Which was entirely why, instead of protesting, she pulled the names Terrence and Matthew out of the book she was reading before Bruce could be an ass and name one of them Clark. It certainly had absolutely nothing to do with an overflow of maternal feelings brought on by raising six kids, two dogs, and a lot of cats.
----------
Give a child an inch, and they'll take a mile. That was Talia's reasoning when she told Dick he could not keep those kittens, and she stands by her reasoning. Firmly.
“This one is named Schwartz,” Damian tells her, holding up the kitten. “And this one is Striker.”
Talia bends over to smile at the kittens. “And they're very lovely darling, but we can't just keep every stray kitten that we come across.”
Damian frowns. “We have to wait for Auntie Selina to give them to us?”
“No, that's not it. We just can't.”
Her four year old son looks up at her. Talia bends, then breaks.
“Fine. Schwartz and Striker can stay.”
It turns out that Striker is a biter, and that is how he shows his affection. Upon the discovery of this fact, Damian announces that Striker is his favorite kitty. Wally West spends one sleepless sleepover with Striker padding around his head, terrified that he'll wake up without a nose, and in the morning tells Dick that he's not spending the night again until his doorknob is fixed.
----------
Tim, flanked by Cass and Steph, is holding out what has become a very battered copy of Arabian Nights. “Will you read us a bedtime story?”
Talia's answer (yes) is drowned out by shouts of “I am Robin, the Boy Wonder!” and “JASON!”
Which in turn reminds Talia that she hasn't seen Terry, Matt, or Damian in a while, which can only mean bad things. “In a little bit,” she amends. “I have to go make sure there's no catastrophes in the making.”
She finds them in the Batcave, Matt refereeing a fight between Damian and Terry over who gets to join Jason in the batcowl. Talia has a horrible premonition of what will happen once they're actually old enough to wear it, and decides that she doesn't want to think about that again for at least ten years.
----------
“I met a new friend today Mother.”
“That's wonderful Damian. What's their name?”
“Colin Wilkes.”
Talia hummed in acknowledgment.
“Mother, Colin has no parents.”
Talia closed her eyes, hoping for patience. It starts with kittens. It always starts with kittens.

YOU.
I am legit not kidding here, a couple days ago I was thinking, "What if that person was twinenigma?" and then I went back through your Tumblr archive looking for that post about Thomas Grayson just so I could gank the gif from it just in case, because I am Batman. Because anon memes are like superheroes: sometimes people are open with their identity, sometimes not, and sometimes secret identity shenanigans happen.
And, yanno, I almost deleted the geography teacher line, but then I was all, "If they are twinenigma, then they will appreciate it! If they don't appreciate it, then whatever!" Even though I'm usually terrible at figuring out who people are.
But of course. "Hey, maybe he's Batman and he met her while fighting her father and she was forced to choose between them?" "Don't be silly, he probably just met her on his travels."

Terry and Matt automatically make everything schway.
"No no no! Talia just wanted her dad to stop trying to marry her off to some crazy supervillain, so she went after the first half-decent guy she met!"

Pffft, Talia would destroy Discowing. She would burn it and then scatter the ashes so it could never be reconstituted.

But there's more than one version of the disco suit! Imagine Dick going "Okay, so I know you said the feather-like frills were atrocious, but I thought maybe it was just because there wasn't enough of it to make the theme apparent enough!"
And then Talia finally gets fed up and makes a costume for him. And then looks back and is horrified that it's getting more looks than Dick's previous costume now, but different kinds of looks than before obviously ;O
