WARNINGS: Yandere (they aren't really yandere for reader yet.)

You loved church you truly did ,and like anyone else in the would. You observe things that you love. You knew everyone in church. Which wasn't hard because your whole town went. That and the fact that your town was small. The only people that didn't go to church was the people that were just plain bad people at heart ,and even sometimes they went.

They came and left as they pleased and your church welcomed them with open arms ,everytime. Which disappointed your father greatly. Mostly because he's the one that usually had to put them in cuffs when there supposedly good streek was over.

Nevertheless you were also one of the people that welcomed them aslwell. Decideding that everyone deserved a second chance. Anyway, you knew everyone in church by name and address. You even knew what are car they drove.

So image your surprise when there was a new car parked right in front of the church. Right were your father parks. Everyone knew that the parking spaces in the front were especially reserved for the people that helped organize the church. Not even the supposedly bad people at heart parked in your father's parking space.

"What on earth are these people on." Your father says ,and you know your mother's angry by how she doesn't even correct your father on judging people. You cringe at how hard your mother slams the trucks door. Silently you all watch as your mother practically stomps her way into the church.

Now, your mother may have wanted to be early for just about everything ,but she actually had a good reason to be early for church. Your mother was the daughter of the pastor ,and the head manager of the whole church. Everyone knew that.

Your mother was always known as the typical 'preachers daughter' ,but she also did things out of church like ,help with school fundraising ,donate to charities. It was safe to say she was big part of the community. But she didn't do all that to be part of the community. She did it to earn respect. An seeing someone park in the parking space that she's been parking in since she was sixteen and had gotten her first busted up car. Drove her mad. Rightful so, she earned that parking spot ,or atleast she believed she did.

Getting out of your car and walking towards the car that 'stole' your parents parking space. You noticed that it was a very nice car. Like a very ,very nice car. Something that you doubt anyone in you town could afford.

'Maybe their knew and mom will show them mercy.' You think to yourself. They were most definitely rich that was for sure. If they were knew they definitely came to the right place. Everyone important came to this church. So if they wanted to feel included in the community today was the right day. Especially since everyone was going to bring some kind of food to eat at the church ,today.

Everyone in town knew your family. That being said everyone in town knew you. Your grandpa was the pastor, but not only the pastor he's a judge. The only judge that your town has. He was kind as a pastor and a judge. He truly does believe everyone deserves a second chance. He's definitely where you get it from. Your grandma was the towns seamstress everyone knew that if you wanted a dress or a suit you go to her for the best of the best. Unfortunately for them she only made you the best of the best ,and sure others were jealous. But they also wanted to get on her good Side. fortunately for you, you never wore hand me downs dresses. Your grandma wouldn't allow it.

Your father was the sheriff and more often then not he butted heads with your grandpa. Solely because when he would put someone in jail your grandpa would 'turn the other cheek' ,and let them go the next day.

Your father was tall and quite intimidating. He's probably the reason you've never had a boyfriend. It's a small town and it's not hard to see that your the sheriffs baby. Sure your brothers the youngest but your his princess, his angel, his world. And no one wants to get on the sherrifs bad side, especially not with the connects your family has.

Your uncle and aunt are definitely the ones that spoil you the most. With your uncle being the mayor and your aunt being a lawyer. They definitely have some money. Sadly your aunt is infertile ,and their always so busy so they know they won't be able to adopt. So they treat you and riley as their kids. An In their hearts you two are their kids.

You know your family has controll over this town. Not only by what you see but by how people treat you.

Today's no diffrent than any other Sunday except for the fact someone 'stole' your parking space. Just like clock work you walk into the big church door and are greeted with friendly smiles and waves. By now though you can tell the difference between the real ones and the fake ones.

You hug you grandmother and she's excited seeing you wear the dress she made for you. You thank her and decided you should look for your grandfather since he's usually the first one that greets you at the door. How unusual. You walk by the church kitchen and spot your mother and father working on putting some food away. You can just hope your mother's not angry anymore or it'll definitely ruin your sunday.

You smile as you spot your grandfather talking to someone in the hall by the bathrooms. Not wanting to interrupt you simply offer a kind smile to your grandpa and begin to walk to the stage. But your grandpa had other plans. "And this is my granddaughter. " Your grandpa says pointing at you. Feeling awkward you just smile and slightly wave.

"Come say hi to are guest ,sunshine" Your grandpa says motioning with his hand for you to come closer. "Hello" you say with a small wave.. "Hello I'm bruce wayne and this is my wife talia." The man says gently shaking your hand and pointing at his wife. You offer the women a kind smile to which she doesn't retaliate. Shaking her hand she almost looks disgusted by you but you shake it off. Maybe she's just shy. " Well I'm y/n. Nice to meet you." You say and the women simply rolls her eyes. 😁

You suppose your grandpa saw that and got offended for you because of what he says next. "Well sunshine the Wayne's are in need of some land and since are towns land connects right to gotham their trying to by some." Your grandpa had said. It was true your towns land did connect to gotham. But you also knew that other people had already tried to buy land in your town but couldn't. Due to the fact that all the people in your town were plain stubborn.

If you hadn't know your grandpa and your town like the back of your hand you would have thought that your grandpa was just telling you what the Wayne's wanted. But you did know your grandpa ,and town like the back of your hand. You heard the teasing tone in your grandpa's voice and how his smile slightly betrayed him.

To the waynes it was a simple conversation just your grandpa telling you what they were talking about. But between you and your grandpa it was like mocking them. Which you've never seen your grandpa do. Especially not in the church. You knew that the people in your town had a hard time selling cows because of how possessive they are.

Your town was small because of its small number of people ,but it wasn't small in land. No it was quite the opposite ,in land. Your town was probably as big as gotham or maybe even bigger ,in land. Just not in people. And your town liked that. They liked what they owned. They liked having to work hard to keep what they have. Not only for themselves but for their children.

They found confort in knowing everyone in town. So did you. You smile kindly at what your grandpa says playing along in his 'teasing' manner.

"Well, that's exciting." You say staring at the women with the greenest eyes you've ever seen. "Well sunshine why don't you say hi to their children, they do look awfully lonely." Your grandpa says. Looking at their children, all boys ,sadly. Maybe if they were girls you'd have something to talk about ,but their boys. They do look rather lonely or maybe that's what your saying in your head to have some courage to go up to them.

Why your grandpas so sweet to these people you'll never know. You don't want to see these people any longer but you doubt they'll leave before the service and they have kids. Hopefully their kids aren't as rude.

"All right grandpa." You say hoping these people don't hurt your grandpas feelings. Your grandpa did have a sensitive heart after all.

Walking toward the group of boys you had began feeling nervous. What would you talk about. No, what could you talk about. They are nothing like you ,and if they were anything like their mother than you already disliked them.

Maybe it was God listening to you or just luck but before you had reached the boys. You heard someone call your name. To Your surprise it was Lola your bestie. She smiled widely as she waved at you. Quickly changing which direction you were walking you smiled back at her.

"You're actually early today." You say giving her a hug. "I know ,right. My mom wanted to come earlier to help with the food." Lola had said hugging you back. Lola family was usually almost late to church. So you didn't expect to see her so soon ,but oh how grateful you are that she's here today! Today was truly gonna be a good day...

"What were you doing before I came?" Lola asks breaking away from the hug. "Well some knew people came today. So my grandpa wanted me to welcome their kids and make them feel comfortable." You say slightly motioning to were the Wayne's kids are sitting. "So thats who parked in your parking spot ,today. " Lola says kind of shocked. "Yep , my mom was pretty angry." you say kind of laughing. "Well everyones already talking about it." Lola says.

"Do want to come say hi to them with me?" You question hoping she says yes. "Why not." She says shrugging her shoulders. "Come on." she says grabbing your hand and walking towards the wayne children.

Walking up to the group of boys the seem to stop talking about whatever they were talking about. And just stare at you and Lola. Standing in front of the boys your usually extroverted best friends mouth goes dry. You could definitely understand why. I mean these boys practically looked like models.

The silence was just to awkward so you had to swallow all the anxiety that you had and be the first to break it. "Hello my names y/n l/n." You say reaching out to shake their hands. The first boy that reaches out is not the tallest but does look like the oldest. He has black hair and baby blue eyes. "My names Dick." He says shaking your hand with a kind smile. He definitely was a sight to look at.

The next one is definitely the tallest. He has some what of a aggressive presence when you shake his hand and has a white streek in his hair. "The names jason." He says shaking your hand and you can tell he's forcing the smile he's giving you.

The third ones the smallest but you don't think he he's the youngest. "My names Tim Drake." He says gently shaking your hand. You can tell he's the more manned one by how he presents himself. He definitely seems friendly or atleast the less intimidating one.

Then you reach out to shake the last boys hand. He looks the youngest. He also resembles his mother and father the most. You look into his eyes as you shake his hands and notice their just like his mother's. "Damian." He says almost as low as a whisper but you heard what he said.

He looks as if he's glaring at you as you begin to speak but you ignore it. "We'll we just came to welcome you to our church. It's not everyday we get new guests." You say with the kindest smile you can manage.

"Well thank you. The people in gotham aren't nearly as nice as the people in your town are." The boy tim says. With a kind smile matching yours.

Your sure that if you were in a cartoon you'd have heart eyes right now. He was just so pretty.....Snapping yourself out of whatever trance you were in ,you begin to speak.

"Well, we try. So you guys live in gotham?" You say wanting to asking a million questions ,but you don't. "Yeah. Wait you don't know who we are. " The one that's named jason says. You slightly turn to look at him forgetting he was their for a moment. "No?" You say hoping to not embarres yourself. You are the niece of the mayor after all. Your supposed to know some important people.

"Well thats knew." Dick says as he scratches the back of his head. Almost like he's embarrassed that you don't know him. 'Who are these people.' You say in your head. But sadly the last name wayne just doesn't ring a bell. "N/n mama says that you need to help set up the stage." Your brother says running up to you. Thank goodness your brother saved you. You were literally about to pass out from embarrassment.

" ok , riley." You say gentle patting his head. An just as quickly as he came ,he left. "Well we have to go set up the stage ,but I hope you guys enjoy the service." You say grabbing Lolas hand. "Well thanks for talking to us." Dick says awkwardly and everyone slightly cringes at his words.

Finally getting enough distance from the Wayne's it's like you can breath agian. And you suppose Lola feels the same by how she Finally snaps out of the trance she was in. "They were sooooo hot!" Lola says practically jumping up and down.

You snicker at how excited she is. Even though she didn't say a word to them." Yeah hot enough to make you mute." You say. "Can ya blame me they look like angels. Especially the one with the blue eyes and straight hair. " She says walking up the stage stairs. "What was his name agian." She questions " Tim." You say smiling. " Of course you remember. You were practically drooling at him." She taunts but you know she's just teasing. You playfully roll your eyes and smile. "Come on we gotta get everything ready." You say nudging Lola's shoulder. "Yeah ,yeah gotta make sure everything's perfect for your future husband." Lola says nudging you back.

--------------------20 minutes later--------------------

They service began soon enough. You watched from you seat behind the preacher were all the choir members sit. You watch as everyone takes their seats and watch as the Wayne's sit near the front. You can practically feel your mother's anger from were you are. The guest never sit up front. Never.

