Mistletoe: Jason Todd X reader
Christmas bingo day 15: mistletoe
Christmas bingo masterlist
Tumblr media
"for the love of –‘’
She really should have seen this coming, right?
***
“Y/n?” she was barely reacting too distracted by what her beloved boyfriend Jason just told her “YN!” her blank face expression made Todd want to shake her a little to bring her back to reality. As for now he was effectively fighting that urge but each second of her acting like a lunatic were putting his patience to a very hard test. “How many fingers do you see?”
“Now that’s mean.” She came to life rolling her eyes at the charades
“Made you get back down to earth.”
“I’m shocked, not hazy.”
“Why?”
“Why?” was he even serious “you want the list on chronological or alphabetical order?”
“Humour me princess.”
“First: you’re attending a Christmas party at the Wayne Manor? You?”
“It’s only for Alfred’s cooking.”
“Mhm. Obviously.” she teased” Second, you are going to wear formal clothes? You?”
“I’m pretty sure you’ll like me in a suit, won’t you?” Jason reached for her waist pulling her closer to him and caressing the small of her back.
“I like you best when - “
“Oh, don’t I know that….” He murmured in her ear “we’ll get there too I promise.”
“Jace?” her sudden pulling back took him by surprise and when she raised her head to meet his eyes, the unclear message coming from them made him shiver.
“You don’t want to go?” a few years prior, if someone were to tell him he would actually have a girlfriend and wanted to show her off to his siblings and – well – Bruce- he’ll laugh at that person face. In the darkest times he was on the war path with his adoptive father and even being in the same city was almost unbearable. Not that it was sunshine and roses now, but they definitely worked through some differences and – a real miracle –talked for the first time in years. “It’s okay if you don’t.’ no matter the effort there was no way to hide the tone of disappointment in his voice. “we can spend the Christmas eve together, just the two of us and –“
“No! no, no! Jason. I do want to go. I mean , come on, Wayne Manor. Maybe I’ll finally wrap my head around the fact that my boyfriend is the son of a billionaire and start taking advantage of it.” She laughed happily ruffling his hair, that were calling for a hairdresser, but she loved that unruly shag regardless. “I just wonder-“
“what? You’re chickening out? You already know all of them, guess that eliminates the element of surprise when Dick climbs the chandelier or starts balancing on the chair.”
“Am I reading too much into it?”
“What are you talking about, princess? What’s there to overinterpret – oh!”
“Yeah….” She muttered and looked down, suddenly embarrassed of what she said, cursing herself internally for destroying the atmosphere as his grip weakened and mouth hanged open. “You’re inviting me to an official party. As your official girlfriend….”
“It’s not like they don’t know we’re together. Damn, Y/N, you had no idea how much teasing I had to put up with.”
“What did you to Tim, Jason?”
“Nothing! I swear.” he let go of her completely, much to her irritation, raising hands in surrender. The man build like a tank were trying to protect himself from his significantly smaller girlfriend.
“Jason Peter Todd.”
“Nothing permanent. Now, don’t change the subject.”
“Me? I’m still waiting for your answer.”
“You’re not reading too much into it. I want you there. Officially. Before someone get any stupid ideas of stealing you away from me.”
“Not a change, pretty boy.” She drummed her fingers on his chest, feeling his heartbeat “not when I almost give you a heart attack every time I’m near you. It’s the kind of power you don’t give up easily.”
“You say that now, you power-hungry woman. I’m sure you’d love some more hearts to your collection.”
“I have always been a fan of quality rather than quantity. And so it happens I got the best quality available on the market” she smiled at him lovingly, her pretty eyes sparkling.  
“You’re mine, you little tease” in a blink of an eye he was holding her again, running fingers through her hair and connecting their foreheads, letting himself be vulnerable and wishing she could read his mind and hear the words he was unable to articulate “thank you…”
Thank you for existing.
Thank you for staying by my side.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for accepting my broken, imperfect love.
***
As every real woman, she had nothing to wear and had to fix some outfit with the old clothes, found at back of the closet, about to feel terribly underdressed.
Or at least that was the plan, before she found neatly wrapped package with her name written across the paper and became a proud owner of the most beautiful and elegant dress she has ever seen.
Turned out Jason had an amazing sense of fashion, picking an outfit serving as a mix of style and quietness.
However, when she asked him about it, the only answer she get was I know what I want to see you in. In Jason’s language it was a sign of care that she won’t feel like an outcast around the female guests, but also a little hint at potential jealousy and protection against possible lustful glances from other men.
Doing a poor job at the second part of it, cause once they entered the manor, all eyes landed on her, leaving Jason gritting his teeth and refusing to leave her alone for even a second. This drove him to such an extreme that he even followed her to the bathroom and was giving responses on her behalf whenever anyone dared to ask her to dance.
“No, of course you can not dance with her. Can’t you see she’s already got a partner, back off, dude.”
Such words were followed by the tightening grip on her hip each time a man gathered enough courage to come too close.
Too close being a couple feet.
“Jason!” she whined at some point “don’t be mean. You don’t dance, you had grown attached to the chair and I'm bored. Come on, just let go off me, it’s not like I’m going to run away from you or anything…” she tried to break free but it was no use, considering both Jason’s strength and possessiveness.
“Sorry, princess. I don’t trust those fops. Can’t risk their hands wondering some place only mine are allowed.”
“But Jay-“
“No one but me dances with you.” He said sternly and much to her surprise dragged her to the dancefloor. What was even bigger shock was that he actually knew how to move. He knew the steps, had a perfect sense of rhythm and definitely did not stump on her feet, not even once, holding her gently, leading her to the music and being delicate and protective, almost making her swoon with the charm.
Apparently, she didn’t know her boyfriend at all.At least not from this side.
He never failed to make her feel safe and loved, but now – encompassed by his arms, held like the most precious person in the world, she felt like a true princess. Something she never experienced before.
“How do you like that, love?” he whispered in her ear, holding her a bit more firmly, causing her heart rate to spike.
“moderately –“
“Then why is your heart racing?” he spun her around perfectly, making sure she was quickly and safely back in his hold.
“It’s not.”
“Well then, it’s about to.” He smirked guiding her a little bit to the right, looking up with the mischievous look in his eyes.
Mistletoe.
“You’re not going to kiss me in the crowd with everyone -“
He was going to.
And most importantly – he actually did.
Luckily she didn’t know that plant wasn’t there earlier and only appeared because of some skilfull vigilante being jealous of the glances thrown her way. Luckily she didn't hear the muffled chuckles coming from the side of the stairs as Dick, Tim and Damian appeared all together out of nowhere, after being gone for a longer while.
She didn't care.
Not as long as she was standing under the mistletoe fulfilling the tradition that came with it with the most wonderful and sneaky bastard if a man there was.
And who couldn't care less about the glances now.

You guys know what's wild as hell about Pjo fans ragging on Walker!Percy though?The fact that they keep saying he's not a good adaption of Percy because he's 'super lame'.Like first of all that's a child shut up and get a life bitch but also my actual point is that he's only lame from normies who think they're freaks perspective and i mean this in the sense of me being a lower class autistic adult and ex-troubled kid like book!Percy is and that's why i think both his version of Percy and Walker himself are cool as fuck.Like sorry to have to burst your bubble but Percy was never a stereotypical guy or a skater boy or a devil may care or popular in the mortal world and i'm bolding that last part as the important distinction-Percy is widely beloved BY OTHER DEMIGODS because they're also weirdos like him but regular humans still view him as a worthless and unappealing loser and this is very much intentional every step of the way.Demigods are a metaphor for neurodivergent otherhood,mortals are a metaphor for ableist neurotypicals and you guys fell for Percy's untrue self-image issues and his tormenters verbal abuse hook line and sinker.Me thinking Walker is really based is not only my opinion(and a fact)but also just me literally understanding the assigment from the get go and for ten years now lmfao!Y'all hate for his Percy Jackson kinnie and zero Peter Johnson energy swag💙
Also,i was gonna end it there but i need to add in this bonus as a black woman who's a lot like Leah personality wise and in presentation:Annabeth canonically dosen't want to be blonde because she wants to be seen as more than her looks and Leah's blackness freed her from it and erased the white feministic aspects of her to be replaced with good nerdy black girl rep so by extension her dynamic with Percy is actually equal and i love watching it which is a far cry from book!Percabeth and i hope they cast a black girl for Rachel(my beloved)too and let Jason's actor when the time for Hoo comes keep his hair black as they did Leah so all you 'Percy has a type and it's blondes' freaks will be exposed for the racists and pedo apologists you are💕💕💕

may I ask if you have any fic recs handy?? dw if not
Hmmm, well, let's see, what have I read recently that I especially liked . . .
. . . oh okay yeah I got way too into this, lol. wELP, such is life!!
Eyes Like Kryptonite, by dragonez. Supercorp. Lena Luthor gets an either time or dimensionally-displaced Kryptonian on her balcony who inexplicably seems to think a Luthor can help him, and then she has to deal with that. Kara does not love this development (but definitely loves Lena) and Conner just wants to get home to his family.
I Want It That Way, by WynterSky. TimKon. I cannot even explain to you how good this fucking fic is. Just--TimKon, but make it 90's. Why are you still here? Go read it. Go read it NOW.
Catherine/Bruce Medieval AU, by iselsis and PotatoLady. Catherine/Bruce, past Catherine/Willis. What it says on the tin, and also omegaverse. I am WAY too into this fic, hah, "Bruce saves Catherine and takes in her and Jason both" is so, so small a genre but so, so GOOD a genre. [ tw: past rape ]
You and me and them. Let's be pack. Let's show the world we chose each other, by Ace_of_Hearts4444. TimKon. Tim finds out Kon is a newly-presented stray omega in an AU where being packless is a Big Fucking Problem and Young Justice has some fucking FEELINGS about that fact.
The tale of a cat who stole a diamond boy, by Ace_of_Hearts4444. TimKon. I'm not really into "Tim is Stray/Catlad" AUs, but I am VERY into this TimKon concept. Also, like yes, obviously Tim is exactly unhinged enough to do this.
in the shadows, by Kieron_ODuibhir. Batman was Bruce Wayne's imaginary friend, but now he's Dick Grayson's. I could cut a bitch for more of this concept, oh my GOD. 💔
A Hummingbird Suspended, by poisonivory. Thad/Match. Thad gets out of the Speed Force and wants to fuck shit up, but unfortunately Match is very attractive and has even more unfortunately grown some morals.
Gut Feeling, by Ao3time. Lois finds a superclone in a lab and welp he's hers now. No takebacksies.
With Violet Light, by Evilpixie. Jason Todd wants to blow up the Batmobile and ends up a Star Sapphire. There's, uh, an adjustment period.
