Jason: Hey, Alfie! Which of us was the least crazy as a kid?
Bruce: Letâs face it. None of us were easy children. I dropped out of college and then dropped off the grid. Dick was a menaceâ
Jason: Nah, Dickâs the Golden Boy.
Bruce: He wanted to single-handedly hunt down a powerful criminal and thought the entire manor was a trapeze.
Dick: Well, Jason was like the perfect kid.
Bruce: He ran away, died, and started murdering people.
Jason: Fair. But the Replacementâs your perfect little soldier, isnât he?
Bruce: He stalked me, he says incredibly concerning things with no idea how concerning he sounds, he started YOUNG JUSTICE, Iâ
Damian: Batgirl III is boring. Surely she was easy to deal with?
Bruce: Are you kidding me? She got pregnant and started a gang war!
Steph: Guilty as charged. But Dukeâs the normal one, soâ
Bruce: You started a gang war? Duke started a gang!
Damian: Iâm the perfect heir.
Bruce: Youâre an assassin who is currently attempting to turn my house into a zoo. And you keep trying to murder Tim.
Jason: Eh, weâve all been there. Except Cass. Cass hasnât tried to murder anyone.
Bruce: Cass tried to fight Lady Shiva to the death, despite refusing to kill. Cass is not well-adjusted either.
Cass: Barbara is good.
Bruce: No, she keeps hacking the Batcomputer. And sheâs dating my son. Honestly I have no idea how Iâm still sane.
Alfred: Iâm afraid your sanity is very much in question, Master Bruce.

okay but when the team actually starts calling the reader and aaron mom and dad behind their backs and one day someone lets it slip out in front of them??
i just⊠aaronâs reaction?????
the parentals
i love this dynamic SO MUCH cw; fem!bau!reader, established relationship, fluff <3
as you and aaron entered the bullpen, you were both quick to notice the others huddled around spencer's desk, surely for a new session of physics magic.
a smile immediately twitched at aaron's lips, tossing you a mischievous look. as long as it didn't make a mess, or a disruption - per his and reid's previous discussions - he really didn't mind the recurring demonstrations.
but would he ever miss an opportunity to get the blood rushing in this scenario - never.
"be nice." you teased, laughing softly under your breath as you followed him over.
"i'm always nice." aaron playfully insisted, those brown eyes flickering in that way that just melted your heart. "what do you mean?"
"better be careful," emily's warning came into earshot as you neared, completely oblivious to the two of you - the timing just perfect. "or else dad's gonna ground you."
aaron's expression quirked at the title, his eyebrows lightly furrowing.
"oh please," spencer said, his fingers making quick work of whatever the experiment happened to be. "he's too busy with mom-"
jj's eyes happened to lift right at mom, made direct eye contact with you, and immediately choked back a laugh. some horror timidly filled her eyes, and she didn't cover up her sound too adequately. it caused the others to instantly look up too, and freeze.
"busted." jj mumbled, her gaze finding the ground.
aaron's smile resurfaced, crossing his arms. his tone was playful, yet confused and utterly amused nonetheless. "dad?"
spencer flushed. "uh..."
"oh c'mon. cut the crap." emily interrupted with an eye roll, looking between the two of you. "like it's not shocking at this point. just look at what the two of you were about to do, lecture us-"
"hey no," with a laugh you cut in, arching an eyebrow. "i don't lecture."
"exactly. he does," emily crossed her arms also with a smitten smirk - her point thoroughly exhibited. "you're the flexible one. see, mom and dad."
"i always thought rossi was dad." aaron expressed openly, a small chuckle shaking through his chest.
"no, you were always dad," jj shook her head, "rossi was mom, until," once again, her eyes found yours, smiling softly this time. "until someone else came around, and took on the role wholeheartedly."
you grinned, exchanging a quick, loving glance with aaron. "what's dave now, then?"
"old."

Back with Jason recs
real love, baby [1210]
a post-wedding moment between newlyweds (fluff, suggestive content but sfw)
âCan I see your hand?â
Jason passes it over his lap wordlessly, and you shift on your elbows to get a better look. The silver band wrapped around his finger glints in the lowlight, and you sink your teeth into your lip to fight back the squeal bubbling in your throat. Flicking your eyes up, you find blue-green eyes on you, a similar grin playing on his lips.
âLet me see yours,â he demands and you let go of his hand to sit up from where youâd been lounging on your stomach. Youâre careful with the swathes of white fabric youâre still covered in as you move, the reception dress pooling around you as you extend your hand at him. Playfully, you wiggle your fingers at him, letting the ring catch the light. The pretty diamond winks at you, and you canât help the little sigh that expels from your lips.
The hour is late and you ought to be getting to bed, but the excitement of the day has yet to settle, love curling in your stomach and wrapping tight around you. The both of you had been eager to escape the reception, dreamy as it had been, and the moment the door to your hotel room had shut youâd fallen back onto the plush sheets of the massive bed with a loud breath. Jason had quickly followed suit, but not before kicking off his dress shoes and slipping your own off, slumping on your left in the black tux youâd had a hard time dragging your eyes away from all evening.
