Better than the Addams Family
Summary: DarkAU! The Wayne family were truly known to be Gotham's true terror of the night, especially if they were vampire freaks. Bruce and Talia Wayne, along with their children: Barbara, Wallace, Richard, Jason, Timothy, Bartholomew and Damien, were dark, cruel, and sadistically enjoy making people suffer. But will a new family next door to them change that?

[EDITED: 12/02/013]
Soon the Wayne siblings were outside in the front lawn and peeked behind the bushes separating them and their new neighbor's lawn, and watching as they all went inside the house.
"Okay, as of right now, the angry looking muscled hottie in the black shirt is mine," Wally whispered to his siblings, grinning evilly with his fangs glinting dangerously.
"Whatever, I want to call either the oldest or the twins, either way I want any guy there," Dick cackled once more as he grabbed his knife out, "You can have the girl Jay,"
"Fat chance, the girl reminds me of Donna," Jason rolled his eyes, "I might have to fight you for the twins,"
"Hey Dick, what if I wanted the eldest one?!" Barbara argued with a huff, "He might be a good candidate for a mate you know, all the other loser vampires in Gotham are a sham,"
"I dunno who I want," Bart shrugged as he looked at his brothers, "But I might want one of the red heads, maybe the young guy holding the little kid,"
Tim snapped his head to Bart and glared at him, then sighed and looked at his siblings arguing.
"You guys, seriously, why can't we just go over there now and talk with them?"
"Because Tim, it's such a cowardly human thing to do," Damien explained to his older brother with an eyeroll.
"Children, it is not at all polite to hide like cowardly humans either," The voice of their mother chuckled as the vampire children all yelped in surprise as they turned to see Talia, and surprisingly, Bruce walking hand in hand together to them, looking like the deadly yet beautiful dark couple they were.
"We shall greet our new neighbors properly," Bruce's voice boomed deeply and dangerously as the children immediately went into line straight and proper, in fear and respect for their father.
"Yes father," The children echoed in time together with their eyes casted down, as the couple walked ahead of them and to the Clark-Kent household, as they children followed quietly.
Once they were stepping onto the porch, Bruce rang the doorbell and waited with his family patiently. The door then opened to reveal the eldest son, as Dick's eyes glinted a bit as Wally nudged him in warning, reminding his brother that their parents were still with them.
Red raised an eyebrow then stepped back a bit, "Pops, I think our neighbors next door wants to see you and Dad," He called out as Jim peeked his head from the open window of the kitchen and smiled.
"Oh! Um, hi there," Jim walked out of the kitchen, looking a bit embarrassed as he stood beside Red, "I didn't expect we'd get visitors so soon,"
"We are the Wayne Family, and we just wanted to greet you to the neighborhood. I am Bruce, mayor of Gotham City," Bruce spoke all business man like as he gestured to his beloved wife, "This is my love and mate, Talia,"
"A pleasure to meet you," She nodded her head a bit with a cruel smile.
"Likewise," Jim smiled politely with a nod.
"And these are my children," Bruce gestured to the Wayne siblings that stood in attention with serious faces, "My eldest child and only daughter, Barbara. My eldest son Wallace, then next is Richard, Jason, Timothy, Bartholomew and last, my youngest, Damian,"
"Hello," Barbara gave a smile like her mother's, only not as cruelly.
"Yo," Wally waved lazily with a sharp smile.
"Just call me Dick if you like," Dick glanced at the boy standing next to the man with sex eyes, as Red frowned at the young man.
Jason just grunted in greeting, but nodded in respect when his mother turned sharply at him with cold eyes.
Bart smiled and waved, "Hiya fresh meat," Which disturbed Red and Jim a little.
"Don't mind him, he's always been the weirdo," Tim assured them, then glanced behind them to see that the other siblings have gathered and walked them warily.
Damien just did the same thing as Jason did but was hit over the head by Tim harshly.
"Um, nice to meet you all," Jim smiled and stepped back, "Would you like to come in?"
