#billy: (functionally invulnerable and has enhanced healing)

[inamindfarfaraway]

My contribution to the ‘Billy Batson and the Batfam’s Legally Binding Bonding’ bandwagon: Jason Todd adopts Billy.

Jason has just done something greatly impressive from a vigilante standpoint, but now every villain in Gotham is out for his blood even more than usual. So to lay low for a bit, he leaves town. Heads to a city with a very different atmosphere and criminal underworld to Gotham, where none of his enemies will think to look or have influence - Fawcett City. Maybe Roy is with him, because Jayroy makes everything better.

He parks his car in an alley one day. What does he see when he comes back? What does he see? A twelve-year-old homeless orphan boy with black hair and blue eyes hotwiring his fucking car.

He stares at Billy.

Billy stares back at the dreaded killer Red Hood.

It’s poetic. It’s fate. The stars have aligned. Lian gets an awesome older brother who’s also sometimes a magical adult superhero. Bruce is now officially a grandfather and proud beyond measure, and though horrified to learn his Justice League teammate of two years is a child, relieved to know he’s at least now got a good support system. Billy, for his part, is himself aghast to discover the Goddamn Batman is that idiotic celebrity billionaire guy. Dick, Duke and Steph get along with him like wildfire. Damian’s somewhat jealous of no longer being the youngest in the family, but warms up to Billy and is protective of him, being reminded of Jon.

And all those villains? They can say hello to Captain Marvel.

UPDATE: the first chapter of the official fic is up!
