(from crossed-worlds) (Usiku to Tangle)
He still owed her that bowl of noodles from home, luckily Pigsy's place did take out. So, three bowls of the best noodles in Megapolis? Yep, that was easy to do. He had gotten three in case there was anyone in the same room as the lemur that he was looking for. Tracking down the lemur on the other had was more difficult...even with his hearing, he could pin point her sure. But he'd rather not give the entire Restoration a heart attack by moving through and popping out of the shadows. So the macaque was walking today...
"She's gotta be here somewhere..."
Working at Restoration was kind of a full time Job, most of the time at least. But today wasn't exactly a good day for her as she didn't like doctors, even if that Doctor was Tails. After everything that happened with Eggopolis, and the weird phase trap, Tails was keeping a close eye on the three of them that got zapped. Tangle was effected the longest or was she? it was kind of confusing. But the way Tails described it, she had the most unstable exposure which put her at the most risk? Well she sure as heck didn't wanna phase through stuff again!
Luckily everything seemed fine, but Tails wanted her to wear this weird watch for awhile. She gave it a few taps but couldn't make heads or tails of it. She just wanted this whole ordeal to be done! still it was exciting! she couldn't deny that! Another story, to tell another adventure under her belt!
She looked up at Tails Workshop, yep shaped like his head!
" ... that's still weird... but guess branding? "
She didn't notice Usiku walking up behind her, and frankly it wouldn't even be the first time he managed to creep up on her! but for once she had zero excused! he wasn't even using the shadows!

There was a teen in the cave.
A teen no one knows and looks like he could be a wayne, stands in the cave.
"Actually, I'm a wayne." He says with a shrug.
Bruce, Batman, carefully thinks of the implication.
"Not yet," The teen, Danny, doesn't say anything. Simple smiles. "You're not a wayne, yet. You will be. But not yet."
Then Bruce sighs, dropping the batman mask in order to take in the teen.
"Does future me know of the time travel?"
Dannys smile grows into a grin, deciding to take pity on the man. "You, grandbat, have..." He makes a vague gesture. "Theories, which none of your children ever confirmed."
The bat's mind short-circuits at the choice of words
Dick is sputtering incomprehensibly, there are Baffled expression all around.
Because.
Because that child isn't Bruce's, but one of theirs.
"Who is it?" Jason demands, hand clenching his gun uselessly.
Danny continues to smile, a hint of mischief now peeking out.
The cave is filled with theories, some yell, some sob, yet all eyes leave danny.
All but one pair.
She had known the moment his body language switched just enough for her to read.
She had known the moment he disappeared before the clan.
Had known when his hand found hers, shoulders bumping.
Her heart clenches, throat dry and memories of her childhood flooding to mind.
So she asks, voice soft and hesitant.
"Am I a good mother?"
And danny looks up at cass, adoration and pride laid out plain for her to see and accept.
"You're the best."
And so they both watch the clan together, silent and comfortable.
(Cass doesn't question when she finds him, how and why. All she knows is that she's more attentive when out on patrol, looking and waiting.)
(This is how Cassandra Cain-Wayne returns one night from patrol, a child, barely out of toddler stage and clinging to her form.)
(This is how the Batclan officially meets one Daniel James Cain-Wayne, freshly washed and clothed, a cookie in hand and hiding shyly behind Cass.)
(When they meet, all they say is "Welcome home, danny," and "Good to see you again.", Danny doesn't necessarily get it, but that's okay. Maybe his new mom will explain it one day when he's bigger.)
