Crime Alley grew use to Red Hood's charming partner following him along during his patrol and his crime lord business. All smiling and greeting the four legged cat whenever he makes his appearance. 

Dick thrived at the attention, doing a few tricks in his cat form to bring smiles and awe to as many faces as possible whenever he's greeted. Rubbing himself up against the ladies of the night to cheer them up when he knew they were facing difficult times. Letting himself be stroked by Red Hood's goons and letting himself be hugged by any victims saved. 

Dick was growing to be as known as Red Hood as he's rarely far behind him now. 

Jason's only thankful that his roommate stays to his cat form during patrol and he's not left running around Gotham with clothes held in his hands, chasing an naked Dick around to try and get him to put some bloody clothes on. 

Dick would have ran circles around Red Hood while naked in his other form just to embarrass and tease the crime lord. Crackling and whooping as he leap, dance and flip through all of Gotham in his born glory. 

But some nights Dick won't fancy to patrol or was able to join Red Hood due to the dangers coming with him being a mere "cat". So, Red Hood's set up coms in his spare room for Dick to listen in to all the Bat's clan chatter. As well as being able to speak with Jason throughout the night on an private line. 

It's nights like tonight that those coms do some good, or in Dick's eyes they do at least. 

Arkham asylum had an break out, yet again, Dick thinks that they shouldn't even bother with locks in that place anymore since they do no good. But with an break out, it meant that all the bats were out flying and fighting tonight. 

Batman and Black Bat were dealing with Joker together. Purple Bat was dealing with Mr Freeze. Batlad was busy with Riddler while Batboy was facing Poison Ivy. Signal, pulling a double shift from his normally day shift, was dealing with Penguin. Batwomen was chasing after killer croc with Batgirl reporting in where all the other rogues were or that ones already caught had been returned to their cells.  

Red Hood had his hands full with Deadshot and Scarecrow. 

Dick staying silent but listening in keenly to the coms, listening to the updates as they come through the coms and learning over everyone's whereabouts. Being silent and filling with pure concern as he awaited for the break out to finally end. 

Only growing more frighten as he stared out of the window the desk was pushed against, staring out to Gotham being on fire and showing all the signs of crime happening all over the place. Watching the bats defend their beloved city and praying that his maybe something more than a friend but he's too damn stubborn to accept his feelings and admit them friend. Or "roommates" as Jason calls him towards everyone else. 

Dick understood that most people might have something against a human falling in love with an cat. But Dick wasn't an mere cat anymore. It's been years since he was hit with a human spell and he's got out with Jason in his other form, hiding his tail and ears, and experience an normal life. 

Dick was almost as human as anyone else. And if humans could date aliens from anywhere over the universe, than why was Jason so embarrassed over dating an shifter who was happy as e was. Dick's seen one of the Justice League members make out with an alien bird, an actual bird, so he felt like he should be free to date Jason as a mostly looking human without any judgment. 

Being pulled from his complaining thoughts, the com's caught Dick's attention once more. Frowning as a few of the bats had taken a few bad hits and were heading back to the cave for medical treatment from agent A, their rogues captured and handed back to the police. 

He was already rushing around Hood's armoury, shoving a few things into a bag before throwing himself out of the opened window. Jason was in danger, seems Joker had teamed up with a few of the rogues before the break out and an bigger trap had been formed by them all by slowly gathering the bats in the right spots within Gotham.  

Dick wasn't going to let anyone spend the evening with his boyfriend not boyfriend so easily. More so when he was promised cuddles until they both fell asleep in bed. 

It was only a little bit disappointing over how easy a bunch of goons were to trick in his cat form. He just casually trotted up to the closest gathered guarding group, meowed, stubbornly not move when they tried to shoo him away. Let himself be picked up and soon had one of them wrapped under his claws. 

Letting them carry him around for a few minutes before striking at the perfect time when it was just him and the goon. Shifting into his more human form, knocking the guy out and dragging his bag over. Placing some comfortable boxes on before stripping the goon and stealing his outfit to blend in a bit better. 

