prompt 03: angry colors

inspired by this post abt dick

tbh idr like this that much but it was a real big brain itch so i thought i'd air it out

-

Dick came back to his apartment much later than he intended, losing track of time while he was tracking a lead he had gotten for a case. He sighed as he slipped through the window of his apartment, taking off his domino ready to face the mess he knew he had left the apartment as. But when he turned into the kitchen the dishes that had been piling up in the sink were gone, and the sink was even cleaned and shining in a way Dick hadn’t seen it ever do. Instinctively he checked the cabinets to check if he had been robbed, but the dishes were inside, clean, dry and put away.

Confused, Dick opened the fridge to get a cold glass of water only belatedly remembering he had forgotten to fill the jug up in his rush to get to work that morning. But there it was, full of water, the frost around the glass providing evidence it had been in there for at least a few hours. Maybe past-Dick had done him a favor that present-Dick had forgotten about. 

Gulping down the cold water, Dick headed towards the bathroom to freshen up and change into comfy sweats. The bathroom was through the living room, where he knew he would find a tower of pizza boxes weeks old, and crumbs would crunch under his feet. There was a pile of dirty laundry that was left in his bathroom floor that he should probably take care of, but Dick couldn’t find the energy in himself to put in the effort. 

“Maybe tomorrow.” Dick mumbled to himself for the 5th time that week, as he trudged through his apartment. His crystal clean apartment. There were vacuum marks on the carpet, no pizza boxes, and the pillows on the couch had been arranged and fluffed. The flowers Kory had given him were pruned and placed beautifully in a glass vase he knew hadn’t been there that morning. The TV was on, he noticed, his current show ready to play at the press of a button, and remote placed on the corner of the sofa he always sat at. 

“What is happening?” Dick asked himself out loud, befuddled. He checked the room for cameras or listening devices. Nothing. 

Alfred wasn’t the type to drop by for a surprise visit and leave without telling Dick. 

The bathroom was also a victim to whatever happened to the rest of his apartment. The floor had been mopped, the clothes were gone, the toilet, shower, and sink were clean and organized. There was even a clean towel and Dick’s favorite lounge set ready folded by the shower. The grime on Dick’s body felt out of place in the pristine apartment. 

Dick would definitely be looking the gift horse in the mouth. But maybe it could wait after he showered. 

While he showered, Dick let his mind wander. He thought about the strange newfound cleanliness of the apartment, wondering what or why it could’ve been. Was this another Tim situation? Something nagged at the back of Dick’s mind, something important, but he couldn’t remember what. 

That something important was in the living room, head snapping in Dick’s direction as the bathroom door opened, and standing at attention. 

Holy shit. Dick forgot he had a kid. He’d forgotten a whole child was living with him now.

Oh, he was such a dick. 

“I didn’t hear the door so I didn’t know you were home yet.” The boy- Daniel - rushed to explain when he caught Dick’s eyes on him. 

Still grappling with the fact that he had fully forgotten there was a child he was supposed to be taking care of now, Dick said the first reasonable response that came to mind. “I used the window,” Daniel already knew about Dick’s night job as Nightwing thanks to the circumstances Dick had found him under. 

Dick wasn’t sure why that answer had elicited a panicked apology from the 8 year old. But Dick wasn’t sure what had happened to Daniel before he had found him, but apparently they would have to dig into that at 4:30 AM. Maybe Dick should call off work tomorrow. 

Dick tried to get closer to Daniel but when his shoulders seemed to go impossibly more stiff, Dick took the sign to stay in his spot and kneeled on one leg so he would be face level with Daniel. “Daniel,” Dick made sure his voice was calm and inviting but the boy still flinched, “Did you clean the apartment?” 

“Yes, sir.” There was fear in Daniel’s eyes that Dick couldn’t help but be concerned by, but his voice was even when he spoke. 

“Why?” Dick asked calmly, making sure to keep his body language open. 

Daniel looked startled by the question, eyes darting over Dick trying to find the answer he thought Dick was looking for. When he couldn’t find it he looked around the room. Dick watched him, waiting for his response. “Because,” Daniel started hesitantly, voice shaking slightly, “Because it was dirt- messy.” his voice was a whisper as he spoke. 

“But you didn’t make that mess, so why did you clean it?” Dick prompted, fearing for where he could see this conversation going. 

“So you- so that-” Daniel looked like he wasn’t sure how he was supposed to respond. 

“I want you to be honest, Daniel. You won’t get in trouble.” Dick added quietly. 

Daniel tried to decipher if he was lying, a familiar analytical look in his eyes. After a long moment Dick wondered if he just wouldn’t respond. But when Daniel answered, it hadn’t been at all what he had been expecting. “So that you wouldn’t be angry at me.”

