Prologue: hapter 1: Chapter 2: Chapter 3: Chapter 4: Chapter 5 Chapter 6:
Six months, that's how long it's been since Bruce exiled you to New York and left you alone once again. It's been 387 days since Tiffany Maverick pulled the rug from beneath your feet and ensnared your family in her web of lies and manipulation. For six months, your family ignored you, only Alfred sending you the occasional care package which you promptly threw in the garbage.
You wish Tiffany and Damian were as content with ignoring you as the rest of the family but unfortunately, they went out of their way to rub their closeness in your face by sending you pictures of family movie night, family game night, and the family attending their school events. It made you angry at first, before you saw how funny it was. A family of billionaires, a family of detectives, a family of vigilantes, sitting next to a spy; obliviously feeding her insider information. The Batman, sitting grinning ear to ear next to a girl who could be his downfall.
Surprisingly, boarding school was amazing. The boys were hot, though most arrogant and dumb, they were all loaded and into you. The girls idolized you from the moment you walked in, your word was law around here and the power felt amazing. You decided what was in and out, who was hot and who was not; a huge difference and change of pace from the years of bullying and ridicule at Gotham Prep.
The charm came with your new abilities, most likely. Sure, the first two months were fucking painful and exposed you to pain you didn't think was possible but it was a small price to pay. It was nothing for the power of being able to charm and flirt your way out of just about anything, being able to eject venom with the slightest trace of your fresh set of acrylics, being able to literally bite people with your fangs and have them enjoy it, sensing heat signatures and feeling emotions and eyes on you, having the ability to give literal bone-crushing hugs, and so many things you haven't even discovered.
Not to mention your random overnight makeover! Suddenly, your figure was to die for, perfect in all senses of the word. Your skin gleamed and shimmered in the light, long shed away were all the blemishes and scars. Your hair always shiny and your teeth always pearly white, albeit a bit sharp. You're the image of beauty.
Who cares about the price when the product was this good anyway?
Who needed familial love when everyone here worshipped you? That new view and utter hatred for the family is what convinced you to accept Ariele, your boarding school bff and roomie,'s offer to spend summer break with her family in the south of france. Of course, you wanted to go back to manor for a week before meeting her there. Alfred asked you to come and though you were angry at him, you missed the old man. You swore to yourself that you'd only stay the night, catch up with Alfred, and ignore your 'family' then promptly spend the summer half naked, tanning on a super yacht with your girls.
Little did you know that you'd never make it to france, in fact, you wouldn't even make it out the manor now that Tim discovered the truth and told the rest of the family.
Tim Drake noticed things. Small things. Minute details that other people might overlook. That's how he found the truth.
It started with the cooking. Tiffany had casually mentioned one evening that sheâd found some old recipes in the manorâs archives, recipes that you had once written down, hoping to impress Damian with Arabic dinners and desserts. Tiffany had barely glanced at the handwritten notes before she had offered to make dinner that nightâa perfect replica of your signature stuffed cabbage leaves, Malfoof, as you called it.
Tim had been there when it happened. Heâd recognized it immediately. The dish was one of your favorites, one you had made for family dinners. It was too familiar, too precise for Tiffany, it lacked the usual love and effort.
Then came the awards. It was subtle at first, too. Tiffany casually dropping that she had âentered a local baking competitionâ and how much fun it had been to win. Tim had known that you had been the one to actually win that competition the year before, he remembered rolling his eyes as you foolishly tried to impress him. But when he checked the award Tiffany had won? It looked eerily similar to the one that you had earned. Tiffany didnât even bother hiding her gloating as she showed it off, calling it âanother step toward making Gotham proud.â
Timâs stomach churned. It wasnât a coincidence. Tiffany was stealing your life and he was the only one that saw it. Who knows what else she was stealing.
