Jon: ... huh?

hot takes.

in some files in my head, i hc dick and babs are best friends, they may be a thing at some point, but for some reason, they think it's better not to be together tied in a relationship. and then as dick leading titans, he meets Starfire and has a relationship with her.

i hc kori and babs are friends, not that close friends, but at least they're not made into dick's love rival or envy each other.

Babs coming over to dickkori apt to drop some information files? she stays for more hours just for dick to find them sipping mocktail together, watching mean girls, wearing a matching face mask, and gossiping about anything a girl could have talked about.

dick coming to babs apt? no worries, even when dick stays there for a night, babs always make sure the boy wonder sleeping on the couch and sends the pic to kori.

no cheating, no secret relationship, no making anyone an asshole.

Superbat fic prompt

Injustice AU where Superman wants to keep Batman alive and bring him back to his side, bring the trio back. But Batman is not an easy man, he has a strong principal that is hard to get through. but as Diana pressing Superman to kill Batman, one day he just snapped to Diana, and accidentally killed Batman who wants to protect Diana.

Superman, preserve Batman's body. wrap him in a suit that Bruce Wayne would wear. as months passed, he always finds himself alone with Bruce. he missed him. he missed his best friend. He had this little crush on him one time ago, but since lois is dead together with his unborn child, his only source of love is from playing hide and seek with Batman, and with Batman gone, his life is now empty.

Superman used all his knowledge about the watchtower, and made a portal. he needs to find another Batman. the one that could get him feel alive.

on the other earth, Superman happily invited the Justice League members to his wedding with lois. it's in a month. He wanted Bruce to be his best man since Bruce is his best of friends. Batman has this.. secret crush for a while now, but the man he loves is going to get married to a woman he loves, Bruce can't do anything other than be happy.

as the other members walk out to celebrate, batman is the only one left to check the teleporter. the teleporter went on, and he heard voices calling him from the other side, with worried in his voice.

Batman walked in and the portal went off, making him completely trapped in a new earth, alone and without anyone knows.

Injustice!Superman met him, and gave him a little request. "Stay on this earth for a month, please. then I'll get you back to your earth. i just need to feel alive."

Batman choose to stay there. for a month, but as Bruce Wayne, not Batman. because this world has it's own Batman.

the plan changes, Injustice!Superman can't hold his attention to Bruce and change the mission to be supe's wife for a month. discovering the new earth and anything inside, Bruce getting fond of this earth and at the end, he shares his DNA to bring back this Earth's Batman before he gets back to his main earth. just to be the best man of the person he had loved for the past month, in another earth.

Growing up, Jason used to like the 2009 World Cup song, Wavin' flag by K'naan. but post Lazarus Pit, he's losing some of his childhood memories, leaving him with anger and revenge. He is now listening to classical orchestra music more (influenced by Ra and Talia while he was in the League of Assassin) and some of pop music thanks to steph.

Now Dick is playing that old songs playlist. and as the music plays, suddenly he's 12, wearing world cup attributes while hugging a huge bottle of coke, dancing and singing to the song in the manor with Bruce

when i get older, i will be stronger

they'll call me freedom, just like a waving flag

he opens the bottle and the coke inside bursts to Bruce's face, and they laugh as Alfred tells them to clean the mess.

"you're awfully quiet." Dick says.

"none of your business." Jason brushed him off, but then he stopped. ".. wanna grab a coke?"

he is now older, he is stronger

but is this what they meant about freedom?

[reubyanne]

Jason, gets up to the rooftop on Gotham and meets Nightwing there. he just finished beating some drug dealers.

Jason: sup.

Dick: oh?! you're here too? it's kinda rare since B is patrolling tonight.

Jason: yeah, i just finished some goons selling these "forbidden cigs" to minors. *throws a plastic bag to Dick.*

Dick: there's two cigs in this bag.

Jason: wanna share?

Dick: bet.

Both of Dick and Jason, laying down on the rooftops, eyes as red as Tim's suit.

Dick: *mumblings.* you what jay? i fucking shit on Bruce's garden, once.. dunno, twice maybe.

Jason: i did too, fuck, Bruce was nagging me all day.

Dick: coward, he's chasing me around the manor. good ol days.

Bruce, over comms: yes, and i make you bury that shit under a tree.

Dick: yes B makes me buried— the hell?!

Bruce: stay right there or I'll get Alfred to deal with you.

Jason: heck yeah, Alfred taught me how to use machine guns.

Alfred, over Oracle's comms: sure thing, master Jason.

Barbara, over comms: go home, i know you're high as hell.

Tim, over comms: how dare you both get high without me.

[reubyanne]

Tim makes a goofy machine that will play any song that represents what's inside the object's mind at that moment.

