Headcanons for Bane and his crew

Because I am obsessed with him, and, in my mind, they're his disaster of a found family, and DC doesn't appreciate them enough.

• First, it's canon that Zombie was Bane's caretaker before his mother died, so I think Zombie was in Peña Duro longer than everyone. He's ancient, like, older than the authoritarian government that is now in control of Santa Prisca, older than the Director.

• I like his redesign in Bane: Conquest. I think the reason he was kept in the infirmary of the prison was because of his powers. Maybe the Director of Peña Duro wanted Zombie's power of healing/stealing life for himself and locked him there.

• Bane's mother gave him a name in secret, and Zombie knows it.

• Trogg and Zombie are old friends and were sent to the prison at the same time. Trogg was a young man and Zombie was in his forties or something. That's why, when Bane was taken from the infirmary and forced to live with the other prisoners, Trogg took care of him.

• Trogg became his protector and taught him stuff, and taught Bane everything he could, like reading, and doing math. It's canon he also learned with a priest during his childhood.

• Bird is from Gotham City, New Jersey and was sent to Peña Duro for a small crime, he probably got involved with the wrong people when he was younger.

• He is the youngest of the group, and around the same age as Bane, who is only a few months younger than Bruce.

• Sometimes he is called 'Birdy' by other people because they hear Bane and Trogg say his alias with their accent, and it sounds like 'Birdy'. He gave up correcting people when it happens.

• Everyone in this crew is Afro-Caribbean, except from Bird, of course. When the other three start to speak Spanish in hushed/hurried voices, he gets so lost.

• Something that totally didn't happen, but I based it from a scene of The Dark Knight Rises (eeew): Zombie cant speak because when Bane was taken to the dark cell, he tried to stop the guards and was attacked by the other inmates, like Bane in the movie. When Bane was grown up and left the cell, he met with Zombie again and Zombie had his mouth sew shut :/.

• And after that, he started to act more like a dead person. He doesn't blink, breath or eat, and most of the time he just stands there, doing nothing. Creeps everyone out, but the Crew is used to this.

• Of course after leaving Santa Prisca and the Knightfall arc, Bane has a large group of henchmen, but these three are the ones he trusts the most, everyone knows that.

• Talon, Bird's pet, was found by him after they escaped Santa Prisca. Bane forbid Bird from keeping it, Bird insisted and became attached to the hawk.

• Sometimes Bane feeds it, but since he's not used to animals, he's slightly scared of it. He won't say it, never.

• Talon doesn't like Trogg. No one knows why, he simply doesn't and will try to beak Trogg if he gets too close to Bird. So when they fight, what happens constantly, Bird will put Talon on his shoulder and end the discussion. Trogg hates that hawk.

• Sometimes he'll go "Jefe, the maldito pájaro is trying to eat my eyes!!", and Bane won't look up as he says "Birdy, control your animal". Bird will just smirk and do nothing to stop Talon from trying to kill Trogg.

• When Trogg and Bird start to fight, Zombie threatens to hit them with his cane.

• Everyone knows how to throw knifes thanks to Zombie, who is a specialist in this.

• Bane is a very good swimmer, since he spent 17 years in the pit.

• Since Bane learned about the world through book and other people, there are a lot of things he doesn't understand or thinks are not real. When he finds something new, he asks one of the three to explain to him.

• Obvious after they escape, Trogg and Zombie take him to eat the best Hispanic food they can find. (Unfortunately Zombie could only watch and sigh, but he was happy Bane could enjoy real food he used to love).

• If Osito gets destroyed or loses an arm or let, Trogg fixes it immediately. Bane never asks, he will just find the bear already patched up and placed somewhere safe.

• Trogg also cuts his hair when it gets long, because Bane hates having people behind him with sharp objects. He refused to cut Bird's hair (you know how his haircut was in the early comics).

• Bane is not exactly claustrophobic,, but he also is; he kinda of misses the security of his cell, of being in a closed space where he knows no one can see or touch him. Sometimes he hates it, sometimes he thinks about going back. He misses the dark sometimes, but thinks he's weak for that. He hates being in spaces where he can't control his own exit.

• He hates soup. That's canon. He hates food he can't chew.

• For heaven’s sake, I don't think Bane is misogynistic. He is a jerk most time, but he's also a gentleman. He was taught by his mother and Zombe to respect women and be polite all the time. He'll only attack a woman if she's about to fight him.

• He speaks too many languages, sometimes he gets confused and mixes words and forgets others. And the others mainly only speak Spanish and English, so if he needs to remember how to say a word in English but only remembers it in Russian, they have no idea how to help him.

• I don't remember what's Talon's fate in the comics. But I think he dies in a dangerous Job, that's when Bird gets a drone and names it Talon II.

• He was so sad when his hawk died. Bane tried to comfort him with awkward (and painful) pats on his back.

• When he's working on Bane's Venom tubes, or anything else, Trogg puts old Hispanic songs to play on his radios. He's a terrible singer, but will sing every word at the top of his lungs.

• They all play cards when they're bored, and definitely watch sports and drink together. Bane doesn't care about teams, Bird and Trogg always are against each other. Again, Zombie is always included, but he's only standing around them in silence.

• Bane has a loud laugh. When he's really feeling happy, he laughs so, so loud and pats anyone close to him on the back. He also sleeps like a dad when he's tired after missions, laying on the couch with his hands on his chest, snoring.

