Chapter 2: Incomprehensible Duality {2/3}
Sometimes , the night in generous to us. That was something that my father told me during my first night as Robin. But I never understood the meaning of it... Until now.
Robin just arrived at the backyard of the house that used to belong to Harvey and Gilda Dent before their divorce. The house was still in pretty good condition even though no one lives there. He gets off of his R-Cycle, a customized motorbike optimized for high speed pursuits, leaving parked in a hidden spot next to the house. Strange, it's stupid to think that now but... All the times that I saw Dent when he was still married, he seemed to be a very happy with his wife. Robin thought as he made his way to the backdoor of the house, before he unlocked using a lock pick. That's a pretty complex lock, even for someone concerned with home safety. That was something he couldn't help but note as the lock was quite difficult. Could be to hide something?
Upon entrance, the first thing to realize is that the house was literally empty, no furniture, electronics, anything at all. Not that it was surprising, no reason for it in a house that no one lives at anymore. Entering the through the kitchen Robin searched for anything out of the ordinary, but he couldn't find anything. Though, he does notices that the house is way too clean. Okay, I know that having no one live here is supposed to be the reason but... This whole place seem like it was cleaned today. Thanks to Alfred, he developed a very strict hygienic habits, which is why his room is always spotless. So he can easily tell when a place was cleaned up recently. Moving towards the living room, he proceed to do the exact same thing that he did before, observing every inch of the place in order to spot something out of the ordinary. So he decided to activate his detective vision in order to check for any type of invincible clue. "Hmm..." Luckily, he spotted something in a step away from the stairs that led upstairs. After getting close enough, Robin analyzed what it was. It's a drop of... Chloroform? Immediately, he was certain that something happened here.
Moving his gaze towards the stairs, he deactivated his detective vision and made his way upstairs. Slowly climbing each steps, several theories of what was the Chloroform used for passed through his mind, and he didn't like any of them. Once he arrived upstairs, he was greeted by a small corridor that had four doors on it. Three room and a bathroom. Robin decided to check the first door on the right first, which was a completely empty room. After a quick observation, he decided to move on for the next, which was the first door on the right.
Which was a bathroom. "Hmmmm... " Immediately, the sidekick noticed something off. There was a sink, a toiled and a bathtub, nothing out of the ordinary. Except for something strange on the wall where the bathtub was connected to. There was a small crack on the wall there that it's almost unnoticeable, but not for him. Upon close inspection, Robin was able to see. It has been smashed, either by a hand or an elbow, but it could have been accidental. There was a possibility of it already been there for a while, but he did noticed a bit of dirt from it on the edge of the bathtub, clearly indicates that this happened recently. Activating his detective vision once again, he tried to look for some type of trace. But found nothing and quickly deactivated again.
Once again, he moved back to the corridor in order to check another room, taking the second door on the right. "Holy..." Upon entrance, Robin was surprised by what he saw. It was a children's room, for a newborn. With childish wallpaper, toys all over the floor and a cradle in the middle with little stirs on top of it. What is this? Dent doesn't have any children. There was absolutely no way, him and his father would be aware of it otherwise. Observing the strange room for a bit, Robin couldn't find any type of sign or clue that it ever been used, which makes it even more strange.
Before investigating further, he decided to check the last room, which was the second door on the left. Okay... He thought as he opened the door. What? He thought in confusion. Just like the other room, this one was full. It was clearly a couple's room, probably the one where Dent and his wife used when they were married. And it seemed like it wasn't touched. The bed was perfectly made, there were portraits of the tow on the wall, the wardrobe was full as he could see it thought a small gap, and there was a table with jewelry and make up on top of it. Dent, what the hell are you hiding? He thought as he entered the room. The first thing he did was check the wardrobe, where he found some suits and dresses. Not much in terms of variety. "Hmmm..." Robin then grabbed one of the dresses and sniffed. This dress smells like perfume, it was used recently. He deduced as it was the only dress that had this type of smell on. Inspecting it a little closely, Robin was able to find something, a very small string of her on the collar. He activated the detective vision to analyze.
After a short analysis, Robin made a confused face. Paul Sloane, what... The hair belonged to a man called Paul Sloane, according to the Bat-Computer's database, he was just an actor. Why...? Before Robin could make any type of assumptions, he received a call.
