[batsythoughts]

we want more giggles

Because you all have asked so nicely, here the continued adventures of Giggles and the rest of the Wayne family. Meeting Mama Harley and Auntie Ivy addition

It had been a couple weeks since little Giggles had come to live in Wayne Manor

Everyone enjoyed the new surge of life that came with having a four year old around. They even set up a schedule for who would stay behind at night to help Alfred with potential issues that would sudden appear

Bruce had set up a couple of appointments to make sure Giggles was on the right level of education for a child of that age

During the day, Jason would help with teaching letters since that was an easier thing for a toddler to process

For one hour each day, he would say one letter at a time and Giggles would have to write it on a whiteboard

It was near the end of one of those sessions when a knock sounded from the front door

Alfred went to get it, expecting one of the boys to have a delivery of some kind showing up

On the porch stood a very excited Harley Quinn and slightly calmer Poison Ivy

Harley clutches a brand new blanket as she eagerly asks if her baby was really alive and now living with the Wayne family

Alfred had a soft smile on his face as he encouraged both the women in. Telling them that Giggles had been settling in quite well with the whole family

Harley expresses her gratitude as she explains that she hadn't know that her child was alive for all this time because the Joker said they died immediately after the birth. She would never have allowed that kind of treatment to her 'sweetums' otherwise

Alfred listens intently as he lets her vent all the emotions she was feeling. Leading the women to the living room as Jason gave Giggles a pat on the head

Harley let out a sudden noise of excitement as she rushed over and scooped the toddler into her arms with a big smile. Placing kisses all over their face while rambling about how excited she was to see her baby

Jason watched as Harley put Giggles back down before unfolding the blanket on the couch for the kid to get a look at it

Harley encourages Giggles to feel it to make sure she picked one that was soft enough for her baby to enjoy using

Giggles looked confused at what Harley was saying as they wiped their cheeks where she had kissed them

It took a few more words of encouragement, but Giggles cautiously does feel the blanket before mumbling that it felt okay before going over to Jason

Harley's smile falls as she watched her baby go and seek comfort from someone else while she was right there

Ivy came over and sat beside Harley on the floor and asking if Giggles remember her and if they knew who Harley was to them

They got a small nod in response as Jason's neck became the hiding spot of Giggles' face

He asked what was the matter was since they knew Harley was their mom and he thought it would probably be a happier occasion to the little one

Tiny hands grabbed his shirt as he hears a small whisper that breaks his hear:

"He said mama didn't want me."

Jason gently shifts Giggles onto his laptop be able to look at Harley while stilll having the option to look away

He quickly assured Giggles that the Joker lied about Harley not wanting her child and that she was here because she wanted to be apart of their life now

Harley's shoulders slumped at what Jason said, quickly explaining that she had been told Giggles was sick and died after having given birth and she thought it was true

Ivy joined in by saying Harley was so happy hearing the news of Giggles being alive, she had already been making plans to potentially spend time together

It goes silent for a moment as Giggles continues to hold onto Jason with a quiet whine

Harley looks around the room for a second before noticing the Batman toy. She grinned as she grabbed it while saying that she was kinda sorta friends with Batman

Giggles perks up slightly while looking over at Harley with skeptical eyes at the news

Ivy noticing a shift in demeanor, eagerly adds that the two of them had many interactions with Batman over the years

Harley handed the toy over while saying that the Bat would be really honored to know such a unique child looked up to him

Giggles had a miniature grin while taking the toy back with a quiet 'no way'

Jason quickly joins in by saying he had seen all of them on the news together talking to one another

The child laughed while looking between all of them and saying they were just making it up

The three of them shared a smile while saying that they knew what they knew

Harley leaned a little closer while asking if there was anything that Giggles liked to do for fun

Soon they were all at the dining table with crayons and different pieces of paper as they each colored

Alfred came in with drinks for them all before asking what everyone would want for lunch

Harley quickly stands up while exclaiming that she could make everyone some mac and cheese (she might not have much experience with kids or cooking, but everyone loves mac and cheese)

Alfred tries to assure Harley that he can take care of making the food, but she was adamant with making it herself

After getting everything ready, Harley began making lunch with Alfred close by, just in case

In the dining room, Ivy smiles over at the child as they put the finishing touches on a butterfly drawing

She asked what Giggles thought of Harley so far. Giggles said that she was definitely nicer than the Joker had said

Ivy smiled while discreetly typing a quick message Joker, threatening to feed him to her plants for everything he said and did to this little ray of sunshine

After some time had passed, Harley and Alfred had come in with plates for everyone to eat (even one for Alfred, Harley insisted)

Giggles helped Jason move all the papers and crayons away before everyone started to eat

Giggles gave Harley a happy 'thank you' after eating a couple of spoonfuls

Harley felt proud of herself for making a good meal for her little one as she gently takes Ivy's hand

It goes quiet for a minute before Jason quietly suggests that maybe they could stay for dinner tonight

