Tim, in his moment of sleep deprivation, had an idea. He modified a roomba and armed it with bat gear.
Still in pajamas, he stepped out the manor, sets the roomba down and watches it heads towards the gate. "Be free my child" Tim mumbled. This was witnessed by a bewildered Duke from his bedroom window.
The following week, Batman is glaring down at Tim while holding the rooba in his hand. It terrorised the underworld to the point that Batman thought there was a new player in the city.
Bruce caught the rooba cornering a crying criminal in an alleyway. It hasn't even deployed a gadget, it's just there.

Headcanon that Dick's siblings (-Tim, he knows everything) have no idea that he has a new job every time, and think he's still a cop.
Like Dick every time they mention his police job and he says "I'm not a cop anymore, I'm..." and he names something different every time, they think he's lying.
Jason: Isn't it ironic? One brother is a cop and the other is a crime lord.
Dick: Although I'm not a police officer anymore, I'm a gym teacher.
Jason, thinking he's being sarcastic: Yeah, and I'm not a crime lord anymore as well.
Dick: Good for you.
Damian: Richard, why aren't you in the office? I thought this was your working hours.
Dick, who went to pick up Damian from school: Now I work in the afternoon and at night, I am a bartender.
Damian, doesn't believe him because Dick is Nightwing at night: hm...
Steph, on the phone : Dick, do you think you can get me some reports from the office? There's a case here in Gotham and I think it's spread to Blüdhaven, they probably have them there in the records.
Dick: Steph, I haven't been a police officer for months, but I'll see if I can get through an ex-colleague for you. I'll call you later, I'm in the middle of a photo shoot.
Steph: ok, thank uuuu.
Steph, hanging up the call: If he didn't could help me right now he could say so, there was no need to make up that excuse.
Cass: He might be in an undercover job right now.
Steph: Maybe you're right.
Duke simply refuses to talk to him anymore because he still thinks he's a cop.
Tim: You've been in this job for two months, I think that's a record. Do you like it?
Dick, hanging upside down in the cave: Something like that? I just don't know what I want to do now and I don't want to be unemployed until I decide.
Tim: Hmm... I don't think you want to be in an office again, do you?
Dick: I'm not going back to WE, once was enough for a lifetime.
Tim: Fair enough. Can I at least ask you for a photo shoot for a season to promote the new line?
Dick: Sure, it was fun being a model for a while.

The Dinosaur
Danny hadn't been a halfa for very long, honestly he was still figuring out the whole "ghost" thing. He decided to attempt exploring the zone, maybe making a map or something. The whole place was very confusing and he couldn't make heads or tails of any directions.
He felt something brush him from behind and turned around just in time to see the swirling green portal forming on top of him.
He felt frazzled after he came to. His limbs felt weird. They were heavy, disproportioned, and he seemed to have an extra one?? He also was most certainly not in the Zone anymore, there was a distinct lack of toxic-neon-green.
In fact, Danny could barely see any colors at all. The place he was in was dark, and damp, and lacking very much light. All signs pointed to him being in a cave, but there must have been an exit somewhere. After all, there were a couple of rays of light illuminating parts of the room.
He picked up his heavy limbs, a stark contrast to the weighlessness of intangibility, and started walking towards the light, albeit very slowly.
Before he could even get close he heard a squeak from down below.
"I thought B said the dinosaur was just a souvenir from an old case!"

Batman crack fic idea Janet Drake used to date Lady Shiva when she was in college, they break up when Janet marries Jack for social and money reasons.
Tim is born. When he's old enough the Drakes fuck off to do archeology and Janet hires a bunch of increasingly bizarre people who "owed her a favour ". There's a disgraced Russian ballerino, a mad chemist, the worlds best loclpicker, John Constantine, a black and white noire detective, some Welsh guy she found in the woods. Tim learns from all of them. Janet doesn't believe in public schools, so all of this is "homeschooling".
