Daminette December Day 9- Tangled
@maribat-calendar-events
The chill of the night air bit at her as she surveyed the city, looking for any suspicious activity. Gotham’s skyline had started to become familiar to Ladybug after a whole month of staking out the city with the bats, yet it didn’t seem like she made any progress at all with her investigation. It would only become more difficult if she failed to wrap up the problem within another month. From the side she heard a tsk from her annoying companion for the evening.
“Are you positive you received trustworthy intel about the miraculous? Or are you just trying to waste valuable time?” On the one hand, they had been staking out the area for hours and there was a high possibility that they wouldn’t see anything at this point. On the other hand, his condescending sneer irritated her.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize your time was such a precious commodity.” sarcasm dripped from her voice. “If you don’t want to be here with me you can leave. I’m fine on my own, it’s Batman that has an issue with this.”
Robin tsked again, knowing that he wasn’t allowed to leave so long as his father insisted that they help the Parisian superhero. Ladybug sighed on the inside as well. Out of everyone of Batman’s partners, Robin was her least favorite. His rude, holier-than-thou attitude got on her nerves, especially because heroes shouldn’t act that way. Even worse though, was the fact that from day one, he seemed to hate him. 
“Just make sure you don’t get any ideas,” Robin mumbled as he shifted to a more comfortable position. Ladybug rolled her eyes. That was another thing she hated about Robin, his insistence that she avoid trying anything funny and not to fall in love with him. Like that could ever happen.
“I told you before Robin, I’m dating someone and we are in a very happy relationship.” She wished she could be with Damian right now instead of with Robin.
“So you claim, but I have no proof of that.”
“Giving you proof would kind of ruin the whole secret identity thing, so you’re just going to have to trust my word.” 
Robin didn’t have anything to say in response so they both lapsed into silence. A few more minutes had passed when something caught her eye. 
“I’m going to check out the warehouse over there,” she pointed towards Gotham harbor. “I saw  something, and it might be from the miraculous I’m after.”
“Or it could be the rogues at their usual nefarious schemes. It’s better if I go to scout out the area first seeing as how I have more experience with Gotham’s villains.” That was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
“I don’t appreciate you implying that I’m not experienced enough as a hero.” She pulled out her yoyo in preparation. “I’ve had my fair share of practice with villains both inside and outside of Gotham.” She threw her weapon in the direction that she pointed out earlier. “And I can manage just fine on my own, Mr. I’m-better-than-everyone-else. I’ll meet up with you later,” and with that she leapt from the building and sailed across the city. Behind her she could make out a curse from Robin before the faint sound of his grappling gun could be heard as he followed her.
She sped up, trying to lose him, still indignant about what he said. And as she sped up, so did he, until they both aimed for the same outcropping ledge to swing from. Before either of them knew it, they were tangled up and dangling upside down from a building just a block away from the warehouse they needed to investigate.
Marinette couldn’t help the string of French curses that came from her mouth. “Why must you always try to prove yourself better than everyone else? It’s infuriating. I can handle a simple surveillance without drawing any attention to myself, but now look at the mess you’ve gotten us in!”
“The mess I got us in?! You’re the one who rushed off in anger! If you want my respect, then maybe you should get a better handle on your emotions. Rushing in like that is utterly dangerous.”  A headache was building up at the base of Ladybug’s skull and she tried to reign in her emotions. Shouting would solve nothing and only serve to garner more attention on them. And tangled as they were, they were defenseless. 
Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself. “You’re right, I was being hot-headed for a moment.” Her admission surprised Robin, she could tell by the way his brows moved imperceptibly. “But I’m not going to apologize unless you recognize your own fault in this situation.”
Silence greeted her and she just rolled her eyes again when she caught movement from the corner of her eye. She tensed, prepared for a Gotham rogue or her own miraculous villain to show up. Then Red Hood stepped out from the shadows and she relaxed again.
“Thank god. Red Hood, can you help get us down?” The vigilante made his way over to the duo and then stopped. 
“Are you really sure you should be doing that pixie? I thought you had a boyfriend and I’m pretty sure he’d kill Robin if he knew what you were up to.”
Her face turned red, and it wasn’t just from the blood rushing to her face. “Red Hood, I swear to god… just get us down from here already.”
“So you’re dating a criminal,” Robin commented.
“No! He just has a strong personality and an obsession with swords. He’s no more dangerous than my friend in Paris who is the same way.” Robin’s eyes narrowed in suspicion as the puzzle pieces started to click in the back of his mind, but something kept alluding him.
“Hood, if you do not untangle us in the next 5 seconds, I will tell Agent A that it was you who set the kitchen on fire.” 
Red Hood glared at him, getting a knife out. He wasn’t even the one who started the fire, he was not getting blamed for their messes. “I’m going to enjoy getting my revenge on you Demon Spawn.” Then he cut the grappling hook line and began to untangle the duo. It was a few more minutes before they were finally free.

I remember seeing someone say that Bruce wouldn't deny the Batman allegations. Like he will proudly tell everyone he is most definitely the Batman whenever he's asked, and it would actually do wonders with keeping the secret hidden.
Like it would be more suspicious than anything if billionaire playboy Brucie Wayne so adamantly denied any connection to the vigilante.
And yeah, so i was thinking what would his kids think about it? like they get asked during interviews and whatnot what they think about their dad being Batman.
I feel like Dick would just play along and say some shit like "if B is Batman, then I'm Nightwing" and get a look from the man
And Jason would take any opportunity to shit on B and say something along the lines of "B's Batman? I call bullshit. He's not even a man"
Tim would either:
a. pull up a 99 slided presentation about how Bruce Wayne is, in fact, NOT Batman and be internally laughing the whole time cause he is funny, and people just dont know what they're talking about.
Or b. (only when he's been up for a few days) confirm it and go "Well yes, of course he is. It'd be weird if he wasn't since the cave's under the house."
Cassandra would just smile and stare into the person's soul until they move on onto the next question.
Steph would deny it and claim that she's Batman and that Bruce is her Robin. She'd probably also manage to convince a few people to join her.
Duke would be like "He's Batman? Ohhh that explains the explosives I found in the cellar!" or something else, just as worrying.
Damian would just nod and go into a full length speech about how Batman is the best superhero (after Nightwing of course) and completely disregard the question. And before anyone can re-ask, he'd just walk off.

Fictober23 Prompt: 3 - "Okay, show me."
Fandom: DPxDC
Rating: G
Warnings: -
"So… first time getting kidnapped?"
Tim blinked at the teen that was tied to a wall right across from him. He marveled for a a moment at how similar the two looked and even thought that he could see how the other teen could have gotten mistakenly kidnapped in his place. Though if they had already kidnapped him then why did they end up kidnapping him again?
"No, getting kidnapped kinda comes with the name and status." Tim finally answered and the other kid nodded sagely as if he understood. "Usually they are a little more incompetent."
He moved his wrists a little causing the strange silver bracelets they had slapped on his wired before chaining him to the wall so that they would cause a rattling noise, making the other teen look at them with a raised eyebrow.
"So first time getting kidnapped by the GIW then."
"GIW?"
"Guys in White, or well Ghost Investigation Ward, a government organization." The other teen explained with a shrug. "Usually they are incompetent. Aside from a couple of burns from getting shot, this is the first time they actually managed to chain me in a while. Normally they would have messed up by now but it's interesting that they even manage to nap you too."
Now Tim raised an eyebrow. That was news to him. To think there was a governmental organization that was actively abducting civilians for who knows what. Damn, he could see how B would not be happy once he told them about that.
"Sorry btw." Tim blinked up at the other teen in confusion, who chuckled in return. "They probably kidnapped you thinking you were my double or something. We look similar enough for them to think that."
"Wait…" Tim's eyes widened in realization. "They kidnapped me because I look like you? Not the other way around?"
"Uh yeah, why would I be kidnapped because of you?"
"Tim Drake-Wayne. Does that ring a bell?" Tim huffed only to watch how the other teen furrowed his eyebrows as if deep in thoughts before shrugging.
"In fact no it doesn't. But I don't keep up with high society, it helps pissing of the fruitloop whenever he drags me to 'meet important people' and I actively call them false names no matter how often he introduces them."
Tim's eye twitched. While that is fun, this was also the first time he met someone who hadn't heard of his name before in some way or form. In the end just let out a sigh.
"So what now? We wait to get rescued or will they release us after some time?" Well he had already tipped off his family, so it was probably only a matter of time until one of his siblings burst in to play knight in shining armor. He just hoped it wasn't Jason again, or he wouldn't shut up about having saved him for another month.
"Oh we can wait, but they won't release us. It's probably better if we get out on our own."
"Really? And how do you plan for us to get out of the handcuffs?" Well Tim did have a lock pin hidden in his jacket and some small sized tools stuffed into the sole of his shoes but with his hands chained above his head it was a little difficult to get them. But his feet were not chained so with just a bit of body twisting he could-
"Oh the handcuffs are no problem. They can be easily removed by overloading them."
"Overloading?" Tim arched an eyebrow, now the cuffs did not look like your normal brand he can admit that but how was the other going to do that unless he had some secret electric tool stored on him.
"Yea, overloading. It's pretty simple. These look like the same Brant they tried to cuff me with a year ago. It's funny how they look like they haven't learned a single thing in all these years."
"Really now?" Tim stared at the other teen unimpressed. "Okay, show me. How are you going to overload them with no tools around?"
"Easy." The other teen smirked at him and Tim's eyes widen as he saw the others hands emitting a green light before the cuffs on his wrist sparked and then fell off. Okay, noted the other teen was a Meta.
"My name is Danny by the way." Danny grinned as he rubbed his wrists before getting up and walking over to Tim to do the same to his cuffs. Tim rubbed his his own wirsts, carefully examining them for any time of injury only to look up just in time to watch Danny reach into his own chest. With wide eyes he watched Danny sticking out his tongue while one of his hands was going through his body as if he was looking for something.
"Aha! I knew I stuck them in my body somewhere for a situation like this!" Okay there was so much to unpack from this sentence alone but before Tim could even ask a single question Danny pulled out a lockpick set from his chest and proceeded to pick at their cell door.
"I have so many questions." Tim muttered, still watching the other teen.
"Well I can probably answer some of them once we are out of here. It's the least I can do after you get kidnapped because of me." Danny grinned as the lock he was working on clicked and he swung the door open. "Wanna talk over some coffee? You look like you need some."
"This is definitely not what I expected when I said 'show me'." Tim muttered once more walking passed Danny out of their cell, eager to leave this place.
"Yea well that the more civilian friendly things I can do." Danny followed with a grin. "Though I do have some other tricks I could have used too."
"You talk like a hero." Tim thought aloud, eyeing the teen and how they were holding themselves. Nothing about this teen screamed innocent civilian anymore, well aside from the obvious Meta abilities. He also marbled about the fact that they basically just walked out of the warehouse they had been holding. Huh looked like these GIW guys were really as incompetent as Danny had mentioned earlier.
"Yea, well I am a retired Hero." Great now Tim got more to look into in regards to Danny. Oh that reminded him, he probably should tell his family that he was no longer kidnapped… but that could probably wait until after he got his coffee with Danny. What was the worst that could happen? Red Hood storming an empty building. Oh well, it would be a good exercise for his brother then.

