When your grandsons, in an effort to step out of their father’s shadow, get an apartment of their own…

Nightwing’s uniform: *splayed on the couch along with Dick’s hair products and smelly socks*

Red Hood’s weapons: *lying in wait for someone to accidentally trip on them*

Red Robin’s coffee: *spilled all over the dining table – which also doubles as Tim’s makeshift bed – and his laptop*

Robin’s pets: *walking in and out of the bathroom, soaking wet*

Alfred: *looking around with a deadpan-but-clearly disappointed look on his face*

Alfred: *clears his throat as he steps over a fallen garbage can on the floor*

Alfred: Who washes the dishes?

Jason: *defensively raising his hands in front of his face* Nobody washes the dishes! We eat the food directly off the coffee table and you know it!

Why it sometimes takes forever for Batman’s sons to finish their meals (much to Alfred’s chagrin)…

Robin: *staring at a utensil on the dining table* All of my instincts and my training are telling me to use this like a weapon.

This is me going out on a limb here and assuming that this family still takes the time to eat.

Nightwing: *shrugs* They need our help, guys.

Red Hood: Yeah, but… This is… W-What if we… I don’t know, it’s… I don’t know. Shouldn’t we run this by Bruce first?

Robin: Ha! Father would never agree, so I say we just go do it. I bet I could get Kent to sneak into his father’s Fortress of Sadness or whatever and find us something that could help us get there –

Red Hood: *holds up a hand to stop him* Little D, I get it. I died, you died, yet we’re both standing here. A crisis rebooting our universe is basically just Tuesday for all of us. But this? We’re talking other universe-universe. Like, an outside-of-our-entire-freakin’-Multiverse universe, like even Mr. Mxyzptlk –

Nightwing: Jason’s got a point. None of us has ever gone that far. We didn’t even know it existed before this message from… @vecino-amigable-aracnido-jr., who seems to be some kind of… Spiderman.

Red Robin: *clears his throat* That’s not… completely true.

Nightwing: What do you mean?

Red Robin: *whips out his phone and scrolls past about a hundred folders full of photos and case files before reaching one requiring a retinal scan to unlock*

Red Robin: *sighs deeply and aligns his eyes to the scanner*

Red Robin: You jerks better promise me you won’t judge me.

Struggling too much? *jumps off the ceiling* then here,have a mazapán *toss one mazapán to each bat kid*

Red Hood: *checking out the mazapán he just caught* What the – *looks up at the ceiling, then at @vecino-amigable-aracnido-jr, then back at the ceiling* Where – 

Nightwing: *grinning at @vecino-amigable-aracnido-jr, impressed and about to bite into the mazapán* Nice landing. And thanks for this.

Robin: *grabs the mazapán from Dick’s hand* -Tt-  You should know better than to just accept sweets from otherworldly strangers, Grayson.

@vecino-amigable-aracnido-jr: *throws another mazapán at Dick, who single-handedly catches it without looking*

Nightwing: *pops the candy into his mouth* That’s only applies when you haven’t tried them, Little D. They’re, as they say, delicioso. Jessica C hands ‘em out during Justice League lunches.

Red Hood: *examining the treat* Why do I feel like I’ve tried these before, but like, they’re called marzap – mirzi – 

Batwoman: *walks out of the shadows*

Red Hood and Batwoman:  Marzipan!

Red Hood: Kate, how did you –

Batwoman: I’m not sure, Jasón – Did I just call you Jasón?

Nightwing [to @vecino-amigable-aracnido-jr]: *rolls his eyes* Don’t worry about them. They’re just having some kind of flashback of an alternate reality or something.  

Red Robin: *slow-clapping sarcastically* Good job revealing our secret identities, team. Keep it up.

Robin: *yelling from across the room* Oh, that one’s name is “Loser Drake”!

Red Robin: Are you done being “mature”, Damian? ‘Cause I really think we should start figuring out what’s what before Batman arrives.

To be continued…

…*looks around and laughs softly* los niños de estos días,I have more candies if you want some,calaveras de azúcar,cacahuates garapiñados,plátanos fritos,etc!

Red Hood: *stuffing his mouth with candies*  Yo sé,  yo sé, @vecino-amigable-aracnido-jr… 

The Signal: Dude, did you just speak in Spanish?

Red Hood: *looks up at him* 

Red Hood: *shrugs, then continues binging*

Batwoman: *fills her utility belt with treats* I’m just gonna run some tests on these.

Nightwing: *smirking, accompanies her towards the grandfather clock exit* Riiight.

