So I came back with the one shot sequel quickly. Quite heavily as well. I had a shit ton of time on my hands when I wrote this, so I may have gone a bit over board. Enjoy this little (lol) one-shot.
It was mid to late afternoon at Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne and the pregnant Selina Kyle (now known as Selina Wayne) were currently watching The Mask of Zorro 1998 (one of Bruce's favorite films of all time which made him despise the 2005 sequel all the more) that was playing on TV. They were watching it with Clark Kent and his wife Lois Lane, Diana Prince and her boyfriend Steve Trevor, Barry Allen and his fiancée Patty Spivot, Sara Dinah and Dinah Laurel Lance with their respective husbands Oliver Queen and Tommy Merlyn and the other 2 Gotham City sirens, Pamela Isley and Harleen Quinnzel. Jon Kent, Kon-El, Bart Allen, Cassie Sandsmark, Athanasia al Ghul, Kori Anders, Wally West, Roy Harper, Thea Queen, Emiko Queen, Rachel Roth, Harper and Cullen Row were playing with the various board games around the room. They had all arrived early for Tim's birthday party, deciding to just hang around, waiting for Tim to arrive.
Bruce took a small moment to reflect how his life has changed since he returned from the timestream thanks to Tim. He had snapped Joker's neck when he broke for millionth time a few weeks after he had recovered from his journey and he had no regrets. He had much time to think on his actions and morals during his adventures, realizing how much he screwed up with his children. Jason and Barbara both broke down when they heard what he did, thanking him for ridding them of their nightmare. Dick was apprehensive but came to accept it soon after. Cass caught off contact for months but when she finally given him the opportunity to explain why he did it, she came to begrudgingly accept it. Tim revealed he had done some shady stuff when he was looking for him with Ra's and while the old Bruce would have reprimanded and scolded him for it, he accepted it but he hoped Tim would never had to make a choice like that again.
Bruce had also started laying down the law with Damian, who had become more humbler and even apologized to Tim for what he done, for trying to kill him so many times and all the insults that he had said with Tim accepting and forgiving Damian. The two were currently not quite there yet but almost brothers. Bruce had also remedied his relationship with Stephanie Brown after what he put the poor girl through during her time as Spoiler and Robin. She had accepted the apology with the condition Bruce had to send her waffles for the next month, which he did so without question. He and Tim had started to fix their father and son relationship, with Bruce telling Tim to step down from being CEO of WE and wait until he finished college, which he reluctantly agreed when Cass, Tam, Alfred, Lucius and Bruce told him to be a normal teenager then be an adult after college.
Bruce had also stopped playing around and proposed to Selina, who accepted it leading to a very passionate celebration on the roof tops. The 2 had gotten married six months ago and they went on their honeymoon shortly after with Jason covering as Batman for the time being. When they came back a few weeks later, Selina had been revealed to be pregnant thanks to all the times they had sex in Tahiti in the over water bungalows. It was revealed that they were expecting twins, a boy and a girl. They hadn't decided on baby names though they had thought Terrance (Terry for short) and Helena.
He was broken out of his thoughts when he heard the door open, seeing 5 out 6 of his kids and Steph enter the room. Dick looked quite pale, Duke and Damian look gross out about something but mostly normal looking, Steph was more down compared to her usual bubbly self and Cass looks like her sweet and innocent self as always. Jason meanwhile looked like the proudest man on earth (which wasn't far of from the truth).
"What happened? Is everything all right?" Bruce asks worriedly, looking at Dick being checked on by Kori and Wally. The other new arrivals stayed quiet while Jason's grin grew even bigger, creeping some of the others out a bit.
"Jason, are you all right?" Bruce asks, his fatherly instincts going to overdrive.
"I've never been proud as of Baby Bird as I am right now." Jason boasts proudly.
"Why?" Sara asks, curious as to why Jason is so proud of her cousin (aside from the obvious reasons) as is her sister, brother in law, husband and everyone else in the room aside from the people who just arrived from Tim's apartment.
"You all might want sit down cause this gonna be a doozy." They all did, though some reluctantly. They sat around the various chairs and couches though some sat down on the floor.
Jason began explaining why they were going to Tim's apartment, using Cass's keys to give him a small surprise but was quickly dashed when they saw the scene before them.
"Timmy was making out with Deathstroke's daughter but that wasn't what shocked us the most. It Babs and Helena being there as well." The room stood in complete silence at what they heard. Bruce looked real uncomfortable being there, hearing what Tim gets up to in his private moments. He knew more about his children sex life than he should so tries to tune it out as much as possible. Sara and Laurel were in the same boat as where Clark, Athanasia, Kon, Cassie and Bart. Tommy was kind of impressed while Kori and Wally now understood Dick's reaction. Seeing you're little brother with two of your exes can cause quite a shock. Diana was amused as where Lois, Patty and Steve. Emiko, Harper, Cullen, Jon, Roy, Rachel and Thea were staying out of it.
Oliver meanwhile was trying to stop the headache that was coming to his head. Slade was going slaughter Tim when he found out about this (not if,when) and he was going to have to stop him. He was going to rope Bruce into stopping him cause Tim was his son and because he was allowed to be that petty every now and then, sue him.
