“Are you ready for this?” Oliver asked you as you sat in the back seat of his car, the billionaire behind the wheel and his wife sitting next to him. You watched as the scenery rolled past and the car pulled up to the doors of Wayne Manor. “You don’t have to go in if you don’t want to, Dinah and I can talk to your old man and you can wait in the car.”

“No… no, I’ll go in.” You replied as you unbuckle your seatbelt, as the car parked in front of the front steps of the manor. “After all, I don't want to be alone with the League of Assassins after me.”

“Alright.” Oliver nodded as he turned the car key, pulling it out and pocketing it. The blonde man glanced back at you, giving you a smile, he probably would have ruffled your hair if he was not just a few inches sort of arm’s length from you. “After this is all over, we’ll get you back to Star City, I’m sure Dinah has a number of things planned for you.” “Oli, she is just as much of my partner as she is yours, besides I think it would be good for her to go out on a patrol with you,” Dinah spoke as she unbuckled her seat belt and opened her door, as you went to unbuckle your own seat belt. By the time your shaking hands managed to press down on the red button, Dinah had already opened your door for you, reaching a hand to help you out. You took her hand, and she pulled you up by your arm. You would guess that you practically weighed nothing to her. She paused for a second before her hands unwrapped the shirt she lent you so you wouldn’t have to wear any hospital gown or pajamas. “C’mon, let’s get this over with.”

“Ya… right.” You mumbled in response as you felt Dinah’s hand trail over to your back, leading you inside as Oliver came to stand on your other side. You walked up the stairs of the manor with the two of them, Oliver knocked on the front door of the manor, and a minute or two later it swung open to reveal Alfred, he smiled at you, giving a nod to Oliver and Dinah, you guessed that they were informed to some degree that you were found and alive.

“Young Miss, your father and siblings are down in the cave, I suppose there is something else you need to inform them of?” The butler questioned as he stepped inside to allow you access into the house, Dinah and Oliver walking in alongside you. 

“That is putting it lightly, but yes.” You responded with a small laugh which drew a smile from Alfred. You gestured with your head for Dinah and Oliver to follow you and you led them up to your father’s study.

Honestly, you did not feel scared anymore to speak to your family, especially on such a topic, which would draw heavy reactions easily. 

So when you walked down the staircase hidden behind a bookshelf in your father’s study, down into the cave you did not feel nervous at all when you saw your family gathered all around the Batcomputer. When Dick looked up at you, he almost ran up to you to hold, hug, and squeeze you, but Oliver gave him a sharp glare and put his arm in front of you protectively. 

“Sweetheart… what’s going on?” Dick asked you, glancing between you, Oliver, and Dinah. “I mean thank you for finding her but she’s home now-”

“She’s not staying.” Dinah snapped back, she took a glance at Bruce, knowing he knew the truth, but it was clear that he did not share it with any of the others. You heard Dinah sigh and glance at you as if to silently ask you if you want to tell them or should she, and you gave her a nod and she gave you a squeeze on your shoulder. “Oliver and I have talked to your sister and she has decided to come stay with Oliver and me and work with us as Songbird. We have already informed Bruce of this decision.”

“Father, this isn’t true, correct?” Damian glanced at your shared parent, but Bruce just looked completely and utterly emotionless. Damian then glanced at you, and he looked completely pissed off, if you were anyone else you were sure that he would have strangled you. “You cannot be serious, you lack full mental awareness and-”

“Shut up, Damian.” You scowled at your older brother and he was clearly taken back by your reaction to his words. Oliver shot you a glare of his own, a silent reminder to watch your manners right now, and you bit your upper lip to prevent anything else from slipping out that may have gotten a violent reaction from your half brother. “Look we just thought you all should have the right to know, but for now we have bigger problems to solve.” Oliver spoke up, trying to redirect the situation from your decision to leave Gotham behind forever. “This so called Court of Owls and the League of Assassins have come into conflict with one another, your daughter has seen the assassins the Court of Owls makes called Talons, they are somewhat immortal so that is why she thinks the League of Assassins is targeting Gotham, because they see them as a threat to their goal and Ra’s Al Ghul’s mission.”

“So Gotham City is going to end up being the battle ground for this conflict.” Tim paused in his words, his left hand resting on the side of his face and going to massage his temple in his current state of thought and concern. “If that happens then there won’t be any Gotham left.”

