Summary
Duke opened his eyes and met Damian Wayne's green ones.
"You... I was... you brought me back?"
The boy let go of his hand. "Tt. It wasn't difficult. You're just incompetent."
Duke blinked.
"As I was saying, I need your assistance. And your last name."
"Thomas... I'm Duke Thomas."
Damian nodded, as if the sight of him dissolved into pure light, a secret Duke had been trying to hide for months, was completely normal.
"Fine, Thomas. Follow me."
***
"I'm not giving you my soul!"
"Okay," Damian said slowly. Duke met the most indifferent look anyone had ever given him. "I didn't want it."
"You don't want my soul? Then... why did you make a deal with me?"
***
Or: Damian goes to school on a mission. Unfortunately for Duke, this will become his problem (at least he gets free lunches).
Also, Duke gets a Wayne Scholarship, Damian makes friends, Jason reads Austen, and Dick has a nice smile. Somehow, this means Alfred gets a new nephew.

Summary
Tim looked like he was going to cry. Jason felt cruel but couldn't stop talking. "People have little flaws, annoying habits, silences and gestures. When you know someone, you see the person in those gestures and silences, where others see chance. That's trust. That's family. You don't trust anyone, Tim. And I can prove it. I know your darkest secret and I have no idea what your favorite color is. You don't trust me. Okay, it doesn't have to be me. But don't say you trust people. That's not true."
***
Or: Tim Drake has fallen in love. Steph is worried, Jason feels bad. Dick is—as he should—walking off a cliff. Ra's Al Ghul is ready to make his move. Duke is too. Bruce is taking people to court. But here's the thing: you can't love without trust and Tim trusts no one.
Three stories of coming out and identity, when being who you are seems simply uncomfortable, not wrong.

Summary
"We have guests," Alfred said. "Master Bruce, the window, if you don't mind?"
The man nodded. "I was expecting him."
***
Jonathan Kent returned the next day. He asked for Damian, and when he saw the boy, he jumped on him and hugged him. Damian immediately moved away, but remained close. Jon laughed, and dragged Damian out "for ice cream." He looked at Alfred and said, in his most serious tone, "I'm Superman's son, I can protect him."
Damian snorted. "Tt, I've been trained since birth. I'm an Al Ghul and Batman's son. I can protect you."
***
"Hello, I'm Tim's friend, he... I need to see Tim."
"I'll let Master Tim know. Mister...?"
"Kent... Conner Kent."
Something like recognition passed through Alfred's eyes. "Ah, Master Kon. Of course. You can wait in the living room, if you like."
***
Or: Alfred always knows when someone is family. Getting to know them, though, is another story. It's a long road but they've definitely started walking.
The Kents, however, keep appearing in the middle.
