#Head-up Display Market growth

[tinselmate]

I have plans for a, probably lengthy, Adam focused ff where he basically haunts Lawrence, Amanda and Scott. Still need to get more into the Scott bit but I have a small sneak peak for anyone interested.

My intent is also to show more growth with his and each of the mentioned peoples relationship, and I feel as though after his dead a lot of mixed feeling would lead to the other acting more distant or distasteful— so little heads up, thar it might be a bit ooc.

The doctor studies the box within his gloved grasp, turning it over to inspect it more thoroughly, as he tries to recall the last instance he and Alison were intimate, until the dreaded realization sets in, that he can’t.

He takes his mind again in a panic, but even before the incident, both his and his wife’s bedroom had been absent of any lingering touches and even less pleasures.

A pit builds within Lawrence’s stomach at all the dreaded, lost time, before and even after the bathroom, that he should’ve spent with Alison— all the fleeting touches he and his younger secretary have shared, that made tingling stars bubble within his chest. All those feelings, those touches having been yet another empty distraction from what goes on within him.

“Strawberry flavoured lube—“ Adam breaths, casting a mangled shadow atop the floor tiles, that no doubt only Lawrence can detect. He looks almost ethereal standing in the middle of the corridor, the gleaming form of his decaying body adding an ethereal touch, to the usually plain atmosphere of the supermarket.

Lawrence neck suddenly tingles as an uncomfortable tightness spreads trough his chest, his ears ringing and feeling awfully warm. He’s embarrassed.

A sharp intake of air before a wavering bellowing laughter rings from Adam’s deteriorating frame.

“You’re a fucking riot Lawrence” He teases, the decrepit skin on his face shifting into that of a sly grin, displaying an array of surprisingly intact teeth— well, the least the ones that are left.

“Why are you doing this?” Lawrence utters, pinching the bridge of his nose, as if this whole endeavor is merely a particularly, pulsing headache, instead of a traumatic mind fuck.

“You fucki—“ Adam cuts himself off, seemingly astounded by Lawrence indifference.

“Aww, Lawrence I don’t know… why would I possibly do this—“ he coos

“You can’t haunt me forever— I almost lost my family, I did lose my fucking foot” he accentuates his point by making a brief stomp with his cane, the gesture makes Adam snort, while rolling his good eye.

Lawrence lowers his tone to that of a sharp whisper, as a nearby mother cradles her child to her breast before slowly drawing back, away from his slumping frame.

“You must be tired, not much unlike me, Adam… why would you do this to yourself?” He utters, a soft look in his eyes, fucking concern— was he concerned when he left Adam?! In that dingy bathroom, the only hope he had to clung to being that Lawrence might come through that sliding door— bursting it open, followed by some kind of swat.

“You don’t get to do that shit—“ Adam bites back as he flaunders, moving his hands about in pent up frustration.

“That acting like you give a fuck” Lawrence doesn’t flinch as Adam presses forward his ghostly, pale visage mere inches from Lawrence own. The crease deepens and the tense almost annoyed look, Lawrence wore earlier returns— how fucking surprising, this pompous prick.

“Whatever I’ll leave you to your great search for the one thing that’ll, surely, fix your fucked up sex life. You’re not the only guy that fucked me over” Adam says defiantly, reminiscent of the attitude belonging to a moping teenager. Lawrence trains his expression to remain the same, as though he’s not about to jump in joy— he’s leaving oh gods, how Lawrence wishes to just forget, return to the way things were before.

“I’ll be back, Larry” Adam spits, as if sensing the relief, crashing like tidal waves through the surgeons chest.

Leaving the doctor there alone in the market aisle, as he truly ponders just how good life was before.

Before he crossed paths with Adam, fucking Zepp or that god damned John Kramer. Truly mowing over the fact that even before, his life was a moldering mess— his only life line, his family, one he effectively destroyed behind closed doors.

My priority with the fanfiction won't primarily be shipping, though I do plan on adding in some small chain- and rustynailshipping here and there.

That’s it for now, I just really enjoyed the dialogue, hope you liked it as well. I’d love to hear some thoughts and headcanons you’d all have for a ghostlike Adam!

