/N held her own hands tense and ready to swing if he came closer.Â
âY/N, it genuinely was an accident.âÂ
â âit genuinely was an accidentâââ She mocked, purposefully making her voice annoying â-fuck off! Like your tongue going down her throat is an accident. Didnât know that could happen!â Y/N looked around again for something to chuck, while Bruce closed the space between them inch by inch.Â
âWhatâs next? Are you going to trip and accidentally find yourself between her legs with your pants down?â Jason and Dick blanched at the imagery.Â
âOver a decade of marriage, of me playing the perfect ex-model-arm-candy wife for Bruce Wayne just for you dressed in a fucking furry suit to go and makeout with another fucking furry!Â
âLike! I know we werenât in this for love, but there. Are. Still. Standards!â She enunciated each word with a swat of her hand on Bruceâs shoulder.Â
âI still have standards! You donât see me making out with anyone else do you? Even as Iâm playing Supermodel Y/N, dressed to the millions and making everyone drool, I donât go making out with them!âÂ
âHow could Batman, of all personaâs you wish to play, do that? I expected that from Brucie, not Batman, defender of Justice or whatever bullshit you spew when dressed in that gothic suit.âÂ
Bruce sighed, âY/N, it was bad timing.â He gave her a hard look, âJustice and this are different. You cannot compare the two.â The man knew he messed up once the words left his mouth and he closed his eyes in regret.Â
Jason saw the slap coming and he braced himself for the impact it would have. Bruce didnât catch it, despite him being fully capable of it, and when it landed everyone winced at the sound and the red mark.Â
âWell this is my justice. Now go away. I have a photoshoot to get ready for and you are just pissing me off!â The hand print was immaculate. One that had Jason biting back a laugh and Dick looking horrified. Y/N whirled back around to face her vanity, where all her jewelry laid on the surface, and her attention was focused back on picking which one would go with her outfit to the shoot.Â
Jason whistled when Bruce turned around to face his kids and Butler, âGood hit Ma. You should hit the other side to even it out.â Y/N gave a laugh, picking up the pearl earrings encased with gold, and she continued to pick out a necklace.Â
âJay, help me out here please.â Rough hands replaced herâs, and green eyes met furious E/C though the mirror. Using the safety of her sonâs larger frame to hide herself, Y/N slowly let herself crumble a little bit. Jason could see the anger, hurt, and sadness that was slowly turning the sclera red from holding back tears. There was a subtle shake in her shoulders and the trembling of lips, but Y/N held it together. She was holding onto it by the seams, desperately waiting for the man causing her pain to be gone.Â
When the gold clasped, Y/N reached over for her large hat and sunglasses, âEnjoy the beach. Alfie, you especially should enjoy this vacation. Donât let this stupid, untrustworthy, and manwhore of a furry disrupt it.â With that, she slammed her hotel room door on her way out, and they all listened as her heels clicked down the hall until they were out of ear shot.Â
Alfred glanced at his ward, âWell, I am not one for violence when there are disputes between partners, but I will say that one slap was well deserved, Master Bruce.â The man sighed, slightly rubbing his cheek, âI think the last time she hit me that hard was when we were in grade school.âÂ
âShe put all her body weight into that.â Dick glanced at the hand print, âWoah, I think you can see the ring too.â Jason whistled, and Bruce closed his eyes and took deep breaths to keep himself steady, reflecting on the conversation and where exactly he messed up.Â
âI think this is the third time sheâs slapped meâŠâÂ
âFourth, sir.â Bruce nodded, remembering the third time. Jason raised an eyebrow, âI only know of the time you were both 6, and you said something mean so she hit you.â Dick pouted, âI know of the one in Middle School, when you were once accused of touching her butt.âÂ
Alfred raised a brow, âThe third time was when she dropped you off at the manor after a long night of drinking and youââÂ
âThanks Alfred, thereâs no need to tell that story.â Bruceâs cheeks were now flushed from embarrassment rather than the slap on his cheek. Y/N truly has seen him through it all. When he got into fights in school, it was always her eyes he sought out after each one. Bored E/C eyes, framed by thick lashes and elegant eyeliner, always watching with a blank expression. Bruce Wayne rarely phased Y/N L/N. When he was younger, he noticed how his last name made people stumble or stutter when talking to him, allowing him to say whatever he wanted. It did nothing to Y/N, who met his gaze and taunts head on with her own witty comebacks that stuck at parts of Bruce that had him fumbling.Â
He can remember his dad, Thomas Wayne, laughing when he caught Y/Nâs sly comeback directed at Bruce after he said something about her dress. Y/Nâs own parents looked mortified.Â
Y/N L/N-Wayne was a flame that never wavered. Itâs what made her successful at modeling, and a supermodel in her first two years. That flame is what had photographers, stylists, fashion designers, and make up artists still call her up, begging for her to come back. A force of nature that had only paused for Bruce and their children.Â
âCâmon, Y/N. Even you can see the benefits of this.â The woman raised her brow at a younger Bruce, who was smiling at her.Â
âYour life does not pause, and now with the Wayne name as yours, your options are endless.âÂ
âAnd what about you?âÂ
âThis means I no longer have to play as a playboy in public and everyone will stop asking me to marry them or their daughters.â Y/N laughed, âNah, youâll still get them. Theyâll just now be whispered behind closed doors.âÂ
Bruce smiled, âThe standards of a regular marriage will still apply. Obviously not the sex part or anything, but everything else will. Think of it like living with roommates.
âThis will work for the both of us, Y/N.â The woman smiled into the rim of her cup, red lips leaving an imprint on the glass.Â
It took him five tries for her to finally agree. There might have been some manipulation on his side of things, but he got that ring on her finger, and 2 months later she was walking down the aisle in a wedding dress that was deemed âThe Dress of the Century.â She was beautiful, even more so than usual.Â
Dick glanced at him, âSo, whatâs the plan?â Bruce sighed, âJust make sure she doesnât get hurt.âÂ
++++
It took 4 months for Y/N to come back to the manor. Within those 4 months, one of them were always with her. Switching off when they hit a new city, and each one had tried their charm on having her come back to the mansion. Bruce was going crazy, therefore Batman was more brutal than usual, and that the meant the other birds had to pick up the slack when it came to emotions. Bruce had all but shut down every other part that wasnât Batman.Â
However, nothing returned to normal once she was back. Her and Bruce were rarely in each otherâs presence, and she refused to see or do anything about Batman. Y/N was trying to remove herself from Bruce Wayne completely, and no one liked that.Â
Bruce and Y/N may claim that they were never in love, and that they only married for convenience. However, Dick will always remember watching Bruce and Y/N dancing in the main hall of the manor. He was hanging onto the chandelier, not yet noticed by either, as a song began playing and they both began dancing.Â
They had been dressed in casual clothes, which consisted of dark blue jeans and nice tops and shoes. Dickâs young eyes watched as the two of them swayed and twirled around each other, Y/N laughing at the whispered words Bruce would share, and the stern man relaxing for the duration of the time.Â
They were far from the perfect couple. Their parenting styles were different, and it took a while for Y/N to warm up to Dick. She was never cold or malicious, but just like Dick and everyone else, she was lost. However, it was her awkward arms he sought after when he had a bad day, or when Bruce got on his nerves. It was her eyes he always seeked approval for.Â
When she caught him hastily packing, dying to get away from the man that had his rules tighter than the Robin suit, she helped. Y/N had folded his clothes, snuck a bottle of Smirnoff and Titos into his luggage, because moving required at least two bottles of alcohol, and she hugged him goodbye.Â
Every member of this family has a memory tied to Y/N. A gentle one.Â
Damian had kind memories, where Y/N smiled at him for no reason. She did not expect perfection, and one time she stated how she wished Damian would fail sometimes. It was something that had him seething and jumping to defend himself, but Y/N laughed, âFailure is our best teacher, Damian. What better time to fail then when you knwo you have people willing to help you up?âÂ
Jason remembers peeking on Y/N when he was younger. Watching through the cracks of the door as she and Bruce swayed to music, laughed at old memories, or simply sat around each other and read a book. Sometimes, heâd catch her trying on her jewelry, or reorganizing her perfume. Every now and then she would go through her closet and donate clothes she no longer wanted or needed.Â
He watched how Dick, would seek her out whenever he and Bruce argued. When Jason finally allowed himself to be wrapped in those armsâ arms that always had Bruce looking ready to sacrifice everything, that had Dick relaxing, and Alfred smiling endearinglyâ and he can see why they did so. It's different from Bruce, because Bruce makes you feel protected. In Bruceâs arms, Jason knows that there is almost nothing that can harm him.Â
In Y/Nâs embrace, Jason feels at peace. Thereâs no need to worry about protection because heâs in a place that does not need it. When he dances with Y/N, to their song nonetheless, there is nothing that can ever disrupt the moment. Y/N stares at him with adoration, just how she does with Dick, only her attention is on him. Him! A street rat from Dowry, Crime Alley, and he has the attention of the woman that is Bruceâs equal in the highest social circles.Â
Those soft E/C eyes, that always stared at them with warmth and love, stared back at him through the mirror. He and Tim, because Timmy loved her just as much as he did, watched as Y/N emptied another glass of the Rose, and how the exhaustion from all the shows, photoshoots, flashing cameras, and the ordeal with Bruce seeped into her bones.Â
âHey Ma, let's get some sleep.â Jason walked closer, carefully minding the scattered jewelry that looked more expensive than any of his weapons, and Tim, who was forever on the same wavelength as Jason, scampered over to the large bed and lit the diffuser.Â
Y/N hummed, running her hands through her hair, before tilting her head back and looking at Jason once more, âYou both shouldnât be here. I can handle this myself.â Y/N never liked it when any of the kids saw her less than presentable. She was always dressed in nice clothes, with nice jewelry, and makeup even at the manor. It's one of the worries of being a model, she had told Dick, always scared that the nosey paparazzi will catch you at your worst and share it with an even crueler audience.Â
Jason had once confided in her about Willis Todd, and how he hated it when she drank in front of him. Whether it was scotch or champagne.Â
After that, Y/N always drank in her room.Â
The thing is, that Jason knows Y/N wouldnât ever hurt him. Sheâs not like Willis who purposefully seeked out to hurt someone smaller. Jason knows that no matter how mad she got at him, she wouldnât do anything (unlike what she would do to Bruce).
This is why, despite all the trauma he has with alcohol and people being intoxicated, he can confidently move the bottle away and the glass. Noting how both were empty.Â
Tim strolled over, and gave a small smile through the mirror, âIâll brush your hair, Mom. Then you should sleep.â Y/N tried to wave him off, âDonât bother. I can do it myself. You both should go.â She sluggishly reached out for the vintage decorated paddle brush, only for Tim to snatch it before she could.Â
âI want to do it. Besides, if it bothers you, think of it as me returning the favor.â The confused look Y/N gave him had him smiling patiently as he stood behind her and gently began to brush the locks of hair. Y/N sighed, âThis is embarrassing. My kids should not be taking care of me.âÂ
âIâm an adult.âÂ
âCEO of Wayne Enterprises as well. Taking care of you when you are in a low spot is the least I could do.â Lord knows how many times Y/N has cared for them at their lowest. When Tim believed that Bruce was stuck in the Time Stream, Y/N didnât seem all that confident in it, but she still believed him and helped him narrow down locations. She kept the press busy while he went out and searched.Â
He heard later that she refused to talk to Dick when she found out they wanted to put Tim in Arkham. She shook her head in disappointment when Dick told her that Damien is now Robin. Tim always thought Dick was a bit stupid on that part. Parading Damien, a child from another woman, around and in front of Y/N nonetheless. Yes, thankfully Y/N warmed up to Damien and vice versa (although for Damien it took longer), but that could have gone bad in so many ways.Â
âStill my kids.â Jason pulled a chair next to her, so they could all be in the view of the mirror, and in a rare show of affection that is only reserved for Alfred and Y/N, he rested his head on her shoulder as Tim continued to work the brush carefully through her hair. Y/Nâs shoulders sagged and her back hunched a bit, and for the first time in a while, Y/N let herself look how she felt. Exhausted. Utterly and completely exhausted.Â
Tim can see the dark circles under her red rimmed eyes, and the way her skin looked duller than usual. Granted, she finished a long gig, working tirelessly for months posing, getting dressed up, and traveling around the world to forget Bruceâs infidelity.Â
âStandards,â she said in response to his excuse. Tim isnât stupid to believe that neither Bruce or Y/N have feelings for the other. Heâs seen it. It's in the way that Bruce concedes in arguments, or the flowers and necklaces he buys her when heâs apologetic, how the harsh glare that was directed at Tim when he first became Robin eased the moment Y/N pulled the boy close to her. Acting as a shield and sword for him.Â
Her message was clear, and Bruce decided to read it.Â
Y/N on the other hand lessened Bruceâs stress when he was CEO, the breaks from brooding to dance in the main hall to their song, or even acting as the sound of reason for him. She keeps him tethered to Earth, never letting his thoughts stray too far from reality.Â
They may not be in love, but they still liked each other. Enough so that Bruce went along with her whims, just how she does with him. Enough so for Bruce to chase her across the world. Looking at it, perhaps Bruce was the one in love.Â
âJason, can you pass me the scrunchie?â He grabbed the silk scrunchie from large hands, and began braiding his momâs hair.Â
âYou guys are being so silly,â Y/N huffed, and Jason beamed at her, giving her a boyish smile that he never shows anymore, âAnything for ya, Ma.â She subtly shook her head, a smile on her face as she looked back into the mirror.Â
âIs this still about Bruce?â Tim kept his eyes on the braid, but from the tension in her shoulders, he hit the jackpot. Y/N brought her hand up to rub her forehead, âThat idiotâŠâÂ
âJoin the club, Ma.â Y/N took a deep breath, âHeâs so stupid. Itâs one thing to kiss another woman, which is fine. Do what you want to do, itâs not like we married for love.â A glare formed on her face, âBut to get caught is another thing. Fucking idiot, he can only think with his hormones like a teenager. Even Dami isnât like that, thank god.âÂ
Tim tied off the braid with the silk scrunchie, watching Y/N get heated again, âI hate him.â Except it was said with no bite, and the way Y/Nâs lip wobbled had Tim hearing other words alongside the ones she mumbled. Jason leaned into her, offering her comfort while Tim watched from the reflection in the mirror.
