Jason never liked to admit he agreed with Bruce, but at this moment he really wished magic didn’t exist. Maybe he never would’ve been brought back and have to deal with this.

“Okay Jason,” Bruce started, sounding as tired as Jason felt, “Zatanna will be here tomorrow. Alfred is ready to come home if this is going to last longer than a week, Tim is actively looking for the caster who did this, and Barbara is going to come over tomorrow morning to help.”

“So tonight we’re on our own? Got it.”

Jason looked over at the Batcomputer where two small figures were sitting. One Dick Grayson, the other Damian Wayne, both several years younger than they should’ve been. Luckily, they both had enough memories to know at least who Jason and Bruce were, other than that though everything was really fuzzy.

He estimated Damian to be about one, and Dick to be about six. It was so weird, he was not supposed to be the oldest brother. It wasn’t like he didn’t know how to take care of kids, he could definitely do that, but putting up with them and Bruce? Awful, bad, no. He’s just gonna have to wish Bruce good luck and leave.

Right as he made up his mind Bruce let out the most pathetic whisper Jason had ever heard, "Shit... I have no idea how to look after them…" He trailed off, leaving Jason to look at him baffled.

Bruce really tried not to curse, thanks to Alfred, but he sounded so scared. Which was kind of fair, he would’ve never been around kids this young before. Fuck, Jason couldn’t just leave, he’d probably get them killed. He was the only one Bruce was going to get if he died trying. Ha.

He stretched his arm back behind his hand and huffed, “Good thing I’m here then. You’d probably give them shit to eat and try to send them to bed with sugar highs.”

“You’re staying?” Bruce looked over at him, hope in his voice and his mouth turning upwards at the corners.

“Uh yeah, you have no idea about kids.”

Bruce nodded, still looking rather happy. You know, for Bruce. “We should get them upstairs and to bed.”

“Without feeding them first?” Jason looked at him incredulous, “What did I just say?”

Bruce blinks and then nods. If you weren’t a Robin at one point, you’d probably not be able to tell he was embarrassed.

They both made their way over to the computer where Dick sat in the big chair, holding Damian tight in between his legs so he wouldn’t fall off the chair. Damian was going in between scowling and clapping like an actual infant.

Jason was never going to admit that they were adorable, no way.

“Bruce! Jay!” Dick bounces in his seat, smile wide and eyes positively glowing when he sees them both. “Look! Isn’t baby Dami soooo cute?”

Jason grins despite himself and nods before plucking Damian out of Dick’s grasp, and then sitting him on his hip. “Whatever you say Squirt, c’mon Brucie here is gonna find you both pajamas while I make some snacks before bed. You gonna go help him?”

Dick nods enthusiastically, throwing himself at Bruce the second he stands up in the chair. Bruce catches him easily and tosses him in the air a bit. Dick lets out a shriek of laughter. Much to Jason’s surprise he sees Bruce actually smile, and not like the upturn of the lips, no, a full blown grin like you’d see on a normal person.

“Alright Chum, you’re a bit smaller than when you came to the Manor, but I think we have some of your eight year old pjs upstairs.”

Dick climbs up on Bruce, settling for sitting on his shoulder. “Let’s go! It’s an adventure!”

Bruce lets out a laugh, Bruce laughs? and heads towards the stairs, “An adventure it is.”

Jason watches them go up the stairs before adjusting Damian so he was held out in front of him. “That was weird right? Have you ever seen him smile like that?”

Damian just blows a raspberry at him and babbles.

“Of course, of course, you’re totally right,” Jason hums, pulling him close as he makes his own trek upstairs.

He gets up to the kitchen and sets Damian on the counter, “Now, we don’t have a high chair so I’m keeping you in my sight, got it?”

The little baby nods resolutely much to Jason’s surprise. Bits and pieces of their older selves were shining through, but to see this infant look so determined was, well, adorable.

Jason putters around the kitchen, getting the stuff out for cucumber sandwiches. For Damian he just cuts up some strawberries, cucumbers, and broccoli. He also sneaks Damian some bites of one of Alfred’s cookies because how could you not? His big green eyes were just so cute.

