TRIPLE A and SURVIVING DAY BY DAY

Superbat / Blark for pride !!

Don Falcone: I dreamed of this day.

Selina:?

Don Falcone: You're a nice surprise and all kid. Can never have too many kids in a family and daughters, they're precious, ain't they? No, I'm talking about Bruce Wayne.

Selina: You're going to have to run that one by me.

Don Falcone: You two are already a thing. I mean, no pressure but he's a catch, you're a Falcone and... I always wanted to make sure that boy was taken care of. I wanted to make him family and we can do that now.

Selina: We?

Don Falcone: Well, you're my last chance, kid. Sofia doesn't like him or whatever and Alberto... He may be a little off to the side.

Alberto: Homosexual, dad.

Don Falcone: Yeah, yeah, that but Bruce likes the guys too so I tried to set that up but apparently they're both... Y'know. They play the same position on the field.

Alberto: *rolling his eyes*

Selina: And you want me to-?

Don Falcone, nodding: Yes, big big Italian wedding. We can do Lake Como. We will spare no expense. For every grandson, fifteen thousand, every granddaughter, ten or abouts. What do you say, gioia mia?

While he lives a large portion of his life in the public eye, he is still a private citizen. But he’s the prince of Gotham. So when Bruce freaking Wayne calls a press conference, everyone shows up.

Bruce is incredibly nervous, this is going to be a very vulnerable announcement. Something he’s debated for years. But he’s finally worked up the courage, it’s never too late.

“Ahem, if I can have your attention please.”

“Hello everyone, thank you for coming on such short notice.” He greeted the crowd of reporters and eager fans pushing up to the barricade.

Murmurs and giddy expressions. Hungry for the scoop.

“I’m sure you’re all wondering why I’ve gathered you here today, June first of 2026. . .”

“Get on with it already!”

“Alright alright. Settle down.”

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened up, Bruce had a determined expression on his face. Gaze scanning the crowd and cameras, making confident eye contact.

He leaned into the mic dramatically.

“I. . . Am bisexual. I am deeply attracted to men along with women.”

Nobody in the crowd batted an eye. In fact, there were many loud groans and obvious eye rolls. He swore he heard someone say ‘that’s it?.’

“Err. . .” This was not the reaction Bruce was. expecting. Maybe some cheers, a couple protests. He was quite perplexed.

“Dude, we KNOW.”

“We’ve been knowing.”

“Everyone knows you’re dating that one reporter from Metropolis.”

All eyes on the room turned to where Clark was sitting in the front row.

A couple of years after the beetles get to Earth and Stratt and what has survived of the Project Hail Mary's taks force find a way to send the astrophage to venus and the Sun and Earth slowly starts to return to what it was, their satelites start getting Grace blogs.

In the first blogs he is trying to summarize some things abour the taumeba, maybe even throwing some ideas to make it more productive, his original plan was trying to brainstorm some ideas to return what must have been a humancivilization in crisis for almost 3 decades, but with the time is just Grace talking about his scientific discoveries, his life in Erid and just him rambling.

In Earth no one can believe he is alive and well living in an alien planet, and in a way Grace little blog become something that helps people to reconnect, it is not only a scientific report, it is a documentary and a reality show all at once of the man that was sacrificed for and by humanity, and now he had find a chance to live, but it is so so far away.

It makes people feel intimate and cared for, because Grace talks to the camara (or write) with such familiarity and ease that it just makes you feel close to him and that make you feel close to those who also watched it.

The blogs and the Earth are year appart. Humans are able to see it now, but for Grace those blogs were done years ago, and even when he seems to have done them each week or so, they can't know when they are just going to stop, so they tresure them.

Some things I think Grace would have share in this blogs:

He would explain how he is able to live in Erid, talking about the biodome, the me-burgers and eating taumeba.

He would do a tour around the biodome.

He would speak of the classes he is preparing for the pebbles, because eridians are so smart but they haven't covered all the faces.

He would talk about Eridian biology and culture he had got to learn through time.

He would show the xenonite and also some experiments he had done with it.

He would show a lot of experiments he does in his free time.

He would confess the things he miss of Earth.

He would say that even when the Hail Mary can go back to Earth that he would not do so, because there is so much to learn in Erid, and opportunities like this only come once in the life.

There would be also more personals blogs.

Grace presenting his pebbles students, calling list, while the pebbles come to the front to pose and say hi to the camera.

Grace making jokes to Rocky, or making one of those videos of "showing Rocky things he has never "see" before".

Grace showing Rocky's mate just ot have to go very far away so the camera is able to catch the whole body of Adrian, who waves happily.

Grace showing off the jewlerly that eridians have gift to him, and other gifts that he is not sure what they are but still keep.

Grace crying while showing two little pebbles in his hands, while Rocky is standing besides him and tells that those are his and Adrian's pebbles and one is named Mary and the other is named Grace, and Grace crying harder.

A blog of him trying to get in the atmosphere of Erid (using a suit of course) to then realize that everything is pitch black and that even with the flahlight he has he can see little more than eridinas, walking in and out of his range of sight. Then saying "Nop, I'm not doing this" and turning back to his biodome.

Extra + Simon:

If Simon appears submarine get to Erid, Grace would do a lot of blogs about it like:

A video about how the submarine from outside and he recording the exact moment in which he sees for the first time the bloody unconscious man inside, while everything that can be heard is Grace going "oh god, oh god, that is blood, that is so much blood."

A blog of Grace trying to understand how the submarine got there at all.

Grace making a little tutorial of how to avoid radiation and how to deal with it.

Grace pointing all the mutations and pecularities he had found in the sleeping body of the man of the submarine. He is missing an arm, and has pointy teeth.

