The Waynes having a youtube channel (Tim) where they’re occasionally tagged in challenge videos or different things. It began with the ice bucket challenge and they did it to donate money. Now it’s for laughs.

One of their top viewed videos is: My Siblings Buy Me Outfits. The second ranked video is: I Buy My Siblings Outfits.

The first one is each of the Batkids buying Tim different clothes. Their preferred method of trolling is getting hero merch. Steph puts him in heels as payback for dragging her to a gala. Cass gets him a ballet outfit so they can dance together. Duke gets him wildly political t-shirts and a bunny suit for lab work.

The second video is Tim buying 2-3 outfits for each of his siblings. Dick can’t be trolled, he unironically looks good in everything. Alfred paid Tim in cookies to get Jason a suit for the next gala. Steph and Cass get crazy halloween costumes. Damian gets kakis and polos because it makes him look awkward. Duke gets an astronaut outfit. Like, the genuine article that is cleared to be used in the shuttle missions.

Overall it’s the fashion show for Bruce that sells each of the videos. They do a runway look and pose for him while he’s drinking a glass of champagne, wearing sunglasses indoors, and clapping.

Episode 1-2 AU Chapter 1

So I rewatched Eps 1-2 and finally decided to write out an idea I've had for forever.

Insert Narrator's Voice Here: What if it really was Robin on the ground, instead of Molly, drugged and can't speak?

Episode 02 Trap AU

By Robin Gurl

Idea: What if it really was Robin after the car exploded and Batman saved him?

The Bat Mobile’s tires squealed to a stop as the car made its way into the Batcave. Batman glanced over hoping to see Robin was feeling better with the ride, but the boy was asleep in the passenger seat. The Boy Wonder was so still that he had to reach out and feel for a pulse.

He sighed relieved at finding one then unbuckled himself and got out, “Stay there. I’ll get the universal bat antidote.”

He fumbled through the desk with all of their antidotes hoping one of them would work. The universal Bat Antidote usually did the job, but there had to be another one just in case or one that would help it work.

His head jerked up at hearing a moan from the BatMobile. “Hang in there, Robin. Don’t move.” He grabbed the bottle of pills and a tin of lozenges before running back over.

Robin was attempting to sit up and look where he was, but his body was heavy and wasn’t listening to him. Each time he tried, his energy gave out and he fell back into the leather seat. He tried to remember what had happened and started to call out for Batman but no sound came out of his mouth.

He sat back eyes wide as he reaches up feeling his neck. He tries to speak again but only ends in coughing. As he did, he could hear Riddler laughing loudly in his ears, his mind racing as he tried again to remember. He didn’t even hear Batman coming over and startled as the other appeared in his face.

“Easy, chum. It’s just me. You’re safe.” Batman reassured his partner reaching out placing a hand on the boy’s shoulder. “Think you can manage a bat antidote pill?” He offers it watching him carefully ready to help.

Robin did his best to take it himself, but his hands were shaking too much. He finally gave up and with his pride hurt let the other help. The familiar awful taste of the universal bat antidote hit his tongue and he made a face but knew it would help.

“Stay there, I’m going to pull out one of the cots so you can lay down and sleep off whatever sedative was in that drug he gave you.”

The other nodded groggily, his energy was disappearing quickly, and it was getting harder to stay awake.

Unknown to either the elevator door opened, and Alfred stepped out into the cave. “Sir? I heard the Batmobile is everything alright? Did you find Master Robin?” He rounded the corner and took in the scene in front of him. He saw Robin curled up in the passenger seat dozing off not looking well and Batman was missing? That wasn’t like him, not when Robin was hurt. “Master Bruce?” He called again hurrying over towards the car to check on the younger of the two.

“Over here, Alfred.” Bruce appeared, his cowl off, pulling out one of the cots they would sleep in on long nights.

Originally, they were down here when Dick was younger and needed more sleep at night but didn’t want to leave Bruce’s side. As Dick got older, they were now used more for late night cases and recovering from whatever the villains did to them.

One last tug and the cot finally pulled free scratching across the floor. A stuffed animal fell out and bounced to the floor at his feet.

“….so that’s where you went.” Bruce chuckled picking up the circus elephant stuffed animal putting it on the cot and pulled further.

4 years ago, it had gone missing and it had taken several nights of sleeping in Bruce’s bed (and a new stuffed elephant) for his ward to forget about it.

