[wondersinwaynemanor]

you think the Wayne kids would try to get Bruce's attention all at once? one look among each other, they already know the plan and they want to be competitive about it.

like for an instance:

Bruce, in his study at the Manor, answering work emails when he hears the heavy footsteps of his children and loud voices from outside the door. he holds a breath, readying himself.

Damian, his sketchpad on his hand, opens the door: Father, no matter what they say, stay completely still. I'll work on a portrait of you.

Bruce, blinks, before offering a smile: Of course, son. Let me finish this email then I will-

before Damian can close the door, Jason barges in with a few car keys on his hands, almost hitting Damian in the process.

Damian, growls: Careless Imbecile.

Jason, grins and ruffles Damian's hair: Well, it's nice to know you love me, Dami.

Damian attempts to push Jason away from the table, but to no avail. Damian tts.

Jason, approaches the table with ease, lifting the sets of car keys: Hey, old man. I was thinking of going out tonight. What car should I take?

Damian: Don't let him, Father. He's a careless, clumsy, fowl excuse of a human being.

Jason tries to pinch Damian's cheeks before the younger boy moves away.

Bruce, blinks, before studying the keys: Anything, Jaylad. You're free to drive-

then Steph enters with a bag of chips on both of her hands, 3D glasses covering her eyes.

Steph, grins widely: Heya, B! Me and Cass are planning to watch Jurassic Park in the family room. Want to join us?

Cass also enters the room, 3D glasses perched on her nose, a gentle smile on her face.

Jason: So the others aren't invited, huh?

Bruce, blinks and smiles at the two girls: Surely after dinner, okay? Let's make it a family movie night. But first, I have to finish-

Damian, approaches Bruce's side: But Father, you already agreed that I will make a portrait of you.

Damian then looks at Steph and Cass: Traitors!

Steph, just grins even more: It might be too scary for you, Dami.

Damian, whines: I've seen it a couple of times!

Dick, enters the room next, smug smile on his face: You all better be talking about my charming personality.

Jason, rolls his eyes: Actually the exact opposite. We're talking about how annoying you are, Dickface.

Dick wraps an arm on Jason's shoulder, trapping him for a side hug: Awww Little Wing, you flatter me.

Jason pushes him away.

Steph and Cass giggle at the side of the room.

Dick, walks over to where Damian is, bringing him close to him as he faces Bruce: B, I need your help with a plan for the Titans' mission. I'm kind of doubtful about it.

Bruce, blinks and nods at his eldest: Sure, chum. I'll be down at the cave-

Cass, goes near Bruce this time, holding him by the arm: No, you said we watch.

Bruce, touches Cass' hand: Yes, sweetheart. Don't worry, all of us will watch, okay?

Damian, groans: That film can wait tomorrow night.

Steph: It has to be tonight.

Jason: I have plans with Roy tomorrow night.

Dick: I think I'll be off world tomorrow.

Duke, enters the room, a bright smile on his face: Hey, everyone. Hi Bruce, want to check out these new puzzle boards I got? Seems like you need a break.

everyone replies with something.

Bruce, pinches the bridge of his nose: Will everyone please not talk at once? Better yet, will everyone give me some peace first? I need to plan the rest of my day so I can be with each of you.

Tim is the last to enter the room, wearing a suit: B, I need you to come with me to Luthor's meeting. He's planning something and I need you to help me figure it out.

the rest of the Wayne kids erupt with different conversations.

Damian: I was here first. The rest of you can just go on with your lives without Father.

Jason: B, just tell me which car I should drive and I'll be off your shoulders.

Steph: You're not going anywhere after dinner, Bruce. We're watching the movie with and without the rest.

Cass: You already agreed.

Dick: So we're just going to ignore that I need help? This is an important mission. The world can be at stake here.

Duke: Well, I'm at stake here. Plus, Bruce needs to rest.

Tim: So we're just going to let Luthor do whatever he's about to do. We're better than this.

Bruce, stands up from his chair: Okay, okay. Everyone, just give me a few minutes and I'll let you know what happens next. Please, just... Please.

everyone grumbles under their breaths and leave the room.

Dick, speaks by the time they are away from the study: Is the bet still on?

Steph: I think I'm winning cus Cass is B's favorite and I agreed with her on the movie.

Jason: It's probably baby bat.

Tim: My money's on Duke.

Damian: Tt. That is just my family being idiotic.

Jon, rolling his eyes: That wasn’t a very nice thing to say.

Damian: I-

Jon: But! If you can be nice for two days, without scaring your family or making them think you’re trying to kill them, then I’ll admit you’re nice.

Damian: Tt. Easy.

Jon: And you can’t just interact with Dick!

Damian: …dammit.

-> Day 1 <-

Damian: Good morning Father. Pennyworth. Adoptive siblings.

Steph and Babs look at him expectantly.

Damian: …Close acquaintances.

Everyone is looking at Damian suspiciously, Bruce is oblivious.

Damian: I would like to invite you all to a family movie night this evening. I have used father’s credit card-

Bruce: Wait, what?

Damian: To buy prepackaged, un-tampered with snacks. I have also picked out one of the movies we all agree upon. Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. The movie begins at 8 o’clock sharp, but there will be a social at 7. I hope to see you all there.

Steph: Damian being nice? God this is ter-

Damian: No! This is not terrifying or scary or fear inducing in any way!

Steph: But-

Damian, trying desperately to distract her: Drake said you suck at Mario Kart!

Steph, putting Tim in a headlock: it’s on bird boy!

-> That Evening <-

The family watch Into the Spiderverse together. Steph and Tim have some bruises and cuts, the most notable is Tim’s black eye, from a very intense game of Mario Kart.

Jason, looking suspicious: Why is the demon being so nice? Is he going to ki-

Damian: FATHER SAID YOUR AIM COULD USE WORK!

Bruce: What?! No I-

Jason: Oh you think my aim needs work?

Jason starts violently pelting Bruce with popcorn. Alfred gives him a disapproving look, but doesn’t stop him.

Jason: I’ll clean it up after I make my point!

He continues attacking Bruce and Alfred just sighs.

Dick: At least you know he follows the “no guns in the Manor, unless it’s Alfred’s” rule.

-> After the Movie <-

Damian: Thank you all for an enjoyable evening. I will clean. You all may rest.

Duke: Why are you acting so weird? Is this some plot to-

Damian: Richard thinks that Love Actually is better than Princess Bride!

Duke, turning to Dick in horror: WHAT?!

-> The Next Day <-

Bruce (even after three showers) smells like popcorn, Tim and Steph are still covered in bruises, and Duke and Dick are screaming at each other about movies. Damian is cooking breakfast.

Babs, suspicious: Are you trying to po-

Damian “accidentally” spills milk on her laptop.

Babs: MY LAPTOP!!

Damian: Oops.

-> That Afternoon <-

Jon, Clark, and Conner come over and are chatting.

Jason: Yeah, just be careful Damian’s trying to-

Damian turns to Cass: Last week Todd pushed Drake off a building!

Cass gives Jason a death glare.

Jason: It was a joke!

Cass continues glaring and Jason runs, she follows him. Twenty minutes later they came back. Jason has a broken nose.

-> That Evening <-

Damian: There. I was nice to my siblings for two days and no one thought they were being threatened.

Jon: ...

Damian: Tt what? I completed your task.

Jon: You tricked your entire family into fighting eachother just so that they wouldn't accuse you of trying to murder them.

Damian: You never said that was against the rules.

Jon: It was implied. And I'm still not saying you're nice.

Damian: Dammit.

Batfam Reactions To Watching Avatar The Last Airbender

req: “Hi I was wondering if you could write the boys reactions to watching Avatar: The last airbender for the first time?” (anon)

YES! THIS IS TOO CUTE!

- long story short, Dami got hurt during patrol and to make sure he didn’t sneak out the entire family had to settle in for a movie night

- you made the epic recommendation to watch ATLA and yall basically binge watched it for a week while Dami healed, here are each of the boys reactions

Damian

- this mfer grumbled that it was stupid and gave Katara shit for being a bad waterbender at the beginning, especially the first episode

- he was hardcore crushing on her at the end specifically her fire nation outfit and that she learned how to blood bend, he’s a simp for powerful women what can i say

- during the first season he was pretty stoic and annoyed, blame it on the painkillers

- second season he was gettin’ into it, flinching with the epic fight scenes, calling himself the batfamily Toph, he let a rogue tear slip during leaves from the vine and no one noticed but you and Dick

- he got extra cuddles that night

- he lost his fucking shit during appas lost days- like full on screaming about appa and burrying his head in your chest while you quietly tell him appa will be okay

- he denies all of this too this day though (of course) but he loved it, and you’ll hear him humming leaves from the vine when he thinks his comm is off now on patrol

Cass

- she wasn’t really paying attention to the show at the beginning,  more soaking in the family bonding moment and spending each night sitting next to a different person to understand more about them

- she liked watching tim because he gets really into it but steph is also a fun watching buddy because her reactions are sooo intense it’s like watching a movie watch a movie

- a month after showing Cass she came up to you with all these epic fan canon ideas for the future or the past, talking about what the avatar state meant and spewing crazy little facts you thought no one noticed

- turns out it’s her comfort show now, she watches it to remind her of Jason’s shitty sex jokes, Dick’s screeches, you’re silent tears, Babs failed plot predictions, and everything else from the week were for one you were all just kids

Tim

- For some reason I just think Tim’s seen it before

- he’s your buddy for laughing at his sibling’s reactions when you both know what’s coming

- the giddy smile he gives you before Katara does the epic water frozen save on Azula or Aang yeets into the avatar state

- him and cass are your lore buddies, you’ve all got all these crazy awesome ideas about the plot and what-not

- Tim crushes on Zuko hardcore, like that scene where he throws off his robe Tim’s cheeks are completely flushed, eyes stuck to the screen and you’re dying laughing

- sometimes you’ll come into the batcave and tim will be working while ATLA plays in the background and you’ll both silently rewatch it together making little quips about a funny moment from when the family watched it together it’s all so wholesome

Steph:

- Steph is a Sokka simp and you can’t tell me otherwise

- she’d pass out when his hair is down and everyone would roll their eyes

- she’d buy a boomerang for patrol and bruce would give a hard no but you can find her throwing it at shrubbery when bruce is out

- She also thinks Tai Lee is adorable and deserves the world

- “EVERYONE SLEEPS ON THE NON BENDERS OKAY SUKI COULD GET IT”

- “steph you came into my room at 5am for this?”