Jealousy and Birthdays

A/N: I am finishing these requests if it is the last thing I do!

pairing: Madara Uchiha x Reader

warnings: Fluff

w/c: 656

Prompt: You and Hashirama search for a gift for Madara. He sees you both and gets a little jealous. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun shone brightly over the bustling streets of Konoha as Y/N walked through the streets from theirs and Madara’s home. Madara Uchiha, the powerful shinobi and leader of the Uchiha clan, was known for his stoic demeanor and fierce loyalty. Y/N admired his strength and determination, but also knew that beneath his tough exterior, he had a softer side.

It was a special day for Madara. His birthday was approaching, and Y/N wanted to surprise him with a thoughtful gift. They had enlisted the help of Hashirama, Madara's longtime friend and rival, to assist in finding the perfect present. Y/N knew that Hashirama's presence would make the task easier, as he had known Madara for many years and understood his tastes well.

As Madara prepared for an important meeting, Y/N and Hashirama headed to the local market. The stalls were filled with a variety of items, from rare weapons to exquisite jewelry. Y/N scanned the displays, hoping to find something that would resonate with Madara.

Unbeknownst to them, Madara's meeting had finished earlier than expected. On his way back, he caught a glimpse of Y/N and Hashirama walking together through the market. A pang of jealousy surged through his heart, causing his steps to falter. He couldn't help but wonder what they were doing together.

Curiosity got the better of him, and he followed them discreetly, keeping a safe distance. He watched as Y/N and Hashirama examined various trinkets, occasionally sharing a laugh or engaging in animated conversation. Each shared moment stoked the fire of jealousy within Madara.

When Y/N and Hashirama finally concluded their search and headed home, Madara raced ahead, his mind consumed with questions and anger. As Y/N opened the door to their house, they were met with Madara's intense gaze.

"What were you doing with Hashirama at the market?" Madara demanded, his voice laced with suspicion.

Taken aback by Madara's sudden accusatory tone, Y/N tried to remain calm. "I was actually looking for a birthday gift for you," they replied softly.

Madara's expression softened slightly, his jealousy momentarily overshadowed by curiosity. "For me?" he asked, his voice tinged with surprise.

Y/N nodded and retrieved a small box from their bag. "I wanted to find something special, something that reflects your strength and wisdom. Hashirama was helping me because he knows you well."

Madara's eyes widened as they handed him the box. He slowly opened it, revealing a beautifully crafted pendant in the shape of a Sharingan, the Uchiha clan's unique eye ability. The pendant gleamed with a deep red hue, capturing the essence of Madara's power.

For a moment, Madara was speechless. The depth of Y/N's thoughtfulness and their effort to find a gift that held such meaning overwhelmed him. He looked up at Y/N, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"I... I didn't mean to jump to conclusions," Madara stammered, feeling a pang of regret for doubting Y/N. "I should have trusted you."

Y/N smiled, a hint of mischief dancing in their eyes. "Apology accepted, but your delivery could use some work," they teased, their laughter echoing in the room.

Madara's cheeks flushed, a rare sight for someone so composed. He couldn't help but join in Y/N's laughter, realizing the absurdity of his earlier jealousy. In that moment, he felt a deep appreciation for the love and understanding they shared.

As the sun began to set, Madara and Y/N sat together, basking in the warmth of their reconciliation. The pendant now hung around Madara's neck, a constant reminder of Y/N's love and the strength of their bond.

In the end, jealousy had been replaced by laughter, and a simple birthday gift had become a symbol of forgiveness and growth. And in the heart of Konoha, Madara and Y/N's love story continued to unfold, unyielding to any obstacle that came their way.

Excerpt from this story from EcoWatch:

More than 100 senior executives and CEOs from the World Economic Forum’s Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders have shared an open letter addressed to global leaders ahead of the United Nations COP29 Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Among the 112 company heads were chairs and CEOs of IKEA, Volvo Cars and AstraZeneca, who pushed governments to promote the case for green investment by global businesses, the Financial Times said.

The open letter’s display of support for climate action by the alliance comes as disagreement has been creating division on corporate climate efforts by businesses.

