I’m sorry but I can’t stop thinking about an AU where Selina decides to take in one of the robins before Bruce find them. She’s never really considered being a parental figure but she could use a side kick and they seem plenty willing to get into trouble so why not.
in this AU it would probably make sense for it to be Tim. She decides to break into the Drake Mansion to steal some of their valuable things that rich people wouldn’t miss and they happened to leave behind a clever child who is too starry eyes at meeting someone who’s wearing a mask. His parents sadly pass away while on that archeological dig. Thank god Selina was there and able to take him in and after a little illegal forging he is now Timothy Kyle son of the Catwoman. So she takes this boy in and teaches him all the things a boy his age should know like grappling hooks and lock picking and also helps him with his homework and lets him take out stacks of books from the library. He starts calling her Mom and well who is she to tell him he can’t do that. She also makes her little black haired blue eyed son a suit and teaches him how to leap off Gotham rooftops like she and Batman have done since before he was born. Of course the vigilantes eventually run into her and her little kitten and react accordingly.
Jason Robin!: Wow I can’t believe Catwoman has a sidekick this is so cool.Hey Batman are you alright? Bruce (unsure of whether he is going to dead faint or cry. Mentally trying to recall what he looked like as a child, when he and Selina first started this Cat and Mouse game, and trying to do pregnancy math because his on again off again lover is standing in front of him with a little boy with he exact colouring who calls her Mom and also trying to estimate child support backpay)
Catwoman seeing the pause and not realizing what it means decides to take her sidekick and dip. However as they are getting away the kid takes a single moment to wave at Batman and excitedly tell him that he and Robin were his heroes. Batman is still reeling.
okay. I may have a secret love child with Catwoman. An adorable boy who is way too young to be running around the city. (He is at least as old as Dick was when he started out but Bruce isn’t thinking anything right now beyond Oh God I have a secret son)
He tries to keep it a secret until he can track them back down but Jason happens to offhandedly mentions Catwoman and her kid who looks like he should be a Robin show as really smart and weird. Bruce’s heart stops as Alfred raises the Eyebrow of Death directly at him and mentions how he hopes that Miss Kyle and her little one will be dropping by soon. (He has already left Selina five voice messages and will continue doing so every two hours). Alfred also tells Dick which creates even more chaos because WTF Bruce did you seriously knock up Catwoman!!
Then a few days later he runs into the kid again and before he can ask him any questions such as how old are you and do you happen to know if you have a father- kid asks Batman about being a detective. You see he also wants to be a detective and he’s trying to investigate the mayor for fraud using the Gotham Museums as his cover. His mom said that Batman is the greatest detective in the world so could he possibly help?
It’s yes. It’s immediately a yes and with every interaction they have Bruce becomes more and more convinced that this is his bio kid until the day he manages to get an hour alone with Selina and beg to arrange joint custody.
But imagine, Tim is really their bio child.
Selina was pregnant, she really wanted this kid but she also knew that her life was too unstable, no money, she could end up in jail at any time. No, she knew her baby could life a better life without her in it. So the day, she gave birth, she left the baby at the hospital, she didn't name him. If she does, she would be too attached and couldn't leave.
The same day at the same hospital, Janet had a really complicate delivery and the baby didn't survived. Jack was destroy, his wife condition is critical and he lost his child. They need a baby. They have no desire to have the media or the high society of Gotham on their backs. They need an heir. Jack overheard some nurses talking about a abandoned newborn and we know than money can buy anything. The exchange was made. The true Drake baby was buried as the poor baby who was abandonned by his mother and Tim became Timothy Drake, Jack and Janet Drake heir. Janet never knew than her son wasn't her son.
So the day, Selina break into the Drake Mansion, she had no idea she met the son, she had to abandonned years ago.
Bruce is really convince than Selina's kitten is their bio kid but Selina either deny it or keep the mystery up. Bruce decides he need a definitive answer so he put his hands on some Tim's DNA sample (don't kwon how) and runs the test. And TADAAAM he's the father !
Bruce goes to Selina with the result and is like "See ! I knew I was his father". Selina is really surprise "You fuck Janet Drake ?"
Now Bruce is even more suprise "What ?! No, I wouldn't have sex with the Iron Queen herself. I didn't have death wish" (Bruce always be kinda terrify by Janet since childhood)
"Obviously you have that kind of kink since you prouve you're Tim's dad."
"NO ! I never had sex with Janet ! Tim is your kid, why do you talk about her ?"
"Cause Tim was her son before ....." Selina stop herself and rush to see Tim's birth certificate. Same day, same hospital than her and her baby, same everything except parents' names.
That can't be just a coincidence ? They run another test with Selina's DNA and TADAAAM ! Congratulation, you are the mother !