So with Fae!Dick, we all know that Bruce is just… not gonna say anything bc of his own mental health, but do you think the other batkids notice anything once they come along?
On one hand, I think someone would have to notice. If not Jason, then Tim, Steph, Barbara, or Damian bc, well, they’re BATS. They literally have been trained to notice things.
On the other hand, though, I think it would be HILARIOUS if they just attributed Dick’s Fae nature to him just being weird. Like, completely unaware he isn’t human. Maybe not entirely realistic but I think it leaves for some interesting comedic moments 😅
Honestly at one point I think it all devolves into plausible deniability. 😭😂
Jason is the first to notice something amiss, obviously. But he joins Bruce in pretending it‘s just Dick‘s general weirdness. After all, as long as the dog just howls once in a while it’s not necessarily a wolf, right? And Dick, after the initial hang up and trying to kill him a little, is sweet as a summer‘s day to him and viciously protective to boot. Galas and all the rich people there that used to treat Jason like a circus animal aren’t a problem anymore because Dick always swoops in like a bat out of hell and distracts the creepy old ladies with a charming smile until they walk away with vacant eyes. It‘s all pretty funny. And very weird. But hey, Jason gets a laugh out of it and that secretive little grin from Dick so whatever.
Tim I headcanon has Dick all figured out within a month of officially meeting him (the opposite of this would be Tim never figuring it out which is also kinda funny and just attributing it to his circus past or something) and is veeery cautious about interacting with Dick for a time. It makes Dick kind of sad and Tim can only withstand the puppy eyes so long until he caves.
Steph just kinda shrugs and accepts Dick‘s strangeness at face value. It ain’t hurting her so why should she bother? Dick is cool. She likes Dick. End of story, thank you and good day. And yeah, fine, some of his habits are downright weird and everything but who is she to judge? And he‘s always down to cause mischief with her which is?? Super cool???? Even the more devious pranks she can bribe him into joining by handing him a jar of fresh honey or hand picked fruit!! Anybody trying to say shit about Dick lands them on her hit list, period.
Cass is Cass. Nobody can fool her. She may not know what Dick is, but she‘s painfully aware he‘s other. Most wildlife treats him like bees would their queen, there‘s always the scent of pines and rain following him. Dick‘s body language says ‘playful-content-happy’ but his eyes say ‘dark-dangerous-predator’. It’s all very conflicting; a study of contradictions. Cass learns to go by what his body language says and quickly finds a kindred spirit in Dick, who somehow always seems to know exactly what she tries to express but has trouble translating into words.
I headcanon Damian grew up with folklore so while his first theory may not be “fae” he definitely has Dick down as something other than human. Which means he must be powerful. Which means Damian must keep himself in Dick’s good graces in the hopes of making the creature teach him how to be powerful in turn. And, well, the kid grew up with a grandad that regularly takes dips in a magical swimming pool. I don’t think there’s much that can genuinely shock him lol.
Duke is… well, he’s the sensible one so of course he’s the first one to actually ask questions. And then proceeds to go nearly insane because??? Nobody seems to?? Care???? That Dick just rotated his head a full 360°???? Or that the manor sure af isn’t supposed to??? Randomly add hallways???? Or that there’s a whole ass SWAMP that appeared in the basement overnight???? Or a door that leads straight into the forest?????? Duke very nearly nopes the hell out because that’s too much even for him. But finally, finally someone takes pity on him (I headcanon it’s Cass) and she doesn’t explain anything per se, she just kind of… shows Duke. Shows him around the manor, introduces him to twisting halls and strange rooms, takes him to where Dick is lounging with the rest of the family, purring like a content cat. And Duke still doesn’t understand, not completely, but Dick smiles at him with too many, too sharp teeth and tugs him into the huge cuddle pile and?? Are those feathers on his neck?? No, he must have imagined it. Anyway, Duke thinks he can handle this… strangeness, if it scores him a family like this. It’s Gotham, right? Weirder things happen here on the daily.
Omg this turned into a whole ass essay I’m so sorry 😰😅😭✨