Your grandpa began to preach as he usually did. With confidence and pride. You can tell he loved what he did and you admired him for that. While some might say that this was the best service your grandpa ever preached. The Wayne's seemed to differ. The Wayne's were obviously different then the people in your town ,but did they have to look like they were in pain while your grandpa preaches?

Soon enough it was your choirs time to sing the closing songs. You sang with confidence and peace as you usually did. But you couldnt shake the shiver that ran down your spine as you saw the Wayne's families eyes stare at you like you were an object.

Like you were prey.

You obviously don't understand that, that's what you are to them. Prey.

Just a funny what if

The classic batfam being used to summon the ghost king scenario. Danny claws his way out of the circle and tries to intimidate everyone

Danny: WHO DARES-JOHNNY13?! Is THIS Where you've been this whole time?!

Jason: unfortunately.

Danny: wait, are you alive?!

Jason: unfortunately.

Danny: is that your family???

Jason: UNFORTUNATELY

[Later]

Jason: kid, wait up!

Danny: ?? What's up?

Jason: take me with you, PLEASE! I can't deal with their constant drama!!

Danny: John-JASON, I really don't think That's a good idea! With your family being overprotective as it is, your.....weird biology of being essentially a halfa ZOMBIE. I'm honestly concerned about what would happen if you went back into the zone.

Jason: kid please! There's hardly any ambient ectoplasm here that ISN'T tainted to high hell! Look, you can get a doctor or something if it'll make you feel better but I REALLY need to go back!!!!

Danny: *sighs* fine fine! I'll get frostbite. Just wait here for a little bit!

Jason: YES!!! THANK YOU KID!!! YOURE A LIFESAVER!!!!

Danny: uh huh, just don't die again. Oh, and btw, you might wanna start running now.

Jason: huh? Why?

The batfam, misunderstanding that entire conversation and gearing up to smother and protect Jason at all cost:

The Bike who drove itself home the moment Danny appeared because it knew Jason was gonna be fine:

---------

Frostbite isn't one for swearing

For one he's more than often surrounded by younglings and the other is to maintain the image of his tribe. For if he were to start swearing like a sailor, the rest of the yeti tribe will be sure to follow. And of course it'd be nearly impossible to reverse such a thing.

So when he met with the great one's distressed friend, all he could do was freeze as he desperately tried to pick his words VERY carefully.

What....

What the FUCK was he LOOKING at?!

This.....this poor thing is SERIOUSLY ILL!!

Oh-wait! The great one was saying something, he completely tuned him out!

FB: Great one, we MUST get him to the infirmary IMMEDIATELY!!

Danny: huh? Why? Is it really that bad- *Frostbite grabs Jason and runs back into the zone* -and wow he didn't even wait, this must be serious.

------

Frostbite......has no words.....

This......shouldn't be possible....

And yet for some reason it is....

FB: You have a parasite.

Jason: huh?? Like a virus?

FB: yes.....Which shouldn't be possible.

Jason: what?? How? I'm technically alive right?

FB: yes, but that's not why. It's the parasite itself, that's the impossibility!

Danny: what do you mean?

FB: it appears the parasite is mimicking a central nervous and vein system out of ectoplasm not unlike what the Great one has, hence your reserection.

Jason: and that means???

FB: it essentially means you have a second core! But it appears unfinished. Though I am curious as to WHY it's using itself so diligently to keep you alive...

Danny: so what were to happen if we were to remove it?

Jason: ?!?!?!

FB: he would have to be put in an intensive care treatment immediately as the shock would no doubt threaten to stop his heart or rupture his core.

Jason, trying to keep himself calm: so there's no way to fix this?

FB: on the contrary, it appears your body might be trying to absorb it. Or more specifically the corrupted ectoplasm that came with it.

Jason: ok?! And??!

FB: well if we get rid of the corrupted ectoplasm, the parasite SHOULD be weakened enough to the point we can just take it out, simple as that.....in theory.

Jason growled, green coating his vision. Before getting a small electric shock in the neck

Jason: OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!

FB: it appears the parasite reacts to your emotions. If you get angry, it boosts your strength. Although unfortunately it seems to elevate your emotions as well, which seems to only confuse the parasite more till the threat is neutralized or out of sight.

Jason: so, what? It's sentient??

FB: it appears so, however it doesn't look to be very smart. Only reacting to emotions and the stress levels in your system. Kind of like a blob ghost with it's herd now that I think about it.

Jason: .......ARE YOU SAYING I'M BEING POSESSED BY A FUCKING BLOB GHOST?!?!?!

Danny:

Jason:

FB:

FB: well I'm NOT not saying that-

Danny had to drag Jason back home before he injured frostbite.

content: jason grace x apollo!reader

warning: bad BAD writing, angst but then it’s fluff, blood, almost dying experience, octavian’s still alive, cursing, post Blood of Olympus

a/n: hello! this is my first request and i wanted to post it before the other stuff i’m working on (especially cause i can’t finish any of the shit i’m working on). this is kind of fast paced but don’t blame me, it’s 12am in brazil right now so.. yea. also, i kinda diverted from the whole hurt in quest thing, i’m sorry! i didn’t have enough ideas for a whole quest. but i hope you enjoy! oh and this is placed after the first book of TOA

⛧° 。 ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆༺♱༻⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ 。°⛧

Sure, a heartbreak did hurt. But have you been stabbed by Imperial Gold? Dude. Brotha.

Sure, it was a normal thing for you to argue with Octavian. Hell, it was. normal thing for everyone who’s sane to do. This scrawny boy was just… a piece of shit. Yeah. And the worst part? You’re related. He’s one of the “legacies”, whatever that is. That stupid roman dipshit.

And today was no different. You two were arguing about some trivial shit, as always, but things escalated quickly. Soon you two were sparring (how was a mystery, since you didn’t even know that thing knew how to hold a sword) and it was quite fun.

You see, you got to camp Half-Blood when you were just seven. Since then you’ve been trained all year, since you didn’t have any other family - besides the godly side of it, duh - and Octavian was… well, Octavian. You were much better than him.

The whole problem is that Octavian likes to play dirty. So eventually he makes you trip and fall and he leaves gashes around your arms and legs. But with imperial gold it was sort of painful.

Till one of those times came again, but this time he didn’t leave a gash or a scratch. He stabbed you right in your stomach.

“Oh, gods!” He said, with fake concern. “I’m so sorry, cousin! My bad. I should go looking for your boyfriend, right? But… i didn’t see nothing. Bye!” The blond said with a devilish grin and left.

You knew you needed help. You were applying pressure to the wound, trying to use your healing powers to at least slow down the bleeding.

You tried to get up to look for help, but it was almost impossible. Even with that, you had to. ‘Oh, come on,’ you thought, ‘i’ve faced Kronos, Gaea and Annabeth mad at me. I’m not gonna die for a stupid legacy.’

And that’s exactly what made you move your body towards the via principalis, where you knew someone was gonna help you.

When you got there, the first person you saw was - thanks the gods -, Reyna. When the praetor looked at you, her face was horrified.

“y/n? What-“ She began, but you cut her off.

“I-i’ll explain later. Just… medical cabin. Please.” You begged, your words barely above a whisper.

Reyna nodded and helped you lean on her for support, as she walked you towards the medical cabin. You didn’t know the name of the boy who was currently there, but he looked as horrified as Reyna.

“Oh gods. Oh, my gods.” The boy said and you smiled, trying to fight back the urge to pass out.

“Ha, thanks. I thought it was bad.” You half joked as Reyna and the unkown boy put you on a vacant stretcher. When you were laid down, you looked up at Reyna with pleading eyes. “Bring Jason here, please?”

“Of course. I’ll go find him. The brunette said and left the medical cabin.

“Ok. uh… care to tell what happened with you?” The boy asked and you turned your gaze back to him.

“Got stabbed by imperial gold. What’s your name?” She asked, but the look in the boy’s face didn’t seemed to register the question.

“My gods… i’ll do my best to help you.” He said and grabbed a bottle of nectar, pouring it to your mouth. “Ok, i need to-“

Before he could finish, a certain blonde boy barges past the doors, looking around the medical cabin, desperately trying to find you.

When his gaze fell into you, he rushed to your side, grabbing your hand. His eyes were glossy behind his glasses and she knew he already wanted to cry.

“Y/n, what…? What happened? Are you okay? Who did this?” He asked, and she tried to laugh, but the pain was becoming unbearable. You couldn’t even talk anymore, as the only thing that came out of your mouth was a whiny breath. “It’s okay, i’m here with you, hm? I won’t leave.”

He kissed your forehead and you squeezed his hand softly just before you felt a tear fall in your cheek. That was the last thing you heard or saw before passing out.

⛧° 。 ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆༺♱༻⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ 。°⛧

Jason is desperate. He’s beyond worried about you.

He knows what imperial gold does to someone. Gods, he was stabbed by imperial gold before. And if she wasn’t treated in the right way… he didn’t even want to think about it.

But other than that, he needed to know who did this. He was going to kill this person with his bare hands.

It had been two days since you blacked out and you hadn’t woken up yet. He was starting to get even more worried, but he hadn’t left your side for one second. You couldn’t even go back to Camp Half-Blood (obvi), so your closest friends and family came to visit.

Will had cried his eyes out when he saw her there. Nico had to comfort him as his pupils leaked salty water. Lester/Apollo was back from his quest with Meg, and he also came to visit his daughter. The man was very… emotional, let’s say that.

But on the third day you were finally beginning to wake up. Of course, Jason was there.

“Hey, honey… you’re back, hm?” He asked, caressing you hair as you smiled, trying to reassure him. It still hurt as hell, but it could be worse. You could be dead.

“Hey…” She mumbled, her voice a little smudgy. “How long was it out?”

“A few days. But you’re back now, that’s what matters the most.” He said as he gave you a soft kiss on the lips. It was no tongue, just affection. He was showing you he was there for you.

“I feel fine. Like, not fine, but definitely better.” She said, as she pulled away from him.

“Yeah, i imagined. But, baby, i need you to tell me something.” Jason said, still holding your hand softly.

You nodded, waiting for him to elaborate.

“Who did this to you?” He asked, and you felt him squeezing your hand tighter. His voice was also harsher, as if he was restraining himself from killing someone.

“It was… it was Octavian.” She said, in a whisper-like tone. His face hardened immediately as he got up and went to the boy that was standing at the door.

“I need you to call Reyna and Frank. Tell them it’s an emergency.” He said and the boy quickly left.

Jason rushed back to your side. “I swear i’m gonna kill that son of a bitch.” He muttered.

When you were about to answer, Reyna and Frank rushed past the door, both looking worried. Behind Frank, there were a few other people - Will, Nico, Hazel, Annabeth, Piper, Leo and Percy -, all looking worried.

“You’re alive!” Will shouted and rushed to your side, tears welling up his eyes again.

“What, you thought that a little stab was going to kill me? Please.” She scoffed and Will laughed.

“So, who did this?” Reyna asked, also going to your side and stroking your shoulder softly.

