Given To Protect

Summary: Bruce meets his youngest at a club.

Two-Face was sitting at a table drinking with Bruce when a body dropped onto his lap.

Wayne blinked as Harvey looked down and raised a brow. “Thought you were waiting near the bar for Jase?”

“I was. Some asshole decided to take his chances when Marcus was getting our drinks,” the young girl pouted, “He's taking care of him and Jase is getting rid of the bitch who spiked my drink when we had our backs turned.”

“Excuse me? They tried to what?” Two-Face growled, tightening his grip on his companion.

“Spike my drink. Jase said to join you two and to introduce myself to daddy.”

Turning to face Bruce, the girl grinned at him; two gaps in her smile front and center. “Hi daddy. I’m Amaryllis, Jase saved me.”

Bruce just blinked at the young girl. A groan was heard before Jason plopped down beside his father, a man following him. “When I said introduce yourself I didn’t mean that way.”

Amaryllis just grinned at her brother. Jason shook his head even as he smiled back before introducing his sister and companion better. “B meet Amaryllis, my baby sister, and Marcus, her guard. Mary was about to be hurt when I met her. Marcus is part of Uncle Harvey’s men.”

“Mary is the reason why I asked to meet you tonight.” Harvey told his best friend.

“You want me to take Mary home.” Bruce deduced.

“Yes,” Harvey replied, “I also need to transfer Marcus over to Wayne Enterprises so he can still guard Mary.”

Bruce agreed and the two men started to hash out the details with input from

When Bruce finally stepped out of the club, it was with a new daughter and employee.

Jason walked beside his dad, carrying Amaryllis as Marcus brought up the rear.

They would go home, after dropping Marcus off, where Damian would declare Mary as his, making Dick pout even as he cradled Mary, refusing to let his siblings and father hold her.

(Alfred would put his foot down when Mary was carried everywhere and gossip started about the youngest Wayne being disabled.

(Which she wasn’t but her siblings and father carrying her didn’t help the rumors.

Not that it stopped them.)

Even going to therapy in other cities might not have helped. I’m reading a fic where Bruce and the boys go to therapy in Metropolis and it helps but they also still are going out and about.

Granted, the boys are near the same age and were in foster care before meeting Bruce but still…

Therapy for the family is them going out and beating up Rogues and criminals I think.

I think Bruce Wayne is a loving parent, but not a good one. He is a psychologically tormented person who never got over his trauma or developed any healthy coping mechanisms but he just keeps ending up with them and doesn’t really know what to do with them.

Like Dick’s parents die right in front of him and Bruce is just “hey kid, my parents died in front of me to. And you know what helped me? Punching bad guys.”

And Jason? He finds this kid stealing his tires and he’s not afraid of Batman. He doesn’t seem afraid of anything. He’s got a big heart and cares a lot about people, but no one cares about him. So he goes “hey kid, you seem lost. You know what helps me when I’m feeling lost? Punching bad guys.”

With tim it’s a little more complicated. Bc this kid showed up at his front door and put him in a corner (tim saved him) and Bruce went, “hey kid, you seem pretty good at this. I do encourage you to find a different extracurricular activity… but yes, you can punch bad guys with me.”

And with Damian it’s even more complicated but in simplest terms Bruce and Dick look at Damian and go, “hey kid, you seem like you have some issues and a weird moral compass. Do you know what makes me feel better? Punching bad guys.”

Like shit bruce I’m no expert but maybe some talk therapy or grief counselling might help. you cant just "punch your bad guys to cope with your feelings" your way out of this one

[batfsm]

I hate she’s always portrayed as a sibling when I know she isn’t. She uses Bruce’s money but so do Barbara and other Batfam members. That doesn’t mean they are siblings.

She’s also portrayed (that I’ve seen) as the worst Robin and I blame that on DC themselves.

I’ve seen where she’s portrayed as the best Batgirl, even over Cass and Barbara. So who knows.

All I know is that DC Comics: Hate female Robins.

i think if you hate stephanie brown then you have darkness in your soul and i don’t wanna be around that

Upset/Change

Summary: An upset brings change.

Chapter 1

Summary:

Bart is not having a good day.

Chapter Text

Bart kicked a stone as he stomped past a couple of houses.

“Bart?” A voice had him stopping in his track before he could kick another stone.

