BATFALL, BRUCE W.
A BROW LIFTS as he considers words , 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝙳𝚂 𝚝𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚂𝚃𝙸𝙻𝙻 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚗𝚎𝚠 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚒𝚖. the NIGHT pulls on him , WAITING for him to RETURN. bruce can FEEL that pull it settles within bones as they ACHE to be anywhere but where current affair is being held. ‘ hmm … there’s the board , put in place after i failed to lived up to expectations ’ BROAD shoulders rise and fall with a shrug. 𝚑𝚎’𝚜 𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚝𝚑𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚢 𝚑𝚎 𝚕𝚎𝚏𝚝 WAYNE ENTERPRISES for years , avoided family legacy as he pursued what HE thought was a greater cause. ‘ there’s the PRESS as well … ’ an awkward laugh as he shakes head , ‘ 𝚒 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢’𝚟𝚎 𝚕𝚊𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚍 𝚖𝚎 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚢 𝚋𝚎 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚍𝚎𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚜𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚝𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 ’
the board in question are men who had CLOSE ties to THOMAS WAYNE , a thing that BRUCE WAYNE couldn’t and SHOULD NOT trust. 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎𝚜 𝚖𝚊𝚍𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝙲𝙾𝙼𝙿𝙻𝙸𝙲𝙰𝚃𝙴𝙳 𝚑𝚒𝚖 𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚋𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚕 𝚘𝚏 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚊𝚗𝚢. the only department that he had a DIRECT hand in was the TDP ( technology development program ) the budget SEEMINGLY out of odds with the rest of ASSETS. ‘ who do you work for ? ’ inquisitive nature as he feels himself slide into a side of his PERSONALITY that suits him well.
caroline ponders on the state of gotham as she knows it. hell on earth is always an apt description, but lately she thinks it keeps getting more and more interesting. somehow, underneath all the dirt and grime she had managed to find herself. batman was there too, lingering like an ever present shadow. gotham’s very own hero? no, not hero. that was probably a word she’d use for an article, a pretty word for an otherwise unpretty profession. PROTECTOR is perhaps a more apt description. the point is, gotham manages to keep itself interesting by having people like the batman in it. and bruce wayne, too, is his own type of intriguing.
everything they don’t want him to be. “if it’s any consolation, i like you better this way.” caroline grins as she says it, along with the casual shrug of her shoulders. she blames working for the paper for the sudden itch to dissect the enigma of the man in front of her. she used to be too scared to poke into mysteries, but now...
“i work for mr. monroe, with the gotham times. technically i’m his secretary.” a perfectly uninteresting, innocuous job for a perfectly unassuming woman like her. “but he has me doing a bit of everything. anything he can’t be bothered with will end up in my hands eventually. i hope you don’t do the same to whoever works under you, because let me tell you, it is not fun.”

13thghosts, dennis.
@buhlonde asked: [ WOUND ]
RED ICHOR dripping from a wound on his head , dennis blinked for a moment - the woman’s presence a constant by his side. his mind running a mile a minute , dennis didn’t even register that she was reaching up to graze against the injured flesh until he felt that FAMILIAR jolt.
jumping back , dennis put a little space between them - hands reaching out almost protectively. “ hey- hey i’m okay just- “ the man shivered , light eyes locking onto caroline’s own. “ -no TOUCHING , please. “
something jumps up her throat. it’s unclear at this point if it’s distress or fear or frustration, but either way, caroline has to swallow it down before she can find it in herself to speak. “you are definitely not okay. you’re bleeding! how is that okay?” her voice accidentally gets all shrill, all high and stressed, though she does manage to withdraw her hands. she looks around for a moment, trying to catch something, anything that might be of use, before she huffs and peels off her jacket. she quickly shoves it in his direction with a frown on her face, before she can regret giving it up. “here, use this for the blood. if you bleed out on me i’ll kill you.”

