reading fanfiction and something so horrifically embarrassing happens you have to leave the app and take an instagram reels break
Eddie graduates, finds himself a shitty job that he keeps getting promoted at, and now he’s the manager.
That’s how he found himself wearing a tie, sitting across Goddamn Dave, the district manager, being told that he has to hire one of his friend’s kids, “And the kid’s friend, they’re a pair apparently.”
Which…what is this? Chain store nepotism? It’s bullshit.
“The kid’s not all there, head injury,” Goddamn Dave tells him. “Go easy on him.”
Then it turns out the kid isn’t even a teenager looking for a summer job. It’s twenty-something Steve Harrington from high school??? With a dog. And a lesbian.
“Service dog,” Steve says when he sees Eddie looking at it. “A dog with a job.”
“More of a hobby,” his friend - Robin, Eddie recognizes her - says. “He doesn’t get paid. His name is Steve.”
“His name is NOT Steve,” Steve - human - scoffed. “His birth name was Steve. He changed it.”
“They’re twins.”
Eddie does not roll his eyes into oblivion because he’s a goddamn professional. He just rolls them to the back of his head where Gene Simmons reminds him that if he wants to rock and roll all night, he needs to be employed.
He informs them of their shift schedules and barely gets through Steve’s when Robin says, “We have to work the same shifts. It was on our resume.”
Steve adds, “Also, we need to leave early today.”
Eddie thinks, goddamn Dave.
Steve, who has been adopted by every adult he’s ever met: I can’t meet your uncle, Eddie
Eddie: ???
Eddie: It’s not like Wayne is going to hate you
Steve: It’s worse.
Steve: He’s going to love me so much.

So. All of the masks/the batman cowl they all have. Cameras in them? So if something happens on patrol they have pictures.
This was supposed to be in case something back happened. Every like, minute or so, they take a picture which goes onto the batcomputer
One year for Christmas dick and Tim spend. Hours. Days. Going through the pictures from the cowl and making Bruce a scrapbook of just.. pictures of his kids? Because there aren't many pictures of them all together
And so you have like. Pictures of Damian and Tim ahead of him on patrol bickering and dick mid-fall because he was playing the "wait till the last second to grapple" game and then missed the trigger
The real gems are from the solo robin and batman patrols. Especially Jason and Dicks patrols
They find a picture of Jason all curled up in the batmobile sleeping in Bruce's cape its adorable
I think it's even cuter if Bruce like.. goes through the pictures a lot. And he leaves like. Notes? So he doesn't forget the context
Like under damian and Tim just "I have no idea what they were arguing about, but the look on Damians face.."
A note under a picture of little robin!dick looking MISERABLE and it's just "apparently his 'cool trick' was not worth the four stitches."
