Summary
Jason doesn't move from Bruce's side until the man opens his eyes seven hours later. He did it once before, but was fast asleep before anyone could say anything. This time, Jason watches his fingers twitch, then as a grimace stretches across his face.
Finally, dazed and scared, Bruce blinks up at him, “Jay?”
Jason holds onto his hand, and squeezes, “Yeah. I'm here.”
(Bruce returns from the kind-of dead and Jason takes it upon himself to pick up the pieces.)

Summary
“I haven't seen this many stars since I was a child,” Damian mumbles, his ice cream melting over his wrist, not that he seems to notice or care, “Gotham's too dark to see them.”
Despite the unofficially decided rule to steer away from the obviously sore topic, Kitty can't help but ask, “Is the rest of your family still in Gotham?”
“Some of them,” Damian answers after a beat.
“You should bring them here,” Kitty whispers back, “Show them the sky.”
(Many years later, Damian buys a farm far away from Gotham.)

Summary
Bruce turns the safety back on, but he doesn't put down the gun. Instead, he keeps it in the air, aiming it steadily at the spot he'd just shot at. Despite the mannequin being very much not real, Bruce watches it warily, like it's going to pull out its own weapon in retaliation.
“Look closer,” Bruce says quietly.
Jason frowns, following the invisible red dot at the muzzle of the gun. He has to squint for a moment, trying to work out where in the stuffied body of the mannequin the bullet would've hit, until he realises where Bruce is aiming. Dread fills his gut, an irrational and inexplicable pool of fear congealing disgustingly in every empty crevice of his body.
Bruce is aiming for the head.
(When Jason is thirteen, Bruce teaches him how to shoot a gun.)

Summary
"Come on," the boy whispers pleadingly, holding up what looks like a half eaten apple in an attempt to coax Ace out of her pen, though it seems to no avail. She stands with as much indifference and care as a brick wall.
Bruce, who's been around for enough decades that he thinks he might be constituted as old by mythological terms, has never had someone outright try to rob his horse. His armour, sure, sometimes even his weapons and bags — though no one makes it very far on broken legs with either.
But his horse?
It's so bizarre, in fact, that Bruce can't stop the bubbling laughter rip out of his throat.
(A young Jason Todd tries to steal the Bat's horse.)

Summary
‘Plan?’ Bruce asked by first moving his hand to the area near the corner of his left eye where it met his nose. He lightly scratched the area with his left pointer finger before moving the hand up to tap his temple with the same finger and lifted his right brow for a brief moment. He was way too done and tired to really think up a plan himself. ‘Lex?’ he inquired, swiping across his lips with his right thumb from right to left, then raising his right eyebrow once again.
Lex tapped his temple twice with his right pointer and middle finger before clenching his left hand slightly into a fist before quickly releasing it and splaying all five fingers like he was reenacting an explosion. ‘Bruce, distraction.’
Featuring: sleep deprived Brucie Wayne gaslighting and girlbossing his ass off; everyone being weirdly nice and cuddly I have no idea how that happened fr; "don't underestimate the importance of BODY LANGUAGE, HA!"; and some BomBasTic SiDeEyE from the Justice League
