Summary
"Uhm...Robin?"
“What are you doing here?!” Jason blurted out, trying to stay calm.
“I take photographs,” the boy said, showing him the camera and the teenager tried, unsuccessfully, not to scream. It failed miserably.
"Photo? Are you out here at night for this? You should be at home!"
He should be in his room in Wayne Manor, oblivious to his family's affairs, while they all kept the town safe.
They weren't doing a good job: Batman was missing Robin was alone, and he had to convince Tim to come home without giving anything away!What the fuck!

Summary
"Bruce, I made a friend!"
“That's wonderful, buddy,” Bruce said, as he examined the documents he had on the kitchen counter.
The coffee was now cold in front of him, but sooner or later Bruce will drink it, if only as an involuntary gesture.
“He's amazing,” Tim continued, excited.
“Mhm mmhm…”
“He is really smart. “
“Mmmhm…”
“He doesn't think I'm weird. Well, maybe a little, but he likes that I'm different! Just like him!”
“Mhmhm…”
“And he's also a clone of Superman! But he's cooler! ”
“Wonderful…Wait, he is what?!”

Summary
“I can't sleep. Can you read it to me?”
“Don't you want me to find your father?” Bruce tried, hoping to get out of that situation.
“Why?”
“Well, he is your dad.”
The kid just shrugged, “He is busy. When he's busy, I can't disturb him. You're not doing anything. You can read to make me sleep.”
He was incredibly articulate for someone his age. And he had clear ideas.
Bruce wouldn't have made it out with his dignity intact, would he?“I don't think it's appropriate…”
“Why?”
“Because I'm a stranger,” Bruce tried to tell him.
“But you are not a stranger. You are Bruce.”

Summary
“What would you think about a little brother?”
Jason blinked. Bruce ran a hand over his face.
Clark really didn't want to let it go, huh? He was about to intervene when his son blurted out, “You got Bruce pregnant?!”"No!" Bruce immediately exclaimed. “Jason, we're both men.”
“Hey, he's an alien. How do I know how it works! Oh god, Dickhead is going to go crazy…”
"Nobody's pregnant," Bruce sighed, suddenly feeling very old. “We met a kid tonight and Clark thinks I should take him in.”
“Let me guess… he has black hair.”
“Yes,” Clark replied.
"Blue eyes?" Jason asked again.
“Yes.”
“Traumatized and weirdo?”
Clark thought about it before saying, “I'm not sure if he's traumatized, but he's definitely a…peculiar kid. He follows Batman to take photos to put on his Tumblr blog… ”
“He's definitely a weirdo,” Jason concluded. - There's nothing to do. You have a type, Bruce.”

Riddle this for me by Speechless_since_1998

Summary
“...don't be too sorry, I'm sure that after your tragic death, Batman will find someone worthy of…”
The Riddler didn't finish his sentence: he was hit by a stone on the head.
The person responsible was a small child – seriously, he was tiny, Jason could have picked him up and put him in a pocket – with a camera around his neck.
He had his face scrunched up in disgust and shouted, "He's a great Robin! You're just jealous!”

Summary
“You are quite far from home. Did your parents accompany you?”
“No, I took the train.”
"The train? Alone?"
“With who else?” he asked, as if the slow one was Dick
“Look, maybe I should call someone…”
"No! I have to show you my PowerPoint first!”
Dick raised an eyebrow, “A PowerPoint?”
The boy nodded, quickly took a tablet from his backpack and turned it on. He showed Dick the screen: in bright colours and with rather professional graphics (what were they teaching the children now?) In the centre were the words GOTHAM NEEDS ROBIN MORE THAN BATMAN – A PRESENTATION OF TIMOTHY DRAKE.

Summary
He felt two strong hands on his shoulders, and found himself with Bruce's face a few centimeters from his. The man had a hint of a beard and bloodshot eyes.
“Does the child in question have black hair?”
“Yeah.”
"Blue eyes?"
“Yes.”
“Is he wearing a black t-shirt with a huge S?”
"Yay! Rao, Bruce. Have you seen him?"
A long pause, then Bruce decided to speak, "He's here."
“What?”
“He's eating Alfred's pancakes upstairs right now. He was very angry,” he added, giving him a sideways glance. Honestly? He deserved it.
“How did he get here? I never revealed your identity to him,” Clark said, confused.
“He kidnapped my stalker and I found them making the Riddler cry. Edward chose to go to Akrham rather than have to deal with them.”

Surprise sibiling by Speechless_since_1998

Summary
“She is an exceptional warrior. She's fine,” the child said. Who knows how much he really believed it or how much it was a lie so as not to think the worst.
So. Small child injured and alone in Gotham, with no one to rely on except Tim himself, and a mother who was missing and probably dead.
Now, a person with common sense would call the police. They weren't great, but at least Commissioner Gordon was good – not to mention he was Batgirl's father! – and he would definitely protect the child from evil ninjas.
However, Tim didn't have any common sense.

