#Kirk likes Otis

[chiropterx]

"I see", for Kirk or Man-Bat!~

Send me “I see” and I’ll tell you how my character perceives yours

"Mr. Flannegan is... I feel him to be a misunderstood individual." Kirk says after a few moments of thinking about it. Where to even begin with Gotham's Ratcatcher? The media had painted the man as a villain, with warped views and an even more warped portrayal of his character. Speaking to the man beneath the gas mask... now that had painted him in a very different light from what others had reported. Mercury scurries up his shirt and he takes a moment to cradle the pale rat, placating her with a peanut. She takes the treat and nibbles it, squeaking softly when he strokes her grey back. "Most people don't like rats. They see them as dirty creatures, especially the wild ones. They're thought of as vicious, even evil if we take certain cartoons and movies into account. Which is nonsense, because they're just animals at the end of the day. They have needs, just like you or I." He could hardly berate Otis when he had a certain appreciation for the common vampire bat. They were similarly seen and treated as vermin by humans in Central and South America when their 'crime' was simply existing in their native habitat. Was a rat any worse than a bat? What made one species worthy of life and special consideration when another could be exterminated without further thought? "Don't tell anybody else I said this, but I think Mr. Flannegan is a very empathic person despite what the news has to say about him. His heart's in the right place, even if his feelings aren't centered on humans specifically. People can be different without being 'evil' or 'insane' simply because they don't fit into society's expectations of normal." After all, what exactly was considered 'normal' in a city like Gotham?

A light in the darkness. That was what the Ratcatcher represented in Man-Bat's mind. A small man, he crept with his rats along the underground tunnels and dwellings where things were quieter, away from the noise and brightness of the city. He too was quiet, his footsteps much lighter than that of most other people and he did not scream, at least not until Man-Bat, vaguely recognizing him above ground, swooped down and snatched him up in his claws. Not to bite or to feast upon his blood, no! There was a memory somewhere that was not connected to that one experience down in the sewers. The man with the light and the rats felt almost like a friend somehow, but where he could not say and unfortunately the man did not feel the same in return. Man-Bat chirped, equal parts curious and disappointed. The Ratcatcher had a sharp stick to go along with his light.

name: Otis Flannegan 

name meaning: Otis: wealth, son of Ode; Flannegan: red, ruddy

alias/es: The Ratcatcher; ratman, ratty boy, Willard

ethnicity: Irish-American

three pictures / icons you like best of your character:

three h/cs you never told anyone:

On the days he heads up to the surface for a shower, he'll also take his things to the nearest 24 hour laundromat. 

The only reason Otis’s childhood home (his home away from the sewers) has any furniture to speak of is because his parents more or less abandoned it when they left Gotham.

If Otis finds traps left out by other exterminators, he will trip them and throw them in the water. This goes for both kill traps and live traps.

three things your character likes doing in their free time:

Reading, either fiction or the newspaper to see if the other Rogues have tried anything big.

Teaching his rats tricks the old fashioned way.

Sorting through all the baubles and trinkets his rats have brought him over a given week.

eight people your character likes:

Petra, of course. He has many, many rats, but Petra goes with him almost everywhere.

Irina @n0v4-z3r0

Maddie @celestieu

Kirk @chiropterx

Bane

Penguin 

Copperhead

Khare @oculusxcaro

two things your character regrets:

Letting his parents take him back to America and away from his aging grandfather.

Not breaking his father's nose sooner.

one phobia your character has:

Besides dogs? Complete silence. Complete silence inside AND outside his head means something is horribly wrong.

There are very few acts in Hip-Hop that have had the run of hits that Salt N Pepa enjoyed in the 1980s and 1990s. Salt and Pep, along with DJ Spinderella, helped usher in a wave of female rappers, but beyond their status as trailblazers, these rap queens have a remarkable body of work. Alongside their hitmaking producer Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor, Salt-N-Pepa helped define the sound of an era, with an image that stretched from their iconic Dapper Dan jackets and doorknocker earrings, to Dolce & Gabbana designer outfits and glam photo shoots. 

