Dad!Jason Todd x Fem!Mom!Reader || Angst; Hurt/No Comfort || Word Count: 1,643
Warnings: dead dove.
i know how much you guys love my domestic!jason fics :3 so here's this one that's been bouncing around in my mind:
Tumblr media
The morning sun stretched its fingers, slowly finding its way centimetre by centimetre in order to reach into the small apartment bedroom. The soft warmth spread over Jason's face, giving him a slow and subtle wake-up call.
Jason almost doesn't want to wake up. The plush covers are pulled up to his shoulders. One arm lays over his stomach, resting against the cotton fabric. The other stuffed underneath the pillow, beside his head. He hasn't even opened his eyes yet, but he can feel your presence beside him.
Slowly, he blinks, adjusting to the daylight. He pulls his hand out from under the pillow and runs it across his face. He vaguely remembered something about needing to be up for something. Something about helping Dick with something or another.
He turned his head to the left and all possible worries about sleeping vanished when his eyes found you.
Jason couldn't help but smile. The sight of his girl curled up in the sheets beside him making him feel warmer than the sun ever could. You looked as completely at peace as he felt in the moment. The sunlight stretched over you, as well, illuminating every feature of yours. All of which he loved without a second thought.
Loved as if it was second nature.
As if it was breathing itself.
Here, with the comforter pulled up to your chin, face squished against the pillow, and a small pile of dried drool forming on it, you were safe. He was safe.
You were safe and he was safe and this was everything he had ever wanted to give you.
Peace. Safety. Comfortability.
Love.
He takes the hand resting across his stomach and reaches out to you. There was a stray lock that had fallen out of place. He wanted to fix it for you before it could wake you out of annoyance.
Then he heard the quick padding of feet coming down the hallway.
It filters in through the bedroom door, left open a crack, getting louder with each little slap of a bare foot rushing down the hall. Jason smiles at the sound.
Obviously, he's not the only one awake.
From where he's laying, Jason can only see the top of the door. He listens as the padding feet stop right outside of it, before it begins to slowly creak open. Jason pushes up onto his elbows to get a better look.
There's a small face poking their head around the door, a curious look on their face as they peer up at the bed, trying to determine if their parents are awake. As soon as Jason's head comes up into their view, a large, bright, slightly toothy smile spreads across their whole face.
Jason holds a finger to his lips as your shared toddler pushes the door open the rest of the way. Luckily, it doesn't bang loud enough to wake you up.
"Come to my side," Jason whispers.
The sound of quick padding feet picks up again. Jason lays his head back against his pillow. He gets a second more of peace before there's a small head, covered with dense, black curls, that's appearing next to him, barely visible over the edge of the bed. Next, there's tiny hands. They're reaching up and gripping at the blanket, attempting to pull themself up, only to no avail.
Jason turns and reaches down. He lifts them up with no effort, sitting them onto his chest. His voice is groggy, still full of sleep, as he whispers "Hiya, baby."
A fit of giggles rings throughout the room. His baby leans forward. Two hands settle on either side of Jason's cheeks. His baby grins at him still, two eyes staring into his own, matching ones, and matches his whisper, "Daddy."
Jason chuckles to himself. He gently grabs his toddler's hands, pressing kisses and pretending to nibble on the little, pudgy fingers.
Another round of giggles sound out, a bit louder than before.
You shuffle in your sleep, a small puff of air leaving your lips. The movement grabs the attention of both your baby and your husband.
Your baby flops down, suddenly, off of Jason's chest. They land between you two, on the mattress. One pudgy hand is pushing themself up, the other reaching out to your face, instead. Their whispering voice calls out, "Mommy!"
Jason turns onto his side, facing you, and pulls them back. He gently holds them to his chest with an arm around them, “Shhh," He whispers into their ear, "Mommy’s sleeping.”
"Mommy s'eeping.”
Jason laughs quietly smiling as their baby looks back up at him with that same, bright grin. They look up at him with your eyes, before looking back at you.
...
Your eyes?
Jason shuffles lower in the bed, putting his face next to his baby’s. All four of their eyes are focused on you.
“Isn’t she so pretty?" He whispers, "Look at how pretty Mommy is.”
You look so peaceful. So cozy. So beautiful. With the blanket wrapped around you, your limbs comfortably spread out. Your entire life right in front of you, yet you were blissfully unaware.
“Pretty,” Their baby whispers.
Jason grins, patting their stomach, “Yes. She’s very pretty isn’t she?” Jason lets go of their baby, “Go wake her up.”
Their baby squeals out a fit of giggles again. They immediately crawl forward between the small space. Their hands come down quick, making Jason flinch in preparation for the accidental blow, but they land gently on your face. Their lips come down to messily kiss your closed eyelid.
“Mommy,” they whisper loudly.
You let out a small groan. Your baby grins, gently patting your cheek. You peer one eye open, "What is it?"
Jason grins wide, his hand coming over to smooth over your upper arm through the blanket, “The wake up call came in.”
Their baby sat back on the mattress as you lifted your head, “So you were the first victim," your eyes squinted at the morning light coming in through the window behind Jason, "and you just let ‘em continue their rampage?”
Their baby scoots down to lay between their parents, their face level between theirs, still smiling and happy as could be.
“I was already awake,” Jason smiles, “I let you have five more minutes before the attack began.”
You hum, closing your eyes again, "What a gentleman."
“Mommmmy,” your baby dragged out the word, their little hand reaching out and touching your cheek.
You hum and peak an eye open again, “I’m awake, darling.”
Jason chuckles and leans over, “You better be. We’ve obviously slept in enough according to the little one."
You let out a small laugh. He presses a light kiss to your lips.
A small squeal sounds.
Jason looks down at the look of betrayal on their toddler’s face. Their little hands raise up in question. It makes him laugh wholeheartedly.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” he leans back down to the toddler instead. You're laughing with him, “Are you feeling left out?”
Jason kisses their cheek. You lean in and kiss their other cheek.
Jason looks back at you, a warm smile on his face. He begins to reach his hand out to cup your face.
His phone starts to ring.
He frowns. You aren't reacting. Neither is your toddler.
His hand hits the pillow where your head should be.
The sheets are cold.
The room is dark. It’s the middle of the night.
There’s no one in front of him. It’s just him in his empty, cold, uncomfortable bed.
There's no warmth. No sunlight. No comfortable blanket. No padding little feet.
No you.
He sits up, throwing his feet over the side of the bed, tossing the covers off of himself. He rubs a hand over his face. One glance at his phone shows that it’s Dick calling. No chance he’s picking up.
Not now.
Jason holds his head in his hands.
Why did he ever break up with you?
To protect you from himself, of course. All he had wanted to give you.
Peace. Safety. Comfortability.
and...
Love.
The phone stopped ringing. A moment later, it started up again.
His life is dangerous. He was dragging you down. You were better off without him. You had the chance to choose a different path than he had.
A path that lowered your chance of sudden death just by association.
But… if that’s the life that he could’ve had with you… a life he hadn’t fully considered himself ever being able to have…
God.
Why did he ever leave?
The sight of that little smile, held in his arms, lit up by the morning light, made his stomach churn so violently he almost darted to the bathroom.
What would their name have been? He didn't know the gender in the dream.
He would have let you name them. He was never good with names.
He thought back on their eyes. He would have wanted them to have your eyes. He would have wanted them to have every single one of your features. It was always easier to those who were as gorgeous as you. Even if you rarely believed him when he tried to convince you that you are.
The phone stopped ringing again.
A text came through. You promised.
Yeah, The image of you laying in the bed, your toddler laying beside you, both smiling up at him, flashed through Jason's mind, I did promise her, didn't I?
Jason lifts his head, shaking it a little to clear his thoughts.
He had made his bed, and now he was laying in it. And it wasn't the one that had you and your shared child in it.
He picked up the phone, cleared his throat, and redialed.
He ignored the tears still falling down his face.
And the sight of your contact that was still favourited.

IDK if requests are open but i NEED a Jason Todd hc as a dad
Love yaaa
🎧
they absolutely are ESPECIALLY for dad!jason omg… headcanons under the cut 🩷
also my first emoji anon hi ily 🥹
minors dni
★・・・★・・・★・・・★
jason todd never thought he’d be a father, but now that he is one, he can’t imagine life any other way.
I know in my heart of hearts he’s a girl dad. just picture it. everything about it makes sense.
she inherits his little white streak, and it’s his favourite thing in the world.
he’s determined to be the father he always wanted needed. he’s loving, affectionate, gentle, and fiercely protective of his little girl. from the first time he holds her as a newborn, he knows he’d kill die for her.
there’s no request he can deny his child. donuts after breakfast? of course, he’ll have one too. flashy cartoons before bed? absolutely. playing hair salon before school? he’s dropping her off with butterfly clips still in his white streak.
one day, you get a call from the school about an incident in class that started with a boy breaking her barbie pencil and ended in a bloody nose.
