Part two of Mother Knows Best would be When You Know You Know. And actually the series has three installments in this order:
Father Knows Best
All fathers are protective of their little girls even when they are all grown up. When your father finds out you are dating the son of Batman he and your sister try to separate you.
Mother Knows Best
After finally gaining your fatherās approval to date Damian a new problem arises. His mother, Talia, also finds out and she is not pleased.
When You Know You Know
You donāt know how to feel about Damian anymore,
I was working on a fourth before I went on this long hiatus that would be a conclusion to the three.
Hi! I donāt know if youāre active anymore on your blog, but I was wondering if you planned to continue the ā mother knows bestā fic and make another part. I recently stumbled upon your blog and I am in love with your writing!
Hello I'm glad you like my writing ^^ I'm not really active but I'm still here occassionally. A lot of people have been asking me about that series. I do have a draft for the 4th installment... I just haven't sat down and dedicated myself to it but I'll try and set some time aside to write it.
I dont want my blog to look abandoned so I'll do my best to post soon ^^
After finally getting your children to sleep you closed your eyes for a second only to open them immediately when you heard light footsteps on the roof. You sat up silently to listen when the noise spread to all sides of the house. Instinct kicked in, your hand swiftly patted down the sides of Jasonās mattress. When you felt the familiarĀ shape of a knife you smiled thinking how predictable he was.Ā
Jay whined as he felt your movement out of the bed.Ā āMa-ā
Your hand quickly went to silence your young weary son.Ā āShhh...ā your finger rested upon your own lips momentarily before tapping your daughter and waking her as well.Ā āJay take your sister and find a spot to hide,ā you whispered.
They did not question you or wait for a comforting kiss goodbye. Their lives revolved around stealth and survival, they knew the risks that came with being a Wayne.Ā
You were surrounded by a dead silence yet you could feel the presence of about a dozen or so people. There was only a select group of people who could make you feel that way. Knowing what you were up against put you at peace. You slid the knife into your sleeve and stepped out to face your mother.Ā
āWhat are you doing here?ā
Talia smirked,Ā āHello my child.ā She was pleased to see you once more. After all that waiting around for an opening, she finally managed to get you away from the manor and your father.Ā
āI will not ask again.ā
āI am here to see my grandchildren.ā
In the blink of an eye, you drew the knife you had hidden. There was no way in hell you would let her near your children.
āYour grandfather was so pleased to hear the Al Ghul bloodline runs strongly.ā
āThey are not Al Ghul-ā
āBlood runs deep my beloved daughter. No matter how much you try to deny it, you, your brother, and your children have Al Ghul blood coursing through your veins- as do I.ā She held her hand out, palm up. āDo not run from your family, from your power, from your legacy.ā Talia knew you would turn her down. Bruce had taught you well and although she could try brainwashing you once more she knew you would be better prepared to break out of it.Ā
āAfter all...āĀ Instead, she wanted to weaken you to the point where you would lose to your instincts. She wanted to light that murderous fire she instilled you with many years ago.Ā ā...we are the reason Jason lives.ā
The weight of her word made it hard to breathe. āWhat-ā
āJason is stronger than before thanks to the Lazarus Pit and me.ā
āYou?ā Your stance faltered as you were almost afraid to continue. āWhat did you do?ā
āWhat didnāt we do.ā
Your eyes widened at the implied meaning of those words. Her sly smirk and shifting of her weight from one of her hips to the other sickened you. This woman in front of you was your mother yet she- The thought made you sick to your stomach. Your jaw clenched tight unable to hold your tongue.Ā
āJason was my boyfriend!ā
āWas,ā she pointed out the past tense of the word. āThanks to me, Jason has become the man he is now. Stronger, faster... alive.ā
āSilence!ā Thatās it, thatās all it took for you to throw your knife directly at her head. A shot you would have never taken in your right of mind. Of course, the league stepped in and deflected your attack sending the knife back your way.Ā
You caught the knife and ran straight at them with murderous intent.
āThis is my daughter,ā Talia smiled as you took the entire league on. Her sights turned to the safe house where she knew you had hidden away your children.
