Bruce Wayne only wanted to see his parents one more time. That was all. Just see them. Somehow a miraculous incident opened such a doorway for him. What he didn't expect to happen, was to come across a man so harmed by life that no one would save, but also to feel an alarming connection to him and an obscure sense that they've met before...

{telltale batjokes au} Batman's days were over, and Bruce Wayne was living a normal life, well, as normal as a billionare can be. Although, things change quickly when he gets a phone call. John Doe is missing. Bruce is worried of course, but he doesn't realise how close John actually is.
