    Summary

    “It’s easier to make good decisions when you’re there,” Angel confesses, voice barely above a whisper. He is the one who can’t look at Husk now, so he just stares at the colorful collection of bottles on the wall. Once upon a time, he might have grabbed one and left. Fled this difficult conversation. But Angel is trying now. “Charlie said she believes in me, but we all know she’s too trusting for her own good.”

    Or

    Angel tries to convince Husk to attend Cherri’s birthday party with him. Husk wants to know why.

    Summary

    Angel makes no move to leave the bar as Husk finishes closing up, his shoulders hunched and his arms limp at his sides.

    Husk swallows back the anger that bubbles to the surface of his skin as he thinks of what exactly Valentino must have put him through tonight to render him so… empty.

    Husk shakes his head. There’s time for anger later. But not now, when Angel so clearly needs his help.

    “C’mere,” Husk says, gently helping Angel to stand. “Why don’t we head upstairs?”

    Or: Angel returns from a particularly rough night of work. Husk helps him relax

    Summary

    Ignoring the tantrum the kid’s throwing, Tim stands and turns towards Jason, panicking. “Oh fuck, why would you do that?! I don’t know what he put in there, we may not have an antidote!”

    Raising an unimpressed eyebrow at Tim, Jason puts the mug back on the table and crosses his arms. “What do you mean you don’t know what’s in the coffee, the little brat just said it was iocaine powder.”

    Is it okay to feel the strong urge to smack your brother who just drank poison for you? “Iocaine powder isn’t real, Jason!”

    “You two are overreacting,” Jason says, instead of coming with Tim to the medbay so he can hopefully save his damn life. “I’m fine.”

    “You are an overconfident fool, Red Hood,” the brat bites out. “You are not fine, you will die in five seconds.”

    --

    In order to contest Tim's right to claim the title of Robin, Damian challenges him to a battle of wits. Tim would find it a lot funnier if he wasn't absolutely certain that this little brat just dumped actual poison into his precious coffee. If Jason could stop messing around, that would be great, too.

    Summary

    “I’m not your son!” Jason spits, his chest heaving. “Your son died in that warehouse three years ago! You’re not my father!”

    Grief coats the words under Jason’s barbed veneer of anger, leaving them to weigh heavily on Bruce's shoulders as they hit their mark. So consumed, Bruce doesn’t think when he next opens his mouth. His voice, which had been the natural tones of “Bruce Wayne” as he tried to reach his son through the mire of misery he’s drowning in, slips into something not quite Batman, but very close.

    “I am your father.”

    Jason freezes at the same time Bruce realizes what he just did.

    -

    Tim's a Star Wars nerd. This has unforeseen consequences. Bruce manages to thoroughly derail Jason's epic revenge plot and hug his son, all because he manages to say the right thing, for once. It doesn't matter that the right thing to say is a movie quote, not even his own words - if it can give him his son back, Bruce will say anything.

    Summary

    Taking a second to find calm in the middle of the storm, Jason closes his eyes and breathes in. He's reminded of a different kitchen, from a lifetime ago, with two people snuggled up side-by-side, poking at the dough and each other as they wait for their bread to rise. He's reminded of this kitchen, a lifetime ago, starting to feel like a comfort he didn't have to doubt, a place he could maybe, one day, call his home.

    For all that he's not that little kid anymore, for all that the families he remembers loving have been torn apart by the cruel whims of fate, he recognizes that he can still have this moment. He can still have this family. It's not what he started with, but it is what he's grown to be a part of. It's what he's grown to love.
