Disclaimer-I do not own Batman

Bruce's POV

It was midnight, and four of the Bats were on patrol. Batman, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin.

Oracle was giving them info, Black Bat was in Hong Kong, Batgirl was out of town, and Red Robin was sick again.

Batman had made him stay home, getting Alfred to watch him. He hated watching his son while he was sick, ever since he lost his spleen while looking for Bruce. It made him feel guilty.

He was, however, quite happy to be back, with all of his children. Jason had finally returned to him, and Bruce had plans to reform him, and Cass promised she'd be back soon, wanting to see them all again.

Things were finally starting to look up again for the Bat Family. Once Cass was back and Tim was better, Bruce would be completely content with his entire family with him again.

In a way, it was a surrogate family, but Bruce loved all of his children as if they were related to him by blood, even though only Damian was, and he felt as if Alfred was just like his father.

But Bruce could not have predicted what was going to happen next, and how it would change him and his family.

"Batman," he heard Oracle's voice through his com, "Something's up; I am getting a huge rating on something."

"What is it, Oracle?" he asked, concerned.

His son's looked over at him, curious to know what was going on.

"Batman, you've got to get out of there, it's-"

But Bruce never got to hear what it was before seeing a bright flash of light, and then he and three of his sons were teleported to another dimension.

Bruce felt a pounding in his head as he got to his feet, and made to help his sons up.

Jason, of course, tried to avoid help, but Dick was accepting of it and so was Damian.

"Where are we, Father?" Damian asked, putting a hand to his head.

They must all have a bit of a headache like me, he thought, though he could feel it was going away. Nothing could wound a Bat for long.

"I'm not sure, Robin," Bruce said, knowing they should still keep to the code, even here. "But I think we are in a different dimension."

"We are?" Dick asked, looking a little worried.

"Wouldn't be the first time that's happened to one of us," Jason muttered.

"What do we do now?" Dick asked, but Bruce never got to answer before a set of thugs came out of no where, guns pointed at them.

"Well, look what we have here, boys," one said, "some wannabe superheroes."

One laughed. "Well, I guess we'll just have to take care of them; we've enough problems with those Cats."

The Bats were already dropping into stances, preparing to fight, even if their enemies did have guns.

Bruce knew he's do anything to protect his sons, even if he did die. They may be Bats, but they just faced inter-dimensional assault, were still a little woozy from the incident, and outnumbered by men with guns. They could very well get shot, but if one of them was going to, it was going to be Bruce.

He would always protect his children.

The men cocked the trigger, about to shoot, and the Bats were about to fight, when the shadow fell from the sky and tackled them.

Whoever he was, he was fast, and strong, but seemed lithe and light on his feet. He had a style similar to Nightwings's.

The boy, and he was a boy, maybe about seventeen, beat and bound the thugs before the Bats could react. Bruce wondered if he had super speed, like Allen or Wally.

Then he turned looking at the Bats, almost hostilely, as if trained not to trust anyone, and for a brief flash he looked almost curious that they were in costumes too, but it vanished quickly enough.

The boy crouched a little, as if prepared for an attack.

"Calm down," Bruce said. "We're not looking for a fight."

"Then what'd you do to piss them off?" the boy, who was dressed in a black suit with a catlike mask, asked. His voice seemed familiar. One look at the other Bats, and he knew they'd reached the same conclusion.

But whoever this was, he didn't wait for them to answer. Instead, the boy darted away, scaling the wall as if he really was a cat, and with a few jumps an flips, worked his way up onto the roof of a building, vanishing from sight.

"Come on," Bruce said.

"We're going after him?" Nightwing asked.

"Got a better plan?" Red Hood asked.

Nightwing didn't reply as the four Bats used grappling hooks and flips to get up onto the building's roof, only to find their catlike savior to be no where in sight.

They would have to go on a search, after all, he couldn't have gotten far.

Tim's POV

Stray leapt from the building's roof, down to the window sill, and pulled himself inside.

The cat boy climbed into the Cat Den and padded along through the halls.

He could hear Selina coming up behind him.

"Tim, you're back," she said.

He nodded. "Where's Kitrina?"

"She's still on patrol," Selina said. "How did things go?"

"Stopped an attack," he said. "On some vigilantes."

"What?" she asked.

He nodded. "They were in costume. Some thugs went after 'em. Probably didn't want anyone else threatening them like we do."

It was true. Ever since Catwoman had adopted her two, young protégés, she had grown a habit of helping out civilians, especially with all the threats out there. She still stole, of course, but she was a cat, and it was in a cat's nature to be sneaky.

"Interesting," she said. "Did they seem threatening?"

"No, even told me they weren't looking for a fight, but I'm not sure if I believe them or not," he said. Tim had trust issues, and Selina understood them. She had them herself, and so did Kitrina.

She nodded. "Very well, see what you can find out about them."

He nodded. "I will."

AN: Well, what do you think?

Okay, so in this story, Bruce Wayne never became Batman in the dimension they traveled to, so there will not be any contact between them an Bats from their universe, not counting Tim, cause he's a Cat in this universe.

I considered making this a crossover between Batman and the Catwoman movies, because I kind of draw off of that for the Cats in this story. Basically, they are like in the movie, sort of Cat people with the cat senses, agility, strength, speed, etc. All able to happen because at some point they died. In my fic, Catwoman was gifted the power like she was in the movie Catwoman, by Midnight, but she was also given the power to do that to others who had died, so I decided to make that happen to Tim an Kitrina.

In this fic, I have Kitrina go by Catgirl, but she never went by Kitty Hawk, and Tim goes by Stray, as that's what I've heard fans call him in fics when he's Selina's apprentice. .

There will be Daddy!Bats and lots of brotherly stuff between the boys, who are all concerned about this dimension's Tim. We'll be seeing a different side to Tim. He only trusts Selina and Kitrina, and has a lot of issues with contact from abuse from his parents before they died and has nightmares a lot about dying, as that's how Cats are made, and his parents hurting him.

I'm also thinking of making this have KitrinaxTim, because, they are partners in this AU story and something could've very well developed between them, and I've always thought Dick should be with Babs. May also have BrucexSelina, I'm not sure yet

Well, I really want to know what you think of this, you are welcome to review if you like or send me a PM. If you have any thoughts, comments, or suggestions, let me know.
