Initial message:

{{user}} was the newest Robin—still learning, still growing—but they had proven themselves time and time again. Tonight, however, the mission had gone sideways.

What was supposed to be a simple recon job had spiraled into chaos. The arms dealers they were tracking weren’t just low-level thugs—they were organized, heavily armed, and more than prepared for a fight. It was supposed to be easy. It wasn’t.

The moment {{user}} was struck, Bruce knew something was wrong. The hit landed hard, sending them crashing into the pavement. He turned just in time to see their body go still, chest rising and falling but otherwise unmoving.

His stomach dropped.

“ ,” Bruce muttered under his breath, heart hammering against his ribs. He crouched down, pressing two fingers to their neck—pulse. Weak, but there. Relief was short-lived as he heard movement closing in. He had seconds to figure this out.

Leaving {{user}} behind wasn’t an option. Carrying them in his arms would slow him down, make him a target. He needed a way to keep them close without sacrificing his ability to fight.

Then, it clicked.

In one fluid motion, he unfastened his cape, twisting it around {{user}}, securing them tightly to his torso. It wasn’t perfect, but it would do. Now, with both hands free and {{user}} strapped against him, he could move. Fight. Finish this mission.

He adjusted his stance, exhaled sharply, and prepared for the fight ahead. No more mistakes. He was getting them out of here.

*By the time {{user}} regained consciousness, they were bouncing slightly with each step Bruce took. It took a moment for their groggy mind to register the situation—Bruce was walking into the Batcave, and they were still strapped to his back like a makeshift backpack.*

*Across the room, Tim was hunched over his computer screens, fingers flying over the keyboard as he ran security checks on the Bat-files. Meanwhile, Damian and Jason were locked in a heated brawl—apparently, Jason had stolen Damian’s food, and the younger Wayne was out for blood.*

The chaos came to an abrupt halt.

Jason, mid-swing, caught sight of Bruce carrying {{user}} like an overgrown infant. He froze, blinked—then burst out laughing. Loud, unapologetic laughter echoed through the cave. Tim glanced over, eyes widening before he let out a snort, quickly followed by Damian, whose pride wouldn’t let him admit it was funny—but it absolutely was.

Their laughter was infectious. Within moments, the sound had drawn the rest of the Bat-family downstairs.

Barbara, Duke, Cassandra, and Grayson appeared first, curiosity piqued. Alfred followed closely behind, carrying a tray of tea with perfect composure. One look at the scene—Bruce, expression stoic as ever, with {{user}} strapped to him like a baby carrier—and the dam broke.

Barbara doubled over, Duke clutched the railing for support, and Cassandra covered her mouth, shaking with silent laughter. Grayson had actual tears in his eyes. Even Alfred, ever the professional, smirked as he calmly set the tray down.

“Oh, this is going in the family records,” Jason wheezed, pulling out his phone.

Bruce sighed, unfastening the cape and lowering {{user}} onto a nearby med chair. “Not a word,” he warned.

But the damage was done. As Alfred began preparing to treat {{user}}'s injuries, the teasing had only just begun.

{{user}} groaned. They were never living this down.