Looking up the teenager smiled sheepishly at the adult standing at the end of their driveway. “Hi.”

“You okay? You’re not your usual self. You didn’t notice anyone when you usually do.” The adult asked in concern.

Bart opened his mouth to say everything was fine but instead snapped it shirt and shook his head. “No, I’m not okay. I feel angry and upset.”

“Do you want to keep walking or do you want to come in and talk about it?”

Bart thought about it and then asked to come in but not talk about anything just yet. The adult agreed and they stepped into the house.

That move brought its own change.

Chapter 2

Summary:

Bart has a talk.

Chapter Text

Bart plopped down onto the couch and groaned.

Chuckling at the teen, the adult handed him a can of soda. “Here. You look like you could use the energy.”

“Thanks Ma.”

“You know people look at us both weirdly when you call me that, right?” The woman spoke as she sat across from Bart in her lazy boy.

“Compared to the rest of my family, you treat me like your son. Wish I was yours sometimes.” Bart told her before turning quiet again.

The woman turned on the TV and started up Teen Wolf for the noise.

Picking up her current book ‘James’ by Percival Everett Ma started to read.

Bart turned off the TV and waited until Ma had put the book down before speaking.

“I don’t think Max wants me living with him anymore.”

“Why?”

“He seems pissed whenever I come back and is arguing more with gramps and Pa. I never hear anything because they all shush when I come into view, Max walks into another room to finish the call, or hangs up. When I tried asking thwy changed the subject or got mad and said I didn’t need to know.”

“So you brought up what was happening but they ignored your concerns.” Ma summed up.

Bart nodded. “Pa and gramps don’t want me here. I get the impression they want me to go back to the future but I can’t. I have no future to go back to. I changed it to much. For the good mostly but it still changed.”

“Have you tried going to your other family members? Seeing how they feel about you being here?” Ma asked gently.

Bart stilled and glanced at her and then the ground. “No…yes,” he muttered, “But they don’t know that I’m part of the family. They think I’m just a friend of theirs.”

Ma sighed. “Bart, you need to tell them your concerns. You need to tell everyone your concerns. You can’t keep it boiled up inside you. One day it will come out and it will be a bad explosion. I don’t think anyone wants that, especially you.”

“I can’t Ma. Who’s going to believe me?” Bart bitterly pointed out.

“I do,” Ma sternly replied, “Your family, both sides, will also. But you need to speak up. It won’t be pretty when it does explode.”

Bart pouted but at a glare from Ma, nodded.

But only if she came with him; to which she agreed to do so.

She didn’t realize more change would come with that agreement.

Change that shocked both family sides.

Chapter 3

Summary:

Lex get told off/yelled at.

Chapter Text

Bart yanked on Ma’s arm who let out a yelp, making him drop it as he turned to her in panic.

“I’m sorry! I just wanted you to move out of the way and with all the noise…”Bart started to babble but a hand covered his mouth.

Ma moved her hand once she knew Bart had shut his mouth. “It’s fine. I know you didn’t mean it, you just surprised me. Now what is with all the noise?”

“Luthor is being a brat again because Kon isn’t talking to him. So to get Kon talking to him again he decided to attack Smallville. The noise is everyone running as the Supes take care of the the robots.”

Ma groaned and to Bart’s shock turned back towards the fight.

Ignoring the shouts from Bart and others, Ma stomped up to the main robot answer crossed her arms. “Alexander Luthor! Stop this nonsense right now!”

Time seemed to still as everyone held their breaths.

The robot opened up and Luthor came down to the ground. “What?” He groused.

“You are in so much trouble,” Ma told the man with a glare, “Stop hurting people because your son won’t talk to you. Actually talk to him.”

“He won’t talk to me.” Lex whined.

“Make him!” Ma roared, surprising everyone, “You’re his parent, make him listen!”

Lex pouted. “You know it doesn’t work that way anymore.”

“Well it should. It works on Talia and Bart so it should work on Kon.” Ma growled, crossing her arms.

Lex pouted at her more but when Ma didn’t react, he agreed.

That conversation broke the world.

Chapter 4

Summary:

Supervillains love Ma.

Chapter Text

Kon swooped down and picked up Ma who groaned as he flew her out of the way of a raging Gorilla Grodd.