The pieces clicked into place when he found the old photo albums. Tiffany had been snooping around the library one afternoon, pulling out albums that had been tucked away in the back, ones that hadnât been touched in years. They were full of memories of your achievements, pictures of family vacations, awards won for charity work and academic excellence. Baby photo's, old camera's, journals, even old clothes.It wasnât just admiration. It was an obsession.
He saw her dig through and read every one of your old entries, saw her stare at pictures and attempt to manuever her body how you stood, but what really creeped him out was when she started tracing over your handwriting.
Tim couldnât let it go. This was insane. It was almost as if Tiffany wanted to wear your skin.
It wasnât that he wanted to make Tiffany an enemy or villainize her, quite the opposite actually, he'd been ignoring her strange behavior and smell for a year now because of how fond he was of her. But this? This was crossing a line. She wasnât just trying to fit in anymore, this was dangerous.
He now suspected there was more to Tiffany than just her obsession with your life and after putting the pieces together, it was becoming clear: Tiffany was playing a much deeper game. She wasnât just trying to steal your identity, she was stealing information, too.
Timâs investigative skills had been honed through years of being the tech guy of the Batfamily, and when something felt off, he didnât ignore it. Not anymore, he started tracking small anomaliesâtimes when Tiffanyâs presence seemed too convenient, moments when crucial data about Gothamâs underworld went missing from the Batcomputer, or when confidential mission details were leaked through channels Tim knew the Batfamily didnât use. Times when the Joker seemed to know the family's course of action and times when villains knew Duke's plans.
Thatâs when it clicked.
Tiffany wasnât just trying to fit in with the family. She was spying. Her affections with the family were a cover for something darker. She had been gathering intelligence for a shadowy organization, feeding them vital information about their operations. This was bigger than himâthis was a full-blown infiltration. Tiffany was working for someone else, someone dangerous.
Tiffanyâs betrayal ran deep, and her spying wasnât just about information anymore; it was personal. She had been stealing pieces of your life, your successes, your talents , your family. She had slowly taken everything that you had worked for and twisted it into her own false narrative. It was sickening.
Tim couldnât stand it anymore. He had dug through encrypted files, tracked hidden transmissions, and pieced together cryptic conversations. Tiffany wasnât just trying to steal your identity for the sake of becoming the perfect family member. No. She was mimicking your cooking and baking skills, down to the awards she had won for those very talents. She had been trying to erase you and replace you with a manufactured version of herself.
It was almost too much for Tim to handle. But there was something even worse lurking beneath the surface: the deeper he dug, the more it became clear that Tiffany wasnât just feeding information to criminals. She had been feeding off your spirit, your presence and she had nearly replaced you entirely.
Now he just needed to tell the other.
The tension in the Batcave could be cut with a knife as Tim stood before Bruce, Dick, Jason, Damian, Duke, Cass, Steph, Barbara, and Alfred, ready to show them what he had discovered.
âIâve been tracking Tiffanyâs movements for the last few days,â Tim began, his voice low but sharp. âAnd I found something thatâs... unsettling.â
Bruce, who had been scanning a mission report, looked up with interest. Dick turned to Tim, a puzzled expression on his face. Alfred stepped forward, his usual composed demeanor now replaced with a rare concern. Even Damian looked confused.
âWhat did you find, Master Tim?â Alfred asked, his tone calm, but there was a flicker of unease in his eyes.
Tim didnât hesitate. He clicked a button on the computer, and the large screen behind him flickered to life. A series of encrypted files appearedâmission logs, surveillance footage, and even intercepted communications. The Batcave was suffocating in its silence as Tim presented the evidence to Bruce, Dick, Jason, Alfred, and the others. His fingers flew over the keyboard, and every new image, every new file, felt like a punch in the gut.
There was a long silence as everyone processed the information. Bruceâs usual stoic expression faltered for a moment, and Dick clenched his fists. The weight of the revelation was hitting hard, but it wasnât just the betrayal that hurt. It was that someone in their midst had been pulling the strings behind their backs for a year.
