Bat-Family Nicknames and Insults

So I went off the other day because fans keep having people who aren't Roy Harper call Jason Todd "Jaybird" and now I'm thinking about all the other nickname misconceptions so here's a probably non-comprehensive list of nicknames among the Bat Fam.

(Special thanks to @sohotthateveryonedied for a bunch of my data, she made a whole powerpoint with actual comic panels! Go check that out! Also got some info from @kiragecko who was writing some lists with more specific references.)

This list is an active document and will be edited in the event I find more nicknames or have more to say

Addendum note: I'm more than willing to add something I forgot, but you must have receipts. I'm not just going off of memory. Nothing will be added to this list without proof. If you don't have a source, please don't make a suggestion.

This is aside from assorted common insults and nicknames like jerk, ass, shorty, dude, idiot, etc.. Sidenote, every not-Steph Robin has been called “Little Bird”, “Birdboy” and/or “Wonder Boy” at some point. It’s kinda part of the job lol Secondary side-note, the only ones who REALLY use nicknames for people are Barbara and Jason. And Tim specifically in reference to Damian. Everyone else pretty much uses their names 98% of the time. Final note (sorryyyyyy) generally unless they're funny to me, I'm not including things used only once unless I have gotten vibes that it's a trend. This is an attempt to compile recurring nicknames. So ones noted to be used once are either I can only confirm it happened once but could happen multiple times, or I think it's hilarious.

Alfred Pennyworth

Al/Alf Seems to be a common nickname among the boys.

Alfie Dick, Tim, and Jason have all called him this.

Alfredo Jason called him this at least once and I think that’s funny. Not sure it’s exclusive though.

Mom Dick seems to have referred to him as such once…I’m sorry but that’s so funny.

Alfred also has specific ways of referring to everyone: Bruce: Master Bruce, Mister Wayne, Lad, Bruce, My Son Barbara: Mistress Barbara, Miss Barbara, Miss Gordon, Miss Oracle Dick: Master Dick, Master Richard, Master Grayson, Dear Boy, Young Sir, Young Man, Richard, Dick Cassandra: Miss Cassandra, Young Cassandra, My Dear Jason: Master Jason, Young Sir, Lad, Jason Tim: Master Tim, Master Timothy, Young Master Tim, Lad, Young Sir, Young Man, Timothy, Tim Damian: Master Damian, Young Master Damian, Young Sir, Young Man, Son, Damian

Bruce Wayne

Spooky Oliver Queen calls him this, others might as well but I legitimately have no idea.

Batsy Everyone and their goddamn dog, but Joker uses this notably a lot.

Detective RA'S AL GHUL EXCLUSIVE. I think? But this is how Ra's generally refers to Bruce.

B-Man HARLEY QUINN EXCLUSIVE...I think. She calls him this a lot though.

While Dick and Jason will internally think of Bruce as their father, Dick rarely says so and extremely rarely calls him “Dad”. Jason would only say so mockingly or under pain of a second death. Tim rarely even thinks of Bruce as his father (he didn’t become Robin to be Bruce’s kid, and he doesn’t want to replace his own father—much the same way Dana didn’t replace Janet) and never refers to him as such outside of WE work (where he very much uses that to his advantage). Damian almost exclusively refers to Bruce as “Father” but has called him "Dad". Steph sometimes calls him “Boss”. Everyone usually calls him "Bruce".

He refers to ALL of the boys as “chum” and “lad” at some point. It’s just how he used to talk honestly. He DOES NOT call them “sweetie” or “honey” or anything like that. He DOES, however, speak to small children this way. There are multiple instances of him using "sweetheart" and similar terms when dealing with young children. This differentiation I think is for two reasons. One, Bruce is emotionally stunted and being open with anyone outside of actively comforting is difficult for him, and two, the youngest child he has ever had himself was 9 years old so he's never had a small child he'd be likely more inclined to be extra super soft with.

Barbara Gordon

Babs Most people call her this. Bruce doesn’t seem to though, oddly enough.

Babsy/Babsie Both Dick and Jim Gordon have called her this. Very cute.

Barb/Barbie Nearly exclusive to Jason Todd, actually. I think her dad calls her this once in a while, but specifically Jason calls her this.

Babes A few of her friends call her this, but mostly Luke Fox when they were dating.

Red A few people call her this, but mostly Jason and not real often. Probably cuz we already have a red-head often referred to as “Red” (Pam Isely by Harley) and as to not be confused with the other two Reds in the family (Red Hood and Red Robin).

The High Priestess of Tech More of a reference than a nickname, but I think it’s funny. Dick referred to her as such.

O For Oracle!

Dick Grayson Exclusives because Boyfriend Baby Love Beautiful

Richard Grayson

Dick Everyone calls him this. Almost no one calls him Richard.

Dickie His parents also called him this, along with other people who knew him from Haly’s Circus, but otherwise it’s mostly just Jason.

Dickster I…hate that this is canon lmao. Dick has thought this one in his inner monologue, but Jason has also said it at least once. It’s…Something.

Circus Boy Common insult, Jason uses it a few times.

Tight Ass No comment.

Rob Kinda rare for him and more a Tim thing, but his Titans team call him this sometimes. I specifically remember Wally doing so, and Roy too I think.

Boy Wonderful Not marking this as exclusive because Babs probably used it at one point but, shockingly (or not) this comes from Wally West! Wally has also called his Titans team as a group “Dear Hearts” at least once which is just so fucking cute. Neeeeeerd.

Kid Not exclusive to him, but consistently called this by Slade Wilson/Deathstroke over most anything else.

Marcia TIM DRAKE EXCLUSIVE. A joke between him and Tim, assigning each Bat-boy a Brady Bunch member.

Little Robin MARY GRAYSON EXCLUSIVE. This is where the hero name Robin came from; Dick’s mom used to call him this.

Dickie-Bird JASON TODD EXCLUSIVE. Jason calls Dick this a lot during his weird appearances in Nightwing that I pretend never happened because it was weird and dumb. But it is a canonical nickname. And it’s funny.

Amy Rohrbach Exclusives because Partner Rookie Stud Cowboy Sherlock Mr. Confident

Barbara Gordon Exclusives because Girlfriend (and because she’s funny) Flatterer Boyfriend The Brightest, Sweetest, Most Handsome, Wealthiest Young Bachelor on the Entire East Coast Buckaroo Bucko Candy-Gram Darling Lover Love Hunk Wonder Man Wonder Hound Wonder Former Teen Wonder Twenty Something Wonder Blue Wonder Poor Lovable Naïve Dope Pixie Boots

Cassandra Cain

Cass Pretty much everyone calls her this.

Cassie Some people call her this, specifically the people closest to her; Stephanie, Tim, Barbara, Bruce, and Duke. It’s generally used sparingly, especially considering Tim is close to ANOTHER Cassandra who goes by “Cassie” almost exclusively, so Cass is generally preferred to avoid confusion. But Cassie is tossed around.

Batghoul Possibly Stephanie Brown exclusive, though easy enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if others called her that. She is notoriously spooky.

Bat-Babe KON-EL/CONNER KENT EXCLUSIVE. These two are actually good friends and dated for a short time. They’re very cute. And they met at the time Kon was just…Like That.

Jason Todd

Jay Literally everyone calls him this sometimes. It’s a common nickname.

Jace/Jase Also pretty common, but seems to mostly be among family. Dick and Bruce have at least both called him this.

The Toddster Was called such by Danny Chase, implying they were friends somehow? (Jason didn't have many Titans missions so idk how they were close enough for him to call him that). He calls him that when he discovers Jason’s status in the system is “unknown”, leading him to find out he’s dead.

Rojo Referred to himself as this once while he was still a crime boss, so presumably some of his gang called him this too. Obviously Spanish for red because Red Hood.

Little Bird Possibly exclusive to Barbara Gordon, she called him this in a flashback.

Jan That Dick and Tim Brady Bunch joke. Just imagine one of them looking Jason dead in the eye and saying “Sure, Jan.”

Little Wing DICK GRAYSON EXCLUSIVE. Called Robin Jason this in Nightwing Year 1 and it’s very cute.

Jaybird ROY HARPER EXCLUSIVE. The reason I’m making this post because no one seems to remember that Roy and only Roy has ever called Jason this. But any time these two appear together, it’s usually said at least once.

Stephanie Brown

Steph Pretty much everyone calls her this at one point.

Stephie A few people if I recall, but I know Tim’s called her that.

Blondie Pretty sure a few people call her this, but notably Harper Row.

Damian Wayne Exclusives because He Was A Brat Wench Fatgirl Girl Blunder

Timothy Drake

Tim Everyone to the point where it’s just his name.

Timmy A lot of people call him this pretty teasingly. Dick, Jason, and Babs do it consistently, but that’s older siblings for ya. Bernard has done it too.

Timbo Dick and Jason as well as his friend Ives have called Tim this at the very least. Tim notably doesn't seem to like it, though he has used it himself in a derogatory way in his inner monologue.

