#like I love Damian retiring early

[starlooove]

I think Damian becoming a medic would be so cool

[mysterycitrus]

recently finished batgirl 2000 and i'm feeling Insane about her. do you have any opinions on the run? the character herself?

bro cass cain and batgirl 2000 are litchrally on my mind 24/7 and the more i think about her the more unhinged i become. how perfectly she mirrors bruce’s own internal struggle. her love for all things living. her desire to change. her disconnection from everyone in her life by speaking a language only her mother knows. her belief in the good. her absolute self-conviction and confidence to the detriment of her own life. the roses. wow wow wow

the more i read the more ive completely lost patience with comic fans who totally ignore or rebuke her as a character in comparison to bruce’s other kids. talking about the male robins with her noticeably absent is an immediate close tab. “she’s boring” “she’s underdeveloped” “she’s not as interesting” just tells me they’ve never actually read her run, or engaged with her character in good faith. her total exclusion from fan content about the waynes, her absence in fanfic, her reduction to a smiling, placid little girl who isn’t allowed a dissenting opinion. she has a single comic run from the early aughts that’s better than anything published this decade please be so incredibly serious!!!

she’s the most like bruce by any metric. dick understands bruce better than anyone, but cass is bruce, for both the good and bad. he sees her commitment to giving everyone a chance, sees her devotion to life, and is both awed and horrified. there’s a bit outta persephone that i still think about a lot:

Cassandra replies: “I was born into violence. Not to this life, but something worse. I was made to hurt people. I chose differently. I changed the path and found this. This new life, new purpose, new home.” She taps the symbol on her chest. “This, I wear to help people. To protect them. To start each day better, and brighter. The way I grew up… it was isolated, and lonely. I spoke a language no one else understood. There was no kindness because a weapon is to be used. Used to hurt, and cut, and kill. Who cares what a tool thinks?”

in my mind she is thee only choice for batman if bruce retires — for literally anyone else it’d just be character regression. dick would rather kill himself. the cowl would kill tim. jason needs to grow his own morals. damian works better as a narrative foil by attaining his own mantle, his own destiny. if nightwing is what batman could never be, then cass is what batman should be. she cares about the mantle, and has made it her own. she embodies all of bruce’s worst habits, but overcomes them. she is what gotham truly needs.

Pairing: Husband!Damian Wayne x Wife!Reader

Word count: 1.2k

Warning: reader has bad thought about her marriage with Damian, maybe slight cursing, marriage problems? Not proofread

(Requested!)

He doesn’t love you.

That’s why he doesn’t wear his ring as often anymore.

He found someone else that’s why he’s so distant with you now.

A groan leaves past your lips, fixing your position on your bed, moving from your side to laying on your back. Eyes adjusting to the dark as you stare up at the white ceiling. Another thoughtful night, ones that you hated the most were also the ones where Damian spends most of the night hours cooped up in his study hall—finishing up paper for Wayne Enterprises. It seems that all he’s been doing since Bruce passed it down to him after the old man’s retirement.

You really couldn’t blame anyone, that’s what owning a big company is about, but you would have never thought that it would take time away from each other. It’s a selfish thought, but all you really want to do is spend time with your husband. Sometimes it feels like he’s doing it to get away from you. That’s what you think.

Maybe confronting him would put you at ease for a while. You debated whether or not you should go now or wait until he wasn’t busy burying his nose in his paperwork, but with much arguing with yourself and your thoughts you came to a conclusion to just get up and go ask.

“Oh what the hell”

The master bed creeks slightly as you get up and slide yourself up. Slipping your feet into your fluffy slippers that were always placed beside your side of the bed, you push yourself up from the mattress. You pick up a thinner blanket that was draped over a chair in your room and draped it over your shoulders before leave to go find Damian. Which wasn’t very hard to find considering he’s been in his study, which was Bruce’s old study, since early this afternoon.

Now it’s past midnight, and you are in front of the door of the room, hand hovering over the door knob wondering if it was the right time to talk about it. With a soft sigh you grasp the knob gently pushing the door open as you walk in. Your eyes catch a glimpse of Damian’s figure hunched over his desk scribbling down on paper as quickly as he can.

“Damian?” You call out, the sound of pen against paper stops as Damian’s eyes catch yours humming at you indicating you’ve got his attention. “You should come to bed” you bite back your tongue “it’s late” Damian smiles at you, a very genuine one

“in a minute. I’m almost done here. Carry on and go back to sleep Habibti'' well, He didn’t exactly specify that you had to go back to your room and sleep, so it caught him by surprise when he catches you getting you comfortable on the big L shape couch in the room that sets a few feet away from his desk. He can’t help but chuckle. “What are you doing?”

He questions and you shrug innocently “you said I should go back to sleep so that’s what I’m doing. Wake me up when you’re finished so we can go back to our bedroom. Together” you close your eyes, and listen as the sound of pen and paper continue. But you can’t fall back asleep—the sound has nothing to do with it, you actually enjoy the sound but the thoughts are what keep you awake. Troubling you as you lay on your back, eyes wide open as you stare up at the ceiling much like earlier.

Too deep in thought you never hear the sounds stop, the chair squeaking against the wooden floor as Damian gets up from his seat, his footsteps quiet. You don’t notice him until he’s sitting right beside your head, his warm hand gently creasing down your cheek.

“What seems to be troubling you, zawjati?” You stay quiet for a moment before answering

“it’s Nothing”

“it’s clearly something if it’s keeping you up at this hour” he says, staring down at your lying form. You grab hold of his hand—keeping it from creasing your face any further. You pull yourself up so your back is fully up against the cushions, knees pulled up against your chest. Damian watches your every move closely. You keep your eyes low—away from his gaze as you bite the side of your cheek.

“Do….” You sigh out for what seemed to be the nth time today. Finally, you have the courage to look him in the eye “Do you still love me?” Searching, your eyes linger in his eyes for a sign. But you couldn’t find anything, but then again he was always good at hiding his emotions for people—even from you. The silence from him gave you a bad feeling as tears were pricking at the corner of your eyes—you don’t have the courage to look him in the eyes anymore “Seems like I’ve got my answer then huh'' Damian doesn’t register anything until your shuffling yourself off from the couch. He’s quick to reach out to you before you can take another step away from him, pulling you back down as you sit beside him—close with your hips touching. He starts to wipe the tears that threaten to fall down your cheek.

“Where on earth did you get that idea from?” He questions, you shrug your lips turning into a straight as you answer

“It doesn’t matter—“

“it does if these thoughts are poisoning yours” he gently taps against your forehead. You nod slowly, throat dry as you try to explain.

“you’ve been so distant— and I know it’s because of work but sometimes it feels like it’s not” he doesn’t interrupt—no matter how many times he wants to deny it, it’s best to hear you out first. As you continue his strong arm wraps around your shoulder softly—bringing you closer to his side, his free arm reaching over and placing your head on his shoulder, you don’t fight it back as you make yourself comfortable “it’s selfish I know but—I don’t know. I barely see you anymore. It’s frustrating” by the end of it you're fidgeting around with his fingers on your lap.

Damian’s head is laying on top of yours “wanting my love is never selfish” he speaks up “I’m sorry for neglecting my duties as your husband”

You shake your head “you don’t have to apologize, I should be the one apologizing seeing as I was the one that jumped to conclusions”

Damian grips your hand tightly— but not too tight where it hurts. “You should have said something, if I had known sooner I would have pushed my work aside and came to your aid” now you were starting to feel bad—it was clear it wasn’t his intention to do so but you couldn’t help it.

Your groans had Damian staring at you as you laid your head in your hands “Now I feel bad” there’s a soft gaze in his eyes

“Don’t be” Damian gets up from his spot beside you and grasps your hand in his—thumb grazing over your knuckles “come, let’s go to bed shall we? I believe I have a tired wife who needs her beauty sleep?” Rolling your eyes he pulls you to your feet and before you knew it you were yelping as he lifted you up in the air as carried you in a bridal position. “I will move my plans so that I can spend the next few days with you, zawjati” he leans his head done and kisses your forehead “how does that sound’ giving him a soft smile your response

“I actually like the sound of that”

Headcanon: Bruce adopting a civilian teenage girl.

I always thought she’d have ties to Bruce one way or another - either through her single-parent household (her mom works for him) or she has an internship at Wayne Enterprises. In the case of an internship, she’s eager to work and learn but still manages to keep things young and fun. 

