#i know he has starfire but hear me out

[gothfoxx]

I’m kinda tired but here’s a little of what I’m thinking

Dick is contacted by the Titans when Raven picks up 2 very strong magical beings. Idk why, they just needed him there for some reason.

The place is a weird maze that messes with your mind as strongly as fear gas, thankfully Dick has experience with that kind of thing.

At the center he finds a really little kid sleeping in a strange nest made of feathers as long as his arm and shadows stronger than steel.

“You got a birdy on your chest, like Sissy.” The meta kid with the biggest most trusting eyes and dark eye bags says when Dick checks on him. “Yeah? Birds are pretty awesome.”

The maze straightens out on his way out, Danny cozy in his arms. Dick is having a hard time not getting attached, sleepy Danny is just going on about all kinds of things and really nothing.

The communicator goes off with a worrying yell at the exit, running out Dick and Danny see the Titans fighting a huge approximation of a bird-person-demon. “Jazz, Jazz! Look I made a friend!”

The Bird-human-demon immediately drops the fight and rushes to the pair, the rage melts away as the little kid makes grabby hands at the beast and it plucks him from Dick’s arms. “Yeah, my Snowbird? That’s great!”

More of her human-demon features become visible as she rocks and bounces Danny gently in her arms, eyes as bright and grabbing as turquoise softening as she listens to his rambles.

Richard John Grayson-Wayne felt his heart skip a beat.

Eldritch jazz

So while jazz was alive danny was taken by the GIW and jazz tries her best to free him.

But shes too late.

Afew years after danny was taken jazz finds the lab where danny should be kept at, she goes in and looks around, but instead she finds ruins and dust.

There are scratches and burn and frozen blaster burns everywhere, there was a fight but she dosent know who or what happened.

Thats where she hits a dead end, there are no more leads, no information, no witnesses, nothing.

Nothing to tell her where her baby brother went, the only thing there is a list of experments they ran on danny over the years, she couldnt get half way through the list before crying, thinking that her, sweet sarcastic little brother had to go through all that.

She lives her life half alive after that.

She married, got her PhD, had kids she adored and became a very respected woman in Phylogey. But she wasent always there

When she died her only regret was that she dosent know what happened to danny.

And became something other, when she passed, something strong and brutal.

Her ghostly obsession was to find and care for her brother or at the very least find out what happened to him.

She in her eldritch form traveled the infinite realms and found out that her brother is alive (dead) and was taken somewhere by something that took advantage that he was weak from experimentation.

She went on a rampage in the deserted lands when she found that out.

With the knowledge that her brother was in existence and possibly still suffering after all these years made her obssession roar and scream.

After months she managed to get a realm and name to where her brother is.

Klarion took her brother when he was in pain amd couldnt fight

And DC was the name of the universe her brother is in.

She found this klarion easily.

He liked to make a show of himself, show off his power and act like a spoiled 10 year old.

And he was using danny as a batery

He used her brother as a batery to fule his power.

She tore in apart in more ways than one, being a phyciatritrist had its percs

And for the fist time in years she saw her brother, his form has changed, now a 5 year old versin of himself, with blue galaxys in his eyes, pitch black hair and the most snow skin she's ever seen, but hes her brother and he's here with her now. And for the first time in its existence her core purred.

She changer too, after her death and over the years, her form was more of a concept then his was, like a bird and person together.

She picked up her baby brother and created a nest of sourts to keep him safe. She stayed with him for months, not leaving his side, jazz was glad danny seemed to recognise her even after all these years.

But she had to leave, she needed to cheak on afew of her informats and she didnt trust them around her baby brother. So she decided to leave him for a moment, an hour at most, just so he wouldnt become too co-dependent on her.

She shouldnt have left.

It was 30 minutes after she left that she felt it.

There were other people in her nest.

There were dangerous people around her still recovering baby brother. Her core and obssession driving and giving her more strength to get to him faster.

Whoever decided to get close to her baby brother is about to feel the furry of an older sister.

Dp x Dc AU: That one episode of teen titans where they all dress up as Robin + Tim being a gremlin about his legacy + Danny look alike/twin AU.

So there is that episode of Teen Titans where Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven all dress as Robin (Dick) while he's out and it's admitted that the outfit makes them feel cool. Imagine a young Tim hearing that story mentioned in passing by Dick while trying to manage what becomes Young Just-us. And then when Damain becomes Robin?? Gremlin mode activated.

Tim hosts regular 'Robin' Parties, where the idea is that you come in Robin colors, get a mask at the door and everyone gets to basically hang out in civilian clothes without the identity crises for those just getting started. "age appropriate" drinks, games, and good music are all staples. The parties become more frequent once Damian becomes Robin and he pointedly doesn't attend Tim's parties which... Neither of them are really happy about. Family is complicated, but finally, after a few years of cooling off, it's decided that Robin will actually host this years Robin party.

Meaning Tim shows up in casual clothes (MIT sweatshirt) and a mask, and Damian is actually dressed as Robin when the party is starting to get into the swing of things. The point of it is to make sure all the young heroes get to come and start to befriend each other, so there are a few people who show up and have to actually say that they're *insert alias* and this is met with basically "Dope, nice to meet you Robin" etc.

Insert Danny Twin AU (Or just look-alike fuckery) (for either brother but my brain is on Tim Twin au mode).

Danny decides to show up as his human self, grabs a mask at the door before coming in, and is slowly integrating himself into a conversation when someone grabs his arm- "Hey Red your brother is fighting with a newbie about meat products again-"

And Danny doesn't have a brother but my god has he heard this fight too many times with Sam and Tucker- He's going in and he's defusing this situation because he cannot handle the thought of this argument taking over his new friend group. He deals with it enough, okay?

Robin (like, the real one) looks at him curiously while Danny is talking down the other hero Robin (insert here), and the whole room notices when Robin doesn't take the opportunity to dismiss or belittle his older brother (Lmao because its danny). Damian cannot place his unease about Drake (again, Danny, who is not hiding his identity beyond a mask), and simply decides that this isn't worth the effort.

The party moves on but now instead of everyone calling themselves Robin, Danny is distinctly being called Red. It confuses him a bit, he didn't even know Red Robin was going to be at this party (he hasn't met the guy and doesn't know the lore), but he rolls with it because he's made fast friends with Robin (Bart), Robin (Cassie) and Robin (JON). The kid was full little bro energy and it made Danny laugh, he was so surprised when the real Robin joined them and fell into easy conversation with Robin (Jon).

Danny is playing games with a few others when someone goes to grab a broom to clean up- Turns out Red Robin and his boyfriend Kon had been making out in the closet for most of the party- and the whole room looks at Danny like he's tried to trick them. Tim is at first uneasy that so many people mistook him, but once he's in front of his dupe, puzzle pieces start to move around in his head.

"And who are you again, Robin?" Tim asks carefully, though he suspects he has his answer.

"Uh, Phantom, but you know, a lot of people were calling me Red tonight and I didn't get why until just now." Danny laughs nervously.

"Yeah I bet- Find me monday and we can see about a geneology test."

"That leaves us the whole weekend, to do what exactly? Fuck with people by pulling a parent trap style swap?"

"Nature vs. nuture and all but I don't know how you could be anything but my brother with a question like that." Tim grins and they get to scheming.

How would Jason act if he found out you were pregnant?

Headcanon

warnings: angst! Sad shit with happy ending! anxiety and panic attack! Jason has very low self-esteem, so I warn you that he will depreciate himself a lot. mentions of sex. mentions of death. reader comforting Jason. English is not my first language, sorry for the grammar mistakes (if it have any)

•You had been acting strange for a few weeks now.

•You were eating more than usual.

•And feeling sicker than normal.

•Jason thought it was a virus.

•Then came the mood changes.

"Get out!" You shouted at him and threw a pillow at the man "You don't love me!"

"Doll, I just said I wouldn't make your pancake now because I need to go on patrol..." He said in a calm tone of voice

"It's the same thing!" you whined

•After a while, you were the one who noticed the changes.

•Your period had been late for a month.

•You were feeling hungrier than usual and wanting to eat strange things.

•You wanted to eat that strange mess that Starfire makes.

•Another month has passed.

•Your belly was a different size.

•After noticing this, you purchased 7 tests.

•Only one tested negative.

• Your luck is that Jason wasn't home, otherwise he would have heard your scream.

•What were you waiting for? You have a lot of sex, and babies comes from that.

•You were happy, but worried about Jason's reaction.

•You've been married for three years, you've talked about babies before.

•But you still worry, you know how Jason's mind works.

•You did your best to hide the tests and thought about how to tell Jason.

•He was away on a mission with Bruce and would only return at dawn.

•You decided to tell him in the morning.

•You would wake him up with a beautiful breakfast and tell him.

•As it was still afternoon, you had time to go shopping for a few things.

•You bought a small box with red baby shoes. You also went to the market and bought things to make Jason's favorite cake.

•Everything was perfect, or almost perfect.

•You hid things in the kitchen so you could make them for him in the morning, and went to sleep.

•When Jason arrived it was around three in the morning.

•He came in through the window and smiled when he saw you sleeping peacefully in the bed the two of you shared.

•He needed a shower urgently, so he went to take a shower.

•He took a warm, relaxing bath. When he was drying himself he looked around.

•The bathroom cabinet was not closed properly. It looked like there was something preventing it from closing.

•When Jason opened the closet to find out what was stopping it from closing, all the tests fell to the floor.

•Jason frowned and swore a fuck!

•He bent down and picked up the tests in his hand.

•Six positives and only one negative. Was that yours? It was obvious that it was.

•You don't know how to hide anything from him.

•Fuck, he's going to be a dad!

•Jason began to feel panicked. His breathing became unregulated.

•Still with the towel around his waist, Jason sat on the floor of the large bathroom.

•Suffocating.

•Suffocating.

•Suffocating.

•Jason gasped for air.

•Shit. Will he be a good father?

•He doesn't deserve this.

•He must be dead and not reproducing.

•He's just a stupid thing that should be dead.

•Jason tried to get up. His breathing was still uneven, he felt weak and ended up falling with a loud noise.

•You woke up with noise and looked around.

•"Jace? Are you home?" Your sleepy voice sounded loud, but Jason couldn't hear it, he was deep in his own panic.

•You got up and noticed the bathroom light on. Fuck! The tests!

