Bruce Wayne's parents were Coffee critics. They died in a car crash when he was 13 years old. 7 years later, he opens a coffee shop in their memory. What does he call it? Bat's Coffee. Why? Because that was his mother's favorite animal.

And the thing is? He'll never go out of business, as long as Tim Drake is alive.

...

I had to write this. I've been thinking about it all day.

Also, this Coffee order is real and I had to look it up. I literally searched, "Longest coffee shop order" and that's what appeared.

Title from the song, "Marry Me," by Train

Gotham has always been known for it's coffee. Specifically how competitive it's shops were. There were so many of them, and all of them were fighting for the top spot as Gotham's #1 Coffee shop. And right now, Joe Kurr's Coffee was winning. But not for long.

Because Timothy Jackson Drake, recently orphaned, emancipated adult, CEO of Drake Industries, was entering what would soon be his 2nd home, Bat's Coffee. 

"Welcome to Bat's Coffee, what can I get for you today?" Dick asked, smiling at the young boy, no older then 17, standing in front of him, his face hidden by the hood of his sweatshirt. He fought a frown that wanted to appear. A kid this young should not look so exhausted. 

And then he began to rattle off the biggest order Dick had ever heard. And as he went on, the acrobat got more and more concerned, because what the fuck

"A quad long shot grande in a venti cup… half calf double cupped no sleeve… salted caramel mocha latte… with 2 pumps of vanilla, 2 pumps of classic, 2 pumps of hazlenut, substitute 2 pumps of white chocolate mocha for mocha… and substitute 2 pumps of hazelnut for toffee nut half whole milk, a splash of almond milk… a splash of soy milk… a splash of 2 percent milk… a splash of coconut milk… add mocha powder, and half breve with no whipped cream extra hot, extra java chips, extra foam, extra caramel drizzle, extra salt… add a scoop of vanilla bean powder, with light ice, well stirred… plus a whole banana, and dash of cinnamon… Uh, yeah that's it." 

Did he mention the what the fuck?

"Umm, coming right up?" he responded, blinking. Should he be doing this? Is it legal to serve this to a minor? 

Was he going to get arrested for this?

On second thought, Jason would kill him before he got the chance to be arrested. Well too bad Jason, you're the barista. You have to do it. It's not my fault this child is insane. 

He hesitated to ask the question policy always made him ask. "Can I get you anything else, or will that be all?" 

"Um... A scone? Blueberry... Please?" 

"Yeah, no problem." he typed into the register, quickly recording and ringing up the order. "That'll be... $28.76" 

The kid nodded and handed over 3 tens with a simple, "Keep the change." before walking away and sitting at a coffee table in the corner of the room, near the window and hidden away from other's in the room.
