( @ jason )

it’s been a particularly rough night. patrol has sucked, and dick is bruised, body and ego. so running into jason is pretty far down on the list of things he’s hoping for tonight. he just doesn’t have the energy to be all smiles and support. his eyes narrow, eyes flitting quickly over his brother before he manages a sound kind of like a scoff and looks away. “ that’s quite a look you’ve got. i guess that answers the question about who you’ve been running around town with. ” he’s not surprised, now, that tim wouldn’t just come out and say it.

dick isn’t being entirely fair, and when he’s had a good three or four hours of sleep, he’ll be more generous, maybe. but right now, all dick is focused on is that jason has ditched his family to run around town with the ex of the guy responsible for fucking jason up the most. it feels like a slap in the face, but even already, dick knows that’s a pretty selfish way to feel. “ you takin’ care of yourself, buddy? what’s the new codename? ”

( @ babs )

dick snakes an arm around babs’ waist, still grinning so wide his face kind of hurts from it. now, he drops his chin to her shoulder from where he stands behind her, looking around. it needs furniture, which means they probably should have waited to try and settle in. but hell, he’s eager. and if that means using plastic utensils and sleeping without a bed frame, then god, he is more than happy to do that for months.

“ welcome home. ” which is a cliché thing to say, probably, but he couldn’t care less. he’s done a lot of big, scary things in his life, but this seems like one of the biggest and scariest of them. but good. undeniably, irrefutably good. “ have i mentioned today that i really, really love you, baby? ”

( @ roy )

“ so, i swear i’m not trying to march you down the aisle with a shotgun or anything, but when is the wedding? ” dick asks, giving roy a grin and a playful nudge of his shoulder. “ oh !! and i have something for you to give to kori. she said she’s been craving dried kale. so i got some of the fancy stuff from whole foods. ”

#holy shit ????#not that anyone wonders why dick is so smitten but #just Look at her #so stunning shit #✗ | strongest person i know ( & barbara )

dick turns the ring around a few time between his fingers. there’s a tempting quality to it; he can’t deny that. the rush of power, the sudden clarity. it’s really something. but there’s more than one reason dick keeps convincing himself to take it off. part of it is because dick’s always prided himself on doing what he does without the aid of superpowers.

but more than that...dick wants to experience that first moment of putting on the ring again, the moment of joy when he sees what he’s absolutely convinced must be from his future. it’s the same vision each time, but it’s intoxicating. “ these rings --- they really are something, aren’t they? ” he asks, finally managing a carefree smile as he pulls himself out of a particularly errant train of thought.

“How mad do you think Aphrodite would be if I borrowed some of her clothes and dressed up as her for Halloween?”

“ okay, well i don’t know, but let’s talk about how you apparently have access to aphrodite’s wardrobe. ”

“Why do I ever bother to leave my home? This entire city gives me headaches.”

“ well, you really do always have something going on, don’t you? how’ve you been? ”

wondertitan:

“Oh yeah, all the time. Why? Are you going somewhere for longer than a patrol night?” Cassie wondered. She wouldn’t blame him, actually she honestly thought all the bats deserved a little time off. This city was more chaotic than any other she’d seen, it must be exhausting to watch over it 24/7.

With Damian gone, she stepped up to lead the Titans, and she couldn’t complain about that. “If you head out, at least you have a ton of people who can watch over things for you.”

“ i am, yeah, ” dick says, nodding. “ going away on vacation for a few days, ” he explains, fingers drumming excitedly on the edge of his suitcase now. he grins at cassie. “ yeah, i’m really lucky to have so many people around to keep an eye on this place. i won’t have to worry at all. ” which doesn’t mean he won’t worry. just that the worry is probably unfounded.

extrcordinary:

the ship was beautiful. it left her awed even now, three hours after their departure from the port; the city was an ant on the horizon and the waves of gorgeous, clear blue sea that surrounded them on all sides was almost instantly rejuvenating. barbara couldn’t chase her grin away any longer, despite any misgivings or concerns she’d held about leaving before. it was overwhelming, but in a way that left her brimming with joy — it had been a LONG time since she’d felt so excited about something.

