Tumblr media
Clark 
As I drive my hand squeeze the steering wheel it’s been months since I’ve seen Dick. I haven’t been honest with myself for years about him I kept brushing my feelings aside to keep denying myself of what I truly wanted.
Lois Jon and I are going to the Wayne manor for Christmas Bruce invited us at first I thought wow this is great.
But I as I’m thinking in the car with Lois how is talking the phone and Jon dosing off I’m not sure this is a good Idea.
I never said anything to him or let on I had any feelings for him.
 Bottled up inside of me festering I married Lois it felt right at the time it was what we both wanted. 
But Dick was all ways on the back of my mind every step I took in every journey did I persuaded him taking the name Nightwing telling him stories of Krypton, My heart thunder when he agreed and took on the name.
As we got closer to Gotham the icy road snow falling I could hear his heart beat  faster like he is anticipating something.
We drove into the city now as we got closer to the manor it was after seven pm on December twenty-fourth I wonder what would await me. I shouldn’t be thinking these thoughts with my family in the car it’s so hard to think as I’m getting closer to manor it was getting more and more taxing I can’t breath in this box I put myself in all these years.
We drove up to the driveway of Bruce place I opened the door it was ice cold No humans with no clothes on would ever be able to resist this type of brisk cold.
We walked up the snowy steps Jon rang the doorbell bouncing on the ball of his feet wanting to see Damian.
The three of us waited for only a few minutes Lois was still on the phone with her sister.
Alfred opened the door to let us in as we walked in the place smelled like rich burning wood and pine perfuming the air. 
He took our coats and hats and I scanned the room and walked towards the living room, My mind was telling me why are you walking off so quickly who are you looking for your family is right here you don’t need to wonder off like your being summon by a forbidden angel.
That’s what my mind was telling me but I could hear his heart beating hard faster it’s like he knew I was coming I have know idea we’re that thought came from.
I hesitated by the door a bit the heavy old wood doors as Lois hustled me in she pushed the heavy doors opened it and Chaos of bickering and loud voice talking over each other.
And that’s when Dick and me locked eye contact neither wanted to break the gaze I didn’t want to  his eyes are like the blue sky on a sunny day. 
I knew I was staring I couldn’t help it he was so... like a spell was put on me or a curse I could never shake off.
It took Jason to pull me out of my trance he said something to me. “I’am sorry.” I replied.
“Do you want something to drink you look like you need one.” I stared at him and blinked. “Oh yes I would like a drink.” He smiled there was something about his smile a bit wicked like he was going to pull something.
While he went off to get my drink my eyes wonder where Dick was his arm around Barbra shoulder and rubbing it.
A ping in my chest I ignored it for now Jason came back with my drink he had a drink as well he handed it without a second thought I took a big gulp of the eggnog lace heavily with whiskey.
It was strong and it went down smoothly I wasn’t expecting the whiskey I don’t want to drink but as I watch Dick with Barbra in his arm I didn’t protest Jason by giving me the drink.
Jason looks at me and says. “He got engaged last week.” I turned to look at him we we’re far away from the others. “Oh that’s great I’m glad for them.” I said my voice sounded rough and drank down the rest of the eggnog. “ Can I get you another one.” Jason is studying my face intently.
“Yes please Jason another one please and thank you.” I breathed and closed my eyes disappointment and sadness came and rested on my soul as I stared at them unhappily.
As the evening went on and I wasn’t sure but I think this was my third cup of eggnog.
Supper came around we all sat at the dinner table I sat in front of Dick and Barbra Lois sat beside me and Jason sat on the other side of me.
Tim was talking about how great it was his new trip to England he was going after the holiday’s I wasn’t listening much I was to distracted with Dick and the revelation that was just told to me not to long ago.
“So Uncle Clark how’s the daily planet I heard Lex dropped by not to long ago what did he want.” I was taking aback with Tim asking anything I was not feeling myself the eggnog was hitting hard.
“Lex came to the planet and tried to get Superman to convince Metropolis to vote for him for the mayor position thinking he could get me to interview him to be televised. I took a leave absence and he found someone else to interview him.” My face flush I picked up a glass of red wine and took a long swig.
“Clark I have never seen you drink before like this.” I blush because Dick eyes fell on mine I shifted in my seat the spot light was on me I didn’t want that at all tonight.