•You quickly opened the bathroom door and found Jason on the floor struggling to breathe and with the seven tests on the floor next to him.

•"Jason!" You ran over to him and sat on his lap.

You placed both hands on his face.

"Jason, look at me!" His eyes looked into yours "Breathe... come on, breathe with me"

•Breathe, he had to breathe.

•"One..." you breathed in and so did he. "Two..." you breathed out and so did he.

"Three..." again you breathed in and so on until he could breathe.

Tears welled up in his eyes and Jason began to cry. It had been months since he had a crisis like this, the last time was when he was kidnapped by the three jokers.

"Jace... talk to me" You gently wiped his tears away. "You found the tests, didn't you?"

You looked to the side where the tests were on the floor.

"I..." Jason sobbed and tears fell "I'm going to be a dad?..."

"Yes, Jace..." you smiled lovingly "You're going to be a dad..."

"I don’t deserve." More tears fell and he closed his eyes shaking his head "I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it."

"Hey. Shh, Shh, Shh, Shh" You wiped his tears away again and he opened his eyes "Listen to me. You deserve it. Okay? You deserve it so much!"

Jason's blue eyes looked so deep now because of the tears and the heavy feeling in his chest.

"I should be dead, Yn..." He sobbed again "Not having kids..."

"But for some reason you're here with me, and I'm pregnant." You smiled at him, trying to reassure him.

"I love you, Jason. And this..." you took his hands and placed them on your stomach "It's one of the ways that love manifests itself."

Jason looked at where you placed his hands. He stroked yoour belly.

"Love. This is love." He spoke in a tearful voice and you nodded.

"I'm going to be a father..." He gave a weak smile "That explains your mood swings." He looked into her eyes "I love you so much. I feel like I'm not enough for you, will I be enough for our baby?"

"You are already enough. Always have been and always will be." You spoke with certainty and looked into Jason's eyes.

"You're going to be a great father." You smiled

"Do you really think?" He looked into your eyes looking for an answer

"I'm sure about that." You spoke and he kissed you.

•Jason has always been sensitive. But he's great with kids. So it will be great for your son or daughter (I dare say it will be a girl).

•"You weren't supposed to find out like that..." you giggled as your forehead was on his.

"You don't know how to hide things from me, I'm a detective trained with batman." Jason laughed and gave you a peck.

"Don't judge me." You pulled away and rolled your eyes, "I was going to tell you in the morning. I was going to make your favorite cake and make everything you like. I was going to prepare you, you know?"

"Well, I'll still take the cake." He said playfully.

"Silly. I'll do it tomorrow. But we need to go to sleep" You got up and he got up right behind you.

"Oh yeah?" He adjusted the towel around his waist again "We could practice making future babies..."

"Jason, this one isn't even born yet" You laughed and lay down on the bed

"So?" He shrugged "Practice makes perfect."

"Go to sleep, Mr. Todd." You opened your arms to him and he laid on your chest.

"Hmm... don't think I forgot about the cake you're going to make." He grumbled but soon fell asleep.

•He really didn't forget about the cake.

I CRIED SO MUCH WRITING THIS 😭🫡

Jason dad of a girl team!

[simpingforblackfire]

OMG I DIDNT KNOW YOU CONTINUED WRITING PLATONIC YANDERE STARFIRE AND DICK ELWKWIQJAKA

They were one of my favourite platonic yanderes, can you do one where the reader gets sick and starfire starts panicking because she doesn't know what to do and dick has to calm her down??

A/N: Haha yes I'm still writing DC is one of those fandoms I just don't think I'll ever leave like I have never not liked it. My bad this took so long I actually wrote most of this fic a lot closer to the time it was requested but then it was so close to being done that I procrastinated in finishing it anyway I hope this works for you babes x

Had you not been in the agony you were in and had you been fully coherent you would have thought of some snarky comment about how under any other circumstance you couldn't have possibly felt any worse than you already did but knowing your captors the pink-haired idiot and the simp would undoubtedly manage to find a way.

But you weren't. Pain rippled through you and your eyes felt as though they would forever sting with your tears and all you could do was lie there and take it all.

You brought your knees to your chest, tucking into yourself like an infant and quietly cried.

Unfortunately you could be silent in your pain and Starfire would still be able to hear it. 

Dick had been in the living room when Starfire practically shattered the door against the wall with how hard she smashed it open.

"Dick! Dick! Something's wrong she-"

Dick took in Starfire's appearance. Her face frazzled with worry and his hands itched to reach out and smooth all of her pain and all of her panic out of her expression as though he could simply massage the tension away. He couldn't. But even still his hand reached across and soothed her face.

His free hand he cautiously placed on the back of your head that was exposed to him, gently turning your head until your skin peeked out. 

"She has a temperature" Dick mused quietly.

"What does that mean! Humans you- she cannot survive past certain temperatures I know that! she-"

"She" Dick cut through Starfire's sentence before she spiralled any further "will be fine".

Starfire's panic seemed to press on "How can you be so sure?"

"She has a human illness Star. I know you don't understand it, but if you could you'd know she's not in any danger"

Starfire held your lithe form a little tighter "I know that she is in pain Dick! I know that she is suffering!"

"Still she needs rest and for us to take care of her. Her fever should calm down soon. You're being-"

"No" Starfire glared viciously.

"Do not tell me I am being paranoid! I am not being paranoid! That is my baby!"

"Star" Dick grabbed Starfire by the shoulders.

"I know. You're not being paranoid you're being concerned. But I love her too. I know you're scared. I know. But it scares me when I see her like that too and I need you to remember that."

"I don't know what to do Dick" Starfire said quietly. Her throat chafed from screaming. "What do I do Dick"

"This is a human illness, Star." Dick gripped her shoulders, assuringly. If he could not ease her pain he'd hold her through it. "I know you don't know it and that is why. So, I need you to trust me when I tell you it won't kill her. Can you do that?"

Starfire wasn't listening her eyes stuck looking at you. Dick snatched her sight away from you when he grabbed either side of her face and tilted it to look at him "I said can you do that Star?"

She nodded and brought her hands up to hold his arms there.

His stare softened as her look of terror eased "I promise you she'll be okay. I wouldn't lie to you about her. She's mine too."

"I know" Starfire nodded "I know".

Dick let Starfire see you first. He knew she would not cope well with waiting and he did like the furniture in their home in a non-destroyed state.

She had been deeply emotional. She thought she lost you and she just grabbed onto you and broke into tears whispering earnestly against your cheek “I love you I never want you to think I don't because I do I always do no matter if we're laughing or fighting. You are mine. Mine to raise, mine to hold and mine to love.” Her fingers brushed the skin of your cheeks tenderly and she knew you were alive because she could feel your little heart beating against her and she remembered just how delicate and fragile and little you were.

She cherished the moments where you just let yourself be still with her. In a world that always seemed to find a way to spite her it was beautiful that she could just lay down and hold you in her arms. She relished in knowing that in that moment she was your shield from everything bad in the world "as long as I am here to do so you will always be loved and you will always be protected"

It doesn’t matter how big you were physically because Starfire was both bigger and stronger by a mile and you were always going to be her little baby.

You couldn't make out much more than the figures outline, but in your turmoil you couldn't help but reach out to the only comfort you could get. You nestled into the warmth and your body seemed to ease at the comfort. Starfire gladly took up all of the contact you were willing to share.

Eventually Starfire had calmed down enough and while Dick hadn't wanted to overwhelm you he couldn't resist seeing you the moment Starfire was out the room, though by then you were barely conscious at all having been overrun with the attention Starfire had undoubtedly smothered you in. He tucked you into bed, pulling the sheets over you carefully and pressed them down on either side of you before leaning down next to you and placing a tender hand on the side of your cheek before pressing a kiss into your hair. You looked so small and sweet and young and you were all his. Your eyes sleepily closing and smoothly shifting from a crumpled up exhaustion into a gentle tranquility as your body relaxed against the soft soothing of your pillow that you couldn’t help but just melt into like warm butter. Dick couldn’t help but be quietly affectionate to you “I love you” he spoke the words quietly into your hair and pressed another kiss to your cheek, smiling as he lingered by the warm, softness of your skin. 

So few times had he had the privilege of admitting love to someone verbally without it being on their deathbed. He almost hadn’t even noticed until he was already outside your door. It was so sweet and mundane and he was immediately addicted.

A/N: I was too lazy to proofread this so hopefully its okay and everything makes sense lol

Teen Titans Episode Idea

I thought of a way to include the other kids into Teen Titans. Yes, I know most of them were introduced after or during the show's original run, and yes I'm aware that a lot of this is a massive cannon rewrite (as if every DC show wasn't), but just hear me out. Think of it as a potential revival episode idea, rather than something that would have shown in the original run.

So the theory that I had was that after Jason's "death", Bruce tried to get him and Batgirl to put the cape down to protect them.

Robin leaves, forms the Teen Titans, and life moves on. Barb is probably Oracle at this point, but I'd honestly rather skip The Killing Joke, so let's just say she's Batgirl somewhere else.

A few years later, Dick is now sixteen. Something episode appropriate happens that makes him think of Jason, when four twelve-year-olds show up at Titans Tower.

They introduce themselves as Blue Robin (Tim), Pink Robin (Steph), Yellow Robin (Duke), and Black Robin (Cass). None of them are Red Robin because that was Jason.

Yes, they're into Power Rangers. They're twelve.

Robin is equal parts furious and conflicted. On the one half, his hypocrite of an adopted father adopted the neighbor's creeper spy kid, said kid's childhood friend who might be related to Black Mask, a meta kid who he knows next to nothing about, and another kid who vaguely reminds him of Lady Shiva. Then he made them all Robins.

If Dick didn't love his father, he would kill him.

They're hyper, they're underfoot, and they emptied the fridge. At least someone appreciates Starfire's cooking. Blue Robin has way too many questions, Black Robin keeps sneaking up on everyone (Raven loves her though), Yellow Robin keeps complaining about Starfire being "too bright", and Pink Robin somehow started a turf war with the Hive Five.

Either way it's chaos and while the whole team loved the kids, Robin's patience is being worn thin.

I don't quite know how the rest of the episode would go, but the gist of it is that it'd end with the big reveal that Red Robin survived and is now Red X, so it'd probably need him as an antagonist. Obviously Robin would need to snap at the kids at some point, before realizing the error of his ways and learning whatever moral the episode had.