"So, I'm going to look around and see any of the good Scotch around that you have in the wine cooler and save it for replacement 21st." Jason leaves the room, a small pep in his step that Bruce's notices it. Bruce turns to look at his wife, who was an amused expression on her face, knowing what her husband was thinking.
"Goddamit all to hell." Bruce says in frustration.
"Something wrong Bat?" Selina asks rhetorically.
"When Slade arrives, you are going to help me to stop him from finding out and if he finds out, you will help me keep him in check cause he will gut Tim." Oliver says to Bruce, who reluctantly agrees.
A few hours go by, Tim arriving with Helena, Barbara and Rose in tow with him. They walk towards to the Main door (Barbara had gotten a spine implant and had been getting used to using her legs again).
"Honey, I'm home." Tim says dramatically. Barbara and Helena rolls their eyes at his antics while Rose looks amused. They make their way towards the main kitchen and are caught by surprise.
"Happy Birthday, Tim." Everyone chorused. Tim nearly cries at how many people came to see him. Bruce and Selina give him a bone crushing hug, telling Tim how proud they are of him. Alfred arrives shortly with a cake and Leslie and the Foxes behind him. They all sing him happy birthday and Tim feels like he could die of embarrassment in that moment.
"Make you're wish baby bird." Jason says loudly. Tim blows the candles and everyone claps and cheers for him, wishing him a happy birthday once more.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I need to have chat with Tim." Bruce loops an arm around Tim's shoulders and slowly drags him out of there, into the Manor's Study. He closes the door and shoots Tim a serious look. Tim looks unbothered by it.
"Jason told you didn't he." Its not a question, its a factual statement.
"Yes"
"I know you're going to say that 'I should be careful' or 'she could be betray you' but I trust her B." Bruce hears the honesty and sincerity in Tim's voice, deciding that he will trust his son's judgement.
"Okay."ERROR!Tim Drake.exe has stopped working.
"Wait, what!?" Tim blurts out.
"I trust you Tim and I can see how happy she makes you as do Barbara and Helena." Bruce says genuinely.
"Um... B, it was just a one time thing that Rose said she was fine with it cause its my birthday." Bruce snorts at that.
"Tim, I saw how they look at you. I don't think it's just physical attraction." Tim brain is still rebooting after Bruce said he was fine with his relationship with Rose. "However, I'd recommend you keep this a secret from Slade otherwise he will gut you." Tim shudders a bit at that. Despite Slade being more of a good guy after Oliver cure him of the Mirakuru's influence, he still one scary son of a bitch and was quite protective of his children (though it took a while for them to come around to him for obvious reasons) so Tim was honestly considering getting the fuck out of the dam country.
Bruce, seeing his sons worried thinking face, placed a hand on his shoulder to reassure him . "Don't worry Tim, me and Ollie will keep you safe if he does find out." That does calm him down a bit but not by much.
"Now Come on, its your birthday and I think you should celebrate it." They leave the study and head back to the party, where they see a Karaoke set with four mics. Dick, Jason and Damian are there, having an expecting look on their faces.
" Come on Baby bird, you get to choose the song." Tim reluctantly makes his way to the make shift stage. He browses through the playlist and picks one that some will like while others will not. Dick was happy with the choice as where Damian and Jason. He pressed play and everyone's face light up in recognition of the song.
"Master, I don't think you quite realize what you got here!" Tim sings first
"So, why don't you just ruminate," Dick goes next
"While I illuminate the possibilities!" And then Damian
"Okay, watch this" Jason goes last. The music ramps up and everyone has their attention on the four Robins.
"Here I go!
Uh, ooh, woo!
Back up! Uh-oh! Watch out! Uh!" Jason
"You done wound me up!
'Bout to show you what I'm workin' with, uh" Tim
"Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scheherezade had a thousand tales" Dick
"But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails" Tim
"You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp" Jason flexes his bicep to nail his point, earning eye rolls, snickers and giggles from the audience
"You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how
See all you gotta do is rub that lamp
And I'll say" Damian
"Mister..." Jason
"Aladdin, sir" Tim, Damian and Dick
"Whatever, what will your pleasure be?" Jason
"Let me take your order
Jot it down
You ain't never had a friend like me" Dick
"Ha ha ha" All four
"Life is your restaurant
And I'm your maitre d'" Jason
"C'mon whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me" Damian
"Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service" Tim
"You're the boss" Dick
"The king, the shah" Jason
"Say what you wish
It's yours! True dish
How about a little more Baklava?" Damian and Tim
"Have some of column "A"
Try all of column "B"" Jason
"I'm in the mood to help you dude!
You ain't never had a friend like me"
Instrumental plays for a bit.
"Oh my" Dick then instrumental
"no no" Jason
"my my" Tim then instrumental.
