Dogs Gotta Obey
Ref:
Clark opened Batman's contingency plans, how you make a contingency plan for yourself he didn't know, but Batman managed to make two dozen. The league looked on behind him nervously, if this didn't work they'd have to make a plan themselves. Making plans was something Batman had always been the best at and a skill he'd retained mind contolled.
The first contingency plan only contained 2 things; a phone number and... Another phne number. Barry voiced the words all of them were thinking "Just two numbers, That's all? Whose are they?
Dinah sighed "only one way to find out." Clark called the first number, on the third ring someone picked up.
"Who is this and what do you want?" The voice was young, way too young.
"This is the Justice League-"
"What happened to Batman?" The voic- no kid, it had to be a kid. But why would Batman put a kid's number on his own contingency plan? -asked, taking on a more urgent tone.
Oliver spoke this time "He's being mind controlled, your number was in his first contingency plan"
The voice gained a little tone of surprise. "My number was in the contingency plan? Was there anything else?"
"Just another phone number, ____"
"That's agent A's, I'll make my way over now" The whole league was stunned. Did the kid just hang up? Since when did Batman know kids? Batman would have a lot of questions to answer when this ended.

Sure enough, half an hour later a kid walked into the watchtower. The kid was wearing a red, yellow and green costume and sported a domino mask.
Barry felt very dumb at the moment. "Are you a hero?"
"I'm Robin, Batman's partner"
"Doesn't Batman work alone?"
"Batman is in denial about being a big softy and doesn't like telling you anything." Did the kid just- "Also you should annoy him more, he keeps telling me I should stop and he uses you lot as an example" This kid must have no survival instincts.
Robin walked up to the big computer and logged in... How did this kid have access? The next thing they knew footage was pulled up- Was that from Batman's cowl?! "The footage got cut off, what I saw before that suggests Batman didn't lose any of his intellect under the mind control.
"Is that bad?" Superman didn't know why he trusted Robin's analysis but he did.
"He'll be a harder opponent to deal with but it might be easier to break the mind control or anticipate his next move" The boy's eyes kept darting across the screen, taking in information- Communications offline, Villain Profiles, Street footage -before he stood up.
Robin looked at each of the heroes individually with a calculating eye. "I have a plan, but I'd prefer to have your help than do it without" The members of the Justice League shared a hesitant glance.
Bonus:
"Don't ever make me have to fight you again!"
"I can remove you from the continge-"
"That's not what I meant! ..I'd be more worried if i couldn't do anything about it"
"I'll try to not get mind controlled again."
"...I forgive you"
Not what I expected coming from John Green
I said what I said.
Jason finds out that Tim is Robin and immediately confronts him which goes something like this:
Jason: so you're Robin, huh? you know I used to be Robin. How does it feel to steal a name?
Tim: emphasis on "used to be Robin." And I'm the 3rd robin. YOU set the precedent for stealing names. What's that? I can't hear you over the sound of Joker wanting his name back, RED HOOD
Jason: :(
And then some time later when Tim is Red Robin, Jason comes and finds him again like
Jason: wow you're doing it again. Stealing names from me (even if it's an alternate version of me)
Tim: remember that time you dressed up as Nightwing and killed people cause I do. I have the footage of it too.
Jason: >:(
Somehow, in the far future, Tim's canonical age finally moves past 17, and his siblings take him out for his 21st birthday
Dick, placing some vodka shots in front of him: Time for your first drink! I can't believe you've already grown so much!
Jason: Drink those slowly, alright? Do you need us to dilute them or-
Tim, already downing the shots in under three seconds flat: Can i have more
Jason:
Dick:
Cass, covering Damian's eyes:
Tim: uh I mean ooh! It burns! It's...so bitter haha