Tim pointing at Bruce: *plays Grieg in the hall of the mountain king.*

Tim pointing at Jason: *plays Vivaldi Winter.*

Tim pointing at Damian: *plays Beethoven symphony no. 5.*

Tim pointing at Dick: *plays Oggy and cockroaches opening song.*

Tim: this is interesting, it's playing classical music!

Tim pointing the device to himself: *plays Julius Fucik Entry of the gladiators.*

Bruce age regression? everyone already wrote it. but Dick age regression?

a meta villain suddenly hit Nightwing with magic, it didn't show any sign on the spot, but the next day, Alfred heard a familiar voice. something he thought he'd never heard again. he found Dick, regressed into a 9 year old boy, a week after Bruce adopted him. he also lost his memories, completely going back to his childhood.

Jason comes home, he feels familiar with this little child that glaring at him.

"uh, Dick?"

"you look old." Little Dick crossed his arms. "that white strike, one of my circus monkeys has it better than yours."

Jason feels deja vu, this emo brat older brother he had.

walking to the dining room with Alfred, he just walks and sits on Bruce's seat.

"Master Dick seems to be.. regressed into a 9 year old boy." Alfred explained.

Damian looks at the angry little boy in a white shirt, black short, and a suspender. he's frowning, something Dick never does in front of him.

"Grayson, i–"

"oh! nice eye color you had! green! just like my lions back then." Dick sipped Bruce's tea. "hope you live longer though, haha!"

Damian, looking at Alfred. "what's with this.. sassy lost child?"

[reubyanne]

Dick can't sew.

he has many bandages on his fingers, he's been watching how to do a parachute stitch for days and yet there's always a bump or tangled thread.

he's tired and still has to stitch his cape, one of the bat computer screens shows a tutorial video of how to do a parachute stitch.

Damian comes to him, pat his chair. "Grayson, i need my cape fixed."

Dick startled, he looked to his left, then looked up to meet Damian's eyes. "y-yeah, sure. give me, I'll stitch it up."

"Grayson, are you.. okay?" Damian asked as he gave his cape to Dick.

"no, no, no.. I'm fine.. I'm fine! you can wait upstairs."

Damian looks concerned, "I'll make us some toast."

After Damian's gone, Dick looks down at Damian's ripped cape.

Dick used to jump around the batcave, bring Bruce's sewing kit and sit on the bat computer as Bruce stitched his cape. when he's still small, he even sits on Bruce's shoulder while Bruce hand sewing his cape.

"Bruce I'm sorry i.. I can't, i just can't.." he looked up, holding back his tears. "it's just a stitch, why can't I do it..?"

The only adult Dick knows in this manor is Bruce, beside Alfred that now is busy in the kitchen. So, with a ripped Robin cape, little Dick waddles to Bruce in front of the Bat computer.

"Dad– ehm, Batman i need my cape fixed."

Bruce looked at the ripped cape, "go get my sewing kit."

this happened several times til he decided to get rid of the cape in his new costume (yes, the discowing).

years later, Dick comes back to Bruce, who's sitting in front of the Bat computer. he holds Damian's ripped cape.

Dick smiles as he walks to the tired bat, feeling deja vu. he touches his chair, "Dad, i need Dami's cape fixed."

Bruce looked a little surprised, then he's smiling. "you silly," he takes the cape from Dick. "go get my sewing kit."

more years later, Dick gets a seat in front of the Bat computer. he's tired and worn out. taking off the Bat cowl, he looks down to his ripped cape.

"Dad, i.. need your cape fixed.." he sighs in between the silences, "... I'll go get your sewing kit."

Cassandra learning English but from brainrot tiktoks.

She just got a phone from Barbara, and steph just installed tiktok there just because Cass won't miss any trend.

unable to understand how tiktok algorithm works, cass just liking every video that is on her For You page. till she gets into the GenZ brainrot slangs and accidentally learns it through the comments.

Jason: *break into the manor, making himself a toast.*

Cass: that's not so sigma, Jason.

Jason: ... what?

Cass: you just lost 10000 aura just by breaking the window and Alfred would fanum tax on your allowance.

Jason: Cass, this is my first time hearing you saying a whole paragraph in English but what the fuck are you on?!

Barbara: *stroll inside the kitchen.* she's a fast learner, you know that.

Jason: yeah but why did she learn THAT ?!

Barbara: learn what?

"you're off cape now, Dick."

Dick can't believe his ears when he hears Bruce say that. off cape? stop being Robin?. Robin has been his identity for half of his life, how could he just let him go?

"I don't know what you're talking about B, we-we're the dynamic duo, you and me. we're working together so well, did i do wrong?" Dick said, remembering all the mischief he made while being Robin.

"you're old enough to lead the Titans, and you need to have your own teams. i only let you off my wings, you still, my son." Bruce said, not moving at all.

"i can lead the Titans and be Robin at the same time, Batman! I've done this for years!"