Loves Alfred because wow, its her first time meeting a Brit and what kind of name is Pennyworth? I personally feel like she'd be closest to Alfred, she's most comfortable with him. Say she gets arrested/stuck at GCPD...she is NOT calling Bruce for help. She's calling Alfred and begging him to come get her and to not tell Bruce. She wakes up early to help Alfred in the kitchen, she's following him around and pestering him with questions. As an inside joke, she's bringing him a penny and some other thoughtful gift for his birthday. Because...Pennyworth.

Oh, she REFUSES to go to Gotham Academy, she is a P.S. 181 girl through and through. Why would she choose to be around those stuffy, asshole, rich kids anyway? She has all she needs at her public school: all of her friends are there, she's Cheer/Dance Capitan, she receives every party invite known to man...what could Gotham Academy possibly give her besides a complex and a reason to see a psychotherapist? Yeah, no fucking thanks. No fucking way.

The Wayne Manor... She remembers the drive up there and how she was...floored by how nice and vintage and regal and almost scary the place looked. So expensive, how could anyone feel like it was home. She's greeted outside by Bruce and Damian - Bruce wears a smile, Damian is indifferent. She is lost for words pretty often - the tall ceilings, the intimidating portraits...it's all so fancy and a far cry from the 2 bedroom apartment she shared with her mother.

Dinner that night was grand and boasted many guests - family and close friends, Bruce said. She meets Dick, he's charming, polite, and sinewy. Everyone is Gotham knows him, his tragic backstory. Then there's Barbara: she's kind, seems smart but maybe it's the glasses, and uses elbow crutches. Then there's Duke - he seems nervous but is happy to make her acquaintance. Tim has dark under eye circle, yawns a bit, but introduces himself and listens to her patiently. There's another girl who is the most excited at the table to meet her - her name is Stephanie. She smiles, shakes her hand at the speed of a humming bird, and asks a million questions. She only stops when Cass places a hand on her shoulder, she doesn't speak much (a fact Damian explains beforehand) but shakes her hand no less.

It's not until the following week that she meets Jason. She's lounging by the pool, magazine in hand as music plays from her bluetooth speaker when she sees him. He's flanked by the boys as they walk towards the basketball court, their competitive chatter fills the air. He's big - muscular and the tallest of the bunch. He spares a glance over his shoulder and she feels like her heart just stopped. He's beautiful. His eyes are narrowed and kinda intimidating, a shiny blue-green color. He doesn't look back again as they head to the court but just the one glance was enough for her.

Her friends at school know about Jason, they wanna see him for themselves. She begs and begs Bruce to allow her to have a sleepover with her 2 closest friends and after some convincing, he agrees. The girls spend most of the night swimming, baking cookies once Alfred retires from the kitchen, singing karaoke in her generously sized room. The highlight of the night comes when Jason come riding in on his motorcycle - they watch from the window as he dismounts. Strong hands pull his helmet off his head, broad sexy shoulder flex as he stows it away. The girls giggle and coo, mouths drop as they watch the big man walk towards the door. They're safe looking at him from this window they think, flirty compliments can't reach his ears from where they stood but suddenly he looks up, making full eye contact with her again. The girls drop down out of sight, gasping and giggling because of course, they'd get caught ogling.

The girls make comments about her having a "rich dad" when she comes to school with nicer shoes, an expensive backpack, etc. She hates it. "Bruce is not my father." She'll roll her eyes. Her friends ask if he'll adopt her, a topic she'd rather not broach. "No way, how can I marry Jason if we're related?" It's a joke she only...somewhat means and it makes her friends laugh and it practically erases the idea of her getting adopted from the conversation.

She has no clue about the Batfam - the whole vigilante thing. She's clueless but it's hard to believe. She makes these comments that has the fam clenching their holes in shock/fear/anticipation. "It's not like Batman's gonna save me" when she gets herself into a jam or is in need of intervention with schoolwork she cares none for. "Aww, you two are like Batman and Robin." Mockingly when the boys team up for a lame ass burn or zinger against her. "Red Hood is hotter than Nightwing." Overheard as she walks around the house, gabbing to her friends. There's been some close calls like her walking past the secret entrance to the cave right when Bruce, Damian, or Alfred step in or out of it. She doesn't understand the silence her jokes are met with sometimes but she just assumes money makes you a bit boring and stuffy. Just look at Damian.

She loves to read and she spends hours in the library though if Damian is in there, she avoids the place. One day, she has a coffee in hand and she's excited to sit on the plush chaise by the ladder and read that first edition Virginia Woolf she found. She opens the French doors, her feet moving forward before she stops in her tracks. There's Damian, legs crossed with a book splayed in his lap. She sighs, groaning inwardly because Virginia will have to wait. She turns to leave when Damian calls out to her. "You don't have to go." His voice still sounds so condescending but his face, when she turns to see him, his face holds none of that. He seems nice and honest. "You're not the most...welcoming presence in the house." She says, not moving from her spot. Damian sighs, closing his book and rising from his seat on a the davenport. "I know. But..." He doesn't finish the sentence, only waves around the library before walking past her. That was the start of a fairly interesting friendship for the two of them.

She takes the time to learn some ASL because she's under the impression that Cass is deaf or mute. She engages with Cass as much as she can, showing off the new words and phrases she's learned. She gets to be fairly good at it that she even considers taking the interpreter certification exam. So, you can imagine her surprise when, while on a hike, Cass responds to her signing with a full-fledged sentence. Then another one. And another one. Surprise isn't the word, neither is shock. But once she settles into the truth, the two break out into a fit of laughter.

Sneaking out of Wayne Manor is a bitch but she loves to do it! Sometimes she's grounded - the why is ever-changing - and sometimes, she knows Bruce and Alfred would hate her late night partying. She's opening her window and shimmying down a trellis as her friends wait outside of the manor gate off to the side and just out of sight. She hates hopping the gate, her hands are too precious for the scraping so for a few days she's been pushing a ladder closer and closer to the sweet spot of the gate. Sometimes she comes back to Bruce outside the front door in a robe with knitted brows and a set jaw, other times it's a silent treatment a t breakfast. She feels guilty sometimes, but mostly only when's he's caught. She wonders how they know, tells her friends there has to be a security camera. If only she knew.

man i see so many daniel and damian twin stories and like i dont mind them, read a couple rlly good ones too!! but its given me an idea

au where danny *is* an al-ghul wayne, but he doesn't know, bruce don't know, damian don't know. In the early days of their relationship, talia got pregnant and she was going to be sure her child was going to be *her* soldier, her loyal assassin, not ra's.

but ra finds out shortly after his birth and has him killed. distraught, talia is desperate and throws her barely dead child into the lazarus pits. the damage is healed, and the babe is revived with science/medical machinary right after. but she knows she cannot keep the child and in a final act of love/retribution, drops him off in secret on a plane with a social worker who'd been on vacation (or somth)

years later, at the end of their relationship, ra orders talia to re-enact that little 'plan' of hers and become pregnant for the league so that a new, powerful heir can be made and molded into his image. thus damian.

damian doesn't know he has a brother, and talia doesn't tell.

now thats just the backstory. what i want to do with this? *shenanigans*

so in the au danny has been able to see ghosts/spirits of the dead all his life, and bam, he dies and bam bam, phantom happens. after years and fall out with his parents, he decides to get away and choses to move to gotham, because of the known vigilantes so he can retire his own hero schtick and get a fkn break.

he looks a bit like damian, but noticeably older (bs dami is 12 and danny is 20), but enough that people just assume he's a new wayne or something. danny has no idea why people keeps giving him special treatment and is very confused

[eggplantwaffles]

i think a big problem with modern batfam comics is that they have so many characters that kinda just overlap- here’s my ideas for how to give each of them their own “niche” to make them unique. Some of this is canon or alluded to is some way- but a lot is just what i think makes sense for each character.

Bruce Wayne

Bruce retires, it’s the only way to give all his kids / kid adjacents their own chance to shine. i’m sure he grumbles about it and watches from the bat cave obsessively, but i’m the end he’s learned to trust the batfam and lets them take care of things.

Dick Grayson

I actually really like where Dick is at in comics right now, i mean it’s not perfect- but I like the idea of Nightwing being a “better” version of Batman for Blüdhaven. He leads the Titans, which are now on par pedigree wise with the Justice League, and as Dick Grayson he is an active member of the community in Blüdhaven, trying to use all his resources to help people. So basically not much changes here.

Barbara Gordon

This one’s easy, just make her Oracle all the time- in the most bad dads way possible. Give me paralyzed Barbara Gordon who has eyes and ears all over the world and is the center of ALL super hero activity. She leads the Birds of Prey, she’s in the ears of all the bats, she’s IT for the Justice League- she does all of it.

