Three’s the Magic Number

Bruce Wayne x Reader

From: Batman: The Brave and the Bold because that show is so underrated. Loosely based off 02x08: A Bat Divided.

Summary: Coming home to three clones of your husband only made your already terrible day weirder than you expected it to be.

Tags: Fluff, Humor, Slight Hurt/Comfort, Mentions of violence, a little bit suggestive? Do not take this fanfic seriously diwkdkekddke.

WC: 2k+ words

A/n: This is my favorite version of Batman so I’m gonna have lots of fun writing this lmao.

“That’s it! I quit, Mister Ross. I’m not putting up with your arrogant attitude any longer!” You shouted in frustration before slamming your badge onto his large desk. You felt victorious hearing your shitty boss sputter out pathetic excuses to make you stay, but you weren’t having any of it. You weren’t some doormat he could just walk all over. ‘Typical men,’ you mused before slamming the door on his face.

While you drove back home, you tried your best to play some tunes in order to calm your mind down. First, you slammed your toe against the table leg. Then, you weren’t able to eat breakfast or drink any coffee since you were already late for work. If that wasn’t already hard enough, the traffic jam was horrendous due to your husband’s superhero friends destroying the road. Again. Now, you just fired yourself from a good paying job. Could this day get any worse?

You found yourself calming down when thinking about your husband. You smiled to yourself. Your lovely husband. He was effortlessly charming and surprisingly hilarious. He was a leader in every aspect, as you saw in his interactions with Dick and the other superheroes. You were proud of Bruce in every single way. You could only hope that when you got home and told him about your horrible day, he would dote on you like you deserved to be doted on.

There was no way you could’ve expected what you were about to encounter soon.

Entering the batcave with a drag in your step, you searched for your husband. “Darling?” You called out longingly, aching to rest your head against his sturdy chest. You could hear several deep voices arguing passionately with each other. You furrowed your brows in confusion. It wasn’t often your husband brought guests to the batcave, so this case must be important. You decided to walk up to the chaotic scene, wanting to know what was going on. When you approached the other people in the cave, you froze in your place. You weren’t sure what you were expecting to see, but it was definitely not this.

“Bruce…?” You whispered hesitantly, unsure of what to make of the scene in front of you. All three men turned around to look at you in confusion. “Yes?” They replied in unison. All three looked at each other at the same time after speaking before looking back to observe you. You had a look of shock painted on your face as one of them stepped towards you. You backed up one step out of fear, unsure of his motivations. He stayed silent before he tilted his head to the side. “(Y/n)? I was not expecting you to come home so soon. According to your weekly schedule that I’ve managed to memorize in my free time, you were supposed to leave work and arrive home around seven p.m.,” he stated in a matter-of-fact tone. Your face contorted more in confusion. What the hell is he talking about? He sounded so scientific when he spoke. You had no time to respond to him when a more physically fit Bruce strode to you and swiftly pulled you close to his chest. You had originally wanted your husband to do this earlier, but now you were too weirded out to properly relish in it. “Hey sexy,” he purred out seductively before kissing you passionately. You barely had time to kiss him back before he gently pushed you against one of the pillars, leaning down to completely ravish your neck. It took everything within you not to let a soft moan slip from your mouth as you gripped onto his arms. “B-Baby,” you stuttered out breathlessly. Though it was strange, this wasn’t too bad of a predicament. You’ve always wanted Bruce to be more passionate anyways. The two others watched from behind, the scientific one awkwardly fidgeting and the other one flashing you a goofy smile. Your gaze faltered when your husband lifted his lips from your neck, satisfied at the line of hickeys he managed to make. Your cheeks heated in embarrassment, mentally groaning at the fact that you were going to go through the extra effort of hiding them for the next few days. His eyes shined with passion and flirtation, his large hands wandering all over your body. “Do you wanna ditch these two and have a little fun? You look like you need your wonderful hubby to treat you like royalty,” he suggested seductively. Though the offer was incredibly tempting, you knew that now was not the time to indulge in your secret fantasies. Luckily, the scientific one spoke for your thoughts.

“Batman, focus. We can’t get distracted by our partner, no matter how…” he trailed off as you could hear his breath hitch. “tempting it is to participate in something other than putting ourselves back together,” he murmured, his voice dropping lower at his rising excitement. God, helping these three to set things back to normal is going to be torture now that they expressed their desires towards you. The one close to your body licked his lips and leaned up to kiss your cheek lovingly. “Come with us, gorgeous. You can sit on my lap while we let other me do all the work,” he said with a cheeky wink to you. You became flustered in his arms, but followed the three to the large computer. You could make out the other Batman’s complaints about how he ‘always does all the work’ while you walked over to the third Bruce. You haven’t been able to get to know him yet. You were surprised to see a handful of chips in his hands when he turned around. He flashed his goofy smile at you and you couldn’t help but melt at the sight. Bruce always had such a cute smile and you were glad that one of the Bruces still had it. This one seemed to be the more sensitive one. “Hey gorgeous,” he greeted with a lazy shrug. You reached up to cup his cheek while he ate a cheesy chip greedily. “I assume you’re the personality Batman without the trauma?” You deduced. His eyes lit up at your conclusion and laughed heartily. “Correct! Did I ever mention that I love how smart you are? You were always smarter than me, babe,” he complimented before leaning in to press a messy kiss to your cheek. He dusted some crumbs off your cheek affectionately and made your way towards the others. While you watched him set up a hammock to relax in, you walked up to the scientific Bruce.

