This had me like ā˜¹ļøā˜¹ļøā˜¹ļø so good! Arghhh the hurt comfort was so delicious!!! And jason going to dick for help wahh going to his big bro. I think what's most sad is that Jason's actually so young and inexperienced so he needs that compassion and understanding when he messes things up emotionally but also his words can really hurt, and reader had a right to react how she did. Poor girl. My heart clenched when he told her to hit him if he ever acts that way again ohhh baby thinks he's a beaten dog that can't be shown decency even when he lashes out ohhhh my godddd

warnings: angst with comfort
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ā€œJasonā€”ā€
He waves you off immediately, ā€œNo, Iā€™m not your problem, okay?ā€
Your arms drop, ā€œYouā€™re not a problem at all, thatā€™s not what Iā€™m sayingā€”ā€
ā€œThen what are you saying?ā€ he challenges.Ā 
You almost bite your tongue but then decide against it, ā€œIā€™m saying youā€™re being an asshole right now just because I tried to help.ā€
Heā€™s angry and youā€™re someplace in between desperate and tired, but you push on, hoping youā€™ll be able to solve this without an extended argument. To little avail though, apparently.Ā 
A tense exhale from him, ā€œI donā€™t need your help, I donā€™t know how I can make it any clearer.ā€
ā€œItā€™s not about needing itā€”ā€
ā€œNo, itā€™s about wanting it. I donā€™t want your fucking help,ā€ he snaps. ā€œIā€™m grown, I can handle my problems myself.ā€
You drop your hands to your sides, ā€œThen what am I doing here, Jason?ā€
ā€œI donā€™t know!ā€ You can literally see the regret sweep over his face but he lets the moment consume him and the words linger anyways.Ā 
You know he doesnā€™t always think before he talks, especially when heā€™s mad. Youā€™ve seen it plenty when heā€™s fighting with his family. This is the first time itā€™s shown up with you though, and while you know itā€™s not coming from a place of genuinityā€”it still really fucking stung.Ā 
Far from being in your control, tears slip out, more at his tone than his words, and you remove your gaze in favor of the linoleum tiles. He says nothing as you start to cry, which only makes the heat of the moment worsen.Ā 
ā€œOkay,ā€ You take a deep breath, pursing your lips. ā€œYou need to go away.ā€
Thereā€™s a long, hard moment of silence, but ultimately he doesnā€™t fight you on it, only exhales harshly and slams the door on his way out.
The resulting reverberation of the apartment has your shoulders shaking, tears falling onto your shirt.Ā Ā 
You and Jason donā€™t fight often but when you do itā€™s usually about insecurities and fears coming forward. Heā€™d been having a bad night to start with and all you wanted to do was make him feel better but he wasnā€™t willing to talk to you or let you do anything for him. He gets selfishly selfless like that, but you know why.
You know him, in and out. You couldā€™ve anticipated thisā€”you shouldā€™ve. You shouldā€™ve approached the topic more sensitively. And itā€™s not his fault, his life has taught him that itā€™s safer to believe that other people donā€™t have his best interest. You know that.Ā 
Yeah, you know him in and out, but he knows you in and out, too. He knows youā€™ve shown him nothing but kindness and generosity since the day you met and youā€™ve reinforced a thousand times how safe you are for him. But if he still canā€™t trust you to care about him, then what are you doing here?
You let yourself fall back onto the arm of the couch, huffing in defeat.Ā 
Itā€™s nearing two in the morning when Dick awakens, the bandages across his abdomen digging into his skin uncomfortably. He sits up, bedsheet pooling around his waist. The ache of the bruising pushes him towards his old bedroom door before heā€™s even fully coherent, narrowly missing shouldering the door frame as he passes through.
Heā€™s still half asleep as he thumps down the staircase, cold hands stuffed in the pocket of his sweatshirt. Heā€™s so out of it in his blind search for painkillers, that he nearly misses the large shadowed figure huddled up on the couch.
Dick stills, blinking warily.
ā€œWhatā€™re you doing here?ā€
His younger brother says nothing, only continues to stew in the shadows, staring at the rug.
As his eyes adjust, Dick takes in his appearance: messy hair, tired eyes, only clad in a t-shirt and sweatpants.
He rubs his eyes, approaching with measured steps, ā€œWhat happened?ā€
Jason remains silent for a long minute before grunting out, ā€œGot in a fight.ā€
Dick nods slowly, shuffling forward a little more to sit on the far end of the couch.Ā 
ā€œWhatā€™d you do?ā€
Jason doesnā€™t have it in him to comment on how his brother immediately knew he was the issue. It just makes the entire thing hurt even worse. Instead, he tells the truth.Ā 
ā€œBe myself.ā€
Dick says nothing,Ā 
When the silence persists, Jason elaborates, even though itā€™s the last thing he wants to admit to.