Timbers I’ve only ever seen Jason call him this, but I could be missing things. Would not be surprised if Dick did too, but it’s very Jason.

Rob Most of Young Justice called him that up until he revealed his name (which took a while because Bruce was being controlling and overprotective, as he does). Short for “Robin”, obviously, which is all they knew him as.

My Robin I’m pretty sure each member of Young Justice has said this about Tim, though Conner does it the most and has the biggest negative reaction to literally anyone but Tim being Robin.

Cindy DICK GRAYSON EXCLUSIVE. It’s that Brady Bunch joke again!

Little Brother DICK GRAYSON EXCLUSIVE. I didn't originally include it because it had the same vibes as like "dude" or "jerk"; something that's easily tossed around, y'know? And it feels like a descriptor, but it is actually used as a title/nickname several times, especially when Dick is messing with Tim.

Pretender JASON TODD EXCLUSIVE. Though it should be noted, he only directly called him this one time. Aside from that, he more refers to Tim as A pretender, not as like a nickname or title. It’s a description. (like “replacement” was but fandom made that a nickname yes I am in fact bitter)

Duckboy HARLEY QUINN EXCLUSIVE. She says this once, but it’s hilarious so I’m keeping it.

Detective RA’S AL GHUL EXCLUSIVE. Ra’s is very particular about titles. The only other person he refers to as “Detective” is Bruce, and Dick one time in his internal monologue, so he is acknowledging Tim’s competence. And then proceeds to get a large portion of his resources obliterated by Tim <3

Stephanie Brown Exclusives because Girlfriend Sweetie Muffin Boy Virgin

Duke Thomas

Narrows Almost Jason exclusively, though I think Harper has called him this once or twice. In reference to the neighborhood he grew up in, as opposed to Jason and Harper's Park Row aka Crime Alley upbringing.

Newbie Jason calls him this frequently, though it's likely the others have too.

Baby Bird ELAINE THOMAS EXCLUSIVE. Yeah, surprisingly Duke is actually called this by his mom.

Damian Wayne

Gremlin Mostly exclusive to Tim, but Jason has called him this too. This also seems to be Tim’s go-to for Damian when not using his name or codename.

Dami Used by Jon Kent and Talia al Ghul, so presumably those closest to him.

Little D I think Barbara Gordon exclusive but I’m not sure.

Cousin Oliver Not said to his face to my knowledge, but the Brady Bunch in-joke between Dick and Tim.

Prince/Your Highness (other royal variations) A common way to mock Damian for his haughty air and stuck-up attitude. More common in the past because Damian was The Worst and never shut up about being the heir to Batman and the Demon's Head. He's grown a lot since then and this kind of joke is used less. He is still pretty snooty though.

D JON KENT EXCLUSIVE. I have yet to see anyone else call him this at least, and this is how Jon almost always refers to him.

Baby Bird TALIA AL GHUL EXCLUSIVE. I’ve seen her call him this once, and I don’t recall ever seeing anyone else call him this. Just wanted it known that Talia is the only one to call Damian this.

Tim Drake Exclusives because Tim is Petty and Damian was a Brat Little Monster Hobbit Homunculus Little snot Spoiled, vicious and homicidal little punk Heir to the Kingdom of the Damned

Note on how Damian refers to others: Damian usually uses full first names or surnames, depending on circumstance and closeness. He occasionally calls Dick “Dick” or “Richard”, but often calls him “Grayson”. He almost always refers to Tim as “Drake”, but occasionally as “Timothy”.

Fanon names that I dislike

Replacement Jason never once calls Tim this, and refers to Tim as A replacement about as much as Dick did about Jason (Yes Dick has at least once when talking to Bruce referred to Jason as his replacement). How common it is in this fandom to call Tim "Replacement" (with a capital R like it's a name or title!!!) drives me absolutely insane. It's not canon and tbh you can do better. Hell, "pretender" is right there! And Jason's a nerd, he would do better.

Baby Bird Like…it’s cute, but given it’s used in fanon almost exclusively for Tim, and POST DAMIAN, it just feels infantalizing. Especially when the only canon uses are mothers towards their kids. I see this a lot with Dick and Jason using it, which is...just no. Like, Dick, I get it, but he's more likely to call Tim "Little Brother". Jason would never allow himself to be seen as this soft to Tim. If he were trying to be gentle with him, he'd probably call him "kid". He's done that before.

Baby Bat(s) I have seen this used literally twice. Once where a goon mockingly called Tim that, and once in an AU where Harley said it to Damian. "Baby Bat" isn't a thing. Sorry.

Big Bird More amusing than anything but a little annoying. No one ever calls Dick that in canon and whenever I read it all I can think of is Sesame Street so unless a giant yellow muppet bird is what you're going for, maybe don't do that lol

Demon Brat/Demon Spawn Not the most egregious thing, especially considering the numerous nicknames Tim comes up with, but the consistency of its usage in fanon is a little frustrating. This is never used in-canon, and if you want to use it in your fanworks, just maybe intersperse it with other more creative nicknames, yeah? It's just unoriginal at this point.

Jaylad I don’t hate this one, but it’s such a huge misconception that it’s canon. Bruce has said “Jay, lad” a couple times because he calls like every boy he meets “lad” and people made up “Jaylad”. Not the worst thing ever, but it's not canon.

Golden Boy I don't actually have a problem with this one, but I may as well clear up that this is canon as a descriptor but not as a nickname for Dick. Like calling Jason "the dead Robin". Like, people have said that about him in-canon, but they haven't called him that. The common derivative "Goldie" is entirely fanon.

Non-canon nicknames I think are funny

Dick-face/Dickhead I’m sorry, I find it hilarious whenever someone (usually Jason) in fanfic calls him this. It’s also to me just a silly exaggeration of the obvious joke that has been made at least once (but probably several times by now) in canon about someone being about to call Nightwing a dick and someone else reminding them not to use names in the field. I think it’s hilarious.

Timberly I can’t tell you why this specific deviation of Tim is funny to me but it is. And I'm surprised I haven't seen Jason call Tim this in canon.

Bluesfest Sunday Session! Whoop! Alfie and I were on a mission to enjoy all the music we could...and we did! All 10 hours of it! Such a massive day, Alfie was an absolute trouper to survive from 1pm until the end. We started with hour-long sets from The Whitlams, PJ Morton and then WILSN, absolutely awesome and earlier in the day before the massive crowds poured in...a short food and walk around break then it was onto Blind Boys of Alabama, Taj Mahal and Jimmy Barnes with guest appearances from Josh Teskey and Tommy Emmanuel. Such an amazing loud live music set up under the big tents, Alfie loved feeling the bass and drums from all these bands and artists vibrating through him. 

Very tired legs by this stage, 8pm, non stop standing and powering through - Alfie determined to get right in the middle of the crowd for Peter Garrett and Midnight Oil (knowing that his favs The Teskey Brothers were the next act at 9.30pm and he wanted to be front and centre for them)...so he got the full on mosh pit experience, a thousand people going nuts, poor Alfie fading at one stage and having to sit at my feet for one song, it was a push but he didn't back out, we had lasted so long! The set finished and we pushed our way to the front...it made his day when he ducked and dived and finally got his hands on that front bannister, well done Alfie! Not another kid in sight at this stage - everyone around loving Alfies enthusiasm. 

Teskey Brothers put on a cracker of a show! We also caught some of Ben Harper on the way out around 11pm....on the walk back to the car we were both giggling about how good it'll feel to sit down after 10 hours of standing. Good times!

Dick and Roy should own an auto repair and customization shop. It would be so perfect for them! They both like customizing their cars, they can set their own hours, and they can even have space to make customized bikes and weapons for themselves. They could even have a room specifically for Lian to hangout in so that Roy can bring her to work more often and not worry about a babysitter!

They would make the sickest looking bikes! And during summer months, they could do some classes for teens who are interested in learning how to fix or customize automobiles. Either lessons or some kind of internship program. That way if Dick and Roy get caught up in some longer than planned vigilante thing, they can still have their interns go in and do some simple repairs. 

You can’t look at these two passionately talking about their customization jobs and tell me it wouldn’t be something they’d be interested in doing as a profession. Look at them happily talking about the work they’ve done:

First Kiss

Description: Kisses are something that are shared between people who care about each other. Y/N Wayne, Bruce’s adopted child, has had many kisses in life. Here are some snap shots of different kisses Y/N has experienced.

Word Count: 550+

Warnings: None

Series Masterlist

"Wow. Didn't know you could clean up nicely, Harper." Y/N drank apple juice from a champagne flute while looking the slightly older boy up and down. Roy Harper was the one person Bruce Wayne hoped his daughter didn't take a liking to. 

"Thanks. Same to you, Wayne." Roy nudged Y/N's arm as they looked onward to groups of old people. Y/N, like any sixteen-year-old, would rather be fighting crime than being stuck in some stiff and itchy dress. The highlight of the night has been Jason getting caught by a group of old socialites who have been pinching his cheek for the past hour.