“my daddy told me it’s okay to punch mean people! he says he does it all the time at work.” oops.
you glare at jason, but he can’t hide the proud smile on his face. you apologise profusely to the teacher, ensuring this will be dealt with. as you leave the school, though, jason takes your daughter’s small hand in his, giving it an encouraging squeeze, and you know you can’t be mad for long.
there will come a day when you both have to contend with the challenges of adolescence—prom, parties, mood swings, driving. jason will have to meet her first boyfriend, and he won’t be able to hide his disapproving scowl.
for now, though, you take in the sight of one of gotham’s most feared vigilantes and the pigtailed little girl tugging at his sleeve. he bends down so she can whisper in his ear, and then turns to look at you with a grin. “I think rainbow ice cream sounds great, doll. whaddya think, ma?”
sigh…dad!jason you live in my heart 🫶

keep thinking about my fictional little family... then this drabble surrounding my dad!jason todd and mom!reader and their baby girl is born :3
the first drabble will be inspired by this video, but the opposite of what's happening there.
rora todd (my kid oc from one of my fics, link of the account is on my pinned!) cries when one day jason comes back home after like two weeks out of the country for conferences. he got himself a fortnight beard. rora will greet jason in front of the door, jason hides his face with one of souvenirs bag he got for her and boom she cries because she is like who the hell is this man? that's not my papa... and mom!reader can only hides her giggle when jason sends her a help me look. their daughter has never seen him with this kind of facial hair— at most it's only his five o'clock shadow, usually keeps his beard shaves everyday. it's understandable that little rora is confused.
it'll end up with them co-sleeping with her in their king-size bed, she's in between her parents. but instead of being in the center like usual, she clings into her mamabear's side—occasionally looking at jason and her lips trembles. her mom can only give her husband sympathetic look. though when rora falls asleep, she'll be perfectly at the center—she will roll to jason's side and her mama will scoot over to her. even after her little drama her subconscious knows she's her dad's little angel, lol. (and jason's just happy his whole world is in his embrace again after days not being with them, he missed them like crazy when he was away).
best believe though the first thing jason does in the morning is shaving his beard lol. he cannot stand the way his daughter cannot stand his beard. when rora wakes up she'll be like, "papa!" with her cute baby scream and her thousand kilowatt smile. it lights up jason's morning instantly.

Father's day present : dad!Jason Todd x mum!reader
Tumblr media
I'm so in love with this graphic UwU.
Requested by @parkjammys: sweet Jason fluff of him and his girls celebrating his first Father's Day, and although his baby girl is only a like year old she just knows her mum is giving dad kisses and copies her. (hope this will lift your spirits a bit, candice :) )
This is just purest form of fluff. Get your tissues ready.
***
„Who’s my little sunshine?” Y/N cooed standing above the cradle watching her 1 year old daughter with a bright smile and yet, slightly wet eyes.
God!
If a year ago someone told her, that despite all the vigilantism she will have a kid with Jason, she would simply laugh at that person face.
But now? Now, she was the happiest woman on earth. She had an amazing partner and a child, both of whom she loved with all her heart. And it was even better since it was fully reciprocated.
“Gagagaga” d/n babbled, putting her little fingers in her mouth, laughing at her mother’s funny face, looking just so adorable.
“Oh, my little one” Y/N reached inside and her daughter immediately extended her tiny arms, ready to be lifted and hugged. “Who’s mummy’s daughter?” Y/N rubbed d/n nose, getting another giggle “You are. Yes, you are. Oh, I love you so much, peanut” the girl kissed the top of her daughter head, rubbing her back and holding her tightly to her chest. “And your daddy loves you too. And why we speak of your dad, we have a very special day today, you know….”
“Dada, dada, dada…..”
“Yes, honey. Dada. That’s right.” Y/N sighed “It’s Jay’s first father’s day and we are both going to make sure it’s special for him. God knows, how much he had to go through to get just a bit of happiness with us.”
“Dada!” d/n crowed again, squirming in her mother’s arm as apparently she saw something behind. At first, Y/N got scared that some assassin broke into the house and were to attack, hurt or kidnap them both, giving Jace another trauma instead of a happy father’s day (can you blame her considering the past experience?), but it was just the talk of the devil.
“Well, hello to you two my lovely daughter and her equally lovely mother.” Jason smiled brightly, closing the door behind him.
“Hi, honey.” Y/N whispered taking a moment to appreciate him being safe and healthy, not bruised, bloodied, scared or bleeding. Despite the fact that he didn’t fully give up on his vigilantism, he was far more careful during patrols. He knew what he had to loose. And that little moments, where they could just be a normal family, laughing and spending time together were everything for Y/N.
“How was my troublemaker today?” Jason took a step forward, leaning over and pecking Y/N’s forehead “did you get some time for yourself?”
“Just a bit. But you know, d/n is definitely father’s daughter” Y/N let out a chuckle “quicksilver. Gotta keep an eye on her cause otherwise….”
“Oh, I know what can happen. Do you need rest, love?”
“No, not really” the girl shook her head “I rest best knowing I have you two with me. But. Since it’s your celebration, we got a little gift for you. Can you take her so I can bring it?” Y/N handed the daughter to Jace who grabbed her tightly and did a little helicopter in the air, making funny sounds and entertaining his little girl. And to think that he was the one worried he would be a bad father.
He was the best.   
“Wait, you said my celebration?” he frowned  a bit, confused “it’s not my birthday or anything like that so what….?
“Oh, please, don’t tell me you forgot” Y/N yelled from the other room and soon came back holding a small paper bag “It’s father’s day, obviously.”
“Oh.” Jason’s eyes grew wide. His very first father’s day. The second that thought hit him, his eyes watered a bit. There was still this little, vicious voice inside, that sometimes told him that he did not deserve any of this. That after everything he did, he should not ever interfere with anyone’s life. That no matter how hard he would try, one or both of his girl will end up getting hurt because of him.
“Jace….” Y/N quickly approached him, cupping his cheek, recognizing all the signs of his doubts and memories and impending mental breakdown “Jason, baby, look at me.” He listened, his eyes focusing on her pretty face “I love you.” she simply said “your daughter loves you. We need you, baby. The past is in the past, what you did or who you were does not define you, you hear me? That was not you.”
“thank you….” he whispered “it’s just…. a lot.”
“I know, love, but you are not alone. Hell, you should know by now you will never be. You got us. You got family, Jason.”
“I love you both.”
“We know.” Y/n smiled and stood on her tiptoes, capturing Jason’s lips in hers quickly, pulling away way too soon for his liking. So taking the initiative, adjusting his grip on his daughter, he wrapped his other hand around the mother, pulling her back.
“I’m not done with you.” he mumbled, leaning forehead on hers.
“Really?” Y/N smiled, pecking his right cheek and then left and then his nose, giggling.
“Still not enough.” he connected their mouths again, kissing her with all the love and passion he felt. Jason was not good with words, especially with the big ones, but his actions and his gestures were the best expression of them and Y/N learned that through the years they were together.
“Jason!” the girl squealed and pulled away the second she felt his hand sneak under her T-shirt “Not in front of our daughter! And not now!”
“Later than?” his eyes became a bit darker as he watched the blush creeping on Y/N’s cheek. At this point answer wasn’t even necessary. “Besides.” He continued as d/n started wriggling a bit “I don’t think our grig mind us being all touchy-feely towards each other.”
“What do you…?” Y/N started, but as her gaze landed on her daughter she couldn’t hold back a laugh. D/N put her little arms on Jason’s shoulder for some balance as she leaned forward pressing her little, soft lips against his cheek leaving a wet mark. And then she giggled and repeated the action two more times.
“mamamamama”
“Oh yes, that’s right. That’s what mummy does to make daddy feel better” Jason whispered, heart clenched with all the feelings “guess she got her observational skills and intelligence from you, Y/N. Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For making this the best father’s day I could ever imagine.”
“You didn’t even open your present yet…..” Y/N pointed out.
“You both are my presents. I just want to be with you and hold you. Is that ok?” he whispered.
“Sure, Jason. As long as you want.”
“Perfect.” He sighed deeply and closed his eyes, minds wandering in some places only he knew. “But I still get to open that bag, right?” it only took him a  minute to get back to his smug attitude he didn’t lose during the years.
“Sure, babe. We definitely have a no return policy when it comes to any present.”

how would jason be as a dad?
