Requested by: Guest - Ava gets turned into a three year old.


Ava Ayala, aka White Tiger duck as a vine aimed right for head crashed into the ground. She's been helping her boyfriend Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, and his family track down the female villain Poison Ivy. The Batfamily and the tigress finally tracked her down to a warehouse.

She slashed at an incoming vine, which threw Ivy into rage.

"How dare you!"

Ava raised an eyebrow behind her mask. "Red Hood and Robin are doing more damage than I am!"

Dick and Barbara, aka Batgirl, chuckled as they tried to get through the attacking vines to Ivy.

Ava noticed Ivy pulling a bag full of dust from behind her. She attached it to a vine and sent it off. Ava saw who the vine was aimed for and ran forward.

"LOOK OUT!"

The tigress pushed the dark knight out of the way before the vine collided with her, causing the bag of dust to explode in her face and threw her backwards through a wall.

"TIGER!"

Bruce took a page out of Ivy's book and attached a knock-out gas bomb to a bat-a-rang and sent it towards her. After it met it's mark, Dick ran to the wrecked wall that his girlfriend was sent to.

"White Tiger?"

Bruce, Damian, Jason, and Barbara joined Dick and looked through the severely fractured wall. A groan caught their attention. It didn't sound like Ava though, it sounded higher, younger.

"Ava?"

Two tiny, white gloved hands placed themselves on the concrete and heaved themselves up.

The present members of the Batfamily stared in shock at the tiny figure.

Barbara's eyes widened behind her cowl.

"Oh my god."

-Time skip-

Selina Wayne and Tim Drake were sparring with each other in the Batcave while Alfred was preparing coffee when the Batmobile and the wards of the Batfamily came in on their motor cycles.

Selina, Tim, and Alfred were confused when they saw Damian on Dick's bike. And he wasn't wearing his cape

Tim looked at his little brother. "Where's Dick?"

Selina raised an eyebrow. "And where's your cape?"

Damian smirked before pointing towards the Batmobile. The two saw Dick climb out with Damian's cape wrapped around his torso.

Alfred noticed the absence of a certain tigress. "Where's Miss Ava?"

Dick pursed his lips, trying not to laugh as he turned around. Selina and Tim gasped when they say a three year old Ava who appeared to be pouting with her arms crossed.

Tim opened his mouth to ask what happened when Ava gave him a sharp glare.

"I don't want to talk about it."

-Time Skip-

Bruce looked at the data on the Batcomputer. "Based on the data, the effect of Poison Ivy's rejuvenating powder should last for about a week."

Ava pulled off her mask and sighed. "Well, I suppose it could be worse."

Selina and Barbara awed. Big, caramel eyes looked up in confusion.

"What?"

Selina swooped Ava up in her arms. "Aren't you the cutest little kitten I've ever seen!"

Ava groaned and tried to pull away as Selina cuddled her close.

"I'm not a cat, I'm a tiger! I-"

Ava was cut off when Barbara started rubbing her behind her ears. She purred and leaned into Barbara's touch. Meanwhile, the males of the Batfamily were trying not to laugh. Even Bruce was having trouble covering up his mirth.

"You need some clothes, little one."

Ava tried to pull herself away from the trance Barbara put her under. "I have clothes."

Barbara smiled. "Not clothes that fit you."

The two females headed upstairs to the Manor to change before going shopping. Ava looked over Selina's shoulder and saw the boys trying really hard not to laugh.

"Oh shut up!"

The boys, including Bruce, burst out laughing.

-Time Skip-

Two days later, Bruce was walking down the hall and saw Ava reading in the library. He froze before backtracking and got a better look at what Ava was reading.

Fifty Shades of Grey.

Bruce sprinted forward before plucking the book out of Ava's hands and picked her up before walking quickly out of the room.

"That is not a book you should be reading."

Ava looked at back at the book in confusion. "But I was reading it before I was like this."

Bruce didn't look back. "And you can read it when you're back to normal."

"But-"

"No."

"Okay."

-Time Skip-

Ava tried to even her breathing as she attacked the punching bag in the Batcave. Luckily she snuck down here before anyone noticed her.

"What do you think you're doing Ayala?"

The little tigress whirled around and saw Damian looking at her with an amused expression.

"Just because I'm three years old doesn't mean I can't keep my skills sharp."

The son of Batman held up his hands in surrender. "I'm not criticizing you. I was actually going to see if you wanted to spar."

Ava's huge, tiger cub-like eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"

Damian nodded. "Like you said, just because you're three years old doesn't mean you can't keep your skills sharp."

A huge smile crossed Ava's face. "Okay!"

The two walked to the center of the cave and got into ready positions.

"Let's not tell the others about this though, alright?"

"Agreed."

-Time Skip-

"Ava?"

Dick walked through the living room looking for the tiny tigress. He heard a tiny sneeze from behind the couch. Silently chuckling to himself, he sat and rested his chin on the back of the couch before looking down with a grin.

"Hi."

Ava looked up with pleading eyes. "Please don't tell Selina or Babs."

Dick raised an amused eyebrow. "And why not?"

The temporary three year old grimaced. "They want to do weird stuff like dress up and makeovers when all I want to do is read!"

Dick chuckled before plucking Ava from behind the couch.

"Well how about you and I go to the library and pick something to read, okay?"

The cub nodded eagerly. "Okay."

"But,,,, you have to have at least one session of dress up and makeovers with Sel' and Barb, okay?"

Ava rolled her eyes adorably. "Fine."

-Time Skip-

The next day, after Ava lived up to her promise of playing dress up/makeover with Selina and Barbara, Ava and Dick curled up in the library with Where the Wild Things are.

That's where the Batfamily found them. Curled up together on the couch fast asleep.

Selina looked at her husband. "You said the effects of Ivy's rejuvenating powder only lasts until tomorrow, yes?"

Bruce looked at his wife. "Yes."

Selina looked at the sleeping bird and tiger with a gentle smile. "Let's not wake them up."

After laying a blanket over them, the Batfamily turned off the lamp light and left the pair fast asleep.