The alliance represents 12 million employees and $4 trillion in revenues. From 2019 to 2022, aggregate emissions were reduced by 10 percent by alliance members, reported the World Economic Forum. During the same period, there was an 18 percent growth in revenue.

Many international corporations have started scaling back emissions goals, putting the blame on governments for not providing enough standards and financial support for green technology and energy.

“The developing world needs $5.8-5.9 trillion for climate finance, covering both mitigation and adaptation, by 2030. The New Collective Quantified Goal must be raised significantly to aid developing countries disproportionally affected by climate change,” the corporate heads wrote in the letter.

Jesper Brodin, chief executive of IKEA stores’ main operator Ingka Group, said the signatories to the letter want governments to set ambitious goals and “remove some of the obstacles for industries and companies to make the investments,” the Financial Times reported.

“We need more interaction, more support and more collaboration from policymakers around the world in order to both enable investments and speed up investments,” Brodin said.

In their letter, business leaders expressed support for carbon pricing, developing high-quality carbon markets and ending fossil fuel subsidies.

“The distance between the [businesses] who are on the train to the new economy, the smart economy, and the ones on the platform is increasing,” Brodin said. “It is not always easy, because it is very transformative… [but] you have a very large group of companies representing every sector who are on the train and who are transforming or investing and are reaping the benefits of the new economy.”

Sh*t Show at the F**k Factory*

Sunak Loses his Party and the Plot

Source: conservatives.com

By Honest John

WHEREAS NO Conservative Party Conference in recent years can be described as entirely sane, the gathering in Manchester this month, if it is actually remembered at all, will surely go down as one of the most weird. On display we had open leadership bids by swivel eyed partisans of various right wing persuasions; performative politics by Ministers taking place in a world that seems to exist entirely in the fevered imagination of the Tory faithful and GB News, and probably one of the most bizarre conference speeches ever heard (and by one of the alleged Conservative “grown ups” to boot). And, oh yes, we had Rishi Sunak gamely, if wanly, smiling throughout a barely concealed car-crash of a conference, attempting to wield authority no one believes he actually possesses and presiding over one of the biggest political unforced errors in recent years (and that’s saying something). Welcome to the F**k Factory.

Perhaps there was a clue that all might not be going according to plan when one of the most feted politicians at Conference turned out not to be a member of the Conservative Party at all. Like a reanimated Ghost of Brexits Past, Nigel Farage hove into view, allegedly as a GB News anchor. In typical Farage style, the newsman swiftly became the story, with Tory delegates queuing up for selfies and journos interviewing the architect of Britain’s singular act of self harm, seemingly for the job of Conservative Party leader. Just about disguising the twinkle in his eye, the predatory populist opined he would be very happy to lead the Tories if only they could become a little bit more right wing, thereby putting forward his candidature for a vacancy that doesn’t exist. The excruciatingly embarrassing video footage of Farage later bopping with a breathless Priti Patel to Robbie Williams’ Angels will have been small comfort to Sunak, seemingly upstaged on day one.

Altogether more serious were the ideological challenges thrown down at Conference by a curiously unrepentant Liz Truss and an entirely repellent Suella Braverman. Truss, seemingly unaware that she and Kwasi Kwarteng permanently crashed the British economy as well as the Conservative brand during their disastrous tenure as Prime Minister and Chancellor this time last year, swaggered into Manchester Central to address a packed fringe meeting of the “Great British Growth Rally”, which sounded like a cross like Brands Hatch and Nuremberg. Her speech was peppered with the same hubristic nonsense that brought the bond markets crashing down around her ears last autumn and which saw her ludicrous premiership end after just 49 days. Without insight, contrition or political intelligence, Truss nonetheless signalled that the Chicago Economics wing of free market Leninism remains in contention for the post election battle for the soul of the Conservative Party and Truss herself clearly believes her tax-cutting zealotry will find an audience in a party that has almost entirely lost its way. Truss 2.0 cannot be ruled out - at least in opposition.

