TIM DRAKE and JASON TODD in RED HOOD: RESURRECTION EP 4

"mind if i come in, actually?"

sibling dynamics-

[ramen8008]

Batbros patrol

Jason: you know what I realized recently?

Tim: That Alfred hides cauliflower in food so you'd eat it? About time

Jason: what!? No! He does not do that does he?

Damian: I am not a part of this conversation

Jason: Dick???

Dick: No civilian names in suit, hood

Jason: you're deflecting

Dick: ....maybe. but regardless what were you saying to realize if not that

Jason: right. As I was saying. I was thinking and realized that out of the four of us Wing and I are the only ones who were adopted into money when taken by B

Dick: Oh yeah I never thought about it in that sense

Jason: right! Like these two were already rich as hell!

Tim: my parents were millionaires. Bruce is a billionaire so techni-

Jason: Don't even try. The fact that you can even tell the difference between a lot of money and a looooot of money is not working in your favor

Damian: how does this matter?

Jason: of course it doesn't really matter to you. You are royalty. You're so rich that you got demoted to billionaire status. You understand how crazy that is

Dick: he's not wrong

Jason: Dickie bird here and I were poor little shits taken in by Bruce-

Dick: okay hey I wasn't poor

Jason: yeah sure but were you even close to rich?

Dick: I was rich in love and family

Jason: [snorts] oh fuck you

Dick: yeah! B was a real downgrade compared to that! [Holding back laughter] You probably saw Bruce and took that as a best and most stable family you'd get

Jason: [laughs] oh you know what? Fuck I hate that you're right. Fuck you damn so I was poor in everything

Dick: yup. Poor sad kid taken in by batman-

Jason: oh no I'm not letting you out like that. Just cause you had a loving family doesn't give you a freebee

Dick: Damn it so I'm still in the poor kid club?

Jason: [rolls eyes] yup. You and me both

Damian: I still don't see how it's relevant

Dick: No it is because it does explain a lot of stuff

Jason: Right?! Like we got some shit these two never would

Dick; Fuck you're so right. Like I didn't realize how classist Gotham was

Jason: Yeah! They hated me man. The looks I'd get for being from crime alley

Dick: It makes sense, I always thought they were all just racist

Jason: oh yeah they definitely were. Old Gotham elites were things I don't want to say out loud with a child present

Damian: I'm not a child

Dick: It's all coming back to me. The weird shit they'd say? They fucking hated us for being poor

Jason: [nodding aggressively] YES YES YES FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT

Dick: [snorts] what the fuck man. Now I need to recategorize all the shit I got from just racist assholes to maybe also classist assholes

Jason: i think the Venn diagram of those two is just a circle. Don't bother

Tim: was it really that bad?

Dick: man people would make sexual comments about me being exotic as a "compliment" and to say that they could understand Bruce's investment

Tim: [scrunching up nose] ew. That's so fucked up

Damian: who are these people

Dick: no Damian. We're not killing them

Jason: I say we kill them

Dick: Jason no

Dick: besides Bruce took care of them long ago

Jason: ....fine

Dick: what about you? I mean they really hated crime alley people

Jason: [nodding] oh yeah. I was told a bunch of shit but this one lady would always try to convince me that it was my family and friends that killed Bruce's parents and how he was just waiting for the right time to get revenge on me

Tim: ....oh god

Damian: I must find these people

Dick: ...

Dick: WAIT IS IT THAT FAKE ASS OLD BLOND BITCH WITH THE OUTRAGEOUS PEARL NECKLACE???

Jason: [eyes widen] YES! You know her?

Dick: YEAH! SHE SAID SO MUCH SHIT MAN

Jason: [snorts] right?? Like I don't think she was right in the head cause some stuff I still wonder how she could ever say to a child

Dick: yeah yeah [laughing] like I was a kid. Like a little scrawny brown boy and you're telling me I'm about to be sold??

