Chapter Fifteen: Afterschool
The twins and Dario returned home without Domenico. Jason was out with Claudia, and Noemi was fast asleep, so Angelo was the only one awake to notice. âKitty, whereâs Dom?â Angelo asked. Katerina ran to her room, and Cecelia followed closely behind. Dario tried to run, and Angelo caught him. âOh no, you donât. Whereâs Domonic?âÂ
Dario frowned. âHeâs at your school,â Dario whispered. Angelo set Dario down before slipping on a jacket and shoes. âWhere are you going?âÂ
âTo get our brother. You stay here and wait for PapĂĄ. Donât tell him where we went⌠No matter what, scricciolo. Can I trust you?â Angelo asked. Dario didnât answer. âWhat am I saying? Dario, wash your hands and eat a popsicle.â Dario nodded and let Angelo leave. He ran down the street and past the gym until he reached his school.Â
Angelo stopped, leaning over and struggling for air while he looked for Domenico, and listened until he heard the sound of a struggle behind the gym. âDomenicoâ!â The older boy swung and hit Domenico in the nose, and Domenico staggered back, wiping the tears from his eyes.Â
âGo home!â Domenico shouted as he stood across from his opponent. The other boy stood nearly a foot taller than him. âGo home!â Domenico wiped the blood from his nose.Â
âStop it! What are you trying to prove by fighting him?â Angelo screamed despite his hoarse voice. âNico, donât touch him! Itâs me that you have a problem with!âÂ
Nico tried to take advantage of Angeloâs presence to strike Domenico in the face with his fist. Domenico stumbled backward, and Angelo moved forward until Domenico shook his head. âAre you going to throw a punch, or what?â Nico asked. Domenico shook his head at Angelo, and in the same breath, he punched the boy as hard as he could in the stomach and throat, climbed up the gate, and jumped on his back. Domenico wrapped his legs around Nicoâs neck until the older boy dropped.
âDom, thatâs enough!â Angelo screamed. Domenico got off Nicoâs shoulders and punched him out. Angelo grabbed Domenico, who leaned on him for support. âAre you okay? Letâs get out of here.âÂ
Angelo picked Domenico up and carried him to a bench near Giorgioâs. Angelo looked into Domenicoâs eyes. âAre you alright?â Angelo questioned.Â
âWhy do you care?â Domenico mumbled.Â
âDom, I didnât meanâ. I did mean it, but I didnât mean to hurt you when I said itâ.âÂ
âYou did⌠And I do understand. You donât think I get it?â Domenico snapped.
Angelo frowned. âIs that why you beat Nico up?â Angelo asked. Domenico shrugged as he wiped tears from his eyes. Angelo carried him home, and Jason swung the door open and took Domenico from Angelo.Â
âDom! What happened to your face?â Jason asked as he sat on the couch. Angelo grabbed the first aid kit, shining a light in Domenicoâs eyes. âWhat happened?âÂ
âI got in a fight,â Domenico mumbled. He bowed his head.Â
Noemi gasped when she saw Domenico and held his face in her hands. â My poor baby! What happened to you ?â Noemi asked.Â
âI got in a fight at Angeloâs school,â Domenico answered.Â
âWith aâ? Did you win?â Noemi asked.Â
âMia amata!â Jason exclaimed. âDid you?â Domenico nodded.Â
Noemi smiled with sad eyes. âWho was it?â Noemi asked.
