Mornings at the Manor…

Bruce: Good morning, everyone!

Alfred:

Dick:

Jason:

Tim:

Damian:

Bruce: *sits down on the kitchen table, pours himself a cup of coffee, and picks up the Gotham Gazette*

Jason [to Tim]: *whispering* Ah, crap. He’s in love again.


Because a cheerful Bruce is a suspicious Bruce. (And that might have something to do with a certain, um, Cat.)

Mornings at the Manor…

Damian: *preparing his dental hygiene paraphernalia*

Jason: *standing in front of the mirror, peeling dead skin off himself*

Damian: Gross, Todd!

Jason: Hey, Little D! Want some double-dead beef jerky? *tosses the skin at Damian*


And the ensuing destruction of Wayne Manor property has forced Bruce to have two separate bathrooms constructed.

Mornings at the Manor…

Alfred: *decorating pancakes with whipped butter and blueberries*

Dick: *eating cereal while doing a one-armed handstand*

Jason: *throwing bacon bits at Dick’s face*

Tim: *enters the kitchen*

Damian: What’s that smell? *sniffs the room*

Everyone else: *stops to sniff* 

Damian: Smells like sweat and anger and shame.

Tim: *with dark rings under his eyes*

Tim: *pours coffee onto the wrong end of his mug*

Tim: *sighs* Yep.

So, I’ve decided to add a new tag to some of my posts (see title above). I’ve been using it as a header quite a bit and figured I might as well make it into a tag.

In my mind, the Batfamily’s just as domestic as any of us in the AM (except for the fact that they’ve probably just gotten home a few hours before breakfast, bruised and bleeding, perhaps high on painkillers, after having taken down a vast criminal empire or threat from another planet or something).

So, yeah. “Mornings at the Manor”. My dream sitcom.

(Winter) Mornings at the Manor…

Damian: *takes a sip and grimaces*

Damian: What did you make this hot chocolate with? Crap?

Tim: *sighs* If you want me to make you another one, just say so.

Damian: I just thought you would make it with milk, Drake. Instead of crap.


Damian, here on Earth we say “Thank you”.

Mornings at the Manor…

Dick: *staring at his cereal bowl*

Dick: Timmy! There’s a message in my Alphabits! It says, “Oooooo”!

Tim: Dick, those are Cheerios.

Go back to sleep, Dick. You clearly need more of it.

Mornings at the Manor…

Tim: I don’t have post-traumatic stress! I have post-traumatic ennui! Post-traumatic defeatism! Post-traumatic “What’s the point?”!


Jason was just asking if you wanted more sugar for your coffee, sweetie…

Mornings at the Manor…

Dick: *scouring cabinets for the last box of Lucky Charms*

Jason: *sipping tea*

Tim: *working on his laptop, half a waffle hanging from his mouth*

Damian: *enters the kitchen looking solemn*

Damian: Drake. I need you to teach me how to be… a douchebag.

Dick and Jason:

Tim:

Tim: Let’s get started.

Tim and Damian: *walk out of the kitchen*

Jason: What is happening in the world?

Mornings at the Manor…

Jason: Lotus Bear Relax! I can smell it on you right now!

Tim: Stop smelling my hair!

Jason: You know how much that stuff cost?

Tim: I didn’t use your conditioner!

Jason: Then why does your hair look so baby soft?!

Mornings at the Manor…

Tim: *wakes up, yawns, stretches, sees “3:30” on his phone clock*

Tim:

Tim: Uh. What are you doing here?

Roy: *bruised, bloodied, in a tattered Arsenal uniform, and perched on the window sill*

Roy: Your brother’s gonna wake up mad at me. When he does, be sure to remind him who his best friend is.
