[on patrol]
Red Robin: [sitting on a rooftop, drinking hot cocoa]
Red Hood: [lands next to him and sits down, pulling out a sandwich]
Red Robin: [holds out a thermos] want some cocoa?
Red Hood: [takes the thermos] yeah, thanks. [offers his sandwich] Want a bite? I baked the bread
Red Robin: hell yes
Red Hood: quiet night tonight
Red Robin: [humms in agreement]
Red Robin and Red Hood: [watches the skyline in silence]
[Nightwing, covered in a slimy substance, flies past them through the air as though heā€™s been catapulted from a great distance]
Red Hood:
Red Robin:
Red Hood: do you think he saw us?
Red Robin: I donā€™t think so
Red Hood:
Red Robin:
Red Hood: we canā€™t all be fighting Ivy, there wouldnā€™t be anyone left to fight the other criminals
Red Robin: thatā€™s a sound argument. Say while we were helping him someone robbed the mayor, then where would we be?
Red Hood: he definitely came from over by the library, thatā€™s way outside both our routes
Red Robin: so we agree that we wouldnā€™t be doing our job if we left our post to help with whatever that goop was
Red Hood: definitely
Red Robin: the mayor will thank us
Red Hood:
Red Robin: [sips his cocoa]
Red Hood: cards on the table- I already robbed the mayor earlier tonight

[mid-argument]
Clark: listen Bruce, I donā€™t doubt that youā€™ve done your best raising your kids but you havenā€™t really given them a clear set of morals beyond the ā€œno killingā€ rule
Bruce: [annoyed] Dick, come over here and tell Clark that Iā€™ve always taught you to be honest and kind
Dick: Bruce has always told me that honesty is the best policy. And that itā€™s important to treat people like you want to be treated
Clark: [pleasantly surprised] really?
Bruce: Iā€™ve always had a clear set of rules in place for my children. Frankly, Iā€™m insulted that you would think otherwise
-years earlier-
Bruce: There are two rules in this house that are absolute
Dick Grayson: [9 years old] ok
Bruce: one; no killing
Bruce: two; always lie to Clark if I tell you to

Poison Ivy: Batman. [sighs] Iā€™m guessing youā€™ve come to stop me from lacing the cityā€™s water supplies with my latest creation?
Batman: [glares]
Poison Ivy: [crosses her arms] even more quiet than usual tonight
Batman: [glare intensifies]
Poison Ivy: [awkwardly] Soooā€¦
Nightwing: [from behind her] Robin jinxed him
Poison Ivy: [startles]
Poison Ivy: waitā€¦ jinx as inā€¦
Nightwing: as in he canā€™t speak until someone says his name
Nightwing: which of course isnā€™t allowed while heā€™s wearing the cape and all
Poison Ivy: so youā€™re going with him to speak for him?
Nightwing: what? No
Nightwing: my wi-fi is down
Nightwing: Iā€™m desperate for entertainment

[in the batcave]
Bruce: [checking off names on a clipboard like a middle-school class trip chaperone] ā€¦Jason, Kate, and Duke. Thatā€™s everyone. [checks the list again] whereā€™s Tim? Itā€™s unusual for him to be late.
Everyone: [looks around in confusion]
Bruce: [sighs] someone call him
Babs: already calling
[tense silence as the phone rings]
Tim: [on speaker phone] yeah?
Bruce: [immediately] we have a meeting scheduled. Where are you?
Dick: [leans forward towards the phone] are you ok?
Tim: [on speaker phone] shit. Look, I donā€™t think Iā€™ll be able to make it
Bruce: [tiredly] why not?
Tim: [on speakerphone] uhmā€¦ itā€™s kind of hard to explain
Kate: [smirking] are you on a date?
ā€”in another part of town-
Tim: [glancing to his left where Bernard is watching an abandoned storefront through binoculars, waiting for Batman to emerge from the hideout Bernard concluded must be on this street from an algorithm he made up]
Tim: I-
Tim: Iā€™m not really sure

Babysitting

Jason: [grabs Damian by the shirt and pulls him along] come on demon youā€™re hanging out with me this weekend
Damian: -tt- I donā€™t hang out
Jason: well youā€™re gonna learn. Cā€™mon weā€™ll play grand theft auto
Dick: [from the kitchen as theyā€™re leaving] You better not play that video game with him Jason! Heā€™s too young!
Jason: [rolls his eyes] yeah yeahā€¦
-later-
Jason: [leaning against a Lamborghini] what was that game Dick was talking about anyway?
Damian: [in the front seat, hotwiring the car] do I look like Drake to you? I donā€™t play video games.

