DC CHARACTERS IN SOUL EATER UNIVERSE :

Weapons and meisters duos! :

BART AND CISSIE

WEPON - Bart

MEISTER - Cissie

EXPLANATION - just cuz.. ? but for real their connection is so strong that I feel like Barts physical weapon form wouldn’t really matter in the long run. I think that their soul resonance /connection would be so strong that they would rely most heavily on their combined energy that they would be heavily experienced in witch Hunter and Keishin Hunter (like spirit and stein)

JON AND DAMIAN

WEAPON : Jon

MEISTER : Damian

EXPLANATION : because they would literally be dead if it was the other way around 😻😻

JASON AND ROY

WEPON: jason

MEISTER: Roy

EXPLANATION: “ a weapon should always be ready to sacrifice themselves for their meister” and I feel like Jason would just take that more seriously than Roy🥲 but Jason will definitely turn into various guns or sum shit 😍

KON AND TIM

WEAPON : Kon

MEISTER : Timmy

EXPLANATION : I truly believe that Kon would be such a powerful weapon, but only with the help of Tim , Tim would make it his personal duty to make him a death scythe and my God he’d be so successful, they even each other out so well that their soul residence would be crazy

KARA AND BABS

WEAPON: Babs

MEISTER: Kara

EXPLANATION: literally no other reason than the fact that it would be so fucking funny to watch babs freak out over Kara throwing her all over the place and completely ignoring whatever plan babs told her to do kind of kinda like blackstar and Tsubaki type of thing

(I feel like Kara could definitely be half which half meister if we’re trying to let her physical strength come into play)

BOOSTER AND BLUE

WEPON: Blue beetle

MEISTER: Booster

EXPLANATION: because oh my gosh, that would be such a cute concept. Boosters need to show off would go perfectly and the fact that he’d be a big shiny weapon of some sort. Blue would make a perfect Meister for him because they even each other out and he would know how to deal perfectly with his energy making their soul residence so fucking powerful.

HAL AND BARRY

WEPON

> BOTH ASSFF

MEISTER

EXPLANATION : I.am.dead.convinced. that they would both be half weapon and Meister. I think they would fight like Lizz and Patty could where they would alternate between meister and weapon form and they would do it so smoothly that it would just work so well. and don’t get me started on their soul resonance,that shit would be so powerful. it would probably be terribly annoying to fight these two because every time the enemy would strike they would just trade forms .

If yes then LMK who you’d wanna see!!!

Cissie King-Jones

I have an little essay I wanna write. But before that I want to do a brief history on the character Cissie King-Jones AKA Arrowette.

Content: Talks of child abuse

Cissie King-Jones is the daughter of Bonnie King and Bernell Jones. As a child Cissie's mother, Bonnie, was forced into archery by her mother.

She eventually tried to be a hero like Green Arrow or Speedy however she wasn't very good at it however while being a hero she met Cissie's father. Bonnie eventually had to give up archery after developing carpal tunnel. She settled down with Cissie's father and had Cissie. However when Cissie was 5 her father ended up passing away because of eating bad shellfish. Due to his passing Bonnie got a lot of insurance money from her husband's death and she used this money to force Cissie to become the hero she could never be.

For years she forced Cissie to learn many skills and techniques to become a hero. To become Arrowette. Thankfully for Cissie while being Arrowette with her mother her yelling and berating her she met Bart Allen, AKA Impulse, and Max Crandall, AKA Max Mercury. And after seeing the way Bonnie treated Cissie they call Child Protective Services and Bonnie ends up losing custody of Cissie.

After this she lived in an all girl's boarding school called Saint Elias. While talking to her guidance councilor she gets the idea to be Arrowette again to prove to her mother she'd be a better hero than she would be with Bonnie's "help".

After this she joins the team Young Justice as their archer and friend. She especially becomes good friends with Cassie Sandsmark, Wonder Girl.

This however changes in issue #15 of Young Justice. The guidance councilor at her school that Cissie had become very close to was killed by her Ex-boyfriend. Cissie hunts him down in the forest for revenge and almost kills him but is stopped in the last second by Superboy.

After this event she's horrified by what she almost did and this event combined with seeing young kids imitate her when she stopped a thief at a mall, she decides to stop being a hero and to quit Young Justice.

Which she firmly does and while she says close to the team the rest of the run and even helps them every now and then with huge emergencies, she's firm in never becoming Arrowette ever again.

