The batkids have an alert system for when Hal gets home from green lantern-ing around across the galaxy. It has gotten elaborate overtime, the longer Hal and Bruge have been dating.
Now it has these several modes:
don't be too loud around the bedroom wing; Hal's probably space-lagged af, he might cry in frustration if woken up or actually just punch you in the throat
but after he takes a long nap, be warned of cuddles!! he will be very affectionate to everyone, especially Bruce, but nothing untoward. prepare your life updates list because he WILL want to hear how you've been since he was home
and Hal will likely insist on cooking nice because he feels bad for being away so much, and might even have souveniers
🟡 = Hal is back but on duty
shit might go down so wait if it's a distress call or what
unlikely to need just the family's help, be on guard
Dick's side note: if Hal gives specific instructions on what to do, follow it. we do not fuck with outer space and no one wants to deal with an Oan delegation being sent to gotham specifically. freaky fuckin smurfs
🟠 = Hal is back after a very rough mission
likely came back injured and maybe more space lagged than usual. do not be loud or cook strong smelling food for the next 48 hours.
Cass' side note: might forget where he is or what your name is, but will say yes to anything you ask of him 100% in the first 36 hours
🔴 = Hal is back, he and Bruce had a bad fight
did it happen before or after Hal left for the mission? doesn't matter. stay CLEAR of them actually
Hal might eventually fuck off to Coast City instead of staying in the manor
Jason's side note: it's like their divorce arc all over again istg
Tim's side note: if you see them cuddling despite clearly being angry with each other, don't ask why or else you WILL be subjected to being a jury to their fight. they still miss each other, they're just being idiots about it
🔵 = Hal is back, upset about something
if you want to see him, check if Hal is okay with comfort or company or both
otherwise, he prefers just having Bruce around. too many people makes him feel too much
very low energy Hal, maybe lower than normal. do not point out if he's crying, it will make it worse
Damian's side note: let Alfred the Cat in the room if he is pawing at the door to Hal. Hal likes the cat
🟣 = Hal is back after a mission that went for longer than it should've
they typically have a penthouse for reunions, if so, do not try to intrude there
but if they're in the manor, do not come to the manor
i repeat: IF THEY'RE IN THE MANOR, DO NOT COME TO THE MANOR
Alfred and all pets must be evacuated. a clean up crew must be on stand by after 96 hours have passed. and a physical therapist, probably.
if you must come over, DO NOT TOUCH ANY SURFACE IF POSSIBLE
STAY AWAY FROM THE MASTER BEDROOM
do NOT make eye contact. do not stay for dinner. DO NOT. they're gonna be disgustingly in love, and they're gonna have marks on every part of their body. they will have hickeys in places you didn't think were possible to have hickeys on.
if you discover that Hal has somehow grown a beard, don't even enter the property. warn the others. you dont have a home anymore.