Jason Todd - Father Edition
Tumblr media
do i think he will be like anakin/darth vader, despite his writing (mostly) being depicted as DC's tragic fallen sidekick? no
he will probably be incredibly apprehensive the entirety of the pregnancy (if he impregnates someone)
but will read every single parenting book in the gotham library
and he will learn every nook and cranny about various parenting styles
PTO parent
threatens karen w a knife bc she was intimidating/using fear tactics to scare the kids
"why dont u pick on someone ur own size" - jason, at karen, at approximately 8:57pm
reads a book a night to his baby
and doesnt miss a night. ever.
self-identifies as a DILF
(until he gets hit on by women. then he cringes.)
teaches the importance of boundaries, self-respect, and self-defense
yes, hes a karate dad. his kids take karate and he refuses to elaborate further
doesnt understand cocomelon
and bans it from his roof
but loves cookie monster and gonger's food truck adventures
sings lullabies to his babies
but the lullabies are alice in chains or metallica hits
he even bought matching black sabbath shirts for him and his baby
HOME COOKED MEALS FOR HIS KIDS
and those really cool homemade lunch kits you see on pinterest, with the star shaped sandwiches and dinosaur carrots
will literally dropkick anybody who hits on his kid
"they are a fucking child, karen. why are you making comments about 'waiting till he's 18'? what're you gonna do, RISE from the grave and snatch my child? fucking crypt keeper."
"Oh, shit. Did you hear that? This creep wants to hit on my baby, who still shits herself and can barely hold her head up. How about I take you on a date, and show you exactly what I'd do to you if I catch you makin' those comments about her again, hmm?"
doesnt care about being a single dad, and doesnt use his kids as pawns to flirt with others
he trusts duke the most (aside from alfred) with his kids
then tim, then damian, then dick.
"what the fuc- he's 11!1!" - dick, when walking in on damian babysitting jason's child
"yes, and you stick your escrima stick wherever it fits. stay humble." - jason
bruce is the second best grandpa in the world
alfred is the world's best pop-pop
and jason goes to him for parenting advice, or when he's feeling doubtful about himself as a father
and it usually ends up with him in tears and alfred comforting him because he's a better father than he's ever had

“I’m hanging up the mask.” He finally said.
It wasn’t quite like the first time he’d said it out loud, in the privacy of his apartment, curled in bed with Jazz. Only brave enough to whisper the words in the dark. There wasn’t that rush of anxiety and relief that had hit him at finally saying what had twisted over and over in his head for weeks. Now there was just that settled feeling, the certainty of it all, the surety of being on the path he wanted to be on.
He closed his hand into a loose fist, fingers rubbing over his palm, imagining he could still feel the warmth of Jazz’s skin beneath his hand. The tiny thump-thump-thump that always made his stomach flip and his heart squeeze when he felt it. It made it all the easier to say, “I wanted to ask if you’d look after my territory for me when I do.”
(Jason asks a fellow Alley Kid for help as he begins the next chapter of his life.)
-
Chapter 2 of Gotham Ghosts is up! Jumping ahead to Year 3, featuring Jason & Steph bonding, some Anger Management, and Jason taking a step back from the vigilante/crime lord business! :D

Ignoring that this is right after Jason died (15) but before he went to gotham (19 I think) and all that implies.
What if this makes a kid... And Danny's the son of Jason Todd maybe a year or two younger than Dami. We can have big brother Damian, assassin! Danny, and Dad!Jason.

In deep trouble
Tumblr media
Jason was not a patient man, but when it comes to his daughter he’s very patient.
Being the four year old she is she wanted to explore more of Gotham, but Jason was against it.
Gotham could be peaceful sometimes.
Keyword sometimes.
Jason wanted his daughter to be safe, but just like him she liked to do her own thing.
The young father had to change his attitude towards things cause his daughter was taking on his attitude.
******************************************
Picking up his daughter in his car instead of his motorcycle was the safest.
When Journey saw him she ran to him hugging his legs until he bend down and took her into his arms. “Hey sweet girl how was school?” Jason asked moving curls away from her face. “I had fun daddy we had a pizza party.” the little girl said while they walked hand in hand to his car. “Really, did you eat all your pizza?” Jason asked buckling the little girl in her car seat. “Uh huh.” Journey said nodding her head.
Jason was happy to hear that his little girl had a good day at school.
When they got home the vigilante got dinner ready and helped his daughter with her homework.
After homework and dinner was finished Jason sent his daughter to get ready for bed.
He was on the phone with Bruce and the dark knight was telling him he was sending him out for a mission with Dick, and it’ll be three weeks in Russia.
Jason dreaded being away from Journey but the mission required their undivided attention.
Packing was always hard for the father but he also knew that his babygirl would be safe with Bruce and his other siblings.
Jason and Dick always made a great team and for this mission they needed to be a team.
Jason called Sam to let her know and the girl would be over but he told her that Journey would be over at the Wayne manor if she could check on Journey or even be there with Journey so she wouldn’t be scared he’ll appreciate it.
After hanging up Journey jumped on Jason’s back giggling while Jason just smiled and skillfully flipped her to his front kissing her all over her face and blowing raspberries on her tummy.
When they calmed down Jason sat his little girl next to him one hand in his lap the other held onto Journey’s hand watching her play with his fingers. “Journey baby I have to go tomorrow with Uncle Dickie for a work thing and I’ll be gone for three weeks.” Jason explained not wanting to tell her everything but also wanting to tell her the truth to a certain extent. “But I don’t want you to go bye-bye.” The little girl said tears falling down her face hiding her face into her father’s side. “It’s not for long sweetheart I’ll be back.” Jason said picking his crying daughter up moving her to his lap letting her cry into his chest while he rocked them back and forth whispering sweet nothings into her ear stroking her hair.
When the little girl calmed down he gently moved her away from his chest and wiped her face with his thumbs. “While I’m gone you’ll be staying with grandpa Bruce and great-grandpa Alfred at the Wayne manor and Sam is coming to stay with you so you don’t get scared or feel lonely.” Jason said gently. “But I want you daddy!” Journey said her little voice cracking with emotion that hurt Jason’s heart. “I know baby I’ll be back before you know it.” Jason said hating leaving his daughter but he knew he had to go not only to protect his daughter but to protect the world.
When Journey was asleep he placed her in his bed covering her with her blanket that she leaves in his room and then the duvet making sure she’s warm and comfortable.
He then went into Journey’s room cleaning her toys knowing he didn’t really need to pack clothes or toys for her cause they both had clothes at the Wayne manor for whenever they stayed over.
Jason then went to the kitchen and cleaned up making sure everything was cleaned and put in order.
He then went back to his room packed his Armor and weapons making sure he had everything ready for in the morning then he went to bed holding his daughter close to him.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The next morning Jason carried a sleeping Journey to the car placing her in her car seat and driving over to the manor.
When they got there he saw that Sam’s car was already there.
Jason offered to pick her up but she kindly declined the offer.
During his absence, Jason knew knew his daughter might want to go somewhere fun he even gave Sam money for her and his little girl not wanting Sam to spend her hard earn money, which she tried to give it back to him saying that she loved spending time with Journey and she makes enough to spend but he didn’t have it any other way so she took it without saying another word.
Walking inside Jason saw that Bruce and Dick was waiting for him.
Jason just gave them a nod and went upstairs to his old room laying his daughter on the bed.
He then went downstairs to the cave to talk to Bruce and Dick. “So this a get in get out mission and Jason no killing.” Bruce said looking at his son seriously. “I can’t make any promises old man.” Jason said just as serious. “I hate to admit it but he’s right Bruce some people aren’t meant to be saved.” Dick said shocking both Jason and Bruce but both keep their faces emotionless.
Going back upstairs Jason saw that Journey was up playing watching Mickey Mouse with Sam. “Daddy!” excitedly yelled running to her father hugging him while Jason bent down taking his daughter into his arms. “How was your nap babygirl?” Jason asked. “It was good.” Journey said looking into her father’s eyes cupping his face in her tiny hands. “We’re here cause I have to go to work with uncle Dickie, and you’ll be here with Grandpa Bruce and great-Grandpa Alfred.” Jason explained seeing his daughter’s sad face. “How long will you be gone? I don’t want you to go bye-bye.” the little girl said sadly. “Three weeks.” Jason looking at his little one who looked at him sadly. “But that’s a long time.” the little girl said not wanting her daddy to be away for that long. “Not that long I promise I’ll be back before you know it.” Jason said kissing his daughter’s head putting her down.
While Jason was in the cave with Dick going over the mission Journey was upstairs packing somethings and decided to go along with her father and Uncle.
Journey had to time everything right.
Everyone had dinner around 6:30pm, they watched tv around 7:45pm till 8:15pm and the little girl was in bed around 9pm with her dad tucking her in. “I love you babygirl, be a good girl while I’m away and I promise to bring you something back.” Jason said while holding his daughter to his chest stroking her hair as he spoke softly. “Night night daddy.” Journey said snuggling into her dad’s chest. “Night night sweet girl.” Jason said kissing his daughter’s head.
Jason hated being away from his daughter it physically made him sick to his stomach and his heart hurt. But he knew by leaving on this mission he was protecting from the threat that was happening in Russia.
The little girl heard that her dad and uncle were leaving at midnight so she snuck on the bat-plane and hid quietly.
When she felt the plane moving she saw her uncle and dad dressed in their uniforms her dads looked different which kind of scared her but she knew her daddy from a mile away.
For 9.74 hour’s journey stayed hidden and quiet.
