“dada look!” you grin proudly, bouncing up and down on the heels of your feet as you show of your new haircut done by you in the bathroom mirror with kitchen scissors.

bruce freezes right where he is at the sight of the long hair you’d had growing all gone —probably in a messy heap on one of the bathroom floors.

now you’re cut short, with a proud grin that makes bruce want to melt into the ground instead of scold you.

“sweetheart,” bruce kneels to your level, pulling the scissors from your hand’s carefully. “honey, why did you cut your hair?” he tries gently, brushing some cut hair off your cheek.

you light up like you’ve been waiting for that question. “so we match!” you answer like it’s the obvious answer.

and bruce has to admit your hair was cut like his, shorter on the sides, longer on the top, a little choppy and uneven but you look really happy with yourself, so excited to match with your dad, that bruce cannot find it in himself to lecture you.

“oh, i should’ve known,” bruce hums amused, “but uh.. maybe next time you want a cut i’ll take you to the professionals.”

you only nod along, not actually planning to listen but he doesn’t know that, does he?

“cmon, sweetheart. let’s get this fixed.” bruce smiles, his heart melting when you add.

“but like yours?”

“yeah, honey. like mine.”

BONUS:

“woah, where’d your hair go?” dick snorts, looking down at you, running his hand over your short hair.

“it’s always been like this,” you reply, gaslighting.

“very funny, brat. it hasn’t.”

you don’t reply, just stare at him in a way that makes himself second guess himself. dick looks to tim who merely nods along, “she’s right. it’s always like that.” tim also gaslights.

and dick goes home terribly confused.

last place / sixth place: dick.

seventh place: green lantern

typically when you say green lantern people think john stewart (at least i do idk abt the rest of you) but no, babybat HATES hal jordan. she cannot stand his face.

and by default all green lanterns fall into the same category as him no matter how much she adores john stewart.

but it all started the first time she ever met hal. when she was carefully walking down the slippery steps that lead down the the batcave and she saw the dreaded man eating HER stash of snacks while annoying her dad.

unbelievable and unforgivable.

and from then on all green lanterns have been pure evil to babybat.

sixth place: aquaman.

honestly babybat doesn’t hate the man. she just doesn’t like him either.

like her father she’ll tolerate the atlantean’s loud voice and over the top personality. she’s a little scared of the blond man but you’d never get her to admit it.

plus she loves the ocean, so maybe arthur can climb his way to the top by introducing her to a sea otter?

fifth place: superman

a fan favourite just not her favourite. nothing wrong with clark, she loves hanging around his farm and sleeping over at uncle clark’s house with damian.

but she’s got other priorities that don’t include being blinded by the man’s toothy smiles and pearly white teeth.

again nothing against clark but others are cooler to her.

fourth place: martian manhunter

babybat is probably the most intrigued by the alien from mars. that’s how he got so high up the list, not that he isn’t flattered either way.

j'onn is one of the coolest to her. and the fact bruce respects him so much just adds to the levels of pure fascination the little girl has.

third place: batman

bruce is offended —not that he will ever admit it— that he isn’t first. he’s your father for crying out loud but that doesn’t matter when it comes to this apparently.

he can look at the positives, he’s not ranked below superman and that’s a win right now.

he’s still offended though. he tries everything to push his way to the top but nothing works. no amount of savoury snacks, not even getting you that outrageously expensive toy set your been eyeing.

he’s stuck in third.

second place: wonder woman

babybat’s absolute hero. she’d be number one if the person in number one didn’t exist.

babybat’s admiration for the amazonian woman is incredibly obvious. she lights up whenever diana is mentioned, she could go on a million year rant about why wonder woman is the strongest superhero on the league.

and her admiration stemmed from bruce’s.

first place: the flash

who doesn’t love the flash? if you don’t like him then you’ve made an enemy of babybat.

but to make it clear, we’re talking about wally, not barry. not that she hates barry, but wally is her absolute favourite, no take backs and no changing her mind.

but barry is awesome too. she’d adores the blond as well. matter of fact, she loves all the flash’s, the entire flash family is number one after wally.

no particular reason either, wally west is just her favourite.