ā€œI made her cry,ā€ he says, voice below even a whisper. He hates it and he hates himself for leaving you when he knew heā€™d hurt you.
Dick nods, not saying anything. Heā€™s definitely been there before, though heā€™s not nearly as volatile as Jason can be, so he can imagine how this likely played out. In any case, Jason has never responded well to being pushed to talk about his feelings so Dick lets him get there in his own time.
Heā€™s half expecting to end up with no results at all, but Jason pipes up after a minute, voice broken.
ā€œI donā€™t know what she wants me to do,ā€ he rasps.
Dick takes a deep breath, adjusting his posture. ā€œWhen girls are mad you give them space but when theyā€™re sad you definitely donā€™t. Is she sad or mad?ā€
Jason exhales desperately.
ā€œBoth, I think.ā€
Dick nods, understanding.
ā€œThen go home.ā€
Jason shakes his head, defeated. ā€œShe told me to leave. She doesnā€™t want to talk to me.ā€
ā€œWhat did you say?ā€
He huffs, not wanting to bring the memory back up. ā€œI basically told her to fuck off.ā€
ā€œYeah,ā€ Dick drawls. ā€œI wouldnā€™t let that simmer.ā€
Jasonā€™s head snaps over to him. ā€œSheā€™ll break up with me?ā€
ā€œNo, I donā€™tā€”ā€ Dick pauses, thinking over his words. ā€œItā€™ll be fine. Just go home.ā€
Despite taking the long route on the way to the manor, Jason sped back home on his bike, now unwilling to leave you alone for another second longer than he had to.Ā 
He creeps through the front door of your apartment, proud and only a little hurt that youā€™d remembered to lock it.Ā 
The apartmentā€™s mostly quiet, nothing but a lamp lighting up the front half. He can hear the shower running from where he stands, the waterfall noise awfully muffled from behind the closed bathroom door.
He bolts the door behind him, pushing forward towards the hallway. He approaches the bathroom door, noticing how thereā€™s no light flooding out from underneath.
ā€œBaby?ā€ Jason calls it out quietly, like heā€™s scared to commit to alerting you of his presence.
He hears no response, but he knows you heard him. He knows you heard him in the same way that he knows youā€™re sitting on the shower floor, curled in on yourself under the sensory relief that the pouring water brings. He doesnā€™t know how, he just does.
So he leans against the door, listening closely, and calls out again, ā€œCan I come in?ā€
Thereā€™s a solid ten seconds of silence before you respond, just barely audible over the cascade of water.
ā€œNot right now.ā€
Your volume has him wincing, saddened and embarrassed that heā€™s the one that made you feel like this.
He reluctantly walks back to the bedroom with heavy shoulders, thudding his weight down on the mattress. He sits half folded over himself for the next ten minutes, thinking only of you, sitting alone in the shower with your thoughts.
He perks up considerably when he hears the water shut off, and after several long minutes, you emerge from the bathroom, towel wrapped around your middle.
He stands up when you enter the bedroom, hands stiff and awkward at his sides. You barely look at him, having trouble willing yourself to do more than glance.Ā 
Your eyes fall downward, your lips pursing. You instinctually move to clutching the towel tighter around you, more than anything because you donā€™t know what to do with your hands.Ā 
It makes his heart break to see you so out of comfort around himā€”because of himā€”so he gives you the benefit of privacy, turning around so you can get dressed. It kills him to do it, makes him feel like heā€™s just some stranger in your life rather than him. But he supposes that he deserves to feel like that right now.Ā 
Whether or not you wanted him to turn around goes unsaid, he can only hear the quiet shuffling of you putting clothes on.
He waits until the movement stops, after he hears the squeak of the bed springs and the faint sound of the sheets being pulled up.
He turns around again with a silent sigh, taking in the sight of you laying in bed, back turned to him.Ā Ā 
He approaches slowly, stopping just before his knees hit the mattress. He notices quickly that the t-shirt youā€™d chosen was one of your own. He frowns.Ā Ā 
ā€œSweetheart. Can I touch you?ā€ His voice is soft and low, like heā€™s trying to coax you back out to him.
It takes a long few moments, but you nod.
He sits down on the bed, still hesitant to go through with it.
ā€œWill you turn over?ā€
An even longer pause and youā€™re flipping over to face him. You donā€™t make eye contact, only look blankly past him. Your blinks are heavy, and even in the dark, he can see that your eyes are still bloodshot.Ā 
He brushes your hair back, his fingers feather-light against you, like heā€™s scared to touch you too harshly. Like heā€™s touching porcelain.