Ranking: Jason Todd x fem!reader
Tumblr media
graphic by @huedmmi (amazing job with that, thank you!!)
Summary: heroes couples ranking? Might seem like a good idea, but not every pair can make the top......
This is placed in the Ego!verse, cause been a while since I wrote for that. You can find other stories of this verse in my masterlist.
***
„What are you doing?”
„Reading.”
“What are you reading?”
“NOTHING!”
Jason sneaked behind her back, trying to sneak a peek of the article on the Internet Y/N was reading. However, all the time she spend being in the relationship with him and her vigilante instincts combined made her act quick enough to shut the laptop before he could see as much as one letter.
Jason smirked
“Oh, you’re hiding something.”
“What?” she scoffed “I’m not hiding anything.”
“You can’t lie to me, you know it.” He teased leaning forward, their faces inches away from one another
“Are you trying to intimidate me?” she moved even closer “Sorry not sorry, but it’s not working.”
“Well then maybe I just have to keep convincing you…..?”
“I’m the one playing with minds, not you, remember?”
“Come on princess….. just tell me what you’re hiding…..”
“Nope.”
“Y/N.”
“Yes?”
“Don’t be a tease.”
“Have you met me?” she smirked “Tease is practically my middle name.”
“Please?”
“No.” she cut him off “now stop whining, get up and let’s go.”
“Where exactly?”
“Batcave, duh! Did you think I was asking you for a date, or something?” she raised an eyebrow, looking at him teasingly.
“Wouldn’t dream of it……”
He didn’t like the idea of going to the manor for the debriefing, but….. there might be someone who could help him digging some information out.
***
“Drake. I need to talk to you.”
“Mhm….” Tim muttered not really paying attention, his head elsewhere “How about we reschedule that for next month? I’m busy…..” he tried to take a sip of coffee, but before the god’s drink found a way to his mouth, Jason snatched it out of his hands.
“Drake!”
“Give me back my coffee, Todd……”
“Not before you help me.”
“And why should I do that?”
Jason sighed in frustration. On one hand he could just tell Tim was this was about. On the other that would mean showing his vulnerable side and that was a no go. So he just settled on standing in Tim’s room, holding his mug of out his reach, considering pros and cons of each option.
“It’s about Y/N.” Jason finally said, relenting “I’m worried about her.”
“About Y/N? Why? She’s a tough one. I mean, she;s in a relationship with you, I don’t think much can break her.”
“I’m serious, Tim. You may not notice this, but lately she’s been acting… closed off. She’s…. sad.”
“Sad? Cracking jokes left and right? Two days ago she almost made Dick fall off the rooftop telling one of her funny stories.”
“Please tell me it was not a story about me…..?”
“Nope. Those are not funny anymore and she found a lot funnier subjects. Nevermind… Tim shook his head. The point is, she’s acting normal. Why would you be concerned? Wait. Why would you be concerned?
“Cause she’s my girlfriend!”
“Oh…. You do care….” Tim smiles
“Shut up!”
“You want my help or not?”
“If you helping me require me admitting I care about her…….” Jason sighed “Fine, I do. I do care about her. Please, help me?”
“Of course, I’ll help you Jason.” Tim grinned knowing well enough he just got Jason right where he wanted him “and just so you know, it’s not a secret you love her.”
“Shut up…..”
“Fine! Fine!” Tim laughed at Jason’s flustered face “What’s the deal?”
“Y/N…..” Jason said her name with the mix of affection and worry “she’s been spending a lot of time in front of her computer, lately. She claims she’s reading. And I believe her. But whatever article it is, she’s been spending her time on, makes her distracted. It’s almost like she’s been avoiding me for some reason I cannot fucking understand. She’s lost in her head!”
“The girl is a mind reader, Jason. She can hear people’s thoughts. Is this really so surprising that she’s had enough?”
“Yeah, she had those…. Phases. But it’s not like that. She;s only like that because of what she found on the net.”
“Ok… Let’s assume I believe you. But what do I have to do with it?”
Jason muttered something incoherently.
“Sorry, what was that?” Tim chuckled
“I want you to break into her computer……”
“You what now?!”
“I need you to…..”
“Oh no, I heard you. You want me to hack your girlfriend’s computer. It’s just I can’t comprehend what got into your head.”
“I’m kind of desperate…..And you’re the expert on tech…..”
“I’m not buying into this…….” Tim laughs
“Come on, Drake!”
“Not a chance, Jason. Again. Y/N is a mind reader. She’ll find out what we did in a heartbeat. And I don’t want to have my brain grilled. I saw her in action, I know what it means to make her angry. “
“Don’t tell me you’re scared of Y/N…..” Jason mocks
“You are terrified of making her angry yourself…..”
“Ok, fine! She can be scary…… Fuck! You’re no use, Drake!” Jason jumped to his feet, rushing out of Tim’s room, fists clenched, muttering something under his nose.
“It was nice to see you too, Todd!” Tim laughed. He always found it funny how Jason acted under the influence of emotions.
***
“Grayson!”
“Jaybird!” Dick grinned at Jason, the second the latter came through the door to the kitchen “came for some brothers’ bonding?”
“more like binding” Jason rolled his eyes “unless you’ll help me.”
“You must be truly desperate to come to me for help…..”
“Oh, God… have you been watching Thor again?”
“I had a whole marathon. But sure, I’ll give you a hand with whatever you need. What is this about?”
“Y/N.”
“Y/N? What about her?”
“Oh, fuck, not you too. Am I really the only person who noticed she’s been acting off lately? Are you fucking serious?!”
“Um…..relax Jace?”
“How the fuck am I supposed to relax seeing my girlfriend hurting?!”
“And it’s my fault?!” Dick exclaimed with shock in his voice.
“NO! Yes! Wait, is it?” Jason took a step towards Dick “what did you do to her Dickhead!?”
“Nothing! I swear!”
“You’re lying!”
“I’m not lying!”
“Then why won’t she talk to me?!”
“I don’t know! Come on Jace! Don’t get crazy again.”
“Talk to her.” Jason said, calming down. As much as it hurt him to admit it, he was acting erratic and he didn’t want to be aggressive. Not again. Those days were behind him. “Please, just talk to her.”
“Why me?”
“Cause you’re the only person I can trust to do this without making her suspicious. And because she won’t talk to me.”
“Jason…. She’s a mind reader….”
“You’re not the first person to tell me that today. Thank you.” Jason mocks “I kind of remember!”
“Wait…..” dick eyes grow wide…. “I might……”
“You might what, Grayson?!”
“I might know what this is about…..” Dick muttered slowly, but seeing Jason furious expression, with his eyes burning he picked up the talking pace at once “ok, so there’s this little site with superheroes couples ranking…..”
“WHAT!?”
“I mean, not that I read it…..”
“Sure you’re not Dickhead…..”
“But Barbara…. She’s actually a fan. And so it Lois …..”
“Lois? As in Lois Lane?”
“Yeah….. it’s actually pretty popular amongst the girls… I mean, it’s not any ambitious writing on anything like that but when you need something to relax and unwind after a hard day…..Steph and Cass read it too and we spend last evening going thought it and gossiping and……” Dick started rambling “sorry. Not the point.”
“Make the point then….” Jason had to fight the urge to punch his adoptive brother in the face.
“Um…. Me and Babs….. I mean, Nightwing and Batgirl  might have scored first last week……  And I might have slipped a word about it to Y/N…..”
“You scored first?”
“Yeah…..” Dick smiled wildly “I mean we are a really, really good couple but I never thought we could beat Clark and Lois to the first position. Sure, I also might have did some things to catch press attention, but still I ……”
“Grayson, I am warning you…..”Jason hissed
“Sorry. Long story short…. The news got to Y/N. and you know her. She’s the investigator. She started digging and found the site and now she’s been kind of addicted to it, checking it out every week hoping Red Hood and Ego will make it to the list, but…..”
“But what?” Jason asked but he already sensed the answer.
“You did not…..”
“So what you are telling me, is that you scored first, and I didn’t even make the first …. Ten?”
“Fifty……”
“I didn’t make the top 50?!!”
“I’m not the one making those rankings! Stop yelling at me!”
“That’s why she’s been so sad? Was she disappointed? let down?” Jason asked. What he did not form out loud was the question whether she felt unloved? Because of some crazy internet ranking. “I gotta go talk to her…..”
“Yeah…. You should….That might clear the air. You know, honesty is really important. And honest is, I scored FIRST!”
“We’ll talk about that later, Dickhead. I got more important things to do now.”
***
“Y/N.”
“Oh, hey, Jace. What’s up?”
“I know what you’ve been reading.”
“You know what?”
“Stop it”
“Ok, fine.” She sighed “I’m going to kill Grayson for spilling the bean. “
“Sorry princess, but he’s mine. But now… about this … stupid ranking thing… is that really making you this sad? Are you…. Unsatisfied with our relationship?” he asked, all his insecurity and vulnerability coming out in waves. He doubted him his entire life. He always thought that Y/N was too good for him and one day she would just …. leave. And now, it was practically coming true……”
“what?” judging by the tone she became terrified of what he was asking her. “Jace….baby….” she dived into his arms, hugging him tight. What got into your stupid pretty head, you dummy? I love you… I love being with you. If I got discouraged by something someone writes on the Internet that would be …. Childish… immature… stupid.”
“But…..”
“No buts, Jace…..” she pulled back, grabbing his face with both her hands, looking deep into her eyes “I love you, you idiot.”
“I love you too, sweetpea…..”
“Now that is a new nickname……”
“Do you like it?” he smirks “tell me what does it do to you.”
“You’ll have to call me that a few more times just so I can figure out exactly what it does to me.” She smiles pulling him down to kiss.
***
“JASON!!”  
Next morning Y/N standardly checked out the weekly ranking. Just for fun… After that little making up and clearing the air she had with Jason all night, she couldn’t care less about what vigilante couples made the top 10 and who did not. She was happy with her boyfriend. And that was what counted.
But.
There was something so surprising that he just screamed Jason’s name the moment she opened the page.
“Y/N!!??” Jason rushed into her room, shirtless, his face confused. “Are you in danger?! What happened?!”
“THANK YOU!!” she yelled again jumping into his arms. Obviously he immediately pulled her into his chest, enjoying her warmth and hugs and kissed she started planting all over his face , but was still unsure of what was happening.
“Y/N? Not that I’m complaining, but what is this about?”
“We made the first place!! I mean, Ego and Red Hood did! Look, look….” She grabs his hand and lead him to the computer, pointing at the page, almost jumping in excitement. “do you see that?!”
“Yeah, princess I see it….” he smiles, full of smugness.
“Thank you!”
“I didn’t do a single thing…..”
“So, Red hood spotted making some sort of floral carpet for Ego was purely accidental?” she smirked, but her eyes were glistening with pure love and admiration. “You didn’t have to, you know?” she stood up, locking arms on his neck, his founding a way to her waist and pulling her close. “I told you I didn’t give a damn about those rankings and you must have been working at it for hours….”
“It was worth it, baby. Seeing that smile and those pretty eyes shining….. And maybe I deserved a little kiss?”
“Oh, you deserved so…. much…. more….” She brushed her lips over his, making that little kiss a promise of something more to come. “And…” Y/N pulled back “as a bonus, you probably pissed off Dick.”
“Oh, yeah… That was definitely my biggest motivation….” His grip on her waist tightened suggestively.
“Really?” she mutters leaning forward “maybe I can convince you otherwise? Show you what should have been your biggest motivation from the beginning?”
“You know I can’t say no to you, baby……”