Walking around and taking down the rest of the goons on the outside. Already listening in to their chatter and knowing that no more would be inside. They were holding the bats inside until the main rogues took over the city why the bats were knocked out and tied up. Knowing that wasting any time to torture and kill them would lose them the chance to take over the city. 

Slipping inside through the door that wasn't boobytrapped like the ceiling windows were and any side doors were. Rolling his eyes as he casually strolled along the warehouse, letting his tail slip out over the purposely kept waistband of his borrowed trousers. 

Slowing to a stop and staying among the shadows of the mostly dark warehouse. Squatting down as he focused on his eyes on the owners of the voices filling the place.  

"Clearly Drake is to blame for our embarrassing situation" Batboy

"Batboy, no names while our masks are on" Batman

"Still his fault, father" Batboy

"I vote for blaming replacement" Red Hood

"How is it my fault?" Batlad

"You're the middle child. Sibling code states you get blamed for everything" Red Hood

"Hood" Batman

"I wouldn't even have been captured if you handled your rogues. I was doing just fine until I had to dodge all of you as much as any attacks from the Riddler" Batlad

"I was dealing with two rogues compared to you're puzzle lover baby" Red Hood

"You're my favourite" Batman

Black Bat merely gave an smug nod, already knowing she was everyone's favourite and rather enjoying her father's dispair while most of her siblings fought with each other. She knew her girlfriend and her other brother wouldn't be able to come to rescue them due to their injuries. As well as her auntie wouldn't be coming due to being knocked out still. 

Dick chuckled from the shadows, deciding to mess with some of the bat family laid as his prey. Letting his laughter echo around the room as he moved quickly between the shadows. Letting his tail brush against a few bat members, freaking them out even more before dashing into the shadows once again. 

Silently laughing as they cried out, frighten and trying to be intimidating as they called out their threats. Dick played without them for another full minute before sneaking over to the Red Hood and working on his restraints, letting his tail brush under the neckline of the red helmet to hint over who he was. 

Shifting into his cat form once he rescued his boyfriend not boyfriend and rubbing against his steel toed boots. Wanting to stick close to him and needing comforting over him being alive and safe again. Purring softly as he felt hard core gloves run along his spine before Red Hood was moving to free the rest of his family. 

Keeping out of sight as much as possible.

He knew Jason wasn't ready for his family to meet him just yet, so of course he'll stay in hiding until he could make an big revel over his presence being there. 

"How did you free yourself, muscle head?" Batboy demanded as he stood up, patting down his uniform. 

"Who cares?! What the heck did they trap us with?!" Batlad anxiously snapped back, pulling out his baton and nervously looking around. 

"Everyone huddle closer, it moves quickly" Batman ordered out, stepping back to have them all form a circle and go back to back. 

"Thank you" Black Bat signed with her hands as she turned to her big brother as he released her from her cuffs. 

"You're very much welcome. At least one bat seems to hold some damn manners" Red Hood replied back happily before turning his helmet head towards the others as he complained over their lack of manners. 

"Not the time, Hood. We need to deal with the current threat before putting a stop to-" Batman started to bark back, waving for the join to hurry over and stand ready for a fight with them before being sharply cut off. 

"EEK! It's grabbed my ankle" Batlad yelped back, jumping into the hair and swinging his baton around blindly. 

"Thank you for your sacrifice, Batlad. As you are devoured by the beast, the rest of us shall make our escape" Batboy simply said as he started walking away, ready to leave his brother to the unknown threat as a sacrifice. 

"Oh well, guess B's gonna be adopted another brat soon enough" Red Hood sighed, shaking his head and accepting that his father was going to adopt another stray orphan soon enough. 

"You'll be missed. Hope I get a sister" Black Bat signed back, feeling bad for her little brother but accepting his fate and praying for a sister this time around. 

"Did anyone see where it went?" Batman questioned after he checked on Batlad and finding no wounds or damage to his suit. 

"Meow" Dick meowed with all his giggly and proud glory, stepping out between Red Hood's legs before sitting by his feet for them all to see him. 

"But that couldn't have been- It's an cat" Batlad started to argue back before deflating as he stared down at Dick. Seeming very unimpressed over it being a mere cat all along. 