“The most stupid, idiotic, son of a bitch augur that we ever had.” Jason said through gritted teeth.

“Octavian did that? I knew he was annoying, but at this level?” Percy asked, his face contorted in a mix of anger and disbelief.

“Mhm. We were sparring but… he likes to play dirty, i guess.”

“I’m gonna murder him.” Will groaned.

“Get in line.” Jason, Percy and Nico said at the same time.

You chuckled a bit, even if it hurt. Cause you knew, with that family right there, everything was gonna be fine.

a/n pt2: so… i like it but i don’t but i do. u get that? yea. i don’t know, i think i could do better, but i kinda liked it. I was going to make octavian’s trial and all but it would be too fucking long, so i gave up. that’s it for today, sorry that it took so long!

‧₊˚໒꒱ i cant save us, my atlantis, oh no...

────────────────────────────────────────────

~ characters : technically featuring all of the argos ll and calypso + will, leo valdez x jason grace, a little piper mclean x reyna avila ramírez-arellano

~ synopsis : once leo told his plan to hazel and frank, they couldn't just sit by and tell no one. they thought telling jason would be best, but made him swear not to tell anyone, not even leo, that they'd spilled. jason snuck a note into leo's pocket before he defeated gaea, which he opened once he'd gotten safely to calypso.

~ tw(s) : mentions of fire and death and queers. im so sorry there's a lot of spoilers. leo is in love with calypso, jason and piper aren't together. also pipers the only one who knows about jason's feelings, since they'd seperated over feeling romantic feelings for people of the same gender.

────────────────────────────────────────────

"WHAT!?" jason yelled. hazel's eyes widened, and she slapped her hand over his mouth while frank glanced around uneasily.

"shut it, grace!" she hissed. "leo can't know we told you!" he nodded, and she eyed him. "better not spill, ok? no one can know." she lowered her hand, and jason stood there, unable to process exactly what hazel had told him.

leo was gonna go through suicide to save everyone else? he felt his breath shorten, his heart heave. gods, he couldn't let leo do that. he just couldn't. he felt his head swim, his chest ached.

"um, wait," he stumbled, stepping back as he started to lose his footing. frank reached out, pulling him back up. hazel and frank glanced at each other nervously, watching jason struggle. "repeat exactly what had happened again?"

hazel took a deep breath. "um, so, uh," she felt her own nausea overcome herself. she couldn't believe it herself.

"leo's gonna sacrifice himself at the final battle. he's gonna, um, cause him and gaea to explode, and he has the physicians cure in his possession. um, i think he has a way to administer it to himself," hazel murmured, getting light-headed. jason nodded, listening to her explain again.

"no..." he muttered, shaking his head. "he can't. storm or fire. it could be me," he said, trying to reassure all of them. frank sighed, shaking his head.

"nike told us one of the four that had gone down was gonna die. leo is the only person who overlaps both requirements." he frowned, and jason swore he saw tears sprout in franks eyes. frank quickly blinked back his emotions, looking into jason's eyes. "it has to be him."

jason couldn't believe it. no. no. he felt himself beg. he didn't want leo to die. not before he got the chance to tell him that he loved him.

"no. it won't be him. i can stop him, i'm his.. best friend." his voice lingered on those last words, shaking his head again. if he said the words enough, he hoped they would come true. yet, deep inside, he knew frank was right. leo had to die for the world to be saved.

"jason. leo can't know we told you. we.. we promised him. but we knew you deserved to know." frank tried to reason, putting a reassuring hand on jason's shoulder. gods, jason thought he was gonna faint then and there. his legs trembled, his body uneasy.

"but..." he looked up at them, blinking back tears. they both looked at his sad figure, like a dog you just wanted to hug. "leo. he can't just die on us." jason muttered. hazel glanced at frank, and they shared a knowing look.

"jason, is this really just about leo dying for us? is there... anything else?" she said, sniffling. he looked into her eyes, the glossy gold startling him.

"no. i just, don't want to lose my best friend." he assured. he took a deep breath, and looked at both of them. "i won't say a word to anyone. i need to be excused." jason said, asking for permission to leave. they both nodded sadly, and he rushed out, his chest squeezing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

once jason was alone in his room, he finally let himself understand what was happening. he felt tears spring into his eyes, and seconds later he was crying. gods, he didn't want to be weak like this. he couldn't let everyone see that the leader was breaking down in his room, crying over everything. but he couldn't stop. all of his emotions from the past flooded through, barriers crashing down that he didn't even know he'd had.

he finally calmed himself, his breath still unsteady and heavy. he took a deep breath, glancing around his room. he decided to finally think about what had happened, what the reality of the situation was.

jason knew frank was right. leo had to be the one to die. he was the person hera had chosen from the start, since he was born. he was destined to defeat gaea. he smiled a little, imagining leo beating up gaea, but the thought of him dying resettled in.

he promised that he wouldn't tell leo. he knew he couldn't anyways. leo's death was inevitable. no matter what he said, nothing would stop the future. the fates decided on it themselves. so, instead, he decided on what he could do. he got up, walking over to a small table that had a pad of paper and some pencils on it. he grabbed the supplies, and sat back down. he touched the tip to the paper, and words started flooding. his emotions, his feelings, his love for leo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"jason~" piper muttered, knocking on the door. she'd seen him angrily close the door earlier, and wanted to check on him. they were still best friends, even after their break up. she felt some rustling inside, and a crash.

"wait! don't come in!" she heard jason yelp as she started opening the door.

at a single glance, the situation was unreadable. jason was laying on the ground, the top half of his body all the way under his bed. his legs were flailing, and he hit his head, again, on the bottom of the bed. she heard him curse, and closed the door behind her.

"jason? are you... ok?" she asked, walking over to kneel next to him. jason quickly crawled out, blushing furiously.

"i-i said don't come in. ok?" he said, glancing uneasily under the bed. she followed his gaze. he was hiding something.

"jason. what in the hades is going on!?" piper exclaimed, moving jason so she could look under the bed. he pushed her out of the way and she looked at him confused, and angry.

"stop it! stop going through my things!" he argued, frowning. she shook her head.

"gods jason! what's going on! seriously! i'm your best friend..." she said, looking at him sadly. he hesitated, then sighed.

"i just... wrote something for leo. maybe, i might just confess." he admitted. piper nodded, a little surprised.

"is that what's under the bed?" she asked, looking back at the space under the bed. a folded up wad of paper was underneath.

"yeah. i would prefer if you didn't look at it." he said sharply. piper nodded again. she wasn't a terrible person. of course she'd respect her best friend's privacy. but something felt... off.

"you know i'm the daughter of aphrodite. i can tell when somethings off. is that really all?" she asked, standing up and holding out a hand to pull jason up. he accepted it, pulling himself up. they sat down on the bed, jason fidgeting. piper bit back a laugh. it reminded her a little too much of leo.

"no.. but.. i seriously would rather not talk about it." jason stated, and piper frowned. she was curious, but she was a good friend. if he seriously didn't wanna talk about it, she'd understand.

"ok, just know i'm always here. ok?" she smiled, putting a hand on his shoulder. jason glanced over at her, grinning.

"i know, pipes." he leaned into a hug, holding piper close. she hugged him too. gods, this hug felt better since they weren't dating. they sat back, smiling.

"ok, well, i gotta go... um... talk to annabeth. yeah." she said, standing up and walking to the door. jason laughed.

"yeah sure." he teased. "not thinking about doing anything else, especially thinking about someone named reyna..." he smirked, and she blushed.

"well, i'll tell her when you tell leo." she muttered, walking out of the room. she heard jason laughing still, and it made her smile a little.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

leo was working on some fine tuning of his mechanical work on the ship when jason knocked on the metal next to him. he jumped, and held a hammer out to him.

"gods!" he exclaimed, once he'd realized it was jason. jason was giggling, his hands up in retreat. leo put the hammer in his belt, shaking his head. "don't scare me like that again! how'd you even sneak up next to me?"

"magicians never share their secrets." he smirked, and leo felt his stomach churn. he couldn't believe he was gonna leave piper and jason. especially jason. his best friend. leo felt his smile slip, but immediately pulled it back up.

"well, gonna have to teach me one day, houdini." he teasingly punched jason's shoulder, then went back to working. "so, whatcha here for?" he asked, using a screwdriver to tighten some bolts.

"i... i just wanted to check in on you. you've eaten today, right?" jason asked, a more serious demeanor on his face. leo nodded.

"of course! aint gonna let my bro worry about my health." he grinned, glancing at jason. jason smiled, but still looked concerned. "seriously. i made some tacos for me! and dont worry, i drank water."

"ok. the official battle with gaea is tomorrow, are you sure you're ready for, um, that?" jason said, uneasily. leo felt his heart pang and his stomach unsettle.

"of course dude. i got some wicked plans up my sleeve!" leo noticed jason grimace still, and so he sighed. "jason, what's wrong? you've been acting weird. you like me or something?~" he teased a little, but saw jason bite his lip, and could've sworn he blushed.

"leo, gods, i'm just worried about you. ok?" he said. leo felt like crying. gods, he couldn't just leave jason like this.

"i'll be fine." he said firmly, resting a hand on jason's shoulder.

"swear it."

"what?"

"swear it on river styx." jason harshly said. leo felt taken a back. it was like jason could read his mind. he bit his lip. he couldn't just say no, or jason would know something was up. he looked away.

"jason, i'll be ok. i'm not doing anything stupid."

"leo, please." leo looked back into those eyes of jason's, sky blue, with hints of begging. he sighed.

"fine, whatever. i swear on the river styx that i won't do anything dumb." he said, and jason seemed a little better. technically, leo wasn't lying. he was going to be ok if this worked out. which it should. right?

jason grabbed leo in a tight hug, which felt out of character for jason, but he melted in it. gods, he was gonna miss this sap.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"hey." leo grinned, which was unnerving in the flames, his teeth like molten silver ingots. "i told you i had a plan. when are you guys going to trust me? and by the way -- i love you guys."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hours had passed, and the battle between the greeks and romans had subdued. jason refused to go the infirmary after his fall, stumbling as he looked in the sky, for a single trace of leo.

piper sat on the ground, still where they'd fallen. she was sobbing, her face in her hands, hazel rubbing her back.

"why didn't he tell me! he could've avoided it! maybe the prophecy was wrong!" she cried, her words coming out in hiccups. hazel grimaced, and held piper as she shook in a hug.

"piper, you couldn't have done anything. i'm sure of that. i'm so sorry." she was on the verge of crying herself, but piper took it harder.

and jason couldn't believe he just watched as it had happened. everything was too fast. falling out of the sky, watching leo blow up. his last words... gods, he felt his stomach churn. he was pacing along the grass, holding back tears. will and nico stood there, watching him.

"jason! you have to go to the infirmary! i will drag you there myself!" will groaned. jason shook his head, and kept walking.

"nico, so you're sure? he's not here?" he begged. leo swore he'd be ok. jason should've been the one to die. jason kept kicking himself mentally for letting leo pass like that.

"i'm sorry." nico repeated. they'd had this same conversation about 10 times in the past 3 minutes. "i can't feel his presence anymore."

