More wet nurse omegaverse for @miri-tiazan, for they deserve it this week. ❤
“Jeju non khuluf,” Lor mumbles drowsily as he nuzzles Carl some more, which in Kryptonian means something like “mother is warm”, if not quite with perfect grammar. He’s two; Bruce isn’t going to judge his verb tenses. Also, the existence of linguistic drift in the Phantom Zone is a possibility and actually the likelihood of different vernaculars and dialects arising there would be–
Something Bruce can look into later, he reminds himself. 
Lor is definitely trying to get Carl to scent him like he’s his pup, though. That level of nuzzling isn’t subtle. Carl is scenting him by nuzzling him back, but not putting off omega-mother pheromones to do it with. Less my pup and more just general waves of adore-so-sweet-adore-adore-adore, though who knows if Carl’s even putting any of that into his scent on purpose, given how clumsy he’s been with his pheromone-communication so far. Lor seems content enough, at least going by his purring, though he doesn’t stop his insistent nuzzling. Carl doesn’t seem to mind.
Jon sits up hesitantly, attempting to slip onto the narrow strip of couch that Carl’s broad frame isn’t taking up, but ending up sitting sideways on Carl’s stomach instead. That could possibly be a pup who hasn’t had milk in a long time hesitating to leave the omega who just gave it to him, but more likely is because Carl still has an arm looped around him and no apparent interest in letting him escape it. Obviously Jon could–effortlessly, in fact–but he doesn’t seem particularly motivated to. He looks a little embarrassed about it, but he stays sitting on Carl, who keeps an arm loosely but heavily wrapped around his waist. 
It’s a common side effect of nursing, of course–it’s a bonding activity from both sides, and it’s not unusual for anyone involved to want to stay physically close for a little while after, or at least spend some time in each other’s personal space. Even just for a “snack”, as Carl said. 
Bruce assumes that’s what Clark is reminding himself of right now, anyway. 
“Jeju,” Lor says, then bites Carl’s shoulder like he’s trying to actually take a chunk out of him. Bruce catches Clark repressing a wince. Kryptonian pups tend to bite, apparently, and usually bite hard. Bruce doesn’t know why, evolutionarily speaking, but Jon apparently bruised Lois halfway to the bone even as a toddler–meaning, before his powers came in. 
“Why are you so cute,” Carl mutters incredulously, then nuzzles Lor harder and rubs a hand up his back again. Bruce is mildly relieved that the pup apparently isn’t biting as hard as Jon used to, but they’re going to have to discourage that habit before he decides to bite as hard as Jon used to. “God, you’re so cute. I would definitely go supervillain for you. Do you want me to, because I would do that for you.” 
“He’d probably be happy if you just played with him a bit,” Clark mentions wryly. Carl looks surprised to be addressed, or maybe just to be reminded there are people besides Lor and Jon in the room. 
“Oh, uh, right,” Carl says, a flicker of self-consciousness crossing his face for the first time. 
It occurs to Bruce that an omega with an alleged detachment disorder might, perhaps, not be very experienced at playing with pups.

Fuck, Marry, Kill
Short, dumb, crackfic based off this post
Summary: the Justice League plays FMK as a team-building exercise. Batman joins them for the first time and finds out a little more than he wanted to about their opinions of certain Billionaires.
_____________________________________
Later that day, Bruce wouldn't be able to say what possessed him to join them.
Usually, he's not really one to play silly team-building downtime games with the other members of the Justice League. He's generally too busy working overtime to manage his double life, family, and make up for his lack of powers to stay ahead of the other Heroes and maintain his place as their leader and strategist.
Maybe he felt he needed a break, maybe he just wasn't looking forward to going home and dealing with Jason's teen angst right away.
Whatever the reason, when Superman politely invited him to join them as he always does, he didn't turn it down for once.
The other league members are varying degrees of surprised and excited when he shrugs, says "sure, why not," and takes a seat at one of the chairs on the edge of the group's mostly-circular formation.
Flash breaks the news to him first: "we're playing Fuck Marry Kill, do you know how it works, bats?"
He almost rolls his eyes. "Yes, I was a teenager too, once."
The dry statement draws some laughter from Diana and Clark, and the group eases up.
"Let's get back to it, then," Lantern claps, grinning. "New round?"
There's a general consensus of agreement, and the green-clad hero claps again. "Great, let's do billionaires; Bezos, Luthor, or Wayne."
"Hell yeah," Flash cheers, "I got this one, easy. Kill Luthor, obviously. Marry Bezos for the money, But I'm definitely cucking him for hotboi heartthrob Wayne, I mean, is there any other option?"
"Of course!" Aquaman is quick to interject, looking almost offended. "Wayne deserves better than being a mistress. He's kind, he's a family man, he donates so much to charity and does so much to help his city... I'd Marry him before any other!"
Bruce can't have heard that right. His brain is stalling in a way it hasn't since... well, maybe the last time one of his kids got into serious trouble. Probably not since Jason crashed the batmobile and broke an arm.
Why are they so sure about this? He's pretty sure he never played a game of FMK that had answers given with such little hesitation. Aren't they supposed to be embarrassed? At least a little bit?
He sure is, and he hasn't even gone yet. He's just glad that his cowl covers most of his face, because he's sure he looks more than a little red-cheeked and dumbstruck right now.
Definitely not what he was expecting.
Superman sighs, shaking his head. "This again?"
Oh good, a voice of reason.
"You two argue over this every time," the kryptonian continues. "We get it, everyone here is horny for Bruce Wayne."
Nevermind.
"Yeah, but we don't know Batman's opinion on his resident billionaire yet," Flash argues, "it's a rite of passage, I gotta know."
It takes a second before Bruce realizes that the speedster is looking at him expectantly. He blinks, rushes to collect himself, and speaks in an admirably even tone. "I gotta think about it."
"Aw, alright," Flash pouts, sitting back down. "You can go last then. Since you're new and all."
This time, Bruce does roll his eyes.
He's tempted to just pretend he got a message and needs to leave so he doesn't have to hear all this, but he knows Superman will call him out on it. And, well.
He is a little morbidly curious.
So he stays, and listens.
Bruce is fully aware that he's a celebrity, and that he's featured regularly in magazines. He knows he's attractive, and he knows that many people speculate about whether he'll find a partner soon, as a wealthy, handsome, very eligible bachelor.
However, it's an entirely different thing to know all that, and then to hear his fellow Justice League Members casually discuss exactly how much they want a piece of his ass.
He learns that Clark wants to fuck him to Kansas and back (and wants to kill bozos and Marry Lex, because he "can fix him", or so he says.)
Aquaman wants to marry him and make love to him in ways Bruce hadn't even conceived of before. (He chose to kill Lex and fuck Bezos, and didn't give even a tenth of the explanationfor either that he gave for his choice to marry Bruce.)
Flash waxes more poetic about Bruce's ass, regularly interrupting others and being tolerated for it because apparently most of the grouo agrees.
Diana chooses to marry him, fuck Lex, and kill Bezos. She doesn't elaborate, thankfully.
Lantern is in full agreement with Flash, which is perhaps the only time Bruce has ever witnessed them go back and forth on something without bickering the whole while.
Martian Manhunter, like Diana, doesn't seem inclined to elaborate as he says he would Fuck Wayne, Marry Bezos, and Kill Lex.
This continues for far longer than Bruce is really comfortable with before it gets back around to his turn. Yet, he's just about glued to his seat, unable to tear himself away from such a surreal experience.
When Superman finally turns back to him expectantly, after everyone else has said their piece, he still isn't quite sure what to do.
"Alright, Batman. Your turn, you've had plenty of time to think."
He almost laughs.
After a long moment of hesitation, he decides... fuck it. He knows everyone else's secret identities. It's only fair.
And really, he can't think of a better time for it than right now.
"I guess I'd Fuck Lex, Marry Bezos, and then Kill myself."
Flash groans. "That's not how the game works, Bats."
This time, he does let out a small, hysterical snort. "I'm pretty sure it is," he disagrees, then pulls his mask back and off his head.
At least one person screams, and it vaguely sounds like "Nofuckingway!"
Someone else just faints on the spot.
Superman just lets out a quiet "Oh no."
Aquaman's face has turned a shade of red that Bruce didn't know he was capable of.
He's sure his own face isn't really any better.
He coughs. "Anyways," he stands, pulling his cowl back up. "Maybe I should leave these games to the rest of you. I'm going to pretend I didn't hear any of this. Now, goodnight, I have to go make sure my kids eat something."
Then he turns, leaves, and doesn't look back.
---
Later that evening he enters his estate and is immediately greeted by Dick, apparently visiting from his own apartment. His first adoptive son is usually unannounced nowadays, but always welcome.
He must instantly sense that Bruce's mood is off, because he skips right past asking how his mission went.
"What happened?"
Bruce debates the merits of answering honestly. He doesn't really like hiding things from his family, but also he hasn't quite sorted out how to feel about this, and it's not his kids' job to play therapist for him.
Still, Dick doesn't like to be treated like a kid, so Bruce opts to give him a truthful, if vague answer. "I think I might need to have the Justice League take Sexual Harrasment training."
The younger vigilante's eyes go wide. "What? But they're heroes? I've only ever seen them be respectful to Wonder Woman and Canary. Starfire's never said anything to me either, and I know she's worked with a bunch of them."
Bruce shakes his head, "do you really want to know, Dick? Or do you want to go have dinner in peace?"
"I have to know, now."
"I warned you," he sighs. "They were playing Fuck Marry Kill. With Lex, Bezos, and Me. Or well, Bruce Wayne. Not one of them chose to kill me, and they went into... more detail than I'm comfortable with telling you about."
There's a beat of silence.
Then, Dick starts laughing. Hard.
Bruce scowls, waiting it out.
"... are you done?"
"Oh come on, you expect me to find out that the whole Justice League wants to fuck or Marry you and I'm not supposed to think it's hilarious?"
"It wasn't that funny," Bruce sighs, but can't help a smile tugging at his lips. It is pretty ridiculous, in hindsight.
Dick just snorts again. "You don't think anything funny, Bruce." He pauses, "but I mean, if you're really upset about it, I'll cut it out."
Bruce shakes his head. "I don't think I am. Just thrown off. I wasn't expecting any of that, but they couldn't have known my identity." He pauses. "I'm mostly wondering if I made a mistake by telling them."
"You *told* them?!"
"In hindsight, maybe it wasn't my most well-thought out decision. But," Bruce lets a smile creep onto his face, "you should have seen the looks on their faces."
"I'll bet," Dick whistles. "So can I tell Starfire who I am now?"
"That's up to you," Bruce starts to answer, then stops talking as he hears the telltale whoosh of Superman's flight as the kryptonian sails out of the sky and lands by them.
Wonderful. Superman paying Bruce Wayne a visit definitely isn't going to cause him a media headache later.
"Batm-- uh, Bruce. Mr Wayne?" The superhero greets him, obviously still wrong-footed from earlier.
"Just Bruce is fine," he answers evenly.
"I'm Dick," his adopted son/mentee greets cheerfully. "What should I call you? Supes? Or are you aiming for step-dad?"
The way Clark's face turns beet red and he rubs the back of his neck instantly makes Bruce glad he told Dick. What other kid isn't afraid to make fun of the man of steel?
"Uh." Superman stumbles a little over his words. "Actually, I came to apologize about that. I hope you know we didn't have any idea, but that doesn't excuse it anyways. I can't imagine how uncomfortable we made you, Bruce, and I'm sorry."
His sincerity is easily believable, and Bruce wasn't really mad at him to begin with. "Apology unnecessary, but accepted," he starts. "I'm a celebrity, it comes with the territory. Believe me when I say I've seen worse published about me. You're fine, let's just forget it happened."
Clark looks abundantly relieved. "Oh, good. Yeah, you got it. But, just, if there's anything you need, give me a holler, okay? I can be here in a snap."
And then he's gone, as quick as he came.
Bruce has no idea whether the offer of help is out of guilt or his crush, but either way he makes a mental note that Superman is keeping an ear out for him. It'll probably be useful to call in a favor sooner or later.
"Does he know you're Bi?" Dick asks as soon as Superman can no longer be seen on the horizon. "He's way into you."
Bruce shakes his head. "That's enough, Dick. It's time for dinner, I'm starving."
The younger vigilante snickers, but doesn't argue any further as they head into the mansion to join the rest of their family.
All in all, not a terrible day for the Batfam and the Justice League.

zatanna said the word anchor point, and that's where she lost dick. anchor points and multiversal constants and universal stability. galaxies shattering into pieces behind his eyelids before swirling together tighter and more whole, before dick would inevitably wake, the lights from that goddamn recurring dream still flashing in his mind.
constantine was looking at him with sympathy, pity. dick wanted to wipe that look off his face with bleach. with acid. he normally wouldn't consider fighting john constantine, since he's always been able to sense the sheer power bubbling under the man's drunken and sloppy exterior. though, apparently, that ability to sense was what could possibly give him the edge in the fight he was imagining, but would never happen.
there were only a few people in the room, but someone would rip him off the man. maybe clark, whose features were painted with worry and concern. that, and the lights from the galaxies outside the watchtower windows, the eternity of the galaxy covering the entire room in a gentle wash that dick had been able to ignore for all of his life, excluding the past couple of hours. maybe diana, who was starting to look at dick with a bit of fear. not of him, but for him, and for everybody else. dick couldn't blame her. she had more than enough experience with powerful men who made themselves god. the only difference was that dick would rather let himself burn up from the flame that was inside of him before becoming whatever they said he was.
it's not about becoming, raven whispered in his mind. her presence was gentle, familiar. it took a certain length of self control for dick not to latch onto her, about the length of rope needed to make a noose. you already are. there are no new powers or abilities or anything that will happen to you. you always were a nexus being, and you always will be. it's just a part of you.
"just a part of him." just a part of him? like how wally's slowly failing heart had just been a part of him? or how jason's pit-induced fits of rage were just a part of him? or how cass' assassin training she fell back on no matter how hard she tried to override it was just a part of her?
bruce hadn't said anything. actually, zatanna had stopped talking, not that dick had been fully listening in the first place, and everyone was lost in their own quiet thoughts. but bruce's silence had been the most stomach-churning, the most horrific.
dick knew bruce didn't like metas. knew it because of the sighs he used to make due to the league's foolishness back when dick was robin, running a hand through dick's ruffled hair and telling him he was so glad you're not like them, dick, they're exhausting. he knew it because of bruce's fury every time someone powerful fought in gotham and destroyed the city, rubble on the ground as they went off, completely unconcerned of the damage they left behind. he knew it because of the extensive files in the batcomputer detailing each league-affiliated and known meta's weakness, or how their strength could be flipped like a playing card, until dick was almost convinced being a meta made one weaker. (according to bruce, it did.)
bruce didn't like metas. and dick wasn't a meta, but no one knew what he was anyway. no one but the magic users, whose vague explanations told them they weren't really sure what he was either.
"you're connected to the universe, dick," zatanna sighed. "the multiverse comes together in you. and as much as i don't like it, we need you."
all eyes were on him. dick was looking at his feet, but he could still feel them. that was one of his new "powers," right? knowledge of the multiverse? a gross misuse and bitter accusation, dick knew. but he couldn't get the fear out of his mind, and fear left unchecked grew fuzzy with mold until it disintegrated into anger.
"you need me?" dick said hoarsely. "the multiverse, what, comes together in me? you do realize what utter bullshit that sounds like?"
"i know it don't seem all that good, but trust me," constantine said. "it's a thing. it's real. you are one."
"you said these people are supposed to be beings of power," dick argued back. "so why aren't you a nexus being? or raven? or fucking ra's al ghul. i'm sure as hell not a being of power. i'm human."
