No but imagine Dick teaching Damian how to fly.
And not just with the grapple gun through the crisp night air on the gotham streets.
But in the cave
On a trapeze
It would be so monumental for Damian.
Cause Damian can learn to fly with a grapple gun, he can flip and swing between parallel bars and jump across desperate gaps.
But to have to rely on the person on the otherside of the trapeze to catch you.
For Damian to trust that Dick will grab him from free fall and pull him through the air to land safely on the otherside.
That would be so incredible for Damian.
It would take months upon months of trust and reassurance from Dick before Damian even thinks of doing it.
And eventually when they get done with the training and do their first little show for no one but Alfred.
And Damian somersaults through the air and then smacks palms against wrists against Dick.
And Dick holds him. Doesnt drop him for a joke, a gotcha moment to prove you can never trust anyone when it counts.
When instead Dick whoops and smiles and Damian stares into his eyes and sees.
Sees love.
Damian won't be able to help but smile back.
And when Dick looks down at the boy in his arms, at the boy who just trusted him more than he has trusted anyone in his life.
And when this boy smiles up at him as they swing through the air.
Dick will fill with such warmth and pride and love.
And he'll think
God
This is what his parents must have felt the first time Dick performed with them in a show.
And Damian will be cemented as Dicks litte Robin.
His Robin.
And nothing will change that
