A/N: I'm glad you're all enjoying this. The reason for the sudden splurge in posts probably has something to do with the fact I just played (and finished) Arkham Knight last weekend. The game and the storyline of all the Arkham Games is awesome! My only problems with it was, not enough opportunity to play as Nightwing (if you do play the video game, do the fight modes with Nightwing. Zapping people with the escrima sticks is soo much fun).
greengirltalks, thanks! jdcocoagirl, thank you too! kagome04, I love Batman and the way he secretly cares about everyone but he'll never actually show it. Guest (chapter 2 review), thank you! I am keeping it up. :D Guest (chapter 4 review), (I don't know if you're the same reviewer) but yes, Chapter 4 is one of my favourites too. Kessy Rods, glad you enjoyed. Here is more! Callian31, lol. Batman is emotionally constipated.
The Requests of A Robin

Subject: Returned Favour
Dear Semi-Decent-But-Not-Entirely-Painful-Half-Sister-From-A-Not-Entirely-Horrible-Mother
I seem to recall you owe me a favour for procuring you information about a certain shared acquaintances birthday gift.
It would seem the honourable thing to do by returning said information with your exact birthdate.
It would be in your best interest to do so promptly.
Sincerely,
Robin

Dear Flash-Ruined-The-Flow-Of-Time-So-Now-I'm-Stuck-With-You-Half-Twerp-Baby-Bro,
Wow. Laying it on a bit thick there, Demon Brat.
Why do you want to know?
Are you going to *gasp!* buy ME a present?
Love,
Huntress

Dear Not-Horrible-To-Look-At-With-A-Half-Decent-Personality-Sister-Who-Is-Half-Related-To-Me,
No. I will not be procuring a present for you, unless of course it is your birthday soon and then I may consider gifting you if you give me the answer within due course. It is just information I need to know. I also must insist you give it to me because you are in my debt.
Sincerely,
Robin

Dear Flamebird,
I have been told we are related. After watching you fight a few times, I do not believe it. You are inferior compared to me.
How is it that we share DNA?

Then may I inquire as to why you use the moniker, 'Cat-girl'? Not even the half-daughter of my father's misguided indiscretions from another universe uses the name, and she is the Catwoman's daughter.

Dear Batwoman,
I was looking on the Bat-computer about Alice. I couldn't access the files. They seem to be under some sort of lock. As she seems to be your nemesis, would it be possible for you to unlock them for me.

Um, no. I was never adopted or taken as a ward by Batman. But I lived above the cave for long enough to think of myself as apart of the family.

Dear Red Hood
If I was to leave you off a family tree, how emotionally mortified would you be on a scale of 'Nightwing will frown at me' to 'Nightwing will make me apologise'?
Sincerely,
Robin
From: Red Hood (angrybird(a)thecave-dot-com)

Subject: RE: Answer this for me
Hmmm. I'd say a solid, 'Nightwing will try and comfort me until I death glare him away because I don't actually care. Then he'll tell you to talk to me but I'll punch you in the face if you try'.

Will you cry after Nightwing leaves you alone?
Because he knows these things, you know. I'm quite certain he has some sort of precognitive ability to sense emotional distress.