Inside Jay and Jas had already begun reaching for one of the gunsĀ They were not the type to heed warnings of danger and sit on the sidelines quietly. The creak of the front door caught their attention.
āJas stay behind me.ā
āAs if,ā the young girl pushed past her brother.Ā āYou got the helmet, I get to lead.ā
āTt, fine.ā
She gave him a worried look when he took a good look at the gun in his hands and pushed something that made a metallic click. Her brother had never fired anything other than a Nerf gun so she wondered what he was doing.Ā
āJay be careful.ā
āWorry about yourself,ā the hot-headed boy warned. He had seen enough movies to know how a gun worked.
Jasmine gave a curt nod before opening the bedroom door, only enough so she could stick her small hand out and toss the combat knife. It did not go far, the heavy handle was not meant for throwing like a dagger but it distracted Talia. When she turned Jas jumped out immediately going for a sweep kick at the intruder.
Talia jumped making the girl miss.Ā āYou dare strike your own grandmother?ā
Jas had not seen that coming, she panicked and was unable to get back up.
Jay came to his sisterās aid, aiming the handgun at Talia when she got closer to her. āDonāt touch my sister.ā
āHow valiant of you my grandson,ā Talia smiled with admiration at what was the new generation of Al Ghul blood. Her eyes then went to Jasmine who only now had gotten up.Ā āThat you would think of striking me is equally commendable, however...ā Talia easily knocked the gun out of Jayās hand, āyou both lack the necessary skills.ā
The twins silently mulled over Taliaās words with a scowl each.
āMy- you all take after my beloved.ā She knelt down in front of them eyeing the result of your relationships with Jason. Despite what anyone said Talia had love in her heart. It was a strange twisted one that based itself on different principles but she did indeed love.Ā
āJason and Jasmine...ā she called to them with a hint of fondness to her voice.
āHow-ā the twins simultaneously wished to ask how she knew their names but were silenced by her hand caressing their cheeks. Her eyes brought a sense of familiarity that made it easier for them to believe she was truly their familiar.
āI will continue to watch over you and return when it is time for you to meet Raās al Ghul.ā
The noise outside began to die down prompting Jason to ask for you.Ā āWhat are you doing to our mother?āĀ
When she did not respond he tried for the door.
Talia stopped him, holding him by the shoulder.Ā āShe is continuing the training she started many years ago.āĀ
The strained relationship between the two of you had kept her from them. One day she knew she would be able to instill them with the same lessons she had taught you and Damian.
But today was not that day.
+++
Jason walked ahead of Bruce eager to see you. His steps came to a halt when Talia emerged from the safe-house Jas and Jay at her side.
āWhat are you doing here?!ā
She ignored him and instead looked past him to Bruce who was just as eager to find out what she was doing there. He had a bad feeling when you didnāt seem to follow them.
āHello Beloved.ā
āBatman-ā Jas wanted to run up to her grandfather but was held back by her grandmotherās hold on her shoulder.
āPatience my dear.ā Talia needed time for the League to retreat far enough that no one would be able to interfere. She would successfully bring back her daughter to fulfill Rasā wishes.Ā
Jay made no attempt to move nor did he call out for help. He managed to hide his anger and fear well while his eyes roamed the surrounding area for any sight of his mother.Ā
āDonāt you dare harm them!ā Jason took a step towards them but Bruce held him back knowing very well they had to hear Talia out. She held all the cards at the moment.
āI do not wish to harm them.ā As proof, she let go of Jas allowing her to go ahead and seek her grandfather. The sight of the young girl slightly hiding behind the cowl was heartwarming.Ā āShe runs to you just like her...ā
Her obviously being you- her first born daughter.
āAs soon as she knew of your existence I stood no chance of confining her.ā
Feeling ignored Jason once again questioned her.Ā āWhere is Y/N?ā
Now Talia turned her attention towards him.Ā āWho would you chose, given the choice between your son and your beloved.ā
It was a hard decision but nonetheless, Jason knew his childrenās safety was to take priority.Ā āMy son.ā
āGo to your father,āĀ Talia smiled releasing a confused Jay. Her smile was then directed to the two adults who eyed her every move.Ā āParents must always side with their children even when the children do not side with us.ā
With the children safe Bruce finally confronted Talia.Ā āWhere is she?ā
āShe is where she belongs.ā Having done no wrong for Batman to pursue her, Talia simply turned to leave.Ā
āAre you just going to let her go?ā Jason asked incredulously.
