From what Jason knew, Bruce and Talia’s paths had diverged sometime before Jason had even stepped foot into the manor, but no one would bring their ex-husband’s adopted son back to life as a gift without feeling some semblance of love. And after hours of thinking and analyzing Bruce’s weird personality, Jason was sure Bruce felt something too.

He watches the itty-bitty little cat burglar scurry out the 72nd floor window and gracefully make their way up to the roof. He sighs, spreads his wings, and soars across the gap between the two buildings.

Dick lands directly in front of a startled little cat boy with the cutest little white-tipped, fluffy black ears and a fluffy little tail that hasn’t elongated out from the triangular, baby shape.

“Screw you, bird-brain,” the kitten growls, trying to blow his white fringe out of his eyes with a puff of breath. But coming from a 4ft. tall, 60lb. baby it’s nothing but adorable.