"Robin," It was Batman calling him. "What's your status?"
"Something off is going on here." He started to explain. "I found traces of Chloroform, a small indication of a struggle or maybe a fight and not to mention female clothes that were recently used." He pointed out most of the clues he found. "I found a small string of hair on the clothes , belonging to a man named Paul Sloane."
"Yes, I also found traces of the individual in Gilda Grace's apartment." Batman replied to him.
"Shall we consider him a suspect?" Robin asked.
"No, he was found dead yesterday." Batman revealed to his sidekick.
"What?!" Robin knew that it had to be connected to her disappearance. "What was the cause of death?" He immediately questioned him.
"Shot in the head with a 9mm handgun." Same as Sal Maroni, but sadly, 9mm is a common caliber, so there's nothing really indicating that his death was anything out of the ordinary. Except for his presence at the two locations that Batman and Robin are investigating at the moment. "Continue investigation and see if you can find anything else." Batman ordered.
"Roger that." Robin responded. But... What else is there to check? The side kick wondered as he continue his search.
The sidekick then proceeded to search around the rest of the room for any clues. Activating the detective vision so search for traces around the area. Hmmm... There was something on top of the bed, the pillow to be more specific. Saliva, belonging to Gilda Grace. The Detective vision immediately identified. Robin then inspected the headboard of the bed, where he managed to find a bit of damage on it. Handcuffs could cause this type of damage... He theorized as there a space that could fit handcuffs.
Theory, Gilda Grace was kept in here and was probably drugged. But all of this... While he was considering the clues he found in order to find a conclusion, he had an thought that he needed to confirm with Batman.
"Batman, require information." He called him in the communicator.
"Speak." Batman replied.
"Is there any sign of struggle or a fight in the apartment?" That was his question.
"No," Batman replied. "The mess here seemed to have been propositional."
"Is the possibility of Gilda Grace's kidnapping occurring before her reported disappearance valid?" He already knows the answer.
A small pause ensure as he waited for Batman's reply. "A report from a GCPD office says that a neighbor was the one that reported her disappearance, did it because she was worried since she encounters Gilda daily, but hasn't seen her in five days." Batman explained to his sidekick. "When she went to check the apartment, she saw the mess and called the police."
"Well, I can assure you that she was at my current location during these five days." Robin informed Batman. "There are signs that she was handcuffed to a bed and possibly drugged."
"Hmm..." Robin awaited his orders. "Finish inspecting the house and return to the Batcave."
"Roger that." He complied.
There was only one place left for him to check. Which was the basement of the house. Robin immediately moved towards the door and passed through, before he walked down the corridor and descended towards downstairs. Then he made his way towards the basement door. As he descended the stairs however, he couldn't help but notice a strange smell coming from downstairs. Which got stronger at each step he took.
As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the stairs. He was able to identify the smell. It smells like... Burned hot chocolate... That justifiably confused him.
Activating the detective vision right away, Robin was greeted by a interesting sight. Hmmmm... There was a trail of something on the floor that lead towards an empty spot, where the heater supposed to be located. Upon close inspection, the trail turned out to be a trail of blood. Dry blood, concealed through a decent cleaning. He thought as he analyzed with the detective vision. Sadly, it cannot be identified. He thought in annoyance. I don't want to conclude that it's Gilda Grace's blood without getting a confirmation first.
Huh? Before Robin could continue to inspect the basement, he heard a noise coming from upstairs. With his detective vision still activated, he saw that there was someone upstairs, armed with a handgun, an M1911A1. Back to the crime scene? Robin decided to apprehend the suspect.
From afar, Robin controlled his bike to circle around the backyard in order to create a distraction. It worked as whoever was the home invader, heard the noise and immediately went to check the backyard. Robin also rushed towards the backyard, climbing towards the stairs and arriving at the living room, where the engine of his bike was making a considerable amount of noise. Noticing the invader standing by the door frame of the backdoor of the house. Robin took advantage of the situation and charged towards the man, performing an flying side kick into his back, pushing him through the door frame and dropping him into the grass.
"AAAHH!" The man screamed in pain upon impact. "WHAT THE-" He tried to turn around to aim his handgun, but Robin wasted no time and immediately grabbed the gun off his hand. "Oh shit..." It was the man's reaction once he saw Robin.