"Can your friends do this?" Tim while Dick does a hand stand
"Can your friends do that?" Damian does a does a back and front flip
"Can your friends pull this out their little hat?" Jason pulls out two nerf guns and shoots them at Bruce, wo dodges them easily
Can your friends go, Poof!" Tim while Jason starts beat box surprisingly well
"Well, looky here" Tim
"I'm the genie of the lamp
I can sing, rap, dance, if you give me a chance, oh!" Jason
"So doncha sit there slack jawed, buggy eyed
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers" Dick
"You got me bona fide, certified
You got a genie for your chare d'affaires" Damian
"I got a powerful urge to help you out
So what-cha wish? I really wanna know" Dick
You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is rub like so - and oh" Tim
"Mister..." Jason
Aladdin, sir," Tim, Damian and Dick chorused again
"yes, have a wish or two or three" Jason
"I'm on the job, you big nabob" Dick
"You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend" Damian
"You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend" Jason
"You ain't never had a friend like me" Tim
"You ain't never had a friend like me" All four sing the last part together
Everyone claps at their small and improvised performance. Bruce like he can barely keep his tears of joy in check with Oliver taking a picture of that look as it only happens a blue moon and planning to post later on in the League chat.
"Thanks guys" Tim says, kind of out breath
"Anytime, Baby Bird" Jason says with a big smile on his face
"I must agree with Todd on this one, Drake" Damian responds in his very own way but he has a small smile on his face. Dick gives a hug and while is tense at first, he accepts it and hugs him back.
The festivities continue, with people catching up with their friends and family on this happy occasion. Helena, Babs, Sara, Laurel, Diana, Lois, and Patty are talking to each other when Dick shows up.
"Excuse me ladies, can I talk to these two? I'll be quick, I promise." Dick asks in his usual cheery voice. Every one except Helena and Barbara leave to give them some privacy. His demeanor changes to serious and intimidating.
"What are you plans with Tim?" Dick asks coldly
"It was just a one time thing and like you get to talk, Dick." Barbara responds just as coldly, if not more so.
"Why did you sleep with him?"
"One he's a good person who has gone through a lot of trauma which you played a large part in, Batman." Helena says, the last part spitted out with venom and mockery.
"Two, it was his birthday and he deserved it. It was Rose idea anyway and we just went along with it." Barbara picks up after her friend.
"Lastly, he's actually quite attractive and is actually better in the sack than you." Helena finishes, her last sentence leaving Dick gob smacked.
After a few minutes, Dick sighs in frustration. While he and Tim have improved their brotherhood, Tim still rightfully resented him for taking Robin away from him and giving it to Damian without consulting them. After he came back with Bruce, he was felt really guilty for telling Tim he was crazy and that Bruce wasn't alive. When Bruce had found out about what happened between him and Tim, how he made the entire hero community think his little brother was crazy, Bruce had ripped into him and Damian. When Dick tried to argue back how Bruce was better, he said that at least he was owning up to his mistakes and that he had to hold his dead sons body that screwed him up for years. That doesn't excuse his actions after Jason's death and his mistreatment of Tim many times but at least he had an excuse, what was Dick's? Sure he had to take up a cowl he did not want but what was his excuse? He didn't and drove away his little brother.
A week after Bruce took over WE as CEO again, he had received a call from Oliver and Sara, who had been in Gotham for a Human trafficking ring from here to Star City. Apparently Tim had try to take his own life by jumping off a roof but Oliver stopped him in the nick of time. When Oliver, Sara and the other heroes had learned the truth, the former two had been restrained from mauling Dick. The night after, Dick and Jason had a brutal fight with Jason winning. He threatened him with a fate worse if he ever did anything like that Tim. A few days later. Damian had come back with broken bones and bruises from Jason, with him threatening Damian with the same as Dick. While Bruce had warned Jason, he did nothing else about it. When asked, Bruce coldly stated that what was him, Dick and Alfred did when Damian tried to kill and insulted Tim on a daily basis. Bruce also started punishing Damian when he insulted Tim and it slowly stopped thanks to Damian getting the hint.
Dick honestly did not know what to do. Tim mostly went on patrol with Jason, Bruce, Selina, Cass and Duke. Tim and Damian's relationship had improved greatly while he and Dick's brotherhood was still in shambles. Steph was also kept at arms length after she came back. When she tried to make up with Tim, he shot her down hard, saying that she lied to him, after everything they went through and how he helped with her with her teenage pregnancy, her flinching at that last part. Harper, Duke and Cullen came later on, the latter 2 becoming vigilantes and when they found out, they ripped in to Dick. Dick had apologized to Tim many times. While he had accepted it, he stilled resented him. Now he found out that he had slept with his 2 exes. He considered that maybe it was payback but he squashed that thought from his mind, believing Tim wasn't petty enough do that. He went to back to the festivities, striking up a conversation with Wally and Kori.
So, that last part was rough, huh? Well given how much DC has fucked up these past few decades, I wanted to show that actions do have long lasting consequences. Bruce has redeemed himself while Dick hasn't but still wanted to show that it was possible. I know some people are going to hate me for this along with some if not all of the pairings but I really don't fucking care. There was a time where I like Tim/Steph but DC fucking ruined it along with Bruce and everything else. Someone really needs to fucking clean house at WB, particular DC and Netherrealm studios. Hope you a;; enjoyed, appreciate constructive criticism but will happily delete hate.
