De-Aged Danny, gesturing to a dazed Bruce inside Wayne Manor: And this is Bruce! Otherwise known as the Himbo! Reporters: Hmm, yes, interesting... Bruce: What the- Danny: I'm not sure what that word means. I heard it from Dick, but no one will give me my answer, not even Jason, who is easily bribed. Bruce: Why are there reporters in my house!? Danny, innocent and childlike: They asked to come inside, Bruce! They seemed like really nice people, so I thought it'd be polite to give them a tour. Bruce, filled with infinite patience: I really wish you had asked me before you did that, chum. Danny: But why? We don't have anything to hide... do we, Bruce?

Or, in order to rise to the Ghost Throne, Danny has to complete a series of trials to prove he is capable of ruling (or any other reason, Danny just needs to do trials to prove himself).

The last trial, issued by Clockwork, is thus: discover the Wayne Family secret in two weeks without the use of any of his powers.

He has one shapeshift to pick a form that could endere him to the Waynes, but only one before he starts and he has to get close to the family by his own wits. Danny, after studying the family and reading of one sentence summary of each Wayne, picks the body of a six-year-old little boy that looked like a child Jason Todd.

Bruce: That child is up to something. Dick, third favorite: I don't know, Bruce; he acts like a normal kid. Jason, #1 favorite: I doubt the old man's ever met a normal kid. Tim, least favorite: Bruce is right, but can you please not talk like the villains from Chicken Run.

Tim is crying.

Now Jason hears Tim crying and how he sounds just heartbroken. And this upsets Jason, and Jason is mad. He doesn’t know why he’s mad but it’s the same feeling of anger he gets when any of his siblings are badly injured. Like he’s not just pissed at them for being stupid and getting hurt, but like he’s pissed at the thing that hurt them. So he can’t say why he cares just that he does.

So Jason takes it upon himself to get back at the ducker who hurt his brother replacement.

Now I know this can sound like hurt/comfort and trying big brother Jason with a side of angst for Tim.

But that’s not where my mind first went to.

Hear me out!

Now Tim is crying for a silly reason, okay? (He’s been up too late and saw a puppy rescue video that had him sobbing and then he thinks to himself ‘okay wow, big emotions, time to sleep.’)

Jason hears Tim and he may not know what’s going on but he’s connecting the dots. He’s connecting the wrong dots. But he’s connecting the dots all the same. He has come to the conclusion that Kon-El/Connor, Tim’s boyfriend, has upset Tim and/or broke up with him. Now mind you he has not talked to Tim.

So Jason calls Dick because Bruce changed the password to the vault with the kryptonite and Dick has a weird ability to correctly guess Bruce’s passwords. (When asked Dick said he knew based on Bruce’s mood that week. As if that answered the question.)

Now Dick is confused, “Why do you need kryptonite? Oh god, you’re not going to try and fight Clark are you? Please don’t. He gets so sad.”

And Jason doesn’t really explain the reason just what he thinks he knows, which is 1)Kon and Tim got into a fight and maybe broke up and 2) Tim is sobbing in his room and “now I have to kill Kon.”

“Kon and Tim? Jason. They weren’t dating.”

“Oh poor little Goldie. Always so oblivious.”

“….. were they actually dating?”

“Yeah? Why else would they be glued at the hip? And the flirting? They’re always flirting! If they’re not together I’m eating my left foot.”

“Why the left one?”

“I like the right one better.”

“Wow…. I can’t believe it. They were together this whole time and he didn’t tell me. Am I not a good brother? Why couldn’t he tell me?”

“It doesn’t matter! Are you gonna help me kill Superboy or not?”

“……… yeah, sure. The code is 10 1 18 18 15.”

“Seriously?”

“Well, he is the favorite.”

Cue Jason hunting down Superboy and Superboy being really confused. Dick has informed the others of Tim’s break up and they cheer Jason on but do not get involved. Eventually Superman and Batman do get involved once they realize what’s happening. Jason has to explain and Tim is embarrassed. Kon is amused but also why does Jason kill first ask questions later?