They have so many hits, and more than a few dope album cuts. We narrowed down the 25 dopest songs from Salt-N-Pepa.

#26

"BACKYARD" - PEBBLES FEAT. SALT-N-PEPA [BONUS SONG]

Our BONUS SONG pick is a celebrated classic guest spot! Here, R&B songstress Pebbles gave the ladies a warning on one of her best new jack singles, and Salt-N-Pepa lend an assist. Don't forget: she'll take yo' man.

#25

"HOLD ON" FEAT. KIRK FRANKLIN, SOUNDS OF BLACKNESS

Salt's spirituality was always there, even if it wasn't always evident in Salt-N-Pepa's biggest hits. This collaboration with gospel superstars Kirk Franklin and Sounds Of Blackness spoke to the religiosity she would embrace in the 2000s.

#24

"AIN'T NUTHIN' BUT A SHE THING"

An MTV fixture in the mid-1990s, this is Salt-N-Pepa at their most anthemic, championing "girl power" and representing for the ladies at the height of their career. 

#23

"INDEPENDENT"

The final single from Blacks Magic is an early example of Salt's talents as a songwriter and producer. The song also features a vocal appearance from R&B star, Sybil.

#22

"I LIKE IT LIKE THAT"

Early Salt-N-Pepa was at their best when getting the party started. A dancefloor-ready album cut from A Salt With A Deadly Pepa, this track is a TikTok craze waiting to happen. 

#21

"DOPER THAN DOPE"

Bob James is one of Hip-Hop's most beloved jazzmen, and "Nautilus" has been flipped a bajillion different ways. But one of the most underrated is this uber-cool track from Blacks Magic. 

#20

"CHICK ON THE SIDE"

This Pointer Sisters-referencing track is a standout on Hot, Cool & Vicious; and it was an early showcase for the ghostwriting of a then-unknown Kool G Rap. 

#19

"TRAMP"

Salt and Pep take on another oldie but goodie. The 60s soul standard, popularized by Otis Redding and Carla Thomas, is a jumping off point for this take down of a sleazy womanizer. 

#18

"GIDDY UP"

Salt-N-Pepa showed love to Rick James on this underrated single from Brand New. With the ladies in full sex vamp mode, it was one of their last major videos of the 1990s.

#17

"YOU SHOWED ME"

Salt-N-Pepa has always had a love for 60s pop songs, and this remake of the 1969 hit from The Byrds is one of their most popular Blacks Magic-era tracks. 

#16

"HEAVEN & HELL"

The final single from the blockbuster Very Necessary saw S-N-P going for street tales. One of the most "hood" tracks they ever released, it wasn't as big as the album's other hits, but showed the girls could get a little gritty.

#15

"R U READY" FEAT. RUFUS MOORE

The group revisited one of it's earliest hits, with much flossier results. The lead single for what would be Salt-N-Pepa's final album to date was an infectious reimagining of "My Mic Sounds Nice" for the "Shiny Suit Era," with an assist from Rufus Moore.

#14

"SHAKE YOUR THANG" FEAT. E.U.

There was a time when Salt-N-Pepa was seen as the raunchy downfall of popular music. Salt, Pep and Spin poked a little fun at their notorious reputation with this cover/interpolation of the Isley Bros classic that also featured go-go legends E.U.

#13

"BLACKS' MAGIC"

The title track to Salt-N-Pepa's third album highlighted just how focused the women were on this particular project and how much creative control they'd gained. Featuring Spin on production and some of the group's most pro-Black subject matter, it's one of their most underrated moments. 

#12

"THE SHOWSTOPPA (IS STUPID FRESH)"

The song that started it all. Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor recruited his girlfriend Cheryl "Salt" James and her best friend Sandy "Pepa" Denton to record this answer to Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick's classic "The Show." Add a synth line from 'Revenge Of The Nerds,' and the rest is history.