Masterlist Navigation
Bruce Wayne
• Bruce isn't going to handle his first experience of genuine affection from you very well. He's going to be a bit distant at first until he's comfortable around your affection and he's sure that you're not trying to manipulate him in any way or get something from him (even if he knows that this isn't the case, he still has a hard time with getting close to people and receiving affection).
• Due to the loss of his parents he does hate to genuinely get close to a person in an emotional way, especially if they're a normal person. Until he is finally close to you, and even during your relationship together, he'll be more paranoid and worried about someone finding out his identity and using you as a way to hurt him in any way.
• If you try to get him to open up he will be quite hostile and he genuinely doesn't mean to be. He's becomes very defensive due to the walls he's built up for so long and he isn't quite sure how to allow them to come down and let you in at first without feeling incredibly vulnerable.
• It may be easier for him to get to know you if you're also a hero or vigilante and he gets to know you while keeping his identity a secret. He doesn't have to worry about disappointing you with his true self, and he'll be reassured that you're able to look after yourself if you're ever confronted by anyone intending to cause you harm.
• Opening up to you would be a gradual process, but if you take some time it will be possible to have him be vulnerable and honest with you eventually. You may even help him work through the many emotional problems he has which could lead to him settling down and living a peaceful life without his Batman persona one day in the future.
Dick Grayson
• Dick's loss of his parents cause him to behave almost the opposite of Bruce, and he has become almost addicted to physical touch and emotional comfort. He starts to crave you as soon as you've shown him some affection and he will absolutely become addicted to you being around him.
• He allows himself to open up to you almost immediately if he thinks that you truly care about him and he trust's you. He has a lot of pent up feelings and thoughts that he hasn't able to get out, so you being there for him definitely takes a huge burden off of his shoulders.
• Dick starts to indulge in many of the things he didn't get in the past due to having so many unstable relationships, so this does lead him to rely on you emotionally quite a bit. He always seems to be funny and outgoing on the outside, so once you see this side of him it may come as quite a surprise.
• In public, Dick loves it when you give him affection, but of course he isn't going to go over the top with it. When you give him small touches and affection when outside or around others it gives him comfort and makes him feel much more secure in the situation he's confronted with, even if it's only a social gathering.
• Genuinely opening up to you would be a slow process, and you may need to seek advice from his family at first to try and find a way to make him feel safer while telling you things he doesn't like to talk about. But this will come naturally to him after a while, he just needs to get to a stage where he feels like he's ready to actually say certain things out loud.
Jason Todd
• Jason would probably be quite hesitant to receiving affection, especially if this is shortly after he 're-joined' the family, or hasn't been able to work out the trauma he's been through yet. He get's paranoid about what could possibly happen if you get too close to him, so it's not that he doesn't want your affection - he's just simply scared of the consequences.
• Despite craving someone to be close to, he doesn't have a lot of experience with actual relationships so he may be a bit awkward about how close your relationship is getting. He tries his best as much as he can, but he simply can't figure everything out by himself and he may also seem a bit clueless at times when you first approach him.
• When others aren't around Jason will become very cuddly and attention seeking towards you due to finally getting used to your new found attention for him. He didn't realise how much he was really missing out on, and now when the two of you are alone he can't get enough of it.
• In public, Jason isn't much of a big fan of affection being shown towards him. He's used to keeping up his serious image depending on who is around and he isn't the type of person to want many others seeing him in a vulnerable state no matter how small your affectionate display is.
• When Jason finally opens up to you about being emotionally and physically starved of affection and touch, he will get quite emotional. He's been keeping so many emotions and thoughts buried deep inside himself for so long that when he finally lets it all out it's like huge floodgates have been opened. You can try your best to settle him down, but this is just something he really needs to get out more than anything else.
Tim Drake
• Tim would be more inclined to return your affection even if he has been touch starved for a while since he knows how to express himself in this way a bit better than the rest of the family. He's always much calmer when opening up to you and gets to the point quickly so you wouldn't have to spend time guessing whether he's comfortable or not with your affection towards him.
• He would be quite bashful about your new found affection at first, even though he’s more than willing to accept it. He comes over this very easily though, as soon as he sees how much affection you have for him he loves it instantly.
• Tim will crave your company after you first start showing him some love and affection, especially if he notices that you’re doing it because you want to and not because you think you have time while being with him. He’s constantly keeping himself close to you in the hopes of you giving him attention without him needing to ask directly at first and will keep giving you hints depending on how long it takes for you to catch on.
• If you show Tim affection in public, or while other people are around, he may get flustered and blush a lot at first. After a while he’ll become used to a bit PDA and will be quite comfortable with it as long as it isn’t too much.
• Tim wants to be honest with you, so he’s probably going to be the most truthful about things compared to the other people in his family. However, he still has a habit of leaving out key information from the things he tells you unless you trick him into a very comfortable situation where he can’t help himself but to open up to you.
Damian Wayne
• Damian isn’t going to react well to affection the first time you try to give him some, even if the two of you are deemed to be close. He simply isn’t used to it, so even if he wants it his body may naturally put its guard up due to it being a new concept he’s experiencing.
• It will be awkward for a while as he tries to move past this, but all he really needs it to get used to it and experience it more often. Once you show affection towards him on a regular occurrence then he will be more than happy to receive it in private. He still won’t be into PDA no matter how used to it he is.
•When the two of you are alone then he will absolutely want affection from you, especially after he’s had a difficult day. He’ll be blunt to you about it and may feel more inclined to show affection towards you rather than for you to behave that way towards him once he’s able to express himself well.
• He’ll be strongly against it in public. Not only does he see it as a weakness but he would also prefer it to be a highly private thing for him. If you ever reached out to hold his hand then he may hold it back after a while of consideration, but under no normal circumstances would he initiate it himself.
•After Damian is used to giving and receiving affection from you physically, it will be much easier for him to express his emotions. It may still be quite hard for him, but after he starts to open up he realises how much better he feels to do so.

Batman Fic Recs Feat. Identity Reveal
ALL of the fics are complete or oneshots. Mostly gen, but there will be a few with ships. I’ll mention in description if there are any ships :)
-
He Knows by Ortholeine
“Timothy Drake is a civilian, a normal boy. Kind of. He's normal in that he keeps secrets and has some hobbies. Those secrets and hobbies, though, are a little unique...and completely, 100% revolve around the crime-fighting family of Gotham.
A good friend of the Waynes, Tim finds himself dodging his heroes' attempts to reveal their identities to him in a misguided attempt to keep the status quo. No one seems to want to let it rest, unfortunately for Timothy Drake.”
Funny, silly, goofy…. Exactly what I want to see in identity reveal fics.
-
The Waynes, Damsels in Distress by hitthedeck
“Roses are red, violets are blue, Bruce Wayne and his kids get kidnapped every other week. Some things are just universal, undeniable facts of life.
Or, in which Bruce Wayne is still Batman and his kids are still Robins, but they keep letting themselves get kidnapped because they think it's funny.”
this one is on the list because it’s HILARIOUS. I love it so much.
-
Plagiarism is Not a Joke, Batman by popsunner
“‘How old are you?’
Bruce very much would like to have the last two minutes back please, turns out, he does not want to trust them with his identity.
‘Twenty-three,’ He growls.”
I love rereading this one…. VERY funny
-
Pretty Boys and Identity Problems by DarnGoshit
“In an effort to get over his crush on Robin, Kon pursues a relationship with a civilian Gothamite, Tim Drake.
Or, Tim accidentally Hannah Montana’s his crush... and it works?”
Tim Drake/Kon-El
Ah, secret identity shenanigans…
-
Captain Marvel’s Adopted? by Len_suilon_mellon
“When Captain Marvel sends out a distress call, the only League member available is Batman. Bruce comes to his aid, but he finds out that Billy is a 10-year-old homeless orphan with black hair and blue eyes. Obviously, he makes the only logical decision and adopts Billy. Because it's Bruce—who's allergic to revealing life-changing information—the League is left in the dark.”
5+1 fic where the JL discovers Billy’s ID, really cute
-
Every Fiber of My Being by navpike
“As much as Dick and his siblings have argued, Bruce has never budged on his "Keeping Secrets Policy". There's not a person alive outside of the family that knows the secret identity of any of the Bats. Not even Dick's boyfriend.
Dick understands the need for some secrets, knows that keeping their identities safe keeps them and their loved ones safe, but when he takes up the cowl, team dynamics aren't the only things that begin to change.”
Dick Grayson/Wally West
In which the whole secret identity thing causes many problems. It’s SO GOOD, I promise
-
miss me? by envysparkler
“Jason’s plan to observe his family’s reactions to his resurrection…does not go as intended.”
kind of an identity reveal fic? It’s more the “Jason’s alive” reveal, but I’m going to count it anyway
-
knockoff bat by impravidus
“5 times people noticed batman was acting differently + the 1 time someone found out why (+ the time someone finds the real batman)”
Dick Grayson/Wally West and Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent.
There’s a bit of hurt/comfort, but it’s really really good
-
Rumor Has It by rotasha
“A rumor gets out about Bruce Wayne and he ends up coming out to the Justice League. This is news to Clark, who has been pining over Bruce for years.”
Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent
okay. So. I have MANY thoughts about including this here, and I could write a lot about how a super hero’s secret identity inherently has many queer themes, but I won’t get into that. I think it counts as a kind of identity reveal, so here we are.
-
letter of complaint by envysparkler
“Batman finds himself captured by the new crime lord in Gotham, who has a bone to pick with him.”
one of MANY of my favorite fics where Jason comes back and reveals himself as the Red Hood
-
hand in unlovable hand by batmans_cheerleader and leviathans_watching
“A sound caught his attention, and instantly Jason was poised to throw himself at whoever came through the door. Tense, he waited, but when the door creaked open to reveal not one person, but a whole team, he hesitated.
They were carrying someone none too gently along with them, and Jason could only watch, frozen, as they completely ignored him, dumping the person into the cell, not even wincing at the sick sound their head made when it hit the ground.
Jason barely had time to take in that all-too-familiar cowl before the door slammed shut, and he was alone. With Bruce fucking Wayne.
Nausea swirled in his throat and he forced it down. Puking in his helmet was not fun. And yeah, he knew that from experience. What kind of sick abuse was this? Or was it just an awful, awful coincidence?”
yeah. Just. Jason being forced to eventually reveal himself to Bruce when they’re captured together… I ate that shit up
-
From the Shadows by Wolfsbanesparks
“All Billy Batson wanted was to survive a particularly rough week living on the streets of Fawcett City. The last thing he was looking for was a new family.
All Bruce Wayne wanted was to ask learn a bit more about his upbeat teammate under the guise of official Wayne Enterprises business. But he could never turn his back on a child in need. Especially one as surrounded by mystery as Billy.”
Featuring identity reveals from both Bruce and Billy. There’s a lot more to the fic than the reveals, but there’s a LOT of suspense leading up to them.