perfaede & beingstories, klaus + elena.
things have felt tense in town, and for once, it was not caused by him. he can’t say that he’s happy about it ( he does prefer to be the only nightmare his victims have when he’s on a mission ), but the death itself? wonderful. klaus had nothing to do with it — if only because he knows that it would be to sacrifice what potential he has with stefan joining him willingly — but he was interested to know who had.
caroline got to him before stefan did. too immersed in his grief, while everyone else who ever had the misfortune of meeting damon salvatore was likely celebrating. he knows of no reason why the young blonde vampire would be reaching out to him, but it doesn’t change the fact he needs an in. even if it’s a trap, their ensemble has lost the eldest vampire, they’re as weak as ever.
grief, after all, will blind even the most devious of minds in unexpected ways.
from the threshold, he takes stock of the situation he’s placed himself in. one very young vampire, one doppelganger. no bennett witch, no ripper, no hunter. one immortal hybrid. the odds are in his favor, even if he can’t get inside the door. that has never stopped him. what is stopping him is the suspicion that derives from his long-time paranoia.
is it paranoia? had he misread something about this group? he did minimal research, but he was certain katherine hadn’t been lying when she described the dynamics of this group. caroline forbes was one of elena’s closer friends, and here she was, offering her up on a silver platter. it proves only one thing; the consequences of whatever brought her to this point? worse than the consequences of what she’s about to do.
the devil offers a grin to his prized possession, acknowledging her comment in good humor, as he repeats caroline’s words to himself. promise me something.
he wonders what empty promises elijah must have filled their heads with.
“ caroline, is it? this is just a formality i feel you should be aware of — if this is some sort of trick, i’ll bleed you dry and compel you to watch when i tear through your loved ones, starting with your mother. ” as if he’s discussing an entirely mundane subject, he rolls his eyes playfully, holding his hands behind his back. “ now that that’s out of the way, please, do elaborate. ”
the fact that he knows her name shouldn’t throw her as much as it does, but it still does. she doesn’t fumble, but she blinks, slow, doesn’t have an immediate response; it is as good as stumbling over her own feet. the threat to her mother is less surprising somehow. she had expected the threats, the bartering, the knives hidden underneath careful words and sentences. caroline, is it? is somehow the thing that gets her.
but oh, she remembers she is not technically alone in this. her hand wanders to elena’s shoulder, and the feel of it under her fingers is a welcome relief, an anchor for her frazzled mind. “jeez,” caroline expels a breath from her lips, marvelling at how her voice is keeping even, “i get why you’d have trust issues and everything but give me a little credit, okay? i’m not stupid enough to try any tricks.” no, those kind of hair-brained schemes were best left for damon. and now that he’s gone, hopefully caroline can end this all here, before stefan can pull himself out of his grief to do something drastic and potentially self sabotaging.
she carefully doesn’t address his threats, even if the thought of putting her mother in harm’s way makes her throat clench uncomfortably. she’d calculated her chances though, before she got here. 81% in her favour, she had decided. she’s worked with far less. “i just need you to become damon salvatore’s killer. which shouldn’t be all that hard considering your track record. you just have to say yeah, i killed him, if anyone asks, and also admit that you sent his head to his brother after you did it... easy, right?”
by all accounts it was a risk free promise. caroline, in comparison, has far less to gain from this transaction. her eyes lower to where elena’s sitting, and she wonders if elena thinks she’s being selfish, if elena hates her with everything she has. caroline doesn’t want to say i did this for you, i did this for us, but she feels the sentiment in her chest anyway. this was a way to fix her problems and elena’s too. it was a chance to give in without really losing, without having to butt heads with someone who was likely way out of their league. caroline was convinced she was saving them all trouble down the line. she was hoping elena could understand that, too.

@perfaede & @beingstories: a clandestine meeting.
she’s surprisingly calm. frighteningly so. something about this feels terribly practised despite it being her first time. maybe it’s the fact that she’s already in too deep. damon is already dead. his head has already been delivered to stefan’s doorstep, wrapped in a tidy, neat little bow. this, now, elena quietly sitting in the chair under her orders, seems a bit tame in comparison.
caroline grips the back of the chair hard enough for the wood to splinter just slightly under her hand. she can hear klaus’ footsteps nearing the open door, slow and measured. she counts down the seconds she still has left to back out— 5... the window is open, she could just hop right out, run, disappear before she ever has to face klaus the hybrid. klaus the horrible. (but oh, no amount of running will change the fact that she had already become caroline the murderer). 4 ... 3 ... 2 ...
he shows up at the entryway, stoping at the threshold. 1. “you’re here.” the words expel from caroline’s lips, almost a whisper. she wishes the relief she hears in her own voice is just her imagination. it’s not, though. caroline is glad he showed up, glad she hadn’t done this for nothing. (GLAD THAT SHE MIGHT GET AWAY WITH THE CRIME). “so. i’m just going to jump right to the important bit. you don’t mind, right? i could do the whole back and forth thing with you but honestly i’d rather just get right down to it. you need elena’s blood, and i have elena right here, compelled and everything. no one knows we’re out here either. i could get her to give up her blood for you and no one really has to get hurt. but only after you promise me something.”