"Right choice of words." Robin commented before he dismantled the handgun and tossed the pieces at him. Then he analyzed the man. It was a middle-aged man wearing a dark brown suit with a blue tie and black shoes. He had black hair with receding hairline and a ugly moustache. Using his detective vision, he identified the man. "Josh Azeveda, retired detective of Gotham City's Major Crimes Unit." He pointed out. "Currently works as a private investigation." Which left a question. "Who hired you?" The sidekick bluntly asked the middle-aged man.
"Aahhh..." Mr. Azeveda grunted as he stood up from the ground. "This is private information kid, I can't go around sharing information about my clients."
Robin barely reacted to what he said, he simply folded his arms. "You know, the last man that didn't told me something that I wanted to know... Required surgery to repair the damage I caused." A shin broken in three different places. "He did end up telling me anyway so... Would you kindly spare me of the trouble?"
The man was visibly disturbed by what he said, not that he can blame him as Batman and Robin have quite the reputation of causing a considerable amount of damage on criminals. "Listen... Harvey Dent hired me."
Robin raised an eyebrow. "Go on."
Once his very short conversation with the private investigator hired by Harvey Dent to investigate his ex-wife's disappearance. Robin went back to the Batcave and informed Batman of everything.
Gilda Grace was apparently kept as a hostage inside the home that her and Harvey lived together when they were married. But there was no trace of where she could have been taken after that.
Currently, Alan Wayne was eating Herb-Crusted Filet Mignon on the dinning table inside the Wayne Manor. Waiting for the results of the sample he brought.
There was no trace inside the apartment either, which lead both of them to believe that it was a professional work due to how well the traces were covered. His father was at the Batcave, investigating two clues, first some of the details about Paul Sloane and a sample of the dry blood that be found on the basement of that home, the only two leads that the two had at the moment.
Alan perfectly cut his meat in small pieces before placing one inside his mouth and chewing it slowly. He appreciated the wonderful taste as he did with everything he eat. "Mmmm..." He took a sip of ginger ale, which Alan developed a taste for it.
As he took another bit of his food, he saw his father entering the room and make his way towards the dinning table. Once Alan swallowed, he asked. "Anything?" He asked.
Before his father could respond, Alfred appeared inside the room with a plate for his father. "Thanks." He thanked their Butler. Then he turned his head to look at Alan. "The blood you found, could not be identified." His father informed him, which surprised Alan.
"The Bat-Computer couldn't identify?" He asked in pure disbelief.
"It's impossible to identify the blood of several people mixed together." His father clarified as he took a bite of his Filet Mignon.
Alan's only response was a sigh. He already suspected as that quantity was just too much for a single person, but it was still a bit surprising. He was actually expecting it to be the result of maybe a dismemberment, but with this confirmation. "And Paul Sloane?" He asked before eating another piece of his food.
"Apparently, Sloane has overspend a considerable amount of money during the last four days before his mysterious murder." His father spoke as he cut his food sloppily before eating it. "Which is suspicious considering that he was having money problems and he hasn't book any acting job in a year."
"Paid to kidnap Gilda Grace." It was obvious. Alan drank a bit of ginger ale before continuing. "It definitely wasn't Blackmask, so either Hill or..." Blackmask would hire a professional to the dirty work, not a washed up actor. Hill would probably be stupid enough to do that, but...
"Or Harvey did it..." His father completed for him. "We still need to gather evidence regarding Harvey's possible involvement." He eat his food before continuing. "Him hiring a private investigator to find his ex-wife does raise some questions of his involvement, but it also indicates that he doesn't have anything to hide regarding this whole mess." Josh Azeveda was a pretty competent detective according to his record of cases. It would be exceptionally foolish to hire someone like that to solve a mystery that you're involved on. But there's always a chance of it, even if it's small.
"This just keeps getting more and more complicated." Alan complained as he eat another piece. "First, it was just Blackmask and Hill, but now Dent..."
"Agreed." His father didn't even try to hide his annoyance with the situation. Alan can understand, since his father was the one that suggested Dent's candidature for Mayor and the idea that he was basically helping a criminal get the position. "We must keep Harvey under vigilance for now."