Of course Bruce was not satisfied with the answer but he knew he could find his daughter if he simply searched all of Raās al Ghulās known properties. He had found her once before, he could find her again. But for now he had more important matters to attend to.
He eyed his grandchildren who seemed to hold up well yet behind those stoic faces laid worries and unrest.
āFor now we must go.āĀ
Jason was relieved his children were fine but he could not rest now that he was so close to recovering you.
āI canāt just go like this.āĀ
He ran to Talia grabbing at her arm only to be thrown on to his back with a loud thud.Ā Jason quickly recovered and began fighting with the woman who saved his life.
As they fought Jas finally found her voice and asked what had been on her and her brotherās mind.Ā āIs he really our father?ā
Bruce silently confirmed with a nod.
The moment was interrupted by Damian as he arrived after having gotten word from Bruce. He was immediately being held down by Jas who desperately needed comfort. She knew neither Wayne would openly offer affection when in their suit but she was a confused child at the moment. All she wanted was to feel safe.
āUncle Dami- mother... and then- father.ā
Her words were unclear as she spoke through tears, her small face hidden in Damianās chest after he picked her up. He figured it had to be something bad to bring her to tears. When Jas kept mutteringĀ āmotherā Damian looked for answers.
āWhere is Y/N?ā He began to panic when all he saw was his mother and Jason fighting in the distance. Bruceās silence didnāt help either. He became far more desperate in his questioning, āWhere is my sister?!ā
Bruce didnāt know for sure but he guessed this time around Raās would hide you well if he went through the trouble of using Jason to get to you.
āWeāll find her,ā Bruce assured him.
Jay kicked at a nearby rock sending it flying. He hated the fact that his mother was taken. He felt an urge to grow up so he could do more than stay back and protect Jas. He wanted to protect you too.
Talia dodged one final time before settling a few paces away from the agitated Jason. He was certainly keeping her on her toes but he was not her match today. It was all the emotions clouding his mind, she was sure of it. He never even drew his weapons.
āI advise you not to seek her out- even if you were to find her I doubt she would talk to you... I made sure of that.ā
"What did you do,ā Jason worried knowing Talia wasnāt above using his moment of weakness against him.Ā
His accusatory tone was not appreciated. Talia got close enough to whisper words only audible to him,Ā āit is notĀ what I did but what we did together.ā
Jason swung his fists at her again but she easily dodged the emotionally distraught Jason. Before he could get another chance she was walking away, not even taking a second look back at him.
After securing the children in the Batmobile Bruce was going to stop Jason from going after Talia. She would never lead them to you. But Damian held his father back.Ā
āIāll deal with him father.ā He looked at his niece and nephew who clung to each other as they shared a seat. They needed to feel safe, they needed to go home and be around people they trust.
Bruce didnāt fully trust Damian to handle Jason but at the moment he knew his priorities were the children and their mother so he left it up to Damian to make Jason realize what Talia was trying to do.
As soon as his father was gone, Damian grabbed Jasonās shoulder to stop him from going after Talia. He turned him around and put all his strength into his fist as it impacted Jasonās chin.
āYOU MOTHER F*CKER!ā
Damian had been able to pick up what his mother whispered to Jason. It was already bad enough that he had gone after his sister but now Talia too.Ā āHow dare you appear before my sister again after what you did.ā
Jason groaned wiping the blood from his lip.Ā āItās not what you think-ā
āSave your excuses for someone who cares Todd.ā Damian began observing the area in hopes of finding any useful leads as to where you were taken but all the footprints seemed to lead in different directions.Ā
āI already thought very little of you but now you are even below Drake.ā
The closer he looked the more he realized there wasnāt a single footprint belonging to you. The League had done their job, they got rid of all evidence that you were there and purposely left their footprints to taunt them. It would be much more difficult this time around to locate you.
