Bookmarker's Notes
Rogers thought Ultron was a deterrent? I was born into the nuclear arms race, second generation arms manufacturer, my father helped invent the goddamn bomb that kick started the whole thing into high gear, I know what a deterrent is. For the rest of the class, it’s making a weapon so scary that the other guy is afraid of giving you reason to use it. Ultron was not, was never intended as a deterrent.

Summary
"Mr. Grayson, you are 25 years old attempting to gain guardianship over, arguably, five dependents. A notably reclusive sister, a girl with no official record of living in that home, a high school orphan, a foster child you have never shared a house with prior to these events, and an elementary schooler who still has a living parent.”

“Hey. Focus. The plan. Cass and Steph come here with Babs. Duke and Damian stay at the manor with Dick and Alfred. And I take Tim.”
“This isn’t fair to any of them. This isn’t fair to you two.”
“It’s not fair to you either, Dick.”
“I’m…fine.”
“No you’re not, idiot. Shut up. Round up the gremlins so we can all get pissed at each other.”
