Slight batman au, where batman is only so serious during justice league meetings and at the watchtower bc it's a life or death job.
So, imagine outside of being batman and being in danger Bruce Wayne is actually , like , funny and not serious at all outside of work.
Also, I love the young Bruce Wayne headcannons, where he's in his early 20s and all the children are closer in age. So, he's a good dad but really young,so knows tiktok and songs.
Imagine the justice league seeing him at a gala with people he knows, like if Oliver queen was his friend, and he's just fucking about, not at all serious like as batman. And they think there's something wrong or he's acting when he's actually just having fun.
Add in the au where dc and marvel are in the same universe and you get early 20s Bruce Wayne, Tony stark and Oliver queen messing about and having fun at a gala while the justice league is shocked that Bruce can do much as laugh.
Bruce, Tony and Oliver escaped kidnappings together, and are eachother's safe space, so they just can't be serious around eachother.
Why Bruce and Ollie are always mad at eachother in JL meetings is because otherwise they'd end up laughing and I stand by that.

Summary: Two Robins stopping by your apartment is never a good sign. Especially when they have a very small, very familiar kid in tow.
Word Count: 1.1k+
**gif does not belong to me**
Tumblr media
“Just a minute! Christ, these pizza guys get more impatient by the day.”
The woman stalks from her frankly understocked bathroom, hair half-dry and blowdryer still hot on the counter. She snatches a beat-up leather wallet on her way to the door, kicking discarded boots out of the way.
“What’s the damage?” She calls, likely loud enough to irritate her upstairs neighbor.
“Oh, you’ll see.” The voice is familiar. Very familiar. 
Hand on the doorknob, she halts and huffs a sigh. “Go away, Tim. Jason isn’t even here.”
“Listen, it’s important-”
He starts off with her real name, which gives her pause, as Tim Drake- and all of the Waynes- have been calling her Bug for as long as she’s known them. There’s only two situations she can fathom where Tim would dare use her real name; the first possibility was he had a death wish, and the second was that something was wrong. Horribly wrong.
Bug grinds her teeth before cracking the apartment door and nudging Jason’s pile of miscellaneous weapons to the side. To her surprise, it’s Damian’s face that greets her, complete with a domino mask and sweaty hair. A hood conceals the rest of his face, which connects to a baggy sweatshirt and blue jeans he’s somehow managed to slide over his costume. 
“Damian? Why are you here?” She demands, leaning against the doorframe.
Damian, uncharacteristically silent, shifts awkwardly and points to his left, just out of Bug’s line of sight. She pokes her head into the hallway and observes a similarly dressed Tim Drake, face ducked into his hood while he holds a small, sleeping child in his arms that appears to be wrapped in Damian’s cape. 
“Can we come in? Not exactly inconspicuous out here.”
Bug is not a fan of young children, and she loathes babysitting,  but there is something in Tim’s voice making her stomach twist. His usual robotic tone and calculated movements are absent, and his brow is creased deeply enough that it looks like it hurts. 
“Make it fast.” She permisses, stepping to the side. 
The child in Tim’s arms shifts, but remains with its head tucked into his shoulder. Both boys shuffle inside, Damian making himself at home on her couch while Tim lingers near the kitchen. 
“So, we were fighting this…” Tim scratches his head, careful not to jostle the child, “Wizard.”
Lifting a brow, Bug smirks. “Let me guess. Bruce is adopting another kid that needs a checkup?”
Being associated with the Bat-family and holding a medical degree often resulted in Bug playing pro-bono street doctor. That is, until she nags Bruce about the cost of supplies and he gives an excessive amount of money to continue the care for his ragged group of vigilantes.
“Not exactly. I mean, Jas- er, he does need a checkup.” Tim stammers, “He was caught up in the fight with the wizard.”
Bug’s tongue slides over her teeth and she crosses her arms. “Wanna try that again, Drake?”
“I don’t know, I’m pretty sure you’re gonna be pissed, and you’re scary when you’re pissed.” 
She growls. “Timothy.”
Damian shoots up from the couch, face twisted in irritation. “This immaturity is outrageous.”
He stomps into the kitchen, taking a fierce stance in front of Bug, hands on his hips. 
“Todd appeared in the middle of our fight, which had apparently crossed into his ‘territory’.” Damian begins, and Bug feels her stomach begin to drop. “He refused to let those educated in the art of magic continue the battle, and insisted on joining. While failing to properly gauge his enemy’s attacks, he was struck by a spell.”
Yep, that sounded like her Jason. Bug chews on the inside of her cheeks, attempting to read Damian’s face through the domino. “What kind of spell?”