"Have you checked Paul Sloane's bank account?" In case of the money that he has overspend being transferred from another bank account.
"I did, and no, no transference was made." His father informed him.
The money was given to him in person then. Alan thought.
The rest of their dinner was silence, both father and son decided to just appreciate their Butler's food.
Once dinner was over, Alan decided to try get some sleep. But the task proved to be difficult, since his mind couldn't stop thinking about the case. Everything, from Blackmask and Hill, to Dent's involvement. It still a bit hard to understand, Dent always projected himself as a good-nature and stand-up guy and what you project yourself as, is not always what you actually are. His father is a perfect example, always projecting himself as a womanizing playboy with a pretty superficial lifestyle. But he does that to hide who he truly is, so that makes Alan wonder, what is Harvey Dent hiding underneath.
Lying on his back on top of his bed while looking at the ceiling, Alan kept trying to come up with a theory or just make sense of some of the evidence that they collect.
Okay... Think Alan, how can all of this either be traced traced back to a culprit or at least be used to locate Gilda Grace, preferably alive. He thought deeply, very deeply, trying to find a clue in everything he saw inside that house.
Sitting up, Alan decided to turn on the TV as sleep wasn't going to happen that night. A cartoon was on, Looney Tunes, which he watched for a bit as he had nothing better to do. I don't really like cartoons, but I got a taste for this one after being forced to watch a whole marathon of it with Harley Quinn. Memories of the time that he spent with her involuntarily passed through his kind.
"The dessert train is arriving," The psychotic blond spoke as she held a spoonful of pinnacle ice cream. "Chooo! Chooo!" She imitated the noise of a train as she spoon-fed the sidekick.
The memory was one where Robin accidentally got captured by the Joker and Harley Quinn during his first nights as Batman's sidekick. With him ending up completely tied up with duct tape inside of an ice cream truck with Harley Quinn.
"That's a good boy." She said while patting him on the head. Robin honestly found the entire experience humiliating, but he knew better not to risk it, his father warned him that both the Joker and Harley Quinn were very unpredictable. "Now, be a good little boy and stay put as aunt Harley goes to check on the Batsy and Mr. J, okay Junior?" Somehow, both her and the Joker immediately figured out that he was Batman's son and started to call him Junior.
"Ummm... Okay..." He was forced to comply, but he was about to try to find a way out of that predicament to go help his father.
Suddenly, a very loud explosion was heard by them. "Oh, I guess is unnecessary." It was her response for what just happen. "Oh well..." Without any type of warning, Harley Quinn grabbed Robin's head and pulled him into a hug, burying his face on her chest, and started to caress his messy hair like he was kitten. "I guess is just the two of us until they're done playing." She told him with her childish voice as Robin struggled to breath as he was being suffocated by her chest. "Oh, I know!" The psycho woman pushed his head off her chest and forcibly pushed him into floor. Then she layed besides him and pull out a cellphone. "Let's watch some cartoons together."
Alan shakes the strange memory off, as it actually took Batman three whole hours to go save him from her. Luckily, they did only watched cartoons, but he was deeply afraid of her snapping on him and smashing his head in with that sledgehammer of hers.
Which happens on the cartoon in the exact same way that he feared. Causing Alan to let out a small chuckle in response.
"Hmm..."
The next day came by quickly, despite Alan barely getting any sleep the previous night. His father had to go encounter Harvey to discuss his campaign, though it was clear that he went reluctantly due to the suspicion, but he was still giving him the benefit of the doubt until it was proven.
Alan decided to spent his morning browsing through some of the GCPD files in order to get some extra information about the late Paul Sloane. Unfortunately, all that he could find about him, were some accusations of drug possession and drunk driving but nothing else.
What else is there to check? Alan thought as he eat an nicely done French omelette that Alfred made him. The debate between Harvey and Hill will occur tomorrow and Blackmask definitely has something planned. He thought as he slowly chewed his delicious breakfast.
After swallowing, he decided to check something just for the sake of it. Which were the files regarding Harvey Dent. No crimes under him, a spotless record. Harvey did, however, had a lot condemnations under his name. Hmmm... Something passed through Alan's head as he couldn't help but notice something.
