Dick does this thing. Think of it as a game, mostly for himself. Where if more than one of his siblings are in a room together he will close his eyes, and count down. Could be from 10, or 5 or 3 depends on who is there, how many people, or what type of chaos he wants. And whoever he locks eyes with first is his target.
As soon as he closes his eyes all truces and bets are off. No honor no loyalty no mercy. Everyone will immediately start grappling with each other because leaving is not an option you stay in the trenches with all the other soldiers. People are tossed towards him as a sacrifice. People are used as shields to hide themselves, if you try to run you will be dragged back by the ankles and headlocked in front of him as tribute. There is screaming, threatening, and pleading because it is a fight of life or death and they act accordingly.
He doesn't do it often because the risk of injury is real in a house of competitive vigilantes and he doesn't want to start fights. But every now and again he will close his eyes and before he even breathes in to count everyone is throwing hands grabbing each other scrambling to throw someone else under the bus. And you bet your ass everyone else is staying to watch the show when his target is locked.
Tim failed to throw Jason in front of him during the skirmish, Jay is cheering and throwing commentary from the sidelines. Damian pulled Stephs hair in an attempt to escape, she is taunting him from a safe distance and keeps telling Dick to go for the finishing move. Duke who has held a grudge against Jason for Months bc he refused to explain what was happening the first time he saw Dick start counting down and let Duke take the fall? He is taunting Jason and yelling about how much he deserves this. Tim knocks Bruce's coffee over in an attempt to escape the room and he is promptly dragged right back and handed to Dick kicking and screaming.
HEART ANON IM OBSESSED WITH THIS
the grappling and the sacrifices omg sdjfhjsdf and OF COURSE if you try to run youre gonna be the sacrifice, its only fair lol
and of course staying to watch the person who tried to sacrifice you get wrecked and teasing them the whole time sdjkfhdsf i love that
i love the idea that Bruce is here/gets involved too lol like -- what if one time they all teamed up when Dick did this to wrestle Bruce in front of Dick so HE was the wrong seen first? would Dick actually manage to tickle this sacrifice? or would Bruce turn it around and show his eldest who the Real tickle monster of Wayne Manor is?
