I would like anyone to TRY to imagine a villain that could stand against THAT line up.

Bruce dotes on and spoils his princess, hovers at the few galas she attends, spends a small fortune making sure her Hong Kong apartment has state of the art security, refuses to let anyone in the press talk to her in a way that's very different from how he protects the boys.

Dick takes her shopping and buys her ice cream and chocolates, sits through endless clothing changes, is just a little too gruff when she gets attention from pretty boys and prettier girls, and lets her cuddle against him in the Manor.

Jason shadows her when she's out and about Gotham City, and leaves food where she can find it. He always swings by her place if she's in the city, before he heads to his safehouse of the evening, just to be sure she's tucked up safe and sound.

Tim eviscerates anyone who talks bad about her or writes negative press about her.

Damian gets into a fight with a boy from school because they said something offensive after she picked him up.

She's always the first to be taken care of in the Manor, offered blankets and food and cuddles and sometimes, when she needs it, alone time.

And Cass is very aware of how protective and intense they are. She doesn't need it--she's the best fighter in the family, she can take care of herself.

When you're small and not understanding of the outside world, you wonder if the outside world is your friend. Gotham City is bad, but can certain parts of it be saved? Tim Drake finds himself having lost the father whom he thought he knew, now looks to his new father for guidance.