âNico,â Domenico answered. Jason and Noemi exchanged glances before laughing. Angelo sat on the coffee table across from Domenico and cleaned his face.Â
âNo more fighting kids twice your size. Okay? Weâre gonna let this one slide,â Noemi replied. Jason nodded in agreeance.Â
âNothingâs broken⌠Iâve never seen you move so fast. Youâre gonna have to show me how to do that,â Angelo whispered. Domenico laughed before bursting into tears. Angelo hugged him. âDom, youâre the best. I know I donât tell you that enough. Iâm sorry.â Jason and Noemi slipped away to let them talk.Â
Domenico sobbed as he held onto Angelo. âI wanted to hurt him because he hurt you,â Domenico cried, âIâm sorry. I justâ. I want you to like me again.â He gasped in between sobs, and Angelo rubbed his back.Â
âI never stopped liking you. Youâre my little brother. I wouldnât be me without you⌠And now I owe you because I can tell everyone at school that Nico got beat up by a little kid,â Angelo chuckled. Domenico looked at Angelo with tears in his eyes and laughed. âYouâre the best.â Angelo took the ice pack and held it to Domenicoâs eye.Â
âMy head hurts,â Domenico whispered.Â
âMine too⌠Are you hungry?â Angelo asked. Domenico nodded. âpapĂĄ brought home some melon gazpacho. Iâll make you a bowl.âÂ
Domenico nodded. âI had to take those punches, so itâd look like a normal fight,â Domenico explained, âI want you to know Iâd never let a guy like that beat me up. I donât care how big he is.âÂ
Angelo laughed. âYouâre too smart for your own good. Are you sure you donât want to go to school with me?â Angelo asked. Domenico laughed, shaking his head.Â
âToo much science. Iâd be bored,â Domenico replied. Angelo stuck his tongue out at his brother. âAngelo?â Angelo took a ladle and spooned gazpacho into two bowls.Â
âWhen I get better, you can do your homework in my room like you used to,â Angelo whispered. Domenico smiled. Dario entered the living room with a popsicle and started crying once he saw Domenicoâs face.Â
âCome here, topino,â Domenico whispered, reaching for Dario. He scooped his younger brother up and squeezed him. âI won.â Dario frowned as he kissed Domenicoâs cheek. âHow are you today?âÂ
âPapĂĄ gave me an extra popsicle. I talked to a girl in my class. She made me a paper frog,â Dario whispered.Â
Domenico kissed his cheek. âTopino! Iâm so proud of you! Tell big brother,â Domenico replied. Dario let Domenico hold his paper frog as he hopped off Domenicoâs lap.Â
While Dario was distracted, Domenico crept to the twinsâ room. âI lived,â Domenico joked. Cecelia crossed her arms.Â
âYouâre going to get in trouble,â Cecelia muttered as she turned up her nose.Â
Katerina ran to him and punched his shoulder. âOww! I used that flying triangle thing you taught me,â Domenico answered.Â
âDid you win?â Katerina asked.Â
âKitty! Domâs about to get in trouble, and thatâs all you care about?â Cecelia questioned.Â
âDid you get enough momentum on your jump?â Katerina questioned. Domenico nodded.Â
âI won⌠And I didnât get in trouble,â Domenico replied as he tapped Ceceliaâs nose. âDonât be mad at me.âÂ
Jason knocked on the bedroom door. âShowers and homework,â Jason reminded softly. Cecelia high-fived Jason and took her pajamas to the bathroom. âThank you, Sheils.âÂ
âNo problem, PapĂĄ,â Cecelia answered.
âAnd stop teaching your brother how to kill people. I hear everything,â Jason whispered before kissing her cheek. âAlso, thank you for giving Claudia something to do today⌠And no more fights. Theyâll start noticing that you kids can do more than just box.â Domenico nodded. âYou okay?âÂ
âUh-huhâŚâ Jason gestured with a tilt of his head for Domenico to follow him. They sat in Domenico and Darioâs room on the floor. Jason pulled at one of Domenicoâs curls. âPapĂĄ, Iâm okayâ.â
âYou donât have to prove that you are who you are⌠Not to me⌠Not to anyone. Do you understand?â Jason asked.Â
âYes, Papå⌠Butâ. Well, how willâ? I donât want to be differentâ.â
âYouâre not. You look like me, fight like Katerina, act like Mamma⌠And youâre responsible like Angelo. If anyone knew you, theyâd see that youâre the same as your siblings in all the ways that matter,â Jason whispered. He lifted Domenicoâs chin with his knuckle and smiled. âYour brothers and sisters are crazy about you. Mamma and I adore you⌠You want a hug, donât you?â Domenico nodded.Â
Jason pulled him into his arms and took a deep breath. âI love you, PapĂĄ,â Domenico whispered.Â
âYouâre so much like me⌠Itâs scary. Do you know that? I want you to be better than me, though,â Jason replied.Â
âI canât do thatâ.âÂ
âThatâs where youâre wrong. You can do anything,â Jason smiled.

