3RD Person POV:
In another world, another universe Bruce Wayne was never rich, nor did his parents die in front of him resulting in Batman. No this Bruce Wayne was as average as you can get. His parents Martha and Thomas Wayne were lawyers who did cases with Harvey Dent, until he went crazy. They were well off but didn't have a butler, so Alfred Pennyworth was never hired. Though there were superheros like Superman, Green Lantern, ect.,the batfamily were never vigilantes.
When he was 15 Bruce's father developed brain cancer and a year later died. Of course he was stricken with grief but was able to move on with the help of his mother Martha. After graduating High school Bruce Wayne went to college to follow his parents footsteps. However fate is a cruel mistress. At age 20 his mother died in a drunk driving accident and Bruce had to get a dead end job to keep paying the bills for the two story house located in the suburbs in Gotham city, where many had to be careful unless you wanted the city to eat you alive.
A year later he adopted Dick Grayson an orphan that lost his parents in a rigged trapeze act. In two years he adopts street rat Jason Todd when he tries to steal the mans car tires. And in four a rich man named Jack Drake abandoned his son on the Wayne's doorstep, when the seven year old tells his father that he likes boys, he too is adopted and brought into the small but growing family. In another year a woman named Talia Al Ghul brings an underfed and abused six year old to the small house. It turns out she had gotten pregnant during a one night stand, and even though she was going to train him as a heir found that his father's genes were not good enough for the Al Ghul lineage. So in a small act of mercy she tracked down his father and abandoned him without so much as a goodbye. Thus the Wayne family had a new member to call their own.
They were a happy family despite what has happened to them and how they were treated. But tragedy striked again when Bruce Wayne was mugged on the way home from work and never made it home to his sons. He was barely 40. His eldest was 18, the second eldest 16, and the babies of the family 12 and 10 respectfully. This is where their lives get that much harder. In order to keep the house Dick Grayson and Jason Todd had to look for work. The eldest dropping out of school as he did. Though he tried his best it wasn't enough and they ended up in a shitty apartment in Park Row. Jason too ended up dropping out to help his big brother. Well Tim and Damian had to go to Gotham Elementry, they all had to work hard to keep the house up and running.
The Wayne's were never lucky though by the time Dick was 21 him and Jason ended up prostitutes to get by, though they tried to hide this fact the youngest saw through the act being the geniuses that they were. However one good thing came with all the tragedy and that was the closeness that they had. Jason and Dick ended up dating, even if most people think of them as brothers, since they have come to rely on each other during the years spent working odd jobs and raising their baby brothers. Under the care of their brothers the two youngest started to date a couple of months after Tim turned 15 and Damian turned 13.
Even as unorthodox as it was no one said anything since they knew that they only had each other and were reluctant to let any one else in. One day everyone in the small family were relaxing in their home when all of a sudden a bright light flashed. Unknown to both parties this will change everything for both Wayne families. One as close as can be even without their dad, some would say they were clannish. The other so detached, broken, and fragile that they hardly talked not even with Bruce. This little mistake in the batfamily's universe will change everything. Only time will tell if it was for good or bad. Both families broken in their own way, oh how will our heros deal with their alternate selves? Only time will tell...
