I am STILL thinking about how awkward any family holiday Tim brings Bernard to is going to be after his beef with Kate in TDR. gay lesbian hostility was real for a moment. they’re mostly fine now but there’s always an awkward side eye every time one of them enters the room. Bernard sadly eats his dinner without salt or pepper bc the shakers are in front of Kate and he doesn’t want to ask her to pass them. Kate stands to watch the TV at one point bc the only empty spot is next to Bernard. Neither will acknowledge the elephant in the room and Tim is so stressed (but also it’s a little 🤏 bit funny)
Nightwing and Robin respond to an SOS for a college party turned hostage situation. Turns out, they didn't even need to show up.
Inspired by this post from @thebirdsandthebats ! Thank you for the idea, I hope I did it justice :)
Nightwing stood over the skylight, looking down at the situation below. There had been a normal college party going on that Tim had told him about, but things quickly went sour. A low-rank villain – some new guy Nightwing couldn’t bother remembering the name of – had attacked the party, taking most of the kids inside hostage. There weren’t many of them left. Most had escaped when the villain first attacked. Those who hadn’t were backed into a corner, huddled together as the D-lister hemmed and hawed about … something. Nightwing couldn’t really make out the words.
Robin stood next to him with his arms crossed. He frowned down at the new villain, sneering as he waved a gun around.
“He really does not have awareness, does he?”
Nightwing knew the question was rhetorical, a dig at the guy in the mask. Still, he said, “Apparently not. Shall we?”
Before they could break through the skylight, shattering the glass and making a grand entrance, one of the students broke away from the pack. Something about him seemed familiar. The villain had his back turned, so he didn’t see the guy pick up a folding chair. He also didn’t see the blonde guy take a full swing at the back of his head. The blonde guy clocked the villain over the head with the chair. A loud clang followed by the dull thump of a body hitting the floor resonated through the warehouse. Nightwing could see a noticeable dent in the chair’s frame. It was partially bent.
‘Damn,’ he thought. ‘That kid’s got a lot of anger.’
Then the student turned, and suddenly everything made sense. He was familiar because he had seen him before. He was the same guy that Tim had brought over for dinner, the same guy that Tim gushed about constantly, the same guy that collected every vigilante in Gotham to go beat up a cult of monsters and their masters just to get Robin back. The same kid – Bernard – that figured out Robin’s identity and loved him just as much as he had before the revelation. Nightwing was well aware, especially given the unhinged glint in his eyes, that Bernard had a lot of pent up anger and was angry enough to use it when the situation called for it… And sometimes when it didn’t.
‘Yeah,’ Nightwing thought. ‘We didn’t need to come. He had it under control.’

Dick in Gotham handling a hostage situation at a local university. Some villain crashed a party in the student apartments and has the whole building locked down. Dick is in there with Damian, and they finally make it to the floor where the bad guy is and they’re having this big tense stand off before the final fight…
and then one of the college students who this guy had huddled in the corner grabs a chair and just fucking clocks this guy. He hits him over the head so hard that the chair breaks and the guy COLLAPSES. Dick is like . Oh??
And then the student turns around (with a truly unhinged glint in his eye) and Dick recognizes him and realizes OH . Oh this is Tim’s boyfriend. That’s the crazy guy who recruited us to go beat up cultists with him. Yeah we didn’t even need to come he had that handled actually
