Leadership Styles

Bruce: So, Damian. I here you've been training Lawton's daughter. I can imagine that working with a young protege can be difficult. I'm proud of you for putting in the effort.

Damian: It's actually not that hard. Zoe has been a very agreeable and cooperative student.

Bruce: Right.... But I'm sure it gets frustrating when she doesn't follow your orders.

Damian: She always follows my orders. I've found communication to be the key.

Bruce: I mean... Kids will be kids. I'm sure she's run off and done something stupid at some point...

Damian: Nope. Never.

Bruce: But-

Zoe: Hey, Damian! I'm ready to go on that mission.

Damian: Oh, you aren't going.

Zoe: What? Why?

Damian: Because you're not ready. You still have much more training to do before you go on a mission like this.

Bruce: *smirks smugly as he wait's for the argument to begin*

Damian: Also, I am emotionally compromised. I care for you deeply and am not ready to see you in the field yet. I would likely spend the whole mission worrying about your safety. I will attempt to work on this, because I do not wish to hold you back, but in the mean time I would appreciate if you stayed here where you're safe.

Zoe: Okay. I understand.... I love you too.

Damian: Thank you. I appreciate you being patient with me.

Zoe/Damian: *share a emotionally meaningful hug*

Bruce: ....

Bruce: What?

Damian: See? Communication. It's really not that hard.

Dick [tears in his eyes]: I taught him to do that.

Role Models

Tim: Wow, Damian. How do you get your team to listen to you all the time? Even the Titans don't follow orders this well!

Damian: After years of living in Wayne Manor and being Robin I have acquired many skills through observation that I simply implement with my team. Such as:

~

Damian: I know one of you set the kitchen on fire. Who was it?

Lucy Quinn:

Zoe Lawton:

Jon Kent:

Damian: *raises a single eyebrow*

Jon/Zoe: Lucy did it!

Lucy: I did it, okay! I did it! Please just stop looking at us like that!

~

Zoe Lawton/Lucy Quinn/Hippolyta Milton: *did something stupid*

Lucy: Now I know you're mad, Dames-

Damian: I'm not mad. I'm simply disappointed.

Lucy/Zoe/Hippolyta: *Tearing up*

Lucy: You know that's so much worse!

~

Lena Luthor: I'm just... not having a great time right now.

Damian: Would you like to talk about it over some tea?

Lena: I'd like that.

~

Jon Kent: *breaks a bunch of plates in frustration*

Damian: *hands Jon a broom*

~

Tim: So what you're saying is that you're got all your leadership strategies from Alfred.

Damian: Obviously. Who else would I get them from?

Zoe Lawton: Oh, No! I messed up! Damian is going to be so mad at me!

Jon Kent: Don't worry, darlin'. You're gonna be fine. Just give him this.

What Jon hands Zoe:

Zoe: an ugly cat?

Jon: Trust me. Give him this and he won't even remember what it was he was supposed to be mad about.

#i LOVE this cat so much #and im really not an animal person #his name is kazoo #and if i foujd him on the side of the road i would adopt him in a heartbeat #allergies be damned #zoe lawton #jon kent #damian wayne #kazoo the cat #girl with the dogs #serial adoption is hereditary verse

The Family Dynamic (Serial Adoption is HereditaryAU)

Zoe: I just don't understand why you can't ask Damian yourself.

Lucy: Listen, sweetie, it's all about the family dynamic. If I ask he'll say no.

Zoe: The family dynamic?

Lucy: Yeah. You're the baby of the family, so he'll basically say yes to anything you say.

Zoe: I don't think that's how that works...

Lucy: Nah, nah, nah. Listen.

Lucy: Damian is the aggressive overprotective mom of the family. Like the mom that will throw hands with the other PTA moms and will yell at the refs during soccer games. That kinda mom.

Lucy: Lena, is our workaholic, nice but distant dad.

Lucy: They got a divorce when we were young.