#11

"CHAMPAGNE"

The main single from the soundtrack for the largely forgotten Adam Sandler/Damon Wayans buddy cop flick 'Bulletproof,' this Ohio Players-sampling track was a glasses-in-the-air girls night out anthem. 

#10

"MY MIC SOUNDS NICE"

One of Salt-N-Pepa's early signature songs, with a hook that's been revisited numerous times throughout Hip-Hop. It is also another showcase for Hurby's go-go influences. 

#9

"I'LL TAKE YOUR MAN"

One of Salt-N-Pepa's most iconic songs, it's brash and in-your-face. The song has become something of a Hip-Hop standard, revisited by everyone from Mia X to City Girls. 

#8

"DO YOU WANT ME"

The third single from Blacks Magic kept the album on the charts for almost two years. Featuring only Salt's rapping, and some of the group's most inspired production courtesy of Hurby, it's an all-timer. 

#7

"SHOOP"

This megahit helped push Very Necessary to five-times platinum, and it was the brainchild of Pepa herself. With Pepa serving as the song's primary writer and Salt as producer, it stands as a creative high-water mark for a group that fought hard for some independence. 

#6

"LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX"

A sex anthem at the height of AIDS hysteria and safe sex messaging, it became one of the biggest hits of Salt-N-Pepa's career and still stands as a 90s anthem. 

#5

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS"

With this brazen Grammy-winning track, Salt, Pepa and Spin made it clear that sex positivity was the cause of the day. Before Lil Kim and Foxy took it to another level, S-N-P made a stand for female sexuality and staying out of grown folks' business. 

#4

"GET UP (EVERYBODY)"

The video is like a Hip-Hop 'West Side Story,' the Parliament-sampling piano line is catchy as hell, and Salt-N-Pepa delivered one of their all-time best singles with this dark groove. 

#3

"EXPRESSION"

After her breakup with Hurby, Salt wanted more than just romantic freedom. The rapper broke out as a producer, taking the reins and crafting this track, a major hit single for Salt-N-Pepa which set off Blacks Magic. 

#2

"WHATTA MAN"

There are very few songs as big, as inescapable and as undeniably 90s as the second single from Very Necessary. The En Vogue hook is classic, and the video features an uncredited cameo from Tupac Shakur. 

#1

"PUSH IT"

The dancefloor anthem to end all dancefloor anthems. The synth line that sold so much spandex. Those jackets. That hook. This is one of the most recognized Hip-Hop songs of all time, and a timeless party starter. The song may have freaked out parents in the late 1980s, but now it's heard everywhere from wedding receptions to company retreats.

No one is talking about this BUT what if the reason Hope had to impose all those cruel rules on Moordale School was because she’d made a deal with the investors so she could have the money to pay for her IVF treatments?

NEW BATRAT POST

Holy shit, Luna posted twice in a row??? What a miracle!! It’s the rodent men I tell ye, they’ve taken over my brain.

Found out a few days ago that bats purr when held

Ok so

Otis is one of, if not the only, of people who know how to calm Kirk down when transformed into Man-Bat. Due to how similar bats are to rodents, Otis has a brief understanding/connection with him. Not as strong as with rats but they can understand him a bit and able to read his behaviors well. So, I’m imagining one night while Kirk is having a hard time and freaking out as a giant bat Otis manages to calm him down and gently holds his face, stroking his fur and reassuring him in a soft voice. This is the calmest Otis has gotten him before as they’ve never gotten this physical before and he feels safe and comfortable in their arms. Then suddenly he starts purring, much to Otis’ surprise who absolutely flips out (in a positive way) and finds it adorable. From then on whenever he’s able to get Kirk this calm enough he likes to lay on his chest and listen to the purring usually until they both end up falling asleep

“Well thank you for dinner but we should probably be heading out.” Dean said towards the end of one of, if not the most, awkward dinner of his life.

“Dad what about dessert?”

“Claire, we need to get going. It’s a long drive back to Kansas.” Dean said, sighing internally because he knew getting Claire out the damn house was going to be hard. 