The episode closes with him calling Bruce, while mentioning that it might be time to move on from Robin. He vaguely recalls Starfire mentioning a "Nightwing" from that one time she went to the future.

Bruce then drops the bombshell that he has three even younger siblings he needs to meet (Damian, Carrie, and Jarro) and that would be the iris out.

***

It's still a little half-baked, I was trying to hit the beats the original show did, but I still need to figure out the main conflict. If anyone has more ideas, I'm all ears.

[t6fs]

It waits at the window. You do not know who, or what, it is.

It hears your approach, those shaky and curious footsteps. Two bright eyes stare at it, wide with shock and sharp with curiosity. You are met with bared teeth and a growl so deep you cannot even hear it. This is followed by a pause, and a deep embarrassment.

"Oh."

It shrinks back, slightly.

"I don't... who..."

Its ears swivel, as a stand in for looking around. Whatever this thing is, it is blind.

"You are not who I am here for... I... hm..."

It moves in an almost insectoid way, all angles.

“Who are you..? What are you, I’ve never-“

"I'm... I need..."

You pause as it continues to speak, stepping closer. A cleared throat.

"Nevermind. Let me bite you."

A step closer, hackles raised.

"Please. I'll tend to it after, if you want, but..."

It doesn't finish the thought.

YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT

It will pull you closer, allow you to expose some skin. Its hands will be gentle, will not move to any place you do not allow them. When you are ready, it will open its jaws and sink its teeth into your flesh. It will be careful not to break bone, but it will destroy skin and damage muscle. It will swallow what it takes, and it will get blood on the floor. It will hurt. By the Mercies, it will hurt. It will be grateful, though. It will tend to you, if you wish. It will leave after, unless you offer it more.

There’s a moment of uncertainty. You can feel yourself getting ready to tell it to leave. But then you stop, thinking. It won’t be the best data, considering the starved man(?)’s variable biology, but…

“O-okay. Just… come into the light a bit more, please?”

You roll your sleeve, offering up your upper arm. You tentatively rests a hand on its shoulder. It can feel the tremors in your hand, but you stand strong despite your fear.

Its teeth bite through your pale flesh with ease, and.

And.

And.

And…

And the world goes white, far brighter than this cave called London has ever been.

It is sickening.

It is light.

The taste that meets your lips is not that of meat.

It is not the taste of flesh.

It is hot, too hot, it is blackened metal and sharp chemical burns.

What fills your mouth is not blood, blood does not burn this way.

Blood does not cut through you with surgical precision, it does not dissect you from the tongue out.

The flavour of muscle and iron does not cut into your psyche with utter precision, carving you into minutes and seconds.

Beverley tastes of law and starfire and with every piece of him you swallow what that law is becomes more clear.

It wants to know you.

You are on an autopsy table, cut into ribbons as something clinical and seeking caresses the lining of your stomach and you cannot move.

You cannot move.

You cannot move.

You, Kheghlakhbe` Yïkhem-Lok'a`wï`, are a being atemporal.

You have not been touched by time for time immaterial.

There is no part of what remains that still truly exists, and for an immaterial moment, the time that ticks within his form peels back the curtain of perception.

You are nothing in the room with him.

Nothing, made tangible, made sharp.

The space between two seconds inverted cuts his flesh, and he, in return, cuts you back.

For a moment, you may as well be two children meeting on a beach, and you are asking him in words he cannot understand to throw the ball back. You have six fingers.

One second passes, for the first time in 13 minutes.

In ten thousand years.

Since the birth of the universe.

Since the death of a star.

Darkness comes too slowly. You cannot tell if he screamed, but he weeps softly into your shoulder now. Your breaths, and his sobs, are perfectly in sync with the chimes of the clocks inside his home.

You leave cobalt blood on his shirt. You and he will not remember who gave who the stitches after. Calcified time forms in the places where the time and truth within you both touch.

Something for him to keep.

(BEV BELONGS TO THE SPECTACULAR @zeebreezin )

TEAM DAMIRAE OR TEAM KONRAE?

Superman & Batman

Bruce Wayne: You're really asking us that question?

Clark Kent: I think it’d be nice to have Raven as a daughter in-law. 

Bruce Wayne: You can't have her, Kent. She’s too cool. And she fits our aesthetic better.

Clark Kent: You’re Batman: you literally adopt everybody. You tried to adopt Barry once. And you already have Kory, you can't take Raven, too!

Bruce Wayne: She’s already hitting it off with our villains.

Clark Kent: Raven and Luthor could get along; they both meditate and share a genuine disgust towards people.

Bruce Wayne: I can already hear the future screams ringing out from that scenario. 

Nightwing & Starfire

Dick Grayson: Yeah, Damian’s just a more decent human being around Rachel, so...you know. 

Koriand'r: You know, if I married you, and Raven married Damian, we could both have a double wedding AND we’d be sister in-laws. *gasps* We could take one of those family photos on the beach together, where we’re all in the white shirts and denim and we’re jumping! Wouldn't that be so amazing? 

Raven & Superboy

Rachel Roth: Um…

Conner Kent: You're really being put on the spot here.

Rachel Roth: I am. 

Conner Kent: I can make a suggestion, if you like, milady.

Rachel Roth: Thanks...milord. *shakes head and bites back a smile*

Poison Ivy & Zatanna

Poison Ivy: Ugh, it's such a hard decision! Raven and Robin have so much in common—and if Raven started dating him, she could stay in Gotham more. But Superboy has a much sweeter personality.

Zatanna Zatara: I know! And they’re both so good-looking.

Poison Ivy: Oh yeah, they’re heart throbs.

Zatanna Zatara: If I were a teenage girl, I would probably be obsessed with them.

Poison Ivy: Creepy, but relatable. Who would you choose, then?

Zatanna Zatara: Oh boy. Um...I think I would go with Damian. He’s so dark and mysterious. And Raven told me that he lets her cut bagels with his samurai swords.

Poison Ivy: He's a keeper.

Zatanna Zatara: Yep. Plus Conner’s advanced hearing would make me feel so uncomfortable. What if he hears me crunching on potato chips a room over or something? 

Poison Ivy: I don't think I could date someone who could hear everything. 

Harley Quinn & John Constantine

John Constantine: Superboy. He'll be easier to kill if he breaks my kid’s heart.

Harley Quinn: Aww. Dad goals. 

John Constantine: And he’s nice and all...also it would really piss off Clarky to have a closer relationship with me. 

Harley Quinn: So, basically, Team Superboy for revenge and spite. I LOVE it! 

Cyborg & Shazam

Billy Batson: Team Jacob :D

Victor Stone: Dude. No. 

Beast Boy & Blue Beetle

Garfield Logan: You know, I actually used to have a HUGE crush on Raven.

Jaime Reyes: Seriously? Wow, it's hard to imagine the two of you together. Is this the hidden ship? It would be super weird if, after all of this, she ended up with you.

Garfield Logan: HAHAHAHAHAHA......yeah.

The 7D episode idea: Jollywood's Newest Superheroes

OK, I had this idea for The 7D. Anyway, here's the plot: A magical mishap zaps the dwarfs with unexpected superpowers. Happy generates light (and glows in the dark), Bashful can turn invisible, Sleepy has telekinesis, Dopey has super speed, Grumpy has super strength, and Sneezy can fly. Doc, however, remains frustratingly ordinary. As Queen Delightful calls upon the "Super 7D" to stop a villain, Doc must strategize around his team's wacky powers and his own lack thereof. Will the newly powered dwarfs save the day, or will their newfound abilities cause more chaos than good? Meanwhile, Doc tries to convince everyone (including himself?) that his brilliant mind is still the most valuable power of all.

Running Gag: Every time someone asks about the dwarfs' amazing abilities, Doc puffs out his chest and proudly declares, "They've got incredible powers!" Then he leans in and mutters, "Well, except for me, of course." When they hear that, they all laugh. Maybe Doc can reply angrily, "HOW IS THAT FUNNY?!"

Doc, despite lacking powers, could still prove his worth by using his intelligence to guide and support the dwarfs. The other dwarfs could also learn valuable lessons about teamwork and appreciating their unique abilities (including Doc's mind).

EDIT: Ooh. I know: the villain plot can be the Glooms teaming up with Dr. Jingleheimer and pretty much almost every villain the 7D faced (except Salvatrolle, but mostly Dr. Jingleheimer) to emit a signal to take over Jollywood and brainwash the citizens to obey them. And the 7D could have a showdown with them in some epic battle scene.

EDIT 2: Want me to make an outline of the episode? I can do that. And as for well as how Happy’s powers would work, think Starfire from Teen Titans, minus the flying and laser eyes.

[animation-is-my-jam]

Hiii! I'm wondering what was the reason you ship tobecky? What moment did you feel that "oh yeah this is my otp!

Hello! Thank you for the ask!! (^.^)

Oh boy, okay then, strap yourselves. Call me Captain Tangent because I'm going to take too long getting to the point, but yippee!!

Alright, first is the context before the context. I watched Wordgirl during the original shorts that were between Maya and Miguel since I was a PBS kid (cable was inconsistent). During that time, I watched it up until season 4, when I dropped off in favor of other stuff. From that time, I do remember that I wasn't a Tobey x Wordgirl(Becky) fan. Instead, Tobey's crush on Wordgirl flew over my small head, and I was a Scoops and Becky truther because apparently, I recognized Becky's crush on Scoops more. (I didn't know what shipping was exactly. All I knew was that I liked to pair characters up in my head or be invested in romantic tension. EXs: Robin and Starfire in OG Teen Titans, Tiana and Naveen, ...Pleakley and Jumba...)

When about season 4 started, I didn't try to see what the show was up to until after the Miss Power special, where I curiously searched up Wordgirl on the family computer to see what happened. There then I found SuperstarWordgirl's art and amvs about Tobecky. Remember, I forgot about Tobey's crush, so I was just confused about why people wanted to see them smoochy kiss (I was like: "What?? Doesn't he dislike her? And she has the other boy??")

I was puzzled and embarrassed seeing shipping amvs, so I left it alone, only searching it up a bit on ff.net because I used it for mlp fics, and yup still was confused so I didn't hear of Wordgirl by then.

