mmm WIP
Toddler Damian if he grew up with Bruce will constantly be put in air jail.
Running through the halls and knocking things over? Air jail but if it's Alfred he hooks him onto a coat rack.
Almost launches himself into the abyss of the Batcave? Air jail but jason swings him around.
Escapes into the chimpanzee exhibit at the zoo? Air jail by Bruce and they go home early.
It's so cute because toddlers in air jail kick their little feet petulantly and I imagine Damian twisting around really violently in air jail.
Peters phone dings and he asked Tony to read the text for him
Tony confused: "who is 'big balls man'???"

routine laboratory activity!
Tim, after a long patrol, collapses onto the couch and ends up falling mostly on Dick
Jason, in a lightly mocking tone Awww, look at the sleepy baby
Dick humms and shifts, trying to get more comfortable with the extra weight
Jason grins, sees the opportunity to annoy Dick, and leans on Tim to put more pressure on Dick, stretching widely, I’m so tiiiired
Dick too tried to realize Jason is being a brat, starts patting Jason’s hair Me too man, me too
Jason who is also exhausted from patrol feels his eyelids start to droop, begins to doze on Tim unwittingly
Tim is completely unaware
Tim later wakes up trapped not only between Dick and Jason but all their other siblings have joined the pile in some way
Tim glances sideways and sees Bruce sitting in a chair
Bruce, not looking up, Alfred has already sent the photos to Barbara
Tim huffs then goes back to sleep, knowing attempting escape is futile
Bruce once made an offhand comment about how no one wears watches anymore because they all use their phones to tell time
The next day Tim buys a smartwatch
Dick straps the hourglass he got from the dentist onto his wrist
Damian carries a bunch of candlesticks with nails in them and lights one whenever he needs a timer
Jason lugs around two industrial buckets of water to make a water clock
Steph gets an antique pocketwatch but it's carried around by a personal assistant that's coming out of Bruce's budget
Barbara buys a classroom clock and keeps it in her wheelchair pocket
Cass stands in a well-lit area and checks her shadow
Duke unearths a fifty-pound sundial and names it Duke II
Bruce no longer comments on Gen Z
Peter is banned from playing Scrabble with Bruce because he keeps using obscure science terms and winning. Tony refuses to play Monopoly with him after Peter “bankrupted” him in under 30 minutes. However, Peter and Natasha make an unbeatable team at Pictionary.
Talia: Okay, if I had Damian in the spring and it’s winter now… I forgot his birthday, didn’t I?
Harley (holding a teacup): Yeah, he said he’s used to it.
Talia (panicked): Oh my God! Quick, what do boys like? Fisher-Price is still a thing, right?
Harley (flatly): Tali, he turned twelve.
Talia (lamenting): I thought he was nine! Okay, I can work with this. I’ll call Bruce—no, no, he’ll be upset that I forgot his birthday and think I don’t care. But I do care! He’s my tifl. I spent thirty-six hours pushing him out of my body! My mind just gets foggy at times.
Harley: Talia.
Talia: If I had remembered, trust me, I’d throw him a party! Plus, I’m a busy woman. I am a businesswoman before I’m a fighter. That’s not me excusing my actions, though. Don’t say it is!
Harley (repeating herself): Talia?
Talia: I need to give him something good—
Harley (raising her voice): TALIA!
Talia (annoyed): What?!
Harley (passing Talia her phone, which is open to the Amazon app): What you see is his wishlist. That’s the stuff he wants as gifts. You don’t have to buy everything, just one or two items.
Talia: Oh bless you, Harley! Huh, he has a lot of books in here. I shall buy them all!
Talia pulled out her phone and began adding every book she saw on his wishlist to her Amazon cart. Harley shrugged, sipping her tea.
Two weeks later, Damian received numerous packages from Amazon filled with the books he had been hoping to get. He blinked, unsure of how to react. But what stood out the most was that Talia had also bought him the ship Lego set he wanted.
Damian: Hm… She really went through my wishlist for this. If she got the notification that the packages were delivered, she should be calling any second now.
His phone rang two seconds later, right on cue. He answered with reluctance.
Damian: Don't speak yet. I just wanted to say thank you for the gifts. Now you can react.
Talia (sweetly): I get you the best because you’re my precious twelve-year-old, and I knew you turned that age, but it’s been crazy busy dealing with business and my father.
Ra's: Hey!
Damian (small smile): Mm-hm, thanks anyways, Mother. I… love you.
Talia: I love you too!