“It was my fault I thought he could use one.” Jason came and interjected as if nothing was wrong with what he was doing.
“It’s the holidays.” 
“Yes but he do’s not drink like this.” Jason shrugged his shoulder.
“Yeah let it go.” I pipe in and said looking around Dick still watching me expression was silent and reserved he is usually always so chatty.
“Fine Clark I was just asking.” Bruce resolved and he didn’t push it as I thought he would prob more.
Good I thought and ate peas and steamed baby corn. “I just need to take this.” Lois said as she walked out of the room cellphone in hand. 
Jon and Damian finished their Dinner long ago and took off somewhere in the mansion.
So it was just us now sitting as we bantering throughout supper picking at each other when Tim says something about Dick engagement.
“Dick is getting engaged.”
“No no no why are you talking dweeb are you getting married ”Jason said throwing a pea at Tim. “No.” Tim answered his feathers are ruffled.
“Then shut up.”
“What ? I was just saying that it was great to have  Dic..” Jason cut him off.
“You nerd stop being a nerd it’s not you ok shut it down or else.”
“You weasel I’m not getting why would you block me from celebrating my own brother’s engagement this is good news your just jealous.” I shot up wobbly and raised a tossed red wine spilling from my glass. “Easy big guy.” Jason said as he got up and tried to steady me.
“On Dick life journey and hoping he could find true happiness and joy in his life with Barbra.” Dick got up. “Clark I think your drunk gets some water in you here let me pour a glass.” For the first time since I got here he said something to me we never even said hello when I arrive and that was odd all on it’s on.
“I don’t want water Dick I’m toasting why would you stop me from doing that.” I said a little bit upset but I didn’t know why.
“Clark maybe we could just take you to the rest room and sober you up just a little.” Dick said he extended his hand to me everyone sat there watching in silence.
“I’am coming with you we need two people to help him.” They took either side of me and we left the dining room.
I stumbled as we three walked up the long steps of the manor.
We reached a massive bathroom and  there was running water coming out of the faucet. “Splash some on your face please Clark.” Dick says his hand resting on my shoulder rubbing it I felt every digit of his finger massaging me.
I did what I was told letting the water spray my face.
“Why did you give him liquor Jason.”
“I gave it to him because he needed it. I could tell he wanted something hell I would have wanted something.”
“Why.”
“You ask him Dick not me I’ve watch you and him for years and years interacting with each other.” Jason was mad but not at me and not even at Dick.
“What are you saying Jason.” Dick said I was still tipsy holding on to Dick to balance myself.
“You can’t marry her Dick not what I’m seeing with my own eyes it would be a disaster.” Jason said it was nice to be looking out for his big brother.
“Just say it.” I said butting in the conversation that was clearly about me.
“You have feelings for each other and you are making a mistake in marrying the wrong person.” We went silent as Jason confess what was inside of me for years.
“God Jason.” I said loud enough that everyone could hear.
“Be quiet.” Dick put his hand over my mouth  I crave this attention I needed no want his touch.
Jason's hand was on the knob before opening the door and leaving he stated. “Don’t stay here to long I don’t want anyone wondering around here looking for you both I don’t want you to end up like me and Roy.” He said not leaving just yet.
“I will leave here whatever happens when I close the door is your choice,  You chose to do what you want to do with what I just said.” Jason left me and Dick alone.
 We stared at each other this was not how I wanted the trip to Gotham to go down at all I did not want my feelings to come out at all for Dick. I was to live with this for the rest of my life like this not showing him any sign of anything I would stay like this fighting my emotion all the time and pretend that I wasn’t in love with him, And let it eat me alive thinking about him wondering what it would feel like to be with him.
“You are with Lois and you have Jon.” Dick rubbed his face I didn’t see his usual smile like he all ways had this time I knew tonight was that kind of night of no return, A line was cross and I didn’t know who step out of the line I think Jason pushed us there.
“Yes I do you have Barbra and you want to marry her don’t you.” Dick stared at me and I could see him think about my question. “Dick you want her right.” He looked at me and nodded his head robotically like he knew he wasn’t sure about his choice that he made.
“That do’s not sound like you are sure Dick.” I said a knock at the door stopped me from saying anything further.
“Clark they said you are drunk in there what’s gotten into you open this door.” The door opened I sober up quickly when she came in.
