Summary
In a world where Batman is dead, his children carry on the legacy in the shadows. When they kidnap an alternate Bruce Wayne who never donned the cape, they find a man more open, more trusting, and a far better father.
Or,
But only one chose to love him in the light. The other, consumed by darkness, loved Bruce to the point of madness.

Bruce's breath catches as reality sinks in. Someone not only managed to take him down, but they'd also been in his home. With his kids. Fear shoots through him - how long had he been out? What if they'd come downstairs? His protective father instincts flare up despite his pain.
Bruce carefully shifts his position, trying to sit up without waking the kids. He needs to assess the situation, find out what happened and who did this. His hand reaches out, fingers brushing against something cold and metallic on the floor. "What the..." He freezes as he sees it - a syringe.
