[Western Crossover] Wayne, the Elementary Schooler

Robin Raising the Kids (and Their Dad): Daily Life

According to a certain big red date who carries two guns and prefers to remain anonymous, this is how it happened:

First, after four rebellious Robins broke their old man's heart and left home one after another, news of Batman suddenly vanished from this world.

Then, pretending they were just "passing by," they sneaked into the Batcave one by one to "visit." But the Batcave was covered in dust, clearly abandoned for a long time.

Finally, after the four little birds left, they were surprised to discover that Wayne Manor, above the Batcave, seemed different. Especially the boy in a school uniform sitting in the back seat of the car driving out of the manor.

They heard the driver call him Young Master Bruce.

The little birds later discovered that their old man was much more well-behaved at this point in time than in their own timeline.

At this point, Bruce Wayne isn't Batman yet.

He still has homework to do.

But he's adorable.

And he knows how to compliment people.

And he smiles.

PS: Bruce Wayne is based on his characterization in Season 1 of the TV series Gotham.

PPS: This is primarily a DC story. Other characters will appear, but not often. Everyone's relationships are familial or friendly.

Warnings: Timeline confusion, OOC, stereotypes, and major changes to the original. I may go back and revise the story.

Theme: Putting yourself in someone else's shoes and making peace with yourself