Harley begins to say she doesn't want to intrude and only wanted to check up on Giggles for the day

Alfred is the one to say that he would not allow the ladies to leave before that got to know how Giggles got along with the rest of the family

Ivy says that they would love to stay as they did have something they wanted to talk to Bruce about anyways

Alfred says that they would all appreciate having them for dinner and he would make sure to have enough food for everyone

Giggles gives a happy clap at the news before asking what they would want to do

Once everyone was finished with lunch, they went back to the living room

Jason picked up the book he was currently reading as he just sat close by while give Harley and Ivy the ability to bond with Giggles

Harley, trying to get a small of understanding of what all her child liked, asked if they wanted to watch a movie or if there was a favorite show that was on

Jason quickly said that Scooby-Doo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and Bluey were a couple of favorites (there's just something about talking dogs)

Ivy quickly switched on Courage because it was the first one that she found when searching

The show plays on as Giggles sat beside Harley, who was gently running her fingers through her child's hair

Ivy was on the other side of Giggles as her arm rested on the back of the couch as she smiled at the two of them

The show continues to play on as Giggles starts to lean into Harley's side with a small yawn

Ivy lowers the volume on the TV a little as Harley began to move to lay down with Giggles in her arms

Harley gets the blanket that she brought and places it over the both of them

It doesn't take long for Giggles to fall asleep for a nap as the show continues to play in the background

Jason begins to flip the page of his book as he says they can change the show if they wanted. He did it all the time with some crime show that you also seemed interested in when it was on

While Courage was not the worse show for a kid to like, they didn't have to be told twice before changing to a different show

Harley placed a soft kiss to Giggles head as she continued laying down on the cushions

Ivy ran her fingers through Harley's hair with a smile at the whole situation they were in

It didn't take long for Tim and Damian to come home from school as they took off their shoes

Tim went to get a snack from the kitchen before going to the living room to work on a couple of assignments that he had

He started working on his papers before lifting his head in confusion as he looked over at the couch. He barely even registered the two villains as he walked over to the coffee table

Damian walked in as he looked at all of them. Shaking his head as he went to go check on his animals while muttering about Alfred getting his own collection

Tim, still mildly confused, went back to doing his homework. If Jason wasn't concerned about them being here, it probably wasn't a big deal

Giggles begins to slowly stir in Harley's arms as they slowly wake up. When their eyes open, a huff escapes them while still laying down

Harley reluctantly sits up and stretched her back. When she was done, she rests her head on Ivy's shoulder while brushing back Giggles hair

The child soon sat up and looked around the room. After seeing Tim sitting on the ground, quickly looking around again

"Where's Dami?"

"He's out in the barn, kiddo. He'll come back in soon."

Giggles gave a small whine at that, but didn't push the subject. None of the family allowed them out in the barn, saying it would be best when Giggles was older

Ivy was about to change the channel, but stopped when she noticed Giggles paying extreme attention to the screen. Even more than when the cartoon was on earlier

The show continues to play on with no interruptions when Damian comes walking back in from the barn

He sits down on the far end of the couch as he looks over at the group with a critical eye. Wondering if there was potentially a trap that would come with them being there

(He barely admits caring, but that kid doesn't need to go through anything else they didn't deserve)

When a commercial break had come along, Giggles looked over at Damian with a grin

Going over to his side of the couch, the toddler just stared at him while waiting for something

Damian didn't even look as he reachs a hand out and rests it on Giggles' forehead. Shaking his hand around gently before pushing the toddler backwards on the cushions with a smirk

Harley almost gets upset until the sound of laughter fills the room as Giggles gets back up to face Damian again

He softly says no as his focused on the screen. But the drawn out 'please' caused him to repeat the actions one more time before saying it was the last time

Tim snorts at that as he puts away the homework he had. Carefully putting them away in his bag before standing up with a quiet groan as he begins walking towards the kitchen

"Alfred's currently in there. He won't let you walk out with any form of caffeine this late in the day."

Tim stops short as Jason closes his book. The smirk on his face irritating Tim further as he sits on the couch near Ivy

Giggles quickly got off and went to the kitchen. Coming back with an armful of juice boxes

Going over to Tim first, Giggles hands out the juice boxes to everyone before settling in beside Harley again

Tim grins over at Jason with a raised brow before starting to drink from his box

Everyone watched the show in peaceful some time until the front door opened. Both Dick and Bruce arriving back to the manor at the same time that day

Harley and Ivy perk up at the sound of the men coming into the manor. The two sharing a glance before looking back at Giggles with concern

With the routine that the family formed after Giggles came to them, Dick immediately went to the living room to do his self appointed oldest brother duties (surprise uppies, cuddle times, and sibling gossip)

Dick stops in his tracks for a moment when he sees the two women sitting on the couch. They look back and make eye contact with him

It lasts a few seconds before he gives them a smile before reaching over the couch and lifting Giggles up

