bruce hadn’t been having a great day he’d been late to a Wayne enterprises meeting burnt ,his tongue on his coffee ,had to stay out on patrol way longer than usual wrapping stuff up and got some pretty painful injuries

to say he was ready to go home and curl up in his nest was an understatement he was wrapping up his patrol when it happened he blinked and there the pup was dead on the floor he tried bringing them back it didn’t work…

so here he was heavily breathing walking into the batcave oh god they were so young and smelled so scared he needed his pups all of them he needed them in the nest they’d be safe there

he forced his breathing to calm and began gathering his pups Jason and dick we’re in the batcave ,duke and Cass were sparring ,damian was training and Tim was in his room
