Routine!Reader Relationship with the Batfamily(in the beginning):
The relationship between Routine!reader and Bruce is similar to most of the neglected reader fiction you would read.
You were taken in just a few months after the death of Jason. So Bruces couldn’t emotionally take care of the reader. He did provide for them as they grew. He would have dinner with them. He would give them his card if they asked for it. But that was about it. He just provided financially and had meals with the reader.
As time went on, though, and the family grew, the reader began to stop attending the dinners and, more or less, just stayed on their side of the manor. They learned how to cook themselves through YouTube and TV shows.
Due to the reader's emotionless and stern mind, during those dinners where rountine! reader was forced to attend, the reader doesn’t feel much to Bruce. She just sat and ate, and then she would leave to go and plan her week.
The routine reader doesn’t call Bruce, dad or father, as she doesn’t view him as anything but the man who took her in. That was it.
When she left, Bruce only realized until the next family dinner, as you weren’t seated at your usual spot at the end of the table.
Dick was going through the loss of Jason and was going through all sorts of things at the time, not to mention he was already living in Bloodhaven so Dick didn’t interact with reader a lot in the first place.
Dick didn’t acknowledge Routine reader during the first few years she lived at the manor.
However, as the family grew and he began to visit more often, there were times during the few dinners that the reader was forced to attend by Alfred when Dick would try to talk to them, try to get them to be a part of the family dinner. But the reader would just give him only a few hums and short answers.
The reader reminded Dick a lot about Bruce, as she carried a sort of mysterious and quiet aura. Dick is trying to be a good brother now, he tries his best to be better and be around everyone, but with you, it's like you don’t even see him.
After the reader started Uni, there were times when reader would see dick, walking around campus looking for something, but you just ignored him and quietly walked to class.
Little did you know he was looking for you.
But when you graduated, you were missing from the manor . It was like you disappeared.
As I said you were brought in when he was dead.
But after being alive, and coming back for vengeance, you were safe due to the fact of your neglect, as Jason didn’t see you around Bruce and the media did not pay attention to you.
After the vengeance arc, the first time you and Jason are in the library. You were doing your homework.
When I say this was your first meeting, it was more like Jason watching you for the first time. When you heard someone walk through the doors of the library, you didn’t even look up, as you were focused on what you had to do for school so you had time to go and cook your lunch.
Jason was neutral about you at first. Alfred had informed him that Bruce had taken in a biological child of his and was raising them and it wasn't like he went to the manor and stayed for long.
What got him hooked was your cooking.
During one of his occasional fridge raids in the manor, he found you cooking some pork chops.
After some silence, you asked if he wanted any or if he was just going to stand there like an idiot.
After that, whenever he enters the manor, he looks for you and tries to get you to cook for him.
Most of the time you ignored him or just leave the room when he enters.
After he found out that you left, Jason was wandering why. University? Nope. He found out through one of your friends Instagram post that you had graduated months ago.
If that’s the case, why did you leave?
Tim is one of the greatest detectives in Gotham if not the world.
Yet for some reason, he can't get any information about you.
(This is because you don’t use social media at all, but that doesn’t mean you don’t appear on it.)
When Tim first became Robin at 13 and living with Bruce after gaining custody, you were 12. Due to his stalking research on Batman, he already knew that Bruce had a biological child, but he was too busy carrying the title of Robin that he didn’t have time to address you.
After a while, the two of you would eventually meet face-to-face. You were in the kitchen making coffee when Tim walked in. You noticed him eyeing your coffee so you moved out of the way to let him grabb the freshly made coffee pot.
Your first interaction with each other wasn't anything worthwhile, you just ignored him after that.
But to Tim, this was the start of something new. When seeing you for the very first time, he wanted to know more about you. Why did you act the way you did, why you didn’t seem to care about simple matters or big matters, why you didn’t react to the world around you? Why, why why, why.
As you grew up, Tim would gradually try to learn things about you, after failing to find you on social media because you don’t have any, he found your friends and saw that in all of them, you had the same face, same body posture, and no reaction. Nothing seemed to change. Why?
Were you abused before coming into the manor? No. Past reports indicate no abuse of any kind and that you were raised by hard-working mom who didn’t seem to cause any problems.
As he began to observe you more as the both of you grew older, the more of an obsession he had of you. Every day he would try to learn something new about you, and when he was able to find the rare detail, it was like a fucking rush of dopamine.
When you leave without a trace.
Now he wonders, where did you go? What are you hiding now?
Many people say that Damion would attack a neglected reader to show dominance as the better heir and blood child.
This does happen. When they first meet each other.
Routine! reader would be 16 when she meets the 10-year-old assassin for the very first time.
Bruce introduces Rountie! reader to Damion after a few days of him living in the manor. The meeting is placed in one of the living rooms where both Bruce and Alfred are present.
The routine reader does raise an eyebrow when she hears that the little goblin that’s glaring at her is her new little biological brother, but besides that, she just nods her head. Damion on the other hand decides to fight for dominance as the better-blood sibling and immediately attacks with a dagger.
Thankfully due to Alfred training the reader in self-defense, she was able to keep Damion from attacking her until Alfred and Bruce stepped in.
After that it was agreed on, for now, Damion and Routine!reader would be kept separated from each other until further notice.
After that, it was rare for the two siblings to be seen next to each other, and if they did happen to be in the same room. Routine!reader would pretty much treat him like everyone else, ignore him. Damion on the other hand would stare at you with a glare.
Due to this kind of relationship, the two of you didn’t know anything about each other.
All Damion saw was a pathetic excuse of a human, an unworthy successor.
And all Routine!reader saw was a green eyed goblin.
When Rountine!reader finally left, Damion didn’t really care that much.
He was confused when everyone started freaking out about you disappearing. So what?
That was until a child was discovered in your arms.
Cassandra Cain and Stephine Brown:
Honestly, these two both admire you.
The way you speak, the way you carry yourself. The way you dress.
Cassandra especially likes you as both of you struggle with expressing emotions. Whenever there's a family dinner or an event where both of you are attending, she tries to talk to you by sign language or through body language.
Despite you like being left alone and not seeing the family as a family, you did see that Cassandra wanted to just talk and to be with you.
The two of you would speak in sign language until the event or dinner was over and you would excuse yourself and leave for the day.
Overall, I think despite wanting to be left alone, Routine reader doesn’t mind Cassandra's presence as she doesn’t bother her with stupid questions or stares. They just sit there and talk with their hands and body language.
Stephine on the other hand, being the loud and head-first spirit she is, wants to talk to you about everything. Where did you get the shoes, clothes, and everything else you have? Do you like to shop? Tries to get you to shop with her. using Bruce's card.
On a deeper level, Stephine likes how elegant and quiet you are I think she had a type, you don’t let people talk down to you, and come up with the coolest backhanded comments. Legit makes her laugh whenever she sees you put high-end ladies in their place.
When you suddenly disappear, Stephine is freaking out while Cassandra is trying to calm her down. They want to know where you are. Did they do something, why aren’t you in your usual place?
