    Summary

    The agony of having a crush: Jon is one specific person, but really, he could be anyone.

    Or, he could have been anyone, until the day he walks into the cafe carrying a porcelain clown doll, because Martin is dead certain that that is not something anyone else has ever, will ever, could ever do.

    Summary

    “I'm not suicidal,” Bruce says with a roll of his eyes, reaching out to take a biscuit from the plate in front of him. Alfred had specifically sent them with him to give to Clark, but what he doesn't know can't hurt him.

    Besides, Clark doesn't even seem to mind, given he's more focused on glaring at Bruce from across the table, “I didn’t say you were. I simply made some observations.”

    (The recurrent pattern of coming and going, decline and regrowth, of Bruce Wayne.)

    Summary

    "There was someone, when I was younger," Bruce looks down at his hands, sounding almost out of breath when he says, "I think I might have loved him,"

    Tim thinks he might have misheard for a second, but that's impossible, because there's no one sitting in the garden but the two of them and Titus. Then, Tim thinks Bruce must have misspoke, but that's also impossible, because Bruce doesn't misspeak.

    Which can only mean; I think I might have loved him.

    "Him?" Tim whispers for clarification, just to be sure. He's not sure why, but his heart is beating so loudly he can hear it in his ears.

    It's so loud in fact, he almost misses the way Bruce chuffs lightly, sounding amused when he replies, "Yes Tim. Him. A man."

    (Tim and Bernard get into an argument, Bruce tries to offer some advice.)

    Summary

    Hal is so far removed from what Bruce thought he wanted that one day he’ll have to take a long moment to reflect on all the life choices that led him to agree to go out with him.

    But for now, he’s just going to roll with it and accept the successes as they come. Well, assuming they ever manage to get through the first date.

    Summary

    Bruce’s children want to meet the man that their father deemed worthy of a smile. So they do, in the only way they know how. By breaking into people's houses and lurking in dark places.

    Bruce just wants his children to stop stalking Earth’s Green Lantern, if only because they're ruining his plans.

    And Hal?

    Well, Hal is convinced that Bruce has concocted a plot to get around his ‘no killing’ rule, by having his children stalk him until his heart gives out from the stress.

    Summary

    Considering the amount of bullshit Steph puts up with in her day-to-day, she deserves a night off from the emotional terrorism of being associated with the Waynes and their various love interests.

    Unfortunately, Steph rarely gets what she deserves.

    Summary

    Batman gets into a situation during an alien invasion and could use a rescue. Unfortunately, Dick and Jason don't think the Justice League is up for the task. At all.

    So Dick lets the League know that he will be handling the situation and to expect Batman back by the end of the night. He even promises that he won't be going alone. No one should stand in the way of a Batfamily rescue, even if the Justice League doesn't know there's a Batfamily at all.

    Summary

    Damian huffs, sounding slightly annoyed again, but Jason's starting to think that it might just be his default tone of voice, "Yes, Todd. I have been going for about two months now. Thomas and I decided it was essential to our livelihoods."

    There's a lot to unpack in that confession. Mostly though, Jason is rather horrified at all the emotions he's suddenly feeling and receiving. The last conversation he can remember having with Damian had been a few months ago where Red Hood had chucked the kid to the side before he could get shot, to which Robin told him never manhandle me like that again you neanderthal.

    So this was a lot to take in at seven in the morning.

    (Jason becomes a big brother and rebuilds some bridges, all in good time.)

    Summary

    Tim blinks, "You've seen Aladdin?" It hadn't occurred to him that Damian had time for cartoon films in between eating the happiness of innocent children and planning world domination, or whatever it was that he did when he wasn't threatening the wellbeing of his family members.

    Damian sniffs, somewhat scandalised, "Of course I have. Thomas and I found Grayson's old CDs."

    Bruce grunts, "VHS tapes. Dick was a child before CDs were popular."

    "VHS tapes," Damian amends, not even bothered by Bruce's very blatant eavesdropping, "In fact, we are to watch The Small Fish tomorrow after school."

    "The Little Mermaid," Bruce corrects, amused.

    (Tim comes to the realisation that he really doesn't know his youngest brother. That changes.)

    Summary

    After inhaling her food before Bruce's even halfway through his vanilla milkshake, Stephanie seems to have sobered up a little. She's looking less green, and more like she's trying to develop x-ray vision and look into Bruce's soul.

    Or maybe she's still drunk, because she very suddenly and very bluntly tells him, "I used to wish you were my dad," drowning her chips into a little pot of ketchup.

    Bruce pauses. He slowly drops the chicken nugget he was about to put in his mouth — since now is probably not the time to complain about how the nuggets are a little dry today.

    (Bruce Wayne is not Stephanie Brown's father, not at all.)

    Summary

    “Um,” asks the little voice at the other end of the phone, “are you Selina?”

    Selina pulls the phone away from her face to check the screen again, making sure that she’s not going crazy. No, the phone calling her is definitely Batman’s.

    “What,” she says, “the hell?”

    Summary

    Unknown number has sent 1 image, the banner reads. That’s right. The Replacement had said he was into photography or something. Another buzz comes in as Jason is double checking the daggers shoved into his boots. And then another. And another. It’s incessant. With a huff, Jason opens the phone back up to idly stroll through the stream of Dick’s inconsistently punctuated texts.

    Tim what is this

    Where are you

    You said you had homework??????

    Hello????

    Well, he seems a little distressed.

    Jason scrolls back up to the top of the chat, ignoring Dick’s incoming messages to take a closer look at the inciting image. It’s blurry and dark. Jason has to hold the phone ridiculously close to his face just to make it out. A green-gloved hand gives a thumbs-up over a piece of wet pavement. Jason squints closer. It’s not just wet. It’s a deep, slick red.

    Cool. Whose blood is that? Jason asks. Dick’s response is immediate: NOT HELPING JAY.

    ***

    Jason, Dick, and Tim learn about communication.

    Summary

    Jason crosses his arms and looks away from Roy, glaring at a hole in the wall. “Whatever. What the fuck ever. Why are you even here. I told you we were done.”

    Roy hops over the edge of the couch to take a seat, ignoring Jason’s noise of protest. “Yeah, you sure did. Pretty unilaterally, I might add.” He leans an elbow on the dusty cushion as he looks back up at Jason. “You know, normally when you dump someone, there are two lanes of communication.”

    “What,” Jason says flatly. Roy casts a lazy look back towards the kitchen. Jason stands with his hands hanging loosely by his sides, looking oddly stricken. “That’s not–-no. We weren’t even–-” He swallows, hard, and turns back towards the cupboard.

    Roy watches him, the tension ratcheting up in his shoulders, the red flushing through his neck, and thinks: Bingo.

    ***

    Roy Harper decides he will not be broken up with so easily. Especially by a guy he was never technically dating. Jason Todd takes it very well.

    Cass is the first to discover everyone’s secrets, not Oracle, not Red Robin, not Batman—her. One might think that makes her one of the truest children of Batman of them all, but that’s all she is, and that’s all she wants to be: Batman’s daughter. There is no Cain within her blood. There is no Cain within her name. She is Orphan and Orphan only.

    OR: five times Cass finds out about her siblings’ relationships and one time she finds out about her own.

    Batman has always kept his secrets close to his chest, with his family being one of the bigger things he was keeping quiet about. But even the most secretive of men are not infallible, and Batman gets impaired far too often for his liking.

    Alternatively: Seven times Batman introduced the League to his children while under the influence and one time he introduced himself.