“Dean, don't be ridiculous. You’ve been driving for most of the day.” Cas said. “We have the spare bedroom-”

“That’s my room!” Gabriel interrupted. 

“It’s not your room Gabriel. It’s the guest room. You have your own house with your own bedroom.” Cas said, giving Gabriel the bitchiest look Dean had ever seen. That was saying a lot seeing as he’d grown up with Sam. “Dean, why don’t you and Claire stay here for the night? Claire can sleep in Jack’s room and you can sleep in the guest room.” Cas suggested. Claire and Jack grinned at each other and Dean just knew they'd stay up half the night whispering to each other. Or plotting. Most likely plotting.  

No. Nope, Absolutely not going to happen in a million goddamn years. 

“Cas, we can just grab a motel if I get tired.” 

“Dad, I’m not staying in a motel if we can stay here.” Claire said stubbornly. “Plus Jack and I were already planning on making waffles in the morning!” Oh, Jesus Christ. These kids were going to be the death of Dean. And damn if both Claire and Jack weren’t giving him the puppy dog eyes. 

 “Fine. Fine. But we’re heading out in the morning Claire, I mean it.”

“After waffles.” Claire and Jack said in unison. When the hell did those two learn how to do that?

“Excellent, now that’s all sorted I’m going to head home as Winchester’s stolen my room. All the wine is gone anyways.” Gabriel asked, slapping his hand on his thighs as he got out of his seat

“See you in the morning Uncle Gabriel.” Claire said with a grin as Gabriel patted her on the head, ruffled Jack’s hair and gave both Dean and Cas pointed looks.  

“Good night Gabriel.” Cas said, giving his brother a stern look Dean didn’t understand. 

“Same to you bro. Good to see you Winchester, try not to keep this madam a stranger.” Gabriel said, nodding towards Claire.

“I’ll try.” Dean said, mainly to placate Gabriel. Gabriel gave them all a salute before heading out. “Nice to see Gabriel hasn’t changed at all.” Dean said once Gabriel had left. 

“No, he’s still the same annoying ass he’s always been.” Cas said. 

“I like him! He’s invited us to Thanksgiving this year.” Claire said. Yeah that’s not happening. Dean thought. 

“I’m going to teach Claire my secret yam recipe.” Jack said cheerfully. 

“Ah yes, Jack Novak’s secret yam recipe. Involving two whole bags of miniature marshmallows and a ruined casserole dish.” Cas said, shaking his head but giving Jack a fond look. 

“Sounds about as successful as when Claire tried to make apple pie on for Father’s Day.”

“What did you set on fire that time?” Jack asked Claire. Claire could stick her tongue out all she wanted but there were still scorch marks in their kitchen. 

“Yes well, Jack why don’t you and Claire clear up while Dean and I have a quick chat. After that, you can show Claire where she’s sleeping for the night. You two can watch a movie in your room.”

“Cool, how’d you feel about The Avengers?”

“Black Widow is a badass.” Claire said. “Rock, paper, scissors for who washes and who dries?” she then asked. 

“Oh Jesus.” Dean muttered as Cas motioned for him to follow him. Instead of going into the warm looking living room, Cas took Dean upstairs and into a spacious guest room. The walls were painted a deep, honey colour that matched the wooden furniture perfectly. Unlike Dean’s guest room, which was really a junk room, it was immaculately clean. Dean was about to make a quip about the cleanliness of the room before he stopped. In the corner of the room was the very turntable he had brought Cas for the first Christmas they had been together. Without saying a word, Dean walked over and glanced at the records neatly stored in their storage box. Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac and even the rare Otis Reading record that Dean had found at a vinyl fair. Cas had kept all of them. For a fleeting moment, Dean wondered if the note he’d hidden in the Bob Dylan record was still there. A hastily scribbled note saying I wasn't born to lose you. Oh, the irony. 

