Dick: So how long have you been doing this whole crime fighting thing?
Peter: Honestly, kinda lost track around the 90s but a long time.
Dick: That's rough. You got any back up like a team?
Peter: Nah. Been on several teams but none that stick. I like doing things on my own.
Dick: Any family?
Peter: Nope. My parents were CIA agents and killed by the Red Skull, the leader of Hydra, when I was young-
Dick: W-wait-
Peter: I was adopted by my aunt and uncle but when I got my powers, I let a robber go and that same robber killed my uncle-
Dick hearing aggressive running in the distance: Pete stop-
Peter: Yea and after being spider-man for a while I was hated by a news organization, was accused of killing my first girlfriend's dad-
*Aggressive running speeds up*
Dick: Pete, stop he is coming-
Peter: And then she died in my arms after I tried to catch her with a web but didn't factor in the momentum. And I have been non-stop struggling since.
*Aggressive running stops*
Dick: Oh no... he is here.
Peter: Who-
Bruce Wayne bursting through the wall holding a robin costume: SO, YOU'VE STRUGGLED ALL YOUR LIFE AND ARE, OR CLOSE TO BEING, AN ORPHAN??
Dick: PETE RUN!
Okay. New thought. Hear me out.
Jason with motorcycle.
Jason, motorcycle AND 'white girl' music.
A little like this:
Goon 1: Hurry up guys! We don' want boss waitn' to long!
Goon 5: Uh.. hey lads? What's that music? I ain't never hear California gurls playin' down h're.
Goon 1: ...
The sound of a motorcycles engine becomes louder, as well as the very noticable and very known lyrics of California gurls as well as a distinct voice singing it.
Goon 2: SHIT SHIT DUCK DOWN
All of the goon scramble to duck down and hide.
Goon 5: What? What is it? The goon whispers
As the sound becomes louder and louder, the engine of the motorcycle pauses for a while but soon continues on. The goons all let out a heavy breath, that was a close one.
Goon 6: Oh thank the Lord. I thought he found us for a second..
Jason standing like right behind them whispers into one of the goons ears: California girls-
And that's why if you hear California gurls playing in Gotham, you should run because it's the Red hood.
Now. You must be wondering, if Jason is with the goons.. where is the motorcycle? Well let's just say Tim had a fun time scaring the shit out of people.
Flash: what the hell happened with no metas in gotham?
Batman: Signal is a special case, I trust him solely as one of gotham’s vigilantes-
Flash: What? No. I’m talking about the blue one. I saw him lift like, 1000 pounds the other day.
Batman: … it was that or therapy
I feel like the general energy of the Batfam is as follows.
Batman: don’t do anything stupid.
His five hundred children: *do stupid things instantly*
My child is growing wings under his skin and they look… pretty fully formed… like they’re about to burst out any minute
Do you know which hospital has better care for….alternative biology we’ll say
Or would I be better off getting him to a metropolis hospital in this case?
For the growth period we’ve been managing the pain for him pretty successfully with some pain killers and occulting between a heating pad and a cooling one but… idk somethings about to happen I know it
Good question. Gotham is getting better about (as you put it best) alternative biology. Probably ever since the Signal showed up and people remembered that metas exist. But I'd definitely still recommend going to Metropolis for this. I've got some friends at Knight Memorial who see cases like this pretty regularly. Keep at the heating and cooling routine and (depending on your kid's age), you can cycle between ibuprofen and tylenol as needed. Best of luck and let me know if you need anything. I'm not well read on wing development, but I'm happy to look into temporary housing out in Metropolis or to call in a favor with the good people of Knight Memorial. Stay safe out there
Jason finds out the same stalker kid that used to hang off gargoyles to photograph him mid-patrol is the kid that forced his way into the Robin mantle the second he died and he immediately assumes that Tim's been plotting his downfall since he was seven years old and has been waiting for the perfect opportunity to steal his job.
Jason, looking at the footage of Robin!Tim that Talia shows him: that mad bastard... it's a coup. the evil genius has been planning this for half a decade!
Damian, peering over Jason's shoulder at the weedy 13 yr old chasing a murderous Batman around and looking Stressed™ as he does so:
Damian: *slowly looking between Jason and the footage of Tim*
Jason, murmuring: it's a conspiracy...
Damian:
Damian, to Talia: put him back in the pit he needs another round

Yeah sounds about right
One day Tim’s out in casual clothes just roaming because Alfred said he needed to spend time in the sun (Jason said his sickly Victorian child was showing which is what actually got him outside).
Anyway he’s minding his business, bored out of his mind, when an alert about the riddler goes out. He escaped Arkham and Tim is like “I’ve got nothing better to do,” So he tracks him down. Except he tracks him down as Tim Drake, not Red Robin because he was told to get sunlight as Tim.
Kid basically knocks on the door the Riddler’s hideout like “I’m bored and I’m pretty sure I can out riddle you.” And the Riddler isn’t gonna take that challenge sitting down.
He doesn’t even have a plan set up yet. Just drags Tim in like “guess I’ll use this kid as bait he is influential.” And the entire time he’s setting up his elaborate trap he’s shooting riddles back and forth with Tim. Ten minutes in he’s given up on the trap because Tim is not only keeping up but is also dishing out stellar riddles. Riddler’s not about to risk killing one of the few people in Gotham that are actually entertaining.
By this point the Bat’s “Tim Radar” Has gone off. They haven’t heard from him and he hasn’t checked in for the Riddler Breakout. So they track him and they find him sitting in Riddler’s hideout with a mug of coffee playing the equivalent of four dimensional chess but it’s the game Clue.
It ends with the Riddler being willing to go back to Arkham so long has he has regularly scheduled enrichment time with Tim.
Tim’s content with that. Honestly he had a lot of fun.
Bruce is exhausted.
*looking at a picture of robin!dick on top of batman crying at a joker who didnt even doing anything yet*
Jason: BAHAHAHA
Dick: WHAT?!?! I was afraid of clowns! Sue me!
Tim: .....you LIVED at the CIRCUS!
Based off this post. funny doodles i took too seriously.
actually the idea that Dick, the eldest, the only one who ever wore the cowl long term, the only one who raised a Robin on his own, is also the only one who can successfully, perfectly replicate that barked ROBIN! in Bruce's voice? the only one who can pull that exact tone from the depths of his soul, to the point where his voice is identical, so identical that old Robins like Jason are obeying before their minds even realize their bodies are moving? that Dick is the only one, has always been the only one, who can channel Bruce's voice? can channel Batman himself? I am going feral