Deciding to actually check the number of Harvey's cases that were actually absolved in court. There was a very low number but... The few names that he managed to get, he decided to check what happened to them. Dammit, this isn't good... They were all dead, all the same cause of death. There's absolutely no way for this to be a coincidence. But the chances of it being actually a set up are incredibly low also.
He decided to take one last look on Harvey's file to check. Just to see of he can find anything else. Wait? But upon his return, he realized that there was a file of another Dent there. Christopher Dent... By the date, it's probably Harvey's father. It had nothing to do with the current situation but he decides to take a look just to be certain. Classicdrunk... It was Alan's immediate opinion on the person as the file was filled with alcohol related crimes, such as drunk driving, bar brawls, sexual harassment, etc. But the one that stood out the most, was one of domestic abuse. Reading the details, Harvey was clearly on the receiving end of physical abuse at the hand of his father. Until the day his father was mysteriously killed by... "Wait...?" Christopher Dent was killed by getting shot in the head with a 9mm handgun in the backyard of his home.
"Okay..." Alan spoke out loud as the similarities of the mysterious deaths of all of these individuals couldn't be coincidence. Especially since they were all somewhat connect with Harvey Dent. This is bad, if Harvey is indeed guilty for all of this murders... Alan thought as he typed something on the Bat-Computer.
What Alan was searching for, was every single file he could find on every single system that the Bat-Computer is connected to. To see if he can find something about Harvey that he could somehow use it to investigate further. If he was indeed the one that kill all of those people, I need to see if there's any possible way to prove it. After several minutes of scrolling on piles of files, Alan finally saw an interesting one.
A psychological profile performed on Arkham Asylum several years ago. Whatever was inside that file, it had to be important, because it took a lot of work to get in that file from the Arkham Asylum system. Strange, why was this so difficult to get through? He thought before opening the file, and finding something interesting. "Hmmm... So this is what you're hiding in the dark, Dent." Alan spoke out loud as he read Harvey's file.
Before the sidekick could do anything else. His cellphone started to vibrate. It was his father. "Perfect timing." He spoke before grabbing the phone.
"Alan." He heard his father through the phone.
"You called it in a perfect time, I f-" He tried to inform him of his discovery but he was interrupted.
"Put the news on." His father ordered him.
"Huh?" He was confused but he obeyed, putting the news on in the Bat-Computer. "Oh..." There was an lot of disappointment on that single noise.
The body of Gilda Grace was discovered this morning.
The sidekick read it on the screen. Causing a pause to ensure.
...
...
...
"Shall we..." Alan was going to ask if they should go to the crime scene.
"Yes, meet me there." His father also seemed disappointed but he retained his composure.
"Alright, see you there." Alan said it before he hang up. He was going to inform his father of his discovery on the crime scene.
Turning around, he immediately made his way towards the display to put his suit on in order to become Robin.
Questions and Answers:
Had a stray thought but I hope Alan at some point befriends the other clone of Superman flying around that being Bizarro
Also the more I think on it the more I think Alan should be way beyond the level of power of Superboy due to his own genetics and the fact his mere existence is a miracle
This will be random but I hope despite who they are normally connected to we see Alan adopt the Hyena's Bud and Lou
Can I also add in this world I hope Catwoman never took a real interest in Batman… what I'm hoping Alan gets all the Gotham sirens haha
Other things I hope we could see Alan do
Become the owner of the Iceberg Lounge
Buy out Lexcorp and other more Gotham based Corps
Change his Robin costume ditching the traditional colours of Robin for a mostly grey outfit with black or blue as a secondary colour and with any future suit when he takes up his next hero identity be it Bat related or not hope with the suit it's both tech and magic based
I'm also hoping Alan has had more mentors than just Bruce one of course being Diana but he's had at least one other mentor that being Minhkhoa Khan Aka Ghostmaker or to Alan uncle Ghost or uncle Khoa with Alan also getting a bit of a laugh from how the two compete with each other and his other possible instructor being Lady Shiva
Hoping Alan also has a habit of when the dynamic duo go to Arkham he goes off to speak to certain inmates like Harley and Ivy of course but also others like Killer Croc, Clayface, Ventriloquist etc
Ironically, Bizarro is the only person of the "Super Family" that Alan is nice with.
As I explained, Alan's powers are a more developed then Superboy's due to Alan being exposed to yellow sun radiation for longer than he did.
