I feel like Damian, (after dozing off in front of late-night sitcom reruns awaiting Batman’s return from patrol) gets the wrong idea about bringing over plants as housewarming gifts? Instead of realising it’s a one-off, congratulations-on-the-new-place gift, he is under the impression it is an ongoing courtesy, and that whenever you accept someone’s hospitality you need to give them a plant.
This means that whenever he visits any of the Bats for help with a case, he always brings a plant, but neglects to explain why.
This leads to a lot of bewilderment among the extended family, but eventually Tim learns to pot them and builds up a lovely garden area on his balcony, and Jason ends up with a nice collection of houseplants that he doesn’t really know what to do with, and even Cass has a couple of tiny cacti. It’s actually kind of nice.
But still no one has the fortitude to ask what the heck that kid is doing.#and one time jason is at tim’s place when damian shows up#thrusts a plant into tim’s hands without a greeting#and says ‘I NEED TO USE YOUR NEST DRAKE.’#and tim makes a Face at jason and jason mouths ‘wtf. why does he always bring plants???’#and tim immediately is like ‘oh thank GOD i thought it was just me?? i’ve been testing them for poisons all this time.’#‘but then when they’re fine i just pot em and stick em on the balcony.’#and he kind of looks at the plant and is like ‘nice. i needed more begonias.’