- steph honestly just says the thoughts we all have, when watching she’s totally immersed and falls for all the jumps and scary moments- her and dick are constantly being told to shut up while you die laughing at their reactions

Jason:

- dick basically had to chain him to the couch to watch at the beginning, he’d claim he had better stuff to do but eventually he’d be the one dragging people to the couch for the next episode

- would develop a bromance with zuko in season three

- convinced he’s a firebender and plays with wayyy too many lighters for a week to bruce’s concern

- thinks Mai is hot as fuck but claims he wouldn’t date her “cuz bro code” with his new imaginary best friend

- Roy comes by actually asking if he can meet zuko that’s how much jason talks about him it’s so cute

Babs:

- she’d slip in and out of watching while doing research or helping bruce during patrol, so she’d always sit next to you while you refreshed her during the episodes she caught

- she’d think aang was adorable and would try to convince dami to shave his head and get an arrow tattoo cuz he’d be cute

- she’d be the one to bring everyone water and sandwiches from alfie when you’ve all been binging for hours

- everyone needs a babs when they do a 3 season binge in a week, everyone say thank you babs RIGHT NOW hehehe

Dick:

- he’d be the one who got everyone there and he’d love being surrounded by his family

- granted, it was painful at first, giving constant death glares to dami and jason when they tried to get up and trying to get you to reveal plot secrets while you giggle, but in the end he was loving it

- he’d be crying 24/7

- when Mai and Tai Lee attack Azula and give the speech about loving Zuko more than Mai feared Azula he’s be screeching “GO OFF QUEEN YEAH SIS” while everyone tells him to shut up

- he’s a cabbage man stan and I love him for it

- his favorite season was season 2 because he loves toph because she reminds him of his siblings and he likes bumi and is convinced he’ll be a bumi when he’s older even though everyone tells him he’s such an iroh

- Dick would look back fondly on that week, surrounded by family who wasn’t fighting and could each have their own personality highlighted while all being together, he’d forever be thankful you brought up the idea : )

Bruce:

- it was a tough week for bruce, he hadn’t actually been alone on patrol for a long time

- it made it all worth it when he got to tiredly plop onto the couch with his kids

- he wasn’t watching the show he was watching them, the way they were invested in the show but also still took the time to bond even if they didn’t quite know it

- he got the best sleep of his life that week, passed out on the couch while his kids cuddled him, his white noise was Tim screaming at Damian and Steph babbling about Sokka, it was truly perfect. They were his family : )

I hope you enjoyed!!! Love you!

✾ Summary: An intimate look through your and Damian's relationship. Requested! It’s been a hot bit since I wrote for Damian, so I hope this one is good!

↼❈⇁

First meeting

Dick was taking Damian to the circus

Add a long conversation and lots of "Yeah, Dami. I'm sure the animals are treated well-- Actually, animals aren't allowed in legal circus anymore. You don't have to worry."

They were watching the show, and Damian couldn’t believe that Grayson was so excited about clowns

Damian excused himself to get some food

Dick asked him to get a hotdog, but Damian will bring him popcorn #beaveg

Thing is, you and Damian arrived the food trunk at the same time

Which leaded to an argument

Y/N: I got here first!

Damian: You are not on the line!

Y/N: Because you almost ran over me!

You two kept going long enough for a worried Dick to show up

How to trust each other

You know when you've never seen a person before, but once you lay your eyes on them, you start seeing their face in every crowd?

That's basically you and Damian

How come you didn't know the idiot from the circus was also the Wayne guy that studied with you?

How he, with Talia and Batman's observation skills, never noticed you walking around Gotham's School and now he always caught a sight of you?

You and Damian quickly fall into a weird routine:

Glare each other during lunch

Rolls your eyes when the others was talking in class

Annoy each other whenever you had the chance

Jon teased him a lot

Talking about Superboy...

He seemed off in the morning and he hadn't showed up for lunch like he always did

Damian decided to look for his best friend

Surprisingly, he found Jon crying in your arms in the middle of the chemistry laboratory

You just looked at Damian and nodded for him to come in

Y/N: His parents had a big fight. I found him here alone and thought I could help. Since you are here, guess I'll go.

Damian: You can stay. I mean, Jon probably could use your emotional assistance.

Damian still finds you annoying (and so do you), but you helped his friend

He trust you... A bit

Recognize your feelings

Damian came to school one day. He is clearly hurt-- he couldn’t even walk straight

Jon remained quiet. He was there when the week's villain throw Damian against a wall as if he was a bag of potatoes

But you don't know about the Robin detail

Besides, you are sort of a trinity with them now

Therefore, you worry

And you ask

And you worry some more

It's been a few weeks since your friendship started. Damian trusts you, he really does, but not enough to tell you

Let's keep in mind that pretty much like Bruce, Damian isn't the best when it comes to expressing his feelings through anything but violence

So, he acts like an idiot

Y/N: Damian, come on. I'm not stupid enough to believe you’d fall hard enough to get yourself hurt like this. Talk to me.

Damian: Stop pushing your need to fix everything on me, Y/N. You are not my mother. Don't waste your worry on me, I don't need it.

You realized you liked him when you felt way more worried than you usually would

But Damian just noticed his cherish for you when you glared at him with evident hurt in your eyes and left the table

He just wanted you back, making silly jokes with Jon and stealing his fries

Kiss me, idiot

Two days

48 hours + 12 minutes since you two fought

A whole weekend

LISTEN, his life was going perfectly well before you came along

Now it seems like you opened a spot that's exactly your fit and put yourself there

Whenever you aren't around, Damian feels this weird sensation of missing

Jon convinces him into talking to you

As soon as he sees you in school, he does

Apologize becomes another argument (surprise, surprise)

Damian: Why do you care so much?!

Y/N: Because I like you, idiot!

Damian: You, you like me? As in--

Then you kiss him

Because, let's be clear, you'd end up kissing or punching him

Finding out he's Robin

It's the most stupid way possible

Like, for real

Last night, his Robin's duties kept Damian up until 5am

Instead of leaving his clothes inside the Batcave as usual, he just crumbled to his bed

The sun arrived and so did you

School project

While Damian was out to grab some books, you were studying his room

A picture of him and Jon. Some papers with Arabian words. A dog's bed. Robin suit. A sword

Wait, come back

A. Robin. Suit.

Damian Wayne was many things, but cosplayer certainly wasn't on the list

The pieces glued together fast

A rich family would make sense: Batman and Robin's instruments never looked cheap. Four Robins existed among the years, and Damian had 3 brothers. Not to mention that he'd show up with random scratches and never explain what happened. He was good with swords, and the current Robin had been seen with them a lot of times. Besides, Damian Wayne would never wear a costume willingly, much less keep one in his room

He walks inside the room to see you wearing his cape and mask

Y/N: Guess I'm robin' your persona, huh? Wanna tell me something?

Meeting the family

You come from a big family

Good thing because anybody else would be scared if they were in your shoes

MESS, MESS, MESS

Dick is smiling like a crazy all the time, and making dad jokes

Tim is teasing Damian by asking you to blink twice if you need saving

Jason is directly fighting Damian and calling him devil spawn

Bruce is quietly watching everyone with a subtle smile on his lips. He asks you a few questions, and occasionally asks the boys to behave before answering his phone and excusing himself

Babs, Steph and Cassandra come in later

Now the teasing is divided between you and Damian and Steph and Tim

You tease them a lot, blushing Tim is adorable

You are wearing purple boots, and Steph already loves you for that

Dick tells Babara about you being aware of the family secret

She offered to train you for some self-defense

YOU ACCEPTED, DUH. SHE IS THE BATGIRL!!

Cass is more quiet, but very friendly

Alfred was the first batfam member that you'd met, though (also your fav)

You try (key word being try) to help him in the kitchen

Batcow became your best friend, sorry Jon

You met the Titan family as well

Now you had munition to tease Dick as much as he teased you and Damian

Thank you, Kory

Also, Kor is a real life alien princess, how cool is that!?

Beast Boy is the funniest guy -- and now you are pretty sure you became a vegetarian because you can't eat animals after seeing his transformation

Raven reminds you of Cass

Donna is so powerful, and she knows so many languages!

You get along with his two families

Although Damian rolls his eyes a lot during y'all interaction, he is really happy

First kid

You and Damian are in university when it happens

You both know it's a big step

There's no turning back, you two will always be connected

Damian and you are now responsible, parents

Of the cutest bunny!

Yep, you insisted on naming him Robin

The first kid you both adopted together

Get on your knees for me

Damian isn't much of a romantic

You don't really mind

But when he proposes, it's the sweetest thing

You two had ordered some veggie food to celebrate the end of your finals

Finally a break!

Damian was holding you on the couch as you both watched one of your favorite movies when Robin, the bunny showed up

Y/N: Batbunny, just because we have vegan food, it doesn't mean you can get some. Go eat your lettuce.

Damian: Beloved, maybe you should see what he brought for you.

The bunny had a necklace wrapped around him!!

And the said necklace was attached to a ring!!

A FUCKING DIAMOND!?

Extra of love:

You became a vigilant for a bit before deciding how you truly wanted to help people

Besides charity, you became a lawyer specialized in cases of racism and immigration

Your and Damian's wedding was a mix of your culture and his

Maribat March Day 2: First Time and Day 3: Warmth

ao3

@maribatmarch-2k21 

Marinette al Ghul-Wayne spent the first ten years of her life in a League base. She was put through extremely rigorous training from the time when she could walk. She was occasionally visited by her mother. A woman she didn’t know much about. All she knew was her first name and that she spent most of her time in another League base. When she was four her mother held a test of sorts. She must have passed because afterwards, her mother joined her in her room and said that she was prepared to meet her Grandfather and Brother. Her Grandfather was Ra’s al Ghul as it turned out. It would have been nice to have some warning before meeting him. Her Brother on the other hand thought everyone was beneath him since he was the heir of Ra’s al Ghul. It had taken beating him in a spar where he had declared that he was going to do his best and prove that he was the better of the two, before they started for him to accept her as his twin. After that they spent most of their time together. When they were ten their mother left them with their Father. The first year after their arrival was nothing less than chaotic, with Jason and Father continuously arguing, Father getting lost in the time stream, Tim leaving to find Father, joining Richard and Damian on patrol as Sunbird.

Soon after Father’s return all the previous and current inhabitants of the Manor had returned during the Holidays. Cass arriving from Hong Kong a week before, Jason only coming after Alfred himself had told him that he would be expected at the Manor, Richard had come mid-week instead of on the weekend from Blüdhaven and Father had convinced Tim to move back to the Manor a few months after his return. Steph said she would drop by in the evening and join her mother for dinner while Babs was spending the day with her father and joining them for dinner.

Christmas morning dawns bright and cheery. Marinette meets the rest of the family as they head downstairs. There’s a large Christmas tree with so many gifts underneath it’s a miracle only Alfred could have managed. All of them are still in their pajamas, Damian and Marinette included. Alfred joins them, he however is in the same formal attire as ever. They settle down and start unwrapping their gifts, thanking each other and teasing each other mercilessly. Richard suddenly says, “look out the window, it’s snowing.”

Next to her Damian says, “tt, it’s just snow and feels like little pin pricks on your face either ways.”

“That’s only when it’s windy, plus it’s currently heavy snowfall and once it sets in in a couple of hours, we can go out and play,” Richard protests.

“I want Nette and Cass on my team,” Tim calls out.

Marinette only registers all of that in the back of her mind, having turned to look out the window when Richard says so. She watches the snow fall in white flakes mesmerised.

“What about you, pixie? You agree with the little demon?” Jason asked dragging her attention away from the snow falling outside.

She knew her siblings knew most of what had happened during her time in the League. Knew that as far as she had remembered she had spent all her time in just one League base. Maybe she had neglected to mention it was the one in the middle of the desert. Dami had spent time in Nanda Parbat while Marinette had not. Meaning Dami had seen snow while Marinette had not. She knew theoretically what it was, that was covered in her lessons but that was not what Jason was asking for.

“I haven’t ever seen snow before now,” she admitted and anyone who didn’t know her would think it was a casual comment but to people who did know her it was obvious she was almost worried to say that. Given that she was sitting in a room full of people who knew her the best and who also happened to be trained to read body language, she knew they would have figured it out instantly.

Richard, however just smiled and said, “we get to influence your decision than, it’s going to be so much fun.”

“She’s still on my team,” Tim added

“Team,” she said questioningly, “What are we going to need teams for?”