"he was supposed to live. he has the physicians cure. why isn't he alive?" jason said, mostly to himself. the others watching in complete sadness and fear. leo's destiny had been written from the day he was born. he couldn't have died. not yet.

"jason, you seriously need to rest." nico argued.

"hypocrite," will muttered, and nico shot him a glare.

"not now, solace. jason, please." he begged. jason shook his head.

"maybe i can go up in the sky, look for him. there's probably a trail from the explosion, i can just follow it."

"jason, we talked about this. you're barely in any condition to stay here, much less go be superman." will argued. jason looked up and glanced around at his friends, the feeling of death and sadness settled around them.

no. jason refused to believe leo was dead. he couldn't be. he couldn't be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

leo woke up startled by the feeling of intense pain shooting around his body. he groaned, attempting to sit up on his metal dragon.

"f-festus? gods, where are we?" he muttered, his body feeling like it had exploded. well, technically it had, but still.

festus let out creaks and leo smiled a little. his plan had worked. first, he was alive. that was good. he watched festus put away a compartment that had the physicians cure. second, their navigation system didn't work.

he was gonna see calypso again.

"let's go! my plan worked! as they always do," he grinned, hugging festus. his sides hurt, but he was too happy to think about it.

"gods, that physicians cure hurt more than the explosion itself. did we do a good job boy?" he asked. festus nodded, creaking more. turns out he did save jason and piper from a painful death, and defeated gaea. wow, he really was a hero.

"good, good." he sad, his heart sore. it might've been from the cure, but leo was sure it was from the idea of jason and piper. he couldn't believe that everything that had happened actually happened.

leo bit his lip, and immediately regretted it. jason always bit his lip when he was nervous. piper and him always made fun of jason, saying he'd split it and bleed. leo shook his head, and kept looking forward.

soon the clouds parted, and they spotted the island. there was a girl who was frowning, suitcases at her side. leo smiled, and blushed. he was so excited to see her again. calypso.

"hey buddy, let's land. i'll do some quick repairs on you once we get down, yeah?" he asked, and festus started gliding towards land. leo couldn't remember exactly what occured, but next thing he knew, he and festus were crashed onto the sand of the island.

leo felt bad, seeing festus in such a mess. but he shook his head. he'd fix him. just, first he had to see calypso.

calypso jogged over to him, still frowning, but a smile teased her lips.

"you're late."

"you know, it's hard to tell time when you're in the real world." leo argued, grinning. we walked over to her and kissed her, the sweet taste of her lips making him smile harder. she wrapped her arms around his waist, and leo yelped.

"oh, you ok?" she said nervously. leo shook his head.

"yeah, i just must've had something in my pocket..." he mumbled, reaching his hand into his pocket. it was a folded piece of paper, but it was uneven, stabbing his side.

"what's that?" calypso asked, staring at it just as much leo was.

"not sure." he opened it. and he gasped.

hey leo, it's jason. i wrote this letter to you about a couple days before you died. frank and hazel were worried out of their minds, and told me. and be thankful they did. now, if you really did survive, you should be reading this. if you didn't, well, i'd rather not think about that.

if everything worked well, you are a hero. you saved a lot of people and kept innocent lives, well, alive. and you should be appreciated properly. i'm sorry i couldn't save you. i swear, i tried.

i really do hope you didn't die. gods, i might not be able to live with myself that had happened.

i love you, leo. like, more than friends. that sounds dumb, but yeah, i really love you. even as a friend. and i could never lose you like that. i was too scared to finally admit it, so maybe this letter could do that for me. i hope you're happy, safe, and alive. piper and i love you so much, and appreciate you more than you'll ever know.

with all due respect, jason.

leo bit back tears, blushing as he read jason's confession. he felt his heart rate speed up, his breath uneven. of course, even in a sappy love note, jason had to be formal at his signature.

"leo, everything ok?" calypso asked wearily, frowning. leo snapped back up, forgetting she was there. he sniffled, rubbing his eyes.

"yeah of course. let's get, um, going." he said, hopping onto festus' back. calypso eyed him nervously. leo noticed this himself, realizing he felt more distant from the girl now. she got on behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist, which he flinched at.

he felt confused. he loved jason too, but he wasn't sure if it was all platonic like he'd thought before. and the feeling of calypso next to him definitely wasn't helping.

he knew he was supposed to fix festus, but now he just wanted to get out of there, see his friends as soon as he could again.

he had to find them, tell them he was ok. he wasn't gonna leave like others did to him. he couldn't.

he was gonna go back to piper and jason. he swore it on the river styx.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~ an:

YAY! i was so excited to write this, sorry it is super time skippy and like, choppy. i started with thinking about what could've happened if jason knew about leo dying, and tried to do something about it. obviously, i wanted to mix valgrace in it. sorry i didn't use all characters in this, i got tired towards the end. thats why the leo pov chapter sorta sucks, but i loved this idea.

i did take an excerpt from the blood of olympus, leo's real words. it's page 465 for those who wanna see it.

i hope u liked this little angsty fic, and i rlly did like it. :3

[thenixkat]

also the president gave shoot on sight orders for the Joker. I dont think anyone would care if a superhero murdered the Joker who's orchestrating the mass death of thousands at this very moment, Nightwing. Get off yer fucking high horse

of course the Jokerization is randomly killing/dropping villains now. We can't have this ass pull have any real long term effects

faces

they got paid. so the doctor that diagnosed the Joker with a brain tumor was playing a prank on the Joker and didnt think it would go horribly wrong

folks making deals with that fuckin brainworm that i know is usually up to some shit

ok just spread the jokerness via tainted rain, sure, whatever

you were just fleeing from Joker the other issue why are you demanding being taken to him now? Fuck it, let Harley go to the Joker so he can rape and kill her, it's what she fucking wants right now. Let her get her dipshit ass killed.

also Dr. Langstrom is that Dr. Langstrom, the werebat. In this he turns when stressed.

there's a protocol in place for getting Dr. Langstron to calm his shit when he goes werebat. They shot him with some calming drugs

meanwhile, Harley is getting cavity searched for a 3rd time apparently by an overly gleeful lady soldier, cause sexual assault is funny when its lady on lady apparently.

Oracle calls in Huntress, a hero known for killing fuckers, to do whatever she feels necessary to save Robin and clear out some jokerized villains. Just dont tell Batman

jokerized, ugh, Killer Croc called dibs on some Robin wings

Nightwing you know better than trying to reason with the fucking Joker. Also staple gun

oh hey Batman put tracking devices in the costume upgrades he gave his allies. Gotta love that paranoid big brother bs. Someday folks are gonna get tired of that shit and beat Batman's ass

like that's rude as hell also fucking boob socks on the fucking bulletproof vest is a shitty art decision

i doubt Tim-Robin got eaten that quickly and Killer Croc is still fucking hungry. Tim's a decent-sized child, with plenty of meat

again, I don't think Tim-Robin is dead. An offscreen death in a miniseries that doesnt focus on him? I dont buy it

and even if he was he'd be back sooner rather than later

also since when does a superhero need to be sanctioned? I doubt Batman can keep every hero he doesnt like/wont bow to him out of Gotham

oh so now Nightwing is ok with killing Joker. It only took the Joker killing Jason, crippling Barbra, and killing Tim too. Damn, fuck you Nightwing

The Joker has to murder and maim multiple people that Dick is close to b4 dude would consider killing him. Man, I'd be pissed off at Nightwing if I lived in this world and had folks I knew murdered and maimed and the heroes only get serious when it gets personal

yeah, these heroes should have more enemies with the common people just for that alone. 'You had teh chance to stop a terrible fucker and chose not to. Repeatedly even tho the bodies kept pilling up' also the folks in charge with stopping the prison riot are …alive after getting sucked into a gravity well. B/c gravity wells transport fuckers to a pocket dimension instead of crushing the shit out of things in this world. They've been dodging the aquatic villains and murdering one villain who's power is he gets a new power every time he dies which is extremely unethical

Oracle switched positions and wants Batman to stop Nightwing from murdering the Joker.

let him kill the Joker and get him some therapy after, yall making this more of a problem than it needs to be

No shit Tim-Robin wasnt dead. They didnt even put a whole issue between the fake out and him being back

fucking bleeding hearted saps feeling bad about killing the Joker. Couldn't be me

Batman you should have let him die. Everyone the Joker kills after this is directly on your fucking head.

yall weak ass bitches. Everyone the Joker kills after this is on you all for reviving the fucker.

the put the Joker back in prison instead of just killing him. so he can escape again at some point for more adventures. Lex Luthor is the president, its not like he has fucking morals or that the global public doesnt want the Joker dead. Just kill him

and that's the end. There's no good reason for anyone involved to not just fucking kill the Joker

the villains dont like him, the heroes should kill him for the greater good and they'd actually be justified in this one case more than anything else, the world governments should want the Joker dead. No one benefits to the Joker continuing to be alive

[chimeraspark]

Ok I just finished reading the Absolute Batman online and after reading that I got a bit of an idea on how Dick and Jason can be introduced to the story

So we know that the absolute universe is basically taking the most important thing to a character or switching places like the joker and Bruce cause he is obviously rich (cause who else can buy their own personal helicopter). So what if we switch Dick and Jason's places?

So we know that Bruce lives in crime ally with his mom (a universe where at least one parent of his is alive unbelievable) and friends, so what if one night when he's like a year or two into the batman thing he goes fighting whoever while a young boy no older then 10 stealing the motherfucking wheels of his motorcycle and what if it was in the same zoo that he's dad died so you know it goes as usual batman finds the tires missing, he full on belly laughs cus those were some high grade tires or something and now they gone, Jason goes to back to get the tires batsy sees him blah blah blah now suddenly he's got a kid and he absolutely has not idea how to raise him

Now if mama Martha is still alive after a year she's got some questions to say to her son cause why is there a random kid in their house?? Where are his parents?? Of course she's not mad she's just worried then Jason explains his entire situation and she's like ok you can stay her and all and now she helps Bruce raise her new grandson.

He also doesn't become Robin cus i don't think this batman wants a kid running around in gotham, instead he raises him as a normal kid to the best of his abilities and Jason's living his best life he's got a loving dad and grandma, a roof over his head, food, and he gets to go to school so like cool😃😃 and generally it's all fluff

Course I still want him to die and it's all the same except this time he's not Robin and instead of the joker killing him its members the court of owls and you know he dies Bruce was to late. But I want it to be more angst cus that was a boy not a hero or sidekick or anything it was a little boy who died in his father's arms hearing him cry out his name

Now on to Dick! He's backstory is the same but Bruce couldn't come to the circus so he wasn't adopted and after his parents death he became a talon turning him into the court's newst weapon (Dick hates the court of owls for what they've turned him into)(he just wanted to be the greatest acrobat in he world).

