Fics in the works

Updated 04/2023

Hey I know its been a while since I’ve properly published new fics. Honestly keep coming up with ideas but actually finishing them is the kicker.

Ngl I honestly feel like I need some betas for the works I’ve got going on and if any of these interest you then by all means feel free to message me! And yes some of these are still Maribat

The Winner Takes The Crown (Princess)

Got into DPxDC and decided to take a crack at it. As usual this thing was supposed to be a one-shot but is 18.9k words so far and counting so three-shot is more likely.

Summary: When members of the Team get sent out to scout an inconspicuous town in Indonesia with supposed hauntings and missing teens on the night of an eclipse surely nothing could go wrong, right?Meanwhile the Ghost King got tired of every old timey ghost royalty trying to get their hands on his little sister/cousin/clone and got an idea. Why not have them duke it out amongst each other for once. It'd be entertaining at the very least or a disaster waiting to happen at most--- at least that's what his newly appointed Fright Knight thought anyway

Chapters out so far: 1/3 AO3 Part 1

Who The Wayne Are You?!

Why not do a fusion of two crossover fandoms??? (Not sure if I’ll include any romantic ships)

Fortunately or unfortunately she’s not the only one in this dilemma--- He was sure that the spirit of Gotham had it out for him; the moment his sister left to go on the tour to Gotham U he gets pushed into a white van (cliché much?). On the bright side it wasn’t the Guys In White, down side the idiots can’t seem to agree if he’s Tim Drake, co-CEO of Wayne Enterprises, or Jason Todd, supposedly dead son of Bruce Wayne (he’s not sure if that’s quite true). Well at least he’s got company. “Ugh just my luck that I get kidnapped literally on my first day in Gotham” “Oh samesie”

Summary: Tim Drake’s 12 year old, almost but not yet 13, life was falling apart right before his very eyes and there was nothing he could do to stop it. His mother was dead and his father was paralyzed. To make matters worse his father found out about Robin and was vehemently against it; so much so that he was sending Tim away. Turns out Janet Drake wasn’t his biological mother, his parents had used a surrogate. A woman named Sabine Cheng who lived in Paris alongside her husband and daughters. Turns out Tim was a twin; his parents only wanted the son.

As much as he wants to hate this new family he can’t help but crave the affection they provide, the warmth and comfort , that his parents never could. As much as Tim would miss being Robin he had Mari and that was enough. Who knows maybe he’d go back to the Life later on in life?

She couldn’t really explain it but it seemed strange that the students were adorned with symbols; Red Hearts, Yellow Diamonds, Green Clovers and Blue Spades. What did this all mean and why were those without them ostracized? Was this also why Marinette seemed to have a whole wardrobe change and was now friends with mean girl Chloe?

Well it was up to Jess and reluctantly Damian to find out what was the root of the problem alongside sunshine duo Jon and Aeon, also known as the Seasonal Court while also trying to figure out how to offer their help with the Hawkmoth situation.

A snake in the nest

I think most people would have no idea of who Danny Temple is (he was in like, one arc of the Robin comic and was then gone), so resume: In Robin #82, while Robin is having difficulties in his relationship with Spoiler because he refuses to give her his secret identity, he meets a guy named Danny he strike somewhat of a friendship with, but the guy has a barcode tattoo on a foot and a massive scar over his body, so Tim is suspicious.

The plotline really gets picked up again in Robin #88, when Tim and Danny go on vacation (after Bruce landed on the “Dick moves” side of the spin coin and revealed Tim’s identity to Spoiler so that she go check on him because Bruce doesn’t want to be confronted by Alfred) and Danny gets kidnapped by robots of the Kobra cult (Who has a whole thing for conjoined twins, in comics lore. That’s the origin of the scar, separated twins) because he was one of the most likely candidates to become the new leader after the previous one had too many failures.

Unfortunately, Robin’s at-the-time nemesis King Snake wanted access to the Lazarus Pit the himalaya base of Kobra had (only accessible with the barcode on Danny’s feet) because he had lost his eyesight previously. And the previous leader wasn’t ready to back down from his position, even after the cult tried to murder him. The story ended in Robin #92 with King Snake blind again, the previous Naja-Naja possibly dead, and Danny leader uncontested.

AND NEXT TIME Kobra is back, EVE, the original Kobra leader AND King Snake’s lover and assistant, last seen crushed by a pillar on the lower half and shot by the previous leader, has taken over, and there is ZERO mention of Danniel/Danny! (Due to the fact Danny wanted to make Kobra neutral, and that wouldn’t have been interesting for the writers, I guess.) Oh, also. The paging in #92 is confusing, but I think it implies Daniel knows who Tim is? (Because more people know who tim is than people know who Steph, Kon, Cassandra, maybe even Damian and Jason are

Also, Tim. TimtimTim! You were supposed to be the “normal one”. Why do your male friends include: A half-kryptonian clone, a speedster from the future, Conner Hawke, a prince who used a magical artifact to send a demon hired to kill him after the summoner, the possible leader of a cult raised by who were implied to be robots, Buzz, who was implied to have a mystery involving HIS family that went nowhere, the daughter of a mafia boss who was resurrected as a crazy magician… BERNARD is the most normal person he ever met, no wonder he got a crush on him! Probably means Tim can look at Waller, say “Kneel, Peasant!” and get away with it, though, so that’s nice!

It starts on a day like any other. Bernard is watching the latest edition of the Daily Planet news in his boyfriend’s apartment. He scoffs at the fact that they believe the new Superman is the previou’s son all grown up and not obviously a clone like the two previous ones. Lois Lane still knows nothing about Superman after all those years. Distressful.

He looks at the sleeping form of his boyfriend on his knees. Don’t get him wrong, Bernard will always find sleeping!Tim is adorable, but it seems Tim has decided that his dates with Bernard are the only moments of the day where he would sleep. And that is hurting the relationship a lot more than the millionaire seems to think it does.

What’s the point of dating someone if they are never conscious enough to listen to you when you actually get to meet, which is not enough, in Bernard’s opinion. Even if he understands being the likely prince of a mafia group means Tim doesn’t have much sleep at night. Bernard is hurt that Tim doesn’t want to admit that part of his life. He tries to throw hints at his boyfriend that he knows, but Tim is completely oblivious.

Or is much better at acting than he is given credit for, but Bernard has seen him trying to lie. Would be hilarious if he wasn't trying to hide such important things. Suddenly, Tim’s phone rings. Tim, ever the light sleeper, which Bernard finds sad because that means he can’t touch his boyfriend’s hair while he sleeps, is on his two feet in an instant.

“Danny? I haven’t heard from him in years!” And he goes into the bathroom to have a private discussion. Of course, like any good boyfriend, Bernard tries to listen through the door. It’s a Gotham thing, you wouldn’t understand. The sound of Tim running towards the door makes Bern run towards the couch. Thankfully, Tim is never a very observant man, so he completely misses the fact that Bernard accidentally fell into the couch in a very undignified way.

A few instant laters, or minutes, but who cares about that, Tim is entering with a dark-haired guy with a pointed chin and a look that screams “I'm handsome and smart, and I know it”. Bernard has to refrain himself from gripping Tim and growling at the intruder. Tim makes the introductions. “So, Bernard, this is Danny Temple. We were at Brentwood Academy together for a time. Danny,” and Tim beams with pride, which reassures the conspiracy theorist after the odd wording, “this is my boyfriend Bernard Dowd. I met him at the Louis E. Grieve Memorial High School after I transferred from Brentwood.” Danny looks impressed.

“And you have stayed together since then? Impressive! Congrats, Tim! That does explain why you didn’t care about the girls when we were at the beach!” That does reassure Bernard. Apparently, it was only his fears that led him to see a rival. Tim blushes. “Oh. N-No! We didn’t date back then, but we met again, we started dating!” Daniel opens his mouth like a fish in comprehension. “Ohhhhhh! okay. Now, maybe I didn’t come at the right time? I wanted to ask for your help, but you might want to finish the date first, or?” “Tim’s help with what?” Bernard is genuinely confused.

Danny gives Tim the stink-eyes. “You told him. Right?” Tim isn’t looking at either of them. “Told him what? I have no… Is this money.” “No. Tim, come on, you two are dating, you should-” Tim shows a surprising amount of strength; not so surprising, thinks Bernard, he might hide it, but Tim has some seriously ripped muscles; grabbing the man, holding him over his head, and running into the bedroom. Bernard scoffs. That bedroom has sound-proof everything. He never was certain why, but at least, it won’t be used to hide sex noises given the fact Daniel seemed fine with the relationship.

Still, he is wondering, “What are they talking about?”

I throw Daniel on the bed. I realize he is wearing his- “Daniel, you’re walking around with your Naja-Naja armor underneath your clothes???” I only receive a look in response. I unbutton my shirt to show him. “See, no robin suit.” My old friend isn’t looking impressed. “Yeah, because it would be hard to explain if you take off your clothes in front of your boyfriend why you have a robin suit.”

He is right, but I am not going to give him that.

Anyway,” I decide to distract him, “why do you need Robin for? Kobra was back to being evil in no time, with no news of you.” Suddenly, I panic. “Oh my god, you’re a clone of the now dead Danny, aren’t you.” He looks part-offended, part-horrified that I reach this conclusion. “What, no! Tim, I had to regain strength and rebuild my power slowly on my own. Also, Eve didn’t get back the entirety of Kobra, thank you very much. No, the problem is that we are in a full-blown war, currently, and my spies reported to me that this bitch is planning something against batman, to show off how cool and powerful she is.” he is putting air quotes when saying “cool” and “powerful”, and seems to respect her as much as Tim respect Crazy Quilt.

“So, we need to stop Lady Eve. Okay. Something else? Having the support of part of the Kobra cult will help a lot. Thanks, Dan.” Danny moth’s twitches. “Actually…” Now, it is I who gives him a dead-pan expression. “Given how much Batman and others have stopped the plans of the Kobra group, even my spies aren’t angry at Eve for trying to kill your mentor. Actually, my counselors are recommending that I take her by surprise with a plan to take out Batman first.”

I facepalm and think of everything possible. After an instant, Danny asks: “You’re thinking about..?” “Should I give you coordinates of rogues to make a very impressive display, do I give you weaknesses to use so that we almost loses against your agents in exchange for infos regarding lady eve’s schemes, should I pretend you brainwashed me to join, because i am NOT even pretending to join Kobra willingly, friendship be damned!” He looks a bit hurt at it, but I think he understands why. Even if my support could help. Or maybe it would convince members of his side of the cult to leave.

I sigh. “Can… you give me a day to get a working plan. Also, I would like to get the most you can give me about Lady Eve’s plan. Please?” He rises up off the bed. “Of course. Thank you, Tim.”

Bernard is surprised that the conversation didn’t last longer when he sees the door unlock. He grabs his phone and takes a picture as soon as that Danny guy shows up in the crack of the door, before hiding said phone. Maybe that will help him identify who Tim is hanging with.

Danny closes the door with “Once again, thank you. Tim. It reassures me that you are ready to help.” Tim seems to have mixed feelings. Bernard gets really worried about what his boyfriend got involved in.

Afterwards, it’s very awkward as the both of them are trying to come up with a credible lie to shorten their date, all plans forgotten. Bernard can’t even remember what he said to Tim as he closes the door, besides a “See you soon, Timmy!”

He puts his head in his hands to muffle his screams in the corridor as he waits for the elevator.

And Danny Temple doesn’t seem to exist. True, Bernard can find his name in the records of Brentwood Academy, but he apparently never finished his studies. And he has no online presence on any social media. rather weird for a handsome guy like that. Also, Brentwood is a private academy located near Gotham. That means money. Lots of money. So how the hell does Bernard come back empty-handed? The fact that there are many people named Danny Temple doesn’t help him either.

It’s not until much later, when Bernard is going through lists for international terrorists, expecting nothing, that he finds him. And he let his mug of coffee drop on his bed, spilling its content everywhere.

DANNY TEMPLE: One of the leaders of the Kobra Cult. Searched in 42 countries for terrorism, thiefs, blackmailing of US official, hijacking of a sattelite…

Well, lots of it seems to have been done by a guy named Kobra, AKA Jeffrey Franklin Burr. Danny Temple is considered to have agreed with those opinions and the attempts to destroy the US, but Bernard couldn’t find anything the Kobra cult had done recently in terrorism that weren’t connected to a woman nicknamed “Lady Eve”. And there were rumors of on-going power plays and tensions inside the cult.

Still, even if Temple was “only” a random cult leader, that he tried to get close to a mafia leader like Tim was worrisome. Even if it was simply an alliance for guns, Bernard wasn’t super keen on his bf dealing with a cult. Nevermind all that! Giving GUNS to Terrorists???? He had to go see Tim immediately!

And here is what I am reduced to.

“Please, Jason! You’re the only one I can trust to not hold my friendship with a member of Kobra against me! Please help me!”

“Timothy, I am NOT helping Kobra, even if it’s a nicer Kobra. I may be a gang leader, I have standards. And I am not screwing my already tenuous relationship with Bruce”

When you spit his name like that, no wonder he doesn’t like you, Jay.

“To make you happy!” “We can work together on it! Say it was my idea but I want the plan to stay between you and I! It’s true, and Bruce will leave you alone!” I feel humiliated, begging Jason on his knees. The fact he came in his full armor and I’m in my sweater is not helping. I look like a dumb member of Gotham’s elite who, like most, over-though his importance.

It's in this especially awkward situation that Bernard slams the door open.