"i suppose that's exactly what makes you one," diana murmured. "i have met many powerful men in my life. i've found the ones that i respected the most were the ones that were most in touch with their humanity."
this was crazy. this was crazy. dick felt like the particles that came together to make him were blowing away in confusion until he was one big cloud of unrecognizable light, before he was scattered in every direction. how the hell was he supposed to be one of the things that kept the universe together when he couldn't even keep his own damn self together?
avoiding bruce wasn't working. dick just felt like he was about to fray at the edges. so, gathering up his courage, dick turned to face the man and quietly, in a voice more delicate than china, said, "b?"
batman didn't look at him. batman didn't even look up. but batman did speak.
"alternate universe superman. he called you the multiversal constant. the one thing he could depend on."
out of the corner of his eye, dick could see clark nodding a little.
bruce continued. "you named yourself after a mythological figure who was known as the catalyst of change. or the great rebuilder. and kryptonians we've met have said how well you embody the role."
"it's...it's just a name, bruce."
"you, of all people, know it's not," clark said.
"so what am i supposed to do, huh?" dick whirled around. "fight this battle zee's recruiting me for that's entirely above my skill level. become some sort of, what did you say, universal anchor? i don't know the first thing about this shit, and i don't know what it'll do to me!"
"you're scared," bruce said, always willing to cut right to the chase with everyone but himself.
dick didn't answer.
"raven, establish a mental link between me and nightwing."
raven nodded, then with a flutter of her hands, dick felt a presence inside his head. it scared him to realize how easily he accepted it, how easily he had always accepted it. he never understood how unusual that was until now.
of course i'm scared, dick whispered into the mind link. i've gone my entire life knowing exactly who i was, what i could do, what i strive to be. and in the span of one day, that's all gone.
then what do you plan to do about it? bruce asked.
he said it so simply, so easily. like discovering something this monumental about himself was just another tricky case or difficult puzzle to solve. dick would have an easier time plucking each and every star in the galaxy and making a mosiac out of them.
raven's hood was lowered, but dick could still feel her eyes on him. constantine's features were still dripping in pity, zee looked imploring. diana was looking at him with hesitating acceptance, bruce was unreadable as always.
but clark. clark was looking at him with steady eyes and and a kind smile. he looked knowing, quietly vindicated. it was as if he'd known there was something...off about dick. something two hopscotches and a backbend away from "special," but close enough. something that had led to clark giving dick a piece of his people's legacy, and trusting him to fulfill it to the best of his ability.
clark wasn't scared of him at all. but clark couldn't make up for bruce.
"will you help?" zatanna asked.
everything inside dick was itching to say yes. jumping at the chance to help his friends, aching to be useful. it was a response he'd carefully cultivated years ago, and pushing it down was an almost physical ache.
but the stardust behind his eyes wasn't so easily forgotten. the hook behind his navel that seemed to drag him into the fabric of a universe that dick couldn't comprehend still dug into him. the world was spinning and the stars were turning and the earth was tumbling over itself, all of them in an effort to stop their twisting and turning and to right themselves once and for all. but dick wasn't moving. dick was completely, utterly still.
"i don't know," he said.
Dick Grayson Anniversary Week ‘21, Day 6: Universal Constant
"i don't know," the author says, because she truly has no idea what the fuck she just wrote. i started imagining nexus dick grayson and this just spilled out onto the page. it makes absolutely no sense, but there are some nice sentences in there that i don't want to get rid of, so hopefully yall can somewhat make sense of this ramen soup of a fic.

I Hate You
Part 1: You’re not just my Friend
#2: I hate you from @zambie-trashart Prompt List
Next
DC Supersons x Miraculous
~~~~~~~~~~
Dick wasn’t sure what was going on, but it probably wasn’t good. After Tim and Damian came back from the Kent’s Damian has been in a worse mood than usual and Tim had a grin that reminded him of the Cheshire cat. That could not be good. Surprise is putting it mildly when Tim finally spoke about it the next morning.
“Did you know Jon has a cousin from Paris?” Tim asked and his grin was plastered on his face and it was starting to become unsettling. Hearing this Damian started to scowl harder into his plate, how is that possible.
“No. Why? ” Dick was almost to scared to ask, and he really should not have asked.
“Well apparently they always try to fool and prank Connor and well the two ‘twins’ got me and the Demon Spawn over there”
“What do you mean with ‘twins’ and ‘got you two’” it was Jason who spoke up this time.
“The two of them swapped places and I thought Jon’s cousin was him and he her” Damian practically growled.
Jason burst out laughing “Your serious two kids fooled the Demon Spawn and the genius!" Jason all but fell out of his seat from laughing. "Oh that is absolute gold”
Dick couldn’t help but smile and agree with the second eldest.
———
That was when Bruce entered the dining room.
"Do I want to know" he asked with a tired sigh sitting down. Damian was seated glaring at Jason, who was laughed hysterically, Tim wore a cheshire grin but his face had an embarrassed blush, while Dick seemed the most composed you can tell he is close to laughing as well.
"So you know how Tim and Damian went over to the Kent's yesterday" Dick began.
"Yes what of it" Bruce replied.
"Apparently Jon has a cousin who looks and acts like him"
"I still don’t get why this is relevant Dick"
"So these two thought Jon was his cousin and that she was him" This time Jason did fall out of his seat.
"Why don't we invite them over" Bruce grinned this is something I want to see.
———
Dick and Jason could not take it. Both of them were literal rays of sunshine. They tended to answer questions for themselves and one another. Making it hard to figure out who was who.
One of them was in a light grey jacket with a blush shirt, light washed jeans and white sneakers. The other was in a red shirt with a black and white open flannel shirt over it, blue jeans and red sneakers. Both of them were wearing a baseball cap to hide the length of their hair.
Because both sides were a part at this game kept everyone on their toes.
They tried to swap their phones but didn't work. She and Jon set them identically however they pointed toaster that there was a minute difference in the screen saver.
After two hours Damian seemed to be done. So everyone placed their or votes on who was Jon.
The four siblings all pointed at her thinking she was her cousin.
"Nope" she smiled. The three older boys began to laugh while Damian was beginning to fume.
"If you guys thought we were tricking you with our clothes you were wrong" Jon explained.
"You two figured it out huh" Mari looked to Bruce and Alfred.
"It was slight but Miss Marinette is more graceful, dance perhaps?" Alfred responded but also asked.
"Ballet" she smiled.
"Also it is hardly noticeable but Jon's eyes are a bit more electric where Marinette's are more bluebell." Bruce stated.
"Looks, like four people can now tell as apart Mars" Jon smiled.
Damian huffed and stalked back into the manor.
She was going to go after him when she was held back.
"He's just mad you two got him again" Jason spoke between laughs.
"Give him time" Dick reassured, she nodded her head.
———
About half an hour later Alfred said Lunch would be soon, and since Damian was still gone, she went to look for him.
She found him in a gym going through forms with a sword.
"Lunch will be soon" he stopped and watched her.
"Why act like Kent?"
"Huh."
"Why act and attempt to be someone else?"
"I'm not trying to be anyone. Jon is my cousin and we are alike. If we like to play pranks together it doesn't mean we are trying to be another person."
"Tt. How am I supposed to believe you. If you are Kent's cousin, I hardly know you. If you are Kent, then you are deceiving me. So why should I trust what you say?"
"Do or don't but I'm not lying."
"Tt. We'll see." faster than Mari could process Damian charged at her sword still in hand. Her legs wouldn't move but she still had enough sense to guard her head with her arms. Unfortunately the tip of the sword still got her. A cold sting ran about a centimeter above her left eyebrow, cut through it to almost four centimeters past her eye. Then she felt a burning sensation the longer the wound is exposed to air.
"Tt. so you are Kent's cousin"
"If by that you mean not Kryptonian yeah" she turned on her heel and walked out looking for a bathroom. Her breathing coming in shaky gasps. She had taken off her jacket and was using it to stop the blood while applying pressure.
———
She isn’t kryptonian, but she didn’t run. Why didn’t she try to leave not just attempt to block.
Damian went to the dining room for lunch. Kent’s cousin wasn’t there but everyone else was. He simply sat down and began to eat.
“Hey Damian do you know where Mars is?”
“Tt. Why would I know where she is?”
———
That was when Marinette walked into the dining room. Her jacket was folded and she was holding it and her hair was now parted to the right and not the left as it was earlier.
“What happened?” Jon’s voice was steely the opposite of his usual cheeriness.
“Please drop it” Marinette spoke steadily, but her eyes were pleading with her cousin.
“You never told us that your cousin was human” Damian spoke almost bored still eating.
“Because it wasn’t relevant” Mari bit out. Now all attention was on her and in a house full of detectives she was not going to get out of this.
Jon flew over to her and was examining her. That was when he noticed the cut on her brow. “Mari”
“It’s not as bad as you think” but he didn’t listen he grabbed the jacket she had set down and unfolded it. That was when the entire family saw the blood stains on the light grey fabric.
“Miss Marinette, may I” Alfred now came up to her and began to check her as well. “It needs to be closed. Unfortunately it will scar.”
“Now we will be able to tell them apart” Damian deemed it appropriate to speak.
“I hate you.” Mari glared at the green eyed boy “I hope your proud of yourself.”
“Tt. I don’t see the problem.”
“Of course you don’t”
“Damian care to explain.” Bruce demanded.
“It seems self explanatory”
“He attacked me”
“You attacked Pixie” Jason seemed to take offense on her behalf.
“Why aren’t you more upset or in pain that looks bad” Dick went into mother hen mode.
“Because there is no use dwelling on it. And thinking about it makes it hurt more”
“Still Mars it’s bad, you really shouldn’t need to hide this” Jon was starting to become overprotective.
“I’m a klutz I’ve had worse. Besides I’m just tired at this point.”
“But” Jon was going to argue further but she didn’t want to hear it.
“Hey look at it this was Conner will finally be able to tell us apart.” Jon pursed his lips and so did everyone else in the room. Mari gave a smile as to lighten the mood but was unsure if she succeeded. Well there is no point in dwelling on it now.

Ooh can I get a Steve Rogers x female Kryptonian reader? Like he’s scared to ask her out and stuff so he’s tries to asks the team for help but she ends up asking him first and telling he she was scared because she’s an alien and stuff. Sorry it’s long. Thanks ❤️
A/n: Omg this is so cute! I love the idea of Marvel interacting with this type of character! @rlly
I’ m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home: Steve Rogers x Kryptonian!reader
A/n: this fic will use she/her pronouns! As always requests for different pronouns in a new fic are welcome!
Being an alien was hard. Let me tell you, now it was helpful that I looked human, but once I started helping the avengers there were some not so nice messages about me.
Apparently people don’t like the idea that someone is different from them.
It was hard not having anyone who could relate to what I’d been through. I was the only Kryptonian to survive my planet exploding.
The superpowers were cool, but it was hard to watch TV and see all these people to tell me to go back to where I came from.
This was my home, I was raised here, and I don’t have a home to go back to. Those words only reminded me further.
Now, being offered a spot on the Avengers was surprising, but apparently they liked me.
I told them, on a trial basis, I would join the team. So far, it was amazing. I got a room, with a projected window view of Krypton.
There were places to train, and I got to go on missions I couldn’t have known about otherwise.
The only problem was Captain Rogers, who seemed to not want to know me at all. He avoided all personal interactions with me which was hurtful since I had a painfully obvious crush on him.
I mean, have you seen him? It’s hard not to want to kiss him.
I don’t think he hated me, but he certainly didn’t plan on becoming friends, which was disappointing.
Tonight Tony Stark had a mandatory attendance party, so I decided I’d make him be friends with me.
I showed up to the party in a outfit of mine, it wasn’t too formal or too casual:
Normal: white t-shirt with black leather jacket, black high-waisted semi formal shorts, with knee high black boots.
Modest: a small white button down, and a leather jacket. Dark black pants, and ankle height black boots.
With head covering: black head covering, with subtle matte pattern to match leather.
Once I had arrived, I searched around for Maria and Wanda whom I had become close friends with in my short time here.
“Hey, y/n!” Maria waved, “you look great! I love the outfit!”
“Thank you!” I beamed at the compliment, “I’m exited to get to know the team!”
“They’re all exited to meet you too, they’ve been asking us questions about you, but we haven’t said anything.
“Hey!” Natasha said, joining us.
“Hello, Natasha right?” I said sticking my hand out, like my adopted parents taught me.
“Yeah, but you can call me nat!” She said with a smile, “I would love to introduce you to a couple people, is your interested?”
“I’d love that!” I said looking over to Maria and Wanda, “I’ll be back I promise!”
“Have fun, y/n.” Wanda said
Natasha showed me around the party pointing out several people, eventually we got to our teammates.
“Y/n,” nat said glancing at me, “this is Clint and Bruce!”
“It’s so nice to meet you!” I said smiling.
“It’s so nice to be properly introduced,” Bruce said, “I’ve been wanting to talk to you about Krypton and your powers.”
“I’d love that!” I said, “we could meet up at the lab sometime, yeah?”
“I’d love to!” He said
“Hi I’m Clint.” Clint said.
“Nice to meet you, I’m y/n.”
“Lovely to meet you formally, I’m stoked to think you might join the team!”
“Thank you,” I said blushing, “it’s an honor to be considered.”
“You guys can all talk later, I have to introduce her to some people.” Nay said grabbing my arm
“Nice talking to you.” I said sheepishly before I was dragged away.
Nat introduced me to several other SHEILD agents, before finally getting to the last 2 avengers.
“Thor, Steve.” Nat said, “this is y/n.”
“Hello, it is an honor to meet you y/n l/n, the last daughter of krypton.” Thor said, addressing me with my official title.
“Please, just call me y/n. I hear your not of this earth either?”
“No, I am from Asgard.” He said smiling
“Asgard is so lovely!” I said happy to feel something somewhat familiar.
“Roger, you did not mention she was intelligent as well!” Thor said laughing.
Steve looked wide eyed for a moment, before dismissing it. I blushed, but not noticeably.
“Hi, I’m y/n!” I said going to shake his hand.
“Steve.” He said shaking my hand.
“Hi Steve.” I said lightly, “it’s really nice to get to meet everyone!”
He nodded briefly. Maybe he didn’t like me. Oh… what if it’s because I’m an alien?
That thought probably hurt more any anything else. I couldn’t control that, it was part of who I am. It seems that’s the part he doesn’t like.
“Well,” I said, “sorry to bug you.”
I quickly left and walked back over to Wanda and Maria. I was fairly quiet, while they continued to converse.
All I could think about was why Steve didn’t like me. Was it really because I was an alien? It just didn’t seem fair. He didn’t even give me a chance.
The party was dying down, and I continued To listen to Maria and Wanda, until Maria had to leave. Now there was only Wanda, Thor, Steve and I.
Thor said goodbye to me before leaving to return to Asgard. Wanda noticed me glancing at Steve.
“I’m gonna go,” she said, “I’ll be in my room if you need me. Talk to him.”
I nodded, still timid to actually speak to him. We looked over to me, then looked away when he made eye contact.
“Steve.” I said standing up.
“Yes?” He asked, semi-surprised
“Can you be honest with me?” I asked, “what is your problem with me?”
“Huh?”
“You won’t speak to me until it’s work related, you don’t make eye contact. You refuse to hold any type of conversation. It’s like you hate me! I don’t get it!”
“I don’t hate you..” he said, looking guilty,
“Then what’s your problem? I have a stupid crush on you and you don’t even want to be friends!” I covered my mouth, oh shit.
“What?”
“Nothing, never mind.”
“You have a crush on me?”
“What? No.” I said, trying to laugh it off. “well I’m gonna go!”
“No, wait!” He said grabbing my hand
“Look, Steve, there is no need to pity me. I can take a hint.”
