Awakened
Disclaimer: A little what if? where instead of dying, Thomas and Martha Wayne end up in a coma for the first three seasons of the show. Takes place in the hospital scene hallway between the BatCat youngsters. And hot damn was 4x03 worth the freaking wait! Crystal looked great and Billionaire Brat! Bruce was pretty amusing to see too!
As Bruce turns around to ask Selina why she's even there at the hospital thanks to how emotional he's being and putting himself in the dog house without realizing it, his salvation in the form of a Nurse would make her appearance. "Bruce Wayne?"
"Umm… Yes?"
Please don't tell the Kid his parents are dead. Begged Selina in her mind as her kind of sort of boyfriend had been through way too much already and didn't deserve that.
No telling as it is what he was going through while Bruce 2 was spending his time impersonating him and failing at that. At least in her mind anyway. "Your parents are awake and since I knew you were in the building, I thought I would come and tell you right away." The Nurse told him kindly and shocking Bruce considerably.
Causing him to freeze where he was while Selina stared in amazement and shock. "Whoa." Muttered the girl.
As this was some great news for him! Seeing how the young man was reacting, the Nurse smiled kindly at him and told him she'd let his parents know he was on his way and made her leave to do exactly that. Leaving a stunned and immobile Bruce as he tried to process what he'd just heard and a fairly happy Selina behind. The future Catwoman stared at the boy she was honestly coming to like way more then she probably should and felt a bit of concern. "Umm… Bruce? Are, are you okay?"
"Please don't tell me this is what does you in." Pleaded the girl semi seriously.
His head snapped towards her direction and she involuntarily took a step back. "My, my parents… They're awake..."
"Yeah, I heard. If you want, we can go rob a liquor store I know of to celebrate?" That is, if the place was still standing anyway…
"That's… That's not necessasry. We have a wine cellar at home." He told her absent mindedly.
Selina rolled her eyes good naturedly at her favorite Kid. "Take all the fun out of it."
"My parents… Are awake and you don't want to make use of the wine cellar?"
His question caused the young Catwoman to stare at him with an incredulous look on her face. "Man, even after nearly 3 years of knowing you, your thought process is still a mystery to me." Selina told him in mild amusement with a shake of the head.
"My parents are awake." He stated while looking at nothing behind her.
Taking several steps towards him in concern, Selina placed a hand on his shoulder. "Do you wanna see them?"
A silent nod was the answer and reaching for his hand, the young beauty gently guided him to his parents' room. A room they'd been in together for nearly 3 years now while Bruce sought the truth of what had happened to see his parents end up shot and left for dead. Only to thankfully end up in a coma instead of a coffin. Minutes later saw young Bruce be guided into his parents' room thanks to Selina and it caught the attention of his parents real quickly whie he just stared at them in shock. "B-Bruce?" Asked his mother uncertainly while his dad looked on.
"Don't mind the statue impersonation he's doing, he's just a little shocked you two are awake after almost 3 years." Selina told the two helpfully.
"3 YEARS!?" Yelled Thomas in shock as it had started to make so much sense now to him where the stiffness was concerned!
"Oh my… No wonder he's so much more taller then we last saw!"
Selina nodded at that. "Believe it or not, I'm kinda jealous about the growth spurt." Teased the girl even if she was slightly serious about it.
"Mother? Father?" Finally spoke Bruce in shock as he took steps towards them.
"Its us, my boy! Now come give us a hug!" Thomas told him happily.
And not being need to be told twice, the young Bruce did exactly that and Thomas would have to force himself to move so he could join the hug that mother and son had ended up having first. Selina would even surprise herself by helping the man do it. She'd then try and leave to give the re-united family some privacy but for whatever reason that only likely made sense to Bruce, would see her hand be captured by his and a look on his face that practically begged her to stay. A look she found herself unable to say no too for that matter. Even if it was a little awkward in staying where she was! But hey, he'd probably do the same for her as it is.
Author's Notes: Would anyone want a second chapter? And even with this happening, Bruce would still end up becoming Batman for whatever reason.