“Tim, I- red HOOOOOD?????!!!! OMG! No, please, don’t hurt my boyfriend! I know he did bad things, well, actually, I know he did bad things but not sure why, I was ready to let his mafia stuff unaddressed-”

My boyfriend thinks I’m part of the mafia. What. Jason gives me a look. He might have his helmet on, but I can tell his body image is a “WTF, Timothy.”. I sweat even harder. Jason, thanks whatever deity he believes in, doesn’t take advantage of the situation to spread slander. I would have, in his position.

“What? Mister whatever, I’m not planning on killing him. Jeez. There are so many people who deserve it more. No, your… fffrriend, here.” He called me his boyfriend, Jason, you can call me that, damnit. Oh God, is Jason? “Decided to call for my help, and I’m not feeling generous today.”

Bernard rushes to grab him protectively. "Don't worry, Tim. It’s about that kobra guy who showed up earlier on. Does he have blackmail material on you? you know I used to be in a pain cult before, tight? You can talk to me about things like that.” I’m uncertain about how to respond to his scared face, and then, The Red hood just leaves like that. Me and Bernard are so shocked that I don't realize at first he is calling Dick. Fuck.

It’s then that Tim realizes he is running on adrenaline and crashes to the floor out of unwelcome relief.

Bernard tucks Tim in his bed, but doesn’t join him. He is too excited to join him, even if he needs the sleep too. Holy shit! Tim was able to contact Red Hood! HOW? An ex-robin, one of those who survived and became their own heroes! Albeit, given the changes in behavior Red Hood manifested throughout the years, Bernard wouldn’t be surprised if they were at least three people who occupied the costume. maybe five. And then, he is reminded of his suspicions there were multiple Batmen and he looks back at his notes on his phone.

Suddenly, he realizes the Red Hood left the window open. Would be bad if the current Batman showed up. But when Bernard enters the living room, he is shocked to encounter two of the Bagirls, the signal, Nightwing, the newest Robin, didn’t he leave, Batwoman and Red Hood. Bernard would call this a reunion of Gotham vigilantes, but. How many people are missing? Batman, Red Robin, Spitfire, Batgirl #3, Ghostmaker, Nightwing, Clownhunter, Catwoman, The Question… He is so occupied counting them that he doesn’t hear the first time Nightwing coughs.

“Hum, excuse me… Civilian, but could we talk with Tim Drake? Privately, if possible?” Even if it’s said in the nicest way possible, and they all look awkward meeting him, Bernard isn’t exactly feeling safe. “Well, uh. He fainted, so maybe later?” Oh dear Lord, did he just say “Later” to a superhero that isn’t even located in this city?

They all seem shocked he dared say that too. The current Robin even says: “Well, he at least chose a man who stands his ground. Kind of needed.” Bernard is taken aback. “Tim is known for being pushy? Since when?” New waves of glances exchanged between the Gotham Knights. Bernard is getting annoyed.

“Well, Tim isn’t disponible, try again tomorrow.” And Bernard turns his head and walks out on them. On the inside, he is panicking more than that time their school was attacked and he saw Darla die in front of him. He notices the spoiler look-alike Batgirl runs towards the bedroom. He is not quick enough to stop her. She sounds surprised when she opens the door. “Seriously?!?” “Shhh!!!! You’re going to wake him up, and he is never sleeping at a decent hour!”

Bafflingly enough, she seems to actually be ashamed. Who would have thought a superhero could feel bad. The group discreetly escaped while he was looking at her, and she gave him the slip by the entrance door when he noticed that. Bernard double-lock the window and sits on the couch to keep watch.

Sadly, even with all that, he ends up sleeping too.

I woke up in a panic. And get confused. I'm in my bed. Jason wouldn’t have done that, and he already left anyway. But why isn’t Bernard with me in bed? I think of what we could do in bed together and I blush hard. I frown when I open up my phone, expecting him to have left a message. Instead, Barbara sent me a text telling me to come. that’s in the intervention. Jason! I quickly put my costumes on and leave by the window. Bernard probably went back home.

I arrive at the cave thinking of excuses. “Well, excuse me. I have this friend who’s part of Kobra and I know it’s bad news, and I promise I don’t agree with his idea of keeping it running.”

“You WHAT, Drake!!!!!?!” Damian shrieks. I notice everyone besides Bruce and Luke are here. Jason is covering his head in shame, and everyone looks horrified. Cassandra is first to get her senses back. “We here… Talk.. you boyfriend.” Oh. OH. OH NO.

“Why do we need to talk about it? It’s not like you guys always tell your civilian dates!” Dick is the one who talks back. “Timmy. He thinks you’re in the mafia.” Touché. Stephanie goes on the offensive, oh shit! “Tim. If you don’t tell him this week, I WILL.” She lets her threat hang in the open. And I know her. We dated for several years. She will put it into practice.

I shake my hands. “No need, Steph. I was planning on telling him.”

When? You never told Ariana, Zoanne or Tamara. Cassie knew already when you started dating and Bruce is the one who told Staph.

Shut up, guilt. And she seems to have the same train of thought as I did, because her face becomes notably harsher. Cassandra states what everyone knows. “Liar.” Suddenly, I feel Kate’s hands on my shoulders and I tense. “And now, what is this about a friend of yours being part of Kobra, Robin…”

Bernards wakes up and is shocked to see Tim is gone, his window opened. A quick search shows the window was opened from the inside. Suddenly, a knock is heard at the door. Bernard is shocked to see that terrorist dude. “You live with Tim… Bernie?” “Bernard.”

The blond grabs his boyfriends’ blackmailer and brings him inside, before shoving his finger in the other man's muscular torso repetitively. “And Tim’s not there. I’m not sure where he is. But. I. Think. It. Has. Some. Thing. To. Do. With. Red. Hood. Showing. Up. Last. Night.” Wow, he needs to take some breaths. Bernard is so focused on his panting he doesn’t notice the look of fear on Danny’s face. “I hope your boyfriend is okay.” That surprises Bernard. “You say that only because you need him for whatever Kobra has planned”, he spits with a harsh expression. The dark-haired cult leader is shocked and actually steps back a little, before shouting. “HOW DARE-”

“Hello you two! Now, can we get you separated? Mister Temple, we want to talk to you about what we can do to stop Lady Eve. And… Bernard Dowd? I think Tim Drake has something to tell you.”

Huntress and the silent Batgirl escort Bernard to Tim’s room. He is sitting on his chair, which he dragged in the middle of the room. Then, the two are left almost alone, with only Spoiler-Batgirl staying to look over them. Bernard opens his mouth. “So… This is the moment where you tell me you’re going to jail, isn’t it.” The Batgirl slaps her face and groans.

Tim seems to hesitate. He starts many phrases, then whispers something in a language Bernard doesn’t even know. Tired, Bernard turns towards the girl. “You know what he means?” She looks uncomfortable. “Well, yes, but…” “WAIT!” Shouts Tim. “I’mrobubyudon’guyed…” Bernard exchanges a quick glance with the woman, before they both turn towards Tim. “Yeah. Hum? Sweetheart? You’re going to need to talk louder for me to try to understand what you mean.” Tim gets a lot redder than Bernard ever saw him and gives a pleading look to Batgirl. SHe sighs and goes to the closet.

Bernard looks, intrigued, and is shocked when she clicks on an invisible button, which opens to reveal: “A Robin costume? Why does Tim have THAT! I thought the Waynes were like criminals?”

His boyfriend makes a sputtering sound and hides his face in his hands while Batgirl rolls on the floor laughing.

"WHAT???" Shouts Bernard. She rips her mask and takes off her hood. "Stephanie Brown!" Bernard is shocked to see Tim's ex, now sister, is Red Robin's ex. A light bulb burst into his mind. "Tim, you're an ex-Robin? But I thought you guys were adopted BEFORE becoming Robin!" Steph looks like she is dying of laughter and Tim is trying to disappear, with how small he is making himself.

Then, the reveal truly sets in, and Bernard has to sit on the bed. After some thinking, he only says: "Tim, you're a… superhero?" He sounds hurt. Tim runs towards him and kneels by his side to look him in the eyes. "I'm sorry. I never told anyone, you know? Besides some teammates. Even Stephanie didn't know who Robin was when he started dating Spoiler."

Tears spill from Bern's eyes. "So, you keep secrets from everyone you know? Tim, how am I supposed to trust you when I won't be able to take anything you say as face value. I-" He hugs Robin… Tim.

As they whisper things to one another and Stephanie goes to the door to give them space, Damian enters. "Drake, I think you had enough time to talk. Now, come on, we have plans to… Oh."

Stephanie drags the young Wayne by the ears. "Come on, Damien. They need some time to deal with it."

Bernard is clutching his sofa so much he wonders if he is going to break it. He can see the images on the screen repeat in his head.

A massive attack from Lady Eve in a bank, trying to bring out Batman. Suddenly being attacked by Black Mask's gang, who was planning a robbery. Nightwing, wearing a snake-theme mind control helmet, sent by the Naja-Naja, whoever that was. Batman being caught by a rival faction of Kobra who wanted to get to him before Eve.

The massive brawls that resulted, in which Sionni almost killed Nightwing- Dick, Tim would have been devastated, by slashing his throat. Tim arrived late, because traffic is terrible in Gotham for a motorbike rider like him. The batmobile can fly at least. Or is the batcopter truly a different thing?

His phone distracts him. It's Tim sending a pic in costume. "Don't worry, Bernie, nobody was massively hurt."

"Don't call me that to distract me from the fact Dick almost died, asshole!"

Tim doesn't answer for a moment, but Bernard can see he is typing a lot.

"Yeah, sorry babe. I'm coming over?"

Bernard hesitates. His fingers stay above his phone for what feels like hours.

"Yes. We need to talk about security. I love you too much to stomach seeing you so much of you throwing yourself like that."

And that's true. Tim was fighting like he didn't care that he got hurt. Red Robin/this Robin often did, and Bernard was always worried. But now that he knows it's Tim…

He hears the flutter of his boyfriend's cape in the wind and smiles at the man opening his window.

"So, a conspiracy theorist who thought we were criminals and was part of a cult? You could have picked better." Damian complains.

I pretend to look at my phone. "Oh, gosh, robin! Never thought about it! Maybe the Rhafi of Dhabar would be better suited indeed! I haven't talk to him in some time, but-"

"What?"

"Or, I know! Do you think Bruce would accept a speedster as my boyfriend if I told him the other options are an amazon or a half-kryptonian?"

"Drake, I. You."

"Maybe I should see how the third Lynx is doing, but she might remind dad of Selina too much."

"Who?"

"Maybe. Or maybe I should seek Darla out. What do you think of me dating a mafia leader's daughter with magical power? Don't worry, she's good now."

"Drake, why are you like this?"

"Trauma, my dear Damian. Trauma."

hello yes have a timangelinovoi au because why not

below the cut because i kind of let myself ramble on and it got a bit long

the relationship started when artemis jr was in hybras and the three adults bonded over his absence

like...bonded bonded

as a result, myles is biologically tim's and beckett is biologically butler's

still twins but ya know. they ain't identical

anyways, none of them actually care and all three adults love the twins equally

in fact they only found out after arty was back and did the blood tests for them for the sole purpose of figuring out any different medical details of the twins based on genetic factors

turns out: the butler genes have a whole bunch of poison resistance basically bred in. helpful for when beckett eats whatever bugs he can get his hands on.

arty was obvs thrown by this situation but overall pleased that 3 out of the like 10 people he actually cares about were all happy

though because the fowls are aristocracy and in the public eye, they keep the parentage of the twins under wraps to avoid excess scrutiny on their lifestyle and heckling of their children. they just let everyone think beckett gets his colouring from his mother's side.

butler doesn't care that no one knows he has a biological son, it helps keep everyone safe. family tradition of going to Ko's be damned. he knows what that lifestyle entails: pain and loneliness and danger. he wanted a softer life for his sister and he def wants a softer life for his kid(s). (he views arty as a younger brother, but both myles and beckett as sons) (shit's weird in their family dynamics)

"'Butler is family. You know that, brother.'" <- canonical line in TLG from arty to myles/ gobdaw so yeah that checks out

juliet also couldn't care less. her brother is 22 years older than her and she was raised alongside artemis jr herself and doesn't appear to have spent much time with her parents so the nuclear family set-up seems weird to her. this actually makes more sense in her mind.

the adults don't even really bother telling the twins. they figure it out, cause they're smart. but it's never a big deal

actually you know what it is a big deal for like two months where each of the fowl children feels alienated from the rest of the family

artemis jr because he never had a friendly father figure and the twins get two, and this all started with his disappearance, so like..there's a lot of 'was i replaced by everyone i care about' to deal with

myles because he has to contend with being the second genius child after artemis and doesn't have quiet as much of a buffer as 'at least i'm smarter than beckett' to fall back on knowing his twin has different genetic makeup

beckett because his biological dad can't ever really be referred to as such outside of the household and he is a sensitive soul who feels bad about that, and because he thinks it makes him too different from his brothers

they all (kids + adults) talk it out, much crying and hugging and ice cream, and everyone agrees that it really doesn't matter at all and they are family regardless of blood or genes or whatever

(also helps make arty's death and resurrection as a clone go down easier. who cares about the flesh and blood, it's the person that matters)

back to the 'calling butler dad' thing: myles also feels weird about that because butler is a father to him and beck and should be referred to as such and he can't figure out how to make that happen without being weird

they all agree that butler's role as a bodyguard is severely compromised by this relationship so he retires and drops some of the formality

which means he lets the fowls call him "D" in public (but glares at anyone else who tries to use anything other than "butler")

it's a nod to his given name (which tim and angeline of course know by now, though they and artemis jr also call butler "Dom" at home with no one else around)

myles and beckett use it as shorthand for "dad"

butler as a not-bodyguard is stupidly physically affectionate with everyone and gives excellent piggy back rides and it is not uncommon to find him stuck on the couch or a chair or the bed or whatever while everyone else takes naps on/ around him

anyways. that's all i've got, thanks for coming to my ted talk

#artemis fowl #artemis fowl au #timangelinovoi au #jesus that's a mouthful of a ship name

Lex Luthor trying to be like a not terrible dad and be supportive but is definitely off the mark;

Tim and Kon get married, he is there like unsure how affectionate to be but is like, here's the original Luthor farm because idk he doesn't use it and they clearly have a place in Gotham but Connor loves Smallville so maybe they want a place there and mercy and several parenting books are like sentimental things are good though, this is a good idea. And it is tbf. Connor can still do farm chores at the Kent's and stuff but they have their own space and can like add to it. It becomes like less haunted by the terrible childhoods had there over a few years.

