This is basically their teen dynamic lol
I’m half asleep so have a half baked idea that’s keeping me awake
Set during season one of young justice. Dick is just an overall menace who loves to make everyone question everything they know. His favorite topic to cause mass confusion amongst unknowing Justice league members and every member of the young Justice team? His relationship with Batman
There are days where he insinuates Batman kidnapped him off the streets of Gotham.
“He saved me from Killer Croc eating me like a chicken wing.”
“I was supposed to go with the nice CPS lady but then Batman showed up and shoved me in the Batmobile and now I’m here!”
“I was walking home from school one day and he snatched me out of the shadows (he was hiding behind a dumpster).”
Sometimes they act like brothers who can’t stand each other half the time
“You’re such a buttmunch I hate you!” “Literally all I’m asking you to do is shower after training before you come home. You stink, Robin. You’re smelly.” “You’re smelly! Did the bats crap on your cowl before you came here?” Batman’s sigh is long, drawn out, and dramatic. He turns on his heel. Robin sticks his tongue out at him.
“Hey if I get this training sim completed at 100% will you get me Batburger on the way home?” “Fine. Don’t tell Agent A.” “Only if you also promise to get me a milkshake.” “Fine.”
“Yes.” “No.” “Yes!” “No!” “YES!” “NO!” This goes on for three full minutes. They’ve forgotten what they were arguing about. They’re not sure who wins.
Sometimes Batman is such a dad it feels like they’re not supposed to be watching even though it’s in the middle of Mount Justice where anyone can see.
After a particularly tiring mission and the subsequent debrief, Robin leans against Batman and definitely doesn’t close his eyes. He’s just resting them. It’s a slow blink, nothing more. Batman has a hand very softly carding through Robin’s hair, and he’s basically carrying him to the zeta tubes a couple minutes later to go back to the batcave.
Sometimes there’s a new video game out or something that Robin really wants, and he’ll whine and hang off Batman’s arm until he weasels Batman into buying it for him. He has to pinky promise. No take-backsies
They’ve absolutely heard Batman call Robin “chum” in a soft, proud voice that sounds nothing like the big bad Bat they all know.
Sometimes he just says wild shit to send them way off base:
“I dunno Conner, maybe you’re not the only clone around here.”
“He made me by mixing his own DNA with an actual bat, that’s why I’m so acroBATic. Haha, get it? Acro-BAT?”
“He stole me from the circus.”
“He’s actually a cryptid. He asked lady Gotham for light and hope and she gave him me!” “Does that make you a cryptid too?” “I dunno, maybe!”
“I’m his love child with justice.”
He’s only said the circus one exactly once because Bruce told him off for it being too close to the truth, but they did both get a laugh out of everyone’s reactions.
And then one day someone just straight up asks Robin, in front of Batman, if they’re related. And Robin blinks once, twice.
“He’s my roommate.”
It’s said so matter of fact, Robin just shrugs, and goes about whatever he was doing. Batman grunts in a confirmation sort of way, busy looking at a data pad.
Artemis, standing a little ways away behind Conner (who the rest of the team elected to go ask the question), shoves her face in a couch pillow and lets out a muffled scream. M’gann and Conner are confused. Wally is laughing. Kaldur tries to remember different surface customs in when children move out and get roommates.
“Wait but so how old is Batman then?” Wally’s question makes them all now wonder if Batman is even that much older than all of them.
In the other room, away from curious, prying eyes, Dick is smothering a giggle behind a gloved hand and shoving his face in Bruce’s shoulder. Bruce lets his lips quirk up just a little.

Bruce lowered the duffel from his shoulder and slide his arms under his son. “Come on. Let’s get you to bed.”
It was like picking up a broken toy, Damian letting out a high-pitched whine as he was lifted into the air. It was the most childish sound he had ever made, and Bruce smiled as he slung the boy up against his chest.
“‘m not a baby,” Damian protested.
“No, but you’re my baby,” Bruce murmured as he planted a kiss in Damian’s hair.
dick grayson the universal blood donor who will drain himself dry. dick grayson the universal legacy of children in red and green, long after he’s left gotham behind. dick grayson the universal linchpin, that new spot of light in bruce wayne’s life before the bad times, then the worse times. dick grayson the universal constant who will be there in the spotlight, still, reaching out to stop you from falling
Me: yeah I guess I’d admit I’m like slightly partial to Batman if you’re really twisting my arm
Me since the Superman trailers have been showing: GUYS ITS SUPERMAN!!! OH MY GOD ITS SUPERMAN!!!! GUYS!!!!! ITS KRYPTO!!!!!! GUYS!!!!
Nightwing, to his siblings: guyssss killing is like seriously bad :( say no to murder!! We’re vigilantes, not executioners!!
Bruce, vividly remembering the countless times he has had to physically restrain Dick from committing homicide, squinting at him suspiciously: hmmm
Imagine John asking Clark to do a tik tok dance video with him but then Kon sends it to Tim who who shows it to Damian and Bruce and says they have to one up them.
Which because they’re competitive assholes they absolutely do. Bruce would hire dancers, rent out some very fancy venue, and get full lights and maybe even pyro.
Then somehow Clark gets stuck writing a puff piece at work about “billionaire Bruce Wayne and son go viral with elaborate tik tok dance trend” and Bruce has not stopped looking smug for days.
ddddddf