I just know Dick was scared out of his mind when Tim called up the Outsiders all crying and bloody. He still had Donna and Lilith's deaths festering inside of him, and now Tim was distressed and crying out for him, and all he could probably think was please don't take Tim from me too.

#tim being bloody and calling dick up like ''i need help'' is one thing #but CRYING and calling dick?? that had to have activated every big brother cell in dick's body #Dick Grayson #Tim Drake #Teen Titans 24

Where the Bats Come to Hide

Part 2

So to kinda build on to my Titus post I bet Damian does crawl into his siblings/fathers beds. Depending on what exactly the nightmare was, or what scares him decides who he goes too.

If it's Ra specifically Tim ends up with a baby bat tucked under the same pillow where his bow staff is. He knows that if it come down to it Tim can defeat Ra outwit him and see what his plans are before anyone else. Timothy stays up while Damian is in knowing his brother wants an active guard. His staff next to his computer with his chair facing the doorway. He knows Timothy will protect him from grandfather by anymeans necessary. Even at the expense of assassin lives. His grandfather can come but his Brother is ready and waiting.

Red hood finds a Robin sleeping under his pillow when Damian can't feel safe where he sees things of the corner of his eye. Where he can feel the cuts of blades or see the green of the pit. He goes to the brother who is always armed who's willing to pull the trigger. Damian goes when the only safety he can find is in the art of killing.

Nightwing finds his Robin tucked under his blanket curled around Zika when the world is scary when he's sad. The comfort of his Batman the warmth of the Brother who is ready with kindness as well as electricity luring him back to sleep when the memories of what he has done and gone through are too much.

His Father the great Batman can find his littlest tucked away in his room with the lamp still on when the dark is too scary. Who better to guard him in the shadows then the dark knight himself. The comforter feeling the same as the kevlar cape his father wears at night.

Closed Mind au

Wally, a clown son: do you hate my kind, sir? Did a clown hurt you so bad as a child you have to take it out on a fellow silly little guy?

Bruce: I don't hate clowns.

Wally, looks at Dick:

Dick, shakes his head: he's lying.

Wally, sighs softly: adults normally do, just stop beating my uncle into a pulp and hurt my auntie; uncle Joke was just at the bank to get a loan! A business loan!! You broke an ex and reformed villain's legs for nothing because he was getting a business loan for a clown store!

Bruce: I said I was sorry! You're ten, you just don't understand it yet. *To Dick* and you shouldn't have told him our identities.

Wally: I think I understand breaking a person's legs for nothing is wrong!

Dick: B, we came from the same circus, I tell him everything duh.

Wally:I'm calling Mama (Iris) and auntie Pam. Mr. Pennyworth, can I call my Mama and auntie?

Alfred: of course young master Wallace, this way.

Dick, smiling big: oooo you're in trouble now, B!

Bruce, scoff: please, I'm not scared.

Wally, in the next room: FEAR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, SIR!

Baby Jason: ‘hats goin’ on?

Dick: B messed up big time little wing.

Baby Jason: ooooo yous in t’ouble!

Bruce: you corrupted him.

Dick: I saved him, I don't need two of you running around hurting people for no reason.

[batbabydamian]

i've seen you reference a couple times that you're not into the idea of Damian being batman when he grows up which i completely agree with on a narrative level as well. this begs the question though...what do you think would fit Damian best when he grows up? (and why is it Nightwing COUGH COUGH)

ideally, i would love for him to create a new identity and forge his own future without any ties to a legacy 😭

i’m a sucker for the whole Grayson legacy aspect they tease with Damian so i would be happy with him as Nightwing, but i’m content with just seeing fan interpretations of it 🥺 i think Nightwing is so tied to Dick Grayson it’s hard for me to imagine it as a mantle that needs to be passed down unless Dick’s choosing to do so

anon i do see the vision though 😭

Nightwing (2016) #19/20

not that heirs should automatically get the mantle but if Dick did have the option. like. Dr. Hurt outright calling Damian as Dick’s heir, on top of Dick’s own subconscious in the form of a Nightwing Damian

