Oh god, I'm horrible this is so late but a special thanks to all of you who love it and want me to continue writing, it makes me all happy and I might add Dick's brothers, though I'm not sure yet because I want him to be the most cuddled little one but then I also like him as the big brother, so we'll see.
Disclaimer: I don't own it and I'm slightly glad I don't because I probably wouldn't be able to do half the awesome stuff others have done with them, except turning Nightwings suit red and black, that just seem stupid to me, I love him in blue, or Robin's colors or as Batman but with a retired bruce wayne, and a still alive and kicking Damian. That's it.
'Well, that was a pretty boring patrol, I hope Bruce had more fun than me, though the puppy part was awesome. Maybe if I see him again, it's a sign I should keep him right? Yeah, that's totally what it'll be.' Robin then proceeded to remove his domino mask, but before he could get started with the rest of his uniform he heard something scurrying in the dark.
'Is it a rat? Wait, no there's no rats, only bats. Heh, that rhymed. Wait, on topic Grayson!' With narrowed eyes, Dick decided to find out what the noise was by pretending to leave, but then he hid on the bat-computers spinny chair and waited.
Suddenly a dark ball of shadow ran forward and Robin came face to face with... the puppy!
"How the heck did you get here?" Dick wondered.
"Woof, ruff, yip" The dog responded.
"Did you just.. did you just try to answer me?" Dick retorted astounded. "No way, do you understand me?"
And then the dog nodded, he honest to god nodded. As if that wasn't enough the dog had nodded as if he thought that the boy was slow, or dense, possibly both.
"Well, it doesn't matter, you have to go doggy." Dick said as gravely as he could. The dog whimpered, then picked up the domino mask robin had dropped when leaping onto the chair, and dropped it pointedly at the boy's chair, as if black mailing him with it. Possibly even threatening to somehow find a way to reveal his identity.
"Well played, my four-legged friend, well played." Dick said. "But how will I ever get Bruce to agree?" He said aloud while picking up the pup. Just then the sounds of the Batmobile's engine were heard. "Well, speak of the devil", Dick said, "Now's as good a time as any to see if he approves of you." Dick proceeded to hop back into the chair, placed the dog in his lap, then proceeded to pet him like Doctor Evil would his weird cat.
This was the sight that met the dark knights eyes when he entered the bat-cave. 'Oh no, he's up to something.' The dark knight did a double-take. 'Is that a dog? Oh no, no way in heck.' But seemingly as if the dog and his son had read his mind, they both proceeded to then send him twin puppy dog pouts. You'd think the dark knight would be able to resist them, that he'd probably be immune, that it was as likely for him to succumb to this as it would be for superman to put up with Lex Luthor. You'd be wrong, dead wrong.
'Those eyes could crumble nations.' Batman sighed. "Fine, but you'll have to convince Alfred. And as if the pouting and twin puppy dog expressions weren't enough, upon hearing this the dog and his son both proceeded to smile, quite blindingly he might add. The last thought to go through the bat's mind was 'well, at least the rogues won't see it coming, and yes this dog does indeed have more to him than anyone could imagine. And well it was about time he started expanding his family.' He didn't realize it at the time, but he had just seemingly finalized yet another piece of fates design, and neither did he realize that his words would probably come back to bite him in the butt.
