So someone *cough Rey cough sneeze* asked to see some Wayne kids interactions. I am very happy to oblige as I have been waiting for someone to give me ideas *cough hint hint cough* and I really love age swapping! It is the best thing to happen to the Bat family. Little Dickie is SO CUTE!
So Rey here you go! A Day in the life of the BatKids!
Disclaimer: no
When Bruce had told Jason and Dick that he and Alfred were going to London for a business trip, the two young teenagers had assumed right away that they would be home by themselves.
Nope.
Apparently Bruce did not trust them enough and had called in Terry, his oldest son, who had agreed to stay the week and watch the two kids. Then Terry thought it would be fun to invite everyone else... Terry you dummy.
At four o'clock Jason and Dick were playing video games while Terry read a book in the corner, then the door opened to reveal two people. A blond eighteen year old girl wearing caprese and a purple tank top and a nineteen year old boy with black hair and blue eyes like Dick wearing a red t-shirt and shorts. Both had bags over their shoulders and were smiling.
"Steph! Tim!" Dick yelled and ran at his older siblings, hugging Stephanie around the waist. Remember that Dick is short and 13.
Stephanie hugged him back, "Hey baby bird! How are you?"
"I'm great now that you're back."
"Jay hasn't been bothering you has he?"
"Aww. I'm hurt Brown. I really am." Jason said from the couch. He threw a wave at Tim who waved back and that ended their heartfelt reunion.
Stephanie stuck her tongue out at Jason. "Hey Terry. How are you?"
"I'm fine. How college treating you two?"
Tim and Steph groaned at the same time.
"That great huh?"
"It's a nightmare, honestly."(anyone else read that like Ron Weasley?) Tim said. "I thought highschool was bad."
Terry laughed at his little brother, "Well at least you get this week off."
"Yeah thank God. I'm just glad it's just us fiv-"
Tim was cut off when a voice called from outside, "Hey Grayson! Come help me with these boxes!"
Dick grinned and called back, "Okay Damian! Be right there!" He smirked at Tim before running out the door and stopping in front of a twenty-two year old man who looked like a younger Bruce. Damian was almost twice Dick's size, wearing a black turtle neck, khakis and dress shoes (Dami is so fancy). He handed Dick a cardboard box then grabbed his shoulder bag and the two walked back to the house, Dick smiling and talking while Damian kept a solemn look.
"-and Alfred left a ton of waffles in the fridge for Steph and I saw Terry bring some coolers in at one point and..." He stopped talking as Tim and Damian stood in front of each other, both trying to out-scowl the other. Dick and Steph slowly moved away from them as things sometimes got messy when Damian and Tim fought.
But Tim just held out his hand, "Truce?"
Damian nodded and shook, "Just for this week."
You could feel the air pressure lighten in the room.
Steph looked at Dick, "So you said something about waffles?"
Dick nodded and she followed him into the kitchen leaving the four older boys behind.
Terry and Tim sat in opposite chairs and talked about recent crime activity while Terry joined Jason at the game counsel. They don't really socialize with each other do they? Dick and Steph were making a mountain of waffles when the door bell rang and they stuck their heads outside the kitchen door to see who it was.
Damian had opened the door and was talking to a young woman with short black hair, grey eyes and asian features. She was beautiful to say the least and was wearing baggy track pants, sandals and a grey tank top.
"CASS!" Dick and Steph yelled together and glomped their older sister. Cassandra smiled and patted Dick's head.
"It's good to see you again too." Dick beamed and Jason appeared next to him, giving Cass a genuine hug.
Dick grabbed on again as well as Stephanie and Tim and pretty soon it was one big pile of BatKids on the floor laughing because they had fallen over into a dog-pile. Or rather Bat-pile. Even Damian was laughing (that means it was really funny). At ten to five Terry walked towards the kitchen.
"Anybody want to help with dinner?"
Dick immediately put up his hand like a schoolboy answering a question.
"Well then come on Dickie-bird. We're making pizza."
"No mushrooms on mine!" Jason called.
"And don't forget the pepperoni!"
"And some bacon bites!"
"Do we have any vegetarian?"
"Eww. Dude you can't have veggie pizza. There's meat in the sauce."
"There is such a thing as tomato sauce Todd."
"I like veggie."
"No one asked you Brown."
"Don't talk to her like that Jason."
"Don't tell me what to do Drake."
"You are such a-"
"Don't finish that Drake. You are only provoking him."
"Shut up Damian."
"Guys can you please go one day without fighting?"
"Really. You're all acting like a bunch of kids."
"No one asked you two!"
"Jason don't shout indoors."
"Shut up Tim!"
"Don't tell me to shut up!"
"Now you're both yelling."
"Shut up Stephanie!" The two yelled together. Terry sighed and Dick followed him into the kitchen where they started making the pizza. There was a CRASH! sound from the living room and Terry called out,
"I really hope you aren't fighting in there! I'd hate to be the one to call Bruce during his very important meeting and tell him that you guys broke another vase!"
It was surprisingly quieter after that. After all no one wanted to endure the wrath of DadddyBats! An hour later Terry pulled the cooked pizza from the oven and set it on the stove. He and Dick had put pepperoni, green and red peppers, sausage and bacon on one side, and plenty of cheese on the pizza. The kitchen had survived Terry but Dick had suffered from major flour coverage, the white powder coating the boy's head, shoulders and shirt but Dick didn't seem to mind. Everyone gathered around the high counter, grabbing plate fulls of pizza (it was a pizza ment to serve twenty) and spreading out around the wide screen TV and watching 'The Legend of Zorro'. At around two a.m Terry had to literally carry Dick to bed after he had fallen asleep; he was still covered in flour.
Stephanie yawned and stretched her arms, "Okay. I'm crashing. Goodnight."
