Clockwork watches as the scenes unfold from the screen in front of him, a fond smile on his face.
He chuckles at the awkward farewell young Danny leaves one of Gotham’s Knights with.
However, as his gaze turns to one of the other screens, his expression switches from amused fondness to one of contemplation.
As he watches the recently deceased manic clown cackle his head off at the revelation of his newly ghostly existence, Clockwork can do no more than let out a weary sigh.
As much as he would like to interfere so young Danny would not have to deal with this endeavor, alas, he is not allowed.
Regardless, he muses, Danny will be able to handle it quite well on his own. Clockwork has complete confidence in him, as he gazes at the many timelines that may yet come to pass.
It will all work out in the end...

After taking some deep breaths to calm himself somewhat, Jason puts his glove back on before getting back on his motorcycle and leaving the apartment building behind.
He should probably use the rest of the night to sleep, as it’s already quite late.
However, not too long after he leaves he starts feeling eyes on him. He's being watched, and he has a pretty good guess of just who it could be...
And that guess is confirmed when he sees the shadows moving across the rooftops.
Of course, they followed the tracker to find out what he's up to even after he told them not to follow
He lets out an irritated sigh as he revs the engine and makes his motorcycle pick up more speed. At this point he’s most likely going way over the speed limit but, it’s Gotham, so no one’s gonna care.
At least they only just found him and started following him, rather than when he was still with Danny. Small mercies…
Though, he notes with mild curiosity, interestingly enough Replacement doesn’t seem to be with them.
Jason decides not to jinx his luck by questioning it, for now. Tim’s probably just overworking himself on a case again while doped up on so much of his awful Red Bull, Monster, and coffee mixture monstrosity that he should’ve had a caffeine overdose by now 3 times over.
Either way, Jason’s so not in the mood for their questions
Jason wants to keep his family as far away from Danny as possible, for as long as he can. And not just because of their not date, but he wants to help Danny keep people off his back about the murder of the Joker.
While, as he has mentioned to Danny before, most people will probably celebrate his death more than anything, he wants to spare Danny from B’s disappointment and his 5 hour long morals speech at the very least.
At that point, Jason decides to try to throw his stalkers off by making some unexpected, sharp turns and using a lot of alleys. He avoids the cameras and makes a point to also disable the cam and tracker the Bats ‘sneakily’ left in his helmet, again.
…
After spelling out ‘Fuck off’ with the tracker’s path on the map.
Luckily for him, Jason has just made it to Crime Alley, which is his turf. He knows his way around better than the furry brigade that's still following him does and he’ll gladly use this to his advantage.
With a small grumble that's muffled due to his helmet, he decides to try another more blunt method to try and dissuade them from following him.
Or, at the very least, distract them so that he has an easier time getting away.

0 days without the Joker breaking out of Arkham
OGnerd: Stop stalking me.
BatDad: Don’t text and drive.
OGnerd: It's speech to text. Dumbass.
Discowing: Jason!! 😃 What’s up, Little Wing? 🐦 Sooo, why didn’t you patrol tonight?? 👀
OGnerd: That's none of your business dick wad. Fuck off.
OGnerd: What part of don’t follow me did you not understand.
Discowing: I just wanted to catch up with my little brother!! 😁 Is that too much to ask? 🥺

TheHotOne: no <3
OGnerd: I was just following up on a lead on a case I’ve been working on.
OGnerd: Besides, shouldn’t you all be focusing on finding that clown freak instead of stalking me after I explicitly said not to.
Omnipotent: Do you buy flowers for all of your ‘leads’ or are those just for the cute ones? 🤨
Discowing: Oh!!!! 😲 He got them flowers?? 🌼 That’s so cute! 🥰 I didn’t take you for such a romantic, Jay 😉
BloodSon: Considering Todd’s reading material it should not have come as much of a surprise, Richard.
BatDad: Red Hood, what do you know about the disappearance of the Joker?