If Truss’ ego trip had an element of the comic about it, the Home Secretary’s speech entered altogether more sinister territory. One of the many catastrophes of Brexit was the infiltration of the Conservative Party, once the political expression of bourgeois civic values and British business, by rank English nationalism as Boris Johnson purged the party of its Macmillanite liberal wing in order to force through the hardest Brexit deal he could. What Braverman’s speech revealed was that tendency on full display - paranoid, dishonest, divisive, racist and filled with fear and hatred, made all the more ironic by the fact its standard bearer is a woman of colour and the daughter of immigrants. It would take a panel of psychiatrists to truly get inside Suella Braverman’s head, but what her speech articulated, with its talk of a ‘hurricane’ of immigrants heading to the U.K., was the essence of English fascism, now safely ensconced in the formerly respectable colours of Tory blue, but as intolerant, nativist, authoritarian and hate-filled as it has ever been. This, I fear, is the rising tide within Toryism, and Braverman, with her nasty following congregating within the National Conservatives, is likely to be the coming woman.

Braverman’s speech perhaps indicates a dark future for British Conservatism, but there were other Ministers to remind us what a literal joke the Tories have become under Rishi Sunak. In his desperate attempt to win a General Election on culture wars issues alone, his cabinet were encouraged to excoriate “policies” (implemented by whom was not always clear, seeing as the Tories are allegedly the government) that don’t exist or “crack down” on situations that, equally, don’t exist, turning the conference into even more of a theatre of the absurd than it was already. We had Steve Barclay bizarrely assuring a British public, infuriated by lengthening elective waiting lists, despairing of ever getting to see a GP and terrified at the non-arrival of ambulances, that there would be no admission of trans women to female wards. We watched bemused as Jeremy Hunt promised that benefits claimants who turned down a job offer would have their benefits reduced (they already do, Chancellor), and Transport Secretary Mark Harper promise to save us from the controlling malevolence of “fifteen minute cities” (an urban planning idea to place city centre facilities within in walking distance of each other) despite the fact that, as yet, they don’t exist anywhere in the world. Perhaps the most idiotic contribution was by the unfailingly unimpressive Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary, Claire Coutinho, who told us to much hearty Tory laughter, that Labour was keen to introduce taxes on meat. Coutinho was later ridiculed into silence by the conference press pack who repeatedly and gleefully demonstrated to her that she had made her meat story up. Finally, the most unintentionally hilarious contribution to this sh*t show of ridiculous posturing, was the toe-curling speech of Penny Mordaunt who stood on the stage, waving her fist heroically and urged the assembled Tories to “stand up and fight” - continually. Quite who the Blue Army was intended to come to blows with, Penny didn’t make particularly clear apart from some vague exhortation to “freedom”. It is hard to believe Mordaunt is considered the great centrist hope of Toryism and the potential future leader Labour allegedly fear. On the evidence of that speech, Mordaunt seemed not only to lose Conference, but most of her marbles too.

But perhaps the best was saved for last. With probably little more than twelve months to go before a General Election, this conference speech, his first as Tory leader, was Rishi Sunak’s opportunity to provide some direction, principle and purpose to what has seemed like an exhausted and rudderless government, out of ideas. Instead what we got was a bizarre concoction of unrelated intentions that seemed to owe more to Sunak’s own personal wish list than any re-launch of Conservative philosophy. There was a promise to scrap A-Levels and replace them with a Baccalaureate, for what reason, Rishi never got round to telling us; he wants to ban children from smoking; he loves his family and the last 30 years (eighteen of them under the Conservatives) have been a political failure. He sounded much of the time like a really cross parish councillor. But the denouement of this plotless speech was Sunak finally confirming the scrapping of the northern branch of HS2. This was announced in the city it was designed to benefit most, a short sighted decision of monumental proportions that neutralises any further network expansion in the north and turns high speed to low speed once the trains get north of Birmingham. If Labour needed any further proof of the systematic Tory failure to deliver “levelling up” to the Red Wall, Sunak provided it to them in Technicolor. The whole sorry saga is political naivety and weakness at its most miserable - an announcement that was meant to show the public the Prime Minister can make “tough” financial decisions in the national interest has pleased virtually nobody. Sunak’s keynote moment was to tell the country what he was not going to do. Nothing sums up Sunak’s failed premiership better than the dog’s dinner of the cancellation HS2 for the north.

