#uncle supes

Batman: well... Technically he's my oldest and age of majority... But he's still my kid.

Hal Jordan: OLDEST? YOU HAVE MORE? 2? 3?

Batman visibly annoyed:... 6... Legally.

Hal Jordan: I'm going home. This has single handedly killed my willpower for a week, I need to process this.

Later....

Superman: Ah so you finally found out. I'm proud of him honestly, good to see he's willing to bond with others again.

Hal Jordan: You knew?

Superman: ...His kids basically call me Uncle Supes. I've babysat. I was around when he still just had Nightwing

WW: They're so cute! Children of such strength and bravery. Not to mention his dog, his cat, his cow... His son has animals even I've never seen before!

Hal Jordan: I've had enough.

And Hal hasn't even learned about his crime fighting cousin, batwing, Oracle, bluebird, Spoiler, and of course Jarro.

It’s a mutual agreement, not so much as verbal or written but binding. It is out of respect for Bats and to be honest, Gotham gives him the absolute creeps. He would never approach Bats with an offer of his help just in case he took it the wrong way lets all the members of the JL know that he’s just one cry of help away, just use the code word.

He’s getting ready for bed one right after an after work drink with Jimmy after a long day at the Planet when he hears the codeword. Usually, he would coolly assess the situation before taking off but this voice… that is a kid, crying out in fear. Before Clark knows it, he’s flying over Gotham, zeroing in on the voice that has grown more panicked by the second. He ends up in alley that looks empty, touching down with his ears pricked for any sort of sound. He hears a heartbeat, fast very fast almost like… Clark finds Dick behind one of the trashcans, clearly terrifed but so tightly curled up that he can’t tell if he’s injured. Clark quickly assesses the situation as it is, one very lost and confused Robin, not injured or threatened but very afraid and upset. Now, he’s met Robin all of once after Batman brought him but they never spoke face to face except when being introduced but he manages to get Dick to explain what happened and how Clark can help.

Clark finds Batman going completely stir crazy on a roof a few blocks away, all but hissing into his comms. Bats is so relieved to get his little sidekick back that the entire facade of the big scary stoic Dark Knight and he just catches Robin up and hugs him while the little guy starts bawling. Turns out Dick had gotten chased by some goons and had taken too many turns to find his way back, he’s still very new to Gotham and patrolling. The comms line was damaged and his choices were walk back to the Manor alone which he couldn’t because he was lost or go to the GCPD who Dick doesn’t really trust yet or call Clark because ‘he’s B’s work friend’ and his mom told him to always find an adult he can trust when he’s lost. Clark is touched but very aware that he’s probably overstepping so once he’s sure Dick is calm again, he says he’s going to head out. Robin tugs at Bruce’s cape and the Bat just sighs and asks whether he would like stay a bit. Clark does but eventually heads back home to get some shut eye before work. The next JL meeting, Clark is determined not to bring it up in case Bats is annoyed over it but instead, Batman comes up to him with a sheet of paper which he hands to Clark before continuing on with the threat they are discussing. It is a Thank You card, with wobbly handwriting and Clark and Dick memorialized in bright crayon.

From someone reading Nightwing from Rebirth through current

-One of his ex girlfriends ended up being the caption of a secret society pirate crew

-After the murder of his parents, he was afraid of heights for a time

-Alfred is the one who taught him first aid. How to stitch and patch up wounds

-He views both Bruce and Alfred as his fathers

-When he was little, Bruce would read “There is a Monster At the End of this Book,” to him to help him feel better 😭

-He was gifted a CD that held the security camera footage of Hayley’s Circus from the night of his parents death. Security footage that had gone missing. It contained the footage of Tony Zucco sabotaging his parent’s trapeze, which they couldn’t prove before. Now Zucco could be locked up for his crime.

-He uses his birthday as an excuse to give people whatever he wants. Uses it as a day to take care of those he cares about.

-He calls his boat the boatwing. Bro really takes after his dad.

-He and Barbara were gifted the key to Bludhaven on his birthday

-For doing things like building state of the art homeless shelters, setting up free breakfast and lunch programs in schools around the city, etc. Using the money Alfred had willed to him after he passed (R.I.P Alfred Pennyworth 😭.)

Previous Part

Jim: You get down here right now, young man, or I’m calling your uncle.

Nightwing, very nearly fumbling a flip: What?

Jim: *raises an eyebrow*

Nightwing: Wait, back up. What are you talking about?

Jim: I can and will call Superman.

Nightwing, slightly bewildered: Honestly, I’m pretty sure that’s the first time anyone has ever threatened to call Uncle Supes on me.

An officer in the back: Uncle SUPES?!?

Jim: And then you can explain to Batman what Superman is doing in Gotham.

Nightwing, sputtering: No, no, there’s no need for that, really. Look, how about we just sit down and talk for a minute, and-

Jim: You’ll hand over the surveillance videos?

Nightwing: Of course! I-

Jim: The UNEDITED surveillance videos?

Nightwing: Yes, and also it was all Red Robin's idea, just so you know.

Jim:

Nightwing:

Jim: *holds out a hand with a sigh*

Nightwing: Okay, so I don't exactly have them with me, but I will definitely get back to you.

Jim: Don't you dar-

Nightwing: *already a block and a half away*