Y/N to Tim was what Janet Drake had failed to be. He learned a lot from both of them, and it helped that both women were huge players in their social circles and socialites. They both taught him how to play with peopleâs perception of someone. Only Janet taught him to keep a straight face and not show emotion, while Y/N taught him that with a correct smile and a well placed chuckle, someone can be eating out of the palm of their hands. Both women approached the world with different weapons and tools, and both women used and taught them to him.Â
Only Y/N also knew when it was time to put down the mask and become a reliable person for Tim, while Janet continued to only be Janet to Tim.Â
He loves them both. Except, with Y/N he felt that if she were to ever leave him the way Janet did then he would have no choice but to follow and bring her back. Wherever Y/N goes, Tim will follow.Â
âBoys.â Jason and Tim snapped their attention to the door, and Bruce was standing there, menacingly longingly. His face in an unusual expression, but one heâs worn a lot throughout the time Y/N was gone. An expression all the boys have gotten to know. Tim escaped, saying goodnight to both parental figures, before leaving for the cave.Â
Jason pecked Y/Nâs cheek, whispering good night and glaring at Bruce, âDonât fuck this up old man.â To which Bruce sighed and nodded, closing the door after Jason. For the first time in months, it was just Y/N and Bruce. Alone with each otherâs company and Bruce knows that if she could, sheâd probably be strangling him right now.Â
With great hesitancy, one that he could never show as Batman, he sat on the bed about a foot away from her.Â
âI paused my life for you.â Y/N glared into blue eyes, âI paused almost everything, for you. For your mission. For the children you brought into our home, without asking me about it beforehand, may I remind you. I love them, and donât you dare twist that, but I would have liked to have been consulted about it first.â Y/N didnât want to be a mother. It was never in the cards for her, and yet here she is having more children than she had ever dreamt of.Â
She loves them. Sheâd die and kill for them, but they were never in the cards of life she wanted dealt to her.Â
âI paused so much, just for you to go and.. And⊠and do that.â Bruce winced at that, and Y/N felt happy that he did. Gritting her teeth, Y/N turned her attention to look at the fire. The heat of it reminds her of her own rage and the coldness she feels when in the presence of Bruce.Â
Sighing heavily, she closed her eyes and bit back a groan, âAnd once I start getting my life started again, having fun, going on the runway and magazines, here you come storming back.âÂ
âYou looked like you needed the break.â Y/N shook her head, âDid you know, that that is one of your worst habits. Always making yourself out to be the hero.â She took a glass of wine and watched the liquid swirl in the glass, âOf course, you let me have that moment. Of course you were thinking of me, and my happiness. How kind of you.âÂ
Bruce sighed, watching her sip the alcohol that left a red stain on her lips. He can remember the first time he saw her in red lipstick. Shockingly, it was in-person and the red made her skin look warm and teeth appear even whiter despite the knowledge that red lipstick can make your teeth look yellower. It was a beautiful shade, matched by her dress.Â
She was beautiful. Breathtakingly so. Even as time progressed and she and he got older, Y/N remained beautiful. Defying the laws time and age as she remained ethereal. Unfairly so.Â
Bruce had wanted to preserve that beauty, in the same way that many tried to preserve the flowers from the garden and the expensive smelling perfume. He wanted nothing more than for Y/N to continue smiling and for the fire to remain bright.Â
To do that, he had to stay away. He could not allow himself to love her, because if he fell then he would drag her through the mud with him. Yet, here he is on the other side of that cold look, one that had him hesitating. That kiss with Selena was terrible timing all around. She had caught him in a moment of weakness, and someone just so happened to be there at the worst moment to catch it all.Â
Staying away proved to be ineffective when here she is drinking wine with red-rimmed eyes and anger in her brows.Â
âThis marriage was never one for love, but there are standards. Ones we talked about beforehand.âÂ
âI know.â Y/N pursed her lips, tilting her head to the left and watching Bruce with distrustful eyes. The man sighed heavily and he sat in front of her, taking his own glass and pouring himself some wine. He didnât like this type of wine, and from the very small scrunch in her nose Y/N didnât like it either.Â
The more he stared at her, taking in her still youthful features and eyes that burned bright, the more he could feel his emotions rising to the surface. Feelings and emotions he long tried to bury, but never quite succeeded. He had hoped that kissing Selena would just prove that he is only missing her as a sexual partner, and it only confirmed for him that he was in love with her.Â
He is in love with Y/N L/N-Wayne. His kids are in love with Y/N. Alfred loves Y/N. The whole Wayne family, extended and all, are in love with this woman. This woman has nothing to do with their vigilantism, but instead reminds them that they are also normal and exist outside of masks and costume. That they are human and not shadows of the night.Â
That they are the Wayne family.Â
God, he loves her so much. So much. She is his weakness, his strength, his everything. The fancy cufflinks that are only brought out for special occasions, the expensive wine cracked open for celebrations, the pearl earring worn for the best performances. Y/N is the treasure of the Wayne family.Â
Carefully, he wrapped an arm around her waist, slowly inching his way around her, testing the waters to see if she would shake him off or hiss at him. When there was no sign of that, he tightened his hold only slightly and pressed his forehead into her shoulder, gently laying a kiss on the joint, âLike I said, it was an accident. She caught me at a bad time, and I wasnât expecting her to do that.âÂ
Y/N released a heavy sigh, and Bruce hugged her tighter, âI swear. It wasnât consensual.â She rubbed her forehead, and Bruce watched how the lines slowly faded and melted back into her skin. Y/N never wore exhaustion well, which was why on mornings she had early photoshoots, she would sleep in her room instead of Bruceâs. She always woke up when he would stalk in and climb under the sheets with her.Â
âPlease, Y/N. Give me a chance. Let me take care of you the way you should be.â Y/N chuckled at that, âCareful Bruce, keep saying stuff like that and I might start to believe you have feelings for me.â Ice blue met E/C, and Y/N hesitated for a moment. Something chilling going down her spine, âI guess, I should start saying it more often then.âÂ
âBruceâŠâ He pecked her cheek, careful of the fire he was playing with, and carefully watching her reactions. His arms encircled her tighter, and he kissed her shoulder. Bruce watched, and observed how the tension slowly left her and reluctant acceptance came across her face. His arms tightened, and Bruce fought back a smile.Â
âEver the charmer,â She mumbled. Bruce huffed a laugh, and Y/N shook her head, âIf I catch you with your mouth on anyone elseâs but mine, Iâm going to sick the kids on you.â An image of four rabid dogs, followed by a few more, filled his mind. Bruce grimaced as he remembered the tongue lashing he got from everyone, âNoted.âÂ
Y/N chuckled, and Bruce smiled, throwing his weight back on the pillows, bringing Y/N with him. His arms still tight around her waist, and a promise on his lips.Â
âIâll never let you go again.âÂ

WIBTA if I intentionally included an allergen in some food so a racist couldn't eat it?
I (21M, white) recently found out that I have to attend a Thanksgiving meal with a terrible fucking person. My boyfriend "Tim" wants to go to his old roommate's/best friend's (Jacob) Thanksgiving. Jacob is great! He and Tim have been friends since they were kids, and Tim used to spend a lot of time at Jacob's house since his own home life was... not great. And Jacob's immediate family is wonderful, as well. However, Jacob's uncle "Dickwad" is racist. I went to Jacob's Thanksgiving last year and Dickwad was a dickwad. It started out okay, he and I talked about cars, but after a few beers Dickwad was very clearly racist. He also kept bragging about how he threatened a homeless man with a gun (the homeless man was trying to break into his car - it's pretty common in this area) and called him several racist derogatory terms. He never said the N-word, but it was only a matter of time, so I left quickly.
Well, Tim wants to go again this year. Everyone hates Dickwad but Jacob's parents say they can't NOT invite him since he's their brother. I say cut the bitch off, but it's not my family, and I don't want to leave Tim alone there since Dickwad has been cruel to Tim before (Tim is Asian and queer, but Dickwad thinks me and Tim are just friends and no one is about to tell him differently) and since I don't get to see Jacob that often. The rest of Jacob's family is chill and I know they would be disappointed if I didn't come.
Well, Tim recently informed me that if I'm making something to bring to Thanksgiving, Dickwad is allergic to cumin. How allergic? Not much. He'd get hives if he ate it, but he's fine being near it, touching it, etc. He just can't consume it. Everyone knows I love to cook, and I'm a damn good cook, too. So I'm planning on making something with cumin so Dickwad can't have any, because fuck him, and fuck his guns, too. No one else there is allergic to cumin. I figured if anyone asks, I'll tell them I didn't know/forgot. I asked Jacob what he thought and he thought it would be hilarious and told me to do it. I haven't said anything to Tim because he's a lot nicer and will probably try to stop me.
I don't know if this will get posted in time, but whatever. WIBTA if I put an allergen in food so a racist piece of shit can't eat it?
What are these acronyms?

Smalltown!Neglected!Meta!Reader x Yandere!Batfam âïž Part Five
âïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïž
Part One âïž Part Two âïž Part Three âïž Part Four âïž Part Six âïž Part Seven âïž Part Eight
âïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïž
A/N: Starting to realize I need to slow down, things are really getting complicated and I want everything to be included. Including proper warnings and important plot details and to really keep things more polished.
A/N: Also, going through the doubts on my writing, but we is gonna persevere, yâall. Iâm going to take some time to focus on Obsessions.
Warning(s): Yandere themes, Obsessive behavior, Kidnapping, Vomiting, Slight Stalking
âïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïž
After running Dateâs life, Tim starts to investigate Reader full throttle. Before it was just something he did to relax between cases when he couldnât shut off his brain. Now, he didnât want to miss anything. Not a single detail. Heâd also been having trouble digging up an information on readerâs small town.
Apparently, they werenât up to date on their technology. Canât hack computers for information if the computers donât exist. Still, it was nice to find out about Readerâs childhood. (Making notes for Bruce to add certain flora and fauna to the Manorâs garden and looking up any restaurants in Gotham that he could possibly take Reader too. You know, as friends.) But, Tim was nothing if not stubborn.
Reader, having a bit of whiplash from Dickâs comforting and sudden departure starts trying to fill their time by hanging out with Cassandra, Duke, and/or Stephanie.
They also call back home informing Nana about the Date incident. Surprisingly enough, Nana was sympathetic. (Though Reader couldnât help thinking she was using that condescending small town sarcasm. Maybe theyâd just been in Gotham for too long?) Regardless, Nana lends a comforting ear and even talks about BFF and their older brother, Childhood Crush, to Reader in an attempt to distract them. Telling them what the two have been up to. (How much they miss you. They canât wait for you to come home visit.)
Reader, however, is a tad more concerned with Younger Brother. Making sure to ask how he is fairing and if he could come visit them in Gotham for a bit. Just to give Nana and Grand Daddy a much needed break since their age is catching up with them. (Arenât you so sweet? Caring so much for your real family.)
But, Nana brushes reader off. No need, heâs been hanging out with Childhood Crush and BFF. Theyâve really taken him under their wing. (Theyâd make great a great partners. Donât you think, dear?) It does arouse Readerâs suspicions, but when they call their Younger Brother, he sounds⊠fine⊠Said he was having more fun with BFF than Childhood Crush, but thatâs a given. (BFF knows Reader best, and wonât let anything happen to him or Reader.) Theyâre probably overthinking things about things back home. (That pang of homesickness just doesnât seem to go away.)
At school, however, things were changing.
Damian wasnât lying to himself about scaring off Readerâs friends. A few started to avoid Reader suddenly. But, a few, mostly the wealthier ones, stayed close. Not at all bothered by Damianâs sudden campaign. Some even introducing Reader to their closer circles.
Readerâs happy to have more friends, but the loss of Date and Readerâs more down to earth friends weighed on them. Readerâs new group felt like an isolated bubble cage that encloses tightly around them (and wouldnât let them go.)