Jason Todd

I liked Jason’s character best when he serves as an antagonist. Jason goes back to being a crime lord, and we bring back his ideals of trying to control the crime as opposed to trying to stop it. Jason has good intentions, but he lacks the idealism of the other bats who are constantly trying to save the city without compromising any morals. I think that Jason often butts heads with Tim and Cass (mostly Cass due to her very strict no killing rule) but is mostly left alone by Steph and Damian, who are more willing to accept his methods even if they don’t love them.

Tim Drake

Tim should travel the world “conspiracy hunting,” kind of like how he took down the League of Assassins, except he probably chills out on the blowing up bases all around the world that might (definitely) have people inside. Tim is supposed to be the best detective of the Robins, so lean into that- I want globe trotting - mentally unwell - detective stories where Tim fights big secret organizations or takes down corrupt governments. He is also still apart of Young Justice, though they are all a bit older and are a less official group, the core four are still close and work together- they help keep Tim grounded and remember that he doesn’t have to do everything alone.

Stephanie Brown

I think Stephanie kind of separates herself from the batfamily after her time as Batgirl. I don’t mean that she give up fighting crime, or even gives up wearing the bat symbol, I just mean that she becomes a mostly solo act. Steph becomes Gothams main hero, she does normal vigilante stuff, patrolling the streets, saving the city, detective work, the typical bat stuff. But she’s far more connected to the people of Gotham than Batman ever was, stopping and talking to kids, handing out blankets to the homeless, doing cool flips and batarang trick shots for civilians passing by. Eventually she is the hero most Gothamites associate with their city, and she represents the good parts of Gotham- giving the people hope that they aren’t doomed to be consumed by the city, but that they will be stronger because of it. I also think that things are kinda awkward between her and the bats (except for Dick, Damian, and Barbara) and she tries to keep her distance a bit, considering she was kinda treated like shit as Spoiler and i think Steph deserves to be bitter about that, for a little bit at least.

Cass

Cass becomes Batman, but she operates globally. She’s not like early-Bruce batman who stayed in Gotham, she’s more similar to later batman. She’s in the league, she goes on funky missions to space or other dimensions sometimes, she fights the world ending threats that someone with no powers really should have no business fighting. She also works frequently with Tim and they do some fun little espionage stuff. And while she does return to Gotham, she’s mostly content to leave the city to Steph now- except for all the times she gets into fights with Jason, it bothers her that Steph rarely messes with his operation.

Damian

I really love the idea of Damian getting more into the magical part of DC, I think he should absolutely end up with a Justice League Dark team and learn to do cool magic shit. He goes on a training montage quest like Bruce did, except he’s learning all about magic and demons and cool stuff like that. He has cool magic swords and is sort of the connection between the more grounded part of the universe and the magic parts. He also does a fair bit of globe trotting, looking for ancient mystical artifacts or magical worlds and stuff like that.

Duke Thomas

Duke also mostly stays in Gotham, he’s kinda doing his own thing as The Signal- he still operates during the daytime meaning he doesn’t cross paths with Steph or Jason too often on patrol. There’s not much to change here because Duke is already unique in that he 1- operates during the day and 2- is the only meta-bat, so I don’t need to make a niche for him, DC just needs to use him more.

Random Stuff

- Duke is starting college and takes night classes at Gotham U, Steph is also still in college and is graduating soon

- Tim is either Red Robin, or operating under a new name (I think the Vulture or Condor would be kinda cool but idk)

- The Batfam does not get along like a real family, they are dramatic bitches who fight all the time and have cannot all be in the same room

- Damian and Steph are super close, she was the first person to insist on treating him like a child, which he hated but now that he’s older is grateful for (but he’ll never admit it)

- Damian also sees Dick as his father figure, Bruce is just kinda also there

- Bruce, Alfred, Damian, and Cass all live at the manor- but Damian and Cass are rarely there as they travel a lot and got shit to do

- Barbara lives in the clock tower, she technically lives alone but usually one of Cass, Dick, Dinah, or Helena will be crashing there

- Steph lives alone in the same house she grew up in, her Mom has moved to California or something for a fresh start as she is finally sober, but at this point Steph doesn’t need her. It’s very sad as Steph never truly had a mother, but she’s happy that Crystal is getting another chance away from Gotham.

- Duke swears he’s seen Jason at night classes at Gotham U, but Jason won’t admit it

- The only ones Jason talks to semi-frequently are Dick and Tim, the relationships are super rocky though. Dick sees Jason as his brother first, and since he’s in Blüdhaven he tries not to concern himself with Jason’s business. Tim and Jason do fight a bit but Tim is more lenient than Cass so he can tolerate Jason’s shit if he feels like it’s for the best.

.⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆.

Pair: Batsis!Fem OC x Adrien Agreste Summary: After his previous relationship, Adrien began to love a girl that's mysterious and cold-hearted who turns out to be his ex-girfriend's boyfriend's sister! Warning: Dick (28), Jason (24), Tim (20), Batsis (20) and Damian (17). Marinette (17) and Adrien (20). Yes, I've aged up Adrien just a little.

ADRIEN AGRESTE barely reminisce about his life, in fact, he hates doing it. He didn't like to stare into nowhere and thought about his mistakes, no, because he didn't like the feeling of regret. As a child hero, he made a lot mistakes, ones that would risk people's lives and he hated the feeling. He didn't want that feeling. Especially now, with the love of his life. (Y/N) (L/N).

The couple met in one of Adrien's adventure around Europe, after the defeat of Hawkmoth, the reveal of his partner who turned out to be his girlfriend, and then broke up with said girlfriend. Adrien decided to go on a trip around Europe to clear his mind where he met (Y/N) in London attending a meeting from her father's company.

They went on a date and kept in touch after that. (Y/N) moved to Paris after dating for two years, moving on from her life in Gotham where she retired her own vigilante act.

And now, here they are sitting in their home cuddling on the couch where (Y/N) gets a phone call.

Groaning, she didn't glance at the caller ID and answered the call. "Hello?"

"I had expected you to answer after ringing you five times"

"Damian?" she asks sitting up from the couch, "Isn't it early morning there?"

"No, I am in Paris visiting"

"What?! Where the hell are you and why haven't dad said anything?"

"I am here to visit someone. Not you"

(Y/N) deadpans and grumbles, "Don't fucking call me then to say your in France then tell me you ain't visiting"

There was silence before Damian mutters, "I just thought to let you know..."

"Dami... I'm not telling you to feel bad about this but you can't expect me to be nice when the last time you talked to me you told me you hated me being your sister just because-" she paused remembering that Adrien's listening to the conversation.

"Just because I quit" she finished quietly, "Goodbye Damian. Have fun in Paris"

As (Y/N) hangs up, Adrien placed kisses by her shoulder and neck relaxing his girlfriend.

"Who was that?" Adrien asks.

"It was my brother. My younger brother. He's in Paris" she mumbles into the blanket.

"And that's a problem why?"

"Because the last time we talked he told me he hated me... I quit a family tradition and he didn't take it nicely... because I'm technically consider his blood-sister"

Adrien sighs, even after all this years he still didn't know the full story of (Y/N)'s relationship with her family. He didn't bother pushing it because he loves her no matter what, and if telling the story hurts her he's not going to push it.

The next week, Adrien and (Y/N) made their way to his old high school for a little reunion. It's been a while since he's saw everyone especially since their so busy.

(Y/N) was talking to Juleka and Luka who just walked in when they hear a few gasps, looking over to where the crowd is looking they see Marinette and DAMIAN!

She grabs onto Adrien's arm who looked at the couple with wide eyes as well. "That's... that's Marinette"

"Marinette? As in your ex-girlfriend Marinette, who was your partner in crime?" (Y/N) whispers.

Adrien nods. "That's her with her new man"

Damian looks across the crowd when his eyes lands on his sister.

He blinked.

She blinked.

They both just blinked.

"Do you know her Dami?" Marinette asks in a soft tone.

"I... I- yes I do" he replied softly, "I'll be back Habibiti"

(Y/N) backed away slowly before walking away, Damian rushed towards her as he grabs her arm to somewhere private for them to talk. They stop at an empty classroom, awkward silence filled the air.

"I must apologize" Damian spoke quietly, "When you quit the team it completely threw me off guard. We've been fighting as a family for so long the fact that a missing sibling, partner would completely-"

"Dami" (Y/N) spoke quietly, "You've always knew I wouldn't be a vigilante for so long. I'm not Babs, Cass or Steph"

"But-"

"I'm the Wayne girl who settles down, who starts a family. I'm not the Wayne who fights behind the mask for eternity" she defends.