He lets you hold the silence for a while, reasoning with himself that youā€™ll talk when youā€™re ready.
You let it go on longer than heā€™d hoped, past the point of him knowing what to do with it. Heā€™d hoped youā€™d yell at him. He can take that, he knows he can. He can see plainly that youā€™re thinking deeply and wants more than anything for you to say it, scream it if you have to.Ā 
He knows he deserves it and he frankly would take anything over the silence. But then again, he doesnā€™t deserve the reprieve, does he? No, but heā€™s not strong enough to deny himself the chance to hear your voice.
ā€œSay it,ā€ he urges. ā€œPlease.ā€
Your fingers tap against the bed sheets for a moment before you sit up, almost defeated.Ā 
You face him, taking a breath and relenting. ā€œI donā€™t like that you said that to me.ā€
He nods, brow deep. ā€œMe neither.ā€
Your shoulders sag at that, and you feel stuck in the moment. You feel guilty too but you donā€™t know if you should. He didnā€™t mean it, you know that, and they werenā€™t his words, really. But the snap of his voice when heā€™d said it and the look on his faceā€”it made you feel terrible. It still does.
You look awkwardly to the left, feeling heavily spectated by him and so hyper-conscious of all of your movements. The downturn of your lips gives way to burning in your eyes and before you can do anything about it, tears are spilling out.Ā 
Jason sees it immediately, his head lulling helplessly.Ā 
ā€œOh, baby. Please donā€™t cry, please.ā€
But that only makes it worse, the tears falling faster and heavier at his soft tone.
He forgoes asking permission and pulls you directly into his chest, a firm hand on the back of your head. Itā€™s what you needed though, to be close to him right now.
ā€œIā€™m sorry. Iā€™m really fucking sorry, babyā€”ā€ he murmurs against your hair, pressing a rough kiss as he holds you tighter.
You shake your head, sniffling. ā€œItā€™s okay, Jay.ā€
ā€œNo, itā€™s not.ā€
That sentiment lingers for several minutes, as he holds you cheek to chest and rubs soothing patterns into your hair.
Itā€™s not long before youā€™re able to fully relax against him, his touch feeling nothing short of therapeutic. Your breathing eventually levels out back to baseline and your thoughts start to find peace amongst themselves.
When youā€™re ready, you sit back from him, letting him see your face again.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 
He visibly winces as he scans over the tears on your cheeks, how theyā€™re starting to stain.
Youā€™re still upset, a little, but not nearly as much as youā€™re sure your face is conveying.Ā 
ā€œItā€™s okay,ā€ you tell him, wiping your eyes with your sleeve.
He shakes his head, ā€œIf I ever say something like that to you again, hit me. Iā€™m serious.ā€
You drop your hand onto your lap, tilting your head at him with a serious look. ā€œIā€™m not going to hit youā€”ā€
ā€œThen break up with me. Donā€™t ever let somebody talk to you like that, especially not me.ā€
His voice is hard and you can tell the impact of his words have every bit of weight intended.
Your mouth closes and you waver unsure of where to go with that. Your gaze falls down to where your hands lie discarded on your lap and thereā€™s a palpable shift to the air in the room.
ā€œHey.ā€ He pushes your chin up to make you look at him, ā€œListen to me. Youā€™re the love of my life. You hear me? Iā€™m supposed to take care of you, make you happy. I donā€™tā€¦I canā€™t talk to you like that. Iā€™m sorry. Iā€™m really sorry.ā€
Your eyes flicker back and forth across each others and you can see the genuine sincerity etched plainly across his face.
He processes the comprehension across your own before his jaw tenses for a moment and he adds, ā€œNobodyā€™s gonna talk to you like that, much less me. Yes?ā€Ā 
You start to nod slowly and he mirrors you until heā€™s convinced of your belief in the statement.Ā 
He rubs calm circles into your thighs as you both sit with the conversation, the light sounds of each others breaths the only sound heard. This silence isnā€™t the same as it was before though, itā€™s safer, more comfortable. Itā€™s familiar, if not weighted.Ā Ā 
ā€œI love you,ā€ you tell him quietly.
His eyebrows furrow like his heart was just shattered.Ā 
ā€œI love you too, baby. So much.ā€

Dick (Nightwing) and Jason (Robin) stare at Bruce. One sports pleading eyes, the other a shit eating grin. Thereā€™s a child between them with black hair and blue eyes.
Bruce, he doesnā€™t know whatā€™s happening but he doesnā€™t like it: No.
Dick, grinning: Heā€™s our younger brother now.
Jason, nodding seriously: Youā€™re not gonna take him from us.
Tim, got kidnapped while taking photos of patrol, just happy to be there: Whereā€™s the Batcave?
Bruce: what.
Dick, grinning wider: Heā€™s ours now.