Timeskip, slightly

They've been married like over 3 1/2 years and Lex while getting better is still lacking some like emotional intelligence and awareness, genius doesn't mean smart in all ways. So he's always given gifts on theme to the classic wedding anniversary themes which at 4 years is fruit or flowers which is stumping him to plan. Because like sure he could gift them like enough trees to plant a sizeable orchard but that doesn't seem like it's hitting the mark and Bruce can definitely gift them that with like extra oomph from Dr.Isley (because obviously, the gift giving is still in a way a competition between inlaws) So he's looking over the files he has on both of them, and a parenting book, and as he flicks through the files there's like the closest thing to a baby photo Conor has, which is a small tube with a blob. But this sparks a train of thought that goes through several stations and none of them are common sense ville in Lex's head right. Fruit > Fruitful Loins > Children > Expertise in Kryptonian human blended clones > A gift only I could easily do for them > Average time in a marriage before having kids > current public opinion of the couple > increase in public standing for them and me by having kids > ?? > Wins all round tbh!

It's not necessarily hard for lex to get both their DNA, but it takes some time and then getting viable clones is another little bit so he's delayed on getting it to them. So they get an anniversary card ( hand delivered by mercy who's so happy to not be around "Soon to be a grandfather" Lex Luthor) and it says something along the lines of sorry your gift this year is slightly late, my plans were going perfectly so I blame their tardiness on the Kryptonian" So they call Clark to be like Hey, did you bust any of lexs more morally dubious plots recently because looking at this card it seems like you did, not mad though, just let us know. He's like no, I didn't, I'll like scope it out though, btw here's a weird Kryptonian house plant for the apartment that I got Ivys help to grow, happy anniversary. Tim is slightly worried because Clark comes back being like nope, it's all a-ok, totally fine. But like he can't do much because him and Connor have a Hawaiian holiday booked to just relax and be themselves, nice anniversary present from Bruce (While he brings several hundred trees to the farm and Ivy to plant them so a surprise orchard appears when they get back - let's see lex top this) they come back after a week and the next day...

Meanwhile Clark went to go talk to Lex to be like I hope you're not doing anything too weird because like co-parenting is weird but don't scar our son anymore right. Only Lex is like at yet another secret lab checking final development on the fraternal twins so when Clark finally tracks him down (mercy ignored him for a solid 5 hours because she had too much cover work to do and also no patience for this) he's standing in a classic evil pose watching a pair of growth chambers with babies in them. (He says it's just a power pose and it's kind of a default for him after years in board meetings) Clark is immediately like dude what the actual fuck! Why did you try and make more clones when your parenting at the moment is freaking out the son we do have?? "Aah, but these aren't our children, they are our grandchildren." Pauses for dramatic effect "Do you think Kon-El and Timothy will appreciate the gift of children the way their parents have not?" Clark bluescreens. Reboots. Thinks really hard at super speed. And then starts politely asking Lex questions to find out why, how, have you talked to anyone else about this plan at all, why again, etc. Lex's train of thought finally gets diverted for an emergency service in common sense ville. Communication is a thing, that he has not done. But at this point it will ruin the surprise and this way you can say you knew about the grandchildren before batman "The worlds greatest Dective" so please don't tell them.

A definitely not misty eyed Batman steps out of the shadows of this lab "We won't tell them, that's for you. Though I will make sure Alfred prepares the nursery" He will say he found it through detective work and careful following - he tracker tagged Clark and once it took more than three hours for him to find and talk to Lex, Bruce was prepped to Zeta wherever he found Lex and provide backup because he was also sus of the in-law. Clark goes home and tells Lois and she's like, normally parents just complain and guilt you into having kids like yours did, not decide it was taking too long so I'll make them for you and hand them over wrapped in a nice blanket. But this is Lex so she isn't as surprised and also excited because babies.

Batman and Superman have totally been acting weird this whole week which only like a dozen people noticed but one of them was the Flash so there's a JL betting pool on why. The only thing they can for sure tell is that it's good news. Tim and Conor get called for a Titans mission as soon as they get back from holiday and even though it's short it's tiring but like Bart fills them in afterwards about the Goss while they wash up before heading back to the Gotham penthouse and neither of them have any idea about why their dads are acting weird, it disturbs them.

Next morning they're having a slight lie in, or that was the plan if not for them hearing the intercom buzz and the faint sounds of crying babies while Lex asks politely to be let up. Tim doesn't actually hear this, being an insomniac who needs sleep and cuddles, but Connor does and him getting up to let Lex+ in disturbs Tim. They get dressed and make coffee while Luthor is in the elevator. Tim is drinking gods nectar when Connor moves to let Lex in who comes in with a pair of the fanciest nappy bags slung over his shoulder and a file folder. Mercy (the ever tired absolute boss in need of a payrise) is behind him pushing a double buggy which she pushes into the apartment and then leaves to let them have privacy while she gets the rest of the stuff. Tim starts drinking the coffee faster when he sees the buggy because he's not awake enough yet. Connor asks whos are the kids. Lex is like "Yours, I informed you that your gift for your anniversary would be slightly late. You'll need to pick names for them in the next three days and fill out the forms located in this file to register the birth. Don't worry we've got paper work to show they were created as part of an experimental surrogacy program for LexCorp so no one will know they're created with cloning technology" He's said this barefaced to try and not give away that he's nervous about their reactions. Tim does a spit take and Connor Bluescreens.

--- more to follow maybe at some point. Free to a good home if someone wants to actually write it out and make English good because accidental baby aquisition and TimKon parenting is a fic we all need more of ---

✨ Missy’s Fanfiction Extravaganza✨

A shout out to some fics that I've read, fallen in love with, and believe deserve more recognition. Stories not restricted by fandom or website, though I will stick to either AO3 or Fanfiction.net. Please pay attention to the tags for triggers/squicks!

Killing the Joke by LtSaladmander (5/?)

If you were to make a list of the entire population of Gotham, in order of most to least likely to finally kill the Joker, a random exhausted college student wouldn’t even be on it.

Paz didn’t really think much of killing Gotham’s resident psychotic clown (he was just right there and what else was she supposed to do? She couldn’t afford to be any later to her class) but now every villain and their aunt seem to want to prove themselves better than the late Clown Prince of Crime. She just would love for everyone to stop breaking down her door because she really, really can’t afford to keep replacing it.

Love Song by orphan_account (1/1)

Part 16 of Tidbits

“You cannot be serious.” protests Damian.

It had been Tim’s initial reaction to his counterpart’s declaration, too. Even after seeing the lie, realizing the deception, he’d wondered why. Why go with Drake. Why something so obvious.

Then he’d seen the genius behind the plan.

or, Tim , Damian, and nicknames

all these stars are silent by distracted_dragon (1/1)

If there is one singular truth in the universe, it is this: Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne will never allow any harm to be inflicted on Conner Kent ever again.

Arachnophobia by damthosefandoms (1/1)

The entire family is packed into a minivan. It’s 2am, they’re going 80 miles an hour, and Damian has the audacity to point out that there’s a spider on the inside of the car window.

Boku no Hero Academia

your rule of thumb by dinomight (1/1) (+ the unofficial sequel)

“This year’s Top Sexiest Female Hero rankings are out!” the reporter chirps, a wide, pleasant smile on her face, and not for the first time Nemuri wonders how this woman can so happily read something that is so thoroughly disgusting. Then again, she’s managed to hold entire conversations with Endeavor without showing that she desperately wants to punch him in the throat, so. “Looks like the new number one is recently debuted Mount Lady, bumping last year’s number one Midnight to number two—”

She changes the channel with a roll of her eyes, but the next news report is covering the same thing. And the next.

(Or: Midnight gets fed up.)

electricity and you: a handbook by sunflowersandillusions (1/1)

Control, Ojiro had said. God, that word. That perpetual stain on his primary school report card under the “classroom behavior” section: Denki needs to work on exhibiting better self control in class. The verbal weapon of choice of a gruff Aizawa-sensei against a short-circuiting Denki, just returning to a functioning state after his second ill-advised Indiscriminate Shock in a week (dammit, he’d been getting better with not overdoing it lately, too): “I know you know this by now, Kaminari. Your voltage levels are plenty high; strength isn’t the issue for you. What you need to work on is control.”

Maybe that whole meditation thing is the way to go, then, Denki figures. If it gives him an in to fixing all... this *gestures widely*.

—

Denki takes up meditation in a bid to gain some greater degree of control over his Quirk. It's not very "him", he knows, but anything for people to finally see him as the help he wants to be.

my god, i'm so lonely by Kaleid369 (1/1)

Tōru is four years old when her Quirk first manifests. It happens slowly, gradually, and she doesn’t notice until it’s too late.

It starts with her hands.

Hagakure Tōru grows up far too fast.

with hands like ghosts by rhymae (1/1)

Anger, Izuku is learning, is a fickle thing.

Because despite everything, he still wants to make it right. He wants to keep Todoroki's idea of what makes a hero alive, wants to forget the burning of childhood across his fingertips. He wants to keep everyone safe.

Izuku wants them both to be anything but the embodiment of what has happened to them.

He meets Todoroki’s eyes, “We're here because we earned it, Todoroki-kun. Us, and no one else."

Or, Izuku, the methodology of trauma, a series of conversations, & the price of being named one side of a same coin.

Danny Phantom

Missing Persons by DP_Marvel94 (2/2)

Part 5 of Phic Phight 2020

For the Phic Phight: A halfa is half human and half ghost. Danny learns the dark truth of how Vlad created all of those fully grown clones.

Out of Body Experience by avearia (1/1)

Part 14 of Phic Phight 2019

Dash is having the weirdest dream. …It is a dream, right?

Gravity Falls

Mabelgram by scribefindegil (1/1)

Part 1 of Mabel Pines vs. The Multiverse

Mabel gives herself a pep talk. Actually, she gives it to all her selves.

Unidentical Twins by Yevynaea (1/1)

When they’re eleven, Mabel cheerfully coins the term ‘unidentical twins’ and Dipper can’t deny it fits.

#missy’s fanfiction extravaganza #I have Far Too Many Bookmarks and sometimes I’ll read one and be like #this was amazing!! stunning!!! my jaw is on the FLOOR!!!#and then it’ll only have like 2 comments and 30 hits #also surprise!

What Makes a Family? Pt10

AO3 Beginning Previous Next

“You need to take his Miraculous now. Honestly I’d be fine if he was just sitting out but his reckless behavior is causing problems and he won’t listen to you or anyone else when they point it out. “ Marinette just sighed at Kagami’s words as they walked into the living room. They’d all been taking turns since the fight ended to convince her of the necessity.

“You need to tell me who that boy is so I can go beat some sense into him.” Her Maman’s complaint just got a weak smile. She’d refused to tell them for that very reason.

“There’s no need, I told him to meet me tonight.” She could hear how tired she was which meant everyone else could too. She went over to sit between her parents and curled into her father’s waiting hug. “I’m fine Papa, I promise. And if I’m right, I’ll have my real black cat soon and this will all be over.”

“And who exactly is this person?” Chloe’s demanding tone was hiding concern, for a lot of reasons. Even so Marinette couldn’t stop the ill timed yawn that came out and it seemed to annoy the other girl more.

“My twin.” There was dead silence at that announcement. She was debating who would find their voice first.

“Seriously? Paris can barely handle one of you and you want to bring in a clone?” Yeah, Chloe is the one she would have guessed.

“She’s not a clone, and she’s technically my half sister so we don’t even have that similar of DNA.” Luka and Kagami were communicating with looks and she was too worn out to try and follow it. Chloe just huffed and crossed her arms while Marinette felt her Papa hug her harder.

“You have a half sister?” Her Maman’s tone was soft and that could be dangerous. Unfortunately, Marinette didn’t heed that little voice in her head telling her to stop.

“And a half brother, and apparently a bunch of siblings that are adopted.” She felt the impending explosion too late to do anything but burrow further into her Papa.

“This man has all these kids and just decided he didn’t want you?” She forgot how loud her Maman could yell. She didn’t do it often which made it far more terrifying when she did.

“It’s not like that. He didn’t know about me, and it’s all rather too complicated to go into when I can barely keep my eyes open. Grandpa Alfie?” The man had been suspiciously quiet but he was radiating the same tension as her parents.

“Yes Miss Marinette?” Yep, there was definitely some suppressed anger in that tone.

“Could you ask Mr. Wayne if he and Cass can come to Paris? Sooner would be better. The others can come too but I need her here.” He was frowning at her and she wasn’t certain why but it looked thoughtful.

“Of course, I’ll make sure they’re here by tomorrow.” That was the last thing she heard before she fell asleep.

