WUC!Batfam meet OG!Batfam.
Hello! So after reading Wash-Up Celebrity Bruce, I got like, hooked on it like a fish and never threw it back to the water and got to consume it because I love this story so much and thank you @ultraviolettefan for bringing this story to the world and now I can't stop thinking about the crossover like every typical dimensions cross—
Freaking recommend it to read. So now we have WUC!Batfamily meets the OG Batfamily but I should tell you guys that I spend too much time on fanon instead of canon. My head goes brrr— and I will sort it in colour so you won't be confused. Again, it's going to be like ooc, I'm sorry. And this is during part 4, where Bruce and Cassandra have to find the kids while they are exploring in the 'cave'.
Update: I just fucking read the part 5.
Another update: So uh guys... I am such an idiot not to know fruit bats have mega size. I didn't know that because I envisioned it's a small fruit bat at UV part 4 post. I googled it already and fruit bats came from many sizes (there are big and small sizes) so I felt relief from that. Hopefully there is no misunderstanding haha. I'm sorry.
Note: I will take a criticism comment as my way to improve for the next part. And English is not my first language and I'm trying. My English is not very...expansive.
While Bruce is spending time with Cass, the boys discover a cave and go in to explore out of curiosity. Little did they know, something happened to the cave that made them feel dizzy the moment they stepped in. It's like...the kind that makes them feel like a sense of deja vu but it's not, they never been here before.
As they kept exploring, so far behind the entrance, something changed in this cave.
It's dim and getting darker the moment they travel so far as there is no light above. Except they saw some fruit bats. Damian squealed at the sight and pointed them out. Jumping in excitement, he wanted to get closer. Dick stopped his little brother from getting further away from his sight. How will he explain to mom if he lost Damian during cave exploration.
Maybe they should have brought flashlight. Speaking of flashlight, there's a light from another cave entrance in front of them. A tunnel. Hmm... They don't know the feeling about it but it looks dangerous. They rather not get lost with no supplies.
Tim, gulp: "Uhh... Aren't we going too far? We should head back.."
Dick: "Yeah.. you're right. I think we traveled enough. Come on, let's go back before mom gets worried."
The boys turned and headed back where they came in. Suddenly, they were shocked to see the entrance was nowhere to be found as if it was never there. Jason felt uneasy because he knows it was there because he is the last person to go in the cave.
Jason, confused: "Wait wait wait- didn't we just walk from that entrance like 5 minutes ago!?"
Dick, being the oldest and needed to think a way out: "Well we have to find a way to... Wait where's Damian??"
The three looked around, no Damian on their sight. Dick panicked as he told the others to stay where they are and find Damian before he gets lost. Dick grabs a dead branch on the ground just in case they encounter something dangerous.
Dick: "Stay here, I'll go find Damian!"
Tim, followed him: "Wait! Can't we just go together??"
Jason hesitantly looks at the entrance that suspiciously became a wall then back to them as they are getting far from him.
Jason, quickly ran towards them: "Wait guys! Wait for me!!"
Damian wandered aimlessly in the area where there were lots of fruit bats above him. Not knowing his two brothers and a new friend(?) trying to look for him. One of the fruit bats flies down as he giggles and tries to capture it.
Damian, giggling: "Hehe Batsy!"
Damian ran after it and successfully caught the fruit bat (which was a surprise for his toddling height), the bat stared in confusion and it made a clicking sound. He smiled, he can't wait to show his mama!
Damian, turn around to show it: "Look! I caught the—.."
He looked around and saw no one with him. He whimper.
Damian, hug the fruit bat: "Jay Jay? Didi..?"
Damian looked around, left to right as he realized he walked far from them and got lost. His eyes glint with tears in fear.
Damian, shouted through the cave: "JAY JAY! DIDI!!"
So he started walking, he doesn't know which direction but it's the only way to find out. But there's a tunnel that has some light shines in the distance. COULD IT BE THE EXIT?! So he ran towards the path as his footprints created a dent to the ground.
The bat keeps squeaking and clicking but it doesn't seem to bite, just bark. It gives up and lets the toddler make his way.
While Damian reaches the exit, he notices the light becomes...blue? Moreover, to his disappointment, it's not the exit. It's another cave to another big cave. However, something is different from the former.
The toddler looked up as he witnessed the cave getting bigger, spacious; more like a bit advanced and quiet... Is that humming? Something's humming!! He saw some kind of blue line lights. Beautiful. There is some kind of large platform... He thinks he is somewhere below.
Damian, struck in awe: "Wa..."
Fruit bat, mouth gap: *Squeak*
Damian looked around and found the stairs. He reached his way up and saw something cool on the way. There are cars, some gadgets and he saw...something he doesn't know— is that a giant dinosaur?!? (I don't know about the bat cave diagram so I just watched Batwheels and happened to get some tours from the episodes)
Furthermore, he quickly waddles his way and examines the dino statue. Is this...an underground museum mama had?? Why didn't he talk about this?!
Damian, petting the fruit bat: "Look batty! A dino!"
He heard someone call him and turned to look at...
Damian, tilt head, smiled and showed the fruit bat like an achievement badge: "Mama? MAMA LOOK I GOT A BAT!"
Bruce is shocked, not only he called him 'Mama' but HOW DID HE BECAME A TODDLER?!? Wait, Damian just went out to patrol with Dick. Wait...did they have a magic encounter incident?? Wait where's Dick?! He should have been back if Damian's here.