“I like you too, I just didn’t want to get to close and make it harder for me not to admit how much I like you.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah.”
“I thought you didn’t like me cause I was an alien.” I said quietly
“What! Of course not! I think that’s awesome!”
“Really?”
“Yeah!”
“Well, this might not be appropriate, but do you wanna go on a date sometime?”
“I’d love to.” He said, taking my hand.

Superman : Heroes #1 ... Diana and Bruce
In “Superman(2018) #18″ Superman revealed to the World that his name was “Clark Kent” and the comic book “Superman:Heroes #1″ presents the immediate aftermaths.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Rebirth Superman(2018) #18 and Superman:Heroes #1)
This Issue had a unique and delightful little story with Diana and Bruce, 0% Action, only talking,.. a dance between two people caring for each other ... It revealed a bit of the real man behind the “Bat” and the “Playboy”. I loved Diana’s wisdom in this, especially when she compared Bruce to Clark.
As a first result, not every one in the Justice league looked happy about that “Scoop”..
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Rebirth Superman(2018)  #18)
Batman’s POV about secrecy shouldn’t be a surprise, ... but Diana’s behavior seemed rather unsettling... First I thought she was still angry after her speech about the loss of trust during their last exchange in DC Comics “Batman/Superman (2019) #6.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Batman/Superman (2019) #6)
Her whole speech was about the morality of keeping secrets ... Diana’s speech may have encouraged Clark to go Public with his Identity ... but after he’d done it her comment shows she didn’t seem so sure about that part ... Why would she be unsatisfied if Clark just followed her theory about secrecy ?
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Rebirth Superman(2018) #18)
Revealing everything to the world wasn’t what she meant ... She’s a diplomat, she understands that there is an “in between”,  a compromise to make ... not all truths can be thrown around without care... Diana was making them a lecture about “keeping secrets” earlier, Yes, but... it was mostly about “keeping secrets from each other” ... so this new “secret” Clark had kept again from them was actually what she was complaining about previously and had to hurt both, Diana and Bruce,... once again one of them took a secret decision without sharing it with the others. Leaving them to face the consequences once everything was done ... Bruce is so angry that he ironically tells Clark that the Kents are completely “off the grid” (something he surely invested some hard work and a lot of time to achieve) because Clark just busted all of his hard work in a second... Yeah, Clark, how should he feel about that ?... XD
Tumblr media
(edit from DC Comics Rebirth Justice League(2018) #47)
Finally Clark understands how much he hurt Bruce later and apologizes (see “Justice League(2018) #47″)... He may now have understood what Diana talked about earlier...
But lets get back to our subject “Superman : Heroes #1″
The stories of DC Comics “Superman : Heroes #1″ have been written by Brian Michael Bendis, Matt Fraction and Greg Rucka.
Greg Rucka is one of the best writers of the pairing Wonder Woman/Batman (“Blackest Night : Wonder Woman”, “The Hiketeia”, “The Solstice”, ...) he has usually a great touch when it comes to tell in a more subtle way how much Diana and Bruce care for each other.
Tumblr media
(Edits from Some of Greg Rucka’s Work for DC comics)
 In the comic “Superman:Heroes”, Greg Rucka is behind these 8 Panels out of the 35 that the comic contains, pretty much one quarter of the whole book about Superman, and his story is only about Diana and Bruce ... already a message in itself ... and he did an amazing work again. Few words but so much was said (pretty much the opposite of what I am doing right now ! XD )
The Art is amazing as well.
It happens shortly after Superman’s meeting with the JL, and starts with Bruce standing alone in front of his Parents grave. Lost silently in his thoughts.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
Suddenly a well known voice breaks him out of his reverie. Diana is here. Bruce is Classy as always, while Diana wears more casual clothing ... I think Rucka chose on purpose to drop the uniforms for this exchange ... because the uniforms are not really “them”. This is not really about Batman and Wonder Woman but about the people behind those masks.
Tumblr media
.(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
She came to look after him. She could have gone anywhere, with anyone. She could have celebrated with Clark and the rest of the league this unique moment, this huge step Superman made... but she choose to go to a most lonely and sad place for one of her closest friends : Wayne Manor’s graveyard.... and she knew she would find him there... She knows his reaction was excessive ... there is something hurting him hard and she needs to know what...
“Thought I would find you here ... How are you doing ?” A useless question because Diana already knows the answer to her question ... otherwise she wouldn’t be there, she wouldn’t have come directly to the graves...
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
Bruce turns around and walks away ...then, in the distance, just says “Fine.”. Diana stands silently while he flees into loneliness again... Bruce knows she won’t go away after just a “Fine”, he knows the truth, she will dig further, so he retreats from the battlefield because she won’t leave him to his dark mood...
3 sentences, 11 Words, that's all you get for a full page with 5 great pictures...
All 8 panels of that story are really wonderful. They are made like a movie, using silences to show the depth, the seriousness of the subject, the loneliness, sadness and deep closeness of both characters. Pictures with perspectives, enhance the effect of their loneliness ... Diana and Bruce may be in their home world but it is as if they were both still with only each other in the plane of Gehenna ... Diana and Bruce ... all alone.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
Second panel ... Bruce stops somewhere facing in silence a magic sunset matching his current mood ... Diana follows until she stands next to him.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
Again he tells her he doesn’t want company ... “mhm”, she acknowledges ... the wind blows in her hair, she tries to fix it ... silence ...
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
The wind blows, she gives up, letting her hair flow around her face... A little chat ... Bruce turns around, fleeing the battlefield again ...
Third panel ... Hell ... a full page , 7 pictures, only two sentences, 8 little words...  pure magic from G. Rucka and the other artists.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
This time Diana is inside Wayne Manor ... looking at the giant painting of Bruce’s Parents... deep in thoughts ... wondering what exactly pushed Bruce to their graves after Superman’s revelation.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
Bruce is in the kitchen ... Diana enters as if she was at home and drops her jacket ... approaching the table, they exchange a look ... She takes a seat, her usual seat? then Diana waits for him to make his move ... She smiles ... She just owns the place ... Bruce isn’t surprised, he expected her, he waited for her, even made some tea in the meantime... did he flee earlier ? or did he just want to get them a comfortable place to be and talk ? ... He probably wouldn’t have made tea “for two” if he wanted to be left alone ... He knew she wouldn’t give up on him no matter how strong he would push her away, so there was no need to put more conviction in the game ... that’s what they learned in Gehenna ... they may both give up the fight for their mission, but they never ever give up on each other... Bruce knew he wouldn’t win that battle. Not with Diana, so he didn’t really try. Actually Bruce needed her and she came ...
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
And the only sentences exchanged between the two in the whole panel are so domestic ... “Tea ?” ... ”That would be lovely, Bruce.” ... That bright, sly, smile on Diana’s face reveals everything  ... she knows she was right and won their little fight ... he won’t push her away again, he doesn’t even want her away ... they are going to talk. But she needs to let him space ... Diana just has to let him lead the way now.
Is it even possible to make it more obvious how much they know each other, care for each other ... those two don’t even need J’onn J’ozz to communicate without speaking ... they only need an brief eye contact.
Fourth panel ... more silence ...
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
Bruce needs to collect his thoughts ... Diana sips her tea ...
Then he talks, but Diana plays dumb ... she wants him to express his problem, to name it... Diana is very smart here ... because she cannot really get a grip on what is hurting him so hard. She needs to get it out of him ... she knows the real problem is hidden deep under layers and layers ... and this isn’t really about Clark keeping a secret from him ... from them.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
Of course they talk about Superman revealing that he was “Clark Kent” and even if Diana plays dumb, she still says something very interesting here ... she calls him “KAL” while Bruce is upset because of “Clark” ... I think this way Diana tells him that Superman still didn’t tell the truth ... because “Clark Kent” is just another identity ... “KAL” is the kryptonian man who lives on earth under the disguise of “Clark Kent” and who is called “Superman” when he plays Superhero... just like Bruce is a human who lives a fake life as a Playboy and CEO when he is not playing Superhero and called “Batman” otherwise ... I think it is her way to say the Superman is still Lying even if it is to himself. Still she can give “Superman/Clark Kent” a name describing the real him “KAL”... while “Bruce” uses his own birthname for a partly faked persona ...
In “Superman : Villains #1″, Supergirl, still under the effect of the Batman Who Laughts Toxin tells pretty much the same as what I think Diana tries to convey here.
But Bruce is too upset to listen to her ... So he gives her a list of reasons why this is bad, partly accurate partly disputable ... so she counters him even if her own arguments is accurate/disputable as well ... nothing is simple ... but this isn’t about “Superman”, something Diana understood quickly ... if it was only about “Clark” or “Kal”, Bruce wouldn’t be this upset... How long have Diana and Bruce been married again ?... Yeah, Right,.. something like 37 years in Hell ...
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
Several millennia and all the Wisdom of Athena speaks thru Diana while she harbors that sly smile. Bruce gets silent again, Diana saw right thru him, maybe better than he did himself.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
Bruce flees again ... but does he really ? Since the beginning he doesn’t really push hard and Diana knows it ... You just get the feeling he wants her to follow him ... maybe he needs her to help him figure out why he really is that upset..
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
The Batcave ... it looks as if they were getting more and more deeper, more personal ... First the world outside, then inside his home, and now his most secret part... maybe another symbolic meaning ... to show how Diana is getting closer to the real hidden reason.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
By the look of Bruce’s sneer, you can tell he is angry, hateful even... but Diana never feels threatened in any way, she feels safe, even “Poking the Bear” a little as shown by her mischievous look... until it suddenly downs on her !! ...
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
Can we just relish in that view for a moment ? ... Perfect female body meets perfect male body .... Aargh !! ... can’t they just go down on it ! ... OK ! I need to get some self control back ... sorry !
What Diana sees... is Bruce staring at his suits, his disguises, his secrets, his ... enemy ? ... Batman ? ... now she can SEE what hurts him so hard !
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
Diana figured out the truth ! ... Bruce is first in denial, then thinking and accepting it ... Bruce goes from angry, to sad and beaten...
One part of the amazing points of this story is Diana’s statement when she compares “Bruce” and “Kal”.  Whoever thought Wonder Woman wouldn’t value the “powerless” Bat when compared to the “godlike” Superman is going to wake up with a serious headache ... For Diana, the only thing Clark can do, that Bruce can’t, is what we all do ... “live without a secret identity” ... anything else she considers Bruce does at least as good as Clark if not better ... BAM ! ... I honestly didn’t expect to read that in a comic about Superman ! ... And this coming from non other then Powerhouse number two Diana Prince, Wonder Woman, Princess of the Amazon, daughter of Zeus gifted with the Wisdom of Athena ... that was mind-blowing !!
But to be honest such appreciative comments from Diana, somewhere in between admiration and adoration, happen more and more often lately in different DC comics.
Tumblr media
(Edit from several DC Comics books)
I would say we’ve gone back when Diana considered Clark as “Good husband material” for Lois, while “Bruce” was “Fast, Dangerous, the thrill ride..” ... back then, even Clark understood who Diana’s heart would settled with...
Tumblr media
(Edit from several DC Comics Trinity(2008) #6 and Blackest Night:WW(2010) )
This was of course before the New52 nonsense hit the fan...
Tumblr media
 (Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
The other great point is that “Bruce” ... is jealous of “Kal” ... What !? how is that great ?
For the Dark Knight, admitting this kind of weakness to anyone is pretty much unthinkable ... unless it is to Diana. I think Bruce and Diana are now closer than Bruce and Clark ever were. But this jealousy is as well the proof that there is a man behind the Batman, behind the Playboy ... someone who doesn’t really like either of them, someone who dreams of family, home, of the freedom to live a normal happy life. The Princess of Themyscira is one of the only women (if not the only one) to have access to that man, the real “Bruce”.
Bruce is someone who can’t be reduced to “the Batman” as often said. He is a man, a Hero who decided to play that role, a man who made it his duty to fight crime and to protect those who can’t do it for themselves. Just like Diana did when she chose to become “Wonder Woman” and leave the paradise island of  Themyscira for Men’s world. He is jealous, and is ashamed of it, because he should grant it to his best friend Clark/Kal. It is his dream to have that kind life, a dream Diana shares as well ... but both have decided long ago that their Duties were more important and had to be done at any personal cost.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman:Heroes #1)
But there is another message in this Jealousy ...
Over the last 50 years, it had been explained several times that Bruce Wayne chooses his romantic partners with a purpose as described in the story with Bekka (in January 2008): Relationships must fail.
Tumblr media
(Edit from DC Comics Superman Batman(2003) #42 - story with Bekka)
If Bruce is Jealous about Clark’s “Home, Family” life this means he is now ready to a real longtime commitment with a woman. He wants that now. Over the years he matured (just like “Batfleck” in the DCEU). Keeping his distance with Diana because of their friendship all those years was only part of the excuse. He always chose his partners to fail ... and with Diana he knew a relationship would have a high risk of succeding. I think Diana was always more ready to start something with him at least judging by the way she smiled when she woke up from the “Transconciousness Articulator”, but she changed her mind once he told her he didn’t want to know what was “lurking in his mind” ... Back then Diana knew he wasn’t ready.
Bruce Wayne is ready now ... Is this what Tom King meant when he said he changed Batman for the Decade to come, that he put his “Mark” on Bruce Wayne ?  His Batman/Catwoman run proved one thing to the shareholders... the Batman fans are ready to have their Hero seriously committed to a Woman. In fact the love story didn’t drop the sales but supported them. Tom King showed Batman sells better as a “Man in love” then as a lone Wolf ...
Still a lot of fans understand that an untrustworthy and still active criminal like Selina can’t possibly be the best match for the crusader of Justice ... and while Diana seems still to adore him, after that little chat in the Cave and the 37 years in Gehenna, she should have understood by now that he is ready for something really serious ... So ... “Perhaps ....” hopefully in the near future ...

<- Previous part (12)
{Justice League - DC Masterlist}
×
Freedom
“Bruce! I'm back!” You yell as you push the door closed with your back, carrying the two bags from the supermarket. Alfred is driving the car to the garage. Today was the fourth time you went out all by yourself. Alfred has to drive since you still can't take your license, but you feel like you're doing well. He stays in the car while you buy the stuff you want, and it's actually good to be out there, with the people. “I met this sweet lady on the line and she was so cute. She told me about her grandson who's starting in the kinder garden this year.” You follow the sound of his voice coming from the living room, leaving the bags on the table at the main hall and making your way there. “She–”
The words get stuck on your throat when you see he's not alone. Amanda Waller and the other five people responsible for Belle Reve are here. You're frozen, busted because you don't know if they should know about all the freedom you're having. You look at Bruce, searching for any signs of what to do. His expression is calm, light, and he reaches out his hand. “Come here, sweetheart.” He says, and you take a few seconds to find your legs, making your way over him, taking his hand, noticing how yours are shaking.
“Is everything alright?” You whisper to him.
“I see Havoc is already allowed out. And apparently without your supervision.” One of the men speaks, his angry eyes on you. This one wants you back in your cell, being beaten up.
“She is. (Y/N) is adapting wonderfully well.” Bruce says. “This is not the first time she goes out without me, and there hasn't been any kind of incident.”
“I couldn't help but notice you engaged in a romantic relationship with her,” Amanda states, reading something on her tablet. “The rest of the world didn't recognize her, but we did. You've been seen with her in... Three different galas.”
“I'm well aware of the contract we both signed, Amanda. I made it. And a romantic relationship wasn't mentioned, which means it wasn't forbidden.” You hold tight on his arm as he speaks. “And yes, I've been to some parties with her, I believe you saw us on the news.”