I love the idea of all the robins kinda being clones of each other with just a few differences and a concussed Bruce not being able to tell who heâs squinting at so he just says generic statements and avoids saying any names
Bruce (sitting at the breakfast table): so⌠howâs the weather⌠dick?
Jason (grinning): you do know Iâm gonna hold this against you for like, the next 2 months right
Bruce: (groans into his hands)
Bruce (walking into the living room): hey have you read through the files I gave you yesterday?
Dick: (confused cause he took a day off to surprise Bruce) ?
Bruce: so?
Dick: er⌠no?
Bruce: Dick?? What are you doing here?
Bruce (walks into the kitchen with a fresh concussion): Jason? I thought you were on a mission with the outlaws?
Tim: (frozen through mid fridge raid, having assumed they were past Bruce calling him Jason since yk. Heâs a shit brickhouse now and Tim is, well, obviously not): uh?
Bruce: *turns around and leaves*
Bruce: Oh hey Cass, when did you arrive from Babsâ?
Damian: (slowly turns around in the black hoodie heâs wearing) weâre not even the same gender
Bruce: (under his breath) yeah but the same height

Something something violence has always been the primary love language for Waynes, something something.
It breaks me that Bruce loves Jason so deeply, and Jason is so completely unaware of it. He comes to the conclusion that love is religion. You have to see to believe.
Iâm just thinking about Jason watching evidence of how wrecked Bruce is after his death. He stalks Batman, always, tracks down every movement and breath. He waits for the perfect moment to shoot.
Your father only dies once, after all.
That moment, mysteriously, doesnât come.
Jasonâs never been scared of Bruce. Fear, to him, is darkness and cold and a bleach white face laughing at him. Fear of Bruce not being there at all. Thatâs fear.
I need a scene where Jason, â Red Hood, â watches Batman pin down a mugger.
He doesnât know what that man says. Something about getting on him for not being there when Wayneâs boy got killed.
Heâs never been scared of Bruce.
But when he punches that man, over and over and over, when his throat makes those horrible sounds of gasping effort, animal and feral, heâs afraid. Afraid Bruce wonât stop.
Heâs about to jump in when another, smaller pair of feet runs up to the scene and Jesus Christ thatâs a kid â A kid wearing Jasonâs old uniform. Wrapping his arms around Batmanâs and clinging.
The man on the ground is motionless. If he didnât blink, Jason wouldnât know there was a face anymore.
But thatâs not the worst part.
The worst part is Bruce crying. Gasping, punched out noises, his hands drenched with red, squeezing the kid so close to him.
âMy baby. Oh my baby.â
#bruce wayne#jason todd#red hood#batman#your honor bruce being a loving father but suuuuch a dark figure of destruction when his kids are messed withâŚ.love that#jason will come to find out blood on your name isnât that favorable.#dc#dc comics#batdad#batfamily

Danny Kills the Joker AU
Danny is on the run in gotham, as you do in dpxdc fics. His parents are dead and he is trying to stay out of Vlad's custody. Gotham has plenty of ectoplasm to hide his ecto signature. It also has a high enough population of homeless people that no one would even notice Danny just showing up.
He's been living rough in gotham, mostly sticking to Crime Alley and The Narrows, sleeping in abandoned buildings or in relatively clean parts of the sewer system. He eats what he can find and does his best never to be seen.