"Meow" Dick meowed back insulted. 

"Pretty kitty" Black Bat signed out towards Dick. 

"Meow" Dick meowed rather happily, accepting the compliment. He knew he was a pretty boy, no matter what form he's shift into. 

"Father I demand that you allow the cat to join our road of justice. The cat has proven it's worth by defeating Batlad. I shall call him-" Batboy started to say, a sparkle in his eyes as he started to shuffle towards an unexpecting Dick who just thought the boy wanted to fuss him and not take him home forever. 

"You're not keeping him. He's got a home. With me. And a name" Red Hood huffed back as he scooped Dick up, stopping the youngest bat from getting his grabby hands on his boyfriend not boyfriend. He didn't need to risk Dick giving Alfred an heart attack by wondering around the manor grounds naked. 

"Don't be foolish, Todd. You are barely capable of keeping yourself alive, let alone an animal. I'll be taking him home and giving him a good home" Batboy scoffed back with a frown as he crossed his arms over his chest. 

Red Hood merely glared at his baby brother while he placed Dick on his shoulder, rubbing under the cat's chin affectionately. Dick easily getting comforting on Jason's shoulder and being perfectly balanced, proving they've done this plenty of times before. 

"Is he the rumoured partner of Red Hood?" Black Bat asked as she stepped closer, her hands aimed for Jason to see but her eyes glued to Dick who smugly lifted his head. 

"He is" Red Hood quietly admitted, not knowing his family knew over Dick. Or well, knew over Red Hood rumoured to be patrolling with an partner, even if most just knew Dick as a cat. 

"You don't seem like a pet person. Or an anything person.." Batlad awkwardly commented as he glanced between Dick and Jason, clearly judging the duo. 

"I took him home and he just never.. left" Red Hood explained with a small shrug. 

"Meow" Dick replied unhappy over Jason's answer. 

"Not that I'd want you to leave.. most of the time, at least" Red Hood hurried to say, turning to the cat and trying to show that he didn't feel like that anymore. He was glad that Dick never left. 

"Meow" Dick hissed back as he swat a paw at Jason's helmet, not happy at all. 

"Can we not do this in front of my family, please" Red Hood begged the sulking and angry cat on his shoulder. He didn't want them to argue in front of his family. 

"Is that an healthy pet and owner relationship?" Batlad whispered towards his other siblings and father figure, rather worried over the oldest sibling's current mental health. 

"He's happy. They're happy" Black Bat replied, seeming rather happy for the pair. 

"As long as he's not killing anyone or breaking any laws, It's not my problem" Batman deadpanned, not caring over whatever was going on in his oldest son's life if it kept him happy and peaceful. 

"You, go home. Bat's, we've got some skulls to bash" Red Hood ordered out towards Dick, wanting him kept safe before turning back to his family as he reminded them over the rogues needing to be captured. 

"Meow" Dick spoke up with his complaints on that plan. 

"No. You're going home. It isn't safe for you to join us tonight" Red Hood snapped back in annoyance as Dick wouldn't be well protected if he stayed with him tonight. 

"Meow" Dick argued back without any hesitation. 

"Fine. But you stay out of the way" Red Hood grumbled back as he picked Dick up, carrying him in his arms as he started to walk off. 

"Meow" Dick slyly meowed. 

"Why wasn't that an convincing meow?" Red Hood asked back, growing worried as he knew what Dick was like. 

"I think we need to spend more time with him. That isn't healthy. He needs to be socialize with people more" Batlad whispered towards the rest of the bats around as he watched the live show before them. 

Black Bat and Batboy merely shrugged before hurrying after Red Hood and ready to deal with the left over rogues. Batman close on their heels and Batlad just looked up as if he was trying to get God to agree with him over this whole mess. But he was soon rushing after his family, not wanting to be left behind. 

All the bats were soon grappling or driving away to the rogues location. A plan being created as they moved and shared over their linked coms. Batgirl updating them over the current well beings over the other bats that were still out of the game for the rest of the night now. Checking if any members of the Justice League needed to be called in but Batman growl of "No Meta's in Gotham" was answer enough. 