Flash forward, Tim is 11 Jack Drake dies on a dig in Australia, because a bird dropped a coconut on his head. Suddenly Tim has a new stepmum. Lady Shiva's nice, weirdly intense, but nothing he hasn't seen before. Janet takes over complete control of Drake industries, expands her business empire and destroyes her enemies with extreme prejudice. She teaches Tim all she knows about business. Shiva teaches him how to fight. Tim is happy he now has two mums who love and pay attention to him.
Stuff happens (I haven't figured out what yet) they find Cass and Tim gets a sister. Now, because this is DC and the children canonically yern for the streets (im thinking they're like 13 & 16 at this point), Cass and Tim become a new vigilante duo (I'm thinking Crows, one of tims nannies was an animal handler and he befriended all the crows in Gotham, they follow him around) and have perfected non verbal communication and creep out everybody with horror movie twin behaviour.
While sneaking around Gotham, they meet Steph, and she takes one look at them and decides that she likes Cass and that Tim needs to be bullied relentlessly. She is, of course, correct.
Meanwhile, Bruce is not having a good time, Jason is dead, and WE has competition for the first time in his life. He'd like to spiral into a pit of despair and find out who the new vigilantes are (and why are there so many birds?), but if he does that, Lucius will kill him or, worse, quit his job. So, instead, he and Dick are sent to therapy.
Jason comes back fully expecting to have to do a whole production out of this situation, takes one look at Bruce being forced to sit in a meeting with Janet and decides that he's fine actually, and why the fuck is Lady Shiva just hanging out at this gala with two kids hanging onto her?
By the time Damian is dropped off, everyone except for Bruce knows who the Crows are, Cass and Tim come over to hang out all the time. Damian is confused as to why The One Wo Sees All is in his father's house and how her brother manages to somehow be scarier than her. Damian does not like to be confused, so he still tries to kill Tim. This devolves into a roadrunner situation where Tim pulls out increasingly niche skills to get out of Damians traps. Later, this becomes enrichment for both of them.
When Tim is 15 and Cass 18, their mums decide they're old enough to be fine living with Bruce while they go off on their own adventures. Dick brings the Crows over to meet the Titans. He's told them about his cute baby siblings (Bruce is not the only one with an adoption problem). These children are not cute. They invoke fight or flight responses. Kon has one conversation with Tim, gets info dumped on, and falls in love immediately. He's finally found someone with an equal, if not greater, amount of weird, eclectic knowledge. Young Justice adventures are somehow even more bizarre than yj98. They are having the times of their lives.
Since Tim was never robin, Duke never started the We are Robin gang. But the Crows do have a cult, and he might be in it. His parents still get jokerised, and he starts living in Wayne manor proceeds to fit right in with the insanity (Bruce has given up on trying to control any of it).
The Justice League dreads whenever they have to meet with any of the younger Gotham vigilantes. Somehow, Jason ended up as the most almost well-adjusted one. He doesn't know how that happened either.

If you ask Bruce why his training routine is so regimented and heavy he'll tell you that it's because he needs to make sure his body is in peak condition to battle for justice or whatever the fuck-- and that was true when he was like. 19. But now? Yeah, no.
You wanna know the real reason he works out so much?
It's because he can't stand the idea of not being able to pick up any of his kids.
And Jason is getting REALLY heavy.
(side note, all the Batkids and occasionally BatSpouses [I'll be nice and keep this ship neutral lol] get a random text confirming how much they weigh at any given time and they're all totally used to it because that just means he's about to start working out and he needs to check to make sure everything is accurate.)

Ok so there comes a time in every relationship where your partner annoys you and then you have to decide if staying with them is worth it cuz you love them more than the person’s flaws? Now for the batboys, what normal annoying things from their partner do you think would annoy them? And on the flip side, what do you think the bat boys would do to annoy their partner without meaning too? (Example: One of the things about Dick is that he has organised mess and he gets incredibly stressed out if someone moves his stuff around without telling him. It’s as basic as his shoes being cleaned and placed a couple of feet in the open from where they were for him without telling him, he feels like an asshole and apologises after once he cools down, but this actually upsets him in canon comics.) (for example for reader: it can be he has an annoying sneeze that goes through you when you sit next to him)?
