When your adoptive father wants to have a private conversation with a colleague but you’re bored out of your mind and eavesdropping seems fun..
Nightwing [on the Comm Link]: *hanging from one of the ceiling stalactites in the Batcave* His mouth hasn’t moved in three and a half minutes.
Red Hood [on the Comm Link]: *crouching behind the glass case of his Robin uniform* Hal Jordan’s probably got him on hold.
Robin [on the Comm Link]: *sitting inside the dinosaur’s oral cavity* No, no. His nostrils are flaring. He’s pacing like a maniac.
Red Robin [on the Comm Link]: *viewing Batman from his own bedroom via a secret camera he installed on the Batmobile* And he just switched his phone from his right hand to his left hand like he wants to punch someone.

Perhaps because he knew that you boys have been listening in all along? Y’all ain’t slick.
Batman: *discussing the do’s and don’ts for an upcoming mission*
Red Hood [to The Signal]: *whispering* Don’t worry about it, man.
Red Hood: *gestures to his brothers and to himself* You’re kind of like a Robin now. We make our own rules.
Nightwing: *winks*
Red Robin: *grins*
Robin: *salutes*

Bros before… broody, mood-killing, adoptive fathers clad in leather.
At the Batcave’s Medical Bay…
Dick: *gets out of the X-ray area* So, hand-to-hand combat, parkour, jumping out of airplanes, that’s all out, right?
Alfred: *gives him a “What do you think?” look and walks out*
At the Kent Farm…
Damian: *gets a hug from Jon*
At Wayne Manor…
Dick: *receives a text message* Little D: I need help reacting to something.
He’s… not used to affection.
And he couldn’t have asked a better person.

Post-wedding downtime be like…
Dick: *looking on as Selina thanks the Justice Society for attending* That’s funny.
Bruce: *loosening his tie and drinking his third glass of wine* What’s funny?
Dick: She pulls ridiculous stunts and is crazy. She’s the female you. *pats him on the chest and walks away*
Batwoman: *gesturing to a gagged and restrained henchman out of earshot* Would you like first crack at him?
Nightwing:
Red Robin:
Robin:
Red Hood: *steps aside* Kate, please, you’re our guest.

Let no one say that the Batboys aren’t gentlemen.
When your adoptive father’s being beaten up by Bane on national TV and you remember him ordering you to “stay out of it no matter what”…
Nightwing: *holding back angry tears*
Red Robin: *hacking into the satellites to disable public broadcasting*
Robin: *gripping his sword so hard that the handle nearly breaks*
Red Hood:
Red Hood: So what do we do now? Sit around and try not to die?!
Red Hood: *grabs his jacket and storms out of the Batcave*
Dick: *cuddling a febrile Damian*
Dick: He’s just going to sleep anyway, and I’ll keep an eye on him, so you can go.
Jason: I don’t know. It doesn’t feel right just abandoning the brat when he’s sick.
Dick: *grins* Congratulations. Now you know what it feels like to be a parent.
Jason: Yeah. How inconvenient.
Because it’s canon that Dick and Damian have a semi-paternal bond (and that Jason cares about his brothers).
