đâ⏠The Catâs Robin. đŚ
Bruce Wayne x Selina Kyle (Male!Teenage!Reader is Selinaâs kid).
Rain fell softly on Gothamâs rooftops the night Selina Kyle found him. The kind of rain that didnât cleanse the city, just made it shine a little while it bled. Sheâd been halfway through a job â diamond necklace, old museum, easy marks â when she heard it. A sharp cough, a groan, then silence.
She turned the corner and saw him â a boy, no older than twelve, bleeding out in an alley. The colors hit her first. The red, green, and black of a torn uniform she thought she vaguely recognized.
âOh, sweetheartâŚâ she whispered, crouching beside him. His mask was half gone, one eye swollen shut, skin ghostly pale beneath the grime.
âWhereâsâŚâ he croaked weakly, â...whereâs my parents?â
She looked around â no adults in sight. Just a broken boy left behind by the shadows.
âDonât worry about them, kid,â she murmured, sliding her coat over his trembling shoulders. âYouâve got someone now.â
He passed out before he could argue.
Sixteen-year-old Y/N Kyle stood at the window of their Gotham penthouse, headphones in, sketching rooftops across the skyline. His hair had grown longer, wilder. He wore black like a comfort blanket, but his smirk â that belonged to Selina.
âY/N!â Selina called from the kitchen. âIf youâre planning to brood, at least brood with breakfast.â
He turned, grinning. âIâm not brooding, Iâm observing. Artists donât brood.â
Selina arched an eyebrow. âYouâre my son. You definitely brood.â
He rolled his eyes but padded over, accepting the plate of toast and eggs. âThanks, Mom.â
That still made her heart flutter. âAny plans today?â
He shrugged. âMaybe patrol later. You know, keep the alley cats safe.â
She smirked. âThatâs my boy.â
The grand hall was lit with golden chandeliers. Bruce Wayne stood with his usual composure, though Alfred caught the rare softness in his eyes as Selina entered.
âSelina,â Bruce said, voice warm. âYou look radiant.â
She smirked. âCareful, Bruce. Youâll make me think you mean it.â
He smiled â the real kind. Theyâd been meeting often lately, patching the years with quiet conversation.
âI heard youâve... settled down a bit,â Bruce teased lightly, pouring her tea. âWord is, youâve got someone living with you?â
Selinaâs expression softened. âYeah. My son. Y/N. Heâs sixteen now. Found him years ago. Heâs... everything, Bruce.â
Bruce nodded approvingly. âYouâre a mother, huh? Iâm happy for you. Whatâs he like?â
Selinaâs lips curved into a proud grin. âSmart. Quick. Bit of a rule-bender â wonder where he got that from.â
Bruce chuckled. âSounds like someone Iâd like to meet.â
âMaybe one day,â she said.
A Week Later â Wedding Planning
Selina sat on the couch beside Bruce, their wedding just months away. Alfred brought tea while they sorted through name lists, decorations, guest invites.
Bruce smiled faintly. âYou know, I should probably prepare to be a stepfather. Whatâs your boyâs name again?â
Selinaâs smile widened. âY/N. Y/N Kyle.â
Bruce froze. The teacup nearly slipped from his hand.
â...What did you say?â
âY/N Kyle,â she repeated, puzzled. âWhy?â
Bruceâs eyes went distant â haunted. âI... I had a son once. My second Robin. His name was Y/N. He... he died years ago.â His voice cracked slightly at the word died.
Selina blinked. âOh, Bruce⌠Iâm so sorry.â
He reached into his wallet, pulling out a worn photograph â a boy with a bright grin, mask tilted slightly askew, standing beside Batman.
Selinaâs heart stopped.
âBruce,â she whispered, voice trembling. âThatâsâ thatâs my kid.â
âThatâs him. Thatâs Y/N. Thatâs the boy I found in the alley four years ago.â
They both stared at each other, realization dawning like a sunrise after years of darkness.
The Batmobile rolled to a silent stop outside the penthouse that night. Y/N was sprawled on the couch, watching a crime documentary, when the door opened.
âMom?â he called. âYouâre home earlyââ
Bruce Wayne.
No â Batman.
His breath caught in his throat.
Selina stood between them, her hand on his shoulder. âY/N, sweetheart⌠thereâs someone you need to talk to.â
Bruce took a hesitant step forward. His voice was barely above a whisper. âY/NâŚ?â
(Y/N)âs eyes widened, flickering between shock and disbelief. âNo. No, youâ you left me.â
Bruceâs jaw clenched, emotion breaking through the stoic mask. âI thought you were gone. We searched for weeks. There was blood, the wreckageâ I thought Iâd failed you.â
Tears burned behind Y/Nâs eyes. âYou did.â
Selina squeezed his hand gently. âHe didnât know, baby.â
Silence stretched, then Bruce said quietly, âYouâre alive. Thatâs all that matters.â
Y/N hesitated â then, slowly, stepped forward. His voice cracked. âYou really thought I died?â
Bruceâs lip trembled. âEvery day since that night.â
And that was enough. Y/N threw his arms around him, burying his face into the Kevlar chest. Bruce held him like he might vanish again if he let go.
Selina stood a few feet away, arms crossed, trying to hide the tears forming in her eyes. âMy boys,â she whispered.
Weeks Later â The Wedding
The manor gardens glowed under fairy lights. Gothamâs most elusive pair â Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle â finally stood hand in hand before their friends and family.
Y/N stood proudly between them, his tux crisp, his smile shy but genuine.