Catwoman: [flirting while wearing a backpack full of stolen art] always a pleasure to see you Batman
Batman: I know you robbed the exhibit. Put it back
Catwoman: [pretends to think it over] you knowā€¦ I donā€™t think I will.
Batman: fine. Just one thing before you go.
Batman: [steps aside to show Robin (Dick Grayson), 8 years old] this is Robin
Batman: heā€™s been asking me to go to the exhibit since it opened but I havenā€™t had the time
Batman: I finally had some time off this weekend, so we were going to attend on Saturday.
Batman: he hasnā€™t spoken of anything else all week.
Robin: [blinks sadly]
Catwoman:
Batman:
Catwoman: [wavering] Iā€™m not going to just-
Robin: [in a watery voice] it was all I wanted for my birthday
Catwoman: [throws her hands up] FINE Iā€™LL PUT IT BACK

Word Count: 7k+ Genre: Humour/Comedy Characters: Tim Drake, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne, Damian Wayne.

Excerpt:
ā€œWe could call in a bomb threat?ā€ ā€œThatā€™s imaginative.ā€ ā€œOk, then we get paintball guns and go to town.ā€ ā€œAlso unhelpful.ā€ ā€œNo, wait! Thatā€™s actually a good idea!ā€ ā€œReally Dick? You donā€™t think people are going to ask questions if the Waynes start literally hunting socialites for sport?ā€

Lex Luthor: I donā€™t do business with Gotham criminals
Black Mask: why not?
Lex Luthor: you regularly have your operations shut down by a 10-year old. And one without superpowers at that. I canā€™t have that level of incompetence in my organisation.
Black Mask:
Black Mask: I feel like youā€™ve never met this particular 10-year old.

Batman: [arms crossed] explain yourself
Robin (Dick Grayson): first off, that switch had a faulty label and there was no way for me to know that flipping it would-

Robin (Jason Todd): -make the vat of hollandaise sauce explode, I mean who even puts a-

Robin (Tim Drake): -mutant jellyfish in a shopping mall?! I had to do something. So maybe I stole a truck to transport the baking soda but-

Robin (Stephanie Brown): -what did you want me to do? Sit back and watch you get your legs chewed off by an alien life form? And before you say anything I know that it was just Mrs Sandsā€™ Schnauzer but at the time I really thought-

Robin (Damian Wayne): -that the waitress was sent to poison you. My actions were justified.

Signal: how come Cass never took up the Robin mantle?
Batman: [without hesitation] sheā€™s not annoying enough to be Robin

A Gotham crook: [bleeding from a leg wound] Iā€™m dying!
Red Hood: can you do it faster? I have an appointment
Spoiler: eating donuts and watching downtown abbey isnā€™t an appointment
Red Hood: it is if I have it in my calendar
Spoiler: a napkin from some dingy bar isnā€™t a calendar
The crook: [incensed] youā€™re just gonna let me bleed out?! I thought you were the good guys!!
Red Hood and Spoiler: [turn to look at Red Robin, who is tapping away on a digital planner]
Red Robin: [without looking up] ā€˜tis but a flesh wound
The Crook: ohmygod youā€™re the worst Iā€™m telling Batman
Red Hood: have his phone number, do you?
The crook: Iā€™ll tell the police and theyā€™ll tell him!
Spoiler: I thought you were dying? Think youā€™ll be the only ghost haunting the GCPD?
Red Robin: youā€™ll live
The Crook: he shot me!!
Red Robin: just walk it off
The Crook: he shot me IN THE LEG
Red Hood: [mutters] shouldā€™ve aimed for the mouth
Spoiler: thatā€™s murder
Red Hood: not if I aim really carefully
Impulse: [in the corner of the alley, on his phone] hi. Iā€™m starting to rethink this ā€œinterning with the batsā€ idea. Can you come get me?

