he also noticed that Bruce is barely home. He works in the morning and is gone after dinner.

"Bruce." Dick called.

"Yes, boy? What do you need?"

".. Bruce, are you a vampire?"

Steph: ... yeah, sure. i know it'll end like this.

Tim: I'm sorry.

Stephanie: it's none of your fault, i–

Barbara, on intercom: uhh.. Red Robin, Spoiler.. sorry to interrupt your break up event but your intercom is still on and the whole family could hear.. uh.. meeting at batcave tomorrow at 8 p.m sharp. oracle head out .

Tim: ...

Steph: ...

Tim: so.. see you tomorrow at batcave?

Steph: uh, see you tomorrow.. at batcave..

Dick, whispering but still heard through the intercom: this is awkward..

Tim: we can hear you, Nightwing.

Dick: uh, want some bat burger?

Dick, kick one of his friend's head with said ball.

Bruce, in panic; my boy!!

..

Jason, writing a diary: dear diary, today i get to patrol as a boy wonder and save the day. i was so happy today, only if Bruce didn't tell me to stop throw that fucker's head into a boiling pot of Old Bay seasoning and—

Bruce, standing behind Jason: you what lad? The diary should be private and secret.

..

Bruce, sit on the couch: finally a peaceful da—

Jason, yelling from upstairs: Bruce, Tim's dissecting the bats again!!

Bruce, sigh: TIM!

Tim, from his "mini lab": IT'S FOR SCIENCE!!

..

Bruce: ...

Damian: ...

Bruce: ...

Damian: father.

Bruce: yes you can bring Titus to the dog park but no, you can't bring home any strays

Damian, open his mouth to talk:

Bruce: if you still insist I'll bring Tim with me instead.

Damian, want to argue:

Bruce: say a word and I'll limit your visit to Kent's farm.

Damian: ...

Even his co-worker didn't believe it at first; what makes Clark so special for having a literal Billionaire from across the city to date him? Clark is just a random journalist, and his writing isn't that good compared to Lois.

Metropolis Tabloid finally released an Interview with Bruce Wayne after his philanthropist act, donating for Woman dan Kids protection and the Homeless Helper.

Interviewer: Let's talk about the kinda hot news between two cities, the infamous playboy finally setting down for our journalist! how rare! do you mind sharing?

Bruce: first, he makes me laugh. it's enough for me because i can take the rest by myself.

Interviewer: Interesting! is there more?

Bruce: he's awkward, he's so nice that it makes me a little worried. but maybe that's his charm.

Interviewer: so you like an awkward and little naive kinda guy?

what else does he love? annoying Bruce.

The book was so good, when Jason converted one of the fic into a book (change name etc.) he won the best selling book ever in Gotham.

Tim, reading one of Jason's books: i know this storyline seems familiar!

Jason: ...

Jason: which one did you read?

Tim: ...

Missing his sleep like crazy and trying to catch his sleep with micro sleep? definitely not a good lifestyle. but what else is not a good lifestyle? right, letting Gotham alone.

Tim has Steph helped train him with a commanded micro sleep. and the magic word is "(insert conversation here) ... agreed, Tim?" and within a second, Tim will awake and give a response that's actually connected with the question.

in example,

Dick: ... and that's why the Kryptonite has to be with us in the Batcave because those boy scouts easily get mind controlled and weak with magic, just like we agreed, Tim?

Tim, waking up from his sleep on the chair: ..! yes, i thought so. if we let them keep it it'll be so much trouble.

..

Bruce: and so, from this discovery, i decided to patrol near this area of Gotham. Jason and Damian can patrol there, and Dick you.. there. you agreed, Tim?

Tim, waking up from his sleep on the Batcave meeting table: yes, that schedule is right. keep caution cause that area is like.. dangerous.

..

Impulse: actually! i found that interesting! we should do a team bonding some times! you should agree, Tim! it'll be so so so much fun!

Kon, looking at Tim who sleeps standing up: ... you agreed, Tim?