âMine now,â he breathes out, fingers circling your wrist. âOfficially. Iâve got the papers to prove it.â
You grin. âPossessive, arenât we?â
He inclines forward to nip at your neck and you squirm, giggling, batting him away. âYou would be, if you were me. âSides, donât act like youâre any better. Feels like Iâm getting mauled anytime you get your hands on me.â
Your smile stretches from ear to ear, it feels like, as you topple forward to kiss his face, arms coming around his neck. The movement is wobbly, the mattress underneath your knees too soft to remain upright, and you fall into his lap.
âYes, well,â you sigh. âHow else was I supposed to let everyone know you were taken? You have this ring now, but it wouldâve been anybodyâs guess, before.â
You can feel the metal of his ring press into the small of your back through the fabric of your dress. Jason mutters something, your ears catching the word menace, and tips his face up to catch your mouth with his.
âHowâs it feel?â you mumble against his lips. When he pulls away, you giggle at the smear of gloss around his mouth. âYouâre a husband now.â
He shrugs. âKnew I was gonna be when I met you,â he says baldly, and you blink. âJust feels like things are the way theyâre meant to be, now.â
âWhat?â you titter, a little stunned, still smiling.
He shifts back to lean against the headboard, hands clasped around you. âI just mean that I knew you were it. Took one look at you and I felt it. Intuition, or something.â
âYouâre just saying that to get into my pants,â you tease, but you canât help the way your heart thumps a little harder when he shakes his head simply, blue-green eyes focused on you solemnly.
âIâm serious.â
And maybe itâs the heightened emotions that have been running rampant all day, but tears pool in your lash line so suddenly his face shifts into one of concern as you croak out his name pitifully.
âHey, whatâs wrong?â he coos, and you shake your head, tilting forward to kiss him. A stray tear brushes past your lashes and he laughs goodnaturedly, thumb swiping it away.
âSilly, didnât I do enough cryinâ for the both of us today?â he chides and it prompts a watery laugh out of you at the memory of your teary fiancĂ© standing at the altar, gulping back the lump in his throat and failing miserable as you walked towards him.
âMy turn now,â you murmur through giggles. âWho said you get a monopoly on being emotional?â
âYou mustâve missed the notice in the paper.â You swat him half heartedly, and he shakes with laughter.
âStupid,â you mutter and his fingers dig into your sides.
âYeah, but you still married me,â he says breezily and you squeal when he brushes against your ribs. The smile on his face is radiant, smug and proud, brighter than the diamond gleaming on the finger heâd slid your ring on.
âI did,â you breathe out, laughter in your voice. âNo getting rid of me now.â
His mouth quirks, gazing fondly down at you. âGood.â
Thereâs a bottle of something bubbly in a bucket of ice alongside two flutes on a tray nearby, and Jason deposits you on the bed to retrieve it, the loud POP it makes eliciting a stream of giggles from you. He joins you soon after, handing you your glass.
Propped against the headboard with his shoulder pressed against yours, you hold your glass up to him. âA toast?â
âBaby,â he huffs out a tired laugh, âIâve lost count of how many toasts weâve had tonight.â
âWhatâs one more?â you wheedle and he sighs in acquiescence. When you look over, his cheeks are flushed, and a quiet smile plays on his lips.
âSure,â he murmurs. Tipping his chin for you to go on, he adds, âWhatâs your toast?â
You hum thoughtfully, before you start to laugh. âTo Bruceâs face when Dick started dancing with my aunt.â
He throws his head back at that, barking out a laugh. âSure, Iâll drink to that.â
Your glasses clink together, and you take a sip, the bubbles making you cough a little as they float up to your nose. You nudge him.
âYour turn.â
He thinks for a moment, eyes lighting up gleefully. âTo Damian having to pass Dick a tissue when he started crying before we could make our speeches.â
Your brother-in-lawâs face had had the both of you hiding behind your cards, and now makes you burst into laughter all over again, face flushing as you gasp for breath.
âPoor Dami,â you murmur in between titters, your drink sloshing precariously in your glass as you tremble.
âWe all knew it was going to happen,â Jason tells you, wiping away a tear, lips twitching as he tries to keep a straight face. âHe just came prepared.â
The volume of liquid in your glasses steadily decreases as the night grows darker. Slumped against your husbandâs side, the two of you recount the reception and the various events that had occurred during its course. You propose toasts until your glasses are empty, at which point Jason takes them and places them on the floor beside your bed so that he can kiss you.
Tucked under his arm and exchanging sleepy kisses, you peer through your lashes at him. Haloed and smudged by your blurry vision, he appears before you with all the qualities of a dream.
âMine now?â you ask against his lips, slowly being lowered into the mattress.
He hovers over your body, mouth swollen and eyes half-lidded.
âAlways was.â
had this in my drafts for ages and finally got around to finishing it. i just think being so lovesick and giggly and newlywed and forever is something that can be so personalâŠ.oh to marry your best friendâŠ.
