Yandere Batfam & neglected Batsib
I know this concept has been done a lot but let me just throw my idea to the pile. This is dark, not the darkest but it's not light so please know your limits before reading it. And as always, enjoy the show!
Also, even if it's technically a reader insert, Batsib is you but I don't really like writing in that perspective (Like: you did this and someone told you that), and I want to make Batsib as neutral as possible, they are still queer in some way. Happy pride!
Warnings: Neglect; Suicide attempt; Homophobia/Transphobia; Drunk Batsib
Batsib who is the only one in the family who doesn't fight crime like the others. They just exist in the manor, completely self sufficient for the whole time they were under Bruce's wing. they were adopted in their older teens so they had a personality formed and didn't need them as much as if they were younger
Around the manor, they are known as the person who one could go cry to. Had a difficult patrol? Batsib would be there to clean the wound. Civilian life was pissing you off? Batsib was there as a shoulder to cry on.
Even for the ones older than them, like Bruce or Dick, would lean on them for some sort of emotional support, even if it wasn't so obvious
But no one knew anything about them
Bruce: "Have you been thinking about college? I was told of some that have good psychology courses"
Batsib: "But I don't want to go to psychology. I told you the course I want to :("
Bruce didn't thought much about that conversation, he must have mixed his children's courses.
But in the end that's all the family saw them as: Emotional support. the shoulder to cry on. No one ever worried about their own mental health
That was until one afternoon where no one saw Batsib for hours.
Cass was the first to get agitated, she had seen how different Batsib was acting for the last few days so she was the first to raise the family's attention.
Cass: "Batsib has been weird lately." Tim: "Now that you mention it, they should have been back hours ago"
Batsib was a person of schedules and routine. They'd always warn the family if the littlest thing changed in their day and they were going to be out. So everyone freaked out a little bit
Dick: "Call them then! What if they got hurt?!" Duke: "On it!"
Damian: "I'm sure our sibling is capable of defending themself. You're all overreacting"
Despite his words, Damian was worried, everyone was.
They still cared for Batsib even if they knew nothing about their life.
Duke: "Hey guys⦠Remember the Pride parade that took place a few days ago?⦠Batsib was spotted there, like, flag in the cheek and all"
Duke turned his phone to the others and open the article that popped right as he opened his phone
"The newest Wayne is spotted at pride parade with XXX flag painted on the cheek and the internet has a lot to say about it"
They sure did. The comments were wild, ruthless.
And to. make matters worst, no one in that room knew about it! Batsib never told them a word about it.
Tim: "I can't believe we didn't know this! How could they have never told me this, I would've helped"
Damian: "Would you? No one here talks to them if we don't have something to get in return"
The room fell silence for a few seconds. Called out by an 11 years old.
Cass: "If they didn't felt safe enough to tell us this⦠How would they react to these comments?"
No one had the answer. No one knew Batsib well enough to predict their reaction.
And when the Batcomputer started to beep, everyone knew deep inside of them that it is bad
Batsib's smartwatch, who was modified to periodically sent their location, heart beat and other metrics to the cave for their safety, warned of them leaving the perimeters of Gotham.
All of the bats felt their heart sink. There was nothing worth going outside of Gotham⦠and the little red point on the map that was the Batsib was slowly approaching a cliff
Bruce never suited up faster. He just found out he failed yet another one of his children, he's not going to lose another one of his children again too
Every bat followed right behind until they reached the cliffs behind Gotham
And there Batsib was, drunkenly crying right on the edge of their death
The Bats stopped, everyone of them unsure how to proceed next. How could they? If they had protected Batsib better, this wouldn't have happened .
If only they had given their own shoulder for the teen to cry on, they would've known about their queerness, alcohol problems and suicide ideas. But they didn't.
That would change.
Even if it meant locking them up in the manor to protect them for paparazzi. Or taking their phone away so they can't read any more mean, rude, or cruel comments
From now one they will be the ones taking care of Batsib's emotions and make sure this situation never happens again.
But for now, Bruce carries his black out drunk teen back to their bed with his other children following right behind
Damian: "Will they be alright, father?" Bruce: "They will. They have to"
Dick: "I can't believe we messed up so badly"
Duke: "How could we miss behavior like this? Did we really pay so little attention to them?"
Tim: "This will never happen again"
Cass holds Batsib's hand, unwilling to let go or leave the room
The family dreaded to call Jason to tell him what had happened. The man was already protective of Batsib as it was. After this? No one even wanted to imagine the rage he was about to go through
Hope you enjoyed it, I'm not really that used to make fanfics or anything that isn't with my own characters so I'm still getting used to the fear of writing someone super out of character.
Requests are open!!
