This marks their public debut as a group and also the debut of the female counterparts the Batgirls. The song used here is the Alvin and the Chipmunks version of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. Dick would be a freaky drama queen here be warned.
"Can we go now?" Jason grumbles impatiently. Alfred chuckles as he helps Damian to knot his tie. "Now now Master Jason. No need to be impatient." Says Alfred. Jason scowls and folds his arms. Bruce was invited to a party and was taking the boys with him. The downside: they all had to wear black suits, something that Jason did not particularly enjoy. Tim pats him on the shoulder. "There there Jaybird." He said. Jason simply pouts. "Why must I wear this?" Damian asks as he fiddles with his tie. Bruce then walks into the room, adjusting his own tie. "Right now is everyone ready?"
"Wait, where is Big Bird?" Damian asked. Before anyone could say anything, Dick slides into the room. "The bird has arrived!" he says in a sing song tone. Bruce mentally facepalms. Trust Dick to sing as usual.
"Right kids now let's go!" They arrive a couple minutes later at Gotham Atrium where the vent was being held. The boys then head downstairs, greeting all the guests as politely as possible, comporting themselves as good well-mannered kids, a stark contrast to how they are really like which only a few people know. "Ah, there they are!" The Waynes turn around as Jim Gordon, Bruce's business partner and best friend since kindergarten walks over to them with three young girls around each of the boys' ages right behind him.
"They your daughters?" Bruce asks. Jim nods. "As a matter of fact they are! This is Barbara." He points at the oldest one who is Dick's age mate dressed in a cute pink dress. She bats her eyelashes at Dick who winks back at her.
"That's Cassandra." A tiny Asian girl smiles at Jason who wags his eyebrow. "That is Stephanie." The blonde in question smiles and waves at Tim who blushes. Jim Gordon then stares down at the youngest one with dark hair dressed in purple who had hidden herself behind her father's feet. "That is my little baby Mari." Damian pokes his head from behind his brother's back and stares at the girl who blushes. He then walks over to her and holds out his hand. "Don't be scared. I won't hurt you." He tells her reassuredly. Mari hesitantly comes out and takes his hand and smiles at him.
"Ok kids, how about you get to know each other?" says Bruce as he and Comissioner Gordon head off to chat elsewhere. "You look cool!" says Barbara. Dick grins proudly. "Why of course I am cool mon Cherie. I mean, we are Waynes and we Waynes love to live large." Barbara giggles. "Yeah well, we Gordons are no slouches." Dick raises an eyebrow. "Oh yeah?" She nods.
Mari and Damian simply stare at each other and smile. Jason places a hand over Cassandra's shoulder. "Tell me something, what kind of guys do you like?" Cassandra giggles and blushes. "Oh I don't know...tall, dark and handsome." Jason smirks. "If that is the case, then I'm your man."
Tim and Stephanie meanwhile engage in a little science convo. "Really? You can create that?!" Stephanie exclaims. Tim chuckles. "It took me a couple of tries to get it right but I got it anyway. Will show you sometime." Some boring band plays music in the background boring the kids out.
"You know, this party is starting to get a little boring for my liking ya know?" Barbara says with a little sigh. It was at that point that a wicked idea lights up in Dick's brain. Oh do I have an evillous idea.
Bruce sighs as he sips another glass of wine whilst watching the guests. Then suddenly, the lights go out. "Huh, is something wrong with the power?" a guest asked. Bruce furrows his eyebrow in suspicion. I hope it is not who I think it is.
The light come back on and everyone's attention is diverted to the main stage where the band was, In their place were the Robins. "Oh my-" Dick then opens his mouth and sings.
[Dick]Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh
Caught in a bad romance
Whilst he sings this part, he locks eyes with Barbara who blushes faintly. The others soon join in as well.
[Robins] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh
[Dick] Caught in a bad romance
Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah
Roma-roma-maa
Gaga-u-la-la
Want your bad romance
The guests then start to shake loose and dance along to the music. Bruce just stands there, unsure about whether to scold the boys or praise them for turning a rather boring event into a more lively one. Jim pats him on the shoulder. "They are really talented, those boys of yours." He nods. He has no choice but let them be free to express themselves.
[Robins]Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah
Roma-roma-maa
Gaga-u-la-la
Want your bad romance
During the performance, Dick begins to show off some crazy dance moves, making some ladies in the audience to squeal. Barbara frowns at those girls. No one takes my Dickie from me!
[Dick]I want your ugly
I want your disease (hey)
I want your everything
As long as it's free
I want your love
[Robins]Love, love, love
I want your love (yeah, hey)
The real shocker was hearing the little baby sing. Usually Little D would hide behind his brothers but this time around, they are letting him take the spotlight. Bruce claps and cheers for his son, finally letting go and having fun. Seeing his dad cheer for him made Damian smile cutely, melting the hearts of the older ladies in the audience.
[Damian] I want your drama
The touch of your hand
I want your leather-studded kiss in the sand
And I want your love
Love, love, love, I want your love
[Robins] Love, love, love, I want your love
[Jason]You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
[Tim]I want your bad
Your bad romance (hey)
[Dick and Jason]I want your lovin'
And I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
[Tim and Damian]Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh
[Dick and Jason] I want your lovin'
All your love is revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
The real surprise was Dick announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Batgirls!"The Gordon sisters scurry over to the stage and sing along too. "Wait, so your girls can sing huh?!' says Bruce. Jim gasps. "Even I am surprised."
[The Batgirls] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh
[Barbara]Caught in a bad romance
(Repeat)
[Batgirls and Robins]Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah
Roma-roma-maa
Gaga-u-la-la
Want your bad romance
When Barbara sings her part, she pulls Dick by the tie and draws him closer to her, locking eyes with him. Dick smirks and winks playfully at her. They then break apart and Barbara does a couple of cool dance moves of her own as though challenging Dick. Their fathers glare at each other. "Kids of nowadays." Says Bruce. "Tell me about it." Says Jim.
[Barbara ]I want your horror

