AHHH!!!! You write kid!fic like nobody's business! This is too good to be true! I adore your take on Bruce while his parents are still around, the way you manage to write him with such a quick and insightful mind but without making him sound old ... he still sounds exactly like a kid, just a really brilliant one. :D
I was loving his running commentary on life and Grown Ups throughout this entire fic. One of my favorite lines from his thoughts was this:
Grown Ups usually didn't mean what they said or meant other things instead and did things that got them further away from what they really wanted
Because it's so true, especially the last part. ^-^ This one was great, too:
Bruce didn't like Grown Up Parties food, but he tried to be polite and picked up a small brochette. Alfred taught him all kinds of names for Grown Up Party food, and Bruce thought it was all very silly. It was just food, and the names weren't even in English.
Eeee, so cute!
And I loved the part where he suddenly switched into thinking of himself as the Gray Ghost and he was sneaking around on a grand adventure but the grown-ups caught him. :( That was such a perfect kid moment.
Bruce looked at his shoes. No wonder his Father had heard him coming, these shoes were terribly noisy.
Oh noes! Not noisy shoes! Well, Bruce certainly remedies that when he grows up. =P He can sneak up on anybody now!
Ahhh, and the meeting with Alan Scott! Ahhhhhhh!!!!! I love how Bruce recognizes him immediately and how kind Alan is to him (although of course he would be ... he's Alan frickin' Scott! Woo!). What a wonderful surprise for Bruce at this party. :D And I wonder if they look back and reminisce about this once Bruce becomes Batman? ^-^
Anyway, this was totally awesome and put a huge grin on my face. :D

I am of the school that thinks that Bruce was remarkable even before the night his parents died and he would have been odd anyway. He has an understanding of human nature that he can't quite put to use because it makes little sense here, and that is still true for my grown up Bruce muse.
Names for food are so silly, I agree with Bruce. And his adventure as Gray Ghost, he insisted on it! hyperactive imagination, that's little Bee.
Alan was super nice, and I would have liked to play a bit more with them, but I was running already rather long, lol. I would love for them to reminiscence about this when Bruce is older! Bruce can't play super cool when Alan is around, Alan knew him when he was tiny and silly!
I'm super glad you liked this story, sis! It was one of my favorite ones to write :3
