Dick

• A good rule of thumb for Dick is the more dramatic he is the less serious the situation. The less dramatic he is the more serious the situation.
• He will go into work with a cold and complain the entire day.
• If he has something serious that’s contagious he’ll call in sick but just say it’s a slight stomach bug.
• If it’s not contagious he will act like everything is completely fine.
• One time he did this after getting an injury on patrol and ended up passing out and spending that night and the next day in the ICU.
• He has become a bit more responsible over the years, mainly bc he thinks it’s adorable how sweet and cuddly Damian gets.
• His favorite sick day activity is eating junk food and watching rom coms under a fuzzy blanket .

Babs

• Babs tries to relax when sick but she has trouble actually taking a step back to rest.
• Most of the time she’ll take a nightquil then get distracted by something and ends up falling asleep in front of her screen.
• Usually Cass or Steph will come over and take care of her.
• Steph always makes the best comfort food. And usually Cass will tuck Babs into bed.
• Babs loves dozing on the couch to the sound of Cass and Steph laughing in the kitchen as they make her soup.
• If Cass and Steph can’t come over she loves talking to them over discord while eating take out. Usually she and Cass just listen to Steph babble or she watches on of them stream something.
• She also usually ends up falling asleep.

Jason

• Jason will forever and always argue that he can’t get sick since he already died.
• When he was little he was rarely able to get extra rest when he was sick. Because when he was really little he wanted to go to school to avoid Willis. After Catherine died he was too busy just trying to survive to focus on being healthy.
• But when Catherine was alive and Willis was away Jason would stay home from school, and if Catherine was sober she would read to him and sing lullabies. This only happened like twice but Jason cherishes those memories of Catherine.
• As a kid if he was ever sent home for being sick he’d get in huge trouble with Willis.
• After being adopted the first time he was sent home with a fever he begged Alfred not to tell Bruce and hid in his closet until he stopped crying being sad. Alfred sat by the closet door with soup, a grilled cheese, and tea, reading The Princess Bride aloud until Jason came out. It took two hours.
• Jason’s favorite sick day activity is drinking tea and rereading The Princess Bride (with the movie playing quietly in the background) while wearing his Wonder Woman hoodie.

Cass

• Cass forgets that she’s not just a weapon/tool. She forgets that she’s allowed to rest when sick.
• Because of this she will keep going no matter what and tends to view ‘taking a sick day’ as a failure.
• Steph, Tim, and Babs have been working on this with her. She’s improved a lot now that Tim lost his spleen and gets sick easily.
• Now usually Steph cooks for her while Babs lays with her.
• Cass isn’t against taking medicine but she never feels like the situation is severe enough to require medication. So someone in the fam has to convince her to take her meds.
• She becomes extremely cuddly when sick and will cling to anyone near her.
• Her favorite sick day activity is watching old horror movies with Steph or Babs.

Steph

• Stephs mom is a doctor, so she’s used to being told “it’s just a cold, you’re fine”.
• Usually she keeps going until she can’t then sleeps for like three days.
• But it’s less out of stubbornness and more out of habit. So if someone tells her to rest she’s immediately like “okay!” and takes the sick day.
• Babs always calls or comes over to check on her every day that she’s sick.
• Cass has been learning how to cook and loves making Steph food when she’s sick.
• Tim used to come over but now he always calls.
• Stephs favorite sick day activity is sleeping with an ice pack or heating pad, depending on the sickness, with a giant cup of ginger ale and Cass curled up beside her.

Tim

• Growing up Tim loved getting sick because it meant the house keeper would come over and take care of him and he might even get a hug.
• But she stopped coming over when Tim was ten, his parents thought he was old enough to handle being sick on his own.
• Sick days in the manor were a shock to him because he was rarely alone, there was always one family member by his side.
• Now that he’s immunocompromised he’s always surrounded by people, he pretends to get annoyed with it but really he loves how much they care.
• Dick always sings Romani lullabies and runs his fingers through Tim’s hair. Jason, Duke, and Steph will cook for him. Damian stay by his side and bring him tea. Babs will play video games with him. And Cass does a bit of everything, at least everything other than sing to him.
• The family also takes Tim getting sick very seriously so if they here one cough he’s immediately being interrogated and getting his temperature checked.
• Tim’s favorite sick day activity is laying under a weighted blanket with a cup of tea and playing video games with Babs, Steph, Duke, and Cass.

Duke

• Growing up sick days were spent at home either resting alone or with one of his parents.
• He had to do some fending for himself (like cleaning and making food when his parents weren’t home with him) but nothing extreme or unexpected. So, overall he had pretty normal sick days.
• After he parents went missing he was so focused on getting them back and saving them that he never stopped to rest when sick.
• Now as a member of the Wayne family his sick days are always spent with someone by his side, at least they are if he tells the family he’s sick.
• He’s gotten in trouble several times for not telling Alfred/the family that’s he’s sick. Not because he puts Tim at risk, he like all the family is very cautious about that, but because everyone worries about him and wants to help take care of him.
• After several lectures from Alfred he’s finally getting better about telling the family when he’s sick.
• His favorite sick day activity is reading Jason’s copy of The Princess Bride while having a bowl of Alfred’s chicken noodle soup.

Damian

• Damian has the most adorable sneezes. He literally sounds like a kitten and the entire family and hero community finds it adorable. Damian hates it.
• He used to try and pretend he wasn’t sick and just work through it.
• Then he sneezes in front of Harley and Ivy and they cooed over him for an hour.
• Now he grumpily secluded himself in his room when sick.
• Usually the family will check on him and find that Jon flew over and they’re cuddling on his bed watching cartoons.
• When Damian’s sick he really craves spicy food. Like everything he eats he’ll add hot sauce or pepper to. His food is so spicy that only Cass can handle it, like it makes ghost peppers look like child’s play.
• His favorite sick day activity is drinking masala chai under one of Tim’s fuzzy blankets while wearing Dick’s old hoodies and surrounding himself with various soft things he stole from his siblings. This is preferably done while eating spicy tomato or lentil soup and watching cartoons with Jon.
