“Anything useful?”

He could tell something was up. It was all over Tim’s body language, the boy was stressed about something. But he wouldn’t force it out of Tim, no. Tim was a young man moving through a crucial and pivotal time in his life. When he was ready to talk, Bruce would let him.

A jolt where he sat before he'd freeze stiff, eyes slowly shifting towards that of the man as he offered a wry smile.

"Me?" He asked, feigning confusion with a hand to his chest, dramatic but attempting to sell it.

He'd clear his throat. "No, uh.. No. just thinking out loud is all. Patrol stuff."

“Tim?”

Bruce looked over at Tim. “Did you say something?”

Bruce had no idea what Tim was dealing with. But he heard his son muttering words to himself, and that was always a sign of something. “Something you need to talk about, son?”

Staring off into space distantly.

"....I don't like boys."

".....Right? No, I can't. I've dated girls so.. I couldn't possibly be into..."

Muttering & muttering to himself.

“No.”

He shook his head. “We don’t have time for that right now. You called me here for help. Lets not waste time eating ice cream.”

Bruce looked out at the skyline. “You said they’re smuggling alien tech. Do you know who. And what for?”

"I swing down and find one? Duh," he shrugged, 'scooping' another... wingdingful of ice cream to his mouth.

"Want some? Could use your batarang."

“Ice cream?”

Batman looked down at Nightwing. “Where were you going to throw that out? I don’t see a garbage can up here.”

“I can’t.”

He shook his head. “I can’t believe it, Dick. Being a grandfather is strange to me. But whats even stranger is that these are your children. I remember adopting you. I remember taking you on your first patrol. I remember being out on your last. I remember it all, Dick. I know

"But who are we to deny them anything, hm?" he muttered, a finger reached down to rub his son's cheek.

"This is your family, Bruce. Can you believe it?"

He nodded. “I’m—“

Bruce turned to Dick. “I wish you would have told me. I would have arranged to have had diapers and such ready.”

He looked down at his.. grandchildren. They were sound asleep, barely moving. To be so small again.

“Congratulations, son.” He placed his hand
