The Name (of the Game)
"D Squad Assemble!"
Lilith watched as Dick, Damian and Danny huddled together, Danny in particular giggling when Dick picked him up. Her eyes strayed over to the T Trio of Tom, Tim and Terry who were at the Batcomputer going over something. If she strained her ears a little she could probably know what they were doing since Tom hadn't put up a privacy charm.
"...Daddy?"
"Yes sweetheart?" Bruce didn't look up from where he was auditing his utility belt.
"Danny is in D squad with Dick and Dami. Terry has Tim and Tom. Cass, Conner and Cullen are the C Class. Jazzie and Jay are J squared and Mummy is with Harper in H Duo. I don't have a group." She concluded sadly, making Bruce look up.
"Sweetie, you're with me." He said, reaching out to pull the 6 year old in his lap. She didn't resist, cuddling in her father's chest.
"Daddy, your name starts with a B."
"Right but I'm not in a group with Barbara. I want to be in a group with you. We don't have to have matching names to do that." Bruce said, pressing a kiss to the crown of his girl's head. She looked up at him, a dubious look on her face. "You do know what this means, right?"
"Wot?"
"We get to go do secret fun things just the two of us. And I can get you secret treats like this." He said, handing over a Fizzing Whizzbee that was in his belt - how it got there, he had no earthly clue, but it was worth the way Lilith lit up.
"Thank you, Daddy"
"You're welcome baby."
"So now you have a little Loose Ends tribe?" Harry asked later that night once the kids were in bed or gone to their various homes.
"I couldn't let her just be sad over it." Bruce sighs as he rolled onto his back, bringing his husband with him. "She felt left out."
"I doubt that was what Dick intended but I'm glad you fixed it regardless, Mr. Batman." Harry smiled, patting his husband on the chest who grunted, making Harry's grin widen.
"We could fix it by having another kid but the ones we already have would stage a full out mutiny if we did that." Bruce pulled Harry up for a kiss, the wizard all but melting against him. Bruce bit back a smirk - he still got it.
"You can't threaten me with a fun time."
"I recall that you promised to curse me with full castration when you had the twins."
"I mean...you could carry them."
"Ignoring your many many many ardent attempts to knock me up, my fairly advanced age and the fact that Batman can't be MIA for roughly a year -"
"Such a spoilsport, you are"
"Yet you married me."
"I have a taste in men, I never said it was a good one."