A breathy laugh slips out of Tim’s mouth, and you look to the older Robin. “The kind that, uh, makesyouintoachildtemporarily.”
Bug blinks. “...Makes you into a child?”
Damian motions to the child in Tim’s hold who is now beginning to shift, small hands clutching fistfuls of his sweatshirt. 
“Obviously.”
“Obviously.” Bug snaps, imitating Damian’s regal accent and posture. “Shut it, hellspawn. Like someone getting fucking de-aged is obvious.”
“Tt. With your level of education, it should be obvious at this point.” Damian shoots back.
Bug opens her mouth to return his attitude, when a small voice beats her. 
“Leave her alone, Demon brat.” 
She looks towards the source, finding familiar teal eyes staring at her. He looks similar enough, Bug thinks, with the piercing eyes and white streak tangled in with black bangs. Though he can’t be made to look older than five or six, something on his face tells her the memories didn’t fade like his age. Bug smiles in his direction, unsure how to approach the situation.
“He remembers everything, but as far as Zatanna could tell, he has the emotional processing of a child. So, it’s a lot. A lot for his brain right now.” Tim murmurs. 
Tiny Jason twists to look at his younger but bigger brother. “I might be pint-sized, but I can still kick your ass, Replacement.”
Bug bursts out laughing at the nickname. Hearing such a small person speak with such animosity is hilarious, no matter the situation. 
“Doubt it, Todd.” 
Jason seems to consider Bug’s reaction and Tim’s words a moment. At first his face grows frustrated, and then begins to redden. Bug tilts her head to the side. “Jason, honey, are you alright?”
Those familiar eyes track to her face again, but this time they’re brimming with tears. A pang of guilt slams into Bug’s gut, and she immediately feels guilty. Tim has just told her he was emotionally vulnerable.
“I’m f-fine.” He starts, “This is all just s-stupid.”
Bug feels a tug on her heart, reaching a hand to brush it over Jason’s unruly hair. “I know it’s all really hard right now.”
Blustery eyes focus on Bug just as his hands reach out, and she doesn’t hesitate to extract him from Tim’s hold. It seems his clothes have been shrunk with him, and if he wasn’t a sniffling mess, Bug would tease him for how adorable his Red Hood armor was. 
“Shh, Jason. It’s alright.” She soothes.”
And just like that, Damian and Tim are strolling towards the door, Tim with your abandoned mug of coffee in one hand. “Thanks, Bug!”
“Um, excuse me?” Her tone stops both Robins in their tracks. “I have questions, Tim.”
Jason continues his soft whimpering, face hidden in Bug’s shoulder. 
Tim drains her coffee mug despite its lukewarm state. “Zatanna said it should wear off shortly, within uh… what’d she say again Damian?” 
“Sixteen hours.”
“...Sixteen hours, yes. Have fun!”
Before Bug can argue, the door slams. 
“Well Jason, I guess it’s you and me.”

The quiet despair of a life after death
"Huh." Tim says, binoculars raised to squint at the drug ring they're spying on. "I- I do it too, kinda. Just drink coffee like it's my blood source instead of eating actual food."
"Ew. I don't get why you drink that. You don't even put milk." Jason never liked coffee, and never will even if he puts a whole bunch of milk and sugar.
"Well, besides the copious amounts of sweetener I add, I also tip in some Red Bull or Monster when Alfred's not looking. For that sweet sweet energy." Tim mumbles, and Jason recoils in disgust.
"How are you alive."
"Pure spite."
Jason deals with the ordeal of being alive, and tries to carve out something for his own.

Word Count: ~3600
Summary: Bruce Wayne is used to being kidnapped, but usually he is also the target and not just a mistake.
Or: Red Hood's men ar incompetent.
"Who the hell is that?" "Bruce Wayne," Tom declared proudly, and Jason tried hard not to fight the green back. "I can see that," he stated, and his voice must have taken on a more than threatening note due to the voice distortion. In front of him, Bruce Wayne was tied to a chair, from which Batman could break out without any problems if he was left out of sight for a few seconds. The positive: Bruce would risk his secret identity only in the highest emergency; the negative: Jason had not ordered his men to kidnap Bruce. "Where's Dick Grayson?" he asked, noticing exactly how the three men flinched. "Um… He was there, but then the opportunity occurred, and we thought …" "Tell me you thought it would be great to kidnap them both. Go ahead and tell me that." Tom now just looked at the floor and his voice trembled, "No, sir. We … We just assumed that Bruce Wayne would be even better than his son. I mean, that's bound to attract the bat." Red Hood growled before pointing to the door, "We'll talk about that. Get out!"