Plus everytime he did Damian would giggle and Jason would never admit that he loved the sound. No. He didn’t like anything his brothers did, he would never admit it and no one could make him.

Honestly though, this wasn’t so bad. He could help out till Tim got back in the morning. He might need to stay more though, no way Tim knew anything about kids. He’d probably be worse than Bruce actually-

“Dick stop running!” Bruce called from somewhere down the hall as Dick slid into the kitchen laughing like an absolute maniac. 

Jason easily plucked him up before he smashed into the 

counter, “Dickiebird we can’t run from Bruce okay? He’s old and can’t keep up.”

Dick giggled and nodded before squirming to get back down. Yeah, Jason could definitely stay until this was fixed. Only because otherwise Bruce and Tim would kill them. And then Alfred would need help. No other reason.

I saw someone say a while ago that Jason attacking Tim at Titans Tower was just Tim hallucinating bc he was feeling guilty about being Robin even though Jason's not dead. Which is great, amazing, I think the whole Titans Tower thing is Bonkers, but I think it would be so much funnier if Jason tried to Gaslight Tim into believing the Titans Tower incident never happened, not because he's like evil, he's just super embarassed about it. like Or Tim did actually hallucinate Jason at TT but thinks it was real, so when he tells Jason about it, Jason's so fucking confused, and Tim thinks Jason's Gaslighting him

Tim: Remember that time when you broke into Titans Tower and beat me half to death while wearing a Robin costume from party city

Jason: What? Tim, I know i'm crazy, but I'm not...Insane.

Tim, pulling down his collar: I literally have the scar to prove it

Jason: Bruce told me that was from Clayface pretending to be me, which, might I just say rude. Tim... are you ok? Did you hallucinate me attacking you? like, I know I've done that before, but...

Tim, frowning: I don't think I hallucinating. I was benched for a while after because I had to recover-

Jason: well, you were benched around the time I was dropping hints that I knew who Bruce was outside of Batman, he probably just benched you to keep you safe. You probably were working too many cases with too little sleep and your imagination started to run wild.

Tim: Are you gaslighting me?

Jason: Are you gaslighting me?

Phantom, the new addition to Young Justice, just accidentally made Impulse cry.

Whoops.

Impulse had been talking about a candy that had been in the future, that he missed a lot, that had no equivalent in modern times.

So the next time Danny was in the Zone, he asked Clockwork if he could reach into the future and grab a bar. Clockwork just told him that the timeline he was talking about was dead, but that the people from it were occupying the Zone if he skipped forward in time a bit; maybe one of them knows how to do a homemade version?

So he does that, with the help of Clockwork, and manages to find someone from that doomed and dead timeline that knows how to make a homemade equivalent.

He returns to the world of the living and recreates it, and Impulse is beyond ecstatic for both the food and the recipe.

Then he asks where Danny found this.

Danny, mostly human but having been something other for so long that the concept of 'Death' doesn't hit him the same way, cheerfully says he sought the dead souls of the future that had been dissolved and asked.

Now everyone is glaring at him and Impulse can't stop crying.

Shit.

You know what’s interesting?

Dick didn’t set out to murder Zucco with the intent of being a killer. He viewed it as an unfortunate byproduct of his actions.

His real goal was to “purge the world of criminals” because “darkness needs light.”

Do you realize how unhinged that sounds? It means Robin wasn’t created from anger. It was created from the messed up psyche of a child who realized at 8 years old that the entire world needs something better than what it was given and so he went out and became it.

I cant properly explain how insane that is. It’s like putting the logic of the Joker inside the mind of child but turning it for good. Everything is falling into place now. That is why the Joker hates Dick-he is the one Robin the man couldn’t break. Literally COULDN’T because when he’s facing Dick, he’s facing the version of himself that would have existed if he had put himself to good. That was would break HIM.

Imagine spending the better part of your life doing your utmost worst to show Batman that people and the system are inherently evil only to have him fall head over cowl for a version of yourself to completely invalidate your reason for existing. How psychotic would you turn when you realize you have nothing to prove?

