Bruce starts training baby Dick
Teaching him kicks and blocks and all his good good ninja shit
But this child Will Not Stop doing flips
Bruce tries to instil his whole “economy of movement” thing at first
Assumes yeah, it’s circus boy zoomies
They do a couple nights on the streets
Dick’s finally pulling out the quads
(Maybe he did cut back on flips a leeeeettle in training until Bruce shuts up but he is Not leaving this on the table)
Bruce gives him a Stern Talking To one night
🦇: We said no flips chum. No unnecessary moves, it leaves you too vulnerable. What if someone just catches you cuz you won’t stop getting extra air for flips?
Baby Dick just. Stares up at him. Big innocent eyes.
🤸🏻: Mr Bruce why do you think I did not do quad flips in training sir?
Mr Bruce realises he assumed the child was listening to him. Big mistake.
🦇: Why were you not doing flips in training chum?
🤸🏻: Well Mr Bruce my parents always told me to never ever ever do quads with anyone but them sir.
Bruce, always emotionally harmed by Baby Dick’s orphan stories, is more confused
🦇: Chum you are doing them at criminals?
🤸🏻: Yes Mr Bruce because by the time I get to four rotations I’m going faster than highway speeds and I think you need to keep your arms but they do not! 😇
Dick came to Robin with violence and flips in his heart and the joy was a coincidence
