“Hey Demon Brat,” Jason poked his head into the living room where Damian, Tim, and Bruce were sitting, with no bloodshed somehow, “I’m on my way to bother mom, you want to come with?”
“Bother Mother?” Damian cocked his head confused.
“Yeah, it’s Mother’s Day tomorrow.”
“Mother’s Day?”
“It’s a fictitious holiday where you're supposed to take the day to appreciate your mother. I’ve always tracked Talia down and made dinner for her.”
Tim blinked, “You track down… Talia al Ghul… to make her dinner?”
“Yeah? I mean she took care of me when I was in zombie mode and then got me teachers while protecting me from Ra’s. The least I could is make her dinner on Mother’s Day. I haven’t missed one yet.”
“So,” Jason turned back to Damian, “Do you want to come? Last year you were too injured for me to ask and the year before that you and mom were in too weird of a place for me to ask, and you should remember the other meals I made her.”
“You plan to visit Mother just to make her dinner?”
“Eh, I also got a picture of you rescuing a kitten from a tree and a few other cute but useless candid photos. She likes seeing you’re safe and happy, without having to pull out assassin surveillance. It’s actually part of an agreement we have that she won’t set surveillance as long as she gets a few photos every year.”
Damian nodded before turning to Tim, “Drake, I require photos of Todd to bring as my gift to Mother, as I believe a gift is expected at such occasions.”
“So you’re coming?” Jason tilted his head, “We need to head out soon.”
“I will gather clothing to wear tomorrow as Drake acquires the photos,” Damian turned to Tim, “If you would… please give me some.”
Time snorted, “I got a few things I could print out. Give me ten.”
Jason sighed leaning against the doorframe, “Alright Brat, we’re leaving in fifteen minutes so get your shit together.”
Bruce frowned as Tim and Damian left the room, “You’ve… visited her before.”
“Yeah, It’s sort of a truce time. No matter what’s happening, Mother’s Day dinner is a family thing. She’ll be excited to see Damian without all the,” Jason waved his hand vaguely to describe what the Bat Family’s relationship with Talia was like, most of the time.
“He’ll be safe?”
“Promise, now how embarrassing do you think the photos Timbit is grabbing are?”
Bruce snorted.
“Right, hopefully they’re not all too horrible.”
