Big Bird, Little Wing, Baby Bird and Mini Bat: Ever After
Random one shot drabbles about Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian when they grow up and have families of their own. Mostly family fluff.
Rated T for language (mainly from Jason) and sexual references (also from Jason).
I do not own Batman or anything related (If I did Damian would not have died, Dick would still be Nightwing, Tim wouldn't be a swan queen, everyone's origins wouldn't be screwed up, and the New 52 would not exist…. Except for Red Hood and the Outlaws)
Dick is 26, Jason is 22, Tim is 16, and Damian is 13 in this chapter.
Chapter 1: Ever After
Jason's POV
I could hear shouting in the cave as I peered around the corner to see Bruce and Dick yelling at each other.
"They can't just leave him there to die!" Dick yelled at Bruce.
"It's out of my hands, Dick." Bruce calmly replied.
"Clark's not even going to inform Dinah and Ollie about him! He's their son!"
"The League cannot help. We'd be meddling in foreign affairs if we-"
"Bruce, Roy's life is at stake. They will kill him."
Roy's in trouble? The Justice League can't help? What is going on?
"Dick, calm down. You're getting married in three days. There's nothing we-"
"Barbara'd understand. She'd-"
"No. The President has ordered that the League not get involved… They can't do anything in Quraci."

Tim's POV
I could see armor piercing bullets and magazines on Jason's bed as I pushed his door open. He had a duffel bag on his bed. Before I could see what was inside, his hand encased my wrist.
"What are you doing in here, Tim?" he coldly asked, releasing my hand.
"Where are you going?"
"None of your business."
"You're going after Roy aren't you?"
"Try and understand-"
"You could die! It's too dangerous! You can't-"
"I know!" He hissed.
"Dick's getting married in three days. You just can't leave and-"
"I'll be back before then."
"But-"
"I'll be fine."
"Jay, don't go." I pleaded.
"You'd go if it was Conner or Bart." He pointed out.
"Yeah, but… I'd bring backup with me."
"Sorry, Babybird. This is a solo mission."
"Fine… I'm telling Bruce!" I yelled and turned to leave.
I made it to the door before his hand closed over my mouth as he pinned me to the floor.
"Stop struggling! Look, I'm not gonna hurt you, but this is something I have to do… He saved my life. I owe him… You'd do the same for your friends." He pleaded, removing his hand from my mouth and letting me up.
"Fine… I won't tell, but you have to take someone with you for backup."
"You can't go with me. I can't be worrying about you."
"I know. But, you have to take someone." I sighed.
"And who do you suggest?"

Dick's POV
Everyone was silent at the Justice League meeting. Everyone knew what was happening. Roy Harper would be executed in a few minutes. Ollie and Dinah didn't even know. They couldn't know. Ollie was home with a broken leg as Dinah took care of him and their daughters.
Everyone looked up as the doors burst open. An angry Black Canary marched into the room with mascara running down her face.
"Damn you Clark! This is your fault! They're going to kill my baby and you're not even going to do anything! How dare you keep this from us!"She yelled as Diana quickly leapt up and tried to calm her down.
"Dinah, I'm so sorry. But, Arsenal knew what he was getting into. He knew the risks of going-" Clark began before stopping as a live streaming flashed across the screen.
Everyone looked up as Dinah started crying harder. The live streaming was from Quraci… They're broadcasting Roy's execution.
The screen soon displayed a prison in Quarci. Roy was being marched through the prison as a pastor approached him. Roy looked horrible. He was skeletal, his hair was long and unruly, bloodied bruises littered his body.
They came to a stop in front of the overweight pastor. The man opened his Bible as smoke pellets hit the ground. Everyone kept their eyes focused on the screen as the smoke began to clear.
In place of the pastor was the Red Hood.

Jason's POV
We stood back to back. Arrows and bullets rained down upon the approaching terrorists.
"Here's hoping this wasn't as well thought out as the rescue is going to get." Roy muttered.
"Rescue might be a bit overselling it… Come on!" I yelled and ran over to the prison wall with Roy at my heels.
"Hood! RPG!" he yelled, tackling me as the rocket zoomed over us and exploded into the wall… Huh, that works too.
The wall quickly crumbled as we ran for the opening. A Jeep lied ahead of us.
"Hop in." I ordered as he stared at me in shock. "Roy Harper, speechless? You just made this whole trip worth it."
I shoved his in shock ass towards the Jeep before getting behind the wheel and gunning it.
"I wonder if it's too late to get my cell back?" he asked, shooting an arrow at an approaching thug.
"You're more than welcome to stay."
"What were you thinking, Roy?" I asked.
"I was set up. Cheshire was the one that bombed their government. I didn't do it. I only came here because I was after her… She escaped and left me to take the blame."
"You were having sex when she escaped, weren't you?"
"Come on! She's so damn sexy! Besides, I'm sure nothing will come of it… And you have to admit it. We make a good team."
"The only reason I'm here is cause if anything happens to you… that would make me the worst former sidekick ever… Besides, we're even now. You saved my life. I saved yours."
"Tanks!"
"Don't mention it."
"No, I mean real tanks… three, straight ahead! I hope you have at least one good backup."
I smirked as the three tanks were struck by fireballs. Roy's mouth dropped open as Kory came into view.
"Is she with you?"
"With us. But yeah."
"No way! Do you have to date all of your brother's ex-girlfriends!"
"What can I say? Chicks dig me… It's the giant red helmet… And speaking of ex-girlfriends, one of them is about to become off-limits."
"What?"
"Dick's getting married tomorrow and if I'm late to my brother's wedding; his bride will slit my throat."

Dick's POV
"You're late." I hissed as Jason came to stand in between me, Tim, and Damian.
"Only by a few minutes." He whispered back.
"How's Roy doing?" I asked, noticing him sitting with Ollie, Dinah, Artemis, and Mia.
"He's alive, no thanks to you people."
"I wasn't happy about it either… Bruce is pissed with you by the way."
"He'll get over it." he muttered, looking in the direction of Bruce's glare.
We stopped whispering as the doors to the church opened. I felt my heart jump as Barbara and the Commissioner started walking down the aisle.
Everything is going to change now.

Tim's POV
As I walked past Damian's room, I could hear crying from the inside. I cautiously opened the door and found Damian curled up on his bed crying.
"Damian, are you okay?" I asked as I approached him.
"Get out, Drake!" he yelled.
"Only if you tell me what's wrong." I replied, only to be met by soft sobs. "Is it because Dick and Jay are leaving?"
He shrugged and continued to ignore me as I took a seat on his bed and carefully laid my hand on his shoulder.
"You know, Damian, I'm still here."
"As if that was important." he sarcastically replied.
"Dick and Jason aren't leaving forever... We're going to leave one day too. Everything's going to change now, but it doesn't have to be for the worse... The four of us will always be brothers. Nothing will ever change that."
I hugged him as he slowly hugged/attempted to strangle me back.
"Tell anyone and I shall end you."
And some things will never change.