------------------------------------------------------------

Alfred pulled out his phone to text Master Bruce with measured calmness, but inside he was livid. It was bad enough children had been given the responsibility of protecting Paris but watching one of them goof off to the point that he endangered all the others, multiple times, made him want to take Mme. Cheng’s idea and run with it. Given what they’d said during the fight about him harassing Ladybug he’d be more than willing to set the boy straight.

Alfred - You and Miss Cassandra need to be on a plane. Now.

Master Bruce - What’s wrong?

Alfred - You’ll be briefed when you get here, but it is incredibly urgent.

Master Bruce - Should I tell Cass about Marinette?

Alfred - Yes, that would be prudent.

Master Bruce - What about the boys?

Alfred - Miss Marinette is amenable to meeting them as well, but I’ll let you decide if you want to tell them now and have them all descend on Paris with you.

Master Bruce - It might be best to get it over with at one time. Selina wants to come too for some reason.

Alfred - I don’t see that as a problem, but I will ask Miss Marinette when she wakes just to be sure.

Master Bruce - We’ll be there in twelve hours.

Alfred didn’t bother to ask how many because he had a feeling it was going to be all of them. He did wonder at Miss Kyle’s interest, but she might just be curious to see Master Bruce’s newly found offspring.

“They’ll be here by morning. Probably with the boys as well.” He looked up to find Miss Marinette asleep. Mme. Cheng was frowning at him.

“Exactly how many are we talking about?” She was speaking through clenched teeth and Alfred could tell she was trying to remain calm. This was all a lot to process so he wasn’t surprised.

“Master Bruce, his fiance, and Miss Cassandra for certain. Masters Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian are possibilities. I’ll do what I can to keep them from overwhelming all of you.”

“I thought Bruce Wayne only had one known biological son, so how exactly does Mari have a twin sister?” Alfred debated whether to answer Miss Chloe’s question, but Marinette would certainly explain it when she was awake anyway.

“Miss Cassandra and Miss Marinette share the same mother but have different fathers. So you are correct, until now Master Damian was the only one we knew about.” He could tell she was about to grill him further and kept going to prevent it. “Miss Marinette and I were interrupted and I would prefer not to disclose things to others I haven’t even been able to tell her. I’m also not certain what she would want to share with all of you so that’s all I’m willing to say on the matter at present.”

“I can respect that, and Mari definitely deserves to hear everything first.” She paused to look at the sleeping girl and sighed. “I guess she’ll be getting the siblings she wanted. I should go back to the hotel and prepare rooms, since I’m assuming they’ll be joining you there.” It wasn’t exactly a question but Alfred nodded anyway.

“Yes Miss. As soon as I know about the boys I’ll have an idea of room numbers and let you know.”

Angel Amongst Bats Chapter 16

Title: Angel Amongst Bats

Pairing: Jason Todd x Stella Covington (My OC)

Warnings: Cursing, past major character death, a little bit angsty, fluff.

Summary: Red Hood finally steps foot in the dimension Stella's been trapped in. How will the reunion go?

A/N: Wanna be on my tag list? DM me and let me know (:

Prologue Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13

Chapter 14 Chapter 15

Chapter 16: Red Hood

“Are you sure this will work?” Dick asked reluctantly. He was standing in the Justice League tower dressed in his Nightwing gear.

“Yes. Just press the button when you guys are ready, and it should send you where you want to go.” Zatanna said, handing him a small remote like device.

“Common I don’t have all day. Let’s go.” Jason calls back. He was standing awkwardly in the middle of the room. All the hero’s walking by were sending him nasty looks. He was totally out of place here, especially since he was dressed as the Red Hood. Jason walks up to the pair.

“Okay.” Dick responded. As he presses the button. A large yellow portal opens up in front of them. Dick and Jason step in front of it.

“When you’re ready to come back. Flip the switch on the side, and it should reverse the portal.” Zatanna says from behind them. “Good luck!”

“Were not coming back without her.” Dick says to Jason.

Jason doesn’t respond. He just starts walking towards the portal. Dick follows shortly.

————————

They both land on their feet. They were in a dirty alley between two old brick buildings. Dick and Jason look around. It was still day time in this universe, the sun shining bright over them. Dick peaks his head out of the alleyway. There were people walking around on the streets. He quickly pulled himself back to where Jason was standing.

“Uh, it’s day time. And we stick out like a sore thumb.” He says gesturing to their costumes.

Jason ignores him. He pulls out a small tracking device from his pocket. To his surprise, it starts to beep.

“She’s here.” He says to Dick.

Dick looks at him questioningly. “How do you know?”

“Her tracker is working.”

“You put a tracker in her?”

Jason rolled his eyes under his helmet. “No dickwad. She has a tracker in her necklace. And before you say anything; yes, she knows it’s there. Now come on.” He says as he shoots his grappling hook onto the roof and swings up. Dick follows suit.

According to the tracker, Stella was inside Wayne manor. Well, this worlds Wayne manor. They managed to get to the manor in record time. Jason didn’t bother trying to be stealthy. He just wanted to get to Stella as soon as he could.

The two men soon found themselves in front of the gates of Wayne manor. Luckily, the roads leading up to the estate were private roads so there were no onlookers. Getting to the manor was easy. Getting in was another problem.

“What should we do? Climb the gates?” Jason asked.

“Why don’t we try knocking?” Dick responds.

Jason glared at him through his helmet. “What do you mean? We can’t just show up and be like hey so we’re from a different dimension. By the way, have you seen my girlfriend?”

“Why not?” Dick says as he starts to walk up to the manor doors.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Jason yells. But Dick had already pressed the gates call button.

“Hello?” A voice answers through the intercom.

“Hi, Uh I’m Nightwing. Or er, Dick. We’re from another dimension and we’re looking for someone who might be inside?” Dick answers. Jason cannot believe how stupid he is.

To his surprise, the voice answered back. “Ah I believe I know exactly who you are talking about. She is here. Please come in.” The voice said as the doors clicked open. Jason’s jaw dropped. Dick looked at him with a smirk and shrugged. He pushed open the gate and walked in. Jason ran after him.

Alfred greeted them at the door. He did not seem phased at all, given the circumstances. Dick walked right past him into the manor. Alfred hesitated when Jason turned up. “He’s with me. Thanks Alf.” Alfred watched Jason the whole time. He had no idea who this strange man was.

They were greeted by the entire family in the foyer. Bruce, Damian, Tim, Barbara, and Dick stared at the two men in front of them.

Jason and Dick paused. Dick was super weirded out, staring at the man who looked exactly like him standing six feet away. Jason just stared at the people in front of them, not caring who they were. He was just focused on finding Stella.

“So you’re him.” Bruce said.

Dick nudged Jason in the ribs. “Take off the helmet.” He whispered.

Jason obliged, and with a hiss, he took off his helmet and placed it on the table next to them. Then he ripped off his domino mask, revealing his turquoise eyes underneath. Bruce studied him carefully.

What Stella told them was true. The man standing in front of them was Jason, but a little different. He was bigger, only a little, and he had a white streak running through his dark hair. There were also multiple scars on his face, and his eyes were more hardened, and a little bit broken.

“Um sorry to be so rash but, we’re looking for someone. Is she here by any chance?” Dick asks nervously.

“She’s in the garden.” Barbara answers, still staring at the clone of her boyfriend that just walked through the front door.

Jason did not hesitate to run through the house and push past its residents. He beelined towards the garden. Dick followed him, flanked by the others.

As he ran through the yard he saw a familiar blonde head in the distance. “Stella.” He whispers as he breaks out into a sprint. As he got closer, he realized she wasn’t alone. He saw that a strange man had his arms around his girlfriend.

Jason’s protective, or jealous however you wanted to look at them, instincts kicked in. He screamed at the man. “GET AWAY FROM HER!” And without hesitation, tackled him to the ground.

———————

Stella watched in confusion as Red Hood tackles Jason to the ground.

Jason was about to start throwing punches, but he immediately saw the white streak and turquoise eyes and realized who the man was. “Hey I give!” He cried. Jason stopped fighting back and held his hands up in surrender.

Red Hood had pulled out a gun and had it pointed at his head. He had one knee on his chest, pinning him down. His other hand was wrapped around Jason’s neck. He was too angry to realize just exactly who he had pinned down at the ground at the moment.

Jason looked up at his twin, he was more intrigued than scared at this point. But he kept his hands raised as a symbol of surrender.

“I’m unarmed, I promise.” He gasped as Red Hood tightened his hold around his neck.

After finally realizing who was standing in front of her, Stella cried out. “Jay?!”

Red Hood turns to face her and immediately jumps off the man he had just tackled. He dropped the gun he was holding onto the floor as he took her in. His eyes widened as his anger turned to relief.

Her blue eyes went from shock to relief as she came to the realization who was standing in front of her.

“Stella? Is it really you?” He asks rushing to her side. He kneels down in front of her and in an instant, Stella launches herself into his arms, for a moment forgetting about her injuries.

“Jay!” She says as she begins to sob into his chest. Jason hugs her back and collapses onto his knees, his arms around her tightening. “I’m here doll. I’m here.” He whispers into her ears, finally allowing the tears he had been holding back to fall. They pull away to look each other in the eyes. He cups her face in his hands. His turquoise eyes finally meeting her blue ones. They crash their mouths together, desperate for one another. They both tasted like tears, but it didn’t matter.

She was safe. He finally found her.

DGM Theory- How The Earl Split

Warning: The following theory may be clunky, confusing, spoilery, and a little gross- I already discussed why Mana and Nea were created, now I am giving my theories on how. Usually how a baby comes into the world is not pleasant for those sensitive to body functions. It is apparent they were not born the normal way but still... warning ahead- a man split into two babies and it probably ain’t pretty...

There are a couple different ways the first Earl (who I will refer to as Adam. The Suit will be called the Suit) may have split into two physical beings. I have 3 theories regarding this. I will put them down in order of likeliness and give evidence to why each is likely. Before we dive deeper into madness, lets observe the new borns.

Here we see the infants are on top of the clothes on what once was the 7,000 year old, long haired, unchanging Earl.There are also 2 moth or butterfly creatures flying over them which one baby is trying to catch. Hoshino uses the baby reaching for the butterfly as a means of first introducing the audience to the truth of Mana and Nea’s existence and Tyki was given butterfly golems by the Earl so those butterflies may be important. Who knows yet. Now onto the theories.

1. Turned to fog (or butterflies if Adam’s fate was like Emily’s in the Corpse Bride)

We’ve seen any akuma victims who’s clothes were left behind just like this after they disintegrated.

And we know from the Alma Karma arc that akuma are technically clones of the Earl.

To give this theory a bit more merit, we also see Allen’s arm upon destruction turn to fog before returning itself to its full state of clown crown and Jasdevi who some have theorized to be connected by the twins’ song about each other (cradle becomes two and one gets lost to the fog) forming after the twins destroy each other and become fog.

We may even see fog during Nea’s final moments with Mana and the suit (possibly in the dream world where Mana keeps running into the suit and Allen sees Cross due to his hair and outfit change) ontop of the fact that the Earl has the ability to vaporize people, perhaps creating a fog as well. Although, splitting into a whole bunch of butterflies or moths could also be possible.

2.Stomach explosion (the gross and frightening one)

This may seem unlikely but we have seen two instances of an akuma- stomach exploding. The first time we see it is in Mater when the Level 2 shapeshifting akuma transformed into sand and tried to trap Allen inside of him. Allen quickly managed to claw his way out the front.

Meanwhile, in the Destruction of the Order arc, we see the birth (quite literally) of a level 4 akuma after a level 3 giant akuma shapeshifted itself into a heavily pregnant woman that wouldn’t you know it- had its stomach explode when the akuma came out.

(I’m already scared of the pregnancy vore going to come or has already come because of this...)

Its odd that the so far final transformation of akuma results in a pregnant lady. It only gets weirder when you remember that the pudgy Earl suit was said by even Hoshino herself not to be fat, but that the plumpiness would become important...

I’ll leave any other connections you notice to you. I’ll leave you with just one more I think is relevant- Helvaslaka described the innocence she guards as Clown Crown was forming in some translations reacting, “like a baby kicking in the womb.” So... don’t feel alarmed and I am terribly sorry if I made the Earl/ the suit any weirder for you.

3. Cornelia

Upon Timcampy’s destruction by the hand of Apocrypos (so sad!!!!), little hands came out of Tim’s splinter wound (caused by a piece of bark from Cornelia) taking over his body and splitting him in half.

If a splinter of Cornelia destroyed Tim, the whole tree has the potential to cause damage to a frequent supernatural visitor who may’ve one day accidentally (or purposefully) got a splinter or cut off the tree.

We’ve seen these hands twice before. Twice with Helvaslaska ...

And at least once with an akuma.

These theories could all be correct or none of them could be. For all we know, Apocrypos could’ve punched Adam in the stomach and had a negative reaction to the innocence that way or (like on my theory why Adam split) split simply because he was distressed between feelings explaining why Nea was probably the more hateful of the twins and Mana seemed more accepting twins. I hope I have enlightened you and not traumatized anyone’s innocent mind not prepared for such madness. Hope you have a good day.

For the prompts: Enamor me + JayKon? I'm thinking one of them is trying to woo the other one, but in a so weirdly specific way that the other one is like 'is he trying to tell me he likes me or is he trying to kill me?' But honestly, go wild! I love the way you write them anyway! :D

Jason killed the engine on his bike, and reaching up with shaking fingers, pulled his helmet off. The buzzing that had been roaring in his ears the whole ride back to the Cave didn’t cease. If anything, it got louder. He swung off the bike and hung his helmet over the handle. He stood there for a few moments, hands fisted at his side, fingers spasming, convulsing almost, as he tried to calm himself down.

