I always pictured Danny as liking galas. Not cause he enjoys the atmosphere but because he can cause subtle chaos. Then one time it’s not subtle at all.
Jack forces Danny to go events with Vlad. Danny just makes subtle remarks to Vlads peers about his bad practices.
Hinting towards how his wealth was massed odly and suddenly. Pointing out things that just went missing and suddenly one day Vlad just had. Overall each event he goes to Vlad looks worse and worse.
Danny has hinted to him being forced to be at event. That he doesn’t like being called little badger. He’s also getting the inside scope on new tech and ideas by playing dumb. Tucker is taking advantage of the inside info.
So there is a huge gala going to happen in Gotham. The masons and vlad are both going to be in attendance. Obviously this means Danny is getting forced into it same as Sam.
Now sam openly causes problems at the gala. Like standing on a table screaming about animal rights or something. She’s an activist she would so do it. Just imagine Damian joining in. He doesn’t like the galas either after all.
Both sam and danny snuck in reporters. Danny did it to ensure sam would never have to go to another gala. He could use them for his fun as well.
Dick is on a chandelier now to add more chaos. Jason is having the time of his life watching it all unfold.
So Danny just “unknowingly” talking to the reporters about vlad. He also starts talking about the masons. Vlad got distracted talking to another rich person he was planning to rob.
Tim assumes Danny doesn’t know he’s talking bad mouthing ti reporters and goes up to him. Danny is just like dude let me trash talk the fruitloop. When Tim subtle pulls him off to the side.
Danny “accidentally” reveals that vlad is trying to kill his father, marry his mom and adopt him. He is so used to people not believing him why would this rando.
So on top of making a gala a madhouse now the bats are investigating Vlad. Not that Danny realizes until the bats show up in amity.

Somewhere, in the ghost zone.
Red Robin : Wait, do we even know if the air is safe to breathe, here?
Tucker : Oh, don't worry about it, there's no air at all.
Red Robin, very slowly : ...then how an I breathing?
Tucker, hesitantly : Sheer force of will?
Red Robin : ...
Sam : We actually have no idea.

Pillow talk ~ S1
Some things the boys might say before you go to sleep 😴
Jake: “Your lunch is in the fridge- I made your favorite. Night, love.”
Levi: “Early practice tomorrow. I’ll try not to wake you when I slip out. Would rather lie in with you.”
Tim: “Thanks for teaching me how to use the melon baller. Maybe you can show me the apple slicer next.”
Miles: “Try not to steal all the covers tonight. You know how drafty it gets, and my feet get cold.”
Mason: “Played a massive set and my arms are tired. Can I be the little spoon tonight?”
Reece: “Did you hang dry my costume? Spandex can’t go in the dryer.”
Rohan: “Mind if I sleep with my head at the foot? Helps me visualize my handstands.”
Jasper: “You’re lucky you’re beautiful, or I’d kick you out of bed for eating biscuits on my silk sheets.”

JEFF THE KILLER X READER
An angsty fanfic. With headcannons
⚠️ Trigger warning: scars ⚠️
All below cut
+ so, to start off, in my head cannon, Jeff is covered in burn scars and highly insecure about them so if he catches your staring he will get defensive "what are you looking at" or try to mask it by getting cocky "like what you see?".
+ His mouth cuts are healed (to a degree) but is once again, he is insecure about them.
+ Due to his egotistical nature, he refuses to admit his pain and insecurities distancing himself from everyone.
Jeff stood in front of the bathroom mirror, his reflection illuminated by the soft glow of the overhead light. He couldn't tear his gaze away from the scars that marred his skin, a painful reminder of the event that had changed his life forever. The burn scars engulfing his arms and torso, a constant source of insecurity and shame.
Y/N entered the bathroom, their footsteps soft against the tiled floor. They saw Jeff's reflection and immediately sensed his distress. Without a word, they walked up behind him and wrapped their arms around his waist, resting their chin on his shoulder. "Hey," Y/N said softly, their voice filled with warmth and reassurance. "You okay?"
Jeff stiffened at first, instinctively trying to hide his scars from Y/N's view. But Y/N gently pulled his hands away, encouraging him to face his reflection head-on.
Jeff shrugged nonchalantly, unwilling to admit the truth. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just... checking something."
Y/N studied Jeff's expression carefully, knowing that he was putting up a facade to hide his true feelings. They reached out to touch his shoulder, but Jeff recoiled slightly, his defenses still firmly in place.
"You don't have to pretend with me, Jeff," Y/N said, their tone gentle but unwavering. "I know you're hurting, and it's okay to admit that."
Jeff's jaw tightened slightly, his frustration bubbling to the surface. "I said I'm fine, okay? I don't need your pity!"
Y/N was taken aback by the outburst as tears welled up In their eyes. Jeff hesitated, the walls he had built around his heart starting to crack ever so slightly. He glanced up at Y/N, seeing the genuine sadness in their eyes, and felt a surge of emotion wash over him.
"I..." Jeff's voice faltered, his tough exterior crumbling in the face of Y/N's emotion. "I appreciate that, really. But I'm fine, okay? I can handle this on my own." He was greeted with silence
"I'm sorry," Jeff whispered, his voice filled with regret as he reached out to gently wipe away Y/N's tears. "I didn't mean to push you away. I just... I don't know how to deal with all of this."
Y/N leaned into Jeff's touch, their tears mingling with his as they allowed themselves to be vulnerable together. "It's okay," they murmured, their voice trembling with emotion. "We'll figure it out together, okay?"
"Okay"
- what a roller coaster. I live writing angst. Who should I do next?
