Chapter Text
Bruce was content with his life. The crime rate in Gotham had gone down in recent years and after the whole thing with Jokerized people being everywhere he ended up with four new adoptive children; Duke, Terry, Carrie, and Matt. Well foster children. Duke was the only teen and he was a brilliant young man with a heart a gold. Terry was like a younger Jason. Carrie was smart and an adorable stubborn tomboy. And Matt was a sweetheart most of the time.
And then his other children were doing well. Dick was already a father of five and married to Barbara. Jason was getting better. Cass recently had a ballet show. Tim just graduated high school. Alina was working on a play for a local theatre trope she joined. Helena was going to start high school after summer. Damian and Athanasia were only twelve yet they were going to start the tenth grade. Hunter was a perfect little prince; of course he was literally a prince thanks to his mother. Lara was very well verse in the act of using her cuteness to avoid getting in trouble. And little Lyta wasn't even a year old.
And then there was his lovers. His beautiful lovers; Diana and Clark. Wonder Woman and Superman.
They were all laying in their bed in his house. They were all public figures so moments like this were rare.
Bruce kissed Diana's forehead. “Diana you need to get up.” He said.
Diana opened an eye and glared. “I am Princess of Themyscira; I awake when I want.”
On the other side of Bruce, Clark chuckled. “You have a EU meeting in two hours, my princess. And Bruce you have Watchtower duty soon.”
“Errr. Clark would you be a dear and get Lyta ready to go then?” Diana said.
“Of course.” Clark said, leaning over Bruce to kiss Diana.
“No kiss for me?” Bruce teased.
Clark rolled his eyes and kissed Bruce.
Diana sat up and kissed Bruce's neck.
And then the bedroom door swung open and in walked Hunter, Terry, Carrie, Lara, and Matt.
“Lyta is crying! Alfred has her but she's still crying!” Hunter screamed.
Clark got out of the bed. “I hear her. I'll go help.”
Bruce and Diana followed him and picked up Lara and Matt as they left the room. The older three followed. It was just another typical night at the Wayne Manor.
Dick crept behind the woman. Carefully he reached his hand forward.
And she grabbed it; flipping him over herself and onto the floor.
“Nice, try Grayson.”
“It's Gordon-Grayson.” Dick smirked at his beautiful wife.
Babs smiled. “You're cute but I can hear that ass clap a mile away.”
Dick sat up. “Don't say that word. There are baby ears here.” With that he covered his own ears.
“Oh come here you big baby.” Babs said. Dick got up to where he could kiss Babs and leaned against her.
“Dad!!” A small voice yelled behind him. He turned to see his oldest child; Mar'i.
“Yes, my little warrior?”
“I can't find the Batman cereal.” She said. Mar'i liked to eat a bowl of a crappy Batman themed marshmallow cereal before bed. The sad fact was that he was the reason the cereal existed; he was ten when he told Bruce he wanted Batman cereal.
“Johnny and Tommy ate the rest of it this morning and I haven't been to the grocery store yet.” Dick said.
“Your dad is a lazy dumbhead sometimes, Mar'i sweetie.” Babs said.
Mar'i giggled. “Okay. I guess I will settle for the Superman cereal that only Jake likes by the way. But tomorrow night I really want the Batman cereal for a bedtime snack.”
“I'll pick some up after I take Thelma to her doctor's appointment tomorrow.” Babs said.
“Yay!” Mar'i flew up and hugged Babs. Dick smiled. With Mar'i and Jake's moms off world on a Justice League mission that left Dick and Babs as their only caregivers for who knows how long.
Kori and him had Mar'i at a young age and when Kori and Donna asked him be the surrogate father for their second child he was happy to help. And Mar'i was happy about Jake.
Mar'i was even more happy when he got pregnant with Tommy and Johnny. And then Thelma.
Babs and him loved their little birdies.
Cass laid down in her bed. The person who was already in said bed voiced her own complaints about being laid on.
“Cassandra!” Harper tired to push her off.
“Tired.” Cass gave Harper some puppy dog eyes.
“So am I but I don't lay on top of you!”
Cass smirked. “You are soft. I want snuggles.”
Harper kissed Cass's cheek. “You're lucky I love you.”
In all her life she never thought she would end up like this; happily snuggling her girlfriend in their shared apartment. Along with their roommates Steph, Cass's best friend and Cullen, Harper's younger brother.