Bruce, internally panic and trying to appear calm: "Oracle, I need an update on Nightwing and Robin."
Bruce quickly walks up to little Damian, who is confused including the fruit bat, and carries him to his arms. Checking to see if there's any injury or something gone wrong in patrol. He stared at the fruit bat that stared at him.
Damian, let Bruce carry him: "Mama, what is oracle?"
Bruce: "What? Oh Habibi, let go of the fruit bat, you're going to hurt its wings."
Damian whined but before he could let it go, the computer dings, he walk to the computer when
Oracle: "They're still on a stakeout. Vitals are okay. Why? What happened?"
Bruce tilted his head and looked back at Damian who is in HIS arms, whining about letting go of the bat that he just caught and tears swelling up his eyes. Bruce quickly soothes his back.
Oh my gosh, he is so cute. Bruce wishes he could take a picture but this is important and this needs to be solved now. And if Damian is out then how did this Damian get here. And so young.
Oracle: "...Is that a kid? Wait B—"
Welp. Time for a meeting.
Bruce, clear throat: "We have a situation. Call the others to come back after they finish their patrol."
Barbara didn't try to ask because she knows it's going to be revealed anyways (she hacked the cameras). So she give him an okay and tell the others.
Bruce looks at the toddler that gives him a docile, boba eyes but Bruce is already immune... yeah he folds but this bat gotta go. He gives him a look. Damian huffed and let go of the bat as it flew away, giving a wave of goodbye.
Damian, giving himself distance to look at his 'Mama' better, holding his shoulders for balance: "Mama, you look different."
Bruce can't question the 'Mama' thing but he can ask this. He put his hand on Damian's back so he won't fall off.
Bruce: "What do you mean?"
Damian, look down: "You wear a suit. And you look old."
Bruce stopped himself from flinching, he expected that from his children but not this one. But it does confirm, through every possibility and theories in his head, this is...dimension incident.
While Bruce and Damian are having their time. Dick, Jason and Tim are still on the other side of the cave, trying to find Damian. They would be losing their minds if they didn't discover Damian's footprints and considering he loves animals, the fruit bats above are their first step. So it's a win-win.
Dick, points the middle entrance out of three tunnels with a dead branch: "He went that way."
The footprints show the toddler went through the tunnel where they can see the light in the distance. Exit?
Jason: "Yeah, I'm not going. Haha.. you know there is no way that's what an exit looks like. Suspiscious, am I right?"
Tim: "But Damian could be in there."
Dick: "Then that means he's not so far from us."
Dick walks toward the tunnel entrance, Damian's footprints only shows one way, it means he didn't turn back.
Dick, brows furrowed: "Look we gotta get him before mum gets worried. All of us. He could notice we're gone and be looking for us right now. The plan is simple, we get Damian and we find our way back to get out of this cave."
Jason, sigh: "Yeah good point."
Tim, nodded, determined: "We should go now."
The trio went in the tunnel and noticed something strange as if it was forming something...larger? And the light is getting brighter and blue-ish. Wait what? Blue?
Finally, they got through the tunnel and saw ...another cave. Great.
Jason: "I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT'S ANOTHER CAVE ENTRANCE! I KNEW IT"
The boys turn around and froze as they stared at the giant man with a red helmet- IS THAT GUNS?? OH MY GOSH HE HAD GUNS!!!
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Jason, hands out, take a few steps forward,: "Woah- holy shit! Chill out!"
Dick, without thinking, letting out a battle cry to swing the big dead branch, aiming for the man's waist. However, the man dodged and grabbed the branch away from the kid's hands and grip the boy's wrist. Dick wriggled his wrist to get out of the older's grip.
Dick: "LET ME GO!! STRANGER DANGER!X2"
Jason's roundhouse kicks the man's calf, making the man hiss and nearly bend forward.
Jason and Tim pounce like a tiger hunts their prey. Tim climbs on Jason's back to cover his helmet- whatever it was that he assumed where his sight was. Jason punch/jab where the opening is.
Dick already learns self defense and uses his acrobatic skill to swing himself up, using his weight on Jason's arms and strangle the man's neck by using his legs. A headlock technique. Jason tries to stay upright in balance, trying not to fall by this children's battle. He cussed.
Jason: "SHIT THIS KIDS ARE A NIGHTMARE!! HELP-"
"BOYS! STOP THIS AT ONCE!!" The familiar voice finally shouted through their ears to get their attention.
They froze and looked up except for Jason who got covered by Tim's hand and tried to move his head..
Bruce (in an inner black outfit) with Damian in his arms, who seem to be melted in Mama's arms and about to sleep, stared at the scene with Dick, Damian, Cass, Steph, Duke and Tim (phone in hands, recording) trying to stifle their laughs and/or some concern looks, standing on either Bruce's side.
It took them a full minute to recover from it. Jason tried to flap his arms to get rid of Dick but he got down and then the next thing that happened wasn't what they expected.
Dick & Jason, run to him and hug his waist: "MAMA!!"
Tim, joins in: "Ma- Bruce! Sir-"
Bruce huff, looks down at them, ruffling their hairs with his free hand. The kids tighten their hugs.
All except Bruce & the kids: "What?"
Barbara had been watching through the cameras and recording it with a grin: "Oh how I love being alive."
