IN LOVE with mentorverse au. its like the realization you get as a kid, finding out that your teacher doesn’t sleep in the school and does, in fact, have a home and a life outside of work. except the life your nerd ass teacher has is a rotating cast of CELEBRITIES AND SUPERHEROES. (or maybe a better analogy is realizing your favorite kooky college prof whose TAs all wish would adopt them has like 3 doctorates, a nobel prize, and a photo of him shaking hands with the president) either way, endlessly entertaining

YES precisely!!! your cool but dork-ass mentor just casually hangs out with NIGHTWING and SUPERMAN??????? WHAT????

that really is the exact dynamic like you nailed it. bc tim is So competent and they do respect him but also they joke around with him and call him a dork-ass loser and he laughs at it. like there's just this level of oh, yeah, he's human, he's just some guy, yes he's really good at what he does but he's also just Some Guy. and then you turn around and he and impulse??!! are both just standing there staring unblinkingly at freaking supernova, until supernova throws up his hands and goes "oh my god FINE!" and leaves and then comes back in like 4 minutes with both of their favorite jamba juice orders. and you just go okay what the SHIT just happened--
