Countdown to the Holidays
IV: Father
It was cold. Landing on the rooftop, Robin strolled quickly to the dark, looming figure.
"Hello, Father." There was a small nod then focus shifted away from him to the last person to arrive. The second Batman landed with a crouch. A mysterious rise in the theft of certain electronic components had required someone to track the stolen parts and determine the purpose of the integrated elements while the dynamic duo ran the group down. Since the burglaries had increased rapidly over the past several days Robin would track with Batman and Nightwing would investigate. It was very different from their usual routine but he felt honoured to work beside his father.
"How was your trip?" The small bird inquired. This was the first time he had seen the man since his return. Bruce Wayne had been on a tour of the S.T.A.R. Research facilities in Chicago.
"It went well," was the best Robin could expect to hear in the field. He heard the whisper of a cape as the second Batman stepped forward.
"Someone missed you terribly." The boy seethed at the lie. Whirling around to argue, he was dragged into another hug. Over the last few days, there had been a lot of them.
Finally set back on his feet, he glared daggers at the young man in the cape. The cowl was down and his grinning older brother bent forward, hands resting on his knees.
"You are a dead man, Grayson," he growled as he raised his hand. The gauntleted hand of his father stopped his own. Robin caught the silent warning and with a huff turned from the infuriating sight of his brother.
"Promise me you're going to be a good boy as well when I'm not around you, okay?" His brother requested cheerfully. A solid hand ruffled his hair. He was not sure why but it felt strangely final. Robin shook off the thought and the gloved hand.
"Tt. Grayson, unhand me..." The boy whirled around.
"...you.. idiot."
The rooftop was empty.

This was actually taken from very cute fanart:

Corrections welcome. Thanks for reading.