Sunak’s speech was weak and vision-free, but to be fair, what else could it be? There is a reason why Rishi’s showpiece was an embarrassing combination of personal dislikes, tired populism and broken promises. The British people are paying the highest personal taxes for seventy years because Hunt’s budget is trying to fill a £40bn hole in the public finances recklessly inflicted by Liz Truss, the context also to the HS2 decision; Britain’s public services are now collapsing as the consequences of a decade of needless and destructive austerity under David Cameron are finally felt, and the inflation-wracked British economy barely grows, fatally and permanently held back thanks to folly of Boris Johnson’s Brexit. That is the real story of over 13 years of Tory rule, but Sunak’s problem in Manchester was that he couldn’t possibly tell it.

Picture this – you're on a road trip, and KPIs are like your road signs, showing you the way and telling you if you're headed in the right direction.

First up, we've got **Engagement Rate**. It's like the popularity meter of your posts, measuring how many people are interacting with your stuff

Then there's **Reach and Impressions** – these are like the speakers at your party, making sure your music is heard. Reach tells you how many folks saw your content, while Impressions count how many times it was displayed. They're like the footprints of your content, showing you how far it's traveled and who's checking it out.

 It measures the percentage of folks who clicked on your links after seeing your content. Imagine you're a street performer – your CTR tells you how many people dropped a coin in your hat after enjoying your act. A high CTR means your content is intriguing enough to make people want more.

The conversion rate is like the grand finale of your social media show.

This is where your audience goes from being spectators to active participants. It's like turning your audience into die-hard fans who want to join you on tour.

Audience Demographics are like knowing the tastes of your partygoers. It's about understanding who's vibing with your content – their age, gender, location, and interests. Imagine you're a DJ, and you know exactly what tracks will get your crowd dancing. Audience Demographics help you customize your content to match your audience's preferences.

Last but not least, we've got **Sentiment Analysis**. This is all about the vibes people are giving off. Are they cheering, booing, or just nodding along?

“What do you mean?” Bruce asked his youngest son.

“Selkies are rare. They were hunted to near extinction by a secret society. The League dismantled them, since Grandfather does occasionally show care for the environment and did not want a native species of this planet to go extinct. They are quite endangered now, though. And the black market pays quite handsomely for an intact selkie pelt. Most half-selkie children have had their pelts sold to the black market by their human parent in exchange for millions of dollars, rumors say. And full-selkie children are rare, since selkies have a hard time breeding with one another. I should clarify that any child of a half-selkie is still considered a half-selkie, since selkie nature is dominant. They’re referred to as merely selkies, human parent or no.” Damian took a deep breath before continuing his explanation. “Regardless, the fact that Timothy kept his selkie skin intact and still on his person for this long is quite an impressive feat. Although, judging by the scars, I assume someone managed to damage your pelt at least once. I am deeply sorry you went through that, Timothy. I hear it is unimaginable torture for a pelt to be harmed, especially to the extent that your scars display.”

Tim, who was still in seal form, could only nod as Bruce gasped, concern shining in his eyes.

“Oh, Tim, I’m so sorry you went through that,” Bruce whispered.

Tim, whose flipper was still in Bruce’s hand, gently booped Bruce’s forehead with his nose. Bruce let out a surprised chuckle, and gave Tim a soft grin.

Meanwhile, Damian came into the bathroom, kneeling next to Bruce. Slowly, gently, he put a hand on Tim’s head. He gave Tim plenty of time to back away, but he didn’t, curious where Damian was going with this. Damian, after seeing that Tim accepted the hand, slowly began to pet his head.

Huh. That actually felt really nice. He’d never been pet in selkie form before.

Damian gave Tim a soft smile, a smile usually only reserved for one of his animals. “You’ve been hiding this from everyone, haven’t you. Don’t worry, Timothy. You’re safe here.”

Tim was still struggling to believe that. But if Bruce and Damian’s reactions were anything to go by… maybe he really was safe here. He leaned into the petting, giving his best seal grin. Damian kept smiling back.