“I don't need you to tell me about the contract, Bruce. I read it. And honestly, I couldn't care less about who you want to put in your bed.” She mumbles, typing something down. “Let's make it quick, Bruce. We're here for a reason, but Havoc isn't the only criminal we have to deal with.”
“Her name is (Y/N). And soon enough you won't have to deal with her anymore.” Bruce turns to you, placing a kiss on your lips. “I need you to wait upstairs, my love. You can't be present while we discuss this.”
Nodding, you give them one last look before walking away.
But you can't go to your room. You're too scared now. What if you lose what you have here? Your life with Bruce... If you're thrown back in Belle Reve... You can't handle it anymore, you'll die. Inside first, until your body gives up. So you move downstairs, a few steps so the wall is hiding you, sitting down and paying attention, trying to bring sense to their words.
“Mr. Wayne, eight months ago you took in one of Belle Reve's intern, (Y/N) Quinzel, also known as Havoc, to test a project of your creation. In which you tried to rehabilitate her, so that she could have a life out of her criminal actions, being able to be fully reintroduced into life in society.” The man speaks slow, and by the looks of it, they must be recording it. “Do you believe your project succeded?”
“Yes.” Bruce answers.
“Do you believe (Y/N) could be released to live among other people without causing any kind of harm, stealing, killing, torturing, or any other dangerous behavior?”
“Yes.”
“Are you aware that the condition for her release is you being completely responsible for her actions from now on?”
“Yes, I am.”
“It will be like a damn marriage, Wayne.” Someone says, and your heart stops. “Anything she does, she steals a freaking pencil, you'll have to answer for it. You'll be bound for life.”
“Good,” Bruce mumbles, and you hear some laughs.
“For goodness sake, Wayne. I get that you want to have fun with her. The girl is insane but pretty, I'm not blind. But–”
“I'm not having fun with her. And you will watch your tongue before talking about (Y/N) again.” A smile comes to your lips, and you cover your mouth with a hand. Every passing day you're more and more sure that Bruce is going serious with you. That he has a goal with your relationship, but it still warms your heart when he says something like that.
“Whatever you want, Bruce Wayne,” Amanda mutters. “I will need you to sign here. And your fingerprints.”
A silence falls, and everything you hear is your heartbeat. Bruce told you he was starting the last procedures to set you free once and for all, but you didn't think it would happen so fast. Guess he did had everything under control after all.
Your mind suddenly floats back to when you first got here, when you tried to run, when you attacked him so brutally. Back then, on the first days, you never thought you'd fall for him. And it took a while for you to even allow yourself to. Bruce, being Batman, the hero, could never have feelings for you. And it's true that the signs where there, when he touched you, or when he went to your room to dance with you, leaving the party behind... But you were so scared back then... That you'd have your heart broken for the very first time.
But it had a happy ending. An ending you know you don't deserve. You want to be with Bruce, you want the life you have now, to go to college next month, study and become a nurse. Find a job and... The rest you don't know. But you know it'll be good.
“Go get the girl. I need her fingerprints too.” Amanda speaks up.
You hear his footsteps as they grow closer. You stand up when you see him on the bottom of the stairs, waiting until he reaches you.
“Did you hear it?”
You nod, letting yourself fall into his embrace when he opens his arms. “I don't want to see any of them ever again.”
“You won't, I promise.”
“Bruce... A-are you sure you'll sign that thing? I heard what they said.”
“Hey...” He pulls away, just enough to look into your eyes. “I already signed and I don't regret it. This is the last step, (Y/N), don't let them get to your head.”
“Okay,” you mumble, tiptoeing to kiss him.
Bruce guides you back to the living room, and you try to keep your head up, fearless.
“Havoc. Put both your hands here.” Amanda says, her voice filled with anger and disgust. She doesn't want to release you, but she has no choice. Nodding, you place both hands on her tablet. You watch as the screen reads all your ten fingerprints, and your picture appears on the top. Then, a green X covers it, blinking, and then everything is gone. And now, with your hand still on it, the screen shows up a few dots, and the word ‘searching’. “It's done, Havoc. But don't you ever come back under my jurisdiction again... I won't give you any other chance. Even if another Kryptonian comes from the sky demanding for it.”
“(Y/N).” you simply say, stepping back until you're by Bruce's side.
“Of course.” She mutters. “Well, I believe this is it. Mr. Wayne, I believe we're done here.”
“You may now kiss the bride, Wayne.” A man says, and two others laugh with him. You sink a little, stepping back, letting Bruce's shoulder hide you.
“You won't get an invitation Mr. Rochford, but I'm sure you'll know about it on the news,” Bruce says and the men immediately shut up. “I must ask you to leave now. Our business is over. For good.”
“I wish you luck, Mr. Wayne.” Amanda Waller reaches out her hand and Bruce shakes it.
You stand there, watching them leave. It's ridiculous, but you feel like your chains are falling off. All the terror, the infinite days and neverending nights in that hell are over. You still don't like thinking about it, and remembering is painful, but you're glad that's what it is now: a memory. A distant, faded memory. Some scars will accompany you for the rest of your life, even though Bruce has you under some esthetic treatments to get rid of most of them. But you're ok with that, with the ones that will stick around. They'll be a different kind of badge now, a prove that you crawled out of that nightmare, and despite needing a little push, you did some of the work too.
“Why are you crying, my love?” Bruce asks when he comes back, but you haven't noticed the tears rolling down.
“It's nothing, I just... I'm happy. Truly, wholeheartedly happy, I...” He pulls you into his arms, holding you tight. “I love you so damn much, Bruce, but... I guess I love me too. Who I am now, who I want to become.”
“Whatever happens now, (Y/N), it's up to us. To you. You can make your own decisions, and I'll be here to support you.”
“I know, babe.” Pulling away, you jump up, wrapping your legs around his waist. “Life starts now, and... I want you in it.”
“Me too, sweetheart. That's why I had no trouble sighing that contract.” His eyes get darker, and you furrow your eyebrows.
“What is it, Bruce?” He's dead serious, bouncing you up to have a better grip.
“Marry me.”
Your heart stops, as the answer slides down your tongue. Enough with the nightmares. This life is way better than any dream you couldbever have.

In Your Father’s Eyes - fic
Characters: Damian Wayne, Jon Kent, Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne, Lois Lane, Alfred Pennyworth, little bit of Clark Kent and Tim Drake and literally everyone Pairing: jondami Summary: Of all the things and all the experiences they thought Jon and Damian would have, it certainly wasn’t this. But they’re all better for it anyway.  A/N: A commission for the lovely @heraldofsong! I hope you enjoy it. :) They asked for a bittersweety fluffy story about the Batfam’s reactions/reminiscing to Jon and Damian having a baby. I chose the middle name ‘Charlotte’ because according to the internet it meant ‘freedom’ or ‘free’ and I felt that described an adult Jon and Damian very well. Barry went with Lois downstairs in case Jon and Damian emerged while she was gone, he could rush her back up. Also, it goes without saying, the Flashes brought Steph, Cass and Kara back from the gift shop the same way. Jon is petrified of holding or even touching the baby sometimes. He eventually gets over that. Some vibes for this fic are ‘Mango Dream’ by Afternoon Bike Ride. 
~~
It was a quiet afternoon at the manor. The warm sun peeking through the curtains. Birds chirping outside. The contented crackle of flame in the fireplace as he and Alfred each sat in a recliner reading a book.
Then Tim called.
“Conner and I are on our way to the hospital. Just about there, actually.” He said urgently. “Damian and Jon were taken there by a group of Green Lanterns.”
“What happened?” Bruce demanded, jumping from his chair as quickly as his old bones would allow him. Alfred glanced up from his novel, closing it immediately.
“That’s the thing…I…I’m not sure.” Tim offered. “I’ve already talked to Damian. He said neither of them were really hurt at all. Just that he needs us there. All of us.”
That was enough for Bruce.
Tim said he’d already called the others, and was in the process of sending Bruce the hospital coordinates. As Bruce and Alfred gathered their coats and head to the car, Bruce’s phone pinged again with a text.
I think you might want to bring your credit card.
Bruce rolled his eyes at Tim’s instruction, but checked his wallet anyway.
The hospital wasn’t in Gotham, or Metropolis, but a smaller city in between. A medium-sized research hospital that the League used often. Out of the way, but staffed with the most skilled in the world, and able to keep a secret or two.
Bruce could already see the gaggle of Green Lanterns on the roof as they pulled in to the parking lot. But judging by their relaxed body language, just like Tim had said, there was no emergency.
So what…?
Lois and Barry were in the lobby waiting for them. She smirked when she saw them, crossing her arms.
“What’s happening?” Bruce demanded. “Are the boys alright?”
“Perfect.” Lois let her smirk become a wide grin. There was a giddy shriek from nearby, and Bruce glanced over. It came from the gift shop, where he could see Stephanie holding something up, showing a confused Cass and judgmental Kara. “We were just waiting here for you to take you to the right ward.”
“Well, I must say, judging by everyone’s attitude, I can’t imagine it’s the ICU.” Alfred quipped. Barry laughed and clapped a hand on his shoulder.
“Nope.” Lois spun away, all but skipping as she led the way. “Barry, you ready to catch him?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
She glanced over her shoulder. “We’re heading to the maternity ward.”
Bruce froze.
“…What?”
Barry was instantly at his shoulder, an arm hovering against his back.
“Ms. Lane…” Alfred said slowly. Laughter from the gift shop again, and now Bruce could see what Stephanie was showing the others – baby clothes.
“Wild, right?” She nodded, urging them both to follow. “But it’s true.”
“Apparently the boys were on a mission with a few of the Lanterns, on some planet.” Barry explained as he gently pushed them along. “This planet has way more advanced in vitro fertilization technology than on Earth. Than in the whole damn Milky Way. But apparently a major part of the fight was in a science lab. And I don’t know if it was from blood from injuries or sweat from exertion or what, but somehow both their DNA got into one of the machines, and literally hours later, a baby was being born.”
“An…alien child?” Alfred asked.
“You’d think that, but no. One-hundred percent Damian and Jon. So, only twenty-five percent alien, Kryptonian, from Jon’s side.” Barry hummed. “It wasn’t like their DNA was being added to an already incubating organism. Its creation came about because their DNA got combined.”
“At least,” Lois interrupted. “As far as we know. That’s why we’re here. They’re getting the baby checked out.”
Suddenly, Tim’s text made sense. “We have…nothing for a baby at the manor. Do…you and Clark have anything from when Jon was born?”
Lois’s grin softened. “Not enough to have everything they’ll need. But enough for the first day or so. Clothes-wise, anyway.”
“They’ll…they’ll have to come stay at the manor.” Bruce turned to Alfred, mind already in hyper drive. “Their…their apartment isn’t big enough. Right?”
“They live in a penthouse, sir, not an apartment.” Alfred smiled. “But I’m sure if you asked they wouldn’t mind coming home for a while. Especially with all the foot traffic of new aunts and uncles that they can surely expect.”
“You already know which room Clark and I are staying in, right, Alfred?” Lois teased.
“Of course, Ms. Lane.” Alfred chuckled. Barry suddenly dashed forward, holding the door open for the three of them. “I’m already devising the floor plans for everyone in my head as we speak.”
And even with the three women in the gift shop, the maternity ward was a madhouse of Supers, Bats and Leaguers alike. Tim was talking with Dinah and Ollie, showing them cribs and mobiles on his phone. Conner was talking with Diana, Donna and the two Wally Wests. Lois was already rejoining Clark, who was speaking with J’onn. Jason had already grabbed Alfred and was gently pulling him towards Koriand’r and Roy.
Barry was stepping up behind him. “Has Dick been…?”
Barry pointed, but it was useless, since Bruce had just spotted him. He was away from the crowds, further down the hall, staring into one of the closed doors, his arms folded across his chest.
Bruce nodded and gave Barry a short grin. Barry gently squeezed his shoulder before disappearing into their friends. Bruce inhaled and slowly walked forward. Everyone immediately gave him passing congratulations, and he smiled softly to each of them in return.
Dick didn’t look at him as he approached, kept just staring into the door. Bruce silently stood next to him, and glanced inside himself.
Damian and Jon stood there, next to a plastic crib. They were in matching teal scrubs that barely hid the few bandages they each had across their bodies. Nothing serious, like everyone had told him so far, but still enough that made his heart beat a little faster.
Jon’s wrist hung over the crib, and Bruce could see tiny fingers clinging to his middle one. His other hand was around Damian’s waist, rubbing calming circles against his hip. His head was up, nodding at whatever the doctor standing across from them and the crib was saying.
Damian, surprisingly, was opposite. His head was down, watching the child. His hand was cupping the baby’s head, stroking gently across its tuft of dark hair.
Bruce couldn’t see any other features on the baby. Its face was blocked by its fat belly and gleefully kicking feet. The hand not latched on to Jon’s waved every so often, where he could see a tube connected.
God, he couldn’t even see it and he adored this child already.
“Can you believe it?” Dick suddenly whispered. Bruce turned his head towards him, but kept his eyes on the door. He heard the baby give a loud squeal. Watched as Jon glanced down and grinned, shaking his captured finger. “Damian’s a dad.”
“So it appears.” Bruce smiled.
“He wasn’t one yesterday. There was no plan for him to be one, yesterday.” Dick continued, practically in awe. “This is…incredible.”
“The universe is an incredible place.” Bruce agreed. “…How long have you been here?”
“About an hour.” Dick admitted. “Damian called me when they hit Earth’s stratosphere.”
“Did you get to see the baby at all?” Bruce asked. In his periphery he saw Dick shake his head.
“They were already in there by the time I got here. Jon came out for a hot second to ask me to bring Lois to the ward when she arrived. But otherwise I haven’t talked to them.” Dick sighed. He shifted nervously from foot to foot. “…It’s almost laughable.”
“What is?”
“Damian’s the first of us to be a dad.” Dick smiled wistfully. “Mr. ‘I-Don’t-Need-Anybody’, Mr. ‘I’m-Not-A-Family-Person’, Mr. ‘Jonathan-and-I-Are-Too-Busy-To-Raise-Children’…and he’s the first of us to have a kid. A biological kid.”
“A biological child conceived and born in hours, from what I was told.” Bruce murmured. He chuckled. “Quite a…peculiar birth. Just like him.”
They lapsed into a silence then, as they continued to watch through the door. They could see both Damian and Jon conversing with the doctor, and suddenly, said doctor was lifting the baby from the crib, taking it out of view. The baby clung to Jon’s finger for as long as it could, even pulling a little as it was pulled away.
Almost immediately, Jon turned to Damian, and the two began to speak softly to each other. Damian’s face looked tired, nervous. Jon’s looked similar, but he smiled anyway, cupping Damian’s face in his hands. Damian clung to his wrists, closing his eyes as he leaned into one of the hands.
“…Do you remember when he was little?” Dick asked softly. “So tough and angry. I’d ruffle his hair and he’d try to cut my arm off.”
“He was a little…prickly.” Bruce smiled warmly. “Focused on nothing but Batman’s mission, and being the best. But you freed him from that viciousness.”
“I had help.” Dick laughed, watching as Jon leaned down and kissed Damian, before the two engulfed each other in an embrace. “Don’t sell yourself so short, old man.”
“Don’t sell yourself short either, Dick.” Bruce bumped his elbow into Dick’s side. “For as much as I loved him at the time anyway, much of his growth was because of you.”
“…Look at him, B.” Dick whispered after a moment. Bruce actually glanced at him now, and saw tears in his eyes. “Look how much he’s grown.”
Bruce put a hand on Dick’s shoulder, gave a squeeze as he glanced back towards the door. Damian was twenty-seven now, Jon twenty-four. Both tall and muscular, though Jon slightly more so, and both perfect mixtures of their parents. Each with their own lives, their own identities, creating their own legacies, their own destinies.