This isn't how things are supposed to go. But we've always been unorthodox., by RenkonNairu. Superbat, TimKon. Kryptonian omegas are not the same as human ones, and human alphas are not the same as Kryptonian ones. And therefore Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake are having a fucking time of it with Clark Kent and Conner Luthor, and Lex is just doing his damnedest to ruin as much shit as he possibly can. [ tw: rape ]
Talk That Slick Talk, by thebodydies. Kenan/Kon. Kenan meets a weirdly friendly stranger who's apparently trying to pick him up. Kon is literally just wearing fucking glasses, man. Also I desperately need more of this pairing, especially in this interpretation, please and thank you. [ this is just smutty kinky smut and you should immediately go bask in it ]
( annnnnd not-DC-but-still-superheroes bonus round!! )
I wanna be that guy (the girl under you), by Stackthedeck. SpideyTorch. Peter Parker/Johnny Storm + kink = gender?? [ more kinky smut for you to go bask in!! ]

"Call me Mystery" by Lilse - fic rec for those who can live without physical whump and canon-like action
okay but Call Me Mystery by Lilse has so many comments and is so interesting to discuss. Like. Author writes the dialogues and thoughts very cool. There is not much action in the fic, but it sure as hell has a lot of very intense stuff. I like it even more than the first part in the series. Lol Good Parent Bruce Wayne trope doesn't ruin it. And ROTATED CHARACTER POV! IT'S NOT! CENTERED! ON ONE! CHARACTER! it's nice. There is no one character in the center! They all get their chapters and you can't even separate them and skip to what you like. It's a complicated net. With holes, a little. But interesting and evolving.
The thing is, this story is not focused on how bad some people and actions are, and there is no character bashing. The story is focused on dialogues and misunderstandings and relationships of this very unusual family. And not what's good for vigilantes but what's good for them as people.
Characters: Bruce, Dick, Damian, Jason, Tim, Alfred. And young Dick and Jason from parallel universe, who named themselves John and Peter (second names).
(certainly not for people who thinks canon-only, but I don't see here any of very annoying fanon tropes and interpretations!!!!!!! or maybe I am biased because I'm following this story a long time already and not planning to drop it at all)
it's not like it's the best fic I love the most. And it's certainly not perfect. But it's something close and warm to me - because of how much work Lilse puts in there, and because of the way Lilse interacts with the readers. And the fact that, despite not really knowing canon, Lilse is not very biased and, in my opinion, all the characters in Call Me Mystery are valid. Well, Alfred is not enough there, but he has an excuse hshskaldhslamdpdpdlsfppff. Also Dick and Jason trying to be responsible adults and sometimes failing miserably - nice. And Jason's lemonades. And Dick's temper and tiredness. Tim has a bad time, but he's not woobified at all. And the fact that I finally, finally realised that this story has Bruce angst (for some reason I didn't notice it for very long time but now my eyes are open, I finally imagined myself in his place in this story). And. And. And Damian - I have no words,
Unfortunately, the characters outside of the listed are not mentioned (well, Gordon is, and someone else, but no other vigilantes or superheroes have attention). Cass and Duke probably don't exist here, bc Bruce doesn't mention them in his thoughts. That's okay, that's much better than showing some half-assed versions of them like some people do.
okay I have MUCH more to say about this fic but it doesn't matter what I think, because I would just write and write and write and write and it would be too long.

Bodyguard
Summary: There’s immediate chemistry when Y/N works as Neal’s bodyguard.
Words: 2,569
Requested by anon
            “I didn’t know there was a whole gym,” Neal commented, looking around with some interest at the exercise equipment. He almost considered asking if he was allowed down here without supervision, but then decided communal equipment probably didn’t meet his standards of cleanliness.
            Peter had brought him down to the basement floor and into a large, open room with black mats. One agent was running at a treadmill, another two were working at ellipticals, and a fourth was doing some push-ups in athleticwear. Lastly, on a slim side of the room without any extra equipment, but on a gymnastics mat, a pair of agents were working hand-to-hand training.
            “It’s not exactly here to be an amenity,” Peter pointed out, slowing down as they approached the agents working hand-to-hand. “We’re not here to work out, anyway. Jones says our guy’s reportedly quick to jump the gun. Possibly literally. I’m not having you go in alone.”
            They stopped a couple yards from the mat. One of the fighters was a tall man with arms that could give Jason Momoa a run for his money. The other was a woman with sweat dripping down her face and hell in her eyes. Neal was enchanted by you straight away. While they watched, the older man came at you to pick you up as if in a fireman’s hold, but you slammed her body weight right into his mass, tightened each fist around the opposite side of his shirt collar, and pulled your arms back across each other as hard as possible. Although the male agent was, in fact, able to grab you the second time, he couldn’t pick you up without choking himself harder, and he stomped his foot twice to reset.
            “I told you it would work,” you said smugly, releasing his shirt while he rubbed his throat. You turned and your eyes slipped right past Peter and Neal, zeroing in on your bottled water and hand towel at the edge of the mat.
            “Only in one-on-one,” your coworker cautioned, rubbing his throat with one hand. “And only for you would I ever bet on that one.”
            You wiped off her forehead and then gave Peter and Neal both a bright smile, holding the water bottle against her neck as if it were still cold. “Hi,” you said cheerfully. “You must be Burke. Lovely to meet you. I’m L/N.”
            “Neal,” the thief interjected himself, giving her his most charming smile. “That was very impressive.”
            “I’m sold,” you said to Peter straight away before turning back to Neal. “You can call me Y/N. I’ll be your bodyguard for your undercover operation.” You lowered her water bottle and gave him a short curtsy. “I’ve been with the bureau about two years, but aced weapons training and have been studying martial arts since I was a kid. You’ll be in good hands.”
            “Evil hands,” your coworker huffed, drinking water himself and still rubbing sorely at his neck. “Evil, evil hands.”
            Peter chuckled while Neal gave you a warm smile. “I already feel safer.”
            He didn’t feel threatened at all, really, and some traditional, gentlemanly part of himself didn’t love the idea of a female bodyguard. Not that he didn’t appreciate strong women; it could be argued he appreciated strong women a bit too much – but it felt different, somehow, to go in expecting a woman to take a hit for him and hit back on his behalf, compared to simply going in with a female partner and trusting her to have his back. Bodyguard had a different connotation he didn’t like so much… but, bodyguards had their place in the environment he’d be trying to blend into.
            Y/N smiled back at him. It could’ve been just his imagination, but he thought you were charming him, too. Maybe flirting a little. Just as he thought you were having a moment, Peter ruined it by interrupting to talk shop.
            “We’d love to get you up to white collar and run down the plan early,” he said. The smile slipped off of your face, replaced immediately by a completely professional and solemn expression. Peter continued, “Let you sleep on it, and give an opportunity to think of any questions before we officially get started.”
            “I just need twenty minutes and I can be in your division,” you said, pointing over towards the door that Neal presumed led to the showers.
            “Take thirty,” Peter said kindly, then sending a playful look over Y/N’s shoulder. “You alright there, Chris?”
            Chris, who had started cooling off while they talked, gave a thumbs-up. “I’m just going to miss her so much,” he said sarcastically, making you smirk. “Who else is going to make me look average?”
            “I’ll be back to combat training before you know it,” you promised him teasingly, giving Neal a lingering look of what he decided was friendly interest before heading to the showers to clean off.
            Neal watched you go, mindfully keeping his eyes up north. It wasn’t often he met agents who were so willing to broadcast friendliness towards him, much less ones who were willing to be a little bit flirty. And, he had to admit, he liked that athletic look you had.
            “Eh,” Peter said, making the noise sharp in his throat like he did at Satchmo. Neal startled and Peter shook his head. “Don’t even think about it.”
            “Never,” Neal agreed, inwardly rolling his eyes. No point in arguing when Peter had already decided he was misbehaving. “Just-“ His agent made the noise again and Neal’s lips tightened in irritation. “That’s so rude,” the thief scolded.
~~~ Bodyguard ~~~
            “Don’t worry,” you said, misinterpreting Neal’s long look at the wire being fastened on the inside of your button-down shirt. “This isn’t my first time.”
            It was low-hanging fruit, so to speak, but the joke was impossible to pass on when you were standing there with the top buttons undone. “I’ll still be gentle,” he joked, chuckling when you stuck your tongue out at him.
            “I won’t,” you retorted, grinning when he was pleasantly surprised.
            With the wire in place, you pulled on a black blazer that you wore open. It looked amazing, framing your waist and hugging your shoulders. He had to remind himself that if he flirted too hard, Peter might send him to the HR department. Not that he was worried, because you weren’t being too shy about your attraction to him, either. Neal was a very handsome man, and you knew he was very smart on top of that. Smart, hot guys were kind of a weakness.
            But attraction or a conflict of interest was also a weakness – and that was the type of weakness that you had been trained to avoid. While you worked together, you could be friendly, but professional. When the operation was done, though… you were in different divisions, with different specialties. You didn’t see any reason why you couldn’t offer to take him for coffee once you were done working together. Work just had to come first.
            In theory, the operation was a very simple one for you. You just stood slightly behind Neal, looking intimidating and watching his back. Agent Burke didn’t want him to be unprotected, but the odds of Neal actually being attacked were slim, between the FBI’s top-notch forgeries for his fake ID and his proven track record of de-escalation. Still, you looked the part and made sure he had someone. And you were glad that you did, because it turned out that this was one instance where even Neal couldn’t settle the ruffled feathers.
            Neal saw from the start that everyone was on edge. It wasn’t the great beginning that he had hoped for, but it was the worse case scenario that he had planned on. He turned up the charm to eleven, settling smoothly into his role as a proud but amicable thief, hoping that if he didn’t act like anything was amiss, neither would the armed men around him. With Y/N behind him, although he wanted to feel safer, he also knew that they were outnumbered – and he would much rather no fight started anyway. Even if you could guarantee his safety, he’d feel awful if anyone were hurt over him.
            Unfortunately, the worse scenario turned to the worst. The mark had already decided he didn’t trust Neal, and by extension, didn’t trust you. It didn’t matter how much of a smooth talker anyone was when your guilt was already decided. They looked for reasons to lash out, going as far as to search Neal’s person for a wire. Fortunately, he wasn’t wearing one because the bureau had stuck with the recording counterfeit watch. If it worked, why change it? But he could feel his heart speeding up even as he kept his breath even, knowing that if they didn’t find what they were looking for on him, they would check you next.
            “Alright,” Mark snapped, gesturing roughly at Neal to be moved away from the table. The cards were left shuffled but unfinished and Neal gave them a forlorn look as he was yanked away by one of the guards. “Her next.”
            The other one had shuffled into place behind you. By the rigid way you’d been standing ever since, Neal knew you were aware. You moved forward before the man had a chance to push you, but you left your jacket on and gave Neal a small look with a simple little nod as if telling him it was okay. Although he knew better than to look nervous, he couldn’t lie to himself that well – not with one gun in sight and finger-shaped bruises forming on his upper arm.
            Mark made the other guard take your jacket off from behind. You forced your shoulders to stay down and not look defensive. It also served the double purpose of not telegraphing your move before you made it. Just before Mark started patting you down, you whirled around, kicking your leg out and striking him in the groin. While he involuntarily went backwards while doubling over, you delivered a hard strike to the guard’s face with one hand and went straight for his gun with the other. In maybe five seconds, you had a firm grip on the weapon and were stepping away from both men, bringing the gun up to the other guard.