When they finally landed the little girl had to use the restroom and she needed a bath, so she went to the bathroom took care of her business and bathed quickly changing her clothes to something warmer.
As soon as she got out of the bathroom she bump into someone.
Looking up Journey saw her uncle.
The next morning Jason carried a sleeping Journey to the car placing her in her car seat and driving over to the manor.
When they got there he saw that Sam’s car was already there.
Jason offered to pick her up but she kindly declined the offer.
During his absence, Jason knew knew his daughter might want to go somewhere fun he even gave Sam money for her and his little girl not wanting Sam to spend her hard earn money, which she tried to give it back to him saying that she loved spending time with Journey and she makes enough to spend but he didn’t have it any other way so she took it without saying another word.
Walking inside Jason saw that Bruce and Dick was waiting for him.
Jason just gave them a nod and went upstairs to his old room laying his daughter on the bed.
He then went downstairs to the cave to talk to Bruce and Dick. “So this a get in get out mission and Jason no killing.” Bruce said looking at his son seriously. “I can’t make any promises old man.” Jason said just as serious. “I hate to admit it but he’s right Bruce some people aren’t meant to be saved.” Dick said shocking both Jason and Bruce but both keep their faces emotionless.
Going back upstairs Jason saw that Journey was up playing watching Mickey Mouse with Sam. “Daddy!” excitedly yelled running to her father hugging him while Jason bent down taking his daughter into his arms. “How was your nap babygirl?” Jason asked. “It was good.” Journey said looking into her father’s eyes cupping his face in her tiny hands. “We’re here cause I have to go to work with uncle Dickie, and you’ll be here with Grandpa Bruce and great-Grandpa Alfred.” Jason explained seeing his daughter’s sad face. “How long will you be gone? I don’t want you to go bye-bye.” the little girl said sadly. “Three weeks.” Jason looking at his little one who looked at him sadly. “But that’s a long time.” the little girl said not wanting her daddy to be away for that long. “Not that long I promise I’ll be back before you know it.” Jason said kissing his daughter’s head putting her down.
While Jason was in the cave with Dick going over the mission Journey was upstairs packing somethings and decided to go along with her father and Uncle.
Journey had to time everything right.
Everyone had dinner around 6:30pm, they watched tv around 7:45pm till 8:15pm and the little girl was in bed around 9pm with her dad tucking her in. “I love you babygirl, be a good girl while I’m away and I promise to bring you something back.” Jason said while holding his daughter to his chest stroking her hair as he spoke softly. “Night night daddy.” Journey said snuggling into her dad’s chest. “Night night sweet girl.” Jason said kissing his daughter’s head.
Jason hated being away from his daughter it physically made him sick to his stomach and his heart hurt. But he knew by leaving on this mission he was protecting from the threat that was happening in Russia.
The little girl heard that her dad and uncle were leaving at midnight so she snuck on the bat-plane and hid quietly.
When she felt the plane moving she saw her uncle and dad dressed in their uniforms her dads looked different which kind of scared her but she knew her daddy from a mile away.
For 9.74 hour’s journey stayed hidden and quiet.
When they finally landed the little girl had to use the restroom and she needed a bath, so she went to the bathroom took care of her business and bathed quickly changing her clothes to something warmer.
As soon as she got out of the bathroom she bump into someone.
Looking up Journey saw her uncle.
(Dick Greyson):
“Journey Marie Todd what are you doing here?” Dick asked looking at his niece in shock. “Hey Uncle Dickie.” Journey said nervously. “Jason we have a situation you might want to come back to the plane.” Dick said over his comm. “on my way.” Jason said over his comm.
Dick knew his brother was going to be beyond upset.
Nightwing called Batman and told him the situation and he too was upset but was going to let his son deal with it.
Jason made it back to the plane taking his helmet off looking straight at his daughter. “Journey Marie Todd what are you doing here!” Jason yelled not wanting to lose his temper but his anger was at his peak seeing his daughter. “Hi daddy.” Journey said nervously. “What are you doing here Journey?!” Jason asked ignoring her nervous hi.
Journey stayed quiet not knowing what to say. “Journey Marie Todd I need you to talk before I lose my temper!” Jason said trying to stay calm. “I wanted to be with you.” the little girl said not understanding why her father and uncle looked so upset. “I told you that I’m coming back home in three weeks and now me and your uncle have to rush this mission so we can get you home!, not only did you put yourself at risk at getting hurt or worse, you put not only yourself in danger but you put us at risk and danger!” Jason yelled in anger.
Journey was crying scared never seeing her daddy act this way.
Jason saw the fear in his babygirl’s eyes and the tears falling down her face.
He picked her up holding her in his arms letting her cry in his chest. “I’m sorry for scaring you sweetheart but you can’t do this it’s dangerous, I don’t want anything happening to you. I can’t lose you.” Jason expressed.
Journey didn’t say anything she just hiccuped in her father’s chest.
Jason sat down on one of the seats with his daughter in his arms.
He placed his daughter in his lap patting her back. “Are you hungry sweetheart? have you eaten anything today?” Jason asked looking down at his daughter.
The little girl shook her head feeling her stomach growling.
Dick went to the small kitchen on the plane and grabbed his niece a snack and some juice handing it to his brother who handed it to the little girl.
After Journey was finished eating, and drinking her Juice she laid her head back on her father’s chest.
Dick walked over to the father/daughter duo. “I know you told Bruce. What did he say?” He said he’ll let you deal with it.” Dick said. “Well I’ll deal with it more when we get back to Gotham but right now we have to finish here earlier than expected then get home I’m ready to get home.” Jason said. “I’m with you on that, I miss my bed.” Dick said jokingly. “I’m sure you do.” Jason said smirking at his brother.
Journey stayed quiet not moving from her seat.
Jason noticed his daughter’s sitting quietly not daring to make a move. “Journey baby what’s the matter?” Jason asked looking at his daughter in concern.
The little girl didn’t say anything she just looked at her father then looked out the window. “Journey talk to me baby.” Jason said sitting next to his daughter. “You hate me.” Journey said sadly. “No sweetheart, I don’t hate you. I’ll never hate you. I love you more than anything.” Jason said taking his daughter’s hands in his. “I’m not angry anymore, I want you to know I love you more than anything and I know you hate when we’re away from each other and I do too babygirl but you sneaking here was very dangerous for you and it could have been worse if someone dangerous came aboard this plane, and me and your uncle wasn’t around. I don’t know what I’ll do if anything happened to you god forbid, that’s why I was so angry.” Jason said cupping his daughter’s face.
Journey was young but she understood the depth of everything her father was telling her.
She didn’t know what her dad and the rest of her family did, she just knew they worked together.
Looking into her father’s eyes she saw love and care. “I’m sorry daddy.” Journey said. “It’s ok baby and I’m sorry that I lost my temper and yelled at you. Don’t ever do this again I mean it Journey Marie Todd and when we get home I want you to give me your iPad, I’ll let you keep your phone cause you’ll need it going to school and your grounded for a week.” Jason said softly but firmly.
When they got back to Gotham and to the Bat-cave, Jason carried his sleeping daughter seeing Bruce and the rest of the Bat family along with Sam. “I’m so sorry Jason I should have been paying attention more. “It’s ok Sammy it’s not your fault I’m just glad she’s safe and we’re back home safely.” Jason said cupping Sam’s cheek bring her into his embrace.
Bruce walked up to his son’s awaiting their mission reports. “Mission reports.” Bruce said simply. “All good, no deaths reported.” Dick said simply. “Good. Glad the mission was successful.” Bruce said. “We’re gonna stay for awhile.” Jason said looking at Bruce. “That’s fine with me, this is your home to stay as long as you want.” Bruce said.
Jason room his daughter to her room waking her up for a bath, washing her hair and gut her dressed in her pajamas.
After his daughter was in bed and he had her iPad, Jason kissed Journey’s head then he went to his room to shower getting dressed in black sweatpants and a black T-shirt.
Seeing Sam sitting on his bed rubbing her hands nervously she looked up at him when he got out of his bathroom.
Jason sensed her nervousness and walked over to her and sat next to her taking her hands into his. “Jason I’m really sorry I looked away for a second and Journey was gone, if you don’t want to be together anymore or you want to fire me as her babysitter I’ll understand.” Sam said sadly. “Sammy I love you, I’m not gonna fire you. Journey can be sneaky but after this experience I know she’ll never do what she did ever again.” Jason said standing up putting his daughter’s iPad on her charger that he also took. “But-“ Sam started but Jason cut her off. “I’m not mad at either of you I’m just concerned about what happened, I’m just glad my daughter is safe and didn’t get hurt and same goes for you too.” Jason said cupping his girlfriend’s face with bath hands. “Journey and you mean the world to me and I was so scared I’ll lose that over this one small mistake, I honestly thought you’ll kill me for it.” Sam said her hands started shaking. “Sam I’ll never hurt you or let anyone hurt you, now if you were anyone else yes I would’ve killed you for sure but your my girlfriend and the love of my life I’ll never hurt you or let anyone hurt you. You had no idea what was going on in Journey’s head or knew she’ll sneak off, like I said she knows what she did wrong, she’s grounded for a week without her iPad and she the only reason why I’m allowing her to keep her phone is because she’ll need it for school.” Jason said simply. “Did you yell at her?” Sam asked looking at her boyfriend who looked at her in her eyes. “I did, I lost my temper, but I only yelled because what she did was extremely dangerous and I’m afraid that one day I’ll lose her because of what I do or did in the past.” Jason said for the first time telling someone his deepest fears.
