Was Reading A PJO/DC Crossover Fic And It Inspired This Cliche Batfam Idea

Was reading a PJO/DC crossover fic and it inspired this cliche Batfam idea

Basically the mist is failing due to the increase of alien and supervillain attacks and people basically being unable to ignore the strange occurrences around them, both Greek and Roman camps made the decision to come out to the world.

Justice League have a meeting, with some League members being secret demigods or Legacies and trying to establish boundaries, which gets heated because Batman doesn’t know a healthy boundary even if it hits him in the cowl because these are children dying Diana, which results in a demigod League member going, “—and what do you know about training demigods Batman?”

Literally in that same second they get a call patched through by Oracle, saying something is happening in the Cave. Batman connects the call to video chat and in full prominent display all of Batman associates (re: children) have glowing symbols above their heads. With the knowledge of Greek symbols for their pantheon Bruce simply turns around to the shocked faces of those around him, eyebrow raised, and (internally smugly) goes, “Seems I know enough.”

okay, so this is 100% based off of a line from one of the DCAMU films. I don't quite remember which one- possibly Batman: Bad Blood or Son of Batman, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, so Dick has a line in that film about "if you take the cut, you can take the stitch" and at least one other person says it to him at some point in the film, annoying him. Or something like that; again my memory is foggy. THE POINT IS, I have now applied that to Annabeth because of course I did.

Annabeth remembers everything or almost everything she hears in canon. Apply that to this situation: she 100% either overheard Bruce telling Dick or Jason: "if you take the cut, you can take the stitch". OR Dick or Jason said that in a somewhat joking/exaggerated manner to comfort her over a minor injury by convincing her to act "like Robin".

Dick and Jason would be Annabeth's model for "big siblings" before Luke and Thalia, Dick especially given his age. Consciously or not, when she became the "big sister" of the Athena cabin, there were things she modeled after Dick, as well as Jason, Thalia, and Luke.

So imagine before they know Annabeth is alive and a demigod, somehow one of the younger bats meets one of the younger Athena kids in one of the many infinitely weird situations the DC verse finds themselves in. Malcolm maybe, maybe someone else.

The younger bat is in civilian clothes and trapped with the Athena kid, who is attempting to give them first aid. The bat has to endure it because they're trying not to give the civilian persona away, and they have no idea the Athena kid also is trying very, very hard to pretend to be a civilian. Until-

"if you take the cut, you can take the stitch"

says this grey-eyed stranger, half-joking, with the EXACT same inflection and tone as Dick Grayson.

"What did you say???" the bat-kid demands, half-convinced they're hallucinating.

The Athena kid smiles.

"Something stupid my big sister always says. Gods, it drives us crazy."

SOMEONE MAKE ALFRED PENNYWORTH AS CIEL PHANTOMHIVE TRUE!!!!!

Alfred Pennyworth is Ciel Phantomhive

Black Butler x DC

Me: What if Sebastian was Alfred Pennyworth?

My Brain at the same time: What if Alfred was Ciel?

Me: ...

Also me: You son of a Betch. That's brilliant.

My Brain: :')

This is how I imagine the batfam finding out, just a slither of Alfred's Past.

Sebastian, appears bowing in front of Alfred(Ciel): My Lord, there is an urgent matter that you must attend to.

Alfred(Ciel): Hello Sebastian to what do I owe this displeasure?

Sebastian: There is-

Alfred(Ciel): There is a room filled with cat's and cat toys.

Sebastian: ...

Alfred(Ciel): Would you like to wait there as I prepare some Earl Gary Tea for the both of us?

Sebastian: While the matter is not that important I would like to be escorted to this room.

Alfred(Ciel), smiling because he knows he won this round: Why of course Sebastian.

The batfam in the dining room: ...

Tim: ... Is Alfred a demon lord?

When Dick was Robin, he was given a laminated page titled ‘The Rules of Robin.’

When Jason was Robin, the page had become a 3 page leaflet from Dick’s antics.

When Tim was Robin, the leaflet was a five page booklet.

Stephanie’s time as Robin was short, but she remembers the horror when she saw the 200 page almanac tossed onto the table.

By the time Damian was Robin, Alfred has started to bookbind volume 2.

Or – how Tim somehow manages to both be the most obedient and responsible Robin while also being an unholy gremlin of a sidekick.

Lol. Imagine how confused they were.

gothamites looking at WE’s new ceo and seeing the kid that they would see run around gotham’s streets with a fancy camera years ago after assuming that he fucking died after he just disappeared(became robin and found a new hobby) and being so confused because yeah he definitely wasn’t a street kid but to find out he was a NEPO BABY??

Tim would be drinking energy drinks and coffee, but Alfred had those confiscated.

Bruce: You know you can die from that, right? Jason: *smoking a cigarette* That’s the point. Dick: *drinking alcohol* We’re trying to speed this up. Tim: *Eating raw cookie dough and nodding*
