Love Despite Imperfections

Tim Drake & Batmom Story! 

A/N: So this was formerly, ‘He Might Not Be Perfect, But She Loved Him Anyway’, but I thought the title could be changed to this, so I did! Enjoy! -Thorne <3

There were three words he never wanted to hear from her mouth. Three simple words, but three words that carried the weight of her judgement farther than any lesson Bruce could ever teach him. It’s partially what drove him to be the perfect son in her eyes, even though he knew she had no standard for perfect. Those three words came out of her mouth that night, and ever since then, he couldn’t stop replaying the scene in his mind.

Earlier Tonight:

           He stood beside Lucius, smiling and chatting to one of the corporate leaders from Metropolis. Negotiations had gone smoothly, and he’d scored Wayne Enterprises three new subsidiaries; it also gave them reason to throw the giant party they were at. He gave a final goodbye to the corporate leader and scanned the ballroom, looking for his parents; he found them a few seconds later, standing near the bar talking to Clark and Lois. He glanced at Lucius and spoke quietly. “I’m going to check on mom and dad.” Lucius nodded.

           “I’ll be here Tim.” He nodded and made his way over, occasionally stopping to say hello to the WE employees. Eventually, he walked up on the two couples; she was the first to notice, turning to him with a dazzling grin on her face.

           “Timmy.” He grinned at her as she reached over, pulling him into a hug. His arms wrapped around her waist and he squeezed lightly.

           “Hey mom.” She pulled back and reached up, cupping his cheek.

           “I’m so proud of you baby.” A soft pink tinged his cheeks and he shrugged.

           “It wasn’t anything super big mom. Just a few subsidiaries.” Her response was cut off by Bruce who rested a hand on the back of his neck.

           “Are you kidding me Tim? You literally brought in fifty million into the company, just by adding in these three subsidiaries.” He smiled lightly and glanced at Clark and Lois.

           “Mr. and Mrs. Kent. Good to see you.” Tim stuck out a hand, watching Clark take it with a smile.

           “You can call us Clark and Lois, Tim. It won’t hurt our feelings.” That brought out a chuckle from everyone and (Y/N) turned back to Tim.

           “Are you enjoying yourself?” Tim nodded and looked around.

🦇Batfamily & Friends🦇

Jason: I've told every medical personal- you can just give me the death certificate so I can fill it out. The only thing I need somebody to do is fill in the time of death.

Bruce: *who had to fill out the death certificate* Jason, no-

JL finding out bat secrets, but it's in the most simple ways.

Barry: how old do you think Robin is?

Oliver: you met him last week, he's like 12

Barry: yeah but like, he was 14-ish when we started the justice league

Hal: maybe he's an immortal vampire like batman

Nightwing: that's ridiculous

Hal: we have aliens and gods on this team. Why not vampires?!

Wally: can't be immortal if he was 14 then but 12 now

Barry: I've cracked it, there's more than one

Oliver: Your genius amazes and astounds

Barry: So the first Robin should be like 30 by now

Dick: WHAT

Dick: 30! IM 26

Dick now in crisis: I AM NOT THAT OLD YET

Barry: Hold on, wha-

*Wally silently laughing at Dick despite them being almost the same age*

Oliver: Were you Robin?!?!?!

Dick: I can't believe this betrayal! It's called mid 20's and you're no longer invited to Christmas Ollie!

Oliver: I was invited to your Christmas!?!

Wally: Well, not anymore you're not

Hal: Can I come?

Dick: that's up to Batman

Hal:...

Dick: Coward, this is why you aren't invited to family Christmas

Barry: YOURE RELATED TO BATMAN?!

Oliver: I WAS INVITED TO BATMANS FAMILY CHRISTMAS?!?!?!

Bruce high on pain meds lying on the couch

Jason: I’m gonna a straight answer here B-man. Who’s your favorite?

Bruce: Stephanie

Jason: What The Fuck?!?!

Dick: Jay he’s high as a fucking kite. Nothing he’s gonna say is gonna make sense.

Jason: Fuck that! I need answers

Jason: Bruce, why is Steph your favorite?

Bruce: Because she didn’t annoy me this week.

Tim: I want to say I’m surprised that he ranks us on who annoys him the least but at this point we all do it

Bruce: Your on the money number 5

Jason: Wait, B when was the last time I was your favorite?

Bruce: Three weeks ago when you didn’t kill anyone for 2 weeks. I was really proud.

Damian: Father who is usually the favorite?

Bruce: Cassandra is usually at the top and then Duke and Barbara are below her.

Jason: Who’s the least likely to be at the top?

Bruce: Tim.

Tim: What?!? Why?!??

Bruce: If you would stop with the constant conspiracy theories and caffeine addiction I wouldn’t have to be worried and less annoyed.

Brucie Wayne accidentally killing the joker

This happens before Red Hood is revealed as Jason, but after he shows up. Bruce is at a gala and has been very stressed lately, which is why he was so caught off guard with the Joker arriving. A big thing about today? It’s Jason’s adoption day anniversary. Bruce is barely clinging to being good.

However, Joker has a new laughing gas that he thought would make everyone fall into a catatonic state of laughter, striking a blow against all of Gotham’s elite.

That’s what he thought it would do.