They both paused hearing movement from outside the room. Damian grabbed the nearest possible weapon with was a vase, while (Y/N) resorted to using her hands. In a count of three, the door was open to reveal the Wayne sibling's partners standing by the door. Who coincidentally are exes of each other as well.

"Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on?" Marinette asks, tilting her head in confusion.

(Y/n) glances at her brother who gave her a small shrug, Damian sighs. "Beloved, this is my older sister. (Y/n)"

"And this is the youngest of my brothers, Damian" she introduces to Adrien.

There was a pause.

The two exes blink at each other.

Then screamed, "WHAT!"

The Batfam and Bruce's love interests

Was just thinking about this recently. Particularly from stories that were written when they were set, rather than those written when Dick is 20, but set when he was 14, if you know what I mean.

Talia - I recall in the bronze age that Dick did not like her at all (to be fair, she was a-okay with him being kidnapped by her dad to manipulate Batman). I think he tried to recruit Catwoman to make a play against her one time? Jason, obviously, has a very complicated dynamic with Talia, and she's Damian's mom. I don't know of any of the others having any particular thoughts about her, but I certainly haven't read everything with her.

Catwoman - Well, she did kinda try to save Dick from the Joker in the golden age. There's the aforementioned team up. I don't know that they interacted when she was in her "redeemed" state in the bronze age and she Bruce were properly dating. In the few instances I've seen since then, they seem to interact okay. He trusts her in the sense of not thinking she's going double cross him and put him in a position to get killed, at least.

I know she and Jason had some interaction in the bronze age. I want to say that I read they were each jealous of how much attention the other got from Bruce, which is a bad look from a grown woman. But I didn't read it myself.

During the '90s Tim thought she was hot, but didn't trust her.

She and Barbara got off to a bad start in a rather cringeworthy issue, as I recall (but may be misremembering). Can't recall any interactions between Selina and the others.

BTW, do we any examples of Gordon's thoughts on the Bat/Cat dynamic? If so, what is the earliest?

Nocturna - Well, she actually adopted Jason, as I understand it. I haven't read the storyline, so I don't know how he felt about it, or if Dick ever met her.

Older one - Sadly, I can't recall who it was. Seems Julie was too early. Linda Page maybe, or Katht Kane, but I can't really remember so maybe someone else can remember. In any event, Dick was worried that he wouldn't be wanted/needed anymore if Bruce married. Back in those days, Bruce took it as a given that he'd marry and have children, and yes, retire one day. He was a healthier Bruce.

Are there any others who had any interaction with the other members of the family. I recall one phone call between Dick and Silver St. Cloud, and nothing from any others.

PLEASE share more about this dr! So sad that DC is not a popular place to shift to

Gladly! This is my favorite DR atm it’s just great all around honestly.

Fair warning, this is a long post!

Onto my backstory!

So basically, when I was a kid a new rogue popped up with some memory-altering gas and organized a really nasty attack on Gotham. I got caught up in the attack and got my memories fully taken away. So I just kinda wandered around Gotham until Robin found me and Batman decided to take me in (my only DR with a “stable” father figure! Let’s gooooo).

I was really young, and Dick was still Robin, so I wasnt supposed to be a vigilante, but fuck than amiright? I started following them out on patrol and because of my meta abilities they couldn’t catch me. So Bat was like “fuck it, another child soldier” and BAM 2 Robins!!

Also about my meta abilities, they manifested due to the trauma from the attack I was involved in. And they’re bat-based! They were pretty subtle at first, so no one realized I had them until I started training.

Things are great, Damian joins the fam early after Talia decides to ditch her dad, Dick moves out, I break my leg, Jason joins the fam! Happy family, everything’s great, we’re thriving.

Then… BAM tragedy strikes. You really expected me to have a happy, un-traumatizing backstory? No way!

Jay and I get our shit rocked by the Joker. Thankfully, we live haha. I was able to keep us from getting crushed by the warehouse debris due to my enhanced strength. And B got there in time and called in Superman to pull us out of the wreckage.

Anyway, this event FREAKS ME TF OUT. Obviously both of us have to retire from being Robins, and I refuse to have anything to do with vigilantism or Batman. I even refused to speak to Bruce for a while.

I got some pretty nasty, very visible scars from this event. I was really ashamed of them, so I wouldn’t leave the manor or let the media see me. The public/media was told we were kidnapped by random thugs, but it was a conspiracy theory I actually died which is why I hadn’t been seen since it happened (obviously not lmao)

Few years later, Barbara convinces me to become the next batgirl after she had to retire. Night of my first patrol, literally about to leave the cave, bat signal lights. Joker escaped Arkham. Are you kidding me??? I completely flipped my shit. I refused to go out, and refused to ever be a vigilante again.

This didn’t last though, Steph and Cass joined the family and really brought me out of my shell. I helped train stephanie, which really brought back my love of fighting.

So I decided to train again, and just recently became Batgirl!

This DR has by far my angst-iest backstory, I promise I’m not always this dramatic. Onto more fun things!

Stephanie, Cass, and I? Besties <3

Jason and I had lowkey beef with Tim at first because, cmon, we almost die and now some other kid is Robin? But don’t worry, we all get along now!

I hit the joker with a chair once.

I do ballet!

I was adopted second, but I’m the third oldest sibling

I’ve got a motorcycle

I have a scar on my forehead from where I tripped and fell face-first into the batmobile T-T

I also have a scar on my ankle from falling off a roof (this was not fully my fault, Dick was also involved LMAO)

People outside of Gotham know that Batman exists, but the rest of us? Full on cryptid energy. Best evidence is some blurry photographs, the occasional video of one of us being dumb, or anecdotes from fast food workers. There’s a whole buzzfeed unsolved episode about it.

I only recently started making public appearances again, which is fun

The majority of the family are fire signs (including myself) so that’s going to be… a fun experience hahah

I normally work at night, but occasionally I patrol with Duke during the day!

[sheets-of-your-own]

A semi-comprehensive list from my sheet: All of these I've rated 4 stars of above.

Break - by Frill (T, Multi, Completed, 54,693 words) Tim retires from vigilantism with non of the batfam (other than Bruce) knowing his identity. *There's a fair amount of fam-angst in this one, bit of Ra's issues is I also like- it's well written and paced*

Catch You, Help You Heal by Bisexual_Bean (n/a, n/a, uncomplete, 76,042 words) Jason finds tim on a roof after the red robin series. *This may not be what you are looking for, as it is Bruce!Bashing, but it does have a lot of Tim angst, including BatFam-angst, but also others. Lots of good-brother!jason, and a start of good-brother!dick too.*

come wrens and robins by CosmoKid (G, Gen, Completed, 7,431 words) "Tim decideds to dissapear when learning about jason, then calls bruce to pick him up at school when his parents forget" *Good premise, with great angsty inner monologue.*

not robin related by wesslan (n/a, gen, completed, 3,608 words) Tim gets sick, but doesn't ask for help. After all, it's not Robin related. Why would they care? *great writing, love the sick tim thoughts here*

on display to rot up on the hill by CosmoKid (G, Gen, Completed, 1,625 words) Tim's parents forget to feed him for a week *short and sweet, good writing*

Our Bodies & Other Fine Machine by SilverSkiesAtMidnight (T, Gen, Completed, 13,126 words) Tim's parents take away his credit card (and food) as a punishment, he deals *Love this fic, lots of fam!angst (and batfam!angst) and great comfort ending*

Extant by Kgraces (T, Gen, Completed, 77,193 words) The Bats still have Red Robin when they ask for him, but Tim hasn't been needed or wanted in a long time. When Red Robin goes missing during a case, the Bats realize they might just be too late to get him back. *Great fic, i love the last half especially, lots of characters and they're fit in the story really well- I'm also a sucker for good!slade wilson (not cannon!slade, he sucks- the good fannon version)*

So...Rock, Paper, Scissors? by Miss_Lazy_Tuesday (M, Gen, Completed, 24,730 words) the batfam is captured (sans bruce) and jason is made to choose one to kill- Tim is disturbingly prepared *Very well written, lots of horrified batfam at tim's opinions of himself and his place in the fam)*

My Son by Musers (G, Gen, Completed, 7,744 words) Tim thinks he's not Bruce's son/part of the family, then he gets injured *love the early tim&bruce relationship in this one, Lots of Hurt, lots of Comfort*

Exit Strategy by smilebackwards (T, Gen, Completed, 13,420 words) Tim didn’t expect his exit strategy from the Batfamily to involve quite so much bonding time with Damian over Wayne Enterprises bureaucracy. *great plot and writing, love the tim&damian budding relationship, lots of tim inner monologue angst with a good confrontation ending*

Need y’all to drop your fav “Tim doesn’t see himself as part of the batfam” angst fics

Idk if there’s a tag for that but I love the e fics where he either doesn’t go to them for help cause he thinks they don’t want to be bothered by him or fics where he plans to leave the fam because he doesn’t see himself as one of them.