The child laughs as Dick lightly spins around before moving to sit down himself

Bruce comes walking in a little after Dick with a deep breath. Not completely surprised by the fact Harley was there. He was most shocked it took her this long to finally come over

When she noticed Bruce come into the area, Harley held Ivy's hand as the two stood up. Both of them going over to him as they expressed their gratitude for him taking in the little one

Ivy quietly said that their was something that they did want to talk about in private if he was willing to hear them out

He gave a quick nod as he guided the two to his study so all the children wouldn't overhear whatever was going to be said

When he closed the door, he fully expected to have to argue that he wasn't going to just hand Giggles over to Harley entirely

She might be the mother, but he couldn't fully deny that the situation could end up bad with everyone no matter how hard anyone tired

"Could we have Giggles stay over a couple of weekends every month?"

The confusion was clear on his face as Harley's words sink in. He blinks at the women for a moment before asking them to explain

Harley calmly says that while she does love the fact her child was alive, she knew she might not be able to provide the best life for said child

Instead, she wanted to be apart of their life and also help out with giving the family a few breaks during the month while getting to spend time with Giggles

Bruce thought about it for a moment, realizing that it wasn't that extreme of a request given the circumstances

He agreed that he was alright with it, but it would ultimately be up to Giggles to decide if they wanted to go over

Harley and Ivy quickly agree that it was okay with them to do it that way. And even if Giggles didn't want to stay the night, they would be willing to do day visits if that was the limit

They all left the study before going back to the living room

Giggles wiggled out of Dick's hold when Bruce came walking into the room again. Going up to him and giving him a hug while looking up at him with a smile

Bruce gently returns the hug as Harley kneel to the ground while asking if Giggles would want to maybe spend a couple of days every now and then with her and Ivy

Giggles thinks for a moment before giving a small nod and saying that it sounds like fun

Harley let out a laugh in relief while tightly holding Ivy's hand

The boys all stare for a moment as they watch the scene in front of them

Alfred came walking in while saying that dinner was about to be ready so everyone could go and get themselves settled at the table

The whole group goes into the dining room and take a moment to figure out the seating arrangement with the two extras joining them

Once everyone was settled, Alfred came in and set down plates in front of everyone

Conversation was light as the meal progressed. Mostly consisting of how the day went and of any upcoming events that would be occuring at school

The meal seemed to pass by too soon as Harley and Ivy said that they would need to leave soon

Giggles gave a small pout, but gave a small nod in understanding

Bruce began to see them off while exchanging information so they could all get in contact for custody swaps

As Harley and Ivy were about to leave, Giggles came running up with the butterfly drawing in hand

Giving it to Harley with a smile while saying she could keep it

Harley gratefully took it while leaning down to place one last kiss to Giggles head before saying a last goodbye for the night

"Bye bye, Aunt Ivy! Bye bye, mama!"

Harley has to turn away as she holds back tear because she was just called 'mama' for the first time. Ivy holds her close as they begin to go back to their apartment

Bruce closes the door while picking Giggles up, smiling at the child while walking back into the manor

"Mama's nice. She did want me."

Bruce has to keep his expression neutral as the child continues rambling. Dear God, he was going to beat that clown within an inch of his life

i am unironically obsessed with adam west batman not only trying to be a good dad to robin, but actually succeeding. also love robin's insane energy levels and his ability to go from seething bloodlust to manic glee in record time. i think any superman worth his S would fit right into the family ^_^

[bruciemilf]

Bruce being so smiley and happy around Robin! Jason shatters me so intimately. Soft as hell if this continues when Jason’s red hood, too.

“Robin,” Bruce calls him that out of habit and isn’t at all surprised when Jason swiftly punches his arm, only to rub the place a moment later, even if Bruce barely notices. “This is not the time for jokes.”

“ Three o’clock is always the time for jokes. You scheduled it.”

“Nightwing was turned into a rabbit. And you���re laughing.”

“Have you seen the guy’s Tik Toks? This is as dignified as he’ll ever be.”

Jason is very sure Dick can understand them, because he’s biting hard through his boots. Even harder when Bruce snorts and presses his lips in a white line.

Don’t get me wrong, thought, it’s vice versa.

“I think we’re gonna have to kill this guy, B.” Talking about a guy who cut the line in Batburger while Cass was trying to order.

Bruce, in his Batman voice, “fuck!”

Jason has one of those laughing fits where you get on the floor, breathless and limp. “This brings up memories.”

“ROBIN.”

LOVE THE SUPERBABIES!!! 💖💖💖

Gonna need to see either brother Kon and Tim try to calm their little brothers down or perhaps even Lizzie getting a taste of her own medicine from a shrunken down Bat and Sups 🤭 (only if you want to though)

i imagine if they play peek-a-boo, Damian makes this expression every time Tim uncovers his face

[arrowurboat]

when my favorite writers respond to my asks/reqs

[ducktu]

Duke: WOW, how can you even say that about my people-

Jason: Hold on, being black doesn't have anything to do with it-

Duke: BLACK? MY PEOPLE ARE BAT VIGILANTES, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?, CAN YOU ONLY SEE RACE?