So yeah that's a brief history of Cissie King-Jones. There's more to her story than just this but I wanted to make a basic brief history of who she is for a little essay I'm working on. Cissie is a great character. She's a good example of someone leaving the superhero game and staying firm on not wanting to come back. I do hope to see more Cissie in the future which based off future Green Arrow issues is going to happen. I'm excited for that!

[isfjmel-phleg]

To understand the character of Bart Allen, it is helpful to compare him to his young superhero contemporaries of the 1990s. Bart, although from a far future, embodied what a "millennial" superhero could be. In that period, numerous young, mostly male, heroes were given their own (often short-lived) series [...]. Of those characters, Superboy, Impulse, and Robin were both the closest in age and were launched in the pages of A-list superheroes Superman, Flash, and Batman. Toward the end of the decade, in 1998, the three would form the team "Young Justice" along with Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark), Arrowette (Cissie King-Jones)--a character first introduced in the pages of Impulse but loosely associated with Green Arrow--and "the Secret," a phantasmal girl of mysterious origins. The gender-balanced teenaged team followed a long tradition of successful teenaged superhero groups in the DC Universe, a tradition going back to the Legion of Super-Heroes and the original Teen Titans. Curiously, with the exception of Batman who was a more hands-on mentor to Robin, the superheroes who would have been their adult mentors, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Arrow took a more hands-off approach with this new batch of teen heroes, often finding separate mentors for each of the teens. In this way, this younger generation of heroes differed from their Gen-X counterparts, the original Teen Titans, claiming more autonomy early on in their superhero careers.

[ms-musers]

Young Justice 80 Page Giant (1999) my beloved.

[nightwingbb]

i asked my friend who knows nothing about comics and superheroes to tell me what she thinks some dc comics characters’ names are. this is how that went:

[onelittlesparkx]

BART ALLEN | IMPULSE

bart: impulsive (general)

bart: im only metahuman (visage)

bart: it's scavenger rights (aesthetic)

bart: dont forget about me (video)

bart: so crash (live action)

bart: opps spoilers (young justice)

bart: young just us (comics)

bart: totally feeling the mode (drabbles)

bart: totally feeling the aster (replies)

bart: the ghost of you (barry allen)

bart: impulsive arrow (cissie kingjones)

bart: in a zetaflash (eduardo dorado jr)

bart: our love of chicken whizzies (jaime reyes)

bart: you dont have the allen family eyes (wally west)

[oifaaa]

The Secret Sibling Alliance (of which no one knows who the true founders are, but there's strong suspicion it's the speedsters) consists of:

Damian and Respawn

Bart (Impulse) and Thad (Inertia)

Dick and the Melinda Zucco (had to look her up because her name eludes me as most "Secret Sibling" reveals tend to do)

Kon and Match (because why not)

And if we want to stretch it, Connor Hawke and Cissie King-Jones, because Arrowette's mom implied she had a thing with Oliver's Green Arrow resulting in Cissie. But that's more speculation than DC's recent, "SURPRISE YOU HAVE A REAL BROTHER/SISTER"

Give me found family any day. Unrelated, but you make me smile when you cross my dash, even just seeing your icon makes me happy. Drink some water and take care of yourself!

Well secret siblings are a type of found family in the sense that one person found out they secretly had a biological relation they never knew about, omgosh just realised the next dc voices is gonna be dc voices: secret siblings isn't it

BBB’s Tag Guide

I use a lot of acronyms or specific tags in my posts. They are for my convenience when searching through my blog so that I can more quickly find specific information, specifically character interactions - NOTE: these are not ship tags. 

The tags should follow the this format: #character1.character2. The order of the characters is usually by age (oldest to youngest), but sometimes by the prevalence of the character within the post, or by their general popularity. If a character is interacting with a group as a whole, the tag format will be #character.groupabbreviation. 

Below is a list of abbreviations that I use for specific characters/groups. Their corresponding hero names and alter-egos are what they will most commonly be found in my tags. This is not a comprehensive list of all characters that are mentioned on this blog, for specific characters, search them by their full name.

R - Robin (Damian Wayne)

Sp - Spoiler (Stephanie Brown)

For characters that have had multiple hero names:

the format of their posts as them as a specific character follows this format: #characterfirstname!title. For example, if you are looking for posts specifically of Dick Grayson as Robin instead of Nightwing you would use the tag #dick!robin.