“Exactly, Mr. Queen and I were thinking about dividing the two among all of us and-”

“No you are staying here where you are going to be safe-” “She is going to be with Dinah and I, we’re going to hunt down the Court of Owls, a few of you can come with us while the rest of you can take on the League of Assassins.” Oliver cut Jason off before he could finish his sentence. “Dinah thought it would be smart to contact the other vigilantes in Gotham to help with the situation, especially with evacuation if need be.”

“...I’ll reach out then…” Barbara mumbled begrudgingly after Oliver spoke up again in your defense. “Then that leaves who is going with who.”

“I’ll go with (Name).” The voice of Cassandra chimed in as she stepped up from where she stood at Dick’s side, she walked up to you and gave you a small smile. Honestly, Cassandra was one of your favorite siblings, which was not saying much, but at least it was something. She was always calm and gentle with you, you always wondered if she understood a part of your pain, but she never really shared about her past with you, at least so you knew surprisingly little about her. When your father was hesitant and you guessed that he was going to say he would go with you, she shot a look at him that was a mix between a glare and a completely blank stare. “You need to handle the situation with the League of Assassin, I’ll look after her.”

“I will go as well, Father,” Damian spoke up, glancing at your father. He glanced between you, Cassandra, Oliver, and Dinah. “I believe my skills would be most needed assisting with tracking down the Court.”

“I’ll go with you guys too.” Lastly Dick was the last one to chime in, he looked the most hesitant but he was your big brother so it would only be natural that he would be protective of you.  “I still got to look out for you while you’re in Gotham, ya know?”

“I’ll be alright.” ______________________

“Songbird here with Green Arrow, do you copy Oracle?”

“I hear you loud and clear (Nam)- Songbird.” The voice of Barbara spoke through the connected comm links between you, Black Canary, Green Arrow, along with the vigilantes of Gotham, including Azrael, the Huntress, and Batwing, those three were on damage control, along with the help of Catwoman, you learned. “Where are you all now?”

“Green Arrow and I are up northside, near the city’s cemetery.” You replied, you were currently sitting in an alley, on your bike, Oliver Queen alongside you on his own, you two were keeping watch over the last known sighting of a Talon on Oracle’s security cameras. “Black Canary is about a half mile out on the presumed path of the Talon tool.”

“Alright, Orphan, Nightwing, and Robin are not very far from you two, if something happens you connect them-”

“I will be fine Oracle, I will contact you when we find something.” You replied to Barbara, cutting her off and before she could respond, you pressed a button on the comm link in your ear. You sighed and leaned forwards on your bike, your arms draping themselves over the handlebars of your motorbike. “I hate stake outs.”

“Eh, they aren’t so bad, after all you have me to talk to.”

“You flatter yourself, Arrow.”

“You wound me, my dear.”

“Well I-”

“Songbird, come in, are you there?” A panicked voice of Mark Austen speaks up in the comm link in your ear, just like Oracle did a few moments ago. You almost forgot that he was practically your team’s version of Barbara and her technological experience.

“Ya, I’m here.” You responded to Austen, pressing the button on the device in your ear to turn on your own microphone. “Is everything alright, what’s going on?”

“Camera systems are down at Blackgate Penitentiary and Arkham Asylum, my monitoring team has also lost security control over both facilities.” You finally understood why he felt such a feeling of panic, those facilities had extremely dangerous criminals and psychopaths, if they got out it would be so much chaos that no one would be able to handle it, but if no one could deal with such things then there would be no one to stop the Court of Owls or the League of Assassins. “Clove, Foxglove, Henbane, and Nettle are busy dealing with the crimes around the city while you are dealing with this whole… mess.”

“I got it, Green Arrow and I can split up between the two facilities, do a check and if backup is needed we will notify the others…” You bit down on the inside your cheek as you thought on what you would say next, you did not want to drag Mark Austen into this, he was just giving you simple help, he had a little sister to take care of and raise, they already lost their parents, you did not want her to loose her big brother. “...Hey Mark…”

“Yes?”

“Cut off our comm links to me, I’ll have Oracle contact you if something happens.” You responded to your friend and before he could protest, you spoke up once again. “You have your little sister to take care of, I don’t want you to get hurt because of this whole affair-”

“Not going to happen, Songbird.” Your friend replied, you could practically see his smirk in your mind, so incredibly memorable. “I knew what I signed up for when I offered my help to you all, and don’t worry about my sister, I sent her to stay with some family friends in Central City, we’ll be alright.” 

“Oh… okay…”

“Now get a move on, Gotham needs you, Songbird.”