Bruce has been pretty strict about who Reader spends time with since the gala. But, Reader, going stir crazy when Cass, Steph, and Duke, respectively, are to busy (have patrol and missions), decides to ask Barbara if they can hang out with her. (A stranger is better than nothing.)
Timâs seems to be too busy with whatever heâs doing. (Heâs technically spending time on Reader, rather than with Reader.) Reader loves Alfred, but theyâre always helping him cook. Dickâs gone off on some errand in Buldhaven or Gotham (Reader canât remember, theyâre a bit annoyed by how finicky he can be with giving Reader attention.). Jason might actually choke reader if they suggest hanging out. And, Reader is still pissed at Damian for being a rude little shit (Plus, they suspect he has something to do with their friends leaving them. They just canât prove it.)
Barbara agrees to bring Reader to work with her at the Gotham City Library. Fully expecting Reader to mostly stay to themselves or possibly sneak off. (As members of the family are prone to do.) She is pleasantly surprised that Reader actually tends to stay by her side. Of course, Reader goes and gets a few books to curl up with. But, they quietly chat with Barbara, occasionally assisting with task, and mostly just enjoy silent companionship.
Reader doesnât expect Barbara to entertain them, they can entertain themselves. They just donât want to be alone at the moment. (Reader hates being alone when theyâre sad. Hate. Hate. Hates it.) Barbara finds the silent and soft companionship to be a balm for the soul, so to speak. Thereâs no pressure. No duty. Just companionship. (Itâs eases her mind how Reader is willing to stay safe. Theyâre not being dramatic or doing something foolish. I can get used to this.)
After the day is over, Barbara reports how Reader behaved back to Bruce. (Didnât wander, stayed close by, wasnât rude or sarcastic. That Gala had to have been a fluke. It has to be those horrible friends of Readerâs corrupting them.) If anything, it builds a level of trust with Bruce that Reader can be cautious and they wonât have to worry about them leaving. (Running away. Ha!)
Bruce decides Reader deserves a little more trust. (He wants to spoil his child.) Giving them more leeway to spend time in Gotham. But, only with members of the family. Which would be fine, if they were available. Thereâs, unfortunately, been an Arkham Breakout.
The entire family is on high alert for the next few days, especially since Joker escaped this time. (Hell, no. The family isnât risking it. They wonât allow it. If Joker does something to Reader heâs dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Batman wonât stop anyone for killing him this time if he dares.) The family prioritize his capture, even recruiting the Gotham Sirens and the Superfamily to get the job done. Itâs probably the fastest Jokerâs ever been caught. (Joker is definitely pissed over the matter. And, will be making it everyoneâs problem next time he gets out. What are you protecting Batsy? What are you trying to hide from me? Are we not friends?
Reader gets a brief introduction to Clark Kent during this ordeal. Before, Reader had only seen Conner and Jon around the manor hanging out with Damian and Tim respectively. (Conner would always try to flirt, which annoyed Reader. And, Jon was avoid on principle of being near Damian. Though, Reader was nice if they caught him alone in the manor. Which was growing more frequent recently.)
Clark is charmed, surprised by the Reader having grown up in a Smalltown. For Reader, itâs nice to meet someone who understands the longing for simplicity. Though Clark personally felt like he had something bigger to achieve outside of his town. Still they appreciate each otherâs mindset. (Clark also wouldnât mind inviting Reader out to the Kent farm. It would be fun to annoy Bruce. Plus, Reader is clearly struggling in Gotham. Heâs not wrong.)
With Joker locked up, the family relaxes⊠Somewhat. They still have the rest of the rouge gallery to catch and have to work overtime to do it. Hardly any of them are seen outside the Batcave, which Reader is eighty-four percent certain is in the library.
Reader spends a lot of time pacing the halls. Looking at the paintings and furniture. Itâs lonely. Itâs like living in a house thatâs haunted by ghost youâre supposed to know, but donât. (If I have to live in a house haunted by ghost, Iâd rather be haunted by the ones that loved me. I wanna go home. I want Momma and Daddy. I hate being alone. I hate it here.)
Stephanie, however, having made plans with Reader, finally gets a chance to take them out into Gotham. It takes a nearly a week, but they do manage to get out into the city together. Stephanie showing Reader all her favorite sights, pointing out landmarks and fun things. Itâs possibly the funnest day Readerâs had since coming to Gotham. Arcades, Ice Skating, food trucks, street performers, itâs all new and exciting.
Nothing good last in Readerâs life it seems.
In broad daylight, Reader is forcefully grabbed and thrown into the back of a truck.
Thereâs a massive down side to being Bruce Wayneâs child. You easily get taken hostage and held for ransom.
Stephanie is helpless. She can only watch it happen too far away to make it to Reader in time. The horror and fear on Readerâs face made her stomach turn violently.
She immediately called Barbara to start tracking the vehicle and the thugs, sending an alert out to the entire family.
Once done she couldnât stop herself from letting the disgust and shame bubble from her gut out on to the pavement. Just the thought of Reader being hurt making her physically ill. (Give them back. How dare they take whatâs mine? Itâs my fault. I shouldnât have left them alone. Theyâre helpless without me.)

are tim and toby ever nice to each other :(
This made me realize Iâm really lacking on proxy bonding (besides Kate and Toby) cuz I donât want people to think theyâre ALL just misery and fighting. They just show affection in more subtle ways. SO I WILL BE UPPING MY TIM/TOBY/BRIAN/KATE JOYFUL ANTICS SOON. In the meantime . I have a few old drawings of them being happy and messing around .
said it in a few text posts BUT tim taught Toby to drive and taught Toby a lot of car stuff, which is Very important cuz toby ends up becoming a mechanic in my AU . I think they do a lot of stuff like that together - tim and Brian teaching Toby a lot of stuff his dad failed to teach him, and I think they also have a better grasp on like⊠gender? Like Tobyâs dad was really cruel to his family about gender roles, especially toby âbeing a pussyâ and âneeding to man upâ and getting pissed if he caught Toby doing any âfemale choresâ for his sister/mom . But then Tim and Brian are teaching him how to garden in the back yard and theyâll buy a box of shitty cheap cookie mix and ask toby to make it cuz theyâre tired and half the time when Toby says something sexist (more so smth engrained in him like âIâm not a fucking chick donât tell me what to doâ, not smth out of hatred for women. JUST TO CLARIFY.) theyâre like âtoby what are you talking aboutâ . So having like actually masculine role models who, ILL ADMIT IT HERE THEY ARENT GREAT THEYVE KICKED TOBYS ASS (and vice versa, the violence goes both ways), are typically more understanding of his situation, who donât mock or kick him when heâs down, trust that heâs actually strong enough to handle himself, teach him important life skills, pat his back when he needs it, tell him theyâre proud of him . etc etc. I think it means a lot to Toby. I like to think he finds himself modeling himself after them, even though he(and everyone else) insists theyâre also assholes who think theyâre better than the rest . N he really misses them when they ditch Alabama
This was a rlly quick ramble itâs 8am I need to go do my makeup so Iâll hopefully touch on this later cuz I wanna make more happy art with the proxies

If Bruce and Batmom Divorced ~Bruce Wayne Imagine~
Summary: The final straw was Bruce officially cheating on you.
Authorâs Note: I saw a TikTok about a comic of Catwoman having Bruceâs daughter and I thought of the angst between Batmom and Bruce.
This is not canon to the Batmom Universe
Readerâs Pronouns: She/Her
Warnings: Mentions of divorce, angst, cheating
Do not repost this anywhere!
You were a smart person after living with Bruce Wayne who is also Batman. You learned his tricks and gadgets while being his wife. So when you left without word the day after finding out Selina was pregnant with Bruceâs child, everyone grew into a panic.
âItâs like she just disappeared,â Tim said in disbelief.
âNow I know how she felt when I left the mansion,â Dick says.
âWhere could she have gone?â Jason asked.
âAlfred, are you sure she didnât say anything to you before she left?â Cassandra asked him with a sad and desperate look.
âIf you think, she would disappear without telling me, youâre wrong. I do know where she is however, she asked me not to say anything. She only gave it to me for emergencies.â
âThen tell us, Alfred! We wonât tell Bruce,â Stephanie begged.
âIâm afraid I cannot do such thing. Not until she calls me and tells me that she is ready.â
Selina had showed up to your doorstep one afternoon and told you the news of her being pregnant with Bruce's child. You spend the first hour in shock before gathering your stuff that you had packed and left without saying goodbye.
It broke everyone when you left. Even Bruce.
Bruce would rather kill Joker and all the villains if it meant keeping you with him. He would murder every single person with bad in them if it meant he could have you with him. But what he did that finally broke you would never change your mind.
Then came the day when you finally showed up. But with a surprise.
"Mom?" Dick asked in shock.
"Hi honey," you smiled softly. Dick engulfed you into a quick hug before looking at you.
"Are you okay? How are you?" Dick asked.
"I'm okay. I'm doing well," you tell him. "Is Bruce home?"
"Yeah. He's home."
"I need to talk to him," you tell him.
"Yeah. Okay."
You followed Dick inside the manor and found Bruce sitting at the dining room table with Alfred and Damien.
"Ummi!" Damien said the moment he saw you.
He rushed over and hugged you tightly before realizing your condition.
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"It's okay sweetie."
"It's good to see you Ms. Y/n," Alfred said, giving you a hug as well.
"I need to talk to Bruce really quickly. Alone," you tell everyone.
Everyone rushed out of the room so you two could be alone.
"Y/n-"
"I don't want to hear you talk Bruce. I am here to have you sign these," you say as you took out the divorce papers from your purse; "And I am here to let the kids know that I am okay."
"Y/n, can we talk about this? Is the baby mine?" Bruce asked referring to your pregnant bump.
"It's yours. But I don't need you for them. I am going to raise this child alone and we do not need you. You are having a child with Selina so if you want to be a father, go be that child's father because you have no right to be in my life anymore," you tell him.
"I put up with so much with you. And I am done. I am exhausted and being away from you for the past four months made me feel so free and relaxed. I have a good home now and it's in a good city and good neighborhood. I just want you to sign these papers, and let me go."
"I don't want to let you go. I don't want to lose you," Bruce said, looking up at you with tears in his eyes.
"Bruce. You lost me when you went to Selina after you told me you wouldn't go back to her," you tell him, tearing up as well.
"At least let me give you alimony so you don't have to work anymore. If I am going to lose you, at least let me do something good for you one last time," Bruce begged.
"Fine. But I don't want contact with you. I'll talk to the kids gladly and they are more than welcome to visit me or live with me but I am done with you Bruce. Until our child asks about you and wants to see you, then I will tell them about you and that they can visit you with the other kids as supervision. But for now, I don't want anything to do with you," you tell him.
"Y/n-"
"You can mail the paperwork to my lawyer," you tell Bruce before walking out. You found Damien and Dick standing by the door after you opened it. You gave them a hug and a kiss on the cheek before walking out. You looked over at Alfred and gave him a small nod.
Alfred walked over to the two boys and handed Dick a piece of paper.
"If you kids want to visit her," Alfred tells them before walking off.
Damien rushed out after you. He wrapped his arms around you, stopping your tracks.
âDonât leave me Ummi. Please.â
âIâm sorry Damien. Alfred gave my address to you kids so if you want to visit me, you can. But I need to go right now,â you tell your son. Damien nodded before letting you go. You kissed his head once more before getting into your car and driving off.
----
Bruce never interacted with you again after that day. He knew where you lived due to following the kids over to visit you. But he never went down to talk to you. He knew that you were stubborn and that you were holding your ground on not wanting to see him again. He just wished that he could take everything back to have you back in his arms.
The years went on and the kids began to grow up and move out of the house. That was until he got a knock on the door one day.
A girl who looked too much like you stood in front of him as she stared up at him. She couldnât be older than ten.
"Are you Bruce Wayne?" She asked him.
"Yes I am."
"Hi! I'm Ella. I'm your daughter," she introduced.
"Ella," Bruce sighed in awe. He kneeled down to her height so he can look at her better. "Where's your mother?"
"She doesn't know I'm here. Which reminds me. I need to call her to tell her that I'm okay and that I'm sorry for running away to find you," Ella tells him.
"She will definitely have a heart attack. Come on," Bruce said, holding her hand.
He watched as Ella talked on the phone with you before she looked up at him.
"Mama wants to talk to you," she said, handing the phone over to him.
"Hi, Y/n."
"Is she okay? Is my baby okay?" You asked.
"She's okay. I got her."
"I don't know how on Earth she managed to get to you! I know I said I never wanted to see you again but please bring her back home. We can talk about her seeing you every weekend or something," you tell Bruce.
"Of course."
"I know you know where I live. Just come over with her please. Now," you say.
"I will."
Bruce took Ella back home where you waited for them.
"You young lady are grounded!" You sternly tell your daughter.
"But mom-"
"No buts. Go to your room!" You ordered her. Ella hugged her father before running to her room.
"Y/n-"
"Thank you for bringing her home safely. I can drop her off every weekend if you're not busy for her to see you," you tell Bruce.
"If you think that's best for her."
"Sheâs been asking to meet you,â you tell him. Bruce stayed silent for a moment.
âHow are you?â
âFine. How are you and Selina? Have you two been raising your child together nicely?â You asked him.
