#badass dick Grayson

[snakeredbirdbatkatana]

"If I ask, would you?"

A group of traffickers brought Dick and Jason together tonight.

Started in bludhaven before setting shop up in Crime Alley which is monomentally stupid but Dick can't really complain it's nice to spend time with Little Wing.

He even was able to convince him to stop for dessert all in all it's a good night. Idle chit chat before Jay went silent it was comfortable.

Looking at the stars with his baby brother licking rocky road that is dripping on too the roof.

"Would I what, I'm not sharing my ice cream?"

Laughing before he turns tears are steadly dripping down Jason's face.

Throwing his ice cream down he goes to wrap his arms around him before he's interrupted.

"I talked to Tim, earlier brought some shit up we, I said how it fucking sucks that I can't sleep at night, all I hear is fucking laughter Dickhead, he told me that I was barking up the wrong tree with Bruce that if it was really about peace I should go to Big brother."

Jay is sobbing Dick is frozen.

"He said that I never fucking asked that if I just opened my mouth you would have done it so this is me fucking begging because I'm so fucking tired."

He moves pulling him into his chest he feels tears start to soak through his suit but he doesn't care.

A lump has formed in his throat, and for a minute Dick feels like an idiot why didn't it ever occur that what Jay really wanted was protection. That it wasn't just a Bruce vendetta that he wanted someone to choose him to know that his life is above everything else that his happiness is important.

He won't hesitate.

"Little wing, I truly from the bottom of my soul mean this I don't give a flying Fuck about the joker and I will happily take you home and by the time you wake up tommorow the joker won't be here."

Jay pulls away looking searching for something Dick hopes he finds it a smile splits across his face he must have.

Dick looks away for a minute pulling his phone out a message that he has had drafted for years sent out.

The one good thing about Slade Wilson is he is very efficient.

"What are you doing?"

"Texted Deathstroke by this time tommorow Gotham will be clown free now let's head to your apartment."

"What, wait you mean Slade Wilson."

"Race you little wing."

"Wait no stop come back!."

He doesn't turn he can't practically feel Jason hot on his heels but this is the start of something better and stronger than what it was before questions are for later.

He can hear Jay's laughter and Dick never wants to hear anything again.

Imagine: Bruce gets the ability to see people's kill counts

He's not surprised to see that Damian's and Jason's are pretty high.

He's not surprised to see that Dick's is pretty low, for a vigilante.

He's shocked to see that Tim's is way higher than he'd thought (he would be asking about that later...).

He faints when he sees Alfred's.

some ideas i have for the Teen Villain Alliance

Dr. Danny "I stole my PhD from Harvard at gunpoint" Fenton is Damian's best friend despite being at least six years older than him, while Crown Prince Phantom Dark is more of a father figure to Damian despite them being the same flipping person.

Sam is still Damian's favorite though, she's the one who he approached to join.

someone suggested that each "squad" of teens has a different pest as their squad name. So the inner circle (Danny, Jazz, Sam, Tuck, Dani, maybe Klarion since he was there first) are Wolves, with each having a squad under them. Phantom doesn't have a squad, but Fenton's mad science squad are called rats, Jazz has mice, Sam reclaimed bats from the batfam, tuck has his flies, etc

Phantom and Pharaoh tuck pretending that they have no idea what Tennessee is because Wally mistakes them for the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Damian is convinced that the inner circle are Prince Phantom's harem and convinces Dick of that too when he joins.

I really want to add Dick to the Everlasting Trio guys, I really do, but this is about the Teen Villain Alliance, not young adult villain alliance, so the oldest I feel like I can make the trio are 20, with Dick being 24, so if anyone has any problems with that... i guess you can leave, I've already decided on this plan of action.

The first time Red Hood encounters the TVA, they threaten him into buying them alcohol, he buys the nastiest shit he can think of to mess with the brats. Klarion throws up, Sam drinks straight faced

Red Huntress originally liked being an official justice league recognized super hero, but the stress of work and being constantly relied on to save people wears her down. She confronts Phantom for setting these ghosts on her, but he hasn’t done anything, this is the regular amount of ghosts. In fact, he asked that most of his rogues limit their visits to once every two weeks, so its actually less. Valerie has a mental breakdown and joins the TVA

[Thank @brionysea for this expansion]

Steph, walking into a full Batcave: Hey, Jay?