All he could hear was the yelling, gunshots, and more screaming. He clenched his eyes shut tight behind the whiteouts of his red domino mask, taking slow, deep breaths, and holding them for a few seconds before releasing, only to repeat the process all over again. Breathing exercises ingrained from his time as Robin, as much a habit as cleaning his guns was, as much a ritual as anything.

They weren’t helping tonight.

Too much noise in his head, too much yelling, too much screaming, and he doesn’t know if it’s echoes from earlier that night, or from his past, but it’s all too loud, and toomuchtoomuchtoomuch. His spiraling thoughts grind to a halt as a rough hand gripped his shoulder. He barely restrains himself from drawing his gun when Nightwing spins him around.

“What the hell was that, Hood?” N's voice is dark and low, creeping closer to Bat than bird.

Jason blinked behind the dom, realizing he hadn’t even heard Nightwing pull up into the Cave on his own bike.

“I think it’s called apprehendin’ assholes, bu’maybe th’lingos changed, an’ no one bothered t’tell me.” Jason’s reply sounds robotic even to his own ears, but Nightwing didn’t seem to notice, or care, and Jason isn’t sure which one hurts more. Jason pulls his arm out of the other man’s grip, taking a step back, still trying to calm the noise in his head. An incessant sound that keeps threatening to drown out the world around him.

“You know that’s not what I meant.” Nightwing’s voice sounds hollow and far away, like he’s at the end of a tunnel, and Jason struggles to stay focused on it

“Then maybe y’should spell it out f’r me Goldie.” The Cave feels too small and too big all at once, their words echoing back at them, noise pressing in on his skull. “‘Cause all I did, was make damn sure that three idiots won’ ever peddle t’kids again. An’ I didn’ even kill any of’em.” All Jason wants is to go back to his apartment. He wants out of Red Hood, wants the quiet of his apartment, the comfort of his space.

Nightwing is talking again and it takes more willpower than Jason realized he possessed to focus back on him.

“......One of them may never walk again, another might lose his hand, and you think that’s okay?”

Jason titled his head as he took in the older vigilante, who was sounding so much like Batman it was making Jason’s skin crawl. “Lemme think abou’ tha’ fer a second...yup, pretty much.”

“Why......no I don’t care why. What the hell were you thinking?”

“I was thinkin', tha’ since I swore I wouldn’ kill anyone, tha’ makin’ sure they could never hurt anyone again was th’next best thing.”

“Jason -”

“No, y’don’ get t’lecture me, Nightprick. Y’wanted m’help wit’ this, y’know m’stance on peddlin’ to kids. Why th’fuck would y’expect any other outcome?” Jason turned and made a grab for his helmet, more than ready to be done with this whole night. He’s stopped again by Nightwing’s hand wrapping around his arm.

“Don’t just walk away, Jason -”

“Let go of me.” Jason had gone completely still as soon as Nighwing’s hand had grabbed his arm, tense and coiled like a loaded spring. His skin was crawling and burning at the same time, that odd dual sensation that he got whenever someone touched him without premission. There were very few people he accepted random touches from. The first Robin was not one of them.

Nightwing slowly let his hand drop and Jason immediately stepped out of reach, fighting to keep himself from shaking hard enough to notice. Not that he thought Nightwing would, as far up on his high horse as he was.

The roaring was loud in his ears again, drowning out everything. He could hardly hear himself breathing, let alone if his brother was trying to say anything to him. He jammed his helmet on his head and swung back onto the bike in one smooth, controlled movement, body moving by muscle memory alone, as he kicked the bike into gear. He sees Nightwing throw an arm up to cover his face, blocking the dirt and rocks the bikes tires kick up as Jason peels out of the Cave.

“What do you mean you haven’t heard from Jason in over a week, Dick?” Tim’s voice is sharp, and he doesn’t miss the way his older brother’s shoulders tense slightly.

Dick crosses his arms over his chest, looking down at Tim steadily from where he’s leaning against the kitchen counter. “It’s exactly what it sounds like. We got into it after he went too far when we took down a drug ring.”

Tim rolled his eyes, walking across the kitchen to pull down a glass from the cupboard, and getting some water from the fridge. “You know how he feels about drugs, Dick, why -”

“He nearly killed 3 people.” Dick’s tone is flat, emotionless, Batman.

Tim froze, glass resting against his bottom lip, blue eyes widening. “That’s...he hasn’t gone that far in a long time.” He took a sip from his glass, and placed it back on the counter before turning his head to look over at Dick. “Did you ask him why?”

Dick look offended as he answered, letting his hands drop to rest against the counter, fingers curled around the edge. “Of course I did, who do you take me for?”

Tim stared at his older brother impassively for several moments, taking another sip of his drink. “Did you ask him why and if something was bothering him? Or did you just demand to know what he was thinking? Because those are two very different things, Dick.” The silence that followed Tim’s statement his more than telling enough for Tim, and he walks over to the sink to dump the rest of his glass.

“Look, it doesn’t matter -”

“Of course it matters Dick!” He whipped his head around to glare at Dick. “This is Jason! He always has a reason for the things he does, even if we don’t always – nope.” Tim slashed a hand through the air, cutting Dick off when he opened his mouth to speak. “You know what? I don’t have time for th-” Tim was cut off himself when his cell started ringing. He covered his other ear as he brought his phone up to his opposite.

“Conner?”

“Hey, I know we all just got back, but anyone at the Manor heard from Jay?” Tim winces at the worry he can hear in his best friend’s voice. “I tried calling and I’m not getting any answer, and y’know how he feels about me listening for him.”

Tim nods even though he knows Conner can’t see him. “Yeah, he hates it, but he’s gonna have to forgive you this time. He and Dick got into it, and no one’s seen him in a week. I’ll text the girls and see if they’ve heard from him, but I’d just start looking for him yourself if I was you.”

“Right. I’ll text you when I find him.”

“Thanks, Kon. I owe you.” Tim hit end call button on his phone, and glared at Dick over his shoulder as he turned to head out of the kitchen. “Don’t follow me.”

Conner glanced around the dimly lit street for what felt like the hundredth time as he landed lightly on the fire escape outside the window to Jason’s apartment. It was mostly habit, what with Batman’s no metas in Gotham rule, that had the superman clone glancing over his shoulder. Batman was currently out of country on a trip for WE, since Tim had been off-world dealing with Titan business. So, he had no reason to worry about Captain Broodpants popping up and kicking him out of his city.

He unlocked the window, hitting the correct sequence to disable the alarm, and quickly slipped inside, closing the window quietly behind him. Once he was inside the apartment, he took stock of his surroundings, trying to gauge what kind of mood Jason was in. He winced when he saw the state of the living room alone. Every pillow, couch cushion, and blanket were missing. ‘Shit. It’s been that kind of week.”

Conner walked through the living room, heading towards the room Jason usually holed himself up in when he had a bad day, or just wanted some quiet. A quick glance in the two bedrooms showed the blankets and pillows missing from them as well, and the hall closet had been emptied. The twin mattress was even missing from the spare room.

He came to a stop outside the room at the end of the hall, the one Jay usually used as an office. It had only two entry points, the door into the room, and the window out to the rooftop access ladder, that Jason had installed with Conner’s help. One entrance, and one exit. A great set up for a quick escape should Jason need it.

He rarely used it, but liked having it as extra security on days he was feeling vulnerable. Not that he would admit that was the reason to anyone, but Conner wasn’t stupid, and he knew his boyfriend’s tells. Jason had told him once that he used to sleep in similar set up’s, when he was living on the streets, and when he first arrived at the Manor. Would sleep in a narrow space with a quick way out the back end that an adult couldn’t get into, so he’d have a way to run if he needed.

Conner took a breath and knocked on the door, not even touching the handle until Jason acknowledged he was there. While getting shot wouldn’t hurt him, Jason would feel bad once he realized what he’d done. There was silence for several minutes, but before he could knock again, he heard Jason mumble at him to come in. Conner frowned as he turned the handle, opening it slowly in case Jason changed his mind. Jason’s voice sounded rougher than it normally was, and Conner wasn’t sure if it was from disuse or screaming. Both thoughts made his heart hurt. He carefully slipped into the room, taking in the mass of blankets and pillows that had been carefully arranged into a blanket fort. The mattress was on the floor, the table Jason usually used as a desk was turned on its end, on the shorter end, blankets and sheets strung between it and the bookshelf full of Jason’s books, creating a cave of soft white and quiet blues.

Conner, picked his way across the contents of the desk that had been strewn across the floor, before sitting at the entrance to Jason’s current safe haven. “Hey Jay.” He pulled his knees up to his chest, resting his cheek against them, peering inside the fort. He could make out Jason near the back, curled up as he was, knees to his chest. He was dressed in sweats, bright blue, fuzzy socks, and what looked like one of Conner’s sweaters. The sleeves were a few inches too short on Jason’s longer arms, but Conner recognized the colour, it was one of his older sweaters, soft and worn in.

Teal eyes lifted up from where Jason had them buried in his knees. Conner frowned internally, at seeing how pale Jason was. All the bats were pale, but Jason was almost sallow, sickly, telling how long Jason had been holed up in here.

“Y’gonna yell at me to?”

The rough, scratchy tone of Jason’s voice brings Conner out of his contemplation, and he gives his boyfriend his full attention. “Of course not. Why would I yell at you?”

“Seems t’be everyone’s favourite pastime lately. Y’may as well join th’party.”

Conner shrugs, small smile on his face. “I haven’t heard your side yet, just Dick’s from Tim, and I refuse to pass judgment until I have the whole story. Regardless -” He hurried to continue when he saw Jason open his mouth. “When have I ever yelled at you over something like this? Come on Jay, you know me better than that.”

Jason could only look at him, dumbstruck, eyes blinking rapidly, before he squeezed his eyes shut tight, burying his face back in his knees.

“Can I come in?” Conner made sure to keep his voice level. While he didn’t know what had set Jason off into this spiral of depression and self-loathing, he was determined to try and help anyway he could, even if that meant leaving the apartment. It had happened before, and it wouldn’t be the first time, or the last.

It was several seconds of silent waiting until he saw Jason give the barest of nods, but the muttered ‘please’, had him carefully moving into the blanket structure, being mindful of where he put his hands and feet as he crawled in.

Jason sat close to the middle of his fort and Conner made sure Jason had a clear shot to one of the exits if he felt the need to leave quickly. It had taken a lot of trial and error to get them to where they were now, and Conner was not going to mess up the trust that they had between to satisfy his need to wrap himself around Jason, to protect him from a world that tried to tear it down, just as much as he tried to build it up.

Conner sat behind Jason, both arms wrapping carefully around the others shoulder’s, letting his legs lay flat on either side of Jason’s still raised ones. He rested his forehead against the back of Jason’s neck, and just breathed. He did his best to match Jason’s rhythm, and then gradually helped Jason to take deeper, more even breaths, until, twenty minutes later, Jason relaxed against him.

Conner waited a few more minutes, giving Jason time to settle, before asking, “Did you want to talk about it?”

“Wha’s there t’talk about? I screwed up, again. I -” he cut off with a hiss when Conner tightened his arms around Jason’s shoulders, nipping at the side of his throat.

Conner speaks into the warm skin of Jason's neck, making sure he hears and feels every word. “You didn’t break Bat’s rule, you didn’t screw up, and that wasn’t what I meant.”

Jason took a breath, body starting to shake as he thought back to what exactly had started him on this spiral. He raised one of his hands, tangling it with one of Conner’s, squeezing as hard as he could. Not for the first time, thankful that he couldn’t hurt the superman clone. His other hand was rubbing the soft material of the borrowed sweater he was wearing, using the dual sensations to help ground himself. Soft skin, tough as steel, and worn cotton, a comfort he had discovered in his early days at the Manor.

“My mom.” Jason coughed, took a shuddering breath as he tried to gather the words. “My mom died last week – not last last week, but at this time o’year. Drug overdose. I didn’ want t’go, I didn’ want to help N, knew I wasn’ in a good place, but he asked, an’...” he trailed off shrugging broad shoulders, turning slightly so he could tuck his head under Conner’s chin.

“He asked, and you didn’t want to disappoint him.” He felt Jason nod against his neck. Conner had lots of things he could have said to that, about how Dick should have realized something was up, since Jason rarely turned down a chance to take out drug dealers. Even if Jay had been hiding it well up until after the bust, Dick should have noticed that something was up with his younger brother, once they made it back to the Cave. He didn’t say any of those things now, though. Jason knew them all already, but they wouldn’t do him any good to hear it now.

So, he said none of those things. Instead he shifted so his chin was resting more firmly on Jason’s head, and turned the hand Jason was holding so he could bring it to his mouth, kissing the rough calloused palm gently. “How about we get out of Gotham for a bit?” He brought his legs up so he was bracketing Jason in, blocking out the world a bit more now. It was a bit of an awkward position, since Jason had five inches on him and some bulk, but they’d been doing this kind of dance for several years, and they made it work.

Jason sunk down a bit in Conner’s hold, tucking himself more firmly against the clone’s chest. “An’ go where, ‘xactly?” He didn’t sound opposed to the idea, mostly just curious.

“Well I may have pulled a few strings before we left and got us some tickets to a performance of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’ at the Globe Theatre, in about two days.” He bit the inside of his cheek to keep from smirking when Jason sat up straight, twisting around to look at him, teal eyes suspicious and wondering at the same time.

“Really?”