He kind of has a pretty disturbing type of relationship with Harley Quinn, so he kind gets along with the Hyenas.
Alan's relationship with the Gotham Sirens will be explored later as each of the three has a weird kind of relationship with Alan.
Those two will be nearly impossible as the current owners would never sell it. (Though, he would definitely do it if they were no around.)
He does learn magic from Zatanna, so it's a possibility.
Oh yes, Alan is the type of person that is always ready to learn something else.
His dynamic with his rogue gallery will be something like this:
Example:
{
Robin: Can I ask you a question?
Poison Ivy: Go on.
Robin: That plant that you gave it to me as a gift, it could kill me couldn't it?
Poison Ivy: Yes.
Robin: Why didn't you use it then?
Poison Ivy: You took such a good care of my gift that I thought it would be a waste.
}
{
Riddler: Admit it, I almost had you!
Robin: It can't be seen, can't be felt, can't be heard, and can't be smelled. It lies behind stars and under hills, and empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, ends life, and kills laughter. What is it?
Riddler: You, giving me, a riddle?!
Robin: If you don't know the answer, just say it.
Riddler: The dark.
Robin: You did almost had me, but the darkness saved me and doomed you.
}
{
Clayface: What gave me away?
Robin: Your feet were way too apart.
Clayface: Dammit, how could I make such novice mistake.
Robin: You only had fifteen minutes to prepare for the role, even a great actor like you couldn't get it completely right under those circumstances.
}
Well looking forward to when Alan is done being Robin and if he'll actually become the next Batman or rebrand as Batlord whatever haha
Speaking of hope none of the other canon Robins appear in this
Looking forward to the toys Alan gets
Liked the preview from when Alan is going to be leading his version of the Titans hope the next line from someone in that scene is someone telling Beastboy plus Terra has a thing for Alan haha
Still nice to know some more of the girls in the harem and cool to learn that Raven will be feeding on his emotions to keep her own in check which is good that way the local area won't be destroyed if Alan and her decide to get intimate or if he ever complimented her ass or heck if Starfire wants to get intimate with her to etc
He may become Batman Beyond or something else.
No, like I said, Alan is a mash up of every single main Robin, Superboy and Terry Mcginnis {Batman Beyond.}
He possesses Dick's charisma, though he's more introverted. He also shares a bit of his fighting style, as he uses several acrobatic attacks when fighting.
He possesses a bit of Jason's rage and his tendency for brutality. {Alan doesn't kill but he has a tendency of brutalizing his opponents.}
He has Tim's intellect and wit and his pragmatism in combat. {He uses a lot of outside of the box tactics to win fights.}
And his relationship with Batman is basically a more peaceful version of his relationship with Damian. {With the two actually being father and son , despite the circumstances of his birth.}
He has Superboy's powers but his struggle of being a clone is the polar opposite of him as he despises Superman and wants nothing to do with him.
He's overall just a different take of the character of Terry McGinnis, basically being my take of what would Terry have turned out if he was raise by Batman and Alfred instead of being trained later.
Alan is a pragmatist, he's the type of guy that collects tools to add to his arsenal.
At first, Alan refuses the leadership role due to considering himself more of a lone-wolf and a follower than a leader, but after a lot of insistence, he ends up accepting it.
HA!
By the way since you've already replied to all the Disney stuff no need to talk about that in the replies in the next chapter of this
Can I assume then that Alan hating his Kryptonian side extends from the fact in this world Clark had a even more negative reaction to him being cloned than he did in Young Justice so with Clarks complete rejection of Alan he in turn completely rejects Clark
Now while he might be similar to Superboy I hope Alan has some extra powers Conner didn't get like all the types of vision ie Heat Vision and I hope Alan shows a higher tolerances of Kryptonite radiation than anyone else due to every now and then using exposing himself to some of the Kryptonite old Bat Dad keeps in the cave to build up more resistance to the stuff
Oh and while Alan might think Cassie or Donna's or better yet both of theirs interest in him is purely due to with Aphrodite I hope that isn't the case but Aphrodite could just see the clear feelings they and many girls have for him
Other pairing suggestions Mera, Dolphin, pretty much everyone who has taken the mantle batgirl, Fire and Ice
Pretty much, Batman and Wonder Woman didn't took long to accept him so he chooses to favor the two over Superman. {Alan loves, admires and idolizes Batman and worships Wonder Woman.}
As a Kryptonian, the base of all of Superboy's powers were derived from the yellow sun. Due to his unique genetic makeup, Superboy absorbed the sun's radiation and converts it into energy for his other abilities. However, due to his human DNA and the fact that Conner was in his teens when he was first introduced to the yellow sun, his cells can't store nearly as much radiation as Superman's. Alan on the other hand, was exposed for much longer than he did and will be capable of store almost as much radiation as Superman eventually.
