#Back in the car

'Huddling together for warmth'. Hardly an original excuse,and almost enough to make Thera laugh aloud. If that was the only thing they'd intended they would have been back on the road just after, heading for somewhere indoors - but obviously enough that wasn't the case! She settled herself down more snugly on Indy's lap, very well aware of the effect her little wriggle and pressing up against him was going to have. One small corner of her mind wondered about the weather outside, if it really was going to get cold, but the rest decided just as quickly it wasn't going to matter; they had the blanket they'd been sitting on outside, within reach if, by some chance, their combined body heat wasn't going to do the trick. Or ... if they were going to get distracted. This time a chuckle did reach her lips, hummed against Indy's as he toyed with her hair. "So, tell me ..." She knew his fondness for 'distraction' in cars, brushed a lock of his hair back from his forehead in turn, "is this gonna be just a warm-up, or are we gonna be out here a while?"

Indy grinned at her comment, enjoying the way they could at least make fun of the way their relationship played out...in whatever form that was. But there was always some element of tenderness that, despite his temperamental moods, Thera was willing to give him. And he was grateful for it.

"I can leave that up to you, if you want," he replied with a small smile, fingers ghosting up the line of Thera’s spine. "You know I'm happy with being here for a while. Enthusiastic, even, when properly motivated."

one thing that is often lost on modern audiences watching the Back to the Future series is that, in 1985, the DeLorean was well known for being a shitty car. The only reason the DMC DeLorean is remembered fondly today is because of BTTF; had the movie never happened, it would’ve been one of those fancy cars lost to time and remembered only by car nerds (trust me, there’s examples of this). Potentially the primary reason for choosing the DeLorean to be the time machine is because of how notoriously bad it was. We even see Marty question Doc’s choice to use a DeLorean, and at the climax of the first movie we see the car fail to start when Marty is lined up to drive towards the wire. The DeLorean was known for being overly heavy, clunky, prone to breaking down, and annoying to maintain.

Basically, what I’m saying is, if Back to the Future was made today, they’d use a Cybertruck.

Prompt:

Brucie Wayne gets into a mild accident in public (read-got hit by a car). And Batman would just walk it off (“it’s barely a bruise”), but Brucie obviously… can’t.

So he has to suffer the ordeal of having civilians call paramedics, getting fussed over, and having-

Having his dead son get into the back of the ambulance with him.

Oh- oh no. He must have hit his head worse than he thought. He thought he was past this…

a normal heterosexual fight would’ve taken place OUTSIDE of the honda odyssey in the big open space of the forest but NO they HAD to be pressed up against each other in an enclosed space all day and night.

damian would NEVER tell his big brothers, but he loves it when they pick him up from school.

though damian isn't well-liked, and is a prime target for bullying, everyone knows about the other wayne boys, respectable yet highly intimidating.

so when one of the other batboys shows up to take him home, damian knows that all his onlooking tormentors shake in their boots for a split second, realising that their "what are you going to do?? tell your brothers??" probably wasn't the best taunt to use against him.

getting rescued out your car during a blizzard or something, oil frozen solid in the tank and you've nowhere to go, phone showing no bars until a big, gruff man in inappropriate winter attire almost rips the door off its hinges to get you out and stuffs you into old truck, engine chugging louder than the biting winds outside, placing a coarse, thick blanket over your trembling shoulders.

you tell him through chattering teeth that you'll leave come morning, won't overstay your welcome, but he doesn't seem to care much about what you're going on about, not even looking at you once.

that's fine, he wasn't even obligated to rescue you from what would've been your tomb and while your breath is visible inside his old vehicle (no heater) and his worn leather seat is numbing your bottom, you're grateful.

until morning comes and you ask him to take you back to your car since the blizzard is over and the sun's been out for hours.

"not takin' ya anywhere 'til i'm paid back in full. think the wood i used to keep your pretty arse warm is free? think the food you ate fell from the sky? get back inside 'n run yaself a bath. i'll be in soon."

"Well, we're back... in the car again."

@therapardalis

Indy chuckled softly and smoothed his hand up and down the length of Thera’s spine before cupping the nape of her neck to pull her down toward him for a kiss. "But we had a great time the last time we were in a car together," he murmured against her lips.

They'd taken a break from studying to get out of the city for a bit of fresh air. Which lead to them parking in a field in the middle of nowhere just to daydream and watch the sky. By the time dusk started to fall, so did the temperature and they'd retreated into the cabin of the car, huddled together for warmth before hands started to wander. Which ended up with Thera in his lap as it so often did in these instances.

Threading his fingers in her dark strands, Indy kissed Thera again while his free hand slid to the base of her spine to urge her even closer. "Cars are probably one of my favorite places to be with you..."

When the Robins were too young to convincingly pass as drivers, they'd always insist that Bruce drive them to school or anyplace they were running late to, because Bruce's extensive illegal racing experience meant they were guaranteed to make it there on time. Or even early sometimes.