Now one day he was ordered to kill a young boy nearly the same age as him (he felt a shiver down his spine with how similar they look) cus he's dad was causing the court some trouble and they needed to get rid of him but they were going to mentally destroy him first and ok he can do that so he stalks the two for a few months waiting for the right moment to strike (seeing these two interact with each other makes him miss them, he wonders if they'd still love him for the things he's committed)

After sometime he's got the kid and the other talons are torturing him and he's off to the side watching this watching this bull headed, stubborn kid bite, kick, and scream at the members cause the kid wasn't gonna go down without a fight and saying that his dad is gonna beat their asses while being whipped and... he didn't really know how to feel about it cause it was fun seeing the kid fight back but he knew the outcome, he knew the kid ain't gonna live and his dad's not gonna be fast enough still he felt kinda bad seeing the man cry out his son's name (he remembers it so vividly his mom calling out his name as they plummeted to their deaths the horror in their eyes a look he can see in his nightmares)

And yeah that's all!! I still have an idea on how Dick become Bruce's Robin since Jason was his son not Robin but I'ma explain that in the next post ✌️ (also sorry about my english, still have a hard time forming understandable sentences)

[haliaiii]

fav percy jackson character and WHY‼️ also a character u didn’t like/were iffy abt as a child but relate to now

Ok imma be real I never had a proper proper fav? But if I had to choose (this is gonna be really basic I know) I’d say Percy 😭

Not just bc he’s the main character but I really liked him a lot as a kid and even now I still fuck w him. He’s just great and holds a lot of emotional connection cause when I started reading pjo, we were almost the same age and now that I’m rereading pjo, we’re literally both seniors in high school 💀, although when I was a kid I think I also liked Leo a lot too, pretty much any character that had a funny pov

As for a character I relate to now it’s 100 percent jason

So when I was a kid and started getting into the Percy Jackson universe, I didn’t really know where to start (cause it was like my first proper series), but the ppl at school were reading heroes of Olympus so I assumed that was where it started. I knew who Percy bc I read the Greek Gods book prior so I was very confused to open The Lost Hero and there was this guy named Jason instead 😭. I didn’t really like or dislike him, but I was surprised to find out many didn’t like him. I think if there was another series that had focused on Jason like how there was one with Percy then it would’ve made public opinion of him way better tbh, bc I feel like people didn’t like him cause they were comparing him to Percy. Anyway I didn’t really think much of him, he was just kinda ok ig? Like he didn’t really feel like he had that much character to him (at first) and I kinda thought his relationship with piper was boring 😔

But revisiting it today, (and also post what happened in the burning maze), he has a lot of really cool hidden lore that I wished was more talked about 😭. Like his whole life was a straight up tragedy, abandoned by his mother at 2, raised by wolves and then had to join the Roman military and lead at a young age. Then when he thinks he’s finally settling down, Hera fucking wipes his memories and drops him in the middle of the US and he has to spend the next years of his life fighting a war. AND THEN right when he finally settles down again, piper breaks up with him but he still goes on that quest knowing he or piper will die bc of the prophecy but sacrifices himself anyway bc he cares about her and dies at the age of 16. It’s literally so sad, he never got a chance to experience what he wanted to do and spent his entire life accommodating for others. Anyway peak eldest sister energy even if he’s the younger brother 😭

Also another character I warmed up to a lot was Piper!! I originally didn’t like her “not like other girls” personality, but looking back on it I was kinda the same way 💀. Like I feel like she’s a really cool complex character and that gets overlooked, I think her negative feelings towards femininity kinda also stems from the weird brainwashing thing Hera did and her developing her sexuality. I actually started liking her more when she broke up with Jason and started dating her girlfriend, ( on a side note, I lament the fact that we’ll never get to see Jason and Piper develop their friendship cause I really think they were platonic soulmates and never meant to be in a romantic relationship).

I just think they’re both really neat by themselves! There’s so many other characters I could spend paragraphs talking about but we could be here all day 😭

Ty for the ask tho I had sm fun info dumping-

[mangoisms]

ok here are my current thoughts on ck and tim’s silly goose-ness and steph’s very low tolerance to it

aka an excuse to introspect on their past relationship and also my first ever attempt to write a canon character’s pov which might or might not be good so! You Have Been Warned

(also excuse any typos LOL)

“What do you think you’re doing?”

A slow blink. “Updating Redbird’s security protocols?”

The garage of Tim’s townhouse smells sharply of oil and rubber. But he isn’t elbow-deep in the engine today, just seated off to the side, laptop perched on his lap and hooked up to its system. ‘Updating’ it. God knows why. The Redbird’s security protocols are just as stringent as the Batmobile’s.

Jason once regaled them with his plan, way back when, to blow it up. Bruce included. And how he went about it.

“It’s got safeguards like crazy, right? Even when it’s idle or shut down. Come up to it, fire a gun, launch a missile—doesn’t matter. Not gonna touch it before the security protocols kick in. It can sense you on thermal, air currents, video recognition, all of it.”

“So, how’d you get past it?”

“SEAL-grade wetsuit. Invisible to thermal with reflection fibers that play hell with video. But the biggest thing? Going slow. And I mean slow. Like five seconds per inch slow.”

The insane attention to detail and paranoia runs in the family, obviously.

Tim had sat in for that. Stephanie remembers the look on his face. Begrudging respect, combined with a familiar twitchiness that told her he was absolutely dying to run out and start updating his stuff.

Question everything. That’s what Bruce says.

Tim tries to separate himself from it. He really does. It gets tiring, exhausting, to live like that. But old habits die hard and his big brain precedes him sometimes. Wondering at the possibilities, at the million-in-one scenarios.

Ordinarily, Stephanie has more sympathy for him. Really. But right now, after your phone call about his little visit to Circle K…

She’s pissed.

“Don’t play dumb,” she says, crossing her arms tightly over her chest.

“What is it that I’m playing dumb about?” he asks, averting his attention back to his laptop, keys clacking quickly, pausing momentarily as he takes a swig of Red Bull.

She tells him.

At the sound of your name, he stops.

But now that she’s started, she can’t stop. “Visiting her? As Red Robin? What are you thinking, Tim?”

The clack of keys resumes. The set of his gaze on the laptop screen is very intentional now. Avoiding her.

“It’s nothing, Steph,” he says and she almost believes it. But she knows him, so she doesn’t. “It’s harmless.”

“So, why won’t you hang out with us? Her? Because I assume you’re also avoiding her individually.”

A little sigh. Impatient. “I’m not avoiding her. I really was busy. Have been busy. You know how the heat messes with the city.”

It’s the excuse that bothers Stephanie.

Tim is making some kind of choice here. Choosing to favor Red Robin over himself, over Tim Drake, and it makes no sense. Red Robin isn’t your best friend. He isn’t even your favorite vigilante. (Black Canary is. She agrees, though it would be nice for Spoiler to get some spotlight but that is neither here nor there.)

You know who is your best friend? (One of them, anyway.)

Tim freakin’ Drake.

Stephanie knows why he’s avoiding you all of a sudden. The connection will be too easy to make. It’s why she—as Spoiler—keeps her distance. Tucks away her hair, hides her face even more, when she and Cass visit Circle K.

Even though! They had talked about telling you. Stephanie wanted to tell you so badly. You know who her father is. Was. You know how her mom used to be like. You know everything and you never once judged. You were, to be sure, a bit wary of them—the vigilantes—but most were. You wouldn’t turn them away if you knew.

If there is anything Stephanie knows, it is that.

But then she went away to Metropolis for a week and a half and suddenly, he’s visiting you as Red Robin. And he’s not trying to ease you into it, not trying to help you latch onto some clues, to make it easier—because they’d discussed that, too!—he’s doing it because… Well, she doesn’t really know. But there is a reason. She knows that much. A big reason.

It makes no sense to her, considering his feelings. Complicates things unnecessarily. Especially with how he’s avoiding you because of it, because he apparently got cold feet on telling you the truth.

And it’s the excuse… it’s the excuse that pisses her off.

Their relationship, back when they were kids, had some questionable origins. It did. Stephanie did things she wasn’t proud of. He did things he wasn’t proud of. It was messy. She tries not to kick herself about it—about being a silly girl in love, awed at the attention of a boy like Robin, knowing he was dating a girl (Ariana Dzerchenko, her name was, she would later find on) and making moves on him despite that, moves that he always, always went along with. Like two magnets that couldn’t help but fall together.

Don’t get her wrong! The blame is not solely on her. It’s on him, too. She shouldn’t have pushed. He shouldn’t have went along with it, knowing he had a girlfriend, too. He shouldn’t have held his knowledge of her identity over her head the way he did. He isn’t mean-spirited at heart but he had an advantage over her. He knew she was Stephanie Brown. She knew him only as Robin and nothing else. Not until later on that would change and that… that was another mess entirely.

But they were dumb and young. Stephanie tries not to hold it against herself. They know better now. She knows better now. Knows what she deserves.

But this feels too close to him crossing that line.

No, he has crossed that line.

Given one persona up for another.

Approaching you as Red Robin, while you know nothing of him, and doing god knows what…

Someone is going to get hurt.

Last time, it was him. The circumstances, Bruce’s unceremonious reveal of his identity to her—a mistake, an egregious overstep—it all culminated in Tim feeling betrayed. Betrayed that Bruce would reveal that to her without Tim’s say so, without even asking him if he was okay with her knowing. Betrayed that Stephanie went along with it.

This time?

Stephanie feels it in her bones.

The person who is going to get hurt is you.

You, clueless about these lives they lead, clueless as Tim monopolizes your time as Red Robin, all the while you have no idea it’s him. You, her best friend. Stephanie loves you to the end of the universe.

She doesn’t want to see you hurt.

The mere thought of it, of the potential fallout, leaves a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach.

“Steph. Steph, it’s fine.”

She blinks, coming back to herself. Tim is standing in front of her now, dark brows knitted together, blue eyes intent on her face. Concerned.

“You’re lying to her.”

“We’ve been lying to her.”

“Not like this,” she says quietly. “Not this way. You’re… This is too much, Tim. I don’t understand why you’re doing this. What happened?”

“Nothing,” he says. For what it’s worth, to anyone else, it sounds believable. But like she said. Stephanie knows him. For better or for worse.

And on that end, she also knows he is not going to budge. No matter how much Stephanie wants to drill this into him, grab him by the shoulders and make her point. Once he’s made a decision, he commits.

Or more like he’s dug himself into this grave and he doesn’t (can’t?) want to get out.

“This is a mistake,” she says. “And you know it. I just hope you actually try to fix it sooner rather than later. Because if you break her heart, I’m going to break something of yours.”

Stephanie loves Tim. He’s a great friend. They’ve had their ups and downs—even discounting their relationship—but they’re solid. They are.

But she loves you, too. So much so it sometimes feels like she’s going to burst with it. She’s never had something like that, like this, and in the end, she doesn’t want to choose, but Tim knows better. And because he knows better, you are her first priority.

Even worse, he doesn’t seem bothered by the threat. Relieved, if anything.

“I’m counting on it, Steph.”

Which is so unfair in so many ways (fix it, she wants to yell, don’t rely on me to come clean up when shit hits the fan—do it yourself!) but she’s had enough of this conversation and all the ways this can go wrong.

Maybe he will turn around. Maybe. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

But she doesn’t think so. He won’t. Not until the consequences of this, of his lies, of his excuses, come hit him in the face.

She wishes it weren’t like that—knowing what it will result in.

But some things you just can’t change.

She knows better with Tim.

She really, really does.