Despite what you may have heard Bruce Wayne is not, in fact, a furry.
He is, however, very opinionated.

Plot armor but it’s Bruce Wayne’s wealth.
Bruce is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce does not want to be one of the richest men in world.
He starts by implementing high starting salaries and full health care coverages for all levels at Wayne Enterprises. This in vastly improves retention and worker productivity, and WE profits soar. He increases PTO, grants generous parental and family leave, funds diversity initiatives, boosts salaries again. WE is ranked “#1 worker-friendly corporation”, and productively and profits soar again.
Ok, so clearly investing his workers isn’t the profit-destroying doomed strategy his peers claim it is. Bruce is going to keep doing it obviously (his next initiative is to ensure all part-time and contractors get the same benefits and pay as full time employees), but he is going to have to find a different way to dump his money.
But you know what else is supposed to be prohibitively expensive? Green and ethical initiatives. Yes, Bruce can do that. He creates and fund a 10 year plan to covert all Wayne facilities to renewable energy. He overhauls all factories to employ the best environmentally friendly practices and technologies. He cuts contracts with all suppliers that engage in unethical employment practices and pays for other to upgrade their equipment and facilities to meet WE’s new environmental and safety requirements. He spares no expense.
Yeah, Wayne Enterprises is so successful that they spin off an entire new business arm focused on helping other companies convert to environmentally friendly and safe practices like they did in an efficient, cost effective, successful way.
Admittedly, investing in his own company was probably never going to be the best way to get rid of his wealth. He slashes his own salary to a pittance (god knows he has more money than he could possibly know what to do with already) and keeps investing the profits back into the workers, and WE keeps responding with nearly terrifying success.
So WE is a no-go, and Bruce now has numerous angry billionaires on his back because they’ve been claiming all these measures he’s implementing are too expensive to justify for decades and they’re finding it a little hard to keep the wool over everyone’s eyes when Idiot Softheart Bruice Wayne has money spilling out his ears. BUT Bruce can invest in Gotham. That’ll go well, right?
Gotham’s infrastructure is the OSHA anti-Christ and even what little is up to code is constantly getting destroyed by Rogue attacks. Surely THAT will be a money sink.
Except the only non-corrupt employer in Gotham city is….Wayne Enterprises. Or contractors or companies or businesses that somehow, in some way or other, feed back to WE. Paying wholesale for improvement to Gotham’s infrastructure somehow increases WE’s profits.
Bruce funds a full system overhaul of Gotham hospital (it’s not his fault the best administrative system software is WE—he looked), he sets up foundations and trusts for shelters, free clinics, schools, meal plans, day care, literally anything he can think of.
Gotham continues to be a shithole. Bruce Wayne continues to be richer than god against his Batman-ingrained will.
Oh, and Bruice Wayne is no longer viewed as solely a spoiled idiot nepo baby. The public responds by investing in WE and anything else he owns, and stop doing this, please.
Bruce sets up a foundation to pay the college tuition of every Gotham citizen who applies. It’s so successful that within 10 years, donations from previous recipients more than cover incoming need, and Bruce can’t even donate to his own charity.
But by this time, Bruce has children. If he can’t get rid of his wealth, he can at least distribute it, right?
Except Dick Grayson absolutely refuses to receive any of his money, won’t touch his trust fund, and in fact has never been so successful and creative with his hacking skills as he is in dumping the money BACK on Bruce. Jason died and won’t legally resurrect to take his trust fund. Tim has his own inherited wealth, refuses to inherit more, and in fact happily joins forces with Dick to hack accounts and return whatever money he tries to give them. Cass has no concept of monetary wealth and gives him panicked, overwhelmed eyes whenever he so much as implies offering more than $100 at once. Damian is showing worrying signs of following in his precious Richard’s footsteps, and Babs barely allows him to fund tech for the Clocktower. At least Steph lets him pay for her tuition and uses his credit card to buy unholy amounts of Batburger. But that is hardly a drop in the ocean of Bruce’s wealth. And she won’t even accept a trust fund of only one million.
Jason wins for best-worst child though because he currently runs a very lucrative crime empire. And although he pours the vast, vast majority of his profits back into Crime Alley, whenever he gets a little too rich for his tastes, he dumps the money on Bruce. At this point, Bruce almost wishes he was being used for money laundering because then he’s at least not have the money.
So children—generous, kindhearted, stubborn till the day they die the little shits, children—are also out.