âWe arenât together. She put the child up for adoption,â Bruce explains.
âIâm sorry to hear that.â
âAnd Iâm sorry for everything. Are you happy?â Bruce asked you.
âIâve been better.â
âYou know, I never stopped thinking about you.â
You stared at him for a moment.
âIâll drop her off next weekend after sheâs grounded. You can have her for the weekend as well as Fatherâs Day. Iâll have my lawyer draft up a new custody agreement,â you tell Bruce.
âYou could always come with her,â Bruce said.
âNo. Like I said years ago Bruce. Iâm done with you. I can forgive you. But you also proved to me that you will never love me as much as I loved you,â you tell him.
âIâm sorry Y/n. For everything,â Bruce said before walking out of your home.

From Gold to Mold
Chapter 9: The Harassment
His children are already waiting for him the moment he and Alfred walk in the door, no doubt aware of everything thatâs happened concerning him and their brother.
As expected, his reunion with you had been posted on the internet and every major news outlet has been talking about it ever since, especially the Gotham Gazette and the Daily Planet. Fuel was added to the fire this morning when he met you at the airport after Lex dropped you off and tried to get to agree to talk to him, you yelled so hard that the entire airport stopped to watch you tear into him, only stoping when security stepped in.
He ignored all the stares as he watched your plane take off for Nevada, far away from your family and home. And he was greeted by a crowd of reporters when he returned to Gotham, all of them flashing their cameras and shouting questions over one another.
He did his best to hide his hurt when many of them asked why were you not present for any of the family functions or galas over the past twelve years.
He wanted to say he was protecting you from the limelight; that you had just lost your mother and the last thing you needed was to be bombarded by those parasites who feed on misery to turn a quick buck, but of all the lies heâs forced himself to say, that would be one lie he couldnât force out of his mouth, opting instead to vomit everything he has in his guts.
Because he knows the truth: he neglected you. No amount of beating around the bush could eve change the fact that heâs never had a genuine conversation with you. From the moment you arrived at his home, you were ignored because he was too busy wallowing in his own suffering that he couldnât see you were suffering, too.
Plus, there was no doubt in his mind that if he did say that, it would get back to you and youâd be more than glad to set the record straight.
âThat video of you and Y/Nâs already gone viral,â Tim says, not looking up from his phone. âIt had over a million views in just ten minutes. Now, itâs nearing a billion.â
He suppresses a sigh. Of course a video of playboy billionaire Bruce Wayne getting his ass handed to him by his previously unknown firstborn biological son would go viral.
âI could scrub it, if you want,â Tim adds.
If anyone could absolutely scrub a video from the internet and condemn it to the void, Tim absolutely could. But, as much as he wants that video of you tearing into him gone forever, the memory of it would live on in his memory for the rest of his life; the hatred and pain in your eyes haunts him every time he closes his eyes.
Also, at this rate, thereâs no closing this Pandoraâs Box. The world knows youâre his son and that he obviously wronged you. People arenât going to forget that anytime soon.
Since last night, heâs monitored the Gould Games Pixtagraph page and before his reunion with him, you were sitting at following of a couple tens of thousands, but after last night, your following jumped up to several millions, your studio is tagged in countless reposts of that damn video, and so many people are asking you to explain your relationship with him.
So far, youâve yet to say anything about your time living with them. On one hand, heâs glad you havenât responded as it gives them time to do damage control and plan their next move concerning you, but on the other hand, heâs hurt because you donât deem him worth your time to badmouth him on the internet.
âItâs fine, Tim,â he responds, ruffling his sonâs hair as he walks towards the living room, Alfred and his children following behind.
The moment he walks in, his eyes immediately go to the family portrait sitting on the wall above the mantle, a family portrait that doesnât include you. Before he got his head out of his ass, every time he looked at the painting, it filled him with pride and a sense that despite all his failings, he had done the best he could for his children and created a family that heâs proud of.
Now? That portrait is a constant reminder of how much heâs failed you. He can remember the day he had the portrait commissioned (a few months after Damian moved in with them and when Bruce was sure he wouldnât attack the artist), he had fought all morning to have his kids dressed in their formal clothing and to behave before the artist arrived. Hell, he can remember the artist asking if this was everyone, he had said all members of the family were here.
While they were downstairs, having a family portrait made, you were alone and upstairs in a room not fit for any human to stay in.
How many times had you looked at this portrait and thought it was proof you werenât a part of this family and no one even remembered you.
He wants to take it down right now and burn it, but that wonât get rid of his guilt. Nothing will change the fact that he had commissioned this portrait and you were left out, that he cared so little about you back then that you didnât even cross his mind when he was corralling everyone to the living room the day it was made.
Fuck, he just wants to tear out his own heart just thinking about what you mustâve thought of them over the years.
Well, as soon as you come home, heâll have that same artist paint a new portrait; one with all of them surrounding you and looking at you with nothing but love in their gazes.
âBased on the video, last night didnât go well,â Jason asks with a hint of sarcasm, but Bruce hears the hurt and guilt in his voice.
He opens his mouth to respond, but closes it, unable to trust himself not to break down, the last thing his family needs.
He knows that his behavior was unacceptable and that he has no right to ask you to leave a place you clearly love to come back to the house that caused you so much pain and sadness over the years.
But now that he knows his mistakes, all he wants is for you to come home so he can shower you in the love he shouldâve shown you. To make you a part of his family as is your birthright. To show you off to Gothamâs elite in massive galas at the manor and revel in the looks of envy when they realize they can look all they want, but theyâll never get the privilege of speaking or courting you. To display you for the entire world to behold and watch as your family heaps their undying love upon you.
But in order for any of that to happen, they need to find a way to get you speaking to them, something that may prove to be more difficult than crime fighting.
âMaster Bruce,â Alfred says, breaking home out of his stupor. âIf I may make a suggestion?â Bruce nods, eager to hear the butlerâs wise words. âMaybe send one of the children to talk to Master Y/N? I had a feeling that the young man still held animosity towards you, but I never thought he would lash out the way he did last night.â
As much as he hates to admit it, Alfredâs right. You hate him, last night proved that, and you have every right to.
âBut who isnât gonna piss him off,â Steph chimes in, all eyes on her now. âI mean, we all did what Bruce did. Whatâs saying he wonât do to us what he did to Bruce?â
It seems with each passing day, he feels more and more like a pathetic excuse of a man. Itâs one thing for you to be mad at him (god knows he deserves it and heâs definitely not the easiest person to get along with), but for you to hold that same hatred for your siblings as you do him? His familyâs falling apart at the seams and heâs powerless to stop it.
His parents are probably so disappointed in him right now.
âIâll go,â Damian announces. âIâm his blood-brother. No doubt heâll be more receptive to me than the rest of you.â
âYouâre the last person who should go,â Jason mutters. âLet me go. Iâll bring him back.â
He knows Jason will most likely bring you back home by your ankles and as much as heâs tempted to bring you home, forcing your return isnât the proper way to start the healing process. Heâs confident that they could handle any difficulties you gave them, but he wants to keep kidnapping last resort.
âLet me go,â Dick begs. âIf thereâs anyone who knows how to talk to people in this family, itâs me.â
Unfortunately, Dickâs the only one in this family who knows how to have genuine heart-to-heart talks with anyone, specifically members of their family. As much as he wants to fly over to Nevada and bear his heart out to you, he knows that heâs the last person you want to talk to and him repeatedly approaching you would only make things worse for them.
Also, you need him, but Gotham also needs Batman; bar the usual Arkham escape and petty criminal activity, things have been quiet since Jokerâs death, but if heâs gone too long, the cityâs criminal element will become more active.
And he needs to make Gotham safe for you when you return home.
âAlright, Dick,â he sighs. âGo. Bring your brother back. Take the jet.â
Dick cheers and his other children roar in outrage, but Bruce leaves them to settle their disagreement themselves.
âHow was it, Master Bruce,â Alfred asks as the butler follows him to the Batcave. âTo see Master Y/N again after so long?â
âI canât believe how much heâs changed,â he responds as he walks down the stone staircase.
Itâs true, when you stepped on stage to accept your award, he was shocked to see how much youâve grown; if he tries hard enough, he can vaguely recall what you looked like when you first moved in: a scrawny little boy who looked like hell.
Of course you did back then, you just lost your mother and had been dragged away from your home and everything youâd ever known to live with a man youâd never met before in a city you probably never heard of, so it would make sense. All you wanted back then was your father to hug you and tell you everything would be ok and that you werenât alone.
But he was too selfish to give you what you needed back then. He deemed his own grief greater than yours, the cityâs needs greater than yours. And if it wasnât bad enough he neglected you, he had to go and replace with you with your siblings.
And if he tries harder, he can recall what you looked like when you were fifteen, which was not long after Damian moved in with them. He can remember an incident involving you, Damian, and some sort of pen. Sure, it was stupid for you to fight Damian over some stupid little pen, but he shouldâve listened to you back then. He knew Damian hated you on sight because he felt like you were a threat to the legacy Raâs and Talia spent years putting in his mind; he shouldâve stepped in back then because you had no idea how to defend yourself while Damian was trained by an assassin whoâs lived for centuries, but he gave Damian the benefit of the doubt, leaving his younger son to grow out of his assassin upbringing.
The last thing he remembers about that incident was him demanding the pen for Damian and you telling him no. Back then, he was angry at you for defying him, but now, he admires that you did. Even though you were shorter than him and weaker than him, you stood your ground.
As much as you probably hate to hear it, youâre just like him.
And last night, he saw you as a successful, confident young man. He couldnât believe his eyes when he saw just how much youâd grown (and how he wasnât a part of your life).
And when you gave that speech?
Heâs not ashamed to admit it brought a tear to his eye.
He knows he wronged you, but to know you view your time with him and your siblings hit him like a freight train. And to add insult to injury, the entire world now knows you hate him; hate him enough to lash out at him in public.
His head throbs a bit when he thinks at the amount of damage control heâs gonna have to do to avoid raising too much attention when you come home.
âHeâs changed so much,â he sighs as he sits in front of the Batcomputer, his fingers typing away at the keys. âThereâs so much I wasnât there for.â
âYes, Master Y/N has certainly grown into a fine young man,â Alfred responds. âHe takes after his mother.â
That statement makes him pause. You share none of his features, nearly everything coming from your mother; the only thing tying you to him is DNA and his motherâs eyes. As if it wasnât bad enough you donât share his last name (heâll have to look into that when you come home), but if he didnât know better, heâd never know you were his son.
It also didnât make him better that Alfred was the one to practically be your father. God knows Alfred raised not only him, but his children, but to know that the wise old butler stepped up to the position he failed to only makes the pit of guilt heâs in even deeper.
He can spend the rest of his life making it up to you and heâll never even scratch the surface of his transgressions.
As expected, Tim spent the last day gathering every piece of information about you, from your report cards from Goodsprings Elementary to your tax records while you were working during your time in Gotham (and while heâs glad you got out there and found a job you loved, it pained him to know that you had to work while he had more than enough money to give you like he gives your siblings).
He pulls up your medical records (for dozens of doctorâs appointments he wasnât there for) and sees the last one you had was just before your eighteenth birthday (a major event he didnât even think of) and according to it, you were in perfect health.
He leans forward as he speed reads it before comparing it to all your other appointments.
âSomething unusual, Master Bruce?â
âHis medical records,â he answers as he pulls up your records from the day you were born. âIâm looking for any abnormality.â
âLike what?â
âThe Meta Gene.â
âWhat,â Alfred exclaims. âWhy would you assume he has the Meta Gene?â
âLast night, when he pushed me. Thereâs no way he shouldâve been able to punch me the way he did. Iâm taller and have more weight than he does.â
âThat doesnât necessarily prove anything, Master Bruce.â
He looks Alfred in the eye. âI could tell there was something unusual with his strength, Alfred. And I could tell he was holding back.â
The poor butler looks defeated and Bruce resumes his research.
Heâs made his stance on Metas in Gotham known to all: none are allowed to enter and Gotham will be protected only by human strength, determination, and intelligence.
But if you do have the gene, it doesnât change anything, youâre still his son and your proper place is here, with him, Alfred, and your siblings. Heâll just have to prepare the Cave to hold you.
âThereâs no sign of the gene in any of his records, but regular equipment isnât as thorough as the equipment we have in the cave. Weâll need a fresh sample.â
âThat may be easier said than done, Master Bruce. Your son doesnât even want to give you the time of day, I highly doubt heâll give you a blood sample. Perhaps you could obtain one from his doctor?â
âNot an option. Look.â He pulls up your last medical record. âThe last time he saw a doctor was his eighteenth birthday. Thereâs no sign of him at any doctorâs office in the last four years.â
âNo doctorâs appointments in the last four years? Iâm going to have a word with him when he returns.â He gives Bruce a look. âLooks like he did inherit something from you, after all.â
As much as he wishes to know thereâs something concrete you got from him, he really hopes itâs not his lack of self care. Of course, thereâs plenty of him he hopes you donât inherit from him, but not taking care of yourself is at the top of the list.
Well, second on his list. His inability to properly care for his family would be on top.
