● the feels! ● 👏👏👏👏👏

Synopsis: Not long ago, Selina Kyle's heart was removed from her body and the person who cared the most for her during those moments was Bruce Wayne, who has finally returned to the present timeline and is ready to get in contact with his beloved.

Selina attends a fancy meeting of criminals such as Penguin at the Club V along with Poison Ivy. However, Selina is not planning on stealing anything in the place or cause any trouble, but instead, she has been tasked with the mission of following reporter Vicki Vale as she is hot on the trail of discovering the Batman Family secret identities.

An auction begins at the Club V and several objects from unknown origins are placed to sell. One of the items is a cat statue with incrusted diamonds that Selina remembers because she tried to steal that same statue years ago and was stopped by Batman. The statue was being showcased at the Gotham Historical Society and Catwoman tried to stole it the same night when Bruce Wayne and Commissioner Gordon were on the ceremony. Catwoman tried to escape with the statue on one of Gotham's famous blimps, but Batman followed her and tried to apprehend her, causing her to drop the statue to the river below. In one last attempt, Catwoman managed to escape from Batman, but they would meet again in the future.

The auction continues and at that moment, the place is crashed by Harley Quinn, who wants to retrieve her pet hyenas Bud and Lou from the criminals who want to sell them. Harley frees her pets and at the same time she frees other exotic animals and the place becomes a turmoil. The security thugs try to stop Harley and Ivy joins the fight to help her. Selina is conflicted because she wants to take the statue with her, but her sense of duty makes her stop and she tries to find Vicki among the crowd, to no avail.

Moments later, Vicki arrives at her apartment, disappointed that the informant that was supposed to give her information about Batman and the Waynes didn't appear at the meeting. While she contemplates the Bat-Signal in the dark sky, her phone rings and the informant apologizes for missing their appointment and sets up a new meeting in 20 minutes. Vicki leaves her apartment and Catwoman finds the perfect time to break inside and collect the information that she was asked to retrieve. Catwoman finds the wall of evidence that Vicki had been gathering for months and she starts taking pictures. However, Catwoman also notices that Vicki is not only trying to connect the Bat-Family with the Waynes, but she is also determined to reveal the true identities of several criminals of the Gotham underground, including Selina herself. Catwoman takes one last picture of evidence before leaving the place just seconds before Vicki returned from her second failed attempt to get information. Vicki notices that her window is wide open, but everything in her apartment is in the right place.

Later, Catwoman meets on a rooftop with the person who asked her to retrieve information and the same person who was supposed to be Vale's informant, the Insider. He asks Catwoman for an honest opinion on the Vale investigation and Catwoman reckons that Vale has done a great detective work and that she is only missing some evidence to connect everything. However, Catwoman also realizes that Vale is just in need of closure about her past relationship with Bruce and that maybe, if someone talks to her, she would stop her crusade, which would only end up badly for her. At the mention of Vale's past relation, Insider mentions something about a stolen heart and Catwoman remembers that there is only one person who can know what those words mean to her. She turns around and finally realizes that Insider is in fact Bruce Wayne. They share a moment together, but before Selina realizes, Bruce leaves.

Bruce came back to Gotham to test Catwoman and see if she was doing fine, despite her new partners and he found that Selina is aways adapting and now, she is probably stronger that she was ever before. At that exact moment, Catwoman has retrieved the cat statue she wanted with help from Ivy and Harley and they destroyed one of Club V's airplanes.

People will try to convince you Jason Todd is the impulsive doesn't think before he acts type of guy and its funny bc Jason is almost comedic in how fucking long it actually takes this boy to plan out anything

#dc #dc comics #batman #jason todd #red hood #i mean #i literally cant think of a single universe #were jasons revenge plot #didn't include at least 1 year of planning #jason read the count of monte cristo and decided yes this dude knew what he was doing #even his most impulsive revenge plan #of putting a car bomb under the batmobile #needed so much planning #and then he had to spend hours slowly moving towards it #anyway my point is #i think itd be funny if it was a running gag that all of jasons plans #include just the most ridiculous amount of pre planning

The Justice League has been working to dismantle the GIW for awhile, and finally found enough evidence to get them shut down.

Superman is picked to be involved with the dismantling of the base, and equipped with some sort of strange watch bought from a family-run ghost hunting business in Illinois. Apparently, the thing prevents him from being possessed.

He has, of course, ordered fifteen of the things.

Being possessed and used to hurt his friends and family has and always will be one of his worst fears.

As they circle the base, hidden and in groups, waiting for Cyborg to bypass security-Cyborg pauses.

They have someone.

A small-town hero, Phantom. They have him strapped to an operating table, and they're literally about to start carving into him.

Superman sees red.

Inside the base, Danny's waiting for the GIW thugs to start cutting into his duplicate so he can record it and get evidence to the Justice League, so that they know these guys are really fucked up.

He isn't expecting the ceiling to suddenly go missing.

He really isn't expecting to see a spectacularly pissed off Superman start towards the GIW agents while Martian Manhunter (calm down fenton don't be a nerd don't geek out omgomgomgomggggg) himself frees the duplicate.

Then Martian Manhunter pauses.

Looks at Danny.

Danny wills himself onto the visible spectrum and allows the duplicate to dissipate.

Unfortunately, in his effort to not sound starstruck, he just sounds pissed.

"Oh, so now you show up? In the middle of my sting operation?"