Coupled with his earlier fumble of forgetting the kid, Dick felt like he had just been gutted. “What?” Dick heard himself say. Daniel looked alarmed at the reaction, so Dick spoke again quickly. “I’m not angry at you Danny,” a nickname he had given the boy slipped onto his tongue, “I’m not angry at all why would you think so?” 

Tears were beginning to well in Daniel’s eyes, “You are angry.” He sounded scared, his voice wobbly. 

“I promise I’m not angry. Or mad. Or annoyed. Or irritated.” Dick reassurances seemed to do nothing for the boy. The reservoir under Daniel’s eyes was getting fuller, threatening to spill. So he tried a different approach, “What makes you think I’m angry, Danny?” 

“Because the-” Daniel tried to find the words, so Dick waited. “Your heart has angry colors.” He finally said.

Dick tried to decipher what that meant. Angry colors? He’d have to circle back to that later. “So you cleaned the apartment because you thought I was angry?” Dick summarized. 

Daniel nodded, he considered something for a moment. “Jazz said that if you’re good at something then people will like you and not be angry. And I’m good at cleaning.” 

“Did the people you were with before get angry at you a lot?” Dick asked, trying to keep his promise of not getting angry. 

“That’s why I cleaned.” Daniel nodded. 

Dick forced himself to stay calm. He may have a meta child that could sense emotions in his hands and he did not want to test that theory by blowing up in front of him. 

Not a child- he corrected himself- his child. Danny was his son. And maybe Dick didn’t know how to be a dad, but he knew how not to be a dad. And that had to be some kind of start. Today would be a one time thing, Dick promised himself, and Danny would never know and never feel like he was forgotten much less by his dad.

He would save the conversation about that for the morning, after a good night's sleep. “How about some ice cream, since you worked so hard?”

(Batman & The Signal #3)

The more I read about Duke the more I realise the fandom knows literally nothing about Duke except:

"he's a Robin!" (not really, by any real standards of 'Robin'. He was a leader in We Are Robin, but he's never worked with any Batman under that title)

He's one of Batman's kids! (he was fostered for MAYBE 18 months our time and his parents were also living at the Manor at the same time. He's been with relatives since early 2018: first his cousin Jay and now I believe his mum Elaine since 2022 or so?)

He is a meta with light-based powers (which he does not discover until Dark Nights: Metal and rarely uses on page instead of hitting things with batons)

The other Batkids consider him a sibling! (Uhhh well he has a relationship with Cass, and appeared in several family group scenes while he was fostered, which mostly noted that none of the others knew him as more than 'the new kid'; since he moved out of the Manor he has not done so)

Look, at this point he's an outer Bat family member, on a similar level to Harper Row, Helena Bertinelli, Julia Pennyworth, Luke Fox or maybe at best Stephanie Brown.

Unless you're talking about WFA he's not an inner circle character who is a 'Wayne'.

[punkeropercyjackson]

Why Batcest is not only harmful but also dosen't work with the characters

Jason has explicitly stated he's disgusted at the thought of kissing his brothers(any of his four brothers was his exact wording i.e Batcest!Jason is debunked but core Batkid!Duke is canon)and shown dislike for older men on the basis of being older men at multiple points,ntm he's implied to have a daddy kink on the recieving end but he's also anti-sa(pushing a man off a roof as Robin for running a sex trafficking ring and killing a pedophillic teacher for abusing one of his student's)

Dick is romani,Cass is an easian woman and Damian is arab and there's stereotypes about inherently being into incest against all three of those groups

While this rarely happens,Duke Batcest is racist too because of the deep,DEEP history behind incestous abuse on black people by antiblacks and incest fetishes presented as 'gay culture' are a result of the whitewashing of queer history to exclude and demonize black people and include incestous white abusers

Devin Grayson has apologized for her B.rudick writings and said it was a bad coping mechanism on her part she should've never written that only hurt her further and was offensive to other survivors on her part,especially ones of color

'Batman and Robin are a gay metaphor' is not something actual comics writers belived and was simply an innapropriate rumor spread by the pedophiles of the time looking for validation and the actual comics writers created love interests for Dick and Bruce to dispell the rumors because they were correctly disgusted and offended at the implication they were writing an adult man as dating his adoptive elementary school aged son and the fact the LI in question were female is irrelevant and not 'homophobic' as they were trying to avoid homophobic stereotyping with them in addition to the decent human being thing called 'hating pedophiles in all contexts'

While T!mcass was indeed canon at one point,this was all pre-Cass adoption when they weren't completely concrete on where her character was going but post-Cass adoption,these elements of implied romance between them were removed and completely ignored

