#what do you mean danny’s billionaire magnetism is also genetic

[britcision]

Alright listen

I’m not a particularly huge fan of “secret twin/sibling AU” cuz if not done right, it quickly becomes “and we only care cuz of blood relation”

The antithesis of Bruce Wayne

(And like you can’t say adopted families don’t count to the goddamn bat fam, it’s illegal and you go to double Arkham)

But

I have also noticed it’s kinda always Danny is the adopted secret twin

And… well

Large bulky men who break down walls

Who come back to life but kinda fucked up

BRUCE WAYNE NÉ FENTON, OLDER BROTHER OF JACK FENTON WHOSE PARENTS DIED BEFORE TELLING HIM THE TRUTH

I will also accept Bruce having known but not knowing how to introduce himself to his brother and just secretly helping fund their building a portal to hell

Cuz that’s like talking to people when you’re Batman, totally counts, Alfred definitely thinks they’ve exchanged Christmas cards

Jason is the other obvious option, maybe from when the Fentons were in college cuz gods know that man’s family tree is already a xylophone

Tim, also a great candidate, he was pretty much an afterthought for the Drakes and neglected so having picked him from a line up tracks

Just

More than half of the bat fam is already adopted

And they’re the cool side to have been adopted from

There’s some consolation for Danny from the Fentons not being his bioparents that kinda invalidates that it is Still Fucked Up That They Mistreat Him

Him not being theirs really doesn’t mitigate it but it keeps showing up

No

Tim Drake’s expression watching Jack Fenton scarf fudge knowing that’s his dad

Bruce realizing if he’d looked past the family Christmas cards he coulda saved his niece and nephew

Jason wondering how the fuck these crappy scientists could be his parents then Maddie bodies Bruce and yeah suddenly that tracks

(He will not be admitting that it made sense the second Jack took down a wall instead of the door a foot away from him, no, Maddie’s ninja skills are the genetic part)

Damian’s goddamn CHALLENGE being the Blood Son and super proud of being a Wayne only for Bruce to be like “well actually neither of us are blood Waynes, your brothers have exactly as much right to the name”

Damian fucking STRUGGLING cuz like his dad’s still Batman, even if he’s Bruce Fenton, blood matters to this kid that’s still his birth name and Damian wants to be proud of his heritage

But calling himself Fenton in a world with the Fenton Thermos?

Death is better

From personal experience

(This being the final straw that breaks Damian from his obsession with bloodlines? Extra juicy, cuz Bruce sure as shit would never stop calling himself a Wayne even if the Fenton stays silent)
