I imagine that one Father’s Day or Christmas or birthday, the Bats decide to make an album of photos that they recreated from when they were younger. Like that picture of Dick in that little sailor costume that Alfred got him to wear or Jason in the kitchen covered in pancake mix after making Bruce his first breakfast in bed as his dad or Tim in his first gala tux looking miserable or Damian curled up asleep with Ace and Titus on the couch or Steph and Cass swinging from one of the trees in the gardens or Duke in his new school uniform etc. They recreate them in secret, with Alfred helping to keep Bruce out of the way. Steph suggests that they should recreate some Robin-centric pictures only for everybody to get all quiet and Steph to just go oh fuck once her brain has caught uo because the last two times Jason wore the Robin costume is territory nobody discusses. Jason looks at Tim and goes ‘I’ll do it for the shits and giggles if it won’t freak you out’ and Tim agrees though he’s not sure whether Jason has thought it really through, because what about the Joker Incident? But they put on their costumes, all the Robins and Cass in her Batgirl costume, cowl pushed back and take the photo. Bruce loves the album but can’t get over the fact they kept it a secret “you were concussed when we took the picture of us napping at the Bat Computer” Dick tells him, pointing to the picture of a very grown up Dick sprawled on a sleeping Bruce’s back hunched over the desk. But Bruce starts sobbing when he sees the photo of his kids in their first costumes because look at his babies.