thinking about the expert masseuse Alfred hired for the family that is paid a small fortune annually to provide massage services and ignore so, so many things. No questions, no remarks, just quality service and an ironclad NDA that, if broken, would probably topple said masseuseā€™s entire family line.
Things Alfred is paying them to ignore, in no specific order:
Bruceā€™s spinal hardware courtesy of Bane :)
weird amounts of muscle on everyone, even the kids (despite them allegedly not working physical jobs)
scars
FRESH scars
the fact that every joint in Bruceā€™s body clicks when moved/manipulated at the tender age of 42
Olympic athlete level physiques
rotator cuff injuries across the whole family
scars that are definitely from bullets and/or acid splashes
old signs of what looks like torture (Bruce)
Dickā€™s entire left arm is basically screws and plates (he ā€œfell really badā€ once)
every single family member takes deep tissue massage with max pressure with 0 complaints
calluses
no really, the weirdest fucking calluses

Duke Thomas gets added to the payroll
Bruce Wayne (seeing Duke walk past his office): Duke.
Duke backwards walked to Bruceā€™s office.
Duke: Sup?
Bruce: Did you check your bank account? The direct deposit shouldā€™ve hit.
Duke: The what? Oh you were serious about that?
Bruce: Of course, youā€™re not only my son, but you do work for me and you deserve an income.
Duke: Thanks dude, but I canā€™t take your money I work at the library.
Bruce: Duke, trust me. You deserve this. I do it for all my kidsā€¦ except Tim.
Duke: Why not Tim?
Bruce: Long storyā€¦ he owns part of my company, plus he- he definitely embezzled a lot of my funds before I noticed so him working at my company is his paycheck.
Duke (alarmed): That was him?!
Bruce: Yeah, but thatā€™s not important currently. You enjoy your first payhcheck and Iā€™m proud of you.
Duke: Thanks man.
Duke left the office, checking his phone as he walked to his room. He nearly dropped his phone seeing the four digits in his bank account that had five dollars in it three days ago.
Duke (shocked, happy): Three- Three thousand dollars?! Woooooooo! Iā€™m eating good tonight! No wait, game stop here I come!
Duke ran out the house passing by Stephanie and Jason.
Duke: I can finally buy a PlayStation!
Jason: Wait until he finds out itā€™s a monthly payment.
Stephanie: Iā€™ll tell him later. Want to go tell Tim about it first?
Jason: 100% yes.

Maybe I've got a couple screws loose but I'm extremely into this. Extremely.
I think it's hilarious that Jason's idea of stalking is going mechanic mode on their apartment. Also it's very oddly sweet? I feel like he's genuinely trying to court them but he has no clue how to go about it so he's just freaking them out instead. But it's like he's "researched" what normal people do when they like someone but he has no understanding of boundaries or how to build trust so he's like :) here's some sugar! fixed your fan! I'm such a promising suitor :) meanwhile reader has the stress levels of someone being hunted for sport
Anyway, who am I to deny fate? If big strong traumatized man wants to take me to his safe house and treat me like a princess, WHO AM I TO QUESTION THE UNIVERSE!
So very dreamy <3
Guardian Angel
CW: Stalking, people breaking into your apartment (Arkham Knight and others), people brushing off an obvious issue, and violence. Be warned, there are no angels in Gotham. ~2.2k words
Tumblr media
You have a stalker. Probably. Maybe. If you do, they're so good at covering their tracks that you're starting to believe you're just paranoid.
But it's the odd events, the trinkets moved slightly out of place, that have you checking over your shoulder.
There wasn't even any evidence at first. Your day had been completely normal. All you were doing was cooking dinner, when your nerves went on end, and goosebumps rose on your skin. The feeling of being watched, of being prey set in.
It didn't make sense, didn't have a reason, but you closed your curtains and triple checked your locks nonetheless. (The bat you keep by your bed slept next to you that night)
You would have forgotten about the incident entirely if, a week later, the same feeling crept up your spine while you walked home. You'd never walked faster to get to your building. You'd practically sprinted up the stairs to your apartment, and slammed to the door behind you.
Even within your home, it took almost the whole night for the feeling to fade.
Two times could be a coincidence, but then things started getting stranger.
You could have sworn you left your keys on the counter the night before, so why, why did you find them on the coffee table?
It makes you uneasy, almost sick, but you're already late to work. So you do the only thing you can, you brush it off.
Until it happens. A thing you can't brush off.
You knew you had used the last of the sugar yesterday. Knew it because you had made a mental note to pick some up the next time you went to the store.
But there's sugar. It's not a lot. Just enough to get you through a few days. Enough to make you think you might have just missed the last of it.
