Summary
Grace clings to the zenonite ball as tightly as he can, trying to trick his mind into believing that the smooth, warm surface was what it was after. That this hug shared between two species unable to coexist in the same environment is enough to satisfy his human instincts.
His skin prickles. The tears keep falling. It isn’t enough. And it will stay that way for as long as he is away from Earth.
A shudder runs through the man at this bleak thought, the ever-expanding pit in his chest feeling as though it’s swallowing up his entire being.
As if he heard the emotional casam split further, Rocky’s warbles take on a mournful croon. “Grace, tell Rocky what wrong. Please?”
Grace presses his tear-stained cheek against the warm surface, sighing miserably.
“I’m touch starved.”
Or... Grace's years of isolation from humans result in severe touch starvation. Rocky takes one look at this problem and says, "Hold my minerals."

Summary
There’s an abrupt jolt of his cushion, fully disrupting Tim’s attempt to fall back asleep. How dare it.
He voices his displeasure with a groan, eyelashes fluttering open. After a moment of initial blurriness, he can make out a tomato above him.
Huh. Maybe the hallucinations weren’t totally gone yet. Four days of refusing the siren calls of his bed did have its downsides, apparently.
Or... Tim falls asleep on Dick, and as per protocol, if a younger sibling falls asleep on you, then you must adhere to the rules of the 'Cat Problem': You are stuck there until said younger sibling wakes up, and any attempt to move is punishable by death. Jason sees this, and knowing that Dick will die on the hill of this rule, he tests his older brother's resolve.

Summary
"Why does he keep acting like I’m incapable?”
Alfred heaves a tired sigh, silently regretting not getting a handle on Bruce’s emotional constipation before it could take root. It was leaving him with far too many miscommunications to clean up. “Master Bruce is not treating you as though you are incapable, Jason. He is treating you like his son.”
He says it gently, yet Jason still flinches like it had been shouted.
Or... Alfred is a good grandparent and takes care of Jason when he's injured, both internally and externally

Summary
Bruce looks down at Tim carefully. “I didn’t see the flower,” he says. “What did it look like?”
Tim lifts his arms up - and holy jelly-limbs, Batman, was that an odd experience - and holds them a good few feet apart. “Yay big,” he slurs eloquently. “Kinda pink and purple, little bit of blue…” Suddenly, he swings an arm to grab Bruce’s bicep. His eyes are wide behind his mask as a realization hits him. “It was a bisexual flower, B.”
Or... Tim's smaller stature compared to the rest of his family results in him being carried a lot, it also results in them messing with him just for the fun of it

Summary
Instinctual fight or flight having Jason and Tim’s feet backing up, arms beginning to raise to their sides defensively. As if that would save them from the monster they've created. Damian stares, completely baffled, as the two boys edge towards the elevator while Tim rambles endlessly like an auctioneer on crack cocaine.
In hindsight, he should’ve immediately followed their lead with the slow retreat.
Or... Jason, Tim, and Damian test Dick's patience. When the oldest sibling finally cracks, he hunts them down one by one to enact revenge for their troubles