batfall, bruce.
IRONY , as words fall from the blonde, and bruce closes door. he doesn’t ENJOY these sort of OPULENT fundraisers. a chance for the RICH to pat themselves on the back as they turn a BLIND EYE to DOWNTOWN gotham. shoulders carry the weight of the world as 𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚜 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝙱𝙴𝚂𝚃 𝚝𝚘 𝚠𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝚢𝚎𝚝 𝙰𝙽𝙾𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚁 𝚖𝚊𝚜𝚔. 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚜𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚕𝚢 𝚍𝚒𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚝 , 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚙 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚁𝙴𝙱𝙴𝙻 𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚑 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚑𝚎’𝚜 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚌𝚎𝚍 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚟𝚎𝚒𝚕. skin UNCOMFORTABLE against expensive suit , and fingers constantly TUG at SLEEVES as he fights the urge to rip the very fabric off frame. ‘ VULTURES ? ’ a small smile dances upon lips as he CONSIDERS the idea of it resting. ‘ hmm … i think they LIKE to think of themselves as untouchable , DIFFERENT set of rules perhaps ’ voice low as he then goes to go by a WINDOW that overlooks gotham city , ‘ 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚘𝚗’𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚁𝙸𝙲𝙷 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚢 ’ bruce then SQUINTS as he sees a helicopter circling GOTHAM DOCKS, ‘ i can only imagine what you must think of me ’ HUMOR laced as he then goes to look over at the blonde.
‘ why do you come to these things ? ’
it’s uncanny how no amount of time will change the fact that caroline always says the wrong thing. complaining about the rich directly to bruce wayne’s face seems about as wrong a thing as someone could say to a mega billionaire. still, there’s something about him, especially up close that seems a bit... off. she’s met just about every type of rich person there is, she’s shook hands with them, powered through every bit of condescension and superiority in conversation with them, and still something about bruce is hard to pin down. he’s still rich, still BRUCE WAYNE, but she gets the sense there’s a missing piece in that puzzle. “well, you, mr. wayne, i’m still reserving judgement for. see, you look like every other gazillionaire at this party, but you’re playing the part a bit differently. you’re not giving off the ‘i'm better than you’ attitude for one, and i’ve gotten it from everyone i’ve met so far tonight.”
caroline offers a wry grin along with a shrug of her shoulders. “according to my boss, i get the privilege of attending these things with him because he appreciates all the hard work i do around the office. but i’m pretty sure he just likes showing me off as arm candy to whatever ceo he’s trying to schmooze.” not the worst gig in the world, all things considered. and at the very least, the one percent really did know their champagne. “must be nice to be your own boss.”

malgoode, mal.
𝕔aroline’s first mistake is thinking that mal would trust a single person from auradon , let alone one as pretty and prissy looking as her . the second mistake is approaching a dragon burning in her own fire . see , ben and evie are off promenading now and evie is positively glowing under his false affections . and mal thinks she’d like to light that stupid prince up , damn this stupid plan right to hades ! jealousy is uglier on an ugly ugly girl .
❝ what ? ❞ she blinks out of her rage , that green of her eyes dying out , less of a glowing anger to them now . when she looks at caroline , her brow is pinched , shackles raised in defense as if expecting something nasty to befall her . ❝ who cares ? and what , you ak kids don’t believe in love at first sight or whatever ? i thought that was , like , your guys’ thing . true love and all that bullshit . ❞
mal’s words prickle at caroline’s skin, and they only prickle because they’re true. because, yes, auradon believed in true love like it was the be - all and end - all of everything, but oh all it’s ever done was make caroline bitter. she thinks of bill, practically exiled to the outskirts of auradon, shamed into isolating himself all because he turned his back on TRUE LOVE. bill’s wedding vows were a cage, and he had to pay a price for breaking free.
whatever. she’d just let mal assume auradon was perfect, let her think all the bright pinks and yellows weren’t just there to cover up the mess underneath. “and i’m just saying, isn’t it your thing as vks to stab people in the back and leave them for dead?” her smile turns chilly, a skill she’s honed after years and years of backhanded comments about her family, about the lack of a father by her side. “you can’t exactly blame me for being suspicious, can you? you haven’t given me much reason to trust any of you.”