            As soon as the guard behind Neal realized what was happening, he’d hurriedly let go of the con artist and gone for his own sidearm. “Y/N!” Neal yelled in warning, throwing himself against the guard to throw off his aim.
            A bullet fired, but lodged itself firmly in the wall. The puffed loudly at being shoved aside and turned the gun back to Neal. Now you were pissed. You took a shot as the guard did. Another side of the room let out a crack from a stray bullet, his aim thrown – again – this time by your shot to his arm. He dropped the gun and Neal, who’d doubled over holding onto his arm, hurriedly scrambled to cover the grip with his shoe.
            “You okay?” You barked, rushing to him and hurriedly taking the gun up from the ground. You put the safety back on, tucked it in your empty holster, and put an arm in front of Neal, ushering the thief gently back towards the wall to have a more defensible point. By now, you were sure that backup was rushing in.
            “It grazed me,” Neal hissed, turning to look at his arm. The sleeve was ripped and a two-inch stripe over his arm was raw pink speckled with red. You took it in during just a glance and dropped your shoulders again, relieved.
            “I’ve seen much worse grazes,” you said reassuringly, but scolded, “You shouldn’t have gotten in the way. I had it handled.”
            Neal grimaced, replaying it in his head. You’d already been looking at the guard before he slammed his body into the man. He’d been so focused on the gun being raised towards you that, at the time, he hadn’t processed that you already had yours levelled at the man. You would’ve gotten the shot off first, and neither of you would’ve ended up hurt if Neal hadn’t jumped in in a momentary panic. When he did, you hadn’t had a clear shot until the guard was already aiming at him.
            “My bad,” he said pointedly, pushing his elbow out as if to remind you of the graze. It burned fiercely.
~~~ Bodyguard ~~~
            “I gave you a bodyguard specifically so this wouldn’t happen,” Peter complained when he had Neal sitting down. He didn’t seem to care that Neal’s seat was the back of an EMT van while a man quickly but carefully disinfected his arm.
            “She was outnumbered,” Neal said defensively. He already felt bad enough, but he’d genuinely feared for her life at the time. “I was trying to help.”
            “Next time help by trusting our professionals to do our jobs,” Peter rebuked. His eyes softened when Neal looked away from him. “This was too close,” he said more gently. “The worst outcome of a case is one where my people don’t come back in one piece. I know you were trying to help, but this is what she was trained for. I wouldn’t send you in with someone who couldn’t manage… I’m glad you’re okay.”
            Neal looked up reluctantly and saw nothing but sympathy and concern in Peter’s eyes, so he drew himself up a bit and nodded understanding. “Thanks,” he said quietly, and then dismissed the sentimentality of their exchange by complaining, “No one ever said how much this hurts.”
            “Pain is a good teacher,” Peter said dryly. “Don’t do it again.”
            After checking with the EMT that Neal didn’t need a hospital after Neal himself turned down the offer of a ride, Peter gave him a pat on his uninjured side and went back to the agents cleaning up the crime scene. He’d barely been gone a minute when you came to join Neal, hands in your pockets, stolen weapons surrendered.
            “You did good,” you said with a small smile. “I appreciated your intent. I’d call it a learning opportunity.”
            “Yeah, consider it learned,” Neal sighed. He was also going to hear about this from Jones and Diana, without a doubt. “Thanks for having my back.”
            “It’s what I’m here for,” you said courteously. It was hard not to point out that if he’d been alone, they wouldn’t have found a wire and a fight wouldn’t have had to happen. Still, the fact that they’d been itching for a reason made you glad he hadn’t gone alone. “I guess they’re arrested for shooting at us.”
            “The exact things we wanted access to were in the office,” Neal said, summarizing Peter’s initial glee when he’d arrived. As he did, the EMT put a light dressing on his arm. “By making it a crime scene, we got legal access to everything. They practically built our case for us, and got more charges against them.”
            “I guess the case is basically over, then,” you said with a cheery smile. “That means I can ask you out for coffee. Ill-advised or not, trying to save my life was rather attractive.”
            Neal chuckled, moving his elbow back to his side and standing up. “I’d love to get coffee, though I hope I didn’t just set too high a bar for myself.”
            “You absolutely did,” you teased.
~~~
A/N: I’m still working on the NCAC sequel, but I wanted to get something out sooner than later, so I made this. I hope you enjoy :) Don’t forget to comment or send a message if you want to be added to this blog’s Discord server!

Alright, I never do this but this needs to be talked about, i need a long rant. There are some people who are harshly judging the new Wednesday show (as to be expected with anything new) but it's getting to the point where it's a little frustrating. This is Tim Burtons re-imagining and NEW interpretation of the family and that's great! We can't keep sticking with the same thing over and over and over, it gets tiring BUT we can still have the same charm to the original formula.
There are people complaining that they turned into "psychopaths" and "murderers", " they would never hurt anyone or their own family!". Firstly, in the original comics: they have body bags labeled with different names stored somewhere in their house, pugsley and Wednesday are constantly threatening to kill each other even morticia told Wednesday to get back at him by poisoning him, they told the baby sitter to watch her back because the children would definitely find ways to harm her, pugsley creates torture devices AND created his own hazard signs to probably cause chaos and get others killed (the stop sign scene in the 90s movie), morticia even asks to borrow cyanide for god knows what. It's the fact people are saying the 90s movies are bad examples of their characters when they were pretty much spot on! Pugsley is also offered a cigar occasionally like come on. And the show from the 60s? Well that's different for its own reasons and you can't compare them to each other but they still had their dark humored jokes.
Oh and "Wednesday never smiles THAT'S NOT THE WEDNESDAY WE KNOW" she is drawn almost all the time smiling in the comics and smiles a few times in the movies because of her devious and creepy nature..she also enjoys stories being told to her, picnics playing with dolls and is also a ballerina in the 60s show, so don't say she's always this menacing evil child. There's so many contradictions with people's arguments like they can't make up their minds because they don't even know!
"The casting is terrible, gomez is ugly and fat, morticia looks nothing like morticia, and jenna is too old to be playing a child"...the casting is PERFECT. Gomez actually looks like himself from the comics and is nothing to be compared to raul julia..unfortunately he's gone now but someone else has to play gomez now. A character can't always be played by the same actor. Morticia doesn't always have to be a tall thin pale woman with her face plastered with makeup, and jenna ortega is young enough to play the part. She's literally 19. That's why she was picked in the first place and because she's a good actor? Like that's just how casting and acting works? We also don't even know how old she is in the show.
Do you people have any idea how many older actors have played younger characters? Tobey Maguire was 27 playing an 18 year old peter parker, Olivia Newton John played a 17 year old girl when she was 29...Jason Earles played a 16 year old when he was 29 like HELLO??? Most of your favorite characters who are young are played by people who are older than that. Anyway, The Addams family will always be the addams family, they love each other and will threaten anyone who messes with their family.
They are still the same silly and quirky 🤪 family that we've always known. I adored the show, loved the movies, and enjoyed the animated movies so I'm very excited for this one. What are you expecting? It's Tim Burton, it's going to be twisted, dark, weird and funny!
Change is good some times so please don't judge too harshly before even watching it. You can have your own opinions of course! But don't bash and hate something when you don't know anything about it.

Congratulations on your Top 22-list! Sheesh, I've been gone for a month and I feel like I've missed like half a life in the meantime. Anyway, reading through the list was a hoot. There was a surprising amount of RECENT comics as well on that list, and far up in the list too! Which leads me to a question about a story that DIDN'T make the cut, one that I was surprised didn't get a mention even at the bottom half of the list: Nightwing: The Great Leap. What made that one fall through the top 22?
Thanks, man! I was also surprised by how much recent stuff I included, but dang, it's really been a surprising last few year for good Two-Face content! When I first tried doing a Top 22 list five or six years ago, it was almost entirely older content. With potential exceptions like Peter Tomasi's work, including The Great Leap.
In fact, that story is a perfect example of why I was so riddled with indecision about how to compile this list. Before this year, I would have included Tomasi's The Big Burn and Ugly Heart (the New 52 stories) together as "one" story, but I could easily have also included The Great Leap as a kind of "trilogy" of Tomasi's particular take on Harvey, but that seemed like cheating.
The problem with all three stories is that they are all very mixed bags. Some absolutely fantastic Harvey content, combined with flaws from both Tomasi and DC editorial screwing around with things. For The Great Leap specifically, I didn't include it because of a few factors.
1.) Carol Birmingham. She was clearly made as a bland Rachel Dawes stand-in at Gilda's expense, and I have never liked Harvey having an emotional affair with her--and even LOVING her--more than Gilda. The fact that Tomasi forgot to make her a distinct character in her own right instead of just a damsel didn't help any.
2.) I hate how the story seems to be crafting a complicated, conflicted Harvey, then abandons it all in the third act to turn him into a supervillain maniac who shows no regrets nor torment over what he went through. ESPECIALLY since Harvey arguably succeeded in saving Carol from himself (by getting Nightwing's help in the first place), which could have been tragically bittersweet if Tomasi had wanted it to be.
3.) Nightwing's "No, Harvey, YOU let him win!" Dick's whole attitude towards Harvey makes perfect sense, including his callous disregard for Harvey's mental illness, but the way the narrative fully supports Dick's assertions by the end--despite everything we've seen--still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
There was a time when the pickins were slimmer for good Two-Face content that this could have still made the list. But now we're lucky enough to not have to settle for mostly mixed-bags. Hell, we're right in the middle of two potential all-time great Two-Face sagas: "Gotham Nocturne" in Tec and Batman: The Audio Adventures. It's been an exciting time! Even the mixed bags are more interesting to me than The Great Leap, like his oddball role in Priest's Deathstroke and his team-up with Jason Todd in Task Force Z. And when it comes to Tomasi, I'd still sooner include The Big Burn/Ugly Heart over TGL at this point.
I really look forward to revising the list in the coming years, to see which choices I made in 2022 have aged well and which haven't, not to mention what other new stuff might make the cut!

Unspoken Horrors Jason Todd // 2.2k 
Warnings: Jason Todd is grumpy, angst, emotionally constipated, Jason and you are VERY patient with one another, ps this isn't very well structured by atp I'm too lazy to edit
No one in the family saw you and Jason's relationship coming, but perhaps that's because the two of you knew each other so well that you didn't need to talk to understand.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There wasn't a single day that would pass without the mildly annoying teases the Wayne family has subjected you and Jason to.
Whether that was Dick's chuckles and wiggling eyebrows when he noticed Jason's cologne sticking to your skin or Damian's offhanded comments to Jason, noting how you could do so much better than him. All was harmless in the world of mischief and terror.
You see, you've been in the family's circle longer than you've been dating Jason Todd. It started when you had begun a friendship with the second Robin, a close enough friendship at that, where he told you he was Robin. Ever since then, you stuck around through thick and thin with the entire Wayne family.