You know you're right. You know you were out of sugar and even if your coworkers laugh and tell you to get more sleep, that having an angel that refills your sugar can't be that bad, you know someone's been in your apartment.
You set traps, set cameras, get your locks changed, take note of everything. You don't get any evidence.
But you notice that your window doesn't squeak anymore when you open it. Your shower doesn't rattle when you go to start it. Your oven actually heats up to the temperature you set it to.
It's been like this for months now. And you're starting to believe that Gotham does have its own set of angels that go around trying to make your life a little easier.
That is until, you meet him.
You'd been unlucky. Gotten grabbed and dragged into the alley by your apartment by some haggard looking man waving a gun. It wasn't the first time you'd been mugged in Gotham, and you doubted it would be the last.
You had reluctantly pulled your wallet and phone out of your pockets and handed them off when an armored-clad person dropped between the gun and you.
At first, it was a relief. Being saved by Batman or Nightwing is practically a rite of passage in Gotham.
But then you watched the would-be mugger hit the ground with a sickening crunch of his arm. Then you watched your savior turn to face you, and you knew it was him.
You didn't have an explanation, you didn't have proof. You'd never even seen a glimpse of the helmet that hid his face before. But you knew. He's the one that's been following you. He's the one that's been in your home.
No amount of good deeds can overshadow how violating it feels, to know he's been watching you, observing you, doing things for you. You instinctively step back.
He only matches the distance you tried to create with a step of his own.
"Who are you? What do you want," You snap, sounding braver than you feel.
He doesn't answer at first, just tilts his head like he's studying you. You think it might be because he's never seen you think close before.
"I saved you," he says instead, completely avoiding your question. You wonder if he's expecting to be treated like a hero, if he's looking for your praise. It makes your stomach churn.
"You've been following me. You're the one who's been in my apartment," You protest, eyes darting.
You half expect someone to come help you. With the way he's dressed, with how he's carrying himself, he has to be some kind of new villian you missed on the news.
He straightens out at your accusation, "Have I?"
You almost falter, almost do chalk it up to paranoia, but you just knew. Every fiber of your being knows, "Yes," You breathe out instead, "You have."
He nods slowly, then turns his back to you. A part of you wants to run, to try and escape and scream and get as far away from the man who feels like he could make you disappear without a trace.
He bends down and scoops up your phone and wallet before turning back to you. You freeze when he walks closer, each step steady and measured, then extends your belongings to you. Your hand shakes when you snatch at them.
You half expect him to yank them away, to make you beg, but he doesn't. He only keeps his grip tight on them, forcing you to be connected while you tug helpless at your things.
He watches you with his head slightly cocked before speaking again, "And if I have?"
He's easy, robotic cadence makes your blood grow cold, "Then you should stop," You retort, voice as cold as your veins.
"And if I won't," he prompts, finally releasing his hold on your things.
"I'll go to the police," You threaten, stuffing your wallet and phone back into your pockets.
"They can't help you," he warns. It makes you uneasy, that he makes no attempt to keep space between you. Even if his body language doesn't seem dangerous, everything else about him does.
"They can contact Batman," You try instead.
He laughs. It sounds humorless, empty, "He can't help you either."
You lose your nerve then, when he pats your cheek, and the guns holstered to his side seem to glint at you. "Get home," he tells you, and it makes you feel like you're some kind of pet.
And then he's gone, leaving you to an alley empty of anything, save for you and the mugger crumpled to the ground. All you can do is go home. Sleep doesn't come for you that night.
He's sloppy, now that he knows you know. You can tell it's on purpose.
Flashes of glowing blue outside your window, your things carelessly shifted about your apartment, the broken fan that hasn't worked since you moved in left on and spinning when you come home from work.
The only place he hasn't seemed to touch is your bedroom. You're not sure if it's because he's showing some slightest form of respect or if he's simply too good at hiding his tracks for you to notice.
Both options make you feel anxious, and you constantly comb over your things for proof of his presence.
You rack your brain over it, lose sleep over it, but you can't come up with one idea of who he is and why he's doing this.
There's nothing on him in the news, nothing on the internet, not even a whisper on the streets.
It feels like it's all one big, sick game to him when your favorite flowers start showing up at your door, when your gas tank fills itself.
When you tell your coworkers, in a near panic, about your rent being mysteriously paid, they tell you it's harmless, it's kind of sweet, really.
Shouldn't you just be grateful that someone's doing all that for you? Shouldn't you be thankful to have an angel looking out for you in this city?
But you know it's not harmless. You know he's capable of so much more. You know he's no angel.
The sound of the mugger's arm snapping still haunts you.
But you don't know what to do. You're stuck, on edge, and slowly coming to terms with having to live like this forever.
