i do find it funny the concept of all the batkids agreeing that tim is the most likely to eventually snap and go full supervillain on them all. like i bet damian and jason get together and decide that to lower the risk they should ragebait the fuck out of him at any and all opportunity to try and steer him away from overreactions. and i bet it stresses dick the fuck out.
Jason: *trips Tim for no reason* whatcha' gonna do? kill me again?
Tim: can you give it a fucking rest- *tries to get up*
Jaosn: no *shoves him back down*
Dick, furiously whispering after Tim leaves: can you stop pissing him off you know he's a flight risk-!
Jason: that's the point. if we piss him off enough he'll get used to it and he'll stop thinking everything should be retaliated with via supervillain revenge. we're lowering the stock value of his rage.
Dick: are you fucking kidding me-
Damian: *walks into the batcave and silently shoots Tim with a paintball gun*
Damian: deep breaths Timothy. remember your mental exercises.
Tim: SHUT THE FUCK UP. I'LL-
Damian: *shoots him again*
Damian: *cocks gun in warning*
Tim: ...i'm going to go. do some gardening. and meditate.
Dick, after Tim leaves, face pale: why are you testing him like that he's going to kill us all.
Damian: Todd and i have a schedule to ensure premium anger management training.
Dick: THATS NOT GONNA WORK.
Damian: and yet he's gardening right now.
*during a JL meeting the batkids had to help out with*
Tim: -so that's my plan, are there any objections?
Jason: yeah, that plan's fucking stupid. like seriously, did you even try?
Damian: literally the most pathetic attempt at displaying intelligence i've ever seen. no wonder your original parents stopped calling.
Tim: *stares at the two blankly for fifteen full seconds*
Diana, leaning in to Dick: ...what was that about?
Dick, white-knuckling the table, blood pressure through the roof: they're. trying to train him.
