Summary
“There is no way,” Jason said, “That this is Dickwing.”
The child in Bruce’s arms glared at him, a fierce expression for such a little itty-bitty thing. Another point in the “this random child with black hair and blue eyes is not Dick” column. Dick, from the stories Jason remembered getting out of Bruce and Alfred, hadn’t been this small.
“Jason,” Bruce replied, tone a bit harsh. He’s stressed. Jason’s supposed that was a point in the “Dick was turned into a literal child” column.
Or: after a run in with magic, Dick is left as a child. No one is having a fun time, who knew Dick liked to hide from everyone constantly?

Summary
Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.
From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.
The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.
All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.
Bruce couldn’t let that happen.
Not then, not ever again.
-🦇-
Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.

Summary
Looking forward, Wally pauses. He's standing, somewhere in a battleground. He has no idea how he got here.
Taking a breath, just like Dick and Bruce and Barry tell him to, he looks around to gather information.
He squints his eyes suspiciously at a group of costumed people fighting an alien looking person (creature? Is that alienphobic?) and confiscating a weird looking gun. He recognizes Superman and Wonder Woman from the Batcomputer and the News, though quite a few others look unfamiliar to him.
Seeing a flash of red, he quickly reprimands himself for not self-checking before realizing that he isn't hurt. He's just wearing Flash Red instead of Kid Flash Yellow.
Taking a stuttering breath, he closes his eyes and prays that his uncle is simply on a break for some reason before putting that entire part of this situation in a box in the back of his mind to not be opened for the time being.
He feels a tap on his leg and flinches as he looks down to see… Batman.
A very small Batman in front of him.
Setting a hand out, he asks softly, "B? Is that you?"

Summary
“The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”
“Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”
Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.
“You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”
“You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.
“No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”
Jason bluescreened.
(Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)

“Dick,” Jason said, very seriously, “Does Bruce know Damian is your son now?”
Dick sputtered, looking up at him with wide eyes. “Jay, where the did that come from?”
“You just called the brat a sugar snap and he didn’t even try to stab you.” Jason deadpanned. “Your fridge is literally covered in his art. He just went into yours and Wally’s room like a kid who threw up and wants cuddles.”
Dick huffed.
Or: 5 times someone realized that Damian was Wally and Dick’s son, and 1 time they made it known.

Summary
“I could have taken care of them alone,” says the guy he just saved, finally coming out in the light to watch the last of the gang scramble away as fast as he could. “But thanks.”
Jason turns, a quip ready on his lips, but his breath gets taken away by the unexpected sigh.
Because, right here in front of him and none the wiser, is Dick Grayson himself — Nightwing, leader of the Titans, former Robin, favored son of Batman.
His big brother.

Summary
Wally gets a babysitting gig from an old friend.
-
Dick crouches to be at Damian’s eye level, and his voice suddenly takes on a brisk tone, one Wally associates so strongly with being assigned patrol routes that he twitches. “Wally, this is Damian, Damian, this is Wally. Wally is one of my very best friends. He is very important to me. You aren't going to stab him. This isn’t a debate,” Dick says, when Damian raises an eyebrow, “Or a rule. You can’t physically do it. He is much faster than you.”
“I know what his powers are,” Damian says, sounding annoyed, and also like he considers them to be a fun challenge.
“I would like it to be a rule,” Wally volunteers.
-
"Who’s the last person who saw him?" Jason asks Tim. "Did you talk to D- the kid? Nightwing never does anything without talking to him, what’d he say?”
There’s a sudden, nervous silence.
“Hey,” Jason says, dangerously, “Where is the kid?”
“Hm,” Tim says. “He’s- in school -,”
“On a Saturday? In July?” Tim makes a sound like a chipmunk in a trash compactor. “Tim, did you fuckin’ forget about the baby? Do not hang up on me-”
“Don’t real name me at work!” Tim squawks, panicked, and hangs up.Series

Summary
“I should have been there. I should’ve.” He sobbed, but oddly enough he sounded furious. “I should’ve protected him.”
And, what? Jason’s eyes snapped at his brother, lips parting slightly. He heard Tim mutter under his breath, no doubt wondering what Dick was talking about too.
“It’s my fault.” Dick stammered, digging his fingertips into Wally’s shoulder blades. “I should’ve protected him, he’s my brother! Now he’s dead!”
Or: after being dosed with a new toxin, things Dick wished to keep buried were dug up. Jason's having a wild ride, that's for sure.

Summary
Mydei’s right here, right beside Phainon, like he always is, haughty and annoying and stupid and- he's alive.
Alive- so why can't Phainon stop having vivid nightmares of spilled golden blood, a wound to the back incapable of healing-
Of Mydei laying lifeless on the council grounds?
(Or, Phainon starts having horrifyingly visceral nightmares of a past unfamiliar to him, and slowly begins to piece together that there is something more nefarious lurking behind both the Flame Reaver and Amphoreus than the Chrysos Heirs originally imagined.)

#What happened to Dr Veritas Ratio#
He’s been acting so weird recently ever since he came back from his vacation/work trip to Penacony. He didn’t call anyone an idiot in the three classes I attended this week and idk, isn’t his vibe like, super sad?Frightened_Parrot
I was in his macroeconomics class today and when he was talking about investments, he just sighed many times. It was so strange.Intelligentsiu_mai
What other reason can there be for a man to look this dejected? He got his heart broken, obviously!Shopaholic_43
Guys, remember that he just returned from Penacony. A huge tragedy happened, the IPC was implicated, and since he was there as the Intelligentsia Guild representative, he was probably heavily involved.- Language:

Mydei is a man of few words and Phainon is a man who’s never short of words. Where Mydei enjoys the sound of silence, Phainon enjoys the sound of his own voice.
They could never work, would never work, so it should not have come as a surprise that when Mydei says, ‘I’d like to court you,’ Phainon smiles at him and says, ‘Don’t.’

Mydei does a lot of side quests to achieve his noble goal

Summary
“Ratio?” he asks, stepping a bit closer. “It’s me, Aventurine. Are you… do you want to go home?”
At the mention of his name, Ratio stills, a light startle in his step as he turns to face Aventurine. He drops his hands, lacing them back together in front of him. He looks dazed, normal intensity lost from his eyes as they open glassy and vacant. They flex wide with recognition, but he doesn’t say anything.
Ratio goes quiet, and Aventurine doesn't know what to do.