“Yeah really.” Conner leaned forward and gave his boyfriend a quick kiss. “You mentioned awhile ago that you wouldn’t mind going someday.” He shrugged now, a little unsure of himself. “So, I figured why not now? It’s been awhile since we’ve gone anywhere, we’ve both been busy with Titan or Outlaw business, I think we’ve earned a vacation.”

Jason was silent for several moments, before he was twisting in Conner’s arms, going up on his knees, top of his head brushing the roof of the fort. Conner let his arms drop from around Jason’s shoulder’s to his waist, raising a dark brow as his taller boyfriend was now looking down at him.

He sat still as Jason lifted his hands to cup Conner’s face, leaning down to give the man a proper kiss, one that Conner eagerly returned. Once they separated Jason kept his forehead resting against Conner’s, a small smile on his face that Conner couldn’t help kiss the corner of. “I know I don’ say it enough, Kon, but thank you.”

Conner didn’t ask for what, he knew, so he cupped Jason’s jaw and pulled him in for another kiss. “That mean we’re going to Jolly, old London then?” Conner made sure to ask with the worst british accent he could muster, just to see Jason glare at him.

“Only if y’promise to never do tha’ again, Superclone.”

Conner laughed, squeezing Jason tight around the waist. “Deal. Now come shower with me, I think I still have some alien gunk on my back that I can’t reach.”

Jason smirked down at him, flicking his nose with a finger, slipping out of the mass of blankets and pillows, when Conner grabbed the slightly stinging appendage. “Knew y’only loved me for m’back washing skills.”

Conner watched as Jason crawled out of the tent of sheets and blankets, admiring the way Jason seemed to look graceful and predatory, no matter what he did. “I can name several other reasons.” Conner muttered just loud enough for Jason to hear. Jason glanced over his shoulder, a look of disbelief on his face, before it slowly slid into a shy grin. He didn’t say anything else as he exited the tent, standing straight, groaning in satisfaction when his spine popped and cracked.

Conner floated himself out of the tent, watching as Jason stretched out the kinks from being in a confined space for so long. Jason froze when he saw Kon watching him, like he’d been caught doing something he shouldn’t of been, before smiling softly again, turning back around and heading out of the room. “You comin'? Or ar'ya jus' gonna stare all day?”

“Oh I’m planning on doing both.” He waggled his eyebrows suggestively even Jason shot him another glare.

“Not ‘ntil yer clean, Cloneboy.”

“Whatever you say, Jay.”

Conner smiled as Jason laughed. It still sounded rough around the edges, but the fact that he was laughing now, eased something Kon’s chest he hadn't realized was wound tight. He fingered the little box that was in the pocket of his jeans, the soft feeling of the leather covered box easing him and making his heart hurt at the same time. He had more than one reason for the trip, beyond getting Jason out of Gotham for a breather. He was going to owe Tim his life ( Jason already owned his soul) for the interference he was going to have to run, but it was so going to be worth it.

That’s it I QUIT -Third Semester Round Up Edition

With Third Semester Info finally out due to Tim Barry deciding to come back from his power sleep

We got lots of spoilers

And I’m going to be FREE after this post.

No more posting spoilers myself. I’m just gonna enjoy the sweet ride to the new ending and see what people have to say because I accidentally ruined my own sleep schedule and got tired of the chat lol. These are just brief translation that are probably off (all done by translators in the stream btw)

We got endgame spoilers, so go with caution if you want to know them.

12/24

So Sae is about to send Joker’s ass to jail when

Surprised Mother F*cker! Goro is alive! It seems Tim Barry’s back tracking did good after all! Joker asks if Goro is real, and Goro is all, “yeah I’m real’. And Goro roughly says he’s going to accept that Shido’s sins are his and he’s going to jail in Joker’s place

It also seems you can’t please all the haters bc they think he’s still better off dead (bruh if he’s dead how you think we even got joker playable in third semester).

12/25

So there’s a Christmas Party, and Morgana comes back in his cat form. It’s pretty much like canon

12/30 and 12/31

Akechi is in jail (for what crimes I don’t know), and because of his testimony against Shido, the woman who Joker saved comes forward (I think). Joker is now free of his false crime. Kasumi is there.

So on the night of the 12/31, Joker has a dream about Shujin. It’s very Persona 1 like. The school is dark and empty. There’s a blue butterly, and Joker follows it around. Voices of the PT members can be heard talking about their wishes

1/1

New animated cutscene with Kasumi. The Gang celebrates the New Year.

By the way, Human!Morgana’s looks isn’t what curse. It’s his voice.

IT’S STILL THE SAME VA AND LEAVES A JARRING AFFECT.

We also get to meet Kasumi’s dad and there’s something off about him

To where she sense it as well

1/2

Wakaba is at LeBlanc eating with Futaba and Human Mona is there.

Surprise Mother F8cker!

Goro walks in. He takes in his surrounding, and he and Joker speak in private. Turns out Goro suddenly got release from jail for no reason, and that tipped him off lol. So they talk about the dream world, and Kasumi calls Joker, and the two head of to meet her at the construction sight.

After three damn years, Goro -since Kasumi is confuse why he’s there- tells her he is not a Phantom Thief. But he is helping them. Kasumi called Joker because she realize that yeah, something is off and think there’s a Palace there.

The trio enter the Research Facility Palace and Goro is in Black Mask mode. Kasumi ask why, and he tells her he doesn’t feel the need to be the detective prince. As a result, we must press F for Robin Hood (for the time being. Who knows if he’ll show up again).

So they investigate and fight Shadow. Tim Barry was able to get an All out Attack with Goro. I decide the truth is in fact, real.

As a humorous moment, because Goro is now allowing himself become more feral, Kasumi ask if he’s like this. The chat made Tim Barry pick option 2: This is his true self.

Anyway, they run into a screen that shows Kasumi’s father talking to his dead daughter, aka, Kasumi’s twin. Something is said, but I have no idea what is translated.

Kasumi starts to feel off herself, and

Oh hey we see Kasumi on some stand? Why is your hair kind of brown? Why do you have a beauty mark on your face? Serious did you-

Who the hell is Sumire (I think that’s the spelling)? Isn’t that the dead twin?

(Where did Harumi came from?)

The trio continue to go further into the Palace and-

OH HELL NO!

In the strangest twist, the Paalce Owner is in fact, Takuto Maruki.

But it’s not his Shadow Self. IT’S THE REAL TAKUTO MARUKI. HE HAS ENTER THE METAVERSE HIMSELF AND CREATED A NEW REALITY AND PALACE FOR HIMSELF.

My god. I’m getting Persona 1 and Kandori flashbacks. Anyway, Takuto had no idea he even made a Palace until Goro tells him. So it turns out Takuto is something of a well extreme villain antagonist. The reason he’s been playing GOD is to keep Kasumi’s happy and free from pain of reality.

BECAUSE THAT AIN’t KASUMI THAT’S SUMIRE PRETENDING TO BE KASUMI.

It turns out, Kasumi was the oldest of the twins. She’s pretty much the cheerful girl we see from Sumire- as Kasumi. The real Kasumi was so much better than Sumire in gymnastics, and it create a lot of self inferiority complex on Sumire. It got to where Sumire wanted to be Kasumi, and somehow Sumire decided to run into traffic while it was raining.

The real Kasumi saved Sumire and died as a result.

Upon remembering, ‘Kasumi’ de-transforms, and appears as her frumpy self. Talks happens, and I don’t know what was said for much of this because the chat was spamming too much. Apparently Sumire was an experiment of sorts (YOU’RE A MAKI AND MANGA!BOY WITH EARRING/NAOYA CLONE FUSION) and her own cognition/mask of herself was change for this ‘switch’ to happen.

Goro finds everything about Takuto’s research and plan terrible and hates it. Takuto feels sad Goro feels that way (well maybe if Takuto got Goro’s damn dream he would be on board with it lol).

So Sumire, wanting to still be Kasumi, agrees to go with Takuto. Takuto says Sumire won’t be harm (because again, he actually does care for her), but Joker doesn’t agree with it. So a boss fight happens, and we get Joker and Black Mask Crow’s showtime.

It’s in the rain and on a city rooftop. Goro is just on a blood spree and Joker shoots with a gun.

So they get expell (?) from the Palace and Goro is all like ‘well we can’t talk down the guy with just the two of us we need more help’. This is the part of Goro’s trailer where he’s all ‘you can hang out in dream world if you want’ in that disgusting tone.

And then I left the stream because I got sick and tired of the chat lol. Last thing I saw was Joker visiting his friends and their ‘dream that became reality’.

----------------------------------------------

Breaking things down a bit - The inner fam ;

Dick, Jason, Tim, Cassandra, Harper & Cullen, and Maya have all been officially adopted by Bruce in this universe

More or less in that exact order.

They’ve all kept their respective last names, but will occasionally hyphenate and tack on ‘Wayne’ to the ends of them.

Maya was brought home one day by Damian, who insisted Bruce take her on as a ward. Bruce was more than happy to oblige, tho noting how close of a bond the two children already had (and how they were already referring to one another as ‘brother’ & ‘sister’), he decided to just adopted her.

Barbara and Stephanie are not adopted

Steph is however a ward.

Bruce did ask to adopt her but she feels that it would be too weird for her to be legally adopted, since her and Tim are dating. ---She is however, considered by most of the family (in particular Harper, Cullen, & Cassandra), to be an ‘honorary sibling’.

Barbara’s father is still very much alive, altho Gordon and Bruce often joke about shared custody. (Also Babs agrees with Steph in that it would make dating Dick awkward)

Bruce still thinks of them like his own, and they’re considered as a core part of the family by everyone else.

Both also have their own respective rooms at the manor. Steph because she lives there, and Babs because she visits so often.

Claire is more or less an unofficial ward of Bruce’s.

In this verse he took her in after the death of her brother, and has been helping her to get the help she needs to recover; she’s been healing slowly but surely.

She’s formed a close bond with Duke.

She’s been getting training so that she feels less inclined to use her powers and won’t shave any more years off her lifespan.

Duke and Colin, while not officially adopted by Bruce, are his wards

Duke’s parents are still alive (though Jokerized), in light of this Bruce has offered to adopt him, but Duke politely declined. The offer remains open should he ever change his mind, however.

Colin similarly has been made an offer to be adopted, but turned it down for unspecified reasons. (ie; I haven’t decided yet if I want to go the ‘Tiny Boyfriends’ route w/ Dami&Colin in this AU, so I’m holding off on making them adopted siblings)

Helena, Damian, and Athanasia are all biologically Bruce’s children

Helena is from the future (or at least a possible future) in which Bruce and Selina have a child together. She refuses to tell them what year she’s actually from, or reveal much about her timeline.

Damian is Bruce’s son by Talia. He came to live with Bruce when he was 10.

Athanasia is Bruce’s daughter by Talia, although she was more ‘created’ than ‘conceived’ (ie, very much like those spare clone babies Talia had floating that she showed to Damian in the comics).

For clarification, she isn’t a female-clone of Damian. Talia used a sample of her own DNA and a sample of Bruce’s to create a new embryo.

When Damian was sent off to join his father, Talia had Athanasia born; aged up to ten years old to match her brother. She kept her a secret, hidden from Bruce and Damian, training her in the ways of the league for the next three years, before having a change of heart and sending her daughter to meet her brother and father.

Terry, Matt, Nissa, and Max are all from a future timeline that was wiped from existence somehow, they managed to time travel back to the past to survive.

Terry and Matt are (because of genetic tampering done by Waller) biologically Bruce’s sons. Terry is aware of this information. Matt is not.

Since they didn’t arrive with them, Terry and Matt believed Nissa & Max had died. However it turned out that their device had been damaged somehow, causing the timing of their arrival to be off by a year.

Breaking things down further - The extended fam ;

Kate and Beth are identical twin sisters, and are Bruce’s cousins.

In this verse Beth recovers from her ‘Alice’ persona and adopts the mantle of ‘Brightbat’, working alongside Kate as a vigilante.

Bette is the youngest cousin of Kate, Beth, and Bruce.

Jean-Paul isn’t related to anyone, nor is he adopted by, or a ward of Bruce.

He does however work closely with the family, and is considered an extended part of it. He’s like an honorary cousin more or less.

Luke also isn’t related to anyone, but works closely with the batfamily, earning him a spot as an honorary member, even if he's not a part of the core family.

Tiffany is Luke's youngest sister.

She's taken to training with and helping him out on the field. Don't call her his sidekick though, she hates that.

Helena B. has close ties to the batfamily, although she isn’t part of the core family, she is always welcomed by them, and in turn will always aid them when they need it.

She’s particularly close w/ both Barbara & Dick, as well as Cass. She also gets along well with Jason.

Mary isn’t officially integrated as a part of the core family, but she does live with them, having been brought to the manor to live by Babs, who she has grown close to.

She appears to be around 19 years old, in actuality she is much older. Because of the process she underwent when being made into a Talon, she doesn’t age physically.

She was taught sign language from Cassandra, although she still prefers writing as a means of communication.

While Babs fills the role as an older sister type figure for her, Mary seems to have latched on to Secret Six team-member Thomas Blake as something of a (reluctant) paternal figure.

Charlie isn’t exactly a full fledged part of the Batfam, so much as Babs has taken her under her wing and started to mentor her.

She lives with Barbara, and is generally introduced as her cousin.

Carrie is Barbara’s second cousin on her mother’s side, who randomly showed up on her door one way after finding out she had a relative in Gotham.

Eventually she discovered Babs was Batgirl and pleaded for her to mentor her.

Basil has gone from a former Gotham rogue, to a redeemed and trusted member of the batfamily.

He's particularly close to Cassandra, and has become somewhat of a second father figure to her.