Not good enough since he along with like 30 other street kids get picked up by joker goons and tied up. Joker is planning an explosive party for the city to watch and he needed guests. Joker literally set up bombs of joker gas around the city that will go off and send the entire city into pandemonium, killing millions. The only way to stop the bombs is to kill his guests (homeless kids from Crime Alley) which the city can vote on. Kill themselves or kill kids.
Danny is sitting at the edge of the group, listening as Joker televises his new plan to the entire city.
He really, really hates clowns.
He is also not gonna let this guy kill all of these kids. He may not be a hero anymore but those protection instincts didnt die with his parents.
And also fuck that clown.
He phases through his bonds, and then starts asking the various kids to borrow their hat, gloves, and scarf. Gotham street kids take one look at this out of town kid and mentally wish him luck while planning out his funeral. They keep on acting terrified because as stupid as this kid is being, they're not snitches either.
Danny puts on the borrowed clothes to hide his face and hair. He can't be identified, or Vlad is gonna be on his ass tomorrow. Once fully covered he gets up and into view of the camera. The Joker notices him, turns around to laugh and jeer at him. Probably shoot him for being impolite and interrupting him. Danny doesnt even pause just walks right up to the clown and coldcocks him.
Based on the sound of bones snapping Danny admits he might have punched a little too hard. Danny checks the Jokers pulse and immediately panics. Danny has Batman levels of fear around killing and he is panicking about becoming Dan.
"Holy Shit I killed him!" He says, to the entire city because the camera is still rolling.
Cue:
Danny running for his life, trying to hide away from his fear and guilt.
Red Hood becoming like his dad and drawing up mental adoption papers
Harley Quinn also drawing up adoption papers, paper ones, while Poison Ivy changes their home's 'no boys allowed' banner to 'son boy allowed'
Jokers goons trying to find Danny to kill him for killing their boss
City wide pandemonium as the jokers death is confirmed and people are partying in the streets, the mayor is planning on giving the street kid who did it the key to the fucking city
The batfam trying to find Danny to protect him from Jokers Goons (Bruce is third in line for custody not that he knows he is gonna have to fight both Harley and Jason for the honor)
The crime alley kids are still not snitching on the kid who saved them. Anyone who asks them about Danny only respond with 'what are you a cop? Fuck off pig'
Vlad Masters, as someone who has been punched by Danny, immediately recognizes the punch and flies to Gotham to find his wayward 'son'.
Vlad even meets with Brucie Wayne to ask for help in finding Danny. Bruce gets bad vibes from Vlad and is even more invested in finding Danny. The boy has dark hair, blue eyes, and a tragic orphan backstory. Its fate!
Danny meanwhile is hiding in some sewer somewhere breathing into a paper bag as he panics about becoming a world ending threat.

Ultimately the resolution of Jason and Cass fights comes down to the fact that while he has his own ideals that don't mesh with the bats, Jason can be flexible. DC skipped the whole reconciliation with the family but while he's willing to kill it's generally a means to an end to him, not the whole entire point unless you're talking about Joker. Meanwhile for Cass the question of killing vs not killing is dead serious to her which means any time they're working together and things start going off track it's like:
Jason: Look if we kill this guy we send a message to his boss which makes it easier for us to negotiate with him from a position of power and I just think that-
Cass, snatching one of his guns and pointing it at her own head: Go on, pull the trigger. Kill him. Kill me. Go tell Batman that you let his daughter die to make a negotiation easier. He already let you die so no problem right? You think we should die? You think our life only worthwhile as part of a plan, just because we're killers? Are we doomed? Are we rotten to the core with no hope of redemption? Go on then, kill us and kill part of your soul alongside it. You clearly don't care for it so why are you even trying? Kill yourself along with us, come on Jason let's all just die right?