“Snowball fights, since Timbo’s taken you and Cass, it’s gonna be you three against me, Dickface and Demon Spawn. Bruce never joins. He’s allergic to fun.”

Father grunts.

Damian opens his mouth to retort but Alfred interrupts him, “If you wish to spend the rest of the morning arguing, I would not object but I do not think your breakfast would be extremely appetizing when cold.”

And as always when Alfred says something they listen and followed him to the dining room. There’s an impressive spread of food and Cass and Richard together convince Alfred to eat with them. Not that he joins in on the chaos that follows her and her siblings everywhere.

After breakfast, Father retreats to the study. The rest of them head to the Lounge. Marinette and Damian with their sketchbooks, Tim with his laptop and Jason with his book. Richard and Cass start a competition on who can stay in a hand stand the longest and rope Tim into measuring the time. Jason reads quietly while Damian and Marinette sketch with Alfred the cat and Titus on either side of the two. Steph and Babs eventually call to let them know neither of them will be able to make it to the Manor with all the snow outside. Eventually, the snow stops falling and Richard declares that it’s time to go out now.

They bundle up on coats and step out into the freshly fallen snow. It’s beautiful outside nothing but trees around and only the Drake Manor in the distance. She’s out for about two minutes before something cold hits her neck. She turns to see Richard and Dami creating a large pile of snow balls, Jason standing next to them looking her way and grinning, another snow ball in hand, “C’mon Pixie pop. We’re gonna win before you start otherwise.”

She catches sight of Tim and Cass, behind one of the snow-covered bushes, signalling for her to join them. As soon as she joins them Tim explains his plan of attack. Marinette catches on fast. They’re all running around and laughing but every single one of them intends to win. Then around fifteen minutes in Jason throws a snow ball at Richard and Chaos is unleashed. All alliances and teams dissolve and they’re just throwing snowballs randomly.

Alfred drags them in soon after that stating that they’ll catch colds and he is not going to look after six sick children. Her brothers immediately start to protest at being called children citing several reasons why they aren’t, Alfred continues on his path to the kitchen ignoring them, while Marinette and Cass just laugh at them.

Once in the kitchen Alfred tells them to change and be down in five minutes and that he’d have hot chocolate ready for them. They rush to their rooms to change and all of them come back in the next five minutes. Richard suggests that they bring Father out of his study and watch Christmas movies. Richard and Cass head of to convince Father while Marinette, Dami, Tim and Jason head to the media room to set things up. Jason dumps a pile of blankets on the floor and the couch. Tim starts the system and picks out a movie. Damian and Marinette bring out the junk food that they hide from Alfred to watch during movies, though Alfred is probably just letting them fool themselves to believe he doesn’t know about them. Nothing escapes him. Richard and Cass return with Father. They pile onto the couch and the blanket pile on the floor. Tim seizes the blanket pile on the floor and moves it near the couch so that he is near Father. Father’s sitting in the centre with Damian on one side and Cass on the other. Marinette was tucked into Cass and Jason is sitting on her other side. Richard is hugging Dami and holding him close. And then the movie starts and it’s Home Alone, which earns Tim several concerned glances which he ignores. They’re all watching and laughing and at some point Marinette falls asleep surrounded in the warmth.

1-Knitting

“Where’s Red Hood?” Nightwing asked as he landed on the roof of the building and looked over at the rest of the batfam.

    “He’s not coming.” Batman said as he crossed his arms and looked at Nightwing,

    “You’re late by the way.”

    “I know. I ran into some guys robbing a gas station.”

    “Hn”

    “Good talk B.” Nightwing chuckled and walked towards his brothers.

    “Good afternoon baby birdies.”

    “Hey, Dick.

    “Do you know where Jason is?”

    “He said he was taking the night off and that Bruce can fuck off.”

    “That gives me an idea!” Nightwing beamed at his siblings and then ran over to Bruce,

    “Hey! B! If Red Hood can take the night off then we should go visit him!”

    “No.”

    “Come on Bruce. You know how Jason gets when he’s alone.” Tim said as he leaned on his bo staff,

    “No. We have patrol.”

    “Father. We should go see Todd.”

    “Yeah B!” Stephanie said as she bounced up and down. Cass smiled and stood silently behind Steph. Bruce looked at each of his kids and sighed. He knew when he was outnumbered and when he lost. Because when it comes to his kids he really couldn’t tell them no. So away they went to Jason’s apartment. Somehow halfway there Dick and Steph turned it into a race, Dick won of course.

    “Soooo front door or window?”

    “The front door is for normal people.” Dick said with a smile.

    “Window it is.” Tim said as he pried the window to Jason’s apartment.

    “....Do you hear music?”

    “Jason’s listening to music.”

The family slowly crept into the apartment. Only one light was on and that was to the living room. They walked towards the living room and they each froze. Jason was sitting in a rocking chair humming along to the soft music that was playing through the radio with knitting needles. Was he knitting a sweater, oh my god he was. Dick put his hand on the wall but ended up knocking something off the wall. Jason jumped off of the rocking chair and looked behind him. Damian and Tim both covered their mouths to not laugh. Jason was wearing a fluffy pink sweater with a cartoonish red bat. 

Jason’s face turned a very bright red,

    “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!”

    “We came to visit you. Oh my god, you’re adorable in that!”

    “Please stop.” Jason sighed and looked away. Stephanie squealed as she grabbed something out of a basket.

    “It has my name on it!” Jason looked over to Stephanie and sighed.

    “I made it for you. I uh..made everyone something.” As soon as those words left his mouth Steph grabbed the basket and dumped everything on the floor,

    “Oh come on Steph!” She gave everyone whatever had their names on it. Dick had a pair of black and blue gloves, Damian had a green scarf that had the Wayne family crest, Tim had a red and black hat, Cass had a hat with tiny bat ears.

    “Aww, Jay! Where did you learn how to knit anyway?”

    “When I was in France with the league I met an old woman who didn’t have any family willing to visit her. So I stayed with her when I was able too. We talked and she should me how to knit. She said I was the best grandson she knew. She uh..died shortly after. So whenever I’m missing her I knit.”

    “I’m sorry Jason.”

    “Jaylad…”

    “I-It’s ok. I swear it is.” He was tackled by all of his family in a giant hug.

    “Guys...can’t...breath..” They let go of him slowly.

    “So. Got any stories about the lady?”

    “Cecile Bisset. She was the sweetest old lady.”  That whole night was full of Jason telling stories about Cecile and knitting a sweater. Once the sweater was done he handed it to Bruce.

    “There you are.” Bruce stared at the sweater and smiled. It was black with pink cuffs and had “Best Bat Dad” on it.

    “Happy early father’s day.”Bruce sat the sweater to the side and hugged Jason.

    “I love you son.”

    “Love you too dad.”

   

2-Horse Back riding

    “Soo. Jason ran off.” Bruce sighed loudly as he turned the chair to look at his kids.

    “Why?” Dick shrugged at Bruce’s response.

    “I don’t know. He said he needed to leave Gotham for a bit.” Bruce sighed again and grabbed his phone. He went into his contacts and called Clark.

    “Clark. Is Jason either over at your place or coming over?.... We’ll come by in about an hour.” Bruce sat his phone on the batcomputers desk.

    “He’s at Clark’s?” Tim asked as he sat down in his swivel office chair and spun himself around

    “He’s at the Kent’s place in Smallville.” Tim stopped spinning in the chair and looked at Bruce,

    “Why’s he at the Kent’s?”

    “I don’t know. But we are going to go see.”

    “Cool. Let’s follow the Red Hood and see what he does on the weekend.” Damian said as he looked over at Stephanie who was standing on the t-rex’s head as she played with the stuffed knitted bear that Jason made for her.

    “He knits on the weekends Dami!” She said with a smile.

    “Steph get off the t-rex.”

    “Sure B.”

    “So...shall we go get our wayward birdy?” Dick smiled as he looked around at his family, Tim sighed loudly and got off his chair.

    “Fine.” Dick rolled his eyes while Bruce tried not to smack his face with his palm.

    It took them twenty minutes to get on the road and towards Smallville. Bruce really needed to talk to Jason about running off without telling them. They worry about Jason, they’re scared he’ll get hurt while they aren’t there with him. When they reach the Kent’s farm, Clark was waiting for them outside the farmhouse. He smiled at the Wayne’s.

    “Hey, guys! How was the drive over?”

    “Where’s Jason?” Bruce ignored the question, he only wanted to see his son. Clark smiled,

    “He’s in the back with Ma and Pa. Come on.” He seemed eager to show them something. And when they got to the back they realized why. Jason was riding in a circle with a beautiful black horse. They could see a bright smile on his face. Ma Kent walked over to them and offered them some lemonade.

    “Good to see you boys again.” She smiled at them.

    “I didn’t know Jason could ride horses.”

    “He’s really good at it. Cause he can’t really take the horses to Gotham he keeps them here. Thanks, Ma.” Clark said as he took a glass of lemonade from his mom. Jason noticed them and smiled at them, he pulled on the horse’s reins making the horse stop. He got off the horse and handed the reins to Pa Kent who gladly took it. Jason walked over to them and crossed his arms with a playful smile.

    “What’s going on guys?”

    “You can ride horses too?”

    “Yep.”

    “Let me guess, someone taught you when you were traveling?”

    “Oh yeah. I stayed with a nice family in Mongolia. They taught me how to ride horses. They also showed me how to shear sheep.”

    “Jesus Jason. Anything else you can do that we don’t know?”

    “Eh probably. But I’ll let you figure it out later.” Jason said as he put his hands in his pocket. Damian was staring at the horse with wide eyes,

    “What’s his name?”

    “Shade.”

    “I love him.”

    “I know you do Dami.”

    “Father-”

    “No Damian.”

    “TT.”

The Waynes joined the Kent’s for dinner that night, when they finished dinner the Waynes headed to the car.

    “How did you get here Jay?” Tim asked as he opened the car door.

    “My bike.”

    “You wanna come with us? It’s late.”

    “I’ll be fine dad. I’ll see you guys at the manor?” Bruce nodded

    “Oh yeah. We still gotta do movie tonight.”

    “Damn. I forgot about that.”

    3-Hair Braiding

    “Ow! Dick be careful!” Stephanie winced as Dick pulled her hair.

    “Sorry, Steph! I’m not really good at braiding.”

    “You don’t say.”

Jason watched them from the doorway fixing his tie.

    “Move out of the way Dickie.” Jason all but pushed Dick away from Steph,

    “What are you doing Jay?” Stephanie asked Jason as he gathered the middle of her hair,

    “Your hair has bee brushed right?”

    “Of course.”

    “Good.”  Jason split the hair into three sections and crossed the right section under the middle one. He took a thin section of her hair and added it to the right section before crossing it under the middle one. He did the same thing with the left side and kept doing it until he reached the nape of Steph’s neck, when he got to her nape he did a standard braid and loosened the outer strands of the braid to make it seem fuller.

    “There.” Jason took a step back and looked at his work with a proud smile.

    “Oh my god! I love it!” Steph squealed happily as she turned and wrapped her arms around Jason in a hug.

    “Let me guess...traveling?” Dick said with a smirk. Jason laughed

    “Oh yeah. I stayed with a woman in the Netherlands who really liked to braid hair, she should me how to do it.”

    “Thank you so much, Jay!”

    “I’m glad you do Steph. I gotta finish getting ready for the Gala.” He turned around and walked out of the room leaving Steph and Dick to talk about her hairstyle.

