Chapter 9
Bruce's POV
I read today's morning paper as I eat my breakfast of pancakes and bacon and drank my morning cup of coffee. Pancakes were a rare food normally but we had them several times since the boys got deaged.
The boys seemed to like eating pancakes compared to eating healthier foods. They are currently children right now and just know that it tastes good. I told myself.
Clark had finally written up the false story that I had given him a couple of days ago. This was good news I could finally bring them into town! We needed some supplies that would look odd if the public didn't know about them.
I think that I will take the boys out of the house today at least if they wish to leave the manor and I would think that at least one of them would want to go out after having to stay in the manor for the last couple of days due to there being rain.
"Good morning, boys! Thanks for not waking me up this morning." I told them as they entered the dining room from the main room where they were playing together until Alfred told them it was breakfast time around a minute ago.
"Morning Daddy!" Dick greeted me as he bounced over to his seat at the table. He was in a good mood but aside from the doctor's visit I hadn't seen him in a different mood.
"Morning Father." Damian greeted me as he calmly walked over and got into a seat right next to where Dick was sitting. It wasn't where he normally sat but maybe in their false memories they changed where they sat.
Tim and Jason came over to the table without speaking to each other or too me. Why was Jason being so quiet today? We had gotten over his not feeling right here hadn't we.
"What do you want to do today? We can go into town today though it is still raining so we can't go to the park." I asked the boys while we ate breakfast.
"Of course Daddy, I'd love to go into town! It will be fun to go but where would we be going?" Dick responded immediately to my question.
"Could we go to the library in town, Daddy?" Tim asked me. At his younger age he seemed to really like reading and books. Going there would be easy.
"How long is it going to take you to get back on our training so that we can join you in the field?" Damian demanded from me. Okay, he was against going out into town.
"We are not training today because we need to get some shopping done and you boys need to get out of the house today. You've built up energy over days being coped up and yes we can go to the library." I replied back to them calmly.
Yes, we really need to go shopping. I could ask Alfred to do it but the boys needed to get out of the house soon they had a whole lot of energy.
We needed to get more supplies for the boys that we couldn't get before people knew that they are younger. We needed more clothing for them for one thing.
Toys and games might also be a helpful thing to get along with some more books. Tim had read nearly all the children's books we had at the manor.
There weren't that many to begin with but he loved reading and at this age there didn't appear to be much that he seemed to like doing.
"That sounds great, Daddy!" Dick exclaimed towards me while jumping up and down. He definitely needed to get out of the house.
"Thanks, Daddy!" Tim exclaimed quietly. He showed his excitement quietly and it was not clear in his movements.
"Fine, Dad." Jason told me while rolling his eyes and continuing to eat his breakfast. He didn't care either way if we were going or not.
"Fine Father if we must not train for another day that will not be so bad." Damian told me before huffing grumpily.
Damian's response brought a question to mind. How long could I avoid training them before they became suspicious of me.
"When you finish eating breakfast go to your rooms and change into your clothes they were washed last night. When you are all dressed we can go to the mall and then the library." I told them what to do to get ready for the day.
They went right to their rooms to get dressed after they eat their breakfasts of pancakes and came down dressed quickly.
"Are you ready to head out boys?" I asked them when they arrived back in the dining room after changing into clothing.
"Of course Daddy! I'm ready to go! When can we go?" Dick responded excitedly. He couldn't wait to leave.
"Yes, I am ready to go on this pointless trip, Father." Damian told me while he rolled his eyes at my question.
"Yeah, I'm ready Dad though this is completely pointless." Jason pointed out to me what he thought about the trip.
"I'm ready." Tim told me in a very small voice as he clung to my leg barely looking up when he spoke to me.
"Okay then boys, we can go into town now." I told them and we exited the house and went into the safest car I owned. I still needed to get real children seats not homemade ones.
Just another thing on the long list of things that we would have to get while we were in town.