"Dick! i need you to have your own path. you're mature now, you can't be Robin for the rest of your life. get off the cape, explore the world, there's places that need heroes like you."

just before Dick opens his mouth to argue, a little kid peeks from Batman's back. little Jason with his little Robin suit.

"oh great! i should know I've been replaced!"

"i am not replacing you, Dick! you still my first Robin. i just want you to–"

"–I know! grow up, right?! geez! i hate how you can't even communicate!" Dick throws his domino mask to the floor and walks away. ".. tell Alfred I won't be home for dinner."

"Dick!"

.

it's been weeks since the first Robin became Nightwing. he's gone from Gotham to Blüdhaven, getting away from Batman's shadow, as he told to do.

beating up the rogues, Nightwing becomes more and more angrier, especially when he sees the Bat-signal in Gotham sky.

That time when Dick visited Gotham, on top of a building. The Bat-signal already turned off. as he turned back, he met the new Robin, Jason.

"it's you." Dick said.

"yes, it's me." Jason answer.

there's silence between these two.

"why? are you here to mocking me for being here? or you wanna brag about being the second Robin? hmph, i was better at using the grapline than you anyway." Dick crossed his arms.

"oh so.. you've been watching me?" Jason raised his brow.

"what? no! why should i? i have so much more to do than being a sidekick."

"yeah, you should work on your costume better."

"there's nothing wrong with my costume!"

more silence. Dick looked away, crossing his arms.

"but seriously, why are you even here? if you want to told me to grow up, you better–"

"i was, i was gonna tell you to grow up. you're older than me but you're a petty boy i swear."

"put 'r' in between the 'p' and 'e', then you're correct."

Jason reached his pocket, then he pulled out a pack of cigarettes.

"remind me how old are you again?" Dick raised his brow.

"14 and thriving." Jason put one cigarette to his lips and he still offered Dick one. "you want one or not?"

"geez, I'm gonna tell the bat about this." Dick takes one of the cigarettes and puts it to his lips. Jason gives him the lighter and smokes of cigarettes blows between them.

"you know what? i think you're kinda chill." Dick said with cigarettes between his fingers.

"yeah sure, I can't wait to be 18 and be replaced by Batman." Jason grinned, "i want to be cool like you."

Dick ruffled Jason's hair, "oh you will, little bird! don't worry, I'll give you steps to become a cooler hero than Batman!"

.

Three days later, Dick is standing in front of a grave.

[ Here lies Jason Peter Todd ]

"stupid.." Dick said with tears in his eyes.

"this is not cool at all, jay."

Krypton Kingdom, a place where the majority of the citizens live with super powers. people that are born without them are considered mid-lower class, the ones that do the dirty jobs. and some of them are even treated like slaves.

The birth of their first prince was bizarre, since it's usually a princess that was born from royalty. they're partying here and there, festivals that lasted for 3 months, all people from high to low class cheered together. a magic 3 months of no crimes in the kingdom.

The kingdom Announced the prince's name, it's Kal El. Descendants of the sun, a gift from the Gods.

Kal's 7th birthday, the crucial age for a prince to finally learn about his kingdom and its people. one of the aristocrats gives him a slave, a little boy that is the same age as his. they said he is from a fallen merchant family, his parents killed, and the boy gets trafficked to be a slave. he's so well behaved and understand manner, he's so smart that it'll be a waste if he's end up being the dirty worker.

The boy's name is Bruce Wayne, from the former Wayne family merchant.

The first week in the kingdom was hard for Bruce. he's so silent that most people think he's mute, he just doesn't want to talk to people. even people didn't notice Bruce's footsteps, he just appeared randomly.

Kal likes his new friend. he doesn't understand what a slave is. Bruce is a friend, but not a royal one. so he tries his best to get Bruce to his side. he brings him sweets, takes him to play around the garden, reading books in the library, even having a secret sleep over in Kal's room. but the place that Kal noticed Bruce really like is the training ground. that 7 years old wielding a heavy wooden sword like nothing.

Kal likes his friend and wants to support him, so he tells his sword master to train Bruce. but the sword master, instead of teaching Bruce, is bullying the little boy. beating the little slave from shoulder down so the prince wouldn't notice.

but they were wrong. Kal never uses his x-ray vision on Bruce, but that time when they play, Bruce is groaning in pain. take a little peek, Kal noticed his friend has a broken arm and some ribs. he flies Bruce to the physician, and quickly fires the swordmaster.

The extremely kind prince got angry for the first time. and it's about the little slave he got as a birthday present.

"I'm okay, don't be mad anymore." Bruce said.

"what do you mean?! he literally beat you up! I can't let that happen, especially to my friend!" Kal put his hands to his hips.

"no, Kal.. i.. deserve this." Bruce looks down at his wounds. "everything that happened to me is my fault."

Kal would never understand humans, especially his friend in front of him.