Creed 3 Review

Hey what's going on everyone?! Dan here and today I'll be reviewing Creed 3!

Now I do want to say one thing, I love the Rocky franchise, in turn I enjoy the Creed franchise. I grew up watching the Rocky movies with my dad and he loved Rocky 1-4, we'd watch Rocky 4 specifically together a lot and meme on Drago a lot when he was alive. We both loved boxing as well, I still do to this very day. The Rocky franchise holds a special place in my heart and we were both excited for the Creed movies release back in 2015, but unfortunately he passed away months before it released so he didn't get to experience the successor of the Rocky franchise with me.

I do think the Creed movies hold up well on their own, I loved Creed and especially Creed 2. Creed 3 I was a little apprehensive about it, especially when I heard Sly himself was going to be taking a step back from the production and giving Michael B Jordan himself pretty much full control of the film settling with Co-producing. However, I then learned that the main reason he stepped back was because of the direction of the film. I didn't like the direction it was going and apparently had some major beef for a long time with Producer Irwin Winkler for the way he's been handling the Rocky franchise. Sly stated after Creed 2 he was retiring his role as Rocky and he meant it since Rocky is no where in this film. This meant that this is solely focusing on Adonis's story, Rocky plays no part in this what so ever. Fans (including myself) were obviously nervous about this film not having Rocky since he is the main character of this entire franchise. Although, I feel this is the right direction especially when you have Michael B Jordan directing, he's the face of this franchise and the fact that the Creed franchise is its own thing now. Rockys story is done, now this is Adonis's time. So the questions are, Can Michael B Jordan Direct a good film? can he live up to Rocky Franchise while also establishing the Creed franchise as its own? Can he flesh out Adonis our main protagonist and his story?

Now the plot itself isn't bad, in fact it's giving us more backstory and lore on Adonis's early life from his childhood. The plot revolves around Adonis being retired from boxing for a couple years and being successful in his retirement helping train/promote the next generation of fighters. During this time, his old friend Damian gets released from jail and is trying to start up his boxing career despite being older than Adonis, even aiming for a title fight. Adonis manages to get him a title shot with one of his champions. Dame beats the champion but in a disrespectful way with cheap shots and being full on vicious without remorse. This upsets Adonis and eventually comes to the conclusion that he needs to come out of retirement and beat Dame in the ring himself.

Now the plot is very much the same guidelines as Rocky movie, follows almost the same formula which isn't a bad thing but shows that the Creed franchise hasn't quite become its own identity yet. It is still arising from the shadows of the Rocky franchise at a slow pace which is fine, if they make another movie in the Creed franchise then they would have to make a big push to stand on its own but as of now it's fine. I will say, Michael B Jordan did give this movie his own personal touch. Jordan himself is an anime fan which is cool because I noticed a lot of anime references such as Naruto and DBZ which is awesome.

I also want to note as a boxing fan, a lot of things that happen in the Rocky and Creed movies boxing scenes would not happen in a real professional boxing match. I do understand that a lot of the fights are greatly exaggerated for the sake of drama in these movies so this is more of a nitpick from a boxing fan.

The cast did a great job with their performances as the characters in Creed 3. Michael B Jordan did a phenomenal job as Adonis Creed once again fleshing out the raw emotions of the character just as he did in the first two films. I feel this his best performance in the Creed franchise since we saw the character mature and showing his strong emotions when dealing with his past along with guilt, shame and his love for his family. I'll admit there was some over the top overacting at times but it was very little so it's forgivable. Tessa Thompson, while I may not like her presence outside of her acting career, she did a good job as Bianca. Her character does a great job of being the support system for Adonis helping him cope with his issues. Mila Davis-Kent did a phenomenal job as Adonis's daughter, Amara. I do like the inclusion of sign language in this film, I think it's cool when we can include different languages like Spanish or sign language in a film or show. Jonathan Majors is on a real good villain streaks lately with the third Antman movie and third Creed movie, guess the number three is his lucky number. His role as Dame is pretty good though I do wish they just made Dame an unapologetic villain, not on the level of Jack Horner per say, but just let him be evil without giving him a redemption ending or sad backstory. They set him up as being someone who will do anything to get what he wants, literally sabotaging others plans to further his own goals. But in the end its kind of tainted by him being a sad sack, jut let him be evil man. Lastly, I wanna give a shoutout to Phylicia Rashad for her role as Mary Anne. Without her, Adonis wouldn't have that strong foundation of love and trust that helps him let others in and it is especially sad when her character passed in this film since she was a major character in the Creed franchise. It reminded me of Mickeys death in Rocky 3, he was a major character in Rockys life and in the first three films and to lose him was a real gut punch for us all. I felt that it should have been Mary Annes voice that motivated Adonis to beat Dame in the end rather than Bianca but it's fine I guess.

Overall, I felt that Michael B Jordan did an excellent job directing this film and continuing the story of Adonis Creed. I don't think the franchise is quite able to stand on its own two feet just yet, but I will say that it is slowly coming out of Rockys shadow and if they do one more Creed film, they gotta make a big push to establish the franchise as its own. I had fun watching this film and while I may have some nitpicks here and there, I felt this was well done.

Rating this film I'd give it:

8/10

I recommend giving this film a watch along with the other Creed movies as well as the Rocky movies (the 5th and 6th movies are optional honestly). I look forward to Michael B Jordans hand in directing in the future as well as Jonathan Majors acting in his next projects. That's all I have to say, for now I bid y'all a doo.

See ya!

Sims Mobile Adventures. Part 21: Dawkins and Their Kin

Damian didn’t just lay around and wait for his death. He got to work right away to help the next generation get a solid footing. With Dionysus taking the mantle as the head of the house, he was not able to assist in the publication of Diana’s fan fiction. Good thing Uncle Damian’s here!

Just like his sister Artemis, Dmitri realized that being a Marine Biologist was not what he wanted to do. But unlike his sister who became a DJ, he became a surgeon. A generation has passed since a descendant of Victor took on the medical field. This became a sort of joke in the family that Dmitri is actually the reincarnation of the Founder Victor. His cousin Victoria remarked that their Grandfather Victor would be the proudest of him since he is a surgeon unlike the other who took artistic occupations. Maybe that was the reason he was so fond of Caitlyn, the only lawyer amongst a fashion designer, massage therapist, and stylist.

But his sisters would say that he actually resembles their maternal uncle Alessio more.

Because her biological father wasn’t much around, he stepped up and raised Bernadette like his own daughter. Since she looked like the spitting image of her mother and had the same skin tone as her uncle, she believed that they were her parents. Damian didn’t have the heart to correct her since he grew to love her like his own.

When she was newly born, her mother took her to live in a shed in Dawkin’s territory. That’s where she spent her early childhood. Vivian didn’t want to bother the other family members with her failed marriage and her struggles as a single mother, so in shame she fled. Damian was furious because he didn’t want them to be living in squalor when he could just provide for them right here. So he came up to the territory and took them in.

He entrusted the territory to a farmhand Vikram Aurora. He would eventually develop the shack a bit into the current Casa Aurora.

Bernadette idolized him because she saw him as her savior that day. She dressed like him, followed him everywhere he went, and always listened to his stories. When Bernadette turned 18, her mother became weaker and had to retire from her job.

She assisted her “father” in his administrative duties and cared for her family like a real head would. She never suspected that the family friend Alessio was her father since…you know. If you see this for yourself, she doesn’t even look like him.

In the meantime, Dmitri was enjoying himself in his new job. He had a crush on his coworker Brett even if he was way older than him

Now that that Damian and Vivian are old, Bernadette knew that she would be the sole bearer of the Dawkins line.

She knew that her grandmother Daniela wasn’t the most emulated person since she caused the rift between the families the first place but she was still the first wife. The Dawkins line was born out of love while the Kiramman line was out of stability and convenience. (Other sources would say it was more of the opposite)

It was a miracle that her uncle Damian even became the head, since there was talks of making Dionysus the 2nd head instead. She was assured that the Dawkins were safe under her presumed father’s loving hands but what would happen when her uncle Dionysus takes over? Will they be forgotten?