Bruce was funding the Justice League. But then finances were leaked, and the public had an outcry over one man holding so much sway over the world’s superheroes (nevermind Bruce is one of those superheroes—but the public can’t know that). So Bruce had to do some fancy PR trickery, concede to a policy of not receiving a majority of funds from one individual, and significantly decrease his contributions because no one could match his donations.
At his wits end, Bruce hires a team of accounts to search through every crinkle and crevice of tax law to find what loopholes or shortcuts can be avoided in order to pay his damn taxes to the MAX.
The results are horrifying. According to the strictest definition of the law, the government owes him money.
Bruce burns the report, buries any evidence as deeply as he can, and organizes a foundation to lobby for FAR higher taxation of the upper class.
All this, and Wayne Enterprises is happily chugging along, churning profit, expanding into new markets, growing in the stock market, and trying to force the credit and proportionate compensation on their increasingly horrified CEO.
Bruce Wayne is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce Wayne will never not be one of the richest men in the world.
But by GOD is he trying.

When it rains, it pours
A/N: Enjoy a very short, very aimless drabble. The weather has done nothing here other than be garbage, so I'm projecting :)
Tags: Jason Todd x f!reader, Jason Todd x you, Jason Todd x Reader, Jason Todd, Red Hood, Bruce Wayne, Batman, Bruce Wayne is Batman, Batfam, Batfamily, DC Imagines, Red Hood x f!reader, Red Hood x you, Red Hood x Reader, The Joker, Death in the Family, Lazarus Pits
WARNINGS: none <3
Summary: It rains, you and Jason cuddle
Word Count: 590
Tumblr media
Thunder booms over Gotham City. 
Torrential rain floods the streets, and the flash flood warnings streak across your phone screen. Your open bedroom window lets in a cold breeze, enough to coax you out of bed and close it. 
Wrapped in your comforter like a child in a blizzard, you realize you’d woke up alone. The other side of the bed was empty, and when you laid your hand on the pillow it was cool. You glanced at your bedside clock, where the red letters glowed ‘7:13’. If it weren’t for the wispy gray light of a stormy summer morning, Gotham would still be dark. 
You pad out of your bedroom, the smell of coffee wafting down the hall and into your grateful brain. Gotham Daily news buzzes on the TV but the sound of rain on the covered balcony drowns it out. Trekking that way, you find the door cracked open and the gritty smell of cigarettes combines with coffee. 
Jason is on the balcony, leaned back against the bricks. His head is tipped back as well, cigarette between his lips and eyes closed. You abandon the comforter on the couch, and nudge the door open enough to step out, sidling into Jason’s broad body. His arm winds around you automatically, fingers squeezing into the flesh of your hip. 
“Good morning.” You him, lazily reaching up to pull the cigarette from between his lips. The drag you take elicits a cough, you haven’t smoked since college, but the burn down your throat warms you. 
“G’morning.” He answers, tipping your chin up to press a kiss on your lips. You return it easily, snubbing the cigarette on his ashtray and curling tighter to his body. 
“It’s cold out here.” You observe. “And you hate the cold.”
Jason shrugs. “Was goin’ stir crazy inside.”
Biting the inside of your cheek, you venture on a limb. “You having nightmares again?”
Jason, to his credit, doesn’t react. His eyes flicker to you, catching onto the worry. “Not normally. Just last night, the, uh, thunder. Got all in my head for some reason.”
It wasn’t really surprising. Jason only smoked when the Pit-thoughts were intrusive, or when he was suffering through the worst of his post-traumatic stress. 
You slip around to his front, arms tangling around his neck. Jason responds automatically to your comfort, tucking his face into your neck and breathing in. 
“I love you.” You murmur, scratching your nails against the short hair at his nape. 
“I know.” 
Jason walks you backwards into the apartment, and you giggle when it leads to you both toppling onto the couch. He grabs your discarded comforter and wraps it around you both, wiggling around until you’re both comfortable. 
The sound of rain continues, echoing through the balcony door. Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles in the distance, but Jason seems to ignore it, more focused on finding the TV remote. He curses aloud as it clatters to the floor. 
“Goddamn remote…” Jason flops childishly back into the cushions, and you pillow your head on his chest. “I guess I… really don’t need it though.” 
His nose nuzzles against your crown, and you curl your fingers into his shirt. Warmth bleeds into your clothes, and the smell of rain permeates the apartment. The natural urge to sleep through these storms wraps around you both, and you doze aimlessly as it pours. Each time you drift back to awareness, the rain is still falling. 
So you follow, Jason safe beside you as the rain pulls you both under.