Let go and just be free, I will love you unconditionally by Speechless_since_1998

16 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
“If I can free you from the contract, you can take me with you to the human world. You have to take me with you, otherwise I won't help you."
“Do you think I would leave you behind?”
“You just said you thought I was fae. There is no solid basis for trust,” the child snorted. “I have nothing against you, I know you're a hero and all. But it's better to be foresight."
Bruce nodded. It made perfect sense to him.
“I'll take you with me…”
“You must swear by your real name,” the kid interrupted. “Names have power here. Even if you're not fae. Swear that you will take me back, and I will help you. “
“You ask a lot of me.”
“Your secret identity is the least of your problems right now, don't you think?”
That was a great point.
[A few months after Jason's death, Bruce is kidnapped to marry the Unseelie Queen. In a court full of vipers, his only ally is a child he can't help but grow fond of]

Summary
“What the fuck is this kiddo?”
“Holy water,” the child murmured.
Jason raised an eyebrow, “Holy water? Do you think Bruce is a vampire?”
If it weren't so absurd, he would laugh. Eh, a Batman wasn't that different from a vampire, right?
The kid shook his head, “No, not Mr. Wayne. The man who is with him.”
“Clark?”
“The vampire,” the other corrected him. “I know what it is, and he's hurting Mr. Wayne. “
(At nine years old, Tim Drake is a genius who has discovered the identities of Batman and Robin. But he remains a child, and when he sees marks on Mr. Wayne's neck, he arrives at the only possible solution for him: Batman is a victim of a vampire.)

I found a brother in the trash by Speechless_since_1998

21 Jan 2024
Tags
Summary
“Alfred, remember when you said I needed friends my own age, not to be boring like Bruce, and to live my own life?”
He didn't like the tone Master Dick was using. Alfred knew that tone very well, and had learned that it was the prelude to trouble.
He put down the rag he was using to clean up, and asked, "Do you finally have a friend who isn't a vigilante?"
The smile that the young master made was bright – trouble, big trouble – and he took a few steps to the side, showing Alfred a boy perhaps around seven years old, very thin and with sunken eyes, who was looking at him with distrust.
“No, better. I found a little brother!"

Summary
“Miss Gordon? What are you doing out in this weather?”
“The Drake heater's broken,” she stammered, sniffling. “I tried to tell them there was a problem, but they didn't listen to me. I tried my best, but today it's so cold, and Tim has a high fever, there's no medicine, I don't know what to do and..."
“Barbara?” a familiar voice interrupted her. Dick was immediately next to Alfred, and his eyes widened at the sight of Tim, "That's..."
“Yes, it's Tim Drake. He is sick. Do you want us to stay outside the door or can we come in?” she blurted out, irritated.
--Barbara believed that working for a wealthy Bristol couple was an easy job that wouldn't stop her from being Batgirl at night, despite her father's wishes. She hadn't reckoned with the Drakes.

Clark somehow managed to pout, despite his beard covering half his face, “Don't be a Grinch. The kids will love it.”
"The kids?"
“I know Dick is a teenager but the others are still at the age in which one believes in Santa Claus. It would be nice for them to receive gifts directly from Santa Claus himself."
Bruce felt his heart warm, "You didn't have to do that."
"I know. But I wanted to.”

“You're brooding,” Bruce croaked.
“I'm not brooding! I'm just curious."
“Keep your curiosity at bay until the train arrives.”
“Bruce, it's late.”
“I saw the timetables. It will arrive."
Clark he clenched his fists. What had Talia al Ghoul done to deserve so much devotion?
“If you wanted to find her, I could transport you on the moving train. She seems to enjoy seeing you suddenly swoop in,” he huffed contritely.
Bruce shook his head, looking amused, “He's already very skittish. He would have been capable of throwing himself off a moving train to avoid getting caught."
"He?"
Bruce opened his mouth, but what he said was, "The train is here."

Summary
They went down the stairs and into the kitchen. There they found a battlefield, with eggshells everywhere and black smoke above their heads.
Tim gulped, "Did Killer Croc stop by?"
"No, dumbass. It's just Bruce trying to cook."
"Huh?"
He heard someone cough, and Bruce came out from behind the counter, wearing a worn MCR T-shirt and his face smeared with flour. As soon as he saw them, he said, "Why are you awake?"
"Dunno old man, maybe it's because the kitchen is on fire."
It's Tim's first Halloween with the Waynes, and Bruce tries to make the boy feel like part of the family. Burning down the kitchen and almost giving Alfred a heart attack.

Summary
There was an explosion, and the sound of breaking dishes. Dick feared an attack or attempted kidnapping. The noises came from the kitchen, where Alfred was standing.
He rushed over, pulling out his escrima sticks, ignoring Bruce yelling at him, "Wait! Dick!"
Hell, he didn't take orders from Bruce. Not anymore. When he got to the kitchen, what he found was… well… there were shards of glass and ceramic on the floor, and burn marks on the table, but there weren't any killer ninjas like he'd thought.
Instead there was Alfred, picking up the pieces with a broom, and two children, perhaps eight, maximum ten years old.
One was holding the other's hand, saying, "Hey, it's okay. I'm nervous in the mornings without coffee, too."
"What the hell."

Summary
"Young master..."
Alfred knew this would happen. He felt it in his old bones, a sixth sense that it had never failed him.
Jason was too much like Bruce. It was logical that it would happen.
But couldn't he at least be sixteen? Was Alfred asking too much?
The boy in question didn't seem guilty in the slightest. He lifted the child with him by the scruff of the neck, "This is Tim. He is a stalker."
"I'm not a stalker!" the child protested, trying to wriggle free but Jason's grip was much stronger.
Oh, Dear God. Not again.

Dick said, "I'm taking you to Mount Justice now, but you won't tell B that you saw me kiss Wally."
Tim nodded seriously, "I don't even have to tell Alfred?"
The older opened his mouth to respond, but quickly closed it again. Did he really believe he could hide something from the old butler? Not in a million years!
"You know what, maybe he already knows. Better not to say anything."