Eventually, the panic wore off, especially once Bruce began gently stroking his back. The water felt nice, and all the petting made him sleepy. He ended up falling asleep in the tub.

When he woke up the next morning, he was back in human form and back in his bed. He panicked for a moment, before seeing that the arm band was still around his arm. Touching it, he started grounding himself. It was okay. He was okay. His family hadn’t hurt him, hadn’t taken his pelt from him. He was alright.

He got dressed and headed downstairs, just in time for breakfast.

“Good morning, Tim,” Bruce said, greeting him as soon as he came in.

“Morning,” Tim replied. “Uh… thanks. For… not hurting me,” he told Bruce awkwardly.

Bruce blinked. “You thought I would-“

“Janet,” Tim interrupted. “She- she…”

“She is the reason for your scarring,” Damian deduced from his spot at the table.

Tim nodded as he sat down. “The burns, yeah. She… she tried to make sure I would never shift again.”

Damian growled, slamming a fist down onto the table. “If she weren’t already dead I’d kill her myself. Selkies need to shift for their own health and growth! And burning a pelt? How DARE she?”

Tim smiled. He’d never heard Damian defend him like this before.

Bruce chimed in. “I did some research in selkies last night, Tim. I’m not sure if you know this, but young selkies are expected to shift at lea once a month for proper healthy growth. I imagine you’ve been shifting in your tub, and only occasionally, yes?”

Tim nodded.

“We do have a pool in the manor. It’s currently a chlorine pool, but I’m going to make it a seal-safe pool. You’re welcome to use it, and if you want we can block out that time for you to use the pool alone.”

“No, I… I think it’s okay if you guys join me sometimes. Pools are boring when you’re alone,” Tim replied softly. The bathtub (which was massive because Wayne Manor is a mansion) was fine for shifting, but if he was using a pool it would be for fun, for the space to splash around and have a good time. Which usually required other people being around for maximum fun.

“Fair enough,” Bruce replied with a soft grin.

“I have a question, Timothy,” Damian asked, staring at the table.

“Yeah?” Damian’s expression concerned Tim.

“Was I… am I the one responsible for the slashing scar?” Damian asked, tears on the verge of spilling as his eyes met Tim’s.

“No! No, absolutely not,” Tim replied quickly, knowing how much the idea would be eating Damian up. “I was wearing my pelt under the Robin armor when someone hit it accidentally with a knife. I’m just glad Jason didn’t cut it in half, even if he did hit the unscarred part.”

“Jason did this?” Damian asked, rage burning in his eyes.

“Damian! Chill! It was an accident!” Tim exclaimed. “This was back when he was trying to kill me. Even if he had known I was a selkie, which he had no way of knowing, my pelt was hidden under my armor. Jason couldn’t see it when he hit it.”

“Oh.”

“Hold on. Back up. I clearly missed something,” Jason’s voice came from the entrance.

“Jason? What are you doing here?” Bruce asked.

“Alfred insisted I come for breakfast today.” Jason shrugged. “Said it was important, something about family news and a secret we all needed to protect? Anyway, I only caught the sentence ‘Jason couldn’t see it when he hit it.’ What’s going on here?”

“Timothy is a selkie and you damaged his pelt,” Damian practically growled.

Jason’s hands flew to his mouth. “Holy shit, Tim, I’m so fucking sorry. Are you okay? When did this happen?”

“Like I was telling Damian, it was an accident. Back when you tried to kill me, I was wearing my pelt as a wristband under my Robin armor. You sliced it-“

“When I sliced through the armor,” Jason finished, eyes wide. “I am so sorry, Tim.”

“Thanks,” Tim replied with a smile.

“So, what kind of selkie are you?” Jason asked, moving to sit down at the table.

“Seal.”

“Neat! I had a neighbor who was a fox selkie. Her skin was stolen when she was a kid, though. Some rich asshole kept it on display in his manor as a trophy. I actually stole it back for her after I became Robin. It was the first time she shifted in two decades, she said. She was practically glowing with how happy she was.”

Tim smiled. “You helped a selkie retrieve her skin?” He suddenly felt a lot better about Jason knowing.