âHopefully Dick will make some progress.â
To say Dick is both excited and nervous is a gross understatement.
Donât get him wrong, heâs ecstatic to see you, his baby bird, but heâs so worried about how youâll react to him.
He knows he wasnât the best big brother (actually, he wasnât a brother to you at all), but he knows he screwed up and he wants to make it up to you!
In fact, if you want, the two of you can hang out in Vegas (although someone innocent like you shouldnât be in a filthy place like that), eating at some of best restaurants there, taking in a few shows, and if you insist, heâll go with you to a casino (that heâll choose) and play a few games. After that, the two of you can book a room in the best hotel in Vegas (hopefully youâll be ok with cuddling with your big brother) and in the morning, youâll come back to Gotham with him.
He takes in your house as he walks up the driveway. Heâs happy to know your grew up in a nice house and your mom provided for you (not many of his siblings had the same luxury) and he loves that heâs getting to see your house with his own eyes, but come on, baby bird, this house is too small for someone like you!
Youâre a growing boy and you need something bigger! He knows you make videos games (he played your game and gave it a good review), so you need a place to work, and everyone knows the manor has more rooms than they know what to do with. And do you even have enough space to walk around in your room?
His heart aches when he thinks of that pathetic excuse of a room you were forced to sleep in back at the manor. To know his baby bird was sleeping in a room the size of a walk-in closet while he was practicing his gymnast moves in his roomâ
âThatâs in the past,â he tells himself. âItâs not like that anymore.â
Itâs true, Bruce had Alfred get the empty bedroom next to his ready for you, complete with a bed large enough for four people (he canât wait to have sleepovers with you), a solid oak desk perfect for you to play and work on the new computer they got you, and filled with plushies, posters, and figures from all the video games they know youâre into.
And if thereâs something missing from it, heâll be more than happy to run out and buy it for you!
And if it wasnât bad enough that the house was too small for you, you lived all alone on the edge of this small town. Come on, baby bird, you need your siblings to keep you company! You must be so lonely living in this house by yourself and no neighbors around.
The familyâs already made plans to hang out with you: Bruce has already planned a whole gala for you, Dick plans on taking you to arcades and movie theatres, Jasonâs read all your momâs books and wants to talk about each of them with you, Timâs called dibs on any and all video game activities with you, Babs wants to bring you to the library and hang out with her and maybe go out for coffee, Steph and Cass want to take you shopping and out to eat at all their favorite restaurants, and Damian has demanded that you go on walks with him every night after dinner and allow him to paint you.
He knows youâve set up a good life here in your old hometown and heâs so proud of you for going out and making your mark on the world, but you need to come home. Youâll probably be sad on having to leave your childhood home, but your family misses you and the worldâs too dangerous for someone like you to be on your own.
You have your family, so you donât need to work when they can take care of you! And if you want to, you can come down here once or twice a year and check on the place (with one of them accompanying you, of course).
He knocks on your door with his usual playful knock he uses on his other siblingsâ doors and waits. When he doesnât hear any footsteps from the other side, he does it again.
âY/N,â he calls out. âItâs me.â
He knows youâre home, your carâs in the driveway (Bruce owes you a better car, that one isnât fit for you) and your phoneâs GPS signal is clearly inside.
âY/N,â he calls out even louder. âI know youâre in there!â
Finally, after forever, the door opens, revealing you; you open the door just enough to stick your head out. Heâs blown away by how much youâve grown; of course he saw the video (you really need to learn violence doesnât solve anything, baby bird), but it doesnât compare to seeing you in person. Youâve grown up from that teen boy into a fine looking young man, even if you look like you want to set him on fire right now.
âWhat the hell are you doing here,â you growl, taking the wind out of his sails just a little bit.
âIs it weird a big brother wants to see his little brother,â he says, flashing you his trademark wide grin.
âYouâre not my brother and I donât want you here.â
Ok, now that definitely took the wind out of his sails completely.
âOf course weâre brothers,â he responds, letting out an awkward chuckle. âI know I didnât do a good job at it, butââ
âWeâre not brothers, Dick,â you interject. âYou were there for everyone else, but not me. You never viewed me as a priority.â
âThatâs not trueââ
âYes it is, Dick! You didnât say anything to me when we first met, you constantly went out of your way to hang out with Tim and the others and left me out of the fun every time, and when Damian attacked me with a fucking sword, you took his side and told me to let it go! And you have the nerve to call yourself my brother? Where do you get the fucking audacity?â
Alright, you have a few points. He shouldâve included you when he hung out with the others. And yes, Damian had a rough upbringing, but that didnât give him the right to take his sword and hurt you like that.
âI know, I know, I screwed up. I wasnât there for you when you needed me. But I know I did you wrong, we all did, but we want to make it up to you. To bring you back home and show you the love we shouldâve showed you from the beginning.â
âBut I am home, Dick. Gotham was never my home and I didnât lose twelve years of my life in that damn mansion in a city of the damned just to go back to it, surrounded by people I hate.â
Hate. That one word pierces his heart like a spear. He knows theyâre probably not you favorite people in the world, but to know you hate themâŠ
It hurts.
âBaby bird, you donât meanââ
âMean it? I absolutely do. You people ignored me for years, treated me like I was just a nuisance, that I obviously didnât belong in your perfect home and your perfect family. You clearly didnât want me there and I felt the same.â
âBut weââ
âI donât care how you feel. You obviously remembered me, probably thanks to something Alfred did, and feel guilty over how you treated me and that guilt is making you think I owe you a second chance. Thatâs why youâre here, Dick. To being me back to Gotham because he knows he canât emotionally manipulate me.â
Each word you speak cuts him to his core. To know how much low you see them makes him want to cry.
Youâre just saying this because they hurt you.
Thatâs right, they hurt you and now you want to hurt them. He gets it, baby bird. If this is what it takes to get you back home, you can berate him all you want.
But, he needs to get you back home, first. So, as much as he hates to use it, heâll have to use his ace card. You might be scared when he tells you, but heâll be with you as long as it takes and answer any questions you have.
âLook, I know it doesnât justify everything we did, but thereâs a reason why we were always not around. Itâs becauseââ
âYouâre Nightwing. Is that what you were going to say?â
He feels his heart stop and his blood go cold at your words.
What?
âWhat?â
âThat youâre Nightwing. Thatâs what you were about to say, right?â
A moment passes as he processes your words. Once again, the wind is taken out of his sails, but this time, it feels like you just sucker punched him in the gut to do so.
You know their secret? For how long?
âHowââ
âWow, you must really think Iâm that fucking stupid to not notice that. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but none of you are as subtle as you think you are. I lived there for twelve years and you really think I didnât notice you all in costume, see your gear left strewn across the house, and hear you talking about criminals when I was right behind you?â
âI never thought you were stupid,â he defends himself.
Really, he never thought you were stupid! He saw your school records, you were a great student (struggled in math a bit, but thatâs on him, he really shouldâve been there to help you). But he just thought you just missed it with you sleeping on the far side of the manor.
âI also saw you guys celebrating each night when you came home. You know, with large banquets, movies, and take out. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.â
Another gut punch. To know you saw them having so much fun that you werenât invited to hurt him and made him want to take you into his arms and take your pain and loneliness away.
âAlso, itâs not rocket science; Bruce Wayne gets a new kid every time Batman gets a new sidekick, Batman is clearly using equipment that costs a pretty penny and not many people in Gotham could foot the bill, and Jason Todd rises from the dead not long after Red Hood showed up. Honestly, the fact that no one else in Gotham has figured it out is astounding.â
Once again, a moment passes as he processes your words, his mouth agape and eyes as wide as saucers. He looks around quickly and is relieved to know thereâs no camera recording this interaction, so thereâs one less thing to worry about.
âWell,â he finally stutters out. âYou know what we were up to. So, you know we were always busy and didnât have one of free time.â
It hurts that heâs saying that you were less important than going out at night and punching criminals, but heâs drowning and heâs reaching for anything to keep himself afloat.
âBut all of you made time for each other. I saw you make plenty of time to be there for the others, but never me.â
He really wants the ground to open up and swallow him whole. This conversation is one of the most painful things heâs ever done in his entire life. To know you stood in the background and saw him being there for everyone elseâŠ
âWell, maybe if you had done something else to get our attention,â he spits out, saying the first thing that comes to mind to keep this conversation going.
âAnd what should I have done,â you spit out, your eyes little more than slits and filled with hate.
âMaybe you shouldâve become like us,â he mutters, his voice sounding pathetic even to him.
âWhatâd you just say,â you say, your tone a deadly silence.
He says nothing, realizing his mistake. You had a normal childhood with your mom, with no training whatsoever that would be useful in a vigilante situation. Plus, youâre innocent, you donât belong on Gothamâs harsh streets; you belong at the manor with Alfred, eating cookies and drinking hot chocolate.
âI said âwhatâd you just say,ââ you yell, making him jump a bit. âSay it again.â
Even though heâs taller than you (thank god), you look absolutely terrifying right now. Youâre obviously pissed and repeating his stupid mistake is just going to make you angrier.
âI told you to say that again,â you yell as you open the door wide open and shove him back, making him step onto the grass as you step outside. âNow be a good little circus freak and do as I say!â
The insult is another sucker punch. Itâs not the first time heâs been called that, heâs always countered it by showing off his acrobatic skills and silencing the sneers, but that obviously wonât work here.
âI said maybe you shouldâve become a vigilanteââ
Heâs cut off by a slap to the face. When his vision clears, he sees your expression is a mix of anger and sadness, making him feel even worse about himself.
âHow dare you,â you hiss, tears beginning to flow from your eyes. âSo, I had to waste my life fighting Arkhamâs inmates to be worthy of your love? I had to prove myself worthy of affection?â
âNo,â he quickly retorts, ignoring the pain in his jaw from the slap. âIâm sorry, Iââ
âFuck you, Dick! Fuck you and fuck that dysfunctional mess you call a family! I hope you all get eaten by Killer Croc next time he breaks out!â
And with that, you storm back in your house and slam the door shut, leaving him to stare at the door, alone with his thoughts.
Shit. He came here to make you more receptive to them and all he did was make things worse. Now youâll never come home.
And worse, he made you cry, something else heâll never be able to forgive himself for.
âWell, Iâve done all I can,â he mutters to himself. âGuess I need to phone B and tell him what happened.â
He moves his leg to start walking back when pain surges from his ankle and when he looks down, he notices a vine covered in thick thorns wrapped around his ankle, a small line of blood on the vegetation. He mustâve got caught in it when you shoved him back and didnât notice it.
He bends down and untangles his leg, taking care not to cut himself on the vineâs thorns.
Really, baby bird, this is why you need to come home. You donât know how to take care of yourself, let alone a house.
When Dick told everyone what happened, Jason was genuinely surprised. When he first met you, he thought you were some little squirt that had no idea what the real world was like (of course, at that time, he was still pissed at Bruce and still riding high on Pit Madness, so he didnât bother to spare you a passing glance).
When he learned that you lost your mom in a tragic accident and were forced to move to Gotham, where you were basically ignored and forgotten about for yearsâŠ
Well, itâs not often he feels guilty about something, but this is definitely one of those times.
All those times when he yelled at Bruce for replacing him with Tim when he was doing the same thingâŠ
Fuck, despite his best efforts, he became the old man, after all.
He was too busy being angry at the world and focusing on his own pain that he couldnât see you were suffering.
And he knows your pain all too well, kid.
Losing your mother? Been there.
Being treated like shit? Oh yeah.
Have your life turned upside down because of Bruce? Oh, heâs president of the club.
If he had just pulled his head out of his own ass, he wouldâve seen you were in pain like him. For fuckâs sake, Bruce didnât even acknowledge your birthday or get you anything for Christmas while he was downstairs getting a limited edition copy of Pride and Prejudice and opening birthday cards with checks and gift cards.
The thought of you sitting upstairs in that fucking pitiful excuse of a room during your birthday (which is also the day of your momâs death, ainât that a bitch). Shit, he just wants to go back to Gotham, kick Bruceâs ass and then his own. Hell, he can remember flashing you his Pit Eyes after meeting you and youâre a damn civilian, for fuckâs sake!
Seriously, he knows heâs fucked in the head, but is he really that fucked up?
Maybe he should finally listen to Alfred and book a session with that therapist he recommended.
Well, heâll do that when he brings you back home. After Dickhead not only failed to bring you back, but made things worse than before (they were all amazed when he told them you knew their secret, but of course Bruce stated drafting new rules about wearing their suits and handling their gear in the house to prevent someone outside the family from making the same discovery), Bruce finally green light the use of force and sent Jason.
He looks up at your house: a nice, simple thing in a small town where everyone probably knows your name.
While the others said it wasnât for you, he actually thought what living there would be like. According to Alfred, you lived a great life there with your mother, complete with your own room and a nice tv perfect for eating cereal while watching Saturday morning cartoons.
He imagines doing that with you, him reading Jane Austen while you watch whatever silly little cartoon you like.
Yeah, shocking, but he wants to make up his shitty behavior towards you. Hell, he went ahead and bought everything your mom wrote and started reading and making notes. Now, heâll never forsake Austen, but your mom is definitely a close second on his list of favorite authors.