“I love you too, Bluebird.” Cass laid her head down on Harper's chest.
“Aw, Batgirl, you're so cute.” Harper petted her hair.
“So sleepy though.” Cass said.
Harper chuckled and pulled the blanket over Cass. “Es complicado verte. Verte, olerte y pasarte a un lado y querer detenerte. Ay, qué complicado, esto e' demasiado. Pero como el ajedrez. La reina cae alguna vez. Escucha bien mi voz…” Harper sang softly.
“Cullen! I'm going to kill you!” Cass could hear Steph screaming from the kitchen.
“I warn him not to eat he last of Steph's Eggo waffles.” Harper said.
Cass smiled. She and Harper should go make sure Steph is really plotting murder but she was tired; Harper was tired and they had patrol in a few hours.
Selina slipped back into her apartment. Hopefully her girlfriend was still asleep.
“Out again?” A voice came from behind her.
Selina felt someone grab her and found herself pinned to the floor by Talia Al Ghul; assassin and daughter of one of the most dangerous men on earth. And her girlfriend.
“It was supposed to be a surprise.” Selina said.
“You know I hate surprises.”
Selina kissed Talia’s neck. “You won't hate this one. Check my pocket.” With that she wiggled the hip of said pocket.
Talia slowly traced her hand down Selina’s chest. “I really hope this is good.”
“It is.” Selina said as Talia slipped her hand into Selina's pocket.
Talia’s eyes widen as she pulled the surprise out. A ring. An Egyptian ring with with two cat carved into it and between them was an emerald.
“You stole this?”
“I stole a lot more but that stuff is on it's way to where it belongs. I'm hoping no one notices one little ring still missing.” Selina said.
“It’s lovely.” Talia whispered.
“Good, you like it. So Talia Al Ghul, my love, will you marry me?” Selina asked.
“Yes.”
“Really?”
“نعم فعلا"
“I have no idea what you just said.”
Talia laughed and kissed Selina.
Selina smiled when they parted. “Tomorrow we get our kids together and tell them. Holly, Helena, Damian, and Athanasia.”
Talia nodded. “And I'll call my sister later… for now you are all mine and I'm yours.”
Selina pulled Talia into another kissed as two people climbed into the living room through the window.
“Mom! Make out with your girlfriend in your room.” Helena shierked.
“I hate living here.” Holly said.
“If that was true you would have moved out years ago.” Selina said.
Tim sighed as Kon poked him. “I'm working babe.”
“You've been working for three days straight. It's time for a break.” Kon said.
Tim looked up at his boyfriend. “Two children went missing last week and yes they got returned after the ransom was paid. What if another kid goes missing because I wasn't working towards figuring out who did this?”
“You have a big family. They got you covered, caffeine crusader.”
Tim sighed. “Fine. I will take a break. But I'm not sleeping. I slept earlier.”
Kon cracked a slight smile. “Oh baby, I can help with that. How about we take a quick shower and we slip into something more comfortable. I'm thinking leather for me and lace for you.”
Tim nodded, pulling Kon into a lazy but deep kiss. He was really glad he got his own personal apartment without Bruce knowing so he could have private moments with Kon. His Superboy.
Jason looked at who he was stuck on patrol with. Children. Literally children.
He should have known he was going to be stuck with them when he agreed to do an earlier patrol for Tim.
“I can hear your annoyance.” Duke said. Jason looked at the dude.
“And I can hear your voice cracking.”
“After this we should go to Bat Burger.”
“Good idea kid. I love me some Jokerized fries. Despite the irony.” Jason said.
Duke smiled. “That seasoning is pretty good.”
“Hey brats! We're ditching patrol!” Jason yelled at Alina, Damian, and Athanasia.
“But won't dad be mad?” Alina asked.
“I'd rather looked for a fight than do whatever idea your zombie brain has come up with.” Damian growled.
“What for?” Athanasia asked.
“We're just getting dinner. I'm starving and bored. And I'm the adult.”
“Don't worry about Bruce, Alina. If he finds out, we tell him Tim ditched.” Duke said.
“I like the way you think.” Jason laughed.
And five minutes later Red Hood, the Signal, Bird's Eye, and the twin Robins walked into the nearest Bat Burger.