He’d have to show Dick once the drug wore off.

“What happened to him? He doesn’t look well, Master Bruce.” Alfred asked walking over reluctant to leave the other in the car. “Was it the Riddler?”

“The same. Before Robin passed out on the way here, he briefly motioned that he’d been given a shot of some kind that took his voice and paralyzed his vocal cords. I’m assuming a sedative or two was added into that.” Bruce went over to one of the closets and pulled out a pillow and a blanket. “Here, make the bed as comfortable as possible. He needs to sleep off whatever they gave him then we need to figure out how to get his voice back.”

“And Missus Cooper?”

“She still thinks we’re at my Uncles, I hope.” Bruce looked up getting a nod. “Good. I don’t know what sort of excuse we could give her for this.”

“We may not have a choice, sir. The boy can’t sleep down here for very long. It’s cold and damp as it is. He’ll catch a cold, then she would be upset with you.”

“I know. I’m hoping we won’t have to. I’ve already given him the universal bat antidote. I’m hoping once he rests and sleeps this off it will have worked.”

“And if it doesn’t?” Alfred looks up from getting more pillows to see the other at the Batmobile lifting the young teen into his arms into a cradle carry. His stomach dropped nervously at seeing the boy look so pale and exhausted. “The nerve of that Riddler. Drugging a child.”

“If it doesn’t, we’ll be taking him to the hospital where a doctor can hopefully help us diagnose it.” Bruce explained as he eased his ward onto the cot. He leans down and unclasps the cape, removes the mask and the green gloves before tucking the Boy Wonder in. His hand stays for a few seconds on his partner’s head reassuring the boy and himself. “As for Riddler, he will get what’s coming to him. Mark my words.”

*~*

Alfred exited the elevator with two different cups of hot tea on a tray and some sandwiches. “I’ve got the tea right here, sir and I thought a meal might help as well.”

He was relieved to see Dick mostly coherent and awake, but he could tell the boy was still groggy and moving slowly.

Bruce was sitting on the edge of the cot doing a quick check of his partner’s vitals. He gently presses the stethoscope to the heaving chest listening. His eyes narrowed at hearing at the heavy breathing. He glanced back up, the boy was having trouble breathing and staying awake.

His eyes met Alfred’s they both shared a worried glance. “Chum? Alfred brought down some sandwiches and some tea. The tea may help with your voice.” Bruce takes the plate looking down at them, “It looks like Peanut Butter, Jelly and Banana. You’re favorite.”

At getting no response, Batman handed the plate back then picks up the cold compress from the bowl of water and pulled the boy to a sitting position placing the compress on his neck, he was holding him up but was hoping it would help. “Deep breaths. You’re panicking. We’ll figure this out. This is just a side effect of the sedatives. You’re coming off them.”

This time he got a moan and slight nod. Robin leaned forward and rested his head on his mentor’s shoulder trying to calm his breathing down and get it back to normal. His vision was blurry and spun around him, so he closed his eyes. He was safe. He was in the Batcave. Batman had rescued him.

He felt a hand rest on his head reassuringly. “Dick, it wasn’t your fault. We got separated and I got drugged then you were kidnapped.”

Dick’s eyes opened surprised, but he didn’t sit up. He tried to rasp a “what” but he only made a slight huff.

“I’m alright. They drugged my orange juice. I was in rough shape for a bit. Would you believe I had to talk two Gotham City Police Officers to look into the Bat Antidotes and ask for the general one? They looked at me like I had two heads but then they had four at the time, so we were at a stalemate.”

Alfred watched the two of them quietly. He knew what Bruce was doing and it was working. Dick was calming down and starting to breathe normally. He sat the tray down then walked over and pulled up one of the blankets draping it over the boy’s shoulders.

“I don’t know about you, but I’ve worked up an appetite. I think you need to eat as well. You’ve got nothing in your stomach and it’s making the side effects worse. I can help you eat but you need to try.”

A few seconds passed before he felt a weak nod. “Good Lad.” Batman felt Robin pull away and caught him before he fell to the side. “Move slowly, chum. No need to fall off and crack your head open.” He helped him lean back into the stack of pillows.

This time his partner didn’t look as bad as before. The panic was gone and all that was left was exhaustion. “Think you can hold your sandwich?”

The boy glanced over at it and nodded with more confidence than before. He tried to speak again but no sound came out and this time a sharp pain came from his throat as well.

