   Summary

   Bruce is so strung out on grief, caffeine, and self-loathing after his encounter with Jason and the Joker that he (sort of) accidentally gets himself kidnapped by a magical item. He finds himself stranded in another universe where he is small, his kids are overworked, he has the personification of Gotham on his back about some mad scientists, and his alternate self is suspiciously absent.

   note: not abandoned! I'm just fighting with my outline right now...