The data was damning. It was all there, proof that Tiffany had been copying your recipes, your designs, your machines, even stealing the culinary awards that you had earned over the years. And on top of that, she had been siphoning critical Batfamily intel to an unknown organisation. The information was so sensitive, it could have jeopardized every single one of them.
âDo you see it now?â Timâs voice was quieter, but his anger was unmistakable. He flicked the last file onto the screen. Tiffanyâs false accomplishments, stolen directly from you. The stolen recipes. The mission intel sent out from the Batcomputer under her watch. âAll of us have been blind to it.â
âAbout a month ago,â Tim said, âI found an odd encryption pattern in the Batcomputerâsomething Iâve never seen before. When I decrypted it, I found a set of mission details. Ones that shouldnât have left the system. I traced the origin back to Tiffany.â
Alfred's face tightened as he took in the footage on the screen. It was a recording of Tiffany accessing classified Batfamily data, tapping into their most sensitive files.
âSheâs been stealing information,â Tim continued, his voice gaining intensity. âEvery single time sheâs interacted with the Batcomputer, sheâs been sending that data out to an unknown address. I can't track where it's coming from, it's too advanced; even for me.
âImpossible,â Bruce muttered, but his eyes were narrowing in disbelief. âWhy would sheâ?â
âBecause sheâs a spy,â Tim interrupted, âand it gets worse. Sheâs been feeding them everything. Our weaknesses, our next moves, our schedules. Sheâs not just a mole in the manor. Sheâs been working against us this whole time. She's why so many missions have failed.Timâs eyes narrowed. âItâs not just the familyâs accomplishments sheâs been stealing. Sheâs been getting close to each of us, using our trust. She knows things, personal things, and sheâs been leaking that information. Sheâs been feeding it to the highest bidder, giving Gothamâs worst players a playbook for taking us down.â
Dickâs face twisted with disbelief. âShe was pretending to be (y/n), taking her accomplishments as her own, butââ He trailed off, his voice faltering. âHow could we have let this happen? How did we not notice?â
Jasonâs voice cut through the heavy silence, rough and sharp, like a crack of thunder. He stepped forward, fists clenched. âI shouldâve known. Sheâs been playing everyone, pretending like sheâs all sweet and innocent, but she was using all of us.â Jasonâs eyes flicked to the screen, then back at Tim, his face a mask of fury. âShe lied to me. Sheâs been lying to all of us. And sheâs been trying to replace her.â His hand slammed onto the table, and the anger in his voice was unmistakable. âShe doesnât belong here. We trusted her. We all trusted her.â Jasonâs anger bubbled over. This betrayal, the way Tiffany had wormed her way into their lives, made him see red
He couldnât keep it in any longer. âI shouldâve known,â Jason spat, pacing in circles, his fists clenched tight at his sides. âI let her get close to me. I let her in, we all did! And now look at this. Sheâs been pretending to be everything sheâs not. Sheâs been trying to take her place, her rightful place in this family!â
Alfred, who had been silent until now, cleared his throat, his voice filled with quiet but growing fury. âI should have seen it,â he muttered, his gaze darkening. âI was too lenient with her. I allowed her to slip through the cracks, to play at being part of this family. I should have known better.â His usually calm demeanor was cracking, and the regret in his voice was palpable.
Bruceâs lips pressed into a thin line as the weight of Timâs words sank in. His eyes hardened as he stared at the screen, disappointment creeping into his features. Tiffany had been their guest, their supposed family, and this whole time, she had been playing them all. You had tried to warn them.
Duke, who had been standing quietly at the back of the room, spoke up. His voice was low but steady.