The Wayne children suddenly looked at each other smiling evilly at eachother (Which caused the Harper-Kent siblings to look even more at edge with these weirdos) as Talia just politely nodded along with Bruce.
"We'd love to,"
The Wayne family then slowly stepped inside the house as Red looked at them with suspicion.
"Um, my husband Clark is upstairs, but my children are here so," Jim started as he rubbed his head a bit then pointed to each one of them just as Bruce did, "My eldest son here is Red, then my middle child Roy and my youngest son Collin. My stepchildren are Conner, Zatanna, and the twins Billy and Zachary,"
The human children waved a little with forced smiles, except for Conner and Red, who looked at the dark but well-dressed family with guarded eyes.
"Your home is quite...bright," Talia commented off-handedly as she looked at the white and baby blue wallpapers.
"Thank you," Jim smiled, thinking it was a compliment from the beautiful woman.
Roy looked over from the couch at their new neighbor as his eyes zoomed in the boy he saw hours ago. Tim glanced over, feeling eyes on him and thanked his vampire genes that he couldn't blush, and stared back at Roy with an awkward smile. Roy smiled back a bit but then stopped when Jason and Bart stood closely to each of Tim's side and glared at Roy in warning. What was that all about, Roy wondered.
"Hey, they're so...pale and dead looking," Billy whispered to his siblings as Red joined them, and their papa was talking animatedly to Bruce and Talia.
"You think they are some sort of monsters?" Collin asked cutely with his eyes big and innocent.
"Not just monsters, vampires little one," A voice drawled in his ear, as Collin and the rest of his siblings jump back seeing Jason grin, with his siblings right behind him, "Aw, little humans are scared,"
"V-Vampires!? There's no such thing!" Conner exclaimed at the Wayne Children with a look of denial.
Roy glanced over at Tim, as Tim gave an apologetic smile, which caused Roy to grin in reassurance.
Wally licked his lips giggling, barring his fangs as he then speeded over quickly in front of Conner and touched his finger down the muscled covered chest.
"Well we totally exist babe, this isn't called Gotham City: Vampire central for nothing," Wally smiled sweetly as he moved up closer, "Your family is the first human in decades to ever come live here,"
Suddenly Wally's eyes widen as his jaw slacked, and fell limp to the floor as a kitchen knife was lodged into his head, blood pouring around his head. All the Harper-Kent kids screamed out in horror as Conner had some blood splattered on him and fell on his knees in shock.
Jim turned his head as his eyes widened, "OH MY GOD!"
Clark raced down the stairs, "What's going on down here!?"
Suddenly, soft laughter was heard and the human family looked over to see Wally trying to see up and laughing cheerfully, the knife still stabbed into his head and blood running down his face and onto his neck and shirt.
"Hahaha that tickled this time!" Wally smiled and looked over at Dick fondly, "You're aim's getting better lovely,"
"New record?" Dick smiled twisted like, fangs growing with delight of Wally's scent.
Wally calmly pulled the knife quick and easy from his head then looked at the terror-struck teen then smiled coyly.
"The fear on your face is such a turn on," He raised the blade to his lips and licked his blood with a smile, "I seriously think we would have so much fun together, you and I,"
Conner jumped and scrambled back as Wally giggled and crawled over to him with a predatory look in his eyes.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Jim looked back at the dark couple angrily.
"Forgive my children, they cannot control their actions," Talia spoke calmly as Conner was cornered and was shaking when Wally was tipped the knife near the muscled boy's neck, humming some sort of lullaby with a crazy look in his eyes.
"Oh, y-you must be the Wayne family," Clark spoke sheepishly and stepped up next to his lover, who turned to him in shock and disbelief, "Mr. Wayne, I hope to make the interview around tomorrow?"
"That would be fine Mr. Kent," Bruce spoke with a nod as Jim looked back and forth at the men in furious confusion.
"Wait, so this place is really a town full of vampires?!" Zatanna screeched and pulled the three of her youngest siblings close to her as she stared at the Wayne children looking at them hungrily.