Because you had grown up with them, it became quite a surprise when you and your lover had announced your relationship status to the family. Not because they saw the two of you more like a family, but because of how odd of a pairing it was.
Whilst, it was a given that you'd probably end up with one of them, seeing how close you were with relatively all of them. No one would’ve expected you to end up with, Jason Peter, fucking, Todd.
Everyone suspected you and Dick had Something going on due to how close you were. Always laughing and chucking together, causing trouble and mischief whenever the others weren't around. Having fun with the conversations that never seem to end with how many topics you and he could conjure up.
Or it might've even been with Tim, considering how much time you and he spent with one another. Though not a vigilante yourself, you’ve only ever seemed to train with Tim. Not to mention the hilarious fact that, you were probably the only person who would listen to Tim's rambles about everything and anything. Granted you didn't understand half of the things he was saying, but the fact that you listened anyways was still a big deal.
Hell, while you weren't as close with Duke, Cassandra, Barbara, or even Steph, you seemed to work with them easier than with Jason Todd.
Duke and you had the same humour; Cassandra loved listening while you talked, hanging around with Barbara whilst she worked behind the scenes with the bats was your go-to thing whenever you didn't have work that, and with Steph? The two of you have movie nights close to every week.
It didn't make sense that you ended up with Jason Peter Todd.
The man you barely seem to talk to after his death, the man who barely even participated in the same activities as you, and the man who, to be honest, didn’t seem to care about you as much as the others.
After being asked by a curious and somewhat suspicious, Damian Wayne, Bruce even noted that you and Jason seemed much closer when the latter was still Robin. Everything seemed to change after he died.
They all saw the lingering gazes you'd give Jason whenever he's in the same room as you, only to smile softly and then return to what you were doing. Jason never shared your glances, nor did he ever glance back. He was always busy with whatever he was doing at the moment.
On the other hand, most of the residents in Wayne manor could clearly see how Jason looked out for you in his own way. He'd leave your favourite granola bar and a cup of your favourite hot drink on the counter whenever he knew you would help Barbara whilst everyone else patrols Gotham. Though you never commented on it.
Not like when Dick fussed about you getting caught in the crosshairs of some petty gang fight, causing some bruises here and there, only for you to brush it off and lightly scold him for worrying so much about you and not himself.
Hell, Dick even remembered you commenting more about Jason's unspoken care when the boy was still Robin, teasing him left and right just to see a red blush sweep across the boy's face.
As previously stated, it was as if everything changed after Jason's death.
You knew how the family felt about your relationship with Jason, their doubts about whether your relationship would last or not, and the like. But you also knew that they didn't realize how little changed after Jason's death.
Sure, you and Jason talked less now than you did when he was Robin, but that was only due to the matureness you and he have now. Your conversations were left to be spoken when you were in his bed, warm bodies against one another, as he stroked your hair, and you traced mindless patterns on his bare chest. Those were the times the short conversations would be spoken.
Calm, soft, and full of utmost unbridled love.
There was a silent understanding that only the two of you had. The silent understanding that there was no need for joyous or over the top measures of love to understand one another. Not when your lives have been filled with too much excitement, both the good and the bad.
In one another's embrace, you felt calm. Jason finally lets his heart slow down, relishing in your warm touch, letting the adrenaline of constant fear and awareness leave. In one another, you both felt loved and cared for.
A shared understanding of unspoken care.
That couldn't be more seen during this moment right now. You and Jason both had your own ghosts to deal with. Him perhaps more literal than yours, you wouldn't know. He didn't share much of his experience of being dead. Either way, you both had Something heavy weighing each other down, and on some days. Those weights get too heavy.
So heavy, in fact, that it was tiring to even open your eyes. It was clear you both were made for each other during moments like these.
Today, Dick had decided to come to Jason's apartment, for what you didn't know, though it didn't seem overly crucial like it would've been if it was some vigilante business. As you were in the apartment at the time, and Jason was having one of those bad days, you were the one who invited Dick in.
Once again, Dick noted how odd it was that you and Jason were a couple. As he saw it, you and Jason weren't even interacting with each other.
Instead, Jason was outside on the fire escape, smoking, his eyes clouded over, brows furrowed as he looked into the nothingness that was Gotham city, not even looking in your direction when you placed a glass of water beside where he was sitting.
You only brushed Dick's comment aside. You didn't feel like explaining that it was what Jason needed now; it was what you needed as well whenever you were in one of those moods.
A couple of hours later, Dick finally decided to leave the apartment. Bidding you farewell and making an offhanded humorous comment on how you should drag Jason back into the building before he started to reek of smoke.
The door closed behind him, and that was when you felt a warmer, heavier body against your back. Dick was correct; you should've pulled Jason inside sooner as cigarette smoke clung to his frame. Though that didn't stop you from leaning against his body. Humming in contentment when his arms snaked around your figure. His head making its home on the crook of your neck.
You stayed in that position for a while, with no words spoken between you. The only sounds were yours and Jason's steady heartbeats and soft breathing.
"I sometimes wonder if he's right."
Jason suddenly broke the silent comfort the two of you shared. You only hummed in reply to show that you were listening, as Jason seemed like he wasn't finished with what he was saying.
"We are an odd couple," he spoke against your skin, his voice low and soft, "You deserve someone less," he paused, "Broken," Jason's voice was quiet, just above a whisper when he said that last word. You wouldn't have heard if his head wasn't located right beside your ear.
You would've immediately talked some sense into him if you didn't feel his mouth opening again.
"You deserve the world for keeping up with someone like me, someone who'd ignore you just because he didn't feel like talking. You deserve someone like Dick, I bet he would talk to you if he ever felt down, not bottle it up and let you worry."
Hearing Jason's heartfelt confession, you smiled to yourself. But, of course, you knew he felt this way. It was hard not to feel guilty. You would know you've felt the same guilt repeatedly with your previous relationships. You didn't know if you were a bad person by letting them worry about you when you were just in a state of inconsolable unseen pain.
So, you turned around to face him, his arms never letting go of your body, even as your hands rested on his shoulders, linking at the back of his neck. Sort of forcing him to look in your eyes. You smiled at him; Jason always had the most beautiful eyes.
They were always laser-focused, his brows furrowed in the middle, and his expression, even with the sadness and desperation that coated his voice, was always stoic and watchful. A product of years and years of the hard life he had to endure as a young boy, as Robin, and as Red Hood.
"Do I have to recall to you how many times you went to the other side of Gotham to buy that pastry I loved so much, only to give it to me when I didn't even feel like eating anything? Or do I have to remind you how many times you stayed awake after you went home from patrol, just to be a shoulder for me to cry on whenever my nightmares got too bad even when you were absolutely exhausted?"
You stated as his lips twitched upwards ever so slightly.
"Well, yeah but all those things are-" "Are the greatest thing I could've asked for in a partner." You finished his sentence before he even got to undermine his efforts in consoling you.
"I don't need you to always tell me what's going on in that gorgeous head of yours, I don't need you to spill your worries to me whenever you feel like Something is wrong. All I ask is for you to continue to let me be here with you, to comfort you in the way you like, just like you do to me."
Your hand had slowly crept to his soft hair, and though the smell of cigarette still stuck to him, you didn't mind it as much as you usually would.
"So what if everyone thinks we're a weird pairing? We're not dating for them, we're not broadcasting ourselves for the world to see. I feel loved when I'm with you, I know you feel loved when you're with me, you know better than to think that I need your words to make me feel that way. I don't think I'm that good with words either, so I'm kind of glad you don't need it either."
You chuckled at the end. Only for Jason to let out a burst of soft laughter, his head leaning even more against your fingers.
He looked the calmest during these peaceful, almost domestic moments. Which, to be frank, you never thought were possible between you both. He was like putty in your hands, soft and without his walls up.
"You say that, but here you are, words spilling out of you like you're reciting something off a book." He finally spoke, chuckling, lifting the tense air around you into a calmer one.
You could tell he was finally away from that bad place, his shoulders were relaxing, and a soft smile was left on his lips as he closed his eyes to relish the scratch of your nails against his scalp.
"Would you prefer if I did that?" You said jokingly, "Something like, 'You have bewitched me Jason, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on,' that sound better?"
At this point, Jason was full-on laughing; you followed suit soon after you finished actually reciting a book quote. When you finished, he leaned his forehead against yours, his blue eyes looking into yours.
"Jane Austen? Really? You couldn't be more original?" he teased, "What?! Pride and Prejudice is the pinnacle of romance and love." You jabbed back at him.
"Agree to disagree."
"You are literally not allowed to say that when you've probably read that book a hundred times and the fact that your first copy of the book probably has more than a thousand annotations!"
Finally, the light short jabs with one another continued once more. The moment was refreshing, especially after the ounces of doubts that swam inside Jason's mind just minutes before.
"You should shower, and wash your clothes, it smells like smoke."
"Well then, you're coming with me, you're starting to smell like smoke too!"
"Fuck you, Jason."
"We'll get to that after the shower."

as i was walking around the Irvine spectrum a few weeks ago, i saw a (BIG) picture of chris pratt. and then it hit me. peter jason quill loves footloose.
now you're probably thinking "okay what the hell are you saying this is a well-known fact." and if you are thinking that, my rebuttal is "shut the fuck up and hear me out."
ever since peter was taken from earth he has loved telling stories about kevin bacon. this was implied in the first guardians movie during the the scene where he was talking to gamora on knowhere, but kraglin straight up said it in the holiday special. during the scene in the first movie, peter explains to gamora the plot of footloose. he talks about how the people in the movie have sticks up their asses (which gamora takes literally) and then he says that Kevin shows the town that dancing is the "best thing there is." blah blah blah they almost kiss the rest isn't important. now that im thinking about it, (putting this in was 100% planned beforehand lmfao.) peter mentions things from earth a lot.
"I come from a planet of outlaws. *Lists them*" Mantis mentions Jason, the masked killer guy from that one movie, during the holiday special. she'd never have known about him if it weren't for Peter. Peter makes a vulgar (and disgusting 😒) reference to Jackson fucking Pollock. He loves Pac-Man, He-Man (he only ever mentions skeletor though), Heather Locklear... a very pretty actress... I looked her up she doesn't seem like she's in anything a kid his age would've been interested in, he probably just thought she was pretty. The point is, even though he's been away from earth so long, it still means a lot to him. I see this in lots of real people too. I've watched videos where people talk about moving away from their home at an early age, and a lot of them said that even though they moved away, their old home is still very important to them.
now of course Peter's case is different, because since he left earth, his memories of it are a little messed... clearly... but he still clings onto them. he loves his mother's music, and listens to it all the time. and as i saw that picture of chris pratt, it occurred to me that peter loves all these things because he experienced them with his mother. he doesn't talk about his growing up as a ravager nearly as much as he talks about growing up on earth. everything he's experienced on earth is tied to his mother in some way because he was young. he was only 8 the day she died and the day he was taken. He spent time listening to music with her, playing with her, growing up with her because she was his mother, and he loves her. He probably loves footloose so much because it's tied to memories of her.
peter jason quill loves footloose. and he loves it because he watched it with his mother.

