DICK:

  • Him: *claps his hands to get the students’ attention* “Okay, so. It’s your turn to try the moves I showed you. I need a volunteer. Who wants to go first?”
  • Hands: *shoot up in the air before he even finishes saying the word “first”*
  • Him: *beckons a student over* “You.”
  • Student: *approaches him*
  • Him: *chuckles sheepishly and holds up a hand* “Woah there, a little too close. I can, uh, practically smell your breath. *clears his throat* So here’s how it’s going to go. I’m going to tackle you from behind…”
  • Student: *staring at him dreamily*
  • Him: “… and you’re supposed to fight back.”
  • Student: *nodding absentmindedly*
  • Him: *proceeds to tackle them*
  • Student: *melts in his arms*
  • Him: *sighs in frustration*

>>> — <<<

  • Him: *does a standing double backflip, pulls escrima sticks from his back mid-air, then lands lightly on his feet, pouncing on a dummy* 
  • Class: *silent*
  • Student: “You want us to do what now?”

JASON:

  • Him: *demonstrates how to disarm an attacker using a dummy* 
  • Class: *watches in horror as the dummy practically breaks in half*
  • Him: *growls, stands up, then roughly wipes the sweat off his face*
  • Him: *finally notices their shock* “But, you know, it’s, um… It’s just one way to do it. You could always improvise.”  

>>> — <<<

  • Student: *approaches him after class* “Mr. Todd, can I just pay you?”
  • Him: “Well, yeah, these classes aren’t exactly free…”
  • Student: “I mean, can I just pay you to go around with me?”
  • Him: “Uh…” 
  • Student: *shaky breath* “It’s just that there’s this bully in my school and…”
  • Him: “Say no more. It’s on me.”

TIM:

  • Class: *puzzled*
  • Student A: “Uh… This is a train station.”
  • Him: *tossing a blindfold to each of them* Yup.
  • Student B: “Where exactly are we headed?”
  • Him: *listens for an oncoming train* On top.
  • Student C: “Of the train?”
  • Him: *sipping liquid caffeine from a sachet* Mm-hm. 
  • Student D: *examining the blindfold in their hand, confused* “Yeah… I don’t think any of us are gonna get mugged on top of a train any time soon.”
  • Him: *wearing his own blindfold and smirking* “It’s better to know it and not need it.”

>>> — <<<

  • Class: *puzzled*
  • Student A: “Uh… This is a computer room.”
  • Him: *turning the lights on* “Yup. Each of you choose a laptop.”
  • Student B: “What exactly are we doing here? I thought this was a self-defense class.”
  • Him: *turning on the state-of-the-art laptop at the front of the room* “Ever heard of cyber bullying?”

DAMIAN:

  • Him: *drags a heavy crate into the training room and opens it* “Line up. Pick your weapon. Then pair up. Do it quickly and” *narrows his eyes* "quietly.“
  • Student A: *whispering while gingerly touching the tip of an arrowhead* “Is this… kryptonite?”
  • Student B: *whispering back while examining the katana in their hand* “I don’t know, but I don’t think this is gonna fit in my purse.”

>>> — <<<

  • Him: *pacing around the room* “As I was saying, every martial art is” – *does a double take* “Todd?”
  • Jason: *walking into the dojo with a student* “In the flesh. Wassup, little brother?”
  • Student: *points at Damian* “That’s the bully I was telling you about!”
  • Him: “-Tt-”

You know, I’ve read great reviews about these self-defense instructors from Gotham City. But I heard Batman might take you in soon after completing their courses, @prison-mikes-bandana​ . *scoffs* That’s silly.

Jason: *gets up, dusts himself off, then slowly walks towards Damian’s student*

Damian’s student: *backs away, trembling in fear, until they hit a wall*

Jason: *towering over them* “One: That hurt.” *rolls his eyes* “My feelings.”

Jason: “Two:” *breaks the shaft of the arrow sticking out of his flank in half* “I’m undead, not Kryptonian.”

Jason: *narrows his eyes* “And, three…”

Damian’s student: *close to tears, shielding their face*

Jason: *smirks* “Your teacher taught you well.” *pats them on the shoulder*

Damian: “Are you done, Todd? I have a class to teach.”

Jason: *cracks his knuckles* “No, not really. I have beef with you because apparently you have beef with a student of mine.” *gestures to his own student*

Jason’s student: *raises their hand proudly*

The rest of the students: *buzzing with excitement, placing bets*

Damian: “-Tt-” *gritting his teeth* “Can we please settle this at home? I’m kind of busy here.”

