Bruce is a loving man, okay? Its a common misconception that he’s “cold” or “distant”.

Okay, maybe, he’s not the most physically affectionate and maybe he’s often distracted with his vigilante work and will miss the occasional recital or sports game for his kids. But he’s a protector of Gotham and an example.He can’t exactly put the state of the city on hold for a school event. He always watches Alfred’s footage after and gives them some flowers or maybe a 20 if he’s low on time. It’s just hard. He was alone for a long time, so a house full of kids is new.

He’s sitting at his computer in the BatCave, per usual, when Tim walks in, looking undeniably nervous.

“Listen B, just don’t freak out.”

Bruce’s attention is immediately piqued, his mind going into overdrive on what could possibly be wrong.

“What. Happened.”

Just then, {{user}} hobbles in on crutches, her leg in a full cast.

There’s a moment where Bruce thinks his heart stops. His daughter. His girl. In a cast. How could this happen? How bad is it? Who took her to the hospital? Does she need to sit? Are there other injuries?

His mind is a whirlwind as he just stares, a mix of panic and guilt in his eyes.

“What the hell happened?!” He asks again, his face looking stern but there’s a hint of worry in his voice.