'Cause you're a criminal

Once they finish their performance, the entire room gives them a standing ovation. "You didn't tell me that you guys can sing." Says Barbara. Dick chuckled. "You are one to talk Babs." Their parents walk over to them. "Usually I would scold you kids for this but not tonight." Says Bruce. The kids all grin at each other. "That was amazing I must say."
"Splendid! Absolutely splendid!" They all turn around as music tycoon Oswald Cobblepot walks over to them, his assistant Selina Kyle following right behind him. "Forgive me Mr Wayne and Mr Gordon but these kids of yours are quite awesome!"
Damian places his hands on his hips. "Lemme guess, Arkham Records CEO Oswald Cobblepot correct?" he says in his most business-like tone. Bruce smirks. When it comes to business transactions which is what this situation is, Damian would be really sassy.
Selina smiles at the kid. "Your youngest right?" Bruce nods. "Yup, that's Damian or Little D as we call him." Selina chuckles softly. "He is so cute." Damian pouts at this. "I am not cute!" he whines. Everyone laughs. "Say, how about we meet up for lunch huh? Cos your kids do have loads of potential ya know?"
Bruce and Jim stare at the kids who all give nods of approval. "Very well then, we shall see each other at the Hard Rock Café tomorrow for lunch to discuss their careers." Says Jim. The kids all jumped up and squealed with joy at this news.
"Perfect! Absolutely Pefect! Soon I shall be a star!" Dick shouts as he fist pumps. Barbara snorts. "Yeah but you and I know that there can never be two big stars in one place." She says. Dick glares at her. "Is that a challenge Miss Gordon?" She smirks. "Why course Mr Wayne." He smirks. "May the best kid win."

And that is the opening sequence and just a little teaser.