    4-Makeup

Jason headed to his room after he left Steph and Dick when he overheard Tim and Cass,

    “I’m sorry Cass, I’m not really good at makeup that’s not...cover up.” Jason looked in Cass’s room. Cass was sitting in front of her vanity mirror while Tim was brushing her hair. Cass pouted a bit.

    “Need help with some make-up Cassy?” Tim and Cass looked over at Jason,

    “Yes.”

    “What look were you hoping for?” She pointed to a picture in a magazine. Red and yellow mixed eyeshadow, butterfly looking hairclips, and matte pink lipstick. Jason nodded and got to work. He blended the red and yellow eyeshadow in the middle to make it orange, he used eyeliner and mascara. Once he finished her eye makeup he put her matte pink lipstick,

    “And you’re done.” Cass smiled at the reflection and then hugged Jason,

    “Thank you.”

    “No problem Cassy.”

    “I’m not even gonna ask where you picked that up.”

    “Believe it or not. Talia showed me how to do makeup.”

    “I don’t believe it.” Tim said as he grabbed his suit jacket off of Cass’s dresser,

    “So, you ready for the Gala Jay?”

    “I guess.” With that, the three siblings walked downstairs to meet their dad for the Gala.

    5-Belly Dancing

Dick really never expected to find Jason in the dance studio as an instructor. A Belly Dancing instructor. Dick, Cass, Steph, Tim, and Damian watched from the class door watching as Jason told the class what they were going to do.

    “Firstly we are going to make a big outer hip circle.” He said as he moved his hips in a big circle,

    “Our pelvic region is gonna stay in neutral, as we push and shift our weight from toes, heels, and the edges of our feet. As you can see I’m pushing my hips in a nice big counter-clockwise circle and making sure I keep it all equal. How far I go forward is how far I go backward. It probably won’t come naturally to any of you, but why not give it a try.” Jason watched the class as they tried to copy Jason.

    “Heather, don’t sway your hips like that. Keep it natural not club dancing. Good job Keira. A tip is to try and keep your pant line even with the floor. Don’t tip a hip up. Keep your spine straight guys. Don’t bend and don’t go so big you lose your balance.” He said as he kept making his hips go in a circle.

    “....I think we should leave Jason to his class.”

    “...I’m having him teach me this.”

    “Dick no.”

    “Dick yes.” Tim grabbed Dicks’s ear and the siblings walked out of the dance studio and away from Jason. Tim needed bleach in his eyes to get rid of the image of Jason moving his hips like that. It was not something he ever wanted to see. From Damian’s reaction, he agrees with Tim.

+1-The family surprises him

Jason yawned as he made his way up to the main door to the manor, he didn’t bother to knock. He just pushed opened the door, he took one step in and saw his family all trying to belly dance.

    “What in the..”

    “Ah, Master Jason. Would you like some tea?” Alfred walked up to him with a tray of tea

    “W..what’s going on?” Jason asked as he looked in horror as Bruce tried to sway his hips,

    “It seems Master Dick wanted the family night to be used to learn Belly Dancing.”

    “...Can I go to the kitchen...I don’t need to see Bruce swaying his hips anymore…”

    “Of course.” Jason walked into the kitchen, for the second time that night he froze. Talia and Selina were sitting at the table drinking coffee and talking. Like friends.

    “He came from nowhere and said ‘I’m Batman.’ Like it was supposed to mean something to me at the time.” Selina said as she took a sip of her coffee. Talia laughed and looked over at Jason.

    “Habibi, come sit with us.” Jason smiled and walked over to the table and sat with the two women.

    “So, we’re talking shit about Bruce?”

    “Of course we are.”

How d’you think everyone’s favorite threesome in the Doctor!universe would spent Christmas? Or perhaps just Christmas Eve, if they go to the manor for the big day? -🐉

Aww, hi babe!

Hm, we’re going to talk a minute about Dr!Tim? You know, after a bit of thought, I think Tim’s first Christmas after finding a vigilante on his fire escape bleeding out would have probably started out awful. 

Let’s say he’s usually the one to work Christmas Eve and into Christmas Day whenever he could during his time learning under Tony Stark before he started his Residency in Gotham. 

He didn’t have Stephanie and Layla or anyone else but Tony, really, so it was fine for him to take shifts so people with families could be off with the ones they loved. 

Once he got to Gotham and met back up with Steph and pretty much became Uncle Timmy to Layla, he only took Christmas Eve or Christmas Day off when they weren’t out of town visiting with Steph’s mom. The years Layla’s dad has her, they run the Gauntlet together, and work until they’re sleep-deprived and delirious, laughing at crazy things while they stumble to Steph’s house to pass the fuck out for twelve hours or Tim’s penthouse to binge some boring nature show.

But last year Layla’s dad had her, so this year, his girls are off to Metropolis, waving at him out the back window. Steph offered a place for him, but he knows her mom’s place will be cramped as is, so he just watches them go with his heart in his throat, and no shift at Mercy General to keep him up and moving.

I think he spends Christmas Eve wearing the ugly sweater Layla got him, something crazy playing on Netflix completely un-Christmas related because he doesn’t really have good memories of the holiday, not even from when his parents were alive. 

(One year, Mrs. Mac stopped by to check on him and bring him cookies, gave him a hug and a pat on the head before she left to be with her daughter and grandchildren. When he was really young, he can remember laying on his mother’s lap with the tree glowing gently, opening presents with them there, watching and laughing. The next year, they were on a dig somewhere exotic, just like the year after and the year after that until they were just gone, never coming back this time...)

So, he plans to keep himself busy and ignore all the movies and decorations, ignore the warmth and family and togetherness. He’s going to bury himself in research and tech articles, write on one of his articles for a medical journal, maybe hang out in his lab down the hall for a few hours, just let Christmas–

–go on without him.

The knock on his window at three a.m. is jarring, shocking because the city has been silent for hours at this point. 

The second round is enough to make him stand up off the couch, wander closer to the window with squished brows, probably bleary eyed from staring at the screen for too long (probably also from those old memories rearing up). 

When he moves the curtains, and those whiteouts are right there, he eeps and almost falls on his ass.

The window is nudged up by a gloved hand, Nightwing hanging upside down with a Santa cap somehow staying on his head when he swings in without hesitation.

“Timmy! Are you okay?! Geeze, I’m sorry. I didn’t even think you’d be awake at this time of night.”

“Wazzat, Big Wing? Got Timmers with that old trick?” Hood is right on his heels, calves wrapped around the wrought iron fire escape, the Elf hat probably on the helmet with double-sided sticky tape. 

“Wh–?” Wide-eyed, looking from Nightwing to the Red Hood peeking in at him, he’s pretty much at a loss. 

“We came to see if you were home! You weren’t working at Mercy tonight.”

“Sides, it’s Christmas, ya feel me, Baby Bird?”

Hood tosses a small sack inside before he’s through the window just that fast, he and Big Wing offering hands down to their sometimes personal physician.

“Oh, I mean, I tried to sign up for a shift, but the Chief of Staff said I couldn’t work another double,” he shrugs and wearily lays his hands in gloved ones, imagining the warmth of palms against his, lets them pull him to his feet.

“Mmhm,” Hood hums as he and N pull their doc to his feet, looks him over critically. “Looks like ya been up long enough,” the free hand thumbs the dark circles under his eyes.

The doctor quirks a brow at them, “well, let me at least make you some coffee before you have to go back out in the cold. Does anyone in the class have any potentially fatal injuries you’d like to tell me about before I have a whole lot of unconscious vigilante on my couch?”

Both vigilantes obligingly hold up their hands and turn in small circles to show off no punctures in the suits or injuries he can see. Nightwing is grinning softly at him and Hood gives him a thumbs up in an all good here. 

They follow him to the kitchen, exchanging a glance after his back is turned, wondering where the Christmas Tree is, or decorations, at least. There’s only one sad little construction paper wreath on the end table by the door made by Layla, but that’s...it. 

Gauntlets and gloves come off, helmet and holsters on the back of a chair while the coffee perks and Tim moves around his kitchen, talking idly about doing some research before bed, fervently hoping they don’t ask him the hard questions.

But, of course, Tim doesn’t talk much about his past with anyone, not even Ives and Steph, prefers to just keep moving forward instead of looking back. He might be a little more compromised tonight than usual, and pours coffee with a slightly trembling hand.

It might be the night Nightwing and Hood start taking more of a shine to their doctor than they should, considering how close to danger he is just by helping them when the injuries are bad and they’re in a bind. It might be how he obviously has no one to be with on Christmas, how he doesn’t have anyone to celebrate with, to decorate for, to have presents wrapped up, or leftovers from a good dinner in his fridge. 

They’re detectives and the story is right there in every inch of the penthouse, in Tim’s awful sweater and pj pants, his slightly red eyes, the way he won’t really meet their eyes when they talk about the quiet night in the city because of the holiday. 

They stay with him until dawn, drinking coffee and juice, watching awful fails on YouTube, waiting until Tim’s finally tired enough to pass out on the couch between them. 

And dawn is just peeking on the horizon when Nightwing gently carries the doctor to bed, Hood pulling the sheets back, maybe lightly touching Tim’s hair before covering him back up. 

The two ease out of the room and close the door behind them.

When Tim wakes up the next night, Christmas Day will be over in a few hours, and he’s grateful because the world can finally go back to normal. Steph and Layla will be back, and the Gauntlet will be waiting for them to try saving Gotham in their own way. Nightwing and Hood will get beat-up fighting the good fight and at least come to him when they need to. Robin will still tt at him, Tony will visit soon to just remind Tim he’s making awful life choices. Lucas will ride his ass about how much he works and Ives will be his safe haven. The world will somehow balance out again. 

He won’t get stuck like this next year, just make sure he’s always on the schedule when his people have other places to go. 

But when he finally pulls himself out of bed, gets his feet under him to stumble in and try finding something to eat in his kitchen, his gaze falls on something sparkly sitting on his bedside table. Something vaguely square and wrapped in crazy black and yellow paper with little bat signals on them, the ribbons Robin red and green.

He’ll gasp softly, his heart leaping into his throat, blink once, and then blink again.

The package is still there.

He tentatively touch the box with trembling fingertips, pull it against his chest, hold on a little too tightly with his eyes wet and a laugh on his face at the utter absurdity of it.

But damn if it doesn’t give him the strength to get his legs under him, and fucking stand.

(Jay and Dick don’t find out until next year that Tim never opened the present, wanted to keep it just like that since he hadn’t gotten gifts from anyone but Steph, Layla, and Ives in years. It comes out the next year when they drag him to the Manor for a few hours before riding back to the penthouse to meet up with Steph and Layla, when there’s a massive tree decorated with stacks of presents underneath. When his place has lights strung up all around and cut-out snowflakes from Batgirl, when the ornaments are Nightwing blue and Robin red, Jay and Dick drug him to Hobby Lobby to pick out. When the special one with three snowmen labeled Dick, Jay, Tim is right in the middle surrounded by Layla’s nutcracker, Dami’s picture one from school, and Lian’s ballerina. Steph managed to get a few picture of the three of them together wearing Santa hats and the picture is framed on the end table. 

When they get home that night, cuddling on the sofa a year later, watching It’s a Wonderful Life and drinking eggnog Alfred sent with them, Jay will ask why he never used the little gift they left him last year. And Tim will get a little pink in the face when he admits he never opened it, he just put it away with his other good memories, not wanting to spoil the magic.

That earns him soft kisses and more cuddles since Dick is literally a cuddle machine, and Jay finds it so easy to fit their little boyfriend under his chin. 