BatDad: Is the person you were meeting with involved?
OGnerd: Nothing and no. Now leave me alone.
OGnerd: Middle finger emoji.
~ OGnerd changed the name of BatDad to WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl ~
~ OGnerd locked the name of WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl ~
WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl: Red Hood, this is extremely immature.
WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl: Change my name back and come to the cave for a meeting, now.
WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl: That was a misunderstanding and you know it.

Jason turns his phone back off and mutes the chat once again. He managed to throw them off of his trail a bit ago and just now reached his apartment.
They know where he lives, yes, but it seems that they had finally noticed how not in the mood he was and decided to make the smart decision to give up and leave him the hell alone. For now at least…
Jason wouldn’t be surprised if they showed up at his apartment tomorrow anyway. But the metal baseball bat by the door and the gun in his holster should help.
After getting inside he changes out of his clothes and takes his time taking a shower. After getting out, drying off, and putting on something comfortable he practically collapses onto the couch.
His eyes fall onto the faded number sequence still scribbled on his hand. With a small smile on his face, while thinking of the person who wrote it, he takes his phone back out again and makes a new contact.
While he’d love to call it some sappy shit like ‘Danny <3’, he knows his family and it has enough hackers in it that he’d rather make the contact name a bit less obviously stand out.
It takes a while, but after thinking back on Danny’s space rambles earlier that evening in the observatory, Jason settles on a contact name.
He names it Nova, after a supernova.
He doesn’t know how right he is.

I've been quiet for a bit, but here's my contribution for 10/10 day! Only... a few days late.
[ Image Description: A row of five chibi illustrations of the five members from the k-pop android group 1010. All five are positioned in 3/4 (three quarters) view, half-curled up with their knees close to their chests, the downstage arm fully extended on the outside of the downstage leg. They all also have assorted flowers behind them, forming a ring around each one, and all have two flowers positioned between their ankles and another flower tucked behind their downstage ear. All five illustrations are formatted to resemble a keychain charm, with doodles in white of potential keychain rings in different shapes above them. All have rich color schemes.
Eloni / Green is listed first. He is facing 3/4 (three quarters) to the right. He has an assortment of green orchids and green zinnia outlining him. His upstage arm is raised at the elbow in a half-wave. He has a downturn expression, though not outwardly sad. His eyes are looking to the top left corner of the screen. His potential charm ring is in the shape of a flower. The color behind him is a very pastel green with thin white stripes running at a diagonal angle, tilted with the lines leading down and to the right if viewed from left to right. A green zinnia is tucked behind his downstage ear.
Purl-hew / Blue is listed second. He is facing 3/4 (three quarters) to the left. He has an assortment of butterfly pea and hydrangea outlining him. His upstage arm is raised at the elbow and making a heart with his pointer finger and thumb, reminiscent of a hand gesture some members of real life K-pop groups will do. A small heart outlined in light blue with a dark blue center is above these two fingers. He is smiling softly. His eyes are looking to the top right corner of the screen, though this is partially obscured by his sunglasses. His potential charm ring is in the shape of a crescent moon. The color behind him is a very pastel blue with thin white stripes running at a diagonal angle, tilted with the lines leading down and to the right if viewed from left to right. A blue bit of hydrangea is tucked behind his downstage ear.
Rin / White is listed third. He is facing 3/4 (three quarters) to the right. He has an assortment of white tulips and white hemlock outlining him. His upstage arm is raised at the elbow and the hand is positioned beneath his chin to emphasize his expression. He is smiling sweetly, eyes narrowed slightly. His eyes are looking to the top left corner of the screen. His potential charm ring is in the shape of a star. The color behind him is a very pastel purple with thin white stripes running at a diagonal angle, tilted with the lines leading down and to the right if viewed from left to right. A white bit of white hemlock is tucked behind his downstage and upstage ear. He is the only one with flowers tucked behind both ears.