Zatanna accidentally turned Batman into a cat. A fluffy, thick and chonk Angora cat. While Zatanna busying herself learning how to change Batman back to human, he already left the Justice hall to get back to Gotham.

Even as a cat, Batman still works his paws out smacking and kicking the goons. Thank god no one escaped Arkham that night.

Superman flies to Gotham, he needs to discuss something with the bat, he follows his heartbeat but doesn't find him anywhere. So he sits on top of a building on the outskirts of Gotham near Metropolis.

cat!Batman: *climb high up, sit next to superman. purrs. tap his paws to Superman's thigh.*

Superman: oh hi, little guy! you look.. kinda familiar..

cat!Batman with big round light blue eyes and black fluffy fur: mmreow?

Superman: *sigh,* i hope i can understand what you said, kitty. I'm not the infamous Catwoman.. *pat cat!Batman.*

Superman: your heartbeat is so similar to him, I thought you were him. *scratch cat!Batman underchin.*

Cat!Batman: *purrs loudly.*

Superman: *get cat!Batman to his lap.* you know kitty? i know a person that is just like you, he's so much of a cat person even though he's a bat.

Superman: he's fighting evil here and there, saving Gotham even though he has no super powers

cat!Batman: *scratch Superman's hand.*

Superman: ouch! but you can't hurt me with those little paws, kitty..! oh you're so cute! you remind me of Batman, he's the kind of guy that rough on the outside, but he's a softie inside. are you like that too, kitty?

cat!Batman: meerrpp. *uninterested.*

Superman: i.. i like him. no, i 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 him..

cat!Batman: *tilting head.* mmreow?

Superman: i mean.. *blushes.* he's so cool, you know? and.. and.. he's Batman! you know what i mean, kitty? i like him because he's Batman. ah, why did I say this to a cat? it's just a silly crush.

cat!Batman: *purrs and rubs his head to supes.* mrroow..

Superman takes the cat and holds it gently, he smiles like the sun rising: you look clean, and I'm immune to Earth's bacteria. let me kiss you kitty cat.

As Superman kisses the cat, there's a smoke bomb coming out of the cat, and he's feeling a change in weight of the kitty cat in his hand. and as the smoke is gone, there's Batman, or Bruce Wayne since he's not wearing his costume. in fact, he's not wearing anything.

Superman: *confused but blushing.* B-Bruce..?!

Batman: i know, i like you too because you're Clark Kent. can we get something to cover my body?

Superman brings Batman back to his mansion, covered in his cape.

DC’s reasoning for breaking up Dick and Kory is painfully ironic if you stop to think about it. Obviously a big part of Dick is that he desperately wanted to get out of Bruce’s shadow and become his own hero. Basically what happened is they realized they did too good of a job of bringing Dick Grayson out of Batman’s shadow that people were associating him with the titans more than they did with Batman and the Batman writers hated it. So they broke them up and put Dick with Batgirl. This is crazy considering a huge part of Dick’s character is getting out of Batman’s shadow.

They were super popular too. The only comic couple outselling them was Peter and MJ.

Bruce: uh, Tim?

Tim: *clearly haven't slept for 2 days straight.* yes, B?

Bruce: i have a tiny little, little request for you to do.

Tim: *squinting,* this is not a little request, but sure what is it?

Bruce: *scratch his neck.* can you.. uh, take over the Wayne enterprises for me? you know, being Batman and Bruce wayne at the same time is.. kinda hard.

Tim: *spit out coffee.* Bruce I'm fucking seventeen–

Tim: *warping the meeting.* okay, thank you for attending this meeting, guys. i hope we can reach out for that manufacturer in Star City or get that new steel blueprint from Metropolis.

worker 1: *whisper* this new boss is more competent than the playboy.

worker 2: sush! it's his child!

Tim: *sips coffee.* no guys, please continue, i want trash talk too.

Batman trained his robins with games. if they play hide and seek, jason will search the whole mansion with his knife. if they play a hunter game, dick is going to hunt all of his family members to the end of the world with a real gun around the manor garden.

And they all think, "Hey, this is a good game for bonding, strategies, and stealth training!"

The justice league is coming to visit batman, asking for the sample they need from the past missions. at first they just spend some good hours listening to batman lectures about the goo, and now they're in front of a round table with a roulette in front of them. along with the other batkids.

Barbara smirked, "Okay ladies and gents, welcome to the Wayne's Russian Roulette!"

the table split open, revealing a kryptonite bullet, a flamethrower, can of yellow paint, a rope, and a frozen bomb stolen from mr. freeze.

to their surprise, batman also throws his utility belt to the table. dick with his electrical sticks, Jason's guns, Tim's stick, and Damian's katana.

Barbara accepted them happily. "now then, shall we started the game?"

The justice league senses that they come at the wrong time.