Bruce's dynamic with Dick is described as a mix between brothers and father and son,Jason,Tim,Cass and Duke textually view Bruce as good as a biodad,Bru.dami has zero canon incarnations and with the exception of Stephanie,The Batkids all have multiple instinces of refering to eachother as siblings both individually and as (a) group

Relatedly(lmao),Robins 2022 was mid and a waste of paper for the exact reason of the Duke exclusion to pander to the Four Batboys + 'Token' Stephanie fanonization that is universally present in Batcest fake fan content.There's no Robins without Duke and there's no Batkids with Batcest.The BatCREST is the FAMILY legacy for a reasons sweetcakes

[poppy-metal]

You accidentally call biodad!pat daddy while he's fucking you but he doesn't stutter- hot young girls call him daddy while he's fucking them all the time. "Yeah baby, let daddy fuck that tight pussy. You ever been fucked before? You're fuckin choking my cock princess." "Never, daddy," you tell him, "never been fucked. Think I might've been saving myself just for you."

hhhhhh women calling him daddy being so par for the course his hips don't even stutter :(( just hunkers down and pushes your legs even wider to slide even deeper inside. hhhhhhh, knowing who he is the whole time and just clenching around him when he calls you princess - the little girl in you loving it - preening and clawing at his sweat slick back. you cling to him in a way he's not used to - more intimate in the way you touch him. drawing your lips up his throat and suckling on his adams apple - wrapping your legs and arms around him, plastering your body as close to his as possible.

"fuckin' greedy pussy -" he grunts when you lick and suck at his earlobe, hole sucking him in and in and in. "aw, shit - you need it bad, huh, baby? need daddys cock filling you up?"

he doesn't know just how badly you do need it. your hands reach down to knead at his ass, dragging him as far into you as physically possible - "yeah," you nod. "yeah daddy - need you. need you so bad - need your cum, daddy, need you -"

your nails digging into his as make him moan and he pumps you harder. feels fucking insane - this is the best sex he's had in awhile. definitely the most passionately he's fucked someone in a minute - he thinks once might not be enough, actually. he thinks he'll ask to bring you back to his motel. fuck you all weekend if you're about it. he'll buy you junk food and dick you down real good - fuck, you feel so good.

he hasn't cum raw inside anyone in so long either - he's been wrapping it and tapping it for years now - but something about you - he had to feel you bare. and he knows he should pull out, but you've got a molten little pussy that's suckin and slurping on his cock - dragging his cum right from his balls - and he can do nothing but groan and burry his face in your neck as he pulses warm and hot inside you -

"oh fuck baby - there you go. aw, you take daddys cum so well - fuuuuuuuck, goddamn that pussies tight -"

you smile up at him, dazed.

"it was made for you, daddy."

[melodyatlas]

more jaytim actors au tidbits

a good chunk of the cast are close and did know about jason and tim before they were revealed publicly

tim was never technically "out" but he also wasn't really "closeted" either

steph offered to be tims beard and even tho he turned her down, the paparazzi still got pictures of them hanging out (platonically) and spread rumors of them dating

jason and roy became best friends irl after meeting on set (their friendship is what inspired the writers to start an outlaws subplot which had a backdoor pilot and spawned a spinoff)

bruce isnt damians biodad irl, but he is a close family friend and filled that role for him periodically over the years (he doesn't know his biodad bc talia had him via sperm donor on her own)

dick didn't actually date kori or babs (only in the show) and despite many rumors that they dated irl too, he's actually dating a different costar 🤫🤭

[mae-dwrites]

You know what fuck everything I want to go on another ramble, it's going on this one instead.

So I decided that Jon is born 4 years after Marinette is taken, it gives time to Clark and Lois to mourn the daughter that was taken from them, they never stopped searching, not really, but still it effected them.

Superman can be seen every year, the same day just floating above Metropolis, staring out across the skyline, almost as if waiting for something, someone. He’ll be there after dark for a while too, before flying off somewhere.

It happens to be the same day Lois Lane and Clark Kent ask for a day off, it's the only day they will fight for, and Perry can’t really be mad, he can't fight them on that. Lois and Clark are his best, and it isn't his business why they don't come to work on the one day, but he has an idea why.

Superman will arrive back at the Kent Farm, there is Lois, Ma and eventually his boy. Jon knows that day is a sad day for his family, he would eventually know why, and when he does the world sees a boy with up in sky with Superman. On the same day, every year, waiting, watching, watching as the sunset, and flying away after dark.