“Why are the supervillains all coming for me?” She sighed; already knowing the answer.

“Because you get them and they want to possess you, keep you, get you in their ase and only their side.” Kon answered dutifully.

Ma groaned again as the Flashes finally out Grodd down. “If I had known that my help would have me be a celebrity in a way I wouldn’t have been so helpful.”

“You would have, just quieter.” Bart snarked as the family joined the duo.

“Quieter for sure.” Ma agreed.

More Than Told

Summary: More is taken from the League Of Assassins than told….At first.

Chapter Summary: Tim and Pru don’t leave a base alone.

Muttering a curse under her breath, the woman quickly moved back to where the others were waiting.

Placing a finger to her lips, the woman had them moving quickly and quietly.

The group came to a duo fighting and the woman joined the fight, after making the others hide.

Prudence Wood paled when she saw the woman. “You’re not supposed to be here.” She hissed frantically.

“I’m taking the chance,” the woman spoke just as softly, “The girls are starting to get looks. I can’t keep pretending the boys don’t exist anymore. Please, take them away.

“All of them.”

“Come with us.” Pru pleaded as the children slipped out of hiding and into sight.

The woman shook her head. “Someone needs to distract them.”

“It doesn’t have to be you.” Scarlet Tanager spoke even as he took the youngest from a girl that looked Robin’s age and like him.

“It will always be me.” The woman answered before she disappeared; a whispered ‘I love you all’ the last word they heard.

Pru and Scarlet exchanged glances but soon had the group of children moving.

They had all just cleared the gate when a scream erupted from the base behind them.

The younger children had no clue who had screamed but the older ones and two teenagers did.

Tears rose to the oldest girls and boy face but didn’t fall as they all disappeared into the desert.

No one found them.

More Than Told 2

Chapter Summary: Tim heard the screams as he fell.

Tim felt the window burst and heard the screams as he fell out it.

He frantically tries to grab something to hold but couldn’t.

A body catching his had Tim blinking at Batman in surprise.

“You okay Robin?” The voice was full of concern.

“I…I need to get back up there.” Was Tim’s only answer.

Batman looked like he wanted to say something but instead got them back up to the apartment.

Tim took one look and threw himself in front of the children, including Robin who stood in front of them; sword pointed at his grandfather.

Ra’s glared. “Move detective. My grandchildren need to learn.”

“No. Touch them and I will kill you for good and take pleasure doing so.” Tim held his stance.

Batman, Hood, and Orphan joined him; Batman giving Ra’s his own glare.

“Back the fuck away before I decide to take care of you for baby bird.” Hood spoke instead of Batman.

Ra’s went to speak again but a deep growl stopped him. “If you want to make it out of Gotham alive and well I suggest you listen to my son and leave my children alone; NOW!”

Everyone turned to see another Batman.

More Than Told 3

Chapter Summary: Ra’s is cornered into leaving the children alone.

Batman stalked forward and slipped in front of his children. Superman and Wonder Woman followed him; Green Arrow, Lantern, and Aquaman spreading out beside them.

Ra’s noticed a breeze but couldn’t say anything because Flash joined the group beside Green Lantern.

Batman never said another word to Ra’s as the man was grabbed and escorted from the building. (He also wasn’t surprised at all to hear that Hawkgirl and Captain Marvel had been overwhelmed by the League of Assassins and Ra’s got away when they had been escorting Ra’s to jail.)

Instead he joined his children and gave them all hugs before being introduced to his youngest along with the rest.

Ra’s would try one last time to get his grandchildren back but when his personal Lazarus Pit, one he thought no one knew about, not even his children, was taken out of commission, the mostly immortal man backed off.

He would die for good two years later when he couldn’t make it to a pit.

Only one Lazarus Pit would be left in the world, watched constantly by the Justice League, and only used for the direst of emergencies.

And where was that Lazarus Pit was located?

Gotham City.

End Notes: I wanted to do a very AU fic of Bruce being dead and Tim looking for him. Instead I got the above.

The children taken out away by Pru and Tim are Helena, Athanasia, Respawn, Terry, Matt, Saif, Taj, Janan, and Mara.

Bat Family 'Bruce is Tim's Biological Parent' AU Idea #3

The couple that Talia secretly adopted the baby she faked a miscarriage with at the end of Batman: Son of the Demon were Jack and Janet Drake.