leather | jasonette
word count: +1.1k
summary: spitting out some blood on the ground next to marinette's boots, jason's glare burned a hole through marinette. "run," he whispered harshly, eyes blank and cold.
a/n: this was a spur of the moment

part 1, part 2
If there was one thing that the boys of Neverland were aware of, it was this: No one messed with Marinette's leather jacket.
Marinette made that very clear the first week she was there, and anyone who even touched it found themselves with a bruised jaw and a couple of knocked-out teeth in the span of ten seconds. 
But apparently, Jason Todd—aka Peter Pan—didn't get the message. Ever since the Shadow brought her to Neverland—against her will, she might add—it was like it was Jason's personal goal to rile Marinette up as much as he could. He never missed an opportunity, poking at her subpar fighting skills—for now—jabs at her height, smirking like a bloody idiot all the while. 
Really, if it wasn't for Tim warning her over and over again of Jason's ridiculous tendency to throw murderous tantrums, Marinette would have chopped off his crown jewels and then thrown him off the cliff with a smile on her face. 
Tim, unlike most of the boys on this godforsaken island, was actually one of the bearable people Marinette enjoyed being around. Clearly, unlike most, he had a proper upbringing and knew what it meant to respect a lady. 
Marinette's left hand had been permanently bruised for weeks because she was constantly punching those stupid lemmings that kept on heckling her. Eventually, they got the message, but that was only because she had taken drastic measures and thrown one of them into the mermaid lagoon. 
At any rate, Marinette could safely say, that despite being Jason's right-hand man, Tim was her best friend on Neverland. Which also meant he was well aware of Marinette's love and fierce possessiveness of her leather jacket—her last memento of home, despite the fact that—from what he had gleaned—things weren't very smooth.
When Jason pushed Tim to go and check on Marinette while she was bathing, he was suspicious. At first, he thought it was because Jason thought Tim and Marinette were in love—which was ridiculous, by the way. Marinette was a lovely friend, but that was all she would ever be. 
But then, as he made his way to the pond, Tim realised why Jason had that gleeful expression pasted across his face as he ushered Tim off. 
Swearing loudly, Tim whirled around in the clearing, looking for Marinette's jacket. As expected, the jacket was nowhere to be found, no doubt burnt to ashes by Jason. 
Tim assumed he had about twenty seconds to get away from the scene as he heard Marinette humming, and so he ran. He ran like never before—not even when he was running from pirates. While he was very secure in his position as Marinette's best friend and that she probably wouldn't be as mad to find him at the scene, Tim didn't particularly feel like testing that theory—he valued his testicles, thank you very much.
As he appeared in camp at the speed of light, Tim frantically searched for Jason, hoping to make things right before Marinette noticed, otherwise, heads were going to roll. Also, Tim didn't want to see his best friend die because of Jason's murderous tendencies, so there was that too. 
"Todd," he panted, bending to grab his knees. "What did you do?"
Jason, who was currently helping some of the newer recruits with their bows and arrows, merely turned around, his usual—infuriating, Marinette would often say—smirk pasted across his face. "What's wrong, Timmy?" Jason asked, his delight at Tim's panic very much evident. "Something missing?"
Tim opened his mouth to answer in a way he only could—perks of being Jason's most loyal follower. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Immediately, his leader's eyes became darker, a certain aura of danger starting to cloud around him. "What did you say?"
"I asked you," Tim said, gritting his teeth in annoyance. "What are you playing at? She hasn't even done anything to you. Leave her alone."
"Why should I?" Jason challenged. "She's done more than enough to warrant being killed."
"And the fact that you haven't killed her yet proves that she's a game to you." Tim was very much familiar with Jason's love for games and his ability to get lost in them, being a bystander, watching them for centuries. 
"So what if she is?" Jason asked his tone a bored drawl. "I'm the kind. I can do whatever I want."
And as much as Tim wanted to refute that, fight against it, he knew it would be no use. Jason cared very little about Tim's opinion—or anyone else's for that matter. 
He was saved from having to answer when the chattering Lost Boys around them went silent, the majority of the camp hushing. Tim had a sinking feeling he knew what—or who—had caused that.
Marinette came stomping up to the pair of them, fury burning in her eyes. Where the hell was her jacket? It was one of the few things she actually wanted to keep—which idiot thought it would be a good idea to steal it?
She was vaguely aware of Tim backing away slowly—no doubt in a smart decision.
"What," Marinette hissed, jabbing Jason in the chest. "Did you do with my jacket?"
Jason merely smirked widely, something that seemed to infuriate her even more. "I'm sorry, pet," he said, emphasising the nickname. "I have no idea, whatsoever, what you're talking about. Isn't that right, Timmy?"
Marinette's best friend looked like a dear caught in headlights as they both turned to look at him. Clearing his throat loudly in the sudden silence of the camp, Tim didn't look at either of them as he stuttered out, "Leave me out of this."
Well. Points for self-preservation then. 
Shooting him a displeased look, Jason turned away from his second in command and turned to Marinette. "At any rate, pet, I have no idea what happened to your leather jacket. Why do you even care so much about it? It's quite ugly if I do say so myself."
Rage. Black-out.
The next thing Marinette knew, Jason was clutching his cheek, blood pouring out of his nose and a dark, dark bruise blooming where she had struck him.
It felt like the entire camp was holding their breath as their leader slowly recovered. 
Marinette felt the first tendrils of fear fluttering and winding themselves around her as Jason's eyes burned. 
They burned with a fury that Marinette had never seen before, nor had she ever seen on anyone else. 
Spitting out some blood on the ground next to Marinette's boots, Jason's glare burned a hole through Marinette. "Run," he whispered harshly, eyes blank and cold.
Marinette turned on her heel and ran.

Percy,Miles and Jason are very important to me as the 'los tres amigos' trope because it's exactly a dynamic that fits and benefits all three of them
Miles is a soft sunshine boy who's clearly trans and autistic and a troubled kid so Percy would date adopt him as her little brother within three days TOPS of knowing him like she does every other character like that she meets in canon and Jason and her are the perfect setup for her classic enemies to frenemies due to being forced to work together to ride or die best friends she had with Thalia,Clarisse,Zoe and more and Miles is so sweet but has the same mouth running she does and Jason shares it too but he's got the same mean attitude she does so it's a perfect balance and she's got nothing to do with Bruce because they met straight after Utrh as a metaphor for Jason letting Bruce go for people he actually needs and wants and she ends up being part kryptonian because of old Jackson interdimensional shenanigans so Clark's her new dad instead of Poseidon's deadbeat ass and she can actually enjoy the revelation after processing it because it's a Sally thing
Miles never gets included in crossovers despite his whole franchise being about interdimensional hoping and making platonic soulmates along the way and the most recent installment having him break canon word for word because he knows better and i think we all know WHY the DC fandom obsessively ignores him despite their famous motto and why him and Percy have zero content together despite all their parallels but as someone who's read everything Jason's in and watched and played most of his adaptions and games,i know for a fact he's the only male superhero Jason would instantly like and that Miles would be fond of him back and there's good angst and darker storylines potential with Jason not outright telling him what he does for a living and the leadup and aftermath to the reveal and Percy being willing to kill too from the start makes things all the more interesting and on a lighter note,they'd give him special treatment 24/7 and initially only stick to eachother for his sake and their influence makes him tougher and more self-confident and he gets a Blue Lantern ring and Apollo's Blessing out of pure awe at his sheer artistic talent and love for his craft
And Jason gets an actual legit canon team,something DC has NEVER given him the grace of and yeah that's a pun but fr his and Artemis' dynamic and her lore remixes are literally the only good thing to come out Rhato.Instead of the Roy and Kory fuckery,Jason gets Miles,who he genuinely likes as a person and loves hanging out with and he fumbles sometimes but is good older brother at the end of the day and Miles makes him be good again without even trying just like he does pretty much everybody he interacts with that's got some fucked up shit going on and Percy,who's allowed to be not just a female lead but a trans woman one and is on equal grounds with him because again,he actually likes who she is and loves spending time with her inspite of their bickering and Miles and Percy get powerUPS instead of powerDOWNED and are allowed to be just as their own as him instead of walking talking props that aren't even good for him,much less him them.Also,Spider Mutant Jason that ended up that way because of constant exposure to Miles' spiderperson dna + Lazarus Pit dna + Middle name is deadass 'Peter' and he learns how to make special greek mythos items for backup
It's such a random ass crossover on the surface but there's a reason it's and they're called The Anomalies!!!They're supposed to be weird,not fuckass sanatized fandom tropes,they're supposed to find home in eachother,they're supposed to be stories told in the form of characters and sick as fuck powers and layered jokes and wholesome cheesiness that feels genuine because it IS genuine on my part and everybody else i've gotten into it has the same feelings on them i do!!!!Call me Odysseus the way i care them so much🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

My Father's daughter pt 3
Tony Stark x daughter!reader
Summary: Back at the Tower, Y/n has a talk with Pepper.
a/n: ohhh another part finished!! some new characters will be revealed next part and i’m so great full for @social-media-imagines-by-me fir helping me create them💕💕
Tumblr media
You were furious.
You stormed into your room and slammed the door, finding satisfaction in the loud bang it produced. You then ripped through your drawers and closet, pulling on some work out clothes and some gloves. You then marched out of the room, slamming the door again, startling Sam and Bucky who happened to be passing by.
"Geez kid, slam it a little harder I don't think it fell off the hinges yet." Sam jokes, but you were in no joking mood so you swirled around with fire in your eyes.
"You okay doll?" Bucky softly asks, pushing a frightened Sam to the side. You sigh, knowing it's not fair to take out your anger on them.
"Sorry Sam, it's just...my biological mom is here and wants me to move in with her."
"Oh..." Bucky says, not good with things like this, " Do you want me to like...kill her or..."
"NO" You laugh, " It's just I haven't seen her in nine years and she has the audacity to come up here like it's nothing?!"
Your anger returns, " She thinks that just because she pushed me out of her vagina"
The two men cringe at the words
"That she can just claim me? That's not how it works!" You shout, " And, she brought her fucking husband. The man she left us for! Who does that?!"
Bucky looks at Sam, mentally asking him what they should do. Sam just rolls his eyes and turns back to you.
"Come on kid, it looks like you wanna punch something."
and with that he lead you to the training room where Steve was training with Peter.
"Come on queens, you gotta stay on your feet" Steve k=jokes as he, again, trips Peter.
"Mr. Rogers, do you think we should take a break?" Peter pants.
You stride pass them, not bothering to say hi. They look at Sam and Bucky for an explanation and just get a shake of the head.
"Hey Y/n that's my punching" Steve started to say when he saw you throw a hard punch to the bag, "Nevermind..."
You ignore the group behind you, opting to pummel the poor punching bag in front of you.
Your mind flashes back to your mother and her words.
"A girl needs her mother"
*punch*
"Oh petal I wanted to call"
*punch* *punch*
"Come to Gotham. Meet your siblings!"
