Wayne, but Utterly Ordinary [Western Crossover]

Lanstodd Wayne was a Wayne who had inherited none of his father's virtues, apart from his good looks.

Compared with the rich kids who threw money around and got into trouble all day, the low-key, lazy Lanstodd was already pretty decent. But in the Wayne family, he was utterly unremarkable.

His father, his brothers, even the butler, and all the family cats and dogs had secret identities by day and night. Lanstodd was the only one who knew everything and still just said, "I support you, I understand, I'm going to lie flat."

Lanstodd loved to sleep. He didn't want to stay up late fighting crime, and he didn't want to work either.

Lanstodd couldn't stand the exhaustion of training. He didn't love Gotham, and he had no desire to help people.

Especially after Jason died, all Lanstodd wanted was to coast through life and enjoy himself. He avoided the family's nightly activities like the plague.

Lanstodd happily finished college and prepared to enjoy the pleasures of the wider world.

Until one day, he saw a countdown to his family's deaths hanging over their heads, invisible to everyone else.

At the same time, Lanstodd began having frequent dreams. He dreamed his dad would kill the Joker.

Batman would become the world-destroying Batman Who Laughs, and his little brother would turn into a feral Robin.

From his lively older brother Dick, to Tim, who could go days without sleep and still keep working, to Alfred the butler, and then the entire city of Gotham: no one would survive!

Even his second brother, who had crawled out of the grave a few years ago, transformed into a tall, handsome hunk with amazing abs and a great body, and had slept with him under an assumed name, would die, come back to life, then die again!

Every night, Lanstodd woke from his dreams and sat bolt upright in bed. "Aaaah! Let go of the Joker, I'll do it!"

Before seeing the countdown, Lanstodd: If I get to live another day, I'll enjoy it. The Joker and Batman have nothing to do with me.

Life philosophy: Enjoy the present.

After seeing the countdown and receiving nightly dreams from the world's consciousness, which was worried the world was doomed, Lanstodd: Fine, I'll work hard, okay?

Life philosophy: Take down the Joker, save the world, then find Jason and have the time of my life.

"But..."

Lanstodd timidly raised his hand. "Have you thought about how I'm supposed to save the world?"

As a bona fide useless second-generation rich kid, Lanstodd couldn't imagine how he was supposed to stop the Joker from destroying the world while keeping Batman under control.

[I can lend you my power,] said the consciousness of Gotham, which had found him. [As for what to do next, we can discuss it with them.]

"Them?"

[Metropolis has joined the chat.]

[New York has joined the chat.]

[Bludhaven has joined the chat...]

Lanstodd slowly typed a question mark.

Lanstodd × Jason

Mutual pining, first love for both

Lanstodd is a lazy, brazen loudmouth who'll bite if pushed too far.