Nobody Messes With My Girl: Eddie Munson
Stranger Things Masterlist
word count: 730
Request: May I request an imagine with Eddie, where the reader is Eddie's girlfriend and gets bullied by Jason and maybe Jason gets physical with her leaving bruises and touches her inappropriately and dosent tell Eddie so Eddie finds out on his own and is furious??? Pleasee 
Tumblr media
You had just finished closing up the store for the night when you saw Jason's car sitting in the parking lot and didn't think anything of it until you heard him start showing insults at you which was normal because you were probably the only girl at Hawkins who didn't fall for his stupid ass wishing Eddie would have been able to pick up but at last his van was in the shop getting worked on.
"Hey! I'm talking to you slut!" He said walking up and grabbing your wrist.
"Who the hell do you think you are grabbing on me like that?" You said turning and backhanding as hard as you could.
"Stupid ass bitch." He said punching you knocking you to the ground making you groan as you wiped the blood from your nose.
"You hit like bitch Jason." You said looking at him.
"Hold her down." Jason said to the rest of the team who looked at him confused.
"Jason.." One of them tried to say but Jason cut him off.
"See how funny you think it is now." He said kicking you repeatedly before climbing on top of you making you panic at what he was about to do.
"Jason come on your going a little far now." Another member pleaded with Jason as his hand crept slowly up your shirt.
"You're a pig an absolute pig." You squirmed underneath him as his hand reached your bra.
"Man Eddie is such a lucky man." He said groping your breasts as you kept trying to get away from him.
"What the hell is going on here?" You heard what sounded like Steve causing everyone to run off as you lay there crying.
Steve walked up and helped you into his car and took you home where he helped get cleaned up as you told him what happened with tears streaming down your face and made him promise not to tell Eddie knowing he would blame himself.
"You can't keep this from him. He deserves to know." He pleaded with you but agreed.
Now since that incident, Eddie had noticed your injuries immediately but you dismissed them as tripping and falling, but he also noticed how distant you had become, how jumpy you were anytime he touched you which made him worry he did something to you. So after school, he went to talk to Robin and Steve to see if they knew anything.
"I know that look. What happened?" Eddie asked them.
Eddie it's not you....It was Jason.......he um attacked y/n more than insults this time...he got physical and handsy with her and I think had I not shown up that he would've done more." Steve said as Eddie felt anger build up in him at the thought of Jason hurting you.
"Eddie I know what you are thinking but you need to go see y/n and be there for her, we already submitted the tape to the police who are going after Jason.
You were cleaning your bruises which were starting to heal when someone knock on your door making you groan as you walked the hall to answer it. You opened it and saw Eddie your boyfriend standing on the side of it.
"Jason did this?" He asked tipping your chin up so he could examine your face as you nodded feeling the tears slide down your face.
"Who told you?" You asked him.
"Steve." He said making you roll your eyes as Steve couldn't keep a secret for shit but you also thanked him for doing so.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked semi mad but also thinking about what Robin said too.
"I wanted to tell you. I really did but I also knew that you would blame yourself for what happened and I was scared so I ask steve to keep quiet. I'm sorry." You said reaching for his hand.
"Why are you apologizing? None of this is your fault and I'm sorry you had to go through that, you don't deserve that and Jason is a complete prick for doing what he did." He said wrapping his arms around you.
You buried your head in his chest feeling grateful to have a boyfriend like Eddie who understood you and cared for you. While Eddie was glad to know he wasn't the reason for you pulling away and glad that you were in his once more, he thought about a way to get Jason back.

And May All Your Wishes Come True
Day three: Christmas list/wishes
I'm doing the 24 Days of X-Mas Files Challenge that msrafterdark posted!
Summary: What's Mulder's wish for Christmas? (fluff, wc: 1,395)
Tagging @today-in-fic
They are finishing up their latest case at the police station, with Scully filling out forms and both of them waiting for the social worker. Once more, the case has turned out not to be an x-files; rather than suspected werewolves, they’ve busted a cult that believed in human sacrifices to be performed at full moon. And not just any human sacrifices either.
Children.
There were so many children hidden away. Some who their parents had brought, and others who had been kidnapped. She still gets ice-cold shivers running down her spine, thinking of the small, terrified faces they’ve encountered.
Most children have been taken home to their desperate parents or to relatives. There’s only one boy left who doesn’t have anyone. And right before the Christmas holidays, too. She glances over at the boy who is sitting with Mulder and hanging on his every word. The sight causes a funny feeling in her stomach. She knows exactly what it is – and why – but she doesn’t want to admit it to herself. Even in the privacy of her own thoughts.
“Mr. Mulder,” the child says, unwrapping a piece of chocolate that Mulder must have had in his pocket. “Do you think Santa is real?”
“Oh, I know he is,” Mulder says with a smile.
“Really?” The boy scoots closer to him. “Have you seen him?”
“I have.”
Scully smiles. She just can’t help it. Despite everything, the boy trusts Mulder. He’s stuffed the chocolate into his mouth and is chewing noisily, staring at Mulder with his big brown eyes. There’s that feeling again, tugging at her insides. She tries to ignore it, but she can’t.
If she squints, she can just imagine that this child isn’t a stranger. That he isn’t someone else’s baby. With his shaggy brown hair he could be a mini Mulder. He could be Mulder’s and hers. But he isn’t. She knew that the IVF would mess with her hormones and her emotions, but she can’t let them overwhelm her. She needs to keep a professional distance. For the child’s sake and her own.
“Do you think Santa will still find me when I’m not home?” The boy’s demeanor has changed. He’s solemn now, his voice cracking with worry.
“He will, Jason,” Mulder assures him in a gentle tone. He touches Jason’s shoulder and squeezes it. “No matter where you are, Santa knows you and he will find you. Have you written a wish list for him? I’ll make sure he gets it.”
“You will?” The excitement in the boy’s voice returns. He’s almost in Mulder’s lap now, grinning up at him with so much hope and happiness that it breaks Scully’s heart.
“Of course. Santa is an old buddy of mine.”
“You’re the coolest, Mr. Mulder. But,” he trails off, a shaky sigh leaving his mouth.
“But what, Jason?”
“I didn’t write a list,” he says in a small voice. “I- we weren’t allowed to… I don’t think Santa would have come to that place.”
“Hey,” Mulder says, taking the boy under his arms and putting him in a chair. “I have an idea. Why don’t you write your Christmas list right here? There’s still some time. Let me- Scully, do you have a pen and some paper for us?” Both Mulder and Jason turn to her, wearing similar expressions. She swallows, not allowing her thoughts to go down that road again.
“Of course,” she says, finding her voice. All she has at hand is the bill from their motel. She folds it in half and hands it to Mulder who mouths a thank you. She’s just about done with filling out her form, so she gives him her pen, too.
“Here you go, Jason.”
“It won’t take long,” he says, already scribbling away. “I know exactly what I want.” Mulder and Scully exchange a look and exhausted smiles. After so many years together, she can read his face easily. She knows what he’s thinking. Her own secret thoughts that she didn’t want to admit to herself are written across Mulder’s face now.
She has to look away, afraid that if she doesn’t, she’ll start crying. They have one chance left. Just one. The IVF was a long shot to begin with but with every shot they take that doesn’t work, she just wants it more. And she wants it with Mulder. It’s not a new realization at all. After all, she asked him to be the sperm donor. But seeing him with Jason today has solidified her choice. It’s Mulder. In each and every way, it’s Mulder that she wants.
While Jason writes his Christmas list, the social worker arrives. Scully exchanges a few words with her and asks where they’re taking the boy. He has family on the other side of the country and that’s where he’ll go after the holidays.
Scully looks at him, at this boy whose tongue is peeking out while he draws a Christmas tree with presents under it on his list. He’s going to be fine. He’s going to get a home and a family who’ll love him the way he deserves.
“Jason, are you ready?” The social worker asks him.
“Just a second,” he says, turning to Mulder. “Have you written your Christmas list yet, Mr. Mulder?”
“I’m too old for Santa to visit me.” Mulder chuckles, but Jason shakes his head.
“You said you’re buddies. You have to have a wish, Mr. Mulder. I left you some space here.” The boy points at a blank space on the paper, right next to a doodle of a wrapped present. “You have to write it down,” Jason explains to him. “Or it won’t come true.”
“This is your list,” Mulder reminds him but the boy is adamant.
“What’s your biggest, greatest, bestest wish, Mr. Mulder?” Jason smiles at him, the gaps in his teeth showing.
“It’s-”
“No, you have to write it down. Right here.” The social worker chuckles and Scully can’t help but smile too.
“You’re very convincing,” Mulder says, running a hand through the boy’s hair. “I’ll write down a wish. Happy now?” Jason leans over and checks what Mulder has written. He glances at him and nods.
“You really make sure Santa gets my list?”
“I promise you, Jason.”
“And he’ll find me?”
“He’ll find you, no matter where you are.”
“Thank you, Mr. Mulder.” Jason throws himself at Mulder, who catches the boy and hugs him back. “I hope your wish comes true, too. Bye, Mr. Mulder. And bye, Agent Scully.”
“Bye, Jason,” she says, waving back at him.
“Cute kid,” Mulder says once Jason and the social worker have left. They’re finally free to go home, too.
“He really is. I hope he’ll recover from what he’s experienced.”
“He will,” Mulder says, sounding confident. “Did the social worker say where they’re taking him? I have to play Santa.” He smiles. “He wants a bike, and hm, a kitten. That one might be difficult. But he should get his bike. Don’t you think?” She nods, not trusting her words. She knows Mulder will move heaven and earth so that Jason will get his bike Christmas morning. And whatever else is on that list. Just to give the boy a reason to keep believing, to keep going. That’s her Mulder.
“What did you wish for?” she asks once they get to their car.
“Oh, you know,” he says nonchalantly. “The usual.”
“Which is what?” To her surprise, he hands her the piece of paper before he starts the car. She quickly reads through Jasons’s wishes before she stumbles upon Mulder’s familiar scrawl. Her heart constricts as she reads his words: ‘I wish that my best friend’s greatest wish comes true’.
“Mulder,” she whispers, her emotions overwhelming her.
“It’s all I want,” he says, quickly glancing over at her. He takes one hand off the wheel and grabs hers. “And not just for you, Scully. I want this for us. Spending time with Jason today, I- Christmas is the time to ask for miracles, right? Maybe we can make one. Hell, we’re due for one.” She sniffs, wiping a few tears away. “Hold on to that list. I know you’re the skeptic here, but… I want to believe. I do believe, Scully.”
“I do, too,” she admits, and Mulder squeezes her hand. And maybe, just maybe, their wish will come true.