*BANG*
You look down to see the punching bag flew off the hook and is spilling sand on the floor. You were confused, as you knew you weren't strong enough to do that, not even when you were angry.
"Wow, I guess Cap didn't secure that hook again."
You jump, not expecting someone to be there, as you heard Sam, Bucky, Steve, and Peter leave. You turn to see Pepper there looking at the bag in surprise. You sigh, stepping away from the mess and taking off your gloves. You make your way to the bench and take a swig of water.
"Did you need something Pep?" You ask, avoiding eye contact.
"Well, i was just wondering if my kid was okay. But given the fact that you punched that bag like it would restore your honor.."
You knew you shouldn't have showed her Avatar.
"I'm assuming your not." She finishes.
You give her a half smile, looking down at your hands.
"Y/n" She says, " Talk to me."
You finally speak, "Why now?"
Pepper frowns, understanding that small phrase, ' I don't know."
"She's not my mother." You state, " She...she might have been once but now?"
Pepper nods," I love you."
You smile, the words reassuring you, " I love you too Pep."
"Come on, your messing up your manicure." She says with a smile, standing and extending a hand towards you. You feel your demnor soften and your mood lighten. Pepper always managed to make you feel better.
"Yeah okay..thanks." You say, taking her hand and letting her pull you from the bench, " Are you hungry? Cause I am>"
"Y/n we just ate!"
"Like an hour ago"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Days went by and you hadn't heard a peep from Christine. It was like she went off to lick her wounds and just decided not to reach out again.
Which didn't bother you one bit.
But apparently the universe wanted to fuck with you because when you came home from a day out with Peter, there was your mother, Bruce Wayne, and all six million of her fucking kids sitting on the couch.
"What the fuck?" You say causing the attention to turn to you.
"Language" Peter says, You smile softly at him before then turning to glare at Tony.
"Don't look at me, it was your moth-uh Peppers idea." Tony stumbled, looking rather uncomfortable sharing a drink with the man that his...wife? girlfriend?... whatever she was left him for.
"Pep what?" You asking, softening your glare because you'd be damned if you disrespected her.
"I just think it'd be best if we clear the air and get everything out on the table." Pepper said in that tone she uses when she's dealing with difficult people or the press. You called it her CEO tone.
"Now, go take your bags upstairs and wash up. And I'll pretend that you aren't an hour late"
"It was Peter's idea..." You mumbled and walking to the stairs that lead to the bed rooms.
"It was not!" Peter shouts following you to the rooms to help with the bags.
Christine watched as her daughter walked out of the room, playfully arguing with Peter. It was as if she were a whole different person, carefree and playful. Totally different from when she was glaring and stiff when talking to her. It broke her heart hearing Tony refer to Pepper as her Mother rather than Christine. But what did she expect?
Damian scoffed catching her attention, "Mother I do not see why you've dragged us here, that girl didn't even acknowledge us."
"Damian, enough" Bruce said, not looking away from his awkward conversation with Tony.
"Gee if only I could do that with our kids." Tony mutters into his drink.
"Does Y/n argue often?" Bruce asks trying to engage in conversation.
Tony laughs before fondly speaking, " Sort of. She isn't the type to back down when she thinks something is right. There was this one time I caught her arguing with one of my business partners about his "condescending tone and misogynistic attitude"."
""And did she apologize after?"
"Hell no. She glared at me and told me apologizing just for his ego would be demeaning her experiences as a woman. Although to be fair he was an asshole."
Bruce chuckles, " She sounds like a well rounded young woman. How old was she then?"
"Ah about 10, it was funny seeing this little girl argue in a Justin Bieber shirt argue about the patriarchy with a full grown man."
Bruce and Tony shared a laugh, picturing the scene.
"You must be very proud of her." Bruce mentions after they quieted down. Tony let a small smile escape.
" I am. She's had a rough life, and I..." Tony trails off, " She means everything to me. Without her...I don't think I'd be the same person I am today."
And with that, Tony downed his drink and stood, " Want another?"
Bruce smiled and accepted, watching Tony leave. He can tell that the man was close to his daughter. A bond that formed due to a loss, they both grew from it and grew closer. He understood, thinking about his own children.
Pepper and Christine were having a somewhat similar conversation, although it was a little more tense.
"So...Pepper-"
"Virginia." Pepper said, cutting her off.
"Excuse me?"
"My name is Virginia. Pepper is a nickname my family calls me."
"Oh. Okay, Virginia, how long have you known Y/n and Tony?"
"Oh about nine or so years. I was promoted to assistant when I saw how much of a mess Tony was." Pepper said casually.
Dick and Jason tensed, overhearing the tense conversation between the two mothers. But before Dick could interrupt Jason sat him back down.
"I wanna see what happens."
Christine continued, " And when did you become a..more permanent around the house?"
"When I saw that Y/n the one taking care of Tony." Pepper said in a serious tone, "She was the one making sure he didn't choke on his vomit and eating cereal as his flings walked out the room. Then he got kidnapped...and y/n was alone. So I made sure she’d never be alone again.”
Christine heart sank. She knew about the whole kidnapping thing. Why she didn't step in, she doesn't know. It's just another thing she regrets to this day.
Before Pepper could continue, she heard two sets of footsteps and voices
"All I'm saying is, if he looks at me funny, I'm fighting him and that's that."
"Yeah maybe not the best impression on..." Peter cuts off when they reach the living room. Eyes again on the two of you.
"Let's get this over with." You muttered, saying bye to Peter and making way over to the couch to sit next to Pepper.
"Y/n!" Christine says happily, " I'm glad you're here. We brought you something!"
She pulls out a box and she carefully hands it over to you.
You look at it suspiciously before getting a nudge from Pepper.
"Thank you." You grit out. Earning a glare from Damian and Cassandra.
You open the box to see...cupcakes.
"They're the peanut butter strawberry cupcakes you used to like. Remember? I used to bring them when I came to see you." Christine says, trying to bring up good memories.
You frown and close the box, " I'm allergic to strawberries."
Lie.
Pepper casts a glance towards you, "They look lovely, let me take them into the kitchen, I'll check on dinner."
And with that she takes the box and leaves into the kitchen. Leaving you and Tony alone.
"So...Stark" Damian started fixing his gaze on you.
"Yes, Wayne?" You said, matching his energy.
"What exactly is it you want from my mother?" He asks, earning a groan from his older brothers.
"Well, I'd appreciate it if she left me alone." You say with a straight face.
Christine frowns but before she says something Damian speaks up again.
"Tt, all this drama for the likes of you? It's honestly disappointing" He drawls, trying to get under your skin.
"Damian!" Christine scolded.
"Well, I apologize for not meeting your standards. I'd try harder if I cared what a toddler thought of me."
Jason let out a surprised chuckle while the rest of the family looked on in shock. Tony just rolled his eyes.
"I do not understand why Mother insists on rekindling her relationship with you. You obviously weren't worth the effort the first time around." He spits, causing the rest of the family to gasp.
You however, just laugh, " When you figure it out, let me know. It's probably the same reason she puts up with you."
Damian glares, about to start in again when Jason cuts him off " Shut up Demon. She got you man."
"Tt"
"I'm Jason, and anyone who can out that brat in check is good in my book." He says sending you a smirk.
You smile back, " I'm friends with Loki and Wade Wilson, I'm hardly affected by anything anymore." Your dad rolls his eyes again, he’s not exactly enthusiastic about your choice in friends.
You like this one. Probably the one you're gonna be able to stand in this family.
"Don't hog her Jason!" Dick shouts pushing him away before turning to smile at you, " Hi! I'm-"
"Dick Grayson. I know, you spilled your champagne on my dress a few years ago at a New Years gala." You say, still a little bitter about it.
"Oh. heh, right, sorry about that. Again." He says sheepishly.
You turn to Cassandra, " You're Cassandra. You and your friend cornered me in the bathroom."
Cassandra scowls and looks away.
Then you turned to Tim, " And you need to learn how to secure your fire walls better."
Tim looked at you confused, "Um excuse me?"
You smirked, " Just a suggestion. I assume you don't want people to know about your...bats in the attic?"
The whole family froze.
You knew? There was no way.
"Kid, are you hacking again?" Tony said exasperatedly, " You promised you'd stop after the last time."
"Hey it's not my fault Shuri didn't think about changing her password." You say defensively, “ and it’s not like you were complaining when you had me hack into SHEILDS databases”
“What was that!?” Pepper shouts from the kitchen.
“Heheh, nothing dear.” Tony shouts back then in a hushed voice scolds you, “ I gave you fifty bucks to keep that a secret.”
“I didn’t say what you had me retrieve.” You said smugly leaning back in your chair.
Bruce didn’t know how to feel.
On one hand, this teen that objectively hates his family, knows their biggest secret. She can singlehandedly destroy their family and expose them. And she has the means to.
But on the other, she’s a perfect fit for their family. She gets along with Jason, doesn’t let Damian get under her skin, and from the looks of it can definitely take care of herself. Only thing is, again, she hates his wife and by association, his family.
“I’m sorry, hacking? You know that’s illegal right?” Tim asks, still in shock that you got past his security systems.
You turn to him and in a bored tone replied , “Yeah? and?”
Tim stuttered for a bit before going quiet with a blush. It was adorable really.
You had to hold back a laugh, it was fun getting this stuffy family all riled up. Especially when you can see the disapproval in Christines face.
“Tony, you let our daughter participate in illegal activities??” Christine asks with a raised brow.
The table goes silent at the tone of her voice. Knowing that when she uses it someone is really in trouble.
But you roll your eyes because how are you supposed to know what that tone means?
“I let my daughter express herself in a ...healthy way. She knows her limits.” Tony replies cooly, taking a drink and looking back into the kitchen wondering where Pepper went.
”Obviously not. Tony she has no regard for the laws at all! You think i didn’t see the headlines last year?!”
Ah yes, last year you had a slight scandal where you may have punched a pap for trying to get a picture up your skirt but who wouldn’t?!
“ And you let her hang around criminals and terrorists?!”
You scoff, “ Oh please everyone in the Avengers was a criminal or terrorist at least once.”
“Not helping kid.” Tony says, “Christine, you and your family have no right to come into my home and judge my family. I’ve been civil. Hell maybe a little too much. Mainly because if I wasn’t, my wife—err Fiancée, would kill me.”
You snicker, earning a few glares.
“Look the point is, don’t tell me how to raise my daughter. Especially because I was doing it all alone.” Tony finishes with a sigh.
The table goes silent. You were getting tired of all the tense silences today.
“ Look.” You turn to Christine, “ I get that you probably feel guilty or something because you ditched me. And I appreciate that or whatever.”
You were not good at this.
“ But I don’t wanna live with you.”
Christine looks down sadly, “ Y/n I just...I just want to get to know you again. You’re my baby.”
Before you could answer you heard a crash come from the kitchen and smoke fill the rooms.
“ Pepper?!” You cough, “ Dad what’s happening?!”
“ I don’t know. Stay here” He says summoning his suit.
“FRIDAY?!” You shout, but not hearing the AI.