I tag the source if there is one (unless itā€™s a reference or song lyric or something that I expect to be known or easy to look up) but in this case and most of my posts there isnā€™t one. I just made it up
[Caught by Penguinā€™s goons and tied to chairs in a warehouse, waiting for the cavalry]
Red Robin: Iā€™m gonna say it. Shakespeare is overrated.
Red Hood: Ok, first of all: how dare you. Second of all: how DARE you?
Red Robin: Heā€™s boring and Romeo and Juliet is ridiculous bullshit.
Red Hood: Counterpoint. Romeo and Juliet was always meant to be satire and if you read it with the knowledge that teenagers are idiots itā€™s actually a fantastic, mean commentary on teenage romance.
Red Robin: The only way Iļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ll accept that argument is if he was purposefully making fun of a particular pair of teenagers that he knew in real life and ā€œRomeo and Julietā€ was really Shakespeare being petty and mocking his cousin or something.
Red Hood: You- yeah that would be great actually.
Red Robin: Right? Still, my original point stands: Shakespeare is given way too much credit. So he invented some words. big whoop.
Red Hood: He basically invented the English language!
Red Robin: He better have considering the lenght of some of the monologues.
Red Hood: Look, thanks to Shakespeare we get to study dick jokes in school. There are so many dick jokes! How can you NOT like him?
Red Robin: One would think youā€™d be over Dick jokes, growing up in our family.
Red Hood: Well where do you think I get most of my material??
Red Robin: Iā€™ll concede that Macbeth is okay, but the rest of his tragedies? I mean, Hamlet? More like Ham-let-me-out-of-this-AP-English-class
Red Hood: One, that was sub-par and I expect better from you. Two; are you seriously going after HAMLET?
Red Robin: [snorts] Of COURSE you would enjoy a play about a death-obsessed dude with daddy issues and a thirst for revenge.
Red Hood: OK, POINT! But Iā€™m still HELLA insulted. And Shakespeare is a master at exploring the human condition!
Red Robin: [rolls his eyes]
Red Hood: [to one of the Henchmen guarding them] Hey, you! With the ski-mask and bad enough judgement to wear sneakers to a gunfight!
Henchman: Uhā€¦ yea?
Red Hood: Back me up here. Shakespeare is a cultural icon.
Henchman: well, uh, he always kinda bored me in school
Red Robin: A-HA!
Red Hood: Oh shut up. Since when are Penguinā€™s goons the go-to authority on literature
Red Robin: Since Shakespeare gets way too much credit because of fanboys like you.
Red Hood: Says the man who CRIED about the Hobbit movies. Several times.
Red Robin: THEY RUINED IT. EXCELLENT PRECEDENCE, EXCELLENT SOURCE MATERIAL AND THEY-
Boss Henchman: [barges in] what the fuck is going on in here? Whoā€™s making so much fucking noise?
Red Hood: [inclines his head towards Red Robin] Red Robin here thinks Shakespeare is overrated.
Boss Henchman: [immidiately involved] YOUā€™RE INSULTING THE BARD? HE BASICALLY INVENTED THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Red Hood: [mimicking Red Robin] A-HA!
Red Robin: Look, if you want to stan an author who made a comedy about gaslighting and subjugating a woman through marriage be my guest but Iā€™m different
Boss Henchman: Thatā€™s a bullshit argument
Henchman #2 -a woman: Nah, heā€™s got a legit point.
Red Robin: Thank you!
Red Hood: One bad play doesnā€™t mean you can diminish the impact of his work as a whole
Red Robin: Oh CANā€™T I?
Boss Henchman: I will not stand here and see the Bard slighted in my own house- warehouse- whatever!
ā€”ā€“20 minutes laterā€”ā€“
Boss Henchman: -HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Red Robin: SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A SEXIST APOLOGIST WOULD SAY
Red Hood: THATā€™S NOT EVEN-
ā€”ā€“40 minutes laterā€”ā€“
Boss Henchman: SHAKESPEARE SHOWED ME THAT WORDS CAN BE BEAUTIFUL
Henchman #1: I WENT TO AN ALL BOYS SCHOOL!! THEY MADE ME PLAY JULIET DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH SHIT I GOT ON THE STREETS
ā€”ā€“70 minutes laterā€”ā€“
Red Hood: YOUNG LEONARDO DI CAPRIO WAS A LEGIT SNACC AND IF YOU SAY ANYTHING ELSE YOUā€™RE LYING
Red Robin: SO WATCH GANGS OF NEW YORK AT LEAST THATā€™S INTERESTING
ā€”ā€“90 minutes laterā€”ā€“
Red Robin: THE FUCKING BARREL SCENE!! WHAT EVEN WAS THAT?!!
ā€”ā€“2 hours laterā€”ā€“
Red Hood: HE TAUGHT HISTORY TO THE MASSES!
Red Robin: HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO SLEEP IN CLASS WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT IS WHAT HE DID
ā€”ā€“2,5 hours laterā€”ā€“
Boss Henchman: [pointing a gun at Henchman #1] HOW DARE YOU CALL OTHELLO A LI'L BITCH-
Henchman #2: [Hits Boss Henchman over the head with a chair] JUSTICE FOR KATHERINA
Red Robin: [Cheering] GET HIM, SUSAN
ā€”ā€“4 hours laterā€”ā€“
ā€”ā€”The Batcaveā€”ā€”
Bruce: [tiredly, rubbing the bridge of his nose] Ok, tell me again how you managed to escape.
Tim and Jason: [glancing at each other]
Tim: First off, Iā€™d like to state for the record that we had everything perfectly under control.

