Ground: *tremors*
Red Hood: Did you feel that?
Red Robin: I haven’t felt anything in years.
In which Jason immediately lays down his guns and gives Tim a hug…
Red Robin:
Red Hood: Nothing?
Red Robin: Nothing.

I don’t think Bruce is gonna deal with the kids being weird
Bruce: Hn.
Bruce: Ha. Haha.
Bruce: Hahahahahaha. *wipes a tear away from his eye and sighs contentedly*
Dick:
Jason:
Tim:
Steph:
Cass:
Duke:
Damian: -Tt-
Bruce: *clears his throat, wears his cowl (to complement his pajama bottoms), and goes back to working on the Batcomputer*
Alfred: The apples do not fall far from the tree, @kittyofalltrades .
Which bat child still acts like Jason is dead? I think Jason still acts likes he’s dead. When he wants out of a social situation or just doesn’t wanna interact anymore lol he will just be like “don’t look at me I’m dead, you go get it!”
Tim: *walks into the kitchen*
Tim: AHHHHH!!!
Dick: …?
Tim: *pokes Jason’s shoulder and breathes a sigh of relief* Whew… Okay, he’s fine. I’m fine.
Dick: Uh… Am I missing something?
Jason: *gritting his teeth* It was one time, Tim. One time. And I said I was sorry, dude! I thought you were kidding and I was playing Arkham Knight with Roy and…
Tim: *glares at him*
Jason: *muttering under his breath* … So you really don’t have to keep doing this every time you see me…
Tim: Oh, yeah? Just making sure you remember not to tell me you’re dead next time I’m corNERED BY A BUNCH OF ROGUES AND DESPERATE FOR BACK UP.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
I think Jason’s starting to rethink that strategy, @heisnear .
In honor of Quarantine it means I can walk out wearing whatever I want long as no one can see skin, so I’m going to the store in a full Red Hood costume.
Me [to @thepoolofthedead]: You know, that’s a, um, really convincing outfit. You sure this is a good idea? I mean we are in Gotham and –
thepoolofthedead: *shrugs*
Me: Let’s just, er, keep a low profile, maybe?
Roller skates: *slowing down to a stop in front of us*
Harley Quinn: *squeals from behind her sparkly face mask and holds out grabby hands* If it isn’t my precious Baby J! Okay, NOT to be mistaken for Mistah J, who freakin’ dumped me again! I mean, he just beat me to it! It was my turn – myyyyy turn – to dump his pale butt! *scoffs* Well, you know what, I don’t need him no more, no sireeeee! *pouts* But it got lonely in my apartment real fast… So, what’s a gal to do, right? Figured I’d roll around the streets for a while, find a pal or two… All my buddies refuse to get outta their “lairs” or whatever. Boo hoo! And I was, like, but aren’t we all doctors or somethin’? *lights up* In summary, how great is this? Who’s ya friend? Wanna hang out?
Batmobile: *screeches to a halt in front of us*
Batman [to us]: *rolls window on driver’s side down* Get in. Now.
Nightwing: *on the passenger side* Come on, guys, we’re on a tight schedule. Hey, Harley!
Harley Quinn: *cheerfully* Hey there, handsome!
Robin: *in the backseat, opens the door* Now. We still have to pass by for Drake. It’s gonna take a while to wake him up.
Batman: *narrows his eyes and clears his throat* Harleen.
Harley Quinn: Wha– *throws her hands up in exasperation, pouts, and moves a few inches away from thepoolofthedead* Ya happy now, Bats? Or do ya need to get a measuring stick to make sure I’m six feet away from ya kid?
Batman: Hrn. I told you, until that vaccine comes out of Wayne Enterprises R&D, I don’t want you near my children. Who knows what you’ve been touching.
Harley Quinn: *grins suggestively* Well, you do.
Batman: *grunts* Go home. And stay there. *proceeds to roll window up*
Harley Quinn: In case you haven’t noticed, Bats, I’m immune to most types of – *voice gets drowned out*
Batman: *tosses a Wayne Tech-grade disinfectant at us and activates the Batmobile’s air sterilization system*
Nightwing: *dialing Tim’s number* Alfred is gonna be pissssed. I already got, like, four missed calls. We’re gonna get schooled. Over Dinner. Again.
