Okay, So This Is 100% Based Off Of A Line From One Of The DCAMU Films. I Don't Quite Remember Which One-
okay, so this is 100% based off of a line from one of the DCAMU films. I don't quite remember which one- possibly Batman: Bad Blood or Son of Batman, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, so Dick has a line in that film about "if you take the cut, you can take the stitch" and at least one other person says it to him at some point in the film, annoying him. Or something like that; again my memory is foggy. THE POINT IS, I have now applied that to Annabeth because of course I did.
Annabeth remembers everything or almost everything she hears in canon. Apply that to this situation: she 100% either overheard Bruce telling Dick or Jason: "if you take the cut, you can take the stitch". OR Dick or Jason said that in a somewhat joking/exaggerated manner to comfort her over a minor injury by convincing her to act "like Robin".
Dick and Jason would be Annabeth's model for "big siblings" before Luke and Thalia, Dick especially given his age. Consciously or not, when she became the "big sister" of the Athena cabin, there were things she modeled after Dick, as well as Jason, Thalia, and Luke.
So imagine before they know Annabeth is alive and a demigod, somehow one of the younger bats meets one of the younger Athena kids in one of the many infinitely weird situations the DC verse finds themselves in. Malcolm maybe, maybe someone else.
The younger bat is in civilian clothes and trapped with the Athena kid, who is attempting to give them first aid. The bat has to endure it because they're trying not to give the civilian persona away, and they have no idea the Athena kid also is trying very, very hard to pretend to be a civilian. Until-
"if you take the cut, you can take the stitch"
says this grey-eyed stranger, half-joking, with the EXACT same inflection and tone as Dick Grayson.
"What did you say???" the bat-kid demands, half-convinced they're hallucinating.
The Athena kid smiles.
"Something stupid my big sister always says. Gods, it drives us crazy."

Tim would be drinking energy drinks and coffee, but Alfred had those confiscated.
Bruce: You know you can die from that, right? Jason: *smoking a cigarette* That’s the point. Dick: *drinking alcohol* We’re trying to speed this up. Tim: *Eating raw cookie dough and nodding*
When Dick was Robin, he was given a laminated page titled ‘The Rules of Robin.’
When Jason was Robin, the page had become a 3 page leaflet from Dick’s antics.
When Tim was Robin, the leaflet was a five page booklet.
Stephanie’s time as Robin was short, but she remembers the horror when she saw the 200 page almanac tossed onto the table.
By the time Damian was Robin, Alfred has started to bookbind volume 2.

Or – how Tim somehow manages to both be the most obedient and responsible Robin while also being an unholy gremlin of a sidekick.
..Chaos? Yes.
This has been bouncing in my head for a bit, basically crack don't take it too seriously \(๑╹◡╹๑)ノ
OKay!
So POV Outsider, basically of the new dynamic between newly regained memories of Ra's being Vlad, Talia is Ellie, and Tim is Danny.
(This is after the whole Bruce lost in time thing)
Just these 3 having a chaotic but friendly dynamic
(Vlad already had his redemption/healing arc last lifetime)
Like I want a scene of the Bats panicking because Tim went missing under very suspicious circumstances leading them to finding him playing board games with the other two or like a spa day just chilling painting each others nails.
That sort of vibe ya know?
Give me the sheer confusion of the others witnessing the chaos TM
Whether that be the Bats or some other heroes
or even better yet, the LOA assassins watching their leader and daughter act very differently especially around Tim.
basically them: Chaos? Chaos! ✨

Darn. Thalia is a single mother with two kids.
Both her kids so happen to be her siblings
Okay, but Thalia, Jason G., and Annabeth have a team up in Gotham in the Annabeth Wayne verse. Thalia got leave to go on a solo hunt for something big and nasty, took Jason with her in an attempt at bonding, then found out that not only is the monster headed for the unholy cesspool that is Gotham, for some reason Annabeth is back in Gotham.
She is not happy that Annabeth went back to Gotham. Jason allows himself to be dragged further into the mess when Thalia shows up to check on Annabeth and Annabeth invites herself on the hunt. Thalia now has both her kids present to worry about, and it's making her more than a little twitchy.
Anyway, it's a short, but very nasty, very brutal fight against something deadly and good at large scale damage.
The latter means Nightwing ends up on the scene, not understanding what is happening but deciding that whatever it is his brain couldn't seem to process had just thrown his little sister into a car, so he could figure out the rest later.
It eats one of his escrima sticks.
Annabeth jumps on the monster from above at some point and stabs it directly in the eye with her knife. He wasn't aware she knew how to do that.
As the monster explodes into golden dust, there are sirens going and the dust from the destroyed brickwork and the monster corpse combined with the lack of moonlight makes it hard to see. Thalia calls out to her kids to make sure everyone is in one piece.
Except the words that come out of her mouth have skipped straight over any of her normal filters ,so what comes out is:
"Jay!!! Annie!! Are you both still alive?"
Dick Grayson hears her and freezes on the spot, blood rushing in his ears even as the teenagers reply in the affirmative and Thalia surges forward with a grin to wrap an arm around them both.