Jason nodded. “Someone ever takes yours, let me know. I’ll get it back.”

“And I’ll decapitate the asshole,” Damian added on.

“No killing,” Bruce said.

“Just this once, B? As a treat?” Jason asked, a grin on his face. “And only in this hypothetical scenario?”

Bruce shook his head, but didn’t reply further.

“Don’t worry. If need be, I shall distract Master Bruce for you,” Alfred said as he brought in a plate of food for Jason.

“Yes!” Jason said, pumping his fist in the air. Bruce made offended noises that only vaguely resembled words, and Tim began quietly laughing, even as tears began to fall.

“Thank you all,” he whispered. “This means a lot to me. More than you know.”

“Of course, Timothy. Selkies are precious and to be protected.”

“I noticed you’re not calling me Drake anymore,” Tim commented.

“You are my sibling, it’s past time I refer to you by your name. You deserve to feel safe in your own home, in either form. Especially after what Janet put you through.”

Tim grinned. “Thanks, Dames.”

“You are welcome, Timothy.”

Tim Drake is a selkie.

No one outside of Janet Drake knows this, and she ensure it is kept a secret purely for the fact that if it gets out people will quickly realise that neither she nor Jack is a selkie themselves.

They would realise that Janet had an affair.

The man she had met on their trip overseas had gotten her pregnant and then vanished, seemingly disappearing into thin air.

It wasn’t until Tim was born that she was sure it was the other man’s child, if not for the distinctly black hair than the smooth pelt like band around his wrist.

His father had one similar and he refused to take it off.

The first time Tim transformed was luckily when Janet was still sure she wanted to be a mother and was bathing him at just four months old. When the little boy with bright blue eyes suddenly went quiet and then rolled over in the bath, she watched as he turned into a small baby seal.

Janet had screeched and backed up in shock, only to watch as the seal looked at her with big black eyes and seemingly start to cry before he shifted back into Tim.

The band around his wrist came off and was the perfect shape of the seals pelt from earlier, sitting in the tub like it hadn’t just shifted Janet’s entire life out of balance.

Naturally she hid the hide and made sure Tim never saw it again, especially when there were no more shifting incidents.

Tim was nine when he found it and well accustomed to his parents lying to him about a range of things, all varying in importance. They lied about when they would be home, about stocking the fridge, about being at his science fair…

But when Tim was sneaking into his mums closet to try find one of her spare credit cards, he found the pelt and something in him felt whole.

Tim had always felt like something wasn’t right about him. He felt like his very body was missing, or maybe his soul, and no matter what he did he couldn’t find a way to fill that gap. Being in water helped, so did showers and sunlight, though it was never enough.

It was why he started skating and stalking Batman and Robin, just to distract himself.

Photography worked best though.

Yet as he reached a tentative hand out to touch the pelt he swore he could feel himself being put back together like a puzzle.

Tim didn’t shift straight away, not when he was left stuck in the blissful feeling of his skin feeling right for the first time he could recall.

It was when he watched the pelt shift to wrap around his bare arm like a sleeve that he shifted.

The seal form he took wasn’t what he expected, but of course it wasn’t.

From then on Tim would spend every chance he got with the pelt, learning to control both the shifting of his skin and how to disguise the hide on his person. He usually kept it as some kind of band that covered his arm or waist, keeping it close to his hand at all times so he could check that it was safe.

He never wore it when his parents were home, just in case.

Naturally, he did research and learnt what he was as best he could.

By the time Janet realised he was taking the hide out of its hiding spot he was thirteen and almost finished his Robin training. He had kept it hidden from Batman if only because he was scared and not even sure if his mother really knew what it was, but when he came home to find her in his room he knew it was over.

She had held out her hand and said in the calmest voice she could, “hand it over, Timothy.”

Tim didn’t.

Janet had stood up and gripped his wrist, quickly finding the pelt around his arm and yanking it off of him.

Tim had cried, not out of physical pain but mental. It was like he was being put under some kind of spell and he found himself unable to move to snatch it back as Janet held the now pelt in a too tight grip.

“You will not touch this again, you hear me? I’m going to burn it.”