Jason: *screams*

[deadsetobsessions]

“DIDJA SEE THAT, DANNY?!” Tim, a scrawny eleven year old now, excitedly smacked Danny’s arm.

“Ow. Yes, yes I did.”

“Oh, gosh, I have to tell Jazz about this!!” The kid waved his arms about wildly, grinning from ear to ear.

“Jaso- I mean, Robin, smiled at me! And said he liked my t-shirt!! Oh my god, he likes literature puns, he even laughed! And then he punched the bad guy in the face! Look! I even saved the tooth!”

“Okayyy, nope!” Danny plucked the tooth and tossed it, ignoring Tim’s betrayed face. “I’ll trade you that for this.”

Danny Held out a piece of paper with Robin’s and Batman’s sigil on it, from when he asked them to sign it after they “saved” the two brothers from the two-bit thugs trying to mug them.

“Oh. My. God. This is like the best day of my life!! I love you, Danny! You’re the best brother ever!! Oh my god! I have to get Nightwing’s signature!!!”

Danny felt a rush of warmth at Tim’s proclamation of affection. Ah, he should probably step in.

“Hey, wait, no, we’re not going to Blüdhaven for you to stalk another vigilante.”

“It’s not just any old vigilante-!” Tim ignored Danny’s dramatic clutching-pearls gesture of mock hurt. “It’s Nightwing. The original Robin! He gave me my first ever hug!”

Danny paused. God dammit.

“…Fine.”

“YESSSSSS!!!!”

——

Danny-

“I’m gonna be Robin whether you want me to or not!”

-is so damn tired.

“Tim. I’m literally a vigilante ghost. What makes you think I’d be stupid enough to argue with a kid who runs around Gotham at night to take pictures of other vigilantes?”

Tim deflated. “Oh. Honestly, I thought you’d put up more of a fight…”

Jazz laughed and ruffled Tim’s hair. “I definitely couldn’t stop Danny when he went out. He trusted me to support him and I trusted him to come to me if he was injured, though. Can you promise me that, Tim?”

“Yeah… okay, Jazz, I promise.” Tim promised, even if he was still pouty.

Danny chimed in.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m totally worried and I’m gonna hover like a mother hen when you go out, but again, I know how stubborn and crazy we vigilante types have to be.” Danny paused. “Do you want me to put up a token protest?”

Tim nodded, sulking. “Yes, please. I had a speech planned out.”

Jazz and Danny exchanged amused glances.

“Oh, okay, my bad, kiddo. Here, let’s start from the top.”

“Okay. Ahem,” Tim straightened his back, settling into his previous mulish expression once more. “I’m gonna be Robin whether you want me to or not!”

Danny placed an appropriately disapproving frown on his face. “No, you can’t! It’s dangerous! You could get hurt! You’re just a child!”

Tim launched into his speech. “But I can’t stay still and do nothing when people are getting hurt! Even…!”

They were gonna be here for a while. There was definitely something about Batman going on a spiral because Jason wouldn’t be able to walk again after the Joker got to him. Danny wondered if ectoplasm could help. He might offer, if it actually had a change of getting Tim out of the vigilante business.

But that’s for later, because they had time. Jazz was on Spring Break… and they’re still staying here for free, after all of these years.

“So, how are you going to convince Robin to let you be Robin?” Jazz asked Tim.

Tim froze. “I… hadn’t thought of that yet.”

“Well, you could always remind him of the fact that we saved him from the Joker. He seemed pretty ready to leave the Robin mantle, the last time I saw him as Phantom.”

“I don’t want to blackmail him into it!” Tim whined.

“It’ll just be a suggestion, Tim.” Jazz smiled patiently.

“Besides,” Danny continued, smirking mischievously at his adopted little brother. “If you were actually blackmailing him, you’d pull out the photos where he ate dirt.”

“I guess that’s true…” Tim mumbled. “I know! I’ll have to follow them to see how I can best approach him!”

"I think that's called stalking," Jazz deadpanned.

"Well, it's not any worse than what he's already done." Danny shrugged at his older sister. "Sure, kid. Why not? Do whatever you want."

"I was planning to!" Tim bounced off to grab his photography gear. Jazz stared off after him.

"Should we be encouraging that?"

"More like can we actually stop him?" Danny leaned back, lazily completing his GED assignments. Jazz sighed.

"Guess not. Make sure he doesn't get in trouble."

"Do you even know how hard that is, Jazz?" Danny complained, dodging the whack Jazz sent at the back of his head. She smirked at him.

"Womp, womp, Danny. How does karma taste today?"

Danny flipped her off as he put the last punctuation on the paper. He heard a clatter and groaned.

“I’m gonna go watch Tim stalk Batman for the night. Want anything from the store?”