Sam walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Jay Jay you’re not gonna lose her, I think anyone would be extremely crazy for messing with the daughter of Redhood and granddaughter of Batman.” Sam said while Jason wrapped his arms around her waist. “That would be crazy but it’s not impossible we all have our enemies.” Jason said. “Y’all are safe and back home that’s what matters the most.” Sam said leaning her head on Jason’s shoulder.
They soon went to bed falling asleep happy that they were safely back home and not in any hurt or danger.

I’m writing a dad!jason fic but the thing is he literally got the kid yesterday and has no means of child care so he has to get Steph over to sit in the apartment for a few hours while he does red hood things but neither of them are happy about it. He threatens to chop off her toes. Steph only does it bc she knows that once Bruce finds out it’ll be way funnier if the kid has already been with Jason for a while. I’m pretty sure I’m spoiling my own fic but whatever it’s funny

(Un)Dead Beat Dad (Chapter 6)
New chapter out! enjoy <3 chap 1 Chap 5 Chap 7 Ao3 link
Warning!! mentions of nightmares and crying, also 5k words under cut!!!!
Jason stared into Danny's room as his heart skipped a beat, his bed is empty. Jason ran through the room and tore blankets off, ripped doors open and another garbled cry sounded out, from a different place in the apartment, his own room, he ran to his door and pulled it open, gun drawn and cocked, ready to fire at whoever was inside, stopping to see Danny curled into a shaking ball in his bed, just like he did when he had nightmares when he was with Bruce. He surveyed the room before lowering his guns and setting them on his table, walking over to Danny and sitting down on his knees next to the bed. Jason took a breath and carefully placed his hand on the boy's shaking shoulder, his eyes flying open as he sat up and let out another strained shout, immediately flinching at the pain it caused; tugging his stitches. He scooted back on the bed, an ecto-blast in his previously burnt hand, frying it more beneath the bandages. 
Jason lifted both his hands up to show he didn’t have anything to hurt Danny with, easing forward and placing one of his empty palms on the blanket next to Danny. After a few minutes of calming breathing exercises and Danny’s hand clenched tight around Jason's Jacket, Danny only had salty tears and shuddering shoulders.
“Danny, hey, Danny, look at me,” Jason pleaded in a small voice, “Take another deep breath for me.”
Danny looked across the room with glazed eyes, signing ‘don’t need to’ as more glowing tears fell on Jason's comforter. Not that he minds, of course.
“Humor me. Just, say, five more deep breaths, okay?” Danny nodded and did as Jason asked, his shoulders slowing with their shivering each time. A silence filled the air, only interrupted with a shaky breath from the small boy, “Do you want to talk about the nightmare?” Danny vigorously shook his head ‘no’, and Jason immediately reassured him it was okay, he won’t push.
Jason saw Danny’s eyes unfocused, staring into the corner of the room. He turned and looked as hard as he could, nothing. Not even that strange feeling he had in the back of his throat when that lady came to drop Danny off. Jason let out a hopeful breath of air and whispered Danny’s name again, he got a slow blink in response. Seeing Danny could still hear him, he carefully laid his palm on Dannys shoulder, who leaned into his touch seemingly unknowingly. Jason thought for a moment and put his free hand on Dannys other shoulder. The boy leaned over into his arms, Jason physically feeling the room's temperature rise back to normal levels. He led the small boy's head to his chest and with a lot of shifting and squirming eventually sat on his bed with Danny’s head tucked tightly into his chest, the rest of the boy curled into a shivering ball in his lap. Jason rubbed circles into Dannys back and whispered small words of comfort to him as the room temperature rose more and the shaking died down.
Not long after, Jason felt the shivers stop and the room float at a normal temperature. The boy in his arms still felt cold to the touch but that seemed to be his normal state, at least now it didn’t hurt to touch with is bare hand.  Jason sighed and felt the soft muted rumble of the boy under his hand as his comm beeped in his ear, Oracles voice flooding in.
“Sooooo… hot toddy, you gonna explain that cutie that's on your lap doing- what is that, purring?” Barbara asked with a tease.
Jason froze. Fuck. The rumbling abruptly stopped and the boy squirmed under his hand with a whine from his chest?
“Oh, Danny, are you okay? Are you in pain?” he tilted his head down to get a better look at the boy, who twisted up and opened his glassy eyes, nodding his head.
“Do you want tea? Hot chocolate?” Jason rubbed his hand up and down Danny's back in circular motions, as the boy nodded and leaned into his chest. Jason sat up and tucked the boy into his side, walking towards the kitchen. 
“So his name’s Danny?” Babs said, a smile in her voice. The boy pulled his head back and his ears twisted and flicked, his face contorting in confusion at Jason's mask.
Jason huffed and reached a hand up, clicking the comm and camera off so babs couldn't hear or see, “Just my sister, she usually helps during my patrol but right now she’s just being nosey.”
Danny’s ears flicked again and he brought his hand up to sign where Jason could see it, ‘she’s gone?’ 
Jason sighed and sat the small boy down on the counter and turned the lights on, dimming them immediately after Danny flinched, and smiled at him. “For now, yeah. How are you feeling?”
‘Tired, my throats dry and my chest hurts’ Danny lifted his hand and rubbed his red puffy eyes.
“Then let's fix that, how do you feel about some chamomile with a bit of soy?” Danny nodded and smiled.
A chirp filled Jason's ear and Barbara's voice filtered into his ear via the mask, “He’s so darn cute!”
Danny’s eyes darted to the floor, his face and ears flushing green, squirming in his seat on the counter.
“Oh my god Jason, he’s adorable!!” 
Jason huffed a laugh and shook his head, placing a kettle on the stove and turning it on, spinning around to a cabinet and opening it, “He can hear you babs.”
“Really?! Oh hi Danny! You are so stinkin’ cute! You look so much like Jason did when Bru-” her voice cut off with a click as Jason took off his domino and tossed it on the table.
“Okay, enough of the overbearing sister,” Jason said with a chuckle, grabbing a chamomile and a green tea bag and tossing them into their respective cups, spinning around and leaning against the counter, facing Danny, “Did you not like your room?”
Danny shook his head side to side, ‘I like the room, it was just…’  He sat there with a nervous look on his face and rubbed his neck, a nervous tick clearly.
“The nightmare?” Danny nodded his head with his eyes glued to the floor. Jason hummed and reached forward, ruffling the small boy's fluffy hair. “Don’t sweat it, kid. Happens to the best of us, even batman.”
‘Even,’ Danny stopped for a second and looked at Jason nervously, ‘Even you?’ 
“Yeah Danny, even me.”
The small boy got a smile on his face and looked further, tilting his head towards the kettle on the stove, pointing at it.
“Done?” a nod, “Alrighty, lets get some tea and head to bed.” Jason poured the teas and added soy milk and honey to their [respective] mugs, stirring them and handing a batman themed mug to Danny.
Danny took a cautious sip and smiled, not too hot, just the right amount of sweet, he thought. He looked up and nodded. Jason sipped his own tea for a bit before grabbing both mugs in one hand and Danny with the other, holding the boy on his hip. 
He walked into Danny's room and set the mugs down, carefully tucking him into his bedsheets hoping the boy didn't see the mess he made looking for him and clicking the light off next to the bed. He smiled and stood up before a soft tugging on his jacket pulled him back. He spun around and saw Danny lift his hands in the light drifting in from the hall.
‘Can you, stay? Please?’ 
“‘Course I can, kid. You go ahead and try to fall asleep, I’ll be here,” Jason sat down on the foot of the bed and put a hand on Danny’s shoulder, “Goodnight, kiddo. Sweet dreams.” 
Danny smiled and curled in on himself, the soft purring erupting from his chest after a few minutes, lulling Jason into a sleep of his own at the foot of Danny’s bed.
••••••
Danny woke up with a start, scanning the room for a second before remembering where he was. Jason's apartment. His own new bed. He felt a weight in his hand and saw a larger hand holding his own. He followed it down and saw Jason's face, calm and asleep. Danny pulled his legs out of the covers and crawled over to Jason's sleeping body, and curled into his side. For some unknown reason, Jason felt familiar, Danny could feel the ectoplasm inside of him calling out to Jason, telling Danny to stay with him. Jason felt sick. Danny wasn’t exactly sure why, but Jason needed help, he felt like he had ectoplasm inside of him, and not the good kind either. 