"You knew?" Jim looked up at his husband, as Clark smiled weakly.
"I-I was offered a transferred job here because Gotham needed to restore the human population again in the city," Clark sighed as he explained, "S-So I accepted. Our family being the first humans in this city in ages, and if it goes well, humans and vampires can live in harmony. A-And Mr. Wayne provided the funds for this beautiful house, the car, and school for the kids. And...he promised to protect us from the other vampires here. "
Jim frowned a bit then sighed, "We'll talk about this later,"
"We should take our leave, you must be exhausted," Talia cooed as she snapped her fingers and her children looked at her, "Come along darlings,"
Wally pouted as he looked back at Conner then leaned forward and kissed up softly then pulled back with a wink.
"I'll come back for you my chevalier," Wally whispered then giggled as he raced out, Dick following behind him.
Soon Babs, Jason, Bart and Dami followed suit, as Tim trailed behind them, but not before looking back at Roy with longing, as Roy felt a blush on his face and looked at him. Tim smiled a bit but then disappeared.
"We shall take our leave now, have a good evening," Bruce bowed his head as he and his wife disappeared as well.
Jim let out a big breath then angrily went to the piles of boxes.
"Babe, what are you doing?" Clark asked his lover in worry.
"Packing, we're going back home," Jim replied with haste.
"Finally!" Conner jumped up with relief, ignoring how the kiss from the Wayne brat affected him a bit.
"What? Why?" Clark asked in confusion as Jim looked at him incredulously.
"Dad, we are NOT going to stay in a town where those freaks can kill us!" Zatanna shouted as she hugged a trembling Colin close to her.
"Or worse," Billy shuddered..
"Making us their slaves!" Zachary finished with panic.
"C'mon gang, the Wayne's seem like nice people, we should give this place a chance. And we finally have enough money for the stuff we've always wanted," Clark coaxed his wary family, "Sure this place is bad at first, but we've been through worst right? We can do this,"
"I think Dad's right," Roy spoke up as everyone looked at him in surprise, "We shouldn't really judge them, this is their culture or whatever. It would be, um, speciest of us to be judgmental without getting to know them first?"
"Roy, you crazy?" Red waved his hand around, "They are hunting machines and one was trying to stuff the knife into Conner's neck!"
"C'mon Red, what's life without a little adventure," Roy tried to convince his siblings.
"I am not staying here waiting to be vampire chow," Conner huffed and ran upstairs.
"Conner..." Clark sighed and rubbed his head but then yelped as he felt Jim pinching his ears and dragging him to the kitchen to talk.
"Why do you even want to stay Roy?" Zatanna asked with a worried look.
"Because..." Roy closed his eyes, the picture of Tim smiling shyly at him flashed before his mind, and reopened his eyes then grinned, "I think we can teach these vampires to be not killers and live in peace,"
"Whaaaa? That's like saying to a lion don't eat the antelopes," Billy argued while making a face.
"But there's always alternatives Bill," Roy smirked, "Don't you wanna live outside of your zombie video games and go through the real thing,"
"So we get to shoot them," Zachary grinned a bit.
"No, but only if they get out of line, it seems they can't really die," Roy looked a bit thoughtful, "I mean, did you see that Wally kid?"
"Yeah, but everything doesn't stay alive for too long, even vampires," Red reasoned with a calculated look.
"C'mon guys, Dad really wants us to be happy and the job so badly," Roy pointed out as the kids looked guilty, "We always ask him stuff from him and he always gives without complaints. Don't you think we should finally do the same?"
Red sighed and rubbed his eye a bit, "Alright..."
Zatanna, the twins and Colin also chorused in agreement as Roy smiled.
Conner sat on his new bed as he kicked on of the boxes away from him and ruffled his hair in frustration and closed his eyes. He never felt so emotionally overwhelmed before. He missed his old life, with his friends, and the head leader that he had a crush on since pre-K. He was the star quarter back, once upon a time, popular and everything was right with the world.