Jazz hummed. “Get me the specialty strawberry ice cream, from that one place?”

“The one that’s definitely a front for Falcone’s money laundering??”

“Yeah. They make good strawberry ice cream.”

“Sure.”

Danny went ghost and flew straight through the walls to catch Tim sneaking out by the scruff of his collar.

“No. Bad Tim.”

“Awww, come on Danny!”

[ghost-bxrd]

Prompt:

Jason keeps accidentally drawing parallels between his running away to Ethiopia and getting killed.

He leaves a note saying he‘ll be back soon? Three terrified bats AND a supe crashing through the roof of a 7/11.

Casually mentioning he‘ll be going overseas to check up on a lead? Surprise! Nightwing‘s going the same way! What a coincidence!

Jason pushes someone off the roof? “Don’t worry Jaylad, I know it was an accident!!!!”

The next gig takes place at an abandoned warehouse? “Explosives whomst?? No, Jason, of course I didn’t scout the area beforehand. Don’t be absurd. Your bombs?? Oh, those were yours?”

Look, it’s not that Jason doesn’t appreciate a demonstration of how much they care. But he’s getting seriously fed up with the level of overprotectiveness everyone’s displaying.

Although, in retrospect, he could have handled this whole thing better than having an open spat with Bruce and then disappearing on them for two months straight. Oops.

(In his defense, Kori got them cards for a once-in-life-time-space-opera.)

[squishykitty825]

Jason, amidst a heated argument with Bruce: Does my death mean nothing in this family?

Out of nowhere: "In the arms of the angel. Fly awaaaay..."

Jason: What the hell?

________________________________________________________

Tim, low on sleep and caffeine trying to convince Jason to give him back his coffee: You think your time as Robin was bad, you never had to deal with Bruce after your death.

Jason: Maybe not. But I was a little busy being dead, Timbo.

"In the arms of the angel. Fly awaaaay..."

Jason: Again?!

________________________________________________________

Damian: Stop being so childish, Todd.

Jason: I died. I can do whatever I want.

"In the arms of the angel. Fly awaaaay..."

Jason, now seriously confused and angry: WHO IS DOING THAT?!

________________________________________________________

Dick whining to Jason about life after his death: You died. I didn't have anyone to talk to.

Jason: I'm so sorry my death was such an inconvenience to you.

"In the arms of the angel. Fly awaaaay..."

Jason now infuriated with whoever is playing the song every time he mentions his own death: I AM GOING TO MURDER WHOEVER IS DOING THAT!

Jason storms off in search of the culprit, leaving Dick staring after him wondering what he's on about.

[kens-ramblings]

so ik it’s not cannon accurate but,,,

i need a fic of tim just crashing out.

[batsythoughts]

Alright, the Continued Adventures of Giggles Wayne (without being prompted to write it). First time attending a Gala and the aftermath

About a month had passed since the day that Harley and Ivy had went to Wayne Manor and the agreement for shared custody was made

It was supposed to be the first weekend that Giggles was going to be with them, but it was delayed because Harley had gotten food poisoning

The whole reason Bruce had suggested they watch Giggles for the weekend was a charity gala that was taking place Friday night

All of Gotham had known that he took in the child about the same day Alfred had 'gotten custody' of them

He was simply worried that not everyone was going to be so accepting of the little one given most everyone could tell who the biological father was

Instead of just leaving Giggles at home with Alfred for that night, Bruce decided to bring Giggles along with the rest of the family

He figured the lively personality of the child would potentially make more people generous and could help with the Wayne family's social reach

The night of the gala, Bruce and the boys were putting the finishing touches on their appearances in the foyer when Alfred gently guided Giggles to the family

Put in a outfit that was made of soft fabric, but still with an elegant look, Giggles had their hair put together while doing a small circle for everyone to see

Dick gushes at how lovely they look as he struggled to straighten out his tie in the mirror. Tim smiled while finishing up his third cup of coffee to have energy for the whole socializing. Damian and Jason both give small nods while smoothing out some wrinkles in their jackets.

Bruce came over and kneeled down while picking away a stray thread. His tone kind, but firm, as he explained the importance for the night

"There is going to be many important people at the gathering we are going to. You have to be extremely nice to all of the people there and be on your best behavior. Stay close to me or one of the boys at all times so we know where you are. Okay?"

"Okay Bruce."

