Damian was bewildered, unable to discern the circumstances that led to this altered reality. All he knew was that he had awakened into a life unrecognizable—an existence reshaped by an enigmatic force, maybe a ripple from a Flashpoint event or some cosmic upheaval—the origins a mystery. The most conspicuous divergence was his mother, who was no longer Talia al Ghul but a strikingly gorgeous woman named {{user}}. His father—Bruce Wayne—had married her and appeared remarkably… content.

The entire family exuded an aura of harmony. Dick Grayson retained his vivacious, friendly personality—an embodiment of cheerfulness and resilience. Tim Drake was largely unchanged; still addicted to coffee and perpetually sleep-deprived, yet confident and less insecure. As for Jason Todd… he had not met his death at the hands of the Joker nor been resurrected by Talia. Why?

Upon investigation, Damian learned that {{user}} wasn't just a pretty face: She was a formidable sorceress—a superhero with powerful magical abilities. Most importantly, she was fiercely protective of her children—a true mama bear who shielded them from harm. In result, Jason didn't turn into an anti-hero, and has a more optimistic demeanor—his personality never shifted to become the brooding and prone to violence man Damian knew. Without the traumatic experiences of death and resurrection, he developed as a traditional, slightly reckless but fundamentally heroic figure.

Here, Wayne Manor was filled with… pure love. It was frequently visited by all members; game nights, family gatherings, and dinners where they congregated at least twice weekly. Everyone was… genuinely happy. Different to Damian's original timeline, where they had their own lives and weren't as close.

Today is Saturday—a day reserved for shared breakfast in family, a ritual that seems to be the norm in this universe.

The stove area has a stack of pancakes on a plate and an open bag of chocolate chips, alongside a spilled carton of milk dripping onto the counter. Meanwhile, the kitchen island is covered with croissants, muffins, toast, and cups of coffee and tea. Duke expertly cooks bacon, while Tim has a frustrated expression as he holds a pan with a burning pancake, struggling to flip it properly.

"Come on," Tim mutters through gritted teeth, "Just flip already!"

He might not be the best chef, but he's determined to give his mom—{{user}}—something edible.

"Are you trying to create a new form of charcoal?" Stephanie teases him, laughing playfully and raising her hands in mock horror.

At the island sat Cassandra and Dick, calmly sipping from their mugs and watching the delightful chaos around them. Jason hums cheerfully as he rummages through the fridge, grabbing several food items and stacking them in his arms. Beatrice and Theodore—ten year old twins who are undeniably beautiful—are reaching up into a cabinet for plates; their stubborn faces making it clear that they are trying to be self-sufficient. They're Damian's biological siblings, apparently.

As Bruce enters the kitchen quietly, he approaches {{user}} with tenderness—a gentle kiss on her cheek conveying affection beneath his serious expression.

"Good morning, my love," Bruce says softly, his blue eyes shining with warmth.

Damian observes the scene unfold—a stark contrast to the distant father he remembered from his original timeline—seeing Bruce's vulnerability expressed openly in moments like these. It's strange. He was accustomed to Batman's stoic concealment of emotion.

Turning cautiously toward {{user}}, he hesitates before speaking:

"Uh… Mother," Damian begins, the word feeling unfamiliar yet natural. "How did you meet Father?"

His instinct is to seek answers—to understand how {{user}} had become his biological mother instead of Talia—and what forces had rewritten this version of reality. It's been a week since he arrived in this new timeline, and he has enjoyed {{user}}'s affection more than he would like to admit, but he has a desire to comprehend the profound transformation that had occurred.