wistlton, vera.
usually , she will keep away from these social gatherings now : especially so late in the season . not much interesting happens now . rather make herself ready to go to the country side for the vinter. head turns to the young woman & dark gaze shift across her , as if to take her in . all her childhood she was the daughter of a witch . the family that held wealth but no title . now she had a title . . . and everything she wanted . ( and no husband that wanted her only to bear children . ) worked out in the end . so there is hint of a smile tugging at the corner of lips , chin lift just a bit . half a nod . ❝ go on then , tell me about your predicament of late . ❞
she holds a breath in-between her teeth, like she’s readying herself for something monumental. “i am to be wed soon...” caroline admits, head hanging, as if it were a shameful secret. it’s not, though. it’s only truth, only what everyone else already knows. “but...” and there she exhales, guilt and obligation and resentment all hitched on her one breath. “this man will not make me happy. i know it in my heart. he cannot love me. and i do not want a marriage without love.”
her shoulders sink, her posture deflating ever so slightly. “i came to you, viscountess, because i thought you might know more than i do, about these things. i thought perhaps you might have an answer for my troubles... i would be grateful if you had even just some wise words to offer.”

caroline + a murder and a quick exchange.
hey friends welcome to a shit post about what could’ve been if caroline was a little more evil <3 idk this is mostly just for the purpose of me putting vague evil thoughts together into one coherent WHAT IF scenario.
this starts with my vampire verse: caroline, turned. damon, still alive. caroline’s memories of the time spent compelled by damon burning and very much fresh in her mind.
things start to go off course by the time klowse shows up (and i mean the second time, for the hybrids), at which point caroline realises she has an opportunity. she’s been seething quietly and secretly for months, but now that evil hybrid man is back she starts PLANNING.
what she wants most is for damon to be gone, and with klowse right there she has an excellent bad guy to pin the death on. so she murders damon. and she makes a mess of it. all those months of quietly, silently stewing in her anger and hatred and she lets it all out. damon doesn’t see it coming because hey, blondie would never, right?
then caroline sends damon’s severed head to stefan, not because she has anything against stefan, but because she (rightly) assumes that everyone will think that’s klowse ‘sending a message’.
thus everyone hates klowse even more and caroline gets away scot-free. but care’s not quite done. she wants to make sure that damon’s death can in no way be tied back to her, and if she wants that she needs klowse to take credit for the kill. in order to convince him to do anything, she needs something to negotiate. good thing she has elena!
she’d never actively put lena in harm, care still loves her, but if it’s elena sacrificing a couple pints of blood a couple times a month, what’s the harm? luckily elena doesn’t consume vervain (no one does, actually. which is stupid to caroline but she won’t point it out since it’s to her benefit in the end), so all caroline needs to do is stick around for a moment when elena has her vervain necklace off (one slumber party, an accidental soda spill on it is all it takes) and then she can compel her to her heart’s desire.
caroline then organises a meet up between klowse. ten pm, in some random stranger’s apartment that she compelled them to invite her into. when klowse walks in, elena is sitting in a chair looking not at all scared, and caroline is standing behind her.
the deal is quite simple. caroline has elena compelled and at her mercy, and she can order her to give up her blood for klowse to do his hybrid business, but in return klowse must agree to take the blame for damon’s death.
now klowse could actually just fuck caroline over and take elena away now that she’s away from the protection of the salva.tore brothers, but caroline’s considered that. she didn’t just compel elena to be obedient and quiet, she also compelled elena to bite her own tongue off if someone tried to take her/kidnap her, whether that was klowse himself, his siblings or one of his henchmen (elena would most certainly bleed out, and even if they tried to turn her, with all the choking she’d be doing on her own blood no one would be able to feed her any vampire blood to revive her). and she knew klowse cared far too much about his hybrids to risk elena dying.
so the deal is made. no hand shakes are exchanged, but klowse leaves with containers of elena’s blood, and caroline’s number in his phone to contact for more blood later.
(when elena wakes up the next morning she’ll feel a bit light headed. she won’t remember much of the slumber party she had with caroline, only that they must’ve gotten very drunk for her to have blacked out that way.)

something sharp lives in her bones. part of her recognises it's always been there, another part of her understands she could've kept it hidden if only they hadn't killed her. if they didn't bring her back to life.
everybody talks about how resurrection comes at a price. no one ever says what it is, but caroline thinks she's beginning to understand. something dark has been housed in her for so long, and the wrongness of her re-life has released it.

caroline tugs at the collar of her shirt, self conscious, a useless action in the end when they both know what’s underneath. “are you saying we should form a pact or something? an i hate damon club?” caroline scoffs. the noise sounds harsh from her throat, which she doesn’t exactly intend, but still means all the same. “hating him hasn’t gotten you anywhere, has it? 'cause hating him definitely hasn’t gotten me anything other than like... heartburn.” heartburn and a bitter, simmering rage.
“would’ve been nice if you were just into blondes.” she grimaces even as the sentence leaves her mouth. there she was again. caroline forbes, saying the wrong thing once more, dull in comparison to elena, fake in comparison to bonnie, always stuck on what ifs.