She had a thing for the Age of Sails, apparently, since the books always took place on boats. She was also a romantic because she always ended her books with the two main characters falling in love, be it a noble woman and a pirate captain or the son of a major trade company and the commander of his naval escort.
Maybe your mom had some unpublished manuscript lying around and youâll let him read it. He has plans to discuss her books with you, hopefully you know enough about her to answer them, but all he wants is to spend time with you.
Of course, first you have to come home. Whether you come along willingly or he has to drag you depends on his conversation goes with you.
âSorry, kid,â he mutters to himself as he walks up to your door and knocks.
You want nothing to do with them. He gets it, trust him, he really does. It wasnât that long ago he wanted to be as far from Gotham and Bruce just like you. Unfortunately, when youâre a part of this family, youâre in it for life; when it has its hooks in you, you canât get them out.
Hopefully your transition wonât be too painful. Heâll try to keep the others (mainly Dick) from hitting you too much with their guilt-driven affections.
âWhat the hell are you doing here,â a voice calls out from behind him.
He turns around to see you with a brown paper bag in your hand and if he squints hard enough, he can see some restaurantâs name on the bag.
Thatâs right, Goodsprings is a small town where everythingâs within walking distance, so it would make sense why you got take out while your carâs in the driveway.
âLook, kid, before we go any further, I just want to say that Iâm sorry.â
âI donât care,â you respond. âGo away.â
âLook, I know where youâre coming from. Really, I do. When I came back, I was pissed at Bruce and wanted nothing to do with him.â
âAnd yet, here you are, a part of that disgusting family and doing his bidding.â
That perpetually angry part of him wanted to say something that would only make things worse, but he manages to put a lid on that. If thereâs anyone who deserves to lash out at him itâs you.
Heâll take whatever insult you have if it helps make you feel better.
âWe all know we fucked up and we want you back. Just come home, Y/N. If you know who I am, then you know Iâm more than happy to do things the hard way.â
âSo youâll use force to get your way. Wish I could say Iâm surprised, but Iâm not. You can pretend to be the well-read intellectual all you want, but youâll always be Crime Alley trash who knows nothing but violence.â
Ok, that hurt. And that lid is starting to get harder to keep on.
He knows heâll always be a man who uses his fists more than his words or head (those kinds of people never last long in the Alley), but heâs really tried to be more than that. He had to toughen up in order to survive back in the Alley, always hiding his love for literature and showing an attitude to the world, but when Bruce adopted him and he was able to become more than that little brat (despite all the cons living with a bastard who dressed like a bat entails).
âToo bad your mom wasnât the type of junkie who sells her kid for her next hit. Wouldâve saved the both of us a ton of trouble.â
Alright, so you know a lot of their dirty laundry. Shit. He already knew this probably wouldnât end well, but this is going off the rails faster than he thought.
âKid, I know youâre pissed at us and you have that right. Trust me, Iâve been pissed at Bruce for years, but you need really to come backââ
âAnd stop trying to relate to me, you asshat. You say you know how I feel about them, but you donât. You came back determined to kill Batman and show him how youâre better than him, but you were also crying like a little bitch and begging Daddy to love you.â
You laugh at him mockingly while heâs starting to shake in anger, taking deep breaths to temper his rage.
âDaddy, Daddy, kiss me, kiss me,â you mock. Then your face goes back to pissed as you walk closer to him and look him straight in the eye. âYouâre pathetic. Just like that whore, junkie of a mom. And your drunk of a dad.â
Thatâs when he loses it, despite his best efforts, and takes a swing at you. Oh well, heâs already in hot water with you, adding something else isnât going to do much damage. At least itâll be easy to drag you back to Gotham while youâre knocked out.
You drop the bag and catch his fist, stopping it no problem.
âHow,â he starts to say before you twist his fist and he lets out a yell in pain.
âJason Todd lashing out when faced with reality,â you say as you twist even more, bringing him to his knees. âHow predictable.â
With your left hand (the bag still in your hand), you grab him by the chin and force him to look at you and when he does, heâs genuinely scared at the joy he can see reflected in them.
Youâre taking pleasure in this; seeing him on his knees and at your mercy.
âBefore I forget, I owe you for the black eye you gave me when we first met. Unlike your mother, mine taught me to always make good on my debts.â
Before he can do or say anything, you punch him squarely in the right eye, letting go of him so heâs knocked back by the force of the punch. He lands on the hard pavement and lays there with his right eye throbbing from the punch, already swelling up.
âStay away from me, Jason. Next time, I wonât be so merciful.â
And with that, you step over him, unlock your door, and slam it shut, the sound of it being locked audible from his side.
âShit,â he hisses, sitting up and touching his eye, wincing when it throbs in pain.
How the hell did you do that? Youâre way smaller than him and you obviously donât hit the gym, so how did you manage to catch his fist and counter him? And how did you manage to punch him hard enough to really hurt? Seriously, heâs taken a few shots from Bane and that punch was definitely on that level.
âBâs gonna love hearing this,â he mutters to himself as he gets up.
He walks back to the rental car he parked at your curb only to discover all four tires were punctured.
âShit,â he yells, crouching to get a good look at the damage.
Something small and sharp punctured each tire and from what he could tell, it looks like something pierced the tire and snaked around it, making more holes.
He looks back at your house, but realizes thereâs no way you couldâve done it. He didnât see anything on you that couldâve done this. And no one else passed by while you were ripping him a new one.
So how the hell did this happen.
âFuck,â he whines, realizing standing around isnât going to do anything and pulls out his phone to call a tow truck.
Timâs been curious about things he doesnât understand all his life. Itâs true, if he saw something that he couldnât explain, he studied it, asked questions, and observed it until he finally understood it.
To say heâs curious about you is a gross understatement.
Heâs ashamed to admit when he first met you, he thought he had you figured out. From what news he was able to see, you were the product of a one-night stand between Bruce Wayne and Maria Gould, a moderately successfully writer, and after she was killed by a drunk driver leaving a casino after a night of drinking and losing money, you were moved to Gotham to live with Bruce.
And when he met you, he saw nothing under that story. You grew up in a normal house with a loving mother (truth be told, he was a little jealous about that back then), not a traveling circus like Dick or in the heart of a slum like Jason, nor did you possess any notable talent like gymnastics or brute strength, and you certainly didnât belong on the front lines, defending Gotham from crime.
You were average, nothing more, nothing less. End of story.
Well, heâs ashamed that he thought that way. Youâre his younger brother, damn it, you shouldnât have to possess anything to make him worthy of his attention. And he of all people knows what itâs like to be ignored by your family, so he shouldâve talked to you and treated you like a brother, not do what his parents did to him and completely forget you exist.
But heâs here to make amends, apologize to you, and bring you back home.
Also, as much as he hates to admit it, but heâs completely obsessed with you now. Heâs analyzed everything he could find on you and heâs incredibly curious how you went from getting mostly Bs and a few Cs to getting all As? Or how did you go about making your game when all you had was that sad Coding Games For Dummies to go on (he wouldâve loved to teach you to code)?
And of course, thereâs how you managed to push Bruce and block Jasonâs punch and give him a black eye. Both of them are easily the strongest out of everyone in the family, so how someone like you managed to take them down is nothing short of astounding (and concerning).
In fact, if he fails like Dick and Jason, he wants to at least find a way of obtaining a blood sample. The last time you had blood drawn was on your eighteenth birthday, none of it showing you even have the Meta Gene, but until he performs the test and sees the results himself, heâs keeping all options open.
âHello, Y/N,â he greets you as he sits in your booth at the Pearlâs Diner, a restaurant you routinely frequent.
You look up from your meal and your expression shifts in disgust.
âAre you fucking kidding me,â you spit, slamming your utensils down on the table. âAre you people really stalking me? Itâs been everyday with you people!â
Itâs true, Dick visited you two days ago, Jason was yesterday, and today is his turn to bring you back to the fold. Heâs really hoping he succeeds, because Steph and Cass are next, and Damian is last (he demanded to come and was pissed when Bruce sent him instead).
âCome on, Y/N, I just want to talk to you. Is that too much to ask for?â
âYes,â you instantly respond. âWhy are you even here in the first place, shouldnât you be stalking Mr. Wayne from the shadows?â
He hides his wince from you, but your words definitely hurt him.
Yes, he stalked Bruce, but there was nothing nefarious about it! He was fascinated by Batman and Robin and just wanted to know more!
âLook, I know youâre angry at us and you have every right to. We shouldâve done better and thereâs no excuse we can give that will ever erase the damage done to you.â
âGlad to know you understand that,â you say that with a raised eyebrow. âNow go away.â
âYou know I wouldnât be here just to say that. Iâm here to bring you back home.â
âGotham isnât my home,â you growl through grit teeth. âHow many times do I have to say that? Iâm never going back to that city of the damned and Iâm sure as hell never stepping foot in that fucking manor.â
On one hand, he gets why you feel about Gotham, itâs a city thatâs taken much from its people, itâs constantly dark and gloomy, and its atmosphere is constantly oppressive and intimidating. But on the other, heâs a born and raised Gothamite (no matter how much Jason says otherwise due to his upbringing) and heâs Red Robin, so he has a strong pride for his home. But, heâs willing to let it slide since he knows you had happy memories of Goodsprings and every memory you have of Gotham is negative (something he hopes to correct).
âI know why you feel that way, but no matter what you say or how you feel, Bruceâs DNA makes up half of yours. Like it or not, heâs your father and weâre your family. We realize we screwed up and we want you back.â
âYouâre wrong, heâs not my father, heâs a sperm donor.â He winces at how you view Bruce. âHell, my Momma probably took pity on him and gave him the best night heâll ever have. If I could, Iâd suck out all the Wayne DNA and give it back to him. I want nothing to do with him and I sure as hell donât want anything to do with you.â
Alright, this isnât going well (as he anticipated), so he needs to switch gears and get a blood sample. If Bruce is right and you have the Meta Gene, knowing your powers will go a long way. After they (he) studies every last molecule of your DNA and they find ways to counter your abilities, theyâll be able to bring you back home.
Sure, youâll be angry (probably more than now), but in time, youâll realize this was for the best; that you belonged with them and while you have the last name Gould, youâre a Wayne and your rightful place is the manor. Hell, heâs helping Bruce draft a story to tell the media why you moved back to the manor and plans for your gala, which will be the biggest event Gotham will ever see, complete with endless buffets, the finest music, and the cityâs biggest movers and shakers.
But in order for any of that to happen, he needs a blood sample. He glances down at the ring on his finger, which houses a hidden needle that will pierce your skin without you even feeling it and your blood will be housed in a small vial housed within the ring. He has a blood analyzer in his car, so he wonât have to wait to get to the manor in order to run the tests, he can do it once he leaves and read the results on the jet ride home.
âY/N,â he starts, reaching out to your hand, thankful youâre wearing a t-shirt. âPlease, come home.â
Almost there.
âAlfred misses you.â
Just a little moreâŠ
Then, you grab his wrist, halting him and squeezing it, making him wince in pain.
âWhy are you so eager to make me go back to Gotham,â you hiss, yanking his arm, causing him to jerk across the table. âLet me guess, now that Iâm gone, everyoneâs ignoring you? Theyâre treating you like your parents treated you?â
So Jason was right, you know all their secrets. Specifically, his issues with his parents and how he felt about their lack of affection towards him. Shit.
âDid it feel nice, Tim, ignoring me and pretending I didnât exist? Jack and Janet made you feel like shit for years and now you had the opportunity to do the same to someone else.â
He tries to flip his wrist to try to slide the ring across any exposed skin so he can take a blood sample, but you have a vice-like grip on it and he canât move it any; all he can do is look you in your hate-filled eyes.
âDo you ever think they knew something was wrong with you? Thatâs why they wanted nothing to do with you? Despite their best efforts, you came out so fucked up not even your own mother could love you. How pathetic.â
He tries to break free, but your hand doesnât budge at all. Hell, heâs using his Red Robin strength and itâs not budging at all. Seriously, what are you?
âIâm telling you this right now, Tim, stay away from me. All of you. I didnât lose twelve years in Gotham and spend the last four years creating my dream life just have you lot fuck it up.â You squeeze to the point it feels like youâll snap his wrist off and he bites his tongue to resist yelling out in pain. âIf you guys keep coming near me, you wonât live long enough to regret it.â
And with that, you throw him back into his booth, his wrist throbbing from the pain, and get up, walk to the waitress behind the counter up front to pay for your meal (which is unfinished), and leave.
He looks down at his wrist to see itâs definitely bruised.
Well, things just got more interesting.
Damian shouldnât be surprised the thereâs failed. Especially Drake, that misfit proves his inferiority at every turn and makes his poor breeding apparent.
Honestly, Father really shouldâve let him go instead of Greyson. Youâre his blood brother (granted, you come from a different mother than him, but Fatherâs DNA is what matters) and out of everyone in their family, heâs the only one besides Father capable of reaching you. The original plan was for Brown and Cain to come and bring you home, but a major Arkham breakout changed that.
Well, technically, Father said Brown and Cain were to come to you after all the inmates were returned to Arkham, but he used the breakout as a cover and took the jet to fly to Nevada. Father will no doubt complain about his actions, but heâll no doubt forget about his actions when he returns with you in tow.