His Pet Peeve vs His Bad Habit
A/N: Ended up making this somewhat a two-part post since let's be real, all of them would be guilty with crashing unannounced which i posted here😂
Dick:
Pet peeve that you do: touching his stuff
Others have said he's terrible at putting things away, he simply calls it an organizational mess. It works for him so why should it matter to anyone else?
Can’t handle anyone moving his things. Absolutely, genuinely, no matter who it is
Called and texted you multiple times before over this whether it’s his shoes being placed a few inches away where he usually places them, his cereal boxes in the wrong order compared to how he usually has them placed
“Where are my keys? What? Why would you place them in my desk’s drawer? They belong on the couch-”
There are reasons why he placed things the way they are. It’s not hard to not touch and leave them be
Vents out his frustration and irritation but never to the point of crossing the line since you only move things when you’re helping him out with cleaning his place out especially if he neglects doing some house chores ( laundry, dishes, making his bed, everything)
Bad habit that annoys you: naming things after his vigilante code name
He’s known to be witty and charming with his word play, most of the time being cute or funny. But when it comes to naming, in general, it’s a mess
The name he gave to his boat, motorcycle, car, and weapons are of the following: boat wing, wing cycle, nightbird, wing dings. Yes, this is all canon and it should be telling how great his naming senses are
You swore and even made a bet against his friends that he was the one to give the name Bitewing to the cute pitbull. You later called Tim and Babs to express your disappointment towards them, saying they knew better
You tried not to shed a tear from how proud you were for Dick to name Bitewing with a reasonable and normal civilian name: Haley. It wasn’t Nugget or Gray - it was an actual memorable and good name
Begged him to not have the plane he planned to have either “night” or “wing”. No Wing Plane, no Night Flight, please. Something normal. He never listens and goes it for it in the end
Jason:
Pet peeve that you do: Incorrect grammar and messes
He’s special because he has two: incorrect grammar usage and his place being messy
Unlike Dick who hates people touching his stuff in general, Jason’s more keeping his space clean
Seriously, anyone who breaks into his room should know how meticulous he is, where even his weapons are hanging on the walls in fancy oak wood frames with red velvet cushioning underneath for aesthetics
He’s gentle but looks like a cherry when he reminds you to make sure you’re not leaving your laundry on the ground or used napkins on the table - like there’s a dirty hamper and trash can for a reason and it’s not for decoration
Irritates him to no end when people misuse words and grammar where he’ll annoy the other person until the correct it including you
Yes he will do the cliche can vs may (“Can you? As in are you able to? Or may you as in you need permission”), use asterisks below your text with the correct word because if it annoys you think about how he feels when you make those errors
Bad habit that annoys you: Messy eater
With him being a fan of eating hand-held foods, favorite being hot dogs and ice cream, he frequently gets food stains on his clothes
Slouches on his chair or couch, ketchup slipping off and onto his shirt and munching without a care while you’re staring at the guy who’s also a clean freak regarding his private space
Lost track how many shirts he ruined, annoying you and himself
Though sometimes it was appreciated when he’d get up and take off his shirt to wash out the fresh, new stain at the kitchen sink ;)
But most times you threaten to get him a bib or be those pretentious, stereotypical rich people where they stuff a corner of their napkin into their shirts while shaking the numerous shirts you had to wash in a single week
Tim:
Pet peeve that you do: not following directions
He already gets agitated and stressed when no one follows the plans he spent three weeks perfecting without sleep. What makes you think he won’t be the same when you don’t read the package inserts or the directions?
Most of the time everything goes smoothly when reading them. And do you know how much time it must’ve taken to write the instructions while considering all the people they’re selling their product to?
He does admit a some are BS and make no sense
Doesn’t express his annoyance and instead stays on the sidelines, slurping from his can of Monster and lets you do your own thing knowing you’re going to fail. Then once you do and get frustrated as to why nothing is working, he rubs it in how you should’ve read the instructions
“You sure that’s right? It says here you need to insert that part first.” “I know what I’m doing Tim, I’ve done it a thousand times.” Cue the Ikea frame falling. “Maybe you should’ve read the package insert.” “Shut up.”
