Finn has always been the baby of the family, and none of his family saw him as anything but the young boy he was many years ago. That’s why when they saw Finn in the late afternoon with a little boy, who couldn’t be older than five, they just about had heart attacks. 

There’s no way their baby brother Finn had a kid. He was still a damn kid himself! 

Thankfully, it was John who spotted Finn first and took it upon himself to spy on his little brother. Over the course of a couple of days, John saw Finn with this little boy at the bakery, at the park, and at school. It was at that point that John decided the rest of the family deserved to know.

“Did you see Finn’s kid?” John said after a few too many drinks, after a late night at the Garrison. Arthur, Polly, and Tommy were there, and Finn himself was notably absent once again after saying he had a long day for the fifth time that month; the month was only half over. 

“His fuckin what?” Arthur screamed, slamming his glass back onto the table.

“He’s just a child, John!” Polly interrupted, “Of course, he doesn’t have a kid.”

“I saw him with me own eyes,” John said a little lower, leaning forward with his forearms on the table. “Kid can’t be older than five, but I saw Finn and the kid going round this place. I even saw Finn at the school! I didn’t even think Finn knew where it was!”

“I don’t believe that,” Tommy chuckled lightly for once. 

“Then ask him during the family meeting tomorrow,” John offered.

The next day, everyone was on the lookout for Finn before the meeting. Usually on these days, he would be in the shop. Where was he? With you and Denny.

“Can you please pass the green crayon, Finn?” Denny asked, looking up towards you and Finn from his spot on the floor. He was laying on his stomach, colouring a couple of papers for a class project. Draw something that makes you happy. 

“Sure thing, buddy,” Finn said, leaning away from you to toss the green crayon over to the boy. “Do we get to see it yet?”

“No!” Denny replied loudly as he threw his arms over the paper to keep you and Finn from seeing it. “I’m not done yet!”

“But we don’t even get a peek?” Finn teased, jokingly leaning around to try and see a bit of the paper.

“It’s not ready yet!” Denny argued back as he threw his entire body over the paper. “You can’t look at it yet!”

“Finn, leave him be,” You chuckled, grabbing his shoulder to pull him up to lean back on the couch with you. “He’ll show us when he’s ready.”

‘But I wanna see it now,” Finn dragged out with a smile, showing that he was joking as he leaned his head on your shoulder. “I have to leave soon, and I don’t wanna miss seeing it.”

“Why can you stay every night?” Denny asked innocently, moving his big brown eyes up to Finn.

“I have to work like your mummy,” Finn answered after a second of hesitation. “I have my own place that I have to stay at, too. My bed misses me if I’m gone too long.”

“We should have a sleepover at your house, Finn!” Denny proposed jumping up and throwing himself across your and Finn’s laps. “We could play games. We could go swimming.”

“You don’t know how to swim-” You tried to add, but Denny just kept listing things off over you.

“We could drink hot chocolate. We could have a dance party. We could stay up all night, and we could have so much fun, Finn!” Denny cheered, barely able to contain his excitement as he bounced in your laps. “Can we please, Finn? It would be so fun!”

“I’ll have to see,” Finn responded, not exactly turning it down. “Now, I would love to stay, but I have to go work. I’ll call after and see what you two are up to.”

Denny threw a bit of a fit after Finn left, but you knew it was family business. Denny was too young to understand, but you did this to protect him. His father wasn’t the best (actually he was a real piece of shit by anyways), and Finn treated you and Denny like you were the centres of his universe. You couldn’t take that away from him. You made Denny one of his favorite snacks to cheer him up and tide him over until dinner.

Finn barely made it on time. Maybe he was a couple of minutes late, but they obviously hadn’t started when he walked in. Actually, when he walked in, everyone went silent. Finn didn’t think twice before moving in, going to his normal spot in the room, and leaning against the wall.

“Business first,” Tommy started before turning his full attention to Finn, pointing an accusing finger at him. “You. You need to man up.”

“What did I do?” Finn blurted out, pushing himself away from the wall to approach Tommy. “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“If you’re ever going to be useful in this business, the least you can do is man up and admit that you got a girl pregnant,” Arthur added, coming over to clap Finn on the back.