“I’m fine Lois Dick was just helping me I was really not feeling swell I need a drink of water I’ll be fine Lois.” Dick made an exit as I watched him leave he didn’t close the door.
“Are you sure you're all right,” She said looking at me with a bit of air of exasperate she didn’t want to deal with a drunken Superman ruining the holidays. 
“I’m fine I told you let’s just go back and join the others.” We left the luxurious bathroom and went to join the others I kept my distance that night not telling him a thing about what just transpired earlier, I even avoided a conversation with Barbra and just stayed silent letting what just happened wash over me. 
The next day everyone opened their present we all ate breakfast and went to the massive yard and threw snowballs at each other and building snowmen. we all stayed out enjoying a day off from god knows what.
I see Dick edging closer to me little by little till he was by my side. “Merry Christmas Clark.” I didn’t say anything to him we stayed in silent just watching the seen around us Jon and Damian building a fort now and Jason chasing Tim torturing him and stuffing snow inside his coat. 
“Merry Christmas Dick.” I inched closer to Dick Lois was inside she wanted no part in the outdoor activity.
“You have my cell number text me or call we can’t talk here to many ears it’s not safe for the both of us.” Dick said talking low and not trying to make too many movements not to draw any attention towards us. 
“What are you saying Dick.” I said not letting my voice out either Bruce wasn’t around he was inside good I didn’t want him out here either.
“I’am saying I want to go out for a cup of coffee or dinner with you I’am saying we need to talk privately.” Dick was serious and so was I. We both did not in any way shape or form should ever be trying to make some sort of date. 
We are both unavailable so I thought but that’s not how I feel I should feel ashamed but I wasn’t. “Ok then when.” I said to him.
“When ?”
“Yes when can we meet.”
“I didn’t think this through Clark I just thought about this right now.” Dick was nervous rubbing his hands together. “How about new years eve.” He said his black hair fell to his shoulders snow falling on it I wanted to touch it and dust it off it was an urge I needed to squash quickly.
“I’ll text you all the information then we go and meet up and ugh..” Dick got hit with a snowball at the back of the head.
Tim laughed and stuck out his tongue at us that moment we had was broken because of Tim and his foolishness.
As Dick looked at me and marched over to Tim picked up snow and smashed it on his face.
I took a shower and wondered what to do next as I was trapped in the manor knowing what I understood that Dick about I but what would become of it really we both do this but where would it lead us.
I knew it would lead us somewhere but it was a dark and rocky road it would not go well for the both of us we would be.. “Clark lunch is ready.” Lois exclaimed.
I didn’t know what to do here but go forward. “Coming Lois.” I cut the shower head and got out and wrapped a towel around my waist and walked out Lois already left for lunch I sat on the bed my cell on the night stand.
I grabbed it no I shouldn’t do this right now not when everyone having lunch. I knew if I did this it would mean I would kick start everything.
Then that’s when I decided to say yes to all of it I text him a simple hi and I put the cell down drying myself off and my cell buzzed.
I hesitated and picked up my cell with a smiley face and a hi he sent me and texting me that they are having lunch and wondering where I was.
I told Dick I got out of the shower and would be joining them soon. 
I could tell he was texting and erasing it he was thinking what to say next Dick did this a few times and then he wrote back. {Don’t say that.}
{What} I said.
{I’m having bad Images of you their all not.. Clark hurry up and get down here I don’t want people to know I’m texting right now.} Dick texted me I breathed god I knew where this would take us I needed to feel good I wanted to feel that I haven’t felt like that in a forever it was wrong what I just confessed to myself and throw everything down the drain for Dick.
{I’m coming Dick.} 
End of prelude.

I can't recall exactly where, probably Teen Titans tho, during the Metal event when they first introduced Stjepan Sejic's Nightwing.. there was a little editorial note: For more Jon Snow Nightwing read Gotham Resistance. Winter Came. That was both the most entertaining thing (probably because I was already laughing at the introduction of him) and the scariest thing ever as a Jon Snow actor hater (this was the time every fan thought he was going to be cast as Dick). Just thought I'd share.
LOLOL I can definitely see all of that. And uh, yeah, I only ever watched GoT for like three episodes, but Kit Harrington wouldn’t really be...ideal to me as Dick haha.
