The boy stared up into Bruce’s face, his mouth slightly agape. “Well Timothy, how would you like to come inside for some hot chocolate?” Just this once.īruce knelt down to Timothy’s level and smiled. They could keep their nightlife secret from a well behaved seven year old. Bruce had seen Timothy at galas and charities before, he was a good boy, well behaved. But Jack had made it seem like an emergency and no one else could take care of the boy while they were gone, so Bruce had eventually agreed. He hadn’t wanted to take Timothy with him, wherever he was going.īruce didn’t understand, Jack and Janet Drake went on month long excursions all the time, taking Timothy with them had never been a problem before. And Dad looked angry.īruce watched as Jack Drake got in his car and drove away, leaving his seven-year-old son behind. He looked between the men standing before him again. Well, Dad didn’t know he was Batman, he just thought he was Bruce Wayne, but it didn’t matter. Sometimes he could hear something shatter. They’d sent him to his room when Sharon left.Īnd he could hear them yelling til he fell asleep. Mom and Dad’s faces got even redder and angrier when he said that. It didn’t matter if they left him home alone, they did it all the time, he was used to it and he could take care of himself. He tried to tell her he was fine and he could take care of himself. That someone might have been named Sharon and she had come to talk to them. Someone was mad that they left him home alone. Tim had tried hard to be good this time, but they were only more stressed and angry than he’d ever seen them. He didn’t want to think about that either. Probably something creepy he didn’t want to think about. Mom was off “dealing with the idiots in CPS.” Whatever CPS was. Mom would say he was angry if she were standing here. Well, he called it annoyed, but all his muscles were tense and his voice was louder than usual. Tim looked between the figures staring each other down. “You already have two boys and we both know the house is too big for you anyway, just give him a guest room, you won’t even know he’s there.”