Danny was broken from his thoughts by a shifting from the large body next to him, Jason groggily wrapped his arm around Danny and pulled him closer, a small nearly indistinct rumble coming from his chest. Danny smiled and let his body make its own accompanying rumble and closed his eyes again, letting sleep wash over him in Jasons arms.
••••••
Danny woke up again to the feeling of something moving beneath him and opened his eyes, seeing Jason standing up and draping a throw blanket on top of him.
“Just heading to take a shower, I’ll be right back Danny, go back to sleep.” Jason said with a smile. Danny nodded and closed his eyes again, hearing Jason start the shower a few rooms over and drifting back into a calm sleep.
••••••
A window lock flipped and the window slid open, three girls quietly sliding inside, one in a green suit jacket and pants, one in black pants and a black shirt with a cat on it, and another in short shorts and a baggy gray shirt with a red duck on it. The one in green slipped and knocked an empty mug off of a side table, stilling when it hit the floor and staring at the blond girl who dramatically shushed her with a well manicured finger,the one in black on the fire escape rolling her eyes and whispering “amatures” under her breath. The one in black climbed with a practiced ease in and slid the window closed, walking over to the counter, seeing the sink and counter with dishes in sets of two. The one in the gray shirt pointed to two empty hot chocolate cups on the living room table, she runs over to the one in green and gasps, grabbing her hands and shaking them, squealing and jumping up and down.
“Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I knew it! That’s why he wasn’t at gi-” the girl was cut off by the feeling of cold metal on her temple, before a loud sigh from where the gun was held and it lowered.
“Damn it Harley, I thought you were trying to rob me or somethin’, text me next time you wanna break into my apartment.” Jason said with a huff, uncocking the pistol and laying it on the counter.
“We were worried Jason! What were we supposed to think when you missed girls night and didn’t say anything! No text, no call, no pigeon-”
“Okay okay I get it, I’ll text you next time. Now get out. I have a shower to finish.” Jason said in fond annoyance, the three girls just now looking him over and seeing him in just a sloppily thrown on towel, water still dripping from his soapy hair as he turned around and walked back into the bathroom with a heavy sigh.
Harley turned to Ivy and started laughing, ivy joining in and leaning against the counter for support.
Ivy calmed down after a minute and laid down on the couch, which was, kinda scratchy? For some reason? But ignored it when Harley jumped in the air and landed on her with a loud ‘oof’, Salena dropping into a lazyboy chair.
Harley grabbed the remote and scrolled around different apps, turning on a show about some devil in california solving crimes, whatever. All of them watched the show for a while until they heard the squeak of a door- not the bathroom either-, freezing and turning to look at the door.
They looked lower as a small body came out of the room, an old and used blanket hanging off of a small child in worn down striped blue pajamas. The kid yawned and rubbed their eyes, walking forward a few steps before opening their eyes and seeing all three girls in the living room. Seeing them all the kid’s eyes flew open and started watering, they spun around fast and ran back into the room they were in, accidentally dropping the blanket and slamming the door closed behind them.
Selina turned around to the two girls on the couch with a shocked expression on her face, “Did Jason skip out on us because he has a kid?!”
Ivy sat herself and Harley up, confused. “Yeah, yeah I think so, and we just-”
“We just scared the shit out of that kid, who is now crying.” Harley said, jumping off of the couch and running towards the kids room, sitting down at the closed door. Selina and ivy ran behind her, Selina slowing down to grab the blanket . 
“Hey, kiddo, My names Harley Quinn and the other girl’s are my friends, Pamela Ivy, my wife, and Selina Kyle, we’re both really good friends of Jason. We were worried about your, uhm,” she turned to look at Ivy who shrugged and mouthed ‘dad?’ before spinning back to the door, “your dad, so we came to see if he was okay because he didn’t visit us yesterday.'' All three of them went quiet, only the sounds of the tv in the living room and Jason's shower in the apartment, as well as the quiet sniffling and hiccups of the boy on the other side of the door. There was no answer.
Selina stepped forward, smiling at harley before she spoke, “Hey, kitten, when you were going back to your room, you dropped your blanket,” Selina pulled up a corner to look at the poorly sewn in initials, “J.T-W.’ and smiled, “this blanket, it was your dad’s before, right?” 
A soft sniffle was heard. Selina sat down next to Harley, “Do you want it back? I swear I’ll just hand it to you, no tricks or anything.”
There was a moment's pause before the door creaked open just enough for the boy to look through with watery eyes. His hand signed through, ‘Promise?’ 
“Absolutely, yes, I promise. Here, see?” Selina held up the blanket to the boy, who quickly grabbed it and pulled it through the door. Selina smiled and pulled her hands to her lap, “nice to meet you, kitten. How are you?”
The boy wrapped the blanket around his shoulders and leaned against the doorframe, opening it a little more, ‘tired’ 
“Me too, I didn’t get much sleep last night.” the girls behind her giggled and she glared at them, the boy lifting his hand up.
‘Me too” the boy yawned.
“Did you stay up too late watching movies?” Harley asked with a smile.
He shook his head no, ‘Nightmares. But Jason helped.’ 
“Oh, he helped? What did the little mother cat do to help?” Selina said with a smile, leaning on her hand.
‘He made me tea, and held my hand, fell asleep with me.’ He wrapped his blanket around him tighter.
“Awe he’s so good at this! Jay has come so far! And, what’s your name, little nestling?” Harley asked with a smile, slowly reaching her hand forward to push the door open, waiting in case the boy pushed the door back shut. But he didn’t. He let her push the door open, and he sat down, the blanket wrapped tighter around his shoulders as if it was a shield from the girls. 
Ivy smiled and leaned against the wall, looking at the kid in the door, “It’s okay, I promise you. We’re just here, passing by.”
The boy looked up, scanning all three of them to see if they’re lying to him, but didn’t see anything, so he lifted his hands up ‘D. A. N. N. Y.”
“Lovely to meet you Danny. Are you hungry?” Ivy asked, smiling to Danny, who nodded at the floor.
“Well then pumpkin, let’s get you somethin’ to eat!” Harley said, jumping up, smiling, slowly reaching a hand down to Danny to hold. He looked at her and smiled, nodding, grabbing her hand and being pulled up, wincing at the stretch on his nearly healed stitches.
“Are you okay there, kitten? Are you hurt?” Danny looked up at her and nodded, rubbing his chest before quickly lifting his hand up to sign, his ears flipping down and his eyes going wide, ‘not Jason's fault! Jason helped’
The three girls looked at each other and smiled, “Of course he wouldn’t honeybunch, Jason is the sweetest happiest guy I know, I'm glad he helped you out!” Harley smiled and squeezed Danny's hand twice, Danny smiled in recognition and squeezed her hand twice.
They walked into the kitchen and Harley glanced down to Danny for permission before picking him up by the armpits, sitting him down on the kitchen counter and spinning around to the fridge, where Ivy was already looking through. Selina leaned against the counter and smiled at him, running her fingers through his hair.
“Kinda choppy, yeah? Did Jay cut it?” Danny nodded, smiling, “oh I can tell, it kinda sucks doesn’t it?” Danny's shoulders shook in a silent faux laughter, his fangs showing off in a not-so-human grin, Selina laughed alongside him.
“So, sweetums, what are ya hungry for?” Harley said, giving him some buttered toast to hold him over until the breakfast was done. 
Danny held the toast out to Selina, ‘Can’t have a lot of solid food, throat’s hurt too’ 
Ivy smiled and looked towards Danny, “So what are you thinking then?”
Danny looked off in the distance for a minute before he smiled ‘Eggs! And… yogurt.’ He kicked his legs.
“Sure thing cupcake!” Harley ruffled his hair and spun around to the stove, cracking some eggs and adding just a little cheese, not to hurt his throat. Ivy opened the fridge and grabbed a milk carton, pouring a small glass for Danny, who drank it greedily- must have been really thirsty crying from the nightmares. Ivy spun around from the fridge with a small cup of yogurt and a small spoon that Jason definitely did not have last time they came.
The sound of a man chuckling tore them all from their little trance they were in, and Danny spun around to look at Jason, smiling cheekily up at him with yogurt around his mouth. Jason brought his hand up and wiped Danny's mouth with his hand, wiping it on his pants and walking around to the other side of the counter where he jumped up to sit on the other side of Danny.
“So, why is there a new show on my Tv and you guys in my kitchen, making breakfast?” Jason asked, smiling fondly down at Danny.
“Well I don’t know ragamuffin, why do we come here to check on you and find you have a kitten of your own?” Selina said teasingly, running her fingers through Danny’s hair.
Jason sighed and hung his head, chuckling again and looking up, “that’s a long story, now how did you get Danny to trust you so fast?”
Harley spun around fast with a small plate of cheesy scrambled eggs in her hands, walking over to Danny and placing it in his lap, “We actually scared him first, but we were able to explain how we know you and all that jazz and he trusted us!” She said with an overly cheery smile.