Cassie does develop a crush on him on the day they met {Despite the two being technically cousins as Cassie is the daughter of one of Wonder Woman's half-brothers.} Donna would be the classic, beat her to bed her. {But Alan suspects that it's because of the fact the he's Wonder Woman's son and basically Zeus's grandson.}
Why not both? Donna n Cassie r both Diana's sidekicks. BTW u make it sound like Alan has no interest in love from his girls. That's kinda a letdown if that's the case like they don't mean much to him. Well, since u confirmed Starfire, Barbara, Orphan, Raven n Wonder Girl(s) to be in the harem, I hope the rest would be Spoiler, Lady Shiva, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, White Rabbit, Cheetah, Cheshire, Black Canary, Huntress, Lady Blackhawk, Zatanna, Miss Martian, Ravager, Supergirl n Power Girl. I know u said he hates his alien DNA but if he were to give Kara n Karen a chance. Also, wouldn't he also have Amazon genes too? Why doesn't he hate that? Update soon. N get a laptop.
Well, It's because I didn't know which one to give the title of Wonder Girl to, but, maybe Cassie can be Wonder Girl while Donna can be Troia.
You have to understand that Alan is still technically a child {Biologically, he's a teenager but technically, he's still a child.} and is socially awkward, adopting a bit of Batman's stoicism. He's still getting the hang of this type of relationships.
Unlike Clark, Kara repetitively tries to get close to Alan since he's technically family. But Alan only acts indifferent and makes it clear that he doesn't want anything to do with her or Superman. Though, that doesn't stop her from giving him a Kryptonian name.
{
Supergirl: "Listen, I know you're angry but you can't just ignore this."
Robin: "I can, I am."
Supergirl: [Sigh] "Ken-El, I under-"
Robin: "I TOLD YOU A THOUSAND OF TIMES TO NOT CALL ME THAT BLOODY NAME!"
}
Explanation:
His hate towards Superman and his Kryptonian DNA is a result of two factors. You see Alan was a failed experiment that was discarded as an imperfect clone and he's perfectly aware of that, and part of him actually feels like he isn't even a real person as a result, but his response is basically reject the notion that he's a failed experiment and chose to be his own person no matter his DNA . Another factor was Superman's reaction to him upon their first meeting, which, wasn't the greatest... Which lead Alan to completely reject his connection with Superman and instead completely embrace his connection with Batman's. {Batman's reaction towards Alan at first was skeptical, but he eventually realized that he was harmless and had a lot of potential, so he took almost full responsibility for him. Acknowledging as his son and giving him his last name, training him to become his sidekick and eventual successor and even making him the heir of his fortune.}
Wonder Woman's reaction to him was the complete opposite, although she was bit weirded out at first by the fact that he was a partial clone of hers , she got it over quickly when she realized that he was practically a just a confused child and became super fond of him after a while to the point where she considers Alan her son. {Alan wouldn't mind using her powers if he had them, but Wonder Woman's powers are the result of a Divine Empowerment and it's not something that he can inherit through DNA. But Alan practically worships Wonder Woman.}
Since there was a preview of Alan and the male titans could we get a preview of him with the female titans like Raven, Starfire, Cassandra and the wonder girl.
Raven in particular could be fun getting the reaction of someone complimenting her figure like Alan, Star and the other girls would.
Fine, but just a short one:

As his mind wondered during his deep relaxation, Alan couldn't help but wonder what exactly was the purpose of this. Part of him still didn't trust Raven completely, not because she was untrustworthy, but because he felt like her demonic side may take over despite her best efforts to contain it. An unfortunate outcome, mainly because she doesn't deserve it.
"So good of you to think so..." He heard her voice, not that he was surprise, he already expected her to be reading his mind. "You can open your eyes now." She told him.
