Can you do a fic where the batboys seeing batdad do a pokemon contest performance for the first time in real life? Batdad used to be a top pokemon coordinator and sorta quietly stopped being a coordinator because of Bruce disappearing and the whole family of vigilantes and having to take care Wanye Enterprise. Now that the batboys are adults and (mostly) stop vigilante-ing, batdad decided to re-debut.
Bruce, of course, leads the family down the red carpet.
He's so very proud of his husband. He has always felt a little guilty about the fact that you had to take an early retirement from your Coordinator career to run Wayne Enterprises and watch over the family after he came back.
But now you're back in full form, and the press is on fire, calling it "The Return of the King" and other such dramatic claims.
You were known for the powerful combination of your Lucario and Gardevoir - a glorious display of simple martial prowess combined with psychic illusions and effects.
But there's been a surprising development.
Instead of Lucario, you've registered with Gardevoir and Cubone.
The very same Cubone you raised from an egg.
People are intrigued, knowing you're bringing something completely new, but totally unable to keep from speculating.
"B, did you ever go to one of Pops' shows?" Dick asks. He, Bruce, Tim, and Barbara head down the carpet - Jason and Damian and the others have sought out a more discreet entrance.
"I did, once, before I left for training. It was... beautiful. He actually pulled me onstage and kissed me in public for the first time, after the performance. Honestly, I can't recall much about that show, but I remember the cologne he wore that night." Bruce sighs happily.
Tim rolls his eyes. "Some help you are. I still don't know what we're going to see tonight."
"I sent you a whole file of Contest performances last month to get you up to speed!" Barbara protests. "Do you... mute the group chat?"
"It's just not as fun now that it's... just a normal family chat."
Dick laughs. "I don't think we're that normal, Timmy."
They do a few short sound bites for the press, making it clear that tonight they are here for you. And backstage, Jason and Damian have come to give you good luck hugs.
"Awwww, my baby boys." You chuckle.
"Papa, are you sure you'll be alright that Brown and Cain and the Rows and Thomas won't-"
"Don't remind him of that!" Jason growls. "He doesn't need-"
"It'll be fine. Alfred's watching them all, and I don't blame them for avoiding the press. It doesn't mean they aren't with me." You smile. "Plus, I know Tim will be recording it for them."
Jason hugs you. "Go get em, Dad."
You smile softly, then look down to Damian. "Dami? You alright?"
Damian gives you a little shaky smile. "I suppose I'm just... excited, is all. To see you perform."
"Me too, kiddo. Go find your seats, okay? I want you to make sure you stick by your dad. You know he gets anxious when you're all out in public."
As they head back, you don the classic hat and tailored suit you were known for as a young Coordinator, adjusted and updated for the man you are now.
And you walk out on stage to thunderous applause from the audience - the loudest cheers from your family. The other Coordinators flourish on their entrance, throwing their Pokeballs into the air wildly, but you simply open your hands and let them exit. A little shy to debut, Cubone tries to hide behind you, but Gardevoir lifts the little thing up with psychic power into your arms for a quick cuddle, making the audience "awwww."
Eventually the show continues, each Coordinator doing their set, leaving you for last. Which definitely sets them on edge, you can tell.
But you're here because you wanna show the world that you didn't lose yourself all those years ago.
You start out cross-legged on the stage, sitting down. Cubone cuddles in your lap before tumbling out, seemingly eager to show you something.
The audience gives a little chuckle at the orchestrated adorable tumble.
Cubone withdraws a large bone and begins to slowly swing it around, twirling it like a baton. And when it tosses the bone into the air, it... lifts.
And then another, and another. Seven bones float in a large oval, continuing to revolve faster and faster as they spin across the stage.
The spotlight darkens, as light fractures behind you both - the stage becoming a prismatic field of light. Gardevoir appears, floating in the middle of the circle of spinning bones.
Cubone gives an excited cry and hurls a Bonemerang and one by one the bones break open in bursts of glitter powder, which swirl and swirl like a nebula forming into a planetary ring.
Gardevoir twirls in midair, the center of the nebula, and sends the shining rainbow powder running down to the stage-
-only for Cubone to use Icy Wind to freeze the powder in midair, making a beautiful mix of rainbow and snow, in an intricate swirl as Gardevoir manipulates the crystal formation.
As a grand finale, Gardevoir levitates Cubone into the center of a globe formed of ice and glitter, only for it to use Earth Power, bursting out in green and gold light, dissolving the ice and sending the glitter drifting like stardust across the audience.
There's a moment of stunned silence. And then in a great wave, the audience stands, and as they applaud, you see your husband practically glowing with pride and awe.
Of course, you win the Contest, and you hold your Cubone close in reward. The press calls it the greatest Contest Comeback of all time, but you're too busy watching your family gently praise your shy little Cubone and elegant Gardevoir.
And your husband never leaves your side the rest of the night.
Pls give me son damian and bruce father&son headcanons
-Bruce initially tries to find things for them to do together so they can bond and spend more one on one time with each other, so he turns to Alfred for suggestions
-at first they try out fishing (because that’s what dads and sons do right?) and Damian gets upset about putting a hook through a worm and then through a fish’s mouth because how traumatic for those poor creatures (plus they both get bored just sitting on a boat in the middle of a pond)
-they end up finding that they both enjoy stargazing and so on nights that they don’t have patrol, they go to out to their yard, lay out a blanket and try to find all of the constellations they can, then look up the stories behind each of them
-because of this, Bruce takes Damian up to the Watchtower so he can see the stars and the planet in a new perspective (Damian doesn’t act like he’s super excited, but he’s internally geeking out)
-Bruce has trouble saying no to Damian when he makes this face where his eyes get all wide and he’s got this cute little smile and Damian totally takes advantage of it when he wants something (like when he brings an entire flock of ducklings into the house claiming that he found them in a park and didn’t want them to die). The other kids always send Damian to ask when they also want something but Bruce has said no already
-Bruce tries to help Damian with homework and projects for school (like a science fair project or a book report) even though Damian doesn’t really need the help (Bruce definitely doesn’t keep all of his kids’ old work to look at when he’s feeling sentimental, nor does he keep their artwork framed in his room. Nope, definitely not.)