And she tried, she really did, but then Tim started to scream. The loud, echoing wails rang through the entire mansion until Jack rushed to his son and tried to figure out what the hell was wrong with him.

Janet only stopped when Jack started calling for her to call an ambulance and she came up with the badly damaged pelt to find her son seizing on the floor with his skin burning red.

Tim calmed down quickly once she put it under water, but he was still shaking and sobbing wildly.

He never found out how she managed to convince Jack to not call for an ambulance or to leave them alone, and Tim tried not to think about how little Jack had to care for him to accept so easily.

Janet had given him the pelt back and watched him sob as he held it to his chest and wailed.

The next trip they went on lasted seven months and in that time he spent as much as he could in his seal form to focus on healing his damaged skin.

It was still burnt, ugly scars covering the bottom and entire left side of his fur, but he learnt to maintain it.

After that he kept the pelt hidden under armour in the Robin uniform.

When Jason attacked him he cut the pelt through his armour, not knowing it was there. He managed to not cut it in half and in a twisted irony got right over where it wasn’t scarred.

Tim managed to hide it from Batman but at that point he was sure that Alfred suspected something.

Yet it wasn’t until Damian that anyone found out.

At that point Tim felt safe enough to have his pelt kept as a thick band around his wrist, out and open but only in the manner.

As much as he wanted to hate him, Tim couldn’t blame Damian when after a year and a half of him being there and the two working out a few differences and issues, he noticed. Tim hadn’t worn it visible since he first arrived and tried to kill Tim, but he had subconsciously felt safer around Damian and the boy was the best at spitting changes in others appearance.

“Oh.”

Bruce had looked up at Damian while Tim minded his business stirring his tea, “what’s up, chum?”

Damian pointed to Tim’s wrist, “I was not aware you were a Selkie, Drake. I apologise if I damaged you pelt in my attacks.”

Tim had tensed so badly that he was sure that Superman could hear his joints locking even though he was off planet.

Naturally Tim started to hyperventilate when Bruce asked with genuine confusion, “What?”

Tim bolted to his room as quickly as he could and shut the door before sliding down it and clutching his pelt-band to his chest with his free hand.

It could have been a few seconds or minutes, but it felt like a whole hour before Tim heard a knock at the door and the calm, gentle voice of Bruce talking through it.

“Tim? Can you open up for me please?”

Shaking his head even when the other couldn’t see, Tim let out a whimper and crawled quickly to the bathroom as his panic took over.

By the time he heard the door open he was in his preferred form of a half seal, his lower body only and the skin of his back shifted, and clutching his inhuman lower body.

Bruce came in and stared at him in shock for a bit before swallowing.

Coming to sit beside the tub, Bruce reached over and turned on the tap to let water begin to run into the tub.

Tim was grateful if not a little confused by the action and finally got the courage to look up at him.

Bruce looked awkward as hell, but was clearly trying if the small smile on his face was any evidence.

Reaching a big hand over, he held it palm up for Tim until the young man reached out to accept it and placed his own now damp hand in his.

“I… I don’t know what exactly you are, but I do know that you are my son. Damian seems to think I should know already and maybe I should, but not because you didn’t tell me. As much as it pains me to say it, I get why you wouldn’t trust me.”

Tim shook his head, “I trust you, Bruce. I just… the less people who know, the less likely I’ll loose my pelt again.”

Bruce frowned but said nothing about what that implied , though Tim knew he’d be asked about it later. It didn’t help that his lower half showed the most of his burn scars.

“I’m sorry, Tim. I can’t change what has been done, but I can promise you I will never, ever take you pelt form you. I don’t know ow exactly what it means, I’ve never heard of a selkie before, but Damian seemed to think it was important.”

Tim smiled even as he wondered how Damian knew what his pelt was.

Bruce gave his hand a squeeze, “He seemed to gain a lot more respect for you because of it.”

Damian spoke from where he was at the door, making Tim jump and Bruce inhale in a way that showed he was taken off guard, “Of course I have. Selkies are nearly extinct and Timothy had survived to almost nineteen without loosing his pelt.”

Tim fully shifted in his shock.