Jason, slowly backing away: I think you may be projecting a tiny bit so just. Calm down before I call the suicide hotline please.
Cass, slowly lowering the gun and knocking the random henchman unconscious: Yeah that's what I thought, fucking pussy.
Jason: Mm yeah you know what I hate you actually. Fuck this mission I'll just shoot you right now if you're going to be this annoying about it.
Jason, explaining things later to Dick: So I just kept shooting at her until I ran out of bullets and we both calmed down enough to call a truce. We tracked the guy down and didn't kill anyone but I did blow up the batplane just as a last minute screw you. Is she always this uh... intense?
Dick: Yeah, one time I broke up with Barbara and she threw me out a window. She's just like that.
#dc#cassandra cain#jason todd#batfam#dc rambles#dick grayson#it's so funny how jason is like. a mass murderer. and yet he's more of a team player than cass#like yeah he's violent and unpredictable but if you're on the same team with the same temporary goal then you've got decent chances#meanwhile the entire team could be seconds away from dying with the only solution being to kill a guy with a bomb#and if you're on the team with cass she'll spend the last few seconds punching you in the face for trying to kill the evil guy#then disarming the bomb because she's just that annoying#I love her very much <3#i'm jason posting a lot recently sorry jtodd stans for clogging up his tag#I just like the thought of jason dealing with a mini bruce that has none of the baggage of being his dad#so it's just the experience of ramming his head into an annoying brick wall with zero catharsis of confronting your shitty father

i feel bad so im gonna post this shi from23(?)
explanation:
1. Bruce tries to reconnect with Jason. This comes a couple of years after Jason's return and a lot of events afterward. During another family holiday, Bruce finds Jason alone outside the manor and the one-sided conversation happens, during which Bruce says those words. Anger and resentment prevent Jason from answering anything.
2. Years later and AFTER ETHIOPIA (you know... this Damien arc). Bruce screwed up. Jason hated him for it, a lot happened and after a long time and a showdown they came to peace. Jason can see how tired Bruce is and he knows every word Bruce is going to say to him, he knows it all by heart. So one day, after another fight, Jason just says THIS back to him.
He hadn't said that since he was the kid Bruce carried in his arms. And they both know it.
That's it. :3
sorry my english is bad i know i just wanted to share this with you
#i think Bruce cried after this#and Jason would have to hug him awkwardly#i love them so much#I'm obsessed with Bruce as a father who doesn't do well#but he's trying and it's gonna be okay#dc#dc fanart#artists on tumblr#dc robin#fanart#batman#batfam#bruce wayne#jason todd#red hood#my art

Chapter Twenty-Four: Memory
Jason discreetly took Katerina, Domenico, and Angelo straight home. âWeâre leaving the country by boat at the end of the school year. Six weeks. I need the three of you to spend that time studying, training in the gym, and loading the boat with supplies. I want you to pack like weâre going on a trip, but I donât know how long weâll be gone. Pack Sheila, Darius, and Claudiaâs things. Do it quickly before they come home, and meet me at the car,â Jason explained.