She forgot about her fears for awhile since the bearers of the Kiramman line were coming over. They strutted over like a bunch of models on the runway. I guess it makes sense since Victoria would go undercover as a model sometimes.

It seems that her cousin Victoria has found a way to make her mothers immortal.

Diana was best friends with her cousin so she got to join in the Kiramman fun. Damian was excited to meet the couple since Caitlyn and him made amends. He had a wonderful time with his sister Vivian.

After the visit, she got to talk with her mother about her fears and about the future of the Dawkins line. Her mother assured her that the Chang was still her family. Dionysus and her grew up together, she felt like that they were truly siblings. Yes, even if it was awkward between Daniela and Cassandra they managed to make it work. Her cousin Victoria assured her that as the bearer of the Kiramman line, she holds no resentment of the Dawkins and is here to support Bernadette in case she needs it

Her fears started to come true when her mother passed away shortly after that conversation.

[cjsmalley]

Continued;

Damian's hands curls around the mug as he murmurs, "I miss Cujo."

"His dog," Danielle explains to Alfred even as she whips out her cellphone and texts someone.

"You have a dog?" Alfred prompts the morose boy.

"Ghost dog," Damian mumbles, "was just a puppy when he was euthanized for no good reason."

"Dear lord, the poor pup."

A portal opens and out pops...

"Cujo!" Damian calls and the puppy jumps into his arms, though he doesn't drop the scroll in his mouth.

Danielle reaches over, takes the scroll, and unrolls it.

"From the court of--oh god, Dad had Paige write this?" Danielle groans, eyes skipping over all the official nonsense, "From the Court of blah blah blah--by his blah blah blah--oh, here. I am so sorry I didn't even think about Cujo. Damian, if Mister Wayne says to send him home then listen to him, okay. Blah blah blah...Huh."

Danielle blinks, rereading the words and hoping they suddenly make more and less sense than they did, "So, apparently, Clockwork says this Mortal World--" she gestures around her, "isn't the Mortal World Dad, Mom, and me come from?"

"Pardon?" Alfred's eyebrow rises.

"Yeah, so we've been keeping Dami in the Zone for no reason? Nobody none of his biological family exists in our dimension--" she reads further, "Dad's asking you to think about going to school, public or private, they don't care either way. Just human school, like I do. Since it's safe and would be better for you than hanging with a buncha ghosts all day."

"Has his highness never been in the human world since your family took him in?" Alfred questions.

"Oh, yes, several hours here and there," Damian nods, petting Cujo, "even whole days. But we thought Grandfather was out there and Dani needs frequent exposure to the ectoplasm of the Zone or she becomes ill without her medicine."

"I took a dose before bed," Danielle assures Alfred, still reading, "Okay, so Mom's still in labor, no trouble so far. Doctor thinks either this morning or tonight. Then they'll leave us here for another day, just in case."

"Are complications expected?" Alfred asks.

"No one knows," Danielle explains, "the baby's the first known natural ghost human hybrid. I'm basically an aged up test tube baby. The guy that made me and Dad both became half-ghost due to lab accidents. Dad shoulda been fried like a fry."

"Good lord," Alfred nods his understanding, looking rather grim at the thought of a human chip.

"So far, Mom's been okay," Danielle continues, "everything's been normal. But the baby is a few weeks early. It might be because it's half-ghost but," she shrugs, "it could just be early."

"Do you not know the sex?" Alfred asks.

"No. Mama wants it to be a surprise, Baba agreed," Damian says, far happier now that he has Cujo with him.

Danielle's still reading, "Geeze, Paige--"

"Paige is the Royal Scribe," Damian explains to the adult, "it is her job to make all official correspondence sound Official."

"And she's good at her job," Danielle agrees, "but very long-winded. Dad must've dictated and she made his words all Official. Blah blah blah, we're out of school for the next two weeks...blah blah blah. Oh, grandparents are on their way back. Nice. Blah blah blah, we can call home if we get homesick. Blah blah blah, Aunt Jazz says call her if we need to. All the love Mom and Dad have for us, they miss us, then blah blah blah, more Royal titles and Dad's official signature."

She rolls up the scroll.

Damian yawns, his mug empty now and both Danielle and Alfred smile.

"Perhaps it is time to retire, your highness," Alfred suggests, picking up the empty mugs and waiting patiently while Danielle quickly drains hers.

Damian nods sleepily, asking, "May I bring--?"

"Yes, you may," Alfred smiles softly and shepherds the children and puppy back to bed, "I will inform Master Bruce about Cujo in the morning. He will not force you to send the pup back, I assure you."

He tucks the children in, watching as Cujo curls up on Damian's pillow above his head and eyes the door warily.

Then he hurries down to the Cave as his other charges begin to trickle back in, patrols done for the night and without injuries.

He informs Bruce of their newest guest and the information he has been given about the Royal Family before firmly stating the dog will be staying with Damian.

Nobody has any objections to this and they are, in fact, excited to meet another ghost.

Even if it is just a dog.

Everyone heads to bed, through Bruce makes a detour to peek in on Damian.

Cujo lifts his head and whuffs questioningly.

Bruce smiles, remembering Ace. Ace who slept with Dick in those first dark and dreadful days more than anywhere else.

He goes to bed still smiling.

In the morning, the Waynes and associates are properly introduced to Cujo and his neat...trick.

"Holy shit," Jason exclaims as everyone stares at the enormous, Clifford sized, mastiff type dog that had previously been a small adorable puppy.

"Cujo's Damian's bodyguard," Danielle grins.

"No kidding!" Dick approaches the dog carefully.

Cujo stops snarling, sniffs him, then covers him in ectoplasmic saliva.

Then the dog shrinks back down to puppy form.

"You will want to take a shower and change, quickly, Richard," Damian warns, "ectoplasm like that is corrosive to those not used to it; rashes and such."

"Oh, okay, thanks," Dick jogs off.

"Baba forgot to send Cujo with us," Damian explains to the remaining audience, "an oversight he apologized for. As long as you mean me no harm, Cujo will not harm you. Yes, Timothy?"

"Just how much dog is he still?"

"He does not require food nor does he produce waste, however he requires walkies and loves to be groomed with a horse hair brush," Damian smiles, petting his dog.

Cujo nudges into his hand.

"He was supposed to be a security guard dog, when he was alive," Danielle adds, "but the company went cyber and put all the dogs down, even the puppies. Dad first met him because he was looking for his squeaky toy. Then he stuck with Dad until he bonded with Damian."

TBC...

mind if I give a dp×dc prompt?

Constantine means to summon the ghost king but instead summons the ghost prince who is currently has a fork hanging out of his mouth.

Damian just wanted to eat lunch with his adoptive father king phantom, in peace.

I just want to put that I love this prompt, and will enjoy writing this so much!

Now, onto the big question: How did Damian become the Ghost Prince of the Infinite Realms in the first place?

And of course, the answer is obviously because of Ra's al Ghul. I could think of it as two ways.

One would be Ra's summoned the Ghost King and offered his son in exchange for immortality. Danny not only denies him, but still takes Damian with him because he's obviously better off anywhere but there.

The other way would be Damian would be forced to watch the summoning as Ra's possibly wanted to show him his ascent into being immortal. Though, when summoning Danny, he just looked around, saw Damian, grabbed him, and disappeared back through the summoning circle while flipping off Ra's al Ghul.

Now, what's the Ghost King supposed to do with the human kid he just kidnapped without a second thought?

Sure, the kids previous living conditions probably wasn't the best. I mean, how would it when the man had an entire pit of rotten ectoplasm? But Danny was pretty much still a kid himself. And he had his kingly duties on top of that. But that doesn't mean he was just going to dump the kid somewhere else and hope for the best.

So what does Danny do? He goes to his sister.

Jazz is conflicted about the whole ordeal. On one hand, it was good for Danny to rescue the child from the possible dangerous situation. On the other, they had a whole child that they didn't know what to do with.

Damian was confused about the entire situation. He was there with his grandfather (whether by force or his own accord depending how he got there) to watch him summon the King of the Dead in order to establish himself as one of the higher beings in this world to rule it. Instead, the King, who turned out to be no more older than him, denied his grandfather upright before grabbing him and vanishing back into the same portal he was summoned from.

Now, he was sitting between the Ghost King and an older teen. Sister, maybe? Either way, he was unsure as to what to do now. He had no idea how far he was away from the hideout of the League. And if the King was as powerful as legends told, he doubted he would make it far if he were to run anywhere before he was caught.

So, Damian believed that the best thing to do in this situation was to try and get onto the Ghost King's good side until he could find what would be the next step. So his next words shocked both him and the woman he was talking with.

