Wolf Child Of The Justice League Chapter 5
Batman:
No one knows what Superman might've been expecting when it fell to Bruce to take charge of their little foundling, but anyhow it's not even close.
Bruce may have experience with kids to a certain extent, but that's with boys not girls let alone those who can constantly shape shift between human and wolf form at will.
Thankfully one mystery is solved. All Justice League members learned she can talk after they discovered the child's is Harmony.
But the question is how much will she talk since she's barely said a word since they got her.
Unfortunately that's the least of Bruce's worries. If he's displeased about this current predicament then that's nothing compared to Alfred's reaction. Master Dicks he doesn't have to worry about since he's been gone from Wayne Manor for a while now.
Alfred was furious and in disbelief. Of course given Bruce's multiple occupations he's more than familiar with the world of the supernatural and mystics. That doesn't mean he wants them living inside Wayne Manor least of all a dog.
Her arrival is a troublesome hindrance for the loyal butler yet fun for Harmony. Because she's lived amongst wolves and away from normal people for so long it'll take a while to properly acclimate and get used to this type of living environment again.
So choosing Bruce as the first one to babysit Harmony might not have been one of Superman's best ideas to date.
Even worse that Harmony baily lasted a day under the Wayne Manor roof.
Alfred set Harmony up in one of the guest bedrooms for the night. Harmony still retains her table manners passed down by her mother, but her eating habits need a bit of work. Considering she prefers raw meet resembling that as she gets in the wild. When Bruce brought her to the Bat Cave she went for a couple of the bats flying in close proximity to her head, eventually catching and chomping happily on one between her canines. Bruce would prefer she not to do that. Those bats are as much a part of him now after all these years as is his alter ego while in costume. Giving Harmony a bath was like going in a warzone. Harmony constantly reverted back and forth between her human and wolf forms making that a giant challenge. Finally the patient butler managed to nab her while in wolf form by the nape of her scruffy neck. Bruce couldn't decide who had gotten wet more from that experience.
Harmony or Alfred?
Probably Alfred. Harmony soaked him even more after she shook out the water from her fur leaving it nice and fluffy.
Once Alfred situated Harmony in the bedroom he insisted on her sleeping there while human. He will not condone dog hair everywhere over his nice pressed and clean sheets. Alfred was very firm about this.
Much to his dismay the following day as he temporarily forgot that the majority of children at this day and age are prone to mischief. Harmony in particular combined with her born abilities gave him more headaches than he ever had with Bruce or Richard Grayson.
The dawn would prove this in spades the coming day.
As an extra precaution so that there wouldn't be any underlying risk that Harmony would break out and tear the house apart Alfred had locked her door.
When Alfred unlocked and opened it he received a shock.
The entire room was destroyed from the luxurious soft mattress that now had feathers all over the place, platform bedframe, headboard, and canopy where in ruins. The culprit curled up in a cocoon of blankets at the beds edge peacefully sleeping as a wolf.
That's the final straw for Alfred.
Rarely has Bruce seen Alfred that enraged.
Very few things frighten the Batman, but it's not something he wants to endure again.
So it's time for Plan B to be put into effect.
Putting the girl into Bruce's custody was his idea so now Superman has no choice but to take the reins. Definitely going to be the case if Bruce has anything to say about it.
No one can really say no to the Batman whether they're criminals or not. They usually regret it every single time.
Authors Note:
I think we can all agree that the cuteness level in this one is at an all time high. The next one will be the same, but with Superman, Green Lantern, Flash, J'onn, Wonder Woman, and Hawkgirl. This one was just a taster. And I must say that for me it was scrumptious.
This chapter and the one following are highly inspired by the anime movie Wolf Children. I advise you all to check it out. It's beyond fantastic to see.
Also, when in the Justice League Animated Series does Tim Drake appear? Is it before or after Justice League and Justice League Unlimited? I really need to find out where in the timeline he's in for necessary corrections and suggested future purposes if they might come to pass.
Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
I recently put up a new story called Fish Out Of Water. It's a crossover between the movie Shape of Water and the show Siren. So far I have everything figured out except one little thing. A name for my OC. Basically, since my OC character is in fact a mermaid I want the name to be in reference to the oceans or any other body of water similar to lakes or rivers. I'm more than open to suggestions so like I usually do in situations like this I'm turning it into a contest. The reader who gives me the winning name gets a question answered about the plot of the changed storyline in question. So think long and hard guys on the name and the type of question you'd like me to answer. Because you only get the one until the next opportunity arises for the taking. ;D