Robin: *picks up a treat* Todd, do you have the slightest inkling of how bad these are for –

Red Robin: *grabs the treat from Damian’s hand* Do these have caffeine in ‘em? ‘Cause I could really use some right no–

Spoiler: *swipes the treat from Tim’s hand and is about to pop it into her mouth* Ha! Who’s stealthy no–

Nightwing: *gives Steph a gentle nudge as he walks back into the cave, causing her to lose her balance, then swiftly catches the fallen treat midair* So, we’re in big trouble, guys…

Red Hood: *chomping down on a candied skull* Just tell the Bart *chomp* nort to beer *chomp* surch a killjo–  

Alfred:

Red Hood: *mouth agape, with chewed-up skull chunks falling out of it*

Alfred: And who.

Red Robin: *picking crumbs up from the floor in a panic*

Alfred: Gave all of you.

Spoiler: *slowly reaching for her grapple hook and searching for a hole in the cave wall*

Alfred: Permission.

The Signal: *sneakily kicking the basket of treats under the Batmobile*

Alfred: To have dessert before supper?

Robin: -Tt-

Alfred: *slowly turns to look at @vecino-amigable-aracnido-jr ​ *

Tim: *turns on his boombox and tunes it to an 80s pop music station*

Tim: *gets up on the table and starts dancing the “running man”*

Bruce:

Dick:

Babs:

Jason:

Steph:

Cass:

Damian: -Tt-

Duke:

Alfred:

Tim: I’m rocking so much adrenaline right now! My blood is basically Red Bull!

Alfred: *nods at Jason*

Jason: *tackles Tim in the middle of the “cabbage patch”*

Alfred: *waits for the table to be cleared of his grandsons, then lays out breakfast entrèes for everyone*

Good morning from the Manor!

Robin [to Red Robin]: Father asked me to help you with a non-existent test… ?

Red Hood [to Nightwing]: And Bruce asked me to pal around with you for a “mission” in Ireland…

Alfred: It’s a little “Parent Trap”, young masters. Your father was trying to create some peace in the Batcave.

When you’re frustrated with your seemingly unfeeling adoptive father…

Red Hood: *internally pulling his teeth out* Alfred gave you some tools to be a quasi-human, Bruce! You just have to use them!

Batman:

Red Hood: *externally screams*

Red Hood: Look, I don’t know who this “Jason” you’re talking about is, but it’s not me, alright? There must be, like, a billion Jasons in Gotham alone, so you’re clearly mistaken –

Alfred [on the Comm Link]: Master Jason, this chocolate bouquet on your bed addressed to *sound of a greeting card flipping open* @abundanceofopals, shall I wipe the bloodstains off of it or –

Red Hood: *shuts the Comm Link and sheepishly rubs the back of his neck* Uhhh.

~ • ~ • ~ • ~

He’s blushing so hard that he’s as red as the mask covering his face, trust me. Thank you so much, @abundanceofopals! You have a nice day, too!

Breakfast at the Manor…

Duke: *listening to the birds chirping, the breeze blowing, the grass being mowed by Alfred… *

Duke: *looks around the kitchen suspiciously*

Duke: It’s quiet. Too quiet.

Duke:

Dune: *narrowly misses a birdarang, which hits and breaks a ketchup bottle, and hears two sets of footsteps – one lithe, the other heavy – barreling down the stairs and familiar voices yelling insults at each other*

Duke:

Duke: *gets up, grabs his stuff, and looks up the nearest Big Belly Burger on Waze* Suddenly it’s too loud. I preferred it when it was quiet.

Jason: *turns his seat to face @rayanyamor*And you felt the need to point it out because…?

Alfred: *conficates Jason’s Pop-Tarts and starts passing out plates of blueberry waffles to everyone at the table* Young masters, I implore you to let our guest have breakfast in peace.

Jason: Alf, wha–

Tim: *pops coffee beans into his mouth* But it’s a legit question, though.

Damian: *climbs on top of the kitchen table and brings his face so close to @rayanyamor’s that they’re practically nose-to-nose* What makes you so sure that we weren’t referring to another Robin?

Dick: *walks into the kitchen already eating from a cereal box* Good morning, family! What’re we talking about now? And where’s Dune?

Me: *drags my hand down my face in anguish* It was a typo. A typo.

Thank you, @rayanyamor !

Batman: Alfred, I need a car.

Alfred [on the Comm Link]: Call an Uber.

Batman: What am I? 19?

~ • ~ • ~ • ~

No, more like a middle-aged teenager. (Also, this is Alfred’s version of grounding you for almost dying during your last mission, Bruce.)
