The world is gold and Duke can't breathe.
He can't breathe.
He was sitting in AP World History just a minute ago.
Was it a minute ago? It seemed like a minute ago but it could have been hours because all he can focus on is that he can’t breathe. His lungs won’t fill and- and he’s trying he swears but he just. can’t. breathe.
And the gold—
-----
Duke's powers emerge.
It doesn't go well.

Summary
Normally, when something really weird happens to the Batfamily, traveling through time or turning into animals or swapping bodies, they figure it out and pretty quickly move back into normal life. (Well, normal-for-them life at least.) But normally, when something really weird happens to them, it happens to them as their vigilante selves at night. It doesn't happen to the Wayne family in broad daylight and in public.
When Dick, Cass, Jason, Tim, Duke, and Damian are physically de-aged and all of Gotham knows it, they must comply with the regulations that have been put into place for "civilians" during this sort of thing. That includes going to doctor's well-child check-ups, and to social worker visits, and, worst of all, to school. The whole thing will be a weird and confusing mess, and everybody is sure to hate it.
(Everybody is sure to hate it, that is, except maybe Bruce, who is more confused than everyone but is experiencing having all his children around as actual children for the first time.)

Summary
So, when he realised one day once he looked down that he was missing his shadow, the first thing he checked was to make sure he wasn’t also glowing. Can’t have a shadow if you’re the light source after all.
Nope, not glowing.

Summary
"You're not the real Robin."
Duke wanted to laugh, because of course he wasn't the real Robin. He could explain. He could chronicle the series of ridiculous events that led to this costume, this building, this encounter; he could beg, or he could bolt. He did none of those things. He didn't even laugh.
He said, "you're not the real Batman, either."
All Duke Thomas wants is to find his parents and have everything go back to normal. Gotham, and its new pain-in-the-ass Batman, has other plans.

Summary
Hal glances over to Damian, who isn’t paying attention to him and instead has his attention stubbornly focused on the sketchbook in his lap as he nibbles on a piece of toast. “Morning, Damian.”
The kid glances up at him with sharp green eyes far too intelligent for a kid his age. “Jordan,” Damian greets tersely. He turns back to his sketchbook, and Hal suppresses his sigh. Off to a not-so-preferable start, then.
Alfred flits away to do some morning dusting, so it ends up just being them two. Hal pushes his food around his plate and thinks about what to say. How do you get kids to like you again?
“So,” he says. “Drawing?”
Okay, probably not like that.
(Apparently, the hardest part about dating isn’t actually getting to the dating stage. It's the part where you try to get your boyfriend's assassin trained, murderous, snappy twelve year old son to like you.
Hal figures this out the hard way.)

“Of course,” Nightwing said brightly. “That’s my baby brother.”

Summary
Kon heard it.
Voices coming from deeper in the mountain.
He zeroed in on the sound, it was coming from… a TV?
“Did one of you leave the TV on?” He questioned.
“Can you check the cameras Rob?” Cassie threw her wig and glasses back on.
Robin just sighed and went back to removing his uniform.
“Is it a leaguer?” Cissie followed the other vigilante’s lead.
“A parent” Cassie cringed as she pulled off her disguise again.
“Ooh, is it a titan?” Bart rocked on his heels already out of uniform and in oversized pyjamas clearly stolen from his cousin as soon as Robin eased.
“It’s a brother.” Tim gritted his teeth.
Or
With all other options exhausted duke is left with young justice to babysit him,

Summary
“Batman, Bruce,” Duke says, starting to get a little desperate, “I need Batman.”
Bruce’s mouth quirks into a frown, “I’m sorry, I don’t know who that is.” Then he adds; “Is he in the Justice League? You’ll have to forgive me, I haven’t been keeping up with them like I used to. I used to finance them, I’m sure if I pulled a few strings…”
“Justice League,” Duke mumbles. To Bruce, he asks, “Is there no hero based in Gotham?”
Bruce gives him that oddly delayed stare and response again, and then barks out a laugh. “God, no. Can you imagine someone capable of managing Gotham?”
Or; Duke gets quite literally thrown into a reality where he seemingly doesn’t exist, and neither does Batman.

Summary
One of the first things Duke always noticed about people was their mouths. More specifically, their teeth. He wasn’t sure why he looked at their mouths instead of something normal like their eyes. He did it anyway.
AKA Duke's fear of laughter and his habit of looking at mouths instead of eyes.

Summary
Jason recognizes the kid on the news, he realizes, when he idly glances up from his book to the TV playing silently in front of him.
That’s not unusual, per say.
Kids from Crime Alley, from the Narrows? They make the news all the time, and he knows, or knew, a lot of ‘em. They’re always warnings, tragic and broken, and even if they don’t use the kids’ names, he can usually recognize the faces the headlines are paired with.
They aren't usually being labeled as "domestic terrorists" on national television, though. But maybe Percy Jackson's just always been an outlier. Jason remembers he was a pretty weird kid, from the very few times they met.

Damian looks down at the discarded blocker in his hand, hiding his face from Jason. “I - Mother constantly told me that I will be a proud Alpha like her and Grandfather,” Damian recounts. “They will both be disappointed in me.”
Damian breaks into Jason's safe house, and, before Jason can yell at him, he discovers that they are more alike than either of them initially thought.
