First it was the clapping…then came the snaps in between…slowly, the sounds were becoming a somewhat familiar beat.
And then he sang.
"We are family!
I got all my brothers with me!
We are family!
Get up everybody and sing!
We are family!
I got all my brothers and father with me!
We are family!
Get up everybody and sing!"
His voice was going through walls and then through doors that had only just shut.
"Everyone can see we're together
As we swing on by
And we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
And all over Gotham, around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're just doling out justice in a family dose
We are family
I got all my brothers and father with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing!"
"What the hell, Dick, shut up!"
"I was just about to sleep!"
"Grayson! Cease your caterwauling!"
"Richard, we just ended patrol. Get to bed!"
An unrepentant laugh and then finally he leaves the hallway, holding close the warm cup of milk he'd brought up from the kitchen and enters his room.
Sometimes he just had to de-stress…at the expense of his family.
Also, LSS was only bearable if he made the songs at least a little more inspired.

It wasn't lss for me tho…just that the words popped up and then it made me think of Dick. He sounded drunk…or maybe exposed to some toxin but I thought, nah. He doesn't need much of a reason to troll(?) his family.
Cass isn't mentioned coz she wouldn't shout and also singing I've got all my brothers, sister and father with me…is too dang long. Song 'We are family' by sister sledge (sorry for ruining your song)
Sorry if it ain't funny... :( I don't own Batman et al :( :(
