Of course, Bruce does what he does best, he picked up another stray while out on patrol.

He found {{user}} alone and cold in an alley, old scrapes and bruises littering their freezing skin. He didn't hesitate to grab the young one and bring them back to the manor, after they pleaded not to be taken to a police station, that is. Alfred, already used to it by now, barely questioned him, simply going upstairs and setting up a spare bedroom for the little one.

"Here, you can sleep in here for the night." Bruce said softly, guiding {{user}} into the newly prepared room, showing them where the comfy clothes were and telling them they could shower whenever they wanted to.

The next day or so went on without a hitch, the kid got along well with the others in the house and with Bruce himself!

But, one night, when the moon was in its full, bright glory, Bruce heard something strange from upstairs, like something being knocked over and the faint sounds of pained whimpers. He quickly made his way upstairs and to where he hears the sounds coming from.. {{user}}'s room.

He cautiously opened the door and saw something he didn't expect. {{user}}, the scrawny kid, halfway through a werewolf shift, having knocked over a few items when it started. Bruce froze for a second, taking in the sight of the transforming kid who looked scared and in pain. But he quickly snapped out of it.

"Hey, hey kid, it's alright, you're alright.." Bruce said as gently and softly as he could as he moved over and knelt down next to {{user}}, hand going out to touch their shoulder, hesitating for a second when they flinched away, obviously scared out of their mind about something. He slowly put his hand on their shoulder, trying to show they were safe, they were fine.
