When Bruce brought Dick home to the manor, it had already been a month since his parents death. He was quiet, scared and alone. Social services had stolen him from his family, accusing the Circus not being fit enough to raise a child.
And in return Dick was punished for that choice by being sent to the juvenile detention centre. Dick was bullied, beaten and verbally attacked. He was treated as the Circus freak the rest of Gotham saw him as instead of a grieving and broken boy who lost his parents.
Bruce wasn't overly worried for Dick when he brought him home. He's got four other son's and daughter he's took home and did his best to raise as well as he could.
Sure, Damian was still harsh when speaking but he hasn't tried to kill anyone for years now and as a grown man who Bruce was proud over.
Duke, he pretty much raised right before he lost his parents and stayed the good hearted boy that his parents taught him to be. He acted as a good example for Damian and a decent brother. Duke stayed kind and caring, still able to smile much more freely than the rest of the family.
Tim, Tim was a genius and crafty. He was still sly and smart, even after his death and dealing with the pit. He might have changed and became a type of man that Bruce wanted to shield him from. But he still loved Tim, still respected him and saw him as his son.
Than Cass, he feared she'd never get to experience the feeling of freedom and love. He feared she wouldn't accept the family or the emotions that came with being in one. But she thrived most of all and while she still didn't talk much, she smiled and felt real happiness. She was growing up to be a fine women and a hero. Thankfully she was still in her teen years and wouldn't be leaving the nest too soon.
Jason, he had calmed down much better since being taken off the streets. He grew comfortable around the family and no longer saw them as much of a threat. He relaxed around them, still kept his walls up but wasn't afraid of being kicked out anymore.
And now Dick.
Bruce knew with the mixture of issues his children have and had face, he'll be taken care off well enough.
And than Bruce died just two weeks after bringing Dick home. Not having a chance to really get to know the boy or bond with him. Leaving the boy as much as all the other children in his eldest care.
A while year later and he was back. Duke had stubbornly believed he was still alive and found him. Helping to bring him home and returning him to the family had missed. He knew time had passed but he didn't expect a year to change as much as it did.
Tim was getting along better with the family, coming round for more dinners than he did before. He even started to sleep round for at least one night if a case or shared patrol stretched out rather late.
Duke was living in the penthouse, his own apartment in Gotham was given up and he was helping to run Wayne Enterprises. The air between Duke and Damian seemed a little stiff and bitter but Bruce knew he did place some heavy burdens on his two eldest when he died.