This also explains why Dick is so well adjusted and sociable in a way that Bruce and the others aren’t.

Bruce loses it when he loses his children, he thinks it’s a failure of his abilities and doubts his life’s work.

Jason loses it when he thinks he’s been replaced because his reason for being is having someone care for him.

Tim loses it when he comes to a dead-end. He feels helpless and lost when he doesn’t know the next move because his reason for being is being able to solve what’s wrong.

Damian loses it when he feels abandoned. He feels hurt and broken because he’s a child who wants to be loved.

The reason Dick was the perfect choice for Dark Crisis and to become the dawn of DCU is because his sole reason for being is to be the light.

That is why Bruce refused to destroy a planet when Superman asked him too. That is why Dick was the only person in the universe who could control the Darkness infecting him when even Deathstroke lost his mind to it. That is why the evil Justice League chose Dick of every one to kill-to make a point.

This is why he’s looked up to by major heroes such as Superman, Wonderwoman, the Titans, the children, the villains, and the civilians.

This is why Harvey Dent called Robin Dick “Batman’s secret weapon.”

Although anger was the baseline emotion, Dick doesn’t have anger issues because:

Robin wasn’t created for revenge. It was created with the intention of building a world so unrealistically good, that the level of the vision Richard Grayson was aiming for and set the standards for- is so terrifyingly inconceivable.

And that-is why he is a happy, feral, monster.

Danny: Hello, I'm here for my job interview-

Alfred: You're hired.

Danny: But I didn't even say what position I was-

Alfred: You are Danny Fenton, nineteen years old, blood type AB, Libra. You are here to apply for the personal assistant position under Timothy Drake. You have five years of experience as a receptionist and a personal planner and have been unofficially bookkeeper for your parent's company since you were twelve. You dabble in fanfiction, go clubbing at Vortex- the gay club downtown, and have been one of the few people who yelled at people online for "Countdown to Legal Age" of both Master Dick and Master Tim.

Danny: .....I'm a little scared right now.

Alfred: That's to be expected. You will fit right in. Master Tim enjoys the smell of fear on his employees.

Danny: You were in the army, weren't you?

Alfred grinning: I read that your mother's family are also veterans. Your mother grew up in bases; did she not?

Danny nods: Yes, they are. This is like visiting family.

Alfred: With the proper attitude, you may become family in due time!

Danny mentally: Is he....trying to get me to marry Mr. Drake???

Little things adults and older people can do to help younger people and children feel included, safe, and respected as an equal individual:

Ask before touching the young person - even for hugs. Ask before you take pictures of them, and let them see photographs of them before they are printed or sent to others (even family).

Apologize when you are wrong

Ask for a young persons thoughts on a subject, then engage with them after they have spoken

Demonstrate behaviour you want to see from them (see: apologizing). Say "excuse me," say "thank you," say "please" to them

Validate their feelings, even if they don't know how to express them just yet

Remember that this is the first time they've been alive, and that you've had way longer to "figure it out"

These are some things I wish other adults remembered when engaging with young folks. We so often forget what childhood felt like and how unfair it all was because we were often awarded freedoms as adults that we never had as children. These kids are equal to adults, and they deserve the same courtesy, respect, kindness, and understanding we give to other adults.

at first I thought it was endearing to see the doctor constantly being like "oh do I say things like that now? is this who I am?" because it's an old face but with all the experiences and changes that come with living longer. so unlike ten, fourteen is open about his feelings because there were lingering regrets with not telling people how she felt as thirteen

BUT NOW. not-donna saying you're scared. because of the flux. because the universe destroyed itself just in the chance it could destroy you. and you know now that you're not from gallifrey and that scares you. because the doctor is scared. everything they ever knew is thrown out because on top of everything an old face came back and the doctor can't figure out why

the timeless child and the flux just being MENTIONED brought the doctor to frightened tears and we have never seen anything like that before. the doctor is so so lost and just wants to know who they are. so regenerating into something new but old has thrown them off so much that at every turn he thinks "huh. is this who I am?" and it is so strange to see the doctor unsure about themself, questioning their identity every second. and it is HEARTBREAKING