--Then, my mind broke in 2016. With animated movies like Zootopia and Finding Dory, I started to develop fixations beyond MLP and lurk into fandoms where I discovered Tumblr. (I was in the mlp fandom before, but I wasn't overtly active or multifandom yet, and was still a kid, so I was in very much danger and scarred for life to the point of my development but that's for another day--). Later that year, with the release of Sing, I really kicked into gears of wanting to make stuff/make friends with similar interests. Yada Yada, eventually over a year with being on Tumblr, I started to see posts about childhood nostalgia, and the PBS ones caught my eyes. Wordgirl was a big one, and superhero stories were getting interesting for me again, so I nodded and respected it. BUT THEN I SAW A POST SAYING THAT there was a canonical gay couple in Wordgirl, and I ran straight to the tag--look I was invested highly into gay shit so once I heard about it...in a PBS show? In my childhood show? I was like, OKAY, LET'S HEAR IT OUT.

And yes indeed, to whom that post was referring to...was TJ and Johnson... (What I didn't know, that was just when Liz confirmed stuff on tumblr for the last season like two years ago), BUT REGARDLESS, I GOT INVESTED BECAUSE GAY PPL REAL!! So yes, guys. You technically have Tjohnson to thank for getting me into the fandom and, yes, eventually to ship Tobecky.

Getting into the Wordgirl tag, I was very excited and comforted by all the art and tight-knit unity the fandom had. Headcanons, fan arts, and crossovers with stuff like other PBS shows or Captain Underpants, it really put me in a place of whimsy at the time. (remembered I was in places like the brony fandom, so by comparison, i was safe) and I was in the starting phases of high school too, so yep, seeing nostalgic wonderful art did my brain good. My fixation of animated movies waned, and I dipped deeply into Wordgirl, other cartoons, and video games. Because I was lurking in the Wordgirl tag, it wouldn't take long to see Tobecky again, along with other ships. Then it finally dawned on me after seeing clips posted that Tobey definitely had a crush on Wordgirl. And well...I'm a sucker for anything romance and especially since I missed that detail before so I went on YouTube for more clips. This was before the resurgences of ppl posting Wordgirl stuff, so I then went to deviantart for answers and got obsessed with this one artist on their Tobecky art. Like I didn't ship it yet, but I liked it. Eventually, after a few weeks on the Wordgirl tag, I kicked the bucket and watched the full show (I actually watched it through a tumblr masterpost link AHH THE MEMORIES) but regardless, after watching everything, yup....it became a hyper fixation. But what about Tobecky? So, I mentioned before that it wasn't until re-watching the four seasons again and seeing for the first time the other seasons that started to ship tobecky. Specifically, Have You Seen The Remote. I was already a bit intrigued since the first episode (because I like for one-sided infatuation relationships), but the whole thing with Tobey trying to say how much he and Wordgirl could get along and how they're similar in some ways...he was trying to convince her on their potential chemistry; but all he did was convince me lmao.

I liked their dynamic that wasn't just romantic, too, and i stewed on it for a bit and reached the conclusion like I did with Tjohnson. That yes....shipping time. I made it to the last Tobey episode, and it just confirmed deeply that out of any other woodview school character that I liked her best with Tobey (the note dude, the note was my roman empire, similar to the scene of TJ getting bashful over Johnson complementing him in what would Wordgirl do). I was critical of the ship itself, especially after catching up with it's fandom lore and it did kinda made feel a tad guilty, but at this point I've made peace that I can like this ship but also talk shit because of my love for it (you can be analytic guys it ain't gonna kill you, but also be respectful and don't bully others).

Becky is my favorite character, and Tobey is my favorite character to analyze, so match made in haven, I suppose. Plus, i liked my spin on them in a timeskip setting, and AHH-- (*Future AU happens*). The fics only made it worse by how Tobecky began to infest my brain. Shout out to Something Hidden. Yeah, also, as I mentioned, after finishing up Wordgirl, that's when I really started to break out of my shell in the fandom and express my ideas and care for Tjohnson and Tobecky. I have never been sane since...

amiraaa! what does my pretty girl and her faves have planned for Halloween? 🧡

Hi grayyyy 🫶🏻🖤 I got a little carried away so im putting it all under the cut

Me and Luffy will be spending Halloween re-vsiting Thriller Bark with the rest of the crew!! We’re gonna pester Sanji to make us candies and treats and then we’re gonna run off and try to scare everyone else on the island for giggles

Me and Shoyo are going out to a party that Atsumu’s throwing and we’re going as Marvis and Jonathan from Hotel Transylvania!! 🖤🧡

Me and Suna are gonna take our twins trick or treating and we’ll be dressed as the teen titans. I’m going as Starfire, Suna is Robin and our twins will be going as Beast Boy and Raven.

Me and Cyno are staying home and watching some non-spooky Halloween movies, like Halloweentown but everytime someone rings the door for a trick or treat, Cyno tells them a pun and although it bothers the trick or treater, you’ll still hear me cackling over it from the living room. (I love his puns sm)

Me and Childe are hitting up a party we aren’t invited to just bc we can and we’re going as Lady Bug and Cat Noir. And yes I make Childe dye his hair blonde for the costume but this is the world of genshin so im gonna make up some magical device that temporarily changes hair for 24 hrs or something bc I would miss his ginger hair. Anyways I think his costume would be the hottest out of all my faves so it’s def a scary night with how loud I’ll be screaming when he gets me in bed 🤭

Me and Mikey are riding his bike all across Tokyo tossing candy to ppl whenever we see any fun costumes. We ourselves are dressed as corpse bride and victor.

Me and Reo are going to Isagi’s party and we’re going as minions but I’ll be going as an ordinary one. Reo will be going as a purple minion. Ya know bc of his hair lol

Me and Scara are going to be costume judging and by that I mean he’s gonna let me hop on his back and he’s gonna fly above the streets of sumeru and we’re gonna critique ppls costumes of the night. It’s mostly him insulting everyone and me trying to defend a few of them but agreeing with the rest of his opinions. We ourselves will be in costume. I’ll be dressed as paimon and him as traveler (aether) bc I wanted to surprise the traveler and Paimon with these costumes. And scara loves me too much to say no to me. (He def said no but that’s just his tsundere requirement)

Me and Shuji are watching a scream movie and then going to bed early bc he has an early morning appointment the next day, or so I thought. He actually slips out of bed puts on the ghosts face costume he’s been hiding and that’s when the real fun begins 🖤

Paint it Black (20) Confronting

FF.net | Ao3

“Everything you’ve been through, it’ll all be worth it. Pinkie swear! All you gotta do is meet me at the bank with the clock tower on Halloween, at midnight. Then, you’ll get to see White, and you can be whole again.” 

—-

Persuading Black to hang out in the holding cell was the easy part. 

The rest of the evening was proving to be a challenge. The Titans and Batman had split up to patrol the city. After dinner time until about 10, children ran through the streets, as businesses had a massive trick or treat event going on. With so many vulnerable people out and about, there were plenty of targets for the scum of the city to prey on. 

Plenty of work to keep busy until midnight. 

This was easy work for Batman, and kept him alert for what was to come. As he subdued his third pickpocket in an hour, he considered the facts again. 

According to Raven, the villain they never captured from the night before was named Kyd Wykkyd. On his own, he posed little to no threat, but he did have the talent for sneaking around and phasing through walls and floors. 

But he also couldn’t speak, so there wasn’t much to guess of his intentions with the white doll. 

He just had to assume it wasn’t good. 

After the children dispersed to get candy-wasted, that left the teenagers ready to prank, and the college kids ready to get drunk. All of these were also in costume. 

Finally, around 11:30, Batman made his way to the location, the Jump City Federal Building and Bank, which had a large, very tall clock tower that rivaled the height of even some skyscrapers. 

“Master Bruce!” Alfred called across the shared frequency. 

Immediately, Batman was on edge. “What happened?” 

“Master Richard…he has escaped. He was so well behaved and docile. I turned my back to go make some tea, and then…I woke up on the floor. I don’t know how long I’ve been out. I’m…I am so sorry.” 

“Are you hurt at all?” 

“A small scratch. Doesn’t even need a bandage.” 

“Good. I had a feeling he would try to escape. I’m sorry you got caught in the crossfire. Titans, did you hear all that?” 

“Roger!” Cyborg called over the coms. “We’ll spread out and look for him.”

Starfire asked, “where do you think he aims to go?” 

“No doubt the same meeting place that Gizmo was given. The federal building clock tower.” 

“Why would he want to see them again? You’d think he’d want to stay as far away from those psychos as possible!” Said Beast Boy. 

“It’s not about seeing them, it’s about what they have. That white doll is significant here. For what purpose, I don’t know. Robin didn’t seem to know either. See if you all can find him. I’m en route to the clock tower. I’ll call if I need back up.” 

“Roger!” 

Batman couldn’t help but release an irritated sigh after he hung up. Not directed at anyone, but the situation. 

Well, we was irritated with the Joker and Dent, but that was a given. He’d been pissed at them ever since he figured out what happened to Robin. 

He arrived at the clock tower, and scanned the outside for access points. 

There was a door in one of the clock faces, and he dropped down to it, and pulled on the handle. 

It wasn’t locked, thankfully, and he slipped inside. 

He could hear voices. 

“Oh I like you. You’re like…if Batsy had powers, and was evil. You’ve even got his silent schtick down pat!” 

The conversation was down a few levels, as the inside of the tower was made up of winding staircases. Quietly, he attached a grapple line to the railing and leapt over the edge, slowly descending down to get a better look. 

“You’ve done very well, I must say. Not the one I thought was going to get it, though. I thought the talking baby was going to be our winner.” 

Batman stayed in the shadows, as the room was dark anyway, but could see two figures. One was the villainous teen from yesterday, and the other was very clearly the Joker. 

There was no sign of Dent. 

“So…are you going to hand it over, or what?” 

Kyd Wykkyd held out the doll, and Batman was tempted to snag it before the Joker grabbed it, but he was momentarily distracted by another door on the other side of the room opening and closing. 

Joker snatched the doll. “Well well well! Look who it is! Lucky number 8, was it? Or what was that name you were going by now?” 

“It’s Black.” 

“Right. Not very creative, are you?” 

“Black is infinite, like darkness. It’s impenetrable, unknowable—“ 

“Yeah, yeah, save it for the Psych Ward. I know the whole reason you came here was for this.” And he held up the doll. 