They’re on either side of him when he finally brings the box after some digging, and pulls out the bow.

The small device fits in the palm of his hand, easily fits in his doctor’s bag.

“A comm, in case you ever needed to contact us,” Dick tells him with a kiss to his temple.

“We started takin’ a shine ta ya, Baby. Thought ya might use it when we don’t come ta ya, you feel me?”

“Oh,” and he has to clear his throat, his voice a little wavery, his eyes a little hot. “That’s...even back then?”

“Merry Christmas, Timmy,” Dick replies gently in answer, palming the back of his neck. 

“Merry Christmas, Sweets,” Jay’s deft fingers move the comm to thread their fingers together and hold on.

“Merry Christmas,” he chokes, face buried in Jay’s neck, squished between them while the lights from the tree glow and the warmth in his chest is so beautifully, perfectly fragile. 

It’s certainly the best Christmas ever.)

Not My Time

Part 4 of 4

Everyone who knew y/n held their breath. Seconds later y/n emerged from the pit gasping for air. y/n’s eyes were an emerald green when she merged then returned to her normal eye color after a bit.

Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian stared at their sister expecting her to lash out at them, but that didn’t happen. Instead, she just stood in the middle of the pit mumbling curses to herself. Talia looked at her son and his brothers then at y/n. She dismissed the guards and assassins and left the boys alone with their sister.

“y/n?” Damian called put. y/n slowly turned to face her brothers and looked at Damian.

“Umm, what’s up Dami?” y/n coughed as she staggered to land.

The boys sighed in relief when their sister didn’t start attacking them. Then they ran towards her and attacked her with hugs and apologies not caring that they were in the Lazarus Pit.

Talia stood by the door leading into the Lazarus Pit and waited for Bruce to show up. A couple minutes of waiting in silence Bruce showed up looking pissed and disappointed as always. He was halfway through the hall when his beloved children decided to show up. But of course, them being who they were, they were arguing about who would hang out with y/n and make sure she’s fine. Y/n was the first one to realize that their father was there. With them.

“Um, well… this is�� awkward.” y/n said as she avoided her fathers gaze. The boys stopped arguing and looked at their father.

“Surprise!” Dick exclaimed while pushing y/n to the front.

Bruce stared at his daughter thinking that this wasn’t real. He hesitantly made his way towards her. y/n shuffled past her brothers and Talia towards her father. They stopped a couple feet away from another and stared at each other. Before y/n could say anything her father hugged her tightly. As if she was going to disappear any minute.

“I thought I lost you, y/n,” he whispered into her shoulder as tears began to run down his face.

“I missed you too dad,” y/n said hugging him back.

While Bruce and y/n hugged, Jason, Tim, and Damian thanked Talia for bringing their sister back from the dead, but they also did threaten her. According to them, no one messes with their sisters. NO ONE. Dick, on the other hand, was wiping fake tears off his face and smiling like crazy. It wasn’t every day that the Batman cried and hugged someone. After y/n and Bruce stopped hugging Dick grabbed his brothers and ran towards the pair yelling, “GROUP HUG!”

“Okay, I love you guys and all… but… I’m having… trouble breathing,” y/n said.

“Oops sorry,” Dick apologized.

“TT. Grayson, sister, father, if you don’t mind, I would appreciate it if we could all go back home now,” Damian said.

Everyone excluding Talia agreed. It’s been a very long and exhausting day and all they wanted to do was eat food, and sleep.

I pulled back from the group and looked at Talia. She wouldn’t revive me from the goodness of her heart. Even if she did have one, why revive me? I made my way towards Talia and asked, “Why revive me?”

“I don’t like seeing my son suffer,” She replied. That seems like a good reason.

“Okay. Thanks for not letting Damian suffer, I guess.”

“Your welcome, y/n.”

I walked back towards my family and looked over my shoulder just to see no one. Assassins, I swear.

“Sooooo, can we go home?” I asked.

“Let’s go.”

The trip back home was longer than I expected. And it wasn’t peaceful. The boys wouldn’t stop arguing. They would argue over the smallest things. It’s ridiculous. But once we made it back to the cave their arguing got worse.

“Todd, Drake, Grayson, I’m staying with y/n!”

“Sure you are demon spawn!”

They spent several minutes like that arguing, and since they weren’t exactly quiet they caught a lot of attention.

“What the hell is going on in here!?!?” Stephanie shouted.

I let out a shriek and put my hand on my heart as the boys stopped arguing.

“Stephanie,” I began, “What we say about yelling or shouting in the cave?”

Steph just stared at me like she’d seen a ghost, and to be honest, it’s pretty funny seeing her like that. Kate, Cass, Bab’s, Duke, and Alfred ran to our location. To say they were surprised would be an understatement. I mean some of us have a reputation of not staying dead. Or alive. Which is a major problem.

“Uh, yeah, hi, I’m back,” I announced while awkwardly shifting in my place. They stayed silent for another three minutes before Cass and Steph ran towards me and hugged me tightly. Steph let go of me and pulled back just to smack me in the back of my head.

“Where the hell were you?!?!” She exclaimed as her eyes began to water.

“Let’s not worry about that come here,” I said while pulling her in for a hug.

Cass and Steph let me go and pulled me towards the rest of group. After lots of hugs, tears, explanations, and introductions (a/n: You guys haven’t met Duke until now.) we all went back upstairs to the living room to catch up on everything that has been going on and to watch Disney movies.

After everything that happened. You did manage to stop Kate from killing Karlo and you also managed to get Tim out of his coffee addiction and convince him to go to college.

With the Outlaw’s help, you guys managed to take down the human trafficking ring and return everyone to their homes safely. Jason also got revenge for you, but you don’t know. And he doesn’t plan on telling you anytime soon.

“Now what?” Bruce asked you.

You sighed and looked at your brothers playing fetch with Titus and Ace in the backyard.

“Honestly, I don’t know. I want to help Duke with his Signal duties but I also kinda want to give up the mask and live a normal life, but it sounds boring. And I don’t do boring dad.”

Bruce chuckled and ruffled your hair a little, “Well, whatever choice you make if you need something, I’m here.”

“I know.”

Whatever happens next is up to you.

[ravennhearted]

Hi i am such a big fan of your writing and #FallingTogether!! Damian and Tessa are so cute! I was wondering if you were willing to please write some Tessa x Batfam headcannons (also maybe Jon)? I want to understand her relationship with everyone a bit better. Additionally, i was wondering if you are going to make any other superhero cameos (maybe Colin or teen titans or young justice or justice league)? Thanks!

Alright so my head cannons for Tessa and the batfam. Let’s see how long this gets lol.

They all have a monthly movie night. This was a batfam tradition that was around before Tessa came along but after she and dami started dating they basically forced him to bring her and now she wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Cass claimed Tessa as her little sister after the first time they met and decided she’d maim anyone who hurt her

Steph, Babs, and Cass have already started planning Tessa and Damian’s wedding, and when dick found out he wholeheartedly joined them

Even tho they don’t talk a lot Tessa has a soft spot for Tim and tries to make sure he takes care of himself when she’s at the manor

Alfred and Tessa bake something every weekend, and when Jason’s at the manor he joins them (but those times end with a lot more mess and a lot more stolen cookie dough)

Tessa’s favorite spot in the manor is this little window seat in the corner of the library. If she ever needs some space away from the chaos that’s where she’ll go curl up until she’s ready to deal with them again

While Dick loves Tessa he’s the only one who’s still a little wary around her only because he’s very protective of Damian and doesn’t want to see him get hurt

After Jason and Tessa finish their shooting lessons he always takes her out to lunch/dinner

Jon and Tessa text all the time and bitch about the stupid shit Damian does

Cass will leave little presents at Tessa’s front door for her. They’re just little things Cass finds lying around or on patrol that she thinks Tessa will like. Tessa keeps all of them in a box under her bed

Jason wants to teach Tessa to ride a motorcycle but both Dick and Damian threatened to take his guns if he did (Cass thought it was an excellent idea)

Bruce, being the emotionally constipated person he is, rarely talks to Tessa, but he’s officially made the guest room she’s slept in hers and has slowly been changing it to what he thinks she’d like since she’d started dating Damian

Tim made a group chat with Tessa and all his siblings but Damian so she’d have a place to ask for help because they all know how stupid Damian can be

Jason and Cass gave Damian the shovel talk shortly after their identity were revealed to Tessa

Dick did the same thing to Tessa but in a weirdly friendly way and somehow made the two of them closer

Babs and Tessa can talk for hours if you get them on the same room. It doesn’t even matter what it’s about they just talk and talk and talk until someone forces them to stop

Cass is teaching Tessa sign language

The bat-siblings + Steph and Babs all have a tally going for which one of them Tessa likes best. They think they’re being secret about it but they’re not and Tessa uses it to her full advantage

Cass knows she’s the favorite tho and usually will sit back and laugh as her siblings scramble around for no reason

One the rare occasion that Damian’s sick or can’t go to school one of them will drive Tessa

Bruce offered to teach Tessa how to drive so now every Sunday they have their driving lessons and coffee dates

Damian was horrified when he found out and has been trying to stop it ever since

Tessa is his favorite person he’s had to teach to drive because she actually listens and doesn’t try to break the speed limit before they know how to break

Okay I think that’s all I have for right now lol. I hoe this helps and brings you guys happiness and that you can get behind these. Feel free to add your own headcannons below if you want.

[bluboothalassophile]

Hello Blu!!! Blu, I'd like to ask you, what if exist a flashpoint like in Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (in your mind/your point of view), for ex: What if Jason had been saved by Bruce, what would have change in this flashpoint paradox? What other things/people would have changed? What do you think of this? Sorry just a random question that came to me ^^ and i'd like to know your opinion! ^^

Hello,

In a flashpoint where Jason lives instead of dying… Alright, well, I’ve thought a lot about this. I even have a story on the parameters of if Jason had lived rather than dying, but that’s a bit closer to the Arkham Knight AU for what happened to Jay.

Anyways, B would save Jason, he wasn’t late, but Jason’s still in critical. I HC that B managed to save Jason but couldn’t save Shelia so that bitch dies in the very explosion she was meant to die in (a moment of silence as we mourn the bitch… okay back to business).

Jason is rushed into a hospital, coma, rehab, years of work to come back; because he’s not magic. Dick is now growing the fuck up and pulling his head out of his ass and trying to be a big brother to Jason as Jason struggles through PT. Alfred forces the family to see a shrink (JL or other), traumas are addressed rather than manifesting unhealthily. Alfred finally just had enough of this shit and said they would see a shrink; all because Jason’s brush with death scared decades off him, and B, and they both see the value now in maybe growing up and addressing the traumas. Also, B doesn’t blame Jay, especially not after he finds out about Sheila. 

They address Jason’s trust issues, inferiority feelings, how he felt when they isolated him and were going to take Robin away from him. Dick gets to talk about his needs to grow up, spread his wings, be himself, and address his anger issues and maybe they’ll also talk about his relationship with and his feelings about Jason and how Jason IS NOT his replacement. B never develops his god complex, because God Knows That Man Is Merely A Man! It’s fucking annoying too, B feels that.

I think that Dick and Jay work on becoming brothers through Jay’s PT, movie nights, Titans actually properly meet Jay, books, books, more books, and Jay might even get to go to that school dance he wanted to go to. Even if he’s pushed into the dance in a wheelchair. Dick’s Titans, Garth, Roy, Donna, Lilith, and Wally completely support Jason’s role as Robin now. Yes, Jason still is crushing on Donna, but she’s out of his league and she finds it sweet.