He looked back at Jason who sat with a guilty look on his face. He resembled a wounded puppy who had no idea what to do or where to go. Taking into consideration that they would need all the help they could get, Damian set aside his personal feelings.Ā
Ā āDonāt just sit there like the worthless person you are Todd and help me find my sister.ā For better or worse Jason was the father of his niece and nephew.Ā āIf you canāt find the mother of your children then you arenāt fit to call yourself a father in this lifetime.ā
+++
Back at the manor.
The kids looked at each other with confusion and curiosity before little Jason decided to point out the obvious. āAll of you said father was dead. Dead people canāt just come back to life.āĀ
Jas nodded in agreement and looked to her grandfather for an explanation.
Tim and Dick looked expectantly at Bruce wondering if he would fully explain the situation to the kids.Ā
āThere is a man named Raās al Ghul...ā Bruce began.
Dickās jaw dropped, āIs he really going to tell them the truth?ā
Tim knew the bat family history was intense but these kids were Wayne by blood.Ā āAt this point what else can he tell them?ā
The two listened but kept their eyes on the screens in front of them. They were trying to locate you using all the available resources. They were scouring through video surveillance and sending notice of your disappearance to the justice league. They were essential in finding you the last time you were being controlled by Talia.Ā
Jasmine and Jason were no less closer to understanding what was going on with their mother and the man who they now knew to be their father but they were now less confused.
Just in time too.Ā
Jason and Damian walked in keeping a distance from each other.
āUncle Dami~ā Jas ran to hug him.
Jay stayed put by his grandfatherās side as he eyed Jason.Ā
-end-
Continue??? I know itās been a while ^^Ā Are you all still interested in a part 4?
A/N: Iām a fan of Batman x Talia instead of Batman x Selina. Thatās why I hated the fact that they had Jason and Talia sleep together in Lost Days. So then I went ahead and wrote this and now you know how the fic got itās name LOL
A/N: Okay, first things first. This is a spin-off of the āOur Futureā fanfic written by @becausewerebatfam who thanks again for giving me permission to write it <3. If you didnāt read it, I donāt know what are you waiting for, GO. No seriously, go read it, itās awesome; also you need to read it first to understand what I wrote.
Second, I never wrote something like this and it hurt me, so if it hurts you too that means I did a good job (? I tried to describe everything the better I could, so hope you enjoy my attempt of violence.
Warnings: Violence, swearing, 1 suggestive joke, whatever you can expect from a Jason fic. Oh and horrible English and writing, as usual.
Words count: Around 5000 (I realized I love writing kind of long stuff)
Read Our Future first, I donāt know what are you doing here if you didnāt read it first!!!!
I loved it! I hope everyone who read my fic reads this because it's just a beautiful addition. I will link this on my master list once I get on my computer. Really just well done ^^
This is the first time someone writes a spin-off of my fics and honestly I love it ā”ā”ā”
Hi yesterday I read Our Future again and I wanted to ask you if I could write like a spin-off of the story, of my verison of reader dying, Jason's coma and how James deals with things before and after the time travel? Obviously giving you credit of the original story and the link of the fic in the post. If you don't want me to write it, it's ok, thank you for your time and for your amazing writing ā¤ļøā¤ļø
OMG! YES! Write it! Please tag me, I would LOOOOVE to read it ^^ I'm so glad you liked it to the point where you want to write a spin-off.

According to Bleeding Cool, DC is making an update to their timeline. I really like how they have broken down each time period into a generation. 5G will debut in 2020 and will supposedly change everything. Based on the information provided, here are some facts regarding The Batfamily.