Jason, hitting a training dummy: Yes, Steph?

Steph: What's this about you taking control of all of Gotham in one night... By cutting eight heads off and putting them in a duffle bag?

Jason: That's how I took control of Gotham's underworld. Why? Impressive, right? Bruce doesn't say so.

Steph: Scary, actually.

Dick: Oh, that whole thing was awesome, Little-Wing!

Bruce, whirling around from the Batcomputer: Dick!

Dick: What!? It was! You have to admit doing what you couldn't in one night was awesome AND impressive.

Tim: I mean, definitely criminal activity, but Dick has a point.

Cass: Little brother trained well.

Dick: EXACTLY! He outwitted me AND Bruce! It was one of my proudest moments! At least when I found out.

Bruce: Why is everyone impressed by that?

Dick: Have you ever taken over all crime in Gotham in one night?

Bruce:

Dick: That's why.

yall cling to duke as "the normal one" like your lives fucking depend on it. like why go to such lengths to ignore everything incredible abt him canonically in favor of kicking him to the side bcs you headcanon him as boring. like do you understand how not quirky cute and progressive yall sound. You would never do that to your faves and frankly I think some of you are just afraid that he might just be more interesting that whatever made up version of your favorite batboy you have in your mind

Bird & Fox

Chapter 1

Late at night, you stand alone on a high tower somewhere in Gotham City and look around. It is said the sky in this city always overcast at night, and you can feel the cold wind blowing. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can’t believe the city is so dark and cold at night.

The environment here is completely opposite to the place you live in. Before you immigrated to Gotham City, you lived in Tokyo, Japan. The city you live in is prosperous because of political management, public security management and economic development.

Compared with Gotham City, dark, scary and complicated. How warm and beautiful the city you used to live in is, and there is always a sense of safety and comfort late at night. But Gotham City is surrounded by weird and Gothic buildings, forming a huge contrast and chaotic atmosphere.

This weird and dark Gotham City is listed as one of the cities with the highest crime rate. On TV, the news channel always reports about the content involved in this city and some dangerous information, such as Joker, Penguin, Harley Quinn, etc.

Because of the experience given by your previous work, you know very well no matter where, there will be similar experiences and commonalities. But there will never be a lack of bright and beautiful images, and countless dirt hidden in the dark alleys.

One day, a righteous man dressed as Batman transformed into the Dark Knight and fight criminals for the city appeared in Gotham City. Because of his existence, the Bat Signal can be seen in the sky every night, as if he is promoting his own ideas.

Since he became a righteous Dark Knight to fight criminals, he has become a spiritual idol in people's hearts and a source of fear in the hearts of criminals, making his desire to stop evil more stronger.

In Gotham City, in addition to Batman fighting criminals, there are other superheroes such as Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, Robin, etc. who are also maintaining the safety of the city.

You sit idly on the edge of the roof, with your hands on your thighs, shaking your legs at the empty space, looking up at the Gotham City that is already full of chaos at night.

Seeing a person sitting on the roof of a high tower building, the first thing think of is someone is going to jump off to commit suicide. But you are definitely not trying to do something stupid. You are different. The fact that you can casually run to the rooftop in the middle of the night shows that you are not an ordinary person.

Because of your previous work and some reasons, you were forced to immigrate to this dark city. In the morning, you finally packed your things. Tonight is your first time to spend the night freely in this city.

Now you should be an unemployed vagrant. Although you have not been removed from the list, you have been exiled here by the "organization" after all. The more you think about it, the angrier you get. You were exiled to a strange city because of different beliefs, but you still have to thank the "organization" for supporting you with funding.

You are leisurely and bored. You hum a sweet song in a low voice and shake your head slightly. You are intoxicated in the song then hear the faint footsteps approaching you step by step. You stop humming the song.

The person approaching you stops, you glance back. A tall black figure and a shorter child standing next to him are standing behind you. You vaguely guess who they are.

You remain calm and composed, your face is covered by the fox mask but you still smile. Although they can't see, you cross your hands in front of chest and say "What a beautiful night, everyone."