Of course, he knows his transgressions against you. He remembers drawing his sword and drawing blood, he remembers the countless insults he spat at you and your mother, and he remembers sending his pets to hunt you for sport.
When he met you, he was honestly surprised when Pennyworth said you were Fatherâs firstborn, something not even Mother and Grandfather were aware of because they told him he was to be Bruceâs only blood son. After learning of your existence, he immediately became concerned about his role as heir to the Wayne legacy; after all, tradition states that everything of true value passes to the firstborn son and seeing you put his position as heir to the Bat at risk.
And then he lashed out, drawing blood and cursing you and your mother, who he now regrets calling a whore because he now knows she didnât intentionally share his bed, it was just the result of two adults making an idiotic mistake.
His time in the League gave him unrivaled perception and he could tell at a glance that you possessed no training whatsoever, nor did you possess any skill useful to fulfilling Fatherâs mission of combating Gothamâs criminals. You were raised in an average house and lived an average, unremarkable life.
You were no threat to him and knew nothing of what the family was really doing at night.
He knew that, but he felt the need to assert his place in the familyâs hierarchy and remind you that you were beneath all of them, even beneath Drake (of course he knows better, no one could be beneath Drake and you belong with him, underneath Father).
He spent the next few years going out of his way to make your life miserable, insulting you every chance he got, cruelly reminding you that your mother was dead, using his pets to chase you throughout the manor, and abusing Greysonâs favoritism for him to deflect any accountability when you tried to defend yourself.
Back then, he didnât see the value in having a biological connection to anyone because he viewed it as a danger to his position as heir to the Bat. Besides, he had more than enough âsiblingsâ due to Fatherâs need to adopt every orphan that crosses his path.
Now that heâs grown some surrounded by Father, Pennyworth, and the rest of his family (even Drake), he knows the value in having you by his side. To have someone heâs bound to by blood is to have a connection with another that canât be beaten by any other and he knows that he was a fool to spurn that gift.
He intends to make up for his transgressions by being the best brother imaginable; Greyson has shown him how a brother is supposed to be and he knows he can improve upon those methods to be better than Greyson. While Father plans on being the one to greet you every morning, he intends on being by your side, involving you in everything he does (except at night when heâs Robin; even if you have the Meta Gene, you have no place surrounded by the filth of Gotham), including painting, where he has plans on painting a portrait of you and him and hang it in your room.
Of course, thereâs still the matter of bringing you back home. While he knows that you most likely despise him the most, nothing will hinge the fact that you and him are brothers. There has to be some rational part of you that will be receptive to his words.
He approaches you from behind while youâre crouched at your motherâs grave, talking to it as if it was her. He looks over you to see her tombstone:
Maria Gould
May Her Sails Point Towards Heaven
The tombstone is between two clusters of red lilies that seem to have been planted there, most likely by you if he had to guess.
As he nears you, you slowly turn around and face him, your expression of mourning shifting to a look of disgust and hatred (an expression that unnerves him slightly).
âWhat fresh hell is this,â you spit out, standing to your full height (you mustâve inherited your height from your mother because heâs slightly taller than you). âIt wasnât enough that your father had to come and ruin my big night, now you have to come and desecrate my Mommaâs grave?â
âBrother, Iââ
Before he can say another word, you close the distance between the two of you and wrap your hand around his throat, silencing him.
âYou have no right calling me that! After you made my life a living hell!â
He brings his hands up to your arm and tries to break your hold, but unsurprisingly, he canât. When Drake told them about your grip on his wrist, he attributed it to his natural weakness, but there may be some truth to the theory of you being a meta.
âAfter what you did, I should snap your neck. Wouldnât that be a bitch, to die by the hand of someone you deemed to be of âill breeding?ââ
He regrets ever calling your breeding into question (something only reserved for Drake); he wants to say he takes it back and he deeply regrets it, but right now, heâs struggling to breath.
Just then, you toss him aside, he coughs as he quickly fills his lungs with air.
âYouâre lucky weâre at my Mommaâs grave, or Iâd kill you.â
You spit at his feet to show your disgust for him before storming off to your nearby car. He watches as you drive off before looking down at the ring on his finger, the same kind Drake hoped to get a blood sample from you; he takes it off and looks on the inside to see the vial filled with your life essence.
âOnce again, Drake, I have demonstrated why I deserve the Wayne name and you donât.â
He pockets the ring and makes his way to the rental car. He had hoped to convince you to return to the manor, but he was content to extracting a blood sample to answer some questions they have about you.
You might know their secrets, but theyâll soon level the playing field and when they do, they can bring you home.
And when they do, heâll be the brother you deserve.

Platonic Yan!Batfam X dazai! GNreader X Yandere DC
Forgotten child
Pro. Ch.1 (you are here) Ch.2
No longer humanâŠ.
The name of your ability to nullify any type of meta power or other ability within your radius.
Something that your mother made you aware of before she went along with the clouds.
Mori did once told you that she also had an ability, the Setting Sun
An ability that allow the user to give out the sense of despair and hopelessness to their targetâŠ.
Upon hearing about it you started to wonder if your mother once use it against you
Months had gone by yet the manor felt emptier than ever.
A lingering presence of a child who was life greatest failure or was it life that failed the child?
The presence wasnât a blissful innocence and joy but instead a lingering sense of sadness and self-destruction of the child.
The place where the presence is almost as if the child is there has to be their bedroom.
A place where the child find solace and comfort,
A place where Alfred mostly goes to whenever he has the chance.
As much as he wants to denies it
Your path of darkness had already started the moment you were born.
Born not out of love but instead a result of a stringless and loveless action during intimacy.
Alfred knew that there was no hope in saving you from the dark pit of despair and sadness but maybe, just maybe if you were surrounded by care and love instead of indifference and neglect, you wouldâve turn out differently.
Alfred raised you with all the care and love he could give yet it still doesnât stop you from being self-destructive and suicidal.
He knows about your struggles with fitting in with your peers.
Your struggles to overcome your self-destructive tendencies.
Especially with how often he helped with bandaging yourself again and again.
He secretly keep pictures of you throughout the years youâve stayed in the mansion.
Especially when he took you to a fun fair, away from Gotham.
But that still doesnât give you the light of hope.
He prayed that one day youâre surrounded by the love that you needed and want.
But he hopes you wonât hate him for what heâs about to do
Bruce know whenever his children comes in and out of the manor, yet he couldnât help but felt as if someone is missing.
He thought that one of them is probably playing some type of prank on him until Alfred came knocking on the door before entering.
âMaster Bruce? Iâve come with your tea prepared and old news to bringâ
âOld news? Then do tellâ putting down all of his paperworkâs, tapping the pen down on the table
âYouâre second child had move out a few months back, itâs a sudden but they didnât bring anything with them.â
Bruce stare at Alfred in confusion. Jason move out, since when did he move in in the first place?
Alfred gave Bruce a knowing look, as if he can read his mind before opening his mouth to speak.
âIt is not master Jason, he is your third child. I suggest to take another guessâ
Bruce kept a confused look and thinking on who exactly move out from the manor.
Itâs definitely not Dick or Jason, nor is it Tim since heâs currently in his room, or is Damian whoâs too young to even move out.
Or coul- no, it couldnât beâŠ.
The bitter truth struck to him like a pile of sadness and despair came hugging his very body.
His first biological child.
The one who join after Dick.
His precious child.
[N] Wayne
Does he even remember how you look like? Actually scratch that, did he even have time or actually look at you throughout your life in the manor?
To add the salt to the wound, Alfred once again speak up.
âI had inform you of their departure but you were quick to dismissed it. I decided that it be best for you to be inform of it the second timeâ
A sense of dread continue to hug Bruceâs body like a blanket, as if a sadness and the guilt of a child had been passed on to another.
Did he ever had a proper conversation to you, or even attend any events at school with you?
God he hopes not.
He doesnât even remember how your voice sounds like or even whatâs youâre likings to simple things like food or even hobby.
âAlfred, how old are they now exactly?â
Itâs embarrassing for a parent to even ask that simple question about their child.
âTheyâve just turn 22 a month ago, from what I know, theyâre currently living in a apartmentâ
God how many birthdays did he missed.
He didnât even gave you a simple card and a cake, actually have you ever even had a birthday cake?
Or even any celebrations?
âAlfred, if you may, lead me to their roomâ
He wants to know what type of person you are, or at least an idea of it.
What a pitiful excuse of a father isnât it?
You blankly stare at the dead bodies of the people who tried to kidnap you to threaten the port mafia boss.
Having no emotions In your eyes, bandages being redder and dirtier than ever, and 4 subordinates behind you.
âBring their body to the slaughterhouse, at least their body would be useful in the marketâ
They were quick to obey to your command, like little rabbits afraid to get killed by the wolf.
The blood on the floors were left alone, and the deafening silence was your company.
Keyword : Was.
Youâre not stupid to not know youâre being watch.
By Bruceâs other child no less, the one who was presumed dead by the members.
âYou can come out now Jason. Or should I call you by your vigilante name, Red Hood?â
You watch as he slowly show himself to you, putting his gun down, hands holding nothing.
You just blankly stare at him before putting on a small smirk.
âTry to put me in jail? Or did you change your mind when you saw it was me?â
You change your expression to a blank one, the one that shows the darkness in your eyes and the feeling of the grim reaper surrounding you.
In Jason eyes, thereâs something wrong with your silhouette.
Is it the way youâre staring at him? Or the feeling of despair, death and sorrows that clings to you.
It was as if youâre not even a human being.
You turn back and walk away from him, having enough of one of the famous vigilante of Gotham.
âYou can take the leftover bullets if you want, must be frustrating to use the rubber onesâ

Shades of Cool
NEGLECTFUL!PLATONIC!YAN!batfam x GN!reader
synopsis : growing up with a shit mom and constant step-dads and mom's boyfriends, your view on life has grown pretty bleak. you just want to die, since it doesn't seem to get better than this. things can't get any worse, can they?
wsp guys. it's been pretty long, huh?... OK IM SORRY FOR NOT POSTING IT QUICKLY. here, damn đ. anyways, i hope yall enjoy n im glad u guys liked the first chapter. lets just hope this one lives up to yalls expectations đ. follow me and repost this if u want a chapter three. also I NEED SOMEONE TO EDUCATE ME ABOUT SUNDAY FROM HSR BC I WANNA WRITE FICS ABOUT HIM SO BAD SO PLS SOMEONE EDUCATE ME N ALSO IF U KNOW LOVE AND DEEP SPACE??? PLS HIT ME UP AND EXPLAIN THIS LORE BC I WANNA WRITE YANDERE FICS FOR THEM SO BAD
âWhy are balls called balls when testicles sounds hella fancier?â
At your friendâs bizarre question, the face of your other friend, Zarian, twinges in disgust. âJayelene⊠why do you feel the need to put that out there?â
You huff in amusement, focusing on your pizza before what Jaylene says ruins your entire mood.
âIâm just saying! Testicles just seems more appropriateâ€the type of fancy shit drake and his family would say.â
Tim Drake WayneâŠ
Dinner with him and his freak-a-zoid family was like trying to make it past no-manâs land without any help to shield you from the straight up chilling vibes they gave off with their constant comments about bat facts. Bats. The atmosphere during the entire time you spent there was dreadful and quite literally heavy since Tim's youngest little brother wanted to sneak stares at you as if you wouldnât notice his bug-looking eyes creeping into your soul.
Rich people really are weird, huh?
The Wayne family is nothing like how you expected them to be. Theyâre supposed to be cold, mysterious, and irresistibly enchanting, but all youâve got are creepy vibes and a strong urge to stay away from them as much as possible. From the way Mr. Wayne made that weird comment about your father in the limo to how forcibly happy Richard or âDickâ was with you, youâve come to an understanding that rich people are complete lunatics.
The Wayne family is full of a bunch of lunatics.
And youâre not afraid to voice that.
âThere you go again,â Jaylene sighs when she notices the irritated expression on your face. âItâs never that serious, [Name]. You just hate everyone.â
âNo, you don't get it! They were creepy as hell! Like⊠Like bats in dark caves coming at you all at once. They talk funny, they look funnyâ€they act funny! What normal man name drops your motherâs name after knowing each other for about thirty minutes?â
Zarian huffs in amusement. âThatâs the creepy part. How does Mr. Wayne know your name?â
âI dont know.â You run your fingers through your hair and lean back against the booth seat. âI don't want anything to do with them. Billionaire or not, how the hell does he know my motherâs name.â
It was perhaps towards the end of your stay at the Wayneâs manor for dinner, and you knew you had to go home, so you had largely hinted at leaving to Drake. Everything had gotten wrapped up, but when you were just about to leave, Mr. Wayne had told you, âmake sure to tell [M/n] I said hi.â
You could only stare at him in shock as your body carried along, because how does a man as famous and wealthy as bruce wayne know your motherâ€your mother? Heâs the chief executive officer of Wayne Enterprises yet mentions your mother?