How do you think the batfam and co. (Selina, Clark, Diana) take their coffee? - 🌻
I DONT KNOW COFFEE IVE ONLY EVER DRANK IT ONCE AND THAT WAS LAST MONTH POOKIE. FOR THE FIRST TIME TOO MIND YOU
Tim: obviously strong as FUCK. That shit will keep you up for DAYS. DAYS. Has been dubbed the king of espressos by local cafes at this point. First time barista’s quake in fear when they get his order I feel.
Cass: she gives vibes that she’d like her coffee bitter as fuck but imagine how funny it is one day someone else takes a sip and it’s the sweetest shit you ever drank. Enough to give you cavities with one sip.
Steph: she gives me the vibes of someone who would drink a latte, honestly. Maybe with caramel or vanilla syrup, too. She channels the bitterness of that drink into whatever the fuck chaos she wants to cause that day.
Clark: cappuccino 4 lifer this man is. You can’t tell me otherwise. He’d die before he drinks any bitter shit. Gives Steph bombastic side eye the first time they might’ve gotten their orders together.
Diana: this cafe in my hometown has a spiced brown sugar cold brew as part of their seasonal special and I can see her drinking that tbh
Selina: she gives iced latte with mocha syrup honestly
Bruce: black like his emo ass soul /j
In all seriousness Bruce seems like a secret die hard pumpkin spice latte fan
Duke: he tried coffee once and probably hated it (like me). Probably tried a cold brew maybe, white chocolate syrup and hated that shit with a passion.
Jason: the only thing that calls for him is an americano honestly. Maybe with hazelnut syrup or smthn
Dick: he SCREAMS cookies n cream frappe
Damian: surprisingly enough probably also gets an espresso but because of Tim he makes the barista’s have a trauma response
Alfred: only drinks coffee when he’s desperate. He doesn’t give the type to be picky but I can see him drinking a latte when he’s desperate for a bitter wake up call.

Was wondering if you’d be able to write an Eddie Munson one shot/imagine with Hoppers (Gn) kid. :)
A/N - Yes. Definitely. Absolutely. (I am currently binge watching Gravity Falls.)
“Hey, officer! We need to report a crime!” Jason, and two of his friends ran up to you. You knew they were some of the kids from the basketball team, considering when you tried to have a conversation with Lucas, it’s all he would talk about.
“Yeah? What is it?” You didn’t like him, he seemed like a popular douchebag.
“It’s Eddie! He’s dating someone thats as hot as you!” He was grinning, his two friends behind him laughing.
“Haha, you’re so fucking funny. Get out of here before I punch your fucking teeth out.”
“Officer! Relax, we’re just having fun. Did you forget what that is?” He still didn’t know how to fuck off, did he?
“I have more fun writing papers then your girlfriend could ever have riding your dick, cunt. Now screw off.” You walked away, leaving the stunned possum there to be mocked by his friends.
“What they want?” Dustin came up to you, and now walked alongside you.
“What do you think? They almost always mess with me. It started right after-“
“You arrested Jason cause you caught him underage drinking, I know. By the way, Eddie is looking for you, he wants to show you something.” Dusting grabbed you by the forearm and walked you somewhere.
“I’m guessing you know but you’re not going to tell me cause he told you keep it secret?”
“Yep.”
“Wonderful. How’s your mom doin’?”
“She’s fine, she’s nearly always fine unless she can’t find me.”
“Hey! Remember, I have to keep a close eye on everyone and their cats. Especially considering my dad was chief of police. I have a major role to step up too, and it’s not easy when everyone considers you a joke cause you’re barely out of high school.”
“I see where you’re coming from, but I feel like I may be the wrong person to complain to. Nancy would understand better than anyone.”
“Yeah, I know. I’m just frustrated is all. How’s hellfire doin’?”
“It’s going great. Mine and Mike’s costume shirts are almost done. Thanks for telling us about the club, we might’ve found out too late otherwise.”
“Nah, Eddie would’ve let you join, he likes you both. That and I would have convinced him to if he had told you no.”
“Yeah, cause we’re your favourite teenagers and you love us.”
“Keep telling yourself that, Henderson.” You watched in amusement as he turned to you, mouth agape and brows furrowed, looking insulted.
You chuckled, it was easy to annoy the kid. He was loveable, but slightly gullible.
"Well, are you at least telling me where we're going? You've dragged me nearly across the school."
"Parking lot."
"How many bullies you got so far?"
"I don't know, at least 12 though."
"R.I.P."
"Whatever, we're here. Eddie!" Dustin stopped you at Eddies old van. The side door opened and Eddie stepped out.
"Hello Love." He pulled your hand up, and kissed your knuckles. "I hope my friend treated with respect."
"I've known him way longer then you have Munson. Second, he treats me with respect cause he knows ill beat his ass."
"They'vedone it before."
"I hit you once."
"I still threw up."
"Hey, treat my guy/gal with respect!!"
"Sorry."
"Yeah, anyway, look here." Eddie pulled you towards the van, the door he existed still open.
When you peered inside, it was a mini cuddle space. Blankets, pillows, and two containers with music and candy. Fairy lights were hung around the posters that were on the vans walls.
"Holy shit! This is epic! Did you do this today?"
“Yeah, I skipped my last two periods to work on it beanie.”
“What have I said about skipping school? You can get in trouble for that shit. And don’t act like you don’t fucking know.”
"I'm sorry, Y/N, but I really wanted it to be special for you." He cupped your face with both his hands, smiling down at you softly.
"It is, but don't skip class for me, Dork. I thought 86' was your year?"
"It is baby, I promise. Just thought I should surprise you is all, you deserve to be spoiled.”
“That sounds sweet and cheesy. Let’s go!”
You climbed into the back of his van and sat down on the blankets. Eddie grinned and closed the door, walking around and jumping into the drivers seat.
“Where are we off to?”
“A cliff of sorts, I wanna stare gaze and snuggle up with you in the blankets.”
He chuckled. “Can do babe, but it won’t be dark for a few more hours. Wanna do anything in between then?”
“Ice cream?”
<3.