Jason: [wheezing] she told- oh go she told me about that- she said- fuck- [clears throat] she said [mocking high pitch voice] at least your brother had that exotic reselling value. You don't even have that

Tim: ....that's horrible

Dick: [laughing] oh god of course she did. Bro she was such a bitch- she she'd call me fucking slurs and then act all innocent and confused when Bruce stepped in

Damian: I do not understand why this is funny

Jason: [trying to breath through laughter] Bro Bruce made it all so much better. He'd step in and they'd all expect nice ole Brucie Wayne and then-

Dick: oh he'd go batman mode! It was hilarious

Jason: YEAH! That glare he had? One look and the idiot would be running away

Dick: yea- oh oh! I remember! [Laughing clenching his stomach] wait wait this one time- fuck [wheezing] he punched this dude right? Fuck you'll never believe what this man was saying

Dick: [calming down a little] so wait okay so this rich dude like comes up to me right? Bruce is around being Brucie Wayne you know? Probably dancing on a stripper pole and already taking off his clothes

Jason: [wheezing]

Damian: [confused] wha-

Dick: anyways this guy comes up to me right? He's young too. With a bad fucking hairstyle trying to hide his premature balding and comes up to little ole innocent me

Jason: [snickering] right of course. Oh so innocent little menace robin

Dick: shush. So he comes up to me who's just drinking my caprisun right? Looks me dead in the eye and without a hello or hey asks "is it gypsy with a g sound or gypsy with a j sound" and and he's completely dead serious

Tim: ...you're kidding

Dick: no no and like he had this expression that said he knew exactly what he was doing. Like he meant it as a slur. Like like- fuck it was like he researched slurs and then came to test them out and see

Jason: [wheezing] fuck- wait then what- what happened

Dick: [snorts] okay here I might have a little intense okay? But I'm still proud of little me

Jason: oh god what did you do

Dick: okay but remember what had just been said to me. I'm like 10 here and possess all the aggression a little fucker my size can possess so [holding back laughter] so like he says that shit right? And i- [wheezes]

Dick: okay okay little me looks at him, like direct eye contact and goes "I don't know is it motherfucker with a m or bitchass with a b?"

Jason: [burst out laughing] oh oh god no- no you didn't

Dick: [laughing] I did!

Jason: [hitting dick's chest] man you're like- little you is my role model fuck I love that

Tim: wait then what happened

Jason: [losing it laughing]

Dick: [clears throat] so then- Jason shut up I'm [laughs] I'm trying to finish the story

Jason: [between breaths] okay okay- wait right I'm fine

Dick: right so after that he gets mad. And is about to say or do something but my robin training kicks and I [holds back laughter] I kick him in the nuts and absolutely dip to Bruce to hide behind him

Jason: [snorts] oh god. Elite robin training

Dick: Right! Make the bad guy angry, remember you're a kid, go hide behind batman. Robin training 101

Jason: [nodding through laughs] yes yes

Dick: anyways after I'm behind Bruce who looks at me and turns from Brucie Wayne mode to batman mode thinking it's a rogue or something

Jason: little does he knows it's a racist motherfucker

Dick: [snorts] right so he asks me what's wrong and I'm half way through my explaination when the guy comes storming up to Bruce to complain that I hit him

Damian: that's stupid. The man should have run when he still has the chance

Dick: [snickers] yeah but I'm glad he didn't because half way through his half assed explaination I'm on Bruce-

Tim: wait what do you mean on Bruce

Dick: I used to climb him. I climbed Clark a lot too. I climb things. It's what I do. Anyways that's not important so halfway though this idiot's explaination I whispers in Bruce's ear "he called me a slur"

Tim: that seems like a light way to put it

Jason: [snickering, shaking his head] no no old Bruce had very little control over his emotions and he had just acquired a little kid who he got unexpectedly attached to

Dick: yeah! He would absolutely beat the shit out of any rogue that got me seriously hurt

Tim: okay so that means telling him that you got called a slur...

Dick: Bruce immediately without hesitation sucker punched this guy in the face

Jason: [laughing] that's perfect

Dick: and it's not just any punch either. It's a full on batman level punch. Bruce had to get his hand bandaged afterwards

Damian: and the disgrace?

Dick: [laughing] hospitalized. Half his teeth gone. Too terrified to even sue

Jason: [on the floor laughing] yes justice! Fuck this is what batman fights for

Comms ping Batman in

Bruce: Everyone, you've all been quiet. Nightwing report

Dick: [still wheezing, dying laughing] i- I'm fine

Bruce: wha- Red robin? What's the status

Tim: everything is fine. Wing and Hood just had a trauma dumping session and are now dying laughing

Bruce: ... I see

Dick: wait wait Bruce- [ taking deep breaths to calm down] do you- do you remember when you punch that guy at a gala for being racist to me?

