Summary
When Bruce defeats his evil alternate self from another universe and takes the evil Batman's abused kids back to his home world, they have no idea what to expect from their new life (except for the worst).
They are about to find out - and also join in the Bats' investigations and hopefully heal a little. And maybe help the others find out some important things about themselves and each other.
Featuring lots of misunderstandings and angst - but also some fluffy comfort.
A continuation of DaisyBirb's Rock Bottom For Me.
Added fanart in chapter 38.Series

Summary
When Damian gets sent to Bruce by Talia, it is far from easy for him to make sense of his new family: the interactions seem so foreign, and the relationships are too tangled. Not to mention that there seem to be doubles of Bruce's sons, for some reason.
His own harsh and rather traumatic upbringing is not helping matters, and learning to be a son and a brother is not going to be a smooth journey (for anyone involved).
(This is the reworked version of an earlier draft with a slightly revised plot, more details, and additional POVs).