Born to be my baby
Inspired in Bon Jovi’s song Born to be my baby
Tumblr media
If we stand side by side (all night) There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright) And I'll know that you'll be live In my heart till the day that I die
'Cause you were born to be my baby And baby, I was made to be your man
Pairing: Eddie Munson x Fem Henderson! Reader
Summary: Eddie drops the L word to you with a grand gesture and you think nothing can go wrong anymore, before everything goes to hell. 
Warning: Coursing but this is pure fluff my friends. Also english is not my first language so sorry for any mistake
A/N: Let me know what you think, like and reblog are always appreciate. And if you like to request something would make me very happy. Anyways, just a little something I did while we wait for Joseph with Jimmy Fallon.
A little background story between Eddie and reader: The colors suit him
.............................................................................................................
“What are the plans for tonight doll?" Eddie's voice is calm and focused as he's walking behind you holding a ridiculous amount of tapes that need to be organized. Robin and Steve hate with a capital H to organize the tapes and you don't really mind; as long as your boss doesn't interfere, you take care of it while your friends help you with the other stuff you need to do. Since apparently your boyfriend can't be separated from you, he often would appear at your job with silly excuses as of why he was stopping by:
"You have my cassette" 
"Wanted to check the new movies"
"Can you help me finish my homework?" 
 The last one wasn’t silly, he was trying really hard to pass all his classes and graduate, so he would go asking for help or simply sit on the floor with his notes studying and such. You were so proud of him; he began to think about your future together and was sure ‘86 was his year.
 "I was thinking that maybe you could stop by for a late late lunch and then we got back together to school" 
“Are you going to the game Eddie?”
“Very funny love. Hellfire is starting later today” 
“If you already have a plan, why did you ask?”
You smile fondly at each other, Eddie was a dedicated boyfriend, not only he filled you with love but support. It was no secret that you were saving as much as you could to go to college and sometimes it felt impossible. Your mom was a great help since she let you keep all of your salary for your savings, still wasn’t enough, the amount of money you needed was a goal that now you were sure couldn’t reach. 
With Eddie’s support you no longer felt like that way. He’d support you no matter what, you appreciate it a lot when on long days we’d wait for you in his trailer or your house to take care of you. He was the definition of doe eyes and you truly believe that he holds the entire galaxy in them, they were very expressive as if telling you what he wanted, you just have to learn how to read them. 
Eddie stayed with you for about ten more minutes before he had to go to join Hellfire. He told you about how Chrissy asked him to sell her something stronger than his usuals and how she was acting weird, even made a play by play of him trying to comfort her, he tried to be subtle but ridiculously failed because of his dramatic personality. He offered her to go to his trailer after the game to sell her something else, maybe she could think about it and change her mind. That’s your big scary satanist cult leader Hawkins. 
You knew Chrissy from a distance and thought of her as a sweet kind girl, couldn’t agree more when Eddie told you that her dating Jason was horrendous, she deserved so much better. For a moment you felt a pinch of jealousy, it was no secret to you that Eddie used to have a crush on her, like every other boy in Hawkins, you weren’t scared of having those kind of awkward conversations with him, both of you have decided that  it was for the best to be completely open; “It’s what's best for our relationship princess, I don’t want us to sabotage this”. 
 At first his idea sounded like a huge mistake, you didn’t know if you would be able to be that open, but turns out he was right, you could talk to each other about anything and everything. One day you were laying in his van and started talking about your days in high school, he messed around saying that you never noticed him but that was a lie, you always thought he was pretty handsome and funny, but that was it. Back then you had a huge crush on Billy, Max’s stepbrother, but after a series of events you finally noticed that he was an asshole, as the redhead had been telling you. Your confession didn’t surprise Eddie, from the moment Billy stepped onto the school grounds he took all the girls’ attention, even competing with Steve Harrington. And when he told you about how in middle school he started to have a crush on Chrissy after the talent show, you mock him a lot, it was cute. That was your dynamic and it made the relationship more beautiful. You had fights here and there but because of your way of communication with each other it was easier to resolve the problems. 
 Back to the present, after a long shift you finally arrive at Eddie’s trailer and knock on the door; he ran quickly to open but instead of letting you enter he walked out. You laugh asking what he was doing, he just let out a big smile and gave you a tight hug and a kiss on your forehead, freshly bath he smelled like his lavender shampoo and mint gum. 
 “Eddie, really what is happening?”
“You have to promise that what you’re about to see and hear won’t change us”
“Why? You have some other girl in there? Maybe another boy?”
 He laughed and intertwined his fingers with yours, guiding you to the door of the trailer, you were about to open when he let go of your hand and stood behind putting his hands on your eyes. You started to feel excited and nervous, every time he touched you a rush of emotions ran through your body, and this was no exception, plus he was planning something. One of the things you love about Eddie was his playful personality, taking things seriously wasn’t difficult as he knew how to deal with it but he much rather take life the easy way. He especially had a gift to make you laugh while giving you a pep talk. 
 “Ok, ready princess 1…2…3” he took his hands from your eyes and stood in front of you, holding a red tulip. You couldn't speak, hell you were barely even breathing. In the middle of the living room was a pizza and a bottle of wine on a tv tray, the curtains were closed so the room could be enlightened with some candles and of course there were flowers. Some red roses were carefully dispersed all over the place and rose petals garnishing the tv tray. You knew your children and recognized their pillows and blankets on the floor to make everything look cozier. Max, Lucas, Mike and of course your brother Dustin had been helping Eddie with the preparations, they had a bet going as to why the metalhead was doing it. He didn’t know that. 
“Eddie…” you had tears burning your eyes and the moment you spoke they would fall all over your face. You manage to say his name but a knot on your throat stops you from saying anything else. 
“M’lady, allow me to offer you this humble flower as proof of my devotion for you. I know it’s beneath you. If i could I’d travel the world to collect and give you every tulip in this miserable world” he handed you the tulip and you took it carrying it to your chest.  “But being Dungeon Master does not pay a lot” 
 You laugh, finally letting all the tears roll down. With the urge of a thousand dragons, you closed the space between and hugged him. You hug him like never before allowing you to smell his scent and feel his body, with no hesitation he cupped your face and kissed you not letting you cut the closeness. Eddie loved the taste of your lips, he sometimes wondered if it was your strawberry chapstick or just your natural sweet taste, it was majestic how soft you felt and how he couldn’t get enough.  The kiss got intense with your tongue making its way into his mouth, you just grabbed him because you couldn't get any closer to him. Your heartbeats merging, he tasted like sunshine on a warm summer day as well as a cold fall breeze. He didn’t want to but made himself stop, every time you kissed his mind floated away making it hard for him to think, mainly the reason why he stopped the kiss, he had something important to say. 
 “It’s true, I wanted to fill the room with tulips, but those shits are expensive” You told him your favorite flowers were tulips because they had a delicate elegance no other flower had, and because for its simple shape, the first flowers you learn how to draw. This was back when you first started to speak. And he remembered it. “That’s why I bought one red tulip and red roses. They kinda match”
“It’s ok Eds, this is perfect” Eddie leads you to your pillow and sits in front of you.
“Remember when I said that I was all in? When we had our first date I mean” you just nodded and took his hand softly drawing circles in his skin in an attempt to calm him down as he looked nervous. “Well, I want you to know that at this moment I’m more sure than ever that I’m all in. When I asked you to be my girlfriend, I couldn’t make it special because I was so broke. I had to make out with you so you wouldn’t notice it had been a lame moment” you laugh at the memory; it had been intimate and wouldn’t change any detail about it. 
“Anyways, you are amazing Y/N Henderson. Every quality you have fights in my head to see which one I love the most about you and I enjoy being with you way too much. I keep thinking about what we’d do when we’re together and the thought of losing you because you realize I’m just a screwed up terrifies me… but I know that we’re a great team together, you make me want to be a better person and do something for myself so I can be on your level. I know that we can take whatever the future throws at us if we're together because… because I love you Y/N”
You paralyze at hearing the words you only thought you’d hear in your dreams. He can only watch you, hoping you feel the same or at least can bear the fact that he loves you and won’t change your relationship. Suddenly he notices the small smile on your lips grow onto a bigger one. In a quick bustle you sit on his lap and give him small kisses across his face with your arms around his neck hugging him close. 
“I love you too Eddie, so so much. I can’t imagine my life without you” his eyes lit up and he started competing with you with small kisses, he’s faster than you and giggled every time he gave you a quick kiss on the lips. It’s also very amusing to him how slow your reflexes are. “But don’t you ever say that my boyfriend is a screwed up again or I’ll beat your ass, people would be lucky to have him in their lives”.
After staring at each other for what it felt like years, the two of you proceed to eat and talk. The room was quickly filled with laughs and hopeful words; after confessing their love you started to talk about your future together. Once Eddie graduates, you’d move out to a big city and both get a job. It didn’t have to be someplace fancy, you couldn’t afford it anyway, but big enough for the kids and Robin and Steve to come. Meanwhile you’d still save for college or maybe even start in a community college that had an art program while Eddie would pursue his dream of making it in the music industry.  
It will be a bumpy road for sure, right you were nothing but kids hitching down the road of life although if you stay side by side there is a big chance you’ll get by. Being religious was never a scene of yours; you’d seen the evil that could exist, but also the good and all your experiences made you believe that life had a plan for you and Eddie. Only God would know the reasons…
“What would happen if you don’t make it?” you were currently sitting between his legs with your back on his chest and turned around to see him. His eyes were staring at the ceiling, immersed in his thoughts. His look made you realized he was talking to himself, the future was scary if you’d fucked up it would only be your responsibility only. This was your life you were talking about. 
“Well, I’ve always thought that the future is not necessarily a one-way road you know? Like, I want to major in art history and work for a museum, but there are other options” you turn your body to be face to face with your legs around his waist. “I could work in a gallery, or a magazine or teach; I just hope one day I’ll be able to open a small coffee shop where I can help aspiring artists sell their paintings and sculptures and books. So yeah, I believe you can make it however you want because you don’t know what the future holds. As long as you keep your passion for music, you’ll make it Eddie”.
“Before you, I’d only see the clouds, but you’d teach me to see the sun also. I really love you Y/N, please stay with me forever” he grabbed your hand and put it in his chest after giving it a small kiss. “Because princess, I’m sure you were born to be my baby and I was made to be your man” 
 After hours a couple of hours of being together in the trailer you head on your way to school, you had promised Lucas to see him at the game because maybe he’d play, at school you would see the game behind Robin who was in the band while Eddie will be with Dustin and the rest of hellfire playing D&D. You planned everything, after finishing his campaign and the game your boyfriend would go to his trailer to meet Chrissy, in the meantime you’ll head to your house to get clothes and see him later. 
You couldn’t stop feeling butterflies in your stomach and your smile never looked more sincere, Eddie had just told you that he loves you with a grand gesture. You were ready for whatever life had prepared for you, you had a lovely family, great friends and a boyfriend that had proven to love you enormously. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

"Bring back young justice so we can get back wally"
"bring back young justice so we can see the jason arc conclude"
well i, for one, wants to know where ra's al ghul's arc is heading. Like hes so funny to me.
He got betrayed and attacked one time on screen and decide "you know what this whole supervillain/demons head/leader of the league of assassins thing just isnt worth it"
And then he just gave up?? like hes not the leader of the loa anymore, hes not a member of the light anymore and the last time we saw him he provided therapy sessions for three people who clearly need it
Also like his dynamic to jason like in the comics hes like "GET JASON TODD OUT OF MY SIGHT HES A MENACE TO SOCIETY AND I DONT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM" and here hes like "Jason its time for your 5 pm therapy session come sit we have to get your memory back"
Like my guy in the comics is a constant threat to batman and co, meanwhile his yj counterpart is just like chilling on his island with his daughter and two grandsons, providing therapy sessions. Like heh???
Like do i believe hes fully reformed? maybe, i mean, dick said" ras al ghul doesnt lie" that doesnt mean he cant keep secrets
Do i believe its all a ploy and he or talia are secretly still in charge of lao? i mean, wouldnt be the first time this happened
Do i believe they are gonna manipulate jason and make him believe bruce replaced him and such? honestly, idky but i dont, like i know surprise thats basically what they did in comics but i just dont believe it? like i believe this jasons anger is gonna be solely his not because someone manipulated him into thinking bruce doesnt care about him
Like between arkham knight and under the red hood, we have had two jasons who were powered by two different goals. Arkham knight, he wanted revenge cause Bruce abandoned him/didnt look for him. UtRH, he wanted to know why joker was still alive. So clearly while we still have the motive of why he was replaced, i think the writers are gonna write a different goal which is gonna be more closely related to his death (like otherwise why keep it a mystery all these years) . Like who knows maybe Jason was angry at Bruce before he even died. Or maybe since the show is more focused on the younger heroes it will be Dick or Tim hes mad at (more likely dick than tim)

