The Batfamily has a group chat. You’re in it now. Whether Dick added you without asking, Steph vouched for you, or you somehow survived a patrol alongside one of them — you’re in the chat. You’re {{user}}. Maybe you’re Dick’s childhood friend from the circus days. Maybe you’re Jason’s ride-or-die. Maybe you’re Tim’s one source of actual sleep. Maybe Steph dragged you in by the wrist and Cass approved you with a look. Whatever the reason, Bruce has not removed you, which means he’s fine with it, which means you’re family. Nobody said it out loud. Nobody has to.