That is, until your bad luck seems to get even worse. You were in your pajamas, already half asleep as you're lounging on your couch, when your world gets thrown into chaos.
There's a click in your apartment door's lock, and you have the terrifying realization that tonight's the one night you'd forgotten to throw the deadbolt.
"I told ya I could get the keys to this floor. And barely anybody lives in this building afta what happen ta Murphy," the heavy Gotham accent fills your apartment and three men file into your living room like they own it.
They freeze when they see you, and you don't hesitate to sprint for your fire escape.
You've just managed to throw your window open when one of them grabs you around the middle and hauls you back, throwing you to the floor. Your head knocks against the ground, and everything spins.
You think you whimper as they start bickering. "You said no one would be here!"
"They weren't supposed ta be! It's all supposed ta be empty," one of them snaps back. It only makes your head pound and your vision swim.
You try to push yourself off the floor, but a boot lands at the center of your back and forces you back to the ground, "We have to kill them."
Murmurs of reluctance fill the room, and for a second, you think you'll get to live.
"They saw our faces," You hear the telltale sound of a gun clicking off its safety, "I'll do it."
You flinch with the shot sounds, but no more pain comes. The weight comes off your back, and a body collapses to the floor next to you.
You lift your head just enough to see a familiar blur of blue charge at the remaining two men.
It's not so much of a fight as it is an execution. It's a struggle to keep your eyes open, but anything you can't see you can hear.
There's no mercy in his actions, all wrath and fury, and you want to laugh because, in a way, he is your guardian angel. An avenging angel, pummeling the people who threatened you into something unrecognizable.
You're sure how long it lasts, how long you hear his fists connect to their flesh. But eventually, your apartment goes quiet. The sound of fabric shuffling reaches your ears, and calloused hands carefully help you move until you're sitting up.
Warm palms press to your face you realize he's taken his gloves off. You force your eyes to open, morbidly curious if he's removed his helmet, too. You're not sure why you're disappointed he hasn't.
"Saved me again," You mumble, words almost slurring.
"You're not safe here," he says softly, and his thumb runs over your cheek like he's trying to comfort you.
"They didn't think anyone lived here," You supply, but he apparently doesn't find that very reassuring.
"Let's get you out here," he says instead, and you blame it on your head injury for being impressed at how he doesn't show any signs of struggling when he picks you up and cradles you to his chest.
"Don't have anywhere to go," you say weakly, mentally trying to do the math on how much a safe hotel would cost at this time of night.
The moonlight seems to give his helmet an odd shine as you stare hazily at him. It almost looks like a halo.
"I have a place," he tells you, already carrying you out of your apartment window.
That snaps you out of your thoughts. It makes you frown, even in your dazed state, you know you don't want to go with him. That even with the trick of the light, he's no angel.
You start to squirm, "Noā€“ no, waitā€“"
"You need somewhere safe to recover," he says, and he doesn't seem to notice your fidgeting. Your heart leaps to your throat, at how securely he's holding you. With anyone else, it would have felt like a promise of protection.
"I don't trust you, you're not safe," You stumble out, head growing heavy with each step he takes from your apartment.
"No one's safe. But I don't have any plans on hurting you," he murmurs, seemingly more occupied with getting you to wherever he's planning to take you.
"But you could," You exhale out, and your voice sounds weak even to yourself.
That makes him pause, and his helmet tips as if he's focusing on you, "Maybe, but I wouldn't like it."
You want to argue more, demand he set you down. But your brain feels so foggy, and you're so tired and drained that your head just kind of finds itself on his shoulder.
"You can sleep," he says, and your eyes fall shut at how soft he sounds, "I'll keep watch."
You really do want to protest, but his shoulder is surprisingly comfortable. You can't help but think, as you drift off, that your angel might have fallen far lower than you can handle.

(Dick coming to collect Jason after heā€™s been ā€œwrongfullyā€ captured by the justice league while Batman is off world:)
Dick: Listen, Hood might be a criminal, but heā€™s one of Gothamā€™s. And heā€™s my brother.
JL: he killed 80 people in two days.
Dick: ā€¦heā€™s adopted?
Jason, glaring while bound to a chair: SO ARE YOU???

the batkids play the ā€œwhatā€™s the most annoying injury youā€™ve ever had?ā€ game but itā€™s lighthearted (ā€œI broke both thumbs on a bad landing and couldnā€™t play video games for a monthā€ ā€œone time I got a cut on my leg that reopened every time I stood upā€ etc) until Bruce walks in. someone asks him the most annoying injury heā€™s ever had and he doesnā€™t even stop to think about it.