Jason smirked and turned to Danny, “and what’s the real reason you trusted them?”
Danny smiled and lifted his hand, ‘they’re in your apartment, they’re comfortable, and they haven’t been shot, so you definitely like them.’ He nodded, reached his hand down, grabbed the small fork and started eating the eggs, a little hot but they felt nice in his throat.
“Well A for analysis, kid.” Jason said with a puff of laughter 
Selina chuckled and used her nails to scratch Danny’s head, a smile making its way to his face, “he’s definitely yours, ragamuffin.”
Ivy stilled where she stood in front of the stove, spinning around to face the others, “Wait, is he? Is he, yours, yours?” 
Jason paled at his spot on the counter, “No no no! At least I don’t think so, er, not that I know of no.” He blushed and looked off to the corner of the room, the girls (and Danny, the traitor) giggling at him.
Harley spun around in a buff Santa apron- where did she even get that?- hands full of plates, “alrighty then loves! Time for breakfast, where should we sit?”
They eventually all decided on the living room to keep watching that new show Harley put on.
“So, kitten, what do you like most?” Selina asked, smiling down at the boy in between her and Jason on the loveseat.
He looked up at her questioningly, she chuckled and set her plate down on the small table in front of the couch, “like your interests, stuff like that.” 
Danny made an o shape with his mouth and lifted his hand ‘Space! I really like space. I think zombies are cool, too,’ which made Ivy have to stifle a laugh that Jason playfully flipped her off for, ‘and aliens, I really want to meet an alien.”
“That’s pretty cool Danny. I’m, personally, into plants and all of that type of stuff. Harls loves binging shows, like this one. Have you seen it before?” Ivy said, smiling and leaning back in the single lazy-boy she and Harley were sharing. 
‘Nope, not yet. Is it good?’ Danny signed.
“I sure hope so!” Harley cheered. They all sat in silence for a while, both Selina and Jason slapping their hands over Danny’s eyes during specific.. scenes. Not that he minded, it was sweet they wanted to contribute to his proper consumption of media, even if he was completely ruined already. They were all broken from their trance by a knock at the door.
“Expecting someone?” Selina asked. Jason looked over and shook his head no. He looked down at danny and made a shushing motion with his hand, reaching underneath a side table for a pistol taped to the bottom, lifting the other to sign, ‘whatever you do, stay quiet and out of sight, if you need to leave with the girls do that and I’ll meet up with you later, okay?’
Danny nodded back and put his finger to his lips imitating what Jason did earlier. Jason cocked the gun and stalked to the door, staying low to the ground and near silent. He stood up to look through the peephole, letting out a soft grunt as he couldn’t see who was on the other side, he slowly unlocked the door before flinging it open and immediately pressing the gun to the forehead of a man at the door holding a package.
“Damn it Dick, why didn’t you tell me you were coming over?” Jason sighed, lowering the gun from his older brother's head and dropping it on a small table he kept at the front of the house. “Fuck are you even here for?”
“Is it too much to say I was worried about my little bro?” Dick said with a smile, completely unphased by Jasons gun.
“Yes, piss off.” Jason said with a sigh.
“I just wanted to check on you, you’ve been acting weird and I wanted to make sure you were okay.” Dick said in a concerned tone. 
Harley chose that moment to jump over the couch and jog over to the two, “I know right? First Jay says he's making his little patrol circle smaller, then, he goes and skips out on girls night!” Harley puffed air from her mouth and a strand of hair flew up dramatically, “Don’t you worry about it Dickie, the girls and I are checking up on him though, and you!” Harley poked a nail to Dicks chest, “are interrupting our mani-pedis! So,” she reached out and pulled the large box from Dick and held it in her arms, “I’m gonna take this, and I’m gonna make sure big bird here is doing alright, alrighty?”
Jason just sighed and hung his head, “you satisfied yet, Dickie-bird?” Jason asked, tilting his head up and showing off a small smile to his older brother.
Dick, bit his lip and looked him over for a second before nodding, “yeah, yeah alright you’re good. Just make sure to call me if you need anything, okay?”
“Yeah, I will.” Jason said, slowly closing the door on Dick until his hand stuck in the door.
“You promise Little wing?” 
“Yeah, I promise Dickie.” Jason huffed and finished closing the door after Dicks lingering hand slipped from the door, his footsteps receding in the hall. Jason spun around and walked back into the living room, seeing everyone staring at him. “... What?”
The girls and Danny started giggling, all four of them laid out in a circle on the floor, different nail polishes set up while the TV played a movie that recently came out. Jason rolled his eyes and sat down with them, picking up a black and shaking it hard before lifting it up to see the color in the light better. Selina pulled it from his hands and smiled, “Oh no Ragamuffin, we’ve got a plan for you, you just watch the movie.”
“Yeah! We’ll take care of your nails and you just sit there!” Harley said giggling.
“Well what am I supposed to do?” Jason asked, Danny just tapped him and thrusted his hands forward with a blue/green shimmer nail polish in his hands, a small clip pinching his sensitive nose closed. Jason smiled and picked up the polish, “alrighty then kiddo, let’s get these nails done.”
It took about an hour and a half for everyone's nails to get done, Jason struggling between using his left and right hands to paint Danny's fingernails while the girls did his. In the end, Danny smiled big- a little too big- at his nails, holding them up to Jason's heavily decorated nails. The girls went all out on Jason's nails, all black with his pointer and middle finger red, the black nails with silver skull and flower decals and his red nails with lines and numbers painted on them to look like bullets. Jason held them up next to Danny's and posed for a picture with him.
Danny carefully signed to Jason, ‘is this what happens every girls night?’ 
“Yes of course! But this big dummy here,” Harley leaned on Jason's shoulder, “always messes them up during patrol!” she finished with a giggle, before realizing what she said and stilling in place, the two other girls also going ridgid. 
Danny just smiled, ‘it’s okay, I know He’s Red Hood.’ each of the girls let out a puff of breath.
“Wait, did he tell you who we are? Or, anyone else?” Ivy asked, concerned.
Danny shook his head side-to-side, ‘nope. Well, it's obvious you’re Poison Ivy and, obviously,  Harley Quinn, but I'm not sure who Selina is.’
“Oh, well I'm Catwoman, but you can just call me Selina.” She said with a smile.
Danny beamed and leaned forward, ‘you’re catwoman?! The burglar?!’ 
“Cat-burglar, but yes that’s me.” Selina said, happy to see such a small kid so excited to meet her.
‘That’s so cool! What's the prettiest thing you’ve stolen?’ Danny said, starting up a game of 20 questions with Selina, while Ivy tugged on Jason’s arm to talk to him in the other room. Danny could most definitely hear them, but it was the thought that counted- not to mention that Danny was too interested in the story about Bruce Wayne’s mother’s pearl necklace that Selina still has to this day- than eavesdropping on Jason and Ivy.
“So,” Ivy tucked herself inside the kitchen and faced Jason with worry, “He’s cold. Really cold. He has long pointed ears and his eyes can become slits, his chest vibrates and- He’s just… He’s not…“
“Your business.” Jason said with certainty, “I’m taking care of him, I’ve worked with Danny on trust and keeping him healthy and feeling good. Ivy I love you and I love hanging out with you, thank you for your concern but I’m taking care of him. When he first got here he was…” Jason furrowed his eyebrows and clenched his fist, “Not in a good condition. I don’t mean to be rude and I’m sorry if I’m coming off that way but whether or not he’s human is neither of our businesses, just so long as I can take care of him and give him someplace he doesn’t have to be scared-” Jason got cut off with a hand on his shoulder.
“Jason. I may not understand how exactly you feel like that when it comes to human- or nonhuman- children, but I know the idea. Don’t worry Jay, I just want to make sure my friends are okay. Tell us if you need anything when it comes to Danny, you know we have your back.” 
Jason let out a breath and hung his head, “I’m sorry I got defensive.”
Harley, who apparently came into the kitchen when Jason wasn’t watching, let out a huff, “Well of course you did! Someone else was butting in on the way you’re parenting your kid and not in a nice way- sorry Ives- and you wanted to defend your kid!” Harley leaned to her tippy toes and patted Jason's head, ignoring his very flushed face and walking back into the living room, jumping back into the conversation with Selina and Danny.
Ivy smiled softly, “I’m happy you found someone to make you happy. I used to think you needed to settle down with Roy or Artemis, but finding a kid and giving him your home is what really made you happy. Huh. Don’t worry, you’re nothing like Bruce was, you’re better already.”

snow angels
Tumblr media Tumblr media
— casts: jason todd x reader, aurora todd (my kid oc)
— words: 1,515
— tags: fluff, winter, family fic, family fluff, kid fic
— summary: It's Aurora Todd first winter and you two decide she should experience the ultimate first time under the snow: building some snowmen and one or two castles. And apparently also snow angels along the way.