______________________

You dismounted your bike outside of Arkham Asylum, just past the gates that surrounded the grounds. You and Green Arrow split up, while he went to Blackgate Penitentiary, you decided to take the insane asylum. You spotted no guards on the outside of the asylum, which certainly did not help your nerves along with sending off alarms in your brain, something was most definitely wrong. You walked up to the front doors of the asylum and you reached out a hand to touch the knob and it was not even closed, let alone locked, the door cracked open. You reached up and pressed a finger to your comm link’s button. “Oracle, reach out to Nightwing, Orphan, and Robin, there is a situation at Arkham Asylum.”

“Understood, Songbird.” You heard the voice of Barbara speak back to you, but there was a moment of hesitation in her words. “...Songbird, I heard about the last time you were there with Batman and met the Joker… I really don’t want you going alone there.”

“Sorry Oracle, not going to happen, people could need me in there.”

“Just… just don’t do anything irrational.”

“I make no promises.” You pushed open the doors to the asylum and instantly the scent of blood and rot hit you head on. It took you a second to process exactly what you were seeing but there were bodies everywhere, bodies of the doctors, bodies of the nurses, bodies of the security, you were practically wading in blood. You choked back a gag, swallowing down your vomit and you pushed through, blood splashing against your shoes and legs. You walked over to one of the bodies that was closest to you, pinned up against the wall, hanging by knives, they were doctors from what you could tell. You reached up and yanked out one of the knives that was pinned through the flesh of his arm. You turned the knife over in your hand, inspecting it, you actually recognized this knife, it was one of the knives you have seen a Talon use, specifically when your former friend was killed in front of you before the Talon was murdered by Talia Al Ghul, or rather murdered is the wrong word since you figured the Talons were somewhat undead.

“Songbird, Robin, Orphan, and Nightwing are all on their way, about five minutes out now, crossing the bridge to Arkham Island as we speak.” Oracle spoke up in your ear as you looked back out over the scene of gore before you. “Did you find anything yet?”

“Yes, there is an intruder on the ground, most if not all the staff are dead and the culprit is presumably a Talon of the Court of Owls.” You replied to Oracle as you shoved the knife into your suit’s pocket. “I am going to go deeper into the asylum, see if any of the patients were killed as well.”

“Note, the others will be right behind you when they get there.” You could still hear the unease in Oracle’s voice even now, but you pushed that remark aside and continued on, deeper into the asylum.

______________________

Seeing the bodies all over the asylum was such a stark difference between the last two times you were here, the sent of iron was so strong that it made your head dizzy and you were not about to take any risks so you put on a small gas mask you had over your mouth and nose, you kept it on hand like everyone else on your team in the chance you encountered the Scarecrow, and since you were in Arkham Asylum and so was Dr. Jonathan Crane, you were not about to take any chances about inhaling any fear toxin, especially with your last encounter with him.

As you entered the high security part of the asylum, where all of your previous visits had landed you, you were just as terrified to see that not a single door was locked, everything was left unlocked. Even then as you pushed the door open into the cell block, you could hear the distant sound of laughter, the Joker’s sort of laughter. You glanced around the corner and found not a person moving, you could spot a few figures on the ground but none of them seemed to be moving at least. You stepped around the corner and began walking down the hall and your head looked over into every cell, patients were unconscious, and guards were dead. The Court of Owls did not want to cause chaos by setting loose the criminals of Gotham, they wanted to kill them, to bring their own sense of order to the city…

No, that could not be right.

You turned your head to what you once remembered to be Dr. Jonathan Crane’s cell, the door was wide open and his body lay on the floor. You cautiously walked over to his body and knelt down so you could press a finger to the pulse on his neck, he was alive, just unconscious.

No if the Court of Owls wanted them dead then they would be dead, if they knocked the painets out and yet killed the security guards and the medical staff then that means they just wanted no witnesses because crime, or death and blackmail at least, is how they keep their sick verison of order in this city. 

“Oracle, call the hospital, the patients were knocked out, may be suffering from some form of concussion.” You spoke to Oracle on the comm links as you stood up after turning Dr. Crane on his side so he would not choke in his unconscious state. “I’m going to go further in, see if anyone from the staff is still alive.”

“On it, Nightwing and the others have just arrived outside.”

You continued down the hallway after leaving Dr. Crane’s cell, making your way further down the hallway from hell. You inched your way closer and closer to the Joker’s cell, but when you turned that corner, you certainly found what you were looking for. There before you was the Joker, in his straight jacket still, being strangled and pinned to the wall by what you recognized to be a Talon, something was very clear to you in that moment, that Talon was trying to kill the Joker. 