“I did not,” Finn immediately denied as he looked confused between his brothers. They all continued to stare at him, unmoved. “Okay, if I did, I don’t know about it!”

“Like hell you do!” John erupted, slamming his hand on the table. “I fuckin’ saw it!”

“You saw what?” Finn screamed, silencing everyone in the room.

“You and the kid,” John responded. “I saw you and the kid. Don’t play stupid, alright, cause I saw you. Just be honest.”

“Me and the…” Finn trailed off before realizing who they were talking about. It hit him like a ton of bricks. “Wait…do you mean the boy that’s,” Finn paused before gesturing with his hand a height that was right around his knees, “yey tall?”

“Yeah, looks just like you from what I’ve heard,” Tommy answered after watching John nod immediately.

“He’s not my blood, but he’s mine,” Finn smiled more to himself than anything. “That’s Denny. He’s my girlfriend’s kid. The dad was a real dickhead, knocked her up and left before she knew. Been with her since we were 18, and I’ve been helping raise him.”

“Why didn’t you say anything?” Polly asked, her motherly instincts kicking in.

“I didn’t even know he had a girl,” Arthur chuckled under his breath.

“It’s our work,” Finn defended, “It’s not safe, and the last thing I need is either of them in danger.”

“That’ll do, Finn,” Tommy spoke with authority as he walked up and put a hand on his shoulder. “You’re serious?”

“Deadly.”

“Alright then,” Tommy said, commanding the room’s attention. “We expect to meet them soon.”

About a week later, you walked towards the Garrison with Denny’s hand tightly grasped in yours. Denny just got out of school, and Finn had been talking about you meeting his family a lot more recently. You didn’t even opt to stop at your apartment first as you held Denny’s satchel.

“Mummy, are we going to see Finn?” Denny asked, tugging lightly on your arm. “I want to show him my drawing.”

“Of course, we are,” You replied with enthusiasm. Denny got his drawing back, and Denny didn’t want you to see it without Finn, so you were excited to see it too. You rounded another corner as the Garrison came into view, and Finn was already standing outside for you two. “And look who it is.”

“Finn!” Denny shouted, dropping your hand and running into Finn’s open arms.

“Hey, buddy!” Finn cheered as he lifted Denny in the air, while you walked a little slower to them. Finn rested Denny against his hip like a natural and looked at you just as you approached them. “Hey, sweetheart. How was work?”

“As it always is,” You sighed, grabbing Finn’s other arm and leaning into his side. “Are you ready for this?”

“Wait! I want to show you my picture!” Denny shouted, wiggling in Finn’s arms to be put down. He obliged, and you handed Denny his satchel. He dug through it for a second, and while he was doing that, a couple of family members - all of them - walked out of the Garrison after seeing a new girl and little boy standing with Finn. Seeing the little moment in progress, they opted to stay closer to the door and just peek around it.

Denny finally got it out and held it in front of himself proudly as you and Finn took it all in. Your eyes darted to Finn to see him holding back tears. Sure, it was no Mona Lisa (what else would you expect from a five-year-old?), but it was a little stick figure family. A girl with your eyes and hair colour on one side labeled “Mummy”, a little boy who looked just like Denny labeled “Me”, and a boy in a suit and peaky cap labeled “Daddy”. 

“I love it, buddy,” Finn whispered, reaching to pull Denny into a hug.

“I didn’t know how to ask,” Denny whispered back, still slightly afraid as he glanced over at you, “Is it okay if I call him daddy?”

“Of course, you can, baby,” You comforted, leaning in to place a kiss on the top of his head. “As long as Finn-”

“Of course, buddy!” Finn cut you off with a teasing smile as he held Denny closer to him at stood up, shielding your own child from you. “Don’t get jealous now, cause I think I just became the favorite parent.”

“Oh great, my boyfriend and my son against me,” You rolled your eyes at the two, but you held a wide smile on your face as Finn spun Denny around a few more times. Then, he stopped when someone cleared their throat from the doorway.

“Looks like you manned up,” The center one said before turning his attention to you. “Nice to meet you. I’m Thomas.”

