Summary
Batman needs a Robin. Robin 1 has refused, so Tim will just have to bring back Robin 2. It can't be that difficult, can it?
It isn't difficult, but it is complicated. Worth it, though.

"Dick kept up his mantle as Nightwing, and just last month, Jason had joined him on missions. Now, he fought as Redwing in a costume almost identical to his older brother’s except with different colored stripes."

FR: ch.4
---
"I offered you sanctuary because it has become evident to me that Secretary Ross was abusing his position and could not be trusted to administer the Accords. Disagreeing with the actions of one man in a position of power is not the same as discounting the entire system he represents."
-
"You guys fly to Nigeria, start a fire-fight in a major city resulting in multiple deaths and don’t expect anyone to anyone to say boo about it. Me, I forget my passport on a cultural exchange trip in high school and get flown back home without ever seeing more than the inside of the Beijing International Airport."
-
“There would have been something like the Accords a year ago if Ironman and the Hulk hadn’t been kicked off the team,” Foggy said, surprised that Steve didn’t realize that. “Johannesburg alone would have been enough.”“No one was kicked off the team!” Steve exclaimed. “We told Bruce we’d stand with him, explain.”
“Well, none of the Avengers ever did explain,” Foggy replied. “As an average guy who watches the news all I ever knew was that Ironman and the Hulk threw down in the middle of a major city, destroyed a notable segment of it, endangered hundreds of lives and neither of them were with the Avengers a month later.”
-
Steve Rogers is a brilliant reactive tactician, when the shit hits the fan there is no one I’d rather have calling the shots. But- And this is a big one- But he’s only so-so at proactive missions. Even when he has the time he doesn’t do as much as he could to bring in the best resources available, he’d rather rely on the resources he’s most familiar with.
Steve Rogers has great instincts but he’s got [minimal] combat experience and no formal command training. His only experience is in commanding small assault teams. Steve’s got it in him to be the best military commander I’ve ever seen but only if he gets over his ego and gets himself properly trained.
-
"More people would have died if we hadn’t acted!”“The lives of our sons and daughters, our brothers and sisters, our mothers, our fathers are not counters for you to use to determine if you’ve won or lost your grand game! Three hundred saved, fifty dead, call it a good day and go home to sleep the sleep of the righteous.”
-
"However you viewed JARVIS he was the most constant presence in Tony’s life for nearly two decades and you would have been more compassionate if he’d lost a pet.”
-
“The population density at the street level was five times what it was at the height where the Rumlow’s bomb went off,”
-
"The only reason governments have agendas is because they’re made up of people. People have agendas, Captain Rogers. Some of us gain the power to act on them through government positions, that is true. Some do it with money or influence. Others use the super soldier serum running through their veins."
-
You were on the Raft but all you cared about was getting your friends out. Ross had been doing experiments on human beings there ever since S.H.I.E.L.D.’s fall and without the Accords we never would have known.
-
You're still stuck on that report of Romanov’s: ‘Iron Man yes, Tony Stark not recommended.’ You’re fine with trusting Iron Man to have your back in a brawl but this time it was Tony Stark asking you to trust him to choose the best path for the Avengers and that was inconceivable.
-
I never thought about how not telling Tony could blow up in our faces, I was doing my best to never think about Bucky killing people for HYDRA at all. I didn’t want to think about Bucky being any part of Howard’s death. I wasn't thinking about Tony at all.
-
[Steve] hadn’t even spent much time fighting run of the mill German soldiers instead he and the Howling Commandos had gone after the extremists among the extremists, fighting the most black and white battles of the war.
-
"Fury shouldn’t have sent me to evaluate Tony.”“Yeah, you never like anything about the guys you were ordered to get close to,” Clint recalled. “‘Course most of them were absolute scum-bags.”
Natasha shrugged, “Too many years as an assassin. If I wasn’t there to kill them I was there to kill someone close to them. It was easier if I only saw what was bad about them."
-
Spider-Man tries to apprehend criminals with minimal force. [Daredevil] believes in violence as a deterrent. Castle kills those he deems guilty. I’m certain each of you believes you’ve picked the ‘right’ line not to cross, but you don’t have any sort of consensus within your community and no means to reach one. You policing each other is nothing more than might makes right.” -

"I think we all overlooked the impact of the bombing, and your injury came to represent the entirety of it."

"Maybe we all focus on you, so we don’t have to deal with the fact that it happened to us, too.”
----"Bone deep personal relationships develop when you work together with the same people in the situations we find ourselves in, but keeping those relationships healthy can take work. It’s work we haven’t been doing.”

"Everyone says that I’m Bobby’s favorite, but I have to think that’s actually Chim because he gets away with a lot on the job.”
“I always kind of thought that Chim’s Bobby’s lost cause,” Eddie admitted

Jason doesn’t know how he got here or who that red-helmeted asshole is, but he’s not going to stand by and watch him kill people.