Generation 1 spanned 25 years
Generation 2 spanned 15 years
Generation 3 spanned 15 years
Generation 4 spanned 5 years
*some information is currently missing from the timeline, so amendments may be necessary.Ā Itās unclear (1) How long Cass was Batgirl, (2) When Steph debuted as Spoiler, (3) When Steph stopped being Robin & Tim reclaimed the mantle, (4) If Steph was Batgirl, (5) How long Jason was Robin, (6) When Jason was resurrected, (7) When Duke or Helena debuted
Alfred has worked for The Wayne family for approximately 46 years (Gen1 Yr14)
Thomas and Martha died 2 years after Alfred was hired.Ā They have been dead for approximately 44 years (Gen1 Yr16)

Selina has been Catwoman for approximately 34 years (Gen2 Yr2)
Dick became Robin 2 years after Bruce became Batman (Gen2 Yr3)
Dick forms the Teen Titans 3 years after he becomes Robin (Gen2 Yr6)
Dick has been Nightwing for approximately 21 years (Gen2 Yr15).Ā He would have been Robin for approximately 12 years (Gen2 Yr3-Gen2 Yr15). Dick is Batman for less than a year (Gen4 Yr1). He has been a vigilante for 33 years

Based on this new timeline, the Batfamily will be significantly older in 5G. Dick should be around 42-43 in this new timeline.
Listen up DC, my dude, letās pretend Rebirth never happened. Hereās the planĀ :
This entire Rebirth thing ? It was a simulation Bruce was running on his computer to try and guess all the different ways he couldāve end up, ok ? Like trying to make up sims with certain variations to know his possible alternate universe selves, just in case any of them, for whatever reasons decides to invade his homeworld and he has to fight himself. Given how paranoid he can be, it totally makes sense.Ā Right ?
So our new DC era starts with the kids and Bruce watching the last of Rebirth unfold, and thereās an awkward silence, and Jason says : āYour computer blows, no way any of this would ever happen. As if you could punch me without breaking your weak little women piano player hands hahahahahaā. Shenanigans about how this entireĀ āRebirth planetā is dumb ensues. How the Bruce in it isnāt remotely likeĀ ātheir Bruceā. Endless jokes aboutĀ āRicā, which really embarrasses Dick but hey, at least he knows heĀ ācanāt rock a bald headā and oh my God he never realized howĀ āugly he could be in a certain lightā¦wearing clothes he stole from a chav who somehow ended up in the USā.
Bonuses :
Jason : āNo way Iād ever drop my leather jacket for aā¦vest *shivers*ā.
Dick, an hour later, still not over this entire āRicā bullshitĀ : āā¦Ric ? Without a k ? So I have nothing to do with "Dickā ? ā¦ā¦..*talks directly to the computer* AM I A JOKE TO YOU ?!ā
Tim : "Brown isnāt my color. And Bruceā¦Bruce would never punch me.ā
Damian : āFather would never let any of this happen. I would never let any of this happen.ā (he didnāt finally found a real family (no matter how it can sometimes be dysfunctional) just to loose it and be left fending for himself like that).Ā Ā
Cass : āā¦I. Wasnāt there much. When rest of family gathered.ā
Dick : āProbably why everything was so messed up haha !āĀ
Bruce, after a few minutes of silence : āā¦I mustāve messed something up in the algorithm. Tim, chum, a little help to fix it please ?ā and then you can be sure heāll grumble for ages about how heĀ isnāt dumb like that guy from that godforsakenĀ āRebirth Universeā, and as if heād be that much of a jerk ! Thereās limits, he can be an asshole, sure, but not to that extent (and thereās many proof of it)ā¦and just general brooding about what he was over there.Ā
Alfred, after a long over-exagerated sigh :Ā āFinally, someone has put me out of my miseryā¦ā Sentence which gets him a lot of dirty looks from the fam (fighting with their urge to hug their beloved butler, most definitely a CORNER STONE of the family that cannot be remove or everything collapses).Ā
PS : This is a joke post, nothing to take too seriously. I was just thinking of how much I canāt wait for Rebirth to be retconned, and how I wish itād forever be erased from the Batfam timeline (knowing full well it wonāt, but, ya know what I mean right ? Itās just so bad and boring and it feels like it was written by someone who thinks theyāre amazing and so edgy and wow so new to kill off certain characters and to turn Batman into a stupid brute and ābat cat bat cat bat cat bat catā andĀ āBrUce wAYne cANāt bE bATmAn If hEāS haPPyā and general awfulnessā¦Wonder who that writer is *huge eye roll*.).Ā
