While searching an abandoned PPDC base for a power source for Atlas Destroyer, Taylor and Hayley come across a mysterious child in a tube whom they end up taking along with them in their journey. The child, whom they come to refer to as "Boy", quickly comes to view the Travers siblings as his parental figures, in particular Hayley whom he comes to see as his mother.

* In the first book of ''Literature/TheWinternightTrilogy'', the father of main character Vasya makes the decision that he has to [[TheLostLenore get over the death of his first wife]] and find a woman who can act as a mother to his younger children, especially Vasya. Unfortunately for him, he goes to Moscow looking for a wife right around the time that his cousin the Grand Prince is looking to get rid of his mad daughter Anna, who is only a few years older than Vasya (Anna isn't actually mad, but gifted with the ability to see spirits and other creatures from classic Russian/Slavic myths that are [[InvisibleToNormals invisible to most people]]... and because Anna is fanatically devoted to the Orthodox Church, she believes the spirits are demons that are haunting her and reacts with constant terror to things nobody else can see), ''and'' a TurbulentPriest preaching in the city. The Prince solves these problems by all but forcing Vasya's father to accept a marriage to Anna (attempting to turn down such a marriage would have been a terrible mistake for a country boyar and a sure way to earn the Prince's wrath), and sending the priest in question off with them as his daughter's "personal spiritual councillor". Long story short, ''nobody'' winds up happy with this arrangement.

** The relative ages of Batman and his ComicBook/{{Robin}}s changes depending on the continuity, but in several versions Bruce Wayne was in his early twenties when he adopted a 10- to 12-year-old Dick Grayson, putting their ages only roughly a decade apart.
