At the Manor
[The batkids are having a fight in the living room]
Jason: [accidentally shoots the wall]
Everyone: [freezes]
Jason: [wide-eyed] Ah… oops
Jason: [pulls out a small poster and some tape from his backpack]
Jason: [muttering] I’ll just… put a lil’ painting over that…
Everyone: …
Tim: [gasps suddenly] Oh. My. God. Is THIS why you have so many paintings at your place?! I just thought you were weirdly into art!
Jason: [taping over the bullet-hole with the poster] Well, to be fair you can only buy so many paintings before you actually develop an interest.
Duke: Wait, what about that huge Pollock painting in your living room?
Jason: Rocket-launcher
Dick: In your LIVING ROOM?
Jason: No, I was standing in the kitchen.
Dick: You have an open floor plan.
Jason: I do NOW
Everyone: …

Jason: I thought the place could use a little spruce
Bruce:
Jason:
Bruce: [eyes his kids] anyone want to add to that?
Everyone:
Tim: I think it looks nice
Steph: [nodding] adds a certain… sense of refinement.
Dick: Pathos even
Bruce: [eyes narrowed] uh-huh…
Damian: Frankly, father, the wallpaper has looked drab for ages. Truly, Todd has done you a service.
