Jason:

Tim: FINE at like 9am.

Jason: It's almost 10. PM.

Tim: So?

Jason: Sit your goddamn ass down you're eating food.

Tim, groaning: You are actually worse than Dick.

Had this idea for soooo long. Poor Bizarro 😔He's surrounded by gingers

You're talking about a child who could see untitled at like 8 years old. Talia al ghul saw potential in him but ultimately decided against taking him in. He survived for a while before being adopted, and even then, he had the balls to steal the tires of the batmobile and then swing at batman with a tire iron at 11. A malnourished kid, at 15, was regularly breaking adults' collar bones. This is a kid that terrorised goons with ease while being shorter than 5 feet (his death certificate stated that he was 4'11).

And this is pre death, pre training. He was in a comatose state, and his body remembered how to fight. At 17, he snuck into Titans Tower and knocked out every member in order to clear the area to fight tim. He planted a bomb under the batmobile and CHOSE not to set it off. Then you get to the murder tour in lost days, where he trained with the best, with the ultimate gial of killing batman. This teenager managed to go through the same regiment bruce went through while learning more, since he wasn't bound by a desire not to kill. He learned more techniques and forms from more people and managed to kill the best of the best.

Ra's al ghul, a centuries old man, called him a plague to earth, and he was also deemed fit for the all caste, who are experts on the soul and magic shit. He's the chosen one of a secret sector of warrior monks with magical flaming swords imbedded into his soul while being too young to drink alcohol. The all mother herself said that he'd brung death and destruction wherever he went.

Additionally, he's a strategic genius who managed to run circles around batman and his team, only revealing what he wanted to, all while taking over the underground and beefing with black mask and other kingpins.

No way in hell does he get beat by dick, or future tim, or damian. The only one who could even give him a fight is cass, and even then, she would struggle. When dick got turned into a juiced up vampire, jason stopped holding back and laid him out immediately. When he was drunk and in mouring and damian came in with the intent to fight, he still kicked his ass.

Of course, it's the same for each other - the classic "only I/we can talk bad about you," but that's an unspoken agreement. They all know about it. That they'll complain about each other, argue, but always defend from outsiders.

With Bruce, though, it's slightly different - because they're under the impression that he doesn't know.

They avoid doing it in front of him, and they'll defend him subtly, quietly, passive-aggressively. Ranging from petty pranks to death glares towards anyone who tries anything.

They think they're being discreet, that Bruce doesn't notice them jumping to his defence. They try to make it seem like people who argue with Bruce back off themselves. That they didn't interfere.

But Bruce notices. Of course, he notices.

He plays along, though. Lets his kids think that they're being sneaky. Pretends he has no idea they're conveniently turning off Hal's bathroom lights after the man gave him a headache. Pretends he doesn't see how the Watchtower kitchen just...refuses to work for Barry after a petty argument. Pretends that the way Commissioner Gordon suddenly has time for a meeting after continuously delaying it is a coincidence. Pretends that the League's sudden enthusiasm to file everything in their system correctly is because of his multiple lectures about it, and nothing else.

He pretends not to feel his children watching him from the shadowy corners of rooms or through cameras, and holds back his small, satisfied smiles when he accidentally overhears people being chewed out and threatened by very familiar voices coincidentally after their disagreements with Bruce.

A part of him is scared that if he shows any indication that he's aware, they'll stop doing it. Another part of him tells him that's nonsense, and they'll do it either louder or even quieter than before.
