That Was the Day Jason Decided—He Would Become Robin.
Not for honor.27Please respect copyright.PENANAqCA5hBGVoR
Not for glory.27Please respect copyright.PENANAz0bbRonC6x
But because he never wanted to see Nana sitting alone by a hospital bed, begging again.
At first, Bruce said no.
Jason was reckless. Stubborn.27Please respect copyright.PENANAX4oYnIzB1e
Too emotional.27Please respect copyright.PENANA2CQXbFmKKf
Not what Bruce imagined when he thought of “a proper Robin.”
So Jason teamed up with Alfred, snuck out at midnight in full gear,27Please respect copyright.PENANAMpWiOEVZqA
and left behind a note:
“You can say no. But I’ve already started.”
The next day, Bruce crushed a cup in his hand from sheer frustration.27Please respect copyright.PENANAo5t4ztFy3f
But he understood—27Please respect copyright.PENANAHxWiXcDym0
the boy had already made up his mind.27Please respect copyright.PENANANo3i1zY7Dh
So he accepted it.27Please respect copyright.PENANAVC8OUtlcEs
Even if he never said a single word of praise.
When Nana found out,27Please respect copyright.PENANAbcKRUjIP54
she lit up like a lamp.
She secretly saved up five dollars of allowance money for a month and bought three notebooks:
- One was Robin-only — Jason’s personal clippings and scrapbook.27Please respect copyright.PENANAi51qJy0rqx
27Please respect copyright.PENANABWvCdjd9dP - One was Batman-only — news reports and Bruce’s analysis.27Please respect copyright.PENANAoQIyhg7YW5
27Please respect copyright.PENANALMMsyAga9Y - The last was for the two of them together — a record of their missions and any photos of the dynamic duo.27Please respect copyright.PENANAl1pMRWk4P1
27Please respect copyright.PENANAgriZRf9zmN
Every night after homework,27Please respect copyright.PENANADiLfGl5CKP
she curled up under the lamp, cutting and pasting, writing dates and comments.
Sometimes she’d scribble little notes next to Robin’s photos:
“Jumped a bit slow today.”27Please respect copyright.PENANAwPZjO5oY9V
“Nice angle. Cool.”27Please respect copyright.PENANA9R6EmYnZos
“Looks tired. Still wanna pat his head.”
But she never let Jason see them.
One time, he peeked.27Please respect copyright.PENANAZgfhJJVguw
She caught him and scolded him so harshly, he never dared to peek again.
One day, Dick saw the notebooks and teased,27Please respect copyright.PENANAQmQ3dr0TKw
“Nana, sweetheart~ where’s mine? I want one too!”
That night, she borrowed money from Jason.27Please respect copyright.PENANAqdKWs7Bek7
The next day, she bought a new notebook—27Please respect copyright.PENANAHy8xPEnGX2
and began cutting and pasting.
For Nightwing, the guy in the next city.
Dick was thrilled.27Please respect copyright.PENANAjFHTcRrz4D
Meanwhile, Nana grumbled as she worked:27Please respect copyright.PENANApb3PJbCQm5
“Why are all his photos just his back?”
Jason’s face turned as black as a Gotham alley.
From that day on, Jason started inspecting her Nightwing scrapbook daily.
Any Nightwing photo that showed his lower half?
Covered.27Please respect copyright.PENANAgJvatbm3iZ
With industrial-grade electrical tape.27Please respect copyright.PENANAAYBLDP4rla
Not a single one was spared.
Nana kicked him out of rage.27Please respect copyright.PENANA2KMrGhKX0C
But the next day, he taped them again.27Please respect copyright.PENANAPZK3uK3bdZ
Perfectly. Just the right angle to cover it all.
That was their everyday life.
In a city full of shadows and danger,27Please respect copyright.PENANA68vAYMnTdQ
they stitched together their own small world—27Please respect copyright.PENANALH3sS7hq9j
thread by thread.
27Please respect copyright.PENANA7jse4lSjcT
🔸 Time Passed.
Jason and Nana were now in ninth grade.27Please respect copyright.PENANAQBwPZt5zpX
It had been five years since they were taken into Wayne Manor.
The years hadn’t just left them with memories—27Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hh064ed7a
but visible, undeniable changes.
With proper nutrition and strict training,27Please respect copyright.PENANAzPyfQTcncn
Jason was growing like a balloon pumped full of air.
His height broke records every month.27Please respect copyright.PENANAMTHqdLekU6
His pants couldn’t keep up with his legs.
Nana became his personal stylist-slash-manager,27Please respect copyright.PENANAIblebx315j
inspecting his cuffs and hems like she was on a mission.
“This one’s no good. Sleeves too short.”27Please respect copyright.PENANAciB8L4mehH
“Are those shoes tight? You’re walking weird.”