Domenico left the room immediately without complaint. Katerina and Angelo complained about the abrupt choice until Jason raised a finger to his lips. âWe might not have to leave⌠If we go, itâll only be until itâs safe to return,â Jason explained, âI donât wanna be away from home any longer than we have to.â
Angelo and Katerina left, quietly obeying Jasonâs gentle command. Once they finished packing, Jason helped them load their bags into the car. He drove them to the docks, leading the children to the boat. They hid their bags below deck. Domenicoâs phone rang. âGo ahead. Itâs okay. Weâre done for today,â Jason whispered, âWeâll wait in the car.âÂ
**Â
Noemi went to the gym with Jason to spar. Noemi practiced throwing punches, and Jason playfully caught her wrist. âGiasone,â Noemi laughed. She looked into his eyes.Â
âI want you,â Jason whispered. Noemi grinned.Â
âYou want me?â Noemi whispered. Jason nodded, releasing her wrist and dropping to his knees. âFocus, Giasone.âÂ
âI canât,â Jason mumbled as he nuzzled against her open hand. Noemi lifted his chin.Â
Jason chuckled, reaching underneath her sweatshirt. He stood over her, resting his chin atop her head. âWhatâs on your mind?â Noemi asked. Jason frowned. âI knew it. What is it?âÂ
âThe children are upset⌠Rightfully, so. What if we have to uproot them? This has been our home for twenty-two years⌠Twenty-six years for you. Are you mad at me?â Jason questioned. Noemi held his face in her hands, turning his face toward hers. She clicked her tongue and stood on her tiptoes until he softened.Â
â You are home. This is simply a place we occupy together. My memories and my life⌠my children and my heart⌠Theyâre with you,â Noemi reassured him, âYou worry so much. The children are young. This is what they know⌠But nothing has to change. You havenât changed. I havenât changed. Theyâll be alright.â Jason took her hand, kissing her palm.Â
âTheyâll listen to you. Youâve always been gentler with wordsâ.â
âYou know⌠Thereâs one person who understands. I think he wants you to speak to him first. Heâs desperately seeking your approval,â Noemi whispered. Jason furrowed his brows.Â
âDom? But he knowsâ?âÂ
âDonât assume he knows anything. Talk to him and ask,â Noemi replied, âAnd Iâll talk to the others.â
**
Jason took Domenico on the train to visit Bari. â PapĂĄ, whatâs the matter ?â Domenico asked.Â
â We havenât had a day alone in a long time⌠You never complain. You justâ. I love you, Dom, â Jason smiled.Â
âI love you, too⌠But you didnât tell me where weâre going,â Domenico replied.
âYou used to like surprises, Dom. I think youâll like this one⌠I want to reward you for how patient youâve been with me,â Jason whispered. He messed up Domenicoâs hair. âYou are such a wonderful picture of what I couldâve been. I admire everything about you⌠And Iâ. I want your joy to be endless. I assumed you knew that, but Iâ. I should say it. Shouldnât I?âÂ
Domenico smiled with tears in his eyes and nodded. âWhatâs this all about, PapĂĄ?â Domenico asked.Â
âEmi brought it to my attention that I donât tell you Iâm proud of you. Monello, Iâm always proud of you. Youâre strong, youâre kind, youâre loyal⌠And youâre the most patient kid Iâve got. Iâm proud of all of you for so many reasons. I should say it more. I know I needed to hear it when I was young,â Jason replied. Domenico hugged him.Â
âStop. I donât want to cry on the train,â Domenico laughed. Jason smiled as he wrapped his arms around his son. The train stopped, and they got a ride to the stables. Domenico lit up when he heard Jason say it.Â
âI thought itâd be fun⌠We havenât gone horseback riding in a long time,â Jason whispered, âText Emi and tell her weâll be home late.âÂ
Domenico obeyed. âDo you remember when you took me to the stables for the first time? It was magic,â Domenico whispered. Jasonâs mind drifted to a memory, and he smiled with sad eyes. âAre you remembering something?â
âYeah, but Iâm not sad. Iâ? You make me remember what it felt like to be a kid,â Jason whispered, âEvery time one of you kids gets to sixteen I take a breath. Itâs a relief for me. Youâre all babies to me. It doesnât matter how old you all get, youâre all babies. My babies.â
