Summary
something something bruce offhandedly mentions being autistic and it's like a record scratches as his kids turn to him with expressions varying from "how the fuck did i not know" to "why the fuck did you not tell me." there's the beginnings of an argument because, well, it would've made communication a lot EASIER if they knew.
Excerpt:
"They called you autistic to your- Bruce, did no one do anything??" Dick asked. He was very aware of the kind of bullying a newly-orphaned kid might receive, but it had never been anything like that."It was the 80s, they used the more outdated term. And they were right, so what was there to report?" Bruce shrugged.

Summary
Bruce doesn't know when it started. He can trace his control issues back to his first lucid night after the day his life fell apart, but the food thing? It happened so gradually he can barely build a timeline.
He vaguely recalls learning about calories in his health class. An assignment to calculate how much they burn in a day. A journal to track their meals for a week. But that was just another assignment of many where he watched the deadline go by without lifting a finger.
He does remember the first time he connected the calories listed on nutrition labels to his daily expenditure. Moreso, he remembers feeling the click in his head at keeping the numbers even. Calories in, calories out.
Balanced.
Controlled.

Summary
The first few months following their death, Bruce was an empty thing. He couldn't speak, eat, couldn't look people in the eyes. How could he? He killed them, he killed his parents.
The shock of that night evaporated, leaving behind self-hatred and disgust. Bruce didn't understand how people could still stand to look at him. How could they crouch down to his height and offer their condolences to their killer? Could they not see how grotesque he was? A monster in human skin? Were they so fooled by his baby-fat cheeks, the childish whine of a voice not yet dropped in puberty? Why weren't they punishing him? Where was the justice??
...okay. Fine. If they weren't going to get justice for his parents, then he would.

Summary
Bruce's hands were shaking as he gripped the steering wheel, shifting in his seat. He's trying to get his breathing under control but it's a struggle with the drugs still in his system. It's been two days. Two. But he can barely remember anything, and that simple fact fuels so many different emotions.
OR: Bruce is assaulted, but that gets miscommunicated. Everyone is having a horrible time, but there is hope.

Summary
Tim’s hand grips tighter on the coffee, more determined to keep his hold on that than his phone or keys, and thank god, he doesn’t drop the drink. But the rest of it slips through his fingers, and the guy he just slammed into has some seriously great reflexes, because he manages to snatch them both out of the air before they can hit the ground.
“Oh, god, sorry—” Tim starts to say as the guy straightens up, and then he stops. A set of amused green eyes look down at him over a wide grin.
You’ve got to be kidding, Tim thinks.
“Got somewhere to be, sweetheart? Oh, now that’s a pretty shade of red you’re turning—”
“I’m late,” Tim snaps, snatching his keys and phone out of Jason’s hand. “I got lost four fucking times on my way here. If this city was a person, I would throttle it.”

Or: Gotham is alive, and it won't stop pushing Jason and Tim together.

Summary
For the past six months, it's been good. It's been great. It's been fucking amazing, actually, even with dealing with the press, even with hiding his night job, because he'd trade close to anything for the date nights at fancy restaurants and the cuddling (cuddling! actually cuddling!) during movie nights and sometimes, when it's early, just before Bruce leaves, and they're curled together in the darkness, and Bruce just talks, Clark just listens, and it feels like maybe the jagged piece of cracked stone in his chest that Bruce calls a heart might actually be worth something, for once. And oh yeah, the sex is incredible, but watching Clark interact with his kids, even with how infrequently it happens by necessity? That's better than anything that could happen in bed.
And now— But now— There's Clark. Gorgeous, intelligent, caring, loving and lovely Clark Kent standing in the center of the room, face hopeful, glasses held in his hands as he shares his biggest secret with Bruce.
Bruce freezes.

Clark tells Bruce he's Superman.

Summary
Omegas were generaly smaller and weaker than their alpha and beta counterparts. A pup-heat, more often than not, meant coaxing – calls, trills, gently herding their grown pups towards the nest, as they would be too heavy to heavy to carry when scruffed.
Bruce, as always, was an exception.
---
Or, Tim gets sick just before Bruce's heat, triggering a pup-heat instead.
Bruce is dead set on having all pups in the nest and within his eyesight as soon as possible with little concern for where they are or what they are doing.
Chaos ensues.
Let the hunt begin!