But now, he was just like everyone else. And he never felt so alone.
"My, you have such a dreadful aura, it's delicious," A voice spoke softly and dark, as Conner sat up immediately to see Wally sitting in his window seal with a light smirk, blood now dried around his freckled and dangerous face.
"Get out!" Conner glared at the vampire as he reached under his bed and got his metal baseball bat armed and ready.
"Oh please, that weapon is child's play," Wally choked a laugh as he gracefully placed his feet on the ground and glided towards the bulky boy and snatched the bat from him and threw it hard at the wall behind him, creating a huge dent on it.
Conner's eyes widen and was about to shout at the lithe boy but was silenced as he felt cold hands holding his face as icy lips made contact with his, Wally savoring the flavor that was Conner Harper-Kent. Conner pushed the boy back and spat at him harshly.
"Fuck, what the hell?!"
Wally giggled as he licked his lips, "Mmmm I bet your blood would be even more delicious,"
Conner was about to take a swing at Wally but the boy soon disappeared into thin air, his soft innocent giggles filled into the night.
As soon as he reached his room, Tim blinked as he was suddenly pinned to his open coffin, arms above him and Jason was straddling him and leaning his face down to his with a sneer.
"I don't like how you and that filthy mud monkey were eye-fucking each other," Jason gripped onto Tim's wrists tightly.
Tim just stared up at his older brother and rolled his eyes, "Whoever do you mean, dreadful brother of mine?"
"Mock flattery won't get you off the hook this time my intoxicating brother," Jason's eyes turned into dangerous slits as he licked at Tim's cheek gently, "That human is a waste of your attention. You should really be focusing on a mate who's strong and can make your vemon drip,"
"Someone like you?" Tim squirmed under his brother then growled, "I've told you for centuries, I don't want to be your bloody chamber maiden!"
"No, you're not a maiden," Jason grinned as his fangs appeared, "You're a little teasing vixen,"
"Charming," Tim suddenly arched up as used his left leg to kick at the door of his coffin as it fell on top of them, activating the spikes as the sharp pricks stabbed through the both of them, making Jason and Tim both yell out.
Tim then kicked the opening up again and pushed the distracted Jason off of him as the blood red haired brother was healing and let out a laugh, holding back a pleasured sigh.
"Clever using the iron maiden tactic little brother," Jason sat up as he smirked, "You will be mine one of these days,"
"Go and fuck Bart why don't you," Tim hissed in warning as Jason laughed and disappeared, "Little bastard,"
"That's what he is after all Tim-tim," Dick appeared by the doorway in a silk dark red robe and sat on the coffin with Tim.
"I hope you aren't here to bed me too Dick," Tim narrowed his eyes as Dick leaned back and touched the now bloody spikes on the inside part of the coffin door dreamily.
"No, I am waiting for Wally to return so we can play," Dick smiled over at Tim, "He went over to have a small taste of one of the boys next door,"
Tim groaned as he slapped his forehead, "Oh Satan no..."
"Oh yes, although I am quite upset he didn't take me with him, we could've doubled the fun" The older noirette snorted as he then sat up and kissed Tim's cheek, "But I'm hoping you could try to cheer up your big brother?"
"Sorry but no," Tim leaned back with a sneer.
"Fu, you're so emotional," Dick pouted then eyes looked serious, "Is it because of that boy you kept staring at?"
Tim would've flushed in embarrassment if he was living.
"N-No! Of course not," Better to deny now than tell the truth.
Like Jason, Dick had a hate for humans and having having the filthy being equal to vampires was blasphemy. Tim can only blame his father and grandfather for such nonsense.
Dick's eyes darken as he raised a machete out of nowhere onto Tim's cheek, then smirked.
"To diminish any possibly thoughts of trivial fantasy, I shall suck that boy's blood dry," The brother threatened, and normally, Tim would plan ignore the bluff and keep reading his book.
But somehow thinking of Roy being in danger made it Tim's worst fear.
"NO!" Tim shouted but covered his mouth with his hands as Dick roared and backhanded Tim harshly then shoved the machete into Tim's chest angrily.
