Welcoming Red Hood back to the Manor…

Dick: You’re our brother, Jason, and you’re a part of this family. Always and forever.

Tim: You know, I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but I agree wholeheartedly with Dick.

Damian: *hugging Jason tightly with all of his tiny limbs, like a snake wrapped around a gazelle* -Tt-

Red Robin: *watches as Superboy lands on the rooftop and walks towards him with a comforting grin*

Red Robin: *internal monologue* The thing is, this is kind of the whole reason you have friends, so you don’t have to do the terrible parts alone.

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.

GCPD rooftop…

Nightwing: *applying a tourniquet to Red Robin’s bleeding leg*

Red Hood: *doing a quick ammo inventory*

Robin: *perched on the ledge, on the lookout*

Batman: Jim. Good evening.

Commissioner Gordon: *lights a cigarette*

Commissioner Gordon: First thing I learned working with your family is that, wherever you people go, threats and bloodshed seem to follow. So, just stay out of the GCPD’s way and try not to kill anyone.


Yeaaahhh… not gonna happen, Jim. Ain’t that what the Batsignal beside you’s for?
