Summary
It all started with a driver’s license, a rope, and two empty boxes of firecracker popsicles.
It ended an hour later with a broken arm, a confiscated mustang convertible (with a freshly dented driver’s side door), and a threat to ruin the summer just one day into summer break.

Summary
“Cassie, you gotta get up, we’re sneaking out,” he singsongs, waggling his eyebrows until she groans and tries to roll over. An exasperated sigh leaves him, “See, we thought you’d say that.”
With as much care as possible, Cass is unburied from her blankets and pulled onto her brother’s hip (“Be careful with her cast, Jay–” “Shut up, Timbit, her leg’s fine.”), her arms snaking around his neck and head drooping on his shoulder. “C’mon, little bat. The four of us are going to 7/11 while Dick and Damian are setting up in the backyard. We gotta get supplies.”

Summary
He’s been hanging here for almost twenty hours now, just watching them hurt her. If it weren’t for the gag in his mouth, he’d be biting and taunting, anything to get them to focus on anything but Cass, but he can’t work the damn rag out. She hangs just across the room from him, every once in a while being dragged out of sight where he can only rely on the splashing and gurgling to tell him that they’re trying to break her by drowning her in the rotting bathtub off the living room, but she always comes back to that hook. And he can’t see her eyes, but he can feel her gaze on him the whole time.
It’s killing him.

Summary
Imogen Evans is a 22-year-old registered nurse in Gotham thanks to an accelerated program funded by Wayne Enterprises for a city always in need of more medical staff. Imogen is overworked, stressed, avoiding her past, and recently found out she’s pregnant, but she’s got a roof over her head so that’s something.
Her already rather chaotic life gets turned upside down when Red Hood breaks into the clinic one night, bleeding and concussed and definitely in need of serious medical attention. It’s not long before certain bats and birds well-known in Gotham start showing up. And since Imogen took off Red Hood’s helmet so he could, you know, breathe, she happens to now know that Red Hood is Jason Todd, part of the Wayne family. And when you start comparing Waynes to vigilantes, things add up.
Imogen finds herself being absorbed into the Bat Family when they begin regularly visiting with minor wounds since she stocks lollipops and fun band-aids. Soon she starts spending time at the Wayne Manor, especially after patrols. Also, she and Jason keep circling each other, teasing and sarcastic and drawn together.
tl;dr : The Batfam gets a new medic, and Jason is accidentally falling for said medic.

Summary
The Bat Family interacts with their newest and youngest member, a five-year-old girl named Delaney who Jason has practically adopted.
Latest:
The sound of light footsteps, someone trying to be sneaky without yet having been taught to do so, was accompanied by the swish of a layered tulle tutu. Bruce glanced up as a curly chestnut ponytail disappeared behind the other side of the desk. In the doorway, Ace sat patiently, watching Alfred’s secret weapon as she made her way around the side of the desk.
Bruce pretended to still be engrossed in writing emails. It gave Delaney the chance to spring out and strike a pose.
“Surprise, it’s me!”
“Whoa,” Bruce said, leaning back in his chair, going through the motions of looking startled. “Where’d you come from, jellybean?”
“I snuck in through there,” she said, pointing back at the door and Ace. She skipped forward and leaned against the arm of his chair. “Whatcha doing, B?”

Summary
Jason did not intend to adopt a five-year-old, but sometimes you’re offered a dino-shaped chicken nugget by a lonely kid and you wind up traveling down the path least expected. While he has serious doubts that he’s going to be any good at this, he’s going to try. Jason is absolutely unintentionally following the Wayne family tradition, with the help of said family.