Domenico showed Jason a picture. âI took this picture of you the last time we went. Here,â Domenico whispered as he gave Jason his phone. It was a picture of Jason on horseback with the sun behind him. âYouâre my hero, PapĂĄ.âÂ
Jason shed a tear and took a breath. âStop⌠Youâre gonna make me cry in the car,â Jason laughed.Â
**Â
Meanwhile, Noemi entertained Claudia and Dario by putting clay masks on their faces. â Could I interest either of you in some pasticciotti? â Noemi offered.Â
â Mamma? Can we have milk with it, too, please? â Claudia questioned. Noemi adjusted Claudiaâs cotton headscarf, making sure she didnât get clay in her hair.Â
Dario tugged on Noemi's dress. â Mamma, arenât you tired? â Dario questioned. Noemi shook her head.Â
â I love doing this. Youâre the only two that sit long enough to let me pamper you. Relax. Iâll bring your milk and pasticciotti. Stay put, â Noemi grinned. She walked to the kitchen and put two pastries on a plate and poured two glasses of milk. She fed them with a fork and knife before the timer went off. â If youâll excuse me, I need to wash your masks off. â Noemi carefully washed Claudiaâs face before Darioâs, and she applied a few small droplets of oil to their faces. She used her thumbs and palms to massage it into their little faces.Â
â Mamma, do you know when Dom will come home? â Dario questioned.Â
â Late. After dark, I think⌠Why? â Noemi asked.Â
âBenjaminâs here,â Dario whispered before the doorbell rang.Â
Claudia jumped up. âPlease, can I get it, Mamma?â Claudia asked. Noemi nodded, and Claudia rushed to the door.Â
âHi, sweet pea. Whereâs your brother?â Benjamin asked as he lifted her up.Â
âDomâs not here. PapĂĄ took him to Bari to ride horses. Do you want to come in? Mammaâs home, so we can have visitors,â Claudia offered. Benjamin set her down. âPlease?âÂ
âOkay⌠You look radiant by the way,â Benjamin smiled.Â
âMamma washed our faces!â Claudia exclaimed.Â
Benjamin nodded. âIs it just the three of you today?â Benjamin asked.Â
âMhm⌠Katerina and Cecelia went swimming,â Claudia answered.Â
âBenjamin, would you like a face mask?â Dario peeped. Noemi smiled at Benjamin and nodded.Â
âI could do one for you,â Noemi whispered. Benjamin nodded awkwardly. She grabbed the powder container and prepped it with water to make a clay mask. âHow is Signorina Ahmadi?âÂ
âMÄmÄn is fine. She umâ. She prolonged her trip, so I was sort of hoping I could stay here for a few days⌠But Iâ.âÂ
âOf course, you can stay here. Darius has been sleeping in Angelâs room for the past few days⌠It wonât be any trouble. Youâve stayed with us before. Itâs no trouble,â Noemi replied, âOh no, Benji, donât smile. Youâll crack your face.â
âOh, sorry, Dottore,â Benjamin replied.Â
âItâs okay. And call me Emi. Todayâs my day off. Youâre so formal. Iâm putting clay on your face. Everyone is always so serious,â Noemi chuckled.

Some Batfam Headcanons because the brain never stops;
Jason hates being called "Bruce's Son". But he hates it more when hes called "One of Wayne's Orphans/Wayne's child" because fuck you I'm his son-! wait no--
With the exception of Damian, they rarely refer to Bruce as "Dad/Father". Either it didn't occur to them/didn't see the need to/thought it would be strange. But when Dick/Jason/Tim/Cass are tired or injured it might slip out. And Bruce might just crumble a bit at it
Doesn't mean they don't say it to their siblings when Bruce is out of Earshot.
"Dad said you couldn't." "What do you mean Dad said I couldn't use that mug? It's my mug!" "You snooze you lose Timmy Boy-" "Jason don't be an asshole-"
That being said Bruce says "son/daughter/child" at every available opportunity he can after he knows that they have acclimated enough that they wouldn't be uncomfortable/know they can tell Bruce that they don't want to be called that.
First time Bruce called Dick "son" in a way that meant "You are my kid" and not in a "This police officer just called me son with a brow furrow" way Dick grinned and carried on with the conversation. Later he wondered if his dad wouldn't like someone else calling him Son; but Dick thinks about the life he was given because of Bruce and thinks maybe his dad wouldn't mind.