But right now all Bruce could see was the children they were. The friends forced together by their fathers, but almost instantly inseparable. The kids who were stronger than any man, and whose favorite game was to climb a life-sized replica of a tyrannosaurs rex that was nestled in a cave, and eat lunch in its mouth.
Damian said something and Jon laughed. Damian’s eyes lit up and his cheeks turned red as Jon kissed his forehead.
Bruce smiled too.
Friends from childhood. Lovers in adulthood.
And now, fathers.
Clark’s baby was a father. His baby was a father.
“I’m so proud of him.” Dick murmured, voice trembling in joy. “He’s just so happy, Bruce.”
Dick turned away, embarrassingly wiping at his eyes.
“God, don’t let him see me like this.” Dick laughed weakly. “It’ll ruin my chances of being the baby’s godfather.”
“It’s endearing.” Bruce promised, turning to look at him. “If nothing else, it’ll heighten your chances. Besides, you’ll still be its uncle no matter what.” A smirk. “And grandpa, depending on who you ask.”
“Oh god, Bruce no.” Dick laughed, wiping faster at his eyes. “I’m too young to be a grandpa.”
“How do you think I feel?” Bruce asked incredulously. “I just got told by Superman’s wife twenty minutes ago that I’m a grandfather!”
Dick looked over at him, eyes soft, the crinkles around his eyes more noticeable with his smile. “You’ll be a great one, Bruce. The very bes-”
There was the sound of a doorknob turning, a latch unhooking. Dick and Bruce both spun back around towards the door to the exam room to find it opening.
Suddenly, the whole hallway was silent, save for a light whooshing, electric noise. Clark was there instantly, Lois in his arms. Conner appeared with Tim, Jason was just finishing pushing his and Alfred’s way through the Justice Leaguers, and the Flashes were each dutifully helping Stephanie, Cassandra and Kara to their feet.
They all waited with baited breath.
It was Jon who was opening the door, and held it open for Damian to walk through. Damian, who had a swaddled bundle tight in his arms, stepped tentatively into the hallway. As soon as he was through the threshold, Jon was at his side, a protective arm around his back.
When Damian glanced up with his wide, shocked eyes – he looked at Bruce first. Then Clark, then Lois, then finally landed on Dick.
“I…” He croaked. Closed his mouth, cleared his throat. Let himself smile slightly as he returned his gaze to Bruce. “We…we have a daughter.”
He turned the baby outwards slightly. Her eyes were closed, but skin was the perfect mixture of Damian’s tan tones, and Jon’s pale colors. She had Jon’s wild curls, but very clearly Damian’s nose and eyebrows. There were immediately a few gasps and coos among the nearby Leaguers.
“Healthy?” Clark asked. “She checked out okay?”
“Completely perfect.” Jon exhaled in excitement. “Doc said she looks like every other baby he’s ever seen, all the way down to the DNA.”
“Anything about…powers?” Clark pushed.
“Dad.” Jon rolled his eyes. “She’s only a few hours old.”
“The doctor told us to monitor her as she grows, and go over your, Jon’s, Kara’s and even Conner’s personal histories.” Damian explained instead. “And if she does at any point present powers, it will likely follow the same timeline as the rest of you.”
Lois stepped forward, gently pressing her hand to the baby’s head. Like always, she asked the question everyone else was too nervous to.
“What’s her name?”
Jon and Damian glanced at each other, and Jon let out a light laugh.
“Martha.” Damian whispered, looking straight at Bruce, with a quick glance to Clark. “Martha Charlotte.”
“Hello Miss Martha Charlotte.” Lois cooed, leaning down to kiss the baby’s head. Martha just yawned, and curled back into Damian’s chest.
“Whose last name?” Dick asked gently, taking his turn to step forward. “Martha Charlotte Kent? Martha Charlotte Wayne? Hell, Martha Charlotte al Ghul?”
Damian smirked and Jon looked heavenward as he mumbled, “To be determined.”
Dick laughed as he looked between the two men. He let his laughter die out and asked, “You two nervous?”
“Is it that obvious?” Jon countered incredulously. “I mean…jeez, I’m still afraid to hold her!” He leaned into Damian’s back. “What if I…I don’t know, squish her, or something?”
“You won’t, Beloved. I promise.” Damian teased, leaning back to kiss at Jon’s cheek.
Dick smiled, and couldn’t help himself. He leaned forward and pressed his temple against Damian’s, looking down at Martha. She gave a contented sigh.
“I am so, so, so proud of you, Damian.” Dick whispered, squeezing Damian’s arm. Lois nodded in agreement as she ran a hand through Jon’s hair, before returning her attention to the baby. “”I am so proud of you both.”
Damian let himself smile, let himself exhale in what almost sounded like relief as he leaned into Dick. He stood there a moment, let Dick and Lois fawn over the baby, before glancing up again. Clark was watching with a bright smile, one almost too big for his face. Waiting excitedly for his own turn, but clearly quickly losing his patience.
Then he looked to Bruce. Bruce who had just been staring silently since they stepped into the hallway, eyes wide, lips parted. A faint, awed smile was etched gently into his face, and it made Damian’s own smile widen. He slowly stepped away from Jon, Lois and Dick and towards his father, angling towards Clark in the process to include him too. “…Father?”
Bruce looked up at his face, the adoration clear in his old blue eyes.
“…I have a daughter, Father.” Damian breathed, looking towards Martha. She smacked her lips sleepily, and Damian’s smile, impossibly, grew. Let himself smile wider than Bruce had ever seen. “And I just…she is already my whole world. I…I’ve never loved someone so quickly.”
“That’s what having a child does to you, son.” Clark smiled.
Damian’s grin faltered, just slightly. “I’m sure it was not this way when I arrived in your life.”
It was a self-depreciating joke, made to downplay Damian’s importance to every single person in this hallway. But Bruce didn’t take it. Bruce didn’t dare play into the darkness that still plagued his youngest’s mind.
“On the contrary.” Bruce hummed, taking hold of his elbow. “I might have loved you even quicker.”
Damian snorted and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he just kept looking at Martha, shifting his hand to run across her tiny cheek. His voice was barely a breath. “…I have a daughter.”
“And she looks like you.” Bruce noted, poking at Martha’s nose. She scrunched it up and shook her head. Damian laughed, and held her even closer. “…I’m so happy for you.”
Damian looked up then, almost in surprise.
“You’re going to be a great father.” Bruce whispered, squeezing Damian’s elbow. “The best of any of us.”
Damian turned back towards his husband just in time to see Dick grab Jon and wrap him in the biggest hug he could. As Dick released him, Jon glanced over at him. “…And he will be an even greater one.”
Jon, who of course heard the whole conversation with his powers, grinned sheepishly.
Damian giggled as Jon stepped towards him, and kissed his forehead, then leaned down to do the same to Martha. A moment later, he allowed himself a deep breath. “Well. You ready?”
Jon glanced over his shoulder, towards their waiting brothers and sisters, to the entirety of the Justice League waiting behind them. He exhaled sharply. “As I’ll ever be, today.”
Dick laughed as he and Lois helped pushed the new parents forward. As Clark stepped closer to Bruce and hugged him in quiet glee.
“Welcome to the family, Martha.” Dick grinned, gesturing out to everyone, before looking down at the sleeping newborn in Damian’s arms. Damian and Jon looked happily at each other. “We’re so happy you’re here.”

83 but with all the batfam + Mari fluff?
“If you want me, come and get me, motherfuckers.” 
Ah, thank you. A feel good prompt at last!
—————————————————————————————————-
Bruce blinked slowly, trying to gauge exactly what emotion he should be feeling at the moment.
Clark was standing behind him in awe and slight terror, waiting to see how the big Bat was going to respond.
Diana looked absolutely delighted by the goings on of Bruce’s children.
The entire hallway was covered in little foam darts with sticky cups attached to the tips. Pink, purple, black, gold, red, blue, green, and grey foam darts painted the normally dull colors of the manor. They were attached to the pictures, the walls, the banisters, basically anything solid.
Throw pillows were tossed in every direction. Blankets were held up haphazardly, as if they were a hastily made shelter. Books were also scattered across the floor, along with some creatively taped together foam darts that looked like…throwing stars? While it didn’t look like anything was broken or damaged, the lack of Alfred greatly concerned Bruce.
He was positive the butler wouldn’t let the children get away with this. Alfred had taken care of this house since he was a boy, and Bruce knew that the children couldn’t overtake Alfred. Each child had their own sense of respect for Alfred, occasionally listening to him instead of Bruce. If Alfred had ordered them to stop, they would have ceased immediately.
Alfred didn’t call Bruce to tell him he was leaving either, so the man knew his ‘father’ had to be inside the house.
“Clark, take the eastside. Diana, you take the west side. I’ll try and see if I can’t locate Alfred. Keep on your toes, the kids have most likely set up traps,” Bruce said quietly.
Both nodded, though Clark seemed more serious than Diana. The Amazon’s blue eyes were sparkling with excitement and mirth as she broke away from the group. Clark was hesitant to leave Bruce, but one glare from the man sent him on his way.
Clark may be virtually indestructible, however, he knew his best friend well. He also knew his best friend’s children well. He knew damn well he was walking into a literal warzone with some of the fastest and most intelligent non-metas to ever take up a cape. He was now a potential target, and he wasn’t dumb enough to underestimate the Bats…especially not on their home turf.
——————
As it turned out, Clark was very right to worry.
How did he know?
There were now fifteen darts stuck to his head.
The man of steel had been walking down one of the many corridors when he felt something strike the back of his head. He had pulled off a dart, which was grey in color. He tried listening around him to hear if there were any footsteps approaching him, but when he closed his eyes to focus, a barrage of darts came out of nowhere.
He began to run, only to be yanked into a passageway by someone.
That someone swearing fervently once they saw him.
“Motherfucker! The girls’ got Clark, Dick! And he obviously didn’t fuckin’ see Babs because he’s completely unarmed! He’s fuckin’ useless!”
Clark’s eyes widened as he looked to the dark haired man speaking.
“Jason? One, watch your language. Two, what in the name of Ma’s apple pie is going on here?” he demanded, looking at Bruce’s second eldest son.
Jason gave him a grin with teeth, essentially telling the Blue Boy Scout to go fuck himself. Another set of footsteps caused Clark’s attention to snap to the newcomer, who he recognized immediately. Dick was holding a finger to his mouth with an intense glare on his face.
“Shut. Up! Do you want the girls to find us? Or worse?” he hissed lowly.
Clark looked bewildered between the two brothers as they began to make obscene hand gestures towards one another in annoyance. He still had no idea what was going on and was about to go find Bruce until Damian appeared.
“Training exercise,” he whispered. “Girls against boys. To participate, you had to go see Barbara for the comm and dart gun with your specified color. Since you did not, this means that you are not on our team and will be considered a casualty point instead of full points. However, since the girls got you first, that means if we shoot you, we don’t get any points. So you’re safe from at least us.”
Clark felt a headache beginning as he rubbed his right temple. The things these kids thought up when they were bored! Clearly Bruce hadn’t known about this, considering his confusion upon entering the manor. Did Alfred know what the kids were do—
He gasped as another dart hit him. This time the dart hit the back of his neck. He ripped it off to see it was a grey foam dart once again. He held it in his hand, rubbing the back of his neck. Clark wondered which of the girls would have chosen grey—
“Fuck, we’ve gotta move!” a fourth voice came, slightly panicked. “He found us! Abort, abort!”
Who found them?
Who was he?
Clark watched as Tim haphazardly shoved things into a bag, turning it into a makeshift shield. Jason began to swear violently as Damian responded that they couldn’t move from their position. The girls were lying in wait for them just around the corner. If they fled, they’d all be shot. Dick seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, taking cover behind one of the statues in the room. He went to speak until Jason covered his hand.
“I’ll go.”
“Jay—”
“I said, I’ll go. Just get ready to run,” Jason said, alarmingly grim.
Wasn’t this just a game—?
Jason sprinted out of the room, hollering as loudly as he could, “IF YOU WANT ME, COME AND GET ME, MOTHERFUCKERS!”
Clark watched as a spray of darts followed Jason’s path as he attempted to reach cover. Dick, Tim, and Damian darted down the opposite way, leaving Clark behind. The Kryptonian just stood there, confused and still being pelted with little foam darts. It wasn’t until he heard a jubilant voice that he actually began to move.
“Clark! Why aren’t you getting in on the action?” Diana asked him, with her own dart gun in hand.
“Diana? What are you—”
“The girls were a player down and invited me to join their team! I think this will be a brilliant exercise in teamwork, strategy, and stealth!”
Of course Diana would think this was fun.
And of course, Diana also took this opportunity to shoot him with her own red and blue darts.
Clark then wondered if Bruce was getting it just as bad as he was.
———————
Bruce, while having not been shot yet, was not having much luck either.
He had seen his boys race past him, but the trio hadn’t paused for a second. All three had had foam darts of the pink, purple, black, blue and red, and grey variety sticking to them, some falling off as they ran. Considering the fact that none of his children had stopped their mischief upon seeing him, he figured that either they didn’t see him…or they saw him and did not care.
His daughters, as well as his hopefully future daughter-in-law, also darted past him without a care. The girls were mostly covered in grey darts, but there were some red, blue, gold, and green ones attached to them. Diana was also trailing after the girls, however, she only had grey darts on her body. They paid him no mind, giggling and laughing as they raced past him.
Bruce was now irritated, and he continued to search for Alfred. It appeared the only sane person in this goddamn house would have to restore order. His kids had even roped sweet little Marinette into their tomfoolery, and it was up to Bruce to stop them before they got her hurt. Though, Alfred was probably the only one who could stop them now.
He went to walk back into the foyer, not having found Alfred in the kitchen or living room, when he felt something hit him between the eyes.
The next thing Bruce noticed was that his children had all frozen, staring at him with wide eyes.
Jason looked delighted, a wide grin on his face. Dick and Tim were horrified, mouths agape. Damian was laughing, as was Stephanie. Marinette’s grey eyes were wide, and she’d covered her mouth with her hands. Cass’s shoulders silently shook with mirth, and Diana had a shit eating grin on her face.
Clark had just appeared next to him sighing, a grey dart on his forehead.
“Got you too, huh?” he said with a sigh. “Okay kids, which one of you decided nailing me and Bruce on the forehead would be fun?”
“Oh, it wasn’t one of them,” a sing-song voice came. “By the way, both teams lost.”
This brought forth arguments from the Bat-siblings as Marinette wiggled her way to the front. The dark haired Parisian walked over to the speaker… a red-headed woman in a wheelchair.
“Who won then, Ms. Barbara?” Marinette asked, ever polite.
“Please, Marinette, call me Babs,” Barbara said with a smile. “And our surprise sniper won of course! By taking out both Bruce and Clark, he clenched the final victory.”
Marinette’s grey eyes lit up, and she laughed loudly.
“Congratulations, Alfred! Looks like we’ll be making dinner tonight,” she said with a grin.
Alfred stepped out from behind his hiding spot, smiling at the lot.
“Yes, yes, you will be. I trust Master Dick and you will keep them in line?” he said, handing Barbara his dart gun.
“Oui, Alfred!” Marinette chirped. “What would you like for dinner?”
“Surprise me, Miss Marinette. I’m sure you’ll pick something wonderful,” he replied.
Bruce watched with wide eyes as Alfred instructed the children to clean up. The kids left without a fuss. Marinette and Dick left the room last, discussing what they would be making for dinner. Alfred walked over to both Bruce and Clark. He snatched both darts off of their foreheads before smiling and saying, “Welcome home, Master Bruce. Master Clark, it’s good to see you. Miss Diana will join you once she’s done helping the children clean up.”
Clark looked down at his best friend before sighing.
