When it’s your turn to make breakfast at the Manor…

Jason: *assembling veggie tacos*

Jason [to Tim]: For once, it’d be nice to not hear Damian complain about my cooking all day.

Damian: Excuse me, Todd, but every Wednesday you prepare a terrible breakfast and every Wednesday I criticize it. Do family traditions mean nothing to you?

Mornings at the Manor…

Damian: *staring out the kitchen window*

Damian: *grins to himself*

Alfred: Master Damian, your food’s ready.

Jason: No, no, what are you doing? He’s both happy and quiet. It’s like seeing a unicorn and Bigfoot at the same time.

Mornings at the Manor…

Damian: *cutting down animal-shaped shrubs on the lawn with a katana*

Dick: *watches Damian through the kitchen window while eating his cereal*

Dick: *grins* His quirks just make you love him more.

Alfred: *blinks*

Alfred: *continues cooking omelettes*

Jason: *aggressively stuffs his mouth with pancakes*

Tim: *chokes on his coffee*

Bruce: *hides behind the Gotham Gazette*

Dick:

Dick: Someone please agree with me.

Mornings at the Manor…

Jason: *cooking pancakes*

Dick: *doing a headstand and using his feet as hands* Blueberry, Jay!

Alfred: *slapping Dick’s feet away from the kitchen counter* Same, Master Jason.

Bruce: *reading the Gotham Gazette* Hn. Same.

Tim: *pouring a fizzing liquid from one test tube to another* Same.

Damian: -Tt-

Jason: Okay, so the same for everyone, with extra spit on Damian’s.

Mornings at the Manor…

Damian: *walking past Tim’s bedroom*

Tim: *installing state-of-the-art surveillance cameras*

Damian: Drake, are you worried about your safety?

Tim: No. I imagine if you were going to kill me, you’d have done it a long time ago.

Damian: That’s very true.

Mornings at the Manor…

Jason: *brushes his teeth*

Jason: *pauses*

Jason: *exasperated sigh*

Jason [to Dick]: You’re flirting with your reflection again. Cut it out.

And that is why “NEW BATHROOM – Jason” is a suggestion found in the Wayne Manor Home Improvement suggestion box (set up by Alfred).

Mornings at the Manor…

Jason: *scouring the refrigerator*

Dick: *balancing a spoon on the tip of his nose while tiptoeing atop a kitchen stool*

Alfred: *picking up all of Dick’s fallen cutlery*

Tim: *fast asleep and drooling on his pancakes*

Damian: *tossing a “hay salad” for Batcow*

Jason: Ish iz anybody’sh shandwich? Because I’ve eaten half of it and I don’t like it.


You clearly don’t, Jay, based on that turkey scrap dangling from your mouth.

Mornings at the Manor…

Bruce: *picks up the Gotham Gazette*

Dick: *doing pull-ups using the kitchen chandelier*

Alfred: *tugs at Dick’s feet to get him off the chandelier*

Tim: *typing furiously on his laptop, eyes narrowed with concentration*

Jason: *pours a fifth shot of espresso into Tim’s mug*

Damian: *picks bacon off Jason’s plate and feeds it to Alfred the Cat*

Bruce: *puts down the newspaper, buries his face in a hand and shakes his head*

Bruce: Just one question, boys. Do you get pleasure out of humiliating your family?

I’d say stick to the Business Section, Bruce, but I guess it’s kind of hard to avoid the headlines, huh?
