The model, the ‘chaos’ family and the night owl - CH. 04 - Family feels

Masterlist - Previous

“A sociopath, again.” Tim Drake moaned loudly as he proofread through Gabriel Agreste’s finished file. It was clear as his coffee mug. The man was reclusive, narcissistic and had habits of child (It’s Adrien.) neglect and endangerment. And those were just the public approach.

It was honestly a miracle how anybody thought that man could be the father of the Adrien Agreste, the sunshine of Paris. Like, the man had more politicians in his hand than the rookie Lex Luthor. And the bald was a genius in that area when he was only teens.

His musing was interrupted with his sibling’s arrival.

“Soooo, what you got, Timmy boy?” Jason dropped himself down next to Tim’s chair.

“Our newest addition has his own tragic story.” Tim answered in resentment just like every time if they met something like this situation. “His only fault is his hair.” he pointed out the bright gold hair raising the mood - his and his brother’s too.

“Yeah.” his brother nodded smugly at the picture. “I was shocked that Brucie was able to make a kid with a blond head.”

“Right?!” Dick also appeared behind his chair loudly with a righteous expression. “And B never let me dye my hair when I was teen. At least Adrien has the cat instincts for this family. Finally I have someone other than Selina to pun.”

“Tt.” Yapp, Damian was also within foots. The gremlin glared at the computer just like them.

“Someone is jealouuuuus.” Jay sang in his irritatingly high voice, then bent down right away as a batarang flew over his head. The little demon didn’t tolerate any commentary about his feelings toward the french teen since they arrived back. It was quite amusing to watch him change colors every one hour as they dropped something related to Adrien.

While his two - relatively more aggressive - brothers fought about their own stupid things, Dick sat down at Jason’s place and went through the file. Tim watched in interest as the most positive person in the family started scowling, then growling in anger within minutes.

The oldest turned to him with a frown. “Does Bruce know?”

Tim shook his head negatively. “I only finished up ten minutes ago, and just proofread it when you all came down.”

His oldest brother hummed as he immersed in his thoughts. Then opened some other files up. “It’s quite interesting how he employed the Rossi girl without any prior experience.”

Tim nodded. “And if you scan the company database you will see there were flags about her behavior. The photographer, the stylists, even Adrien’s bodyguard made a complaint about what she was doing in sets… Or with Adrien.” He pointed at one of the text documents. “Here, their set builder commented how she didn’t even listen to Adrien about letting him go. Or the bruises on his arms.” Tim grabbed his empty coffee mug with a little too much force. “It’s really messed up.”

“Do you think he knew about it?” Dick lowered his voice so the other two didn’t hear his question. Tim leaned closer.

“About what?”

“About not being the biological father.”

Tim’s brain froze up at hearing the assumption. If Gabriel knew about not being the father, then… Then there had to be some proof for some DNA test or something. And that knowledge was kind of hard to take in for Tim. He felt how neglectful parents treat their own blood kid, he was one of that many kids. But if Gabriel knew about not being the father, he was not just neglectful, he was straight cruel.

“Gabriel obviously doesn’t care much about Adrien’s safety expect his value for the company. He is the face, but he doesn’t have any contract. Didn’t get any money, and he let the kid be harassed.” Dick continued his train of thought quietly as he pointed out some of the opened documents, barely disguised his own rage. “Gabriel used, and is still using our little brother like some puppet to his own success.”

Tim gulped at Dick’s face. Of course, he also was disgusted, but he almost felt sorry for the Agreste for what waited for him. Dick rarely was that angry.
