Summary
Dick Grayson was going to die. Not metaphorically—actually die. Torn to shreds in the worst possible way, brought back to life just so Bruce Wayne could kill him all over again.
The moment he found out Robin had managed to blow Batman’s secret identity in the dumbest way imaginable —yeah, that would be the end of Dick Grayson.
Or: One mistake.
One night of blood, chaos, and one too many bad calls—
Now there’s a new member in the family,
and the city is about to learn who’s behind the cowl. -

Summary
Alfred handed Bruce the full tray—the man had been wandering uselessly around the kitchen, and Alfred already had enough on his plate. The last thing he needed was for Bruce to burn the food or make a mess.
“Would you mind taking this to the living room, sir?”
Bruce let out a small chuckle and sat down at the kitchen table.
“Alfred, there are four hungry men in that room."
This man was once famous for his reckless bravery. Seeing him now, too afraid to walk into a noisy room without Alfred, left the old man not just worried, but quietly startled.

Summary
Bruce Wayne prided himself on raising detectives.
It had seemed like a good idea at the time: train his boys to read people, analyze evidence, stay ten steps ahead. A family of sharp minds and sharper instincts.Now, staring at the four of them lined up in front of him—calm, collected, infuriatingly smug—Bruce realized his mistake.
He hadn’t raised sons. He’d raised opponents.

Summary
"Fine. Get back upstairs,” Bruce said, voice like gravel. “And you will write me an essay. Three pages. Handwritten. Titled Emotional Volatility and the Importance of Keeping Your Hands to Yourself.”
Only Batman could say a sentence like that with a straight face. Only a Robin could flinch like he’d been punched hearing it.
“ Due by tomorrow. Before breakfast. “
Jason nodded.
Subtle. Slight. But a nod.
Aka: Jason’s on bed rest. Bruce is done being patient. One of them is about to lose.

Summary
“The analysis is complete. The bottle residue and samples we collected all tested positive for norovirus RNA—or, as it’s more commonly known, stomach flu.”
“Jesus take the wheel…” Timothy says under his breath, ducking his head and tapping his fingers to his forehead, chest, and each shoulder in the sign of the cross.
Damian rolls his eyes. “Aren’t you Jewish, Drake.”
“I am an immunocompromised agnostic who just sat through a four-hour stakeout with three people who are now puking their guts up,” he bites back. “I will take anyone who’s listening.”
Richard gives a weak snort. “So this is a literal Hail Mary?”
Timothy glares back. “You can shut up.”
—
In the case of Bats vs. Stomach Bug, there can only be one victor.