The tall black figure keeps a distance from you, but from your observation, he is very wary of you. He is wearing a mask, you can't see his eyes, only his lips. He is silent then blurts out "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

You stamp your feet and think about how to answer his question, but no excuse can cover up the fact that you are suspicious, it doesn't make sense that you trespassed into this high tower and sit on the roof in the middle of the night. "I said I came here for a walk, would you believe it?"

The little guy standing next to him holds a katana, with a smile that seems very confident. Your intuition tells you that can't underestimate him. Even if he is a kid, his sword holding method and posture are not ordinary, but a skilled posture.

You noticed the little guy looking you up and down, perhaps he was waiting for his chance, he tightened the grip of his katana, seemingly ready to strike you "TT, you lie without thinking."

He pulled out his katana and pointed at you. You stayed still, hands still in front of your chest, breathing kept balanced, but stopped stamping your feet, tried not to make any unnecessary movements. This was a lesson taught by the "Organization".

When he was about to pounce on you with the katana, the black figure blocked the little guy with his hands in front of him. The little guy immediately stopped and looked at the black figure. At this time, the little guy was confused why stop him.

The black figure looked at the little guy as if giving some instructions. The little guy seemed to understand his intention and put the katana away walked to the side to look at you, while the black figure looked at you and said, "I am Batman. What about you?"

You finally heard the black figure say his title in person. He is Batman. The real person is right in front of you. It feels so cool. You noticed the little guy beside you frowned and looked impatient. "Hello, Batman. It's a beautiful night. Bring your kids to see the night view?"

When the little guy heard you say he was a "kid", his sharp ears immediately stood up, walked towards you with a red face and anger. His attitude towards you was enough to prove he was a kid with a strong self-esteem. This time, Batman did not stop him.

Realizing that you said the wrong thing, he can fight criminals and work with Batman, he is not an ordinary child. It is embarrassing to apologize at this time. He points his index finger at you and says, "Listen, I am Robin. Not a kid! Bitch!"

You feel bad when you hear him use the word "bitch", but he is just a kid. But not an ordinary child, Robin has rich combat experience and skill training.

Seeing him, recall that you were strictly trained in the "Organization" before. You were still 8 years old. No one showed mercy in the sparring battle. Until now, you have become an independent person at the age of 20, but you have been exiled by the "Organization".

Maybe you are not the person in their idealism. You have opposite beliefs and ideas from them. The result is your value judgment.

Robin noticed that you were in a state of vacant thoughts. He looked at Batman in confusion and tried to ask him what to do. Batman just stared at you expressionlessly, waiting for your reaction.

When you were in a daze, Robin slowly approached you, trying to touch you to wake you up. Subconsciously, you came back to your senses and grabbed his index finger with your hand. "Whoops, sorry. I was just in a daze."

Since the two of them have introduced themselves, you can't be rude. You let go of Robin's hand. With your right hand, you put your middle finger and ring finger together and press them on your thumb, and lift your index finger and pinky finger to form a fox shape. "Hello, my name is Kitsune, you can also call me Fox."

You put your hand into the pocket of your long sleeves and took out a flash bomb. They immediately stepped back and got ready for the fight, but you didn't want to kill people in vain. You just wanted to leave here.

You threw a flash bomb into the air, it flashed a dazzling light. Batman and Robin subconsciously used their cloaks to block their sight. When they put down and opened their eyes, you were gone.

Robin ran to the edge and looked down at the 40-story building. There was no trace of you. Batman stood aside and looked around. There was indeed no trace of you. The two of them confirmed that you were gone, Robin was surprised and swallowed his saliva. "That bitch really disappeared."

Batman listened to Robin's words but didn't respond. He was actually thinking, and confused about how you did it. You disappeared just a few seconds after the flash of light, leaving no trace.

The two of them looked for your trace everywhere, but there was no clue. In desperation, they had to retreat temporarily. In fact, you just used some trick to deceive them.

After you return home, take off your mask, place it on the table, remove all your equipment, put them in the closet, close the closet and see the mirror reflecting your naked body. You gently touch each scar, which are the marks of your becoming a "ninja" and the medal of your success.