-

Cas watched with cautious eyes as Dean ran a hand over the box of records. Each one Dean had carefully picked out for Cas in another life. He had battled over getting rid of them for years. Gabriel had always said it was strange to keep hold of them but Cas could have never parted with them. When Jack was a toddler Cas had played all of them for him, smiling to himself at how Knocking On Heaven’s Door would always send Jack to sleep. 

“I think we need to have a talk.” Cas said, trying to ease the tension that had enveloped the room. 

“Um yeah.” Dean said with a cough as he straightened up, looking away from the records. “Cause apparently I’m cancelling my Thanksgiving plans with Sam to spend the day with my ex-brother-in-law, eating my body weight in mini marshmallows.” Dean said. “Cas...what are we going to do about this?”

“And by this you mean…”

“The kids. There’s no way Claire’s going to just go back to how it was before. Plus, Jack is an awesome kid. There’s no way I want to go back to how it was before. I mean, maybe Jack could stay with me during the summer?”

“And what? I get Claire during Easter? Christmas?” Cas asked, laughing at the absurdity of the situation. “We came up with this arrangement so the kids could live a normal life. What’s going to happen next, I have them for one year and you have them for the other? That won’t work.”

“No shit Cas but...did you see those two at dinner? They’ve only known each other for a few weeks but it’s clear they adore each other. Claire’s gonna be an even bigger pain in my ass after this. I don’t want to break my...our daughter’s heart when we separate them again and I’m sure you dont want that for Jack.”

“Of course I don’t! What do you honestly suggest then because not only did we come to this agreement to have the kids lead normal lives but it was also so we didn’t have to see each other.” Cas said because even though neither of them would say it, they both knew that seeing each other again would end in a huge fight and a lot of sex. 

"Then why did you ask me to stay?" Dean asked. Good question Dean, very good question. 

"Because it's late and you can't drive throughout the night when you've been driving all day." Cas said. Liar a small voice inside Cas said. As much as he annoys you, you still love him. 

"Oh." Dean said in a small voice. 

"Why? What do you expect me to say?"

"Nothing...forget it." Dean said. “You know, now that we’re here and I’ll probably never be here again. About that day you packed, why'd you do it? Why did you just hop on a train and leave?”

“Dean.” Cas groaned. “We were so young. We both had tempers, we said stupid things so I packed. Got on the train and you didn't come after me.”

“I wanted to but I didn’t think you’d want me to follow.” Dean said in a small voice. “Dammit Cas, you just had to send Jack to the exact same camp as Claire didn’t you? ”

“We haven’t spoken in twelve years, how on earth was I supposed to know where you were sending Claire for the summer? It might shock you to hear this but I can’t read your damn mind Dean. I didn’t send Jack there because a little voice in my head said ‘Oh Dean is sending Claire to this camp! Send Jack so he can meet the twin sister he never knew he had.’” Cas said.  "You are so infuriating, you know that right?”

"I'm infuriating?” Dean asked, looking highly offended. “What about the time you recorded over my Star Trek episode with a documentary on the life of Tomas Jefferson?"

"You have the whole series on DVD! Why did you need to record it off the SyFy channel?"

"You know why! It was the Trouble With Tribbles episode and that was on the DVD that Sam scratched when I let him borrow it!" Dean shot back. 

"Well, you set fire to the patio furniture! Don't even say you didn't because Eileen told me it was you and Sam the next morning." Cas said.

"You scratched the Impala!"

"That wasn't me, it was Gabriel. I lied and said it was me because he was already on his last warning from when he spilt red wine on the couch." 

"Yeah well, you did break my Captain Kirk mug." 

"No Dean, the asinine way you stacked kitchen items broke your Captain Kirk mug." 

"Yeah well, you...you…" Dean said and something inside Cas just broke. This man, this irritating and stubborn man had been the love of his life, his husband and the man he wanted to spend this rest of his life with. Twelve years hadn’t changed a damn thing. 

"Oh for god sake Dean, shut up." Cas said and even though he knew this was the worst plan in the world, even worse than his non-identical twins switching places, Cas pulled Dean in close, their lips crashing against one another. Oh god, it was like going home after a long trip. Cas knew this, knew it better than breathing. Cas still loved Dean more than anyone else in the history of the universe. 