Selina really is on the family friend/extended family cusp, with Helena’s arrival edging her a bit closer to the latter. --She’s not quite a part of the core family, but with a daughter from a potential future timeline showing up her dynamic definitely changes.

Her and Bruce have, as you can expect, had a thing. They have in fact, had several things. They’re very on-and-off.

When they’re 'on’ their relationship is sometimes left open (bc y’all kno I’m all about that poly)

Selina being the alleged long-lost daughter of Carmine Falcone is canon in this verse.

Kitrina isn’t quite a part of the batfamily on her own, however as Selina’s protege she’ll make appearances here and there during times of need at her mentors side.

Kitrina is Selina’s niece (unbeknownst to her, tho Selina knows.)

Maps is one of Damian’s very best friends, and has taken full advantage of that to worm her way into the (at least somewhat) inner bat circle.

She’s is --as Damian keeps reminding her -- a vigilante in training and is always asking him to mentor her so she can join in when he goes on patrols. She's even volunteered to be the Robin's sidekick.

Breaking things down even more - The outer fam;

M is for lack of better explanation, like that close family friend you have who is sort of like the cool/fun Uncle. He helps out here and there, gets along w/ most of the fam, and pops into the manor uninvited every now & then to get a rise out of Bruce.

Gets along well with Dick and Jason. (Tends to team up with the latter to tease the former)

Cullen seems to have taken a real shine to him, and has asked if M would mentor him since starting to consider becoming a vigilante. (M however is unsure he's the right fit as a mentor for the kid, since his crime fighting methods tend to be a bit brutal)

He’s not married to Apollo in this verse, though they do have an on-again-off-again type relationship (so I can occasionally hook him up with other people w/o leading to drama).

Zatanna also falls into the category of close family friend.

Her and Bruce have been friends since childhood, making her one of his oldest and closest friends.

Also her and Bruce have had a thing once upon a time. (There might still be some feelings on both sides, I’m keeping options open here...)

Violet isn’t part of the core batfamily, and she doesn’t work quite closely enough with them to be considered part of the extended fam either, but in this verse she’s close friends with (and maybe dating) Harper. which has lead to her working a bit more frequently with the bats than she usually would otherwise.

Calvin is an ally of the Batfam & comes to help them when called upon.

He gets along really well w/ Dick. Circus boys gotta stick together! ...No really, they've got like a whole act worked out together.

Tatsu is another close friend and trusted ally of the bats. Though she doesn't work often with them under normal circumstances as she usually has her own things going on, when they're in a real pinch they can call on her, knowing she'll answer.

Lonnie's position within the batfamily is...complicated, as he doesn't always see eye to eye with some of them.

Despite not always getting along (with Bruce in particular), he does help out the family from time to time when they have need for him, and has admitted that he prefers being friend over foe.

Gets along best with Stephanie and Harper.

Had somewhat of a rivalry with Tim when they were kids. They're both (mostly) over it now.

Sort of awkward around Jason since it's highly possible Lonnie's biological father is the Joker... in this verse it totally is canon

Whatever is left to break down ;

Lincoln - aka Thomas Wayne Jr - Bruce’s younger brother that he was unaware most of his life that he even had.

(I’ve not really decided what to do with him yet, he’s only been fleshed out in this verse far enough for me to have decided that he definitely exists here, his backstory will mostly follow comic canon but after that I don’t know yet)

Thomas is Bruce (and Lincoln)’s father from an alternate timeline where he didn’t die (so, again, also not a huge divergence from comic canon, except this one isn’t an asshole who tries to ruin his son’s life and break his spirit whilst claiming it’s to help him...)

(I haven’t decided yet what to do with him. Do I want him to also be Batman?? Do I want him to have retired??? We’ll see... He, much like Lincoln in this verse, hasn’t been fleshed out beyond ‘he exists’, yet.)

#my batfam AU #Earth 7777777 #7Sevens or 7s for short #I spent fucking hours writing this all up lmao god damn.#Helena being from an alternate timeline is the only way I could make the age I wanted her to be work w/ the ages I wanted Bruce and Selina

asdfghjkl; I probably missed something so i'm sorry if this sounds dumb, but in your clone verse, why are the clones so afraid of meeting Damian, more than Batman? like is it just the whole "might try to kill us" thing like Damian's afraid of, or more of an existential crisis?

A (probably different) Anonymous said:

I may have missed something but in your Clone Damian's au, why are the clone so afraid of meeting Damian?

In reference to this and this and this.

Sorry guys! Unless you’re one person who submitted twice assuming Tumblr ate the first one. In which case two people’s worth of sorry for just you. ;D

Thank you for the question. Took a while to answer. This is a really complex one and my computer keeps freezing or remotely updating when I’m about halfway through composing an explanation, so I have to start over. I’m backing up this one ffs.

So...first of all, you haven’t missed anything. It hasn’t been explained. I just said there were a lot of reasons and they unavoidably have a complicated one-sided relationship.

It’s mostly for emotional reasons that they’re focused on Damian. They have logical ones for wanting to plan their approach carefully if they have the option, and they are somewhat leery of him in terms of personal direct violence, but their kneejerk aversion to the point of steering away from a potential safe harbor/backup because they’re trying to put off a difficult confrontation is all interpersonal anxiety.

Nuhum (9) and Chihaarum (4) were banking on fleeing to Batman’s doorstep in high distress to get them in the door, because Talia liked to call Bruce sentimental and they figured even weirdo clone children can play on that, if they’re running from assassins. (Haftum thought this was a dumb idea. The others’ opinions of it varied.) But once they’d linked up with Tim, even those two admitted that the gain of having strategy help from someone who actually knew the parties involved was a better bet than ‘looking pathetic and hoping.’

As far as wanting to avoid Damian particularly...they’re his spares. One of their functions in existing at all has always been in case he needed emergency organ transplants.

In canon Talia replaced a bunch of his squishy organs and his spine on separate occasions before we found out she’d gotten into cloning him; it’s comic book medicine so the speedy recovery/lack of need for anti-rejection treatment doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but in context the meaning seems pretty clear.

There was more than one clone made, and at least one had been taken to pieces before Damian knew there were any at all.

The septuplets have an exaggerated expectation of Damian’s influence with Batman, but also he’s just been this figure in their lives as long as they can remember. He looms.

They ran because Talia had finally started coming to terms with his defection enough to start talking about selecting one of them to train up as a new heir/possibly his destined nemesis on her bad days; one of her hesitations was over whether defeating the other copies would actually prove the survivor was good enough to put up against the Real One(tm).

They know how he was brought up; they know almost nothing about Batman or why Damian chose to stay with him, and they’re cynical enough about Ra’s managerial approach to think it wouldn’t take much to make for a better offer than remaining an Heir of the House of al Ghul. So no, they don’t know he won’t try to kill them to assert his existence and/or supremacy, and they know he’s far more dangerous than they are, one for one.

This ‘verse assumes the League of Deadly Assassins is, primarily, a cult, and that like most cults a lot of the energy applied internally goes to making sure the members are primarily dependent on the organization, its norms, and its leader, for emotional validation etc. Damian and his clones all need support to deprogram, especially since they don’t have any pre-cult sense of reality to go back to; they however as mentioned in an earlier ask have very different needs, because Damian didn’t have brothers.

The cloneboys’ indoctrination went badly in large part because of their unclear status within the League. They got a blend of the lessons and ideology intended for the elites and that meant for the disposable foot soldiers, and the inconsistencies there, combined with having one another for support and reality checks (because a tendency to not see them as separate individuals meant a certain sloppiness about keeping them emotionally isolated from one another) allowed them a more realistic view of the League than Damian had even a few years older than they are. But they are still little kids, and it’s all they’ve known.

So Damian is just...an enormous figure for them. It’s like...idk...if Luke had known Anakin Skywalker was still alive and had gone bad, except Obi-Wan was 500% more a dick, and talked about Anakin around him constantly and sometimes called him by Anakin’s name by mistake. Probably it was a mistake. Who knows.

Except with somehow massively more identity issues involved, and Batman in place of the Emperor, leading to much more nuanced conversations because Bruce is just a more complex figure than Darth Sidious, especially from the respective perspectives of Talia and Obi-Wan.

And if Darth Maul kept popping in and out and annoying Obi-Wan by distracting, er, I guess Owen Lars, who is now Ra’s al Ghul, what have I done.

(Maul is Tim. Analogy-Luke has never seen Maul, but he has been complained to about him. Talia doesn’t actually have nearly Obi-Wan’s Maul issues with Tim. Should he be Dooku? Somehow not dead? And then...Dick is represented by Maul I guess? And...Jason is Ventress??? This has gotten way too complicated. In irrelevant directions. Please ignore this entire parenthetical.)

Also Leia is there. Leia represents Haftum. He gets a whole Skywalker twin to himself because he’s just so consistently pissed off.

Regardless of how badly I tormented it, I think that analogy did a much better job than any of the essays I previously attempted to convey their perspective with, so I’m letting it stand.

Except of course Damian isn’t their father, but they don’t know if he’d be willing to see them as brothers either, and they’re not all sure they want him to.

Meeting Damian is just a really alarming prospect for a lot of reasons, and they’d rather a) have time to plot how it goes and b) give as little impression of weakness to him as they can. So they would really rather not have him come to their rescue just now, if at all avoidable. Tim offered them options.

Although in reality saving them would probably have helped to put them in 13-year-old Damian’s relative good books, because one of the more heroic aspects of his character s a proprietary sort of protectiveness over small creatures he has chosen to defend. But they have no way of knowing that.

Second Friday YJ appreciation

1-3 ; 4-6 ; 7-9 ; 10-13 ; 14-16 ; 17 ; 18 ; 19 ; 20 ; 21 ; 22 ; 23 ; 24-26

—————————— Private security

- Will has the dad belly! Lian is cuter and cuter! <3 (But it’s just me or she seems less Asian than in season 2? Where’s Jade?)

- Lucas Carr! :D (For those who don’t remember him, he appeared in the first YJ comic book and in season 2 when he teachs Gar at Mount Justice.)

- Why Dr Jace stays at Luthor Grande Hotel, in Metropolis!

- Bowhunter Security! With orignal Roy/Arsenal, clone Roy Will/Red Arrow and clone Jim Harper/Guardian (So if he’s Guardian again, what about Mal? He’s still a hero? Which one?) I love the dynamic of the Harper family and Roy calls Will bro!! He has finally dealt with his trauma (he seems to) and considers Will like he’s older brother! :3

- Dick in a security costum! Just like in Titans with the policer costume. He has a new outfit every Friday!

- “An old soul in an young body” Another clue for the Motherbox theory! So the first Halo is still alive inside or gone for good?

- Zatanna! TT.TT

- American genetically modified beef! xD

- Am I the only one who sees Jeff x Dr Jace miles away?

- “To the SUV!” My new war cry!

- Now Brick has red skin, it means he activated his metagene. How did he get out of jail by the way?

- I love how they show the Prince’s not understanding. He asks questions instead of jugement and “it’s a machine. I don’t understand.” instead of “You’re dumb” or something.

- I’m kind of afraid of Wolf sleeping. Don’t tell me he’s getting old and will die soon :(

- All Halo knows from her post life is violence, torture and hatred. No wonder she doesn’t want to remember...

- Don’t forget the clipboard! xD Will is more loyal to it than to his hat!

- OMG! Giovanni aged so much in just 7-8 years! He’s what? Between only 40-50! Side effect of Dr Fate’s control?

- “Wall” My heart, why? TT.TT So heartbreaking than Dick is too afraid to be part of a team because he lost Jason and Wally and Barbara gets injured.

- “I’m older than Jim.” So Jim was made after Will. interesting!

- Harper’s family business! Need more episodes with those 3!

- I really loves the humour in this episode! xD

—————————— Away Mission

- Forager! Orion! Wait, what a bastard! :o

- Gregor tries to protect his little twin brother and has compassion for the Quracis refugies. I love him!

- Bear! Wait there’s a thing between him and Dreamer?! The notebook with the photos! The nostalgia!

- So the New Gods use metaslaves? O.o

- Traci, Jaime and Bart! :D And Jaime finally talks! Now Scarab’s turn! “There’s no sound in space. The physics on the show is so messed up!” It’s Jaime or Scarab who speaks? Or Jaime took the comment habit of his bug friend? I definitely see Scarab saying something like that! xD So Traci watches the shw for the story or for Gar? “Hello Megan!” Their ringtone for the missions is the generic of this show! So cute!

- Cassie and Tim have a conversation without yelling at each other. That’s an healthy relationship. So I hope they won’t break up :( “Awkward...” Sorry Virgil, you seem pretty alone :(

- Jaime, why do you massage your side? Bart didn’t hit you that hard, did he? And he calls him amigo, sorry Bluepulse shippers... (Well, at least it isn’t hermano, so maybe Bart’s just pinning, whatever that means.) I was expected Scarab to yells “Incompatible!” to the boom tube... “Who watch the show for the physics? Who uses a boom tube for the physics?” I love the dynamic of this trio! And Traci is so adorable! Bart’s haircut changes every frame or what?

- “I hacked the Justice League’s computer!” That’s my boy! xD And G designation is for Grayson right?

- M’gann and Cassie are two mad girlfriends, poor guys (Jaime, Bart and Virgil) they didn’t do anything wrong :/ “Superoblivious!” xD

- “Excuse me?” xD The Yj comic reference with Lucas Carr! Brion who wants to impress Halo.

- Even in bug form, M’gann is still white! :) It’s me or Blue just growls?

- Guys, stop stressing Brion, you gonna make him fail :( What did I say? —‘ “My trees” So Lucas Carr is a neightboor or something? “Excuse me?!” New color for Halo: Yellow is for attacking. I want to see what the green does!

