what if Bruce wanted a successor not a son? Bruce is starting to realize he's at his peak... it won't last long... one day he won't be strong enough or fast enough or tough enough to win and when that happens Gotham will be left unprotected. So when he goes to a circus and overhears a scheme... he does something he hasn't since he was a kid... he does nothing as two people are murdered. this story is an alt universe that strays from the main canon in several areas including some of the characterizations. this fic will include plots relating to Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Barbra Gordon the titans, the justice league and several other characters from the bat fam and the dc universe.

Mateo and Rufus are gone but for their friends, the story is just beginning... A new last day begins, one not full of romantic possibilities but friendships old and new.

i loved this story so here's my contribution to the fandom. Suffer with me. Here's my boys in the afterlife