"I'm bored. Do you want to have some fun?" Y/N passed the flute to some waiter as she grabbed Roy by the arm. 

"Please," Gently dragging the ginger to Wayne Manor's kitchen, Y/N searched for Alfred. Alfred was filling in the last row of pastries when Y/N snuck one in her mouth. 

"I saw that," Handing the teenager a basket of junk food, Alfred shooed Y/N from the kitchen. Y/N passed the basket to Roy. Well, he couldn't just stand there and look pretty. 

"Alfred, can you tell Bruce I'm clocking out?" 

"Of course, Miss Y/N. The theater has been prepped for you."

"Thanks, Alfie," Y/N said giving the old man a kiss on the cheek before beckoning the red-head to follow her on. At that moment Roy would've followed Y/N to the end of the Earth and she didn't even know it.

-

"This is my safe haven." Y/N opened a large mahogany door to reveal an in-home theater. The title credits to her favorite movie were starting to play and the lights were dimmed. In the center of the theater were soft pillows and blankets. 

"So all this time when me and Jason were bored, we could've dipped with you?" Roy asked while running a hand through his hair. It ruined the gel but it looked more like him. It fit his charm better.

"Yeah. Kinda proves me to be the better sibling." Y/N simply gave a lazy smile to Roy. 

"Definitely the hotter sibling," Choking on her soda, Y/N almost ruined her 50,000 thousand dollar outfit. 

"Roy Harper calling me hot. Hell must've frozen over." Y/N quickly recomposed herself. She wouldn't let him see her falter. 

"Hardy har har. You've always been pretty to me." Roy slowly inched closer. Y/N noticed but didn't care. The movie began to fade into the background. 

"Yeah and that's why you dumped slime on me at my seventh grade formal." Y/N turned to look at the red-headed boy. His face became a tomato when reminded of one of his lower moments.

"I may have been a douche but I've gotten better."  His face moved closer to your names. Their noses were barely brushing against each others'. Y/N noted a brief twinkle in Roy's eyes. 

"Surprisingly, you have." Y/N closed the gap between the two. Roy placed his hand in the nape of Y/N's neck to bring her closer. Y/N's hands rested on his cheeks as their lips molded together. They were so invested in the moment that they didn't notice the footsteps approaching them. 

"Hey, Y/N, Bruce wants y-. Roy! That's my sister." Jason fumed and began to chase Roy around the theater. Y/N would remember this night for two reasons. The first being it's the night that Jason gave Roy a bloody nose and the second being it's the night Y/N had her first kiss.

Tim: [turns towards Damian] and then there were two

Steph: you work with guns Jason how on earth could you lose?

Duke: would you please stop using me as a meatshield?

Damian: Surrender, Drake, I will be the one acquiring the puppy

Harper: he’s on vacation for the week

Selina: [raises an eyebrow] so what you’re saying is...

Harper: We’re gonna bolt and leave Bruce with the bill

Kate: ...what about Damian?

Dick: I’m taking him with me to Blüdhaven

Kate:

Kate: I’m so glad I don’t have children

Ok but like imagine Stephanie Brown and Claire Novak as the same person like after Claire’s parents die she gets ‘adopted’ by Crystal and Arthur. Like Arthur killed the real Stephanie and Crystal went crazy so he took her from some group house or something.

When they start calling her Stephanie she decides that going by a different name would be better than Arthur beating her again.

Then when Arthur becomes Cluemaster. She doesn’t feel bad about becoming the bane of his existence as Spoiler ‘Enemy to criminals and People who hate Purple’ not one bit.

When she falls in love with the 2nd Robin she doesn’t tell him her real name. She tells him Spoiler. When he tells her he knows who she really is, she’s relieved when he says Stephanie Brown.

It was the first time she was relieved to hear the name.

When he dies she’s devastated she never told him her real name. She screams and crys and wants to vow to never love another. But Jason left her an ‘in case of my death’ note. Making her promise to not be alone.

She vows to not love lightly and to insure he would approve.

It doesn’t help when she falls in love next it’s with the criminal Red Hood. So she fights it and fights it and fights it. Jason would never tolerate The Red Hood much less approve of him or his methods.

Then Black Mask kidnaps and tortures her. But Hood saves her. Jason would like him. Even if he was to late.

Hood tries anyway rushes her to Leslie and begs her to live. When she asks why he cares so much he takes off the helmet and says “Because I love you.” She doesn’t get the chance to say it back to scold Jason about not telling her he was alive this whole time. In fact she doesn’t get to say anything because blood is pooling in her mouth. But she squeezes his hand 3 times to say ‘I love you too’ and he says he understands.

She hopes he writes something good for her grave.

When she wakes up she’s in a coffin 6ft. under and her gravestone says Stephanie Brown 2001-2018 ‘A light in the darkness of Gotham that inspired Kind Hearts.’ She didn’t get to read it until 5 years later.

When she dug herself out she was greated by a hand with a trench coat draped over the wrist. Cas had brought her back from hell. She almost didn’t want him too. Two years in hell meant her soul might be damaged beyond repair. He knew that but He saved her anyway.

Cas had tried to apologize for not being able to save her sooner but he had been in Purgatory with Dean. Then Heaven had controlled his mind. She said it was ok, that she was ok that she didn’t even remember hell.

She lied on both counts. He let her.

Cas brought her to Dean who in turn brought her to Rowena. The witch called in a favor with Ra’s Al Ghul. The Lazuras Pit healed her body and Rowena healed her soul.

But her mind was another thing. Magic and the mind don’t go together well. So she was left with the memories of hell and very little else. She didn’t remember Gotham or Spoiler or Jason. All she remembered was 2,400 years of hell. 1,500 years of being tortured. The first 400 of which demons wore Jason’s face to cause psychological harms along with the physical. 100 years of torturing later she didn’t know who he was beyond the face of a demon. 1,000 years later she didn’t recall him at all. Then she said yes. She picked up a blade and began 900 long years of ripping people apart. Of pain and screams and people begging for it to stop.

She was just happy it wasn’t her anymore.

That was what haunted her dreams the smile she bore as they bled, and burned, and cried.

The boys eventually took her to Soiux Falls, South Dakota to heal up. Jody and Alex set up her room. She hunted to pay penance. She killed Werewolves and Vampires, Witches and Demons. She killed the things that killed innocents.

She had a code.

She worked at the precinct for Jody. She got her high school diploma and started her Medical Degree to become a surgeon. Alex, Jody and the Winchesters were her family.

But she was missing something, someone.

She went to Ra’s trained as a league assassin. Became ‘Aleasfur’ (The Sparrow). She met Damien Al Ghul a Prince no older than 10 but with a battle strategy that outmatched most.

He looked familiar.

She didn’t find what she needed. So Ra’s released her “for now.”

She found Themyscira trained with Amazons and Goddesses.

She did not find what she needed.

After 5 years of searching for a way to heal her memory she went back to the first thing she remembered top-side. Her grave.

A man was setting purple flowers on her headstone. She had dyed her hair and changed so much he didn’t recognize her at first. She asked if he knew the person who was supposed to be in the coffin. He said he loved her. Then looked up, she knew the look had seen it before, the ‘I know you, You’re supposed to be dead’ look. When he stood up she almost ran but he hugged her before she could.

When The man hugged her she felt at home even though she had no memory of him. When he asked where she’d been she told him the truth. Told him of having only one memory of his voice saying “I love you.” Of trying to restore more of her memory by traveling the world only to be led back to the beginning.

‘Jason’ brought her to a place called Wayne Manor. Said “Alfie will help.” ‘Alfie’ injected her with a serum. As she passed out she realized how stupid she is to let a total stranger inject some drug into her arm.

When she woke up she remembered.

She remembered her parents, she remembered Arthur and Crystal, she remembered Bruce Wayne and Batman, she remembered Cass and Kara and Kate, she remembered Black Mask, she remembered Tim Drake-Wayne, Kon-el, Duke Thomas, and Dick Grayson. She remembered her friends and family.

But most of all she remembered Jason.

The taste of his lips, they feel of his hands on her thighs, the feel of his dick in her throat, the way he would talk so sweet as he nailed her so hard or the pull of her hair as he bent her over.

She remembered him.

How when they would read Jane Austen on rooftops he would bit his lower lip in concentration, or how right before he kissed her his nose would twitch, or when they first knocked someone out in one punch the other convinced Bruce to buy milkshakes.

She remembered everything.

The look frozen in time on his face, the shrapnel dug into his skin and the crowbar stuck in his head. She remembered every cut and bruise. She remembered the way her throat felt after screaming so hard she coughed up blood.

Then She remembered the Red Hood.

How it felt to betray Jason’s memory. How relieved she was when he took off the hood, how she died holding her lovers hand. How her last thought was that he would love someone else.

When she woke up everyone was there. Cass, Duke, Dick, Babs, Bruce, Kate, Kon-el, Tim, Harper, and Alfred.

And Jason could be found right next to her, holding her hand fast asleep with Titus at his feet.