Everyone in earth trying to do theories of what the heck is that man.

Grace recording his first meeting with the- now conscious and not longer bloody- man, just to have in video the exact moment that he says :"an angel?" to then deny, start screaming about mind games and jump over Grace.

The usual constant blogs stopping for a while, and the people on Earth thinking that the man killed Grace.

Grace returning just to look like he is about to get a psychotic episode, while he is showing a board with calculations and questions and he procedes to explain how the multiverse may work.

literally everything about this is Bruce Wayne to me like the movements, the body type, etc it's just so him

and NOW i'm imagining this is something he learned to do in his travels, and for whatever reason the JL is in a position where he has to do this as a distraction/cover-up and Clark is too mesmerized to do anything but watch

Oh my, this man is amazing! Definitely what Bruce would look like!

Bruce uses his dancing to distract the whole room while the League sneaks in somewhere(could be on a different planet where they need to be careful to not start a war), and it works a little too well, because Clark is frozen in one place, staring at the way Bruce moves his whole body. He's practically drooling.

And Bruce notices, of course he does, and has the audacity to wink at Clark.

Clark whimpers.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

Anyways... Somehow, he finds himself turned back in time. But, instead of adopting all of them again.

He didn't.

He changed the course of their fate by calling Superman to save Richard and his parents. Hunting Sheila and getting the help she needs, thus preventing Jason from stealing his tires. Befriending Drake's and slowly steered their parenting skills (He didn't think he was a good parent either. Why would the kids hate him so much, if he did.) and swooping down to save them from their deaths. Letting Barbara and her father adopt Cassandra. And saving Duke's parents from Joker.

The only left was Damian. He infiltrates the LoA and takes him. He nearly gave him up but had a second thought and decided against it. He raised Damian as his only son.

But then, he found a mate (if this is an Omegaverse. This can be a Superbat as well. Dunno) have a child with the said mate and took this as a second chance to become a great parent.

But, the former Wayne kids someday opened their eyes and remembered their former life. Heartbroken, they saw how happy Bruce and Damian were with their new Family.

I don't know if I should let them reconcile? Or leave the angsty - angst.

Pps. I'm the one who wrote the hand movement and eye movement thingy. Thank you for being nice.

Anon baby you are breaking my heart why would I not be nice?

- i lowk want endgame brutalia but you said superbat, so

"He looks happy," Dick murmurs, closing his eyes and turning away. Jason puts a hand on his shoulder, leaning into the touch to take comfort from it himself. Catherine got shunted into rehab years ago, Willis got a job at Wayne Enterprises, and he grew up in a stable home. He doesn't have quite the same bulk as before, even if he took after Willis' large frame. Blue eyes water as he too turns away from the manor.

Tim plucks the binoculars from Dick's slack grip, and steps up next to Cass, peering through the gates to the manor.

Damian, only ten, and so much more a child than he was the first time around, howls with laughter between Bruce and Clark, standing on Bruce's shoulders to duel Clark as he walks upside down on the ceiling, their wooden swords coming together over and over. Smiles abound, and it makes a weight settle in the stomachs of their spectators.

Their spectators that three weeks ago, regained memories of the previous timeline, before Bruce was sent back, before it diverged, before their dad decided not to be their dad anymore.

"Why are we here?" Cass asks, turning her back on the manor. "He doesn't want us anymore."

Dick stands abruptly, and Haley's Circus' best aerialist clears the tall fence in one bound, and stalks off down the driveway.

None of them are vigilantes, in this life.

All of them find a way over that fence.

Dick pounds his fist on the door, and the laughter drifting out the open windows ceases. The lock clicks. The door creaks.

Clark Kent stands in the foyer of his home, and the smile drops from his face. In a flash, they're all back outside the gates, which he's easing closed behind them.

"Supes--"

"No, Timothy," Clark says. There is no familiarity in his voice. "Bruce tried so hard to keep you away from him in this life. Please. He-- He tried so hard to give you the lives you deserve, please don't tell me it failed."

"Three weeks ago," Jason explains tersely. "We got our memories from the last life. We're not sure why."

"CLARK!"

Clark flinches, and twitches in place. "Why are you here?"

"He's our father," Jason growls. Clark pinches his nose.

"But he's not. He made sure of that. And you guys-- you being here, he'll think he failed. He won't be able to cope with failing you all again."

"He didn't fail us the first time!" There is no love lost between this Dick Grayson, and this Superman. Uncle Supes is a ghost of a memory. "He is ours."

"He is my husband," Clark counters. "And he has spent his whole life devoted to you kids. Please don't make it in vain."

"CLARK!"

Closer.

Bruce is coming.

"PAPA!"

"Damian," Cass breathes.

Clark flinches again, but stays steadfast.

"Does he know about us?" Tim whispers, gazing towards the manor.

Clark nods. "Bruce... he couldn't keep you a secret. He didn't try. Damian has met you all, over time. He wanted to see what you were like."

"Please, Clark. He's our brother."

Clark wavers. "He never wanted this. He wanted...from afar. To be unknown."

"He's our father."

Clark strokes a hand over his face. "Not here! That was the whole point! You remember, right? So you remember cursing at him, and pushing him away, and telling him he wasn't your father! He listened, like you begged him to, and stopped. He did what you wanted, and now I am begging you." Clark swallows. "I am begging you kids. Please don't make him think that he failed you all over again."

"Clark!" Bruce yells again. More cautious, and Cass watches a glimpse of his silhouette through the trees, carefully advancing. "Honey?" A smaller figure stalks through the underbrush, approaching from the other side, and Dick can't take his eyes off it.

"Please."

This is their chance. If they race for the bend in the lane now, Bruce and Damian won't see them.

But...

Can they give this up?
