Um, um, uhh- reader who finds themselves stranded in another dimension, still in their gear, in front of Wayne Manor with a younger Bruce who takes one look at how they move, how they look, how their face twists into a glare so familiar and simply assumes that they are his, just from the future—you bear his face, why wouldn’t he assume as such?
And the reader with vengeance boiling loud in their veins accepts the role easily, a plan already beginning to piece itself together in their mind.
But this isn’t the Bruce, the Batman, they know.
And they find themselves way in over their head.
Warning: pseudocest/incest implied/up to interpretation, like you can decide whether or not it’s platonic, sexual tension?? I… guess??, Bruce is just a little touchy, villainous reader, reader is a bit of a brat, the DNA check thing is in the process of being done but the reader’s DNA keeps melting through everything and Bruce is just like ‘yep, that’s mine’, the reader isn’t his child but they do share a lot of DNA with him… if you get what I’m implying…, drugging, reader’s hands are tied behind their back, possessive behaviour, etc.
Bruce hums softly, hands rubbing up and down the sides of your thighs, feeling at the flesh against his fingers.
You’re all tuckered out after all your kicking and screaming (and maybe a bit of that drug he gave you), hands tied behind your back, body limp but not fully melting into him, the distance between your two bodies just enough for him to see your face, your glare still deep in your features but a little less intense, wavering the slightest bit with the energy dripping out of your bones.
You’re in his office. Sat on his lap like a gift.
Bruce’s eyes trail over you, over your face.
You look so much like him with those brows of yours carrying that sharp little arch he used to be so self conscious of and the darkness to your stare he could never quite get rid of. He doesn’t know how the other him gave you up. He doesn’t know why anyone ever would.
Bruce leans forward to press your noses together and you reel back like an offended cat. He can’t help the laugh that comes out.
The DNA hasn’t even been able to be checked yet—your blood keeps destroying his equipment—but he already knows you’re his. You couldn’t be anything but.
His baby. His. It didn’t matter if you weren’t his by blood, you were his by right. The other him gave you up. Bruce, he, was the one who found you, who kept you, who chose you.
The other him didn’t get to make any claims. Didn’t get to keep anything he discarded.
But, as angry as he is that another him gave you up, he can’t help but feel a little grateful.
Bruce wouldn’t have you if it weren’t for the other him’s mess-up’s.
You know what they say—one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