But then again, I honestly don’t know of any actor that would.....I feel like the ideal Dick Grayson pretty much HAS to be an unknown actor, because like......there’s something almost meta about the idea that the live action Dick Grayson should be like.....a revelation. Someone completely unexpected that you never see coming. Cuz that’s kinda....his character, you know? People have so many ideas about what he should be, and he just is not a character that fits neatly into preconceptions.
So I think the reason I always have so much trouble picturing who should play him, is like.....I kinda feel like I shouldn’t even be ABLE to. The ideal Dick Grayson actor for me is just completely unexpected.

Mama Bear - fic
Characters: Koriand’r, (future!)Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Jon Kent, bit of Bruce, Dick, Lois and Clark Summary: Tim Drake could try, and she would make sure he failed. Because as long as she was alive, no one touched her children. A/N: I just loved how protective of and ride or die for Jon and Damian Kory was in TT 15. She’s the mama they deserve, and this fic doesn’t get that point across well enough :/. just more vomit from me, the loser. Sorry in advance I guess.
~~
He had them cornered. Robin and Superboy.
And he had to admit – Damian put up a hell of a fight. Protected Jon in a way that would make anyone who ever knew him proud. Would let Jon run, block every one of Tim’s paths to him, took every hit just to make sure that kid got away safe.
But now he had them cornered. Now they were at the end.
Jon was still holding his leg, the one Tim had hit with a batarang. Blood was still running through his fingers, but he was ignoring it. Leaning against the wall they were backed against, and Tim could see him trying to figure out a way to get out, find any opening he could to get him and Damian out of there.
Damian was much worse off. Gashes and broken bones and bruises across his body. It was a miracle he was still standing – Tim had personally twisted his foot until he heard the ankle break. And that black eye – Tim would honestly be surprised if he didn’t cause permanent damage to it.
“Just give up.” Tim repeated for what felt like the millionth time. “Damian, I don’t want to do this to you. I’m only here for Jon.”
And Damian, chest heaving – he might’ve had a collapsed lung at this point too – merely spit blood to the ground and declared: “Fuck you.”
No, he didn’t want to kill Damian. But as he told the Titans – he would if he had to.
And apparently he had to.
“Suit yourself.” Tim sighed, pulling out one of his guns. All that chase, and this was how they’d go out. Just a few gunshots. Not even hand-to-hand combat. A bullet or two for Damian. Probably just one bullet for Jon. And then it was all over. “I’d say I’m sorry, but-”
“I don’t like liars, Drake.” Damian hissed. “And you’re a terrible one at that.”
Tim smirked, slowly loading the bullets into the chamber. “Dick would love your attitude, kid.”
Damian didn’t respond. Just gripped his batarang tighter, and stepped a little further in front of Jon as the gun clicked shut.
“It’s for the good of the world.” Tim reminded as he held the gun up. And again, he had to hand it to them – Jon and Damian were not backing down. There were no tears, no pleading. Just facing death head-on. “This will save millions. And you have to agree with me, deep down, that one life is worth-”
Suddenly the buzzing of electricity. The reflection of green, and before he could even turn around, the gun was blasted out of his hand, and he was thrown yards away, into a pile of trash.
And the buzzing continued, even as he sat up, and regained his bearings. The gun was destroyed at his side, but what he was more interested in was the woman standing in front of him. Standing between him and his targets.
Flaming red hair. Purple armour. Hands alight with a green energy. Glowing, furious emerald eyes.
“Starfire.” He hissed.
And she didn’t move, other than to raise her arms to attack once more. To speak as calmly and as terrifyingly as Tim ever heard her.
“Get away from my children.”
And Tim could barely take another breath before she was upon him again, grabbing him by his neck and flinging him into the sky. She didn’t let him land, though, before hitting him again. And again. And again. Took hold of his clothes, and launched him away once more. Half a mile this time. At least.
He struggled to get air back into his lungs as he tried to sit up. Couldn’t even do that much. Could only roll over. And even when he did that, she was there. Floating menacingly above him.
“Stay away.” She warned. “I will not be so kind next time.”
And that was it. Then she was gone. Flying back to those boys that Tim knew were going to destroy the world one day.
That’s not how she saw it, of course. To her, they were teammates. To her, they were children. To her, they were people she cared about. And no one hurt people she cared about. Not if she could help it.