“ dick – !! ” she turned on her heel to face her partner for the next four days. the love she had for him for pulling this together wasn’t something she quite knew how to convey yet, but she wanted to try, one way or another. “ what do we do first?? i don’t even know where to start. did you see the list of things they have going on?? ” // @lcvesfalling

the last of dick’s doubts about this whole vacation had disappeared at about the same time that he’d lost view of land. turns out it’s a lot easier to relax and stop imagining the problems if you can’t even see the shore. the boat’s nice, yeah, but he’s distracted for the moment by the ocean. ( it’ll be a long four days if he doesn’t get over that. ) it’s just so big, he almost can’t wrap his brain around it. but babs’ enthusiasm is catching, and dick is already half-giddy himself.

“ oh, i know !! ” dick grins, nudging his shoulder against babs’. “ i don’t know where to start, but i do know that i’m going to absolutely clean house at the wet t-shirt contest on monday. ” he’s about ninety percent sure that there’s no such contest, but a boy can dream, right? “ i’m thinking that we really need to go check out the bar. just so we know the lay of the land. ”

extrcordinary:

“ — or something. ” babs replies with a roll of her eyes despite her huff of laughter. she pockets the device from earlier and breezes past him, little more than a feather light tap on his arm as she does. “ now, if you’ll excuse me, i’ve got some work to do. not a minute to be wasted, nightwing. ”

a dopey sort of smile follows babs now, and dick turns to follow her. “ batgirl, ” he says, lilting sort of whine in his voice. “ what work could possibly be more important than our witty banter? ”

telekinctica:

Plastering on a small smile, Celina wished she could sigh with relief over her little act being believable. Times like this, she wished she could read minds, she was sure that the identity of Nightwing would be worth a lot around here. “That’s very nice of you, Nightwing, isn’t it? I suppose one can always feel a bit safer knowing this city has people like you in it.” Ok, that was a little thick, even for her. She wished she could teleport away, but she was sure the hero had seen enough of her face already. “I don’t live very far, just around the corner,” she gestured to her right, where she knew a nice apartment building was. Not hers, of course, but if she made it inside she act like it was until he left.

yeah, dick doesn’t want to call her out, but this is starting to feel fake as hell. but the worst he’s really thinking right now is that she probably doesn’t like the vigilante population. it can be a little controversial, that’s for sure. but at least she’s not spitting venom; he’s gotten that a few times. “ well, that’s nice, ” dick says lightly, scratching at the corner of his mask as he walks, eyes taking in the streets and alleys carefully.

hopeingotham:

“Come on, you must have some things that keep you looking on the bright side. You’re like, the second most hopeful person in the family,” she laughed. Not that she was surprised by the question, people asked her that a lot actually, but she usually just waved it off with a joke about her sugar intake. But no, she could tell Dick was someone she could be honest with. Out of everyone, he was the one she felt she was the most like, really.

With a slight shrug, she smiles as she explains. “I don’t know, I guess I’ve always been like this. Had to be like this. There’s one downside to some of the bats being so closed off, they only see the dark side of Gotham. I try to meet people, make friends, get to know everyone. Out of the whole city, you’re bound to meet enough good people that make you see this city is worth fighting for. Have you ever heard that quote about the saddest people smiling the brightest? Something about not wanting to see others suffer like they have, I like that one. I guess me being chipper is from me finding things that make life worth living.”

she’s not wrong. dick certainly tries to go the hopeful route with his attitude, but that means he also knows exactly how tiring that can be. or maybe it comes to stephanie more genuinely than it does for him. and that’s sort of a depressing thought. good for stephanie, but kind of sad for dick.

“ that’s a good way to look at it, ” dick agrees, finally. she’s right, too. there are so many things in gotham worth saving. why else would they all keep getting out of bed in the morning? still, she makes it sound a bit easier than it is. there are days where this whole city feels damned. dick is having one of those days. “ i always like hearing new ways to stay on the chipper side, ” he explains, shrugging.

#hopeingotham

dick is fairly certain that normal people don’t have so many mixed emotions about going on vacation. he’s excited, sure, but he also feels really, really guilty about feeling excited. but it’s only four days. and no matter how much he loves gotham, usually, he’s pretty sure four days isn’t even enough time to miss it. or for it to miss him. so it should, god willing, be perfectly fine.

hes finishing up the last few things he needs to do in gotham now. bag is packed with the necessities, and tonight is his last patrol. he’s contemplating dropping by the manor to let bruce know that he's leaving for a few days, or to at least tell alfred so eventually the word gets back to bruce, but that just sounds like a recipe for trouble.

trying not to think about it, dick yawns now and stretches his arms over his head slowly before finally saying something. “ you ever get the feeling you’re definitely forgetting something? and i know it’s not gonna be the stove, because i’ve never turned the stove on. so --- i’ve got no clue. ”
