Summary
"No offense, but you look really stressed. You got other things going on?"
You sighed again, forcing your shoulders to drop. "Yeah. It was a rough day at work, I got yelled at by a lot of impatient patients. Almost lost multiple people. Then I came home and discovered that apparently I had a hidden security camera, but I know I didn't put one up, and management is apparently pissed about it."
Jay went very still for a moment. "A security camera? Doesn't the building already have some?"
"No it does not, but that's not the point. The point is…" You trailed off when you noticed the carefully neutral expression on his face. "No. Uh-uh. Tell me you did not put up a camera outside my apartment."
Jay was silent.
You, however, were not. "What the fuck Jay?!"

Summary
Why wasn't he just barging in like he always did? So you made your way to the door and flung it open with a teasing remark on your lips. "Oh come on Jay, what's--"
Jason was standing outside like you'd been expecting, but he had someone else with him; a younger boy who looked maybe twelve or thirteen, and who barely came up to Jason's elbow. He had messy black hair and sharp blue eyes that stared up at you calculatingly, along with a frown. If you hadn't already known that all of Jason's brothers were adopted, your first impression would've been that this was a younger version of him, just with slightly sharper features and slightly more of a tan.
"Hey," Jason greeted you. "Uh, sorry I couldn't ask you earlier, but something came up last minute and I have to babysit. Figured I'd do introductions before just bringing him inside."
"I don't need a babysitter, let alone two of them," the young boy protested.
"Yeah whatever." Jason rolled his eyes before gesturing to you and introducing you to the boy. "And this is the demon spawn. Kid, you better be nice."

Summary
"Patrol was cut short."
"Yeah, because it's pouring out there," you pointed out helpfully. "I'd call you guys even crazier than usual if you stayed out there in this kind of storm."
Robin tutted under his breath as he wrapped the towel around his shoulders. "We're not that unwise." Orphan shot him an unreadable look, and you were about to fondly argue with him when Robin's uniform meowed.
Orphan raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms, shifting her weight to one leg. You blinked at Robin in surprise. Robin - somehow - managed to look unaffected as he pulled a kitten from somewhere inside his uniform.
"'Not that unwise'," Orphan echoed dryly.

Summary
"....bad night?" you asked quietly.
He let out a harsh, almost broken laugh. "You could fuckin' say that."
Oh-kay. Well that didn't sound good.
You paused and took a moment to study Jay a little more closely. He looked agitated and restless, almost on edge. His fingers were constantly tapping against his leg, and even through the mask you could tell his gaze kept bouncing around from you, down to the streets, back up to the buildings across the street, then back down to his hands; like he had too much energy and no good way to get rid of it.
"...is it something you wanna talk about?"
He shook his head, hesitated, started to nod, then shook his head again. Stopped. Gave an awkward shrug instead.
The only other time you'd ever seen him look this unsure was the time when he'd gotten dosed with fear gas. You didn't like it.

Summary
"C'mon Alex, you need to work with me here," you tried to gently coax him. You didn't want to fully wake him up if you could avoid it, but you weren't sure how else you were gonna get him back down to the apartment.
"I can carry him," Jay offered, setting the telescope case down on the ground.
You glanced up, surprised. "What? No, it's okay, I've got him."
"Seriously, sweetheart, it's not a problem."
You looked back at Alex, who was barely staying on his feet, and remembered how it was nearly impossible for you to carry him anymore, even though he was a little small for his age. "...okay," you relented. "If you're sure."
"I've carried Nightwing before, Alex is nothing." Jay grinned, then crouched down next to your son. "C'mere buddy."