“White!” 

“What’s the magic word?” 

“Please!” 

“‘Please’ what?” 

“Please Master!” 

“That’s a good little weirdo!” And he tossed the doll to him. 

Batman watched as Black ripped the doll’s head off and started to eat what was inside the doll. 

While Joker was distracted with that, he swung down and nailed him in the chest with both feet, knocking him on his ass and the wind from his lungs. 

In the name of self-preservation, Kyd Wykkyd skedaddled. 

Batman grabbed Joker by the collar and hauled him to his feet. “Where’s Dent?!” 

“How should I know?” 

Batman shook him. “Don’t play dumb. You were working with him!” 

“Right right! Yep! That was so long ago I forgot.” 

“Answer, Joker!” 

“Okay okay! Honestly, I don’t know. He didn’t like the product so he dipped. Said I could keep the little monster as payment. I guess he would be heading back to Gotham, but if he wanted to get away from you, now would certainly be the time. He did seem a little tense. Maybe he went South for a little vacay, hmm?” 

Batman dropped him and pinned him to the ground with his foot while he got his cuffs. 

“No…” Black moaned. “No no no…” 

Batman turned to Black but kept Joker in his periphery. “What’s wrong?” 

Black held the mostly empty doll, and Batman could now see the contents consisted of dead bugs. “I…I don’t feel any different.” 

Joker started giggling. 

“Why are you laughing?!” 

“I can’t believe you fell for that! ‘All your goodness will be put in this little doll, and it’ll be waiting for you when your training is over.’ Really? I can’t save your goodness for later! I reprogrammed your brain! It’s gone forever! You’re bad, 8. Down to the bone! There’s nothing redeemable about you!” 

Black dropped the doll and stood ramrod straight, the black veins pulsing under his skin. 

“No…no…” 

Batman took the opportunity to finish cuffing the Joker. 

As the last cuff locked into place, Batman heard another distinctive click, and his heart sank. 

He turned around slowly with his hands up. 

Black still had his gun, and it was pointing at him. 

“Move,” he bit. 

“No,” said Batman. “We don’t kill.” 

“Maybe you don’t, but I do!” 

“It’s not going to make you feel better,” Batman urged. “Never has anyone felt better after killing someone.” 

“That’s not true! I’ll feel better knowing he won’t do this to anyone else!” 

“For a little while, maybe. But it won’t make everything he did to you go away. You’ll never find closure. You’ll start to wonder if he got off easy. Then you’ll have regrets. Trust me, it’s not worth it.” 

Black didn’t respond, but didn’t lower his weapon. 

“We’ll turn him into the police. He’ll be locked away to serve his time in isolation. He won’t hurt anyone else.” 

Black shook his head. “That’s a lie. He’ll get out, and he’ll do it again.” 

“He won’t.” Batman hissed. 

Black shook his head, eyes welling up with tears. When he spoke, his voice was so clear, so sane, Bruce thought it might actually be Richard. “I can’t live with that on my conscience.” And he raised the gun to his own temple. 

Batman lunged for him, but before anything could happen, a bright green light struck Black’s back, stunning him. He fell forward, and revealed Starfire floating just behind him. 

Batman hadn’t even noticed her appearance. 

“Apologies. I tracked your location in the event you needed backup.” 

Batman sighed in relief. “No apologies necessary.” 

“Awwww that was anticlimactic! You’re no fun at all,” Joker whined from the floor. 

Batman kicked him hard, knocking him on his side. 

“I’ll take Joker to jail. You take Black back to the tower. Get him strapped in at the med bay and tell Cyborg to prep for an X-ray.” 

“You fear he has a broken bone?” 

“No. Worse.” 

—-

Setting up a transfer to Arkham had Batman busy for several hours. In the meantime, Starfire did just as he instructed, and took Black to the med bay. 

He was sedated, but not fully unconscious. 

Alfred worked on synthesizing another batch of the antidote, though dour, skeptical if it would fail again. 

Starfire dutifully relayed what had happened, from her perspective, to the other Titans as Cyborg performed the X-ray. 

“Truthfully,” she confessed. “I would have killed the Joker myself if Batman had not been there. I understood his position, and in Robin’s case, I believe he was correct. It would have further diminished his mental state. I, however, have killed many enemies, and only stopped from doing so when I came to Earth. Taking a life does take a toll on the mind, but I am numb to it after all these years.” 

“Metal,” said Beast Boy. 

“Yes, I do believe this strength is like iron, or steel.” 

“That’s not—eh, same thing, I guess.” 

“I’m not seeing anything abnormal with the X-ray, then again, I’m not a radiologist, and I don’t know what I’m supposed to be looking for.” 

Black, mostly groggy from the sedative, moaned feebly. “Tinky Star?” 

Starfire went to his side and pet his hair back. “Yes, my friend. I am here.” 

“Am I in trouble?”

“Only slightly.” 

“You shouldn’t have run away,” said Raven. “But you did aid in the capture of the Joker. And you solved the mystery of the white doll.” 

“What did you need that for, anyway?” Beast Boy asked. 

Black started to cry, rocking back and forth on the bed. “That was White. When they created me, they took everything good about me, everything that made Robin a hero, out and put it in that doll. At least…that’s what they said. All I had to do was get it back, and I’d be normal again. I’d be sane. And you’d all like me.” He sobbed. “But it was all a lie. And I should have known, ‘cause all they ever did was lie. I’m just as crazy as ever…and now I have a weird taste in my mouth.”  

“Why didn’t you just say so earlier?” Beast Boy again asked. “Even if you didn’t know we had the doll, we could have helped you look for it.” 

“I…I forgot.” He cringed. “I didn’t remember until you mentioned Halloween. Then I remembered that they promised to give it back to me.” 

“Sounds like something pretty important to just forget,” Raven remarked. 

Black shut his eyes tight. “Nothing makes sense to me.” 

“Pardon me,” Alfred popped his head into the room. “I just received a message from Master Bruce. He would like you to forward those X-rays to Dr. Paxton in Gotham. He’s already arranged the story.”

“Oh, okay. Better idea than having us trying to see what we can’t,” Cyborg agreed as he went to the computer. 

“Do I got broken insides?” Asked Black. 

“Batman seems to think so.” Raven stood beside him and held her hands out just over his torso. Her hands glowed a soothing white. “I’m going to see if I can see anything out of the ordinary. Starfire, you sure Batman didn’t say what he was suspicious of?” 

She shook her head. “No, nothing. Perhaps something was said before I arrived.” 

Raven hovered her hands over his body, up his chest, over his face, down his arms and legs and back again. “Everything looks fine to me. Nothing broken.” 

“Hey,” Beast Boy wondered aloud, “you remember…when Robin was forced to be Slade’s apprentice?” 

“Yeah? And?” Raven snipped, not fond of the topic.

“Well, we all had those little nano dudes in us. Could you detect them with your magic?” 

She gave him a surprised look. “No, I couldn’t. So you think there’s something small in him like the nanobots?” 

Beast Boy shrugged. “Just thinkin’.” 

“If that’s the case,” said Cyborg, returning from the other room. “Then we’re going to need more than X-rays.” 

“You mean all those tubes and wires?” Beast Boy shuttered. 

“Yep!” 

Black moaned from the bed. “I neither like tubes nor wires.” 

—

It took another several hours to get all the monitors attached to Black and run all the tests. 

“I’m tired…” Black moaned, from under a pile of cords and tubes. “I wanna go night-night.” 

“Yeah, us too, buddy,” Said Cyborg, yawning. “I’ve got 5% left on my battery before one of  you will have to push me back into my room to charge.” 

“Just show me what I need to look at and you can go rest,” said Raven. “If the tests are all set to run, we should be okay.” 

“If you’re sure. Don’t be afraid to wake me if there’s any issues.” And he left. 

Almost as soon as he did, Batman returned, dropping his cowl onto a nearby chair. “What a night…find anything?”

“Not in the initial X-rays.” Raven pulled up the imaging. “We’re running more in-depth tests now, though we don’t really know what we’re looking for.” 

Bruce zoomed in on the X-rays, until the bone was so big, the screen was white. Then he scrolled through it meticulously. 

“You still haven’t told us what we’re looking for,” added Beast Boy. “Do you think there’s a break?”

“No,” said Batman, loading the next image, of the spinal cord. “But Joker said something that’s been nagging me. Perhaps it’s just a figure of speech, but I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t investigate.”

“...and that was…?”

“After Black ate the contents of the white doll,” he omitted what it was, “he said he didn’t feel any different. Joker laughed and said he was bad to the bone. But the way he said it made me wonder…”

Beast Boy hid his eye roll as he turned away. He didn’t want to doubt Batman, but that seemed like grasping at straws. 

“It is a figure of speech?” Asked Starfire. “As in, someone is evil to the core of their being?” 

Beast Boy hummed. “I guess. The song from the 80’s is more about being bad in a cool way. Like wearing leather and riding motorcycles.” 

“Like…Johnny Rocket?” 

“Yeah, like that.” 

“Except,” Bruce explained. “Joker didn’t say ‘bad to the bone’ he said ‘you’re bad’ period ‘right down to the bone.’ Emphasis on bone.” 

“...I don’t know if—”

“There!” Bruce pointed to the X-ray of the skull. So small, smaller than a grain of rice, a little white chip sat nestled in his head. 

“What is that?” Raven wondered aloud. 

“GPS tracker, at least.” He screenshotted the suspicious object and sent it to the doctor. “Dr. Paxton is my contact at Wayne Memorial Hospital, but he’ll put us in contact with a Doctor nearby who can surgically remove it.  

“Then can I get out of all of this?” Black asked meekly. 

—

Several more hours. It was mid morning now, and the surgery was complete and Black sat with several stitches in his head. He was still sedated as they hadn’t administered the antidote yet. 

The doctor returned with the little device in a petri dish. “That’s it.” 

“But…what is it?” Batman asked. 

“It’s very sophisticated for something so small. It’s a device that sends out chemical and electrical signals, much like the rest of the communication in the brain, for the sole purpose of overwriting commands from the hypothalamus. So instead of normal functions, it would tell the body to hold onto harmful chemicals and store them in various organs for release at a later time.” 

“So that’s how he kept getting poisoned.” 

