#Tim is terrifying

[nerdpoe]

Tim gives Bernard an old puzzle box with a morbid history and ties to a few conspiracy theories as a birthday present.

Naturally he calls in a favor or two to make sure that it isn't cursed or anything before he gives it to his boyfriend.

Bernard is in love with the thing, and when he's not working or spending time with Tim he's trying to crack open the box.

That's fine, all well and good; until Bernard actually manages to open the thing.

Inside is a glowing, crystalline sphere that radiates cold.

Bernard loves it.

Tim's freaked out by it.

Bernard starts to...get weirdly obsessed with it. Treating it like it's a baby or something.

Buying a crib for it and onesies and toys and stuff.

Tim's convinced he accidentally cursed his boyfriend with some horrible demon or something that'll kill Bernard the second Tim lets his guard down or leaves him alone with it.

Then he has to leave Bernard alone with the sphere to deal with an Arkham breakout

When he come back...

The sphere is gone.

That's a baby in Bernard's arms, wearing one of the pun-onsies he'd bought for the sphere.

Or: Danny, ages ago and many dimensions away, got seriously hurt and reverted to his Core form. The damage was so severe that Clockwork warned Jazz and his friends that even once he came out of his Core form, he would most likely be a child. So Sam, Tucker, and Jazz designed a box with the help of Clockwork that would protect him until he was with people who would keep him safe. Time passed, and the box exchanged many hands, until it came into the possession of one Bernard Dowd. The One Who Proved Himself Worthy.

New Robin Tim: *Just sitting there happily watching the Incredibles with Dick and Bruce*

Dick and Bruce: *secretly watching Tim and glancing at each other every time Syndrome comes on screen*

#they are terrified of cutsy little tim like their stomachs drop any time something even minor might tick Tim off #look so tim forced his way into the robin/sidekick role #syndrome tried that #syndrome became a supervillain who tried to kill mr. incredible and did kill many more supervillains #isnt Tim like a supervillain in different universes? #look all I'm saying is I feel like Dick and Bruce would see the parallels between the two and be thankful they said yes to Tim as Robin #they would be like 'thank god we didnt fight him too much cause now we dont have to deal with life mimicking art' #but it is always in the back of their minds and they always have that little voice pointing out he could still become syndrome on them #tim drake robin #tim drake #bruce wayne #dick grayson #incorrect batfamily quotes #batman #bat family #batfam #batkids

I feel like the Robins probably watched horror movies to really up their game, taking notes on the gestures and body language that would creep you out. "Criminals are a superstitious lot", so yeah the guy in full body armour that could beat you up would suck, but a small child, somewhere in the dark, with an echoing laugh all around you as you fire off a hail of bullets, somehow dodging everything and gleefully messing you up. That's psychological warfare.

#I love when people add cryptid lore to the batfam #so I one hundred percent see some of the robins as some scary as fuck trickster stuff before they evolve into something else #batman #batfamily #dc robins #did stephanie giggle? Idk but I'm adding her to the roster of terrifying child hero #dick grayson #jason todd #dami definitely wouldn't giggle #but he'd spook you in that inescapable relentlessly spooky unaffected ghost kid way #dc comics #tim seems like he'd do some unhinged shit #tim drake #steph brown

Prompt:

Damian isn’t happy about father’s rule not to hurt the gaggle of false kids he has acquired. How is he supposed to prove to him that he is the only one worthy of the title of heir now?

But fine. Most of them are stupid enough they’ll end up dead sooner or later. Damian just has to play the long game. Establish himself as the only constant.

But then father’s wayward son, Todd, comes home… and it’s so much worse than Damian expected.

He remembers this man. Remembers him from hushed whispers in the League, from mother’s creased eyebrow, and training halls drenched with blood.

And he’ll take one look at Damian and know. Know that he’s a threat to his position.

And the worst thing: Damian isn’t allowed to defend himself.

#Jason has no idea why the baby demon seems to be terrified of him #it’s kinda funny #all he’ll have to do is say boo and the kid very nearly faints on him #it’s less funny when they happen to be the only ones locked in a cell and Damian expects him to murder him in the most brutal fashion #like dang he thought Bruce really had a better opinion of him nowadays #also pls stop trying to stab me baby bat #misunderstandings #miscommunication #Jason doesn’t know what’s wrong with the new Robin but apparently he’s been tasked to keep him alive #and he’s making that friggin hard #jason todd #batfamily #dick grayson #bruce wayne #batfam #robin #red hood #tim drake #batman #prompts #Damian wayne #Damian al ghul #Nightwing #red robin #batdad #Jason and Damian

the thing about people writing tim as insecure is like yeah he is insecure and a little desperate and the cockiness is partly a defense mechanism. but he would NEVER actually let on that he is even remotely insecure. he's an unreliable narrator because he doesn't even let the reader know he's insecure most of the time. tim would rather disembowel himself with a grapefruit spoon than have even his closest loved ones know that he's a little insecure sometimes

