Bruce sighed, turning to Tim as his eldest tried to hang off of Jason's jacket. "Tim, Timmy, kiddo. Where did that come from?? You've never expressed thoughts like this, to my awareness."

Timothy's eyes were wide. He gazed up innocently at Bruce. "But, B, you were the one I learned it from."

The Cave froze and Bruce remembered the two years from hell.

He groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. " Fair enough. Why do you remember everything I say?"

Tim shrugged as Dick launched himself at Bruce.

Bruce caught his son gently, embracing Dick. "What is it, chum?"

"You didn't deny iiiit!!" Dick wailed, coiling himself around Bruce.

Bruce sighed. "Simple explanation. Back when Tim was starting out as Robin."

Dick cringed, springing back and nodding as he stood straight. "Yep, makes sense, I did a bit of that too. You know, you and I are lucky Clark and Tim snapped us out of our funk. Now that we're well out of it, though, what's stopping us from a eensy weensy bit of violence?"

Bruce huffed.

Dick nodded. "Fair enough, Clark would interfere again..."

A throat cleared, and the original Dynamic Duo glanced at the rest of their family. "Yes?"

"What are you two even talking about?"

Tim spoke up in reply, "Probably the separate times where they nearly killed Joker. Uncle Clark stopped B, B stopped Dick. Both cases were stopped for the respective attemptee's sanity. To my guess they were talking about joining Jason in violence against Joker."

Jason gaped. "What the-"

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

An AU where Batman when Jason dies, comes up with dark reasons why keeping villains alive is better than killing them. And it continues to get darker and more detailed the longer he’s in grief.

So when Tim become Robin he keeps on accidentally hearing Batman mutter to himself stuff like:

“Death is a mercy they doesn’t deserve”

“My revenge is something hell can’t reproduce”

“Let justice decide their fate”

“I won’t become like them. I’ll become worse, and I’ll do it while keeping to my rules”

and he just has to sit there pretending he can’t hear as Batman lists horrible reasons why keeping all the villains alive is better then just straight up killing them for his own sanity.

so early Tim’s motto when he wanted to kill a villains who was hurting people close to him and 100% deserved to die was:

“If i kill them now my revenge will end and hell’s will begins. I have to keep them alive so mine can continue”

Ofc as Batman recovers from all the grief of losing his son, and training the new Robin, he slowly stops thinking and saying stuff like that. Tim also knows that this thought process is wrong but it never fully goes away….

Years later when everyone is hanging out, Jason is complaining about why they have to keep the Joker alive and Tim just says what he used to say to himself all the time, out loud.

Tim: “if you kill the joker now your chance at revenge ends and hell’s begins, death is a mercy he doesn’t deserve. keep him alive, show him what hell wishes they could.”

And there’s just horrified and concerned looks from everyone in the room.

just a Au I enjoy exploring every once in a while. This would never happen but I love see a Tim with a slightly darker side to him that comes out every once in a while :p . hope you enjoyed it too

Anybody have any fic recs for the McCallisters finding out what Kevin did in the Home Alone movies?

I couldn't find any and thought I'd ask before setting to work on a post Home Alone 1 fic.

In book Peter waited for Miraz to stand up

In movie he decided to let Caspian kill Miraz and Caspian decided to not do it

Meanwhile in both Edmund was probably few seconds away from shouting ‘Let me do it!’

No one:

Absolutely nobody:

Okay is this why we get diagnoses:

Me, full of feral energy, in the midst of a research high and being chaotic as all get out: Must. Know. All the things! *is focused intently on the one subject to know all the things about* *feels like I'm about to vibrate out of my skin when I hit a stall*

Also me, five seconds later being squirrelly as we leave family friends' house: wait is this what people mean when they talk about ADHD hyperfixations?

Alfred- Actually, young masters, by that rule,not even I would be able to go on patrol, or Master Bruce.

The boys- ... what.

Bruce- ...

Alfred- I fought in war, and Master Bruce was rather sloppy both when he started out and during that interim in between Master Jason's death and Master Tim's coming. Also, alien invasions.

Tim- *nodding understandingly* Yeah, that's why I became Robin-...wait. Does that mean I failed to take care of all of Bruce's victims back then?

Alfred- The deaths were before you started calling the EMTs and police in Batman's footsteps, Master Timothy. Don't worry about it.

Bruce- *sighs* And when I started out I was fresh out of League training and had yet to form my non-lethal style of fighting. Which was why I wanted Damian to be trained before becoming Robin, Dick. Also, I was much more fond of bombs.

Jason- hold up hold up hold up. You have a kill count... But you won't kill Joker?

Bruce- Not for a lack of trying on my part. Clark stopped me before I stopped Dick.

Jason - 😐🥹🥲 you both tried to avenge me?

Bruce - yes, jaylad. Yes.

Batman, dividing everyone up for patrol- Jason, you're with Steph, Damian, you're coming with me, Dick, you're with Cass. Tim, are you fine going solo?

Tim- Yup

Jason- Oh, come on! Why does he get to go solo?

Batman- Your brother gets to go solo because he doesn't have a kill count.

Jason- Oh, he SO does

Tim, whispering- It doesn't count if he doesn't find the bodies

Not just that, but the show ninja have been growing darker and darker every day that they don't have their big brother with them, so... the day they crash through to the other side, Ninjago City is in t r o u b l e, and so is this knockoff of the guy that, by then, they'll have already defeated somehow. Because no matter how bitter and angry and separated they are, at the end of the day they're still family

Yo in SPbNR if M!Garmadon is having trouble with just S!Kai then imagine the rest of the series!ninja