For character description posts:

the description of the character comes before their full name. Example - #bi!tim drake, #emo!bruce Wayne

Some other fun, random tags I use often for specific types of content: 

harassing bruce wayne is a valid pastime - people making bruce’s life hard on purpose

Cissie king-Jones (Artowette): trans/lesbian

Bart Allen (impulse): gay/asexual

Barbara Gordon (Oracle): queer

Kon-el (superboy): Bisexual/non-Binary (he/they)

Please give Wonder Woman a girlfriend. This isn’t a request. It’s a demand. Not that you have to have dated the same gender to be bi or pan or whatever but for diversity sake you made her bisexual. Do something about it. Honestly.

Harper Row (Bluebird) [BoPs, YJ, Third Gen TTs]

Cullen Row (Oracle Beta) [TTs and NWJs]

Alina Wayne (Oracle Gamma) [Sixth Gen TTs and BBoPs]

Luke Fox (Batwing) [TTs]

Timothy Fox (Vulture) [Seventh Gen TTs]

etc.

NOTES: i thought it’d be cool to have a little thing with Babs, Cullen, Maps and Alina where they’re all “Oracles”, so that’s why they’re Oracle Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Omega. Also, Carrie, Nell and Tiff were all “Batgirls-in-Training” before they got their ‘official’ Batgirl names. Both Helena-Huntresses exist in this universe, yes, as Helena Wayne crossed over from Earth Never-Two And Irey and Jai’s superhero names together make Hypervelocity, which I thought was super cool! :D

[batboyblog]

DC Team titles I’d publish

So I did a post about the Batman titles I’d love to write/have DC publish so I thought maybe I’d do more? expand into Team books I’d like to see/do.

Justice League:

Earths greatest heroes, here to defend the world and sometimes the universe from evil. centering around the core 7 (Batman, Superman,Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and the Martian Manhunter) the League gets technical support from Oracle. In a controversial move, distrusted by some, Batman brings Dick Grayson in to serve as the permanent vice-chairman. A rotating cast of DC B-list characters and new characters. regularly guest strings from JL reserve members, particularly, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Firestorm, Hawkman, Atom, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. Yearly team up with the JSA for Thanksgiving

JSA:

The oldest and largest team. Generally no single issue will focus on the whole team but rather spot light one character or a relationship between two characters (maybe 3). Stories will cover WWII generation heroes (Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, Ted Grant, Queen Hippolyta, and Carter Hall) facing the passing of time, the changing world and the nature of their own long lives. Teen heroes, Courtney Whitmore and Jakeem Thunder trying to find their feet and be young people in the oldest team. reformed villains, Black Adam and Icicle fighting to win over former enemies and right past wrongs. Legacy heroes like Sandy Hawkins, Rick Tyler, Grant Emerson, Albert Rothstein, and Michael Holt trying to live up to their names. And misfits like Power Girl and Captain Marvel who aren’t totally sure they belong, but also with a feel maybe thats true everywhere. 

Young, Just Us:

Every parent looks for way to entertain their kids and get them out of the house, doubly so for a super parent. So when Batman promises his (youngest) son Damian a super secret Justice League base for his own team, Robin might have had vision of glory, but Batman was thinking more a club house. Robin is joined in the run down former first JLA headquarters in Happy Harbor by Jon Kent (Superboy), Jai and Iris West (the speed twins), Lian Harper (Speedy), Cerdian (Aqua-boy), Robby Long (Darkstar), Mar’i Grayson (Nightstar), Luke McDunnagh  (Offspring). Damian is brimming with enthusiasm to whip this rag tag team of tweens into a fighting force, but his friends are more pumped about having a club house. 

Super Sons: United Against the World:

When your parents are the most powerful heroes in the world the pressure can be high. Centering on Damian Wayne, Jon Kent, and their friends Billy Batson and the fast talking show off wannabe Romeo, son of Zatanna and John Constantine, Zachary Zatara. regular guest stars, Colin Wilkes and Freddy Freeman. Adventures squeezed in between sleep overs, movie marathons, games of truth or dare, and just trying to figure out how to be an average middle schooler and have a cape. 

Teen Titans:

They’re not kids! they’re responsible young adults! well kinda. With their very own shiny new Titans tower in San Fransisco Bay, Tim Drake (Robin) is out to prove his team can totally handle being solo heroes without adult oversight, but his team mates sure don’t make it easy. Joined by Kon-el (Superboy) Cassie Sandsmark (Wonder Girl), Bart Allen (Impulse), Wally West (Kid Flash), Cissie King-Jones (Arrowette), Jackson Hyde (Aqualad), Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle), Conner Hawk (Green Arrow) and Miguel Barragan (Bunker). More Young teenage heroes come and go as the Teen Titans struggle to save the world, be taken seriously, deal with romance and teenage drama, and manage to do their homework.

