NIGHTWING/DICK GRAYSON + TALKING ABOUT BATMAN in JLA: OBSIDIAN AGE

[sodamnbored]

New parent Bruce at two in the morning: Why aren’t you in bed?

9-year-old Dick, sitting at the table eating ice cream: Because I’m in the kitchen.

Bruce tiredly, digging out some coffee: And why are you in the kitchen?

Dick: Because it’s where the ice cream is.

Yet another JL learns about Batfam post

Featuring: everybody loves Nightwing

So, Nightwing isn’t technically a member of the JL, but everyone knows him and adores him. Even Batman seems to tolerate him fine.

They’re on a mission. Let’s say alien invasion. Or killer robots. Something large scale and dramatic.

Everyone’s fighting in the same general vicinity. Nightwing and Batman just happen (read: either very carefully planned, unconscious habit, or a combination of the two) to be fairly close together.

Suddenly, an explosion happens. Everyone is knocked down. Including the aliens/robots. Conveniently, they stop being an issue now, so we can focus on The Reveal.

Anyway, everyone knocked down. They start to get up and look around, checking to see that everyone is fine. And it looks like everyone is well and accounted for, except…

Nightwing!

Where’s Nightwing? They all start to panic (except Batman). Is Nightwing okay? Where did he go? Is he hurt?

And then Nightwing ducks out from under Batman’s cape, with a grin on his face, sunny and cheerful as ever.

“Well it looks like that instinct is fully intact. Explosion? Duck under the cape.”

He laughs at himself and Batman’s face twitches in what his family would read as a smile and most of the JL thinks they’re hallucinating.

“Do you two know each other?” They want to ask. And it’s been long enough that it would probably be awkward to ask. But they’re confused/curious enough that they might ask anyway.

Dick: Go big or go home!

Bruce: Please, for once in your life just go home. I'm begging you. Go. Home.

Dick: I'm going big!

I love Bruce and Alfred’s relationship so much. I love how much Alfred loves and cares for Bruce because sometimes it feels like he’s the only one that does.

I was just reading a superbat fic where Bruce gets hurt and Clark is talking to Alfred about how to care for him, and how to get Bruce to trust him and I kinda wish people played into Bruce’s separation anxiety, a little bit more. And I know that it sucks that he has separation anxiety, but it can be used in a cute way between Bruce and Alfred.

Since Bruce was a kid, he always wanted to be around Alfred. Alfred was his only friend for the majority of his life and he didn’t wanna be away from him and I think we should take that into adult hood.

Obviously, it has calm down in his adult life especially because he left Gotham for years, but I think it should still be there in small ways that most of the Batfam and Clark don’t pick up on.

Like Bruce not being able to go out and patrol, but is strong enough to wander the manor. So he just follows Alfred around as he does his daily duties, they talk here and there and Bruce helps Alfred anywhere the man will allow. But he mainly just stays in his vicinity watching over him.

or

Bruce just kind of needing to know where Alfred is at all times. Waking up and immediately going to the kitchen and not seeing Alfred there so he goes searching for him. Half asleep just wondering the halls, Alfred finds him looking for something..

“Master Bruce? May I inquire what you are looking for?” and Bruce turns around, looks at him and visibly relaxes. He doesn’t say anything he just grunts and walks back towards the kitchen and Alfred follows with a small smile.

or one of my favorites

Bruce gets de-aged into a 8 year old. Is freshly traumatized and he doesn’t want anyone but Alfred. He runs from all the kids and Clark, and doesn’t trust anyone but the butler.

He doesn’t speak at all, and just clings to Alfred’s leg and flinches from anything and everyone. He doesn’t want to sleep by himself in what he knows to be his parent’s room. So he sleeps with Alfred in the butlers quarters.

Everyone is between fawning over how cute Bruce and Alfred’s relationship is, and on the verge of tears every time he flinches away from them. Only to fawn again as they watch Bruce allowing Alfred to scoop him up and hide in his neck.

I swear Dick making fun of Bruce is actually the monologue going on in his head.

[farshootergotme]

Dick 'my mental stability is hanging by the rope that snapped and killed my parents' Grayson met Bruce 'emotions aren't real if you don't acknowledge them' Wayne when he was 8 years old and he never recovered.

Dick beat up Bruce worse for Jason than for himself

Tim: "Not good. Do we need help?" Bruce: "Don't ask for it, but call Dick in Bludhaven. Fill him in." Tim: "Which means he'll be here before dawn." - Batman: Outlaws #1, part 2: Bloodhawks

Dick getting read for filth 🙃 also:

Tim (hint hint hint): NIGHTWING? WE SHOULD CALL NIGHTWING? NIGHTWING TEAM-UP Y/Y?

Bruce: fine but only if we don't sound needy :///

Diana: *showing up to the Justice League meeting with her next updated costume*

Bruce, under his breath to Clark: Women, right? “Oh this is a nice costume. I’ll take one of every colour.” Pfft.

Later, at the Manor:

Alfred, dubiously: You already have enough trouble keeping up with Master Dick, and you’re thinking about adopting another?

Bruce, browsing the orphan catalogue: He’s a good sidekick, Alfred. I’ll take a bunch - all in the approved colour scheme, but slightly different sizes.

[ravenlilyrose]

Bruce, pouting: It’s not fair, Alfred! If I tell Dick anything, Tim knows it by the next week. And if I tell Tim anything, Dick knows it by the next day. But if I ask Dick anything about Tim, he scoffs at me. And if I ask Tim anything about Dick, he just stares at me until I go away!

Alfred, got tired of this weeks ago: From what I understand, that is what brothers are like.