#tim's (over)confidence is half justified cockiness and half severe allergy to emotions and vulnerability #is he desperate for approval and belonging and terrified of being abandoned? yes. #but he has a little hubris and by christ he will take it all the way #<- my interpretation at least #p #dc

Early Accident AU

So Danny becomes Phantom at like age 8 or something right. And everything goes just about similar to canon, including TUE. The only difference is that instead of the meeting being called because Danny cheated on a career aptitude test, it's now because his teacher is just worried about him and is staging a sorta intervention thing.

So anyway, Danny cannot stop the Nasty Burger explosion and ends up going to live with Vlad. Which isn't going well. He's constantly crying and feeling guilty for not stopping the incident. There's also the constant fear that he'll become Dan. Vlad is doing nothing to address any of this. Instead he's showing off his godson to anyone and everyone and bragging about how smart he is. In fact, that's exactly what he does when he gets invited to a Wayne Gala.

The bats take one look at this kid, who's eyes are still red from crying, being dragged around by his guardian and alarm bells immediately start ringing. Especially for Tim who experienced what it was like being dragged around to special events even when he was incredibly ill.

The bats get even more concerned when Vlad pulls his charge into a corner to scold him for looking miserable instead of comforting him. He's telling the kid stuff like only babies are allowed to get away with crying and that if he continues making the man look bad, he'll be punished when they get home.

Danny does his best to suck it up. He tries to push down all the swirling emotions surrounding his powers, the death of all his loved ones, and even the unprocessed trauma of his own death. He ends up going to the bathroom to try to splash some water in his face and calm down.

As he's making his way back to Vlad, he is intercepted by Tim. When this kind stranger sincerely asks him if he's ok, he breaks down. This is the first person to genuinely ask him how he's doing since he's family's death outside of people doing it for the sake of pleasantries.

Now the boy is absolutely ugly crying in front of this whole party of people and Vlad is not pleased to say the least. He tries to snatch Danny up and whisk him away but the bats intervene. Bruce says something about knowing how to console children as Dick ushers Danny into a separate room where Alfred is already waiting with some hot chocolate.

After a while Danny starts to calm down and he goes to wipe his eyes. As he's doing this, his sleeve slips down a little, revealing an arm covered in bandaids. To explain, it hasn't been that long since Danny came to live with Vlad. Couple that with his healing factor being slower due to his emotional state and he has a couple of small wounds still remaining from his fights that have yet to heal.

Of course the bats don't know where those wounds are from. All they know is that there's no way in hell Danny is leaving this manor with Vlad.

#dp x dc #dc x dp #dpxdc #dcxdp #winter's tales #danny isn't initially onboard with the whole thing #despite everything he still thinks of vlad like an uncle and doesn't want to leave him #but after the bats tell him 'look kid we're complete strangers and even we looked after you better than him' #he has no rebuttal #tim definitely takes the lead on this one #he looks at danny and sees so much of himself within him #which terrifies him #because he remembers just how much crap he went through at that age and beyond #and how good he was at hiding it #or downplaying it #he's determined not to let danny suffer the same fate

Got a scene idea but no where to put it. Feel free to steal:

Red Robin sighs, not unlike a parent disappointed in their child. “Riddler. I like your riddles and your games. I often look forward to trying to solve what you've set up."

Red takes a step closer until his collapsed bo staff is under the Rogue's chin. He tilts the man's head until they are making eye contact.

"If you ever try anything like this again, if you ever harm Robin again, I will cut your tongue out so you'll never utter another a riddle."

What if there is a world where Jack and Janet swapped, and who got the coma, etc.?

I mostly thought of this cuz I had an amusing thought at work that goes something like this: Ra's: "Your father must have quite the man, Timothy. With just how perfectly you turned out. " Tim: "No, I got it from my mother. And if you know what's best for you, stay away from her. " ---Time Skip--- Janet walks into Wayne Manor: "Timothy, what have I told you about letting your stuff lie about in its improper place?" Tim: "Not, too, Mother. I'm sorry for being so thoughtless." Janet hands Tim a suspicious jar: "I'll be merciful this time; your surgery is booked for tomorrow, so make sure to get your affairs in order." Janet turns to Damien and hands him a card. "This is out of courtesy, child. Make sure not to repeat the mistake. Either of you." She eyes Jason and Damien. "And Mr. Grayson, your thin ice too, for the attempted hospitalization of my Timomothy." And with that, she walks back out. Bruce hesitantly asks: "Tim... Why did Janet hand Damien a sorry for your loss card?" Tim: "Well, since I now have my spleen in the jar, Bruce, I'm pretty sure Ra's is dead."