When Jason woke up and everyone went to their own rooms he told her he broke their promise of loving again. That he couldn’t move on that he loved her still. She told him he might not after she told the truth about everything, about what she had been doing for the 5 years she’d been out of hell. About all the lies she told before she died. He promised it wouldn’t change the way he felt about her.

She explained everything hunting, heaven, her time in hell her new friends and family. And everything else.

Finally she told him her name. How it became hers and why she never told him. Then she told him that she understands if he can’t love her after everything but she will always love him and always has even when she didn’t remember him she missed him.

Then he said the one thing She had always wished for “I love you, Claire Novak.”

[2018shawn]

a small, quick write based on a concept me and @cumholland​ were talking about aka tom being obsessed with naming your unborn child

the day you found out you were pregnant, not only were your excited, but also shit scared terrified of carrying a little human, who literally depended on you for everything. two hours into the discovery, tom was already talking about names because he felt bad for calling him/her “the bub”. unbeknown to you, he’d ordered not one... not two... not three... but four baby name books, next day delivery, because he couldn’t think (nor spell) to save his life and he already had a name on the tip of his tongue, but he’d be damned if he could get the prefect fitting. 

what else you didn’t know, is that he’d ordered the books to your name, so when he’d left for work the next morning and you received the package, your eyebrows knitted together and hands immediately got to work on unwrapping the brown package. you couldn’t help the single tear that left your eye as you studied each individual book, opening each book to a random page and picking a random name each time. 

you opened your text conversation to tom, typing the four names you’d let your eyes fall over automatically. it was a while before he replied, but that was normal, considering he was a ridiculously busy movie star with a schedule busier than the moon. but when he did reply, your heart warmed at the names he’d returned, although, you were sure anything he said could make your heart flutter and knees fall weak.

when you got to 12 weeks, you both decided it was more than safe enough for you to officially declare yourself pregnant. the news soon spread far and wide, your friends, family and fans soon learning of the information and the incoming tweets, messages and instagram dm’s soon filled your phone, almost half of them being a suggestion of names. as you and tom sat on the sofa one cosy saturday evening, pizza on your legs and tessa giving the best puppy dog eyes, you started to scroll through the infinite amount of messages whilst suggesting the best choices aloud to tom.

“verity?” you asked, picking all the pepperoni off you pizza, even though you specifically asked for it.

“eh.... kinda old fashioned.” he shrugged, his sweat shorts riding high up his thighs and grey nike sweat top clinging to his body perfectly. it was then, you realised, there was no wonder how you got so pregnant so quick.

“okaaaaay...” you scrolled through more, screwing your face up at some suggestions until you landed on another that caught your eye. 

“sophie?”

“nope.”

you sighed, grunting until you found another name. “harper?”

“like the instrument?” he asked, picking the discarded pepperoni from your cardboard box and throwing it into his mouth. 

you took that as a no, although you weren't sure if he was being serious. “alfie?”

he was silent for a small while, letting himself finish the spiced pepperoni before washing it down with a neck full of beer. nodding, you could tell he was genuinely thinking about it, as if he was spelling out alfie holland in his head, just like you were. the last bite of his stuffed crust drove you insane, and it was almost like your baby’s name depended on this very decision. “alfie thomas holland.” 

that saturday night, four weeks ago, was the last time you and tom had talked about baby names and you thought that was okay, you wasn’t putting any pressure on it. 16 weeks in, your baby the size of an avocado (apparently), tom had to fly across the pacific pond for some work stuff and you hated every minute of saying goodbye. he hated it even more. he hated when he had to say goodbye, even when you weren't pregnant, but now you were carrying a mini tom, he fought with everything he had in him to not leave the country although his pleads were denied. tommy, it’s okay. you assured him, we’ll both be here waiting for you. you’d said, watching him walk away with his lonely suitcase as he boarded the plane. that was all it took for you too pull your phone out and send the message. 

two days into tom’s work trip, you were knee deep in contracts and invoices that your boss had sent, with firm instruction that they all must be completed by the time the sun sets. tom was sat in a beauty chair, gushing to his hair stylist how perfect of a mum you’ll be, while you poured yourself a fifth cup of tea. you’d forgotten what a personal phone is, you’d forgotten what daylight looks like and you’d forgotten you were meant to be eating for two, letting the occasional lunch slip your mind. it was nothing new when you email notification sounded, the ping filling the room and making you roll your eyes, yet again. although, further research into the new email made your heart flutter and mouth smile, fully aware it was not from your boss, or let alone, any work colleague.

what about isaac for a boy?

or

evangeline for a girl?

love you soooooOooOooOOoOoO much

ps remember to eat

as a well known instagram poster, it was when you decided to go live that you decided tom was a total doofus, as if you hadn’t considered that summary beforehand. speaking to the zillion and one incoming messages, you answered as many questions as you could, trying to ignore the blue tick that kept appearing in the comments, bold capital letters threatening to take over the screen.

EMMA

IRIS

HUNTER

HANG ON...

NIKKI

BC MY MUM

in the midst, was a thousand and one people commenting how cute he was, only spurring him on to comment more names and as much as you tired to ignore it, you couldn’t. it was hard to answer any normal questions, your entire feed flooded with baby names and comments about tom and of course you weren’t mad, by any stretch of the imagination, but for once you though instagram might pull you back into normal life.

MARIE

LIKE THAT CAT

you finally gave in one night, agreeing to join tom at one of his live interviews and although you wouldn’t be appearing on the screen as such, you felt nervous for being in front of such a large audience and crew. tom had stayed with you as much as he could, before hair and make up beckoned him but even then, you stayed with harrison, who was able to calm you nerves and keep your mind occupied. 

tom, of course, appeared on the guest sofa looking like a complete snack as always, leaving you pining behind the camera. it began with many questions about the film, but when the guests had drunk a couple of sips of whiskey, the collars started to loosen and questions started to flow.

“so, tom, we have a name generator....” the host pulled out a fish bowl, full of folded up pieces of paper. “and we think, whatever you pull out you should name your unborn child...”

tom immediately looked for you, finding you just behind the camera man with a shocked, but amused expression. when you nodded, tom knew it was more than acceptable for him to play along, giving everyone what they wanted. his hand dipped deep into the bowl as he secretly wished for a name that he hoped would not only be super cute, but one that you'd already chosen together. he pulled out a single paper, the crowd and host on the edge of their sit as he unfolded. 

“thomas jr... really?!”

If you‘re still taking writing requests, maybe something with the batfam having to take care of Dick?

Hiya! Sorry it took so long to get to this! But here we are, enjoy!

Breaking his arm wasn't exactly how Dick had intended to spend this month.

He'd been laid off of work because of his arm, he couldn't go out as Nightwing because of his arm, he could barely cook because of his arm.

He was just stuck at home, mostly by himself. The Titans all tried to stop by every once in a while, and they'd all be trading off running patrols for him, but even the occasional weekend with one of his friends or even his boyfriend wasnt quite enough to stave off the intense depression that accompanied his time off. He'd read so many books and binged so many tv shows. And now he just wasn't interested in anything.

Running and working out was awkward with a broken arm, so he could barely stay active. He couldn't sleep well because he was a stomach sleeper. He couldn't crochet or knit or any of the various busy work hobbies he'd picked up because they all required both hands.

After a while, he just got bored and drove back home, leaving a note for anyone who came to his apartment (inside the apartment, because we all know Dick's friends just let themselves in anyway), sent the Titans a text and then headed for Gotham.

When he got there it was around 1am, and the entire family was down in the cave or gone. He just dropped his overnight bag in his bedroom, then went down to the cave.

Alfred was thoroughly shocked to see him. 

"Master Richard!" Alfred exclaimed, looking up from where he was fixing a hole in a uniform.

"Hi, Alfie."

Jason teased him for being lonely.

He ended up being sat down in the lounge area while Alfred quickly made some tea, then came and scolded him for how loose he was wearing his sling.

Damian was the first one to arrive back home, Jon on his heels like a loyal puppy, and he too immediately started scolding Dick, mostly for not resting. 

Tim made some comment about keeping his mind active.

And Bruce, who arrived last, at nearly 3am, just gave Dick a confused look before disappearing into the locker room, and when he came back, wearing sweats and a hoodie, he held a hand out to his eldest.

"Come on, let's go get food."

Dick grabbed his father's hand with his good one and let himself be pulled up. They walked to the elevator in silence. And then road up it in silence.

"Blüdhaven was too quite."

"I know."

"I didn't want to intrude but I was just bored."

"You're not intruding."

"And I'm sorry to come unannounced but-"

"Dick." Bruce turned to his son as the elevator stopped. "This is your home, you're always welcome here."

Dick grinned just a bit, his slight anxiety eased. He followed Bruce through to the kitchen, where he could hear the others already chattering.

"Where's Cass?"

"Off with the other girls," Bruce explained, stepping into the kitchen. "So it's a boys- er . . . It's just us this weekend."