âI knew something was off,â Duke said, his eyes fixed on the screen. âI couldnât put my finger on it, but... sheâd been acting weird around me. Always asking questionsâasking about the family, the missions, everything. I thought I was paranoid.â
Damian had always been fiercely protective of what he considered his, no one could ever doubt that. He mocked you, saw you as his pathetic bastard older sister, he had wanted to hurt you. But now, as the reality of Tiffanyâs betrayal settled in, something darker began to take root inside him. He remember your unconditional love for him, how you took everything he said did to you with grace and compassion. He remembered how good you were to him. He noticed that everything he thought he loved about Tiffany was what she stole from you. His eyes burned with rage as he thought about how Tiffany had wormed her way into the family and his heart, how sheâd stolen your accomplishments, and how sheâd attempted to erase his sibling from the very fabric of their world.
She was trying to replace her. That thought alone made his fists tighten, nails biting into his palms.
It had been a long time since Damian had felt this kind of protective rage. He was the blood of the Wayne family, the one who deserved to be at the center of it all, but you; his blood sibling, his equal, had always been ignored, undervalued ridiculed and neglected. And now Tiffany, a mere interloper, had dared to manipulate and tear him away from you.
Damian watched the family, his gaze flicking to each of them as they tried to process the betrayal. The anger from his family was palpable, but there was something else there too: possessiveness. Protectiveness. regret. They werenât just angry at Tiffany for what she had done to you, they were furious at themselves for pushing you away and leaving you alone and unprotected in New York.
You were his responsibility, his blood, and no one; not even Tiffany, was going to steal you away from him. He had always wanted to prove his superiority to the others, but now that wasnât his focus. His attention was fixed solely on bringing you back to him, where you belonged.
Cass, who had been silently observing, nodded. Her face was unreadable, but the tension in her jaw told Tim that she, too, had been sensing something wrong for weeks.
Steph, ever the sharp observer, had her arms crossed over her chest, her usual sarcasm now tempered with a cold seriousness. âI knew she wasnât perfect, but this? This is next-level crazy. Are you sure bout this Time?â She leaned forward, her voice suddenly harder.
Barbra was too shocked to say anything. This was not how today was supposed to go.
Alfred glanced toward Bruce. âMaster Bruce,â he said softly, âthe level of infiltration, this is something I never anticipated. We should have seen the signs.â
Bruceâs expression was steely. âWe were too distracted, too willing to accept her presence as part of the family. We let our guard down.â
âThatâs not just her fault,â Dick interjected. âWeâve all been too trusting. Especially with everything that happened with (y/n).â His voice hardened as he glanced at the screen again, eyes flicking to Tim. âWhat now? What do we do about it?â
Tim stepped forward, his fingers hovering over the keyboard. âIâve already notified our allies. The information sheâs passed is enough to give this organization an upper hand in Gotham, maybe beyond. She hasn't revealed our identities but she might soon. we canât let her get away with it. Sheâs been playing us this whole time.â
Steph threw her hands up in exasperation. âSo what, we just let her go? Sheâs been lying to us, manipulating us for months! ?â
Timâs eyes were cold, calculating. âWeâll have to trap her. Use the information sheâs already stolen to set her up. Once we confront her, weâll make sure she doesnât get away.â
Bruceâs fists were clenched at his sides, his jaw set in stone. He had failed [Y/N]âhe had failed his child. The weight of that was too much for him to bear. âThis ends now. Weâre going to fix this.â
Ok yall since apparently 8 ppl think my work is absoulte shit and and SURE i knew how they felt this is pretty rushed and i feel like it sucks! anyway!! i hope at least some people enjoy <33 send in nice aks and questions and ideas pls. its so fun answering them. yall are mind readers and are so creative!! lmk if there's any typos bc I copy-pasted half of it from my notes app. yeah i did write half of this when i was supposed to be in class, and??? Next chapter Tiffany gets confronted, reader comes home, Batfam start groveling and regretting their actions, sort of on their way to yandere-ism and make reader move back to gotham to be closer to "family"
Older readere is like; *points at batfam* f you. *points at Harvey* f you. *points at Selina* you're cool. *points at Tiffany* and f you! I'm out! *throws mic at Tiffany, hitting her throat*

Anywayyyyyyy ya'll are gonna get fed w the Older AU! new chapter coming out tn! maybe two if i'm extra motivated! I'm feeling inspired bc my team just won the superbowl in my city (so glad I don't live in NOLA anymore. Superbowl traffic would've sucked) !!!! Love yall!