Then in his desperation the Joker’s eyes landed on the one thing in his line of sight, which would be you. He was laughing through the pain, it was clear that this would be a slow sort of thing, it was intended to be torture. There were stab wounds all over his body, all shallow wounds, and he still had some knives in his arms. 

“Come to watch this freak show, Birdy?” The Joker spoke, all while laughing as he spoke, to you as all you could do it watch as he was slowly killed. “I remember when I d-did this sort of thing t-to your brother, R-Robin is your b-brother, right?”

“He… he’s not my brother.”

“I remember how he screamed.” His laughter ringed in your ears as the Talon squeezed his throat even tighter. “I’ve been waiting to h-have fun with you since you came here with Batsy. See you you scream as I-”

The last thing the Joker heard was your scream of shock as there was the ring of a gunshot that sounded through the halls of Arkham Asylum. There was a golf ball sized hole in the Joker’s skull, he was dead.

You turned your head around to see who shot the bullet, it was a man, gun in one hand and an owl mask in the other, he was dressed in a suit which was clearly custom made just for him, and then you could never forget those blue eyes or that blond hair, or the way he would always push up his glasses with the knuckles of his pointer finger.

“The bullet was to get him to shut up… I have heard the threats he was making about you, saying how he would torture you and kill you…” Gabriel spoke as he lowered his gun, lowering his head and taking a deep breath in and out before looking up at you, forcing a gentle smile. “So I had to kill him first, after all he already deserved to die.”

Jean Paul = baby

Azrael = baby but scary flavored

Okay, so I am falling into my original Jean Paul Valley obsession, and I love the idea of him falling for Baker!Darling.

Like I remember him working as a nurse in hospice as his day job, so just imagine him stopping by to grab something to eat in the morning before work and her little shop had just opened, no other customers are in and there she is behind the counter, smiling as he walks in the door, and when he orders she gives it to him free of charge...

"I'm sorry ma'am, I-"

"You're a nurse, right?"

"Yes, I mean-"

"Take it, it's a thank you for the work you do."

After those words, he is absolutely smitten, and after that, he comes by the bakery some days and if she gives him something for free, he puts more than enough money in the tip jar to cover what she gave him and then some. Other days when he feels to anxious to go in and talk to her, he watches her bakery window from across the street, looking at her through the glass as she talks to customers.

But then the other side of him begins to grow obsessed with her as well...

Azrael begins to follow her from the shadows after she closes the bakery for the night, like her silent guardian angel, but still the angel of death.

There is one night where she is walking home from work, and she is cornered in an alley by a few thugs, she is shaking and terrified, even more so when Azrael, one of Gotham's vigilantes, comes out of the shadows and saves her.

She looks like a deer in headlights when she is on the ground and looking up at him as he reaches out a hand to help her up, but when he pulls her up, he does not let go of her hand, instead he presses his hand to his mask, where his lips would be underneath.

"You are the most beautiful creature that was ever created."

I was really hesitant to write anything for him despite him being my favorite character because of all of the religious themes his character has, I mean he was raised to be an assassin for a Catholic cult (that is a canon part of his character, don’t come after me). But he is such a good character and I just love the idea of both of his personalities loving their darling more than anything and while Jean Paul is shy and nervous to touch her out of fear of harming her, Azrael is gentle with her, not afraid to touch her yet handling her like glass.

[fancyfeathers]

He is literally my favorite DC charater, I mean look at him

He’s just a little guy

One question, why don't you lighten up?

[fancyfeathers]

i feel like in general online etiquette has gone down the drain the past few years. people are so used to instant gratification that the idea someone has to put time and effort into works completely evades them

I think capitalizing art and putting all sorts of art under the "media to be consumed" umbrella really contributed to that. A lot of people no longer view art as a piece made by the efforts of one artist and instead content created just for them to consume and go on with their day.

One of the reasons I don't take requests is because I thrive when I'm able to create my own art instead of making what people demand of me, but when you have thousands of followers unfortunately not all of them read your rules.

I've been at this for months but I still get asks or dms of people going "can you draw a yandere ____", "can you draw your characters doing this", "can you draw this unrelated character", "why aren't you drawing this other character" even though it's clearly written in my pinned post that I don't take requests.

It's not on a level that would make me want to stop what I'm doing but I also can't allow it to get any worse than this so I wrote that post. Some people genuinely doesn't understand how much effort drawing daily takes and I definitely wouldn't be able to do it if I wasn't so passionate about my characters
