"You're so beautiful..."
"Even after what Joker did to me?"
"You're still the brightest star in my night sky, Mae."

a/n: any time I read a fic where Bruce is depicted as a terrible father, my skin boils. So, enjoy some good BatDad moments with his two chaotic teenagers.

"You were supposed to be asleep an hour ago."
"And you were supposed to be home for dinner, but you weren't... again."
"I called this time." Bruce sighed, sitting next to me by the pool of the Manor. "Where's Dick?"
"Asleep. We had movie night with Alfred after dinner and made ice cream sandwiches because I never had one before... they're actually really good." I shrugged, dipping my feet in the water.
"Sometimes I forget that not having a childhood means also not having basic childhood pleasures such as ice cream sandwiches."
"Joker said that sugar rots your teeth and ruins your smile. Harley used to try to sneak in some lollipops or whatever they're called, but he beat her before I could try them. Same with pizzas, burgers, and all that... I either had whatever was left over or I had to somehow make it to Ivy or Selina's so they could properly feed me."
"So, the first time you've had actual-"
"Food that's not slowly rotting or stale was when I moved in."
"Oh..." Bruce mumbled standing up and I nodded. "So you've never had an ice cream sundae from Jeanie's?"
"Who?"
"Wake up Dick and meet me in the car in fifteen minutes."
"Which car!? You have like five hundred!" I called out once he ran away.
"Your pick, Maeve! And wear a sweater, it's gonna rain soon!"
"Stop being such a dad!" I laughed and chased after him.
"It's my job!"

"Well if it isn't Gotham's Prince!? Haven't seen you around these parts in years, Bruce."
"Been busy with work, but decided to bring the kids around, Jeanie." Bruce smiled an gestured to the two of us. "This is Dick and Maeve."
"He sounds like he actually birthed us." I whispered to Dick who nodded with a grimace. "That's disgusting."
"What happened to your face, sweetheart?" Jeanie asked and Dick immediately stood in front of me.
"She was kidnapped by Joker when he raided that orphanage three years ago. And you know nothing good happens when Joker's around." Bruce answered, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. "The usual booth available?"