Here's a link to my other F2/F3 stories :)

As always, my requests are OPEN

The two of you continued to skate around the ice rink for a while until you were starting to lose the feeling in your extremities due to the bitter winter evening. Even though you were both wrapped up warm, being on the ice certainly didn’t help the matter so you both decided it would be for the best if you took a break from the skating and made the most of the hot chocolate kiosk near the entrance of the rink.

Dick bought you both a hot chocolate and asked if you wanted to take a walk around the park whilst you drunk them and you happily obliged. You hooked your arm with his, holding your hot chocolate in the other hand as you made your way around the park, enjoying the winter views. You stopped by a clearing at the far end of the park and just observed the frost covered grass and beauty of winter.

“It is really beautiful,” you smiled, curling yourself closer to him, partially to help fight the chilling evening of the winter, but also because you enjoyed being close to him.

“Nothing could be as beautiful as you,” he smiled at you, his words making himself nervous as he feared you would consider him a fool for his compliment.

You couldn’t help your cheeks becoming warmer. Although you had been happy together in the dates you had had together, you still doubted whether he did like you in the same way that you liked him or if it was a one sided interest on your part. You didn’t know what you were meant to say to him, not feeling capable of thanking him for the compliment and not sure how to return the compliment without falling over your words but before you were able to say anything, Dick spoke again.

“Can I kiss you?” He asked, taking a chance.

In the previous four dates, you hadn’t gone further than a goodnight hug, hand holding and gentle arm touches. You certainly weren’t against kissing him, but you were far too nervous to make the first move, so this was very relieving that he took the leap to ask you for your first kiss together.

“How long?”

Bruce’s voice is sudden and it surprises his assistant (and secret girlfriend) Y/N L/N. She was currently marking out his schedule for the next week when he’d started speaking. She’d jumped in reaction.

“Pardon?” She asks sweetly.

“How. Long.” He says, teeth gritted together. Y/N is confused.

“How long what?” She asks.

“How long have you been selling company information-“ Bruce starts.

“What?!” Y/N exclaims, shocked.

“-to LexCorp?” He finishes.

“What the hell are you talking about, Bruce?!” Y/N asks, actually angry.

“You’re selling company secrets to LexCorp!” Bruce accuses angrily.

“No, I’m not!”

“Oh, so you’re just giving them away, then.” Bruce scoffs, his voice bitter.

“If you knew me-like, *really* knew me, that thought would never have come to mind.” She hisses. Bruce shakes his head.

“I wouldn’t have thought of it if you hadn’t given me a reason!” He snarls back. She shoots him a glare so poisonous that any other man would shrivel up and die from the ferocity of it, then shakes her head.

“Everyone told me Gotham was bad.” She mutters. She tosses the quarter written up schedule onto his desk and begins to gather her things. “I should have listened.”

She strolls over to the coatrack and yanks her camel coat off of it angrily, putting it on.

“If you haven’t guessed, I quit.” She snarls.

When she leaves, she slams the door behind herself.

- - - - -

A year later, Bruce sits quietly in his office in Wayne Enterprises’ main building. A series of newspapers that he almost couldn’t bear to look at sat on his desk-no, scratch that, he couldn’t. Not after what he’d received two months before.

LEX LUTHOR SEEN WITH BRUCE WAYNE’S PA?

LEX LUTHOR AND Y/N L/N - ARE THEY TOGETHER?

INGENIOUS ENGINEER LUTHOR AND PRINCESS OF METROPOLIS DATING?

IT’S OFFICIAL! L/N AND LUTHOR RESPOND TO RELATIONSHIP RUMOURS

LUTHOR AND L/N ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT!

It’s the last one that really gets him. Once she’d left, the mole in the company had continued her work until she’d been caught using Y/N’s computer, unaware that she’d quit earlier that week. With Y/N’s known location being Metropolis (and the secrets were taken directly for the main building) there was no way that she’d done it.

Bruce glances at the newspaper delivered that morning before letting it drop with a soft *smack!*. He buries his face in his hands and begins to sob.

SAY HELLO TO NEWLYWEDS LEX AND Y/N!
