A boy at the age of twelve closed the door shut to his bedroom as he walked in. The boy had short black hair, wore a long sleeved black shirt and blue jeans. This boy was Damian Wayne, son of Bruce Wayne, son of the Batman. By day he was Damian Wayne, by night he was Robin.
Damian had a stoic personality like his father, he mostly acted like he was an adult than a kid, due to being raised and trained by a secret, ancient ninja organization for most of his life up until he was ten when he started living with his father.
Damian sat on his bed in front of his flat screen TV on the wall. He grabbed his remote to turn it on, then going to Discovery Family. Now you would expect Damian to be in to adult shows like The Walking Dead, Bones, or Breaking Bad, which he was in to, but there was one show he was in to the most, so in to it that he is obsessed with it. That show being My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Yep, that's right Damian is a Brony. It was weird, a kid who always had a stoic and serious personality would be obsessed with a pony cartoon.
Damian wasn't always in to My Little Pony. When he first heard of it he had no feelings for it, due to being made for little girls, but he soon learned that kids his age or older, even adults, watched MLP. At first he thought it was silly and that these Bronies should grow up.
But then he found out that his best friend, Jon Kent, son of Superman, and Clark's cousin Kara were MLP fans too. Damian had feelings of disgust about it, but kept it to himself.
He got into the show one night when he was just browsing through his TV and suddenly came across and episode of My Little Pony. He was about to turn it when he heard someone on the TV say "Clock is ticking, Twilight." it was a purple unicorn "Clock is ticking." she then smiled almost wider then Joker. She looked like she was going...crazy? Since when do little girl shows have that kind of humor?
"Keep it together." said the unicorn "If I can't find a friendship problem...I'll make a friendship problem." she again smiled like she lost her mind. Her craziness reminded him of a certain joker. Damian was going to turn it, but decided to see where this was going.
After the episode was over Damian was left pondering to himself. Why did he show interest in that show? He was against the fandom yet he finds himself watching an episode of the show. "Maybe it's not as bad as I thought."
"Up next: more My Little Pony." said a woman's voice on the TV.
Damian thought for a moment then came to a decision "Very well, i might as well give this um, children's entertainment a chance."
The TV played three more MLP episodes and Damian watched, never taking his eyes off the screen. He laid in his bed thinking about the show, it wasn't all that bad. It had good humor, great animation, perfect morals and great characters, Damian especially took a liking to the pony named Fluttershy.
The next day, Damian decided to watch more of My Little Pony when he got home from school. He started watching episodes in order on Netflix, starting from the first episode. He never thought he'd like it this much, he just couldn't stay away from it.
Damian couldn't believe it, he didn't want to admit it, but...he was wrong. He cringed at the thought of being wrong, but it's true. He thought the show was just a little girls show, but he can see that it was made for both children and their parents.
Damian continued watching episodes every day after school and when he got home from crime fighting. He was becoming obsessed with the show, he couldn't beilieve it, he was becoming a Brony.
Two months after watching the show, he found out about fanfiction and started visiting FIMfiction.net a lot and watched pony videos on YouTube. He then told Jon and Kara about it and painfully admitting he was wrong. They would talk about the show non stop and talk about what their favorite characters were.
Jon's was Applejack, Kara's was Rainbow Dash, and Damian's was Fluttershy. He just found her so adorable that he just wanted to squeeze her in a tight hug.
Damian also collected merchandise. He had some figures, a Twilight's castle play set, a cap with Pinkie Pie's face on it, a blue zip up jacket with Rainbow Dashe's cutey mark on it, and a Fluttershy plush that he liked to snuggle with.
Damian was proud of being a Brony, but there was something wrong, something he considered himself a coward for. He was afraid to tell his family about his obsession with My Little Pony. He didn't know if they would judge him or not, but was too afraid too see for himself.
When he went out to see My Little Pony: The Movie, he said he was seeing The Lego Ninjago Movie. When he went to New York with Kara and Jon for a trip, he didn't mention that they were going to Bronycon.
Jon and Kara kept telling Damian that everything will be okay if he tells his family. They won't judge him, they told Clark and Lois about their MLP fandom, they didn't get why they liked it, but they didn't judge.
Damian was too afraid that he didn't listen, he thought it would also be embarassing for them to know that a kid with an adult like personality loved My Little Pony. It's been two years since Damian's been a Brony and still kept it a secret all this time. But soon that all changes.

VROOM
A getaway car, driven by bank robbers, was speeding through the streets of Gotham as it was being chased by two police cars.
"Frank!" said the driver "Get 'em off the road."
Frank pulled out an AK-47 and opened fire as he leaned outside the window facing the cop cars. He didn't hit any drivers, but was able to shoot the tires out, causing them to crash.
"Heh looks like we're home free." the driver smiled. Then out of nowhere a figure landed on the hood of the car, startling him. The figure wore a grey tight fitting armoured suit, a black scalloped cape, black boots, black gloves with triangular blades, a black cowl with bat ears and white lenses, a yellow utility belt around his waist and on his chest was a bat in a yellow oval. Batman.
"No...your not." Batman said in a gruff, intimidating voice.
He punched his fist breaking the glass and wrapping it around the driver's shirt collar. The driver was then pulled out, screaming, and thrown onto the street.
Batman grappled off the car as it crashed into a wall, which didn't kill the henchmen, but injured them.
Batman and Robin watched from a rooftop as the robbers were put in cuffs.
Robin wore a green domino mask, a red tunic with an R on the right side of his chest, a yellow utility belt, black pants, green boots, green gloves with triangular blades, and a yellow scalloped cape.
They were with two other vigilantes who were once Robin. Red Robin, who wore a red tight fitting suit with a robin facing the right on his chest, a yellow utility belt, a black cape, and a black cowl. His name was Tim Drake.
There was also Nightwing. He wore a black tight fitting suit with a blue eagle on his chest and a black domino mask, he also carried to batons on his back. His real name was Richard 'Dick' Grayson.
They both came to Gotham to help Batman and Robin with an earlier mission and thought they'd stay a few days.
"Looks like they're not gonna be sleeping well tonight." Nightwing commented.
They were about to go to another part in Gotham until suddenly they all felt a slight dizziness in their heads.
"W...what's h...happening?" Robin said dizzily before they all past out. Purple auras then surrounded them and in a bright flash they disappeared.
