Pen pals AU I'm loveing this one. Let's give Batman something to think about. This might change his feelings on some things:
The batmobile moved down the empty streets of Gotham. Bruce continued evaluating how far he'd need to go to disorient them enough they didn't notice he was doubling back to go to Wayne Manor. Jason and Alfred had given him the signal they were ready to receive the guests about five minutes ago. Bruce still wanted time to think. All three sat in the back quietly discussing something, unaware Bruce was able to listen to their whispered conversation.
The youngest was complaining about having to be uprooted after she'd just settled(odd comment.) Also that someone named Vlad(an adult, Bruce's hands tightened at that realization) was the worst.
The middle child agreed that Vlad was, indeed, the worst. He didn't know what all the fuss was about. He could take Vlad on his own, let alone with the youngest's help(why was it up to children to deal with this adult?)
Regardless of their estimation of this Vlad as no real threat to them they seemed willing to go along with their older sister's estimation. However as the two younger ones discussed the hypothetical fight(metas with a laundry list of powers,) something was clearly building inside the older.
It finally burst free in a cascade of whispered fear and quiet tears that silenced the two younger. "Vlad didn't just show up and start fighting Mom and Dad. They captured him somehow. They knew he was a halfa. They said he tried to reveal you to get out. They had a muzzle designed to deal with the wail. I freed him as a distraction so we could escape. They.... they were vivisecting him."
(Lmao, the problem isn’t the Phantoms themselves being there, the problem is that during this time period, Bruce is doubting his trust in Jason and Jason feels resentment after Bruce grounded him. Although maybe Jazz being there could help diffuse the situation :3)
When they arrived at Wayne Manor, a boy was already standing in front. Batman dropped them off with a curt, tense nod and then off he went with a spray of gas.
Jazz held her siblings hands with trepidation as she stared at and observed Jason. He had pulled out his phone at some point and was raising an eyebrow at the screen.
He was slightly shorter than her and looked around Danny’s age. When he looked up, he peered at her with stormy blue eyes past his fringe of curly hair before he smiled, stepping up to greet her.
“Hello! Is that you?” With a mischievous grin, he said, “Psychotherapy for hire?”
Jazz melted as she ran up to him without thinking, throwing her hands around him. “Punk and prejudice! Oh, I’m so glad to see you!”
He stumbled but caught her easily, squeezing her back just as tight as she held him. “You’ll be okay, Jazz. I’ll protect you.”
“Ahem.”
The two sprang apart like they were on fire and turned to the butler standing behind Jason, who eyed them with a strange glint in his eyes. Jazz pointedly ignored her siblings’ dagger-like stares as she looked down at her shoes.
“Well… since greetings between you two are out of the way, I shall introduce myself. I am Alfred Pennyworth, butler of Wayne Manor. This is Jason Todd and the owner of this Manor is Bruce Wayne, his adoptive father.”
Danny spoke up. “I’m Danny. This is Dani, with an I but you can call her Elle too. This is Jazz, our big sister.”
Alfred nodded regally. “Understood. Please, step inside. Young master Jason will show you around and I will prepare dinner shortly.”
Dani grinned. “Yay! Thank you so much! And tell Batman and Robin thank you for us too!”
Jazz smiled. “Yes, thank you. And please give our thanks to Robin and Batman as well.”
Alfred blinked and then nodded with a small smile. “Of course.”
Jason beamed. He took Jazz’s hand and also grabbed Danny’s, who blinked at the sight before he pulled them towards the gates.
One of the things about becoming an adult and understanding where your parents were coming from a lot better, is that sometimes you can also follow that line of thinking back to where the miscommunications happened in the first place and do better with the younger people in your own life.
Like, it can be tempting to just leave it there. You understand now why Mom would get so exasperated with asking you to set the table, it's one little chore to help the whole dinner process run smoothly, especially at those hectic final stages of a family meal where everything is getting ready to serve.
Why didn't you understand this before? Well, because you didn't appreciate the work that was going into dinner. But don't stop there! Why didn't you appreciate it? Obviously you're not just the type to never empathize or get where other people are coming from, or else you wouldn't now be going, gee I understand Mom a lot better.
Stick with it and you might find that the problem was actually that Mom would just bark at you all in the chaos to get that table set, interrupting whatever other thing you were doing. She probably did that because she was distracted by all the other stuff she was doing, but from your own perspective you were just going about your own business and got this job thrust upon you with no warning and not even any politeness, making you sullen and resentful because no one likes to be treated that way.
From your adult perspective you might see where Mom was coming from and understand that she was just harried, but if you combine that with the child's perspective of not being communicated with like a person but instead barked at like a dog, you can go, hm, yes I see. I'll ask my kids to set the table before I'm at the chaotic final stages.
Then when your kids don't set the table because they have "plenty of time" and you end up hollering at them anyway, you can go, y'know, I told you to do this half an hour ago, and when they go yes but I got distracted, you can go this has happened the last twenty times what is going on with you, and they can go I don't know, and you can figure out that they have ADHD symptoms and get them a diagnosis and medication and then realize that actually you also have ADHD symptoms and so, in fact, did Mom, and wow that's an entire family curse you've just sort of unravelled! Good job!

Summary:
Shōta spends his day lost in a maddening mix of impatient anticipation and relaxed contentment.
Spends it teetering between feeling well rested with the lingering traces of the bliss he’d found with Izumi softening the edges of everything else around him, and ready to claw himself open out of a need for the day to be over so he can finally return to her.
It’s only been the handful of quiet moments he’s been able to spend curled up in his sleeping bag with the fresh pair of panties he’d stolen in hand that have kept him at least mostly on track all day.
