avuncular
Amongst the unofficially adopted Batkids, they had all agreed that the Batman was their avuncular, employer, always there for them, despite not being of any relation to them, regardless of lineage or paperwork.
And they were glad that he hadn’t insisted on taking them in into his already rambunctious family. Steph and Duke had turned him down almost immediately after he had even just mentioned it to them.
Even Harper and her younger brother, Cullen, chose to stay out of the slightly unhinged family of vigilantes, knowing full well how much the boys had fought against each other on literally anything and everything under the sun...or the moon, since they always worked in the night, blending in with the shadows--
Save for Robin, but even just mentioning his costume would start another strife between the two Bat boys when they were supposed to be putting a stop to one, not engage each other.
‘Thank goodness I’m not part of that!’ was the collective thought of Bluebird, Spoiler, and The Signal that evening.