The Titans:

Old sidekicks never fade away. Now in their late 20s and early 30s the New Titan Titans gang is reunited. Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Roy Harper (Arsenal), Donna Troy, Wally West (The Flash), Garth (Tempest), Rachel Roth (Raven), Victor Stone (Cyborg), Koriand'r (Starfire) and Garfield Logan (Beast Boy). They’re older but maybe not that much wiser, out of their Titans Tower in New York City they fight crime, save the world, and struggle to deal with parenthood, and adulting. Joined by an ever changing cast of experienced heroes their own age (Jessie Quick, Flamebird) old allies (Pantha, Red Star) and heroes in their late teens and early 20s who need a little bit of guidance. Can the team negotiate their often rocky history and stay together? or will the history of relationships, betrayal and drama rip apart their makeshift family all over again? 

The Doom Patrol:

In the 1950s Cliff Steele was a stunt man and race driver, till it all went horribly wrong. From 1956 till 1964 he was Robotman, a makeshift hero on a makeshift team. in 1964 it all went horribly wrong, and Cliff went into safe mode. Cliff slept a dreamless sleep for 54 years till he was awoken by a band of misfit teenage meta humans on the run. Everyone Cliff has ever known is dead, and he’s a rusting hulk that might be obsolete in the world of iPhones. Cliff might not understand the brave new world but he’s gonna stick up for his new teenaged charges, punch back as hard as he gets hit, and maybe just maybe be a hero one more time. 

The New Teen Titans: Revisited:

set in the early to mid 1980s a look back at untold stories of the New Teen Titans era. Set in 1980s NYC deals with story lines the original book wasn’t able to, like Jericho’s struggle with his sexuality and coming out as gay, Roy Harper’s struggle with drug use, etc. showing off an optimistic time of big hair and flashy hero costumes while addressing the problems of the 1980s from drugs to AIDS, all while saving the world. only semi-canon so characters can grow and change and not be bond by the results in the main timeline, maybe it all happened and just got reconed.

Title:  Stars Unearth Your Fires (Ch 2/?)

Fandom: DCU, Teen Titans, Red Robin (preboot)     

Rating:  PG  | Words: 1200 approx | a03 link    

Summary: Tim Drake never thought of himself as a troublemaker as far as Robins go. But a passing accusation quickly escalates into a case of stolen memories, technologically backwards clues from his past self, interdimensional hijinks, reflections on the good old days, and possibly the rekindling of a foregone romance. Eventually Tim/??? Mystery ship!

A/N: I ask that any fashion nerds reading this forgive me for my fake fashion week plot device. Lets just say the DCU has extra fashion weeks bc magic and leave it at that. Thanks again to @kiragecko for the beta!

"Wait, dude. Scrappy Doo hacked your diary?"

"It wasn't a diary, Kon. But, kinda."

"A lockable device on which you record your private thoughts you share with no one? Soundslikeadiary,man. Youshouldembraceit."

"I could repeat lectures verbatim from Diana about refusing to be shamed for traditionally feminine things that are actually emotionally reinforcing, but I think I'll spare you since you're not fooling anybody."

He could have come alone, but he had returned their texts on a whim, and when they had learned he was going to scavenge their old HQ at Happy Harbor... well, there was no stopping the remnant of Young Justice otherwise known as his best friends.

"It was more like a smartwatch jam packed with ridiculous hardware and old ipod levels of memory that I had filled with work reminders, but whatever."

Cassie and Bart had a point. But the truth was, the closest thing he really had to a diary was the dozens of hand-written letters he had written essentially screaming at his father. Letters he had tossed in the fire before he could be tempted to actually leave them where the (now dead, now lost) man could find them.

But some things remained too raw to share.

"Hey," Cassie was the first to touch her toe down on the threshold (Normally, Bart would beat her, but he had allowed himself to be a bit distracted, fully zipping around a couple laps to check out external changes).

Cassie started entering the old security codes without a hitch. She was not even thinking about it, and it gave Tim a tiny surprising warm fuzzy tingle in the chest, "Damian didn't use anything in it against you, did he? Trying to dig up crap on--"

Tim allowed himself a chuckle, "No. Assuming he did manage to read any of my entries, I would have paid money to watch him try to figure out what any of it meant."