Red Hood only growing a little bit distracted when Dick leaped out of his arms and rushed off half way. Leaving him to waste a minute trying to spot the cat before having to carry on and just hoping that Dick had headed back to their apartment in the end. 

Not knowing that Dick was currently making a quick stop at Catwomen's apartment. She was a very good friend of his that Jason didn't really know over. Dick had met her in both forms and trusted her to know over his shifting abilities. In truth Catwomen had created a suit for him if he ever wanted to turn to the life of crime and join her in a cat themed get up. 

Dick was going to borrow the outfit she had made for him as he knew he couldn't really fight as a cat and he couldn't just run around naked either. Slipping on the tight leather and Kevlar with greater ease than most would have and slipped on an mask that covered his eyes and parts of his cheeks, growing out like whiskers. Slipping the gun holsters on his thighs, clipping them on tight before slipping his batons onto his back. A dark navy blue cat claws logo filled across his chest with a scratch going from his shoulders to his gloves hands. Blue claws printed on the tips of his fingers. An tail sleeve made into the costume, keeping his tail free but protected. 

Dick hadn't had a name just yet but he's always kept the get up in mind in case the ones he loves ever needed saving. And tonight, he thought the best way to meet his love's family was by fighting among them. He's learnt that the bats mostly spar and fight as a form of communicating after all. 

But in truth Dick rather liked the name.. Blue Canary. 

Keeping to an cat theme with the cat who got the Canary but adding a bit of colour to it. He and Jason could be Blue and Red over the coms. Fire and water. Two colours that most saw as clashing when together but always made the perfect team. 

And Blue Canary made his grand entrance, he's had a very long time to plan one for any scenario. 

He also might have stalked with a bit more sway in his tail and hips than needed when he noticed how gobsmacked his lover was when spotting him. He knew he made Jason go week in the knees when he kicked arse with his flexible body that most would assume was weak. 

Taking down the rogues didn't take too long after the bats gained an extra pair of hands that seemed to throw the rogues off as they didn't have any plans formed to work against the newbie stranger. 

All the bats racing to the rooftops, leaving the cops to come collect the criminal rubbish left tied out for them as if it was bin day. 

"Are those my thigh holsters?" Jason asked in awe, feeling rather dried mouth as he gets a better look at Dick and his current state of dress. 

"You're old ones. Catwomen wanted me have some form of a collar and knew your holsters would work just fine for me" Dick explained with a sweet smile as he spun on the spot, showing off the costume. 

"Keep them. Not complaining one bit" Jason confessed without any shame as he checked out the older man before him and rather liking his new look. 

"Cat and boyfriend.. How the hell did he keep that from the worlds greatest detectives?!" Tim blurted out, losing his mind a little and fearing that maybe all the loss of sleep had finally turned his mad. 

"Tail looks reals" Cass signed as she looked straight at Dick's tail that was currently swaying in content. 

"I think there's something I tell you all but back at the cave. And you've got to promise not to freak out nor judge me" Jason admitted with a grimace as he looked towards his family, knowing it was time he told them over Dick. 

"Us" Dick corrected his partner as he took hold of his hand, giving it a comforting squeeze. 

"I know what I said. I'm more likely to be thrown in jail between us" Jason deadpanned as he turned to look at Dick. 

"I make no promises" Damian huffed back, at least being honest over his view on making such a promise. 

"I should have known my flaw of dating criminals would rub off onto one of my children"  Bruce muttered under his breath, only blaming himself as he got the wrong idea over who Dick was. 

"I'm not a criminal.." Dick confessed with a small worried frown. 

"You're not link to Catwomen?" Bruce asked with clear disbelief. 

"She's a friend" Dick admitted with a sheepish smile as he scratched behind his ear. 

"She is?" Jason asked surprised, first time hearing this. 

"I'm allowed a life outside of our apartment. Why wouldn't I get along with a cat lover in this city" Dick mumbled back as he rolled his eyes. 

"Fair point" Jason replied with a shrug.
