I really like the idea that Damian, raised by Talia ‘sex appeal is my middle name’ Al Ghul.

Does not understand why you can’t be obvious about your attraction towards another person.

You just have to be strong enough to protect it. And Jon being basically invincible, should be just like how Talia knew Bruce would be strong enough to protect himself against the dangers of their world.

So what danger is there? That he can’t protect Jon against, or Jon would be able to protect himself against.

So Damian simply starts copying Talia in her words of love as well.

Damian: beloved, we have been tasked with a mission

Jon:

Jon:

Damian: are you listening to me, beloved?

Jon: oh god I am not dreaming

Damian: why would you be dreaming about getting a mission?

I like imagining that he has now got a rule with himself that he can’t call Jon anything other than his hero name on missions. Because for some reason he seems to be short circuiting every time.

Jason gets more than he bargained for when he ‘wins’ against Dick.

The younger siblings love Jason. Love how he’s ready for everything, has their backs against Bruce and doesn’t scold them for going against what’s expected of them as long as they have a good reason and a plan to back it up.

Not like Dick wouldn’t do the same but he’s the first Robin, and due to his reputation as the ‘Golden boy who set the standard’ - everyone’s wary of how far Dick’s willing to step his toes in, especially at times where he switches between being the instigator and the mother hen so quick it gives everyone whiplash, and always leaves them guessing whose side he’s on.

So Jason smirks everytime they start coming to him for advice or for a place to crash. There’s this pride that fills his chest when everyone’s eyes light up when he enters the room, the quiet fondness when one of them hides in HIS safehouse, or falls asleep in his bed. He’s grinning ear to ear when he watches Tim take a few steps towards Dick, before pausing, turning around and heading for Jason. The victorious feeling in his chest is glorious as he’s glad to be stealing away the spotlight from Dick, sure the first Robin’s probably seething with rage and feeling inferior at them going to someone else.

Meanwhile Dick I-was-an-only-child Grayson is just like “finally I can breathe without fear of setting a bad example AND I get a break from these gremlins I love so much. Fuck yeah let’s go make some bad choices again”

Red Hood, Batman, Robin, and Red Robin stood in front of the charred remains of the former safe house Red Hood had reserved for emergencies.

What once was a nice cabin was now reduced to ashes, burnt wood and smoldering embers. Firefly and Red Robin had fought there, causing the house to ignite and burn down. Red Hood was furious; all his belongings inside were gone.

Red Hood: I bought that house when I first got to Gotham… my books were in there… my snacks… and now it's gone!

Red Hood spun around and stormed after Red Robin, fists clenched, threatening to hit him. Red Robin held up his hands, ready to defend himself.

Fortunately, Batman quickly held Hood back.

Batman: This is not how we handle this.

Red Hood: You wouldn’t let me shoot Firefly, so let me hit him!

Batman: You’re not hitting him. Take a minute to calm down.

Red Hood: Oh my God, why did I agree to help you?! My second house is gone and I have to just let it go?! Fuck all of you!

Red Robin: I'm really sorry, but to be fair Firefly was the one with the flamethrower.

Silence followed as everyone glared at Red Robin, mystified how he thought this was the best time to shift blame when, in reality, it was probably best not to fight so close to a wood cabin when the attacker had a flamethrower!

Robin: Even I know that's not how an apology works.

Red Hood seethed with rage, screaming as he placed a hand on his helmet, about to yank it off and toss it at his brother's head. He stormed off, cursing and shouting into the night. Robin looked at Red Robin and shook his head with an ashamed frown.

Red Robin: Yeah, this is not my finest moment. Should I-

Batman (interrupting him): He will shoot you if you do. Just give him some space.

Fifteen minutes later, Red Hood was sitting alone, staring at the smoldering wreckage of his safe house, refusing to leave.

Batman: Red Hood, we have—

Red Hood (facing away from his father): Fuck off!

Batman groaned in frustration and walked away. Red Hood stayed sitting on the ground, gazing at the night sky, silent and sullen.

Batman: I tried. He’s not going anywhere.

Red Robin: We could call Nightwing. Maybe Oracle could reason with him.

Batman: Nightwing might be our best option.

While Batman and Red Robin focused on trying to reach Nightwing, the bat phone ringing for a minute as Robin quietly. approached Red Hood.

His footsteps were quiet and deliberate, unnoticed by Red Hood.

A side hug, something Damian wasn’t usually fond of, but one of the few people he tolerated hugs from was Red Hood.

He moved close, standing beside his brother without a word. They looked up at the night sky together. Damian removed his eye mask, giving his brother a sympathetic smile.

After a moment, Damian gently placed his arm around Red Hood’s shoulder, crouching slightly and resting his head on Red Hood’s helmet.

He had always been the positive presence in Damian’s life, especially during his upbringing by Talia and Ra’s. One of the few who showed him genuine kindness, or at least wasn’t a complete asshole.

Red Hood (softly, sorrowful): Okay... I’ll go.

Like Nightwing, Damian trusted him and loved him, though he’d rarely say it aloud. It was a small act of kindness, love in his own jaded way. It calmed Red Hood that someone wasn't criticizing his reaction Damian gave his brothers shoulders gentle pats as a silent "it'll be okay, but you have every right to be enraged."

Robin: Good. I was worried I’d have to drag you to the Batmobile myself.

Red Hood (amused): You think there’s a chance you could drag me?

Robin: Yes, I’ve been bulking up. I have abs you see.

Red Hood: I’ll choose to believe that.

Robin nodded, then stepped back to give his brother space. Red Hood stood up, and patted his brother on the head, then pulled him in for a quick brother hug. Robin’s smile, prideful and happy, did not falter.

Batman and Red Robin, observing from a distance, saw this moment, not hearing the conversation, and were surprised when Red Hood turned and headed back toward the Batmobile just as Nightwing finally answered his call.

Nightwing (whispering): What is it? I’m in the middle of a stakeout.

Batman: Oh, um... Thanks for finally answering, but it’s nothing. We fixed it. Didn’t need you.

Nightwing: Is Red Hood okay? What did you do?

Batman: It wasn’t me this time. Red Robin—

Red Robin: Oh my God, I said I was sorry. It’s not my fault Firefly set his safe house on fire.

Batman: You rephrasing that doesn't make it less your fault. You won't be getting your allowance for three months.

Red Robin: Oh come on!

Batman: Stop whining, you will have a paycheck from your day job and this is to help with repairs for your brother's destroyed safe house.

Nightwing: You burnt his safe house down? Oh man he got that when he first got to Gotham.

Red Robin: Ugh, I'm aware! Firefly torched the- Ow!

Red Hood has already approached his family and smacked Red Robin on the back of the head. Robin snickered, pointing at Red Robin.

Batman: Now that you mentioned that Ra's can probably help pay for repairs as well. Red Robin you're paying him back regardless. That's the least you can do.

Robin: You deserved that. Don’t worry, Hood. I’ll buy you a new safe house and replace all the books he burned.

Red Robin: Yeah, yeah, at least he didn't shoot me.

Red Hood: The night's not over yet. I got Robin here to beat you up if I need to. He's been bulking up.

Robin nodded then kicked Red Robin in the shin.

Batman: That was hilarious, but also Robin don't do that again.