"Oooh," Bart zipped back, and darned if he wasn’t talking faster and faster, allowing his own nostalgic excitement to kick in, "Did you write it in a code?"

"Sort of."

Kon was floating by the graffiti wall. It didn’t matter how many times they cleaned it, "Hanson Sucks" would always reappear as if by magic. Tim used to suspect Bart solely, but looking back, (and looking at Kon's face now) he suspected a little differently.  

The guy's grin has a bit of the ol' Kid when he glanced over his shoulder, "You didn't just write it in code, you wrote it in SLANG, didn't you. Yes, you did."

Tim snorted. But denied nothing. There was no point.

"Bet it was like 90% rap references."

"Ooh, don't underestimate Tim's eclectic-ness, Bart. There was no doubt a healthy dose of Enya lyrics entwined in there."

Bart's nose scrunched, "Enya? Seriously, Tim?"

"Hey," Cassie interjected, "I like Enya."

"You also like country music and boy bands dangerously similar to Hanson. It's okay, Cass. Weloveyouanyway."

The rules for Gotham and his team had always been different.  While clever hiding spaces had been a practically intellectual game in his home city, sometimes the trick to hiding something in YJ HQ was to just place it somewhere really dumb.

“The girl’s locker room, Rob? Really?”

“You never looked for any of my toys here, so clearly, it worked.”

The locker combination was Steph’s birthday. Something his teammates had no reason to know and something Batman and Nightwing might overlook. Or at least, they would have overlooked it back then. Maybe he should change it. Did it matter? Would he ever have cause to use this thing again? It was worth thinking about, but not something for just yet.

The lock released with an obnoxious clack and the door swung open with a creak. There were some things in his life that Tim kept meticulously clean, but no locker had ever been on the list. His crumpled extra Robin uniform tumbled out along with a collection of scratched CD’s, multi-sided dice, hand-drawn diagrams of team formations covered over by Bart’s doodling, and a cracked baseball bat.

At least his uniform had been through the wash before he stuffed it in there. Small favors from his former self. Tim carefully unrolled the Kevlar cape, tumbling his old wrist computer into his palm.

He would need to replace the battery. Specifically, remove the battery, and carefully charge it, then place it back into the device. He was not going to risk synching the thing—even to the old YJ mainframe—by plugging it into the computer directly. Maybe he was being paranoid. Hm. Not the worst thing to be.

“So…” Kon interrupted, “You gonna tell us what’s up?”

His first—heh—impulse was to be cryptic, but he swallowed it down. These were his friends.

“I was singled out by those Gatekeepers. I want to know why. When I checked the dates, I realized all of our computer records were compromised. I think… I think a more personal record might have escaped their notice.”

A moment of silence. He would have enjoyed the rarity of quiet in the old YJ cave of all things, but they were looking at him with a high-alert concern that was on the edge of tipping into horror.

“Woah. The bat-computers were compromised? Holy Hera, Tim.”

“DoyouthinkitwastheGatekeepers? You do. You totallythinkitwastheGatekeepers.”

Tim nodded, “Yeah. I do.”

“So what, man? You think they waved their triple-joined finger and just…?” Kon waved his own hand.

“Erased a week—maybe more—of events that happened while our reality was colliding with something outside of our own multiverse. And in a room with you, the Flashes, Booster Gold, and Guy Gardner; the person they expected to cause trouble was me.”

“And you can’t remember because they probably also erased our memories.” Cassie inferred.

Kon nodded until Tim’s earlier comment sank home, “Hey wait, whattaya mean ‘with me’?”

Bart giggled, “Oh, as if you don’t remember what you were like back then.”

Kon sighed as Bart and then Cassie joined in on ruffling his hair. They had to be fast. And reach up on their tip toes to do it. But Kon let them for a good half of a second.

“Ok. Point taken.”

The wait for the charger to hit green felt like an eternity. Plenty of time for the ambiance of the old cave to slip from nostalgia to haunting. Bart had opened up an entire closet of junk—chemicals, paint, mechanical insects—that he had apparently collected with Greta. Kon had dusted off Anita’s old masseuse table, only to find that no one was really in the mood to hop on it. Cassie found an old set of brass knuckles that belonged to Slo-bo, but quietly set them down when she noticed their discoloration was due to dried blood.

Nobody messed with the dusty arrows kept in hopeful little spaces. Nobody looked at the archer’s targets. At least, no one looked when others were looking.