The Waynes and company were… certainly something else.

Star-Crossed Universe
A/N: Yes!!! I’M BACK!!! This project has been on the back burner for so long and its finally time to upload it on here. I’m not sure what you all will think but hey...it’s fan fiction and everything and anything goes.
Warnings: Language, Humor (bad and good jokes), Sexual Conversations, and an ultimate Team-Up.
Plot: When Y/N is thrown into a mission way out of her league, she, and magician best friend Zatanna must stop strong demonic forces from entering earth through an unknown portal that John Constantine may have opened. With the assistance from the Dark Knight himself, a mysterious 1967 black Impala arrives in Gotham just when things start to go to hell. But who called the Winchesters? Why is there a clairvoyant bond between Y/N and Dean Winchester? And why does Castiel, an angel of the Lord, believe John Constantine isn’t who he says he is? And will Dean wear the Batsuit?
Move over Scooby-Natural because it’s Batman’s turn! The Winchesters join Batman and Y/N (You!) in taking down a villain who isn’t an everyday monster for Supernatural!
Please enjoy and comment! If you want a Part 2, please let me know.
  Part 1
 I don’t remember a time where tears felt like my own. Of course, it doesn’t help that I’m standing on the ledge when Gotham is down pouring like it always does at night. It shouldn’t be a surprise, really. Gotham is the only city in the US of A that is dark, depressing, manic, and suicidal.
 Even Superman refuses to stay here for more than a day.
 I’m not any better. The only reason why I’m literally dangling my feet over the edge is because I’m numb.
 Numb to feelings.
Numb to pain.
Numb to life.
 Bottom line is breakups fucking suck period. Especially if your ex-boyfriend is Bruce Wayne.
 And Batman.
 I don’t know why I put myself through this. The bitter pain of having to work with someone you love but to know they’ll never love you as much. Maybe this is why I should have never worked with Bruce.
 Dick left first and has successfully made a name for himself, Nightwing, in Bludhaven.
 Jason comes and goes throughout the months and has his own team of misfits who do good but cause chaos as well.
 Even Tim and Damian are working together. They’re training and leading the Titans. The last I heard from them is that they’re doing just fine.
 Except me.
 Who am I kidding? I can’t compare myself to Bruce’s kids even though I’m closer to Dick’s age than Bruce’s.
 Maybe that’s why it didn’t work out between us. Bruce is almost my father’s age, late forties early fifties. And he’s still sexy as fuck; stronger than ever.
 And here I am in my early thirties, expecting more than just a wordless promise of something more than casual sex and the uncertainty of the future.
 After three months ago, I’m trying desperately hard to not care anymore. The only constant thing in my life is being Night Bat, and I’ll die with only that part of me.
 Death.
 The one place where everything and nothing hurts anymore.
 “Y/N.”
 My head jerks to the right side where Zatanna is standing. With her hands on her hips, I can see her blue eyes blinking sadness and guilt. For a beautiful woman like Z, her broken expression is almost tragic enough to make me cry like her.
 If my own tears were my own. Maybe my tears are Gotham’s.
 “It’s Etrigan. He’s...” Zatanna chokes on her words. She literally holds her neck and tries to stop sobbing. “He’s dead.”
 I can feel my eyebrows raise as confusion and disbelief crash over me.
 “Dead?” I repeat. I can’t even believe that word is coming from my mouth. Etrigan is tough. Etrigan is a shithead. Etrigan cannot be dead. “How?”
 Zatanna shrugs her shoulders as her lips quiver. Seeing her broken up makes me feel like an asshole for not comforting her. So, I stand up and go over to her. Taking her by surprise, I hug her tightly.
 She’s my best friend. My sister. My partner in crime whenever we get into bad shit. (Sometimes...maybe).
 After Zatanna hugs me, she takes a step back and wipes her tears with her gloved hand.
 “He-he was stabbed. I... I don’t know by what but he bled and he was never one to really bleed, you know? I checked everything out and he’s dead. He’s really gone. But it was...a very fucking strange thing. Really,” Zatanna rambles on anxiously. Whenever she cusses, I know she’s angry and stressed out. “Whatever killed him, it’s not from around here. What I sensed near him, it’s not human. It’s not magical. It’s not even Kryptonian or extraterrestrial.”
 I swallow hard. “What do you think it is then?”
 “Demonic.”
_________________________________________________
 “Have you contacted John?” I ask. My voice is rough and breathless. I’m busy shoving as much weapons as I can in my backpack, along with a few clothes and a book from Alfred about demonology. He said it was a gift from Constantine himself.
 I stare down at my long, silver triple-edged dagger that I found on one of my solo missions in Kansas when Bruce was fighting
 “Not in... six months.”
 The guilt in her voice makes me turn to glance at her. “Seriously?”
 I glance down at my black pants and boots to make sure I’m appropriately and comfortably dressed for tonight. I slip on a red and black checkered flannel over my form fitting black tank top.  After rolling up the sleeves to my elbows, I put on my black leather jacket and turn to face Zatanna.
 “What, am I supposed to keep in touch with my ex-boyfriend? I thought ex-boyfriends were meant to stay ex-boyfriends, not friends. And besides, you keep in touch with Bruce,” Zatanna responds smugly.
 “He’s...a co-worker...that’s-thats different.”
 “Bullshit,” Z laughs.
 I roll my eyes. “Whatever. I need a drink before we start...” I say, waving my hand up dramatically. “Whatever this is. I think a stop at Lucky’s is what we need.”
 “A trip to the bar is what YOU need,” Zatanna replies.
 She follows me out of my apartment until we stop in the parking lot where my motorcycle is parked. I don’t see her standing behind me with her arms crossed and eyebrow raised, as I take a seat on my bike and set myself up to ride.
 “What?” I ask, genuinely confused.
 “I could just you know...poof is there.”
 “Yeah, you could like you always do, but I need to ride my baby right now. It’s like, therapy for the low self-esteem, loner, rebels,” I say.
 To my surprise, Zatanna nods her head and gives me a small smile. I’m grateful she understands how much riding my motorcycle makes me happy. Makes me breathe. Makes me feel alive.
 “I’ll see you there, Y/N/N.”
 “See ya, Z.”
 And with that, Zatanna poofs for real. Her magic still surprises me. Whenever I see her perform her spells and tricks, I feel like I’m reliving magic shows I saw as a kid that I used to believe were real and powerful.
 But to know what Zatanna does is real is still unbelievable sometimes.
 And to think we have been best friends for five years now...amazing how time flies by I’m between laughs and heartbreaks.
 Revving my bike, I waste no time speeding out of the parking garage and into the streets of Gotham. The rain and wind in my hair sends me chills, as the lights and buildings pass me by so fast that I feel like everything I see is a blur; almost like in a dream-like state.
 Lucky’s is just a small country rustic bar outside of Gotham. City people usually don’t go there as the place is purely meant for drifters and stranded loners. I happen to love the bar. If I’m ever feeling down or angry, I always drop by to get drunk or frisky if I’m ever in the mood. Bruce was always disappointed in me for that. He always used to say I’m better than that and I shouldn’t put myself down.
 I sometimes think he’d want to say I’m easy, but Bruce is just so complicated sometimes. He can either be a total asshole or be the gentle sweetheart he is. You never know which side you’d see sometimes.
 Almost like Two-Face.
 Swerving into the mud to park alongside trucks and other bikes, I climb off my motorcycle and glance around the dirt lot. I recognize a few vehicles parked already. A new black Escalade parked closer to the bar is different and catches my attention rather quickly.  
 I pull my hair back into a ponytail and start my way over to the expensive ass vehicle when suddenly a black car speeds right pass me and parks right next to my bike, sending mud flying to my pants and on my bike! Rage suddenly takes over me. I can feel my blood boil and my jaw clench as several curse words come to mind. I twist around and instead make my way to that motherfucker’s car.
 A black 1967 Impala? What a fucking joke.
 As if this motherfucker owns this American classic. This self-righteous, prick probably stole it from some old fool or maybe his own old man.
 I’m ready to break this douchebag’s face. Knock all his teeth out and break his cock into two…maybe three pieces.
 I finally reach the driver’s door and quickly open it; door swinging back. This must piss off the man a lot, but I don’t care right now.
“Look, you motherfucker! You think you can just drive like a bat out of hell and get fucking mud on MY baby?!  Get out of this fucking car so I can break you apart with my bare hands!” I yell angrily and loudly.
The man climbs out of his car, but my anger suddenly vanishes. What the hell?
Holy fucking shit…this man is…hot.
Standing at 6’1, this man is almost intimidating. With short brown hair, tan skin, hypnotizing green eyes, and freckles splattered over his nose and cheeks, he’s fucking adorable…and sexy. I can’t help but stare up at him.
He smirks down at me. Underneath his dark jacket, he’s wearing a flannel shirt and black Henley, where I can already see his strong chest, muscled arms, and soft tummy.
“Looks like sweetheart likes what she sees, Sammy. I’d say we made the right choice for coming out to Gotham,” the man speaks smugly. His voice is deep and husky, more addicting than any liquor inside the bar.
Another man comes over to us from around from the car. This man, I’m assuming his Sammy, is FUCKING TALLER than the hot one in front of me!
Sammy chuckles lightly at me. Pushing his longer brown hair from his face, he quickly reaches out to shake my hand.
“Hi, I’m Sam Winchester and this is my brother, Dean.”
The second those words leave his mouth; we hear someone quickly approaching us. Zatanna. And from the looks of theirs, they’re shocked and surprised to see my friend in her usual, sexy magician number.
Zatanna smiles, nonetheless. “Well, if it isn’t the Winchesters. We’ve been expecting you.”

Bloody Courting
Summary: “There are two types of omegas that make it in our world and especially in Gotham. There are the ones like me that wrap Alphas, Betas and even other omegas around their finger, make them dance to their tune. You will not be that omega. You are too brash and forward to it. You will be the omega that goes ahead with the sheer force of will. They will respect you and if they do not, they will fear you,”
Jason had nodded, listening to him with rapt attention.
“And remember, if any of them think they are worth you, make them prove it no matter than their designation. Do not ever settle for less than what you want,”
These days he was really wishing that he hadn’t driven the last point very hard. Because really the dead bodies were getting a bit ridiculous.
Note: This is part 2. You can read part 1 here.
TW: Mention of death, blood and dead bodies. Nothing graphic. It’s Earth 3 so things are a little messed up/
Ao3
xxx
The crime syndicate usually left most of Gotham alone, content with the reports Owlman brought them.
The only time they interfered was when someone stepped out of line and it involved Gotham city.
And Lex Luthor had stepped out of line. The Queens and Waynes were the ones who usually handled Luthor's little shows of rebellion. So Arsenal was sent to Gotham to follow the rumours of Lex bringing supplies there. Usually, Talon would work with him. However, Talon was unavailable so the syndicate was looking to the other Wayne protege to partner up with the alpha.
"I hate it when they interfere with us," said Jason, "I could handle it myself,"
"The investigation was started by the Queens, Kiddo," Bruce told him, "And it could be worse, they could have sent one of the Lanterns or god forbid, the Kryptonians. Their egos are unbearable. Anyway, Roy's a good kid, about Dick's age. Loves murder and mayhem as much as you do. I think you might like him,"
"Hmm," was all Jason said
It was the calm before the storm.
xxx
A week into the investigation, Jason and he were having dinner when the subject of Roy Harper same up.
"I haven't really head from you since the whole situation started. How's it going?"
Jason grinned, "Pretty good. You were right, I do like him,"
Bruce tilted his head. Interesting.
It wasn't that Jason hadn't ever proclaimed to like someone before, platonic or otherwise. It was just that he had never said it like that.
A pretty smile on his face, eyes flitting everywhere and light pink ears.
Interesting.
Either way, Jason was an adult. He could handle his own affairs.
xxx
The bouquet of flowers was beautiful. Red roses, white lilies and pink orchids, all tied together by a black bow.
It was lovely, really.
Except that it was clutched in a severed hand.
An expertly cut and embalmed severed hand.
But it was a severed hand.
It had been a while since a gift like this had ended up on his doorstep but it could only be for one person.
Good thing he was here today.
"Jason!"
Jason came running out and grinned when he saw the bouquet.
"My favourites!"
"Who are they from?" Bruce asked
Jason checked the note attached to the small finger.
Wait-was he-was he blushing?
"They're from Roy,"
Oh yes, definitely blushing.
Roy didn't need favours. Roy wouldn't disregard the Queen/Wayne alliance for a night of fun. Roy had deliberately sent the flowers over to Bruce's place on a night that Jason was there.
Well shit.
xxx
Bruce and Jason had lived together long enough that even apart their heats synchronized. Bruce usually spent it with one of his Alphas and Jason spent it with whoever had given him a nice gift that month.
But this time both Talia or Selina was unavailable so Jason had come over.
Bruce had always loved heats spent with his little pup, inhaling his soothing scent of lemongrass and sweet tea. Right now Jason was cuddled into his side, nuzzling at his neck and letting out small purrs.
So adorable.
"Hey B," he said, bumping his head against his chin
"What is it, baby?" asked Bruce, running a hand through his hair.
"I think Roy wants to court me,"
"Oh?"
"And the syndicate wants to shut down Lex's whole side operation but you already know that,"
He did know that.
"And well, Roy's probably gonna end up staying here for a while since Gotham seems to be the base, Lex probably thought he could hide from Owlman,"
"Jason, point?" asked Bruce
Jason raised his head so Bruce could see his face.
"Roy. Courting. How do you feel about it?"
Oh. Wow. Okay. Jason was actually serious about the older alpha.
"I trust your judgement, kid,"
Jason flashed him his brilliant smile, "Okay!"
Bruce gently rubbed Jason's back as he snuggled down again.
Jason liked bloody gifts and a courting would entail many more of them.
But Bruce had put up with them for this long. He could do it for the duration of the courting.
How bad could it be? It's not like Jason even lived here anymore.
xxx
There was a dead body in his living room.
Bruce recognized the man. He had put a hit on him a few days ago. He would have loved to go after him himself but that's not what was expected of Bruce Wayne and Jason was busy. So, in his brother's and the Talon's absence he ha ordered a hit with a reward.
Usually, anybody who completed the hit would bring proof to an agreed-upon location and then would be given compensation.
This time the body was in his living room. And it was dripping blood.
And Roy Harper was standing over it. Kori right behind him.
"You know if that's for Jason, he's not here and probably wrong...subject,"
"Oh this is for you," said Roy
Oh. Bruce looked from the body to Roy to Kori.
"Sit down, please,"
Roy and Kori took the matching armchairs while Bruce took the love seat.
"I'm going to assume you somehow got access from Dick," said Bruce
"Yes," said Kori
"Explain this to me," he told Roy though he had an idea of where this was going. Some alphas liked to ask permission to court young omegas. Now Jason didn't need anyone's permission to do anything but Bruce could respect Roy's desire to deal with any possible issues.
"Well," said Roy, "As you know, Jason and I have become close while working together and I've been thinking of he was to give us a chance, we would make a good match,"
Bruce waited for the next bit but nothing came. Roy just sat there looking at him expectantly, an impassive look on his face. Kori looked a little like she was bracing for impact.
He took another look at the body, at the alpha in front of him and-
Oh.
Oh.
This Bitch.
This alpha had specifically gone hunting a man Bruce wanted dead.
This alpha had broken into Bruce's home with the body of a man Bruce wanted dead.
This alpha had brought Bruce's future daughter-in-law with him to break into Bruce's house with the body of a man Bruce wanted dead.
Roy wasn't asking permission. Roy was informing Bruce of his intentions.
In Bruce's house. With a dead body. And Bruce's oldest son's fiance.
God Damn. Bruce had to admit he was impressed.
