Bat-Family Oneshots

early morning

Dick sat at the breakfast bar his plain black glasses perched on his nose, strong coffee in his hand and laptop illuminating his face as he worked on some paperwork. Dick sighed pushing his glasses up and looked at the clock it was currently 4:30 in the morning and he wasn't even halfway through the work he had left. He picked up his mug, taking a sip before returning to type away at the keyboard once again. He didn't release how much time had passed until he looked up to finished his coffee which had turned ice cold. He sighed deeply and rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly as he climbed to his feet and turned the kettle on ready to make more coffee. 

As the kettle was boiling he leaned down so the elbows were rested on the counter and his head was in his hands. He stayed like that for a while as he listed to the kettle, tiredly waiting for his next cup. Just as he started pouring the boiling water into his cup, he heard padded feet walking towards the kitchen. He sighed not wanting to talk to whoever it was, as the brim of the cup touched his lips, Jason walked through the door. 

When Jason saw him he lifted an eyebrow in question. Dick just ignored him and walked back to his laptop and sat down resuming his previous position of hunched over the keyboard. Dick ignored his younger brother as he sat down in front of hi with a cup of tea. They didn't talk, as jason sipped at his tea, the only sound to be heard, was the click click click of the keys. Dic could feel Jasons intense gaze, after about fifteen miniutes Jason gave up and spoke "Have you been awake all night?" Dick just grunted which Jason obviously took as a yes. "Dickie whats wrong?" the eldest just sighed and save the work before closing the lid and looked down at the cup that was now clutched in his handsm thinking "Nothing, really just a lot of work you know, the team, WE and i have a bunch of meetings tomorrow for work and at Gothem Academy about you three" Jasons brow furrowed "Why don't you wait till Bruce gets back so he can do the school meetings and you can put off the meeting at WE as well. Leaving only the paperwork, as for the team M'gann, Connor and Kaldur can take over for a while" Jason suggested, Dick shrugged "It's a lovely idea in theory but the meetings can't be put off at WE as they involve Luthor and you know how he gets. The school meetings have been put off for too long already and Mr Blake is demanding to see some form of guardian or he's calling Child services. As for the YJL M'gann, Conner and Kaldur are off-world and the only other two qualified to lead them are retired"

Jason now understood why his older brother was so stressed "Hey Dick it's okay we'll work out a plan, your not alone, your never alone alright you have me, Tim and Damian, we always have your back okay" Dick nodded but Jason could see that the words weren't really registering with the eighteen-year-old and he sighed. they fall into silence for about ten minutes "Alright here's my idea. I can take over YJL, until Bruce gets back. Im sure Tim will help out with the paperwork. You cancel all the meetings your can and as for the school well you have no choice but to go alright, but we'll start behaving while Bruce is away" Dick nodded but said "Im sorry" Jason got even more concerned "Why are you sorry?" Dick's head falls into his palms "That im so weak, that I don't have the strength, that you have to help take over your responsibilities" Jason sighed and said gently "Hey you have nothing to be sorry for, you do everything to the best of your abilities. Even B crumbles under stress you know but you wanna know why he keeps going cause he has you. You help lessen his load do you not? You do the negotiations, you do half the paperwork, you run the YJL and help run the JL and half of Wayne Enterprise and you act like a parent to uS. Do you not?" Dick was silent before saying "I guess?" Jason said "There is no guessing about it you do more than you ever should" rather sternly making sure it got through hid older brother head. 

they sat there for a few minutes and said "Come on, ill help you get to bed you need rest" DIck agreed despite it being morning already, he leaned against Jason tiredly as they made there way up the stairs. Jason quickly tucked his brother into bed and rushed off to find the younger two so they could help there brother not break himself.