Tumblr media
Heavy snowfall from yesterday—that kept everyone inside the house all day long—resulted in a thick layer of snow in the backyard. You, Jason, and your fourteen months old daughter, Aurora, included. You two even built her a blanket fortress from the pile of her soft baby blankets. She was very fond of it.
Today, Jason and you decide to bring her outside. 
It's her first winter, thus the first time she will experience the snowfall that blanketed the city like icing sugar dusted on a beignet.
Earlier, Jason had shoveled the snow that piled up in front of the front and back door. Thankfully, it wasn't blocking the doors that bad or else you'd feel bad about not helping him—even though he had insisted on doing it himself because she was cranky waking up and you'd have to feed her.
Now, though, your daughter is so awake and definitely not cranky anymore.
Jason has put his shovel back to the garage and changed his clothes to newer one—he had managed to sweat and drenched his sweater, and he's currently sporting a new sweater that matches the ones that you and your daughter wear.
“Papa.”
You put Aurora on her colorful foam puzzle mat. Jason, who is just getting out of your bedroom, smiling when he spots her.
“Who's going to play with snow today?”
Jason sits down on the edge of the mat and he beckons his daughter to his lap.
Aurora enthusiastically walks toward him—with her brand new baby boots that you just put on her, a big smile with her four small teeth showing.
“Nou.”
She perches her little legs on one of his thighs. You gasp and cannot help but grin. Did she just say a new word just now? Nou. Snow.
Jason beams. You can see his eyes shine with proudness.
“Yeah, snow. Snow! You, Mama, and Papa will go outside and we can build some snow castles and snowmen. Now, you need to wear these warm mittens first, okay?”
You observe the two loves of your life while packing a little thermos of jasmine tea to drink outside. These two always without fail put a smile on your face.
And oh, Jason is wearing gloves with the same color theme too because, of course, he would not want to be excluded in the matching outfits shenanigans of you and your daughter. We've to match as a cute little family, Jason had said so almost a year ago—after for the third time you and Aurora had matching outfits and he was being excluded; which in your defense, most husbands don't really care about matching outfits with their baby daughter, but you learnt it wasn't the case with Jason.
Jason tugs Aurora's mittens to make sure it's right before holding her in his arms and standing up, walking towards you who stands beside the dining table.
“Come on, Mama.” He squishes his cheek on Aurora's, whispering to pretend as if it's your daughter who’s saying that.
Aurora giggles. “Mama, mama.”
You bend down a little to kiss her rosy cheeks—and Jason steals a kiss from you when you stand straight after that—and the three of you are ready to mess with snow.
Tumblr media
Jason has finished building one snow castle just now. It's a cool snow castle, in your opinion—considering he's only using some plastic snow toys for kids that you got for Aurora.
The kid in question sits on your lap, and is currently playing with the scallop shell plastic mold and making her nth crooked shell shaped snows with so much interest, completely oblivious to what her dad has been doing.
“Rora, look!” You pat her tiny leg gently. “Look. Papa has built you a little snow castle!”
You point your finger at the 1 meter tall snow figure. When Aurora looks up from her stuff, her eyes brighten and she moves her arms and legs excitedly, wiggling and trying to stand up from your lap.
You help her stand on her own little feet, her tiny boots scrunch the snow.
“Papa. Nou.”
Jason—who just put a twig on the center of the castle as a fake flag—grins. He waved his hands, beckoning her to walk towards him and the snow castle.
“Papa, papa.”
Aurora walks giddily.
You walk at a snail's pace to ensure that she steps safely, because you know sometimes babies and toddlers can be quite clumsy, and your daughter is no exception.
Aurora is two meters before landing herself in his dad's arm when, instead, she's landing backwards on a pile of fluffy snow with a very dull thud.
“Rora!”
Jason and you immediately shout at the same time and in less than two seconds both of you are in front of her.
Aurora is silent for a second, that you are almost panicking, but then she bursts into a fit of giggles. She moves her arms and legs in ups and downs motion, unknowingly making herself a snow angel.
“Mama, Papa.”
Aurora waves her mittens clad tiny hands. She wants you two to do what she's doing.
“Well, I guess we're making snow angels too.” 
“I know. I am just glad she isn't crying.”
You release your breath you know you were holding.
You lie down beside your daughter on one side and Jason on her other side and you two proceed to make your own snow angels.
After it is quite deep, Jason gets up from where he's lying down and takes some photos of you and Aurora with his phone and instant camera he hides inside his deep coat pockets.
“One, two, three. Smile!”
And so, the next ten minutes, Jason takes a lot of photos of you and Aurora in front of the snow castle.
Tumblr media
“These are so cute.”
It's 8:30 pm. You and Jason just put Aurora to sleep in her room, you're lying on bed with your head propped on a pillow and Jason's shoulder.
You scroll on Jason's gallery, currently landing on the selfie of you, Jason, and little Aurora in front of the snow castle and the two snowmen on each side of the castle—snowmen that later the three of you built after snow angels' antics. The snowmen are guards, Jason had said.
Jason's shuffling and looking at the printed photos he (and you) took with the instant camera, while occasionally brushing your raven black hair that fans the pillow.
“Lovely snow angels.” Jason mutters.
You laugh. You immediately scroll towards one picture of the three of you as snow angels. “Yeah, that one was cute too. It's fortunate that you brought your tripod outside so we could take a photo with the three of us as snow angels.”
“I meant this.”
Jason shows you one printed photo from the instant camera.
“Oh.”
It is a photo of you and Aurora as snow angels, the sunlight reflecting on the snow and bouncing a very faint light on your smiling faces.
“That’s…” You almost can't say a thing. “So beautiful.”
“I know.”
“You're very talented, Jason.” You look up and give him a soft smile.
“It's not as much talent as what's the subject of the photography.”
“Hey.” You can't help but chide him.
“It's true.”
“It's not.”
“It is.” Jason says with a finality. He puts all—the photos except the one on your hand—on the nightstand beside him.
“Both of you are just the loveliest snow angels. My literal angels.”
“Oh, Jason…”
“My only angels. You and Aurora.”
That's it.
You drag his face towards you with one of your hands behind his neck. You kiss him deeply and slowly. You can feel his pulse beneath your fingers and run your hand up and down his nape.
Jason shudders and he kisses you deeper, if it's possible, and you let out a small moan.
Jason shudders and he kisses you deeper, if it's possible, and you let out a small moan.
At last, you separate your faces from each other to inhale some air.
“Jason, I love you so much.” You caress his jawline, looking at his perfect shade of viridian eyes.
“I love you more.” He looks at you as fondly. Sometimes it's hard to breathe everytime he does that.
“I love you more and more.”
“I love you–”
And that's where you two hear a cry from Aurora's room. She's awake.
“I think trying to tell us she's agreed that I love you more.” Jason snickers.
You huff, moving your body to get up from the bed. “She's trying to tell us she wants to co-sleep with us again tonight.”
“That's fair too. Still, I love you more and more and more, though.”
“It’s me, actually, but I will let you win.”
You almost land your feet on the floor when Jason immediately stands up.
“Let me get her or I love you more and more and more.”
You can't believe your husband's antics but you smile ear to ear nonetheless.
“Fair. Go get her, Papabear.”
“On it, Mamabear.”
Jason shouts I love you more and more and more when he's in another room with Aurora's “Papa” accompanying it.

Prompt:
Instead of Dick or Tim, Red Hood straight up goes for kidnapping Bruce Wayne and keeping him hostage just to see how desperate the birds get in trying to find him.
It’s a foolproof plan. Batman won’t blow his cover unless absolutely necessary, and “Brucie” would never know how to slip away from a crime lord of Red Hood’s caliber. It’s foolproof. It’s perfect. Jason can keep dropping hints and make threats towards the birds and watch Bruce squirm without consequences if he plays this right.
But then “Brucie” keeps begging him not to hurt his kids…

Batkids calling Bruce when they need him.
Dick gets arrested for underage drinking call my dad now he's not in the slightest scared but he wants his dad. Bruce who already got bail done and is wrapping Dick in a blanket.
Jason crashes a car already on the phone with Bruce who is speeding to him.
Tim is falling asleep at the office and wants to go home dad please pick me up. Waking up tucked in Bruce's bed.
Damian gets in a fight at school you call my father right now. He suspended but Bruce hugs him on the way out.
Cass standing face to face with David Cain the man who should have been her father but isn't but before she can scream for Bruce she's wrapped in his cape.
Duke calling Bruce because the kids at school have never been nice to a kid from the wrong side of the tracks and getting ice cream just because.
Stephanie just calling Bruce to talk knowing no matter how busy he is there will be time for her.
Babs who even though Jim Gordon is a great man after a nightmare about the joker only wants one man. Bruce running in the middle of the night to her door. Wrapping his batgirl in his arms.
Kids who aren't afraid to call Dad. He wont be mad he wants them to call. To know he will drop everything to get to his boys, or his girls. Scared birds shouting for the big bad bat and he comes running.