Bruce: which one?

Dick: you know the one who called me a slur?

Bruce: be more specific

Jason: [cackling in the background] oh god

Tim: how often did this happen???

Dick: okay whatever forget him. What about the fake blonde who always said weird shit to me and jason

Bruce: [grimaces] right. Her.

Dick: [snorts] so much disdain in your voice

Jason: man you really hate her huh?

Bruce: I made sure to have her ruined publicly and banned from everything after the comments she made to Dick but-

Dick: she showed up again. Jason told me. How?

Bruce: [groans] really bad plastic surgery

Jason: ...you're kidding

Bruce: no. She wasn't supposed to be there any time she was with Jason. She only got in cause she got so much work done that nobody recognized her and dated anyone who was invited

Jason and Dick: .....

Jason and Dick: [immediately start laughing again, falling to the floor, wheezing]

Tim: they're at it again

Damian: this is amusing

Tim: not you too

Dick: [wheezing] sh-she came back just to- oh god she was so determined to be a bitch it's crazy [hitting Jason through laughs]

Jason: [hitting dick back] she- she really was crazy. She spent so long to get back in and and to what? Bully a little kid??? [Laughing]

Dick: It's so- this is fucking hilarious

Bruce: if nothing is wrong then I'll be disconnecting the comms now

Dick: no no! Wait i- [choked laughter] I need to know how it went down with her the second time

Jason: yeah! [snickers] please I need that image. Describe it to be, Bruce. The scene, the words, her face, your face

Bruce: ...I'm disconnecting. Goodbye

Dick and Jason: NOOOOOOOOO!

Tim: I hate joined patrol

Damian: it does always lead to some kind of mess

Tim: that's an understatement

[dc-gotham-instincts-wild]

If anyone asked, it never happened.

Jason was not the kind of guy who got all soft just because his half-frozen, sleep-deprived little brother showed up at his apartment during a blizzard. He definitely didn’t let the kid fall asleep curled up against him like some kind of lost little batling.

And he absolutely wasn’t currently curled tightly his baby brother, one arm thrown over the cub, burying his face in Tim’s messy hair, one leg tilted up to create a nook that the younger fit into perfectly.

Nope. No way.

Didn’t happen.

Tim mumbled something in his sleep, shifting just slightly before settling again. His fingers twitched and gripped Jason’s hoodie, fisting it tightly, like he thought Jason might vanish if he let go.

Jason sighed through his nose, tightening his hold.

Hummed low, an old tune, a song Bruce would use to calm them down.

Bruce and Dick were out of town on missions, and Cass who knew where.

So Jason was the oldest for now.

Well.

Maybe he could live with that.

[sophiasrant]

hc that no one on the JL (or any of the teams) will let bats do the heavy lifting, ever

Like one day they need to carry an unconscious Flash after a battle and someone else (who has a broken arm) is like “who is well enough that they can carry him” and Batman, ceo of ignoring his injuries™️, is like “I got this” but his mouth starts leaking blood while he’s carrying flash. Superman (who was holding up a building) x-rays him & is like “YOU HAVE THREE BROKEN RIBS AND INTERNAL BLEEDING. WHY ARE YOU CARRYING FLASH?” “…I am well enough to carry flash”

anyway this applies to all bats. Someone asks if someone else can volunteer to help them lift something and, no matter what, Kon puts his hand over Tim’s mouth bc of the broken leg incident™️. Tim will never even be allowed a chance to make a case or attempt to answer the call.

Someone asks if Robin can help to carry something and Jon immediately replies “no he can’t. I’ll do it tho.” bc Damian once tried to conduct cleanup (lifting pieces of broken buildings and concrete) post alien-invasion with a stab wound (it was multiple stab wounds but only Jon figured that out)

Someone asks nightwing if he can carry stuff to the car and all of a sudden you have eight people shouting “NO” bc he once offered to carry someone’s old 60 pound box TV to storage while he had a gunshot wound. They only learned about the gunshot wound after he fainted & the tv fell on top of him.

Jason leaves before anyone can ask him to help with anything

Edit:

Steph and Cass fight over who carries the thing for the other person, but usually neither of them volunteer. They're gone the second the battle is over. Babs never has to carry shit even if it's a loaf of bread because she goes "wow, really? have the wheelchair bound girl carry shit for you, sure" so the person stammers and she gets away with it every single time.

