That Was the Day Jason Decided—He Would Become Robin.
Not for honor.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZhM328cfE
Not for glory.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78SU9xNmDl
But because he never wanted to see Nana sitting alone by a hospital bed, begging again.
At first, Bruce said no.
Jason was reckless. Stubborn.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBrLcC0SbJ
Too emotional.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReVVwZfu4z
Not what Bruce imagined when he thought of “a proper Robin.”
So Jason teamed up with Alfred, snuck out at midnight in full gear,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJPhZYN7T3
and left behind a note:
“You can say no. But I’ve already started.”
The next day, Bruce crushed a cup in his hand from sheer frustration.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTonVpswYZP
But he understood—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMLcNacgkb
the boy had already made up his mind.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShVlqUgW8R
So he accepted it.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGbY6v83Hw
Even if he never said a single word of praise.
When Nana found out,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe9nEF5vji
she lit up like a lamp.
She secretly saved up five dollars of allowance money for a month and bought three notebooks:
- One was Robin-only — Jason’s personal clippings and scrapbook.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N9pB81Ihl
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuPGW1uUoW - One was Batman-only — news reports and Bruce’s analysis.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW2tKNCaSX
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Gyf9P5Ng - The last was for the two of them together — a record of their missions and any photos of the dynamic duo.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufMvHbGRrm
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgbCc2M6ne
Every night after homework,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3SMxmSm6V
she curled up under the lamp, cutting and pasting, writing dates and comments.
Sometimes she’d scribble little notes next to Robin’s photos:
“Jumped a bit slow today.”60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cmSkGtnMG
“Nice angle. Cool.”60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKeI8r1uVQ
“Looks tired. Still wanna pat his head.”
But she never let Jason see them.
One time, he peeked.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jJK6OgHc0
She caught him and scolded him so harshly, he never dared to peek again.
One day, Dick saw the notebooks and teased,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2yfIdA0Ws
“Nana, sweetheart~ where’s mine? I want one too!”
That night, she borrowed money from Jason.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIuUifPsc8
The next day, she bought a new notebook—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgGdhtOQZz
and began cutting and pasting.
For Nightwing, the guy in the next city.
Dick was thrilled.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw09Qr20JTm
Meanwhile, Nana grumbled as she worked:60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxhOY5w4qp
“Why are all his photos just his back?”
Jason’s face turned as black as a Gotham alley.
From that day on, Jason started inspecting her Nightwing scrapbook daily.
Any Nightwing photo that showed his lower half?
Covered.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt0a9lTYsq
With industrial-grade electrical tape.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFgEtcxdGq
Not a single one was spared.
Nana kicked him out of rage.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcKvaE3EuL
But the next day, he taped them again.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmITBgxlz7
Perfectly. Just the right angle to cover it all.
That was their everyday life.
In a city full of shadows and danger,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOUDyPgUmC
they stitched together their own small world—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHJmNpiNjI
thread by thread.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Ybcgfroj
🔸 Time Passed.
Jason and Nana were now in ninth grade.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7xU9kTy3q
It had been five years since they were taken into Wayne Manor.
The years hadn’t just left them with memories—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSTgBwC3Wo
but visible, undeniable changes.
With proper nutrition and strict training,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHkfn1nvOV
Jason was growing like a balloon pumped full of air.
His height broke records every month.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHjMr12J1q
His pants couldn’t keep up with his legs.
Nana became his personal stylist-slash-manager,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0eepGoNeu
inspecting his cuffs and hems like she was on a mission.
“This one’s no good. Sleeves too short.”60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZPmZpfbhX
“Are those shoes tight? You’re walking weird.”
Jason always said,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ywUZ1CH4R
“It’s fine.”60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSpVMlLYRQ
But he’d still end up getting dragged out for new ones.
And Nana herself had changed too.
From the skinny little girl she once was,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZPKHjCNQU
she was now gently blossoming into a girl with soft curves and quiet grace.
The baby face had faded.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrpbl7Pfn4
Her eyes now held calm and composure—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rGBdEbsa0
except when she was with Jason.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15oa8QthPx
Then the old smile returned.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBHSITm2ye
🔹 Two Years Ago
Bruce watched them from the training room—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQTmGmpU5A
no longer kids.
Wiping sweat, exchanging glances, handing each other water.
He cleared his throat and said flatly,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnPJMwPjPE
“You two are getting separate rooms.”
Jason: “…What?”60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvVh83jL2A
Nana: “…?”
Bruce’s face was stone:60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfqAxJPg2A
“You’re teenagers now. You need boundaries.”
Alfred and Dick nearly choked on their laughter.
Alfred sipped his tea and said,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD9I4PXB2V
“Master Bruce has finally realized he’s the father of three. A historic moment.”
Dick added,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoSeBfjRxX
“And one of the pairs has been rooming together for three years. You just noticed?”
Bruce ignored them.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztcIB4B90l
He went ahead and installed a new room lock system—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vII7lUtve
with enhanced door monitoring, of course.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7axGAZKYB
Nana’s scrapbooks continued.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOfV0jOY4t
Just more slowly now.
She was on volume 12.
Not out of laziness—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BpMlrYJaR
but because Batman and Robin’s stealth had improved to near-mythic levels.
Getting a clear photo was harder than breaking into Gotham Central Bank.
She complained once.
Jason heard it—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlwkj8Uv2e
and the next mission, he deliberately paused for five extra seconds60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL10i82Uwq
so the photographers could catch a shot.
Nana was mad—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf7QDnS4Hy
but she still pasted the photo into her book.
Next to it, she added a note:
“He obviously paused for me. Still—handsome.”
But the most shocking part?
Brooklyn was obsessed with Nightwing.
His scrapbook had reached volume 20.
Every page—
lower halves taped up.
Nana:60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFheqmVM9G
“Don’t you think that’s weird?”60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLbylhtc86
Jason:60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDXrC7NnrM
“No. I think it’s comforting.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UOsjXnyuH
🔸 A Silent War
There was another battle.
One Nana didn’t know about.
After Jason started learning surveillance, counter-surveillance, and anti-bugging,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9eikbQqgb
he came back from a mission one night—
and picked up a tiny transmission in Nana’s room.
A bug.
Sender?60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gNkMdeNXt
Batman.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbteOQoKZwv
And Nightwing.
That night, Jason’s face turned darker than Gotham’s storm clouds.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY9UwO8qZE
He spent the entire night dismantling and replacing.
He didn’t remove the device—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JM5pOWMog
he replaced it with his own.
From then on, he started a daily ritual:
Scanning her sleeves for pinhole mics,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukb78W7kJp
her desk corners for receivers,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k3Ui78uil
even her shoes.
One by one—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jJt66TzAH
he replaced everything60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLehd4OSL6
with tech of his own design.
His rule was simple:
“Everything around Nana… belongs to me. No one touches her. No one.”
Alfred watched the quiet war unfold.
In his monitoring logs,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtJ3fBtZ2o
the devices around Miss Nana rotated in source:
Batman → Nightwing → Jason60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaVYIpsmK4
and back again.
Each sweep was like watching three lions circle the same territory.
No one backed down.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtNaFhHs1n
No one trusted the others.
Alfred sighed and switched off the screen,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2qVPR3TQL
murmuring to himself:
“Those three… truly are the most dangerous unit of all.”