"Me too. Goodnight." Cass and Steph disappeared up the stairs and into their rooms. Terry came back down and sat on the couch next to Jason, who was nearly asleep on the couch arm.
"Jay maybe you should go to bed."
Jason mumbled something that sounded like 'shut up' and Terry chuckled. Damian got up from his chair, grabbed Jason's arm and threw the sixteen year old over his shoulder. Jason didn't even fight it as Damian carried him to his room and deposited the passed out boy in his bed. When Damian was back downstairs Terry and Tim were laughing quietly.
"What is so funny?"
"Just that if Jason was fully awake he would have tried to kick your ass rather than be carried upstairs."
Tim snorted, "And why was Dick covered in flour? What did you try to do Terry? Bake him along with the pizza?"
"No. He couldn't reach the flour and the bag fell on him. I swear that kid hasn't grown an ich since he was ten."
Damian agreed, "He is very small for someone his age."
"Yeah but he got to skip a grade. He's thirteen and already in highschool. That's gotta be tough."
"Jason said he has some friends." Damian said. "And apparently they are all metas except for the Artemis girl."
Terry and Tim looked at him, so Damian continued. "Mr. Kent's son goes to the same school and he and Richard are friends. As are Wally West, Artemis Crock, Megan Mores, and a new student named Kaldur'Ahm. I believe we all know their mentors."
Terry looked dumbfounded (or maybe it was all the beers he had), "No way. I didn't know Orin had a new student-"
Crash!
Terry looked around, "What was that?"
Tim stood up, "That came from upstairs."
Now being the amazing BatKids that they were, trained by Batman and badass heros in their own right, they were also living as the adopted children of Gotham's white knight and billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne. A quiet crash coming from upstairs only meant two things: A) one of the other kids had accidentally broken something (it happened a lot) or B) someone was breaking in to either I) steal something or II) kidnap of of them.
"Does anyone other than Bruce or Alfred know that there are more of us here?" Tim asked Terry.
Terry shook his head, "I called you guys after Bruce left. Nobody else should know that we are here."
"But that still means that someone could know if Dick and Jason are still here. They live with Bruce and if he's out of town-" Tim didn't even finish as they rushed upstairs to check on everyone. Tim was half-way down the hall when he literally ran into Stephanie.
"Ow. Jesus Tim watch where you're going."
"Sorry. Did you hear that crash?"
"Yeah. Me and Cass were just reading in my room when we heard it." Cass stepped out of Steph's room at that moment. "Did you guys break something again?"
"Not us." Steph's eyes narrowed. "Did you check on Jason and Dick?"
"No. Like I said we just heard it and I was coming down to check on you."
There was another crash noise. This time everyone heard it coming from just beyond Stephanie's room.
The five ran down the hall and nearly made it to Dick's room-
When a couple dozen thugs crashed through the windows and doors.
"Shit." Terry cursed. All five got into a fighting position, well aware that they could easily take these losers down when someone walked out of Dick's room, a unconscious, flour covered thirteen year old under their arm.
"Two Face." Tim spat.
The mad man smiled- well, half-smiled. "Well lookie here. All of Wayne's brats are home for the holidays. Back off kids or I'll be forced to play with tiny here's fate." Two Face held up his double sided coin and motioned to Dick. The teens dropped their guard and a big thug wearing two different colours clothes walked out of Jason's room with Jason laying limply over his shoulder.
"Got the other one boss."
"Good." Harvey put the coin away in exchange for a shot gun. "Now you kids need to go to bed now. Don't want you stayin' up past your bed time."
"What are you doing with my brothers?" Stephanie yelled at the criminal.
Two Face chuckled, "Kind of blond aren't we? With your daddy out a town it'll be easier to snatch a few million bucks from him, unless he doesn't want his kids back. Now scram."
They didn't really have a choise, unless they wanted to expose their secret ID's to a Gotham Drug Lord, so everyone piled into Stephanie's room and waited until they were sure that Two Face was gone.
"I'm going to beat the crap out of that monster." Tim hissed.
Cass looked like she was ready to tear someones head off, "Agreed. I do not like watching our younger brothers being used like this."
"No one does Cass. We'll go down to the cave, grab our uniforms and take off after them."
And that they did. It was easy to find Two Face, the second warehouse on dock 2, and found the maniac along with his goons and a tied-to-a-chair-and-unconcious Dick and Jason. Two Face looked horrified as BatGirl(Steph), BlackBat(Cass), Red Robin(Tim), Renegade(Damian) and Nightwing(Terry) all stood on top the piles of crates in the corner.
"Really Harvey? Kidnapping again? Low on cash are we?" Nightwing said nonchalantly.
Two Face growled, "Blast them!" He yelled then fired his gun at the heros. Hahaa. Bad move Harvey. The heros easily beat up the thugs, threw them in a pile in the far corner and turned to Two Face.
"Are you going to come quietly or do you really want Renegade here to beat the tar out of you? He's been looking for a good fight all night." Tim taunted.
Damian cracked his knuckles to add emphasis.
Two Face held up his hands in surrender but Cass tackled him in the side with her foot anyways.
Once Two Face was cuffed to a pole and left for the cops, Terry and Damiam carried their unconscious siblings back to the manor and put them back in bed.
"Maybe it's a good thing Dick has superpowered friends." Tim said. "I mean, look at all the trouble he gets into even when he isn't Robin. This kids a danger magnet."
It was true. And everyone laughed at the inside joke. They would never let anything happen to their family.
Well Rey, there you have it! From goofy bonding time to GIVE-ME-BACK-MY-BROTHERS-OR-SO-HELP-ME! bonding. I hope you enjoyed and please review. Don't worry the next chapter will contain the team since this is mainly about them anyways.
Goodnight everybody!