Dick smiled lightly at Bruce's quick correction but didn't comment, especially as Damian was already harassing him about eating.

"When was the last time you ate, Grayson?" Damian asked in that sassy, authorative voice of his. He was helping Jason prepare something.

"Uh, earlier? Like, six pm."

Damian nodded thoughtfully. "Good good."

"Where'd the kid go?"

"Jon is asleep," Damian answered as if it was an obvious fact, then turned to dump some veggies into a huge pan.

"Are you guys making stir-fry?"

Dick went to grab a glass, but found Tim holding a cup up in front of him. He took it with a quiet thanks and went to get water from the fridge.

"That is the plan."

"Does Alfie know you're up to this?"

"Tt, of course, Grayson."

Dick hung out with his siblings and father while waiting for their food to be done, and once it was, they all migrated to the dining room, sitting around the table and chatting. Dick got mocked because he couldn't use chopsticks, and in turn he mocked the others for anything and everything he could think of. But they were all laughing and grinning and it was so worth it.

He ending up spending the whole weekend, and the next week as well, even though during the afternoons he was still pretty bored, with everyone gone for work or school. He often sat around in whatever room Alfred was in, trailing after him like a lost puppy, like he used to do during summers when he was a kid. Sometimes they just sat around and had tea together and chatted and it was amazing.

Dick could tell everyone was watching him, a little cautiously. Everyone was preventing him from doing anything that could put stress on his arm, constantly offering to get him things, or jumping up to grab something before he could. In a way it was driving him insane, but at the same time, in a selfish way, it was nice to have them solely focused on him. Or at least, solely focused on him when they were out of costume or not fighting with each other.

"Richard, you need to elevate your arm."

Dick looked over at Damian, who had just walked in, a sketchbook and a pack of pencils clutched against his chest.

"Right. I was just." Dick motioned towards the book he had been reading.

Damian frowned, and marched over. He set his sketchbook on the coffee table and stacked up some pillows next to Dicks arm. 

"There."

Then he scooped up his sketchbook and plopped down in an armchair on the other side of the room.

"When did you get back from school?" Dick asked, noting Damian was still in his school uniform.

"Twenty minutes ago."

The kid selected a pencil and started drawing on the page, not bothering to look up at Dick.

"Whatcha gonna draw?"

"I don't know yet.”

Dick decided to leave Damian alone, clearly he wasn't in a talking mood, so he just returned to reading, glad Bruce had a much larger library then he did.

An hour later, Tim walked in and plopped down next to Dick, a bag of chips in one hand and a laptop in the other. 

Another hour later and Bruce appeared, Cassandra with him, the two signing and laughing with each other.

Slowly the living room filled up with members of their crazy family. Jason and Duke, Babs and Steph, Kate, Harper, Carrie, Cullen, and Dick had no idea why they were all here, even as they all gathered in the dining room for dinner.

Finally he leaned over to Babs. "So, mind telling me what's going on here?"

She looked up at him with a grin.

"One of your gingers gave us a call and told us you had been lonely. So when we all found out you were here, we figured we'd drop by."

Dick snorted, adjust his sling. "Wally."

Babs winked at him. "On the nose."

Dick just shook his head, turning to look around the table, voices echoing off the dining room walls and causing a chaotic mess of sound. And he grinned. He grinned because he loved his family, his large, wonderful, crazy family, and he wouldn't trade them for anything.

BWYD Chapter 14

Jason and Roy are Running Away and Dragging Marinette and Lian with Them

Jason walked into Marinette’s room, a smile on his face as he raised his hand to knock on the door frame. “Hey. Pixie Pop?”

Marinette looked up from the jacket she was altering, her needle held gently between her lips, and her eyes widened in surprise. She carefully placed her needle on a scrap piece of fabric and disentangled herself from the thread before she rose from where she was in her bay window. She smiled at her brother and scooped up Houdini. “Yeah Jay-Jay?”

His smile grew and he strode into the room. “You wanna go visit Uncle Clark?”

Her eyes lit up and she nodded rapidly. “Yes! Yes yes yes!” She quickly collected her “Uncle Clark” bag (which was merely an old duffle bag from when Bruce was young) and rushed at her brother. “Do you think Damian or Colin will be able to watch Oberon and Houdini while we’re gone?”

Jason nodded and ruffled her already messy hair. “Get dressed in some more comfortable clothes, we’ll meet in the kitchen to get some roadtrip snacks and drinks before going down to the garage.” He smiled and pressed an affectionate kiss to her forehead. “Okay?”

Marinette changed into an oversized black t-shirt with a red superman symbol in the center over a pair of light denim jeggings with a good amount of stretch. She pulled on a pair of red socks before slipping her feet into a pair of worn brown combat boots. She ran her fingers through her hair and pulled it back into a messy bun. She looked around her room and deftly collected the jacket she was altering, placing it in a bag over her sketchbook and some other partially finished projects. She looked around a final time, nodding when she decided she had everything she needed. “Come on Tikki.”

Tikki flew into her messy bun and settled herself amongst the hair of her holder. She let out a relaxed sigh before Marinette offered her a macaron.

Marinette picked up her bags and walked out of her room towards the kitchen. She waved at Alfred before walking over to her grandfather and pressing a kiss to his cheek. “Will you be okay if Jay-Jay and I go visit Uncle Clark?”

“Of course.” He smiled and rested a hand on her shoulder. “What can I get you for your trip?”

Marinette smiled and shrugged before she wandered around the kitchen, her steps light and fairy-like. “Probably something with Vitamin C and something with protein. So it’s not all sugar and fat.” She plucked a selection of fruits from the fruit bowl beside the fridge before moving to the pantry. She hummed a tune to herself as she grabbed various snacks before she heard the much clunkier footsteps of Jason approaching.

Jason walked into the kitchen, a mischievous smile on his face. “Hey Alfie.” His voice came out high and lilting, a clear sign that he was up to something. “When’re Bruce and Dick supposed to be back?”

“Twenty minutes Master Jason. Am I to assume that you are running away before they return?” A coy grin teased at the corner of his lips and he shook his head. “What did you do this time Master Jason?”

“You know me so well Alfie.” Jason went around the kitchen plucking sweet treats from the pantry and bottled drinks from the fridge before he waved over his shoulder as he left. “Give my regards to the old man. Come on Pixie Pop.”

Marinette looked after her brother before shaking her head and putting her goodies in an insulated bag. “Bye Grandpa Alfie. I’m sorry that Alfie stuck.” She pressed a kiss to her grandfather’s cheek before passing him a smile and walking out of the kitchen.

---

Marinette and Jason were cruising down the highway, belting out the lyrics to Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” when Jason slowed down. He rolled down his window and Marinette watched his posture relax. “Hey Roy! What’re you doing?”

Marinette watched as Jason’s friend, Roy Harper (the ward of her Ubaba’s business rival Oliver Quinn), looked around before his green eyes focused on Jason. “Oh, Jaybird. It’s you.” Roy walked to the (now stopped) car and lifted his daughter, Lian, up onto his hip. “What’re you two doing?”

“We’re going to Uncle Clark’s!” Marinette happily supplied from the back. “Where’re you two going?”

Roy looked down into his daughter’s tired green eyes, before looking back up at Jason. “We’re running away from Quinn’s. Can we bum a ride to Metropolis? Wally’s offered to take us in for a few days.”

Jason nodded and unlocked the doors. “I understand the need to run away. Get in.”

Roy settled Lian in the back seat before he climbed into the passenger seat and sighed. “Thanks.”

Jason nodded and tossed a few snacks to Roy, watching Marinette pass some snacks to Lian in the rearview mirror, before he turned the radio’s volume up.

---

Jason and Roy sat beside their respective child in a booth in a diner, gentle smiles on their faces. “So, what do you think sounds good?”

“I’ll probably get a burger and fries.” Roy shrugged before he looked down at his daughter. “What about you Lian?”

She shrugged and appeared as though she was going to say something when a pair of older ladies approached the table.

“Oh my. Aren’t you two handsome men? And so good with children too.” The older ladies chorused in unison, their eyes trailing down Roy and Jason’s forms in a lecherous manner.

Jason reached across the table and placed his hand on Roy’s arm, a smile on his face. “It takes a lot of patience, doesn’t it sweetums?” He turned to look at the two older ladies and flashed them a “get lost” smile. “We’re both so young but we somehow made this little family of our’s work, him raising his young daughter and I raising my sister. Isn’t that right Pixie Pop?”

Marinette nodded from where she’d burrowed into her older brother’s side before she flashed the sad orphan eyes to the older women. “But it’s really nice having Roy and Lian around.” She brought tears to her eyes and blinked to let them cascade down her cheeks. “Before the rest of our family died, we had a really big family. Our father, our grandfather, our four brothers and three sisters. We all lived together in a beautiful house but,” she sniffled and hid her face behind her hands. “They passed in a fire that burned down our house.”

