Chapter Text
Well, it’d been a hard time on the road.
Sammy was an utter angel about it though. He and Jason had a hard couple weeks together eventually they had made it to an airport and just.. you know sneaked on with fake passports.
Well he went back to Gotham, that was a lie he went to metropolis and got an apartment and then started planning to go to Gotham.
“So sorry kid about everything, it’s gonna be fine eventually”
Sammy had just turned 5, and the cake was a bit lack luster but it had love baked into it.
Jason is horrible at cooking.
“Daddy? I like it” he smiles.
———
Sammy had grown up, he was still so small but well Sammy is still super cute. He has long blonde hair and a couple scars. He goes to school part time, and Jason usually hangs around to make sure he’s okay but metropolis is pretty damn safe compared to Gotham.
It’s a nice life, Sammy and him live a pretty humble life. He works hard at the local bar late and Sammy goes to school in the morning, it’s not much but it’s theirs.
———
At some point Jason finally figures out how to make Batman pay, how to make joker and Bruce pay for everything. Well Sammy was older he’s about 8 now and uh he thought why not? The kid has to come with.
So… let’s be crime lords.
Redhood and blue hood, yeah. It was weird, but the idea worked!
“Hey dad?”
Sammy said while rolling his heels and peering over at Jason’s plans
“Yeah sweetie?”
Sammy smiles
“Are we gonna fight the Batman?”
Jason laughs a bit
“Fuck yeah we are, I got big plans and you’re in on them! But you know all the training we’ve been doing?”
Sammy nods
“Well, I’m going to teach you a few more tricks. Some that will absolutely make the bat shit his pants I swear. And we are going to surprise grandpa aren’t we?”
Sammy smiles and nods furiously.
“YEAH!”
———
Well everything had gone mostly smoothly, until the bastard took his kid. Sammy can hold his own but he’s not exactly in the right position to. He got taken by fucking Bruce.
That’s what Jason got for letting Sammy be the master of his own life, yeah Bruce would never hurt him but also he fucking took him. God give him anything to fucking let him bare with this.
He sighs.
———
Bruce found a kid wondering about by his lonesome, the kid looked at him funny like there was a recognition there Bruce picked him up and was taking him to the police station kids like him were always trafficking cases.
The kid fought him for a bit then just lamented. Bruce took him in the Batmobile and the kid looked super amazed at all the gadgets.
“You know dad never told me to talk to you gramps. But hi I guess.”
Bruce sputtered for a second.
“What?”
The kid, blonde with braided tied up hair looked at him like he said a joke
“Uh, you know your my grandpa obviously. Me and dad have cool plans, we are so gonna kick your ass you know!”
Batman can’t even believe a word.
“Really? Dad talks about you all the time, he used to tell me stories about you! Uh what’s your name gramp’s it’s like Wayne something. So dumb, you should be something like archangel the bringer of vengeance! I don’t know”
The kid starts rambling.
“I don’t know who your dad is but my name isn’t Wayne”
The kid laughs
“Come on gramps! I’ve seen photos of you and dad, he was super happy uhhh it’s B something Wayne, I’m not good with names. I don’t even know dad’s first name actually.”
Batman just facepalmed.
“Please just, I don’t know you.”
the kid pouts
“Dad’s been trying to talk to you for years but he got caught up in a cult and raising me, he’s a good dad. He takes me to school and always hangs around so the assassins don’t come and steal me for ransom. Dad super doesn’t wanna go back to them.”
Assassins? Batman doesn’t know what to make of that.
“Kid I’m just going to drop you at the police station they’ll deal with you”
The kid pouts again
“But I wanted to meet uncle dick! I really wanted to, I heard he’s nice”
That took Bruce back, yeah everybody has guessed once or twice his name was Wayne they knew it had to be Wayne something so it’s not that weird for the kid to say it, but Dick’s name?
“Who told you that”
The kid laughed
“My dad? he’s probably super worried actually because I was supposed to be home by 3pm, and I’m not.”
Bruce just wants to lie down this is too much
“Kid do you know the whole secret”
“Uh obviously dad told me the whole thing, your B Wayne something. you adopted uncle dick, and my dad, then he went away. He found me in a hole somewhere and I slept under his bed for 4 years, and um? I don’t have a mom. And your Batman and uncle dick is nightwing!”
Bruce scowls, fuck the kid knows a lot. He must be from the LOA, it doesn’t make any sense his story but shit might as well take him home. Tim might know more about it since he had a couple stints with them.
——
Jason was going to beat Bruce’s face in if he even found a hair on Sammy astray. Why the fuck did he take his kid, why the fuck did he do anything Jason wondered.
Now he’s marching up to the manors door, full red hood garb. He wanted to do a super cool reveal when he got the joker! Now he has to throw a wrench in the bird cage with this.
He sighs and knocks on the door.
“Yo. Where the fuck is my kid. I know you have him if you so have TOUCHED a HAIR on his head I will make you sorry”
Alfred is utterly baffled and lets him in.
Sammy and Bruce are playing in the kitchen and Tim is questioning him about everything, Sammy is just happy to play dominoes.
“What the fuck man why did you take my kid”
Sammy looks at Jason and runs to hug him
“Dad!”
Jason grabs him and picks him up
“you have some big fucking nerve”
Bruce looks at the red hood a bit closer and remembers what Sammy said
“… Jason?”
Jason facepalms, and just shrugs.
“Fuck this, I had this big ass plan and schedule for it all it would have been so awesome and then you take my kid fuck you Bruce.”
Bruce tenses
“Jason, JASON???”
Jason sighs
“Yeah it fucking is me, wow low blow. I know I’m a father now and have been raising a kid but fuck you honestly.”
