Ungodly hour debate

Unlike any morning Bruce Wayne the playboy millionaire of Gothem woke up early. As he walks towards the kitchen he is greeted by the four arguing  voices of his sons. Sighing to himself he contemplates turning round and getting back into bed instead of facing whatever they are arguing about at this inhuman hour.

Taking offered coffee from the waiting butlers hand, he takes a sip and listen to what his boys were actually saying.

"My lovely cereal is obviously the best thing to have in the morning!" Dick yelled

"Yeah sure it is, totally isn't a whole load of sugar coated in more sugar, unlike my bread" Jason scoffs while shouting.

"Well sugar wakes you up in the morning so your ready for the rest of the day and you can function properly" Dick counters

"If anything wakes you up in the morning it's my coffee its complete caffeine"  Tim says interrupting his two older brothers.

"Ugh, your all wrong my tea is by far superior to all yours, my tea has caffeine like Drakes coffee and shall not rot your teeth or give you diabetes like Graysons cereal yet is still sweet and isnt as bland as Todds boring bread" Damion says with his usual surpirior tone that his older brothers take no notice of, much to the young Wayne's disgust.

Bruce slowly sips his warm brown liquid watching his sons unusual yet perfectly normal debate as his trusted friend walks up beside him. "How long have they been at this?"

"All morning sir, it is there usual early morning debate after all" the old butler answers like its obvious. Bruce glances up at his father figure with mild interest "they do this everyday?"

"Yes sir, everyday, almost same time, same topic though they are usually done before you awaken, though it does seem as though they are about to stop soon though" he answerered reasuringly. 

Both men watch silently as the four boys stop yelling look at each other and switch plates so Dick has the coffee, Jason has the tea, Damion has the cereal and Tim has the bread. They look at each skeptically before trying there new breakfast item. Then in sync glare at each other and scream "THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOUR RIGHT!" Then perusal they fall into silence enjoying there breakfast together.

When they have relaxed dick looked over at alfred and is about to say something when he notices his father  "hey dad, morning did not see you there, your up way to early!"
The oldest boy says bounding over to his father for a hug which Bruce obviously accepts. You see unlike his siblings Dick basically lives off physical contact. Bruce looks over Dicks shoulder at his other sons and says.

"You honestly have this debate everyday?"

Jason shrugs and says "obviously we have to defend our favourites, it's a basic need between siblings"

Bruce just stated at his four sons, with a exasperated expression on his face and mumbles "it's to early to deal with this shit" he quickly drowns his mug, reaches for another and quickly heads back to bed hoping these weren't the heroes that would one day take over gothem as its protects.

"This city has no hope" he signs before falling into bed.