Haym / Yellow is listed fourth. He is facing 3/4 (three quarters) to the right. He has an assortment of sunflowers and marigolds outlining him. His upstage arm is raised at the elbow and the hand is seemingly flipping off the camera. There is a heart with a light yellow outline and dark orange center covering the finger, however. He is beaming, potentially excited. His eyes are looking to the top left corner of the screen. His potential charm ring is in the shape of a heart. The color behind him is a very pastel yellow with thin white stripes running at a diagonal angle, tilted with the lines leading down and to the right if viewed from left to right. A marigold is tucked behind his downstage ear.
Zimelu / Red is listed fifth, the last one. He is facing 3/4 (three quarters) to the left. He has an assortment of roses and red dahlia outlining him. His upstage arm is raised at the elbow and the hand is holding open his mouth to expose his teeth. Said teeth are triangular, sharp. His expression is mischievous, teeth barred and brows furrowed. His eyes are looking to the top right corner of the screen. His potential charm ring is in the shape of a bat. The color behind him is a very pastel red with thin white stripes running at a diagonal angle, tilted with the lines leading down and to the right if viewed from left to right. A red dahlia is tucked behind his downstage ear.
All five charms are on a dark blue background with lighter blue stripes on a diagonal angle running down and to the right if viewed from left to right, to distantly resemble a metallic sheen. There are three stripes of color laying behind the illustrations but above the dark background. All three have a gradient of the same pastel green, blue, purple, yellow, and red that are behind the chibis. Only the middle has the same white lines at the same diagonal angle. The top one is medium in width, running behind the shapes of the charm rings. The middle one is the widest, taking up most of the screen and running behind the illustrations, slightly wider than they are tall. The bottom is the thinnest, a third of the width of the top line.

I've been working hard on getting these designs ready! They're all based off of the talk of bots and hanahaki me and a few others had around here :)
And if you'd like to see any of these designs made into charms, I've got an interest check running down below!

How about a reader who has deadly plushie bomb like Amber's Baron Bunny (A character from Genshin Impact)
Can you imagine if one of the links accidentally setting off the bomb plushie (if they didn't know the plushie had a bomb in there)
*Okay so I don't actually know anything about Genshin Impact so just gonna take Bomb Plushie and run with it lol!
Also I just went with that it's a bunny plushie because again I don't know anything about Genshin Impact or the Character.
Totally also not because I think it would be absolutely hilarious if Reader had a deadly pink bunny plushie
Also, sorry if Wind maybe seems out of character at the start! Since he’s getting into that teenager stage and maybe even from influence of Tetra’s crew, I somewhat headcannon him as trying to appear more ‘manly’ and mature the whole:
‘I don’t do ___ anymore because I’m a man now’ shtick
But he secretly still does/wants to
(Also, I'm trying out some dividers! let me know what y'all think of them!)*
Reader With A Plushie Bomb!
Wind stared at the pink plushie with a raised brow and a hint of perplexation in his eyes.
He knew Reader had told him not to touch it whatsoever and he responded with a little scoff of how he was far too old and manly to play with toys anymore.
but... it's warm, fluffly, pink fur just looked so inviting...
He had to touch it, just once he told himself and that was it!
Reaching out his fingers just barely grazed the silky fur of the plushie before it was taken away and Wind gaped in surprise.
Wild looked down at the toy curiously, turning it about as he smoothed the plush fur of the toy.
“This is a lot softer than Riju’s seal plushies, I’d love to have one.”
Wind snatched the toy out of the older man’s hands, first marveling at its softness before speaking up.
“Y-You’d actually want one of these? But I mean…” His words grew softer as if he wished for no one else to hear what he spoke of next.
“They’re toys though it’s not… manly right? I-It’s little kids stuff.”
The Champion just gave a small shake of his head with a bit of a smile present on his face, a chuckle breaking the silence.