The older women turned their attention to Roy and Lian, who were in a similar position to Jason and Marinette. Lian hid in Roy’s chest and Roy simply glared at the women. “I believe our waitress would like to take our order so if you could,” he shooed the women away, and they left (begrudgingly).

“What can I get you folks started with today?”

Jason looked around the table before nodding. “I think we’ll all have your famous burger, two with cheese, one without onion, and one with only pickles, with fries and four strawberry milkshakes.”

---

The group of four got back on the road and drove to the house of Wally West. They all got out to walk Roy and Lian to the door, which was answered by Wally’s own children, Jai and Iris. Roy and Lian smiled as Lian and the West children ran into the house, their laughter following them.

Wally came to the door and smiled at his friends. “Hey Roy, Jay.” He took Roy and Lian’s bags and laughed. “I didn’t realize we were having so many house guests. I’ll have to make up another guest room.”

Jason shook his head, accompanied by Marinette’s firm “no”, before looking at Roy and Wally. “We’re just passing through on our way to Kent’s. Figured we’d give that bozo a ride.”

---

Jason pulled up outside of Clark Kent’s home, pulling his go bag from the floor behind his seat while Marinette happily carried her bag to the front door.

Marinette simply opened the door and walked in. “Uncle Clark! Aunt Lois! Oiseau Noir! Chiot!”

Jason walked into the house to see Marinette in a group hug with Conner and Jon and he let out a laugh. He pulled out his phone to take a picture of the three before Clark walked into the entryway.

“What’d you do this time?” Clark’s jovial voice reached Jason and Jason turned to him, turning off his phone.

“Nothing they can prove.”

Future Me

Summary: Batman gets hit by magic and now Bruce Wayne is twenty-something with memories to match.

Link to ao3

xxx

Hal flew as fast as he could toward Gotham.

"There was a magical attack on Batman. We could use you here,"

That was all Oracle had told him.

And now he was flying at top speed toward his boyfriend.

Once he got to the Batcave, he was instantly let in, the other Bats probably expecting his presence.

He was expecting a lot of things once he got to the med bay. From screaming and crying to plants sprouting out of his skin.

What he wasn't expecting was an unconscious Bruce.

A very young-looking unconscious Bruce.

"Uh, what?" he asked

All the other occupants of the room, Hal was too frazzled to count exactly how many members of the bat-clan were present, turned their heads toward him.

"We were fighting a new magical opponent when Bruce got hit by a blast," said Dick, "We've already sent the guy off to Zatanna. Now we're just waiting for him to wake up,"

"There are two options here. Either B got de-aged or our B and this guy have swapped places,"

"Uh-okay," said Hal stepping closer to the bed, "Not that I'm not grateful for the call but why did you guys call me here? Don't you guys handle these things among yourselves?"

Tim shrugged, "The more heads the better. And we don't know what his memory is like so we decided to call you,"

"And trust," murmured Cass, "Trust you. Family,"

And no, it was not the time to get chocked up over the fact that his boyfriend's favourite child just called him family.

"Okay," he said, "Okay. Cool. Um, if you're taking suggestions, we should probably move him upstairs though. If we don't know exactly how much of his life he'll remember. Don't want him to freak out on us,"

"That is a good idea, Mister Jordan," said Alfred from behind them, "Master Jason and Master Dick, why don't you move Master Bruce to the main sitting room,"

And wow when did he get in here. Good Lord, this whole family needed bells around their necks.

The two oldest boys gently picked up their father between them and moved toward the elevator, the rest of the family behind them, those who couldn't fit in the elevator heading up the stairs.

Once they got to the room, they deposited Bruce on the couch, taking up various positions around the room.

"So, what do we-" started Duke and was interrupted by a loud ring.

Barbara pressed her finger to her earpiece, "I'm here Z. What's the report?"

The girl nodded a few times as the family waited with baited breathe.

"Okay. Thanks, Z," said Barbara, clinking her piece off.

"So," she said turning to them, "Turns out the guy was just an amateur that got possessed by one of his grandmother's caged demons?"

"What now?" said Jason

"Yeah. They're looking into it," said Barbara, "The staff that was used just de-aged him. It's supposed to be used to jog memories and experiences and should wear off on its own,"

"Do we know what his memories will be like?" asks Stephanie

Barbara shook her head, "Just the result of the action, not exactly the how,"

"Well," said Alfred, "With that bit of mystery solved. We should just wait for him to wake up. I will prepare tea and snacks in the meantime. Master Damian, would you like to come and help me?"

It was phrased like a question but Hal had known the older man long enough to know that it wasn't. Not that Damian seemed to be any mood to fight Alfred on it. On the contrary, he seemed to be relieved to have the excuse to leave the room, almost like he didn't want to...

It suddenly occurred to him how scary this probably was for the young boy. The rest of the occupants of the room either remembered a much younger Bruce and all of them were practically adults. Damian was still a child and had only just started getting comfortable around his father. And as much as Damian liked to act tough, he was still just a little boy, and little boys worshipped their fathers.

A soft groan pulled his attention away to the figure on the couch.

Bruce was waking up.

xxx

Bruce opened his eyes, fighting against his headache.

Had he gotten drunk again? He hoped not. He hadn't gotten blackout drunk since he was fifteen.

"Bruce?" There were someone's hands on his shoulders, helping him sit up.

"Alfie?"

But no. The hands were too light, too small to be Alfred's.

"No, it's Dick, Bruce?"

Now that made him open his eyes.

"What now?"

And then Bruce's eyes widened. Because he was surrounded by about a dozen people, all looking at him with varying degrees of concern.

"Um, who are you, people?"

A series of emotions went around the room.

"You don't remember us, B," said a teenage girl with blonde hair, a wary look on her face.

"We're your kids, B,"

His eyes widened. What?

"Well not all of us obviously but yeah, most of us were raised by you and-"

"Shut up Tim," muttered a young man with a tuft of white hair, "You're just confusing him more,"

"Right," Tim murmured, "Sorry,"

He should be freaked out, shouldn't he? There were strangers surrounding him and his memory was very very foggy. Yet, he felt a sort of familiarity and ease surrounded by these people.

"Maybe someone could explain from the start?" He asked

"That sounds like a wonderful idea," said a very familiar voice.

Bruce turned in relief and then stopped.

"Alfred, why do you look so old?"

Alfred smiled, "It's a long story, Master Bruce. Why don't you have some tea, while you listen,"

Bruce nodded and leaned back as ordered.

xxx

Bruce was staring at them with wide eyes.

"Okay, so most of you are...my children? How many do I have again,"

"Biologically, one. Legally, six. Emotionally, three more," said Barbara, "And no I'm not one of them. I'm like a little sister. So is this one,"

Kate lifted her hand and gave a little wave

Hal watched as Bruce's eyes flitted between both women and then stopped at Kate.

"Kate Kane?"

"Yup,"

"Huh," said Bruce, "So what? We...like each other now,"

Kate laughed, "Something like that,"

"Hmm. And you?" he said turning to Barbara

"Oh come on, Bruce," she said wit ha grin, "Are you saying you don't recognize your favourite redhead,"

"My favourite- wait! Barbara!"

"Hey, Bruce," she said softly

"Oh my god," he said, emotion shining in his eyes. He reached out, almost involuntarily, and Barbare came forward and quickly took his hand in his.

"Oh my god," he repeated, eyes still wide, "You're supposed to be a seven years old little girl,"

Barbara laughed, "No, B. You're supposed to be a forty years old man,"

"Wow. Okay. Wow. And you?" he said turning to Helena

"Helena Bertinelli," she sais, extending her hand. Bruce took it and gave it a shake.

"We're friends," she told him, "It's a long story,"

Broce nods in ascent, "And the rest of you are my children?"

Without waiting for an answer, he turns toward Hal and he feels him himself straighten under the penetrating gaze.

"Not you though?" said Bruce, "You look a little too old for that,"

Hal tries to think of a suitable answer but the decision is taken away when Jason smirks and opens his mouth.

"That's your boyfriend," said Jason, light smirk on his face, "But, honestly, we're all just waiting for the rings,"

"Huh," sais Bruce, seemingly unfazed. Then he dragged his gaze up and down Hal's body.

"At least future me has good taste,"

That one earned him a groan from his kids and, Hal would never admit it, made him feel a little giddy.

Bruce then turned his head toward the rest of them.

"And what are your names again?" he said, gesturing his gaggle of children

"Richard. I was the first but you adopted me when I was an adult,"

"Jason. Jay. I came after Dickiebird,"

"I'm Tim,"

"Cass,"

"Damian,"

"I'm Duke. I'm the most recent one,"

"I'm Stephanie. I'm not really your kid but you're pretty emotionally attached,"

"I'm Cullen,"

"I'm Harper. Cullen and I are biological siblings. We met a while back. You help us out and basically 'dad' us a lot,"

It took everything in Hal to not laugh at Bruce's widening eyes. He got the feeling that up until now it hadn't really hit Bruce exactly how many kids he had as an adult.

Bruce turned toward and Alfred, "Alfie? Do I have a problem? An orphan problem? Is future me sane?"