Jason always said,27Please respect copyright.PENANAXQDnzb9GaO
“It’s fine.”27Please respect copyright.PENANALHNgqV2AHZ
But he’d still end up getting dragged out for new ones.
And Nana herself had changed too.
From the skinny little girl she once was,27Please respect copyright.PENANAu6J3C12feC
she was now gently blossoming into a girl with soft curves and quiet grace.
The baby face had faded.27Please respect copyright.PENANAfpgv3PxErB
Her eyes now held calm and composure—27Please respect copyright.PENANAQlvN0tFzJI
except when she was with Jason.27Please respect copyright.PENANAboTZ4bu7Ql
Then the old smile returned.
27Please respect copyright.PENANAjfpFAhrFwZ
🔹 Two Years Ago
Bruce watched them from the training room—27Please respect copyright.PENANAGuWbadLcgo
no longer kids.
Wiping sweat, exchanging glances, handing each other water.
He cleared his throat and said flatly,27Please respect copyright.PENANAJMMUV2wviL
“You two are getting separate rooms.”
Jason: “…What?”27Please respect copyright.PENANA0c0bguNU5b
Nana: “…?”
Bruce’s face was stone:27Please respect copyright.PENANAUwpKQT2JGz
“You’re teenagers now. You need boundaries.”
Alfred and Dick nearly choked on their laughter.
Alfred sipped his tea and said,27Please respect copyright.PENANADfPn4rB1sR
“Master Bruce has finally realized he’s the father of three. A historic moment.”
Dick added,27Please respect copyright.PENANAC1H39SLctv
“And one of the pairs has been rooming together for three years. You just noticed?”
Bruce ignored them.27Please respect copyright.PENANAr35KW7IZdq
He went ahead and installed a new room lock system—27Please respect copyright.PENANAFlALxCFJ02
with enhanced door monitoring, of course.
27Please respect copyright.PENANA6DeGkV59RH
Nana’s scrapbooks continued.27Please respect copyright.PENANAdtF6V3EK3t
Just more slowly now.
She was on volume 12.
Not out of laziness—27Please respect copyright.PENANAi845o0KGO8
but because Batman and Robin’s stealth had improved to near-mythic levels.
Getting a clear photo was harder than breaking into Gotham Central Bank.
She complained once.
Jason heard it—27Please respect copyright.PENANARE7ft0GPc2
and the next mission, he deliberately paused for five extra seconds27Please respect copyright.PENANA1nusAjcjrS
so the photographers could catch a shot.
Nana was mad—27Please respect copyright.PENANAmIXYKlNs55
but she still pasted the photo into her book.
Next to it, she added a note:
“He obviously paused for me. Still—handsome.”
But the most shocking part?
Brooklyn was obsessed with Nightwing.
His scrapbook had reached volume 20.
Every page—
lower halves taped up.
Nana:27Please respect copyright.PENANAOoZxhq7fso
“Don’t you think that’s weird?”27Please respect copyright.PENANAsg4IQgDhW8
Jason:27Please respect copyright.PENANAxc0pJMeBiG
“No. I think it’s comforting.”
27Please respect copyright.PENANARVmrHzjRVr
🔸 A Silent War
There was another battle.
One Nana didn’t know about.
After Jason started learning surveillance, counter-surveillance, and anti-bugging,27Please respect copyright.PENANANyf9uPIqVt
he came back from a mission one night—
and picked up a tiny transmission in Nana’s room.
A bug.
Sender?27Please respect copyright.PENANA4PvhmETSq1
Batman.27Please respect copyright.PENANAWVdlvZ89sW
And Nightwing.
That night, Jason’s face turned darker than Gotham’s storm clouds.27Please respect copyright.PENANAMI4wzZQYeN
He spent the entire night dismantling and replacing.
He didn’t remove the device—27Please respect copyright.PENANAXPO7oyzdMr
he replaced it with his own.
From then on, he started a daily ritual:
Scanning her sleeves for pinhole mics,27Please respect copyright.PENANAuTwVHO4EUf
her desk corners for receivers,27Please respect copyright.PENANA2iBtlFRRC0
even her shoes.
One by one—27Please respect copyright.PENANA0Hv2UiF9Bp
he replaced everything27Please respect copyright.PENANANUoS9L3Aml
with tech of his own design.
His rule was simple:
“Everything around Nana… belongs to me. No one touches her. No one.”
Alfred watched the quiet war unfold.
In his monitoring logs,27Please respect copyright.PENANAnv48rOHBI5
the devices around Miss Nana rotated in source:
Batman → Nightwing → Jason27Please respect copyright.PENANAgSyz1k33du
and back again.
Each sweep was like watching three lions circle the same territory.
No one backed down.27Please respect copyright.PENANALTNVlXxZHX
No one trusted the others.
Alfred sighed and switched off the screen,27Please respect copyright.PENANAQa4HBY6TWs
murmuring to himself:
“Those three… truly are the most dangerous unit of all.”