That moment alone is enough to wave every red flag in your brain that screams at you, telling you something is up with these shady people. The only question is what? What can a billionaire possibly want from you? Out of everything the world has to offer, the most influential billionaire in America wants to target some meager high school kid?
What do these people want from you? Is it a rich people thing to play around with those below you? Well, you guess it probably is. Like, is Mr. Wayne gonna pop out with his soulless eyes and say, âyouâre my long lost child?â or something?
You still donât know why youâre being a goat stuffed before slaughtering. These people want something from you, but you? Youâve got nothing to offer that they could want. Why the hell do they even bother? If there's one thing you really hate, itâs being left in the dark like this. Not knowing is terrifying. It's dangerous. Not knowing means not being prepared, and if youâre not prepared, you wonât make it out. Damn it, you shouldâve booked it the moment Mr. Wayne mentioned your father in the limo. Movies and shows always display rich people as eccentric and psychopathic weirdos, and now youâre finally believing it.
Damn it.
Youâre in danger. Okay.
Maybe thatâs an exaggeration. But maybe itâs not.
Youâve watched enough true crime and have enough intuition and trust in your gut to know when something is wrong.
Itâs not adding up.
Youâre not dumb. You see all the warnings there, but what if you're exaggerating. What if this is just the nature of the Waynes, and you think youâre special enough to be noticed by them? Mr. Wayne is a damn billionaire! Heâs got the money to do whatever he wants, so itâs only natural for him to do a background check on everybody that interacts with his sons, right?
Itâs all in your head⊠Itâs all in your head.
Sighing, you stare at the plate of food in front of you, appetite long gone. Still, you grab a fork and continue to eat as Zarian and Jaylene scream back and forth next to you. Drake, who had accompanied the three of you to the diner after practice, has left, thankfully. He left as soon as his food arrived while talking about some family emergency, and honestly, youâre pretty damn grateful for that.
Ever since dinner at his house, heâs surrounded you like a pillow smothering you, and you canât do anything about it. Heâs a billionaireâs son, for fuckâs sake.
It doesnât take long for you and your friends to finish up, and you all part ways at the door of the diner before you clutch the straps of your backpack and walk around the city endlessly. This is a habit for you nowâ€a way to put off going home as much as possible ever since you found out your motherâs boyfriend doesnât come home until one or two in the morning.
That balding, ugly, sleazy piece of shit.
Heâs as gross as every other man your motherâs brought home under the terribly veiled illusion that heâll provide her a good life and treat her right. No matter how many times you try to tell that blind bitc⊠No. It's wrong. Itâs not your motherâs fault.
But it sometimes feels like that, though.
Most motherâs destroy their own lives for their children, yet yours cannot even think about leaving the man that beats her child on a daily. Those types of mothers leave their spouses the second they see something wrong, while your mother treats those finger-print bruises around your neck like a necklace instead of abuse.
Youâve given up on her. You gave up on her back when you were eleven years old locked in a room with her boyfriend, and she didnât listen. Or when you were twelve. Or thirteen. Or fourteen. Or fifteen. Or sixteen. Or seventeen. And now eighteen.
And each day feels like a repetition of the same. Wake up, go to school, practice, walk around, go home, get beat, and sleep like none of it all happens. Itâs a routine you despise with every fiber of your beingâ€makes you wanna jump over Gotham City Bridge before thinking about returning home because who would want to? Who wants this average life?
A life where youâre not happy enough, not sad enough. Not good enough, not bad enough. Not energized enough, not tired enough. You feel like a survivor of a plane crash floating on a raft at the center of the endless ocean with no way out. Everything just seems so vast, wide, and unreachable. How can you find the shore on a simple raft? How can you find a way out of inescapable misery if itâs not by drowning?
Youâve been waiting to find the shore, but itâs been a whole eighteen years since youâve found yourself floating along the ocean.
That whole âitâll get betterâ shit is a tragic lie.
Whatever.
It doesnât matterâ€not anymore, at least. Youâre going to get far away from this place and never look back. Never have to relieve this wretched city. Never have to be confined by chains again. Youâve only a few months left before youâre free.
Until then, youâll have to be patient and go home because the sun has fully disappeared.
Nothing but satellites twinkle in the disgustingly polluted sky of Gotham City, and the streets have come to a staggering halt as you stroll about the sidewalks, trying to find the longest path to get home. One in the morning is always the perfect time in Gotham because itâs too late and too early to be outside, so itâs generally safe for a walk.
Of course, the universe likes to prove you wrong at every point.
The sound of a thud followed by a pained groan behind you has your legs locked and ready to run with your brain screaming alerts, but you take a deep breath and turn around. How bad can it get, anyways? The sight before you surprised you nonetheless. Itâs⊠Nightwing, a Bludhaven hero, here in Gotham, just randomly popping up behind you?
With clear bleeding cuts and sprouting bruises across his body.
In the random alley you just happen to be in?
No. Youâre looking into it too much.
His eyes lock onto and they make you freeze right then and there like heâs cast some spell upon you. But thatâs for a cold, brief second before youâre hooking your thumbs under the straps of your backpacks and turning around hot on your heels, refusing to spare him a single second.Â
You even hear him murmur a strained, âwait,â but you don't care.Â
Itâs rude, mean, cruel, and itâs also none of your business. All you simply do is walk ahead to your approaching doom with an pit of unease and bitter understanding of your helplessness in your stomach. You can already feel the soon-to-be new bruises blooming along your back.
Youâre not a good person.
But, really, who is?
Smoking really does skill.
But now you know why people do it.
Each drag is more out of necessity than it is a choice ever since youâve met your friendâs plug at the dumb age of sixteen, but it's a way to dull the harsh truth of reality. The world just fades into nothing but muted and mixed colors like the loud city underneath your balcony it blurs into a faint hum the longer you stare at the spiral puffs of smoke that disappear into the air.Â
Everythingâs bitterâ€the joint and you.
Really bitter at the blood semi-dried on your face and the dull ache along your back.
Youâve got about an hour and a half until you have to head out to school, so what other way is there to spend it than smoking away your brain? The jointâs a temporary escape, but it helps you stall whatever new feeling of despair youâll feel for the day. Until youâre interrupted by your phone buzzingâ€the sound still a dull hum in your ears
â... Hello?â
â[Name]!â
Zarianâs voice?
âWhere the hell are you? Hurry up and get to school or else youâre gonna get in trouble for not helping to set up the club fair, and coach will be on our ass! And don't forget to bring money for the tickets!â
Coach?... Club fair?... Club fair! Holy shit!
Your eyes shoot open, and you frantically scramble up, tossing the joint over the balcony railing before hectically staggering through the living room like a drunk man. Damn it, how could you be so clueless and forget such an important event? Especially one you need money for! Damn itâ€damnit! What do you do?
⊠Mom! Sheâs got a box of money somewhere in her closet, right? Youâve seen it before! It's just twenty dollars, and she wont notice. Okay⊠Okay. Youâre quick to get ready. You wash away all the blood thatâs dried on your face, brush your teeth, and change into baggy jeans and a clean shirt before storming into your motherâs bedroom and rummaging through her things.Â
Sheâs off at work. Her bastard boyfriend doesn't come home until late at night, which means heâs probably already taken money for the day. Okay. That's fine. They won't notice.
But you can't find anything! What the hell? Where is that fucking box? You couldâve sworn it was there on the top shelf last night, but as you swipe your hands across everything on the shelf, you canât find it. All of a sudden, something made of wood hits the top of your head and falls to the ground with a crack. You hiss, palm moving to cover where you got hit, but your eyes land on the box that now has money strewn all across the floor and a broken⊠false bottom?
What the fuck.
You pull away at the rest of the false bottom to only be met with countless photos of you as a child with your mother. Momâs shit boyfriend had all the family photos taken down for some weird reason, so theyâve been here this entire time? All of these photos are full of you throughout every stage of your life, but some have different people in them as well. Their faces are either scratched out or theyâre ripped out of the photo entirely.
From what you can gather, the figures are a man and what seems to be a teenage boy. The absurdity and even slight creepiness of the scratched out faces has you laughing, yet even with your now dulled senses, your eyes land on a photo you failed to notice earlier. Maybe youâre hallucinating. There must be something wrong with your brain. Or your eyes. The universe must be playing with you because is that a photo of you and a teenage-looking dick grayson?
Your eyes widen because it looks just like the strange man you had the unfortunate opportunity of having a conversation with during dinner with the Waynes. Itâs him! More importantly, why the hell is he holding a âthree year oldâ youâs hand? You probably should be screaming. Yelling. Maybe panicking? But all you can do is shuffle through the rest of the box before your fingers graze against something metal that has your heart jumping.
Itâs a small camera.
With a bat engraved on its side.
Ears ringing so loudly in your head you can't even think, you wipe your teary and red eyes hastily before grabbing a twenty dollar bill, putting everything except for the photo and camera in the box, set it back on the closet shelf, and hastily grab your backpack before making way to school.
The second you reach the damned place, you seek out your now three friends and drop into a seat with a heavy thud, sighing and meeting Tim's eyes with a burning gaze.
âYou mean to tell me [Name] found the camera? And you decided to tell me after school?â
Time Drake Wayne sighs and runs his fingers through his black hair, shrugging apathetically while scrolling through every photo in his phone that heâs taken of you during the club fair. His brother, Richard, is pacing throughout his room anxiously as he rambles off about their latest fuckup.Â
âLook, Bruce doesn't let any slip ups happen,â Tim murmurs in exasperation. âHe wouldn't let this happen because [Name]âs mom and him talked this morning. Relax, he probably knows.â
It's not a lot, but itâs enough to calm Richard down. The man takes a deep breath but finds himself sitting down next to Tim, trying to get a good look at the pictures. âHow mad was [Name]?â
âHigh, for starters, but clearly pissed off. Very observant, too.â
âDonât tell anyone else. Not until Bruce gives us the okay.â

The Court Jester Part 2
Yandere Batfam x GN Reader
Pt. 1, Pt. 3, Pt. 4
As Batman questioned his life choices, his other children listened in on the conversation.
"So that's what happened to (Y/N). I thought they had just moved out." Tim stated.
"How did that weak-" Damian started but was cut off by Tim. "You didn't even know them! They were nice and understood how important our work was, so they tried to stay out of the way!"
Dick and Jason just blocked out the arguing as they started to remember all the things (Y/N) did for them. How they tried to help even in the smallest ways. Like how they would always make sure there was a fresh pot of coffee or how they would rotate the types of cookies in the manor so everyone got one they liked.
When (Y/N) first moved out, the first thing the family realized was how much they did. It felt weird the first couple of weeks, but they eventually got used to it. Seeing (Y/N) like this made them worry, even if some of them wouldn't admit it (Damian). This awoken something in each of them.
Dick saw someone who was with him since the beginning. Someone he could always trust to be there for him when he needed it, and now he could see it was gone. The twisted smile on their face showed all the pressure he and his family put on them, and he felt nothing but guilt.
Jason saw someone who went through something similar to him. He saw the torture in their eyes. He heard the manipulation in the words that came out their mouth. He knew that if he could just get to them and talk like they used to, it would all be fine. He was determined to get them back, and this time, they weren't leaving his sight.
Tim saw the calculation that went into this trap. He saw the brain of (Y/N), who even in this state was brilliant. He saw the planning, the research, the trail and error of each detail in this plan, all to catch Batman and have a conversation with him before your "Dad" got there. He wanted to bounce ideas off you. He wanted to talk about plans with you. He even wanted to just hang out and chill with you, but in order to do that, he would need to get you back. And when you came back, he would do all those things with you.
Stephanie saw the abandoned side of you. She realized that she didn't know anything about you. Your age, your favorite color, your birthday, she didn't even know your last name. She knows what it's like to have a distant relationship with a parent figure, and she wants to help. She wants to know all of those things. She wants to know you. And if you let her (you will), she wants to be the closest person to you.
Damian saw a weak follower who needed not only to learn but also needed to be protected. Even though you are older than him, he can see a flame in you that with the right training and teacher could become a full-on blaze. He would be that teacher. He would be the one you look up to. Nobody else. He just needed to get you back to start training.
They all looked at each other as if thinking the same thing,"Let's go get (Y/N)."
Back with (Y/N)...
"Dads gonna be so proud when he sees this! I mean, look at you! You look totally defeated!" (Y/N) said between giggles. They were giddy. They had talked to dad about if they could try something with the Bat, and surprisingly, he agreed. After the Bat was caught, they sent the signal to their father so they could show off their work.
Batman was tied to a chair. His utility belt on the floor as they made him make a choice. Drop your utility belt, or I will kill these two parents and make a boy and a girl orphans. They knew what they were doing. They knew it was wrong. But God did it feel good. To have his eyes looking at them and having him see what they truly are. Not their mother but (Y/N). Even if they look a little different now.
As the Bat was beginning to start a sentence the door busted open.
"Hello Peanut!" The Joker exclaimed as he came in. "Look at all the fine work you've done. My little Jester".
-------------------------------------------------------
Thank you so much for all the support on the first part of this! Everytime I see your guys support I am baffled at how wonderful you all are. Quick question do you want this to be completely platonic or do you want some people from the family to be romantic? Also should I add more people from the DC Universe? Thank you so much for reading!