"The Old man has said you can still be a kid at heart and be grown up at the same time? And besides as far as I'm concerned, if I want something I'm going to get it even if that something is seen as being 'childish'."
The young teen let out a soft sound, turning his attention back to the plushie within his hands he turned it around, admiring the cute dark pink bow that went well with its pink fur and long floppy ears where tufts of white resided to resemble the ears of a real rabbit.
"I think Aryll would like something like this... she always made me play dolls with her when we were younger."
His mind flashed with memories: Aryll forcing one of her dollies into his hand while she held the other, her voice becoming higher in pitch as she talked through her doll before returning to her normal with a small glare towards him until he begrudgingly began to play along, high-pitched voice and all.
Back then he had been slightly annoyed at the time but now? Right now he'd give anything to be back home playing with his little sister even if it was dolls.
"...I think I can agree with you about wanting one of these now, the bow feels so smooth too."
Wind rubbed at the silky bow around the toy's neck, Wild smiled at that and nodded, agreeing as he brought his scarred hand to feel the bow as well.
The soft sounds of the open plain surrounded them as they simply sat in the pleasant sounds of nature: the slight whooshing of the small breezes that swept their hair, the rustling of distant trees as said breeze swayed their branches full of leaves, the ticking sound from the...
The duo's ears twitched.
A ticking sound? Why was there a ticking sound all of a sudden?
A thick southern accent sounded behind them as the rancher of the group came closer with the others in tow, curious and perplexed looks upon their face at his actions until they too got close enough to hear the strange sound.
"How're ya makin' it do that tickin' noise?"
Twilight leaned over Wind due to his height, taking a closer look at the toy.
"Sounds like one of 'em fancy clocks they got up in Castle Town. Real cute though ain't it Legend?"
"Don't you start dog breath."
Legend rolled his eyes as Twilight barked out a laugh, even their resident Skyloftian seemed to be having a bit of a chuckle himself at the clear resemblance between the fluffy pink bunny toy and Legend's other form.
"Is that noise getting faster?"
Four noted, raising a brow as the mechanical sound did seem to be gaining in speed.
"I think it is. You know it's almost like it's counting down to something."
Hyrule added in as he marveled at the toy having never really seen many things like it within his own Hyrule.
Suddenly something seemed to click in the eldest of the group's mind as his one good eye widened and he let out a shout of warning.
"Everyone down now!"
Grabbing the toy, Time threw it as far away he could before taking cover with the rest behind his shield. Everyone was on-guard now.
The toy hit a patch of grass, landing just shy of a nearby tree, laying there harmless and innocent in all of it's fluffy pink glory yet none of the group made to move from their defensive position.
"What was wrong with it?"
Time didn't even turn, he knew it was Wars who had asked the question, likely with his own keen eyes never once leaving the toy just like Time was doing.
Call it instinct but Time was familiar with such mechanisms within things that looked like they could have been toys. That ticking sound reminded him of a tool he had used back when he was a child stuck in that dreaded three-day time loop.
"It sounded like it was a-"
A loud deafening boom had everyone's eyes going wide like saucers as the charming little pink toy rabbit was spread apart the area like one of Wild's Korok puzzles.
And the tree that stood idle by the once put together toy?
Well, it simply wasn't there, only a dark and charred impact area was in its place with fiery splintered wood all about.
A shiver racked through Legend as he stared at what could only have been the pink rabbit's head, now charred with its pink fur looking gooey and melted rather than fluffy.
Yeah, this would definitely be haunting him at night.
"It was a bomb?! HOLY FU-"
"Language."
Wind's near curse was put on pause as three sets of eyes, well two sets and one eye really, were watching him with stern looks. Of course, these eyes belonged to none other than the resident mother hens of their little group: Time, Twilight, and Sky.
Pouting, the sailor kicked a rock, grumbling to himself softly about how he "was old enough to swear now" and "it was a bomb disguised as a toy, that deserves a swear".