When Kon is found Superman is rushing to find Lex once again demanding answers, because he has to be hiding his daughter somewhere. There's no way he didn't use his daughter to help make Kon, but the files only state how they looked at her DNA to help them map out their attempts better. Seeing where the alleles matched up and what hopefully could.

But she’s only referred to as the “natural born.” It’s beyond frustrating and for some reason they just can’t find her files. She only referenced like they have research to look back on.

And Lex won't tell them why. Why? That's a great question, but sadly no thinks to search any international branches, at least it doesn't cross anyone’s minds to as usually going out of country/jurisdiction didn't bod well.

All of Marinette’s files were written in French, never emailed, never translated, Lex wouldn't risk it. It came by hand carry, two copies until his clone project got taken. It didn't matter he still had the first, and if needed he was sure he could use her.

Now Marinette knew she was weird but everyone is a little weird. Her breath was a little colder than others sometimes, she could lift the tables in the shop, and look! Look Maman I’m not even wobbling this time! She could run faster than all the boys but only by a handful of centimeters, she didn't get hurt as easily as her friends. Yeah, she's clumsy sometimes but it’s fine! She promises…oh please she won't break her legs jumping from this high up.

“You’re a freak,” Chloé hissed to her once. Chloé never bothered her, not really, her words always washed over Marinette, but that. That stung, it stayed with her, it left her up late at night trying to ignore the echoes of the words.

She’s right her Papa is strong but he couldn't bend a metal pipe, he could break through a door with ease, possibly a wall but not what Marinette had done.

Marinette started to draw more into herself, she stopped talking to Nino, Kim, and Alix.

“Marinette come join tag!”

“I’m good thanks,” she’d say, going to a bench to draw instead. Eventually she’d just walk to the bench, and her friends would stop trying to get her to join. We're they ever really her friends in the first place then?

Chloé still tormented her, but when she was really feeling like being mean she just called her a freak. Disaster Freak had become the common name at some point. At least Socqueline was there for her, up until she had to leave.

Marinette should have done something, anything, other than cry, other stand around. And for the first time in years her insides burned with the same passion that used to radiate from her, it wasn't much but it was kindled.

Then she became Ladybug and she was like the star in the sky, something too bright to ignore, Marinette took strides once again. And she wouldn't let anyone hold her back again.

Marinette though tried her best to not let her powers be well known, only old classmates remember her uncanny strength, but that was chopped up to her father being very strong, how fast she was simply just her being small and surprisingly agile. Marinette is a very observant person, everyone knows that. Why are you questioning how she recognized you from across the courtyard with like 100 kids between you too, that's just Marinette cause she’s awesome and Marinette.

Alix and Kim get excited, well after their race at the beginning of the year, because Mars is taking things on left and right, she's stick it up to Chloé, she looks so much more familiar than she has in years. They invite her to race and it confuses other classmates, Nino just smirks and says a simple, “Watch.”

Marinette can still outrun them even with Alix on wheels, and she did cartwheels without falling behind.

Chloé calls her a freak once, and everyone is on her, they don't know how that word hurt her before but Nino, Alix and Kim saw it and they're leading against that the millisecond it happens. They don't want to watch Marinette go down that hole again, watch her curl up. But she doesn't this time, she stood taller, with calm anger said, “I am, what about it Chloé? Gonna have your dad put harsher regulations on metas?”

(I’ve always seen there being laws and systems in place for metas in Paris specifically, due to Hawkmoth)

Alya jaw drops for sure, her best friend is a meta, and she didn't tell her??? But after hearing Marinette’s reasoning and how Chloé calling her a freak affected Marinette from Alix, Kim and Nino. Like she can't bring herself to be upset with Marinette after hearing that from them.

Marinette probably got told she was adopted at the same time as her parents were like “we think you're a meta sweetie.” It helps so there isn't this bombshell to deal with after knowing she's a meta, they simply laid it out for her. Marinette main focus was the fact she was adopted for awhile before finally going, “okay lets look at meta-related things. Oh wow okay then.”

-

That's all I think I'm adding for now. Sidenote based on the mathing I did, Kon is 7 years older than Marinette physically, and he was released to the world before she turned 9 but Damian had already turned 8. I’m using the Damian is 3 years older than Jon, I always forget about it so here’s to not forgetting

So this morning as I struggled to want to get up an AU came to me. I've been struggling on how to word some of this so bare with me.

This got longer than I thought it would but here:

Lois Lane and Clark Kent find out they're having a child later on they find out it's a girl, they're overjoyed and shit. But their relationship is on the down low, and everyone in Metropolis is convinced that Lois and Superman not only have a thing for each other but are together(which they aren't wrong). So when Lex Luthor finds out Lois is pregnant he comes up with a plan(cause his blad ass thinks he's so smart). And he does succeed.