“Dick don’t strain your voice. Here, I’ve got an idea. Stay here.” Bruce tucked the other blanket around his wards waist before getting to his feet. He hurries over to the desk and picks up the pad of paper and pencil. “Here, if you can write what you want to say.”

Dick looks down at the pad of paper and takes the pencil. His hand shook as he tried to write. It took all of his concentration to write “Aunt Harriet” in barely legible handwriting.

Bruce sat back down on the edge of the cot taking the plate and sits it down on the pad. He picks up half of it and holds it out, “Don’t worry. She thinks we’re at my uncles house.”

Dick reaches out and takes the offered half concentrating really hard to get it to his mouth. He maybe groggy and still mostly drugged but he was going to feed himself – what kind of crime fighter didn’t?

Bruce watched before reaching out and gently guiding the boy’s hand to his mouth by his elbow. This sedative was either a doozy or it was given multiple times.

Slowly but surely the entire sandwich was eaten, crust included. “Well done, Master Dick. Relieved to see your appetite is back. Now sir the tea has gone cold-“

“That’s alright. It’s safer for him to drink anyway. Did we have the two I requested?” Bruce picked up the plate again handing it over. He took note of Dick being able to keep his eyes open, he definitely looked more coherent.

“Yes sir. Slippery Elm and Ginger tea. I also found honey and lemon, peppermint and green tea later if necessary.” Alfred nodded taking the plate.

“Good. Before we do that, I want to take a small blood sample.”

Dick’s eyes widened nervously, and he scribbled as quickly as he could “what for”.

“This maybe a new type of sedative, Dick. I need to know what it’s doing. I should have taken one earlier while you were sleeping but I was more worried about your health. However,” Bruce got to his feet explaining as he got the supplies. “It seems to be a stronger than usual sedative so it will still be in your blood stream. While it may not be as potent as it was, it will still be there.”

Dick sighed before looking away as Bruce sits back down wiping his arm with an alcohol wipe. He winced feeling the usual prick. “Doing great, Robin. Almost there.”

A few seconds later the pressure and the sharp pain in his arm was pulled away. He felt a gauze be pressed against his arm then a different set of hands held it there. He glanced over and saw Alfred was helping patch him up. “Well done, Master Dick. This will help us figure out how to help you.”

Dick looked down at the pad of paper before writing on the paper again. This time it took a bit for him to write all out. Once he was done, he showed it to Alfred. The other took it and turned around, “He’s asking about the Riddler and what we are going to do about him.”

“He isn’t our concern at this very moment. Riddler told me once that a riddle a day keeps the Riddler away. So as long as he hasn’t given another riddle, for the time being, we can focus on you. Besides, I need you back to fighting form, you are the one who solves most of the riddles anyway.”

Dick blushed but gave a weak grin.

*~*

“Alfred! There you are! I’ve been looking for hours. Where have you been?”

Alfred turned around seeing Dick’s aunt hurrying over. “I’m sorry, madam. A repair man has come to fix the basement hot water heater. I’ve been down there with him. I thought Master Bruce informed you of this before he left.”

“And that’s another matter. What of Bruce and Dick?” She stated ignoring him. “I want to speak to my nephew. It’s not like them to go off and not call me to let me know they are safe.” She stands in his way glaring up at him, “I just know something’s wrong. I can tell.”

“Madam, I already explained. Bruce and Dick are-“

“At Bruce’s uncle’s house. Yes, I’m aware.” She looked around then crossed her arms. “I’m going to call them. I just need to know he’s okay.”

“But you don’t know the number.”

“No, Alfred I don’t. But you do. Now come on.” She nodded towards Bruce’s study. “Mush.”

*~*

Batman was sitting at the desk trying to go through the notes he took on the blood sample the bat computer had given. He kept glancing over relieved to see Dick was resting. His ward was feeling better physically, and his energy was returning but his voice had yet to show at all.

He opened up another medical volume looking in the back for vocal cord inflammation or something close. This time he saw it.

Page 458.

He quickly flipped through it before finding it. “In order to cut down on the inflammation and swelling, a dose of Corticosteroids more specially Prednisone will help with this.” He read aloud. “That’s it. I need to make a call to Gordon to see if he can put me in touch with a doctor he trusts.”