Didn't mean he had to leave the alpha unscathed.
"You know Roy," said Bruce, "This reminds me of the time Talia courted me,"
"Oh?" said Roy, looking mildly surprised
Bruce smiled. Jason had obviously told him that his dad wasn't the mild-mannered omega the public thought he was.
"Well, on one of our dates she took me out on an outing," said Bruce, "You know, a late-night picnic, some stargazing, walking hand in hand in a field-"
Bruce paused and looked up.
"Some murder under the moon,"
The jerk Roy's body gave was positively amazing. Kori was starting to look amused, probably remembering the first time she and Bruce had had a similar conversation.
"At one point Talia sat down and just watched me slash people's throats. Said I looked pretty doing it. Though, I was also very young back then,"
Bruce gave the alpha a winning smile.
"What do you think Roy?" asked Bruce, "Would I still look good killing people with a blade?"
Rou gulped, "I'm sure Talia and Selina definitely think so,"
Bruce gave him a wide grin, one he had been told made him look manic.
"Good answer," he said, "Speaking of Selina, we once after this man that had dared to betray the Owlman. I still used to be a 'field agent' back then, if you know what I mean. Do you want to know what we did to him?"
"Did you kill him?" asked Kori
Oh, she was definitely amused.
"No. I personally consider killing someone as mercy," said Bruce, then looked at Roy, "Let's just say, he can no longer feed himself,"
"Oh," said Roy, starting to look a little green
"Ooh," said Bruce, sitting up as if excited, "This one time all three of us went after this woman who had seen something she wouldn't tell us about so to make an example of her we gouged her eyes out,"
Bruce gave another grin.
"With our fingers. Well," he said, waving his hand around a little, "My fingers,"
Roy nodded quickly
"Either way. We got off-topic. I think Courting is a lovely idea. Thank you for him. Could I interest you in something to drink?"
"No thank you, sir," said Roy, quickly getting up, "We should really be going,"
"Of course I understand," said Bruce, "I'll walk you out,"
Once the two had left, Bruce stayed by the door long enough to hear Roy screeching to Kori about not telling him how scary Bruce was.
Bruce chuckled and dialled a familiar number on his phone.
"Hi, Arrow. It's me. I think I might have traumatized your protege,"
xxx
Jason was in the den room. That itself wasn't an unusual occurrence.
The body packed in a plastic bag was.
At least this one wasn't dripping blood onto his floor.
"Jay, baby, what is that?"
"Oh, a dead body," said Jason, cheeky smile in place
Bruce snorted, "You know what I mean,"
"Roy gave it to me," said Jason, "It has art on it. Wanna see?"
Bruce sighed and went to sit by him, "Why not kiddo. Show me,"
Roy had used a blade to carve an intricate rose design into the skin. The carvings were deeper in some areas and barely there in others. They were also in crying shades of crimson. He would have to let the blood settle in some areas while carving some areas while the body was still fresh.
All in all, it looked like hard work.
"I'm guessing this is one of the people taking part in Lex's little operation,"
"Yup," said Jason, "Roy interrogated him and that did this. Amazing, right?"
Bruce chuckled and shook his head, "I really don't understand your interest in these courting presents,"
Jason just gave him an impish grin.
Bruce sighed gain and mentally braced himself.
This was only the beginning after all.
xxx
There was another dead body in the room.
And Jason was-uh-working on it.
"Jason, sweetheart," said Bruce, "Explain to me what you're doing,"
"Creating a gift for Roy," said Jason, "I mean who said that the alpha's the only one who has to give courting gifts, right?"
"Right," said Bruce, "And why are you doing this here?"
"Roy drops by my place too much, it would be better here. Also, it'll probably take a few days,"
Bruce refrained from asking what exactly the present was supposed to be or mentioning that Jason had numerous safe houses. Instead, he quickly went to his room and dialled two numbers.
"Oh hi Talia, Selina. You both picked up. Great! I need a vacation. Please take some pity on your dear, wonderful omega and take him on vacation. Yes-yes Selina. I am referring to myself in the third person! That is not the point!"
xxx
Vacation had been wonderful, filled with warm beaches, open skies and the two of his smallest pups.
They had dropped off Talia and Damian with the League and Selina and Helena had opted to also be dropped at their place instead of taking Bruce home. Which was great anyway. This way he had time to relax before-
"Uh, what are you doing?"
Jason and Roy instantly looked up from the dead body their hands were buried in.
"Oh, Hi dad," said Jason, I'd give you a hug but-uh,"
Roy had gone very very still.
"That doesn't answer my question," said Bruce
"I thought you were supposed to come home tomorrow," said Jason
"I was," said Bruce, crossing his arms.
Roy carefully took a step back.
"Sorry about this," said Jason, "We'll clean it up,"
"You better," said Bruce, "Also I think Tim is probably available. It's been too long since I've spoken to him. I'll go see him,"
"Yeah," said Jason, "Drake Holdings landed a pretty big deal while you were gone. He'll probably want to tell you about it,"
"Right," said Bruce, going backwards out of the house
Maybe he could stay somewhere else for a while.
xxx
"I mean I like a little blood and death as much as the next person but I like to keep it out of my house. Bloody life outside, inside I'm a normal rich person. These two keep bringing-hey! Are you even listening to me?! Timmy!
"You could just tell him to not bring his 'dead body' presents to your house, or at least the den and nest room,"
'...'
'...'
"How dare you?! I can't do that! It'll break his heart,"
'...'
'...'
"You're a mess, B,"
xxx
"Dad! Dad! look what Roy made me!"
Bruce took a deep breath and brace himself for another dead body in his den.
It-it wasn't a dead body.
It looked like a large snow globe.
Well not a snow globe, since it didn't have snow in it.
The globe was about the size of a human head. It seemed to be a part of Gotham, holding two figures standing over a third. Going by the uniforms, it was Arsenal and Red X, chopping off the head of someone.
"That's a gruesome scene," said Bruce
"It's the first outing we went on," said Jason, "But you haven't seen the best part,"
Jason twisted a key and the two figures started beating the first, there seemed to be an explosion in the background and line of-
"Is that real blood?" asked Bruce incredulously
"Yup, Roy installed a system in the bottom so it doesn't go stale," said Jason, "Amazing isn't it?"
Bruce had to admit, it was impressive.
"You really like him, don't you?" asked Bruce
"Yeah," said Jason, his voice suddenly shy and soft
Bruce smiled and kissed his forehead, "I'm glad. He better not hurt you though, otherwise, I'll be making a globe with his blood,"
Jason's laughter was like magic.
xxx
Jason had been quiet the whole day, mumbling when asked a question, barely speaking up and playing with his food.
It was when he was about to leave that Bruce finally brought it up.
"What's up with you, Jay?"
"Nothing," he muttered, pulling on his shoes
"Jay," said Bruce, gently taking his hand, "Talk to me,"
"The whole Lex thing is over and Roy is going back to Star," said Jason, "And I know we're good but at best we do long-distance and I just don't know if I can take that. I'll miss him,"
"I'm sure it'll be okay, Jay,"
"I'm not like you, dad," huffed Jason, "You don't see Tal and Sel for months at a time. I can't do that,"
Bruce sighed, "Have you talked to Roy about it?"
"We're doing that tonight," said Jason, "Kinda scared of the outcome,"
"It'll be fine," said Bruce, "And if not, you know where to find me,"
"Yeah," said Jason and opened the door. And stopped.
There was a body on their doorstep.
Tied up and obviously dead.
"Who's this," said Bruce, not even surprised at this point
"Traitor," said Jason, kneeling down and picking a note from the bodies' fingers.
"Your favourite stabbing place," read Jason
Bruce was about to ask what the hell was going on but Jason was already taking out a knife and slicing open the inside of the man's right thigh. He reached in and took out a clear plastic bag. Inside it was two keys.
"I'm guessing one's from Star and the other from Gotham,"
Jason smiled, "Yup,"
Bruce shook his head, "While I'm happy that your stress in elevated, couldn't he have sent them in some normal way,"
"You don't get it, dad," said Jason, "I never told Roy my favourite stabbing spot,"
Bruce had nothing to say to that.
xxx
Lex Luthor went quiet for about a year and then came back with an army of robots.
And since the Waynes and Queens had been in charge of subduing him in the first place, they were once again sent in. Since there was an army, everyone had gotten involved.
Bruce had even gotten both of his alphas to join in.
The battle took days but they had succeeded without any casualties on their side.
"Well," said Oliver, "This seems to be- oh you have got to be kidding me!"
Bruce followed the other omega's gaze and found Arsenal kneeling on the bloody ground in front of Red X. Bruce looked back at Oliver to see if he was upset but he only looked amused. Probably thinking the same thing as Bruce.
Why here?
"Well, at least Roy won't be sending me any more pictures of his courting 'presents'"
"Pictures," screeched Bruce, "You're mad at pictures! I had to put up with dead bodies in my house. Dead bodies with art, dead bodies with book quotes, severed hands, cut out hearts- don't even get me started on the intestines! And the blood!"
Oliver grimaced, "At least they seem happy,"
Bruce looked back to where Jason had now jumped into Roy's arms everyone around then cheering and applauding,"
"Yeah," murmured Bruce, "They're happy,"
xxx
The wedding was beautiful, both him and Oliver having pulled out all the stops for their boys. The suits were red instead of the traditional white. The theme set in the colour of the sunset. The wedding party was huge, composed of their siblings and the pack they had accumulated over the year.
Really, Bruce couldn't be prouder.
When it was time for the dance, the grooms first danced together and then their fathers and then their siblings. Eventually, Bruce ended up with Roy as his partner.
The young man grinned at him, "Hey Bruce,"
"Hello, Roy," said Bruce, "How are you feeling?"
"Right now," said Roy, "Kinda glad I can still feed myself,"
"Well, don't get comfortable. That can still be changed,"
Roy laughed as they changed partners again, having moved on from being afraid of Bruce's mere presence.
Later, both Oliver and Bruce were discussing the honeymoon with the newlyweds.
"I still don't know why you didn't let us pay," said Oliver
"Where are you going anyway," asked Bruce, "You never said,"
"Oh, Talia helped us plan it,"
Talia had good taste in vacation spots, maybe she recommended the beach resort at-
"We're taking a job for the League," said Jason, "In Paris. I mean we've mixed both things this long. Why change it?"
Before Bruce could say anything, someone else was pulling the two away for a picture.
"I'm seriously starting to reconsider our parenting of them," muttered Oliver
Bruce sighed and shrugged, "At least they're happy"
Olive smiled, "Yeah. Did I ever tell you how Roy became my protege?"
"You saw his talent, right?"
"Well, yes but there were a lot of alphas that wanted him considering he was one and I was an omega. But he refused to cooperate with anyone. He'd only work with me,"
"Loyalty," said Bruce
"Yup,"
The two omegas spent the rest of the time quietly talking about their perspective boys, laughing at their stories.
So what if the courting had been a little bloody, thought Bruce, their boys were happy. That's all that mattered.
Still, Bruce was glad they now had their own place and pack to show off their bloody presents.
His floor couldn't take much more. And he liked that floor.

Are you still taking prompts? If you are, #47 timkon?
47. “I’ve been in love with you for years.”
Do you know that feeling? The one that creeps under your skin and replaces the marrow in your bones? The one that curls in the pit of your stomach and squeezes at your beating heart? That feeling that makes you feel like you are flying, but also that you're going to crash to the ground at any moment without warning and there's nothing you can do to stop it? And do you know what it feels like, to always have that feeling, for years?
Tim Drake does.
He knows, and it hurts. It hurts so bad, but it also feels so so good. He wouldn't ever want to be without it. It's as familiar to him as an old friend, or a brother. It's a natural as breathing. He wouldn't know what to do without that feeling.
So why does he try so damn hard to shove it down?
This feeling, this freeing, and yet suffocating feeling. It is the feeling of being in love. It's the feeling of loving someone so close to you, that you're too afraid to tell them. It's the feeling of when a crush has gone on for too long and you realize it's no longer a silly school yard crush. You're in love. It's the feeling of being in love with your best friend and having to choke it down and hide it and tell the feeling to leave you alone, even if the thought of being without it makes you want to cry at night.
And it wasn't like Conner was straight, by any means. Tim had witnessed the bi disaster making out with guys and girls at parties (sometimes within seconds of each other), so that wasn't the issue. No the issue was the fact that Tim shouldn't be having these feelings. Conner was his best friend! He'd known the teen since he had been "born". Bart and Cassie were both really close to him, sure. But nothing came close to the bond he had formed with Conner. He couldn't describe it.
But still. Every time he looked at Kon, there was that warm curling feeling in his stomach. Followed shortly by a sharp spike of fear at the thought of ever telling Kon. Every time he saw Kon out with someone else, especially romantically, it made him feel sick with jealousy, and then he got mad that he was jealous. He had no right to act like that.
He had no plans of ever telling Kon anyway.
So he probably should find Pamela and thank her for those damn hormone pheromones that he was exposed to and gave him no other option.
He'd been covering for Bruce and Damian, right? The two were out of town for some reason or another, and things of course started going crazy, starting with Poison Ivy breaking out of Arkham. He couldn't reach Jason or Dick, so he did the next think he thought of and called Kon. Why? Because Kon was always willing to help. And sure enough, he showed up ten minutes later and followed Tim's motorcycle across town to the little warehouse he had tracked Poison Ivy too. She had wrapped him up in vines within five minutes and then turned her attention towards seducing Superboy.
"Little red over there has no interest in me, I can tell, but you on the other hand..." she hummed out, walking up to the super who was being dangled upside down by vines.
"Superboy, resist it!" Tim hissed out, struggling to reach one of his knives.
"You want to find out if these pheromones work on Kryptonians?"
Now Kon, being the absolute Himbo he is, just huffed a huge breath of air at her as she started to blow the pheromones at him. Which in theory works great, not quite so in practice when your partner is tied up directly downwind. Tim yelped and then squeezed his eyes and mouth shut, holding his breath as the gust of wind hit him. But he knew that wouldn't work. He had too much exposed skin, it would just sap through there. Who knows, maybe Bruce's last round of inoculants would protect him. He heard a yelp and a solid thump and then the familiar sound of Kon's heat vision. The vines loosened on their own, and then suddenly arms were grabbing him, pulling him up.
"Hey, you okay?"
"Fine for now."
Tim wiped his face off with his cape, looking around and seeing Pamela crumpled on the floor.
"Tie her up and I'll take her back to Arkham."
Tim nodded and did so, ziptying her hands and legs together. Kon scooped her up and took off. Tim just looked around at the dying vines, called GCPD, and then walked out, trying to ignore the growing uncomfortableness.
Kon found him twenty minutes later at the batcave, meticulously logging the incident.
"Poison Ivy is back in prison, and the guards are absolutely dumbfounded as to how it happened."
"It was Jason."
"What?"
"I looked at the video footage while you were gone. It was Jason. He wanted a distraction while he threw a heist on the other side of town."
"Oh."
Kon walked over and put a hand on the back of Tim's chair, leaning forwards to look at the computer a little better. Tim could smell him. He smelled like sweat and plants and his cheap cologne. Kon's fingers brushed his shoulder, and his heavily aroused body jolted at the touch, his heart rapidly picking up. He just grit his teeth and held his gaze on the computer.
"Are you okay?"
Don't respond, just work. Just stay under the desk and you're fine.
"Tim?"
"I'm okay."
"Your heart is going crazy, are you- Oh shit. The pheromones. I didn't even think about it."
Tim did his best to glare, but it was a little hard with how he wanted to jump on Kon and kiss him and have his hands-
"I'm fine," he bit out.
"No you're not, dude. Are you just gonna let yourself suffer?!"
"If I have too."
Kon huffed in annoyance, yanking Tim's chair back.