You don't hate these scars all over your body. Although the scars are deeply engraved on your body, you are very happy, even grateful to have them. This is proof that you have survived, you have experienced the test of the "organization" to prove yourself.

"Kitsune..." You muttered in front of the mirror, code name, the name you used when you were a ninja. But now you are Y/N L/N, just an ordinary woman with ninja abilities.

The Batcave at this time—

The Batcave is Batman's command center, where he monitors all crisis points in Gotham City and the world. It is usually located beneath Wayne Manor and is part of a large group of underground caves.

Batman is replaying the surveillance video with Robin to see the footage of you and conversation. In order to catch your clues and find out your purpose, no clue can be easily let go.

Alfred came to the Batcave and saw the two of them busy watching the video. He carefully made two cups of hot drinks and placed it in front of them. "Master Bruce, Master Damian, take a rest."

Batman stopped the work, leaned back the chair, gently massaged his eyes with his hands. When he saw the hot drink in front of him, he took it up and took a sip. "Alfred, what do you think of the people in the surveillance video?"

Alfred looked at the screen, put his hand on chin and rubbed it gently. You didn't attack them, nor did you commit a crime. You just sat on the edge and stared blankly. "Hmm, it's harmless at the moment."

Robin finished the hot drink and asked Alfred for a refill. Alfred filled the cup with the hot drink and handed it to him again. Robin took the cup and complained to the big screen, "I will definitely catch her next time."

Alfred looked at Master Bruce who was distressed and Master Damian who was complaining. He thought about what he could do to help. He suddenly suggested, "Why not ask Master Tim?"

Batman looked at Alfred. It was indeed a good suggestion. Perhaps Tim had a way to solve this problem. After all, it was he who deduced that Batman was Bruce Wayne. He had a strong reasoning ability. "I will contact Tim later.

Robin listened to what Batman and Alfred said then left the Batcave with a "TT". Alfred put the cup back on the tray prepared to leave. "Master Bruce, I want to ask you. Why didn't you take her down on the spot?"

Batman thought about it realized he could have taken her down, as Robin was also there at the time. But facing you who showed no hostility and showed no intention to escape or kill, he was confused. "I want to confirm who she is? Is she righteous or evil. That's all."

Before leaving, Alfred bowed to Batman's back. "I understand, Master Bruce. I'll leave first."

After Alfred left, Batman was left alone in the Batcave. He thought about Alfred's suggestion and called Red Robin who was on patrol. "I need your help with something."

Red Robin stayed in the alley talk to Batman and understand the ins and outs of the matter. He vaguely guessed he was distressed and confused. "I understand. See you in the afternoon ."

After saying that, he hung up the call. When Red Robin left the alley and went to a higher place to continue patrolling, he ran into Nightwing who was talking gossip and Red Hood was having snacks.

Nightwing waved to Red Robin and invited him to have supper together. Red Hood took off his helmet started to eat hamburgers, and handed Red Robin two fries, "I'll treat you."

Red Robin looked at the two fries in Red Hood's hand and speechless. As the "older brother", he only shared fries with his "younger brother", but he still took it and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Hey hey hey." Nightwing handed Red Robin a bag with hot coffee, hamburgers and fries. "I didn't forget to buy your share." After saying that, he continued to eat.

Red Hood finished eating, crumpled the wrapping paper into a ball, threw it into the bag, and then found a trash can to throw it away later. He opened the cap of the soda bottle and started to drink. When he was halfway through, he put down and ask "Bruce looking for you?"

Red Robin, who was drinking coffee and addicted to caffeine, put down the cup immediately after hearing it. He looked at the other two, and nodded after a moment of silence, "Yes, meet at the manor in the afternoon ."

After listening to Red Robin, Nightwing nodded to indicate that he could, Red Hood drank up the soda and threw it into the bag, "I can't. My motorcycle needs maintenance tomorrow, don't count me in."

"Are you serious?" Nightwing asked him seriously. After all, he didn't want Bruce and Jason to have a hard time. Although the two did have bad memories in the past, Jason was very defensive against people, and that incident also left a shadow on his life.

Red Hood stood up, wiped his mouth, put on his helmet, took a bag of garbage, and held the door handle to indicate that he was leaving, leaving Red Robin and Nightwing sitting there. He thought about it and said, "Let's see, if I finish my work early." Then he left.