Instead, it lowered inhibitions and increased their emotions. It also reduced their ability to think things through. Doing this to Bruce, who is stressed with Red Hood making moves and Justice League stuff getting more stressful and it being the anniversary of the day he could finally welcome his beautiful boy into the family, only to be face to face with the reason he lost his kid?

It only takes one comment about the old Robin for Bruce to go feral.

He isn’t thinking things through, isn’t focused on how hard he is hitting things, or where they are moving until he’s on a balcony with the Joker, and he’s distantly aware he’s been screaming about the clown having done enough-

Everyone watches, spellbound, as Brucie Wayne, under the influence of this new gas, pitches both the Joker and himself off the balcony, twenty stories above the ground.

Red Hood catches Brucie Wayne.

No one catches the Joker.

The morning papers scream about how the Joker died from Gotham’s prince being drugged, and how the city’s new crime lord kidnapped Brucie before he could die.

Everyone in Gotham is in disarray.

Dick is panicking after seeing the headline. (He was in Bludhaven.)

Tim is cursing himself. (He was home sick with the flu.)

Jason is struggling with his emotions.

Alfred is loading his shot gun.

[geeky-nightphilosopher]

Headcanon that all the batkids gained random traits from the Justice League.

Not just any random traits, traits that irritate Alfred.

Alfred, who has tried to train these kiddos with proper etiquette - only for that etiquette to be thrown out the window when they come back from the Watchtower.

Bruce, Jason, and Damian are the only three that have yet to be affected. Bruce because he's grown up with Alfred. Jason, because he's barely welcomed - and only if another bat is around - at the Watchtower. And Damian, because everyone is beneath him.

[geeky-nightphilosopher]

Dick who only tells Bruce when he's going somewhere

and the Batkids who all panic and don't know where he’s at and refuse to tell Bruce because they lost their big brother and they aren't telling him that no way he’d go crazy

so its just them banding together and scouring the Justice League and Gotham and Bludhaven

and then eventually dragging themselves back to the manor after like a week, defeated

Just to find Dick sitting in Bruce’s study, feet up on the desk, laughing as he tells his Dad about his trip and Bruce is nodding along and smiling

Then they spot the others and are like “hey guys!” and Bruce is like “whats been going on, haven't seen you around much?”

but he wasn't that worried because they still kept up appearances (didn't wanna be suspicious) and Jason is like

“where tf were you for the week?” and dick is like “i was in nevada??? For a case??? Did yall not know this???” and they're all like “noooo????” and dick is like “wtf i told bruce???”

and they're like…. “....Oh… we could've just asked.”

but anyway Dick who tells his dad his whereabouts at all times because its just habit but never bothers to inform his siblings.

*50 year old Dick Grayson time travels to the past*

Jason, on the floor, clutching his stomach, crying: im dying. death by laughter. here laughs jason todd-wayne

Dick: that’s. it.

Dick, inhaling:

Dick, screeching: DAAAAD!!!

*heavy footsteps*

*a crash*

Bruce, running in the room, panicked: what happened?

Dick, huffing: they’re bullyi-!

Future Dick, quietly: …dad?

Bruce, blinking: dick?

Future Dick, tearing up: dad!

Bruce, utterly baffled: dick???

Future Dick crashes into Bruce, desperately clinging to him. Dick’s heart sinks to the pit of his stomach.

Damian, fearfully, instantly understanding what the reaction meant: richard, get up. stop bothering baba.

Future Dick, clinging harder: dad…tati…

Jason, all amusement gone: stop playing around, dickhead.

Tim, teary-eyed: it’s not true…

Cass, shaking her head: no. no!

Bruce, slowly realizing what was happening, hugs Future Dick back: oh, sweetheart

Future Dick, sniffling: …dn’t you…

Bruce, rubbing his back while smiling reassuringly at his mourning children: im sorry baby, what was that?

Future Dick, lifting his head, sobbing: WHY DIDN’T YOU LET ME BUY MY OWN CIRCUS?!?!

Bruce:

Dick:

Jason:

Tim:

Cass:

Damian:

Future Dick, wailing, shaking Bruce: you’re rich! i’m rich! timmy’s richer! do you just nOT LOVE ME

Jason, hiccuping: im going to kill him

Damian, wiping his tears: i shall do it first.

Cass, eyes red: bald-head deserves death

Dick, about to commit suicide:

Tim, under Bruce’s arms, kicking a weeping Future Dick away:

Bruce, so done: death is my mercy

Batkids, as one: NO!

[geeky-nightphilosopher]

Dick waking up at 3 a.m. to a phone ringing loudly. The only night off he takes from Nightwing. He couldn't be grumpier.

Dick: What do you want? Money? A check? My soul?

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds.

Tim: Hiiii to my favorite older brother

Dick: Dfq did you do?

Tim: Ey it's not only me!

Jason: Hi dickie!

Dick remained silent, as he assimilated everything and fought against sleep.

Dick: where do I have to go to look for you?

1 hour later Dick is at the Gotham police station, taking his brothers out while scolding them like never before (mostly for wake him up).

[geeky-nightphilosopher]

Big bro Damian, I love you

(Someone was mean to Dick at a gala)

Ko-Fi

[geeky-nightphilosopher]

When Jon comes over to the manor, he brings Kryto so that Titus has somebody to play with.

Damian spoils Kryto to the point where Bruce can't get rid of him until Jon, Kon, Lois, and/ or Clark come to get him. Which is rough because then they don't leave.