"Cas this is the dumbest-" Dean tried to say between kisses. Frantic kisses that set Cas’ skin ablaze.

"Just shut up and take off your pants." Cas said before his brain could come up with a million reasons why this was a stupid idea. 

“What?”

“Dean, shut up and take off your pants.” Cas said before crashing their lips together again in a kiss that was more like a battle for dominance than anything else. 

“I can’t take off my pants if you keep kissing me.” Dean said as he pulled away and Cas just groaned because this man drove him so insane but all Cas wanted to do was kiss every inch of his body. "This is the worst idea ever."

"Worse than when you let Jo pierce your lip?" Cas asked. He could still the slight scar on Dean’s bottom lip. 

"That was not as bad as the time you wanted to make your own honey." 

"One bee flew in the house Dean, one."

"Bees don't belong in a house Cas, they belong in a beehive."

"Are you really trying to start an argument when we're about to have sex?" Cas asked. Thankfully Dean shook his head. "Good, now take off your clothes and get on the bed."

-

With The Avengers to mask the sound, Claire and Jack sat in Jack’s room as they called their Uncle Sam. After a few rings, he accepted the video call. Grinning at the pair of them with a warm smile.

"Hey kids...man it's weird seeing you two together. How's it going?" Sam asked. 

"Awesome. We made chilli and got them to sit in the same room." Claire said. 

Well, that's something Eileen signed. So what's the plan? 

Plan?

Yeah, the plan. You two are definitely up to something because Claire's involved. 

Why do you always think I'm up to something? Claire asked. 

Intuition

"Past experience." Sam intoned. "Where’re your dads now?”

“Guest room we think, we heard shouting in there about ten minutes ago.”Jack said. “Something about tribbles.”

“Is he still on about that?” Sam groaned. Just out of view on the screen, Eileen signed something to Sam. He groaned and signed back. 

“Hey! Winchester family rule, no covert signing.” Claire said. Sam looked back at her with a classic Uncle Sam Bitchy Face. “What did you say?”

“Ugh.” Sam said. “Fine, your aunt said that if they’re fighting there’s good chance they’ll end up having sex.”

“Ew! Gross!” Jack and Claire said at the same time. “Those are our dads.” Claire said, wrinkling her nose. 

“Yeah? And how do you think you two were made?”

“With a turkey baster and a very patient surrogate.” Claire shot back. “Wait...if they do...you know...do gross stuff, does that mean they’ll get back together?”

Going from past experience, no. They’ll just fight and make noises that, according to your uncle, only dogs can hear.

“That’s really gross Aunt Eileen.” Jack said. “As far as a plan goes, we don’t really have one. Come on, we’re twelve. We need help and Uncle Gabriel has gone home.”

“Good, his plan would have been awful.” Sam said. “Look kids, I know damn well that Dean still loves Cas and judging from what you’ve told us, Cas probably still loves Dean. Just let them fight it out, turn whatever movie you’re watching way up and see how things are in the morning. I know these two idiots pretty well, you can’t force them into anything.”

“We can’t play the long game here Uncle Sam. Dad’s making us leave in the morning.”

“After waffles.”

“Yeah, after waffles I’ll be shoved in the car and grounded until graduate.” Claire said. The four of them sat in silence for a moment before Eileen’s face lit up. 

Ok I have a plan but if it backfires then you do not get it from me. Claire, do you remember how to disable the battery on the Impala? 

“Yeah, I remember...oh...no car means not having to leave.” Claire said with a grin. “Aunt Eileen, you are a genius and never let anyone tell you otherwise.”

“I want no part in this part of the plan.” Sam said hastily. 

“Too late Uncle Sam, welcome to Team Parent Trap.” Jack said happily.

by RiseRaptureRise

Gotham's filled to the brim with well known criminals who all know how to make a name for themselves. Who strike fear in the hearts of anyone who simply hears their names, but there are some that get swept under the rug.