"I want to stay with you, Great King of the Dead."

So! Damian decided that staying with the Ghost King, or Phantom, as he preferred to be called at most, would be best. Of course, his request threw the king off guard along with the girl. But it was all he had up his sleeve and he was going to use it.

And now that that was settled, a lot of things followed suite:

Danny, with the gain of a new charge, called in Sam and Tucker for a full on meeting on what to do with the kid along with Jazz.

Of course with Danny officially kidnapping him, he was under Danny's care. The Ghost King's care. That was basically signing some sort of second death wish.

With all of his friends and family being alive, they decide the best place for him to leave was in his castle in the Ghost Zone. There was plenty of room there! And he was sure that it would be safe. Maybe. Hopefully. You know what? He'll probably have to do a quick check before he officially brought to the castle.

That being said, he would also have to warn those who stayed in the castle the arrival of his....guest? Kidnappee? Ward? A kid that he took from the environment that was not safe for him!

Surprisingly, the ghosts were excited about the development. So excited, in fact, that when he returned to the castle with Damian in turn, there was already talk about the Ghost King's heir was already going around of all the realms. That was fine though. If the word spread around fast enough, hopefully that that meant he would be easily protected against any possible attacks.

Danny introduces to some of those he can. A few members of his Rogue Gallery who he gotten closer to over the time, Ellie ("It's big sister Ellie, now! I can't believe you just kidnapped a kid like that!")

Others were introduced to him as well. Especially Frost Bite and Fright Knight. Both of which were interested in meeting his sudden charge. (But with the way he saw the kid eyeing Fright Knight's sword, it's best their unsupervised interactions were kept to a minimum.)

And seeing that he was a kid himself, it was going to be weird raising one that's probably not much younger than him. Clockwork sure did get a kick out of it though.

Here is a list of possible outcomes that come from Danny and his friends & family raising Damian:

He doesn't grow up to be as stiff and cold as before. With Danny and the others around (especially Jazz's "Aunt Jazz, Damian," Aunt Jazz's mandatory sessions about his life with the League of Assassin's) his formality is more royalty like instead of an assassin waiting to strike. Though, there is a bit still there.

Training. As being accepted as the ward and possible heir of the Ghost King, it meant that that Damian would have protection and would have to learn the ways of the Infinite Realms. Both its politics and ways of combat. That was fine, Damian was sure he could handle it. He was raised by the League of Assassins after all. But he was wrong...so wrong. His first training session showed how he fared as a human against a ghost. But he wasn't deterred and continued fighting. (It was alright in the end, because he got his own ghost sword. Of course, it didn't send the opponent into a realm of neverending nightmares, but it was still good. Danny was sure he heard Damian cackle madly when the sword was presented to him.)

Bonding time with Danny and his friends. He would most likely learn about Danny about how he became Phantom and King of the Infinite Realms, as well as a bit of his friends and family that was with him the entire time.

Even if he is Danny's ward, that doesn't mean that he keeps him in the Infinite Realms the entire time. He often took Damian out to various spots that he deemed alright for some bonding between the two to get to know each other a bit more personally.

He would even allow Damian some time alone in the human realm if he wanted it. Of course, he would only leave him for about an hour or two before picking him up again. During that time he would simply work on some kingly duties he couldn't do with Damian around.

Overtime, Damian would become more liminal than most due to all the exposure in the realms. Of course he wasn't a full on ghost, but the most he could do was float, fly and even turn invisible. But even that would take a lot out of him for too long.

After a while, Damian would be referred as "Little Prince" or "Prince of the Infinite Realms".

All. The. Animals. With all of the ecto-based animals along with the blob ghosts, he would be in absolute heaven.

Now, I want to bring something else up to this prompt: How would Bruce react?

Depending on how Danny kidnapped adopted Damian, there are two ways that Bruce could find out.

Bruce gains word from Talia after a League of Assassins member finds her and tells her of the passing of Ra's al Ghul and the kidnapping of his grandson. Both of which happened by the hands of the Ghost King.

Words gets out that Ra's failed to get the Ghost King under his control to grant his wish of immortality and that the Ghost King took his grandson as well.

Either way would be how Bruce managed to have a biological son that he was unaware of. Which could also lead to him digging into anything he could find about the King of the Infinite Realms, even seeking JL Dark for any information. Of course, their information isn't up to date and he think that Damian has been kidnapped by the cruel Ghost King Pariah Dark instead of Danny Phantom: The King who can't say no to a kid with a sword bigger than his own body.

So yes. This whole ordeal would just be chaos from beginning to end.

❪ ♡ ❫ ─── ( synopsis ) just two people in love that sneak away during a charity ball to have a quickie.

HIS HAND FELT WARM AS THE TWO OF YOU TRAVELED DOWN THE GLOOMY LIT HALLWAYS. Your fingers intertwined with his like perfectly put-together puzzle pieces while he dragged you down the hallway. You could hear him mumbling about finding a place that was quiet for you two to duck off into while the extravagant charity ball that was going on continued until the crescent moon winked down upon everyone. As you walked, you wanted to question what room your boyfriend would choose, but you just let him lead the way. You were well aware of the direction you were going, after all—you remembered the building by heart your first month working for the company. Although your department was on a different floor, you still remembered vividly what floor the two of you were on.

You stopped at the door and immediately knew whose office it was. "Are you insane?"

With a devious smirk on his face, Jason Todd leaned his back on the door behind him. He brought the bottle of champagne up to his lips taking a sip from it.

"Come on, it'll be fun." His free hand grabbed a hold of your waist tugging you closer.

You looked up at him through your eyelashes. It didn't shock you that he chose this office specifically but this was a huge risk. Bruce Wayne was your boss. If he found out, there goes your career down the drain and the embarrassment clawing you into possibly depression. "Through all the empty offices, you choose Bruce's?" You asked. "Are you trying to push the guy into retirement early and get me fired?"

"We'll be quick, probably." Jason let you go to unlock the door before he let his tall stature is gliding through the small opening of Bruce's office door.

Your eyes glanced around your surroundings one last time before disappearing into the office also. Your back closed the door before you're taking in your newest environment of Bruce's office. It was huge. Someone could possibly live in the space of Bruce's office if they wanted to. It went well with Bruce's demeanor you got from him. It felt sophisticated, yet homely at the same time.

"Are you going to continue to goggle over his office or come here?" Jason was sitting behind Bruce's desk in his signature chair.

Your cheeks felt hot when you looked at him. It just was something about him sitting behind the desk looking the way he looked. The one tie that was perfectly tied around his neck was loosened. His black hair with that one patch of white was disheveled due to him constantly running his fingers through it. Plus, a couple of his buttons were undone on his white button-down shirt giving you a peak of his toned chest.

Like a snake that was getting charmed by a snake charmer, you gracefully walked over to your boyfriend to be close to him. Each step you took towards him, you felt your body go through a heat rush and that was just the charm Jason had on you. He had a way to make you feel like your cheeks were on fire and for your heart to skip a couple of beats. On some days you forgot how to breathe when he would embrace you in his strong arms or get flowers sent to your department (he could get them sent to your office specifically but he adored letting people know you were cherished and loved).

Jason tugs you into his lap and he twirls the chair around so that it's facing the large glass window that gave a glorious view of Gotham. Your eyes twinkled seeing all the buildings and how small everyone looked from the floor you two were on. You could feel Jason's thumb rub circles on your back before speaking, "You look so beautiful tonight Y/N."

"Thank you." Your eyes met with his, "I mean you did help pick out the dress."

"Mhmm, I did. You want to know why?" Jason asked. You could feel him push forward to place kisses on the back of your shoulder.

"I'm assuming for what we're in Bruce's office for," You innocently admitted. "Which, I do need to remind you if we get caugh—"

Your words were interrupted by an abrupt kiss. The taste of champagne intertwined with your tastebuds before you became a bowl of putty in Jason's lap. You completely relaxed under his sudden touch of caressing you in all the correct places. His large callous hands traveled in between your thighs, pushing them further apart so he could have more access to you. You moaned into the kiss grasping more of Jason to bring him already closer to your body.

You hated how intoxicating he was. He always kept you on your toys like an adrenaline junkie every time he was in your presence. Similar to tonight, it felt like it was only just the two of you in the huge room. Subtle jokes only you two would understand as you were in a corner together and always staying by each other’s side in the crowded room. The two of you were insufferable and you didn’t want to think of a life without him in it.