PENELOPE TODD / RED PHOENIX playlist

Eager to prove herself to both her brother Jason's memory and her superhero family, Penelope Todd, aka Red Phoenix, takes to the streets of Gotham... or at least the twenty blocks of her small island neighbourhood. But with a mysterious figure in a red hood and a strange cabal of Tarot-themed terrorists watching her every move, Penelope finds that being a hero may not be everything she'd dreamed.

The songs in this playlist are arranged to form a narrative, I highly recommend listening in order if possible!

(Open in Browser/external program, not mobile/app, and it should go in order without Premium)

Penelope made a choice... or rather, it seemed to make itself. She would go to Gotham. She would become the kind of hero who would make her brother proud.

Let the Flames Begin - Paramore Somewhere in weakness is our strength, and I'll die searching for it.

Do What You Want - OK Go Screaming at the top of your lungs, saying "Come on come on, do what you want, what could go wrong?"

The Great Escape - Boys Like Girls Throw it away, forget yesterday, we'll make the great escape. We won't hear a word they say, they don't know us anyway.

Wake Me Up - Avicii They say I'm too young to understand, say I'm caught up in a dream. But life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes.

Speeding - Lights The world in the rear-view mirror doesn't shake me, I haven't looked back there lately.

Sweet and Low - Augustana (This is Jason's song to Penelope) Ain't gonna make the same mistakes that put my momma in her grave, I don't wanna be alone. So hold me down, sweet and low little girl. Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home

Where We Belong - Thriving Ivory Hold on, we're gonna make it if it takes all night, hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light, don't fight it we've been running for far too long. We're going back where we belong.

When Penelope finally made it to Gotham, she found a yawning abyss of madness waiting for her. But she wasn't about to let that stop her.

Warning Call - CHVRCHES Say you'll remember to keep it all inside. You can run for the skyline, your eyes open wide

Show Me What I'm Looking For - Carolina Liar I'll pay any cost to save me from being confused

Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters I'll make my way back home when I learn to fly

Lights - Ellie Goulding I had a way then losing it all on my own. I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown

Once a week, sometimes even more often, a strange figure wearing a red hooded mask would follow Penelope on her patrols: breaking windows, firing guns at midnight, disrupting the peace. She had a feeling she knew this person and what he wanted from her.

Red Like Roses, Part II - Casey Lee Williams, Sandy Casey I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute. Couldn't bear another day without you in it. All of the joy that I had known for all my life was stripped away from me the minute that you died.

The Mother We Share - CHVRCHES Come in misery where you can seem as old as your omens. And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling

My Hero - Foo Fighters There goes my hero. He's ordinary. Reconciliation is never easy, but with a family like Penelope's, it was always worth it.

Latchkey Kids - Silversun Pickups We're outside and free from all tethers. So get off the floor if you're under the weather. What's in store is not so unusual.

We Are Golden - MIKA Teenage dreams in a teenage circus, running around like a clown on purpose. Who gives a damn about the family you come from? No giving up when you're young and you want something. Together, Penelope Todd and the Batkids resolve to take down the villainous members of ARCANA, together. Although their enemies were wealthy and powerful, they have never once had to learn how to lose something and Penelope Todd and her family will teach them!

You Get What You Give - New Radicals This whole damn world could fall apart. You'll be okay, follow your heart. You're in harm's way, I'm right behind.

Fight Gods - The Garages We're gonna fight gods, fight gods and we're gonna win. And nothing's gonna be the same again.

It seemed like all hope was lost. Being scrappy and determined was not enough when your enemies have no remorse, no mercy, no heart.

Part II - Paramore Dancing all alone to the sound of an enemy's song. I'll be lost until you find me.

No, it couldn't end like this. Not here, not now. Not while Penelope could still breathe. Not when Red Phoenix could still fight.

This Will Be The Day - Casey Lee Williams They see you as small and helpless. They see you as just a child. Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild.

Other Playlists

Jason Todd / Red Hood

Unnecessary Feelings (Phoenix Wright x Miles Edgeworth)

[zefforuins]

Writing a post-Arkham Knight fic and want the thoughts of a certified Arkham!Jason enjoyer: how do you think the rest of the Arkhamverse family (esp.Dick and Tim) would react to learning Jason 1) is alive 2) was the Arkham Knight 3) is now the Red Hood

Oh my god ok so of course because of the wonderful audio logs we know how Barbra would react! I think that the Arkham Knight audio logs are sooo well written and even though they’re short I think they give us a lot about how Jason feels and how he would act around like. Anyone who isn’t Bruce so I defo would listen to those again (also just listen again cause i love them <3)

One thing that's important to me is the fact that Jason’s anger is directed pretty much 100% at Bruce (and Joker but he’s already dead, so Bruce is all he has left). Do other people get hurt because of that anger? Absolutely. But Bruce is really his focus. He never blames Alfred, Barbra, Dick, or Tim. 

So Dick. The closest we get to seeing them interact is Jason sending Deathstroke to attack Dick and Tim, and he shoots out one of the tires in Dick’s motorcycle. He also doesn’t have much to say about him outside of the fact that “he was the first” and that he’s pretty good at what he does, and I don't think Dick ever really talks about Jason so this is going to really just be my personal opinion. I’m not sure how you want to set up him finding out (is it a direct meeting, does someone tell him etc) but let’s say Dick finds out because everyone has a lil regroup post game (im ignoring the knightfall stuff because the manor blowing up leaves no room for fun with the fam imo) and so Bruce breaks the news Jason is alive, and also straight up was trying to kill him. 

Something to consider: do we want dick to have seen that video of jason getting shot? He has a line in game that shows he knows Jasons dead. I guess I could see Bruce getting that video from Joker, waiting a period of time and keeping it to himself, and then telling Dick and Babs (like when he thought Barbra died). I feel like Dick would've wanted to know how Bruce knows and would've wanted to see the video, maybe get a lil pissed that Bruce waited so long to tell everyone or whatever.

Anyway I think the first thing everyones told is simply: Jason is alive. Dick’s overwhelmed, absolutely in shock because he definitely Saw Jason Get Shot And Die, and he’s like what are you talking about is this a joke is he okay and if he’s alive where the fuck is he? Jason was such a sweet kid and I like to imagine they had a good relationship in the time Jason was Robin, so I feel like this would hit Dick as hard as it does Bruce. Then Bruce has to tell them like yeah hes….sort of okay and he actually was the Arkham Knight 😬. Which Dick is just like. This is a fucking joke. That kid???? The lil dude who went bezerko over the amount of books in his room? Who was so fucking happy to be adopted into the family and to have a brother?? He’s the one who fucked up the entire city? He’s in shock but also like. Why would they lie to him so he just has to wrestle with the fact that Jason was the Arkham Knight. Bruce probably goes into how Jason didn’t actually die and was tortured by Joker and how he basically rewired Jason's mind and how the culmination of that was him getting revenge on him for abandoning him etc. Which is a lot to handle of course and I’m sure Dick feels terrible about it because if there's one thing Dick is gonna do is take responsibility and feel guilty over things that aren’t his fault. And even with that new outfit Bruce def knows Jason is Red Hood and tells them that as well. Which again Dick is just like.

head spinning cause how is that the kid he knew and literally so much has gone on since halloween and now all this info? I assume Dick knows about this Red Hood guy cause I’m sure he keeps up with new people popping up like that in Gotham and he probably knows his MO with the guns and killing and whatnot. Ultimately I think he’d want to talk to Jason, fully understand what's going on, bring him home and he’d probably slide some “hey lets not kill people” in there as well? He’d feel like shit for everything that happened but also I feel he would firmly want to talk Jason down from killing (but I dont think he’d be mean about it! I hate in the comics when people talk about that stuff with jason it so quickly turns physical or just gets like. Really pointed and mean :( hes my special lil guy and he should simply be allowed to do whatever he wants)

Okayyy now Mr. Timothy. Let's also go with post game regroup because Tim was out of commission for a lil bit post game I imagine so he’d have no way to meet Jason until he heals up. So, with Dick I felt like it would be a very personal thing. Because he knew Jason. But Tim never did. And so of course Tim is still a very caring person and would have heard about Jason and I’m sure feels some sort of connection to him in that way, but I think with him it's more “I know exactly how Jason affected everyone in this room. I saw how Batman changed after he was gone, I saw how Dick reacted when he saw that video, and I had to hear the pain in Bruce’s voice every time he mistakenly called me Jason and tried to correct himself. (which side note, i fucking love how thats canon and bruce straight up does it in game it makes me go crazy every time i hear it)

But something I think is interesting is that Jason never thinks like “this new kid is a piece of shit and doesnt deserve to be robin because he's an idiot, i should take him out.” he’s kinda more focused on the fact that Tim is probably going to get hurt just like he did. (he does call him a sick joke and later replacement once in AK:Genesis but that really feels like joker stuff, and I think once he was less revenge focused and was able to see that the world that Joker had built for him isn’t reality he wouldn’t really think too badly abt Tim and literally as Im writing this I get to the part in AK:Genesis where Jason sees his memorial and he calls HIS uniform a joke as well, so I wonder if that remark has less to do with Tim and more with how he sees the persona of Robin in general, and if his own experiences have now tainted the way he feels about it. Jason is well aware of how broken he is in game, and so I think there's a level of self hatred in him that he may be projecting) When he’s in Arkham Knight Mode he's very laser focused and he doesn’t have a personal connection to Tim so he never tries to like save him or something but he does remark on the fact that he thinks Bruce’s whole thing is bull and that he doesn’t think Bruce cares about Tim because Bruce didn’t care about him either(from his warped pov obv).

(First image is from AK:Genesis, Second from the Batman:Arkham Knight Annual where Jason gets injected with fear toxin and hallucinates this fight with Tim)

Sooooo I don’t think there would ever be any rivalry between the two. Maybe a bit of worry from Tim of like damn is he gonna fucking hate me?? But it’s not an issue really. But anyway, less personal connection to Jason but still incredibly sympathetic. Red Hood reveal, def knows what the Red Hood’s whole deal is, and I would say is even more firm than Dick in the stop killing people thing. Again, he didn’t know Jason so I think were he to ever meet him on patrol he wouldn't sit there like man :(((( pls stop :((( i understand you and my heart is broken but dont kill ppl,,,,,<</3333333….. He would probably straight up just be like Dude. You cant be doing that around here. I understand that a lot of shits happened and you think that this is the best course of action but there is a reason Bruce never wanted us to kill. Please lets just consider something less permanent and let me take you to Bruce cause he definitely wants to talk.

OH and if you dont wanna do Bruce stuff and you just want it to be the kids you could easily have Barbra be the one who relays the info to them since she knows quite a bit and was able to have a personal convo w Jason :)

[batmanrogues-scenarios]

Thoughts on Batman Arkham Origins

Main Story

Opening is nice

Black Mask before Jason? That's interesting

Killer Croc helping Black Mask was a surprise

I don't think Roman threatening Waylon is good idea

It feels like Roman's normal voice is higher and he tries to make it deeper when intimidating people

Well at least Batman didn't let Croc die

I'm going to add some new characters

Also Bane wasn't originally in Gotham?

Of course, it was Nigma behind the towers, it's funny that Batman guessed his name

Can Batman stop choking people?