Before he could start picking up the red phone, the black phone beside it started to ring. He sighed frustrated but took a deep breath and picked up the phone, “Bruce Wayne?”

“Ah yes, Fredrick. I need you to go find Mister Wayne. He and Dick are there for the weekend? Missus Cooper would like to speak with them.”

Bruce blinked before stumbling, he finally manages a different voice, “Right away.”

*~*

Aunt Harriet stands close hands on her hips waiting. Alfred prayed that Bruce would be able to handle it. He then heard rustling, “Master Bruce, how lovely it is to hear from you. Yes, she’s right here.” He hands the phone to her.

“Bruce? Bruce there you are. When you up and left… no matter. Where is Dick? I need to speak with him.”

*~*

Bruce glanced over his shoulder, the other was fast asleep. “I’m afraid he’s resting at the moment. You see he’s come down with a bit of a cold, so Uncle Thomas and I are letting him rest. He’s lost his voice from coughing I’m afraid.”

He winced hoping the name would pass and the excuse would as well.

*~*

Her eyes widened nervously, “A cold? No voice? Coughing? Oh dear me. I’ll come immediately.” She started to fidget her mind racing, “Oh I just KNEW something was wrong. A woman can always tell, Bruce.”

*~*

“Now, don’t worry Aunt Harriet. Dick is well taken care of. He’s quite comfortable in many pillows and blankets he found to curl up in. You know he does that when he doesn’t feel well. I just checked on him. His fever has broken as well. Once he’s well enough to travel, we’ll be back home. He didn’t want to give it to you or Alfred.” Bruce sighed getting up from his desk and carries the black phone with him careful not to knock anything over. “I’m right here with him.” He sat on the cot and gently shook Dick’s shoulder.

Dick uncurled looking up at him groggily.

“Oh, he’s just woken up…. Now he doesn’t have a voice and the doctor warned him not to strain.”

*~*

She hung onto the phone tightly her eyes staring ahead waiting, “Dick? Are you alright?” She held her breath waiting. “Bruce told me you aren’t feeling well.”

Alfred watched wondering what Dick was going to do.

*~*

Dick was only able to moan slightly not sure else what to do. “He’s just tired and recovering. He needs to rest while he can before the coughing fits return.”

Dick turned onto his back rubbing his eyes. He had to beat this. He had to. He clenched his eyes shut before he felt a hand squeeze his arm. He opens them and sees Bruce shake his head.

“Now now, he’s fine. At least he made a noise. Yesterday he couldn’t even do that. Yes, Aunt Harriet, we’ll call as soon as he can rasp something. Yes, I’ll call a doctor as soon as I’m off. I will I promise. He will.”

Dick gave a weak smile at his mentor stumbling to come up with excuses. He just gets a wink in return.

“Alright, take care. I will. See you soon. Bye.” Bruce sat the phone on the hook then groaned. “Your Aunt is a pain the half… but don’t you tell her I said that.” The only response he got was a silent giggle from his Ward beside him.

*~*

“….hmph.” Aunt Harriet hung up the phone before looking to Alfred. “You were hiding this from me weren’t you?”

“I-I was told to keep it a secret from Bruce and Dick. They didn’t want you to worry but now you know he’s alright and-“

“Alright?! He has no voice and an awful cold and cough. What am I going to do with that boy? And Bruce.. I’m sure he was no help.”

“Yes Ma’am.”

“Don’t yes Ma’am me. You were in on it as well. Come along.” She motioned for him to follow.

“And where might we be going? I do need to go check on the repair man. Wayne Manor’s pipes are over 100 years old and-“

“He can wait for 10 minutes. I want to get Dick’s room ready and maybe a place for him to rest in the den when he returns. Colds like that will linger for several days, Alfred and I want him comfortable.”

Alfred sighs, “Of course madam.”

*~*

Gordon looked up from his work at hearing the Bat Phone beeping. He got up and ran over picking it up, “Batman?! Is Robin alright? I haven’t heard anything, and I was getting worried – my men haven’t found any trace.”

“I’m sorry for worrying you more than needed. It’s been a rough ride over here the past several hours. I found Robin. He was laying on the ground next to a burning car drugged with no voice. It’s taken almost 7 hours to come out of it, but he still can’t speak.”

“The nerve of that man doing this to a young boy like Robin.” Gordon huffs annoyed. He takes his glasses off and folds them up before putting them in front coat pocket. “Is there anything I can do to help?”

