Summary
Jason is brought to the League of Assassins after his death. While there, he ends up assigned as the demon prince's hellhound between rigorous trainings to destroy Batman. The small one ends up taking priority.
Damian is the heir to the al Ghul name, and heir to his father's title (once he figures out who that is). His life has been nothing but preparation. Until he gains a big brother, and begins to learn there is life outside of violence.
Bruce didn't know his second son was alive, let alone that he had a biological child. And now? He has to pick up the pieces of his failures.

Summary
Duke sputtered as Bruce's massive gauntlet-clad fingers fumbled clumsily at the edges of his helmet. "B—Batman, I swear if you break my mask—"
Bruce ignored him, growling low in frustration when he couldn't find the release mechanism (because Duke had learned from Jason’s horror stories and installed a biometric lock).
Steph landed nearby. "Oh my god, I think he’s trying to check your temperature like a sick kid. B, we have literal thermometers in the suits."
Dick swung down next to them. "Nah nah nah, this is classic Batdad behavior—first comes the baby-carrying, then comes the 'must inspect child for ouchies' phase." He leaned in toward Duke. "He did this to me once after Fear Gas. Held me up by the armpits to check for head wounds."
Bruce finally gave up on removing Duke’s helmet, only to press their foreheads together with an audible thunk. "...No fever?"
Yeah. He was definitely a little inebriated on the gas.
Duke went completely still. "...Did you just headbutt me?"
"Safe?"
Duke was starting to realize why everyone called Bruce "Caveman B" when drugged. (Damnit, Crane.)

Summary
Duke Thomas had been with the family for six months. Officially, at least. Had known them for at least a year before that. Age sixteen, now, he had reluctantly allowed them to place him under their custody after being on his own for a while. It was comfortable enough. He'd been content to be fostered, even though the offer of adoption remained extended.
He was given independence. Independence that he craved. It had been his most important condition upon joining: that he be a Bat, but not a Robin. Gotham's solo daytime vigilante.
It was just...professional boundaries, Duke told himself. Bruce was Batman, and Batman was like, his mentor-supervisor-vigilante landlord. Or something. Not his dad. He had a dad. And not really a paternal figure, either, like how Steph and Babs viewed him.
He liked the guy. Just...didn't need a dad. He was fine. Chilling.
(Until he wasn't).