Calling Jason "son" is a hit or miss situation, even before he died. The first time it happened he was confused, he didnt think that was the relationship they had and it made everything change for him. He got frustrated--not angry--with himself and Bruce at this sudden emotional turmoil. Wasn't he just the kid Bruce picked up in an alleyway? Wasn't he just some street rat in bright Robin clothing? (He lets himself believe that he can be Bruce's son. If for only a little while).
Tim cries after Bruce is out of earshot, it would've been a year or so after his parents died and he was adopted. He didn't think he could have been wanted like that again. Even if you think the Drake's had A+ Parenting or not, I don't think he would have gotten a lot of confirmation of being wanted otherwise.
Cass smiles, emotions carefully concealed under her expression. She's grateful she found Bruce and he doesn't mention it if she leans a bit closer in a request for closeness.
Damian doesn't expect anything less, he only appears satisfied. But also relieved that he has gotten the confirmation that yes, Bruce wants and accepts him.
EDIT 10/11; hiii, i have added Duke, Steph & a Bonus in a reblog you can find on the same blog under my 'batfamily headcanons' / 'sore rambles' tag. have fun :)
#these are just my thoughts#they dont have to align with your own!#i am also trying to find a healthy balance between being emotional and being Angry for jason--#he wasnt the angry robin dammit! maybe emotional and a bit more physical but cmon#points at Dick 'Eldest Daughter Syndrome' Grayson#when dick gets older i would imagine that he would resent being called anything in relation to bruce#if its just for his angst phase when he first becomes nightwing or if hes dealing with his own identity/or going through a fight w bruce#i also find the father / son dynamic with dick & damian interesting so i might ponder on that a bit more#also giving tim insecurity issues about where he fits in with the batfam is important to my soul (i have problems)#sore rambles#lotuspowder rambles#batfam#dcu#bruce wayne#dick grayson#jason todd#tim drake#cassandra cain#damian wayne#batfam headcanons#dc headcanon#headcanon#batkids#batkids headcanon#HI IF YOURE LOOKI

Damian: Baba. Iâve acquired an enemy at the academy. Heâs been ripping my drawings, teasing me about my lineage, and smearing your honor. I understand murder canât happen. How shall I proceed?
Bruce: [Has a flashback of Thomas driving to his bullyâs house, spiked brass knuckles on his hands, petting his head and smiling dangerously, âIâll be right back, chum!â]
Bruce: âŚIâll talk to his parents.
Damian: Todd?
Jason: Finally, an excuse to tackle a 10 year old.
#bruce: nO-#damian: then what do you propose we do!!! this beast knows no peace!!!#bruce: we buy his fatherâs company and make him take an unpaid internship.#damian: father!!! that isâŚinhuman.

Stuck on the thought that Bruce tried to be a father for Dick, but Dick didnât want one. He wanted an equal, someone to fight crime with. And consequently, Bruce drove him away with his overbearing nature.
And then Jason came to him, and of course Bruce had to do better this time. He didnât want to lose another child Robin. Only he realized too late that Jason didnât just want to be Batmanâs partner, he wanted to be Bruceâs son.
((And with Tim he was too scared to even try))
Kay thanks sâcuse me while I go cry in a corner goddammit
#random thoughts#look I love the batfam#and I love Dick being the oldest and calling Bruce dad#but also he was an angry child that just lost the nicest family ever#of course he didnât want a new dad#and Bruce misunderstood#because emotions are HARD#and then Dick was gone and he was panicking with Jason because âOk Iâm gonna do everything better this time aroundâ#⌠only to have Ethiopia happen#urghhhh justâ-#Batdad#Bruce#give me caring Bruce Wayne#give me a father who wants to follow his children everywhere because he canât bear to lose more family#ghost talks#jason todd#batfamily#dick grayson#bruce wayne#batfam#Batman