"Such craftmanship, I wonder how it was even made. To have something so delicate as a bomb be hidden within a toy that one could throw around yet only detonate when its bow was touched?"
Their resident smithy was off mumbling to himself as he marveled and pondered how such a thing was possible, clearly, he wanted to meet the maker and question them heavily.
"I think what we should really be focusing on is if this was a surprise attack from the shadow or other enemies like the Yiga. We are in your world after all Champion, have they done this sort of thing before?"
With his mind set in captain mode, Wars was going through all the negative scenarios about this; thinking that the toy must have either swapped out for the real thing to harm one of them or, goddesses forbid, their dear companion.
"No never, all they've really been capable of is disguising themselves as travelers. Something like this is out of their league."
A hurried set of footsteps sounded behind them, a panting voice coming out soon after.
"Hey what's going on?! I heard an explosion and-"
(Name)'s voice trailed off as they took in the scene: the bits of burnt pink and the boys' cautious behavior as Twilight pulled them in to the group huddle while Sky wrapped a protective arm around their shoulders.
"It is good that you're here, we think the Shadow or another enemy of ours set a trap for you. Don't worry, while you travel with us we'll-"
Sky's hushed attempt at soothing words was cut short.
"Which one of you didn't listen about not touching my stuffed bunny? I told you guys to not go around touching my things! At least one of you was able to realize the danger before disaster struck! For heaven's sake, it was a bomb you guys!"
A quiet hush fell over the group; wide eyes looking towards each other, over to the decimated area where the remains of the toy lay, and finally turning to look at their dear companion who glared down at them with what could only be described as the look a parent would give to their child when caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
Then the group had an explosion of their own.
"What-you made it?!"
"You knew it was a bomb?!"
"What do you mean it was a bomb? I'VE SEEN YOU SLEEP WITH THAT THING!!"
Cries of shock and surprise filling the air while a few members only let out sighs of relief that this wasn't an attack from some outside source.
Meanwhile, (Name) just stared back, shrugging their shoulders nonchalantly as if this were just another Tuesday afternoon and they hadn't built a toy bunny with an explosive device capable of disposing a small building stuffed within it.
"As if it's hard, I've been building stuff like this for ages now and besides who says a bomb can't also be cuddly and cute."
Time rubbed the bridge of his nose, a heavy sigh leaving his lips as he stood. Placing his hand upon their companion's shoulder he gave them a pleading yet stern look.
"(Name)... no more toy bombs and tell us before making any more surprises like this."
(Name) whined, throwing their hands up into the air whilst gesturing to Wild.
"What? He gets to have his fun bombs why can't I?"
"No. Just... no, no more bombs."
Anyways obviously the whole group is going to collectively decide that while this plushie of Reader's can be an incredible advantage in battle/within a dungeon I think they would try to get Reader to not be making things like that or being around something so dangerous in the first place (especially if we're looking at a yandere chain)
But I definitely think Four would be ambushing Reader with questions about the mechanics and just how they had made it work, he NEEDS ANSWERS!! Wars is also wondering about how such a thing was made, though don't be fooled. He won't be letting Reader near anything that they could make a bomb out of. But it is comforting to know that in a pinch Reader can be quite the ingenuitive inventor.
Wind is cooking up schemes out the wazzo okay, he's the one ya gotta look out for because he WILL be stealing them, and he WILL be using them for his nefarious pranks (whether those be against monsters or other members of the chain is up to fate).
Wild's expecting his plushie at the end of the week, no if's and's or but's. He wants one and it better be as fluffy as the one that blew up. (Wind may or may not be hinting for one himself, eventually he'll force himself to outright ask for one)
Sky, Twilight, Time, and even Hyrule are all in the category of 'I don't care how cute it was and how much you whine about it. Ya ain't getting another one!' They're putting their foot down, no more bomb plushies and especially no cuddling bombs at night!
(cuddle one of them instead)