Bad habit that annoys you: Napping locations
Where he takes his naps is just as bad as his caffeine consumption and lack of sleep in general
When he’s tired, like really tired, he can sleep anywhere. In the classroom, in the conference room, on the floor of the living room
You found him sleeping on the kitchen table once. As in his whole body lying on the table. How and why neither of you know other than Tim remembering he wanted to rest his head on the table
You’ve begged him so many times to nap on the bed or couch out of concern he was going to get hurt
He still doesn’t listen so you started a collection of taking pictures of the oddest places he sleeps at and on, proceeding by sending them to the group chat. It does work but only for a while since he’ll end up falling asleep after not sleeping for another whole week
Duke:
Pet peeve that you do: common sense
When leaving the room, turn the lights off. When done washing your hands, turn the faucet off. In other words, common sense
He really doesn’t get how it’s so hard to do just that. It should be natural, automatic response
After becoming a full time vigilantes, the bigger things he scratches up as the per usual daily problems but it’s the little things that get to him
Found you reading in the dark once without having the lights on before. He went on about vision impairment after flicking the switch up. He wasn’t amused when you joked how he could’ve sat next to you so you’d get both a reading lamp and body-sized pillow
Don’t get him started with dishes and how they should’ve been washed after a meal not leaving them in the sink for who knows how long
Also cereal. He believes it’s cereal first then milk, reasoning you can control the amount and ratio of cereal to milk
Bad habit that annoys you: biting pencils
Does it whenever he’s thinking about something deeply but can’t solve the issue
Whether it’s working on a plan, trying to figure out a case, doing homework
Problem is pencil paint isn’t all that healthy or safe to consume. Also having a pencil have smell like one’s breath isn’t that appealing
Doesn’t matter what part of the pencil though there seems to be actual indents near the eraser end which once made you asked if a pencil tastes good
You’ve gotten him mechanical pencils and eraser toppers. Somewhat worked only for him to go back using his usual wooden pencils and bite them again
Tries to stop after you went on how harmful biting pencils are, still finds himself doing it time-to-time
Damian:
Pet peeve you do: calling him short
Don’t ever bring it up. Don’t ever mention it. He. Is. Not. Short
Height is not everything when it comes to crime fighting. Skills, abilities, and strategy beats pure physical prowess
He’s not the shortest either. He’s still growing. Drake is only 5’7” at his current age while Todd was 4’6” when he was Robin. Being 5’4” is a perfectly, acceptable height
This also includes all synonyms and phrases. Tiny, small, fun sized. His personality coming from the fact shorter people are closer to hell-
He fumes and bursts whenever it happens. Literally will get ready wage a battle of a lifetime
Whenever you do it, he gives you hell by pranking you in every way until you wave the white flag and admit you’re wrong. Usually that never happens and the adults end up having to step in to get both of you two stop
Bad habit that annoys you: tongue clicking
Does it to express so many emotions, so it gets confusing as to why he clicked his tongue without the full context
It could be from annoyance, dissatisfaction, or disagreement. At least you know it’s used for a negative response
Not as bad when he does it because he got stumped since then you’re just smug and getting to gloat you were right while he scowls back
But when he does it to avoid answering you out right or when he refuses to agree- like come on, use your words not onomatopoeia
Ask him if he’s doing it because he’s sulking and it gets him to stop only for it happen again as it’s part of his habit
Cue another reason for a childish war between the two of you where one has to one-up the other

"Have you got everything you need?"
"Yes, Alfred...."
"Good."
Bruce walked towards the front door and was about to leave when he thought of something. He looked back into the house.
"Alfred?"
Alfred turned around in confusion.
"Yes, Master Bruce?"
"Would you.... Would you like to go with me this time?"
Alfred was shell-shocked.
"Are you.... Are you sure, Master Bruce?"
Bruce smiled and nodded.
"Yes, it's.... it's what my father would have wanted."
Alfred smiled.
"I'll go pack my things."
----
3 years later
Bruce sat at the dining table reading his newspaper when Alfred approached him."
"I noticed you haven't packed for the annual camping trip, Master Bruce. You haven't forgotten, have u?"
