Fics like Pseudo-Diegetic Narrative

Looking down, Bruce found a little boy staring up at him with big blue eyes. Rain weighed down his dark hair and dripped onto the shoulders of his unbuttoned yellow rain jacket, the t-shirt underneath quickly becoming soaked. On his feet were the smallest pair of green galoshes Bruce had ever seen. “Batman,” the boy said with wonder, clutching at the edge of his cape. “You’re really Batman.” “…I am.” The little boy held up his hands in the universal gesture for up. Glancing around, Bruce expected to find an adult not far behind, but he couldn’t see any parent-shaped figures nearby as actors ducked under umbrellas, camera crew reset their equipment, and PAs scrambled around the makeshift set. “Up,” the boy said, stretching up onto his tiptoes. Bruce picked him up. “I don’t see them,” the boy pouted. “I thought since you’re so tall I would see them from up here.” “Your parents?” “I was ‘posed to stay put, but I didn’t, and there’s a lot, a lot of tall people here.” “Mm.” “I know you are very busy fighting the bad guys,” the boy said seriously. “But you help people too, right?” “Yes.” Bruce’s chest tightened. “We’ll find them."