"I will be telling father about this," Dick pushed Tim into the coffin and locked it from the outside and switching the pointed blades from the inside on as he heard his little brother cry out, "And I will make sure that boy you so much feel so human about never sees the light of day,"
Tim couldn't help but feel his vemon drop inside him as he felt bloody tears dripping down his eyes in pain.
But, pain from what exactly?
Roy sat up in his room reading a few things online on his mac-book, particularly on the facts and histories on vampires.
Roy Harper-Kent, was a supernatural geek. His secret weakness was always about knowing and leaning about the paranormal.
Ever since being introduced to his Uncle Oliver's tall tales about the strange and the things that go bump in the night, Roy had always got into mysteries and the unexplained. He even tried to form a Mystery or Paranormal club, but not many joined and called him a freak and a weirdo. But, there were two people who joined him, and became his fast best friends.
Roy smiled as he looked at the laptop wallpaper that was set. He was in the picture, standing in between two people. On his left was a pretty blond girl, her hair down and held back by a black hairband, and her bright blue eyes shined as her pretty face was pulled into a goofy kind of look. The one on Roy's right was a smiling Hispanic boy whose eyes were wide and full of life, his hair slicked back coolly. Cassandra Sandmark Jaime Reyes have always had his back, and the three were a band of trio who faced the dark world out of the norm.
Roy wished he could email or web chat with them, but he knew Jaime was probably busy with family as Cassie was forbidden to use technology for a while, being grounded for trying to sneak out of the house.
The red head sighed as he clicked on Google once more and researched more about vampires when a link caught his eye. Curious, Roy clicked on the link that read: 'Sun Weapons; The only way to kill a vampire'
Roy quietly read about such weapons, that legend had it, the Gods created such weapons made by the sun to cast away and permanently kill any dark creatures that were created by Lucifer. The were many names to such a weapon. The Michael Sword, Excalibur, and so on. But, Roy suspected it was just an old wives tale.
Closing his laptop, Roy streched out and yawned quietly and looked at the window and at the red moon shining down on his bedroom.
"I wonder what Timothy is doing now..."
BONUS Scene: Roy and his two best friends
Jaime smiled as he lifted his camera phone to his crush and hermano, switching on the night-light as the trio stood in front of an old creepy abandoned house.
"Okay guys, you ready?"
"Let's just hurry up already and go home," Cassie shivered and placed her hands on his arms shivering, "This place gives me the heeby-jeebies…"
Roy rolled his eyes and placed an arm over Cassie, grinning, "We're supposed to be like the Mystery Inc., act like it Cas,"
"Um, guys," Jaime paled as he looked at the screen of his phone.
"Easy for you to say Roro, you're born brave," Cassie complained.
"Uhhh Cas? Roy?"
"I told you not to call me Roro, it's just plain weird," Roy made a face and waved his arm a bit.
"Guys…"
"You love it, and you know it," Cassie winked and giggled softly.
"GUYS!"
"Whaaaaaaaat?" Cassie and Roy looked at Jaime annoyed, as the Hispanic boy dropped his phone and shakily pointed behind them.
The two blinked, then looked at each other then turned around and gasped at the sight of a chain covered man moaning and walking towards them ominously. The trio screamed in fright and scrambled away, running down the streets like children on Halloween.
The moaning man then stopped, then laughed as he reached over his face and pulled out his mask to reveal Red smirking widely and looked behind him with his best friend, Kaldur, giving a thumbs up and chuckling under his breath.
"So much for the brave Mystery Inc.," Red laughed as he and Kaldur gave each other a high-five.
So what'cha think? I think I like how this is going so far. Dunno how many chapters I should do, the story isn't so complicated unlike my "You're Not Helping" series. Which, by the way, you should read also if ever. So anyways what will happen next you ask? Read and review to find out ;) Thanks again lovies~!
[Edited: Hope you liked the bonus scene ;) And changed Artemis to Cassie now...]