The Wayne’s all looked at each other in panic. They didn’t bring their suits, thinking it was just a dinner.
You turn to them and shout “ Come with me, and stay low!”
You start to lead them to the stair case, knowing that the rooms were relatively safe.
“Come on!” you yell when they don’t follow you.
Christine stands from her seat and makes to follow you before being stopped by Damian.
“Mother we cannot..”
“Damian, I’ve had about enough of you. Let’s go.” She says sternly and follows you. The rest of the family following behind as Bruce nudges Damian.
“ Come on son.”
“Father we don’t know where she’s leading us.” Damian says stubbornly.
“There’s nothing we can do right now.” he coughs.
The sounds of punching and the blasts come from the kitchen.
“Let’s go.”
They finally join the rest of the family. You have them crouched in the hallway.
“ This is James’ room. Dad had it modified just incase he was ever triggered into the Winter Solider again. No ones getting through this door when it’s locked.”
You usher them in.
“Come on Y/n” Christine says reaching a hand out to you.
You smirk, “ What? and miss all the action?”
You close the door and lock it before leaving. Laughing at their surprised faces.
The room is silent.
“ She’s awesome!” Jason says with a laugh.

Jason Todd x independent reader
HOW YOU BOTH MET:
- an independent reader plus the Jason Todd is most likely a relationship that does not start immediately
- Definitely not the knight in shining armor kind of love story
- Could envision these two starting out as friends that click even if they are total opposites
- with some teasing, some thrown flirting here and there
- and you brushing it off or giving back your comebacks yourself and yes food dates.
- Whoops, I mean "hang-outs"
- Jason would be attracted to how the reader knows what they want
- the reader displaying how invested they are in themselves
- may it be career-wise or hobbies
- the fact you just "kept doing your thing" in this growing period of your life
- is what makes you quite genuine when socializing with other people especially someone like him
- another possibility would be a falling- for- you- gradually type of relationship
- like both of them don't think much about it at the start
- but they are both in a certain level of comfortable in the time that's passed as friends
- and the strong feeling from " I enjoy being with you" evolves to " I want to be with you"
- from nonsense conversations to conversations that slowly open up to each other
- OHO boi he would certainly have a crush on you
- And would also have a hard time to get the perfect timing to ask you out
- since he has second thoughts of you actually liking him or not
- or just you being friendly?? because sweetie you obviously look like you could perfectly take care of yourself
- or pretty much his thoughts you deserve someone "normal"
-but that does not mean you do not want to fall in love
-nor does it mean you are not falling for him
- sometimes you would look ahead that the relationship would not last long
- but heck you also could not help liking him a hell lot
- you were very much comfortable with each other
- and it also scares both of you
- cause lets face it you two are quite independent individuals
- but you were willing to risk a heartbreak
-so eventually, you also try to drop hints
-even though it would also be a bit difficult as well to put down your walls
- as much as he is careful in playing his cards
- " I don't believe you."
- "I'm serious. I never had a boyfriend. It's not like they would like me back." You shrug, small smile on your face.
- Besides the causal dating and flirting if ever or if you did exclusively date before; it might have sweet or bitter memories for you
- "But if I asked you out are you down? Joke. Unless-"
- "Definitely. I mean- that’s hypothetically. But I’d love too Jason. "
-And you have no idea what kind of smile went through his face when you said yes because that also took a lot of effort and anxiety
-even if it was never a problem for Jason Peter Todd
- Then maybe nearly a year of crushing on each other or should I say testing the waters
- literally courted you, pursued you
- being "just friends";
- that is where they start the real relationship when he exclusively asked you out.
DATING:
- you wouldn't really ask for help in tasks
-and he will immediately help you if you do need help
- even in certain tasks that you really try to do by yourself but he knows it would be faster if he helps you like:
- When you want to open a jar of pasta sauce and you couldn't open it
- you even tried gripping it with a towel but it still won't budge
- Jason just got out of the shower and he sees you trying to open the jar
- Especially when you grabbed a knife then-
- "Babe I can help you, you know," he says immediately thinking you would aggressively stab the jar
- "It's alright I got it." the sharp knife poked the lid and instantly was able to uncap the jar
- "Oh?"
- "You're not the only one with tricks." you pecked his cheek before proceeding to pour the sauce onto the pot.
- But of course, he still tries his best to treat you like a queen
-and indeed it is something you couldn't get used to immediately
- since you are so used to taking care of yourself
- such as wanting to be 50/50 when it comes to paying for food
- but get talked out by Jason saying this is part of the “boyfriend subscription” every-time
- getting ubered food when apart when you’re lazy to cook or in a bad mood
- or being together for the most domesticated chores like grocery etc.
- frankly, you were sure you were not clingy at all but not seeing Jason for a day (even max of two days) makes you want to cry
- not wanting to burden him with little wants or errands or even being fetched somewhere let’s say like the airport
- but also gets used to it
- He doesn’t like feeling not being enough for you and wants you to rely on him a lot
- same with him, he becomes even softer with you by your little actions,
- being cared for like food prep when you’re gone with little post-stick notes or his apartment feeling cleaner than usual
- simple moments of you randomly baking bread from a tiktok you’ve saved before
- or even just waiting for him while binging a series or when working from home at his place
- catching you watch youtube videos one time on how to clean bigger wounds (which you scold him about)
- being babied by you is something he had to get used too
- you would thank him for being patient with you despite not being openly affectionate at first
- and also him respecting you not preferring much PDA
-which you both agree on because he himself also prefer to be private with you too
-but on some occasions, he would sneak a few moves ;))
- which you let it slide
-Jason revealing to you as RedHood was more of a breath of relief than disappointment
- because let's face it independent you, will not stop having 'other women' insecurities from time to time in the beginning
-since you have some idea he is not telling you certain details about himself,
- even if he introduced himself with quite an "ordinary" job when you both first met
- so you wouldn't be scared, like a businessman or investor or real estate etc.
- but I'm pretty sure he would tell you when both of you are already a thing
- before the actual 'exclusive' label
- as much as he does not want you to be involved in any way with his side job
- but he knows that if he kept hiding it from you
- you might leave him
- cause both of you promised to be open with one another
- no matter how weird a secret would be
- someone open-minded and patient is definitely some of the traits he would find importance in
- besides clicking with you no matter what kind of personality you have
- you weren't afraid of him but more so proud of how strong he was in making it this far
- Jason would be quite taken aback with how calmly you would take all the revelation
- at the same time, you weren't that bewildered in such a place like Gotham despite the 1/10 chance of actually dating one of THE Batman's sons
- Jason even tells you if one day you had enough,
- especially base from his past 'relationships' which didn't exactly work out even if it's pretty much an on/off-again kind
- he would not hesitate to mutually end things if you want to end it even if it will hurt
- "I should be the one saying that you know. With all the boundaries you keep agreeing on, I feel like you're complying a lot just for the sake of it..."
- "(Y/N), I don't want to force anything that you would not be comfortable with because I'm really serious about you, about us."
- "Can't believe you downgraded to me." You teased.
- independent you also includes some overthinking about his exes
- well more like his "almosts" and flings here and there and not bringing it up till it actually slips out your tongue lol
- the fact he fell for someone who could barely fight in a room of ten men if held hostage versus gorgeous vigilantes, amazons etc.
- you hate the feeling of being useless or him worrying about your safety too much
- you also can’t help being a possessive partner especially you when you know well how whipped he is for you.
- "To be fair they all tried to kill me at one point. Most of them, you could say."
- "Ngl you got 10 times more attractive."
- "does that mean I'm your favorite now?" (Among the Justice league or other hero groups etc.) wiggling his brows and a big smile on his face.
- "Nah."  You said with an even bigger smile he fucking loves so much, playfully kissing the tip of his nose.
- you have him wrapped around your finger.
- That you were damn sure.
- Jason would also 'TRY' not to be as reckless
- parenthesis on 'try'
- so he wouldn't worry you
- And he very much took extra precaution
- in one of the most heartbreaking moments that he first experience
- when you drop by his apartment after work
- and see him and his team wrapping up their injuries
- And Jason having blood still spread all over his  body when he was stitching up
- you immediately went mother hen at him
- even if the medical side isn't fully your expertise
- "Hey doll." his boyish smirk lits up when he sees you. He also loves that you fuss about him and would usually throw playful comebacks when at it.
- "fucking hell Jason you're losing blood." you hissed; eyes wide
- "hey hey don't worry the cut isn't that big; I just forgot to wipe the rest of the blood- (y/n). (y/n), sweetheart-"
- tears building up in your face
- Jason wipes the rest
- you murmuring 'so you're not dying right' with a small frown.
- You allowed yourself a few inhale exhales while Jason caresses your cheek. His large hands you love still holding your face
- you're eyes avoiding him
- of course, having your man see you cry is something you do not want
- and Jason reassuring you even more
- with small side jokes to lift up the mood
- but honestly, it felt like being stabbed even more when he saw you tear up
- and he never knew anyone cry over him when he died
- so seeing one of the most important people that he considers home
- it became more worth it for him to keep living
- yes, you trust him; no your relationship grew every-time.
- You promise to try to be vocal with each other
-despite the act of expressing oneself is both of your weaknesses
- you both try to work on it together
-and you wouldn't be in a relationship with anyone for a mere love at first sight but something that works out by the time
- assuming you already know his past and how he died before and such
- he never felt so lucky on how he even got someone like you
- of course, knowing your boyfriend is Redhood and has daily patrol and outlaw escapades does not mean there will be moments he would try to break up with you
- more than once duh
- and even if he tries to break up with you,
- the discussion would only happen max twice tho, fortunately, and you won't hesitate to make him feel loved
- " (Y/N) I'm serious. If something happens to you- "
- " I know who I fell for Jason and that will not stop me from cooking this dinner for us. "
- well, in your own stubborn way of course.
- cause you too know very well how much you mean to him
- and that he is capable of burning down the whole city if a bullet even leaves a scratch on your body
- Cause the thought of you dying in his arms one day...
- both of you do joke around with scenarios from action movies you both watch together during date night
- but it scares him a lot
- no matter how much you reassure or joke around how Redhood will save you anyway.
- and as someone who is obsessed with stability
- You are very much aware that you have some loose screws yourself for falling for someone with such a double-life
- "Okay."
- "What do you mean okay?"
-"You said you want a break right till Bane would be taken down. Fine. I understand. But does that mean I could hook up with Nightwing? Or maybe fuck Ro-"
- "For the love of god, no. YOU ARE NOT sleeping with anyone -"
- "See. A break?" You scoffed. What is this? A Ross and Rachael role play?
- He literally looks like a crying big puppy that will most likely send the next person to the ER as release if u say yes. And it happens every-time he brings this ‘temporary split’ up.
- "You're literally affected like a boyfriend should be. We'll manage, I'll be fine. Just do your thing and I'll continue work as usual. If it worries you a lot I could stay in your safe house or the manor if you want."