Maybe they're not the most well known, or the scariest and maybe their gimmicks are cheesy, but they have their own bar and an apartment complex all to themselves. It's no Iceberg Lounge and it's no secret lair, but it's theirs. They're the Kings and Queens of the My Alibi Club and the apartment complex ran by a less than honest owner. It maybe chaos, but that's just how they like it or at least that's what they tell themselves.

Navigating Gotham City is hard, navigating Gotham as a C list villain is even worse.

Just... it would be so enlightening to look at his abilities from a more scientific perspective, you know?" Kirk chatters animatedly as he busies his hands with his work. Rats weren't the same as bats - in fact, they were completely different species but as a social one, they were more alike than most people gave them credit for and Kirk would be a liar if he didn't admit he had a vested interest or three in learning how Otis managed to communicate with them. Did he have any other interest in Otis Flannegan? It started off on purely academic terms, Kirk's brain itching to learn things other than what heavy textbooks could teach. There wasn't anything at all like the young man in recorded history, his abilities explained away as merely being good at training rats and maybe that was so, but Kirk wanted - no, needed to know more and even if there was little chance of it furthering his own research, it was still fascinating as an onlooker.

"Of course, that rather depends on what Mr. Flannegan thinks about the whole thing. He has every reason not to trust me or anybody else when it comes to matters like this but he of all people should know that I would never put him nor his rats in harm's way for the sole purpose of research. As much as I'd love to learn more about him and what he can do, his rights as a person comes first." It couldn't have been very reassuring as a wanted man that Otis couldn't even go to the police if he felt threatened or exploited. Laws in Gotham were muddy at best and even law enforcement had more than it's fair share of crooks.

❝  Can I ask what happened here—  how did you get this one?  ❞ Kirk asks gently. He doesn't reach over to touch or grab at Otis; the younger man seems to like his body space and he respects that, but he can't help but stare at the old injury, blue eyes equal parts sad and questioning.

|| Scars ||

Otis indeed appreciated his space, and he appreciated Kirk only gesturing. He’d long gotten past the scar in question bothering him, but he sometimes caught his fingers tracing the ragged bite scar on his neck when he was lost in thought, when his chin resting in his hand provided enough proximity. He assumed that’s what had brought the scientist’s attention to it.

He let his fingers pass over it once more before turning in his seat so Kirk could get a better view of the scars on the side and back of his neck.

“A babysitter’s dog attacked me when I was about six. It got my hand and arm, too, when I tried to protect myself,” he said. “My parents actually went through legal channels to get the dog taken away from her, but even now I still don’t like being around them.”

Tag 8 people you’d like to get to know better.

Thank you for tagging me, @agentlemuse !😊

Favourite colours: Red, especially the deeper, darker shades. But I also like black, emerald green, deep purple, teal and cobalt blue.

Last song I listened to: Girls Chase Boys by Ingrid Michaelson.

Favourite musicians: Josh Ritter, Ryan Adams, Glen Hansard, The Frames, Sara Watkins, Otis Redding, Jason Isbell, Anderson East, and many more.

Last film I watched: Build My Gallows High (known as Out of the Past in the USA). It’s an old film noir with Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas and Jane Greer. I love old movies, especially film noir.

Last TV show I watched: Criminal Minds. (I’m a crime show junkie. Ties in with my love of film noir, I guess.)

Favourite Original Character: That I created? No idea. That someone else who writes fanfic created? Well, Garrison from one of my absolute favourite Marvey fanfics called Friends? I’d Say Family by mockturtletale would have to be a strong contender.

Sweet, Spicy, or Savoury: Savoury. (But sweet is a close second. Even better if you combine the two, for example, sweet and salted popcorn.)

Pets: I don’t have any of my own, but I claim part ownership in my family’s dog.

