me, myself, and I

New Parent Bruce learning that sometimes children are much more correct than adults by having Dick reignite his inner child.

Dickie: Can I have a chocolate AND strawberry cake for my birthday?

Bruce: *dead serious, writing on notepad* Both on one cake?

Dickie: No, two separate cakes. Ooh! What if we got FOUR cakes?! Two strawberry and two chocolate and two of them can have the other flavour of icing on them! Like a mix and match!!

Bruce: Four cakes?! No, I don’t think we can do that…

Dickie: Why not…?

Bruce: ……I don’t know why, actually… How big do you want those cakes to be?

New parent Bruce at two in the morning: Why aren’t you in bed?

9-year-old Dick, sitting at the table eating ice cream: Because I’m in the kitchen.

Bruce tiredly, digging out some coffee: And why are you in the kitchen?

Dick: Because it’s where the ice cream is.

I would love to see Battinson, — Victorian vampire thrown into modern times, Gotham royalty baptised in blood and poor social skills, ‘Count Dracula but make it vogue’, — have a Harvey.

These two dancing around eachother in the vicious loop of ‘wait, you’re flirting with me?’ ‘Have been for a decade, but thanks for noticing’, and ‘kiss your doomed bros good night’ is amazing.

But also? You would never guess they’ve been married for YEARS.

Dent, justice in putrefaction, one foot on the law’s neck, one hand holding fate at gunpoint, somehow bagged Wayne.

Who, questionable adoption habits and eyeliner application aside, is THE prettiest motherfucker in the tri-state.

Seriously. Dick saw someone drive straight into a traffic light when Bruce walked him to school.

He’s seen a lot of weird shit in Gotham.

By far the weirdest was seeing Bruce, current foster father, who once cried because Dick told him ‘good job!’ for not burning eggs, talking his husband out of committing a felony.

Because Dick got an ‘F’ on his essay about birds.

Harvey, tucking a gun in his waistband, mutters angrily, — thought, sometimes Dick believes there’s a third party involved, cause Harvey’s right handed, but he only shoots with his left.

“I would love to see Belinda climb a fucking tree for two hours looking for feathers.”

Bruce, voice like a pianist singing in the rain, arms crossed, patiently cocks his head, eyes dark and doe eyes and eyelashes dagger sharp. “Harv.”

And Harvey? Folds. Immediately. Like a napkin with blood stains on it. It’s actually kind of embarrassing.

I’m sick and miserable so it’s time to read all the baby batkids with their batdad I can get my hands on

*introducing Grayson to the og JL (they don’t know bruce’s identity yet)*

bruce: this is my ward, robin

robin!dick: hi!!

clark: …batman, how old is robin?

dick: i’m ten! :D

diana: *frowns in concern*

bruce: …he would’ve went out on his own if I didn’t train him

clark: i’m not sure i believe that…

dick: no he’s right! i did actually go out on my own before he offered to let me work alongside him

diana, impressed: you patrolled the streets of Gotham on your own?

dick: mhm! at night, too!

clark, horrified: …i need to sit down.

So it's totally canon that Bruce is fluent in like a million languages, he's trained with hundreds of people in hundreds of fields, but imagine: Dick and Damian trying to curse in their native languages and being scolded!

Young Dick, who just stubbed his toe hard on one of the coffee tables in the manor, cursing like a sailor in Romani thinking he won't get in trouble for it, and Bruce is quick to swoop in like "Chum, we don't use that kind of language in the house." Dick is terrified cuz he's been shit talking and scheming in Romani behind Bruce back since being adopted.

Damian, fully decked out in his Robin gear, delivering a beat down to a Riddler goon, and he's using the most foul and insulting language ever in Arabic and when Bruce shows up he's this massive hulking shadowy figure that sounds so sad when he says "Did your mother teach you to speak that way?"