Nightwing knew Bruce and Jason had a rough time. The past experience and feelings led to the current collapse, but sometimes, both sides had mutual trust and cooperation.

Seeing Red Robin's self-blaming expression, Nightwing put his hand on his shoulder to comfort. Tim became Robin after Jason died. During that time, everyone had a hard time, including Tim, of course.

Being Robin is a very proud thing. It is very cool to fight criminals with Batman. Of course, there are always crises, just like Jason's death, which has become one of everyone's shadows.

"Although that guy is bad-mouthed, he is still trustworthy." Nightwing comforted the frustrated Red Robin, hoping he and Jason would not have a quarrel again.

"I know, thank you, Dick." Red Robin smiled again and continued to drink coffee. The caffeine he couldn't quit became a source of energy, making him more motivated and confident.

Do you hope there will be Chapter 2?

Alfred- Ten duel commandments

Cass-The reynolds pamphlet

Steph: The Adams administration

[armed-with-a-waffle-iron]

The Batman: Reborn era was missing more of Helena Bertinelli being an aunt-ified older sister to the younger Bat kids.

Steph would have a similarly violent, stubborn, scrappy, bruce-hating, rough-childhood-having, purple-clad hard hitter to project onto and be competitive with and have unhealthy complexes about.

Tim would have both a stone cold shoulder to cry on and another loved one to fall out with! Helena enters her apartment one day to Tim bleeding out on her couch and Lucius Fox’s daughter rummaging through her fridge. “Tim said you could help…and that you have food.”

Helena could introduce Cass to Renee Montoya for an adventure and Cass could go a whole arc convinced Helena and Renee were dating. Idk, maybe she never realises they aren’t too.

And imagine being Damian; your three bisexual-sorta-stand-in-older-siblings-turned-parentified-as-fuck-guardians were also in a love triangle that was an actually triangle and just not two lines, AND this is your introduction to non-assassin human society. Also Helena’s a cat person.

And maybe when tensions reach a boiling point, Helena, Babs and Dick can have a massive argument and all fuck.

“Red is Hood’s Favorite Color”

—Excerpt from my gift to therandomsith for the @valentines-core-exchange

Twisting his head to glance over his shoulder, he saw the man grinning brightly as his arms snaked around Jason’s chest. “Dick…” Jason growled threateningly, shifting his weight in an attempt to knock the man off of him.

“Jaybird let me go with you! We haven’t spent time together in forever!” Dick whined, shifting his weight to match Jason’s changes so he didn’t fall. Forget having jelly bones, that man was a fucking spider monkey. He was not giving an almost thirty-year-old a damn piggy back ride.

“I’m heading to work ,” he grunted. Grabbing Dick’s arm, he pushed all of his strength into shoving his older brother away to the side. Dick yelped as his center of gravity shifted and Jason smiled as he heard a satisfying thunk hit the ground. He turned as the other kids began laughing at their older brother's fate.

“Little Wing!” Dick whined, sitting on the floor pouting up at him. Jason smirked and flipped off his brother, moving to walk away.

“Later Dickiebird, I've got shit to do and I've been stuck with your annoying ass too-- agh !” Jason didn't get far, yelling when he felt a vice grip on his ankle before he went tumbling to the ground. He grunted as he landed, helmet digging into his face from his new and unwelcome position on his stomach. He ignored the kids’ renewed snickering as he reached up and pressed the hidden latches for his helmet, yanking it off and tossing it to the side.

“What the FUCK?” He growled, twisting onto his ass and glaring at his brother who looked like the cat who ate the canary. “Do you want me to kick your ass Big Bird? Think it'll be funny then?” He tried pulling his foot out of Dick's grip as he threatened him, but the man wouldn't let go. “Shit, I've got a meeting to get to dumbass! Let go of me!”

“Let me come to your meeting with you and I will.”

Jason stopped struggling, staring at Dick with a look of disbelief on his face. He waited for a punchline, but after a moment he realized there wasn't one. With a snort, he reached for his helmet and palmed it. “Hell fucking no, this ain't no field trip.”

“Come on Little Wing, I've been to your meetings before!” Dick pleaded, crawling across the floor to wrap his arms around Jason's shoulders in a hug.