Nightwing (2016) Annual #2

AND THEN THIS PAGE AS THEY ZOOM ON DAMIAN WITH THE TEXT SLAPPED OVER HIS FACE “…WE BOTH KNOW YOU’RE THE LAST OF THE GRAYSONS”

#sorry for the tangent but when Damian legacies are mentioned btwn Wayne and Al Ghul its funny that there could be the secret third option #we both know you’re the last of the Graysons as it pans over Damian echoes in my damn brain from time to time #im firmly in Dick realistically being Damian’s big brother but. Damian’s really the closest thing Dick’s had to an heir huh….. #but yes Damian’s very own hero identity when he’s older would make me cry i would be so proud 😭 #i don’t care if his suit turns out lame or his hero title’s cringe i would support the hell out of it 😭 #ask

Batkid Drabbles - "Exaggerate"

"What is this?" Dick's tone said he had a guess and didn't like it. Tim flinched.

"Uh…research project?"

"Is this a death ray?!"

"No! It's not a death ray-"

"Timothy Jackson Drake."

"Busted," Jason sing-songed quietly.

"You helped!" Tim immediately retorted.

"Me? Helpful? Sounds fake."

"Jason."

"Wait, how come I get full-named and he doesn't?!"

"You both got the Dad Voice," Steph threw in, momentarily derailing Dick's lecture.

"I do not have a Dad Voice."

"You can call it a Leader Voice if it makes you feel better," she said condescendingly.

Tim quietly shifted his project out of sight.

“Jason was done!  Done with Bruce, Done with the Justice League, Done with villains who like to think they are all that, done with everything!  He was all for just relaxing in his apartment.  Maybe going out on patrol, maybe even going out to the bar. But noooooo.   The Justice League had to go and get themselves kidnaped.”

Everytime I think about Dick Grayson having to constantly beg after Ethiopia to Bruce act like a father not only for him but all of his siblings I want to open a crater in the ground with by bare nails.

#having to much feelings about bruce being a father #or trying #this man after ethiopia made dick go through all the phases of grief under peer pressure #jason: died dick: welp I gess I'll internalize this forever as bein the atlas of my family :) #not only having to grief the death of his brother for what it is #but what it were and what could've been and what will never be #and having to realize and grief the same thing with the relationship with his father all at once at all #going insane #dick grayson #nightwing #nightwing the man who had to go through older daughter sibling at his twenties #rest in peace #except he hasn't had any peace since then #yelps #big yelps #older daughter syndrome* but yeah it also fits

It's a shame Jason is a Drama Queen. We completely missed out on him just going home like nothing happened.

Jason: Eating cereal

Tim: Vibrating in joy

Dick: Walks in kitchen. Grabs a coffee mug. Turns around. Drops mug. Mug shatters over floor.

Jason: Alfred went shopping a while ago so I'd say you have maybe 15 minutes to hide the evidence.

Dick: JASON!

Jason: What?

Dick: You're alive! How?!

Jason: I don't know? You gonna clean that before B steps on it or- Oof!

Dick: Crushing Jason. Holy shit you're alive! I missed you so much! Bruce is gonna flip his shit!

Jason: That's a no then; Stop trying to break my ribs!

Dick: Fuck no! I am never letting you out of my sight again!

Bruce: Meeting after breakfast; There was a break- Jason! How! Steps on broken ceramic. Ow! Why-?!

Jason: Dick broke it, blame him. Also. Don't worry bout it.

Bruce: Don't worry about what?

Jason: The break in at Arkham. I was the one that murdered Joker in his cell at 3 am this morning. It's whatever. No need to investigate.

Bruce: No need?! What?! Jason?! No! Why?!

Dick: I know I should be upset about the murder but I'm so happy right now that I don't even care!

Bruce: Dick!

Tim: Jason came home Bruce! Not only that! He saw me fighting alone last night! He ruffled my hair and said I did a good job! I invited him to come back with me! He said no at first but then promised he'd be home in time for breakfast when I begged him!

Bruce: Tim?!

