--Excerpt--

Tim had never seen Bruce’s left eye twitch like that.

Quinn draped her arm around Tim’s shoulder, and put on the tone when she tried to sound serious. “Now I want you to know that even though Bruce and I have gotten serious about our relationship, and we’re going to be spending more time together, he’s still your father and loves you very much, okay sport?”

Tim looked at the earnest face of the repeat Arkham Asylum inmate with a growing sense of dread.

“Having said that, me and him will be performing a number of activities that two adults usually do when they’re alone, and we’re going to need some alone time then. Unless you like to watch. But don’t worry, that’s a lot more normal compared to some of the rumours I’ve heard about Brucie and his Robins. Anyways ... in short? If the Batcave’s rockin’, don’t bother knockin’!”

It took Tim a lot longer to get his jaw working to deliver the words. “Thanks for the heads up.”

“No problem!”

“Can I ... talk to Bruce?”

“Sure! Boy talk! Male bonding! Normal, healthy relationships! It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of those ...”

Tim looked Bruce in the eye.

“What. The. Hell.”

Bruce looked up at Tim.

“She worked it out. Who I was. She successfully profiled me.”

“Your big announcement, B-Babe!”

Wha ... oh. Bruce Wayne giving the worldwide announcement of his ‘secret funding’ of Batman, and extending that concept to creating Batman Incorporated.

Harley had casually dropped herself into Bruce’s lap. “Seriously, anyone who knows Batman knows that it’d be a little fishy that he’d let anybody else control his cash?” She gave Bruce a big smile. “I mean, face it honey, you’re just a bit of a control freak.” She then turned to Tim, cupped one hand around her mouth, and started whispering in a tone that could be heard across a crowded stadium. “I’m probably going to need a safeword.”

Tim was desperately remembering the focusing meditative techniques that were taught to him to fight off the Scarecrow’s toxin.
They weren’t helping. “And how did you ...”

“Here I was, realizing that Bruce had told anyone with training in psychiatry and gotten up pretty close and personal with Batman who he was, and I was wondering why ... when it hit me.”

Quinn curled up in the lap of the frozen still Bruce. “All this time, when I’d shot him, given him a whammy with a big mallet, put him in all those death traps, and he still ensures I get a fair trial, a parole hearing, saves my life when I make a teensy miscalculation in placing explosives.”
