[Western Crossover] I'm the Only Ordinary Person in the Bat-Family

#Batman's Journey to Becoming a Dad from Scratch (deep inhale.jpg)

Vivian Wayne lives in an ordinary family of wealthy people.

He has a silly, sweet dad who loves extreme sports;

A diligent British butler who holds the real power in the Wayne family;

Three annoying older brothers and one annoying younger brother: Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian.

But that's just what the family looks like on the surface. In reality...

His father, who plays the part of a silly, sweet playboy, is the Dark Knight who protects Gotham.

Dick, a cop in Bludhaven, is Nightwing and the first Robin.

Jason, who ran away from home and fell in with the wrong crowd, is the Red Hood and the second Robin.

Tim, the diligent young master of the Wayne family, is Red Robin and the third Robin.

Damian, his hot-tempered little brother and the demon spawn, is the current Robin.

Vivian: ?

So I'm the only ordinary person in this family, huh? How am I supposed to live like this?

Even their butler was a formidable agent when he was young.

Well, in that case, fine. I'm done pretending. I'm not ordinary either.

Record of achievements: Beat the Batman Who Laughs and became the "Emperor of Gotham."

To the superheroes of the Justice League and the Avengers, Gotham's Dark Knight is a hero worthy of admiration.

His soul, which still shines despite enduring countless hardships, and his character, which holds fast to its principles even while stationed in the darkness, command the superheroes' respect and earn the trust of the Batfamily's little birds.

Any one of them could list a hundred things to criticize about him, but there is no denying that the Dark Knight is an unwavering symbol.

No one ever thought the Dark Knight would truly fall into darkness, until the superheroes began repeatedly dreaming of a certain Batman who loved to laugh killing them.

Justice League & Avengers: We must be seeing things. We dreamed Batman was killing people!

Batfamily: What kind of out-of-character dream is this? Batman turned into the Joker?!

But as the dreams continue, everyone gradually realizes that these things really happened.

Following the clues in their dreams, they remember the past they had forgotten.

Previous work: [Western Crossover] The Batfamily's One and Only Official Ordinary Person

You don't need to have read the previous work. This is a parallel-world story, in a world without Qubi, and the plot develops completely differently.

Vivian's personality has changed. He's more lively than in the previous work (meaning he gives his dad a hard time).

Slow burn, following Vivian from childhood through his teens and adolescence to adulthood. The romance begins when he's an adult.

A beloved-by-everyone story, with an overall light and healing tone (probably?).

A very eclectic crossover featuring Japanese animation, TV shows, and movies, but focused mainly on DC (with the Batfamily at its core) and Marvel.

Pairing: Tony.

Currently serializing: [Western Crossover] The Player Becomes a Savior Through Save-Scumming, an Injustice Superman IF story featuring Vivian

Blurb: Injustice: Gods Among Us is a game, and Kronos is a player.

Players can achieve the perfect ending by loading saves.

Now he's entered the game

The first NPC he encounters: Earth's Supreme Leader.

Faction: Justice League/Regime.

Identity: The Supreme Leader's old friend from years ago.

Mission: Build a beautiful new world.

Kronos: Woohoo, I've never had such a wonderful opening! This is a guaranteed win!

Some time later

Damn! This guy is completely unhinged. If I don't save the day by taking the long way around, I'm guaranteed to lose!

So Kronos begins trying to salvage the broken plotline.

Wonder Woman's lover gets blown up? Load save!

The Captain's best friend falls off a cliff? Load save!

Iron Man loses his conscience? Load save!

Spider-Man's girlfriend falls to her death? Load save!

Kronos keeps loading saves and rescuing people along the way, bringing back every hero whose story had gone off the rails.

Now he's turning his attention to this world's most thoroughly corrupted Supreme Leader.

*

The Injustice Regime's Supreme Leader firmly believes he's building a wonderful human society, and his League teammates believe it too.

So even with the Insurgency fighting against him, the Supreme Leader has always believed victory will ultimately be his.

Until one day, the Supreme Leader suddenly realizes that everyone is standing against him.

The Blue Boy Scout: "I can fight you all day."

Ironheart: "Specialized Kryptonite armor activated."

Princess of Themyscira: "I'm sorry, Kal. I think we were all wrong."

The Justice League's conscience: "Supes, stop."

God of Thunder: "Let's see who the real god is."

The Supreme Leader: "...?"

The Dark Knight: "You need to stop and face reality."

But the Supreme Leader is still stubbornly determined to enforce the absolute justice he believes in, so the player takes action.

Going back to where it all began, the player catches a poor man about to fall into a chemical vat.

[Perfect ending achieved. Savior achievement unlocked.]

The player's game is over. The player is about to quit this game forever.

He closes his eyes and opens them again. When Kronos wakes, the most reliable teammate in the game, the Dark Knight, is before him.

The Dark Knight says to him, "Welcome home, my child."

Upcoming: [Western Crossover] Batkid, but a Cultivation Grandmaster

Blurb: Bruce Wayne has acquired another son. The Wayne children are used to it by now.

But this son is a little different.

First, he doesn't have black hair and blue eyes.

Second, he grew up in the East and only speaks Chinese, though he knows English.

Third, he's blind, so he has developed a line of work as a blind fortune-teller. He's not sure whether to add blind massage to his services later.

Also, even though he was the one who came looking for Bruce, he doesn't care much about their father-son relationship. If Bruce fails the evaluation after six months, he'll dump him as a father.

Finally, he's not an ordinary person. He also knows that no one in the Wayne family is ordinary, but no one in the Wayne family knows he isn't ordinary. So when he slices off half of Arkham with a single sword strike, his family is shocked.

Little scene:

Fuguang says slowly, "My master saved me when I was an infant, then took me in as his disciple and carefully taught me. Eighteen years have passed since then. My master said that I still have unfinished karmic ties to my family in this world, and to keep them from hindering my cultivation in the future, he sent me here to settle them."

Jason: "So you're planning to dump Bruce?"

Fuguang: "...The evaluation period isn't over yet."

Jason: "Tell me when you do. I want to see the old man's face."

Fuguang: "..."

Clark carefully interjects, "Bat's actually pretty great..."

Jason: "Your love for everyone isn't satisfied by saving cats and dogs anymore, so now you're mediating family affairs? Someone else's family, too?"

Fuguang: "Did I never mention that he's my Daoist partner?"

Jason: "?"

Bruce: "?"

Fuguang: "Oh, I guess I didn't."

Clark: "...We're doomed!"

Theme: Growing up is a long journey.
