A New Adventure
Bruce stared at the filly in his arms as he fed her from a bottle of goats milk he'd warmed up for her. He still couldn't quite figure out what she was or where she came from. A unicorn small enough to fit in his lap...he'd never heard of anything like it. He wished he could consult someone on this.
He mentally went over the list of those he knew he could talk to about this. He had cut his ties to the Justice League not long ago, and hadn't heard from any of them since. His previous sidekicks had hung up their capes and were living normal lives. He knew very few of the people who worked for him personally. And not long before he cut ties with the League, Alfred passed away from old age...
He'd never noticed it before, so focused was he on continuing to fill the role of Batman, but being Bruce Wayne had slowly become more and more lonely. The empty echoes of the Wayne Manor weighing on the mind, wearing away at resolve, forcing the realization of loneliness on the last resident.
As he came to this realization, little Rarity popped the nipple of the bottle out of her mouth, let out a tiny burp, and giggled before nuzzling into his chest. Bruce couldn't stop a slight smirk from gracing his face.
A thought occurred to him. As Batman, he was known as being the modern world's greatest detective. Why did he need to consult with someone over this new arrival? It was just yet another mystery to be solved. He was only forced to hang up his cape due to a failing body. His mind was still as sharp as ever. This was just what he needed, a new challenge to keep his fire burning.
With this in mind, he lifted the tiny pony up to his face to look her right in the eye. "Let's see what I can make out of you," he whispered with a slight smile.
Giggling, Rarity reached forward and booped his nose with one hoof.
Bruce's eyes crossed as he stared at the hoof. "Don't do that," he scolded, eliciting another giggle.
Bruce carefully washed Rarity in the kitchen sink, getting a good examination of her in the process. He'd so far found that she was completely at ease in the bath and enjoyed being cleaned, as long as he used high quality shampoo. The minute he reached for a generic, she kicked up a fuss and sent it flying across the room in a telekinetic aura. She also barely whimpered when his inexpert washing got soap briefly in her eyes. From what he could tell from that, she was an exceptionally well behaved infant.
He had considered putting her in diapers, but when he'd set her down in the bathroom to look for supplies, she had kept trying to climb up to the toilet. Stabilizing her over the bowl, he had discovered that she was already toilet trained, and also apparently knew how to properly use a bidet. He'd instead made note to look into either designing a floor level toilet attached to a bidet or getting a stepladder she could climb up to the bowl with, along with a seat cover that gave her room to stand on.
Drying her off, he found that her appearance before had been deceptively smooth. Between how floofed up her coat got after drying and the mess her mane became, it took all his self control to keep from bursting into laughter. However, Rarity's anguished expression had him quickly reaching for a brush and comb to return her coat and mane to their former pristine, well groomed look. Discovering that he was actually enjoying it, he even took the time to curl her mane and tail.
Sitting back once she was neatened up, Bruce decided it was time to introduce her to the one other resident of the Wayne Manor. He let off a shrill whistle. "Ace!"
With a loud bark, a large German shepherd came racing up to his call. The canine came to a halt at his feet, coming to heel without being ordered, his eyes locked on his master.
"Puppy!" Rarity said happily, toddling over and trying to climb onto his back.
Ace glanced briefly at the filly before turning back to Bruce. He gave a questioning woof.
"This is Rarity," Bruce explained. Though this was technically Ace V, the courage, loyalty, intelligence, and determination of the original had bred true in at least one pup of each successive generation, and that pup that possessed those qualities was given the name and remained at Wayne Manor with Bruce ever since the first Ace had been by his side, and it was more comfortable for Bruce to treat each successive Ace as a continuation of the original. They certainly acted like it. "She'll be staying here, too. Be gentle with her, and keep an eye on her."
Ace gave an affirmative woof, then turned to watch as Rarity batted at his upturned ear.
Bruce sat back to watch. He knew he didn't have anything to worry here, at least as far as Ace interacting with Rarity. He had proven gentle with youngsters before. After a time of watching, he stood up. "I'm going to get some supplies from the store," he told Ace. "Keep her out of trouble until I get back."
Ace gave an affirmative woof. Rarity waved a hoof at him. "Bye bye!" she said happily.
Bruce wasn't sure if he should be pleased that Rarity was such a secure and good natured youngster, surprised at her grasp of language so young, or concerned if leaving her with Ace as her only watch was smart. Then again, she was a good deal smaller than Ace, and didn't look to be capable of much climbing. As he headed to the door, he shrugged. What was the worst that could happen?
As Bruce walked back into the manor with his groceries as his eyes fell on Ace and Rarity. Rarity looked overjoyed, Ace looked resigned.
Rarity turned to Bruce. "Fada! I make puppy pwiddy!"
Bruce groaned, wondering how he was going to clean up the mess.
It wasn't until much later that night, when Rarity curled up in a basket on a coffee table in his bedroom, that he realized what the first word she'd said there was.

AWWWW
THE DESU IS RISING AND IT NEEDS UPDATES!
I think my heart stopped for a second there...more please
5622940 NO, IT'S THE KAWII THAT IS RISING. Not desu.
This sentence seems worded wrong.
5623237
Grammatically, it isn't.
Sweet.
I half hope these stories eventually intertwine but I also know Rarity would be forced to fight Trixie to the death after Bruce strangles Max.
5623290 It still makes my head hurt
5623153 KAWAII DESU IS RISING!
So cute
The D'aaws are many!
YAY an update for this story!

"edit" sorry for two comments in a row... I know people hate that.
odd to see Ace already
5731706
Seems an AU.
Great story. Bloody funny. I love it!
As the words sank in, driven as if by a pounding of a hammer that just so happened to perfectly match the ticking of the old grandfather clock just outside his bedroom door, Bruce found himself sitting up in a cold sweat. "...Alfred, I know you're laughing right now." His voice growled out. It was only through self discipline that the twitching of his lips did not become a full smirk.
One would think Batman would know by now not to say those words...
I never really liked batman, but this might change that...
6381229
I know, right? I mean...especially after the Joker killed Jason Todd!

I've always liked Batman, (but not as much as Deadpool!), but I've always avoided anything to do with Batman Beyond, as there are real people in there 80s that are still physically fit, so Batman, with all of the workouts that he does, should definitely be physically fit in his 80s, not to mention that I was always more of a fan of the comic miniseries The Dark Knight Returns and the sequel to that, The Dark Knight Strikes Again, and it dealt with the old man Bruce storyline a lot better than the Batman Beyond series did I think. But, the other day, I saw this clip from YouTube, but I still feel that the comic miniseries did it better.
6938419 The stress of his life as batman most likley caused a faster degrading of his heart,organs and other muscles.
7676029 True. And all the minor injuries do stack.
7828459 yeah minor like the bane goodbye spine test
7992452
me: don't forget in byond is a continuation of batman the animated series he had his back broken in that most people never walk again after that wounder how hes still walking.
bat man : BECAUSE I'M BATMAN
8206157
While true, that's because the spinal cord is damaged. You can still walk as long as only the vertebrae are the only thing that gets broken.
I though Ace was a Great Dane/German Mastiff?
8552126
Original Ace was German Shepard. I took a few creative liberties.
Idk wats scarier pinkie attempting to place logic in radomness in the god of war era or that bruce wayne/ batman is the 1st being ive come across in these fics that's somewhat immune to adorableness and that it makes sensešµ
