    Summary

    So, it didn’t start out like this.

     

    Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-

     

    So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.

     

    It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

    “ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

    --

    A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

    Summary

    He also can’t exactly go licking himself, either— not because he isn’t able to, but because when one is under the mentorship of Batman, one of the aforementioned greatest detectives on Earth, one is likely to be questioned if an injury just vanishes. The first time one of Tim’s battle wounds seems to heal all too quickly, Bruce startles him by asking about it.

    “Uh,” Tim says eloquently, “Er. I suppose it just wasn’t that bad."

    Bruce looks past him at the exact point on the floor of the Batcave where Tim had lost like a pint of blood the day before.

    “Wasn’t that bad,” he echoes dryly.

    [Tim just happens to be a very large, fire-breathing lizard. He manages, until he doesn't.]

    Summary

    Tim is perfectly capable of managing his heats on his own. He doesn’t need an overbearing Bruce nagging at him to take naps and stop doing casework, so Tim heads to Titans Tower.

    Surely no one will bother him here.

    Summary

    “But, if you’re my biological father, then why-” Tim stopped walking and looked up at him with such a desolate expression that Bruce’s breath caught in his chest.

    Bruce swallowed, hard, past the lump in his throat. “Tim, sweetheart, I-”

    Tim cut him off with the side of his clenched fist pounding on Bruce’s chest. Not angry, or combative, but the sad and desperate hit of a child in turmoil.

    “Why.” Tim started again, throwing another weak hit with his fist, tears beginning to well up in his eyes and breaking Bruce’s heart with every second. “Why, if you’re my biological father, am I. So. Short!”
