At a “field trip” to S.T.A.R. Labs…

Jason: *poking at the reptilian creature on his head* This feels so weird. What does it eat?

Scientist: Oh, just human brains.

Damian: Well, at least Todd has nothing to worry about.

Movie Night at the Manor…

Now Showing: “Under the Red Hood” (2010)

Tim: … Are you crying?

Jason: *wiping away his tears with his shirt collar* What are you, a robot? It’s a deeply emotional movie.


Oh, sorry, did it say “movie”? I meant family home video.

Now Showing: “Under the Red Hood” (2010)

Red Robin: Are you… crying?

Red Hood: *vigorously wiping away his tears using Tim’s cape* What are you, a robot? It’s a deeply emotional movie!

When asked what his spirit animal was…

Dick: I’m like a mother 🐻 –

Damian: *from the room down the hall* Grayson! Todd’s pissing me off!

Dick: When I hear my cub crying, I have to run to him. Now, if you’ll excuse me – 🏃‍♂

When asked what life’s been like at Wayne Manor…

Duke: *clears throat* Well, um.

Duke: *dodges a flying helmet while looking cautiously behind his shoulder at a blur of blue, red, yellow, and green uniforms*

Duke: I only understand about twenty percent of what goes on around here.

Mar’i: *cradling a dead bird and sobbing*

Jason: I’ve been through this before, Sweetheart. When your Uncle Damian was fourteen, I was supposed to take care of his parakeet. It got out and flew into a fan. It was like a bloody pillow fight.

Mar’i: DAAAADDDDYYY!!!

In which Dick (reluctantly) reconsiders caffeine-addicted Uncle Tim for babysitting.

Family Patrol Night…

Red Hood: *lies down on the rooftop and tucks his arms under his head* Tonight is the maginificent Lyrid meteor shower.

Nightwing: *grins* It’s where the Planet Geek passes through the Nerdy Way.