Clark has to go off planet for [intergalactic problem here] and so he's gone for a few months during Lois’s pregnancy. So while Superman is away Lex is like ‘yes my plan will go so much easier now’ and so Lois gives birth, after she(the baby) is put in the baby ward thing, Lex steals their daughter. He gives her this serum that (in theory) blocks her powers till something triggers them. It does work but he doesn't know what will trigger it or how well it works.

He decides to put her as far away from them as possible on Earth tho. So she's in France getting adopted by the lovely couple who own a bakery and want a child. They can't due to biological complications, and Lex can watch them easily ( he knows French ig for this ). And they get to name her cause she doesn't have name.

So enter Marinette Dupain-Cheng the adoptive daughter Tom Dupain and Sabine Cheng. There are some things they just can't explain about their daughter, they love her very much. Shenanigans my beloved, shall ensue.

But she's so small and doesn't have a lot of muscle how is she carrying this bag of flower at the age of 10? OH NO BOILING WATER GOT ON HER SHES GONNA GET BURN MAR- oh, she's okay...? MARINETTE DONT STARE AT THE SUN! They go to the doctor to check her eyesight, she has perfect vision. Marinette the fastest kid in her class, faster than Kim and Alix, they're playing hide and seek? Oh Mari is up a tree!

Back with Clark and Lois, Superman threatens Lex or talks to Bruce or something idk. Jon is made or born 2 years later(idk his story sometimes he's a clone sometimes he's not???!) when Mari is 2, then two more years later Con is born(I know for a fact he is born) so Mari is like 4. Bruce is doing the blood thing, but Lex has that shit under strict supervenience. And while raising the boys they learn what they should look for.

Tom and Sabine conclude that Mari is a Meta, talk to her about this when she is like 12, than when she is almost 14 she searches this stuff up and she's like “okay, no powers” well that gets thrown in her face when she was left with being Ladybug. Lex can't watch her anymore cause Paris closed itself off!

How being Ladybug affects Marinette:

She is still really strong even with that serum not letting her be at full strength so now that she has the Miraculous it enhances her already enhanced strength so she has to pull her punches, and this is one of the main reasons why she uses her yo-yo and her brain in battles rather than brute force, cause she could kill the akuma. At least she thinks so, who knows, depends on the writer!

Post [What-ever-the-fuck version of Gabriel we're dealing with]:

There are two ways this can go! 1) Mari during her time as Ladybug and Guardian activated the trigger so she could use all her half-Kryptonian-ness or 2) somehow it wasn't triggered yet but it was at some point while being around JL. Probably from being around Superman and her body went “FATHERRRRR”

And why Clark hasn't figured out this is his daughter after meeting her? Magic suit y'all! Prevents him from using x-ray vision on her, so he doesn't see her hybrid organs. One thing is for certain Bruce wants to adopt her! He can't of course cause she has already been adopted, so instead, he offers her a place to stay in Gotham, all paid, and any school of her choosing in Gotham. She says she’ll think about it, and when she researched she was surprised, and decided why not! She can fight villains, build her career, see what she can do with her new activated power, *cough* get all that pent-up rage out *COUGH*!

One big problem tho, the Meta and Magic users ban, so she talks to him again, he's like I'm willing to adjust my ban, then he does a double take cause “meta?” cause guess what Brucie, you wanna take in a meta-magic user! So he adjusts his rules.

Time passes, a long time depends, but Clark and Lois go to this gala being reporters and friends with Bruce. This gala is also Mari’s first. She's been doing great, other than almost burning her room in the middle of the night a few weeks ago. But it's fiiiiine, they're all learning, and Damian has his suspensions.

Clark was area of Bruce having another kid in his wings, and he does his x-ray things like he does all the batfam, and that's when he sees it! She wasn't human, she was part human. So he takes her Bruce, and is like “you can't have this child” “why tf can't I!” “this is our missing daughter!!”

So after the gala they all sit down and talk this out, they call Jon and Kon to get their asses here to see their sister! They talk to Tom and Sabine and they’re willing to share custody especially cause of how this happened! Anyway big family in the end.

This has probably been done somewhere but I needed to get this written out. I really want to write this, but if anyone does tag me please! PLEASE!

Bonus points for any salt or angst. Just sayin

Edit: it really shows how I didn't know about Kon and it pains me everytime I get a notification for this. Excuse my dumbassery.