Robin: *narrows eyes at thepoolofthedead* New perfume, Todd?
Me [to thepoolofthedead]: *whispering* So, uh, should you tell ‘em or should I?
~ ~ ~ 1 hour later ~ ~ ~
Red Hood: *revving up his motorcycle and on the Comm Link* On the way, Alf! Just had to pick up some surgical masks from this supplier I know and drop it off at the Gotham Children’s Hospi– What do you mean I just ate?
When you’re just trying to be Gotham City’s antihero…
Civilian: Hey, you’re the criminal-and-drugs guy!
Red Hood: That doesn’t sound like flattery.
As a kid I attempted to ship my sister to Egypt. Even tricked her into getting into the box. The only thing stopping me was a lack of stamps and adults taking me seriously. How many times do you think any of the BatKids tried something like that to each other?
Me: Here’s the thing… We’re talking about the Batkids here… They’ve got the brains, the resources, the gall, and an adoptive father who’s basically just stopped caring after the nth successful atte–
Dick: *from one end of the hall, talking on the phone* Uh, yes, is this Wayne Airlines? Yeah, I’m calling regarding a box that’s currently on one of your flights. It should be big enough to fit a teenager. Uh, yeah, hold on *covers the mouthpiece* Jason, which flight was it?
Jason: *yelling from the other end of the hall* Over my dead-again body, Dick.
Dick: *on the phone* Yeah, um, can you give me just a second?
Dick: *heads over to Damian on the other side of the room* Little D, come on, I need to know where Tim is before Bruce gets home.
Damian: *painting a portrait of Titus* Two words, Grayson. Social. Distancing.
Jason: *yelling* He’s finally getting uninterrupted sleep, Dickie!
Dick: You can’t keep sending Tim overseas for that reason –
Damian: That’s true, that’s why we send him for other reasons, too –
Jason: Shhhh!!! Alfred’s coming!
Dick: That’s it. I’m tell– *gets tackled to the ground by Damian*
Jason: *picks up the phone* Uh, yeah, sorry about that. Turns out I had the wrong airline. K, thanks, bye!
Me: So, um, yeah, @rosebloodwater .
Tim: *tightening some knots* Just do it, Jay.
Jason: Timbo, you know me, I’m all for pranks, but don’t you think we’re taking this just a tad bit too –
Tim: *fetches some Wayne Tech-grade super glue and pours it on the knots* Far. Yes, exactly. As far as possible.
Jason: When Dick finds out about this –
Tim: Just DO IT, Jason.
Jason: *muttering* I’m telling Alfred this was all your idea.
Tim: *packing some power bars into a Robin-themed backpack* What was that?
Jason: No-thing.
Jason: *sighhhhhhhs*
Jason: *dials a number on his phone* Bizarro? Yeah, this is, um… This am Red Him. I not miss you, too, big buddy! But, hey, listen, I’ve got a favor to ask you…
~ ~ ~ 5 hours later ~ ~ ~
Damian: *slowly opens his eyes, yawns, and stretches his limbs*
Damian: *gets up, grabs the backpack by his feet, and realizes that he’s wearing a freakin’ space suit* -Tt-
Damian: *narrows his eyes at the huge sign about a hundred meters away from him*
Sign: BiZArRO WOrLd
Damian: DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!
Justice League membership deliberations…
Green Arrow [to Batman]: So, you know you can’t trust them, right? You know Red Hood and Arsenal are absurdly, irrationally, turbulently codependent on each other, right?
On the first day Red Hood and Arsenal teamed up (again) to form “Heroes for Hire”…
Roy: Jason Todd is back! Chest bump me!
Jason: You don’t want to do this, man.
Roy: No, I really do!
Jason: It hurts you every time.
Roy: No, I know, but I’m fired up and the adrenaline is going to carry me through.
When you forget to power down your suit and surprise chest-bump your brother…
Red Hood: *kneeling over Tim, slapping his face* Timbo, come on! Come on, say something –
Red Robin: *groans and tries to stand up* Don’t ever electrocute me again.
Red Hood: *yelling to the others* He’s fine!
~ • ~ • ~ • ~
You might want to check the settings on that chest plate of yours, Jay.
Dick: Tim, I have to ask you a favor. It’s about my clothes…
Jason: *from his bedroom across the hall* Burn them! Burn them all!