Tim accidentally gets hit with some sort of magic spell during patrol and it severely alters his appearance/personality. The Batfam doesn’t take it well…

Zatanna: *reading from a book* “… warning signs: Severe alterations in appearance and personality. Such alterations can become permanent.”

Dick: *gasps* Permanent?! Those golden curls?

Stephanie: Those rosy cheeks?

Bruce: That smile?

Zatanna: “These terrifying changes are often a result of a troubled family life. Separations,…”

Bruce: Separations? You mean—

Cass: Jason!

Zatanna: Bingo! This kid knows that something’s not right around here! Unless Jason comes back, we’re talking dimples!

Bruce: NOT IN THIS HOUSE!

Zatanna: He could stay this way for years! Forever. He could become… *looks back at the book* a lawyer!

Bruce: *turning away angrily* I won’t listen!

Zatanna: An orthodontist!

Stephanie: *near tears* Zatanna, stop!

Zatanna: …President.

Cass: *closes her eyes in silent despair*

Alfred: *groaning and holding his head*

Dick: *clutching the railing* Please! I beg you, take me! *begins sobbing*

I think the Robins should have a “Robin for a Day”program. It starts with Tim after he gets fed up with the YJ team always complaining about how he acts.

Kon: Robin, you seriously need to loosen up a bit more. Chill, the whole world ain’t out to get ya

Tim, has not revealed his identity yet: This is what I’ve been trained to do. How about you spend a day with Batman, and then we’ll see who’s “paranoid”

Bart: bet

Tim somehow manages to manipulate convince Bruce that it is a good idea to let Bart be Robin for a night. Something something more training always better something something get him off my back please.

Bart goes out that night and wrecks Gotham’s shit

Tim is delighted by the efficiency. Bruce acknowledges that Bart was very useful and also is never allowed in Gotham again without explicit and detailed permission

And then the rest of YJ wants their turn. And it goes… well? They’re less rude about Tim’s Everything, at least. Dick hears about all of this going on and is like wait, my friends deserve a night too :( so the Titans and ex-Titans all get to run around with Batman for a night. Bruce treats them all just like he would Robin.

Eventually it’s like a rite of passage. You want to be a kid hero? Alright, I’m calling Batman ya little shit. Survive a night with him and then we’ll see how it goes.

Prompt 80

 So Dan knows that there’s heroes that have gone back in time, he’s aware of that fact. But he doesn’t exactly care and has more important things to worry about. Like the fact that Danny and Ellie are now three years old, right when he’s moving, though maybe that’s a blessing in disguise seeing as the GIW are searching for them in Amity. 

  But still, he has more important things to worry about than the speedster vibrating five feet away from him. Like making sure Ellie and Danny are alright to visit (ugh) Peepaw Clocky while he goes to work. 

  Ms. Mercy is not messing around, which he appreciates in a workspace, but he has to wait for another opening in the daycare before he can bring his, as far as everyone else is aware, siblings who he got emergency custody of. 

  What with how Jazz is interning in Gotham, they figured Metropolis would be safer. Now if the speedster would stop following him, he would really appreciate it. He’s literally just an intern under Ms Mercy as an assistant, not even one of the scientists, and it’s not like his timeline of the end of the world exists anymore! 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #de aged danny #dan works at lexcorp so mercy can have a break some days #Lex sees this as extra useful because dan can double as intimidation and a bodyguard #Oh he's a meta? Oh that's fine- Immune to mind control?! Well seeing as the alien in the city gets mind controlled every week heck yeah #Bart is fuckin terrified when he sees Dan & calls Tim because *holy fuck* it's the thing behind his nightmares #W-with a pair of kids? Fussing over the pair of kids??? #Double checking that they have their things to spend the day with their grandpa???? #Luthor: If I hire a meta I will have diversity and it's good for PR #Mercy: Yeah I just need to train someone to not take his shit y'know how it is #Dan: I just need enough money to not ask for cash from Vlad I am not dealing with his motherhenning #Dan: I moved away to not be fussed over and I am not dealing with him #Vlad on the phone: Son why am I hearing about being a grandpa why was I not informed :C #Clockwork: Ah yes more time with my grandchildren :) A perfect timeline

Whenever the JL starts complaining about YJs public image YJ just straight up gaslights them

#Yj starting rumors about themselves and staging fights to make the media and jl look crazy #yj fucking with reporters and just the general public is the funniest thing to me #After the jl lectures yj about their lack of professionalism there’s always a trashy tabloid spreading rumors about yj for the next 3 month #the jl: we need to talk about your lack of professionalism in the field- #yj pretending to be sad while holding a huge stack of trashy tabloids: this is what you’re basing your opinion on??