The boys all chuckle at the seriousness spoken in Bruce's name

Bruce himself smiles before ushering everyone out the door and into the car

The drive there was full of Bruce reminding everyone of what they needed to do throughout the evening

(Jason's instructions were a simple 'Just don't')

When they finally drove up to the building that was hosting the whole event, Tim got Giggles out of the car seat while Bruce exchanged information with the valet

A few of the guests that were outside glanced over at the group, some holding skeptical looks as most focus on the child with them

Bruce gave them all a nod before going inside to begin his networking before having to make his own donation for the cause this whole thing was for

Giggles took Tim's hand to follow along with him for the first part of the event as everyone else went in different directions

Tim was supposed to talk up a few potential investors for a new project that Wayne Enterprise was about to start once they got said funding

He began his process of convincing them by starting with listening to them babble on about the small things on their mind. Adding certain questions to appear interested so they would feel more comfortable with opening their wallets later

Giggles even asked them a few questions as well to try and understand what they were talking about

The investors each carefully answered for the 4 year old to understand what everyone was saying. Each taking note of how polite Giggles was being when listening to them all speak

One woman let out a small noise of exclamation as she began to rummage through the clutch she was holding. Explaining some conversation she had with Dick about some shop at the last gala and had remembered the name of it days later

She handed a card to Tim while explaining that she wants to give it to Dick, but wouldn't be able to stay around long enough to see him that night

Tim takes the card from her as he goes to tuck it into his pocket while nodding in understanding

"I could take it to... Richard."

Tim and the others look down at Giggles as they looked between Tim and the one lady with wide eyes

The lady smiles at the offer while asking if Giggles would really be willing to do that for her. An eager nod was the answer she needed before looking to Tim to double check

Tim smiles while handing the card over to little hands as he quickly scanned the room. Spotting Dick at the far right end, Tim pointed in the direction that he was in

After being told the name to give to Dick, Giggles carefully walked through the crowd in the direction they were told. Waiting patiently for other to pass and politely asking to be let through

All the guest stop and stare for a moment before going back to their conversations once the child passed

Dick was in a conversation with a couple of business owners over some development of a new building that most of them didn't agree with

He felt a small hand rest on his wrist as he was speaking up on his thoughts for the whole thing

Since he had a drink in one hand, Dick raised his hand to take hold of the smaller one until he could acknowledge them fully

A lull finally did come into the conversation before an elderly man looked down to see the child quietly standing there

He excitedly asked how Giggles was doing and if they were having fun despite all the grown up talk

Giggles nods slowly before looking up at Dick. Bringing the card up and saying that a 'Miss Isabel' wanted to make sure he got it

He smiled while sticking the card in his jacket pocket while introducing Giggles to the people that he was talking to at the moment

The women around coo at the happy 'hello' they were given before being told that they all looked very pretty in their dresses

Everyone around begins to ask questions about Giggles and listened intently to every response that was given

A few minutes go by before Jason comes over to the group and stands on the other side of Giggles. Nursing a glass of hard liquor he managed to get from a waiter after slipping him a couple 20s

He lightly pats his younger sibling on the shoulder while smiling at a few of the socialites around

The questions continue for a few more minutes as Giggles shifted closer to Dick with a shy grin

A waiter comes by to take the old glassed and offer new drinks to the whole group. Even asking if Giggles would want a drink of water when he came back around in a few minutes

After getting a soft 'yes please', the waiter nods his head before gracefully walking away. Winking at Jason while looking at his almost empty glass

The older gentleman in the group begins to talk about his grandchildren and things they were interested in when they were younger

Giggles listens intently as the man rambles, still holding onto Dick's hand

The waiter comes back around and hands a small glass down to the child as Jason quickly switched out his own glass

Giggles takes a few small sips of water as the topic goes onto the family life of each of the group and how everyone was doing

Giggles gently tugged on Dick's sleeve to get his attention. Waiting until he was paying attention before speaking again

"I go back to see Tim, please?"

Dick smiles while pointing to where he could see Tim networking with some other group of investors

Dick and Jason both watch as Giggles carefully begins to walk through the crowd again

Dick begins to turn back around, but stops when Jason grabs his shoulder while staring a bit ahead of Giggles

He looks at Jason in confusion by the sudden change in his demeanor

"That guy just switched his ring hand."

Dick quickly turns his head in an attempt to see who exactly Jason was talking about

Time went by slower as they watched this man swing his hand back and hit Giggles in the face. The force knocking the child to the ground as the glass of water shattered on the marble floor

What made their blood boil was watching the man switch the ring back as everyone looked at the child in shock

Dick and Jason immediately rushed over as the staff cleared everyone away from the glass

Giggles sits up while holding their cheek while beginning to sob from the blow

Dick kneels down to comfort the crying child, trying to convince Giggles to remove their hand so Dick could see the damage

Jason ultimately got into the man's personal space while asking if he enjoyed hurting defenseless children

Bruce and Damian had been on the other end of the room when the incident happened

At first they had just thought someone had simply dropped a glass so they continued their conversation

But when Bruce heard the crying and Jason's voice start to raise, he immediately excuses himself while hastily making his way through the crowd

When Bruce arrived at the area, Dick still hadn't gotten Giggles to calm down as Jason began yelling that him and Dick had both watched him switch his ring back

Bruce raised his voice and asked what had happened while looking between them all

When Giggles hears his voice, they immediately stand up and rushed over to him

They reach up to him with red hands, teary eyes, and their bloody cheek displayed for all those around to see

But that isn't the thing that sets Bruce off the most about the moment

No, what pissed Bruce off the most was the broken and scared cry that came from Giggles while reaching up to him

"Daddy!"