“Exactly.” 

“Thank you doctor, you’ve been a huge lifesaver.” 

“Anytime!” And he left. 

Black, still groggy, asked, “am I going to be okay now?” 

“Just a little more medicine, and you’ll be all better.” 

—-

It had only been a few days since Starfire had last spent time out on the roof with Robin. But this time, she was confident things were better. Not normal. Things would never be the way they were before after all he had been through, but better, nonetheless. 

Robin sat at her side, shamelessly resting his head on her shoulder. “Thanks for sticking by me, through all that.” 

“You are most welcome, my sweet Robin. You know, I will always come to help you. No matter the peril.” 

“And you’ve saved me so many times now. I don’t know if I can ever make it up to you.” 

She leaned over and kissed him on the lips. “Just be with me. I am sure you will pay me back in time.” 

He smiled up at her. 

“Your back, where I stunned you, how does that feel?”

“Fine. Less than a sunburn. Don’t worry about it.” 

“I am sorry you could not get your revenge on Joker.” 

He shook his head. “No, it’s alright. While I am angry, I know that Bruce was right, ultimately. Killing him wouldn’t have been good for me in the long run. Besides, in our line of work, Death is never the guaranteed end. We saw that with Slade. I will always worry that Joker will get out and do this again. But there’s always the chance that he never gets out again.”

“You promise to let me know if you ever have to go undercover again, right? I will protect you. I will come for you if things go wrong.” 

He raised their joined hands and kissed her knuckles. “I promise, Star. No more secrets between you and me.” 

“It may be presumptuous, but would you allow me to sleep beside you tonight? I have missed you so.” 

“I don’t know if there’s anything I want more in this world than that.” 

She grinned. 

“Only if you’re okay with me getting grabby. I might cuddle with you, now that I can.” 

“Oh, it is I who will be doing the cuddling!” 

When it grew late, Robin escorted Starfire inside, where she promised to meet in his room when she was ready for bed. 

He got ready himself, taking a short shower and brushing his teeth. 

He wiped the steam from the mirror, clearing his reflection among the streaks. His eyes bounced with untapped energy, though he felt calm and collected. The makeup covering his scar was washed away, revealing the dark pinks of trauma. 

“Hey,” he said to his reflection. 

“Howdy ho!” His reflection responded. 

“We’re cool, right? You can handle this arrangement, right?” 

“It’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be.” 

Robin exhaled, dropping his shoulders. “I wanted to apologize.”

“Whatever for?”

“I said some pretty horrible things about you…but in the end, you allowed me to survive. You kept me alive, and got me out. It wasn’t ideal, but…thanks, Black.” 

“Hmm. Never thought you’d say that. But you’re welcome. And uh…I’m not going anywhere. If you need me, I’ll take over.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

Series Masterlist:

——————————————-

You walk into the cave and sense the tense atmosphere. Damian is glaring daggers at Dick who is scolding him for what you hear is about his lack of respect, and Kory is looking at both of them, taken back. Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Barbara, Cass, and Duke look uncomfortable as fuck. Bruce tiredly looks at the scene and then buries his face in his hands in exasperation. Alfred is nowhere to be seen. You walk closed and finally clear your throat, making them stop and look at you. "Bad time to arrive?" you say and Bruce has never been more thankful for the fact that you have appeared. "Not at all, we were just discussing the strategies and it got out of hand. Good of you to join us, Calvary. I have hope that you won't be making this a habit" says Bruce making you smile sheepishly as you walk toward them. You try to ignore the looks they are giving you. "Well then, fill me in on what has happened, the sooner I'm up to date, the quicker a solution can be found," you say as you go and stand next to Barbara. As Bruce fills you in, you can feel a few pairs of eyes set on you. To be honest, they were ALL stealing glances at you. Your new armor came as a surprise to them. It suited you. It hugged your body nicely and showcased your best features. Definitely a good look on you. "That would be about it, any suggestions?" finished Bruce and you hum. Finally, you speak up, "We need to go undercover. Selina is out of the question because she was already our main source of information and if they see her more than one night, knowing Penguin, he will start to grow suspicious. Harley is also out, last I know, they weren't in the best of spots and that takes Ivy out as well. We could always call Kate. She hasn't been working much with direct contact with the rouges so it could be an opening. A simple in and out. But it can't stop there, we need eyes everywhere. We should expand patrol routes so that we can observe all of Penguin's trade activity. Call in Harper and Luke. Ivy, Selina, and Harley can help as well. We need all hands on deck. Patrol the ports and the Gotham highway exits for any unusual activity. We can rotate so it won't look suspicious." Bruce stays quiet. He wasn't that fond of having missions extend away from the people present but they did need all hands if they wanted to stop it before it started.

Bruce nodded pleased by her suggestion. "I'll call Harper, Luke, Selina, and Kate. You make sure Ivy and Harley are on board. Remember to keep a low profile, too many vigilantes out can cause alarm and potentially give away that we are out for them. We will go on the usual patrol routes tonight and begin tomorrow with the new ones. Dismiss" and just like that he turned and headed straight for the Batcomputer. This gave freeway for the others to finally greet you properly. "I'll be damned, Yn swoops in and saves the day!" exclaims Steph with a laugh, pulling you into a hug. You laugh and greet her back. "First of all, EXPLAIN THE SUIT!" said Barbara excitedly and the girls nod. "Definitely cause girl you looking fired up!" exclaimed Duke and you smile. "Grandmother gave it to me, she insisted I should start to live up to my Amazonian status and mom insisted as well," you say and they all nod. You turn to Jason, who hugs you and lifts you up. "Well damn, Amazonian armor fits you well sis!" and you squeeze him back. Once he lets go, Tim walks to you, "Please do not make it a habit to leave so often, especially in the middle of a case." and you laugh as you ruffle his hair affectionately. "I'll try not to" you say holding your pinky, to which Tim wrapped his around yours and nodded. Hey! Pinky promises were sacred in this family. Finally, Damian steps forward, arms crossed. "Is that armor even durable for battle?" (translation: are you sure it will keep you safe?) he asks and you mimic his crossed arms and answer, "Of course Damian, it was made by the gods themselves and all of my adjustments are still there, so trust I will be alright." He nods and goes to stand next to you, leaving Dick as the only person left to greet you. You both stay looking at each other. Your gaze is challenging and his was a little starstruck.

My word, you looked heavenly. He would never say it out loud but he had always loved how your old suit looked on you. He always saw it as a shame when you had decided to drop your cowl and reserve it for emergencies only. He remembered one of the times he had come back from Bludhaven to visit and saw you. He had been 19 at the time and you 17. He had done a double take when he saw you. You truly had grown and blossomed through the years, becoming one beautiful young lady. He had always found you attractive, but that was always set aside and ignored because of your constant fighting. But then, as he saw you giggling with Babs as you both teased Bruce about the date he had with Selina, he knew that he couldn't ignore it anymore. You were mesmerizing. A sight that he never got tired of admiring. Sure you had your differences but fucking hell, you are one beautiful woman and your suit always highlighted that. Coming back to the present, nothing could prepare him for the moment you walked out of the Zeta tube. He quite literally felt his breath being knocked out of his lungs. From your ponytail adorned by the royal headpiece to the way, the suit hugged your body, to the knee-high boots. You were a sight. And when you took your mask off, those gorgeous (y/c) eyes that found him and challenged him to say something made his heart stop for a second. You were going to be his ruin and it scared him how more than willing he was of letting that happen. He was so ready to get on his knees, worship, and pledge allegiance to he-

"ehem"

his train of thought was interrupted by Kory, who was staring holes into Yn. "You must be Calvary, I am Princess Koriand'r of Tamara, also known as Starfire. A pleasure to meet you" she said, extending her hand towards Yn. Everyone noticed the slight snark in her tone as she dropped her titles. Thankfully, Diana had assumed something like this would happen and prepared Yn on how to respond when someone tried to intimidate her with status. Yn lifted her head and tightly grasped Kory's hand. "Princess Yn Prince of Themiscira, darling of the gods. It is a pleasure indeed" she said holding eye contact with Kory. Yn let go of her hand and said, "Now if you excuse me, I have some calls to make, hope your stay has been pleasant so far." and turned to walk away to her lab, turning the lights on, and sitting on her desk. Watching the entire thing, Damian smirked. Oh, how he adored Yn. Dick gulped and turn his gaze towards Star, who looked at him suspiciously as if trying to read him. He then turned to Damian, who crossed his arms once again, and walked away towards Yn's lab, "Not hearing it, Grayson". The rest had already left after Yn left aside from Barbara. Kory huffed and decided to walk upstairs. Dick closed his eyes, knowing he was in for another argument, and groaned. Barbara looked at him with pity, "Oh Dick, what have you gotten yourself into" she said as she placed a hand on his shoulder and walked past him. What indeed had he gotten himself into.

WE ARE BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER NEXT AVENGERS HEADCANON AND I REALLY NEED TO MAKE A SHORTER NAME FOR THIS !

With Today’s Topic I’d like to speak about something that’s been wrapping my brain a lot and that’s ✨Villains ✨

Now obviously after Ultron’s reign Heroes and Villains alike are pretty hard to come around as well obviously Ultron killed them all sad lol

BUT ! IN THE LIVES IN HEROS “As long as there is good there shall be evil” and soon or later just like their Parents James, Azari, Francis, Torunn and Pym will eventually have to face their own battles and demons

Now personally I always liked the Headcanon that when the kids become older and more seasoned mature heroes they start to build their own little rogues gallery and like their parents and more like the Teen Titans each Next Avengers Member has their own Arch nemesis like how Robin has Slade, Cyborg has Brother Blood, Starfire has Blackfire etc etc

I read a really good FanFic about how Torunn learned that in Asgard since she wasn’t there and Thor, Sif and the Royale family had died Amora aka Enchantress had taken the thrown and even bread an offspring with Thor more so forcefully creating as we know MAGNI AS HE IS THE NEW KING OF ASGARD

AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD LOVE ESSENTIALLY GIVING TORUNN HER OWN BLACKFIRE/STARFIRE STORY IS PERFECT A BATTLE FOR THE THROWN IS AMAZING FOR HER

Azari is another one I’d love to dive deep into as with him being an Omega level Mutant + his Heritage of royal blood as Prince of Wakanda there are so many potentially great villains that can be given for him

Now obviously I’d be easy to just make his arch enemy the son of Killmonger giving into the whole challenge the bloodline aspect BUT I always thought The Black Panther franchise should dive deeper into Voodoo Magic

Giving Azari more so an Antagonist like Dr Faciler from Princess in the Frog or Husk from Hazbin Hotel would be KILLER ! more so it’s a mental and psychological battle. Rather than a physical one. Imagine the Voodoo villain teen like him gives Azari and the team the chance to see their parents again with just one deal that not knowing what it is AHHHHHH I NEED TO HURRY UP AND LEARN HOW TO DRAW AND ANIMATE

again I found this from a Fanfic but I love the idea so much. James like Torunn’s rival ends in him finding out he has a brother WHO’S THE SOM OF STEVE AND SHARON !!!!! DUN DUN DUN !!! DRAMAAAAAAA I LOVE IT ! AND HIS NAME IS IAN AGHHHHHHHH !!!