“Yes actually. I need to get in contact with a doctor who can prescribe a steroid called Prednisone.” Batman sat back down at his desk. “I don’t mind bringing him in, but I need to know it’s safe and that they won’t try to remove his mask for obvious reasons.”

“Of course, that makes sense. How about my office? You can meet the doctor here and we can close off the doors and windows - whatever he needs.”

“Do you have a doctor in mind?”

Gordon looked up in thought, “Hold on. Let me get the directory for the police department…” He places the receiver down the table before going to his desk and picking up the rolodex. He flicked through it then pulled a paper out of it before picking up the red receiver again, “Yes. A Doctor Mason. He’s a fine doctor. Has patched up a lot of our men from injuries on the job. He attended one of the biggest hospitals in Gotham City: Gotham Memorial before joining our force.”

“Do you think he would work with me?”

“We won’t know until we try, Batman. But if I can trust him with the lives of my men, I will trust him with Robin’s life.”

“Very well. Get ahold of him and let me know when to be there. The faster we can get Robin’s voice back, the better.”

“Right. Oh, and what of the Riddler?” Gordon asked almost too nervous to bring him up.

“He will get what’s coming to him. Trust me.” Then the phone line went dead.

He sat the phone back on the hook before heading over to his desk. He picks up the black phone and dials a few numbers, “Yes. I need Doctor Mason. It’s urgent.” He glances at the watch on his wrist before sitting back waiting for a response. “Hello – Dr. Mason? I have a doozy of a favor.”

*~*

Bruce sat back into his chair sighing. He had honestly lost time with all that happened with Dick. He probably should have taken him to the hospital before this, but he never knew how well he could trust them not to try and figure out their identities.

He leans forward resting his head on his hands. He hoped he hadn’t made it worse by doing that. He turned his head glancing at his ward. Dick had fallen back to sleep quickly after the phone call.

He was going to get Riddler for this. One way or another, he was going to make it known that Riddler had gone too far this time.

“Sir?”

He lifted his head seeing Alfred coming over, “Ah Alfred how is Missus Cooper?”

“Beside herself with worry. I do apologize. She wouldn’t let me leave until I called.” He stammered embarrassed that he had been held at “gun point” by her. “So I did the only thing I could think of-“

“Call my personal line down here in the Bat Cave.” Bruce finished for him. “I know it’s fine. I think we handled it as best we could. At least now she won’t be too surprised when Dick does come back hoarse.”

“Has his conditioned changed any?”

“Each time he wakes up back up he’s more and more coherent. His eyes were focusing earlier on me and didn’t go out of focus immediately like before.”

“And his voice. Did the tea help?”

“I’m afraid not. It hasn’t touched it. I did find something that could help in my father’s old texts. I already called Gordon to ask if he could put me in touch with a doctor.”

“And you trust this doctor?”

“I don’t have a choice, Alfred.” Bruce sighed shaking his head. He pulled his cowl back over his head arranging it so he could see, “I’m putting my trust in Gordon to not fail me. Robin’s health is the upmost importance right now.”

“O-Of course sir. Will you be needing my help?”

“Once I get a time, I may. Depending on how coherent Dick is when it’s time, I may need help getting him back in costume. You will only be a last resort of course, we need to make sure he keeps some of his pride.”

Alfred blinked surprised at the half humor coming from the other, “Oh. Indeed. He would never forgive us.”

*~*

Dick woke up feeling his gloves being pulled onto his hands. He opened his eyes and saw Alfred holding his cape and mask.

“I’m sorry to wake you, Master Dick. You have both been summoned to Gotham Police Department. It seems Gordon has found a doctor to look at you. You will need to get back into costume of course. I thought I’d help and pull on your gloves first. Do you need help with the rest?”

The boy glanced at the cape and the mask before taking the mask pulling that over his head. His arms were heavy, but he was able to do it so far. Once the mask was on and straight, he sat back tired. He looked frustrated at he forced himself to sit up again. This sedative was beyond frustrating.

“Please do not strain yourself.”

Dick finally scribbled on the pad “Frustrated.” Then “Tired.”

Alfred sighed before smiling, “Don’t worry, Master Robin. I won’t tell a soul about this.” He straightened the mask making sure it was on correctly before shaking the cape out. “Now, can you sit up for me at least?”