Zoe: Wha-

Lucy: Shhhh! I ain't done!

Lucy: Jon is Damian's new husband. He's nice, we like him, but things are still kinda awkward with him. He hasn't been fully integrated yet.

Lucy: Colin is Lena's gold digger girlfriend that doesn't like kids and just wants to drink all of Len's expensive wine and buy shit with her credit card.

Zoe: I'm so confused....

Lucy: You, me and Hippolyta? We're the kids. Lyta is the oldest cause she's the most responsible, I'm the fucked up middle child, and you're the baby.

Zoe: But you're older than Lyta...

Lucy: But you were born just before the divorce- and it was a messy fucking divorce- so mom and dad feel guilty that you never got to have a normal family. So they will basically do anything you ask them to.

Lucy: So, go over there and ask mom if we can order pizza for dinner.

Zoe: Can't you just order pizza yourself? Why do we have to get Damian to do it.

Lucy: Do I look like I'm made of money? I an't buyin' pizza for seven people. Go ask!

Zoe: Okay!

Zoe: Hay, Dami?

Damian: Hm?

Zoe: Can we order pizza for dinner?

Damian: *thinking about it*

Damian: Did you finished your homework?

Zoe: Ah, yeah....

Damian: I suppose pizza for dinner would hurt.

Lucy: Yes!

Serial Adoption is Hereditary: Colin Crain

Hair: Red, shoulder length

Eyes: Green

Physique: Tall, lanky

Height: 6"

Powers: Can exude a gas similar to fear toxin from his skin (might change tho....).

Other: has a lot of tattoos and piercings and gives off "insomniac cryptid vibes"

So remember when I said that this guy was based off of Colin Wilkes? By that I meant he's ginger and has ties to Scarecrow.... but that's like... it.

He kinda just came into being on his own. The first few story drafts for this series did actually involve Colin Wilkes just with a different set of powers. But then his personality kept evolving and I eventually had to admit that this guy was an OC.

I don't usually do OCs but sometimes they happen without my consent.

~

Anywho, backstory:

Colin grew up with his mom (I'm calling her Sarah Wilkes as a nod to canon Colin) in the rougher parts of Gotham. Sarah was one of Jonathan Crain's various test subjects and through the power of Stockholm syndrome misguided obsession was born.

Their relationship didn't last long, thankfully. Crain got arrested and thrown back in Arkham and Sarah was freed. She didn't adjust well at first but she started actually putting in an effort to stay healthy and went to counciling once she knew she was pregnant.

During here years raising Colin alone, Sarah was terrified that Crain would find them. Making her extremely erratic and paranoid. She never left the house, she barely ate and sometimes she would lock Colin in his room to keep him "safe" for days without food or water. She just wanted to protect her son but her mental health wasn't the best...

She ended up dying when Colin was only thirteen, leading him to do what every poor orphaned Gotham kid does: live on the streets because it's better than their fucked to hell foster system.

Sadly there was no Batmobile for him to steal tires from so he basically raised himself until he was sixteen and got picked up by a Metahuman trafficking ring and was forced to participate in gladiator fights. Love it.

Colin was born with his powers btw. Whatever fuck-shittery Crain inflicted on Sarah made for a very interesting baby. Colin theorizes that his powers contributed to his mother's fear and paranoia.

It was at one of these gladiator fights that Colin met Damian! This is also the aforementioned undercover mission where Damian picked up smoking and got his ears pierced. Colin's suggestion to help him blend in better.

The two worked together to take down the organisation behind the whole thing, and afterwards Damian offered Colin one of his safe houses outside of Gotham (I think Imma base these guys in Detroit. Haven't decided tho. Might even base them in Canada. Who knows. Open to suggestions.) as a place to live. Turns out the "safe house" was basically an entire small apartment building but semantics.

Colin currently works at a tattoo parlour and he and Damian keep in touch. But mostly on a landlord/tenant-ish basis until the rest of the team starts showing up.