Now Pym and Francis are sadly left out of this because we’ll truly I have no idea what to give them but I’d love to hear from you all give me some of your own ideas and headcanons on what Pym and Francis’s arch enemies can be

UNTIL NEXT TIME BOYS AND SQUIRRELS THIS HAS BEEN NEXT AVENGERS HEADCANON’S (don’t like it still need a name)

[crimswnred]

these hc are so cute ! maybe what halloween costume the Li would wear individually and in a couples costume 💓💓💓

HI YES YES YES I LOVE THIS QUESTION

I'm so excited!! ok, ok, without any further ado:

what the season 2 lis would wear for halloween (individually and in a couple)

bobby.

individually: look me in the eye right now and tell me he wouldn't dress up as spider-man. especially now with the spider-verse movies.

couple: he's a silly guy so I'm thinking he could wear literally anything after a little convincing, but ultimately, I'm saying:

beast boy & raven or robin & starfire (teen titans)

scott pilgrim and ramona flowers (scott pilgrim vs the world)

shark boy and lava girl

this has gotten way too long!! pls check out more under the cut 👇

gary.

individually: most likely a star war reference. or something funny. definitely something tight

couple: again, another silly guy who would wear anything you ask him, but here are my picks:

han solo and princess leia (and he absolutely loves it)

bowser and peach, not mario tho because that's too basic

bob and helen parr (the incredibles)

ibrahim.

individually: violet man. ok, let's say violet man isn't a real thing (like, well, it isn't). he's DEFINITELY dressing as another superhero. my guess? either superman or batman.

couple: he's gonna rock the best geek couple costumes ever and he'll show off. together, you guys will either serve cunt or die trying. here are some ideas:

batman and catwoman (the batman)

wanda maximoff and vision (wandavison)

jean gray and scott summers (the x-men)

noah.

individually: he would probably wear something that's more halloween than costume party, if you get what i mean? he prolly loves the holiday 'cause of his siblings and REALLY commits to the bit. fred krueger, jason, chuck, ghost face...

couple: like I said, he commits to the bit and goes all the way but he's sticking to the horror pattern because that's how it should go. some ideas include:

emily and victor (corpse bride)

other mother and other father (coraline)

beetlejuice and lydia (yes, the red wedding dress)

lucas.

individually: something sexy but that he doesn't need to put much effort in, like a vampire or something. i can't see him going all out for halloween, i'm sorry 😭

couple: now, when in a couple, it's a tad different... he's making sure you look good together and when i say good, i mean GOOD. you guys would probably be the hottest couple at any halloween party, here are some ideas:

gomez and morticia addams (let's put that stache to use, shall we?)

mr and mrs smith

tony montana and elvira hancock (scarface)

henrik.

individually: TARZAN. and he loves wearing nothing but a thong the whole night.

couple: I bet on something fun and easy, but also cute! he just wanna have fun with you and party for a bit, so I don't think he would propose something super complex. some ideas:

johnny and mavis (hotel transylvania)

daphne and fred (scooby-doo)

lola and bugs bunny (space jam)

kassam.

individually: I'm thinking classic and boring. doesn't care much when he's on his own. classic halloween stuff.

couple: HEAR ME OUT — iconic moments from pop culture. what do I mean by that? well, I mean:

britney spears and justin timberlake in matching jeans outfits

xtina and eminem (at the ICONIC vmas)

sony and cher (like halsey did!)

carl.

individually: spock! a little on the nose for him but COME ON. he's always dressing up as a star trek character, switching up every year. I can see him wearing something marvel related too.

couple: yeah, some star trek reference for sure but since that's not my breed of nerd (sorry not sorry), I'm saying:

jessie and james (pokemon)

loki and sylvie (loki series)

link and zelda (the legend of zelda)

ahh!! this was so much fun to do!! thanks for asking, anon 💝 I had a blast with your question!!

(!) I don't know enough about the missing LIs to add them to this list. if you'd like to ask for a specific islander that didn't make the list, don't be afraid to drop your request in my inbox.

more headcanons.

Starfire - Chapter 4 (Bakugou x Reader x Deku)

A/N - AHH, here's where we ACTUALLY get somewhere. Comment if you enjoyed it! Also there are more chapters under my AO3, which has my same username if you're interested:) <3

“Fucking Deku tried to save me.”

You double back, eyes wider than saucers as Katsuki walks in front of you, “What?! Why didn’t you tell me before! Is he okay?” Katuki scowls at your reaction. 

“Tch. The nerd is fine. Already told him that I didn’t need his help — I don’t owe him anything.” Despite his attempt to reassure you, a heavy feeling sinks deep into your chest. Fingers tightening around the straps of your backpack, you purse your lips before addressing the angry blonde beside you, “Katsuki...why do you treat Izu the way you do?”

A sour taste fills his mouth when the endearment leaves your lips — Izu, he thinks  bitterly.

When Katsuki stays silent, you glance at him: hands in his pockets, a scowl on his face. “I wish...I wish you would…” A sigh leaves your mouth, “It really doesn’t matter what I wish Katsuki. You need to figure things out for yourself — not just because I want you to.” You can almost hear the ‘tch’ going through his stubborn mind. Then, you reach the corner of your street — turning left not right. 

“Hey idiot.” The tone in Katsukis’ voice isn’t biting, only tired and surprisingly calm, “Did you hit your head or somethin’? Your house is this way.” His hand jerks, pointing distinctly right. The gesture makes you smile. 

“So you do remember where my house is.” You don’t bother hiding the smug tone in your voice — you couldn’t help but tease him a little. 

“ “Course I fucking do, ya idiot,” Katsuki mutters. You’re about to tease him about his foul mouth when his hand reaches for you, pinky latching onto yours and tugging. “K-Katsuki, what are you doing?”

A wicked, feral grin adornes his face when your hand reaches up, aiming to cover your blushing cheeks. Instead, Katsuki catches your hand, lacing your fingers together with his, “Keeping my promise.”

***

With only a small ‘tch’ falling from his lips, he grabs your pinky with his, curling his finger around your smaller one and saying in a gruff voice, “Promise.”

The memory comes back to you in a vivid flash. Your interlocked pinkies, the blush on Katsukis’ face, the way you leaned up on your tiptoes to kiss his cheek. It was so long ago and yet he remembers. 

His hand feels different than it did back then. Bigger. Palms that used to be soft were now covered with calluses, made rough from endless hours of training  — you even had some of your own. You smooth your fingers mindlessly over the calluses on Katsukis’ hand, tracing patterns into his skin — unbeknownst to the blondes’ furiously beating heart. 

***

Why did your hands have to be so damn perfect? 

They weren’t that perfect, far from it actually. Katsuki could feel the flaws on your skin. There was one in particular that he recognized; a long scar on the palm of your hand. He remembers the day that you got it, and how you made him kiss it better afterwards — he’s trying not to think about your lips when he feels it. Almost jumping out of his skin when your fingers smooth over his calluses, he attempts to repress a shiver at your touch. 

Katsuki knew that he had rough hands — especially with his training. But, with his sweat glands being the heart of his quirk, his hands were hypersensitive to touch. And seeing as it was your touch wasn’t helping the situation. 

He lets out a satisfied huff when your house comes into view, hoping to escape from your stroking fingers that feel really fucking nice against his skin. But even when he tugs at your interlocked hands, you don't let go. In fact, you're dragging him past the gate and to your front porch, making him growl at you, "What the fuck Y/N — you know that the old hag will have my head if I'm not home soon." 

He hears you mumble something about his swearing problem before sassing right back at him, "I'm not letting you go home all beat up Katsuki. So just shut up and do what you're told. Give me your phone." 

"Fuck no." His voice comes out as a teasing growl, because he knows what's coming.

You rip your hands from his before slamming them on your hips, nose scrunching up just the way he likes it and Katsuki positively grins — until you start rummaging through his pockets.

"What the — get the hell off me woman!" God, he had forgotten how much of a sass you were. Before he can react, you quickly pull the cell phone from his front pocket, dialing his mother immediately. 

"KATSUKI! I just saw the news. Where the hell are you?!" Katsuki snorts at your calm expression, clearly unfazed by his mother's yelling. At this point, he was just glad that the old hag wasn't yelling at him.

"Mitsuki? This is Y/N L/N. You remember me right?" Katsuki growls when his mother responds in a delighted voice. Now she’s being nice? 

"Of course, I haven't seen you in years sweetheart. You need to come and visit me! D'you have any idea where my idiot son is?"

"You hag!" You dodge Katsuki as he grabs for the phone, skipping around the gate while he backs away with a huff. "Yep, Katsuki is with me. He's pretty beat up though. Would it be alright if I fixed him up and sent him home a little later?"

"I'm not a fucking kid for you to send home Y/N—" 

"Of course! Just don't let that demon give you too much trouble — you're far too sweet to take Katsukis' shit." You laugh at Mitsuki's bluntness, taking in Bakugou as he slips off his uniform jacket, "Will do Mitsuki, I’ll come visit soon.”

As soon as you hang up the phone, you glance back at Katsuki to see him rolling up the sleeves of his uniform, revealing the chorded muscles of his forearms. The sight makes you swallow hard. Since when did he have those?

Your eyes flit over his frame, scanning the strong line of his jaw, ghosting down his tall body — had he always been this tall? Even after your growth throughout middle school, the boy still had at least seven inches on you. 

