Dick: *decides to move on from being Robin and become Nightwing* 

Bruce: Is there anything I can say?

Dick: You can give me your word that you’ll be just as hard on my successor as you were on me. 

Bruce: You have my word.

In the Batmobile, heading home…

Batman: How long until we intercept Alfred?

Nightwing: Three minutes.

Batman: We run every red light.

Meanwhile, at the Manor…

Alfred: *preparing to make the dreaded cucumber sandwiches as a post-patrol snack *

HOSPITAL PATIENTS:

Dick: 

  • “Oh, those glass shards on my back? I get them all the time. No biggie. Hey, do you guys serve cereal?”
  • The staff love checking him ou – er, checking up on him.
  • Regales them with stories of past injuries, which none of them can believe are even possible (”Then how are you still alive?”)

Jason

  • Fake ID (since, you know, legally dead and all)
  • Wheeled into the hospital room by 5 AM, out through the window in a hospital gown and onto a waiting motorcycle by 5:15 AM  

Tim: 

  • Double-checks every diagnosis and every medication and cross-references them with similar cases in the city (and occasionally schools whomever is unfortunate enough to check up on him)
  • Who knows how pure liquid caffeine got injected into his IV bottle?

Damian:

  • “You call this food? My father will buy this place!”
  • Physical examination? You might as well put your hand inside a Tasmanian devil’s tunnel.

DANCE INSTRUCTORS

Dick

  • A lot of different styles, but mostly contempo or jazz
  • Daily outfits range from booty shorts to harem pants
  • Mind-blowing fluidity (and that he’s so easy to look at and utterly approachable is just the cherry on top)

Jason

  • Capoeira (or any style that’s close to a martial art)
  • Free sessions especially held for street kids (with Batburger meals on his tab if they choose to hang out afterwards)
  • Encourages students to embrace their individuality in self-expression

Tim

  • “I said a hip hop, hippie to the hippie, the hip, hip a hop, and you don’t stop, a rock it out”
  • Co-instructs with Cass, who’ll teach ballet from time to time
  • Makes sure to emphasize discipline as much as he does fun

Damian

  • Traditional dances from all over the world (like the Arabian Dabke) – recital-level costumes included
  • Yoga as warm-up (preferrably the one that involves goats)
  • “Water breaks are for the weak”

Who teaches pole dancing?

Alfred: *referring to a dusty pole dancing kit that he just retreived from the ancient Wayne Manor attic* Master Bruce, where would you like this installed?

Bruce: Hn. The training room.

Alfred: *wistful* What were you, 18? 20? I forget.

Bruce: It’s been a while, yes. And it’s time my children learned how to use it, too. The skills are definitely transferrable to combat.

Alfred: Well, I’m certain Master Dick has an idea, but carry on. And, please, keep it decent.

Who, indeed, @dead-birbs-tell-no-tails .

When you realize that little Robin’s not so little anymore…

Damian: I was going to spend the night with my special little lady –

Dick: *falls off the chandelier he was dangling from*

Jason: *chokes on the cigarette he was about to light up*

Tim: *wakes up*

Alfred: *accidentally pours tea on Tim*

Bruce: *freezes up*

Damian: – but she’s got worms and I had to take her to the vet.

Bruce, Alfred, Dick, Jason, and Tim: *collective sigh of relief*
