The summary of the fic I'm writing is just:
Ten-year-old!Tim intercepting Nightwing on patrol: hi
Nightwing: Hi there buddy :) you lost?
Tim: no
Nightwing: Do you need help?
Tim: no
Nightwing: ? What do you need then?
Tim, shyly: can you do a somersault for me?
Nightwing: Oh! I can do that :) which one?
Tim: the quadruple somersault please
Nightwing: Okay-
Tim: the one that only Flying Graysons could do.
Nightwing: ...Is that right?
Tim: i know you're Dick Grayson. adopt me and I won't tell anyone
Nightwing:
Nightwing, squinting: You're the Drake kid. When did you become an orphan?
Tim: i didn't
Tim: but I can if that's a requirement
Nightwing: Are you suggesting you would kill your parents?
Tim: ...no?
Nightwing: Kid-
Tim: my name's Tim
Nightwing: Tim, you can't kill your parents.
Tim, stubbornly: you can't parent me until you adopt me
Nightwing, remembering how much he put Bruce through: This is karma.
One month later
Bruce: Dick! I didn't know you were visiting! Not that I'm upset, I'm really glad, it's just a surpise-
Bruce: Whose kid is that.
Dick, exhausted: Mine apparently.
Tim: hi :D
Bruce, assuming Tim is five because he's small: You got someone pregnant at sixteen?
Jason, at the same time: You stole a kid?
Tim: I know you're Batman and Robin :D
Dick: What part of this looks like I had a choice. He was planning to kill his parents.
Tim: they just handed over custody so I didn't have to :D
Dick: I'm sorry for being a difficult kid, but please fix this, he's not eating
Jason: Have you tried peanut butter or potatoes?
Bruce: He knows our identities? And planned to kill his parents?
Dick, ignoring Bruce: Tim's not a dog.
Tim: i like peanut butter. and potatoes
Jason: See, Dickhead? I know stuff.
Dick: You're the smartest person ever, Little Wing, now how do I make that into a full meal
Bruce: Why does a murderous child know our identities?
Dick, frowning: Let the kid eat first, Bruce.
Jason: Yeah, Bruce. Why do you want the kid to starve?
Bruce: I didn't-
Tim: you want me to starve? i'm sorry :(
Bruce: Oh my God