At that Hal did laugh. It sounded so much like what the league and his own kids said about Bruce.

"Why do I feel like I said something funny?" said Bruce, looking at their amused faces.

He then turned toward Damian, "And I'm guessing you're the biological kid Barbara mentioned?"

"Oooh," said Stephanie, "What gave it away? Was it the scowl?"

"Or the whole angry kid face?"

"Probably the scowl,"

But Bruce was still staring at Damian.

"You have my mother's eyes,"

You could have heard a pin drop with the silence that filled the room. Hal swallowed, thinking of the few times Bruce had mentioned the similarities between two of the most important people in his life.

In the end, it was Bruce that broke the silence again, "And you have Talia al Ghul's everything else. Guess we know what happened with that,"

Someone snorted and a few chuckles went around the room. Slowly and quietly Hal sipped out of the room, leaving the bat-clan to talk amongst themselves.

xxx

Hal was sitting on one of the many balcony's of the Wayne Manor when he heard the door open behind him.

"Hal, right? Why did you leave?"

He turned around and found BRuce standing at the door.

"Habit," he said smiling, "It's basically an unofficial rule that when you're having a moment with you kids, I leave you alone to do it,"

"But you're family too aren't you? That's what they made it sound,"

Hal smiled and hoped that the emotion welling in his chest and clogging his throat didn't show in his face.

"Yes, well certain things are between you and them,"

"Oh,"

There was a moment of silence and then Hal gestured to one of the chairs beside him.

"Come sit,"

Bruce came and sat, giving him an assessing look. Hal was just about to ask when Brue beat him to it.

"How did we get together?"

"Wow. Huh," said Hal, "Uh. That's an interesting story,"

"I want to hear it,"

"Well," Hal began, "We met through work and you and I didn't like each other much. There were more than a few years of just arguing and fighting. But then we were on an assignment together and we got stuck in a cramped place,"

The cramped place had been a cave on a different planet but he figured it didn't need to be mentioned.

"Please tell me we didn't have the cliche sex," said Bruce

Hal laughed "No. We didn't. We did start to talk a lot though. It's surprising how deep a conversation can go when you don't have anywhere to storm off to. Anyway, after knowing that much about each other we couldn't exactly stay mad. Especially since we knew why the other did certain things. One thing leads to another, you took me on a date, I took you on a date. We kissed and now here we are,"

It had been much more complicated than that but that wasn't something he wanted to explain to the twenty-something version of his boyfriend.

"Another question," said Bruce, "Damian seems to be acting a little odd around me. Is that normal for him?"

Hal pursed his lips as he thought about how to answer that.

"I think he's just a bit thrown off by you," he told Bruce, "Most of them have known you long enough to remember a much younger you and are adults that aren't too affected, Damian is young and had a...different life before coming here. While the others are having fun learning about the younger version of the man they love, he just sees a stranger and Damian doesn't do good with trust in the first place. This is just throwing him for a loop,"

"Ah"

There ware a few moments of silence until Bruce spoke again.

"Do you mind if I just sit here with you for a little while longer?"

Hal was confused as to why he wouldn't want to go in with the others but one look at this hopeful face and he bit his tongue and nodded his head.

"Of course,"

xxx

Bruce felt himself stir awake. The first thing he noticed was the headache, the other thing he noticed was that he had fallen asleep in a chair outside. A quick look around indicated that he wasn't the only one. Hal was in the chair next to him, also asleep. Someone had covered them both with blankets.

How had he gotten here? The last thing he remembered was...

And then memories started coming in snippets. Getting blasted. Being young. Not remembering anything.

The memories seemed close yet also far away.

He should probably talk to Damian though.

"Oh? You look normal again,"

Bruce turned to his right to see Hal sitting up and giving him an assessing look.

On impulse, Bruce leaned over, took Hal's face in his hands and gave him a long kiss. Hal responded with a smile on his lips.

"Huh," he said with a grin, "You are back,"

Bruce laughed and tugged him until they were standing.

"Let's go inside,"

Dick was the first one to see them and nearly knocked Bruce over with his hug. Next were Cass and Steph. One by one they all greeted him but Bruce couldn't help but notice that Damian hung back.

Once everyone had settled down, he walked his youngest to his study.

"Come here," said Bruce, "I want to talk to you,"

Damian follows him silently. When they get to the study, Bruce sits down on the couch and holds an arm out for the young boy. It's telling when Damian doesn't even hesitate to put himself under his father's arm and snuggle into his side.

"Are you alright?"

"Of course," said Damian

"Damian,"

His son sighs, "It was just odd, seeing you like that. It was like you were gone and I guess- I guess it made me a bit uncomfortable,"

"I see,"

"I'm sorry,"

Bruce quickly pulled the young boy into his lap, tucking him close to his chest.

"You have nothing to be sorry for," he said kissing his hair, "It's okay to feel uncomfortable,"

"Nobody else was,"

"All people react differently Damian. Nothing wrong with that. Okay?"

Damian pursed his lips but nodded.

"Okay,"

"Ready to join the others again?"

Damian nodded and slid out of his lap to stand up. Bruce smiled and lead him out with a hand on his shoulder.

The sitting room was filled with conversation and laughter and Damian instantly settled himself between Dick and Cass.

Bruce, though, took a little longer to watch them, making his chest fill with joy.

God, he really loved his family.

[thebluenebula]

So todays my birthday so I figured I'd write a birthday fic for Ashleigh. I really enjoyed writing this. This take place about three to six months after she arrived, so she is much more comfortable around the Batfam.

Masterlist

The Day After (Coming Soon)

Birthday

I sat at the breakfast table, reading todays paper. I never really read them. I just skimmed through them until some picture or crazy headline caught my eye. Bruce sat across from me.

"So." He loudly said.

I looked up from the paper. "So?"

"Sunday."

"What about Sunday?"

"It's your birthday."

"Oh." I was genuinely shocked. It didn't feel like a year had passed. I guess when a lot happens, you don't notice the time go by.

"I was just wondering what you wanted to do for it?"

"I don't really want to do anything." I explained.

"Really?"

"Yup."

"No party?"

"Yep."

"You're only eighteen once Ashleigh."

"And I'm quite content not to celebrate it."

"Alright." Bruce looked a little disappointed. "How about a gift, what kinda gift do you want?"

"Gift." I looked at Bruce with genuine shock. "Bruce you've literally given me everything I could have ever needed in the last six months."

He grinned. "Thats my job."

"I dont need anything else."

"I know you don't need anything, but so you WANT anything?"

"How about my own house?" I joked.

"If you want one." Bruce replied, deadly serious.

"No." I quickly responded. "I'm not going to get kicked out am I?"

"Of course not."

I sighed with relief. I may be about to be eighteen but I'm in no way prepared to be on my own.

"If I was going to kick out any of my kids, don't you think Dick and Jason would already be gone."

"What's this about me getting kicked out?" Jay asked as he walked in.

"Don't worry Jay, I'm not kicking you out. Yet." Bruce assured him. "Just making a point."

"Wait," Jay leaned against the table. "I understand why your using me as an example, but why would you want to kick out Dick?"

Bruce shivered. "I have heard him say things I never wanted to hear any of my kids say."

"God." Jay yelled and slammed his head into his hands. "I'd repressed that memory."

"What happened?" I cautiously asked.

"Well there was this one time Dick and Wally were fu-" Jay began to explain.

Bruce elbowed him. "She does not need to know. No one needs to know."

I looked at the two curiously. I wonder what Dick and Wally got up to.

That night before I lay into bed, I looked at the photograph on my locker. Siobhan, Sean, and I. We all looked so happy. It felt odd, this would be the first year I'd have a birthday without Sean, and the first in years without Siobhan. I grabbed the photo and lay into bed.

That Friday I was lying on my floor, texting Cassie. "Artemis seems crazy."

"She can be, thats why her and Jay get on so well. So it's your birthday Sunday. 🎉🎉🎉" She text me.

For a moment I wondered how she knew, then I remembered that it was on my Pixtagram account. "Yup."

"You doing anything for it?"

"Not a thing."

"No party?"

I wish. "Not much of a party person."

"Dick or Steph will through you one regardless."

"Bruce made Dick promise not to and I don't think Steph even knows."

"Wait you didnt tell them its your birthday?"

"Nope. Only Bruce, Alfred, and Kate knows and I'd  rather keep it that way."

"Okay, mind if I come around tommorow? We can just hang out or something to not celebrate you're birthday."

I giggled. "That'd be awesome."

"How's 12 sound?"

I yawned. "That'd be awesome. If it's alright, I'm going to go to bed."

"Goodnight Ashleigh. I'll text you in the morning."

"Night."

I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Cassie text me the next morning and we confirmed are meet up. A little after one Cassie arrived. We got to togetehr with a couple of the other kids and played video games and chatted for hours. Cassie had to leave in a bit so the two of us headed up to my room.

I sat down on my swivel chair and Cassie plopped onto the bed. "So any idea what Bruce is getting you for your birthday?"