ā€œFracturing my spine.ā€
ā€œOh jeez,ā€ Dick said, making a face. ā€œYeah, thatā€™ll do it. Thatā€™s definitelyā€¦well, annoying isnā€™t the word Iā€™d use.ā€
Bruce, expressionless: ā€œMostly because I couldnā€™t walk or complete other daily activities without assistance for an extended period of time.ā€
Dick, glancing at Jason. ā€œUhā€¦.huh.ā€
ā€œWhat about that time Ivy hit you with that leaf and you couldnā€™t eat legumes for a year?ā€ Jason asked, redirecting the suddenly maudlin group. ā€œWasnā€™t that more annoying?ā€
ā€œHmm.ā€
Tim leaned back, looking curious. ā€œJust legumes?ā€
ā€œLegumes,ā€ Jason repeated, waving a hand. ā€œIt got ugly.ā€
ā€œIā€™m not a huge fan of peanuts,ā€ Bruce said, thoughtful.
ā€œYeah, no shit, I wonder why.ā€

I love how people are like Jason Todd was a demon child and all the other robins were angels compared to him like lmao robin!Jason was a fucking delight what do you mean
Dick showed up at the manor with a blue stuffed animal elephant and the rage of 100 men and the only thing thats changed is that the elephant is grey now
Tim showed up with blackmail on the fucking Batman and bullied him into accepting him as robin
Damian popped up on the doorstep holding a fucking katanna
Meanwhile robin!jason was jumping from building to building squealing robin magic! and would spontaneously hug Batman. he loved reading shakepeare knowledge and literally screamed golly jee willickers as the highest curse word in his vocabulary.
Robin!Jason was a goddamned fucking delight and all the other ones were the little demon children lmaooo

Dick, on the phone: *leans away* Clark says hi, guys.
Tim: Hi!
Jason: Hi.
Cassandra: Hi.
Stephanie: Hi.
Duke: Hi!
Damian: Hi.
Dick, on the phone: Clark they all say hi back.
Bruce to himself, so done: Truly a pinnacle of human communication. I say something they ignore me, but it's all 'hi' like synchronized idiots when it comes to Clark.
Clark, faintly audible: Bruce I heard that.

"Weird Questions from a Weird City: Batfamily Edition
Duke Thomas: Whatā€™s your biggest fear?
Jason Todd: That Iā€™ll never be good enough for anyone.
Tim Drake: Everyone hates me and talks about me behind my back.
Dick Grayson: Vampires.
Jason Todd: ...
Tim Drake: ...
Dick Grayson: I got turned into one once and nearly killed peoples. It's a bloodlust, you never know when you'll be fully quenched and every non-vampire is a succulent vessel... But I'm not a vampire anymore and that is in my past.
Dick eats his apple after that.
*silence*
Duke Thomas: Holy crap stick, Batman.
Tim: Can I change my option to Dick Grayson?
Jason: Same.

I love the idea of all the robins kinda being clones of each other with just a few differences and a concussed Bruce not being able to tell who heā€™s squinting at so he just says generic statements and avoids saying any names
Bruce (sitting at the breakfast table): soā€¦ howā€™s the weatherā€¦ dick?
Jason (grinning): you do know Iā€™m gonna hold this against you for like, the next 2 months right
Bruce: (groans into his hands)
Bruce (walking into the living room): hey have you read through the files I gave you yesterday?
Dick: (confused cause he took a day off to surprise Bruce) ?
Bruce: so?
Dick: erā€¦ no?
Bruce: Dick?? What are you doing here?
Bruce (walks into the kitchen with a fresh concussion): Jason? I thought you were on a mission with the outlaws?
Tim: (frozen through mid fridge raid, having assumed they were past Bruce calling him Jason since yk. Heā€™s a shit brickhouse now and Tim is, well, obviously not): uh?
Bruce: *turns around and leaves*
Bruce: Oh hey Cass, when did you arrive from Babsā€™?
Damian: (slowly turns around in the black hoodie heā€™s wearing) weā€™re not even the same gender
Bruce: (under his breath) yeah but the same height

Whimpering you say?
remyā€™s first smut, woo! saw this post and wrote this in a mad dash so, uhhhh, have some whiny, needy jason getting the blowjob he so dearly deserves. 18+ mdni or I will haunt you through your walls.
Jason Todd is a powerful man. Heā€™s big; all 6ā€™5ā€ of him towers over damn near anyone in any room. Heā€™s strong; 235 pounds of pure muscle and all the force that that weight can inflict. Heā€™s skilled; body ready to be wielded with deadly precision. Jason Todd is a powerful man.
How powerful you must be to have made him weak.