Jon is born two years after Mari, Kon is made whenever the fuck he’s made, so Kon is like twoish year's older than Mari growth wise?? Cause Damian and Tim are like five/six years apart? (supposed to be anyway but who gives a shit, apparently not the DC writers, cause like aren't they supposed to be idk 7-9 years apart?? I don't care really it gives better annoying the shit out each other I'm specific ways while in the same household prevogligous)

They call Kon cause, “you're family regardless and we found our daughter we want you to meet her, get yo ass over here”

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knows any fics of Peter being a bit of a dick? I love the stories where he is rude to people, normally as a way to push them away so they can’t see how bad his life is. Any examples of rude/sassy Peter would be greatly appreciated!

here are some for you! Happy reading

Wake up and smell the coffee by Bergen

The Avengers find themselves in need of Spider-Man’s help to improve their reputation. Peter Parker, however, doesn't exactly have the best reputation: he has been dabbling in a life of crime. Tony really doesn't care about picking up after some degenerate teen. Peter really doesn't care about some dumb adults telling him what to do. And nothing will ever, ever change their minds.

100 Hours (Community Service is for the Turtles) by orphan_account

“Hey there, Parker. I’ve got some exciting news about your community service sentencing,” the bright voice from the other line says. "It looks like you've been reassigned." “Oh, yeah?” Peter asks, warily. His social worker sounds excited, but he's been burned a few too many times to take any "good news" at face value. Peter listens to her explain with a furrowed brow, and when the call is over, he opens the web browser on his cracked Android and quickly types the words september foundation into the search bar. His eyes narrow as he peruses the top result. Oh, he is going to kill that Stark bastard. - All Peter Parker wants to do is fly under the radar. He wants to go to school, work off his sentence by picking up trash at the stupid park, and avoid going home for as long as possible each night. Unfortunately for him, Tony Stark has never been one to see untapped potential and not do something about it.

The seventh escape by Bergen

Tony and Pepper snatched Peter up only a few weeks after the first Spider-Man video went viral. Real fucking coincidence, right? Suddenly, Tony Stark rocked right up at his group home, strewing business cards around like he was Oprah. If Oprah were an ugly white dude with a goatee. “Big fan,” he told Peter, fasting forward through a video of Spider-Man catching a bus before it crashed through a road block. “In and out of foster care your whole life, am I right? I believe my wife and I could provide a very fitting home for you.” “Pass,” Peter said.

Paradigm shift by Bergen

Peter got a Stark phone when he was ten. Adrian took him to a big store with lots of TV screens that all played the same video of Tony Stark declaring to the world that he was Iron Man. They ducked behind the microwaves, both of them giggling as Adrian stuffed the phone under Peter’s sweater. They walked right out the door without tripping the alarm, and Adrian bought him ice cream to celebrate. — After his parents die, Peter is taken in by the Toomes family. Things slowly, then quickly spiral out of control. All Adrian wants is to take revenge on Tony Stark. All Peter wants is to do the right thing. Why is that so much harder than expected?

the long game by niniblack

“Your prints were a match for a missing persons case from ten years ago. A little boy who was kidnapped.” The officer pulls out a picture that she turns toward Peter. It’s a little boy around four years old, with curly brown hair. “That’s you,” she says. Peter shakes his head. “Do you remember how you got to that park? Who left you there?” “Lady, I don’t remember jack shit,” Peter says. “I was like four. No one remembers shit from when they were four.” --- Or: the biodad au where Peter gets arrested for selling drugs, and that actually improves his life.

Day 26! Back to BioDad Bruce Wayne for this one: Milk Carton

@maribat-calendar-events

It had been two months. Two months of silence in Wayne Manor; of mornings of forgetfulness that would send Marinette tripping along the hall to say good morning to someone who wasn't there anymore. It happened more than she cared to admit.

Every time it happened she would feel a numbness spread over her and she would mechanically go through her day. Everybody gave her a pretty wide (and sympathetic) berth at school these days, because the one and only time someone had brought up- him, she had had a panic attack so severe that Alfred had come to collect her. And she wasn't exactly fantastic company when she wasn't on the verge of breaking down.

So, she was pretty surprised when a younger kid came up to her at lunch and sat at her table. He was nervous looking, dark hair with light eyes and he looked like he didn't sleep for the recommended eight hours a day. She looked at him apprehensively but he didn't say anything so neither did she.

When she stood at the end of her lunch period, his eyes followed her but he still didn't say anything. She moved towards her afternoon classes, a vague sense of unease that she pushed below the layer of grief that always lingered. 

When she returned home, Alfred greeted her quietly with her dinner. She hadn't eaten at the dining table since- she ate in the kitchen these days. She didn't bother to ask where Bruce was and Alfred had long since stopped trying to tell her.

Marinette's bedroom was quiet and still felt like a guest room most days. She hadn't picked up her sketchbook or a needle in long enough that she had wondered in a detached way whether she ever would again. 