Gotta admit Electrocutioner has a style.

Aight nevermind that was hilariously lame lmao

Tracey is kinda cute

Yo Candy 👀

Falcone wanting his son back is somehow heartwarming

Hi Slade, didn't see you since Teen Titans

His fight actually looks interesting, the wacking is kinda funny

Love how confused he is by Batman

Penguin is a sleaz in this version

Anarky is like "We live in society"; nice voice though

No one's believes Roman is dead but its a nice mystery;

Ooh, first time he heard of the Joker

I find it cool that Anarky was impressed Batman saved those places; didn't expect him to be called a kid, how old is he?

The thing is, he is right in what he is saying, but it's the way he wants to solve these problems it the issue

Him wanting Batman to mentor him my heart! Baby, no, please just learn from your mistakes

Batman was right to beat these cops

Hey Barbara! Interestingly, Jim didn't like Batman at the beginning

When it was said there was piece of white clothing I knew it was Roman

Ok didn't expect the guy to force a Roman hand in killing his girlfriend, that was evil

The way that Joker is once again the main villain should be annoying, especially with the premise they set up, but I think they did it in a good way; it's honesty cool since it's the first time Batman had heard of him

The Mad Hatters bunnies 💀

The fucking sir bit lol, I would love to annoy him; his reason for controlling people is very interesting

Of course he fucking choked him

Wonderland looks cool

"Drained a bit of that willpower of yours" He just went through a fucking door, calm down

He really traumatized her huh?

The girl is laughing, definitely Joker gas

Wait, that's Joker in costume?! Holy shit he is amazing voice acting

And he just beat the shit out of the Roman!

(Since it was Joker from the beginning I can't use it for characterization? )

Is Shiva with Al Ghoul?

Of course Roman has heart problems because of his anger lol

He looks kinda nice tied up

FOR FUCK SAKE BRUCE STOP BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF LYING MAN

Copperhead scared the shit out of me

Ok that was torture, Batman wanted to torture a guy. BTAS would be so angry at his other self

Wait, is her venom is like a fear toxin?

Alfred's speech was sad.

The guilt goes hard in this

The problem with Deadshot is apparently dude is an imposter? I don't know how to characterize him.

Never mind, he wasn't in the game long enough.

Joker still doing BM impression is hot

Electrocutioner just playing a video game, dude really is asking to die

The guy who voices Joker does an excellent job, why were people complaining about him?

Yep expected it

Firefly looks cool

Bane is badass

Batman was allowed to beat Jokers ass

The Bane pose is seriously iconic

Of course Joker laughs when falling to death

Joker not understanding why Batman saved is very nice

Joker to Blackgate? That's gonna be interesting

Wait it's Harley?! But they meet in Arkham

The imagination is seriously weird but fits

Joker saying Batman changed his life is… interesting

Oh, his Red Hood backstory

Oh it's pretty gay not gonna lie

Wait, she thought he was talking about her while he was talking about Batman lmao

Alfred is trying to be a good father, fuck off Bruce

The Nigmas passwords are amazing

The cop just going 'Yup' kills me

Bane knowing who Batman is a nice twist

I get why Gordon doesn't trust Batman but he is helping with bombs, come on man

Aww they started to like each other

Alfred use the shotgun

I know he won't die because he is in other games but it's sad seeing Bruce actually be desperate

Looks like gloves were a good idea

"Don't drink and drive, you'll kill someone " "Yeah yeah what are you in for?" "Manslaughter " that got a chuckle out of me

He already has Harley around his finger, don't like how they changed how they met but at least her voice isn't so annoying

Why the fuck does Joker wants to die so badly?

"Maybe you shouldn't move?" Shoots them; Good job Jim!

Gordon is a good man

And that's how he earned respect from Jim, good job Bat; also it's nice for him to ask for help where the fuck did go in the future?

I love how Gordon just fucking hits sniper with a bat

It's fun; although Barbara should have looked up to her dad and just have Bat as inspiration for her suit but eh

Are they teasing Suicide Squad?

Initiation DLC

It's nice seeing what League was like and what they teached but it just fighting, boring.

Cold, Cold Heart

Now THIS, this is what I'm talking about

Love the opening, the speech was so fake

Didn't expected Penguin to mix

The fact that Bruce actually has respect for Ferris will make learning the truth pretty fun

The new suit looks goofy

Lmao the callback to future roof dropping with the Diller

The realization in Bat voice when he finds out what happened, perfect

Why did Freeze freeze Nora in her dress? She looks beautiful but it doesn't seem practical

She looks beautiful

Overall

Enjoyed it, might actually be my favorite game (and since I know few plot points from Knight it might stay that way).

[londiall]

SEAL Team S2 E2

And on to episode 2. Lets go:

S2 E2 - Never Say Die

Bio hazard? This looks like a not awesome way to start a show lol. Also, the name of this episode doesn’t help me any with the anxiety lmao.

Oooh. I like how the intro is them coming up out of the water from episode 1. Cool.

Congrats Jason, you figured out coffee.

What is Elmo though?

It doesn’t surprise me a million times over that Sonny got into a literal fight with a literal fucking tree lmao.

Ray, no sir. No. (Even if I know you’ll be back bc internet).

HIS HEAD IS NOT FINE. Why does no one know this?? 

OOOOh, we’re gonna meet the parents. (No - well, yes. I’m glancing over shirtless scenes from now on. All that really happens is staring and not really thinking anyway so it’s not really necessary........) This will end badly, I imagine. No parent wants that kind of pain for their kid. So they’re probably going to try and change Stella’s mind about being with Clay before something serious happens (also, wahhhhhhhhhh bc spoilers bc again, I have the internet) because of how dangerous is job is. Just my thoughts lol. 

I don’t care what anyone says, I really think Jason is a great dad. Home family and Bravo family can’t be easy to juggle. But then again, I feel like spouses or partners or whoever should understand what they’re getting themselves into marrying someone in the military. Especially a spec ops team member. Again, just my 2 cents.

Damn guys, 10 minutes into this show and I’m already getting wordy. That doesn’t bode well for the next 33 minutes of my life lol.

Oh good, they’re going into tunnels...I’m sorry, with ANTHRAX? Oh boy. Yep, worried about my boys rn. Nothing can go wrong? Sure. Then I wouldn’t have 31 minutes left of this show, huh?

So Mandy is in Mexico? Idk, I was writing a novel of a thought when she first came on. Didn’t pay much attention. Oops. Yep, that’s a body.

Oh Ray. I’m so sorry buddy. Of course Jason’s still being stubborn Adam.

I hate tunnels. Just saying. Lmao Sonny. Spiders. I’m sorry, no comms? I don’t enjoy this. Not good. Bad. Very very bad.

Hah. Hahahahahahahahahaha. Oml. Suckstart a pistol is a new one. Sonny, poor baby. It’s ok. Stinky boots and all, they still love you. Blame it on the dog lol.

Sorry, realized I watched into the tunnel scene without stopping to type haha. I’m still watching the tunnel scene. 

Oh good. An explosion. Because fucking TUNNEL. Jesus.

WOOOOOW that tunnel scene was intense. I also had to watch it 2 times bc my kid started throwing up while I was watching the first time. FUN STUFF. The eldest got sick first, about 4 days ago. Then the youngest started puking this morning. It’s fun having multiple kids. Anyway. That tunnel scene had me for a minute even though I knew they didn’t die in it lol. That play by Mandy and Blackburn was genius!!! I’m glad the boys pulled through lol.

I really need to find out how many nicknames Sonny has for Clay.

Ooop. Jason. Ray. Again, ooop.

Oooooooh, the parents!!!! Yep, I kinda had an idea how this was going to go. “I DON’T PLAN ON DOING THIS UNTIL I’M DEAD” I’m dead Clay. I’M DEAD. Dammit I HATE EVERYTHING RN.

Oh shiiiiiiiit Alana. Ok, for all the things on the internet, I must have not read up on Jason Hayes as I thought I did hahaha. Cause I was, indeed, shocked by that one.

Wow. 

Well, onto Episode 3!

All the love - A

[maybeigotwithsophie]

I almost burst out laughing

It’s such a fucking joke

Last night in bed I swore you were there

But I can’t see anything

I wake up bleary eyed and ask my roommate

Where did the devil go?

It’s a strange type of ghost

A trick of the light

Who knew fighting could make

A woman feel so alive?

Coming alive

When you were born dead

Aicha is here, and I heard what you said

I didn’t get your point

The first time your mouth quipped

We were taking our old loop in the cold

Because you were desperate to take me out of it

But I actually don’t regret it

Sorry, sir, offer rejected.

Sylvia Plath Would Beat the Shit Out of You

You were the football player I could never bring myself to talk to in class

I had another lover but I only liked him for his ass

You even lent my first copy of The Bell Jar

I thought “Nobody I’ll ever know could compete with that”

So I jumped when I was already drowning

The water was freezing, but I liked the thrill

You’ll maintain you don’t know why you avoided me

Since that night you were first came over to our side

Will we laugh over you yelling at my at the piano

When I was trying to using assertive beside you

You’re like the guy Lucy liked

In that show we watched

When you were upset and I reached out to you

And you didn’t say a world

I sat there for 10 minutes trying to force myself into ok

And then I ran to my bedroom and threw myself away.

Everything you wear is grey

And your necklace looked like jade

I know you stole it

It kills me to see you give your hot nights to another

While I’m hardly even cool with my mother

Linebacker, I guess I fumbled up the play

So am i on the bench today?

My therapist might ask me why I took this kind of abuse

I’ll shift in the chair and say I had a heart, why not put it to use?

I’ve read your annotations

And sometimes I still think its true

Like Jason would say,

Sylvia Plath would beat the shit out of you.

MY BOY PARODY

My boy wears a green sweatshirt

To hold all his spilling hurt

He purses his lip and his hair falls over his eyes

Adn you look over the fire and wonder if he’s laughing or trying not to cry

Did you go to your room to

Masturbate or think of her and cry?

It’s like that one time.

He stole it from his father.

It’s rude how he lies

And worse that he’s never gonna die

Guys like him just keep on coming

And the drugs he takes

Aren’t his favorite mistakes

But I’m not even on that list.

HIS FAVORITE MISTAKES

His favorite

Secret

Mistake

Was when he punched me in the face

And went to chat with his girlfriend

I swear It’s almost fun in the pool room

Crying to everyone

And hearing “he’s going through a lot”

I guess I wouldn’t know, glancing at you from the perch.

And I guess that’s why I still don’t trust him

He’s just another pretty face

But this time I’ll never crack the case

Down bad, i guess, for real.

Of why he doesn’t like me.

Everything was fucked

Because he wouldn’t suck it up

And treat me like his girlfriend

My actions could be seen as bad

But its him who should be sad

I like misandry when it benefits me

\

I hate his tan hair and white face

Annd his grey eyes

All over the place

I want to fucking kill him

But I’d rather kiss him instead

As soon as I remember

He’s an addict so I couldn’t bear to see him dead

An addict dead

And Evelyn, when they said “love yourself”

They didn’t fuck over everyone else

Your drugs aren’t the only things you abuse

You picked flowers like you picked drugs

In the garden, hoping to hook up

You make shocking comments

Say its funny cause

Monkey see what monkey does

I’ll hallucinate about you (distort reality)

Till you hate me

And then two years later, I’m come and beg you to date me

SHAMPOO

I got shampoo in my eye

And a part of me felt like it died

When I saw my eye go red

I ventured out and figured out

That wasn’t what you said

It feels off

To stand right here

In the suffocating silence

Knowing whatever flannel shirt

I wear won’t make you care

The disorder doesn’t care either.

