A Perfect Diamond by Jen In Japan (PG)
Fandom: DC Comics
Pairing: Hints of Batman/Superman
Author on LJ:jen_in_japan
Author Website: N/A
Why this must be read:
This aspect of Bruce Wayne’s comic history has rarely been touched on by authors. While the incident of Batman having his memory stolen took place in the final three issues of Batman Adventures, there is so much that can be used as fanfic material. And, in this case,jen_in_japan certainly delivers. She perfectly captures what would have happened in those issues if Superman had made an appearance.
Bruce Wayne thinking himself to be a 7 year old is both cute, and funny, as are Superman's reactions (confusion for one) to everything that takes place when having to deal with a child-like Bruce Wayne.
There was an awkward silence between the three "adults"--no one was sure how exactly to bring up the topic of Batman. Bruce's eyes grew wide as the clock swung aside. "A hidden passage! Wow!" He ran ahead into the staircase. When the other three men caught up with him, he was standing in the middle of the cave, staring at the computer, the cars and motorcycles, the swarm of bats circling. He charged up to the men. "That's Batman's car! This is the Batcave! The Batcave is under my house!" he yelled.
"You...know who Batman is?" Dick asked.
"Batman? Sure. He fights evildoers and protects the innocent. He's totally cool." His eyes lit with speculation and he grabbed Dick's shoulders. "Are you Batman? I live with Batman?"
"No, Bruce. Um, I don't know how to put this, but...you're Batman."
"...No way."
"It's true." Bruce looked at Alfred and Clark, who also nodded. Bruce grinned and flung out his arms, looking up at the ceiling of the cave.
"I'm the gosh darn Batman!" His voice bounced and echoed off the walls; bats flew everywhere. He looked around the cave again. "So this is all mine? The cars and computers and stuff? Man..." Dick pulled a Robin outfit out and started to put it on. Bruce goggled. "You're Robin?"
