Bruce: Okay, let me get this straight-
Tim: More like let me get this bi you.
Jason: Let us ace-ess the situation.
Dick: Let’s see how this pans out.
Damian: I’m gay.
Bruce:
Bruce: That’s all great and all, but WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KITCHEN FIRE?!
Fox scritches
I think the sky is trying to say something? 🤔 👀 🏳️⚧️
as someone who once had a single parent who was dating i kind of imagine dick having some interactions with clark after he starts dating bruce that go something like this
bruce: so dick, as you know clark and i are dating
dick: *silent glare*
bruce: we wanted to talk to you today becaues we wanted to see if you would be okay with clark staying here sometimes *bruce & clark are sweating bullets*
dick: no.
bruce: no? *clark looks like he's going to cry*
dick: no. last time he was here he ate the stash of animal crackers i had in the cave.
----
*bruce & clark coming back from a date but the batcave entrance won't open. tries to go into the manor entrance but the door is locked and the key won't work. no overrides work. alfred isn't answering. finally dick answers the phone.*
dick: what.
bruce: can you let us in chum? it's getting kind of cold out here.
dick: only if he leaves.
bruce: come on dick, it's late and clark is supposed to spend the weekend here with us.
dick: no. he's not allowed.
*clark flies them up and gets in through the window of bruce's bedroom*
dick: i told you he wasn't allowed.
*cue shrieking from bruce & clark who were not expecting dick to be sitting on the bed*
(based on an interaction i had with my dad's gf when i was like nine, i would try to lock her out of the house...)
----
dick: hey, i'm home! look what i did at school tod---
*bruce & clark kissing in the kitchen, pull apart so fast clark hits his head on a cabinet*
dick: you desrved that, you're so gross and i hate you.
Damian: I don't want to be Robin forever, I don't want to move into other names and roles either! I... I want to be a doctor... like grandfather.
Alfred: *beaming with pride* Oh that's excelent, Master Damian! I'm so glad to see someone in this family actually following late Master Wayne legacy. Thomas would be so proud.
Bruce: *discretly tearing up* Yeah, that's... that's... great, just great, chum. I'm very very proud.
Damian, who is inspired by Thomas but at the moment was actually refering to Ra's: Yes, reading and just hearing all those stories about granfather Thomas made me admire him a lot.
Damian who still feels like he can't talk about the other side of his family. Who still feels like talking about happy moments or how despite everything his mother and grandfather loved him and did their best to make him happy or about the things he still admires about them will take away his place at the Waynes, will grant him eyes full of either pity or fearfull concern. Damian who knows his grandfather is evil and his mother is complicated, who choose a different path and who is starting to understand that being pushed to the path Talia and Ra's wanted was bad for him and unhealthy, that kids shouldn't be assassins (but should kids be Robins?). Damian who himself still has hatred and anger for Ra's but also who still has love and admiration. He got his love for animals from them, Ra's love for life. Damian who fundamentally still wants to be a Wayne very much but wishes being a Wayne didn't meant he had to give up on being an Al Ghul. Who wishes he could talk about them. Damian who admires Thomas Wayne and all the stories he heard about him but who was raised by the Al Ghuls, who heard about a santifield version of a healer grandfather and saw a demonized version of one. It was Ra's who bandaged him and Talia. Damian who is doing it for the Waynes. For these people he never got to met and wishes so much he had. Damian who is doing it for the Al Ghuls. For a mother who started wanting to be a doctor before wanting to run away and violence and cooportativism took it out of her, for a grandfather who is far from perfect but who always helps his own people.
Who wanted to be safe to talk about his first home with the people he loves the most. Who is terrifield that being inspired by Ra's will meant he doesn't belong with them.
Damian who didn't even lied. Who got the hugs and support. Damian who does not know why he is upset.
Steph: yeah, my check engine light is on and I have no idea why.
Bruce: *immediately grabs car jack and is outside with the hood open*
Tim: M&M’s are so good, man!
Bruce: *fills center console of Batmobile with M&M’s*
Duke: I love when birds sing so much. It’s always nice to wake up to
Bruce: *hangs birdhouses and bird feeders outside his window*
Babs: I just need one more book to complete my collection.
Bruce: *has a first edition on her desk at the library first thing in the morning*
Jason: I heard the new Mario Kart is fun.
Bruce: *buys it and a switch and puts it in his mailbox*
Dick: yeah, I really like their new album.
Bruce: *get him VIP tickets to the concert for him and five people*
Cass: I’ve been meaning to put this shelf up but I keep putting it off.
Bruce: *hammer and leveler teleport into this hands*
If anyone asks, he doesn’t acknowledge he did any of this or he shrugs it off with a “yep.” He’s a man of action, not words. He cares deeply and doesn’t know how to show it.
