Summary
"Can't sleep?" Dick inquired once he was sufficiently uncomfortable, somehow using his weight to make the chair rock back and forth without even seeming to move himself.
It was so weird Jason almost forgot to scowl. Almost. Then he had a better idea and switched to a smile, making sure to add in a bright, cheery voice for the reply. "No, I'm sleeping fine. But I keep having this dream some dumbass comes into my room and asks stupid questions."
Dick just snorted. Then cooed. "Aww, glad to hear my little brother actually dreams about spending time with little old me." He finished by tacking on a razor-sharp grin.

Wayne Manor is freaking haunted.
Jason has suspected it since the first time he came to live there, but it is now, two years later, that he gets confirmation. Via the sight of the tiny ghost kid hanging out in the library.
Tim Drake knew sneaking into Wayne Manor was asking to be caught by the Bats. But Robin thinks he's a ghost? And Robin wants to be friends?! This is the best day of his life!

Summary
“It gave us an edge.” Dick shook his head. “I couldn’t risk the city blowing up just to spare your feelings.”
“So you didn’t even ask.” Jason looked disgusted.
“No. In the end, you’ve always done what’s necessary.” Even after everything, Jason was still a bat, and that sentence might as well be their family motto.
Like a good little soldier.
That brought Jason up short. His mind was static, and he gritted out: “Whatever. I want it gone.”
“Oh, believe me, so do I.”
(In order to defeat some aliens, Dick and Jason enter a soulbond. To get rid of it, they embark on a galactic road trip.)
