I am not fighting in this arena anymore.

I've somehow gotten trapped along with Superman in a battle with other versions of myself. I had just beaten of all things a vampire me.

But after facing this, I was sick of it. How Is this supposed to be me?

A talking Duck man with no pants. I don't even want to know what his world is like . Even though with the hat I thought he might be the Question. The wearing no pants as well since there was that one time Question actually showed up for a meeting in boxers, he said he just forgot.

After this I threw the fight. Besides I'm not sure what the "Monarch" or should I say Captain Atom, Really wants but I do know I don't want to be a part of it. I have too much to do in Gotham.

When i threw the fight I was sent back to my Universe, and Superman followed me.

" I really hope you threw your fight as well Clark, because I'm not sure how You'll live down being beaten by a super bunny."

He laughs. " I guess the same way you can live down being beaten by extremely clumsy Bat-Duck. So what do you think that was about? "

" I don't know but I'm certain we haven't heard the last of it. "

Bat turkey day

I'm so glad Thanksgiving is here. So after today I can get everyone out of the house. Though my biological son seems to be more behaved than usual. That and he physically cringes when Cassandra walks into the room. Not sure I want to know.


Then Nightwing decided to be childish and invite everyone I've worked with over the years. Including Huntress, Azreal ( Thank you for ruining my reputation Jean Paul.) And worst of all Talia Al Ghul. As in my ex. Who decided it was a good idea to drug me have me impregnate her and something to do with with clone tanks to create Damien.

And of course for added joy I invited Diana. My current... well I'm not exactly where we are there, and my ex together in the same room glaring at each other. While Damien tries to get Talia to sit by me.

Worse is Jason. How do I describe all the things that have been happening with him? First he punched out Jean Paul for some reason I can't even guess. All week he's been annoying both Dick And Tim. Mostly Dick. Though he claims he didn't hit Oracle purpose on that one day Richard is convinced he did. It went down hill ever since.


Also after we discovered That Kon-El or Superboy built a Cassandra love bot for a ghost of all things. Jason threatened to put a kryptonite bullet into his brain. And That would make Clark have a crying fit. ( Though sometimes random things makes that happen.) No one wants to deal with a sobbing Superman. Finally Vincent's sister has decided she has a crush on him and pops up every once in a while. To stare at Jason and annoy him. At least I hope she's annoying him.


The girl is maybe sixteen or seventeen it's hard to tell with saiyans. Jason's eighteen. Besides the age difference I don't want another one of my protege's getting involved with a Vegeta kid. I know she's a Green Lantern but so is Guy Gardner this Guy Gardner.

So this has been one horrible meal Jason fighting With Nightwing, Then getting surprise kissed by the young saiyan girl. Meanwhile Robin was hiding under the table to avoid Stephanie Brown.

Then all of the sudden jumps out and accuses her of dating Superboy. Then she yells at him for dating Wonder Girl. I wouldn't put it past Kon-El though Clark I would would trust with my life, Conner is a weapon created to destroy. That and he is half Lex Luthor.

Stephanie just says. That the whole time Conner was trying to convince her That Tim Wasn't dating Ravager, Not sure if I believe that or not. And meanwhile Vincent ate the alien bird that was sent by Vampirella himself. Well after he gave some of it to Cassandra.

Huntress was throwing rolls at Azreal. And Gwen Spoiler's daughter pored cranberry sauce onto Damien's head. Then Richard runs by with the good china yelling "We're eating off these!" Alfred walks in and sees the mess and almost has a fit. Next year I think I'll eat alone at a restaurant.

Batgirl: Little brothers.

I was um having fun with uh.. Sparring with Vincent. then.. Damien .. had to come out that um .. teleporter .. in my cave.

" Eugenics Experiment ! Everyone else is at home for this.. Thanksgiving. Father Already summoned you where have you been?"


I don't know what a "ujenics" is, But I don't .. like the um aggressive way he .. is talking to me. Does Bruce know your here?" I ask.

" No! But he shall be glad I came Now come along property!"

" Property?" I look at him funny while Vincent looks like he's about to attack .. I
put up my hand in a "no" .. Um gesture.

" Yes that is what you are Cain. Damien .. Smiles. " if it wasn't for my grandfather paying David to create you, You would not be born. You are the property of the AL Ghuls."

At first I want .. to um really hurt him. But I do what.. Dick Tim and Bruce, have taught me to do .. with annoyances .. I throw a Batarang and bonk him in the head when .. he um turns around.

When he starts to get.. back up .. up I grab his arm ,and um twist it. Vincent Smirks. " What was that about her being property little boy? "

" Aah! Let go you.." Damien shouts.

" I would be careful of the next words if I were you kid. Cass looks to be in a bad mood."

" I tried.. to be nice to you.. little brother. I didn't call you all those names.. though.. you've been mean tome .. Now I've had enough! You first I want you to um apoligise."

" Never!" I twist his arm harder. " Okay! Fine Just let go!"

" You will call.. me my name.. not 'property'."

" Let me go Cassandra!" he cries.

" And you.. will say sorry.. to our.. brothers Tim , and Richard for saying .. that.. you are Batman's only .. Child!"

" I will! I will! "

" And who am I?"

" Let me go Sister!"

I let him go. " Now .. you will be good.. until you have to leave? "


" Yes. " He sobs.

Vincent. Laughs. " Ha! You got off easy there kid you should see her when she's really mad. "

He just stares at me scared... Looks like he'll behave now.