When the vows ended, Bruce looked at him and said, âWeâve both lost enough time. From now on, youâll never question where you belong.â
Y/N nodded. âI know. Iâm a Kyle... and a Wayne.â
Selina chuckled softly. âPerfect mix of trouble and heart.â
As they turned toward the crowd, the new family hand in hand, Gothamâs skyline shimmered behind them â dark, dangerous, and finally, just a little bit brighter.
Later that night, Y/N perched on the balcony, staring out at the city. Bruce approached, resting a hand on his shoulder.
âThinking about patrolling?â Bruce asked.
Y/N smirked. âYou know me too well.â
Selinaâs voice called from inside, teasing, âIf either of you ruin my wedding night with heroics, I swearââ
Bruce and Y/N exchanged identical grins.
âLike father,â Selina muttered from the doorway, âlike son.â
And for the first time in years, Gothamâs dark knight and its cleverest cat finally had a family.
The manor was quieter than usual that morning. Alfred had taken Selina to the city for errands, leaving you and Bruce with a breakfast table far too large for two people who preferred rooftops.
You were halfway through a plate of waffles when Bruce set down his coffee and said, âThereâs something Iâve been meaning to do.â
You glanced up, wary. âThat sounds like something thatâs gonna make me sweat or cry.â
He smirked faintly. âMaybe both.â
You tilted your head. âYouâre terrifying when youâre vague.â
He didnât answer, only stood and motioned for you to follow.
The Training Wing â Wayne Manor
The door opened to the training room â but it wasnât empty.
A man in a blue suit leaned casually against the wall, twirling his escrima sticks with a grin you didnât expect to recognize until your heart stopped.
âHey, kid,â he said softly.
His grin faltered, replaced with something softer â like relief. âItâs really you.â
You froze in place, years of pain and memories colliding at once.
âB...Bruce didnât tell me youââ
âHe didnât tell anyone,â Dick interrupted gently, setting the sticks down and taking a hesitant step forward. âWe thought you were gone. We buried you.â
You swallowed hard, throat tight. âGuess I didnât stay buried.â
Dick laughed weakly through tears. âNo, you never did like following orders.â
That broke the tension. You laughed, and before you knew it, you were hugging â arms tight, tears spilling freely, the kind of reunion that made the years between you dissolve.
âYou got taller,â Dick murmured.
âYou got old,â you shot back with a grin.
He barked a laugh. âOkay, yeah, fair.â
The door opened again, and a familiar younger voice spoke from behind.
âWaitâwhatâs going on here? Bruce, whyâs Nightwing crying?â
You turned to see Tim Drake â dressed in casual clothes, coffee in hand, confusion written all over his face.
Bruce crossed his arms. âTim, this isââ
âY/N,â you interrupted, smiling softly. âGuess that makes me your older brother.â
Tim blinked, eyes darting between you and Bruce. âWait. What?â
Dick chuckled, wiping his eyes. âYeah, surprise sibling reveal. Classic Wayne family move.â
Timâs brain visibly short-circuited. âButâhowâwhere have you beenââ
You shrugged. âLong story. Selina found me years ago. Raised me.â
Timâs eyes widened. âSelina Kyle? As inâCatwoman?!â
You smirked. âThe one and only.â
Dick clapped Tim on the shoulder. âWelcome to the family chaos, little brother. Weâre gonna need a bigger group chat.â
You were suiting up again for the first time in years. Not as Robin â that costume was gone â but something new. A blend of both worlds: black and deep red, lined with subtle silver stitching that Selina had sewn herself.
You were tightening your gloves when a sharp voice echoed behind you.
âSo youâre the miracle child Father canât stop talking about.â
You turned to see a small boy with piercing green eyes, scowling like heâd been born angry.
âLet me guess,â you said. âDamian.â
He crossed his arms. âYouâre my older brother.â
You raised an eyebrow. âYou donât sound thrilled about it.â
âI simply question the necessity of another Wayne in the field,â he said stiffly. âFather already has me.â
You grinned. âOh, trust me, Iâm not trying to steal your spotlight. You seem to have plenty of ego to share.â
His glare sharpened â but then, to your surprise, the faintest smirk crept across his face. âAt least youâre not boring.â
âNeither are you, kid.â
He stepped closer, eyes narrowing. âIf we spar, Iâll win.â
You shrugged. âMaybe. But youâd have to catch me first.â
Dickâs laughter rang from the balcony above. âDonât challenge him, Dami â heâs got Selinaâs footwork. Youâll be swinging at air.â
Damian groaned. âYouâre all insufferable.â
Bruce smiled faintly from the Batcomputer, looking at the four of you â the family heâd once thought broken beyond repair â now together, laughing, alive.
That Night â Rooftop of Wayne Tower
You stood beside Dick, the city lights reflecting off your visor.
âFeels weird being back up here,â you said quietly. âUsed to think the rooftops were home.â
Dick nodded. âThey still are. But now, youâve got a few people waiting at the bottom, too.â
You smirked. âYeah. Momâs probably tracking me right now.â
He chuckled. âSelina Kyle tracking you? Never thought Iâd see the day.â
You grinned. âGuess we both got lucky. You with Bruce. Me with her.â
âFamilyâs weird like that,â Dick said softly.
You looked out over Gotham â your city, your familyâs city â and felt, for the first time in years, whole.
The next morning, Alfred found a note on the kitchen counter, written in your quick handwriting:
âOut with the boys. Donât worry, Mom â Iâll bring them home in one piece.
-Love,
Y/N Kyle-Wayne.â
Selina smirked as she read it, sipping her coffee.
Bruce glanced over her shoulder, his faint smile betraying pride.
And somewhere in the skyline, four shadows leapt across the rooftops â one blue, one red, one green, one black â Gothamâs brothers in the night.
