Summary

have them as a familyhave their assistance in stalking their human counterparts through the worst parts of Gotham late at night.It's totally fine and healthy and not an increasingly weird parasocial relationship at all.
...Just as long as the actual Bats never find out.

Summary
"Crap!" the food truck worker shrieks in alarm. "Don't hurt him, Superman, he's just a kid!"
Clark . . . pauses, then looks up from the kid that he is currently pinning into the street as said kid struggles underneath him.
"'Hurt him'?" he asks in reflexive confusion, and then realizes how batting a teenager around like a person-shaped cat toy and pinning him to the street hard enough to crack it probably actually looks to an outside observer.
. . . um.
Whoops.
"Um," he starts awkwardly, and then the kid slips his pin while he's distracted and throws his arms around his neck with a gleeful laugh and a bright grin.
"Dad!" he crows triumphantly, and hugs Clark harder than literally anyone has ever hugged him before.

Well, he knows Batman's secret, but that one isn't really his, he's just holding on to it.
Tim's secret is that he and his parents are wolf shifters, and they refuse to let anyone know about it. But it's fine. He can shove down his feelings and instincts that whisper that he's been abandoned and live a perfectly normal Bat-photographer life.
Except that there's a black market for shifters and the way home is longer than he had thought possible. -