In that time, I think Tim finds the Waynes, and I think Tim and Jay bond; tight and fast, Dick’s actually stepping up to be a big brother. Tim becomes Robin, Jason focuses on PT; resentments about that situation are addressed and Jason doesn’t have that festering wound of being replaced. 

Tim is now the baby brother, and Dick and Jay adore him. They like teasing Tim, and drawing Tim out of his shell, maybe even doing normal brother shit, like beating up Tim’s bullies, rough housing with him, and even possibly formally telling Jack Drake to fuck off, Tim’s their baby brother. I think with that in mind, B legally goes about adopting Tim, and Tim is shocked at this news. They have a huge family dinner to make the announcement, and Tim cries like a baby in joy (No one will ever say anything about that, because Tim’s family).

Stephanie comes barrelling into the family (Jay’s starting to go back into the field; possibly under a different name, Red Bird, or Bluejay or something). Dick and Jason torture Tim about his crush on Stephanie, and they adore Stephanie. B tolerates her still, and maybe tries hard. Stephanie never becomes Robin, staying Spoiler, and she practically lives at the mansion. She trains with the boys, plays with them, and is never adopted because of Tim’s feelings for her, also B might like her but she’s so not his kid. Babs takes a real liking to Stephanie, and takes Steph under her wing, even presenting Batgirl to Stephanie when she’s older.

Yes, we still find Cass, or better Cass finds them, and she’s adopted by them. Babs is still Oracle. The Batfamily; whilst dysfunctional in different ways, is functioning, and they are recovering. B adores her; obviously and she’s his favorite child; the boys all know this and they adore her. The boys are also painfully aware that Cass can do no wrong in B’s eyes, and could probably get away with murder, they can never get away with anything.

Jason never clashes with Joker; and Joker is a quadriplegic, blind and mute after B is done with him. [I Know There are ways to incapacitate Joker without killing the fucker, so B can stay on his ‘No Kill’ rule and Joker is fucking gone from the depths of nightmares and on a painful trip to Hell]. Joker dwindles into nothing more than a nightmarish memory on Gotham’s psyche. 

Jay and Roy become BFFs during his PT and Roy’s recovery, and get into a shit ton of antics still. Jason never makes that first kill, but is still reckless, he even acquires the All-Blades; though no one knows how he accomplished that. Alfred is the one who teaches Jay to shoot, it’s a coping mechanism to make Jay feel some form of control and safety. No, he does not use guns on his patrols, opting to stick to B’s methods and the swords.

Jason becomes a Titan, on a team with Raven, Eddie Bloomberg, Conner Hawk, Kyle Rayner and Koriand’r on his team. Jason torments Dick about this when Kori crashes here and Dick’s tripping over his tongue and feet around her. Tim just finds it hilarious too.

Dick and Babs never work out, but they stay friends, and Dick eventually marries Kori. Babs and Kori are great friends, and have a girls weekend once a month (Babs is Mar’i and Jake’s aunt, Raven’s still their godmother and Wally their godfather).

B and Talia never get back together, instead their fall out is of epic proportions when B finds out about Damian. The Bats take Dami in without questions.

Damian still clashes violently with Tim, Jason beats Damian up though and Dick comforts Damian. Damian still bonds closest to Dick, while Tim and Jay both leave the demon spawn to Dick. Tim will never admit this but he totally slept in Jason’s room for the first year after Damian moved in; after that first night and he was violently woken up by Damian’s attempt to murder him. Jason is Tim’s favorite brother at that point.

They adopt Duke a year after Damian, Dick and Jason actually insist on this; with Cass’ help, and Duke is dragged into the lunacy of the Bats.

Cass and Stephanie are BFFs, and they work closely with Oracle, they are Orphan and Batgirl, and together all of Gotham’s criminals fear purple glitter bombs, and ass-kickings. The girls are the ones who stumble over Harper Row and her brother, Cullen, and they quickly accumulate Harper and Cullen into their little group. B has no idea what to think about this, but everyone knows he’ll never say no to Cass.

Tim becomes a Titan, on a team with Kon, Bart, Cassandra Sandsmark, Zachary Zatara, Tanya Spears.

Kate joins their ranks, but is not permitted her firearms, in fact, she is the biggest clashing force in the Bats with B. But B, and the family are firm on their No Killing policy and their No Fire Arms. In fact, this is almost a fall out for Kate and B until the Bats have to save Kate, and they kind of make it clear that if she’s in she’s all in exactly how they want. If not, she’s no Bat.

Luke joins into the Bats too, though that’s completely accidental as he’s only interested in saving his father at the time. But he kind of falls hard for Babs, and sticks around. He’s also the buffer for Tim when it comes to keeping his secret as Red Robin from Tammy, though Luke vastly disapproves of tihs. But neither of them want Tammy in the Batfamily world; it’s dangerous. Luke and Tim also save Tammy from Bane’s venom, with the aid of Stephanie when that rolls around.

B marries Cat. No heartache or heart break there, they are married, almost a year after what happened to Jason because they realize: Life Is Too Fucking Short.

Jason gets into Princeton, he’s always at the top of his class and involved with athletics and vigilant life. He’s not a lady’s man like Dick was before Kori, but he’s good with the ladies, and has a lot of girls who are his friends. He’s not Mr. Popular but the world has finally stopped comparing him to Dick. Jason’s time in Princeton is huge! The family is extremely proud of Jay and they are vocal in their pride, even being the dorky family cheering at his graduation. Jason did punch Dick for that, and caught Tim in a headlock as Stephanie glitter bombed them both for having a banner there. Cass has the photographic evidence of this. Damian just clicked his tongue in disapproval before Dick glitter  bombed him too. Duke was Cass’s perch for the glitter bombing so, he was safe from all glitter bombs. Over all though, it’s good times.

Jason later goes to Harvard to study medicine, which he’s really excelling at. He wants to be an ER doc, to help people shortly after their trauma, knowing the importance of quick actions after extensive damage.

Tim and Tammy get engaged. Tammy is furious when she finds out she engaged a Bat, but she’s mostly upset he didn’t trust her enough to say something.

Cass does become a ballerina, and still takes acting classes from Clayface.

Babs and Luke eloped; a weekend in Atlantic City neither of them really remember.

Tim and Tammy break up though when Tim moves to San Francisco to be with the Titans more.

Duke goes to Princeton after Jay, and meets Claire, they start dating.

Damian becomes a Titan, he’s on a team with Kaldur’ahm, Garfield, Wallace West, Jon Kent (for whom he is falling for almost painfully), Djinn and Emiko Queen.

Helena was born at some point, she’s adored and the center of the family’s eyes, even Damian fell for her. He’s also a sucker for Mar’i and Jake (though he’d soon eat glass than say that). 

Jason finds Terry and Matt, by accident after they lost their parents in a wreck and were at the hospital Jay. The DNA testing showed Terry and Matt were B’s kids, so he kind of brings them home. B goes off on Waller for this violation, and the using of his DNA to create the boys. 

Babs and Luke adopt Carrie Kelley and Nell Little, bringing them into the Bats when they can’t keep Carrie out of it.

Life continues on though, and they keep going. They are a family. They aren’t perfect, the Bats are far from perfect, they still have epic blow outs, and fights, also huge feuds but they are a family. They banned together after Jay’s near brush with death and didn’t travel down that morbid rabbit hole of self destruction and god complexes of inadequacy.

[camsthisky]

hc: when dick's really stressed he will literally last on an hour or two of sleep a night and neglect to eat like, real meals. i know ur as much of a sucker for dick grayson fluff as i am, i just love the idea of his sibs being like "youre so stupid how are you still alive, even tim eats power bars before patrol and catches catnaps when he's not working on something, why are you like this"

Anonymous asked: “It’s okay. I’m used to it.” with Dick please?

So, sorry I took a few days to get to this headcanon. I kind of ended up turning into a 3k+ story. Hope that’s okay. Also, this is more hurt/comfort than angst, I think. There’s some fluff right there in the middle, too.

Thanks to @timdrakeothy, because without you, I don’t know if I would have had the inspiration to continue this story. I was very stuck, and you helped out without even knowing it. So thanks!

Also, thank for 500 followers (it’s almost 600 now, but I meant to get a milestone fic out ages ago when I hit 500)!

Tim freezes, because he’d thoughthe’d just heard—that’s Dick’s voice coming from down the hallway. Which meansthat Dick is still awake. At four in the morning. After rough patrol that hadlasted hours longer than usual.

Well, that doesn’t spell anything good,Tim thinks, and he creeps down the hallway to peek into Dick’s bedroom throughthe small crack letting soft light spill into the hallway. Tim spots Dickimmediately, and he’s lying on the floor, one hand covering his eyes and theother holding his phone to his ear.

“No,”Dick says vehemently, but he’s really still and tense. He sounds exhausted,though, and his next words come out much softer than that first one. “No. I’mfine. Don’t—No, Wally. It’s okay. I’m used to it.”

Dick goes silent, and Tim imaginesthat Wally’s talking up a storm, even at four am. But then—

“Just—chill, Wally,” Dick says into the phone. “If you don’t stop yellingat me, I’m going to hang up. And then if you still want to yell at me you’llhave to find a way into the manor without Bruce finding out. So just—No. No.”

There’s a pause, and Tim thinksthat he should probably start moving. This doesn’t sound like a conversation hewants to be in the middle of. He’s just about to creep down the hallway againtowards his original destination—thekitchen, where he’d accidentally left his laptop—when another bedroom dooropens from behind him. Tim turns around just as Damian storms out, stompingdown the hall towards Tim.

“Whatis going on?” Damian hisses, doing that thing where he thinks he’s the boss ofeverything and Tim is obligated to answer him. But he looks—well. He looks kindof concerned, actually, and this is Dick.

“He and Wally are arguing aboutsomething,” Tim says, nodding towards Dick’s bedroom, where Dick’s conversationhad turned up a couple of notches. “I don’t think he’s tried to sleep tonight,yet, either.”

Damian shoots him a small glare,that Tim doesn’t think is really meant for him. “Grayson didn’t sleep lastnight, either. He was working on a case, he said. And he refused breakfast thismorning when Pennyworth tried to serve it to him.”

Tim blinks. And then he blinksagain, because he can’t believe it’s been so long that he’s forgotten this.Damian—Damian is probably new to this, Tim’s guessing. Dick didn’t have Bruce whilehe was Batman, so he’d probably tried to hide all of those bad habits he hadn’tcared too much about showing Tim. Plus, when Tim had been Robin, Dick hadn’tbeen living with Alfred full-time.

(Of course, Tim’s not really one totalk about bad habits, but at least he takesnaps.)

“What?” Damian asks lowly, darkeyes searching Tim’s face. “What do you know?”

“He—He does this sometimes,” Timsays, leaning against the wall and folding his arms over his chest. This isgoing to take some explaining. “He gets stressed, I guess, and he stops eatingand sleeping. He’s been in Blüdhaven for a while, so he’s probably fallenback into old habits, or whatever.”

Damian’s eyebrow furrow, and helooks—he looks really confused, soTim thinks he probably guessed right about Dick hiding this side of him fromDamian. Well, it was either that or Alfred kept it to a minimum.

“I don’t understand,” Damian tellshim.

Tim shrugs. “He just overworkshimself, and I don’t think he knows how to destress. Me and Alfred used to makehim back when I was Robin.”

“How,” Damian demands, standing upstraighter, a gleam in his eyes. “How do we make Grayson take care of himself?”