Tim, jerking his head up as he wakes up: uh huh. sure, why not?

Tim was 20 when he finally reciprocated Kon's feelings. The emotional boy now turned to a man, forcing Kon to act mature too. But he said he loves Kon just the way he is. The loud laugh now just giggles, but it's a laugh at least.

Tim was 35 when he had a desire to have family and kids as Dick and Bruce did. Kon tried to set him up with a woman, but ended up badly, Tim got angry and threw away his ring.

Tim was 40 when Kon finally addressed his concern for Tim's condition. He realized that the boy he loves is slowly getting older and has wrinkles. Even Lex Luthor can't prevent a man from growing older.

Tim was 50 when Kon realized that Tim can't work or move as much as when he's younger. he spends his days as Kon called "a boring old man". He still helped him maneuver through the world, helping him as much as he could.

Tim was 65 when he finally got retired and stopped being vigilantes. finally used Bruce's trust fund as his retirement money, he moved out of Gotham to live peacefully in Smallville. Kon loves to come over and accompany his boring old man watching sun sets as they're sipping tea.

Tim was 75, he realized that Kon was never really growing old. The boy looked as young as he was inside the tube. with his wrinkly hand, he touched Kon's young face, smiling. "You look beautiful as ever."

Kon is the only one that is still standing in front of Tim's grave, even after days.

Getting a distress call from the other world, Kon chose to solve problems in another world.

As they come to Gotham, he looks at one of the rooftops, and meets him.

17 year old Tim.

Damian, staring intensely: it looks..

Tim: ironically good, i know.

Damian:

Tim:

Tim: wanna pretend this suit sucks so we can fight?

Damian: sure.

*there's loud sounds, screaming, and suspicious gunshot noises upstairs.*

Bruce: are these two fights pretend again?

Dick, eating peanut butter straight from the jar: like.. ironically.

Jason, holding a water gun: did someone ironically switch my gun to these?

*more gunshot noises.*

Bruce: ... ironically?

Jason, stomps upstairs: DAMIAN!!

Bruce: Dick, aren't you allergic to peanuts?

Dick, burning up: i am not.

Bruce: God, ALFRED!!

Dick swung from the chandelier to the camera, "Hi! welcome to the.. uh.. what's this called again? oh, keeping up with the Waynes!"

Dick solo camera: "hi I'm Dick Grayson. I'm an adopted son of Bruce Wayne and.." *reading his paper.* "and i love my dad, yeah."

interviewer: "how do you end up as Bruce Wayne's adoptive son?"

Dick: "well, it all started when i was still in Haley's circus with mamei and tatei, but some unfortunate things happened, i ended up in an orphanage for about a week til Bruce came and said "you're adopted" to me."

Interviewer: "why did you just accept yourself being adopted by the billionaire who isn't even married?"

Dick: "I'm 9. I grew up in a circus without proper education, what do you want me to do? being a slave? i thought that thing was illegal."

the camera changed to Bruce, smiling proudly: "he's so smart, isn't he?"

interviewer: "why did you accept your nickname, Dick?"

Dick: "well, it's my first time in an American orphanage, i introduced myself as Richard but the other kids tell me every Richard is a Dick, then well i live up to the name."

Bruce: "he did.. uh.. put a gum in a girl's hair, flying kick a boy from the rooftop and.. well, making the orphanage a living hell.. quote from a boy who begged me to adopt Dick instead of him."

..

Dick: "living with a billionaire is soo cool! i mean, there's many high places to jump and swing at! especially that Chandelier."

footage of Dick swing from the chandelier to Bruce's body and sitting on his shoulder.

Bruce: "clap your hand, he'll do more dangerous acts if he got no attention!"

staff clapping hands sounds.

Dick: "I don't have to eat a sad sludge of soup and cold bread anymore, Alfred is making me a delicious breakfast! i can also eat cereal but it is limited to cornflakes only. Alfred, i want Lucky charms!"