"Nothing, I think."

"Nothing?"

"Well he asked me what I wanted but I couldn't think of anything else I could want"

"Maybe you could ask for a car and give it to me." She joked.

"You can fly though."

"It would be a tad questionable if I FLEW to school."

"Point taken."

"Speaking of gifts," Cassie pulled a wrapped box out of her bag. "Since I won't see you tomorrow."

"Cassie you didn't have to."

"I wanted to."

I took the box from her. "Thank you. Do I open it now?"

"I'd prefer if you did." Cassie said. "You can't imagine the amount of thought you have to put into getting a gift for the child of a billionaire."

"I'm not picky." I explained, then pulled off the wrapping paper. A photo frame. A blue frame surrounded by little clouds and bats. "Cassie, its adorable."

She smiled. "The clouds were already there but i stuck the bats on cause... you know."

"Yeah, I know." I smiled. "I love it."

"Well I seen that you had that photo by your bedside and thought you might use this frame for another. Maybe you could put like a picture of everyone in in it or something.

"I don't have a picture of everyone in the house together. That'd be nice."

"That's it!" She exclaimed.

I jumped. "That's what?"

"Your birthday gift. Ask Bruce for a picture of you all together."

"I'd love that but I'd have to blow on a hell of a lot of candles for that wish to come through."

Cassie laugh was interupted by a ding from her phone. She checked the phone. "Diana's outside, I've got to go."

"I'll walk you out."

We headed down to the entrance. Cassie opened the door and prepared to leave. "I guess I'll see you again Ashleigh." She said as she stepped out the door.

"Cassie."

She stopped and turned. "Yes?"

"If you aren't busy tommorow... maybe you like to come around."

She smiled. "I'd love to."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'll remember to bring those extra candles for the wish."

I laughed. "I'll need them."

"I won't forget." She promised. "I'll see you tommorow then."

"One other thing, when is your birthday?"

"Why?"

"So I can remember to get you that car."

She giggled and walked down the steps. I wonder if Bruce would actually let me buy her a car.

I got up early the next day and to my delight. No big deal seemed to be made of my birthday. Dick, Bruce, and Alfred wished me a Happy Birthday but that was it. Everyone else seemed clueless to it.

Around eleven Cassie arrived and her, Carrie, Harper, and I ended up in the den playing video games again.

About one Bruce dragged me out of the den. "What's up?" I asked him.

"Someones here to see you."

"Who?" I asked as we stepped out into the hall.

"Hey Ashleigh." Kate stood just inside the door. Arms open.

"Kate!" I hugged her. "I didn't know you were coming today."

"Thought I'd surprise you, considering it's your birthday." She ruffled my hair. "Happy Birthday, by the way."

"Thank you." I smiled. "How'd you know?"

"I always know."

"Bruce told you?"

She nodded. "Bruce told me."

"I felt it was necessary." Bruce added.

Kate held a box. "A little something."

"Thanks but you didn't have to."

"I know, Bruce said that. Which is why I distinctively ignored it."

Bruce scoffed. "I shouldn't be surprised."

Kate looked to Bruce then back to me. "I'll hold on to it for a little while."

"Sure." I looked to Bruce skeptically.

"Follow me." He said.

I followed Kate and Bruce towards the Dining room. "Where are we going?"

"I just want to say, that this was primarily Dicks idea." Bruce said.

Oh no. I already knew what this is. I put on a smile as we walked through the doors into the dining room. It was decorated to the nines with birthday banners and other colorful decorations. Sometimes I hate Dicks insistent to go over the top with everything.

"Happy Birthday!" Everyone yelled as I entered. I smiled at the large gathering of people. To say I was uncomfortable was an understatement. But just for a second. Before, when I had parties, it fwlt like a lot of the smiling faces were just that, smiling face, no genuine emotion behind them but not this time. This time the smiles held happiness, love. I could feel it

All the nervousness I should feel, melted away. I don't know of it was Kate's hand on my shoulder or the smiles of my family and Cassie.

I was quickly tugged to the table by Steph. In front of me sat a large chocolate cake. On it, there had to be about fifty candles. "I told you I wouldn't forget." Cassie smiled.

"Come on!" Dick shouted excitedly.

"Can't we just skip that part?" Jay moaned.

Dick ignored Jay's remark and burst into song. "Happy birthday to you!"

Dick was quickly joined by the others, even Jay mumblwd along. After the song was over, I blew out my candles. Downside of so many candles, took quite a few blows.

"So what'd you wish for?" Steph asked.

"She can't tell you, that ruins the wish." Dick said.

"I didn't wish for anything." I said. "I have everything I could ever need."

Damien scoffed. "Corny. You sound like Grayson."

Cassie nudged me. "Do it."

"Fine." I sighed. "I did wish for something."

"Anything." Bruce said.

"I wish for... a photo. Of all of us. Together."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

"That's doable." Bruce turned to the kids. Jay and Damien in particular. "Isn't it."

Jay sighed. "Just this once."

Damien scoffed. ""Yes, as Todd said."

"I shall get the camera." Alfred stated.

"No need I have one here." Steph said, handing a camera to Alfred. "I have been capturing every moment of this."

"At this point, I'm surprised you don't take pictures of us sleeping." Tim remarked.

"Maybe I do."

"I'm double checking the locks in my door tonight." Duke commented.

"I'll always find another way in."

"You are the creepiest blonde I've ever met." Jay said. "And thats not a low bar."

"But you love me for it."

Jay sighed. I turned to Alfred. "You're  not going to be in the photo?" I asked.

"Someone must take the photo."

"I can take it Alfie." Cassie said.

"I will allow you to take this photo, Miss Sandsmark, on one condition."

"What's that?"

"Never refer to me as Alfie ever again."

"Fiiine." Cassie snagged the camera. "Now go join them."

"Okay," Bruce said. "Tallest to the back."

Dick, Kate, Bruce, Alfred, and Jay stood at the back in that order. Damien, Babs, me, Harper, Carrie, Duke, Steph, and Cass stood in front.

Dick picked up Damien. "Let me go Grayson!"

"Chill out." Dick said as he placed Damien on his shoulders. "Don't want you cut out of the photo.

"This will suffice." Damien huffed, pretending to be upset.

Steph turned to Cass. "Pleaaase."

"Sure." Cass lifted Steph onto her shoulder.

Bruce smiled at his children and place an arm around Alfred. I felt Kate place her hand on my shoulder.

"Say cheese." Cassie said.

"Cheeese!" We all shouted as Cassie snapped the picture.

We all walked over to her. "How's it look?"

She through an arm around my neck. "Smile."

I looked at the camera in surprise as Cassie snapped a picture. "What was that about?" I asked as Cassie let go of me.

She shrugged. "You needed a photo of us."

She handed me the camera. I looked at the photo of us. Cassie looked perfect but I had a look of absolutely confusion plastered on my face. I smiled and looked at the family picture. Everyone looked perfect in it. Even Damien and Jay were smiling. The camera was quickly passed around everyone as they looked at the photo.

Afterwards we cut the cake. I could tell by the way that Cass and Steph watched me as I took the first slice, that they had baked it. "Best cake ever." I said after I took a bite. The two girls had huge grins plastered across their faces. The cake was quickly devoured by everyone.

A pile of gifts sat on the table from each of the Batfamily. I figured I'd open them later and we went to play party games. For a moment I thought they be boring but the look on Tim's face when the donkey tail ended up pinned to his back, courtesy of Steph, proved me wrong.

Eventually we all lay up and watched some movies. By eleven everyone was clearly knackered. I could barely even keep my eyes open. Carrie was sound asleep against Bruce and most of the others weren't far behind. I was almost asleep when I felt a small weight on my shoulder.

Cassie looked half asleep as she leaned against me. Maybe she was asleep, just with her eyes open. I couldn't tell.

"Is she asleep?" I heard a voice ask from behind me.

I looked over my shoudler. Diana stood in the open doorway. "Diana." Bruce slid out gently from under Carrie and stood up. "I didn't hear you come in."

"I knocked. I assure you." She said. "No one answered, so I let myself in."

"Sorry, Miss Prince, I was preoccupied." Alfred stated.

I hadn't even noticed Alfred in the armchair in the corner. Jay was curled up beside him and appeared to be sound asleep.

"No worries Alfred."

"You've come to pick up Carrie. I assume." Bruce said.

"Yes. I'd leave her here but I promised her mother I'd bring her home tonight."

"Of course."

I shook Cassie. "Wake up."

She looked up at me groggily. "Huh?"

"Diana."

She sat up straight and looked to Diana. "Oh hey."

"Time to go."

Cassie stood up and stretched. "Sure, I'll juat grab my bag, i think it's in the kitchen." She turned back to me. "See yah Ash, and Happy Birthday."

I smiled. "See yah."

Cassie and Diana left and I looked back at the TV. I didn't recognise the movie that was on. I didn't even know who picked it. Slowly I drifted off to sleep on the couch.