Heā€™s whimpering. The big, bad Red Hood is whimpering in your bed as you kiss bruises into his thick thighs. You lick the soft flesh after you bite it and feel the tremors that wrack his corded muscles. Heā€™s panting wildly, chest heaving up and down with the effort itā€™s taking him to force air in and out of his lungs. You smile to yourself at how worked up heā€™s gotten from a few kisses to his inner thighs. Youā€™d learned how sensitive he was there after patrol one night; heā€™d gotten a shallow cut after barreling through a window, the superficial wound paining him far worse than it should have. You felt bad at the time for thinking about all the wicked little ways you could use this new information against himā€”what a terrible partner, thinking about how to get your boyfriend off when heā€™s hurting.
But heā€™s not hurting now. Well, not in any way he doesnā€™t enjoy.
ā€œPlease, baby, please,ā€ he begs, voice gravelly and desperate, ā€œNeed you so bad.ā€
You giggle, the sound muffled as you continue to leave hickeys along his thighs. You part yourself from his legsā€”and, oh, it truly is a struggleā€”and nuzzle your cheek against him through his boxers. He whines high and reedy, hips bucking up to grind against your face. You yank your head back, raise a questioning eyebrow at his boldness. He flushes red all the way down to his chest.
ā€œSorry, ā€˜m sorry, sweetheart,ā€ he babbles as he forces his hips back down on the bed, ā€œWant you so bad it hurts.ā€
And you canā€™t very well leave your sweet, strong boyfriend in pain, can you? No, after all the good he does, he deserves something nice. He lets out a noise that sounds suspiciously like a sob when you tell him as much before pulling his boxers down and closing your fist around his cock. You admire how your thumb and middle finger donā€™t even touch around the thickness of him. He whines at the stillness of your hand, thrusts his hips up to give himself the friction he so desperately needs.
You indulge him the pleasure of doing as he wishes. You indulge yourself the pleasure of watching his pretty green eyes roll back when you wrap your lips around his leaking tip. You revel in your own sick little joy as your jaw locks up, as your eyes burn and your gag reflex kicks when you take him down to his base. You think you may need mental help when you feel your slick drip down your thighs as tears track their way down his face, his whiny punched out ah ah ahā€™s echoing in the room. You donā€™t really care how deranged you may be when he cums down your throat, warm thick ropes that you swallow the second they hit your tongue.
Jason Todd is a powerful man. But the second he comes back down from heaven, youā€™re the one that has him on his knees.

AU Where the Justice League forms as usual except for one slight difference where Bruce just so happens to have been the one superheroing for the longest. (Excluding Diana, who got up to it in World War 1 and then mostly didn't while she learned about Man's World)
Bruce helps form the Justice League, ignoring all of the comments as they come to the sudden realization that Gotham's baby cryptid story is actually a man in a very intimidating armored suit who can and will break your arm if you cause problems for him. They are unaware that this is not the first team he's led, and actually he's used to teams full of mostly teenagers who also happen to be his children. This should be easier, this team is primarily adults.
He realizes rapidly that he doesn't understand these people.
His kids take bonding activities to mean learning a dozen different ways to break someones leg. That doesn't fly with these people. And that is most of Bruce's ideas, hell when he was a kid Alfred took every opportunity to get him out of his room and mostly that was with the agreement that Alfred would teach him how to defend himself. He's come by it honestly.
This team is not easier. They have more drama than when his house was actually full of kids. It's insane. He doesn't know what to do with it, usually he just sent the kids to their rooms or grounded them from patrol. That doesn't work here.
He comes to a strange crossroads. That falls apart when he forgets who he's working with and snaps at Hal with a full room of heroes that the next person to throw a punch or an insult without a reason too will be sparring with him.
A long standing rule in the batcave that worked two fold to prevent infighting between the kids and too ensure that they were well and truly trained.
It works wonders. No one says a word out of line for the rest of the debrief. Bruce becomes the unofficial mediator of the league over Clark because anytime he walked in on a fight it suddenly became 10 times more civil out of sheer terror of what he'd do to them in a sparring match.
Eventually they actually meet his kids. Well, one kid.
Half way through a mission (one of the rare ones in Gotham) the Bat comes to a complete stop at the edge of an alley. Every single league member on the team comes to a stop behind him. Slowly from the shadows of the alley a man in a red helmet stalks out to greet them.
"You don't call, you don't write"
"Red Hood."
"Don't Red Hood me! We've been worried sick!"
"I was at the cave last night."
"You didn't answer my texts B. You always answer my texts."
Somehow it ends with big and scary following them through the rest of the mission with a running commentary of how much Bats has let him down in his failure to respond in a timely manner to a text send less than an hour before he ran into them in the alley. It only ends when Red Robin shows up.
And even then it only ends because Hood can't keep himself from throwing a punch and Bruce has to snap at him that if he throws another one they're sparring when they get home.
And by god is Jason giving up the chance to punch his brothers.
