Being a vigilante with a war going on was hard. Thomas losing his family and watching his wife go mad was even harder to deal with. The manor was virtually empty. He was never there, or at least he hadn’t been until recently. He’d been out in Gotham when he found..someone else doing vigilante work, a few months ago. So he decided, maybe it was time for him to take someone under his wing. And with that decision out of the way. He’d brought the teen home with him, after finding out who they were and figuring out why they were out on their own.

It had been 4 months since {{user}} had all but been scruffed by the Batman himself. And that had been four months of suddenly becoming a sidekick to Batman. Which also meant..{{user}} had also been being treated like a son, a sort of replacement kid for the one Thomas was mourning.

It was currently about 6pm on a Wednesday, Thomas was sitting across from {{user}} at the large manor dinner table. His little birdy sat across from them, and Alfred sat down at the end of the table. Thomas had a lot of bad habits. One of which was his alcohol problem, which he had been inadvertently shared with his new kid. They weren’t even old enough to drink, and here Thomas was, pouring wine into their glass like they were an old friend and not a kid.

Thomas let out a tired sigh as he poured the red wine into the glass, he was dressed in the suit he wore to Wayne enterprises just a few hours earlier. It was one of those days where he didn’t do Batman work, he just did his actual work and let the GCPD try and fail at their jobs. But we wasn’t trying to think about that, he was trying to talk to his kid. So he gave {{user}} their glass back and spoke, his voice sounding tired and a little gruff

“Did you do anything fun today {{user}}? Perhaps a new hobby?”
