I need a fic where robin!jason is the only one to notice baby stalker tim while they’re out on their patrols and it gets to the point where he’ll occasionally address him when he’s alone & around the others and they think he’s low-key going insane
fast forward a couple years and tim refers to something he saw while he was stalking batman and robin and jason’s head just WHIPS towards bruce and starts screeching “I TOLD YOU I WASN’T HALLUCINATING THE TINY STALKER CHILD FOLLOWING US B!! I FUCKING TOLD YOU I-“ and he has to be dragged out of the room by nightwing, still loudly proclaiming his vindication while tim and the others just watch on with the pikachu meme face
Alfred: Injury report?
26-year-old Bruce: All the blood is on the inside?
Alfred:
Some years down the road
Bruce: Injury report?
Tim: I left no DNA behind.
Cass: I can still beat the rest of you.
Jason: Haven’t died again.
Dick: No bones are visible from the outside.
Damian: I won.
Duke: I think I discovered a new power.
Steph: You’re not my dad.
Bruce:
Bruce:
Alfred: And how *is* Karma doing today, Master Bruce?
Goonion rule #14. If given the chance; always fuck with Batman
Cass being everyone's favorite is so real
mia, side-eyeing roy’s trucker hat and general appearance: are you a trump supporter now?
oliver, aghast: no he is NOT, i raised him better than that 🙄
roy, equally torn between being offended but also wanting to annoy ollie: maybe i am
*2 hours later*
jason, on the phone: why did ollie just call me to yell about you being out of the will and then dramatically hang up before i could get a word in?
roy: omg i was in the will? 🥺
jason: well not anymore

Silly Batfam headcanon that David Cain (who introduced his daughter to a lot of his contacts during her upbringing) in his younger days used to be... a lot more involved in politics.
So, one seemingly slow day in a certain american inteligence agency:
CIA agent, entering the room in a panic: Sir, Bruce Wayne has-
Head of the pentagon: The playboy millionaire? Why do I care what he has done?
Agent: Because he has publicly adopted Cassandra Cain, sir!
Pentagon head: Cassandra Cain?
Agent: Yes, sir.
Head: Daughter of internacional assassin David Cain?!
Agent: The one, sir.
Head: THE GUY WE HIRED TO KILL KENNEDY AND COVER IT UP THIRTY YEARS AGO??????
Agent: Exactly.
Head: I thought her daugther had disappeared and was missing or something, how has she been adopted by Bruce Fucking Wayne?!
Agent: We're looking into it. She's using forged legal documents but it's definitely her, should we arrest her?
Head, grabbing the agent by the collar: That's the girl who beat every single UN-wanted assassin on earth before her age hit double digits, you idiot! If you so much as lay a finger on her she will break it and then come after me for seconds, no one touches her!
Agent: Ok, sir, put me down, please. *Head lets go of him* Should we put all of Wayne Mannor under official protection, then?
Head: Yeah, yeah, that sounds about right, wouldn't want something bad to happen to Cain's new father that could send her on a vengeance quest.
Agent: Do you think the Batman knows the Waynes are harboring the singular most dangerous non-meta teenager on Earth?
Head, about to have a heart attack: Oh, God, if the Batman goes after Wayne it could send Cain into a rampage. Establish emergency communications with Batman, appeal to his good nature, offer him whatever he wants, he can't go after Cassandra Wayne!
*One day later, on a rooftop in Gotham*
Batman: Speak, I'm busy.
Agent: Yes, I won't take much of your time. My bosses want to- who's that?
Batman, without turning to look at the figure behind him: That's Batgirl, my partner. But you were talking to me.
Agent: O-of course. Listen, there's a new dangerous criminal here in Gotham you will wanna hear about.
Batman: I thought your bosses didn't like working with me?
Agent: we don't wanna work with you. We want you to leave this criminal alone, as we believe she's looking to turn a new leaf. That, and she might probe a greater threat if provoked. *hands him pictures of Cassandra during the adoption announcement*
Batman, thirty years of poker face training:
Agent: She is Cassandra Wayne, new adopted daughter of Bruce Wayne.
Batgirl, noticing the inmediate shift to proud-happy-proud when the agent refered to her as his daughter:
Batman: I've heard about her, Bruce Wayne seems very fond of her already. Very well, I will leave her alone, she hasn't done anything bad as far as I've found in my investigation anyway.
Agent, sighing in relief, looking down a second to pocket the pictures: That's great to hear, it's a pleasure to- *looks up and both vigilantes have disappeared*
*a few roofs away*
Batman, walking in absolute silence:
Batgirl, pullings his sleeve: Fond of me?
Batman, nodding, red under the cowl: Fond of you.
Steph: You ever think about how Cass could be in this very room watching us at any moment and we would never know? Tim: Well I'm thinking about it now. Thanks. Damian: I would know. Cass: No you wouldn't.
Dannys at Wayne enterprise because his parents want to submit their inventions and "scientific" discoverys for official review. He's bored out of his mind and meets this beautiful girl his age and strikes up a conversation with her. (Or he meets a girl and starts to rant like his father.)
Danny: im just saying Orphan has to be a vampire!
????(cass): No.
Danny: Are you kidding me? She moves with far to much elegance and grace to be mortal. Credit to the other bats but they move like mortals. She dances around both rogues and vigilantes!
????(cass): *blushing* No vampire.
Danny: ok maybe not a vampire but like a shadow demon or dhamphir or something! She's to much!
????(cass): orphan. Is. good. What about others?
Danny: oh! stabby robin and red hood are top tier obviously!
????(cass): oh?
Danny: well yeah! Stabby robin practices the art of the sword, a forgotten art in modern times. And red hood shoots pedophiles! Who doesn't like that?
????(cass): Batman.
Danny: well that says something about batman doesn't it. Have you seen the first Robin's outfit? Oof!
*in cass's ear*: Red Robin here. Good job on keeping danny distracted orphan. We're in the process of arresting Danny's parents. Can you keep it up?
????(cass): mhmm. Hey. Cute boy. Take me out to lunch?
Danny: Oh! Yeah! My parents will take hours explaining everything anyway, But uhm. What's your name?
????(cass): call me cass. This is a date, Yes?
Danny: *blushing* oh, uhm, yes. I'm Danny by the way.
Cass: Danny very cute.
Red robin: uhm? You don't have to do that orphan. Hello? ...Please don't make me explain this to B. Orphan?
Batman: Follow. Them.
One time the bat kids hung out in the cave while B was at a JL meeting. The whole place was covered in pink glitter and silly string by the time they were done. The only person who didn’t have glitter on them was Cassandra, no one knows how.
They don’t even try to clean it and just fr owned it.
Bruce comes back with the JL in tow to a pink, sparkly batcave and almost has an aneurism.
Oliver and Dinah is laughing their asses off and the JL is shocked.
Oliver; remind me to get them Prada for Christmas.
Bruce;…
Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, Robin, Spoiler, Black Bat, and Signal chose that moment to reenter the room.
Oliver; good job!
Hood; thanks uncle arrow!
Hal; what’s wrong with B?
Signal; wait for it.
Bruce; THE BATMOBILE TOO!?!