“You know I can hear you, right?” Dicksays, poking his head out of his bedroom and settling his gaze on Damian. He’sstill got the phone to his ear, and there’s some amusement sparkling in thosebaby blues, and a little bit in his expression, too, but there’s also darkcircles underneath his eyes that betray his exhaustion. Tim wonders just howlong Dick’s been stressing himself out if those circles are already thatshadowed. And why he hadn’t noticed. It looks like Dick hasn’t been gettingsleep for days.

Wally says something on the otherline. Tim can hear his rushed voice, but he can’t make any words. Dick rolls hiseyes, though. Doesn’t change the exhausted look he’s sporting, but it makes Timfeel a little lighter inside, because they haven’t reached the breaking pointquite yet.

And the breaking point is somethingthat Tim’s only seen once before. He still has chills just at the thought ofseeing his big brother basically shatter to pieces right before his eyes.

“Shut up, Wally,” Dick murmurs. “Iwasn’t talking to you. The baby birds are up.” Tim hears something like a “So are you!” from Wally that’s reallynot hard to pick out, because Wally’s reached screeching levels now. Dick sighsvery long-suffering like, and all he says in response is, “I’ll call you backin a couple hours. Go to sleep.”

And then he hangs up. Tim stares,because Dick Grayson has just hung up on his best friend. One he’s known longerthan probably both Tim and Damian combined.

Dick stares down Damian again. “Okay.Explanations? It’s four in the morning, and I know you have school in the morning, Damian.”

Damian scoffs. “Your inane prattlingwoke me up.”

Dick’s expression softens, and hiseyes go all mushy. “Oh. Sorry, Dami. I didn’t mean to—”

“It’s done,” Damian cuts him off,turning away from Dick and folding his arms.

Tim gets the impression that Damianregrets being harsh, but it’s hard to make that thought line up with the imagehe has for the kid in his head. Damian’s not someone he thinks he understands,yet. Too much rage and hate in one tiny little body, and yet. When Damian looksat Dick, it’s like he’s seeing his whole world right before his eyes.

Tim remembers that feeling, too.Before—well. Before Damian, he guesses.

“Right,” Dick says, a gentle,indulgent smile on his face, and Tim—not for the first time—wonders what thetwo of them went through together to be able to communicate like that. Wherethey realize each other’s feelings without really outright saying anything.

It reminds Tim of the way he and Dickused to be, too. Of course, on some level, Tim knows that that level of trustbetween them is still there, but it’s harder to get at now. There are issuesand unresolved problems that have been ignored in the face of getting back tonormal.

And neither Tim nor Dick has tried toattack those issues head on. There hasn’t really been time, considering Tim hadthought Dick was dead up until a couple of months ago.

“And you?” Dick asks, turning hisattention to Tim, a this better be goodexpression on his face, like he isn’t the biggest hypocrite to walk the earthright now.

Yeah, Tim doesn’t always sleep everynight, but at least he knows (mostly) when his body needs some kind of rest, and then Tim will crash. Conk out for a day ortwo. Dick just kind of keeps going until he falls. And even while he’s falling,he’ll still try to keep going at full throttle.

“I was going to get my laptop,” Timsays, still leaning against the wall. “It’s in the kitchen.”

Dick hums. “I think Alfred confiscatedit, actually. He said something about you staying up all night last night usingit.”

“Like you’re one to talk,” Tim says,and it’s harsh, but this needs to be stopped in its tracks. He usually wouldn’tintervene, but it doesn’t look like anyone else has even noticed. Hell, upuntil now, Tim hadn’t noticed. So whywould anyone else?

Although, he’d bet his skateboard thatBruce has definitely noticed and just hasn’t figured out how to deal with it,yet. Cass would have probably noticed, too, if she weren’t with Steph onanother mission.

Damian shoots Tim a glare, and Dick’sexpression twists into one of reluctance. “Tim—”

“Don’t you remember last time you letit get this bad?” Tim asks softly, fingers curling into his bicep. He stares atthe floor, because he’s not sure he can stand looking at Dick’s face and mixingup his current expression with the one from his memories. “That was terrifyingto watch, and I don’t want it to happen again.”

Dick sighs, and when Tim glances up,he’s leaning against the doorframe. It’s like all the resistance has left hisbody. He runs a hand down his face. “Sorry. I’m sorry, Tim. I’m just on edge.”

“Let’s watch a movie, then,” Damiansuggests. And Tim and Dick both immediately swing their gaze to Damian, and heshifts under the attention, but he doesn’t back down. He meets Dick’s gaze.“It’s what calms you down, correct?”

Dick looks uncertain, though. “Iguess that might work.”

Damian nods. “Then I’ll get Father.Drake, call Todd and tell him it’s urgent.” And before either Tim or Dick canmake it past their surprise and protest that, Damian has already disappeareddown the hallway and into Bruce’s room, like it’s nothing.

“Did that just happen?” Tim asksincredulously.

Dick huffs a short laugh, soundingalmost in awe of the thirteen year old. The best part, Tim thinks, is that thetightness to Dick’s shoulders have loosened, and he looks a little less woundup than before. It’s incredible what Damian can manage sometimes when it comesto Dick. Tim doesn’t think he’ll ever stop being surprised.

“I think so,” Dick says, and theamusement is back, too. “Better call Jason, or Dami’ll get mad.”

Tim makes a face. “I’m not callingJason at four in the morning to watch a movie.”

“I’ll do it, then,” Dick says, andthen, to Tim’s absolute disbelief, hedoes it. He has a full-on conversation with a barely coherent Red Hood overthe phone, and Dick stays cheerful the entire time. After he hangs up, he sendsTim a grin. “Jason’s on his way over.”

“Good,” Damian says, leading agrumpy looking Bruce down the hall towards them. “Now, we should get thetheatre set up.”

Dick gives Damian an easy grin anda lazy salute. “Sir, yes, sir.”

Damian throws Dick a glare. “I ambeing serious, Grayson.”

Dick’s grin turns cheeky. “So wasI. Lead on, Damian. You’re in charge of movie—well. It’s not really nightanymore, so I guess you’re in charge of movie morning.”

Bruce grunts his approval, and theyall kind of awkwardly shuffle downstairs to the home theatre and get settled.Damian and Dick argue over which Disney movie to watch, while Tim and Bruce arecharged with popping popcorn. Tim knows the smell of it will probably attractAlfred, but he’s not sure Alfred will really mind all that much once he hearsof the circumstances.

While waiting for the popcorn,Bruce turns to Tim, looking a bit more awake now. “Care to tell me what thisimpromptu movie day is about?”

Tim slumps a little. “Dick’sstressed. But it was Damian’s idea.”

Bruce hums in contemplation. “Iknew about Dick, and I’m not surprised about Damian, but where do you end up inall of this.”

“I heard him talking to Wally.”It’s easier not to look straight at Bruce, so he stares at the hand Bruce haslaid on the counter next to him. “I thought it was just an argument, but hehasn’t been eating or sleeping again.”

Bruce lets out a heavy breath.“Tim.”

“What.”

“This isn’t your fault.”

Tim hunches his shoulders a bit. Heknows that Dick being on edge isn’teven remotely related to him. It’s probably something to do with a case or oneof his friends, based on the fact that he was talking to Wally, but, still, “I should have noticed sooner,” Tim says. “Iknow he likes to pretend like nothing’s wrong when he’s hurting, but I stillshould have at least known that somethingwas off.”

“You’ve been busy, too,” Brucesays. “You can’t shoulder your well-being aswell as Dick’s. There’s no possible way.”

“You do it,” Tim murmurs, finallylooking up. “You find a way to look out for us somehow.”

Bruce grimaces. “Not as well as Iprobably should. Besides, you’re my kids, Tim. You’re my sons, and there’s noway I’m not going to put you above me.”

“Dick puts us all above himself,”Tim says, sagging into the counter.

He’s exhausted. There are so manyissues. This family is so dysfunctional,but somehow, they seem to stay afloat. Not without weathering a few storms,though. And rough ones, at that. And Dick. Dick always seems to hold the weightof the world on his shoulders, and Tim doesn’t understand how he holds thatweight and his family’s well-being.

Maybe, Tim thinks, that’s whymoments like this happen. Maybe that’s why Dick’s so worn down, now.

“He does,” Bruce agrees. “Maybe heshouldn’t, but he does. And there’s no stopping him.”

The microwave beeps, and Tim knowsthat whatever that moment had been with Bruce is over now. Bruce takes the popcornout of the microwave, and Tim goes to walk out of the kitchen, but Bruce’s handon his shoulder stops him. Bruce squeezes it, pulls, and Tim relaxes into thesmall hug Bruce drags him into.

“Thanks,” Tim says, his voice smalland soft as he pulls away. Bruce nods, and they head back into the theatre.

Tim raises his eyebrows at what hesees when he and Bruce enter. The chairs have all been pushed to the side inlieu of a nest of blankets and pillows big enough for ten people that Dick andDamian are settled into. Bruce doesn’t question it, and Tim exasperatedlyfollows Bruce into the nest.

“When’s Jason getting here?” Bruceasks as he settles on the floor next to Dick.

Dick shrugs and leans into Bruce’scomfort when the man throws an arm around his son. “He wasn’t too happy Icalled him, but he said he’d come over anyways. Though, I think his reason wasbecause—”

“I wanna laugh at the Demon Brat’sfirst reaction to a Disney movie,” Jason cuts in, still in his leather jacketand jeans, unlike the other four, who are dressed in sweats and pajamas. Heplops down in the nest next to Tim anyways. Well, Tim finds he actually doesn’tmind.

Damian scowls. “I don’t understandwhat would be ‘funny’ about my reaction.”

Jason grins, and it’s almost sharklike. Predatory. “Your reaction to school was pretty damn funny, so I’ve takento being there to see some of your other ones. Steph’s been recording what shecan.”

Damian narrows his eyes. “Is thatwhy Brown held a camera in front of my face when she took me to the shoppingcenter?”

“Yep,” Jason says, popping his ‘p’.“She gave me the full footage of every reaction you had to the ‘disgusting peasants.’”

“They were fishing for coins inthat fountain,” Damian snaps.

Jason shrugs. “Still hilarious.Especially when you went off on that security guard.”

Tim chokes. “Jason—”

But Jason waves him off. “You’llhave it sent to your phone after the movie, baby bird.”

Tim grins. And then it melts offhis face, when he realizes that the entire time Damian and Jason had beentalking, Dick had been dead quiet. He glances over at his big brother—only tocough on his own laughter.

Jason blows an exasperated breath,sounding put out. “The movie hasn’t even started yet. He can’t seriously beasleep already.”

Bruce smiles indulgently, his handrubbing up and down a sleeping Dick’s back. Dick has all but turned Bruce intohis pillow at this point, and Bruce doesn’t even seem to mind. “He’s had arough few days. Let him sleep.”

Jason rolls his eyes, and thenwaves Damian over, who’s on the other side of Dick, while he pulls Tim closerto him. “Come on, then. If Dick gets a people pillow, then so do I.”

Tim laughs lightly, but he letsJason pull him into what’s almost a cuddle. Their arms are touching, and withDamian on Jason’s other side, Tim almost gets the impression that Damian mightactually like them. Tim thinks he gets halfway through the movie before hefalls asleep.

Sometime later, he wakes up, andthe room is quiet. The screen is dark, and Jason’s deep, even breathing rightnext to him tells him that Mr. I Never Let My Guard Down Around Bruce Wayne hasfallen asleep. He wouldn’t be surprised if the tiny ex-assassin is asleep, too.