Jason: *rubbing his chin* “Huh. Speaking of beef… I could use some of Alfred’s stew.”

Jason’s student: *whispering to him* “Who’s Alfred?”

Jason: *whispering back* “Damian’s kryptonite.” *winks*

Apparently he’s got a better plan, @the-abyss-of-fandoms .​

Foreword: Okay, this wasn’t even an Ask or a prompt sent specifically to me, but I reblogged this post a bunch of times with my own answers back in September 2019 (T’was fun!) and figured I might as well compile them into one post. That being said, thank you to @batmanisagatewaydrugfor the suggestion. (P.S. If you do come across the original post, check out what the others answered. Pretty hilarious stuff.)

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Nightwing: *speaking in a hushed tone* No, no, B, look, just –

Nightwing: *hissing* Will you stop that please? You’re breaking the freakin’ door! You want to buy this nice gentleman a brand new car, is that what you want?

Batman: *snorts, then lets go of the door handle and glares at the window*

Nightwing: There. Was that so hard? Now, relax. As I was saying, once in a while, it’s nice to let someone else take the wheel, you know? To just let go of the consuming urge to control everything and everyone and –

Driver: *eyeing them through the rearview mirror* So, you two headed to Gotham Comic Con?

Batman: Hrrrn.

Nightwing: Yes, yes, that’s exactly it.

Red Hood: *takes his helmet off, adjusts his domino mask, and lights up a cigarette*

Driver: Sir, that’s not –

Red Hood: *blows smoke out of the window and offers him a stick* Want one?

Driver: No, it’s… it’s fine. Thank you.

Red Hood: You seen any penguins around here lately?

Driver: Penguins… Like the ones at the zoo?

Red Hood: *surveying every establishment they drive by* No, no. Suspicious ones.

Driver: I, um… don’t think so…

Red Hood: *puts his cigarette out and flicks it into a garbage bin they pass* Just drop me off at that bar right there.

Driver: Are you sure? Because it says on the map that we’re still half a mile away from The Daily Planet –

Red Hood: *reloading a gun and muttering to himself while looking intensely out of the window* There you are, you piece of filth. Hiding out in Metropolis like the coward that you are –

Driver: *gulps as he eyes him through the rearview mirror*

Red Hood: *hands him a hundred dollar bill, then pats him on the shoulder* Thanks, man. Stay safe.

Driver: *gets a jolt as he hears the back door slam shut* You’re welcome, Sir… Rason Rodd.

>>> — <<<

Red Robin: *wakes up with a jolt* Huh, what, where am I? Who are you?!

Driver: Sir, I’m your driver and you’re in an Uber that you booked… ?

Red Robin: Oh. *relaxes into his seat, staining it further with the blood dripping from his suit*

Driver: *eyeing him through the rearview mirror* Costume party, huh?

Red Robin: *thinking about how patrol went and chuckling* Unfunny clowns, talking crocodiles, two-faced men… You name it.

Driver: Sounds wild.

Red Robin: *yawning* Yuppp yup yup.

Driver: Also, I just want to make sure, because it says here on the map that I’m supposed to drop off you at *zooms the location in* the Gotham Garbage and Recycling Center? … At 2 AM?

Red Robin: Yeah, don’t worry about. *shuts his eyes and goes back to sleep*

At Gotham Academy…

Damian: *glares at the driver through the rearview mirror*

Driver: *shifts uncomfortably in his seat*

Damian: You’re not Pennyworth.

Driver: Uh, excuse me, Sir?

Damian: *narrows his eyes and whispers in his ear* He told me he’d pick me up. So why. Aren’t you. Pennyworth.

Driver: I don’t, uh, I’m not – Sir, please don’t – *shaking, sweating, and about to hit the call button on his phone after keying in “911”*

Damian: That won’t be necessary.

Damian: *gets out of the car and dials a number*

Meanwhile…

Alfred: *answers the phone while chopping vegetables* Master Damian, I understand you’re upset, but it’s time you learned other means of transporta– Oh, oh, my dear boy. No, you were not being abandoned, I just thought – Shh, shhh. No more crying. I’m on my way. *click*

incorrect-batfamily-quotes:

Nightwing: “B-Team” roll call. Hood?

Red Hood: *cocks guns* Here and handsome!

Nightwing: Little D?

Robin: *brandishes katana* Here and crazy!

Nightwing: Red?

Red Robin: *twirls Bo staff* I pity the fool! But also suggest ways he may better himself.

Batman: Hn.
