Summary
Dick trumped through the leaves, stopping his feet roughly. He relished the sound of the crunch beneath his shoes as he tread on the brown, dead leaves before him. He felt rather justified in his satisfaction. After all the world had taken so much from him, why wouldn’t he do his best to crush it in return. The woods were cool and as he went deeper into them they grew darker. The sun had long set, and the sky was quickly vanishing as the trees grew thicker. Wayne Manor was far behind him. He was never going back.
He hated those pristine walls, those old floor boards. He hated the quiet. He hated the stuffy furniture and the rules and the vases and pictures. He hated his new guardian and that… that… Dick couldn’t remember what Alfred was called, but he hated it.
The bag on his back felt heavy. It had everything Dick owned in it. Well and a toothbrush that Alfred had given him. But he didn’t think that was really stealing.Batman Bingo 2020: Kidnapped

Summary
She lets her full smile break across her face, friendly and genuine. Or genuine-looking. She’s never really understood the difference. “Midnight snack. Or four a.m., which is midnight for us. What’s got you all worked up?”
He pouts. “Bruce finished the milk and put the empty carton back again. I swear he literally does this every time.”
Or: Selina goes to raid the Manor fridge for a midnight snack and ends up discovering that she has more in common with Bruce's kid than she thought.

Summary
Bruce doesn't miss the way Dick eyes the cigarette apprehensively, or the way his throat bobs as he swallows thickly. Maybe he should stop this. Maybe he shouldn't, as Jason had put it, goad the lad into smoking by calling his bluff. It's bad parenting, right?
But when Dick narrows his eyes, staring down still at the cigarette like an enemy to be conquered, Bruce thinks, 'nah, the boy needs humbling'.
---
Or, Bruce walks in on Dick holding a cigarette that they all know to be Jason's. But, when Dick claims it as his own, Bruce calls his bluff.

Summary
Clark lay on the sofa letting the sounds of Dick’s breath flood the room. Clark had spent years honing his skills. He used to lay awake at night listening to the farm, the way the horses brayed in the night, the way the wind made the walls creak and groan, the way his father snored every 73 breath. He was good at listening.
He was not good, however, at not worrying. Dick’s chest still rattled unnaturally and his pain was horribly audible. Clark hated it, he also hated he couldn’t stop listening. So he lay on the coach, his eyes wide open staring at the yellowing ceiling. He had known Dick for years, he had seen him sick before and hurt, but this felt so different. It was different because he wasn’t here.
Bruce was at home, and Dick was… Dick was in a crappy rundown part of Bludhaven. And Clark was laying on his couch.

Summary
Bruce couldn’t remember a time before now that his brain had simply screeched to a halt and went blank at the findings on the screen. Never had he thought that what he was seeing in front of him was possible and now that it was staring at him in the face he was stunned into a husk of confused matter.
It couldn’t be. He had to be wrong.
But he wasn’t. He had run the numbers countless times. He was right and he hated it.

Summary
Dick’s cheek smashed against the sharp gravel, Slade’s body pinning him to the ground. “That was hardly a fight at all, kid,” Slade murmured in his ear before he pulled off of Dick, replacing his body weight by slamming his knee on the small of Dick’s spine and keeping it there. “I’m disappointed, honestly. You trying to lose?”
Dick’s fingers spasmed and curled into the gravel in silence, and then, slowly, Slade shifted. Removed his knee. Slade gave a rough, startled laugh as he made the realization, and Dick heard him sit back, then stand.
“You were,” Slade murmured, sounding almost delighted. Or — at least, as close as a man like that could get.
Dick rolled over and pulled himself up, brushing the debris from his face and his clothes, heart jackhammering as he stared Slade in the eye. Dick swallowed hard.
“I have a deal for you.”
Slade huffed, like that was quaint, the corner of his lip upturning. “...A deal?”
“A deal," Dick said quietly. "One year."

Summary
Dick didn’t want to be Batman. This was not a new revelation. However, to his eternal surprise he didn't really mind playing Batman, so long as it wasn't a permanent gig. Besides, it was downright hilarious getting to pull one over on the Justice League.
Or
Dick Grayson becomes the best substitute Batman the world has ever seen.

Summary
The boy glares menacingly at him, but it quickly becomes something adorable rather than threatening. Clark thinks if he squints, the boy sort of looks like those small, viciously angry little dogs people carry in their purses — only with large and distinctly reptilian blue eyes.
"Read the report." Bruce states when he realises Clark is not paying attention to the stack of papers he'd given him earlier, "Ignore him."
"I don't think I can," Clark replies, not even bothering to hide that he's staring at the strange not-human-boy, "He's eating a screwdriver."
"He's teething." Bruce offers in retaliation like it was some sort of explanation, and then proceeds to offer absolutely nothing else.
(Batman is human, Dick Grayson is not. This changes nothing and everything, all at once.)
