I need a fic where Bruce realizes this kid who shoved his way into his sidekick roll will not be leaving anytime soon, and instead of emotionally distancing himself he becomes a combination Helicopter Mom and Shotgun Dad.
☆彡
Tim: Bruce, I’m headed out to meet my friends at the mall.
Bruce: Is that Kent boy going to be there?
Tim, rolling his eyes: Yes, Kon is going. And so is Bart, and Cassie, and maybe Bernard if he can make it.
Bruce: Hnn. Do you have everything? Coat, scarf, keys, wallet, tracker, pepper spray, dagger, kryptonite shard, emergency beacon, first aid kit, fire starter, extra pair of-
Tim: Yes, Dad! I already went through the list with Alfred. I’ll be fine.
☆彡
Kon: Hello Sir! I’m here to pick up Tim!
Bruce: Follow me.
…
Bruce: Sit down.
Kon: In your study? Is Tim on the way, or…?
Bruce: I just thought you might need reminding of the fact that I have a vault downstairs full of items specifically designed to take down a Kryptonian.
Kon: Whuh?
Bruce: You should probably ask your father about the time I was slightly annoyed with him for encroaching on one of my cases.
Kon: Why are you telling me this?
Bruce: Now just imagine what would happen if someone were to hurt my darling little boy.
*door opens*
Tim: Hey Bruce, Alfie said Kon was here, have you seen him? Oh! Hey, why are you two in here??
Bruce: Oh, hey sweetheart, we were just chatting. Have a good time at the carnival!

Dick, pouting: I don’t understand, you’re not this protective over who Jason or I date.
Bruce: Don’t be ridiculous, Jason and I may have our problems, but he would never betray me by gallivanting off with someone I disapprove of.
Dick, who covered for Jay sneaking out to visit Roy Harper just last night: Mhm yeah, sure. And you’re not worried about me?
Bruce: Chum, I’ve known who you were going to marry since you were 12 years old.
Dick: WHAT?
Bruce: I have the whole ceremony already planned. I’ve got Gotham’s best wedding planner on standby. You have a very nice house waiting for you both, 20 minutes from here. A modest 7 bedrooms on 5 acres of land.
Dick: I’m not even dating anyone?!
Bruce: I can’t wait to meet my 3 grandbabies:)

Bruce meeting his son: Damian. This is my headcanon and a comedic spin on the meet up. I just love the trope of "I have a child?!" Don't worry, Bruce loves his son, it's just a bit of a shock he wasn't rendered impotent from all his excursions as Batman.
Pt 1
Talia: Bruce, this is Damian. Damian, this is Bruce.
Damian holds out his hand for a handshake. Bruce obliges, but is unsure why he was being introduced to the young child.
Damian (confused): Why is he dressed like a bat?
Talia (mock sweetness): It's a thing he does.
Bruce (offended): Okay you don't have to talk about me in front of him. Why are you showing me this child?
Jason behind Bruce covers his mouth, chuckling.
Talia: He's my son.
Dick (instant realization): He's your son? That is your son? Which means... Oh wow. Wow!
Dick laughs, but stops when Bruce stares at him confused. He turns back to Talia and Damian, confused.
Damian (waving): Hello.
Bruce: Hi... And Talia?
Dick: Oh... Oh you don't get it?
Jason: He doesn't get it. Hahahaha!
Talia: Bruce, I'm going to hold your hand when I say this.
Talia takes Bruce's glove hand. Ra Al Ghul walks over holding up a camera to record the exchange.
Dick and Jason stood by waiting to see how Talia would word her reveal.
Talia: He is my son... And he is your son.
Bruce blinks not responding. He heard what she said but he was not sure what to say himself.
Damian (confused): The guy in a giant bat suit is my father?
Damian taps his chin.
Damian: Not the craziest thing I've had to deal with.
Talia: Bruce, you going to say something?
Dick: Bruce?
Bruce (gulps): ...
Jason claps while laughing.
Jason: This is great. I am so glad I got to be here today for this.
Bruce (finally speaking): I'm sorry. I hallucinated that you said the little boy standing in front of me is my... son.
Talia (repeating herself): Bruce, he is your son.
Bruce (disbelief): No he's not.
Jason (enjoying this): There's the denial.
Talia (exasperated): Here we go again, yes he is.
Bruce (panicked): No... no he's not. I can't have kids my swimmers are broken.
Damian: Swimmers?
Talia covers Damian's ears.
Talia: They most certainly are not.
Dick: You can have kids?
Jason: I know right!
Bruce: He's not... I'm not... The kid is not my son.
Talia (uncovering Damian's ears): Yes he is! I got a DNA test done! He is your child. I have your blood from a... Not important and he is yours! The baby is yours!
Damian: I'm 8.
Dick (holding back his laughter): Oh God.
Jason walks while clapping again.
Ra's Al Ghul (continuing to record the reaction): She unfortunately speaks the truth. I'm disappointed you share DNA with him, but we have the test. He's yours.
Damian: The guy dressed as a bat is my father? I'm sorry to repeat myself, but he's dressed like a bat.
Ra (Regrettably): I know. I know.
Dick: Bruce, say something other than, "No he's not." Or "He's not mine."
Bruce stands stunned and silent. His oldest son walks over to him and waves his hand across the man's face.
Dick: Oh he's actually speechless.
Talia (sighing): To be expected. Jason I'll send you a video of his reaction like we discussed.
Jason: Thank you.
Dick: You knew?!
Jason: For 8 years! Yes!
Dick: Why didn't you say anything?
Jason: I was fucking mad at him and wanted revenge and this... This is the best revenge.
Dick: I'll deal with you in a second. Bruce, are you with us?
Bruce faints, falling backwards. Damian looks down at the man in a batsuit.
Damian: I'm not sure I want him to be my father.
Ra (ending the recording): I agree with you child.
He walks off with the camera.
Ra: I'm going to burn this on to a DVD and keep a copy.
Talia (frustrated): You do that father.
Dick walks over to Damian, stepping over Bruce.
Dick: Um, Bruce is just a bit shocked he actually can have kids without adopting them. He's a good guy though.
Damian: Are you sure about that? Jason told me he was 'not bad' I'm not really seeing that.
Dick glares at Jason. Jason shrugs with a smile. Dick turns back to Damian.
Damian lightly kicks his father's leg, but all the man can do is twitch his leg while still unconscious.
Dick: Yeah, he's an amazing crime fighter and usually can compose himself. I'm Dick, by the way.
Damian: That's your legal name?
Dick (upset, but hiding it): My birth name is Richard Grayson.
Damian: Why do you go by-
Talia and Jason: Don't ask.
Dick groans annoyed then holds out his hand. Damian shakes his hand to show respect, but remains perplexed by his strange new family and that was saying a lot.