Alfred said as he set Bruce’s coffee on the table. Dick stops midway through his breakfast.
"What camping trip?"
Dick asked in confusion.
"No, Alfred, I haven't forgotten. I've just been too busy. And with Dick around, I think we should just skip it this year."
Bruce answered Alfred, ignoring Dick's confused glances.
"Why Master Bruce, you haven't missed a day, I don't think you should start now?"
Dick was getting increasingly annoyed, understandable as a 6-year-old.
"Missed what? What's going on?"
Bruce sighed.
"I'm busy. Besides, I can't exactly leave Dick alone in the manor. And before you suggest staying behind, you know I'm not letting you do that."
"Actually, I was going to suggest you bring the boy along this year."
Alfred nodded towards an excited Dick Grayson.
Before Bruce could protest, Dick jumped out of his seat in excitement.
"Yeah, camping trip!"
Dick exclaimed as he began jumping up and down.
Bruce frowned.
"I don't know...."
"It would be a good bonding experience for you and young master Richard."
Bruce looked thoughtful and sighed.
"Alright."
----
"Are you sure you don't want to come, Alfred?"
"No no, I have far too many chores to do. You boys enjoy yourselves."
Dick was excited. It was his first time going on a trip with Bruce since moving into the mansion. Bruce was so busy with work, they seldom had time to hang out and it often made Dick wonder why Bruce fostered him in the first place.
"So what exactly are we doing again?"
Dick asked, as they headed out.
Bruce sighed.
"When I was little, my dad would take me to hiking in the forest just north of the manor. We would camp the night and watch the sunrise in the morning."
Dick grinned.
"Sounds cool. I've never been camping before."
Bruce smiled fondly at the boy.
"When my parents died, I invited Alfred along with me. And it kind of became a tradition for me and Alfred."
Dick nodded. Bruce had told him a little about his parents' death, but he knew it was still a touchy subject.
"My dad promised to take me camping once."
Dick piped up.
Bruce looked at him with interest.
"But Haley's circus was always moving. We never even had a chance to visit the woods."
Bruce listened with interest. He patted the boy on his head. Alfred was right, this would be good for him and the boy.
Bruce suddenly stopped abruptly. Dick frowned in confusion.
"Why did we stop?"
But Bruce did not answer. Instead, he picked a pebble from the gravel floor. Dick looked on with interest.
"Choose a nice stone. You're gonna need it later."
Dick nodded and grabbed a pebble that caught his eye.
They continued on their hike and finally found a nice clearing.
"We're here. This is the campsite."
"Yes!"
Dick placed down his things. Bruce did the same, then took the pebble from his pocket and walked over to a corner where a pile of stones were gathered.
Dick followed him curiously.
Bruce took it a marker and handed it to him.
"Write your initials and place down the stone."
He placed down his own rock on a little pile of rocks labeled 'B.W.'
"Each time we come here, we place a rock until we make a little rock mountain. This is mine."
Then he pointed to a smaller stack beside his own labeled 'A.P.'
"This is Alfred's."
Then he gestured to the largest stack labeled 'T.W.'
"And this is my dad's."
Dick did as he was told and admired the other rock structures.
"Whoa. That's tall. Your dad must've come here often."
Bruce smiled.
"He used to come here all the time with his dad. N now I come here with you."
Dick registered the information, and a wide grin spread across his face.
"Thanks, Bruce."
"Anytime, son."
----
"Come on, Cass. You should come with us this year! It'll be fun!"
Duke persuaded.
Cass shook her head, stubbornly.
It was the annual camping trip. Bruce and the boys were all packed and ready to go. It was extra exciting, as it was Duke’s first trip with the family.
Steph placed an arm around Cass.
"Yeah, you're never going to convince her to come to your little 'Boy's trip'."
Dick chuckled.
"They're right, you know. We all tried."
Babs walked in.
"Plus, with the boys out of the house. Alfred lets us throw a little girls' night."
Duke looked at them, impressed.
"How'd you make Alfred agree to that?"
Steph shrugged.