Cookies: Jason Todd x reader
Christmas bingo day 18 : cookies
Tumblr media
Her laughing was so hard and so disturbingly turning into desperate sobbing, that Jason could not help getting alarmed. So, throwing his book away and almost tripping over their cat he jumped off the couch rushing to the bedroom where his lovely, emotionally unstable girlfriend were fighting for her breath, almost spitting her lungs out rolling in the sheets and holding her belly.
"Y/n?" He stuttered, quite amused by the scene in front of his eyes though he couldn't deny certain cuteness to it. She felt comfortable enough around him to actually let her guards down and turn into happy child mode. To the point where she couldn't hear him."Y/n!" He tried again falling on his stomach on the bed causing her to jump a little form the recoil "what's so funny babe?"
"Oh Jace!" She rolled on the side to face him "I've just talked to f/n. Apparently your older brother -"
"Not my brother -" Jason muttered turning a little bit grumpy, only earning eye rolling and tongue sticking from her.
"Technicals, love. Whats important is that Dick got her into baking cookies. Tricked her with using the word nutcracker." Y/n chuckled
"She thought he was going to take her out for the ballet, didn't she?" Jason couldn't help a smirk at the story. "This does sound like Dick."
"Pun intended?" His girl smirked back knowingly
"Most definitely pun intended. So how did it end, did he burn the load or did f/n had to do the work? Wait-- don't answer that I think I already know."
"He said it was a couple bonding exercise."
"Oh really?" Jason raised an eyebrow scooting closer to her and grabbing her waist "I got some other ideas for that -"
"Yeah good thing we settled on not baking this year -" she wriggled out of his embrace, sitting on the bed cross legged and fixing her hair without a care of what Dick and f/n did.
And then it hit her, her brain shutting off from the reality.
And when she looked at Jason she knew he figured it out too.
***
There was no freaking way Jason and y/n were going to get outdone in the baking area. Never .
***
And if the oldest batman son made (sort of) cookies, it could only mean that he was going to bring them to a family feast and keep on bragging about hidden culinary talent.
No freaking way.
So acting like a two pieces of the same, well-oiled machine Jason and y/n gathered all the necessary ingredients, grabbed their matching aprons and started producing something that could, hands down, be called a masterpiece.
The recipie that never failed them was enriched with a secret ingredient called love as they laughed and bantered during the preparation.
And obviously he didn't mean to blow that flour her way and made her sneeze. And that vicious smile on his face only meant apologies. It really wasn't Jason's fault that she took this a cue to get all competitive.
"You know what?" Once she managed to wipe the white powder from her face her eyes glistened mischievously "I got an idea"
"Did you think about it a lot?"
"Well it took me longer than it takes you to finish when-"
"Shut up!" He turned red instantly getting a handful of cinnamon and rubbed it into her crystal white apron "oh, you're so clumsy princess, such a messy cook. Maybe you should just leave the professional to do the complicated work?"
Much to his surprise, instead of lunging at him (which would give him opportunity to grab her and tease her in some other ways than verbal) his words only made her take an exhale, shake her head and smile.
Uh huh. Not a good sign.
"You want to stand against me Todd? You sure about that? I don't think you realise what's coming for you, pretty boy." Her hands found a way to her hips as she stood in a power pose that could do very little to intimidate him.
"Flattery will get you nowhere princess" he leaned forward over the kitchen counter testing her nerves and patience.
"Are you that terrified you feel the urge to distract me?"
"May the best cook win" he grinned pulling her cooking hat onto her eyes blocking her view for a few seconds just to get a head start, grab the ingredients and put them out of her reach.
"That's cheating!" She protested trying to retrieve the necessary products
"I can't remember us setting the rules."
"Bully!"
"That's not what you said when- ouch!" The sudden stepping on his foot took him by surprise, giving her the chance to grab the baking powder and eggs and start running. Once she reached the pantry, she immediately locked the door.
At the moment they were at an impasse.
Y/n had the eggs and baking powder while Jason was left with flour and sugar.
Pretty much neither of them could make actual and edible cookies without cooperating.
"Come on princess don't be like that." He yanked on the door handle "you can't win you know it"
"Is that a surrender I hear in your voice?"
"You wish! I'm merely giving you a chance to walk with your head high and not shamefully defeated"
"Admit it you can't do a single thing without my input!"
"I think that's pretty obvious at this point of our relationship..." He said, his tone suddenly turning soft. "It scares me sometimes how dependant of you I am... Come on baby open up..."
"You're not playing me?" She asked from behind the door, her heart beating so loud that the blood was rushing in her ears
"Cross my heart-" he started but before he finished, she actually unlocked the door and stood in the doorframe still a little bit hesitant and careful, having learnt to watch out for him and his games.
"Hey...." She muttered diligently assessing the situation.
"Fool!" Jason yelled, grabbing her and pulling her to a kiss that seemed to last forever but still not long enough. "You didn't actually think I didn't have an ulterior motive did you?"
"You're such a dork Todd ..." She chuckled (not) trying to break free.
"Oh damn, this woman is still talking! Not on my watch."
And once their lips met again, they had the world in their grasp in the person of one another. For what they cared the rest of it could have burned.
And talking about burning -
"Our cookies are still gonna be better right?" She pulled back after a minute not really capable of getting rid of that competitiveness.
"Damn right. But the dough can wait a little bit longer." He retorted.
Preferably all night cause they were going to be busy with some other kind of sugar and sweetness.

Can you imagine uncle Gerry?
First of all rich family friends so cancer in remission or even treated.
Secondly Gerry is atleast Eye aligned so he'll know the secret identity which would save Tim a lot of problems.
Thirdly the irony of Gerard Keay no.1 hater of Jurgen Leitner because of mommy issues getting along with Janet Drake daughter of Jurgen Leitner and guardian of Tim Drake grandson of Jurgen Leitner (both of whom are also no.1 haters of Jurgen Leitner because of daddy issues and intergenerational trauma).
Fourthly imagine Dick and Bruce being like, "ok how do we tell Tim that his beloved uncle allegedly skinned his own mother alive?" (In case Tim didnt create a fake identity for Gerry).
Fifthly i think Gerry would have killed Joker, not even for anything personal, maybe he saw an avatar of desolation and it was on sight? Maybe he was trying to get rid of a Leitner and accidentally killed Joker with it? Maybe he kinda missed a Leitner and Joker got his hands on it which ended up killing him? All i know is Gerry probably doesnt even know who Joker is, he just sorta accidentally got him killed (Jason comes back and he's like, "well it is shitty that Bruce replaced me, but atleast he killed the Joker." And Tim is like "uhhhh actually")
Oh my FUCKING GOD YOU ARE A GENIUS
you know i have to write this now right? RIGHT??? God. I know what im doing in my downtime at work tomorrow. Holy fuck
Uncle Gerry who chooses to leave the Magnus Institute and is adopted by the daughter of his hated (one sided) enemy. He's brought back home to Gotham and falls in love with it. He's introduced to Tim as his uncle Gerry, and Tim, who thinks Gerry is the SHIT goes hell yes. Uncle Gerry lemme show you all of my cool stuff. And gerry is awkward at first bc hes like uhhhh weird small (11 year old) child who wants him to paint his nails black too. There is a goth child tim phase is what im saying. His cancer is also immediately caught and treated, and he recovers
Anyway after the accident where janet dies and jack is in a coma, he finds out that theyve put him down as tims guardian. And hes like. Uhhhhhhhhh. Tim is distraught but he loves gerry even though he keeps trying to convince him to take up a safer hobby than being robin. It does not work, so gerry basically activates his 'baby monitor' (using the eye). Both bruce and dick are like. Tim. Tim. Why does your guardian have a criminal record of -checks documents- SKINNING HIS MOTHER
Tim points out the trial fell apart bc of a lack of evidence and bruce is going insane bc there was evidence!!! There was absolutely so much evidence!!!!!! But tim is like. Nah. Gerry wouldnt do that. Hes cool.
And YES HE WOULD KILL THE JOKER ACCIDENTALLY hed be held up or something bc ha ha funny goth man and gerry, channeling his inner elias, commits pipe murder. Either that or the eye is like hey you wanna do something funny? unscrew this lightbulb. So he does. And later when the joker holds up the store or something an electric failure causes the bulb to explode and a shard lodges itself into the jokers brainstem.

Still finishing up the final bits and editing for ATFO. It'll definitely be up before I go to bed tomorrow, I 100% promise....especially since I'm traveling starting Tuesday so I'm posting it even if it's the last thing I do the night before I leave.
Since I didn't quite make the weekend deadline. Here's the first (undedited) scene which also happens to be something of a flashback.
Word count for the chapter at large is looking like around 7k-8k words. This chapter is also kinda a rough one, so forewarning and please keep mental health in mind when reading.
------
It’s funny how lazy afternoons can matter the most. 
In the moment, they’re so…forgettable--like the tick of a clock, indistinguishable from one moment to the next as they all blend together.  But, sometimes, even years later and those lazy little moments stick in his head as soft and as tough as silk.
“This is stupid.”
Warm sun’s shining down through the library windows and Jason’s toes are curled along the window seat. He’s glaring down at the book with a dark look that’s near comical on a fifteen year old face that hasn’t fully caught up to his ears.
(He will. And that glare will turn into something that sends minor thugs cowering. But this is still Jason at fifteen. Not sixteen and growing. Not seventeen and catching up too fast. Not eighteen.)
Dick grins. “Pretty sure nearly a century of scholars would fight you on that. Don’t worry, though, I think you can take ‘em.”
“Scholars don’t know shit.” Jason tosses the book down with a vengeance--still careful with the pages, Dick notes with amusement, because Jason’s a nerd even with books he hates. “What the fuck does she want me to write about anyway? This whole assignment’s bullshit.”
“Alfred really is going to wash your mouth with soap one day.”
Jason’s pacing now. “She wants us to talk about why it’s a tragedy? It’s not a tragedy! It’s just a bunch of people making dumbass choices!” He huffs. “Real tragedies are shit like, I don’t know, Oedipus Rex or Prometheus Bound. You know, people who at least tried to do the right thing but were doomed before they even began. ‘Cause it’s fate. That’s the stuff that’s terrifying.”
“How so,” Dick asks.
Jason makes a face. “Nothing’s worse than being helpless.”
(He wonders if maybe that’s the reason this memory sticks out the most. But no. When it comes down to it, everybody makes a choice.)
“But, this?” Jason thumps the book. “How am I supposed to talk about tragedy with this? There’s nothing like destiny, it’s not a secret. The guy in this knows what’ll happen if he doesn’t say anything, but he does it anyway.”  He collapses back on his seat. “I don’t get it.”
“But, that’s why,” Dick says. “There’s no fate about it, only human nature. It’s the sadness of knowing what’s going to happen and walking towards it instead of away.”
Jason frowns. “Then, why would anyone do it? Why make the same choice if you already know how it’ll end?”
Dick smiles and answers…
(Ah. Dick remembers why he forgot this now.)
