*Tim finds out the Japan trip was because of the rumors that Joker might have been back*
Tim: WHAT?!
Tim: You sent me across the globe because you thought the Joker might have been alive?
Bruce, innocent of all chargers: Hm.
Dick, nonchalant: Yeah? What did you think it was?
Tim: I thought he was feeling depressed over Jason again!
Dick: Out of curiosity, do you mean that in a "depressed over Jason so he sent me away" or "depressed over Jason so he wanted to do something nice for me" kinda way?
Tim: ...Yes?
Dick: Timmy...
Tim: What? Like your relationship with him was so perfect back then.
Tim: Wait...I wasn't even Robin back then. Like, I was barely allowed to train with Alfred and Dick. Why would you send me away from Gotham if I wasn't even Robin?
Bruce: ...
Bruce: Something could have happened to you.
Tim, staring: Like what?
Bruce: You were a very curious and nosy child. For all I knew, you could have hacked into my system, stolen a Robin suit, and taken on the Joker on your own to prove yourself.
Bruce: You couldn't do that if you were in Japan.