Squinting his eyes at the man, he quietly wondered how far his audacity could reach. “Once, officially. Any other times you may have snuck in were to spy and you got your ass handed to you afterwards when I hunted you down.”

“Now, doesn't that just sound like a lot of work Jay? How about we just take it easy on you and make this official invite number two?” Dick sent him a winning smile, eyes crinkling at the edges like he just offered Jason free reign to eat his share of Alfred's sweets.

This is why he hated coming around his siblings.

Flowers floating in the dark void au

Pirithous, in the underworld ready to yoink Wally from Dick: hey Hades, nice to see you here.

Dick, who knows, smiling: yes, I was hearing you two were coming, please I made a feast, eat.

Theseus: cool!

Pirithous: nice.

Sit down, both wrapped in their chair by snakes, both panicking.

Those idiots: what's happening!?

Dick: you think I don't know you are hear to still my husband? You shall consider yourself lucky I don't end you where you stand. *Snaps his fingers and furies attack the two, as he leaves to go back to his office where Wally is there eating a pomegranate*

Wally, looks confused: what's the screaming I hear?

Dick, smiling genuinely this time: oh nothing, just some idiots getting punished.

Wally: ah, so are you free? I have this date idea, there's this field of flowers it's perfect for a picnic!

Dick: I'm free now, let's go.

New Chapter - The May Queen

“Harley?” I asked, incredulous.

“Heya Bird Boy! I was startin to worry I’d gotten the wrong place!” she said, grinning.

I frowned, confused, “What are you doing here?”

She gave an exaggerated sigh and swung her bat around from resting on her shoulder to resting on the ground, half leaning on it, “Obviously, I’m here to help ya make Ives see reason.”

“Harley…” Calla hesitated, looking conflicted, “Look, it’s no secret that you love Ivy, and I appreciate you wanting to help - although I’m not entirely sure how you knew where to be - but the thing is, we might not be able to help her. She’s- She’s in a bad way, and there’s a chance she might not be the woman you love anymore.”

“Ives was there for me even when I thought Mista J was worth wasting air on,” she replied with a shrug, “I’m not gonna abandon her now just cuz she went a lil cuckoo.”

“She’s gone more than a little cuckoo, Harley,” I said, trying not to let myself get too frustrated, “And I’d actually really like to know how you knew we’d be here.”

“Oh, that’s easy,” she grinned, looking over to a now slightly guilty looking Babs, “My bestie told me. Hi bestie!”

“Bestie?” Calla asked, incredulous.

“Harley deserves to be here,” Babs insisted, blushing, “Wouldn’t you want to be here, if it were me?”

“Don’t worry, I promise not to break any of your rules,” Harley said, grinning, “Besides, you know you could use a hand. Come on Bird Boy, lemme help.”

“That’s Thorne’s call,” I sighed. Harley wasn’t half bad, honestly. She was just… A lot. And more than a bit of a loose canon. Still, Babs had a point.

“Against my better judgement, and only because Batgirl is almost always right,” Calla said, biting her lip, “Here’s the plan-”

Harley Quinn Dump

[suzetonic]

If Batman does appear in MAWS, I want Bruce to play up the billionaire playboy bullshit to an annoying level. Just so the reveal is funnier.

Like, we're introduced to Batman doing his World's Greatest Detective stuff in Metropolis for some reason or other. Superman meets him and he's unsure about Batman's affiliation. He worries that Batman could be working with the General. He doesn't trust him.

Then Clark goes to some charity event hosted by Wayne Enterprises as a journalist, where we're introduced to Bruce Wayne. Clark just thinks he's a careless rich airhead and doesn't like him at all. He's annoying, he seems full of himself, he seems more concerned with the appetizers and hot ladies than the charity itself.

Then some villains attack the event and of course Bruce runs away, only for Batman to appear and fight off the attackers. Stuff happens, maybe Batman saves Lois or Jimmy or some other civilians, Clark gets confirmation that Batman is a good person. So Clark gets curious about the identity of this new superhero. He uses his x-ray vision and gets the shock of his fucking life when the calm, collected, stoic Batman turns out to be airhead billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.

Clark has a hard time taking Batman seriously after that.
