Summary
Talon coos softly, slipping through the window. It brings a cold draft with it, air heavy with the promise of snow, and Talon quickly slides the glass back in place in an attempt to keep the warmth inside.
The lump in its nest moves, a dark head popping up from the tangle of fabric with hair sticking in all directions, sleep mussed.
Jason yawns, blinking into the darkness, and Talon is unspeakably proud when its chick finds it immediately even though it’s standing still. Its chick is getting better at seeing in the dark.
“Talon?“ Jason asks, voice hoarse from sleep, but he still tacks on tiny chirrup. Their own unique way of greeting.

Summary
“There is no way,” Jason said, “That this is Dickwing.”
The child in Bruce’s arms glared at him, a fierce expression for such a little itty-bitty thing. Another point in the “this random child with black hair and blue eyes is not Dick” column. Dick, from the stories Jason remembered getting out of Bruce and Alfred, hadn’t been this small.
“Jason,” Bruce replied, tone a bit harsh. He’s stressed. Jason’s supposed that was a point in the “Dick was turned into a literal child” column.
Or: after a run in with magic, Dick is left as a child. No one is having a fun time, who knew Dick liked to hide from everyone constantly?

Summary
Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.
From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.
The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.
All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.
Bruce couldn’t let that happen.
Not then, not ever again.
-🦇-
Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.