Damien: * stops sending pictures of him and Tiffany having âfamily timeâ together to reader*
reader: LMAO guess he finally found out!
nah fr LMAO
Hi! This is my very first ask but itâs for snake!reader. I feel like a lot of writers forget about it but reader could sign up for dual enrollment for both high school and college which would allow her to graduate and move out faster. Along with that comes internships, camps and all types of college programs for her to progress her career and get away from the Waynes quicker. But imagine this, instead of returning to the manor the reader has a conversation on the phone with Alfred
âYoung miss, do you need assistance with your travel back to the manor? I can arrange that at once-â
âI will not return to the manor, I have enrolled in dual enrollment classes for college.â
âAre you sure, young miss? Master Bruce and the others have been waiting for you to return for quite some time. Perhaps youâd like to reschedule that for next year-â
âDid you also have Julia reschedule her life around Bruceâs? Did she forgive you after you spent her life replacing her with a child not of your flesh or blood? Did she wish to see you?â
please forgive me for rambling, Iâm tipsyđđž Iâm pretty sure Julia is Alfredâs daughter that he abandoned to raise Bruce, mightâve forgot her name but the vibe is still there.
Ok so, I did dual enrollment too buttt reader can't leave because she's still underaged. Bruce can still legally make her live with him and tbh it's gotham and Bruce is a billionaire and owns basically all the city. I love the bit about Julia and Alfred tho! that's really creative. Maybe i could do a headcannon with this bc it's a rlly good idea! it just doesn't match the storyline i'm going for rn! Dw abt the rambling and congrats on ur first ask!!!!!
not really an ask but reader is so âyummyâ by ayesha coded its crazy !!!
- đ anon
YESSS reader is so ayesha coded its insane
HELLOW. Say I was to make fanart of âI bet on losing dogsâ⌠would there be a preference for how youâd like reader to be portrayed? Because youâve said that you just ignore a readers traits that donât fit you when you read x reader fanfics and actually same but I donât wanna be disrespectful and draw a skinnier reader when thatâs just straight up not ur intention or fucks with the story. Im acc making no sense but Iâve never drawn fanart for fanfictions before so this is new territory for me đđđ
Babe, the fact that you want to make fanart is enough to make my heart burst! draw reader however you wanttttt! i stand by what I said, unless its an ability, or even if it is tbh, if you don't like it just ignore it!!!
Sorry hate to bother you again lol but I imagine reader when she gets super angry her eyes change color and shape like an actual snake and maybe some fangs
I think itâs a fun idea, thank you for your time đ¤đ
(
Kinda like this is what I imagine lol )
okayyyyy I LOVE the fangs! The eyes are cool too but in the story, her eyes are more natural looking when they go snake mode. it's subtle, like her eyes will go dark green/blue and glint, her pupils will narrow but it's so subltly enchanting that the person won't know if it's a trick of the light or not! I also wrote that her eyes do this when seducing or charming someone but feel free to imagine it how ever you like :)))
Hi! I just read your fic I bet on losing dogs and it gave me an idea. If the reader goes down a more villainous route may I suggest having Killer Croc and Poison Ivy as their mentors. Killer Croc could help the reader get use to their new snake abilities while Poison Ivy could help reader with their venom and even give the reader ideas on how to use their venom for things.
ughhhh this is so so good!!! I already plan to have reader as a sort of hero/anti-her but maybe someday I'll get around to doing an AU with a full on villain reader! Maybe have reader become a member of the gotham city sirens and bond with them. I could really see her bonding with Selina over their mutual seductive nature and Selina taking on a role as her mentor. Honestly I could do a sort of big sister-little sister dynamic with them in the original plot line! And Ivy could help reader get control of her venom and learn to use it as a weapon. This just opened so many different thoughts for me!
