Tim, Breaking In Ra's' Office: "We Need To Talk"

Tim, breaking in Ra's' office: "We need to talk"

Ra's: "Beloved, as much as I adore our meetings, I'm currently rather occupied - "

Tim, huffing: "I don't care. And trust me, you will want to defend yourself before I ask someone else"

Ra's: "... What is it?"

Tim: "Imagine my delightful surprise when, while updating your old ass softwares and doing back ups of your database, I found this"

*Tim pulls out photo of Dinah and Ra's kissing*

Ra's: "..."

Tim: "..."

Ra's: "It's not what you're thinking"

Tim: "Oh, f*ck you! 800 years alive and you can't make up a better answer?"

Ra's: "But it is not what you're assuming"

Tim: "It looks like you were head over heels over Dinah's big tits, lied to her about who you were, pretended to be a rich eccentric widowed millionaire and proposed marriage to her!"

Ra's: "... It might be what you're thinking!"

Tim: "Ra's!"

Ra's: "It was years ago! I would have shared that with you hadn't I known you would react like this"

Tim: "So you say this is my fault? How many exes have you hidden from me!?"

Ra's: "... I do not keep count of the people I bed, Timothy. Yet I promise Dinah is the only fiancee I didn't told you about. I have shared the names and deaths of every spouse that was part of my life."

Tim: "Are you sure?"

Ra's: "Do you doubt me?"

*Tim pulls out picture of Ra's with a kidnapped Diana, kissing her*

Ra's: "This is defamation "

Tim: "I'm so gonna kill you, old man!"

Ra's: "I swear they are the only ones I didn't tell you about. I even told you about Evelyn!"

Tim: "Because I was there when you married Evelyn, you geriatric idiot!"

Ra's: "There's no need to fight. I didn't marry Dinah nor Diana, and whatever feelings we had, they disappeared as fast as they came. They were lovely companions, but not..."

*Tim pulls out picture of Ra's and Ivy kissing*

Tim: "🙂"

Ra's: "Er, she drugged me?"

Tim: "You know what? I don't even want to keep going on with this"

Ra's: "Timothy, wait..."

Tim, on the doorframe: "Actually, one last thing"

Ra's: "... And that is?"

Tim, smirking: "I lied. I did sleep with Jean-Paul many times. I guess you're right to be jealous"

*Insert Ra's' scream of horror here*

Do you love to fight, or fight for love?

Idk where the whole "Tim hating Lex and being annoying to him and somehow being smarter" comes from... Oh, wait! I know where it comes from!

Annoying, ignorant batfam fans

And it's not even surprising if we take a careful look. We're talking about the fandom that doesn't understand Clark, Kon and Jon at all and uses them for batfam prop up purposes. It's the same fandom that doesn't even comprehend Batman characters and says the most disgusting stuff about Jean-Paul Valley (aka Azrael) as if his character wasn't summarized in like, five comics you can easily read. The same fandom that doesn't get Selina Kyle despite the fact that movies like The Batman exist, that the Long Halloween got an animated adaptation, that she has DOZENS of praised comics you can pick up to understand her. The same fandom that doesn't understand freaking Ra's al Ghul as if the guy didn't have a trilogy that literally summarizes his character and also he's an archetype, how the hell do you get an archetype so popular as his as wrong as batfam fandom does?

*insert Misty breathing loudly here*

Okay I kind of got off the point. I was talking about the annoying portrayal of Tim and Lex, because those who do that don't even understand Tim. Tim would *love* to interact with Lex.

This is Lex Luthor, Superman's nemesis, the smartest man of earth. Tim would be thrilled that he can have a chance of going against him even if he's actually just standing next to a Bruce who tries to get Lex to answer a question just to get Lex drinking wine and telling Mercy to call security.

Tim is a detective, and we have seen how, despite everything, he admits greatness when he sees it. I do think he could get a bit sarcastic with Lex when on his Red Robin persona (we have seen how sarcastic he got with Ra's even when Ra's is definitely more likely to shut him up than Lex is) but I actually don't believe he would do that often as he would be too conscious that if someone is a master of speech, it's Lex Luthor. His words got him all the power of the world after all. You don't wanna start a sarcasm fight with someone like Lex.