Duke is allowed to carry things. (Other teams have yet to find out about his injuries.) In fact, they compliment him on being responsible enough to not over-exert himself. He smiles back. (He's trying not to laugh.)

[confused-wanderer]

The villains are utterly confused.

They remember the first robin. They remember how bloodthirsty the little gremlin was, how he appeared out of the darkness with a “HIYA FOLKS” that gave people near heart attacks with PTSD so bad they flinched everytime they walked into a dark corner. They remember his grin, baring few too many teeth with a glint in his eyes whenever the bat wasn’t around to curb him. They remember the death stare, the brooding that made no one doubt this was the Bat’s son. They remember how a punch would land a lot harder than it was supposed to, or the screaming that followed. Oh they remembered him alright.

The second one thank the stars was better. The second robin was giggly. He would hop around town, offering his help to everyone who needed it. Sure he was rough with abusers but hell no one cared about them. Matter of fact, the villains were glad because those assholes deserved no sympathy. They remember his puns, his wonder, his innocence and his spark. They remembered his laughter, his concern - the kind that only comes from one who’s been on the streets. This one was better, and the villains thanked their lucky stars. They remembered him alright.

But now, as the years passed and new characters emerged, the crime city saw the rise of two characters - a sunshine happy nightwing and a ready to kill red hood. And naturally, from their experiences in the past, the villains ended up making an honest mistake that ruined the two vigilantes’ reputation:

The villains assumed the first robin was Red Hood and the other was Nightwing. And BY GOD Gotham has not seen unhinged chaos like this.

SCENE 1

Red Hood *drawing his pistol* : Please, reach for your weapon. I’m itching for an excuse for my intrusive thoughts to become extrusive.

Two-Face: You dare mock me little bird?! Well.. I may not have my weapon.. but I have something I know you’d like..

Red Hood: Oh yeah?What’s that?

Two-Face: TAKE THIS! *slams button and coconuts start falling from the sky, all cracking and spilling as they hit the ground*

Red Hood:

Two-Face:

Red Hood: .. the fuck was that supposed to do?

Two-Face: .. HOW ARE YOU STILL STANDING?! YOU HATE COCONUTS ROBIN!!

Red Hood: The fuck- .. wait did you call me robin?

Two-Face *grins* : Yea.. robin. The first one. Thought I didn’t notice?

Red Hood: The first one? Does this *gestures vaguely to himself and his weapons* seem like something the first robin would do?

Two-Face:

Goon 1: I mean.. yeah

Red Hood: What! The first robin was nice!

Goon 2 *guffawing*: I beg your fucking pardon??

Two-Face: .. you took my coin and attached a magnet beneath it so everytime I flipped it it wouldn’t stop spinning. Do you know how long that took me to figure out?? Do you know how insane it drove me?? Joker had to help me out of pity. OUT. OF. PITY.

Red Hood:

Goon 1: ..Also you did steal some of our bones

Red Hood: hedidfuckingwhatnow-

SCENE 2

Nightwing: Hey there buddy! You look frostyl!

Dr. Freeze: Aha! You are too late to stop me robin!

Nightwing: .. robin?

Dr. Freeze: why yes! Don’t act coy, I know it’s you there. Now that we’ve got that clear.. I was wondering if you remembered all those years ago when you gave me a source for electricity to power a hospital keeping my Nora?

Nightwing:

Dr. Freeze: well you weren’t careful enough and never told me how much I could take from it.. so I used it to power so many of my inventions that came after

Nightwing *remembering when Jason was robin and every damn time he came to visit Wayne Manor his room would always run out power and the countless cold showers in freezing winters he had to take because of it*: .. oh? Well, sorry to break your bubble, but that wasn’t me Elsa.

Dr. Freeze: no? You joke around, make puns and I’m supposed to believe it’s NOT you?. The first one brooded like there was no tomorrow. He pissed me off so bad once I overheard him saying his favourite ice cream flavour and I made sure it wouldn’t be available in Gotham for YEARS. You’re not as bad as the first one. I’d remember if you were him.

Nightwing:

Nightwing *firing up his escrima sticks to maximum voltage*: Oh let me jog your memory then :)