Bruce didn't have high expectations that Giggles would see him as a father, thinking he would be more like an uncle if anything

But the first time he would have wanted to be acknowledged as that should have been a happier moment

Something like spending the day with the whole family or it just casually happening in conversation at dinner. Even if it was just a sleepy mistake while being tucked in for bedtime would have been alright for him

It shouldn't happen because some entitled ass laid their hands on his kid

Everyone got quiet while looking over at Bruce to see how he was going to react to the situation as Giggles continues sobbing

Bruce pulled a handkerchief out of his coat pocket before lifting Giggles into his arms. Gently wiping away the blood as him, Dick, and Jason all stared down the man

He tries saying it was an accident, but Jason grips his arm and lifts up the man's hand for everyone to look at

"You used your right hand to hit the kid. So why the hell is there blood on the ring you have on your left hand?"

All the spectators look at the man for an explanation, but he stumbles over his words while trying to defend himself

Any form of explanation falls on deaf ears as the cries get louder

Bruce took a deep breath as he continued to hold the cloth to Giggles cheek. Forcing a smile as he stared into this man's soul

"I think it would be best that you leave now."

All the guests watched in disgust as he hastily headed towards the exit

Dick and Jason both went up to Bruce as the crowd slowly went back to their own conversations

Dick quietly explained what had happened from Giggles getting to him to when Bruce got there. Jason admitting he should have went to Tim with the little one instead of staying with the group

Bruce said it could still of happened no matter if one of them was there or not and he was just glad they saw what happened

A member of staff came up to them with a first aid kit and asking if Giggles would need a bandage

They went to a quiet corner as the girl gently cleaned the cut before taping a piece of gauze across Giggles's cheek

Bruce used a few wet wipes to clean the blood off his child's hands while thanking the girl before she went back to working

Bruce wiped away the remaining tears while saying that he did have to talk with a few more people before leaving for the night

Giggles mumbled in acknowledgement while leaning further into his chest

Bruce rubbed their back as he explained that they did nothing wrong and the man should have never done what he did

He gets a small whine in response as he begins to walk back into the crowd to quickly meet with the last few people he needed to for the night

Everyone would look at the two as Bruce headed back to where he had left Damian, most sympathetic when they saw the terrified child clinging to Bruce

When he got back to the person they had been talking to, Bruce apologized for the sudden leave as he rests a hand on Damian's shoulder

Damian looked up to his father, stunned to see him holding the family's youngest in his arm

Bruce begins to explain that he would get in contact about the business proposal he was given another time as the family would need to be leaving early

He got an understanding nod and a card with a way to get in contact before he turned away to go and quickly work through the last few people he had to meet with that night

Damian walked beside his father as he carefully reached out to take hold of Giggles' hand

Giggles held his hand tightly while still keeping their head in Bruce's shoulder with a sniffle

As Bruce quickly made his way to talk with the last few people he needed to speak with, the other boys came back around to stick close to Bruce until they would leave

All the boys were still being social with other attendees that were nearby to still maintain appearances with everyone

With each person Bruce crossed off his list to talk to, a handful of concerned guests would walk over to them to check up on Giggles

Everyone one of them saying that they were shocked that it had happened in the first place

A few of them even saying that Giggles was very brave for having to go through the whole thing

They only got small mumbles in response as Bruce quickly explained that it was getting close to bedtime and they would need to leave quickly

As Bruce was finishing up with the last person, Dick went to go get the car ready for them so they could leave immediately

The family was about to walk out the front door when Bruce heard his name be called from behind

He sighed while turning around to see one of his oldest business associates, the elderly man that Dick had been speaking with earlier that evening

When the man got closer, he said how he hadn't expected anything like that to happen at an event like this

Glancing at the child slumped in Bruce's arms, he frowned while saying that it was a shame that nobody was able to stop it before it happened

Looking back at Bruce, the man had a weak smile while mentioning that the person from earlier would be as good as bankrupt come the morning

Bruce smiles while expressing his appreciation for people being so kind to his child through the whole ordeal

With a final goodbye, Bruce went out onto the sidewalk as the boys waited around the car for Bruce to come outside

All the boys get in the car after Bruce gets Giggles buckled into the carseat

The ride was silent for the first few minutes Giggles gives a soft cry while beginning to apologize

Dick, ever the worrier, turned around to look back while asking why Giggles was apologizing to them

It took a few moments to figure out what Giggles was trying to say through the small sobs

Eventually, they were able to decipher that Giggles felt guilty they had to leave early

Bruce tightens his hold on the steering wheel as they listened to the soft whines

When a red light forces Bruce to stop the car, he turns around to face Giggles with a soft expression

"You don't have to be sorry. We were going leave before everyone else anyway. What happened tonight didn't change that. Now just take a deep breath and we'll be home soon."