Alfred: "well, Master Dick, eating sugar in the morning as a breakfast could lead to obesity. you do not want to be fat and can't swing around right?"

Dick: "argument accepted."

..

Bruce, looking focused: "Dick, what do you have here?"

Dick: "an elephant."

Bruce: "how?"

Dick: "dunno, just found her behind those forest."

Bruce: "... Dick, that's not a rainforest. call the animal control."

Dick: "we can't afford to raise an elephant?"

Bruce: "what do you mean?! of course we can afford –"

Bruce solo camera: "he got himself an elephant." *he shrugged, looking defeated.* "i know he's doing something when i look at his blue eyes!"

..

Dick: "Bruce i demand a friend."

Bruce: "you can talk to your elephant."

Dick: "no, i need a human, talking friend."

Bruce: "there's Alfred and me, you can talk to me."

Dick: "no, you're too old to understand me."

Bruce, sighing by pressing his temple: "you're a pain in the ass."

Dick, crossing his arms: "well I'm sorry for being a Dick!"

Bruce: "Dick!"

Dick: "what! you want me to change my name to Ass?!"

..

Alfred on a solo cam, with Bruce and Dick arguing, kicking, and pinching each other: "As you can see the manor is also lively today. i guess I'll see you soon. good bye."

Bruce walked to the camera, smiling as he opened wide his arms to hug the camera. "Welcome to the Wayne manor."

Bruce solo camera: "hi, it's Bruce Wayne. uh, Billionaire, philanthropist, you name it all. i can be anyone, anywhere, any time."

interviewer: "including Batman?"

Bruce: "Batman? oh dear, this ain't a baseball game sweet heart, no one brings a bat inside this house except for beating a burglar."

interviewer: "so, what about this reality show?"

Bruce, playfully brushed the camera: "oh, keeping up with the Waynes? come on, everyone in Gotham is dying to know how i live, what do i do now? you know, i was a sad, wet kitten when my parents died, and people wanna know if I'm suffering."

Bruce: "well, i was suffering, but now i am a better man. i even adopted a child that had the same fate as i. dead parents, not rich and gorgeous."

camera switch to a 9 years old Dick.

Dick: "h-hi, I'm 9 and i love pizza!"

Bruce, behind the camera: "you forgot your name, chum."

Dick: "oh! my name is Richard Grayson but the other kids in the orphanage call me Dick."

camera turned to Bruce,

Bruce: "well, children can be cruel."

..

Bruce: "well, we usually do our morning with a simple routine like morning work out together.."

cut to Bruce yelling at Dick that's on top of a big tree.

Bruce: "I'm gonna count to three, if you don't bring your ass here, I'm gonna cut this tree off and float you with it!"

Dick: "you can't even lift a dumbbell how are you gonna lift a chainsaw, old man?!"

Bruce: *turn on the chainsaw gear.* "that's it, you're grounded!"

cut to solo cam Bruce again: "... or gardening together, you know.. watering the plants."

cut to Dick walking in Bruce's garden.

Bruce, yelling from the 2nd floor: "get out of my garden!"

Dick, yelling back: "I'm gonna shit in your garden!"

Bruce: "do it! i dare you!"

Dick, pulling down his pants.

Bruce: "ALFRED!!"

Alfred solo camera, with Bruce running chasing Dick in the background: "I'm Alfred, Master Bruce's butler since he's in diaper. and yeah, since master Dick coming to live with us the manor seems to be more.. lively."

..

Bruce, panicking because he can't find his tie and he needs to attend Gala: "i put it on the table and did not touch it at all! i promised!"

Alfred: "well, seems like our little acrobat is already taking a liking to your tie, master Bruce."

Dick, hanging on the chandelier with Bruce's tie: "wahoo-!"

Bruce: "Dick, get back down here! i need that tie!"

Dick: "catch me if you can, old man!"

Bruce: "Dick, it's Gucci!"

..

Bruce solo camera: "well, that's for today. i love my son with all my heart and thank you for watching. see you later, bye!"

