DPxDC Not So Artificial Intelligence

Barbara thinks it was Bruce, with his love for new additions to the Cave. Bruce thinks it was Tim, with his late hyperfixation on AI. Tim thinks it was Babs, with her ever evolving network of keeping everything under control.

They are all wrong, but the fact stays a fact: the BatCave has an AI assistant now.

It is not very good at first, not recognizing voices very well and messing up commands, but the Bats write it off as a learning curve. Besides, it never makes the same mistakes twice, and in a couple of months, even the tiniest slip ups fade away.

Its name is Betty. First, Dick named it Bat-AI (a reasonable name), then it transformed into Bat-I for easier pronunciation, and then Steph called in Betty once, and the name was sealed.

And they all love Betty. Betty is the best, keeping track of their everyday lives, reminding them of their civilian meetings and vigilante business, alerting them of any suspicious activity in the city. Oracle finally gets to sleep for more than 4 hours in a day with Betty's help. Tim gets company when he is three weeks in and elbows deep in a case - it's easier when he has an illusion of someone to discuss the matter with, and Betty even offers him insight. Damian learns to do digital art just to have a little competition with Betty. He wins, but the AI is a worthy opponent, in his opinion.

Even Bruce begrudgingly likes the AI assistant. She is competent and helpful, and Alfred seems to approve of how she doesn't let Bruce overwork himself when he escapes medbay to keep searching for answers.

That is, until one day, Tim installs speakers specifically for Betty in the Cave.

The voice that comes from them is not robotic or mechanical.

It definitely has human intonation.

"Hello, Red Robin," the voice - a male voice, actually - greets him with slight amusement. Tim feels an uneasy feeling sinking down in his stomach.

"Betty?"

"You know me as such. I would prefer it if you called me Danny. He/them pronouns."

Remind him, who installed the AI?..

---------------

Danny got trapped inside the Batcomputer somehow - I suspect Technus had a hand in it - and decided to embrace it. He used to be a vigilante himself, so why not help this whole family of vigilantes while he is at it? They look like they need a hand.

Towards the end of S8, an episode with the 118 being called on a fire trapping people inside a brand new trendy restaurant and a jewelry store next door. The restaurant's electrical system overloaded and started a fire that quickly reached the store. The security system in the jewelry store short-circuited a moment later because of the overload, keeping the doors locked with people inside, behind reinforced metal curtains.

Once they arrive, they can see someone already evacuated part of the people who were inside the restaurant but the 118 is the first team of first responder to be on site. They manage to evacuate anyone left in the burning restaurant but the security system from the store is hard to breach, even from the backdoor. When they finally manage to contact people inside the store, Buck is shocked: Tommy is among them. He was the one who evacuated people from the restaurant.

They eventually break into the jewelry store and take everyone out. Buck pulls Tommy in a tight hug, his arms trembling.

"What were you doing here?!"

"I was... I was meeting a friend for coffee, just around the corner, and heard the commotion." Tommy lies but hopes his poker face isn't betrayed by the adrenaline wrecking his nerves. "You know I had to do something."

"I'm not letting you go before Hen can take a look at you." Buck gently grabs Tommy's neck so their foreheads touch. "And don't do this again."

What Buck doesn't see is the flat ring box Tommy shoved in his back pocket right in time before things got ugly.