She returned to the boys as quickly as she left them, and in her moments away, they had collapsed to the ground. Jon still clutching his leg with one hand, the other shaking Damian’s shoulder, in an attempt to keep him awake. Damian was on his knees, elbows barely keeping his forehead off the ground.
Jon noticed her almost immediately. Looked up with terrified eyes. “Starfire, he…!”
“Shh. I know, small one. It’s alright.” She cooed as she knelt next to them. “Come along, let’s get you boys home.”
Carefully, she gathered the boys into her arms. Jon on one hip, Damian slumped against the other. Their combined weight was no problem. And once they maneuvered their arms around her neck, their positioning wasn’t either.
And for all her strength, she carried them like they were fragile. Like they were special. Like they were infants.
Because it was no slip of the tongue, what she said to Tim. Not for a second.
And they were as close to the real thing as she’d ever have.
She flew across the continents as fast as she could, heading for Superman’s fortress in the arctic. Kept her hair twisted around them both to keep them warm. Even hummed some ancient Tamaranian lullabies to keep them calm.
“I’ve got you, my loves.” She’d whisper every so often. “I’ve got you.”
When she finally reached the fortress, she saw the large door already open, and Nightwing standing there nervously, the cold wind whipping his hair around his rosy face. She smiled as she landed and walked towards him, her babies still in a semblance of safety in her arms.
“We got Batman and Superman stable. The League is heading towards the coordinates you sent now.” Dick informed her when she was close enough to hear him. His face immediately curled into concern and guilt when he glanced down at the children, though. “Oh, Damian…”
“Shut up.” Damian groaned as Dick put a hand on his back. He glanced up as Lois came running out of a corridor towards them, shouting Jon’s name. “It’s not that bad.”
Dick snorted as Lois reached them, and Jon all but leapt into her arms, tears running down his face, his façade of strength from earlier gone in the presence of his mother.
Lois dropped to the floor, Jon still tight in her embrace, as Dick took Damian from Starfire’s arms too, cradling him gently. And despite his tough words, he curled into Dick’s arms himself, and clung to him.
“Thank you, Koriand’r.” Lois breathed, looking up at her. “I can never repay you for this.”
“And I don’t wish you to. It was my duty and pleasure.” Kory smiled. She looked towards Dick. “Take them to the infirmary, they’re both in desperate need of care.”
“I’d like to get you checked out too, just in case. Even if you didn’t notice or feel it, Tim could have done something to you.” Dick tried.
“My job is not over, Dick.” Kory said, shaking her head. There were more noises from the hallway, and both she and Dick looked over to see Clark and Bruce hobbling towards them as fast as their own injured bodies could take them. Jon looked up at them, and began to cry slightly harder. “There’s always the chance Timothy will continue to come after Jonathan. So I will go stand watch outside in case he decides to come and attack again.”
“Kory…”
“Go on.” She pushed, even as Clark enveloped Lois and Jon both, and Bruce took tender hold of Damian’s less-injured hand. “I will join you when we know for sure that Timothy is defeated and in custody, and my children are safe.”
Dick’s eyebrows rose in question, Bruce frowned, and Lois looked up once more with a knowing grin. Clark didn’t seem to hear her, too wrapped up in wiping the tears from his son’s eyes.
Then Dick laughed and rolled his eyes. “Have I ever mentioned how great you are, Kor?” He asked. She just smiled. “I’ll go with them to make sure they’re stable, then come out and join you, okay?”
“If you wish.” Kory shrugged, putting a hand on Damian’s shoulder. “Rest, Robin. You’ve done your job. You protected him.”
“Not until we know Drake is defeated.” Damian wheezed, in a mockery of what Kory had just said. “I’m still on duty until then.”
Bruce grunted a disagreement, but didn’t let it go any further, corralling Dick back towards the hallway, motioning for the Kents to follow. Kory smiled at their backs before leaning down and kissing Jon’s temple as Lois lifted him up.
“Don’t worry, little one.” She whispered, wiping away one of Jon’s tears herself. “Damian and I – and everyone in this fortress – will never let anything happen to you.”
Jon swallowed a lump in his throat, and nodded. Kory smiled and nodded back once, before standing and turning confidently out towards the snow.
Tim Drake could try, and she would make sure he failed.
Because as long as she was alive, no one touched her children.