- how the hell did he deserve you
- because your patience with him is something he never felt so grateful for
- and him being patient with you in getting to rely on him more is something you are also very blessed with
- but overall two independent individuals would work out in small steps throughout the relationship
- Both of you may be different but you both balance each other
- yes you both have two different lifestyles
- but people who are quite "opposites" have some special flavor in a relationship
- At the same time being able to take things slow before being exclusive
- helped a lot especially to two individuals who are used to having walls to themselves

What your favorite comic book writer says about you:
John Byrne: When you say you wish comics would go back to the 80′s and 90′s this is what you mean. Also, you like to forget he went nuts on a forum once.
Mark Millar: You are a walking contradiction. You love really fucked up edgy stories and you like good stories with good morals as well.
Garth Ennis: You are the edgelord supreme. You also like war stories and the Punisher.
Frank Miller: You are one of two people: 
1.You are an edgy 14 year old who just discovered TDKR. You proclaim him to be the greatest, edgiest writer. You also like to pretend his post Sin City work doesn’t exist.
2. You’ve read his other work besides TDKR and can appreciate how he can go in depth with some characters. This is before he went nuts btw.
Pau Dini: You are a chad with good taste.
Dwayne McDuffie: You like great well written diverse characters. You use him as the gold standard of writing diverse characters.
Jason Aaron: You have shit taste.
Ta Nehisi Coates: You are black, and you love being black, and tell everyone the first chance you get how black you are.
Alan Moore: You are 1 of 2 people: 
1. You either have only ever read Watchmen and think he’s the greatest thing to grace comics ever and everyone must bow down and worship him. and believe Watchmen should be the norm. 
2. Or you have read his other works and like his depth to comics but also understand he is not a god to be worshipped but just a writer. And that watchmen should not be the norm and Tom Strong is a much better embrace of superhero comics.
Grant Morrison: You are an alt chick in her 20′s that likes weird, trippy esoteric stories with a deeper meaning.
Kurt Busiek: You love fun straightforward super hero stories that are very well done.
Geoff Johns: You have great nostalgia for Barry Allen and Hal Jordan and silver age nostalgia. You like fun, expanding stories but that’s all you like. You cannot write philosophical stories to save your life.
Mariko Tamaki: You really like social commentary despite how dull and poorly done it is. Also, you obsess over food a lot.
Jonathan Hickman: You have the patience of a saint or you have nothing going on in your life.
Greg Weisman: You love well written planned out organic stories and you love Shakespeare.
Christopher Priest: You like well written stories alongside being black. And in depth character arcs that kind of peter out at the end.
Gail Simone: You love her earlier works and pretend her post 2011 works are still good even though they’re not.
Chuck Dixon: You love gritty crime stories, action stories and espionage. You are also probably a conservative.
Larry Hama: You love military adventures and are obsessed with ninjas.
Charles Soule: You love incorporating how the legal system works into your stories. Otherwise you are pretty good compared to your contemporaries.
Vita Ayala: You are woman in your 30′s who thinks she’s hip with the kids but is not. You desperately cling onto your youth. You use Twitter way too much.
Tom King: You are a masochist. You and Tom King desperately need to see a therapist.
Nick Spencer: You like smaller street level character stories. You cannot write event titles and social commentary to save your life. You should stick to street level stories.
Mark Waid: You like fun wholesome stories. You also cannot write social commentary to save your life.
Chip Zdarsky: You are competent at super hero writing. You maintain this equilibrium of being good but never great.
Gene Luen Yang: You like Chinese mythology and the “Asian American Experience” TM. In fact that’s all you seem to like.
Brian Michael Bendis: You are 1 of 2 people.
1. You love his older work and how he handles street level characters. You also acknowledge he went to shit as a writer once he got to work on the Avengers.
2. You blindly read his work no matter what. Even though he has gotten worse as a writer. You believe dialogue is more important than visuals. You love his walls of text to the point you would read a novel by him. But you are too insecure to read novels because that’s for grown ups and you are still mentally 14 years old.
Warren Ellis: You like stories that are fucked up but also have something poignant and deeper to say. Also, you like to say the word, “fuck” a lot.

Batfam Reacting to S/O Turning into a Robin HC (Request)
Tumblr media
So this entire thing happens because you and Bruce were fighting Circe who just had to throw a spell at a civilian
You jump in front of the spell and catch it, taking the blow
This means that on site, you turn into a Robin
Wtf
Bruce is big mad now since now he thinks that you could be a Robin for the rest of your life and that’s just not cool
The moment that the fight is over, he calls in everyone from the league
Z, Constantine, Dr. Fate, Zatara, Wonder Woman, the whole lot
Once they find out what happens there’s a worry but eventually they find that it’s going to be alright and you’ll change back within the next 72 hours or so
72 HOURS
Bruce just simply cannot wait that long
he doesn’t know what to do with a bird like
ALFRED
They make sure to not try and feed you anything that’s too disgusting that you wouldn’t normally eat
No worms
That would be gross
Bruce does find it kind of funny that you turn into a Robin and not something else
So happy it wasn’t a bat
You’d get mixed and lost with the rest of them in the cave and that would be weird
Plus there’s a high chance that you’d just fall from the ceiling
Once you finally detransform from the entire debacle, Bruce is very happy to have you back
Gets special charms from Z and Constantine that repel bad magic back onto the user
Ensures that something like this doesn’t happen again
Dick Grayson:
Tumblr media
This man does not know what to do
It’s a run in with Witch Boy that causes this to happen
Z!!!!!!
That’s the first person that he calls
Wally is really the one that takes you back to him since Dick wasn’t on this mission but you and Wally were leading it
You jumped in front of one of the newer recruits and that’s how that happened
Does this entire experience count as a souvenir?
Like maybe he just takes a feather that you drop or something and like SOUVENIR OF THAT ONE TIME THAT Y/N TURNED INTO A ROBIN
After the initial freak out mode, he just thinks that it’s kind of funny that it was a Robin
Z said that the spell was the wrong spell (thankfully) and you’d only turn into something that you loved for a little while
RObin yOU TuRNeD InTO A RoBIn
And that makes Dick a blushing mess
Once you finally do turn back, he teases you
Your most important question is did you eat anything gross
The answer was no but still
Trust issues
he does mention what the spell was and that lead to some blushing
Jason Todd:
Tumblr media
This was the last thing that he had planned
The absolute last thing
On a mission that involved some weird magic stuff, you just happened to get turned into a Robin
What the literal hell is happening now
The first instinct is to see that it’s really you
Once you understand that you’re a Robin, you’re just like, oh, so this is happening now
And that’s just how it is, you fly up onto his shoulder and just run with it
Just sitting there like it’s no one’s business cause it isn’t
If anyone asks why there’s a Robin following, it’s just what’s happening now
He is concerned that you don’t turn into a human again
So he does make sure to ask and this time, it needs a counter spell
Z is the one to do this since Jason isn’t keen on trusting Constantine
Doesn’t take super long to do this since Z is already very powerful
We Stan a powerful helpful queen
So Jason goes to one of her shows and sneaks back stage still in the Red Hood uniform and explains what happens
Z just goes ahead, sets you on the floor, and does the transformation
It was really easy, not to painful, but it was weird to just be laying on the floor and not able to fly
You’ll only miss that part
Jason doesn’t miss any of it and still jokes about the fact that you were a Robin
“Babe at least you didn’t blow up in your time being Robin.”
JASON PETER TODD
Tim Drake:
Tumblr media
So you turn into a Robin on a mission with the team
He was on this mission and watched the entire thing go down
The funny part was that you could still talk since the magic was somewhat incomplete
There’s just this small voice “WHAT THE HELL!”
And then Tim knows that it’s definitely you
Tim was going to take you to one of the magic users in the league
but since Diana was right there when you got back, you stormed up flew up to her and just mouthed off
“DIANA LOOK AT ME! THAT ASSHOLE CIRCE TURNED ME INTO A ROBIN! THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH ROBIN BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE ROBIN! WATCHA LOOKIN AT BATS! I’M NOT UP FOR ADOPTION!”
Tim just died laughing
Cause it really was funny that you were just a little tiny Robin and mouthing off at the most powerful heroes in the world
Recorded it 100%
When Diana takes you to Themyscira in order to get one of the Amazon’s to help, Tim obviously couldn’t come
So it’s about a three day long trip and during that period, Timmy is a mess
He needs to know what’s happening at all times to ensure that you’re alright
When you do finally get home, he tackles you into a hug and checks you up and down to make sure that there’s nothing still wrong
Very happy when he concludes that there’s nothing wrong anymore and you’re back to the regular Y/N
Damian Wayne:
Tumblr media
His first instinct is to not let anyone touch you but him
He takes you everywhere and makes sure that you’re alright
You can’t talk but he’s helped birds before and has dated you for some time so he knows what no to do and what to do
That being said, he does want you back to normal ASAP
That means that he’ll call an emergency league meeting without Bruce’s approval
Although Bruce probably would have done the same thing since he really knows that Damian loves you and would make sure that you’re alright
That’s super important to him and the rest of the family since you are kind of family at this point
Damian insists that the magic users help turn you back very quickly
They call in Constantine since Z is off doing other things and he makes sure that he knows exactly what happens
Constantine has had some bad experiences with magic in the past and he wants to be sure that you’re not going to have anything really bad happen to you
Damian is the same way
Probably threatens John’s life if something goes wrong
Once you’re finally back, Damian also tackles you
Though Constantine has to hold him back at first since the shock of turning back and then having someone tackle you to the ground would be over whelming
But when he finally can, he does
Checks you over just like Tim and then doesn’t let you out of his sight for a week or so
It’s not that he doesn’t trust you, just not anyone else
He makes it a point that you’re too important to lose
Cuddles everywhere
Once he does step back and think about it though, he finds it kind of endearing that there are thousands of other things that you could’ve turned into but it was a Robin
It was sweet but didn’t need to last longer than it had to
Duke and Luke:
I’m putting these guys together since in my mind they’re pretty alike
Luke is the classical version of Duke and Duke is the Lofi/ alternative hip hop version of Luke
For these reasons they both have very similar reactions
And that would be to freak out
they take you to Bruce and get advice cause what is going on
They don’t have as much of a connection with the Robin deal since they weren’t ever technically Robin for Batman
Duke is a bit more of an arguable case but still
They do find it both suspicious and a bit comedic that it was a Robin out of anything else though
I have to say that they’re the most chill out of any of the Batfam when it comes to something like this since this kind of thing just happens a lot
Not turning into Robin, just weird outta pocket experiences
Like this is just another thing to add to the list of oh here we go again
Duke does think that you’re still really a pretty Robin
In the most non- weird way possible you’re just a pretty Robin
Luke doesn’t really pay attention to that and instead wants to get to the bottom of what happened so that it doesn’t happen again
They’re both really smart so they’ll figure it out but at different paces since one is more urgent than the other
Doesn’t mean that either care less though
Once you’re back they do make sure that extra diagnostics are run to make sure that nothing was effected and you’ll be okay long and short term
Once they’re satisfied it’ll all go back to being pretty normal
Sry this took so long, exams are running wild