I tag @seylaaurora @tabbytabbytabby @all-or-nothing-baby @adamngoodbuck @halespecterwinchester @mandysimo13 @elysiumwaits @captainstennerstar and anyone else who wants to play. No pressure on anyone who doesn’t!😘

C Listers

by RiseRaptureRise

Gotham's filled to the brim with well known criminals who all know how to make a name for themselves. Who strike fear in the hearts of anyone who simply hears their names, but there are some that get swept under the rug.

Maybe they're not the most well known, or the scariest and maybe their gimmicks are cheesy, but they have their own bar and an apartment complex all to themselves. It's no Iceberg Lounge and it's no secret lair, but it's theirs. They're the Kings and Queens of the My Alibi Club and the apartment complex ran by a less than honest owner. It maybe chaos, but that's just how they like it or at least that's what they tell themselves.

Navigating Gotham City is hard, navigating Gotham as a C list villain is even worse.

What does Man-Bat think of his fellow rogues?

Putting this under the cut as it got longer than expected!

It's hard to say exactly as currently Man-Bat hasn't had much experience with other villains in Gotham? Between Kirk and himself, there's only a handful he's interacted with but it's enough to formulate his own thoughts and feelings! First of all, it goes without saying his most positive relationship is with @thewomanwholaughs - Man-Bat is very fond of this Joker for she always gives him yummy treats in the form of bananas and blood, plus she makes a fuss out of him which he enjoys very much! You know how it goes, feed an animal food it likes, treat it well and soon enough it'll start seeing your presence as a positive thing. That's how it works with these two, though it's doubtful Joker would enjoy Kirk's company anywhere near as much as she enjoys the bat's! Otis Flannegan is next, and their relationship is very different from that of the Joker as Kirk met Otis first. Man-Bat stumbled across him later, when he was curled up underground where it was dark and quiet and Otis just... happened to cross his path. Later on, Man-Bat would come to instinctually recognize Otis and playfully snatch him up in his claws, an action which nearly gave poor Otis a heart attack! It wasn't a malicious action on Man-Bat's behalf, but being so big and strong where Otis is not and comparatively weighs very little, it's fortunate the Ratcatcher didn't get more than a scare from this particular incident. Man-Bat is wary of Killer Croc. Kirk may have (very) positive memories of Waylon Jones but so far they don't carry over to Man-Bat quite the same way they do with Otis? Crocodiles are big and more than that, they are predators. Perhaps it's natural instinct to want to avoid something that can chomp on you just as readily but Man-Bat prefers giving Croc a wide berth and leaving the waters to him while he keeps to the skies. When it comes to the Scarecrow, Man-Bat considers him a presence to avoid. Fear gas has a marked scent and anywhere that reeks of the stuff will be a place the bat avoids. Jonathan Crane is a different story and further interactions may change this, but so far the association with fear gas, fear and the villain's scent doesn't encourage Man-Bat. Viktor Zsasz is an interesting one. Kirk has never met them, but Man-Bat has and currently sees Viktor as another predator not unlike himself. If anything, Man-Bat probably regards as a positive factor because wherever Zsasz goes, blood is sure to follow. Man-Bat will almost certainly follow Viktor if he happens to see or detect their presence somewhere close by, regarding them as a source of food and social peer. Mary Dahl (otherwise known as Baby Doll) is a force to be reckoned with. Initially Man-Bat was fooled by her small size and appearance, thinking her an easy source of prey. Nothing could have been further from the truth when she defended herself fiercely, and not only that, Mary herself has no issue letting Kirk exactly what she thinks about him (and it's not much). Due to this, Man-Bat is more inclined to give Mary a wide berth in future or at least treat her with respect. Last but not least is Oswald Cobblepot, aka the Penguin. Lately the mob boss has shown interest in Kirk's work and is not shy about making demands of it. This has frightened Kirk very much and that negativity has crossed over to Man-Bat in a very big way. Fear is one of the most primal instincts and because of this, Man-Bat sees Oswald as a threat and will treat him accordingly. Other villains have yet to make a significant impact but otherwise Man-Bat considers them like most other people; their ambitions and goals are their own, something he has little interest in unless they get in his way.