"As long as we clean up after ourselves and keep the guest list to a minimum, Alfred sometimes even joins us for mani-pedis"
Dick grinned.
"Fair enough. Come on, let's make sure Tim isn't over-packing. Again."
Duke looked concerned.
"Again?"
Jason nodded.
"Yeah, last year he tried to bring 10 packs of instant coffee. Alfred caught him just in time."
Duke laughed at that. At the corner of his eye, he noticed Damian arguing with Bruce on bringing his pets along on the trip.
----
Duke felt a little silly carrying a pebble in his pocket, but the rest just gave him mysterious grins and said he'd find out later.
Finally, they reached a clearing. Duke began unpacking his things when he noticed the others gathered in a corner.
"What are you guys... doing?"
That's when he noticed the little rock structures with each of their initials. The boys grinned as they added a new rock to their structures.
Duke was still watching in amazement when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see Bruce smiling at him and handing him a marker.
"It's your turn, son."
Duke smiled and took the marker. He wrote 'D.T.' on his pebble and set it beside Damian's.
"Hey, Bruce! Your pile is almost high as your dad's!"
Jason commented, ruining the perfect moment.
-----
Note: I wrote this a while ago. It was inspired by something, I think it's a comic page. If anybody knows, please help. Thx.

Bruce can't wake up alone. AKA the batkids prefer sleeping in their dad's bed cuz of various reasons:
Dick started the trend cuz he was a little kid, he was scared, and he was desperate for the connections he had lost. The first time he found himself in Bruce's bed was after a nightmare. He had tugged on Bruce's sheets, sniffling and asking for any comfort the man could give. It was awkward and sad but eventually Dick would crawl into the bed and Bruce would instictivly hold him.
Then Jason showed up and filled that void that older Dick left when the boy grew into a man. Even more hesitant than before, but little sunshine Jason was so warm in his new dad's arms and Bruce was more than happy to shield him from the night. Post death/revival, those nights stopped. The bed was cold again and all those hours of trying to protect his little boy had been wasted.
Tim was different. He was a replacement, a coping mechanism, a mimicry of what Jason once was. Bruce had to be forcibly reminded that Tim was just a kid, too, a traumatized kid who wanted more than anything to be that perfect fit in his arms. When Bruce finally opened up again, Tim was more than happy to fall into his bed at night and feel safe in his embrace.
Damian took months before he willingly let Bruce touch him, let alone nighttime cuddles. Like with Dick, it was nightmares that pushed Damian into his fathers room. Relentless horrible dreams fueled by paranoia. Bruce's bed was his safe space after that, a place he could retreat to for queit and comfort away from his own fears.
Cass never fully expressed why she would climb into Bruce's bed, but it wasn't hard to imagine that a traumatized girl wanted someone to protect her. Even if it's hard to say out loud or even put on a page, warmth and safety is important to her and Bruce is the epitome of that to 90% of Gotham. Even if she's gone by morning, Bruce is glad she's doing what makes her comfortable.
Barbara never really needed Bruce, she has her own father she loves thank you very much, but post patrol sleed deprived delirium does a number on the body and so what if Bruce's bed is the biggest and the comfiest in the manor? Plus, Bruce is a massive heated pillow. He'll never argue with her or send her off because what's he's supposed to say to one of his kids? No? Absolutely not.
Stephanie's own dad wasn't too great of a dad, and Bruce isn't exactly perfect either, but she doesn't hate him. When guilt and anxiety get too much, when thoughts of what could have been swamp her, he's been pretty reliable. A dead asleep Bruce can't complain about her sleep habits anyways.
Sadly Duke is the only mainstream bat kid that i can't think of anything for. He just doesn't seen like the type to ever engage with Bruce as familial-ly as that. Perhaps I need to read more...

I love how they simply can’t fathom their father doing that. “What the HELL did you just say?!” The shocked face Duke has. Jason and Dick looking disgusted. Love this page

Inspired by this post - Jason and Duke having glowy eyes and freaking Bruce out
Bruce: Have kids, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. I thought I was gonna shit my pants.
Dick: But they’re so adorable, aren’t they?
Bruce: Unfortunately yes.