"You need to not be stuck at a computer, Tim."
"Kon, my situation will not change based on my location."
"It might."
Kon reached down and easily picked up Tim, turning towards the stairs. Tim squirmed away and fell to the floor, landing in a crouch and easily popping up.
"Tim!" Kon protested, waving at him dramatically. "Look at yourself!"
"I'm painfully aware of my current physical condition, Conner!"
"How can you do this to yourself?!"
"Very easily, believe it or not!" Tim snapped, turning to walk towards the locker room.
"How!?"
"Because I can."
"Tim."
"Fine! You wanna know how?!" Tim whirled around to Kon, stalking towards him.
"Yes! I would!"
"Because I've been in love with you for years!"
Kon's mouth fell open, and he went silent as he stared at Tim with wide eyes.
"oh," he said softly.
Tim just spun away and continued walking off.
"Wait, Tim!"
Tim didn't wait this time, just went into the locker room and start undoing all the buckles and straps on his uniform. And then the door banged shut. He turned to see Kon walking in, and opened his mouth to speak. Only Kon walked right up to him, grabbed him by the shoulders and pressed him up against the wall, immediately kissing him. Tim panicked for a moment before kissing him back, a hand coming up to his chest.
"You dumbass. You know how long I've been trying to get your attention?" Kon huffed out as he pulled away.
"W-wait. You?"
"Yes. Geesh. I'm in love with you too.
"Oh," Tim breathed out, staring up into blue eyes.
"Yeah, now do you want some help with this or no?"
Tim huffed a little laugh. "I guess, I won't say no."
"Good because I've been dying to do this."
This, apparently, was lifting Tim up and pressing him against the wall and heavily making out.

(SUPERBAT WEEK 2019) day 01
Chapter Title: I Saw Daddy Kissing Superman Day One: Omegaverse & Secret Relationship Rating: Teen and up Audiences Warning(s): None Word Count: 2818 Summary: Bruce adopted young Richard Grayson. There is a lot for the adoptive father and son to learn about each other. For example; the secret identity and (possibly) new dad. Side-note: Written for @superbatweek​​ Other link(s): AO3 | Wattpad | Fanfiction
“Who is that guy with glasses?”
Bruce glanced against his shoulder in surprise. He hasn’t realized that Richard had sneaked behind him. The boy pointed a curious finger at the contact in his phone and zoomed the picture.
“You called him ‘sweetheart’.” Richard looked up at Bruce. “I thought your Alpha was Batman.”
Before the child could scroll up to the conversation, Bruce pulled the phone out of his reach. “What makes you think so?”
“Everyone in Gotham knows you have something with Batman. And I can prove it.” The boy pulled a Batarang from his pocket. “How can you explain the batarangs or the cowl I found in your rooms? Or the fact sometimes you have his smell on you. He must have been a constant visitor. I just haven’t had the chance of catching you guys in action.”
“Dick, that’s rude.” Bruce breathed out a sigh, shaking his head. He should have taken extra caution with his tools. Before this, he had too much convenience in dumping his stuff around, since there were only Alfred and him in this big mansion. But now, it was different. There was a new addition in the house – a young curious beta pup – and Bruce was not, mentally and physically, prepared to reveal his secret identity to the boy yet.  “I am telling you the truth. I’m not in a relationship with Batman.”
“Really?” The boy seemed to not believe his words. His eyes were glued on the screen of Bruce’s phone. “So, he was your alpha? That country-looking guy with glasses and in the flannel shirt who you called your ‘sweetheart’.”
Yes. The word was stuck on Bruce’s tongue. He was never good with his words. He knew there was nothing to be embarrassed about – his relationship with Clark. However, he was still struggling with his words. It took a lot of courage to speak up, but instead, the boy took his silence the wrong way.
“I will not criticize your choice, Bruce.” Dick smiled in the most uncomfortable way that Bruce had ever seen him pull. “I am an open-minded person. Mom always told me that there is nothing wrong with whoever you love, no matter their biology or races. So, it doesn’t matter to me if your alpha is the vigilante of Gotham or a random country guy, I am fine with that as long as you have made your choice!”
I told you, I’m not in a relationship with Batman! Once again, the words were stuck in his mouth. Instead, Bruce smiled back in the best way he could – although he wanted to frown at Dick’s words.
It seemed like it was time for Clark to meet with Dick soon.
×
“I think it’s time for you to meet Richard.”
Clark almost thought that he had misheard what Bruce said. He looked at his omega in surprise, seemingly malfunctioned for a while as he tried to process through the words.
“You mean it? Really?” He couldn’t bottle up the tingling happiness within him. All along, the relationship between Bruce and him had maintained as a secret. As Bruce said, it was better to keep the relationship low profile to avoid being overwhelmed by the media.
Clark had always respected Bruce’s wish, since he knew that the media loved to report any rumours related to Bruce Wayne, the rich and most well-known omega in the world. It was Bruce’s way of protecting him, as he didn’t want Clark’s reputation as a reporter to be stained by his. However, that didn’t mean that Clark had never wished that he could tell the world about how much he loved Bruce and how the man was not as described by the media.
When Bruce first adopted Dick, Clark had been excited to introduce himself to the boy. However, Bruce had told him that was not the right time yet. The child was badly traumatised with the loss of parents, and the comfort of a parental figure was more important than letting him meet the partner of his new father then. Clark, being the understanding and patient partner he had always been, had agreed to it.
“What’s the sudden decision? I thought you agreed that I will meet with him after another six months.”
“Because he has been going on some weird theories which have been making me uncomfortable.” Bruce turned around, looking at Clark with a frown. “Just this evening, he told me about how he thought that I was in a relationship with Batman. Can you believe it, Clark? Then he was giving me that look – the one that was like he is trying his hardest not to judge me, because he thought that I am probably cheating on my partner with another man. Exactly how the media has always judged me.”
“Oh, I’m sure he didn’t think so, Bruce.” Clark placed an arm over Bruce’s shoulder, pressing a kiss on the man’s head and taking in his scent. “I’m sure he will understand once you explain it to him. He will understand. I believe in that.”
‘Easier to say than to be done,’ Bruce thought, giving out a huff.
×
“I’m going to get killed by Bruce…”
Dick looked around his surroundings nervously. He had been too excited since this was his first visit to Metropolis. Without Bruce’s permission, he had sneaked out of the man’s office and went for a walk. He thought that he had recognized his way home, but he had been wrong. He was so occupied with playing around that he had lost his way. And now, he was stuck outside – no money since he had spent most of his allowance on the desserts and games... and without a phone.
Dick sat underneath a tree, biting his nails as he tried to find a way to get home. Suddenly, he took notice of the stray cat beside him, who was peacefully taking its nap.
Well, this is Metropolis, where the Superman lived. Rumours said that the man of steel will help no matter how small the issue is, even if it was just a cat stuck in the tree. I will do it as gentle as possible, and no feline shall be harmed in the process…
×
Okay, maybe he had thrown the cat a little too harshly. The cat gave out a surprised meow when it was suddenly grabbed by the tail and throw upwards towards the tree. Then, Dick sat under the tree, burying his head in his knees as he awaited the arrival of the man of steel.
Not more than ten seconds, there was a gush of wind as a figure floated downwards, holding the traumatized cat in his hands. “Is this your cat, kid?”
“No, but thank you anyway, Superman!” Dick grinned. His heart racing at the sight of his idol standing in front of him. But of course, this wasn’t the right time to be excited! He’d summoned the superhero for a very important reason!
“I had lost my way home, Superman. Can you… uhm, lend me your phone, Superman?” There was the alternative way, allowing Superman to fly him back to the Wayne Enterprise. But Dick wanted to be able to get the contact number of the superhero!
And Clark – Superman – didn’t know why he did think it was a good idea, to pull out his phone and lend it towards a little child he didn’t even know. He just assumed that the child’s parent was around, and all he needed was a quick call to get that parent back to him. However, when the boy started to dial a very familiar number, Clark’s eyes widened.
‘Hold on. Why is he dialling Bruce’s number?’
‘… why does Superman have Bruce’s number saved…?’
×
By the time his phone vibrated, Bruce felt relieved to pull himself away from the meeting for a while. It was too boring, and he was tired from dealing with those two-faced men who were just trying to dig a hole in his pocket. When he looked over at the screen of his phone, he was amused to see that it was Clark who was calling since it was rare for the man to call during work hours.
“What is it, my darling?” With a hint of playfulness, since he wanted to maintain his reputation as the flirty Bruce Wayne in public, Bruce answered with sweet name-calling.
There was a moment of silence at the other side of the phone, and Bruce was ready to ask if there was something wrong with Clark, when an unexpected, familiar voice answered his call.
“B-Bruce…?”
…Dick?
×
“Bruce, you called Superman darling.”
“Yea, I guess I do.”
“But… you have Clark listed as your sweetheart in your phone.”
“Yea… I did.”
“… it’s not right.” Dick whispered close to Bruce’s ear, frowning. “Clark is a nice man. He might not be shining like the Superman, but… you shouldn’t cheat on him, Bruce! You should only choose one! Clark deserves loyalty and respect!”
Clark knew he shouldn’t eavesdrop – superpowers were strictly restricted in Wayne Manor – but he couldn’t help but snicker at the boy’s words. He tried not to make it seem too obvious, so he bit back his laughter. Alfred, who noticed the man’s chuckle, could only shake his head at the mess that had been created by his own master.
“… I think I understand why Batman break up with you, Bruce.”
“Dick, I already told you –” He caught Clark snickering, and Bruce swore, if it wasn’t for Dick being next to him, he might have thrown the glass of water in his hand at the Kryptonian for laughing at his miserable situation.
×
It happened during one peaceful night – Dick was in his room sleeping, when he was suddenly being awakened by a noise downstairs. Out of curiosity (and concern, of course), he walked downstairs – only to meet with a sight which caused him to wonder if he was still dreaming.
“It’s okay… you’re safe now, you’re home…”
Superman was holding someone in his arms. Dick couldn’t really recognize the person in his arms, since the person’s face was well hidden by the red cape. When he stepped close enough, the beta had caught the heavy sweet scent which was emitted by one of them.
‘It smelled familiar… It smelled… smelled like Bruce…?’
Just as the thought crossed Dick’s mind, Superman stepped upstairs and almost bumped into him. The man halted back just in time; his eyes widened at seeing Dick.
“D-Dick? Why are you awake at this hour? You should be in bed!”
Due to the closeness between both of them, Dick finally managed to have a good look of the omega in Superman’s arms. It was Bruce, but he was wearing Batman’s suit.
“B-Bruce?!” All of his curiosities were swallowed back in his stomach. He was overcome with worry upon seeing Bruce in agony. “Oh my gosh, are you okay? Can you hear me? Bruce? Bruce!”
“Young master Dick.”
Dick turned around at the call. Alfred was standing behind him, seemingly more calmed down than Dick expected him to, with Bruce in such pain. “Master Bruce is in safe hands now. There shall be nothing you should be worried about.” Alfred placed a hand on his shoulder, guiding the teen downstairs. “Come, boy, would you like a cup of warm milk?”
×
It tasted sweet, the honey-milk Alfred had fixed for him. Dick took another sip of the warm beverage as he tried to process what had happened so far.
Superman brought Bruce home. Bruce was wearing Batman’s costume. Bruce was sick.
Somehow, none of the information seemed to connect with other parts. Who was the real alpha of Bruce? Superman?
‘Well, having a superhero as my adoptive step-dad is not bad.’ Dick shrugged at the thought. Superman was the well-loved superhero of the whole world. He was a public figure, just like Bruce, so they would make a great pair together! Not to mention, Dick should feel honoured, since he had a superhero as his adoptive step-dad, right?
‘But Bruce was wearing Batman’s costume!’ Dick remembered, Bruce was attending a bachelor party tonight. Alfred had helped him pick out his favourite three-piece suit.  That should have been what Bruce was wearing, right? Why was Bruce wearing Batman’s costume now? Was it perhaps because he was taken away by the crusader, in the middle of the night? What could both of them have possibly done?!
‘And Clark?’ Dick glanced down at the piece of cookie he had taken from the jar. It was Clark’s handmade cookie, and the man had baked a jar just for him. Clark knew how much Dick loved his chocolate chip cookies! Clark was always so kind to him, making him delicacies while Alfred refused to let him have more than he should. Clark played soccer with him when Bruce couldn’t. Clark also helped Alfred with the chores just to lessen the butler’s burden. How could Bruce have possibly cheated on such a kind person?!
“Alfred, the adult world is complicated,” Dick sighed out, biting off a huge chunk off the cookie.

Thanks to Alfred’s interruption, Clark could finally get Bruce back in his room – where the omega felt the safest whenever his heat arrived. It should have been another two weeks before the actual heat arrived. However, it had been quickened due to Ivy’s sudden attack at the night party which Bruce attended.
In the process of stopping Ivy, one of her plants had sprayed Bruce with its pollen. The effects hadn’t shown until later, when Bruce had handed Ivy over to Commissioner Gordon, that his scent had started to spread out wildly.
Clark, who stayed at Bruce’s side when all of this happened, had immediately sensed that Bruce’s heat had arrived early. In his greatest effort of making sure that Bruce’s identity wouldn’t be revealed, Clark had wrapped the man up in his cape and brought him home before he had bumped into with Dick.
There would be a lot of explanations to give with Dick tomorrow, but for now, the issue on hand was Bruce.
“Bruce? Can you hear me?” Clark gently patted on Bruce’s face. “Bruce, I’m going to help you get rid of your suit, okay? Everything will be alright ̶”
An arm reached out and pulled Clark into the bed. Bruce kissed Clark hard, their teeth clashing. It was obvious that the omega had been driven mad by his heat, and now, what he needed wasn’t gentle emotional comfort. He needed something more physical.
“Clark,” Bruce panted through the kiss. “Shut up and fuck me.”

“Bruce?”
Dick knocked on the door once, awaiting a reply from the man. Usually, the man would have answered– even a sleepy groan would count. But today, he was quiet. Too quiet.
“Bruce, can you hear me?” Dick called out louder this time, knocking on the door a few times. Again, there was no reply. The teen thought worriedly.
“I’m coming in,” he announced, twisting the doorknob as he took a peek inside. There was no one on the bed, but there were clothes scattered around the floor, which indicated that someone had been here – at least before he came in.
Dick looked around the room, feeling confused. When his search came up fruitless, he was ready to leave, when his sharp hearing took notice of a soft groan which was above him.
Immediately, Dick looked upward. And there they were; Bruce, who was still sleeping soundly, and Clark, who was holding on Bruce tightly, floating as he met Dick’s gaze nervously.
“Hey, Dick…” Clark tried to steady his voice as he spoke. “I will explain to you later. Could you… tell Alfred that Bruce and I will be back soon? Thank you for coming up to wake us, and uh, sorry, for what you had to see.”
Dick was staring, his mouth gaping wide in shock. There was a moment in which he couldn’t progress what he had seen, but once he regained his senses, he didn’t know what he could have said.
“C-Clark?!”
On that fine Sunday morning, Dick had a two-hour long conversation with Bruce. They talked about everything that Bruce had hidden from him since the beginning – Bruce’s secret identity as the dark crusader, his relationship with Clark who was actually Superman, and the Birds-and-Bees Talk which came in a matched set with the Safe Sex Talk.
Nevertheless, to say, Dick felt utterly betrayed (and flustered for the final two topics) upon realizing how much his new father had hidden from him.
“I thought we were family, Bruce!”
Aside from being saddened by the fact that Bruce had hidden his secret identity from him, Dick wasn’t bothered or disappointed at the fact that Clark was Superman.
In the end, Bruce and Clark took the boy to Haagen-Dazs to cheer him up.
