    Summary

    At age 8, Dick Grayson lost his parents and was whisked away to catacombs unknown.

    At age 12, Jason Todd successfully out-maneuvered the Batman but was found by something far more sinister.

    At age 5, Tim Drake disappeared without a trace. No one went looking for him.

    Years later, Batman is dealing with a new, silent threat in Gotham. This group strikes hard and fast, and conquers a disturbingly large chunk of territory. Despite their two years of existence, Batman still knows nothing about them. No one escapes Batman for this long unless they're good...too good.

    So, when Batman finally gets his answers, only to find that this terrifying group of individuals is barely more than a teenage coffee-addict and his two actually scary older brothers, what is a vigilante with adoption issues to do?

    OR:

    Batman finds three former assassins/members of the Court of Owls and wonders how long it would take him to adopt legally dead birds.

    Summary

    Dick’s blood froze as he stared at the advancing man in numb horror. The panic from before curdled into something colder—dread. Terror. His throat clamped shut like a vice, air catching halfway up his windpipe. His muscles locked so tight it felt like invisible hands were squeezing the life out of him—the truth settling over him like a cold, suffocating weight.

    This man wasn’t Zucco. The Captain wasn’t here, and Dick had woken up in an unfamiliar bed.

    Bile rose in his throat.

    There was only one explanation.

    He had been sold.

    And the man in front of him... was his new owner:

    The Batman.

    (in other words, Bruce is an emotionally constipated pirate who finds a small, terrified mer and thinks yeah, i should adopt him.)

    Summary

    With a gurgled scream he's tossed back into the ocean. The waters rush to embrace their stolen child, but now, instead of their enclosure being a comfort, it's suffocating.

    He thrashes, desperate, trying to swim but... but he can't.

    Panic and fear washes over him as he slowly starts to sink to the bottom of the ocean floor, a trail of blood flowing from the spots his fins were supposed to be.

    He's a shark mer. He needs his fins to swim, but... but they're gone. Taken. Stolen. Sawed away by those monsters. His fins... are gone.

    Dick lets out a terrified shrill as he sinks down, down, down.... drowning.

    For years he's been told to stay clear of the monsters above the ocean. Been told how there were humans that wouldn't hesitate to tear his fins off his body. But never in his life had he expected for it to actually happen to him. Now Dick's drowning, unable to move, defenseless, and... No.

    No, no, no, no—

    There's a something big swimming right toward him.

    (OR Bruce Wayne finds a dying, de-finned shark mer and he does what anyone sensible would do: he takes him in and looks after him, all the while wondering if 26 is a bit too young to adopt.)