Her nightly routine was pretty much to finish her homework, write in her journal that she totally wasn't using instead of a therapist and then go to bed. More often than not she would lie in bed, unable to sleep, and cry until she had nothing left in her. Every fourth night or so, she would pass out early and only wake up for nightmares.

On this particular night, Marinette had more churning through her mind than usual so she didn't sleep for hours. When she did finally fall asleep, she had her worst recurring nightmare. Trying to shake images of a blasted apart Jason from her mind, she crept out of bed to get a cup of warm milk. It wasn't an infrequent action for her, so she froze when she heard voices coming out of the kitchen ahead of her.

“...wing said that he wouldn't take up the mantle again, but Batman needs a Robin. If Dick isn't willing to do it, I will.” 

Marinette peeked around the kitchen door, careful not to make sudden movements. She froze when she spotted Alfred and the boy from lunchtime sharing a pot of tea, both wholly focused on each other. Her already stressed mind whirred into action even as she tried to kill the train of thought.

“I suppose it is pointless to deny it given where I found you,” Alfred said tiredly. “Master Bruce has been…untethered by the loss of Master Jason. His code prevents him from taking revenge, but he is so angry.”

“I'll get him back on track,” the boy reassured the elderly gentleman. There were several seconds of near silence as the two finished preparing for- something. Marinette refused to finish the thoughts.

Stealthily, Marinette reversed direction back to her room. Her tired brain was screaming alarm bells but she pushed all of her feelings down until the roar in her head dulled into a whimper. But even in her current state, she couldn't help but make the connections. 

Bruce Wayne, her father, was Batman. Jason was Robin- had been Robin. Dick, the kindly older brother who had helped her by sharing her grief had to be Nightwing, which meant he had also been the first Robin. And now, the kid that had approached her at lunch was obviously going to be Robin number 3.

When her alarm went off for school, Marinette still hadn't slept. She had found herself having a hard reset on the stages of grief for Jason and was currently bargaining with herself to force her morning routine.

When she made it to the kitchen, she froze in the doorway. Sitting at the counter was (her sleep deprived brain wondered whether she was hallucinating) Bruce and the new boy wonder. They both looked tired, but the new kid also had a look of…exhilaration that Marinette felt like a knife to the heart.

She took a deep breath and stepped into the kitchen. Alfred gave her his usual morning greeting and she nodded jerkily in reply. She let her expression smooth to blankness, not acknowledged the new arrival. He seemed to be looking at her nervously but she refused to be the first to crack. 

“Miss Marinette, I don't believe you've met out neighbour, Master Timothy Drake,” Alfred said at last. She continued to stare mutely at her breakfast but shrugged. “He came to visit after you went to sleep last night, but you are likely going to see more of him in the coming weeks.”

“He's going to be a sort of protégé to me,” Bruce clarified when she didn't say anything. She felt as though something new snapped in her chest and she looked up at him sharply. He looked at her with a frown, as though cautioning her to be pleasant and the jagged edges that had been created ground against her lungs until she had no breath.

“You mean like Jason?” She said bluntly, ignoring the alarmed look on Alfred's face. She hadn't spoken Jason's name aloud since the funeral, and it had a satisfying impact to wield it now. “So you go off the deep end for the past couple of months but now that you have another ‘protégé’, you're fine?”

The room was deathly silent. Bruce was looking at her, maybe not with loathing but certainly not with any kindness. His tone was barely civil when he replied. “I understand that you are grieving, Marinette, but you should mind your tongue.”

But Marinette was past caring. “Oh, please. Don't feel like you need to act like a parent just because we have company. And if you had a normal understanding of grief, I doubt you would dress up as a furry every night instead of getting therapy.”

A mug shattered behind her and she whirled around to see a tired and bruised Dick staring at her in wide eyed horror. If she wasn't so angry, she might have felt guilty, but all she could see was Jason's smile as he promised to come back as soon as he could. 

“Marinette, that is enough,” Bruce commanded, standing up so he could glare down at her properly. She choked back a hysterical laugh, shooting the same glare back up at him. “I don't know what you think you know, but you’re out of line.”

“Oh, I think you know damn well what I know,” Marinette hissed, wishing she had superhero strength so she could shake the man. “No thanks to you, I might add. Did you ever consider that if I had known your little secret sooner, we wouldn't be in this position?”

It was an awful thing to say, she knew it in a distant part of her mind. She had thought it during her anger phase the night before and dismissed it as cruel. But she wanted to hurt Bruce, wanted to blame someone other than herself for their loss for a change.