Robin was able to happily do that. He sat up as straight as he could letting Alfred snap his cape on. He sat back slightly then looks past Alfred to the Batmobile. He hadn’t tried to walk since he woke up and Batman hadn’t let him try.

“I think we should wait for Master Bruce.” Alfred said trying not to poke a hole in his balloon. “I think we’d both rather you not fall over and hurt yourself, yes?”

Robin nodded. He picked up the pad of paper and pencil right as Alfred sat next to him on the cot. He sighed and turned the page writing on it then showing it.

“Don’t be scared. Master Bruce always figures it out. You will have your voice and health back in no time.” Alfred reassured him. “Besides, you’re already doing so much better than you were when you first got here.”

Robin glanced up at him before nodding smiling.

Footsteps were heard from the other side of the cave as Bruce came back. “I spoke with Gordon again, he says Dr. Mason will be in his office in about 45 minutes. It takes 30 minutes to get to Gotham City from the Batcave. We’ve got a bit of time before we need to hit the road. I see you’re dressed in costume again and sitting up. Very good.”

Batman turned to look where Robin was staring, “You feel up to walking? You’ve been too groggy to attempt before this.”

Robin took a deep breath before nodding. The other just smiles relieved to see that and walks over offering his hand. “Just take it nice and slow and if you can’t its ok. That sedative was heavy and its staying in your blood stream longer than a normal sedative would. So, if you’re still unable to walk or stay awake, it’s the drug – not you.”

Robin took the offered hand using it to pull himself to his feet. He wavered unsteadily as a rush of vertigo took over and stumbled forward thankful that Batman caught him. If they hadn’t been there, he would have been face first on the ground.

“Alfred, go open the passenger car door. I’ve got you Robin, one step at a time.”

Alfred got to his feet putting the pad of paper down, “Right away, sir.”

Batman glanced down briefly getting a glance of what Robin had written while he was away. He didn’t blame the boy one bit for being scared. They had both been drugged before, but this was the worst to date. “Alright Robin, just lean on me.”

*~*

“Sir, are you sure you’ll be alright?”

“Yes. Stay nearby in case I need to contact you. Depending on how the visit goes, I may need you to somehow smuggle Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson some clothes and a car from the manor.” Batman explained after buckling Robin into the passenger side. The boy had already drifted back into a groggy sleeping state again.

Alfred came over with one of the blankets that had a big bat signal on it. He draped it over the younger one tucking it around his body. “Do be careful, Master Bruce and I will await your call.”

Batman saluted as he buckled himself into his own seat and starting the car.

Alfred stepped back away from the car watching it head off.

[worldly-fluster]

Oki this is Part 2 of the "Someone else says I love you/asks you out before him"

I know at least some of you are excited for this, I hope it turns out good cause I have no plan, we ball lol

Sylus, Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel

I'm gonna base what happens on the random poll I didn't mean to make and make this into mostly fluff-hopefully. @lemurianmaster Hope this met expectations ❤️

ALSO- I'm feeling a little unsatisfied with Xavier's so I might make a stand alone post for his, I mean, I'll finish this one but imma make another cause it just doesn't sit right with me how his went. I is unsatisfied lol

Sylus-

Recap: Sylus saw you being friendly with a 'rando' at a coffee shop, the last thing he heard before the guy left was 'bye babes, Love you!'

•...Uh Oh. Oh no.

•He was nothing if not pissed.

•Before he could get up and get between you two, you both went separate ways and you came back to your seat next to him.

•He already has Mephisto following the guy though.

•He would do it himself but he wants to spend as much time with you as he can.

•He gives you a smirk, with a raised eyebrow. If you squint you could see a little bit of a furrow between.

•You barely notice, still too happy off of seeing 'that rando' as you start prattling off.

•He's in the middle of imagining ways to...play with this guy, not really paying attention to what you're saying and nodding along, when he hears it.

•Something that makes him freeze up.

•"-I haven't seen my cousin in so long-"

•He doesn't even realize he stopped breathing for a moment until you ask if he's okay.

•His shoulders relaxed, as if the weight of the world left his shoulders as he smiles.

•"I'm alright now Sweetie, just figured something out that has bothered me is all...what do you say we go to my place for some one on one time? I think Mephisto needs attention."

Xavier-

Recap: Tara was bored and Nero was wanting to start shit lol. Nero tried asking you on a date, as a friend of course, and Xavier didn't take it well...