OLD FRIENDS

Kylie’s smart

But she forgets that part

When she wishes she was dead.

Evelyn tried guitar but he didn’t get that far

Then he turned to drugs instead.

THE DISORDER

It’s always wrong if it wants to be right

It’s always day if it wants to be night.

If you’re feeling loose

Then you’ll shut your eyes right

If you’re already blind

It’ll take away your sight

Who am I

What I wear

What I steal

What I share

I can tell you

It’s hard to bear

Sorry, honey,

But the disorder doesn’t care

Ok I love this all but I can't help but think how this would change something major. I don't think Jason would die in Ethiopia this time around, Danny does.

Ok so everything goes pretty similar to canon between Jason and Bruce as he might have more parenting experience due to Danny but he doesn't have the street kid instincts that Jason does leading to different ways of seeing the world. However I feel like Jason would have a close relationship with Danny as while he wasn't a street kid he does have those "whatever it takes to survive" instincts even if they are more combat focused.

I'm putting the rest under a read more.

So the way I see this happening is Danny is on the case to prove that Jason didn't kill that guy Bruce and him argued over because he knows Jason to well (he's like a little boy Jazz) he's busy and Jason knows he believes him so when Jason goes to meet his mom he leaves a note for Danny who immediately despite being exhausted rushes to meet up with him accidentally forgetting his medicine or if he has the bracelets that help suppress the poison then he had taken them off before reading the note and in his worry forgets to put them back on.

So Jason still gets sold to Joker and tortured but he thinks Danny will save him because he left him the note and he's right Danny is only a few hours behind Jason so while not fast enough to stop the beating he was able to get there right before the bomb explodes and while it may hurt him Danny never would choose his own comfort over his family so he uses his powers to protect Jason.

The building comes down around them while Danny has the realization that he forgot his medication/bracelets and while at first he considers waiting for rescue due to knowing from how it feels that if he uses his powers any more he won't survive. But then he looks at Jason, his baby brother on the edge of passing out smiling at him because that's his big brother, he came for him and is gonna make it all ok, and then we cut to Bruce just git to the warehouse only to see burning rubble and as the despair filled him right before he can rush in to start digging them out, Danny walks out through the rubble holding Bruce's baby boy who is injured, Danny hands Jason off to Bruce who immediately starts performing first aid. Then as he's doing this Danny sits down on some rubble almost collapsing he has a smile on his face even as blood pours out of his nose.

Jason wakes up to his father crying and treating his wounds. They have an emotional heart to heart that I'm not talented enough to write. Then Jason says something along the lines of how he knew he could always rely on Danny and the turn to him expecting one of his puns only to see him slumped against the rubble with his veins clearly visible and black and the two rush over to his side.

Bruce recognizes this as the poison and asks where the antidote/bracelets are so he can get them and save him only to fall silent when Danny says Gotham. There isn't enough time and they all three know it. Jason starts crying and blaming himself only for Danny to shut that down he gives him a heartfelt speech about this is not Jason's fault that the only one to blame is Danny himself as he was the one who forgot and then the last line is, "If I could go back to the plane right after I took off knowing this is what would happen I would do it all over again, cause I'm your big brother and I love you."

So Danny dies and Jason is too injured to be Robin and I think it would be interesting if he decides that he won't fight anymore (you can also make it to where he has a permanent injury that keeps him from being Robin either way) instead he starts studying medicine and first aid eventually becoming like a superhero doctor/paramedic/first responder taking on the name Asclepius still breaking the bat and bird theme like when he became red hood but as its a constellation it's also a homage to his space loving brother.

Tim still joins the family like in cannon only instead of Robin he takes on the mantle of Nightingale because maybe Danny acted as a check on Bruce and as such Tim associates that name with his original goals as Robin. Also I feel like Dick becomes his Big brother persona as a way to fill Danny's shoes (cause in this he goes from middle child to eldest versus canon where he was the first Bruce took in) but I feel like Tim and Jason have a closer bond because they spend more time together and Jason was Tim's Robin.

Now here comes the interesting part we have a few options of things that could happen with Danny

1) he just stays dead he's the uncle Ben of the batfam

2) he dies and becomes a full ghost spending time in the ghost zone to stabilize before eventually returning to his family

3) he gets the Jason Todd treatment and resurrects when superboy punches the universe but he doesn't have any ecto at first so the poison has broken down and is no longer in his body but he's also not complete, Talia takes him eventually throwing him into the Lazarus pits which if we are going by common dpxdc fanon is either corrupted ectoplasm or a crack into the infinite realms I prefer the crack into the infinite realms for this because Danny gets sucked into the ghost zone where he heads gets back into the swing of using his powers etc before going to find his family.

4) the same as above except the Lazarus pits are not ecto so Danny gets the same treatment as Jason except he doesn't fall for the bullshit they try to sell him to get him to be more violent eventually leaving the league to return to Gotham (Maybe taking a young Damian with him)

So I'm going to continue with the option 3 but if anyone wants to do anything with the others feel free.

So now we get to the under the red hood arc except since it's not red hood I'm going to call it the ghosts of the past arc. So Danny back in Gotham with the full range of his powers and years of pranks to make up for dons a disguise over his ghost form starts solving crimes and showing up the batfam just like Jason did but with less murder. So we get to the rooftop reveal scene where they are questioning this mysterious vigilante only for him to reveal himself in his ghost form (this could work for the full ghost option too) and the family is stunned silent because they recognize him and have a emotional reunion.

This leads to an mini arc where Tim thinks he is going to get replaced by Danny coming to take his place back only for Danny to shut that down because in full Jack Fenton fashion he just is so happy about his new brother and so proud of how he handled the Nightingale title and asks him to keep doing a good job,

Tim- "Don't you want the name back?"

Danny- "Nah I'm going back to Phantom now that I have access to my powers."

So then the butterfly wings still effect changes because now we have Damian coming in and this time Tim does not have to give up his mask for Damian as the title of Robin is not currently used. Danny shuts down the Blood son nonsense fast because Damian can have that stuff all the others have their own legacies or goals and none of them include being Batman.

So Bruce still gets lost in the timestream and Dick and Damian are batman and Robin still. Why not Danny? Because Vlad after Danny died attempted to clone Danny and after coming back Vlad abandoned that idea only foe Danny to find it included to only one who had survived the neglect the infant girl (Vlad gave up before he did the rapid aging for her) so Danny is acting as a single father and because he won't let a teenage Tim do it he is also the stand in CEO for Wayne enterprises. So his plate is full and Tim saves Bruce like usual except he gets back to Grandbaby!

Also I didn't mention it in the stories but his relationship with the other bats is

Cass- best Big brother ever they vibe together quietly and he never misses a ballet recital (even if he has to use duplicates) and made David Cain and Lady Shiva decide not today Satan and avoid Cass because the fear the brother bear

Steph- he is almost more of a dad to her than Bruce I'd they just bond over crazy relative stories (Vlad and Cluemaster respectively)

Damian- he is a little shit to Danny at first but the lack of desire to take his "birthright" eventually leads to Danny being almost more of an uncle than a brother though Damian is still closer to Dick (though Danny is Damians first choice for a sparring partner

Barbara- Danny is her support system he helps her with the fact her dad was always working when she was younger and he is the one she goes to with any insecurities.

Duke- Power buddies all the way Danny is the one who helps him learn to control his powers and they feed of each others feral behavior (also Jason as a medical focused hero eventually cures Dukes parents though he is still considered a part of the family)

Also I feel like Danny has a soft spot for Harley due to how she might remind him of Jazz and would always be seen trying to convince her to leave Jokers pasty ass. When he comes back to life and finds she's left him and is dating ivy (another Rouge he's fond of due to the vibes being like sams)he straight up throws a party.

I don't really know enough about the other Gotham heroes personalities to say much about them but I imagine Danny is pretty universally liked even if they find his antics exasperating.

“Woah. You look like shit."

Granted, that’s probably not the first thing Danny should be saying to the guy that just bit the curb, but in his defense; he’s not running on 100% right now either.

The man -- tall, towering, and broader than Danny is tall -- whips around on his heel, black frayed cape flaring out impressively. Danny would've whistled in appreciation, but he takes the time instead to wipe the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing the blood running from his nose across his cheek.

"Sorry." He blinks widely, not even flinching as the man with the horns zeroes in on him. "That was rude of me. I have a really bad brain-to-mouth filter; Sam says its what always gets me into trouble."

And she's not wrong either, per say. His smart mouth is what landed him in this situation -- with blood blossom extract running through his veins and cannibalizing the ectoplasm in his bloodstream. Thanks Vlad.

The man grunts at him; a short, curt "hm" that shouldn't make Danny smile, but he does because he's somewhat delirious and probably concussed. The man keeps some kind of distance, sinking towards the shadows of Gotham's alleyway like he dares to melt right into it.

If it's supposed to scare Danny, it doesn't work. Danny's never been afraid of the dark; he's always been able to hide himself in it. He blinks slowly at the mass of shadows.

"You look hurt." The shadows says, blurring together around the edges. Danny squints, and licks his lips to get the blood dripping down his chin off. Ugh, he hates the taste of blood.

"I am." He says, "My godfather poisoned me. M'dying." The agony of the blood blossom eating him from the inside out looped back around to numbing a while ago, so all he feels is half-awake and dazed.

"Hey," Danny stumbles forward towards the man, a bloodied hand reaching out to him. "You-- you're a hero, right? You're not attacking me; which is more than I can say for most costumed people I've met." Maybe it's a poor bar to judge someone at, but he's already established that Danny's not in his right mind.

The man makes no change in expression, but Danny realizes blearily that it's hard to tell with the shadows on his face. He stays still long enough for Danny to latch onto the cape -- stretchy, but almost soft under his fingers.

He looks up blearily into the whites of the man's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't-- I don't wanna die." Again. He doesn't wanna die again. He blinks slow and lizard-like. "I mean- I'll probably get to see mom and dad again, but I told them I'd at least try and make it to adulthood."

There's a clatter down the street, and Danny's ghost sense chills up his spine and leaves a bitter, ashy taste in his mouth. He immediately knows who it belongs to even before the deceptively gentle; "Daniel?" echoes down the way.

"Daniel? Quit your games, badger, Gotham is dangerous for children."

Danny's mouth pulls back, and blood spills against his tongue. "Please." He rasps, and grabs onto the shadow's cape with both hands. "Please. He's going to kill me. Please--"

"Daniel? Is that you?"

His lips part, dragging in air to plead with the darkness again. He doesn't need to, the whites of his eyes narrow, and the cape whirls around him before Danny can blink. Soon swaddled in shadows, the Night lifts him up, and steals him away.