- I love how M’gann put down her little brother like the older sister she is. So she used to hide behind a green form and her little brother behind a beast? You can see M’gann growth throught the comparison with her brother. “I have been dealing with the red and green oppression.” Wait, so there are red martians too? And is for Darkseid he made the bugs made at the New Gods? So they have less allies against him?

- Every metateens we saw so far doesn’t look human anymore. I don’t know if thee Light are doing that on purpose so we could not recognize them anymore or it’s because the forced evolution is too much for their body :(

- Is Halo healing herself like a reflexe or does Sphere help the processus to begin? Violet? That’s so cute! Wait, another supermartian parallel!

- Bart still has the same energy! (I hope this is not an act this time...) I love the Team dynamic: Virgil helping Cassie and thir hand five, Bart trying to stop the bugs from attacking Jaime, Cassie rescuing Jaime, Jaime helping Traci :3 The weapon has to be similar to Genesis tech to hurt Blue however...

- Baby martians look... cute? I think when he kills the green martian, it was on the mental plane and not a memory since he has that beast form. The nostalgia! Everyone is back in season 1 and with their season 1 version of themselves, except Artemis and... why do you have to bring Wally in every single damn episode?? Conner is M’gann shield!

- And two more metateens dead TT.TT Wait, failsafe? Poor Forager! He just wants justice and kindness :( I love how Cassie and Jaime jump on his side and M’gann adds two arms to adapt to his appearance. I’m sure M’gann’brother made the green bug mad telepathically, because Mantis already knew Forager brought the Earthlings and Bear on New Genesis when he first stopped the bugs’ attack.

- I need more of the trio Traci/Jaime/Bart to see their friendship, Traci’s story. And more Cassie and Virgil screentime because we barely saw them in season 2 and in this episode :(

- Why Blue seems so angry all the time? He had like one positive line in this episode. Is he still dealing with his trauma in season 2? Is he angry at himself? I don’t know if it’s anger, frustration or self-hatred :( I just want him to be happy after the nightmare in season 2 :( But I think it would be more human if he still has to deal with himself after being mindcontrolled for months...

—————————— Rescue Op

- Black Spider and Terra. The goggles have to much screen time to not have an importance after. Who was Jackie? “All the bosses will be proud” So Shadows + Light + Darkseid?

- So Barbara is indeed in a wheelchair :( I love how she still can push Dick down :) And barbdick are a new couple :) We need another ship name, a more YJ like one :)

- The Outsiders trio is so cool! So Forager don’t use pronouns so much. So he’s a he, she or them? Wow, Halo knows a lot about New Genesis. Another clue for the Motherbox theory. M’gann is so done to explain she’s not a earthling: “I’m not from Earth” “I’m from Mars!” “Brion is the alien to Forager” this is so true. Thanks for putting this! I love how Brion is so enthousiastic to meet aliens :) He looks like a kid! So bioship is in a car camouflage. Maybe that’s why Halo hurt herself so bad :( Mars town xD “That’s what we were thinking too. We? Uh Me” (and Oracle xD) So is Tara controled, brainwashed, has her memories rewritten? Or is she willingly working for the Shadows?

- Why I think Forager x bioship will become a... ship? xD Like Will x clipboard xD

- Dick, if you don’t want them to go to the Shadows, why did you show Brion their localisation? --’

- Halo’s enthousiasm is so cute! Forager’s too!

- Why it feels like Sensei is manipulating Brion with words just to make him mad? I’m sure he’s lying.

- Can we talk about Brion’s extreme reaction to Halo’s death? Parallel to Spitfire maybe? And can we please stop killing Halo? I know she will ressurect but it’s still painful :(

- Why the ninja fighting style reminds me of Robin? Like an older Damian?

- It’s indeed Sphere who starts the healing processus. “Is Halo a new god?” Another clue for the theory?

- When Ra’s mention “the Detective”, Dick growls. Is he mad at Batman? Or at the comment? Ra’s isn’t with the Light and at the head of the Shadows anymore. So who? Sportmaster? Cheshire or Deathstroke would be good clues! Ra’s should be mad at Jade with how he said “Get out!”

- Talia with Damian? So who is... Jason?? An amnesic Jason. Ok. I’m fine. I just need to... WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???? (I don’t like the deisgn of Talia which is too close from the animated movies: no bra is definitely not a good idea to fight and she looks too white for an Arabic person :/ Damian is ok I guess?) Do Ra’s want to “return” Jason when he will have his memories back or to use him against the batfamily? Jason should have been trained by Sensei for Dick to not recognize his fighting style.

- Brion really looks like Conner’s mentee with his clothes xD The parallel with the first trio (Robin, KF and Aqualad) Why are you breaking my heart like this? Except they did save Superboy when we don’t have intel of where Tara is :( Dick is still so sensitive when we talk about Wally :( And he looks so much like Batman now: same speech. Same situation, same result: another team is born! Poor Violet :( And the guy with the spiderweb tatoo could work with the Shadows? Or am I confusing with RWBY? xD

3 episodes = 3 trio. I love it! :D I know we will have more scenes with the Outisders but I also need the other trios: more screetime with the Harperfamily (the bowfamily?) and the Team!

I guess we will see the Batman Incorporation next week? Since we didn’t see them at all in 6 episodes. And more second season team would be great too, they only have one episode so far :(

Face the Music - Part 4

Waking up tied to a chair, with the people you once called family standing around you is not the way you had wanted this assignment to go.

“Good, you’re awake”

“Fuck off, Bruce. So this is what you’ve resorted to? Drugging your own daughter and tying her to a chair?”

Damian steps forward, sometimes you think his face has frozen permanently into a sneer, “Do not talk to father that way, harlot. I told him that we should have killed you on the docks, left a message for the League”

You grin, “Oh you’ve left a message! Mother already knows that you’ve turned this into a hostage situation. She’s on her way!!”

Your twin scoffs, “Do you really think that you’re that important?”

“I am to her. I may have been ignored and treated like a no-body while I was here, but at the League I have a purpose”

Conner looks hurt by your words, “You mattered to me, Y/N”

“I mattered to you?! Is that why you didn’t come to visit me like you promised?!? Is that why I never once heard from you in SIX YEARS!?!?!? How much could I have mattered to you, Kon, if you couldn’t even put in the effort to figure out where I had disappeared to?!” You let out a soft chuckle, “You know I kept an eye on you while I was training. I mean, who did you think was the one to check on Martha and take care of the farm when you and Clark were busy, the one to cover you in the middle of a battle, the one to leave you letters? Did you think all those things just happened?”

His eyes widen, mouth dropping open in shock, “I – I …”

“I loved you, Conner. You were my best friend, my only friend really, and I loved you with everything I had.” You let out a self-deprecating chuckle, “I guess it’s a good thing you broke my heart. When you’re an empty shell, nothing can hurt you anymore”

“Y/N …”

“I’d like to go to sleep now, Bruce. If you wouldn’t mind that is, I mean if you have a schedule you have to keep, be my guest. But you won’t be getting anything else from me tonight”

Your father pushes a button, and the uncomfortable chair stretches into a steel slab. “I’ll get you a blanket, but you’re staying here tonight”

“I’ve slept on worse”

You manage to sleep on and off until about 2 AM, that’s when your twin brother decides to pay you a visit.

“I hate you”

“Save it for someone who cares, brat”

Damian snarls, “You’ve been nothing but a burden all your life. When will you finally just leave us alone?”

Twisting your wrists nervously, you try and shift as far away from Damian as you can, “I tried to leave, father wouldn’t let me. Unlock the cuffs, Dami. Let me go, I’ll leave and never return to Gotham, you’ll never see me again”

“I could do that, yes. Or I could just kill you now. It would be so easy ...” He picks up your own dagger, permanently infused with a poison that will leave the body writhing in agony until death, “I could do what was meant to be done all those years ago …”

“It would not be honorable to kill me while I am unarmed!!”

Damian smirks, “I care not about honor, sister, just your death” The dagger rises, poised over your abdomen. Damian intends to make you live a while, in complete agony, until either the pain or the blood loss kills you.

“Damian”

Your brother freezes, knife still poised over you. “Mother?”

Talia al Ghul steps out of the shadows, several other League members behind her, “Damian, my son, I would suggest putting down the dagger. I would hate to hurt you”

“You would choose her over me?!?!”

“Y/N is my daughter, she is also Heiress of the Demon, she also has a Kryptonian who would seek revenge for her death. Do you want to risk that, my son?”

Damian snarls, but tosses the knife to the side, and presses the locking mechanism to release you from the table. Jax, one of your personal guards when at the Compound, steps forward, handing you the discarded knife, “Thank you”

Talia slowly steps forward, checking you for injuries, before pressing her forehead against yours, “Did they hurt you?”

“No, I was drugged, but not injured”

“Good” She turns and reaches out for your brother, drawing him into a brief hug, “While I have missed you a great deal, my son, I am disappointed in your actions. Trying to kill your sister while she cannot defend herself. Has your father taught you nothing of honor?”

“I’m sorry, mother”

Talia sniffs, unimpressed, “Bring out the others, it is past time to have a ‘family meeting’. I am quite tired of my beloved’s antics” Several League members step forward, guiding your father and brothers forward. “Where is the Kryptonian?”

“We had to use kryptonite to subdue him, mistress”

Four League members are carrying Conner, who’s covered in sweat, and limp. Shocked, you quickly bark out orders, “Put him on the table, and get that away from him!” Once he’s on the table, you gently brush the hair off his forehead, “If he’s hurt, I’ll kill you all. Understand?”

“Yes, mistress”

Slowly Kon’s eyes clear, a dopey smile splits his face when he sees your face hovering over his, “Y/N …”

“Are you alright?”

He slowly sits up, “A little dizzy, but I’m fine” Finally taking in the various assassins surrounding everyone, he glances back at you, “Um … what’s going on?”

“It’s time to sit down and talk about the treatment of my children. And you, Mr. Kent, my daughter seems quite infatuated with you, skipping lessons to see you, traveling across the world to leave notes and ensure your safety. I’d like to know your intentions toward her”

“We – we spent a lot of time together before she left. She was my best friend, and … and I thought I loved her, was gonna ask her on a date, but she was already gone by the time I got the courage to go to her”

Talia hums softly, “And you never searched for her? You obviously didn’t care enough about Y/N to find her, to fight for her”

“Bruce told me she was dead!! And I did search! For the first two years she was gone I searched! Eventually Bruce told me that she committed suicide! We had a funeral! It was Y/N’s body in that box!!” Kon looks shaken when he turns tortured blue eyes to you, “When I first saw you in the warehouse I didn’t believe it. I took the injection and used it on you because I thought you were some kind of clone, and I – I was so angry that the League would do that to you. But – but even if you were a clone I still couldn’t hurt you, not really”

Tears slowly drip down Conner’s face, he … he looks so much older now. No longer the teenager you left behind, but a man who thought he buried you, “I’m sorry, Kon. I didn’t know they told you I was dead, I would have left some kind of clue if I did” You pull Conner into a tight hug, letting him cling to you as he trembles.

Talia turns, facing your father, “Really, Beloved? You had a funeral for our daughter and didn’t even invite me?”

Jax takes great pleasure in ripping the gag off Bruce’s face to let him speak. “I didn’t know what to tell the press, it made the most sense …”

“That is where you are wrong, Beloved. What would have made sense was to tell the media that Y/N was away visiting her mother, and was traveling the world. Instead you claim that she is dead, completely stop trying to see her after only one failed attempt, and you continue your lives like Y/N never existed. Does that sum up what you did?”

“Mother …”

“Quiet, Damian. I haven’t even begun to speak of what you did. You would belittle her, claim that she was useless, and a burden, claim that I made a mistake in letting her live. You were wrong on all accounts. I never intended to kill my daughter, Ra’s had made plans to kill her, but once he was dead those plans were changed. I always saw the potential in your sister, but I was not allowed to act on it until I became the Demon Head” Talia’s lip lifts in a sneer, “She has done more for the League than you ever could have done, Damian, and what do you do? You try to kill her while she is tied down, and defenseless”

“You all claimed that I was brainwashed by the League. Did you ever think that I enjoy being a part of the organization? That, because they treat me like a human being and not some annoying pet, that I am loyal to them? You all rejected me as your family, would only claim me when it was convenient for you, but they … they truly saw me for who I was. Was it really so shocking to see me happy that you thought I was brainwashed?”

“Y/N …”

“No, Bruce. You were never a father to me, and Damian you were never a brother. Jason, Dick, and Tim were never around enough to know what was really going on, or to get to know me. I have friends, family, a purpose at the League, and that is where I intend to stay.”

Your mother runs her fingers through Bruce’s hair, fisting it and forcing him to look in her eyes, “I will leave my son with you because you have already turned him against me. Y/N will be coming back to the Compound with me, to continue her training. I will permit you to send letters to her, if any of you so desire” Releasing Bruce, she turns to face Conner, “You now have a choice. You can stay here, perhaps send Y/N letters if you remember her, or you can come with us. I will not force you to join the League, as you are not an Assassin, however you will be in an alliance with us. You will live at the Compound, and have the freedom to come and go as you please.” Talia steps toward you, slowly melting into the dark shadows that fill the cave, “I will give you one week to decide, Connor Kent. I suggest you choose wisely.”

With another gesture the rest of the League members begin to disappear, one by one slipping into the darkness, until no one is left but four tied up vigilantes, and one Kryptonian. Kon has a choice to make, now the true question is, will his decision be the right one?

WHAT WILL HIS DECISION BE?!?!?!?!!??!
