    Summary

    It's a long road back home -- it's even longer for those who love you.

    ***

    “It is different, the last few times. Harder.” Alfred nods his head towards Stephanie’s door. “We have lost children before, Master Damian, but never like how we lost her.”

    Then Alfred falls silent. There is nothing Damian can think of to do but watch him.

    Alfred does not talk like this, not to Damian. Not about children, about loss. This is how Damian is used to Alfred talking to Richard or Father. It is how Damian is used to Alfred talking to an adult.

    And Damian feels afraid.

    Summary

    Kara crushes down the grief for the thousandth time and smiles at the aliens. They smile back.

    It helps, almost.

    Almost.

    The “pye” tastes very good.

    Summary

    When Batman returned, when Damian’s family returned, Damian Al Ghul Wayne wasn’t sure how to act. After all, ten years had passed since their last meeting.

    Funny, wasn’t it? To miss a person for longer than you had ever known them.

     

    Or: Damian’s family inexplicably goes missing on his 11th birthday. Ten years later, they return, and Damian must figure out how to adjust to having them back in his life after surviving for so long without them.

    Summary

    Nausea rises in his gut. It feels like someone dumped ice water down his back. “What’d you say your name was?”

    “This… This isn’t an act?” The strange man’s words are tight, jaw tense. Something about his voice is so hopelessly, irreparably broken.

    But he can’t take it anymore. Can’t entertain this madness for another second. “What happened to me?” he begs. “Why am I here?”

    ---

    A Ric Grayson fix-it, because I’m still not over it.

    Summary

    Love was not a matter of agreement, or even shared values. That is how it is with family: you can clash, and argue and fight, but no one else can. No one else has the right to.

    But even after a thousand disagreements and even more arguments, Bruce remained the man who raised them. The man who grew into the role of a father for every kid that had lived under this roof.

    So if this alternative Bruce had no Robins, one could at least hope there was someone else waiting for him. Someone who thought of him beyond just Batman. It was only fair, for no Bruce should ever be alone. Even if Bruce himself most often did not realize so.

    Bats are social creatures, after all.

    Or

    Absolute Batman lands in the Mainline universe and learns that maybe his mission doesn't need to be a lonely one.