The rest of the ride goes by quickly as Tim and Damian continue to gently reassure Giggles with plans of what they could do for the weekend

When they finally got back to the manor, the boys quickly went to get a few things quickly set up while Bruce took Giggles upstairs to get changed

Opening the door to Giggles's room, Bruce went to the dresser and pulled out a set of pajamas from the drawer

Getting the child changed into the pajamas, Bruce then guides them into the bathroom

Lifting Giggles onto the the counter, Bruce gets a washcloth and wets it with warm water before wiping the dried tears away

With a deep sigh, Bruce pulled away the gauze away to see the fresh cut from the ring. The whine of pain from Giggles as he recleaned the cut breaking his heart

Putting a new bandage over the cut, Bruce placed a small kiss to Giggles cheek while picking them up and going back downstairs

Dick waits at the bottom of the stairs with a smile while saying that him and the boys had put together a small surprise in the kitchen

Leading the pair to the kitchen, Alfred and Tim are putting together multiple cups of hot chocolate. Meanwhile, Jason and Damian are rinsing different fruits in the sink before putting them on a plate in the center of the counter

Bruce smiled a little at the scene while putting Giggles down on the counter as he gets handed two cups

Giggles carefully takes one mug from his hands to blow on the liquid before taking a sip

Dick goes to the fridge and gets a can of whipped cream. Putting a tiny amount in Giggles' cup before passing it around for everyone else to use

Damian pushed the plate of fruits closer to Giggles as he drank from his own mug

Giggles hesitantly took a piece and eating it with a tired look in their eyes

Jason's mouth turned to a thin line as he shook up the can in his hand. He took out his phone and handed it to Damian as he told him to 'record this'

Putting a small amount of whipped cream in his hand while walking over to Tim

Tim's eyes go wide as he steps behind Alfred while frantically telling Jason to get away from him

Jason smiles as he explains he wasn't going to do anything to Tim as he hands the can to Dick

Bruce is about to tell Jason to stop terrorizing Tim for the night when Jason shoves his hand in Dick's face

The can drops to the ground as Dick stumbled back in shock as he wiped away the whipped cream from his eyes while staring at Jason

Laughter fills the air from both Tim and Giggles as Jason smirked at Dick

Dick immediately smiled back as he reached out for a hug while trying to press his face to Jason's

Jason pushes against Dick while yelling for him to get away from him. Dick just told him to embrace the brotherly love as he fought back

Dick eventually wraps his arms around Jason as he rubs his cheek all over Jason's face

The laughter gets louder as Dick let's go of Jason with his head held high

Both of them shared a tense look before turning their head over to their younger siblings

Tim began stepping back as he told Jason to stay away from him. Dick looked over at Damian with a smile on his face

Before either of the younger boys could react, they were in the hold of their older siblings

Jason has Tim in a light choke hold as he wipes his hand over Tim's face

Dick lifts Damian up and places an obnoxiously long kiss to the younger boy's cheek as Jason's phone gets thrown in an act of defense

Giggles continues laughing while looking between all the boys

Dick quickly sets Damian down and goes over and picks Giggles up to place kisses all over their face

Giggles tries pushing Dick away with a smile while saying that he was 'gross and sticky'

Dick keeps going while saying that it was funny before so why should he stop now

Giggles leaned away while reaching out to Bruce while exclaiming, "Daddy, help!"

Bruce grinned while taking the child into his arms before looking over at Jason and Tim

"Jason, let him breath."

All the boys settled down as Giggles let out a small yawn while leaning towards Bruce

He said it was time for bed, which Giggles said a small goodnight to everyone

Each of them also said goodnight as Bruce walked out of the room to go back upstairs

Making a stop to the bathroom to wipe off the whipped cream before heading straight to the child's bedroom

He placed his child on the bed while picking up the Batman toy and placing it beside Giggles

The toddler can barely keep their eyes open while gently hugging the toy closer

Bruce tucks the two in before placing a soft kiss to their hair with a soft goodnight

Turning the nightlight on and leaving the door slightly open, Bruce began to walk back down the stairs

Alfred waits for him at the bottom with a quirked brow as he asked what happened at the gala that night

Bruce shrugged while saying it wasn't going to really matter come morning

"Oh, that is a shame. Financial troubles or do we need to send condolences for an accident?"

"The agreement from most of the people that attended was bankruptcy."

Jason and Dick come walking by as the begin to loosen the ties and unbutton the top of their shirts

"Actually it's drugs. Apparently the police had a search warrant and went through his house and found large stashes in multiple different rooms."

Bruce looked over at Jason with skeptical eyes as he got an offended look in return

"When would I have done that in the span of three hours? I was with all of you the whole night! I need more time than that to do anything good!"

"Felt like something that would be a you type of thing."

Dick chuckled as he clasped Jason's shoulder

"Look at the brightside. That man is not built to withstand any form of prison life."