And I believe as Tim Drake, he openly admires Lex. Maybe not in a idol way, but Lex is a genius, and I bet on the DC world Lex's career is studied both by people in economy and politics and STEM. Lex did so much with so little that I highly doubt there's a way for Tim to not admit that yes, Lex may be *bad* but he's certainly a genius and perfect at what he does. Credit where it's due, or something.

Lastly, I don't think Tim hates Lex. They aren't close enough for that, and Lex is often dancing in a grey area, and don't forget Tim is already fine with many figures in said grey space. Tim would consider Lex a danger, of course, because getting on Lex's bad side can get him killed. He also considers Lex someone who can and will do good, but Tim isn't gonna be the one to go on that trip of getting Lex to see what his genius can make for the world (that's on Clark).

The only thing Tim could dislike about Lex it's that Lex hurt Kon. And Tim loves Kon (in whatever way you prefer) and Tim comes to me as the kind of person who can't quite forget those things. He would be wary, perhaps, constantly on his tip toes when operating too close to Lex's doings and clenching his jaw when Kon interacts with the man because as much as Tim knows Lex is always in control and won't hurt Kon again... He still did. But if Tim held that against Bruce, wouldn't Bruce lose on the number of children he has hurt? Tim can't quite settle his feelings on that, but Kon got over it, so it's not something Tim keeps against Lex.

Tim is careful around Lex, and he's also a bit of a fan.

And well, he is thankful too. Lex brought Kon into the world, and Tim is thankful for that.

(My conclusion is that some batfam fans have clearly never read Superman comics but also it's funny they haven't read Batman comics either and maybe they shouldn't speak on stuff they don't know but that's just my opinion right)

Tim is such a fangirl sometimes for Lex (and he hates it because he wants to be mad at him for hurting Kon but then there's Kon acting like nothing happened and Lex is decent to him so what would Tim do?) and he can't help to go a bit insane because he *needs* to know how someone can be this intelligent and somehow still human and he would turn Lex into a tiny person and study him if he could meanwhile Lex is oblivious for a long long time and just treats Tim like Kon's friend who comes to visit a bit too often but then one day Tim brings his suitcases and says he's staying because he fought with Bruce and after 48hrs Tim can't keep hiding his little bit of insanity and Lex...

Lex laughs. It's funny! It's cute! He doesn't even mind how Tim has all these complex emotions and fears and interests. Lex is used to people not knowing what to do with him, and truly, Lex is trying to be good and sees Tim as still a child (smart, a bit weird, definetely fits on Clark's hero side), so he just laughs it off. It infuriates Bruce.

I'm unsure if there could actually be a Lex and Tim bonding where they aren't a bit ooc but I do think Lex respecting Tim and acknowledging him back it's believable as long as it takes time and goes hand in hand with Lex fixing his relationship with Kon (and Clark). I like to think about it as this scenario where your best friend thinks that your parent, who is a scientist, it's very cool.

A bit weird, but flattering.

When Haru invited Legoshi over to her new apartment all he could think about was how much of a buffoon he would look like cramped onto her bunny-sized couch, or how he'd have to hold it if he needed to use the bathroom since he'd no doubt break a toilet built for someone her size. He arrived to see the front door was larger than expected and let out a restrained sigh, this place was clearly intended for larger herbivores like deer or goats and Haru had step stools scattered about to reach some of the larger installations of the house. As he followed her inside however it soon became clear he'd have to stay crouched over to avoid hitting the roof or light fixtures. Cearly Haru saw how sore his neck was after barely a minute of standing and brought him into her compact kitchen to sit down.

Despite Legoshi hugging his legs to his chest he was comfortable resting in her little home, the soft midday light and savoury smell of turmeric coming from their lunch on the stove made him smile briefly. When his eyes refocused Haru was smiling back at him from next to the stove and the sudden eye contact made him both run red in the face and begin sweating coldly down the back of his neck. I think she could tell he doesn't really visit friend's often and that thought made him even redder has he stammered to find a way to talk about literally anything.

When lunch was ready Haru filled two bowls fit for Legoshi's size and pushed her chair nice and close to Legoshi despite the amount of space available on the table . They ate amidst easy conversation.
