first chapter is a comment fic, sorry for the weird formatting
...
The whole fiasco starts with a call from the Justice League
And a tiny Bruce sending a shy smile from his perch on Superman's arms
(he doesn't know who the big blue man is, but Bruce knows he's helped him somehow)
And he hides a little when the others stare at him with slack jaws, until Alfred comes out and says "Master Bruce" with so much worry in his voice
And Bruce turns
Just says, "Alfred" in a quiet voice
He's kinda confused that Alfred looks wrinklier
But Alfred gives him a hug so everything must be okay
So he lets Alfred lead him into the mansion, giving the old kids and adults standing in the foyer a curious glance
But Alfred doesn't pay attention to them so he just follows
The next day he wakes with five curious eyes staring at him
And all he can do is hold his blanket over his eyes
Peak a little and maybe they'll be gone
But they're still there
And someone (it might be the older guy but he can't really tell) makes a weird noise
But he really needs to go to the bathroom
But they're staring
So he looks for Alfred
Starts tearing a little when he can't find him among the strangers
And there's another weird noise, now he's sure it's from the older guy (who's now turned away from him)
"Stop staring at me!" Bruce tries yelling (it comes out a little shaky, squeaky)
And everyone in the room turns away in unison
And Alfred comes through the door
Sees him in the brink of tears and gathers him up
And bruce just hiccups
Hides against Alfred's familiar neck
Looks up when he hears shuffling in the room
And sees the strangers closer with identical frowns
And his face scrunches up more
Burrows deeper with a scared "Alfred" whined against the butler's neck
Alfred picks him up with an arm under his knees and brings him to the bathroom, says "Everything's alright Master Bruce" as he closes the door
And that's how baby Bruce comes to live in the manor
At least until he gets better