It didn’t take much time before the sheer dress you wore for tonight was pushed up around your waist and your seamless black thong was pushed to the side. The heated feeling of Jason's slender fingers inside you caused your back to arch abruptly. Breathy gasps escape from your mouth before your hand went up to cage any coherent moans out. Despite the overbearing pleasure you wanted to squirm away from, your thighs still spread apart to give your boyfriend move access to you and your drooling cunt. Your juices slowly started to stain Jason's expensive nicely tailored pants but that didn't stop the young man to remove his fingers coated with your slick to toy with your clit in a teasing matter and repeating the progress of his index and middle finger disappearing into you once more.

"You look so beautiful tonight baby. I just couldn't miss the opportunity to fuck you in this dress." Jason's words were like a soothing whisper in your ear.

You fully understood why he chose this specific dress. It gave him quick access to you like this. It was a bit scandalous to wear at such an event, but nothing was as scandalous as the events that were unfolding with each passing minute in Bruce's office. The sound of harsh clit slaps and even harder kisses could be heard within the office before your hand was grasping at practically anything. Your orgasm was close to having to be a quivering mess on Jason's lap. Before you could express the satisfying frustration that had you drooling at the mouth, Jason stopped. Without hesitation and thought of your orgasm being snatched away from you, Jason removed his fingers from you. His fingers were completely damped due to your essence, but now his mind wanted something else to be completely coated with your juices.

His cock twitched in anticipation and ached to feel you clutching around him. "I want you so bad baby and I know you want me too."

That was certainly true.

You never actually had the thought of what if we get caught. The office door was locked, but any curious person in the building across could see the pornographic sight of you being bent over. Using the high-rise window to hold your balance waiting for the moment to be stretched out by Jason. You swallowed the lump that formed in your throat as soon as you felt Jason's tip brush against your soaking entrance. If you listened close enough, you even could hear him let out a sigh of relief as soon as he begin to push himself forward bit by bit. He could feel you tense up which caused him to stop, "You okay, baby?"

"Mhm, you can continue." You said.

You didn't get a response from him, just a sudden thrust forward followed by a breathy groan. Jason was completely savoring the moment of feeling you clutch around. Especially given that the two of you haven't seen each other in a day or two. When he finally gained the cute moan from you, that's when he started thrusting like a madman. It was as if he wanted to cherish every moment of your pussy being around his cock. As if he was going to lose you. Jason nibbled at his lower lip as his fingers traced alongside the fatness of your ass—being sure to move the thong you wore to the side just to give him more room. His eyes darkened at the sight of your drooling cunt swallowing his cock.

"Fuck—you're taking me so well," Jason whined out. "You looked so pretty tonight and just wanted to remind you who you're going home with tonight." He admits through the sound of your skin slapping against each other.

He placed the sloppiest kisses on the back of your shoulder while his hips push forward to feel you clutch around him again and again. The sound of heated skin slapping against each other bounced off the office's walls and Jason was close to coming undone. His hands grasped at your waist tighter and his movements only grew quicker.

"You look so pretty like this." Jason breathed out, as each syllable stung his tongue—he shoved forward tapping at that one spot that caused your eyes to lolly in the back of your head. With one hand dance up your back to tangle into your coils to give it a good pull. "You're my pretty girl, right?"

With each thrust, you could feel that Jason was slowly unraveling into a vulnerable state that he never showed anyone else. His once harsh grasp on your waist loosened before his left hand reached in front of you. His fingers instantly find your clit to rub in a circular motion to help you cum just in time for him to cum.

"Jason.." You whined as your hand went down to stop the overstimulating pressure upon your clit. But your hand was pushed away as quick as possible.

"Answer me Y/N. You're my pretty girl right?" Jason whispered in your ear, "Answer me and I'll help you cum."

Your tears of pleasure stained your heated cheeks and you could only moan out incoherent moans of yes and please let me cum.

Jason always gave you what you want. If he could, he'll give you the whole world if you asked for it. But for tonight, you wanted him to make you cum and that's what exactly he did. He didn't stop until the both of you were a gasping mess and your sweat-coated bodies were hunched over. He pulled himself out of you hesitantly, the heat of the moment caused him to fill you up with his cum. Which wasn't new considering other times when you two had sex and he'll admit mid-stroke how beautiful you'll look pregnant with his children.

"Let's get out of here," Jason lazily plopped backward on the chair behind him. His hands fumbling to fix his pants from looking like he had just rolled out of bed or in this case—just had sex.

When he was done, like the touchy boyfriend he was—his hands reached out to help you fix your dress. His fingers that once were inside you trace alongside your smooth legs before his hand tugs your dress down.

"It'll be rude to leave suddenly after disappearing and without saying goodbye." You smoothed out the imaginary wrinkles in your dress.

"And it'll be even ruder smelling like sex while mingling with Bruce's guests," Jason responded

"Fair point." Your face scrunched up as you were using your reflection in the high-rise windows to wipe away smudge makeup.

[dairy-farmer]

just wondering ... in "feel like a brand new person," how does damian's perspective on tim and damian's relationship change as he gets older?

damian and tim's relationship in 'feel like a brand new person' is very unique and completely different from everyone else's. because everyone else in tim's world is on board with the idea that tim is a victim and bruce is the abuser- it's a pretty clear-cut dynamic for them. and despite the fact that damian "overhears" the accusations that dick launched at bruce and he believes that he knows all the pieces and with that information has decided to blame tim for everything that happened- it actually really highlights how damian is too young and immature to grasp what's happening.

damian repeatedly believes that he's mature enough to grasp the situation and is offended that his family tries to hide things because of his age but it's his age that is to blame for his treatment of tim.

he believes that tim is the one behind these accusations that make bruce look like some low, disgusting pervert (even though bruce never denied them and that the "news: was not publicized even among the community of heroes. also that tim was not the one who said them at all- it was dick who confronted bruce). he states that tim is NOT a victim numerous times both to alfred and to tim's face. that tim is not a victim unlike- and the example used is of monica lewinsky who was an american woman that was famously made the scapegoat to an affair with the most politically powerful man in america, president of the united states bill clinton- i think it's interesting to note how damian referred to her as a victim while saying that tim was not one. it reveals how damian's moral compass functions when confronted with nuance like consenting parties, male and female abuse instances vs male and male abuse instances, and other gray areas that make up the main conflict of the fic.

damian's default response as a hero who fights against injustice is corruption is to side with and protect the 'victim' just as barbara, dick, clark, and even jason do (and jason deeply disliked tim until he realized something very wrong was happening- that was enough for jason to pause the feelings he had toward tim and listening to his gut about something feeling off).

damian doesn't do that. instead he defends his father. he points fingers at tim and tries to find a way to shift the blame to him, that HE must've done something because his father would never, HE'D never do what others are accusing him of doing. damian may be a hero but he's also a child and that's his dad. so no i don't think damian would really see the 'truth' of the situation.

when he grows older, maybe even when he's bruce's age or when he has his own children something in him will just...click. and he'll have this '....oh.' moment. and it'll be a tough pill to swallow, the grief of it all will really whammy him. because he'll be an adult man and he'll pass a teenager on the street and he'll realize...that he's at the age when his father first fucked timothy.

for a long time i think damian will resent tim and dick and the whole family for 'screwing' everything up. for making every time his father was in the room filled with tension, for making his father retire early and pull away from the scene. his anger will fluctuate a lot between tim whose life "wasn't affected" (it was tim has limited autonomy for a long time) and with the other bats who spent years trying to take him away from his father. his relationship with dick is strained and damian loves dick he really does but he can't overlook what he did to their family.

i think damian will be in his 30s stewing with the realization and accepting that he may have loved his dad and his dad may have been an amazing person and hero but that doesn't mean he didn't do a bad thing.

he and tim will definitly be estranged but when damian finally gets older, gets exposed to more shit as a vigilante, and matures more- he'll finally realize why what happened was so screwed up.

tim should've been protected by bruce but instead, he was taken advantage of. and maybe his father was mentally ill and desperately needed help and found a way to cope by having an inappropriate relationship with his robin- and maybe the whole family bears responsibility for not spotting and stopping it. maybe timothy also bears responsibility for not being perceptive enough to see that their relationship, his actions, and everything about what was happening wasn't normal.

but that's all in the past and he's only now coming to terms with it.

i feel like once damian finally accepts and comes to terms with that he'll be able to reach out to tim who he hasn't initiated contact with in years and maybe start to build something that they never could've done before.

feel like a brand new person is a pretty bleak and sad fic but as one commenter said 'it ends in an upswing'. you see that things have a light at the end of the tunnel in the far distance but it is still a very far distance.