Alfred: Walking in. Master Bruce, what have I said about walking around barefoot in the winter! Did you break another coffee mug?

Bruce: Alfred?!

Dick: Bruce! Don't RUIN this for me!

Jason: Ugh! My cereal is getting soggy! Let go already!

robin: the boy wonder — mythology: alex ross #1

(ID below cut)

[ID: a two page spread titled: Robin - The Boy Wonder. The art is in a bronze monochromatic colour scheme and it's narrated in Dick Grayson's perspective as he explains an overview of his backstory.

"My name is Richard Grayson, otherwise known as Robin - The Boy Wonder. I know what you're thinking. The late hours, the cool gadgets, the death-defying action - this kid has it all. Yeah, sometimes it's pretty cool." Robin is crouched on a building ledge as his yellow cape flows behind him. He's looking straight ahead and staring at the Gotham skyline that's filled with tall skyscrapers. Eight small, vertical panels are beneath him, accompanying the rest of his narration.

"But I had it better. Once I was part of the Flying Graysons aerial act, and more importantly, I was part of a family." Dick is shown as a young boy, performing a trapeze act in the air. His mother is smiling on a platform behind him as he reaches for his father's hands.

"Then one night, it all came to an end. There was an 'accident'." Dick is on the ground and is looking up as his parents are holding hands and falling. Their cut cables are falling after them as their son and a crowd in the background have to witness their deaths.

"Sleazy hoods were trying to scare protection money out of our circus, and killed my folks as a warning. I found out about it, but there was no one I could turn to for help." Dick is crouched near a doorway and is eavesdropping on the circus' owner getting threatened by a few mobsters.

"But then Batman turned to me. He had uncovered the truth about the shakedown and wanted me to help him bring the killers to justice." Dick is looking up at Batman, both of their backs to us and their features concealed in a shadow. In front of them, in the background, is the circus tent.

"He understood what I was going through because he had been there himself. He offered me the chance to join him full-time in his war on crime." Batman is pushing down his cowl, exposing his secret identity.

"He became my teacher, my big brother, and my friend. I don't think any kid worked harder to prove himself or enjoyed it more." Dick is training with Bruce - smiling as he flips him onto his back.

"It was my chance to right some wrongs and fight for people who couldn't, kind of like a modern-day Robin Hood." Dick and Bruce are wearing boxing gloves as they punch a hanging speed bag.

"Best of all, it's good to be part of a family again. Now life's not a circus anymore. It's an adventure." Batman and Robin are in their costumes and standing on a rooftop. The background remains in monochrome as they're shown in full colour. Robin is smiling as he's crouched, looking down over the ledge. Batman is standing behind him with a small smile of his own.

Personal headcanon: Only Dick’s siblings & very closest friends can make jokes about his name without it bothering him. Oh, he’ll smile, he’ll laugh, he’ll take it in stride, but it does bother him. The difference is those people he’s okay with have all laid someone out flat with a single punch & zero hesitation for doing the same.

Their teasing is loving. They’ve all called eachother much worse affectionately, and he knows they associate his name more with exasperating affection than actual insults. Nobody else gets to say that.

#dick grayson #robin #richard grayson #nightwing #teen titans #batman #my life #mine #batfam #// #Mostly #this comes from a mental image I have of Dick being really bothered by Jason’s various insulting nicknames #right up until someone else makes a snide comment and Jason punches them right out in public as hard as he can. #‘’You can call him Richard. Or Grayson. Or Mister if you’re feelin’ fancy. Or you can call him nothin’. Got it?’’ #Jason visibly /barely/ resists spitting on them. Then turns around & is visibly embarrassed to realize Dick saw all that. #That’s what Dick remembers every time Jason calls him Dickhead: scrawny little 13yrold Jason Todd laying out someone twice his weight #in the name of his big brother’s honor. #There are similar stories for like half of the Titans and all the other batkids. And he loves them all. So much.

[ardustein]

Bruce let Jason have a night off of patrol so him and Dick could build a blanket fort. Alfred found this later that night.