He wonders for a moment, what wokehim up, but then he hears it.

“Sorry,” Dick is murmuring. “I’msorry, Bruce.”

Bruce hushes Dick. “It’s okay.”

“It’s not,” Dick insists. “It’s not okay at all. I don’t know what I’msupposed to do now. Everything is so messed up, Bruce. I feel like I’m beingpulled in so many directions and it’s just—it’s all messed up.”

“It’s not,” Bruce tells Dick, andTim’s wide awake now. He makes sure to keep his breathing even and deep, justlike Jason’s. “It sucks, but you know that things will turn out okay.”

“They fell,” Dick says, but it sounds like his breath is hitching. Likehe’s going to cry. Tim tries not to let himself react to that observation, orDick’s words. He’s not sure he succeeds. “And it never ever gets any easier.Especially—Especially when I see something like—”

“I know,” Bruce says, and then theyboth fall quiet for a while. Dick’s breathing evens out a bit, and Tim’s almostfalling back asleep when Bruce says out of nowhere, “You know, you can talk to someonewhen that happens.”

“I tried to talk to Wally,” Dickadmits. “But—Wally’s stressed, too. And then he kept getting angry because Iwasn’t sleeping. It—It wasn’t much help.”

Brue lets out an exasperatedbreath. And when he speaks, he sounds fond in a way Tim hasn’t heard very often,“I meant me, Dick. I was there that day, too. And you used to sneak into bedwith me every time you had a nightmare.”

“I’m not ten anymore,” Dick says.

“So?”

Dick doesn’t seem to have anythingto say to that, but it gets Tim thinking. Thinking about how much Dick does anddoesn’t tell Tim and Jason and Damian. About how much he tries to hide fromthem all, including Bruce, apparently. About how much he’s trying to shoulderon his own. And Tim thinks that maybe it wouldn’t have gotten so bad if Dickhad just opened up, like he tried to get his siblings to do whenever they were feeling stressed or angry orsad.

It makes Tim wonder how stressedout Dick really is. How much of Dick that they don’t see. How much Dick hidesbehind that mask of his.

And then Tim wonders if he couldshoulder that much and still come out sane on the other side. Probably not, hethinks. It’s already hard enough trying to do what he does now.

After a long time, Tim hears Dickmurmur a small, “Thanks, Bruce.”

And there’s a smile in Bruce’svoice when he says, “Go to sleep, Dick.”

Tim wonders and he wonders, and hethinks that next time this happens, he’s going to try to be on the lookout forit. Because Dick, his big brother, the one trying to hold up the sky for hisfamily, doesn’t deserve to be so unhappy and stressed. Next time, Tim’s goingto prevent it before it hits too hard.

Next time, he promises himself.Next time, he’ll be the one holdingup the weight of the world for Dick.

Dude omg do you remember that one time Harley and Ivy were causing trouble during Dick Bats era and he let them go with what they wanted after somehow convincing them to not cause trouble, basically said "be gay DON'T do crime!"

HA! I forgot about that, but that’s iconic. I’ve beeb meaning to reread Dick era Batman but got distracted by the supersons comics (which btw Dami treating Jon like a flying skateboard is fucking hilarious)

Honestly in my mind Ivy and Harls act as aunties to the batkids and know their secret identities.

For them a fight with the batkids is just sparring that might end in jail time. They wanna be grumpy cause jail sucks, but gosh darn they’re so proud of those kiddos!

“Ivy, did you see little birds kick? Oh lord, he’s gotten even better. I didn’t think it was possible for my little bird brain to get even better!”

“Did you see that flip wing did? I will never get over how talented my sweet little poppy is.”

Also I’m convinced that they have caused Bruce to receive several phone calls about his kids being kidnapped from school grounds.

Like they’ll randomly think “Awww Tim aced his history exam! Let’s pick him up early and take him to the arcade!” Or “It’s Tuesday, you know how Dami feels about Tuesday’s! Let’s take him for milkshakes!” Or even “Ivy! I can not get over how adorable Duke looks in his school uniform! Oh god! He’s growing up so fast, let’s pick him and go to the zoo. I need to spend time with my little man!” So they pick the kids up, but don’t tell Bruce cause he’s a ~buzzkill~ and it leads to a city wide panic over the well being of the Wayne heirs.

They’ll also randomly kidnap Dick from, well, anywhere for movie marathons. Or take Cass and Steph and even Babs for spa days. Or take Jason to local bookstores, or just small bookstores they hear about in different cities.

They’re just amazing aunties and the batkids adore them. They drive Bruce crazy, but honestly he does have a bit of a soft spot for them.

TL;DR: Ivy and Harley are amazing aunties who love their batkids and Bruce is ~stressed~.

They’re a Bit Protective

Requested by an anon

Summary: How the batfam gets protective of each family member/how they show they care.

Warning(s): None (Super Long)

//This is not finished yet but it’s already taken forever and I just feel like it’s prohibiting me (mentally?) from getting other requests done. Feel free to send in for an unfinished character and help me complete it. It’s not the best, nor is it the most accurate, but please appreciate it.

Bruce:

Batmom:

basically “don’t touch bc everything I love that someone else touches BREAKS.”

has a tough time actually incorporating your feelings into his protective methods.

when you decided you wanted to help man the computer he upped the security by 10000%

A lot of his showing he cares comes out sexual, mainly because when he’s physical with you the whole world melts away.

Dick:

Batmom:

Dick constantly calls you even when he’s away(unless he’s on a mission or undercover)

makes sure you’re okay emotionally, just constantly checking up on you, he knows Bruce can be cold sometimes.

will never decline a brunch invitation.

Barbara:

He’s protective of her in the sense that he’s not protective(does that make sense?)

She’s kickass and he knows she can handle her own.

But he can be caught keeping a watchful eye on her during fights - just in case.

Jason:

He tries to relate to him but he just can’t.

Dick is upbeat and mostly-optimistic and Jason’s practically the polar opposite.

That doesn’t mean it won’t stop him from checking up on Jason every now and then.

Whether it be catching him on parole or breaking into his brother’s apartment for some “brotherly” bonding time...

Tim:

Dick always cherished the last picture he had the his parent’s, it was only a coincidence that Tim and his family were in it as well, or so he thought.

Dick completely shot down the idea of Tim getting involved with Batman even though his smart’s impressed Dick.

Dick really admires how hard Tim has to try and how hard he does try to keep up and be in top physical condition.

Dick tries his best to help Tim keep up his social life because he knows first hand that the teenager life seems to be harder than the vigilante life.

Stephanie:

Dick likes to just hang out with Steph, he knows she has a lot on her plate and he likes to offer to help with her homework.

Orrrr have a movie night.

He tried to help her out of her “amateur” Spoiler days and was happy when she decided to become Batgirl.

Cass:

Just like Barbra, he knows Cass can handle her own in a fight.

But he likes to keep a watchful eye on her.

He also likes to just talk with her, even when she was mute he would just babble as she went about her business.

Damian:

He tried his best when he was Batman to show Damian the ropes of the Robin mantle and Dick did a better job than Bruce ever could have.

Damian’s only a kid and Dick just really tries to get Damian to do some typical kid things

Mainly so Damian’s not forced to live the lonely life Dick’s watched Bruce lead because he has a choice.

Though he knows Damian “hates” him for it, he also knows when Damian’s sixty years old and Dick is already dead he’s not going to resent the memory of being dragged to the zoo then.

Barbara:

Batmom:

You’re the only one Barbra doesn’t feel guilty venting to.

Everyone else is dealing with almost the same shit she is but you always listen and give her actual advice.

Every time she sees you she gives you a hug.

Dick:

She will kick anyone’s ass for him.

Even from her wheelchair.

Obviously they have history together and she’s almost convinced that no matter what happens they’ll still have a mutual respect for each other.

She knows him like no one else does, so she helps out with the things she knows he forgets(like reminding him to actually do his laundry once in a while.)

Jason:

Jason���s aggressive tactics and overall rude attitude annoyed her for the longest time.

But there’s not much you can say after the guy died.

When he came back she tried to reach out to him but he was already closed off.

She still tries to reach out and shows up every so often to help with a bad guy or two.

Tim:

She admires his detective skills and smarts in general.

She’ll find out what he’s learning in school and talk about it with him like two little nerds.

Of course she tries to help him out with his girl issues and gives him date ideas...and legit excuses for bailing out on dates when duty calls.

She is his go-to for advice.

Stephanie:

AKA The sister she never had

Steph decides to open up to Barbra first(besides Tim) and they just click.

Again, she gives boy advice and pretty good advice too.

There’s few girls in the vigilante business so they kind of stick together and cover each other’s backs.

Cass:

Babs was kind of reluctant about Cass, she was pretty intimidating and the fact that Cass was rather unstable made Babs even more leery about it.

She definitely admires Cass's fighting abilities though.

When Cass starts to open up, Barbra is right there to offer a friendly smile and some take out Chinese.

Damian:

She tries to be a supporting figure in his life.

Especially since Dick was the one training Damian.

But Damian is Damian and although Babs tried, and she still tries, Damian was trained to be closed off.

Jason:

Batmom:

He’s much more aggressive in protecting you.

After he came back to Gotham the first thing he did was check up on you.

But he saw you moved on, and he couldn’t just show up out of the blue suddenly alive, plus he had a mission to do.

He won’t ever say anything, but he loves when you force him into a hug.

Dick:

He appreciates Dick respecting him as a vigilante.

Before his death he didn’t really see a lot of Dick, but all he knew is that he would always be compared to him.

Though he doesn’t really show it he also respects Dick quite a bit.

When shit hits the fan he’d much rather stand next to Dick than Bruce.

Barbara:

Babs was really the first female he became friends with.

Pshhh he did not know how to act.

Still to this day he’s sooo suave with the ladies.

He knows if he ever needed any advice, Babs is like the batfam’s personal advice-giver.

Tim:

He hated Tim as first because he was reminded how easily replaceable he was to Bruce.

After a while it really clicked at how much shit Tim had to go through because of Jason - and Tim wasn’t exactly the naturally athletic type either.

Jason just doesn’t want what happened to him to happen to Tim.

Stephanie:

Pretty sure they have sarcasm battles

Along with “who has the shittier life” battles

He digs Steph’s style and they both appreciate the fact that they both tend to be more aggressive when fighting.

Cass:

During his time with the LoA, Jay gained massive respect for anyone who was trained with them.

She’s hardcore af but she’s also loyal to Bruce, almost a little too much and he’s a little leery of that.

If Cass asked him for his own beating heart he would probably give it to her.

Damian:

Jason feels a little awkward around Dami(maybe because he allegedly banged the kid’s mom????)

But at the same time there’s this normalcy when he’s around Damian.

The kid grew up with a tough childhood, similar yet completely different to Jason’s.

Both of them seem to express their emotions through anger, making it easy for each other to aggressively jump in for backup of the other.

Tim:

Batmom:

Protectiveness from Tim goes unseen for the most part.

He knows how careless you are with your electronics and he’s constantly stealing them so he can put a firewall on them(and a tracker.)

But the best gift he gives you is smiling.

The sleepy smile as you hand him his cup of coffee.

The excited smile when he makes a break in a case.

The sly smile when you figure out he upgraded your laptop.

Dick:

Dick is the master acrobat so Tim tries to wiggle in a bit of analytical thinking into the

Barbara:

Oh the geek talk!

Both Tim and Barbra are more analytical thinkers

Cass:

Damian:
