Kryptonian Headcanons//Theories #1
"X-Ray Vision" Is Actually Echolocation.
This is a theory I developed based on the fact that we know Superman can see through concrete, skin, and basically everything besides lead, which is quite curious because that's not how x-rays work.
First, to actually see an image made by x-ray, you would need something to stand behind or under the area you want to scan, so it's not like a photographic camera where the image comes from behind the lenses. Even if Superman had the equipment to picture the image, he would just send the rays and mark everything with bones and whatever.
Now, with the echolocation, however, it makes sense that he would be able to see behind walls and stuff. We know he is capable of producing infrasound with his vocal chords, like we see in Batman/Superman - World's Finest:
The infrasound he produces goes through tiny holes on the surfaces such as skin (pores) or concrete (windows perhaps) and whenever hitting something, go back to where they came from, reflecting an image made out of sounds.
His Kryptonian brain probably has a specific area made only for translating such sounds into shapes (maybe textures?) and so he knows what's behind something, he "sees" it.
There are still some flaws to this theory, like how I'm not sure how he can't see through lead specifically, but I'll keep updating this as we go. If you wanna add anything, feel free to reply or reblog!

I think we should talk more about the different reactions Kryptonians could have to different radiation sources. Like obviously everyone knows that different solar radiations give them different levels of powers, and different kinds of kryptonite afflict them with different maladies.
But what about other radiation sources, the kind that those of us who donât process radiation with our skin would never think about?
Letâs talk about how laser pointers make Kryptonians incredibly itchy, and how Konâs friends love to tease him with them.
Letâs talk about how the Kentâs old cathode ray television always put Clark right to sleep, and how they dug it out of storage when Jon was having trouble sleeping through the nights.
Letâs talk about how neon lights make Kryptonians a little bit loopy, and how Kara and Kon once spent an evening trying different colors and models to see which ones made them feel slightly tipsy, and which made them feel blackout drunk.
Kryptonians can be weird in so many ways. Letâs have some fun with it!

Jonathan Kent headcanonsâ¨
to be fair some of these are for all kryptonians but i wanted to talk about him exclusively because i love him
He has a lot of behaviours/habits that do look weird, which is strange on itself because heâs been raised as a human and his dad was raised as a human, it just seems to come naturally.
Despite not acting completely human, he can read social cues and facial expressions really well even without his super senses.
The glasses: why are they a good disguise? My personal opinion is that kryptonian eyes look completely alien and unique. Not only do they have a colour thatâs too intense to be real, their pupils are not black- theyâre a lighter tone than their irises. So like, the glasses drive attention away and probably have some sort of film that helps conceal them.
He canât tan much. As a kid he was pale as a ghost but as he grew up he could get a bit more melanin, tho never too much. Which is funny bc I think Clark does have a good tan.
Something about how kryptonians look makes you feel unsettled after you look at them long enough, and if you stare for quite a bit youâll inevitably think of the uncanny valley effect. They look human enough to be very convincing, but theyâre too perfect and flawless.
Jonâs half ân half but he still looks more kryptonian than human, heâs a mini Clark after all.
If you asked me to design him all grown up I would actually make him shorter- mostly bc I think itâd be hilarious for ppl to underestimate him. Imagine how many idiots would overlook this pretty boy only to be hit in the face with the fact heâs kryptonian. Lots of wasted comedy right there.
He has no fashion sense. Iâm sorry but itâs true and you know it.
His childhood hero crush was definitely Nightwing.
Growing up is realising his (Nightwingâs) little brotherâs much cuter.
Heâs indeed a ray of sunshine, but heâs also a sarcastic and problematic little shit as product of hanging around the Wayne kids far too much.
Iâve probably mentioned this in one of my previous posts but he has a room of his own in Wayne manor ever since he started being bffs with Damian. he prefers to sleep with Damian now but itâs still there.
Heâs probably the only person brave enough to call Bruce uncle when he was a kid.
Heâs diagnosed with ADHD but itâs actually just his half alien brain working differently/faster than a humanâs, which makes it harder to focus since humans do things too slow in comparison.
Once he decides heâs your friend youâre never getting rid of him.
the age up never happened itâs true iâm actually DC

hc that Kryptonian names are kind of like true names so even though Clark grew up never hearing Kal-El until he was an adult, the second someone uses it on him he twitches and instinctively leans in a little. over time, the response gets easier to ignore, but thereâs still times when Bruce (or someone else?) uses it and it just kind of. snaps his attention back over to them, Clark falling away from Kal as instinct fires at the back of his mind, hey thatâs my name, why are you using it?

Kinktober day 26
Conner Kent + Shower Sex
This is a part 2 kinda of the Conner prompt from last year, which you can read here. Ive been extremely busy these past few days, so I havenât had much time to write. Hope itâs still enjoyable though. Atlantean reader yippee.
2024 kinktober masterlist
Luckily after getting you back to a more present mental state, and after milking Conner like the bull he was, the two of you finally wrapped up the mission for now. You would have to share why the mission was cut short, but you both silently agreed not to share the exact details of what had happened.
The two of you were close enough to where you lived that you could fly there, with you being carried in Conners arms since you still felt quite weak. You could feel Conner shuddering the entire time, his pupils still blown wide as you caught him inhaling your scent every now and then. It shouldnât have shocked you that he was still hard, even after all that, being kryptonian and all.
You lived away from most people, in a comfortably big home made by your mother and father and with the assistance of your extended family, giving your home clear inspiration from their different cultures. Of course, the home was very close to the ocean, on a private island that left you two by yourselves.
Conner seemed to hesitate at the door as you started pulling your cum soaked armour off, throwing it to the ground to clean later, since getting all that spend of his out of it would be a longer process. He may have just covered you in so much of his own spend, but seeing you strip naked got him flustered.
With a goodnatured roll of your eyes, you gave the front of his suit a pull with your mental powers, just to get him to snap out of that flushed state hed put himself in. With a âcome hitherâ motion of your finger, you made your way into your bathroom.
It was a very large bathroom, with a built-in pool that could fit a couple of people. It wasnât really a pool made for swimming, it was more the type you sat in to just cool down from the day. There was a shower too obviously, one you turned on and stepped into.
Conner finally seemed to have caught up, the half kryptonian stumbling over his own feet as he kicked off what remained of his suit as he grabbed onto the doorway, his eyes looking as hungry as back in the cave, if not more. Little seemed to be needed to get blood pumping for Conner, as he was still so hard.
âHow many rounds can you even goâ you snickered, giving his hard dick a small tap as Conner stepped up behind you, the kryptonian jolting and groaning as his almost painful looking hard-on twitched from the small touch.
Your time together in the cave had left you wrung out in your own way. You were half hard, but it wasnât enough for you to grab at it and jerk it into fullness. Instead, you just turned around to face Conner and wrap both your hands around his drooling length. The noises he let out sounded almost painful, Conner placing his hands on either side of you against the wall behind you.
Conner groaned, bucking his hips in short quick movements, his head ducking down to press his face against your neck. You could feel his tongue lapping at your skin, Conner huffing at the scent you carried, a strong mixture of your sweat and musk from being out in the desert, but also the thick layer of his own cum, it was driving him mad.
âWoah there, calm downâ you laughed out, shocked at Conners sudden desperate huffing and licking, his tongue and lips exploring down your chest to try and lick up all the taste on your skin before the water of the shower washed it all away.
You almost jumped as he came, spilling all over your abdomen, still shocked at just how much he could make in one go, and the fact that Conner kept rocking his hips desperately for more. There would be no surprise if Conner wanted to stand here for hours, just milking himself with your hands and licking at your skin since his libido clearly could keep up with that, but even you had limits.
After getting covered in at least three more loads, and having Conner licking and huffing at your armpit, you decided enough was enough. Even if his needy whines and hungry whimpers made you almost reconsider, but you truly needed a shower.
In the end, you settled with letting Conner grind up against you as you scrubbed yourself, and him, clean. He didnât even seem to care about the small jokes you made about him being a dog, Conner instead giving a small breathless woof in response.
Conner seemed almost to be floating somewhere else as you pulled the two of you out of the shower, your partner, maybe lover? Leaning into your hands as you tried to dry him off with a towel. Normally you liked to float in the pool after a bath, but seeing the look in Conners eyes you decided you two just needed to go down.
And yeah, you knew all the Atlantean jokes, and yeah, you had a waterbed you preferred more. But Conner seemed more comfortable in your actual surface bed, which was covered in breathy yet sturdy fabrics you got from your mother and aunts. Or maybe it was the fact that you mainly used this bed to jerk off and your scent had soaked into it.
At least Conner liked it, as he stuffed his face into the pillows and inhale loudly before settling down. You knew kryptonians made noises that you werenât able to hear, but you were partly convinced you could hear his purr as you laid down beside him, Conner tucking himself against your side to keep huffing at your now much cleaner chest.
It was⌠kinda cute in a way. It wasnât the weirdest thing youâd ever seen or experienced, and you liked Conner too much to let something like this weird you out. You needed to find a way to deal with the fact that he seemed to not have a limit to his libido⌠but that could wait for another day.

The batkids think the alias "Nightwing" is a reference to Batman, being the bat the flying creature of the night. Clark is very much offended when he hears about this.
#probably ooc#mix of fanon and headcanon#tbh I don't know how clark would feel about someone assuming that about nightwing#I feel like only clark (canon) and the titans (hc as far as I know) would know the true origin of nightwing#the batfam is left out of the loop#you could say maybe tim and damian find out about it later through kon and jon#but if they don't ask (and would have no reason to if they don't know nightwing is from a kryptonian legend)#then I doubt kon or jon would say anything (that is assuming that they know anything about nightwing and flamebird)#of course jimmy olson could know too since he was the first flamebird#but we're mostly talking about people who are close to dick grayson here#dick grayson#nightwing#clark kent#superman#batfam#batkids#headcanon

The Intern: Outreach Gala
Another uneventful day for Gotham's environmental intern...
Prequel: Death of a family
The Intern: Day one
The Intern: The Laughing Fish
The Intern: Busy Work
The Intern: Outreach Gala
The Intern: Visiting an old friend
The Intern: Chemical Valley
The Intern: Billionaire Boys Club
Gotham's public library appears unrecognizable under the cloak of night. Broad leaves shroud the outside exterior of the Gothic pillars while ivy cascades down the large door frames. Harris raises an eyebrow.
"How many forests do you think Wayne destroyed in his quest to save the planet?" He questions with a smirk.
Each grey hair is perfectly gelled out of his face. Ditching his glasses for the occasion, Dr. Harris may actually care about tonight's guests. The bouncer outside the door seemed to think the dress code was not a laughing matter.
Taking his extended arm, I roll my eyes. The security guy nods to the two of us as we walk through the door.
"Professor, if you keep saying things like that Gordon's going to question your stances on Gotham's resident Eco-terrorist. " I whisper with a smile. "....but at least 12."
Thanks to the joint collaboration between Wayne Industries, Goth-corp, and the Gotham Department of Environmental Protection. Gotham City is hosting its first Environmental Outreach Gala for the nearby tri-state area. Unfortunately for me, they saddled the newest intern to do all the heavy lifting. Young joints and all that jazz. At least I got an invite. The invites ran out before the IT guy could get one. Poor Eddie.
My heart flutters a little bit as a realization hits me. Iâm actually here⌠surrounded by giants in clean energy and the scientific community alike. Award-winning journalists... All for the future of our planet. Passing my reflection, I smile thinking of how far Iâve come from that little river rat back at home.
A figure in the corner of my eye draws my thoughts away from the Grandma debrief. Dick Grayson, the Billionaireâs son, charms the group of ladies by his side. I take a mental note to find time to talk to him when there isnât such a big crowd. It's been a long time since we last spoke.
The walls echo with the idle chatter coming from the rich socialites of Gotham. Waiters in tuxedos maneuver silently with a tray of champagne flutes in each hand. Considering, that most environmental professionals wear cargo pants from the early 2000s to work... the dress code was definitely a choice. I scan the room for familiar faces. Gordon flashes me a smile from across the room. I nod back. The Mayor works his way around the room with a large smile. It must be an election year.
My throat gets tight. I'm not ready for this. Looking to my right, I find that Dr. Harris has vanished into the crowd.
"Y/N L/N?" A voice calls distracting me from my nerves.
A well-dressed man strolls over. Something about him puts me on edge. Maybe it's his wicked smile or the large emerald ring on his outstretched hand. He walks with an easy air of confidence.
"Lex Luthor."
My heart does a little tap dance in my chest. The tight fabric of my rental dress makes it hard to breathe. I shake his hand politely. The party-goers go quiet around us. From the corner of my eye, Lois Lane, an investigative reporter from Metropolis, shoves through the crowd. So much for being a fly on the wall.
"I recently worked with a Professor of yours. She had a lot to say about your graduate proposal."
This cannot be happening. Memories of those long fights in the lab flash in the back of my mind. Mr. Luthor's cat-like gaze observes my reaction curiously.
I cover my face in embarrassment. That woman deserves hate mail. I could have at least been asked to type or spell-check it beforehand.
"To be frank, I originally chose the topic to get a rise outta her. Dr. Hendrix had me doing dishes for 3 weeks straight after I accidentally messed up a sample, so I wrote a proposal I knew she wouldn't like."
When I finally uncover my face, Luthor stares down at me with an amused grin.
"Even so. I'd like to discuss potential funding opportunities in Metropolis. If this is something you would think up out of boredom, I'd love to see what you can do when you put your mind to it."
That brings a smile to my face.
"Really? Everyone who I've brought it up to has been apprehensive about researching Kryptionian radiation.
"We need more scientists to ask questions Ms. L/N. Even the ones, that people don't want to know the answer to. "
The sullen green glow draws my eye once again to Mr. Luthor's ring finger... Wait, that's not an emerald. That's Kryptonite.
"Is this a personal interest of yours?" I ask slowly glancing between his eyes and his ring.
"In some ways."
An unspoken conversation occurs when he notices my acknowledgement of his strange choice of jewelry. The silence only creates more questions. Why would you wear something you know is irradiated?
"I hope to hear from you soon." Mr. Luthor concludes after handing me a business card, "There is always a spot at Lexcorp for a future scientist with your talents."
I stand there in silence watching him leave. The sleek modern design of the card lists only the bare essentials: his name, office address, and contact information in silver lettering.
Four hours ago, I was hauling boxes for the decorating committee. Huh. A nearby waiter offers a champagne flute from the tray. Respectfully, I turn them down. This dress costs more than my rent.
âOh no. Thank you. I am⌠working.â
"Does work-life balance not apply to interns?â A voice interrupts.
I try not to roll my eyes at the "intern" comment. The constant reminders of my status are getting old. Starting at his perfectly buffed dress shoes, my gaze drags along the fabric of his black designer suit. Dick Grayson sure does like to make an entrance. With his dark curls and friendly blue eyes, his familiar smile knocks over my defenses. Sipping on his drink, he waits for my response with a teasing grin. His energy is contiguous. I ignore his question to ask my own instead.
âHas anyone told you that you tend to appear out of nowhere?â
His striking eyes light up with a mischievous glint.
âYou have no idea.â He laughs, "It's nice to see you back in Gotham. It's been a long time."
"It has. From the rumors, you have been up to quite a bit of trouble." I joke gesturing to the envious eyes from across the room.
He raises a curious eyebrow.
âGood things I hope?â
Glancing around the room, I ignore the dozen eyes staring daggers in my direction. Academia can be such a bitch.
âNothing too crazy: a few murders, unfounded accusations, and you might be an alien?â
Dick grimaces while tilting his head ever so slightly. He swirls his drink, yet doesn't take a sip.
âSounds about right. Anything you believe? â
I pause... Do I play coy?
âIâm not sure an alien could do a quadruple summersault.â
Something flashes in his eyes that I donât quite understand. For a moment, I wonder if I should have held my tongue. His suspicion morphs into the first genuine smile I've seen all evening.
âYouâve kept tabs on me Y/N.â
Before I can respond, a scream causes the ballroom to descend into chaos. Vines shoot out from under the floorboards while the native plants start attacking the guest. A woman with flaming red hair paces the floor. Her vines wrap around each person one by oneâŚ. A thorny bush springs out of a fallen leaf snagging my delicate rental dress.
Dammit Pamela. We talked about this.
Glancing at the bartender's horrified expression, I frown.
âI change my mind. Iâll have that drink now.â

Slightly enamoured by the idea that Bruce leaves Clark secret, romantic messages microscopically encoded in the punctuation of reports he gives him, under the pretense of Clark checking them over.
#I can not at the moment tell you what comic this was. Or even if this is something that I maybe hallucinated (lol tragic)#But. Superman once read microdots that looked like punctuation but contained other text#If I ever find what that was about so will you but until then#I thought this was just as cute as learning Kryptonian/another element of their ways of knowing each other#made myself gag a little at that (warning: immature)#shrugs#batman#superman#superbat#bruce wayne#clark kent#superman comics#superbat headcanons#my headcanons

Kryptonian Headcanons//Theories #2:
Kryptonians can Photosynthesise
so we all know superman gets his powers from the sun right
some writers (and i agree) say he doesn't need to eat or sleep and such, but does anyway because he was raised human
so this is basically confirmed canon to me: the dude eats sunlight.
i also think he can "breathe through his skin", but I haven't elaborated on that yet.
the only hole in this theory so far is whether or not he can survive without water and why, cuz for all of this series I've been taking examples from real animals and so far science doesn't know any that can do that.
maybe he doesn't need to drink it, and his body can absorb it through his skin cells like anaerobic respiration idk
if you have any additions or questions or theories, feel free to comment or reblog!

DC Headcanons #1
Kryptonian's have fangs, not like smexy lil skinny vampire teeth- I mean FANGS which is such a contrast considering all of them (except kara, she's a menace, whom we love) are such soft sweethearts-
But even in the most friendly grin there they are front and center a reminder this is an apex predator who could very well rip your throat out.
AKA- While humans were endurance hunters, kryptonians for ambush and brute force hunters- and it shows even in their "modern" genetics.

It's a minor pet peeve of mine when somehow de-powered Clark (usually via red sun radiation) is portrayed as just being a regular human. He's not.
Kryptonians are aliens, and logically, for Clark to be able to do all that he does under a yellow sun, Kryptonians should be able to do something similar (though far less powerful) under a red sun too. Why would Clark be able to take in energy from the sun if Kryptonians didn't do the same on Krypton?
A kryptonian under a red sun (or depowered Clark) should still have keener senses than a human and be able to see in more wavelengths; maybe still able to move a little bit faster than a human could or be a little bit stronger. Be more durable than a human too. The mechanism for heat vision would still be there, just less powerful (maybe emits closer to infrared?) Maybe a Kryptonian under a red sun can't fly, but they can glide/hover/jump a lot further.
Anyway, the point is: Clark's an alien. Even without his powers, he's still an alien.

Ok but imagine young Clark coming into his super-hypnotism powers as a young kid and Martha Kent is not having it because you can only argue with your two-year-old so much if they can sweet talk you into anything they want.
She figures out really fast that it's all in the inhuman eyes - and really, she should've known that gorgeous shade of blue was too good to be true - so when Clark gets in a fit and she just knows he's going to make a demand, she avoids direct eye contact with her sweet little angel. She knows he's not doing it on purpose, he's just a little kid, after all.
But then, he has to go to school, and Martha knows Clark won't do it on purpose, but her little baby is a charmspeaker and is accidentally going to manipulate the entire world around him into whatever he thinks he wants and that's just not going to fly!
So, Martha experiments a little. The next time they go into town for the day, Martha hands Clark a tiny pair of sunglasses to wear all day to see if lenses even make a difference. It's not that he's never worn them before, but she needs to know if he can influence anyone if he's not looking directly into their eyes. After a day of errands and several pleading looks and what are certainly puppy eyes from Clark from behind tinted lenses to no avail, Martha has her answer.
Their last stop of the day is an antique shop on Main. Martha greets the man at the counter like you only can in a small town and asks if he has any supplies of old glasses they can rifle through for Clark, just in the meantime until they can get his eyes checked. Just to limp along. It's a lie, Clark doesn't need a prescription. But in a box of used glasses, there's always the chance Martha will find what she needs.
Gary (that's his name) points her toward a dresser down the room and tells her there's a drawer filled with costume glasses and the like. They find a tiny pair of glasses for Clark and he complains at first that the world "looks funny" but then he blinks twice and looks around again and, with a grin, says "Never mind - I like them, can I keep them?"
And that's how Clark Kent starts wearing glasses.
As he gets older, continuing to grow up and especially while he's still shorter than his ma he'll occasionally glare up at her from over his lenses petulantly as he tries to get his way and it brings a whole new weight to the phrase "Don't give me that look, now, son," because Clark knows that she means not to use his Kryptonian eyes on her to get his way. It's not a secret any more than Clark being an alien is a secret that Clark can get people to do what he wants. But the few times he's done it have resulted in the biggest groundings of his entire life and more chores than he's ever wanted to do. And not just manual labor chores, but the kind of chores ma knows he doesn't like, because a ma always knows how to make a chore a chore.
In high school, for all that Clark is not very popular and has that whole quiet nerd persona going for him, he has that cute kid with the glasses Kryptonian Gaze⢠down to a seductive art and he's not even trying. Because. Hello? B-i-o-l-o-g-y. So, yeah. That over-the-glasses glance from across the room? It's a whole thing and lots of girls (and guys?) are super confused by why they suddenly think Clark Kent might be super hot. Then when they look again but it's just Clark sitting there with his normal glasses again? They're not so sure...
He doesn't like to use his super-hypnotism because it feels like cheating, but depending on the circumstance he will. It's not that different than using his other abilities after all, right? If it's for the right reasons, is it?
While he's working at the Daily Planet, he'll use it on occasion to push his advantage for a story for that one extra detail, to get access to a room he might not have otherwise, to sneak into places he might not have, to make people forget his face, his name, their conversation if it was a particularly sketchy place... it's all a simple tilt down of the chin so he can look people straight in the eyes over the rim of his glasses and ask a pointed question or say something or suggest something and then....
As Superman it's different. As Superman, he never wears his glasses. He's all heat vision and x-ray vision, micro and macro vision. As Superman, he does what he needs to to save people. Sometimes that's telling someone to get to safety or go home, call 9-1-1, run, stay here, be quiet.. it's a hundred things as Superman. Sometimes it's asking guards for passcodes or entrance, sometimes it's to turn off surveillance altogether. Superman does what he has to do.

the geoff retcon is just so poorly done in so many ways. when i think abt it i just rly do have to roll my eyes because it wouldn't even be that hard to be like "actually, paul westfield was duped by agenda under orders from the contessa" and have that as the explanation for the introduction of luthor dna instead of paul westfield's, if you MUST include it. like that way it doesn't blatantly contradict the entire luthor plotline with mae in reign of the supermen, and it could've been a reveal to luthor himself, too. that couldve been fascinating ESPECIALLY in the context of lex having baby lena in that era, until the y2k event.
but fuckign. why do that when we can directly contradict kon's entire origin story which explicitly states he escaped before they were able to put control codes in his head. and when we can also just completely dismiss the ethics of "they [wanted to] put control codes in his head" in favor of "what if... some genes... make you BAD..." which is just very thinly veiled eugenics that the narrative entertains, for some reason. frankly, imo, lex was far more interesting as a character in every plot other than this, because he became so one-dimensionally evil in a very boring stock "manipulative" way. and we didn't even get a single mention of lena in all of his "my son" bullshit. using the contessa wouldve been such an easy and perfect way to tie it all together!!!! but sure. why do anything like that, right geoff.
#rimi talks#LIKE... retconning the contessa to have had more of a hand in cadmus via the agenda would've been a WAY better retcon if you MUST retcon it#it would have been so much more cohesive. the narrative couldve had something to actually say#tbh the more i toy with this version of events i think thats my preferred interpretation headcanon-wise#kon is a kryptonian clone with a very small amount of human dna#which he originally thought came from westfield but turned out came from luthor bc of a scheme of the contessa's that was never realized#there. boom. done. much more elegantly than whatever the FUCK geoff was doing in tt03.#it just fits!!!! you can bring up lena (lex's daughter) AND lena (lex's sister) and lori from smallville this way#without needing to undermine the whole fact that lex WAS genuinely initially blindsided by cadmus creating a superboy#like he's not some perfect scheming mastermind 24/7. he can be taken aback. it makes it boring to be like oh he knew all along imo#also i just think keeping westfield in kon's history is important. he already had one ''i hate this guy'' dna donor reveal#making it two is actually kinda funny. like oh great instead of this shitty guy its this SHITTIER guy :/#kon

Dick grayson x male reader (preferably YJ verse)
Reader is Clark's bio son and their both hopelessly in love but reader is scared of dicks dating history and how close he's with all his exes and he doesn't want to get burned in the process
Dick Grayson x kryptonian male reader
Headcanons
Featuring some of my kryptonian headcanons.
You and Dick would be close even before the young justice team was made, since Bruce and Clark worked side by side so much as you were growing up. That results in you two knowing each other pretty well.
You would both be crushing on one another, but neither of you would confess or think the other feels the same way. Dick would the one to go off and date other people whilst you just stayed single and nursed what you thought was your one-sided crush.
Clark would have realized very early on how you were feeling for Dick, and he would tease you good naturedly about how you keep purring when your around him, saying its good he cant hear those frequencies or dick would have known immediately too.
You bring kryptonian makes you one of the teamâs power houses, since you pack a major punch and other very strong powers. This results in you also looking out for a lot of the other team members just in case.
Youâve taken many hits for Dick over the years, since you on instinct keep a closer eye on him than everyone else. Itâs not on purpose, you just do.
When Conner shows up, you donât turn him away like others and treat him like a fellow kryptonian even if your dad is having some issues with being cloned. You donât blame Conner for being created, and you just want to help out.
This leads to you and Conner getting close, and you teaching him about the weird quirks that come with being part Kryptonian. He almost exposes you when he asks why you purr so much around Dick, but you quickly shut him up.
Pretty much everyone can tell Dick is just as head over heels for you in return, itâs probably why some of his past relationships ended. I could imagine his partners realizing he was pining hard for you, which lead to a breakup for the most part.
Dick would think you donât want a relationship in general since youâve never been in a relationship with anyone, but everyone knows its because you pine after him too.
You two circling eachother like a pair of peacocks has been the cause of many tired conversations between your dads or your teammates. Bruce and Clark have known for years that you two like each other, but they also donât want to push either of you to confess if you arent ready.
Your teammates have bets on how long its gonna take, Roy is the winner right now, since the bet was made years ago and he bet it would take you guys years, whilst the others said months or a year max.
You guys âhang outâ all the time, but its very much just dates without you guys admitting it is. Like going out to eat together, going to the movies, or you flying around with him in your arms just for fun.
You guys end up kissing when youâve been hit with a pretty strong dose of kryptonite, and you were loopy and weak. You werenât sure you would make it out, so you kiss him.
Of course, you survive, and try to ignore that anything actually happened since you still think he doesnât like you in return, and you fear you might have ruined your friendship.
It doesnât help that all his exes are so attractive and skilled that it makes you insecure. Dick isnât doing well with you avoiding him, as you go as far as using your super hearing to avoid him.
It ends up being Wally or Conner who explains to Dick that you feel insecure and like you wonât be able to meet his standards, which Dick doesnât understand because he thinks your so far out of his league.
He would want to talk to you, but again, youâre avoiding him. Dick ends up getting the help from teammates and probably even Clark as you canât outfly your dad like you can some of the others.
Finally, you two get to talk it all through, tears or shed, both sad tears and happy tears. You both feel so stupid cuz youâve liked each other for years, but neither of you realized or confessed.
It takes a while after you start dating for you not to feel insecure or like you canât meet some invisible standard, but Dick being so insanely smitten as he is helps quite a lot.
Your teammates have definitely joked that Dick would kiss the very ground you walk on if you asked, not that you wouldnât do the same though.
You two are so cute together its almost sickening honestly. Always near eachother, holding hands, cuddling, kissing. The amount of flirting you do over comms now that you are together is unbelievable.
Youâre very happy, though the insecurity does pop up at times. Your families and friends are happy you two finally confessed too. And Roy won the bet and became a richer man.