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc x dp #phanfic #story prompt #great news this outburst calms down clark #because “MY sting operation” was not something he was expecting to hear #j'onn on the other hand #he is not calming down #because while he is eternally grateful that a child does not have to know what it is to be pinned down #and experimented on #he can still read the GIW agents minds #and everything they were planning to do #so yea #j'onn is still very VERY pissed

[ID in ALT] I've made posts before about Talia/Dick co-parenting Damian moments (will never happen but let me dream) and this came to me in a vision. Took me ages to finish for some reason 😭 and then even longer to post

#dc comics #dc #damian wayne #dick grayson #talia al ghul #batfamily #dc robin #nightwing #anyway. yes im a self-indulgent ''dick as damians secret third parent'' truther #like i DO think it's way more complex and nuanced than the schmoopy affectionate fan portrayal of it #they're brothers they're father and son they're partners they're the dynamic duo except only in past tense etc etc #but consider! I'm not immune to schmoopy affection in fanworks. it compells me despite itself #anyway it's technically not that crazy when it comes to dick and damian. they hug! often! at least they did #it's not as big a leap to these types of scenarios #also talia ''somewhat absent for complex reasons on both her and damians part but very loving and loved by her son'' al ghul #you will always be famous to me #son of the demon origin...bwahhh #anyway. someone made a comic kind of like this/like a post i made abt this topic #but way funnier bc dick and talia starting trying to beat each other up #so go look at that as well #anyway. it's been a somewhat difficult few weeks so I'm. desperately trying to take it easy #i got some reading with me (first vol of kevin smiths GA run that i found second hand and jaimes BB run vol 2!) #so we'll see how far i get through those. considering there's demons in my head telling me to re-read things (LET ME OUT!!!) #when i finish GA and BB i do plan on rereading robin 2021. as a treat to myself #it's a run I've really warmed up to as time went on #I'm keeping up w/ the current b&r run even though it is. admittedly very slow w/ some weird dialogue #i read it for the damian content more than anything. also nikas back so that's neat :] #idk I have a feeling that after absolute power shakes out we might get some more creative team switch ups #so if anyone at dc is interested in taking over the reigns on b&r...that could be very neat #(it's me they should hire me. please DC i have ideas listen to my red hood pitch PLEASE-)

Reactions As I Read: ● Alfred, how I love thee!

● a Silk that is linked to spiders… but not Marvel’s Silk—Cindy Moon. ● I like Prudence ● 👏👏👏👏

Synopsis: Red Robin has travelled to Amsterdam following the trail of a group of assassins known as the Council of Spiders. As soon as he locates them, he is forced to fight against their members: Funnel, Goliah and Wolf. Red Robin stands battle against them knowing that he counts with the Insider to appear at the right moment and deal with them. However, what Red Robin didn't expect was the arrival of Prudence to the fight. Knowing that their plan could fail due to her intrusion, the Insider jumps into the fight disarming Prudence and approaches the group of assassins to teleport them away from the scene. Left alone with Prudence, Red Robin takes her away from the street that was quickly filling with prying eyes to a place where they can talk without concern. Red Robin learns that Prudence followed the same trail of assassins that he did and she wanted to help stop them. However, as they talk, Prudence sends a text message to an unknown person without telling Robin.

At that moment in Gotham City, Vicki Vale goes to Wayne Manor and request to talk to Bruce. Alfred reminds her that she just talked to Bruce the night before, but when she tells him that she knows that man was an impostor, Alfred lets her into the house. Vicki tries to get Alfred to talk by revealing all the information she knows about Batman and the Waynes, even showing to him the tracer that Dick placed on her camera. Alfred explains to her that Bruce was believed to be dead, and the revelation causes her to spill the cup of tea that Alfred had reached her. Alfred approaced her and started cleaning up the spilled tea, but as he leaned over the sofa, he retrieved the tracer and put it away without Vicki realizing that she had just lost her only proof. Alfred then explains that Bruce is alive and well and that he should be back in Gotham very soon. Vicki threatens to use this information to reveal the truth, but Alfred tells her that he would simply deny it. Angry at the lack of results, Vivki leaves Wayne Manor with the intention of analize the tracer that she doesn't know isn't in her possession anymore. As she drives away from Wayne Manor, she realizes that in order to prove the truth, she would need to find someone who had discovered Batman's real identity before her.

In the meantime, the Insider is at the Council of Spider's base of Operations in Amsterdam and he is taken to meet their leader, Webmaster Silk. The Insider introduces himself to the woman as an ispiring assassin who wants to join the group and in order to test him, he must resist an spider bite in his arm. Bruce, having vaccinated against any spider venom, takes the test and becomes a member. However, his first mission is to kill Red Robin.

Red Robin was waiting outside Amsterdam's city hall, expecting an attack from the Council when he is attacked by the Insider and they start a staged fight to eliminate any suspicions. The battle intensifies and Tim understands that Bruce wants to test him, so he fights back with all his ability. While they are fighting, Prudence starts taking down the other members of the Council one by one. She uses a taser to stun Funnel and use some of her poisons to attack Goliath. Wolf is reached by one of Insider's attacks and when almost all of them are eliminated, Red Robin and Insider knock out Goliath.

Red Robin and Bruce watch as Prudence leaves and they head back to their hotel in Amsterdam. After a brief conversation, Bruce informs Tim that he is next going to contact the Outsiders, since the team was under his supervision before his departure and now the whole group is broken and scattered.

At the airport, Prudence talks to someone with her cellphone and informs about her recent encounter with Tim and his mysterious new partner. As she hangs the phone, the man on the line stabs a man with a sword, killing him and revealing his identity as Ra's al Ghul, who has deduced that Tim's new partner is in fact Bruce Wayne and is anxious to meet him again.
