The Mindfuck MemeThis is not a very nice meme! If you have any major or typical triggers, you're being warned here that you might want to keep fully clear. That said, ever misread 'midfuck meme' with an extra 'n' in it and been sorely disappointed? This one's for you

Bruce Wayne/Batman | DCAU | All of the mindfucks. All of them.

[beyondthecowl]

7? unsure...

[datpunchline]

Batsy!

[JJ's holding a present out, just for you. It's all wrapped up and pretty like! With a bow!]

oh this will be beautiful xD

[beyondthecowl]

[Something in the back of his mind yells at him not to take the offered gift, but when has he ever listened to the more rational side of himself?

Slowly he reaches out and takes the present from Tim JJ. He turns it around in his hands a few times, then tears the wrapping paper off . . . ]

a beautiful Batmobile car crash

[datpunchline]

[He's watching in excitement, trying to keep the giggles to a minimum. So fucking excite! Inside is something red and black and... red almost all-over. Someone's old Robin costume, gently used, so to speak.

It's a re-gift, but shhh. Most people can't tell the difference.]

yessss

[beyondthecowl]

[He just . . . looks at the costume inside for what seems like an eternity.

And then it hits him, like a fucking bullet train, and he drops the box.]

No. It can't be.

Tim . . . what did they do to you? [For once, the Batman is rendered completely helpless.]

[datpunchline]

[Hey. HEY. Don't drop that shit. JJ spent a long time wrapping it up just right.]

Careful! [He scoops the box back up and outright shoves it back into Batman's hands.] Butter fingers. Hee hee.

what does it say about me that I chuckled at that comment :|

[beyondthecowl]

[And, as if a light switch has been flipped in his head, he goes from shock to Rage Mode™.]

Where. Is. He?! [He's gripping the box so tightly that if it weren't for his gloves, his knuckles would be visibly white.]

that hopefully I am getting better at making funnies? 8D

[datpunchline]

Hahaha! [Normally, Tim would be wincing at this bad, bad side of Batman, but he's not exactly in a normal place right now. So he jumps back a step and laughs instead.]

Who? [Aw man, not the box. What did it ever do to you?]

lolz, maybe so ;p

[beyondthecowl]

The Joker. [He's still holding the box, but probably won't be for much longer if he goes after Joker.]

[datpunchline]

[Hands clasped behind his back and smiling.] Not here~

[JJ got to play outside today all by himself!]

[beyondthecowl]

You know where he is? Help me find him. [A simple enough request, at least he thinks so, anyway. Surely Tim JJ isn't so far gone that he can't process that.]

[datpunchline]

...

[Oh, he processed that just fine, but,]

You'd rather play with him?

[There's a faint twinge of something beyond his lighthearted tone. Almost... hurt.]

4......

[kryptonsson]

[Bruce hadn't been at the JLA's base for weeks. It was fine, really. Clark understood. Bruce had always been a busy man... and Clark was never patient, but he could be.

For Bruce.

But now Bruce had... kids. To take care of. Kids that would talk to him. Be with him. Love him.

And what's worse, Bruce would love them back.

That Clark didn't understand.]

Quiet night in Gotham?

[A voice appears behind you without a warning]

[beyondthecowl]

[Bruce is perched on the top of one of the vertical cable suspenders of Gotham Harbor's bridge. Something was supposed to go down on the bridge tonight; something big. Yet so far, nothing had happened.

At the sound of Clark's voice, Bruce straightens, his feet perfectly arched on the curve of the cable.]

Is there something you need, Superman?

[kryptonsson]

[Clark just smiles because that's so... Bruce. Such a Batman answer.]

I need you to listen to me.

[beyondthecowl]

I'm listening.

[Bruce isn't sure what else he could say to that, really.]