A visit with Jon the IG.

Jon The Intergalactic Gladiator somehow found his way into my Batcave. He wanted to use the Batcomputer to find out about his spiritual journey he has been having with dreams. Seems past presidents are giving him their powers. As long as Tony Stark doesn't win I'm fine with Jon being some kind of chosen one.

It was going fine until his sidekick Hudson came out like this.

He was Wearing Jason's costume from his memorial case.

" Hudson!" I growl.

“What? I just saw the thing sitting in the glass tube over there,” he said innocently. “I figured since no one else was wearing it, I could try it on. I don’t see how Robin can run around in this thing, boy are these tights uncomfortable.”

" Hudson! Take that off now!" I clench my fists. Then before I can do anything Jason enters like Nightwing, and Damien who have already gotten here early in time Thanksgiving.



" Who's this @$$#%? And what's he doing in my costume?"


Jason goes for Hudson's throat I grab him and make him settle down. Good thing since Jon was about to use his Wristcomm. " Red Hood ! I'll handle this."

" Do you have anything to drink?" Jason sneers at Hudson.

" Your only eighteen and no. Now go up stairs. I turn my gaze to Hudson. " Now you change out of that uniform!"

There's an uncomfortable silence as Jon looks uncomfortable finally he starts staring at the Batpoles.

" Bet you haven't seen anything like those huh?" I say trying to break the silence.

" Um so Apache Chief huh? " Jon abruptly changes the subject." In case I want to find him.. where would he be?"

I gave him Chief's last known location. Then Hudson comes out in another costume from a memorial.

" Oh my word!" Alfred yells at this.. display.

Robin drives his bike in and stares.

Hudson. Laughs. " Man this costume is much better it has pants. but what's with the kilt and blonde wig?"

" I'll kill you!" Robin declares, before I stop him as well. "

I glare over at Hudson and Jon. " Get out! NOW!"

" No problem." They leave as quickly as possible, leaving behind the costume.

Robin Puts Stephanie's costume back into it's memorial and stares at it.

Damien breaks the silence. " Foolish impostor. The girl is alive. Instead of sobbing over her dirty laundry why don't you call her?"

" Impostor?" Tim's murderous look returns.

Damien Smiles. " Yes I am the only true child of Batman. All the rest of you the circus boy, the zombie and the eugenics experiment by my grandfather are pretenders."

" Their names are Dick and Cassandra you Satanic little brat!" I notice he left out Jason though Tim and Jason haven't really gotten along. Looks as if they are about to fight...



Until I step in. " Tim! Damien! you will not fight in my cave or my home! Do i make myself clear? "

" Sure Bruce." Robin mumbles.

" Yes Father. " Damien bows.

And still one more of my children has yet to make her appearance. Perhaps this was a bad idea.

Thanksgiving planning.

It seems that the Arkham breakout was just a ploy by Nightwing to get us all to go Trick or Treating. He kept talking about how we need to be more of a family, That and he's engaged to Barbra Gordon, again.

At least it isn't the Alien. Anyway. I have been thinking about the family since that night. There was too many members not there. Cassandra, Jason, and Damien weren't there. ( What was Talia thinking with that name?)

So I decided to Invite them to Thanksgiving Well Cassandra was going to get one anyway. Possibly Stephanie and Gwen will get one as well. Jason was shocked by the invite when I called him but he accepted.

I Dialed up Cassandra in her cave from the Bat Computer and asked her.


" Only... if Vincent can come."

" Cassandra. You know I don't like that boy."

" He goes.. Or I don't."

Damn. I miss the days when she didn't talk and took orders. Where did she pick up this rebellious attitude? " Fine Cassandra. "


Alfred serves me some tea and a sandwich. " Master Bruce, perhaps it would be a good idea to try and get along with the young Mistress' suitor. If for nothing else to help control Jason, and Damien."

" You don't believe me Tim And Dick are up to it?"

"No Sir. But A super powered alien is a good deterrent. "

I roll my eyes. " I still don't like him, But he's coming any way So don't try to sale him to me. "


" Will Diana Prince be making an appearance?"

" I have no idea. " I answer.

I'm interrupted by a call from Green Arrow. " Bats! Some kid Beat up my son! "

" Was it Vincent Again?" I sigh.

" No and this is why I'm talking to you. It was someone named Cain.Bruce Cain. One of your buddy David's kids. And I wanna know if you your gonna help me take that Bastard down?"


" Let me get some information on this Bruce Cain, and I'll tell you then. Going in hot headed will not help you."

" Hmph. Whatever Bats!"

I look up files on this "Bruce Cain. " I find it odd that David would give one of his children that name. He did train me when I was younger, but we were never close. In fact after i found out the abuse he put Cassandra through I put him in to the hospital.

Then I see a picture that was taken of Bruce.


"Oh God." I think to my self. I don't want to believe my first impression.
this man is obviously a saiyan. And the strange hair color only comes from Bulma's Children.

" Computer. Analyse face of subject Bruce Cain To faces of Cassandra Cain and Vincent Briefs. Give probability of him being related to the two ."

The results come back 95% probability of relation to both.

" Alfred looks as if you may need to set another place at the table for my "grand son". "

" I see ." Alfred remarks. " Well Master Thomas did have a fondness for wearing strange wigs as well. I suppose it's genetic. "


I did not want to know that about dad.