•Xavier didn't know what to do.

•He wants you to stay by his side at all times, but if being with someone that isn't...him... is what will make you happy then, what else can he do?

•He feels that pulling away from you would help but every time he even thinks about you with someone else, well, his evol acts up...

•One time his evol caused a black out and you kinda freaked out in your apartment alone, you booked it to Xavier's apartment for 'safety'.

•Needless to say after that there were multiple power outages.

•Just knowing that you would choose to go to him instead of anyone else-any man- it made him feel better.

•He can live like this...for maybe a bit more.

•He'll tell you sooner or later but right now he just wants- needs you.

Zayne-

Recap: Zayne overheard you and Grayson trying to figure out how he(Grayson) can confess to a girl he likes but Zayne misunderstood it thinking Grayson was confessing to you, he gets overwhelmed from work and the stress from this 'confession' and passes out. Next thing he knows he's waking up to your note telling him to rest...

•Zayne refuses to talk to Grayson in the week that follows.

•He just can't get it out of his head, hearing him 'confess' to you really hit a nerve.

•It doesn't help that he hasn't been able to see you or hear from you in that time because you got swamped in work, he knows you procrastinated but it came back to bite you. He just hates that it bit him too. Huff.

•In his mind you and Grayson may as well be dating, especially since he heard that Grayson got a girlfriend the day after he heard the 'confession'.

•He stressing.

•Yvonne went into his office one day and when she saw him working non stop, she convinced him to take a short break. His hands were shaking from too much Caffeine and not enough food, so he agreed easily.

•He could not have been more grateful for this break.

•He saw Grayson eating lunch with this girl, holding her hand, staring lovingly into her eyes. They kissed.

•At first he thought Grayson was cheating on you, but then the pieces started to come together.

•You weren't dating Grayson.

•He felt like his heart was flying.

•The feeling of relief made his head spin slightly, or that could have been the lack of eating, who knows.

•He immediately pulled out his phone, with a soft smile on his face and called you.

•"Hello?"

•"It's been a while. If you aren't busy, would you like to go to the new bakery that opened not far from the hospital? We can catch up, my treat."

Rafayel-

Recap: He was wanting attention and tried calling you but you didn't answer. He got excited when you 'called back' only to be disappointed when he heard you talk about being in love with this Mystery guy, he got sad and hung up. We ended with him cuddling with your plushies and blankets you left at his place. Now we continue...

•He is ignoring you...for all but 10 minutes.

•He sent an S.O.S text to both you and Thomas.

•then put his phone on silent to wait.

•Ended up falling asleep in the blankets and plushies.

•Woke up not long after to someone banging on his door.

•He wonders who it is.

•When he opens the door, he doesn't even get the chance to get a full 'Welp hello miss bodyguard' before you're all in his business. Checking for injuries and making sure he's okay.

•His heart feels like it's dying. He swears.

•"Why did you text S.O.S??? Thomas is freaking out thinking your dying!"

•You notice he isn't responding and just staring at you.

•You take his face in your hands and rub your thumbs on his cheeks while searching his face.

•You can hear him breathe in sharply as his hands loosely grip onto your wrists to keep them there.

•This.

•This is where he belongs. In your hands.

•Even if you 'love someone else', as long as you stay by his side he doesn't mind facing the world anymore.

Hello Bruce Wayne enjoyers!! Time for me to talk about his family (the people, the backgrounds, languages, etc) in my version of DC!! Excluding the Batkids here, because I want to talk more about Bruce's generation and further back.

So. First off, Bruce has two siblings in my version of things. Occasionally three (kinda) for my fun little "Dick Grayson is a Wayne" thing, but I'll be ignoring him for now. Bruce's two consistent siblings are both older than him! Thomas Wayne Jr, of course, and Harley Quinn (their father wasn't all that faithful to Bruce and Thomas Jr's mother).

TJ (as I often see his name shortened to) is about 15 years older than Bruce, but he was kicked out for being a "disappointment" at the age of 18, and Bruce doesn't even know he exists until he pops up again.

Harley is five years older than Bruce. Despite all their years of fighting, they do eventually become pretty good friends. One night, long after Bruce had revealed his identity to her, they drunkenly sent DNA to a lab because they "looked so similar". Yeah, that's how they found out they actually WERE siblings.