The Son of Themyscira then opened his piercing dark blue eyes and was greeted by the violet-blue eyes of the daughter of Trigon. Both of their faces were inches away from one another as they both sat in a meditation stance in front of one another. Alan noticed that they weren't inside Raven's room anymore, instead, they were inside a very bright but strange and empty realm with the sky being a tone of a very vivid blue, with several strange lights in the flashing around them. But the thing the called the most attention, was the fact that they were floating inside mid space. "Is this...?"
"Your mind." Raven confirmed his suspicion. The half-demon then looked around with a strange wonder, not that Alan could blame her, as his mind was exceptionally odd. "It's... Chaotic...Yet... Peaceful... At the same time..." She spoke in a somewhat tone of surprise on her voice.
Alan himself couldn't help but also look around. The best way he could describe his mind, was as Raven said, chaotic yet peaceful. Words that should not be used to describe someone like him. His gaze then returned to Raven, who was looking at her surroundings with a strange look on her face. Then her gaze returned to him. With the two staring at each others eyes for nearly a minute. Until Raven extended her both of her hands towards him, she didn't need to say anything for Alan to understand what she wanted him to do. So he also extended both of his hands and held Raven's hand tightly.
A very small pause ensured, until. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" She spoke her incantation.
In a split second, the bright and strange realm that they were in, started to morph into something else, something dark. Before he could even notice, their surroundings turned into an ominous looking realm, with a sky as darker than the darkest night, with menacing dark red spots everywhere that resembled stars, but what called the most attention were strange pair of four giant dark circles that they could see from a distance, they resembled eyes, staring deeply at your soul.
It only took a second for Alan to figure it out what was that place. "Your mind." Raven's response, was to just open her eyes once again and stare deeply into Alan's.
While Alan Thomas Wayne's mind could be considered chaotic yet peaceful, Raven's mind could only be described in one word. "An Abyss of Pure Disharmony?" He didn't even need to say it, Raven spoke before he did. And to his shock, she let out a weak smile in response. "I think that's what I'm gonna call it now." She obviously liked the description that he came up with.
Alan also let out a weak smile in response to what she said.
Suddenly however, something happened. Without any type of warning, the dark sky once again morphed into the vivid blue from Alan's mind. But there was something different, the red spots from Raven's mind were still floating around, but they were bright now and flashing just like the lights that they saw earlier. "What is going on?" Alan asked her in confusion.
But to his surprise, Raven seemed even more confused as she look around. Apparently, she was more confused and surprised than he was. Then she widened her eyes like she realized something, before she turned around in a hurry to see something. It took a second for him to understand that she was actually searching for those four giant dark circles from earlier. Once she saw that they weren't there, she looked dumbfounded, which shocked Alan because the was the most expressive face that he ever saw Raven do.
Sadly, before she could say anything about what was happening.
"Hey, what you two doing?" Suddenly, both heard a voice calling them out, which ended up snapping the two out of their trance. With their surrounding returning back to being Raven's room. Raven was visibly disappointed, and Alan didn't even bothered to turn his head around to see who was calling them as he already knew who was it.
"What do you want, M'gann?" Alan asked Miss Martian bluntly as he sees Raven's face return back to her usual stoic expression.
A small pause ensured before she spoke. "Umm... Roy is asking for you." She informed him.
"Would you kindly tell Roy to stop bothering me until his arm is fully healed, otherwise I'll break the other one." Alan was starting to get annoyed with Red Arrow's constant challenges.
"Why did you do that anyway?" She asked him as she was one of the few that were mad at him for it.
"Because Roy was getting overconfident on his combat abilities and that's a sure way to get yourself killed." Alan explained to her as his last confrontation with Deathstroke was proof of that. "The fact that he keeps challenging me with a barely recovered broken arm only adds to my point."
There was no reply from her, probably because she understood his point. But then she spoke. "The thing is, Roy is asking for you because we have a problem." That caused Alan to finally turn around to face her. "Kid Flash and Orphan did not return and we lost contact with them. .
"What?" Alan immediately stood up from the floor and approached her. "How long since their last contact?" He asked.
"Five hours." She answered him while appearing concerned.
"Dammit." He passed through her and made his way to the command room.
