    Summary

    “You’re doing it again,” Bruce says, tone accusatory. “You’re faking.”

    “It’s not faking,” Dick snaps, a little more aggressive than he means to be. But he doesn’t like that word, doesn’t like the connotations.

    (Especially when he knows Bruce is lying about something, too.)

    “Then what is it?”

    “It’s called being charming and it’s nice.”

    -_-

    Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete.

    Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.

    Summary

    There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him.

    Who was this Nightwing, anyway?

    Summary

    "How old are you anyway?"

    Bruce smirks a little, “Pretty old.”

    “How old am I?” Dick rephrases the question. Realistically, given the lines on Bruce's face and the grey in his hair, he has to be more than a decade or two in the future. But, well, Dick's still reeling from being twelve. He can't begin to imagine a world where there's anything past tomorrow.

    Bruce's smirk sinks a little, but not quite to a frown. It's a distant smile, fighting through the shadows of whatever it is Bruce sees when he looks down at him. In a quiet, mournful tone, he says, “Not that old. Not old at all.”

    (A young Robin and Nightwing swap places; Batman is always the constant.)

    He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”

    Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.