Okay so! Onto parents. Martha is Russian. Thomas is Italian American and Southern American (Texan, on his mother's side. Italian-American, because in my version the Waynes were a well-known Gotham mafia family, before Thomas died).

Bruce's first fluent language was Italian, his second was Russian, and it didn't take him long to learn English. Alfred taught him, and Thomas talked to the kid in his Texan accent frequently, so.. Naturally Bruce ended up with a pretty strong Texan accent, with a few fancy-type English pronunciations mixed in. He's very good at putting on Alfred's accent, and tends to use that to cover up his natural Texan one.

Bruce also accidentally slips into Italian all the time, and even though he can speak perfectly fluent English he still goes "Uhhh.. how do you say uh.. you know, that thing? That thing you're holding? Ummm.." All the time.

He often mixes up the words too, usually when excited about something. On talk shows and such, the type that give guests cute animals for some charity reason or other, he ONLY talks to the animals in Italian. Usually with cats it's things such as "Oh, che ragazzo carino! Un gattino così soffice! Sì, sei tu! Sì, sei tu!" and etc. The media LOVES it, and sees it as a very cute and attractive trait of his.

He also slips into Italian when the Justice League is being annoying, usually when he's mid-lecturing them and they refuse to pay attention. "Ascoltate, stronzi! Fai attenzione! Oh mio Dio, siete tutti così dannatamente irritanti a volte... Che cazzo farò con voi inutili??" It's the only time you'll ever catch him swearing at his colleagues while in costume.

Info on Deniz Camp,Pornsak Pichetshote and Che Graysons absolute books coming soon let’s hope it’s good 🤞

[zahri-melitor]

I just really wish people would cross check random claims they’re making in these stories.

This is Che Grayson’s Birds of Prey which…look it’s not a Birds of Prey. You probably could have got way with calling it a Ravens, but it’s not BOP.

“Noah was sent to Arkham Asylum. The youngest patient in the hospital’s history.”

(Urban Legends #14)

Okay, so we’re claiming here that 13 is the youngest anyone’s been at Arkham.

Which…okay Abigail Arkham grew up at the asylum but technically wasn’t a patient. So you’re clear on that.

Cassius Payne was held at STAR Labs not Arkham, as best as I know (also in the ‘toddler’ stakes). And he’s technically not yet back in continuity in Prime Earth.

But we also have Elliot Strummer, over in House of Gotham in Tec. A storyline that finished the month before this story was published. And Strummer is teeny tiny the first time he’s held at Arkham because there was no space at the orphanage. He’s at MOST 13, probably more like 10.

Just…don’t make bold claims like this about ‘youngest’ when writing, because audiences will try to work out if there’s true and if it’s probably unlikely/wrong from characters appearing in other stories in VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY maybe don’t risk it.

There’s 3 writers still attached to Absolute that haven’t announced anything, any predictions on what they’ll do what you hope they’ll do?

I believe there’s only two left: Che Grayson and Pornsak Pichetshote. A theory I’ve seen is that this ad teases all of the Absolute books:

If you look at the Earth 0 figures, thus far the Absolute books have debuted corresponding Absolute versions. We’ve got Batman (Snyder), Superman (Aaron), Wonder Woman (Thompson), Flash (Lemire), GL (Ewing), and Martian Manhunter (Camp). Booster Gold obviously serves as the bridge character that connects the two universes. John being featured instead of Jo does throw a wrinkle in that theory, but you can excuse it either as John still being in the AGL book, or John merely standing in for the GL franchise in general. If this theory holds true, then the last two books are Zatanna and Starfire related. Could be solos, could be team books, maybe Absolute Shadowpact and Absolute Titans. I guess Grayson would be doing Starfire and Pichetshote would be doing Zatanna.

Pivoting to what I want, I want this theory to be wrong. This is a golden opportunity for DC to get people to care about their minority characters who were created as minorities from the start. You’ve got two minority creators here, safe bet the leads of the books will be the same race as the writers, meaning Grayson will be writing a black lead and Pichetshote will be writing an Asian one. I want Grayson to write Absolute Vixen and Pichetshote to write Absolute Atom (Ryan Choi).

With the success of the Absolute line thus far - every time a new Absolute book drops all the other Absolute books get boosted in Amazon’s digital rankings - this is the chance to finally get people to care about Vixen and Choi Atom. People who would never normally check those books out might do so now, out of a desire to keep up with the whole Absolute line.
