!! I'm glad you liked them @violent138 ! I was worried it was too depressing a take for what sounded like it was possibly intended as a fluffy fix it. Like how weird would this be for Dick on his own? He's just lost his parents and this random rich Settled guy has just borderline kidnapped him and, another kid who looks a lot like him? And want's them to play with the neighbours kid who's semi abandoned and ALSO looks alot like him, the other kid, and actually like this Rich Guy? Wait, he's a What? What's a playboy? Like imagine the three of them (Dick, Tim, Jason) Launching into some kind of Conspiracy that actually Bruce is secretly their dad, and he's only just found out. Dick is furious at the implication that his mom cheated ("Well, some of the rumours say he likes men and women so maybe they all did it tog-" "aLALLAL I CANNOT HEAR YOU!!" Dick shrieks, hands over his ears and horrified at the turn in this conversation) This misunderstanding is not helped when Damian shows up at the manor, declaring himself the blood son and is clear that he only wasn't here because his father did not know about him. When challenged on how he knows he's the only blood son (because really, the others are desperate to figure this out) Damian say's because his mother says so, but an argument then breaks out over whether all of their parents knew and hid it from Bruce, (The graysons because they didn't want to loose their son to a settled life, The todds because they had no way to realistically contact bruce wayne, the drakes to avoid the scadal) and if Bruce found all of them after finding out about Damian and that's why he found all of them - because discovering one secret child meant he went looking and found a bunch of others.

Time-warped or travel scenario where Bruce gets launched back into a younger version of himself with all the memories and the first thing he does is goes and gets Dick Grayson right after his parents' death, then pick up Jason, arrange about a million playmates to get Tim out of his house, and once he has those kids happy and taken care of, he goes off to find Cass, helps Steph with her dad, and leaves a very pointed voice-mail for Talia.

Alfred thinks he's more mentally ill than usual for knowing exactly which orphans and as he pointedly reminds Bruce, "children whose parents are still very much alive" he's trying to steal and adopt.

Bruce heatedly replies that they're his kids and that he's going to do everything right this time, rendering Alfred absolutely speechless until Bruce asks if Alfred would be able to make dinner for his new brood of kids.

"Try and remember who you're speaking to Master Bruce, I've thrown dinner parties with less notice"

"Great because I have a list of allergies and some notes on favourite foods."