His shoulders were broad now, and they looked even more so after his blazer was off. How had you not noticed them? Or the bulging muscles that now lined his biceps? He was sixteen — the same age as you, but you were damn sure that sixteen year olds weren’t supposed to look like this. Who gave him the right to be this attractive? 

Noticing your eyes on his arms, Katsuki steps forward with a glint in his red gaze, licking his lip with a feral grin, “Whatcha lookin’ at Y/N?” Your eyes snap to his and then down, following the flick of his wicked tongue.

You swallow again. Hard.

But then, you see the knowing smirk on his face. Puffing out your cheeks with stubborn intent, you grab his hand again, this time to drag him into the house.

“Shut it Katsuki."

His smirk only grows wider. 

***

By some miracle, you had managed to make the explosive blond settle into a chair that you had pulled in from the kitchen. You were wedged in between his legs, back facing the bathroom counter as you fussed over his injuries. You can feel his chest expand sharply against your stomach as you dab over a particularly deep cut, and it makes you whisper a quiet ‘sorry’ under your breath. 

Katsuki only grunts in acknowledgement before moving his hands, allowing them to grip the backs of your thighs — close. He’s really close. 

You have to force yourself to breathe because his fingers are smoldering against the bare skin of your thighs and his large body is consuming yours. Even sitting down, his presence is dominating. Powerful. 

Like a cat waiting to pounce. 

You’re cleaning a shallow cut near his cheekbone when you notice a scar. It’s short but thick, resting just above his eyebrow. Your thumb brushes over it subconsciously and your brows furrow — you don’t remember this one. 

“Where did you get this one ‘Suki?”

Katsuki feels your touch like a brand against his skin and he wishes you would stop. He wishes that you would stop touching him this way, that you would stop making him feel the weird something that appears in his gut when you’re around. 

But he can’t pull away. Not when you’re looking at him like that. Or when your curvy body is right up against him — between his legs. And when he hears you say his nickname, the words fall from his mouth without hesitation, “Couple of years ago,” his voice seems hoarse and rough, even to his own ears. “Rock Climbing.”

His heart begins to beat wildly against the walls of his ribcage when your body shifts between his legs — you were leaning down. Katsukis’ crimson eyes widen as your lips press against his brow, right over his scar.

It seemed silly really. His body was covered in fresh cuts and bruises, yet you chose to kiss him there — a wound that had happened years ago. But then, you start whispering against the skin of his brow, and it makes sense. 

“I wasn’t there to kiss it better — like you were for mine.”

He knows that you’re referring to the scar on your palm. The one that he had pressed his lips against to stop your tears — you’d been seven and a half back then. Katsuki snorts at the thought, slapping playfully at the side of your thigh, “At least I wasn’t a wuss like you. I didn’t even cry when I got this. Guess you’re just not top hero material like me.” 

You blush when his large hand slaps your thigh, “Oh shuddup. I was seven! You know that I could kick your ass now.” You weren’t sure if you could. Your quirk was definitely strong but Katsukis’ combat experience greatly outweighed yours and he knew it. 

Katsuki grins at your words, fingers tightening threateningly around your thighs when he rasps, “Anytime baby girl, I’ll fuckin’ wreck you.”

Oh my god. 

Almost immediately, your hands are covering your blushing face — did he mean to say it like that? You peek through your fingers, only to see him staring straight at you with a devilish smirk on his face. Of course he meant to say it that way. 

You slam your fingers shut, blocking your face from view while letting out an embarrassed groan against your hands. Katsuki only cackles evilly at your embarrassment and attempts to pry your fingers away from your eyes, “C’mon Y/N. Don’t make me do it.” 

Make him do what?

You realize just what he means when his fingers hover over your waist. Oh no. He remembers. Just then, Katsuki attacks your waist mercilessly with his fingers, causing you to grab at his hands, “Katsuki please no—” 

Katsuki only grins as you double over in painful laughter, almost enjoying your suffering. “You think I’d forget how damn ticklish you are? Not a fucking chance.” Tears are leaking from the corners of your eyes as you twist and turn away from him, but Katsuki has you locked tight. One of his muscled arms is wrapped tightly around your waist, while the other tickles you without mercy.

“Say I’m the best.” His grin is absolutely feral. Your stomach twists painfully at yet another bout of giggles and you can’t help but wheeze, “Yes, you’re the best Katsuki—”

His fingers continue, “And the strongest?”

“Oh my god Katsuki, yes you are the fucking strongest — please stop.” You collapse almost immediately against his large frame when the fingers stop, leaving a few stray giggles to escape from your heaving chest. When you look at Katsuki, your breath catches — because there’s no smirk there. Or even the feral, triumphant grin that he usually adorns after winning a challenge. 

On his face is a genuine smile and it takes the wisps of breath right from your chest. At this moment, you consider it a good thing that Bakuou Katsuki frowns all the time. Because even more irresistible than his panty-dropping smirk, was the smile he was giving you now. 

And even more so, because you realize that the smile is just for you. 

***

He hasn’t heard you laugh like that in a long time. 

His heart is beating out of his chest again. And he’s sure that he is going to die — because your laugh is the most beautiful sound that he’s ever heard.

RobRae Week 2023 Day 2!!

@fuckyeahrobrae

"You ever see Raven pace like that?" Beast Boy asked Cyborg.

"Nah. She must be really excited." The latter shrugged.

The half demon girl frowned as she stopped in front of the large window overlooking the ocean.

"What, you aren't excited for Robin to come back?" The conversation continued behind them.

"No way! We've been chillaxing the last two weeks, and when he gets back it's going to be work, work, work! You know how he gets."

"Yeaaaaah..." Cyborg sighed. "Hey Raven!"

Raven jumped as she was snapped out of her thoughts and turned on her heel. "What are you yelling for? I'm right here."

"Can you stop doing that?" He asked.

"Doing what?"

"Thinking about Robin?" Beast Boy supplied.

"We haven't heard from him in three days." Raven said. "Aren't you worried?"

Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at each other, then back to Raven. "His last message was, 'We're on our way back'. Why would we be worried? It takes time to travel across space, you know."

Raven stomped her foot on the ground. "They've barely been in contact since they left! And now it's radio silence? Something has to be wrong."

"Raven, they went to a wedding together. What's the worst that could've happened?" Cyborg asked.

"Yeah, unless..." Beast Boy sang-song the implication.

"Oh, shut up." Raven pulled her hood up. "We're just friends."

"Oh look!" The TV screen started flashing, an alert popped up on screen. "They're back! Now you can stop worrying."

The three Titans made their way up to to the roof just in time to see their ship dock. "Hey Robin, Starfire! Welcome... Back..." Cyborg trailed off as the leader jumped out of the ship and stormed past them. "Or not." Cyborg turned to Starfire and asked, "What happened?"

"There was a... miscommunication." Starfire said sheepishly. "I may have introduced him as my... boyfriend. And he clarified that he was not, soooo..."

"Why would you do that?" Cyborg asked dumbfounded. "I thought he made it clear you two were just friends."

Raven was not around to hear the rest of the story as she turned around to go after Robin.

She found him in the garage, working on his bike- it was clear from the frustrated movements that he was still upset.

"Hey."

Robin stopped, and he turned around slowly with a frown. "Hey." He called back.

Raven stepped forward, closing the distance and stopping when she was just a foot away. "Not a fan of weddings?" She asked, her tone lightly teasing.

"Hmph. Not Tamaranean weddings." He shook his head. "It's all combat games and starbolt shootouts. You know they didn't even have cake?"

"Mmm. I heard you were Starfire's date."

Robin frowned as he stared at Raven's carefully neutral expression. "I think the term "boyfriend" and "boy who is a friend" don't translate the same in Tamaranean. Just a "friend" wasn't good enough to bring to Galfore's wedding." He sighed as he walked over to the tool table and leaned against it.

"Sorry to hear about it." Raven offered her sympathies.

"Thanks." He mumbled. "Either way, it's over with now. I'm glad to be back here."

Raven studied the ground, thinking back to the conversation that had started this whole ordeal.

"What do you mean you do not wish to go?" Starfire looked like she was on the verge of tears.

Cyborg looked bored, Beast Boy looked scared, and Raven looked as neutral as ever.

"I don't want to go another planet. It's nice out this time of year." Cyborg explained.

"I know I'm a handsome guy, but uh... Even I don't have a snowballs chance with Tamaranean girls." Beast Boy mumbled sheepishly.

"No thanks." Raven said.

Clearly not winning with those three, Starfire turned on Robin. "You will go with me, will you not?" She asked, her lip quivering as she gave him the puppy dog eyes.

"I, uh, you know... Sure?"

"Robin!"

All four sets of eyes turned back on her, and Raven was glad for the shadow her hood cast. "...Yes, Raven?" He asked slowly.

"I- It's nothing. Go if you want."

And then the two weeks of lighthearted teasing had started, and hadn't stopped. It was all, "Are you sure you wouldn't want to be Robin's plus one?" and "I'm sure Robin would like to see you in a dress~!" and it had driven Raven over the edge- for the first time in a long time, she'd snapped on her friends so badly that her eyes had turned red and they'd run away screaming. The next day things had more or less settled down, but they couldn't resist sneaking in the odd comment here and there.

"I'm glad you're back." She said to him.

"Me too."

Raven frowned and cleared her throat. "I- Missed you?" She said awkwardly. When Robin looked at her, she shrugged in an attempt to downplay what she'd just said. "You make for better company than Cyborg and Beast Boy do. Cy's alright, but when he and Beast Boy start acting up... you know."

Robin laughed, standing up and stretching before walking up to Raven. "I missed you too." He pulled her into a hug, and Raven happily linked her arms around him. "Next time I need a plus one somewhere, I'll invite you. At least you could teleport us somewhere when we've decided we've had enough."

Pulling back from Robin (but still keeping her hands on his shoulders), Raven cocked an eyebrow and asked, "And how long into this little trip would you have asked me to sneak away with you?"

Robin looked up as though he were in deep thought, letting his hands fall from Raven's back to her waist. "About thirty minutes?"

"That bad?"

"It was a long two weeks."

They laughed together as they parted, their hands brushing before Robin asked, "Wanna help me with this?" He gestured to his bike.

"Sure."

Although Raven may have done little more than hand Robin the tools he was asking for, she was happy to be back with him again.