None of those involved know that Tim is Bruce and Talia’s biological child.

A couple years after giving up Tim (whose adopted name she never knew), Talia encounters Bruce again and the sparks fly, same as always. She ends up pregnant again (maybe he needs to make/carry bat-condoms?) but this time, Bruce doesn’t stick around so he doesn’t know. Maybe it's because he doesn’t know; maybe Ra’s is insistent that Talia stay safe so not to lose this baby; maybe Ra’s knows she hid the previous baby from him and keeps her under watch this time; maybe Talia just doesn’t have it in her to give up another child; in any case, she keeps Damian and does her best to raise and protect him.

Tim has Talia’s hair, cheekbones, lips, eye shape, and more lithe build. He has Bruce’s skin tone. He has Martha Wayne’s ears and eye color. He has Ra's jawline and Thomas Wayne's eyebrows.

Damian has Bruce’s hair, cheekbones, jawline, brow line, and more muscular build. He has Talia’s skin tone, eye color, and eye shape. He has Thomas Wayne’s lips and eyebrows. He has Ra’s ears.

They don’t look like brothers unless you know enough about both sides of the family to see the connections. No one really does, so the connection isn’t made.

Until one day, when Damian is going through a box of photos in Tim’s room and sees a photo of a dark haired baby with a necklace he’s seen in photos before. It was his mother’s, and before that, his grandmother's. His mother said it was a family heirloom that went missing a few years before Damian was born.

Damian takes the photo to Tim to demand to know about it.

A very confused Tim answers that it’s a photo of him as an infant.

Damian demands to know about the necklace.

“Oh, that? It's pretty cool, huh? It was a parting gift from my birth mother. I still have it in a safety deposit box my mom set up for me.”

“Your birth mother?”

“Yeah, I was adopted…before Bruce adopted me. When I was born.”

“Who were your parents?!”

“You mean my birth parents? I don’t know. It was a private adoption and my parents never encouraged me to ask about it."

"And you never checked after they died?!"

"No...? Why would I? And why do you care?”

Damian refuses to answer but demands a copy of the photo. He secretly sends it to Talia.

She realizes that, somehow, against all odds, her boys have found each other. They’re with their father. They’re safe (relatively speaking) and being cared for. In a perfect world, she would have been able to keep both and raise them alongside her beloved, but in the world she lives in, this is better than she ever dared hope for.

Heaven help Ra’s the next time he makes a move against any of her children (she has totally mentally adopted Jason and Dick & Cass are technically her step-children, so…the whole family is basically under her protection now, even if they don’t realize it yet).

[batfsm]

May I present a character I would love to see return for Tim Drake's stories?

Annie. Child of the Silver Age Clayface by technicality of she gained her own identity and sentience.

Let him have this guys

[batfsm]

In my headcanon Dick has done this for all his brothers when they were Robin.

Dick only got to do it once with Jaybin so he starts doing it with Tim every chance he gets.

When Jason comes back home Dick does it once and had Gotham in shock that Nightwing can carry a man Red Hood’s size. (Jokes on them, Dick used to carry Bruce all the time as Robin when Batman would get hurt protecting him. At least back to the Batmobile.)

He does the same to Cass and Duke.

If Dick could he carry all his siblings every single day, whether civilians or vigilantes.

(He learned that from Bruce who actually does carry his children day and night. Gotham City is never surprised to see Brucie cart his second son over his shoulders and Batman carry Signal, Red Robin, and Robin when Signal joined them the one night.)

sex pollen is an integral part of the fanfiction ecosystem but i just don't think poison ivy would make anything that encourages procreation of even more humans. unless she figures out how to make the sex pollen same-sex specific or fertility-negating she's not making it at all. #philosophical

It's been a while since I've posted on here. I've gone through a whole rebrand and everything lol. Anyhow, have a Batman with his BatBabies.

Fandom Problem #10,256:

It’s real funny how people these days are literally turning the “found family” troupe into the “nuclear family” troupe as a means to deem ships (mainly wlm ships) as “siblings”, but the minute when it comes to wlw/mlm ships, they’re not siblings regardless of the circumstances (such as having the same parental figures growing up etc). And if you don’t ship them, then people will automatically assume you’re Homophobic or cancel you 🙃