“So what the hell happened to you guys?” You asked curiously. He looked at you and let out a heavy sigh. “Well, we were trying to stop Dr. Ecks from causing a nuclear meltdown in order to make his evil double more powerful, but we weren’t able to,” he said while pushing some buttons from the computer. “The nuclear meltdown caused us to split into three personalities and combined two other people into a singular man with the nuclear power Dr. Ecks originally wanted.” You nodded in understanding, looking over at your passionate husband doing push-ups. You let out an irritated sigh. “So, where is that super-powered being you were talking about?” He pointed towards the artifacts wing. “Over there. I’m letting them take a break while I run some DNA tests from their trials he talks to himself, most likely with the other person he was combined with, but we interestingly cannot hear or see the person. He looks like he’s talking to himself, really,” he deduced before getting to work in computing data. You sighed loudly and rubbed your face tiredly. You really wanted to just go upstairs and cuddle with your husband, but now you had to help him solve this case. Great, another inconvenience to add to your already terrible day. Not wanting to piss yourself off more with such thoughts, you leaned in to press a kiss to his cheek softly. “Okay, I’ll help you compute data and figure out what’s going on. Time is surely running out before Dr. Ecks can somehow find another way to make himself more powerful than your superhero friend and all three of you.” The kiss caused him to freeze in place. You watched him slowly form a blush from the corners of his cheeks under his mask. It’s good to know that even the scientific Bruce can still become flustered in your presence.

Together, you continued to figure out ways to use his friend’s powers to help bring the three personalities back together when your husband finally found a solution. From the corner of your eye, you saw the passionate personality gear up near the batmobile. You made your way over to him to ask what he was up to. He was immersed in preparing for a fight when he felt a gentle hand on his arm. He turned around and when he saw you standing behind him, his eyes widened in surprise. Already knowing what you were going to say to him, he turned back around grumpily and continued to gear up. “Don’t try to stop me, (y/n). I need to kick every last one of those criminal scums into prison so Gotham city can sleep in peace at last.” You hummed in disapproval and turned him around to rest your hand on his chest. He let out a small groan at the feeling and looked at you with desire. That look was something you were familiar with, a gaze he gave you when you’ve wanted to touch you in ways that were too inappropriate to think about right now. He decided to ignore your touch and walked forward to caress your cheek. “Please, baby. I want to do this because I wanna protect you,” he begged quietly. Unable to say no to him, you turned your head to kiss the palm of his glove. “Okay. Go. I’ll tell the others to catch up and help you out.” He was about to protest, most likely to tell you that he could handle it himself until you flashed him a dangerously irritated glare. You didn’t have time to argue with him today and you were already hanging on by a thread with only the hope that this predicament could be fixed as soon as possible. “Go. Before I change my mind,” you hissed out before storming off.

After your outburst, you decided that it was your final straw. You needed to go upstairs and let off some steam. You only stopped by the lab to inform the others about passionate Batman’s whereabouts before heading towards the elevators. The sympathetic Batman looked at you worriedly, but hurriedly left the batcave to follow scientific Batman.

When you finally heard the bedroom door open, it was late into the evening. You’ve already showered and tucked yourself into bed for the night when he came in. He saw your laying form, your back turned to him. Immediately, a wave of guilt hit him. You radiated an aura of anger and extreme frustration from everything you had to go through today. After he reflected on how he vowed to make an effort to make you feel better.

He started his night routine and speeded through it as quickly as possible so he could join his partner in bed. When he finally changed into pajamas, he practically dove into the bed, immediately hugging you close. He turned you around and pressed a flurry of kisses all over your grumpy face. “Thank you for putting up with me today. It must be overwhelming to deal with three of me, I’m sure,” he murmured quietly against your cheek. You had to admit, it was good to see your husband all whole again. Though you were admittedly going to miss his three personalities, the way he kissed you now and doted on you was more fulfilling than any emotions you felt today. You teared up and let out all your frustrations from today. From the moment you woke up to now, you recounted to him everything that happened that made you finally snap. Though he was always a tease, now wasn’t the time to tease you in an attempt to make you smile. Instead, he showed a more solemn expression and listened to you carefully.

After you finished speaking, he cupped your cheek and leaned down to kiss your forehead lovingly. “I’m sorry that happened, love. I may be back to the way I was before, but my love and passion that I only have for you has and never will change. I hope that my displays of affection tonight are enough to bring the beautiful smile back on your face that I very much adore,” he spoke lovingly, poking your cheek with a chuckle. You smiled at his words and giggled from the poke. This was the Bruce you fell in love with; a selfless man who would go through hell time and time again in order to make sure you were safe and happy. If you had learned anything from his three personalities, it was how much Bruce loved you. He loved you wholeheartedly; loved you with his body, mind, and soul. As you kissed him once more, you were grateful for the unique opportunity to experience your husband’s shenanigans every single day, even today’s opportunity to experience all the amusing interactions his three personalities had with you and each other. Though it was a strange experience, it still managed to miraculously put a smile on your face today. After all, three is the magic number.