"I tried to stop him,” was all he said, but it was like he had ripped her heart in half. She would have gasped if she could breathe. She swallowed convulsively, trying to push the tears back, but it was no use. Several months out of Paris meant that she was less practiced at centring herself when it counted. Bruce sighed and reached for her shoulder. “Marinette, I'm-”

“Don't,” was all she said, ripping herself out of his reach. She refused to look at Alfred, to see the pity - or worse, the blame - in his eyes that was surely there. Silence settled into the room once more and she left without another word.

Dick watched her leave, the impulse to follow her warring with the impulse to shout at Bruce. He looked at Alfred and nodded when he saw the disappointment and anger written on the elderly man's face. Alfred would make sure that Bruce got what for, Dick's priority was to comfort Marinette.l

“G-go away,” she said, her voice muffled by the door but not enough that he couldn't hear the tears. He sighed and pushed the door open gently. He hovered on the threshold as he took in the sight of the poor girl curled up on the bed. Her arms were wrapped around a stuffed animal and her hands were worrying a small paperback novel that he vaguely recognised, though he couldn't place where he had seen it before.

“Hey kid,” he said softly, his heart breaking a little when she just sobbed. He waited for a few seconds before deciding that it was okay to enter as she hadn't told him to go away again. He sat down carefully on her bed, putting a hand onto her shoulder to comfort her. “So you figured us out, huh?”

“Not really,” she muttered as she turned towards him. Her eyes and face were red and blotchy, and she scrubbed at her cheeks. “Timmy showed up in the middle of the night and I accidentally overheard him talking to Alfred. I probably could have worked it out, but I was- I've been-”

“I get it,” Dick said, his voice so soft he was worried she wouldn't hear him. But she breathed out, tension draining out of her. “None of this is your fault, Mari. I know you've probably been blaming yourself and I'm sorry I didn't come to check on you. I guess I was blaming myself too.”

“I told him to go.”

Dick thought he might have misheard but then everything made just a little more sense. The way Bruce had been ignoring Marinette and refused to talk about her when Dick mentioned her. The outright fury on Alfred's face at Bruce's little dig minutes ago. He processed everything as quickly as he could and tightened his hand on her shoulder.

“It's still not your fault,” he promised, holding her gaze until she bolted upright and threw her arms around him. He gripped her back, letting her cry it out until she finally stopped shaking. “I promise you, it's not your fault, and it's not even Bruce's. The only person to blame is the lunatic who decided a bomb was an appropriate way to settle a score with B.”

_ _ _

By the time Marinette was ready to go to school, Dick had gone to get some sleep. She went to the car and found Tim and Alfred chatting as they waited for her. Tim gave her a sheepish ‘hello’ and Alfred gave her a sad smile, before ushering both kids into the car.

“I'm sorry for freaking out this morning,” she said to the car at large once they were moving. Alfred dismissed her apology with a gentle scoff, smiling encouragingly at her. “Is all of this why you sat with me at lunch yesterday?”

“Yeah, I'm sorry for everything,” Tim said with a grimace. He was a couple of years younger than Marinette, but because she was so short they were practically the same height. “I wanted to see what you knew about it all, but I couldn't think of a way to bring it up.”

“No, it's fine, but you're really clever to have worked it all out,” she said with an attempt at a smile. “The truth is, I didn't know until I overheard you and Mister Alfred last night.”

“I wasn't one hundred percent sure either,” Tim admitted, a sheepish grin working its way onto his face. “Alfred found me trying to put on the suit in the batcave, which is what really cemented everything. I knew Robin was missing after…but it's not like I could put out a missing ad on a milk carton, you know?”

Marinette gave an encouraging smile but didn't say anything. Tim was clearly trying to spare her feelings by not mentioning Jason directly, but it still hurt. He continued to chatter nervously about the stressful night they had had, Alfred interrupting only to say that they would need to train him properly before allowing him to go back out there again.

And for the first time in months, Marinette felt the scratching of an idea at the back of her mind. She knew what Robin looked like, obviously, but she was pretty sure she could at least improve the suit a little.

Did anyone else grow up with 90’s teen DC fans, bc shit was crazy?! My biodad’s ex!-wife legit told me that there was only 1 Robin, Dick Grayson. Like my whole childhood if I tried to talk about Teen Titans jokes (they loved to hint at Jason) and other child appropriate comics that jokes about Batman’s many and ever growing amount of sidekicks I’d be shut down with “Dick is the only Robin.”

AND TO THIS DAY IF I TRY TO TALK TO MY LITTLE (half) SISTER ABOUT THE ROBINS MY SISTER WILL TELL ME ONLY DICK IS A ROBIN THE REST ARE FAKE

the worst part is it doesn’t even make sense