Dick came as the camera faded and ending music started playing: "Bruce, I threw up."

Bruce just finished his work from the batcave at 3.30 a.m only to find Damian eating alone in the kitchen.

Bruce: "Damian? what're you doing? you're not asleep, tomorrow is school day."

Damian: "I'm eating, father. this is important."

Bruce: "why did you need to eat this.. early? late?"

Damian: "it's called suhoor, father. I'm eating my suhoor right now."

Bruce: "ah, i understand. want me to eat with you?"

Damian: "suit yourself."

..

Tim: "Damian, you're not eating your lunch."

Damian: "I don't have any."

Tim: "and why that? Is someone able to take your lunch money?"

Damian: "no, Drake. I'm fasting."

Tim: "Damn, i thought you really got your lunch money stolen."

Damian: "hrn." *walking away.*

Tim: "wow, he didn't even touch his sword to me."

..

Jason, mid sparring: "wow! you're a lot weaker, boy! what happened?"

Damian: "I don't have the energy to continue this spar at this moment. maybe we'll try again at night."

Jason: "... you're not.. saying anything?"

Damian: "i just said, I don't have the energy. let's continue this at night."

Jason: "why did you not cussing me? is this your new way to rail me up, kid?"

Damian: "... I can't. not this month."

..

*At dinner.*

Damian, praying, drinking water, eating some dates then eating his dinner.

Dick: "wow, is this your new diet?"

Tim: "he's fasting, Dick."

Dick: "what?"

Damian: "i suggest you study more about my lineage, Grayson."

..

*one month later.*

Bruce, giving Damian extra pocket money.

Damian: "thank you, father. i have mother and grandfather sending me presents too."

Jason: "what!? why he's getting extra money and we don't?!"

Tim: "yeah, it's kinda unfair ya know? since he's your blood son or whatever."

Dick, walking in: "Damii! here, here's your Eid money, don't spend it carelessly okay!"

Tim: "Eid money?"

Dick: *swinging on the chandelier.* ppft! i can do more than this!

Bruce: *act like about to faint.* oh, ohh! Richard my son! oh, how worried i am seeing you like that, please my son! please come down before anything happens.. t-that chandelier is already 100 years old!

in some files in my head, i hc dick and babs are best friends, they may be a thing at some point, but for some reason, they think it's better not to be together tied in a relationship. and then as dick leading titans, he meets Starfire and has a relationship with her.

i hc kori and babs are friends, not that close friends, but at least they're not made into dick's love rival or envy each other.

Babs coming over to dickkori apt to drop some information files? she stays for more hours just for dick to find them sipping mocktail together, watching mean girls, wearing a matching face mask, and gossiping about anything a girl could have talked about.

dick coming to babs apt? no worries, even when dick stays there for a night, babs always make sure the boy wonder sleeping on the couch and sends the pic to kori.

Injustice AU where Superman wants to keep Batman alive and bring him back to his side, bring the trio back. But Batman is not an easy man, he has a strong principal that is hard to get through. but as Diana pressing Superman to kill Batman, one day he just snapped to Diana, and accidentally killed Batman who wants to protect Diana.

He had this little crush on him one time ago, but since lois is dead together with his unborn child, his only source of love is from playing hide and seek with Batman, and with Batman gone, his life is now empty.

Superman used all his knowledge about the watchtower, and made a portal. he needs to find another Batman. the one that could get him feel alive.

Batman has this.. secret crush for a while now, but the man he loves is going to get married to a woman he loves, Bruce can't do anything other than be happy.

as the other members walk out to celebrate, batman is the only one left to check the teleporter. the teleporter went on, and he heard voices calling him from the other side, with worried in his voice.

Batman walked in and the portal went off, making him completely trapped in a new earth, alone and without anyone knows.

Injustice!Superman met him, and gave him a little request. "Stay on this earth for a month, please. then I'll get you back to your earth. i just need to feel alive."

Batman choose to stay there. for a month, but as Bruce Wayne, not Batman. because this world has it's own Batman.
