Far Away

14. Al's Cookies

Bruce, Clark and The Avengers were sitting on the living area as the boys were left to get into a heated conversation in the other room- Something about animals being better than humans.

Tony watched Bruce and immediately decided he hated him. Bruce felt the same thing, but he seemed to hate everyone in the room given his grim expression.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, Clark nudged Bruce's arm, signalling him to say something. He was getting really uncomfortable with the stares he was given.

Bruce glared at Clark, but cleared his throat to speak anyway.

"I would like to thank you for keeping the kids safe all this while. They... Mean the world to me" the last part came out as a whisper, but it turns out the batboys heard it anyway.

"Awwiee. We love you too, B"

"Wait, did he just say...thank you?!"

"Someone call 911, Bruce is sick!"

">tt<"

Bruce pinched the bridge of his nose and started to curse under his breath.

"And.. I apologize for any trouble they put you through in --" Bruce was cut off by Steve saying "Oh no, they were really nice kiddos. Except for... Well, one time"

That left Bruce confused. He and Clark exchanged glances. Unbelievable.

"You mean... No one set fire to the tower? No one broke each other's arms or... Nothing?"

"Er... No?"

"Rao..." Clark was amazed. Because, back in their universe, Bruce had to replace everything in the manor every once in a while.

When Nat felt like it was the right time, she started lecturing the two men about the risks of making kids fight crime.

•••

The heated lectures by Nat and unbelievably appropriate reasoning by Bruce was interrupted by some familiar voices of yelling.

Steve and Nat immediately rushed to where the boys were. Everyone else followed. Bruce made his way to the front of the crowd to see what was going on.

Jason was trying to plant punches on Damian and Damian was trying to stab him with a knife as he used Tim as a human shield. Dick was yelling at the top of his lungs, trying his best to keep them all from killing each other.

The Avengers were already trying to pull the boys apart. But all their effort was in vain. The boys did some bat-level stuff and most of them went flying around while some could barely keep up.

Clark shook his head and tried to hold back Damian.

"Get your hands off of me, alien"

"Calm down, bud"

"Do not forget the fact that I have kryptonite where my hands could reach"

Clark was taken aback. Seriously?

He gave Bruce a look. Bruce stood their emotionless. Yeah, seriously.

"Aren't you gonna do something? You are their father, mister!" Almost every Avenger in the room shouted at Bruce, who was watching the whole scene like it was just a movie he has been watching repeatedly for years now.

Bruce sighed. "Boys!"

"Your son is a brat, just like y--aargh" Jason was cut off when Damian managed to finally stab him.

Bruce had had enough. Also, if he don't interfere right now, they might actually kill each other.

He let out a deep sigh and declared, "You stop right now, or no one is going to eat Alfred's cookies for a whole week"

Once he finished, all four of the boys immediately stopped what they were doing and aligned themselves in a way that screamed innocence. Even Damian and Jason looked so baby-like.

If they hadn't been there and seen it with their own eyes, the Avengers would not believe that the very same boys were having an earth shaking fight just moments ago.

"Good. Now, apologize"

"We are sooorryy" All four of them sang in unision.

"Hey, B. Please don't tell Alfie!" Dick said with his trademark puppy eyes.

"We'll see"

Every Avengers watched the weirdos from another universe as they all looked like nothing strange happened and it was a normal clear day.
