Wayne Manor

" This. is. AWESOME!" Hal cried in excitement as their limo drew up outside Wayne Manor.

The other boys, except for Percy, wore expressions of shock at seeing their new home. They had gone from homelessness, to living in a mansion in the space of a few hours. What kid wouldn't be excited?

And when Alfred opened the door for them, and the boys found out they now had a butler, the day just got better.

Bruce chuckled as he watched the three youngest boys leap from the car with wide eyes clearly ready to explore. However he noticed that Richard and Will didn't seem too enthusiastic and were glancing at him every now and then with strange looks.

" I've sorted all the paperwork, so it's all sorted for you boys to all live here with me," Bruce explained calmly to Percy and the other two older boys.

" Thanks, we'll go inside, not like we brought any stuff with us," Percy joked as he shoved his brothers out of the car.

Following the others inside, Bruce smiled as he watched Nico, Hal, and Jason tearing around the entrance room, staring around them and pointing out cool things to each other.

" Well the younger boys seem to like it here," Bruce chuckled to Alfred, who was watching them with a fond smile.

" Are you sure you can raise six new kids, Master Bruce?" Alfred asked with an eyebrow raised.

" Alfred, I raised Damian, Tim, and Terry. I can deal with these kids if I spent fifteen years with Damian," Bruce assured, remembering his three sons who would all be very interested to hear the news.

" Have you thought of what you'll tell the justice league when the media finds out?" Alfred inquired.

Bruce stopped for a second, practically picturing Barry and Clark laughing their heads off when they heard of him taking in more kids. He'd never hear the end of it the they started talking about how soft he was getting.

" I'll think of something. Now Alfred, would you like to meet my new sons?" Bruce answered, gesturing to the dirty, street clothed boys.


Percy wasn't used used to such......comfort.

The room he was led in to by Alfred was huge, with a massive four poster bed, cream colored walls, a huge wardrobe and an adjoining bathroom.

He had his own bathroom.

Oh he was in heaven. He could only imagine how the easily excited Nico and Hal would react to having their own rooms much like his. They'd be jabbering on about it for hours. However, he knew that they had a right to be excited.

He just wasn't sure if he could go from living on the street, to living as a son of Bruce Wayne. Was he ready to trust the world of adults again after running from them since his mother's murder.

And what of his powers? He and Nico wouldn't be able to hid their powers forever, no, in fact he would have to tell Bruce soon, hopefully the older man would understand.

He was startled by the appearance of Alfred, who handed him a package of clothes and left. Looking at the clothes, he smiled at the new blue hoodie and denim jeans he was given. The blue button up shirt was also a like. 

Walking in to the shower he turned the water to as hot as he could stand and set to washing off the dirt and grime that often plagued his skin, washing his hair and using soap for the first time in ages to rid himself of the smell of downtown Gotham.

If he knew correctly, his brothers would be doing the same thing, and yet at this time he felt as though with every bit of dirt washed off, his time a street kid was also being washed away. Commanding the water to evaporate off of him upon exiting the shower he wandered out of the bathroom feeling cleaner than he had in years. 

By the impressed noise he heard from Dick and Jason as he exited his room they agreed with him, that he looked a whole lot better than usual.

His brothers did too, Dick and Jason sported new clothes, Dick had a black hoodie with a blue bird symbol on the front, and Jason had a new red dress shirt on that set off his bright green eyes.

" You all look better," Will commented as he exited his room with Hal on his shoulders.

Will had his signature colors on, green and brown, while Hal was positively beaming at his hart which had small anchor patterns all over it. Nico was last to emerge with white clothes that totally did not match his usual dark clothing, yet he didn't seem to mind since he was beaming at how clean he felt.

" We all look better. However, I don't quite know what we are meant to do know. W e are the sons of a billionaire playboy who knows nothing about most of us. Percy what's our next move?" Dick inquired, leaning against the wall of the hallway with his arms crossed.

" Bruce is really nice, you guys know that. All we need to do is be ourselves, and we will be fine. We can go to school, make friends, eat something that isn't out of  garbage can, and be normal kids! Besides, I think it's time to go and see our new father," Percy decided, clearly the ever optimist.

However, his words were really having the desire effect on Dick and Will, who were still apprehensive.

" Come on, I understand that this is new, but once you get to now Bruce you'll see that he is a great guy. He can't replace any of our parents, but he will give us opportunities we haven't had in years. We can make this work," Percy assured with a bright smile.