Tim sighed and watched as Cassie floated around, fidgeting. He remembered how hard she had clung to the idea of Cissie returning to the hero life, terrified that her best friend would grow distant as a result. Tim had… been more optimistic. At the time.

He knew where their old friends were. He knew Greta Hayes was a freshman in college now. That they girl they had once called Secret had impressed the entire faculty of St. Elias with her ability to catch up and surpass academic basics. He knew that while she excelled in her math and science classes, she enjoyed the chaos and the friendships she found in her drama electives. He knew because her teachers kept good notes that were easy to hack.

He knew Anita took odd jobs to support the two tiny children that were her de-aged parents. She would put on her old Empress costume on occasion, when crime had the gaul to come to her doorstep, but lived quietly in Louisiana for the most part. Supergirl had been the last hero to come into contact with her, and told him all about it.

None of them had really had the chance to feel close to Ray, but Tim knew that didn’t make them special. Ray Terrill’s profile with the Justice League displayed a new team every year. He had run with reserve units, the JSA, Freedom Fighters, and more.

Then there was Cissie, Arrowette, the girl who took them by all by surprise once every few months as her face appeared on a cereal box, in an energy drink commercial, or on a motivational poster in a sporting goods store. Because nothing sold that stuff better than an Olympic archer who had looks as well as accuracy.

It wasn't a painful thing for Tim personally. Hell, there had been a time when he thought he was headed for a similar path, a time when he thought retirement for himself was a strong possibility, just a few years away. But he knew better now. And he knew that Bart always bought things with her name or her face on them, but didn't actually look at them. And that when Cassie heard her voice blaring from the TV, she would stare mournfully at an old number in her phone before putting it away unused. As much as they would wish otherwise, Cissie King-Jones had drifted away from them.

Not that Tim didn’t also fit the drifter profile to an extent. The thought hit him hard. He hadn’t been to the Tower in over a two months, but like a dog with a bone, the Titans had refused to let him stay out of touch. Even when Dick had the bright idea of sending Damian to the tower, to try to get him to interact with ‘younger’ heroes—because apparently Dick could’t be bothered to remember that he was sending an eleven year old to socialize with a crew that no longer possessed a member under the age of sixteen—his friends had reached out, insisting that Red Robin was the only Robin on their roster.

It was humbling, and it put a scratch in this throat and a watery heat behind his eyes that—

BEEP!

Charging complete.

Bart zipped toward the outlet, and hopped on his toes while waiting for Tim to unplug the device. He felt Conner and Cassie join in hovering behind him as he began to skim through the files. There was only one that matched what they were looking for, with its simple text repeated in the space-tab code.

Go 2 most romantic city on July 15th

“That’s it?” blurted Kon and Bart at once.

“Fashion show?” Cassie scratched her head.

Tim sighed, “I was watching out for key word triggers. I think.”

Bart frowned, “Like, if  you actually said anything close to what you meant, you were worried the Gatekeepers or whoever would notice and erase everything like they did with the Batcomputer?”

Tim nodded, “The ‘reminders’ are literally reminders. Straightforward intel would be too dangerous.”

“‘Cause God forbid your lil’ bitty bat-self actually tell your future self what was going on.” Kon huffed impatiently.

Cassie elbowed him in the ribs.

Kon hissed. “Sorry! Too dangerous. I get it.”

Cassie raised her brows and let it go. “So, what are you going to do?”

Tim shrugged, “Do what they tell me to and hope they help me remember, I guess.”

Bart looked up from his phone, “Better hope the ‘reminders’ don’t have to go in order, Tim.”

Tim winced, “Why?”

Cassie looked over Bart’s shoulder at his screen, “Because the only major summer fashion demonstration in California hits the runway in about 12 hours. Woah.”

Tim powered down the wrist tech. He didn’t like the idea of going out of order, but only two of the reminders had actual dates attached. At least he had opened the file right before July. Small favors.

“Fine. Mall first. Grab some food and rest and meet back with me in—“

“Only if you do,” Cassie’s eyes were narrowed.

“Yeah, man. No caffeinated all-nighters.”

“Kon and I will tuckyouinifwehaveto.”

Tim snorted, “Fine.

It messed with his plans, but if he was being honest, Cass was in town, and Steph had mentioned to Dick in the cave that she was done with her freshman comp essay. Red Robin wasn’t strictly necessary when Blackbat and Batgirl were around to help out.

He did his best to take it as the impromptu bit of fortune it was.

He didn’t let it hurt.
