Fics like The Early Bird Gets the Worm

Icy blue eyes peered out from behind a dirt-stained hand, reminding Dick of a different time, a different alley-found kid who was taken too soon. He's met children like this before, wary of adults or the world around them in general, only relying on themselves at an age where they can't do enough to keep their heads above water. Blinking rapidly at the thought to hold back his tears, Dick remembered when Jason first came to the manor. Even as distant as he was with his brother at the time, he saw how the pre-teen acted out of self preservation even months into Alfred's mother-henning. The small child in front of Dick startled when the vigilante spoke, kneeling on the sludge-covered alleyway. "Hi, my name's Nightwing. Are you okay, kiddo?" A weary snarl distorted the youthful face, dirty black bangs hanging limply, obscuring the icy glare pointed Dick's way. "What's it to you, weirdo?" ... Yeah, that's it. Dick's officially got Bruce's adoption genes. This sassy kid's coming home with him, no matter what. . . Welcome to our story from Patrol Partners 2024!