Jason: what if we did like a big party where we put lots of priceless artifacts on display in cases that are really easy to break into?
Duke: hmm, maybe. But we have to make sure the surveillance cameras are super easy to hack
Jason: well obviously
Steph: I think we should hire that one group- ā€œtotally not working for any bird-themed villainā€ -to do security
Tim: oh excellent plan
Barbara: I still feel like weā€™re thinking too small- how about we invite the heir to a billion dollar company?
Cass: and also a known career criminal
Bruce: [to Dick] what are they doing?
Dick: role-playing as the party committee for the winter gala
Tim: [waving his tea spoon] ok, guys, I just had the best idea, hear me out
Tim: for a theme:
Tim: carneval!
Steph: oooh everyone can wear masks!
Jason: we could make full-face masks obligatory!
Barbara: [in a posh voice while stirring her tea] amazing work everyone, well done

Glad to see you back! Hope life is treating you better, or whatever caused you to take time off has let you relax.
This ask was made a while back and I have a lot of unanswered asks, but I thought Iā€™d start here. Thank you! It warms my dry old bones that some of you have missed me. I probably wonā€™t be as active as I have been; more stopping by once in a while. Reasons mostly being that I now have a full-time job that I really like which means that Iā€™ve finally achieved my life-long dream of being a workaholic. But I do miss this blog so Iā€™ll try to pop back in a bit more frequently.

At the GCPD
Gordon: we still donā€™t know whoā€™s behind these robberies, but we believe thereā€™s a risk of escalating violence so we need to work fast here people
Police officer: how are we supposed to catch them if we donā€™t know anything about them, boss?
Batman: [melts out of the darkness] I can find them
Gordon: [ignoring that three of his officers just flinched and then tried to pretend they didnā€™t] how?
Batman: [still half cloaked in shadow] I have my ways
Gordon: [tiredly] well I guess beggars canā€™t be-
Gordon:
Gordon: are you crocheting?
Batman, in a less growly voice: [covering his hands with his cloak] no
Gordon: [stares at him]
Batman:
Gordon:
Batman: one of my kids is making a family quilt. weā€™re all supposed to contribute
Gordon:
The police officers:
Batman: [still crocheting under the cloak] Iā€™ll find the robbers [steps back and vanishes into the night]
Police officers:
Gordon: [pinches the bridge of his nose with two fingers]
Police officer: [quietly to his colleagues] I bet itā€™s Nightwing

Conversation
At the Watchtower
Nightwing: ok people, we just got a message that the League is coming back in less than two hours which means that we have about an hour to come up with an excuse for every single incident that weā€™ve caused during the time they were in space and 45 minutes to figure out how to hide the giant marmot.
Impulse: his name is Nathan
Nightwing: thatā€™s shockingly unhelpful
Wonder Girl: we could tell them that the UN did it
Arsenal: Which part?
Wonder Girl: All of it
Nightwing: That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard
Nightwing: Let's try it
---Later---
Superman: So, while we were off world the united nations formed a new country, crashed the stock-market, destroyed five buildings in downtown San Francisco and "supersized a marmot"?
Wonder Girl: [stone-faced] Yes.
Impulse: Also the other things
Red Robin: They really took advantage of the fact that you weren't here
Batman: [Squints suspiciously at the part of the world map that now includes the country "United Republic of Nonya"]
Nightwing: [sweating nervously] So enough about Nathan- I mean us, how was your trip? Did you... did you meet any nice aliens or...?
Batman: What does "Nonya" mean?
Wonder Girl: [quietly] shit
Red Hood and Arsenal: [with glee] NONYA-