• Trogg also laughs like that, but he keeps his hand to himself.

• Bird is ambidextrous. Just that :)

• Apparently, in the comics only Bird has an official last name, and the others only have names in the games. So I made names for them: Diego Vallelunga (Trogg), Sérgio Ortiz (Zombie) Angelo Colossimo (Bird), Antônio Eduardo Diaz (Bane).

• If Bane had kept he Naja-Naja baby (from Bane: Conquest), Zombie would become his caretaker, like he was to Bane.

• Osito would also become the kid's new toy, and Bane would give him a knife when he became old enough to carry one.

• When Bane is annoyed with Bird he'll purposely call him 'Birdy' or 'Angelo'. Makes Bird's blood boil, and he will storm off (if he receives permission to do so).

• After Bane leaves the Secret Six, he goes back with the crew to Santa Prisca to fix the situation of the country. He's kinda of a hero there, like the Batman of Santa Prisca.

• The Crew is not fond of the Secret Six, but they respect Scandal Savage as Bane's adopted daughter and try to be nice to her and her wives and kid.

• None of them understands "the things the kids like nowadays". Black Alice once show them a meme, and they spent half an hour trying to understand.

Hey There Everyone!! So, here’s a quick map of my own personal AU version of the fictional Caribbean Island Country of Santa Prisca (a.k.a. “The Homeland of Bane”) from DC Comics that I drew just recently. So, I hope that you all like this & enjoy!!

So yeah….so essentially when it comes down to the actual cities of Santa Prisca, I like to think that each major city has it’s own unique form, function & personality to it such as…

~ A) Los Jardines: The Capital City of Santa Prisca as well as the longstanding seat of the overall political power & influence over the island since the Spanish colonial times.

~ B) Saavedra: A major port city & tourist destination for the island that is best known for it’s lush tropical jungles & white sandy beaches right between the Rio De Oro & Rio De Plata Rivers.

~ C) Salazar: Once a formally beautiful & relatively peaceful fishing city that ultimately turned into a crime-filled & mostly gang-controlled urban wasteland with Zesty Cola being the only source of income for the locals of this once proud city.

~ D) Villalobos: So this particular city has a particularly strange but interesting history behind it as the city is largely considered by locals & tourists as a hotspot for various supernatural activity on the island from UFO’s, Zombies, Werewolves & Vampires.

~ E) Las Colinas: A relatively small mountainous city that sits between the Bartolome Desert & the forested Mountains which was once home to the Island’s former sugar cane, tobacco & marijuana industries.

~ F): Pena Duro: The Notorious Northern City that is known by superheroes around the world for it’s equally infamous maximum security prison of the same name that ultimately serves as the birthplace of the Island’s greatest champion “Bane”!!

Well now I think that I have also became one of Ant lovers. Especially when you wrote that he is ugly, just my type of a guy 😌 what music does Ant like?

Damn, Ant taking the readers away from Jason 🤣. As a child and young adult, he used to love listening to original artists from Santa Prisca.

He has fond memories of dancing with his parents to some old love ballad on the radio. Nowadays, he avoids listening to them for fear of being connected to Santa Prisca and simply because they make him too damn sad.

These days, he lets his coworkers pick the music and bobs his head and taps his foot along with the beat. Sam mostly plays EDM, which Ant hates. Lately though, he's been developing a fondness for it because it reminds Ant of her.

Jolts awake at 1am when bane was plotting to overthrow Batman at the end of secret six he only gave targets that were publicly associated with Batman which means that even while Bane was planning to “break the bat” again by killing “everyone he was close to” he didn’t include Alfred which means that despite himself and his fucky midlife crisis he protected Bruce’s identity until the bitter end

The one where the Gotham rogues are very territorial over their favorite bird

I always thought it was odd how in season one of young justice, neither Bane nor Robin acknowledged that Bane is a Gotham villain when they met on Santa Prisca. So I give u some ideas of the team encountering Gotham rogues and said rogues only giving a shit about Robin bc no one is as good as their little bird. And also if another non-Gotham villain they’re working with tries to do anything to Robin? That’s not gonna fly.

Like just imagine during that first Santa Prisca episode, when they have Bane tied up to a tree or whatever and M’gann is trying to read his mind for information, Bane straight up rolls his eyes at her, and turns to Robin.

“Tell your little sidekick friends not to announce their psychic abilities before actually using them,” Bane scoffs.

And when M’gann immediately responds with, “he’s reciting football scores, en español,” Robin straight up snorts and hides his grin behind his hands. Because come on dude why would you TELL the bad guy you’re gonna read his mind before you actually do it? Amateur move.

“It’s their first real mission,” Robin tells Bane, as if telling him it’s his baby sibling’s first time playing tee ball, an exaggerated grin on his face and his hands clasped by his cheek. Bane can just tell he’s batting his eyelashes behind the mask.

“Clearly.”

And all the others get annoyed because Robin is bantering with the enemy.

“Will you stop encouraging him!” Wally snaps, unsure if he’s directing it towards Bane or Robin.

Bane ends up helping them because he for some strange reason has a soft spot for Robin. Maybe Bane calls him something like murciélago baby, and it makes Robin straight up pout at him. He’s not a baby. He’s a whole teenager now, and Bane knows it.

Robin knew Bane was only going to help them so much, so he’s not shocked when that comes like everyone else is. He just gives Bane an exaggerated salute before running the other direction.

When the creepy Kobra guy is fighting with Robin later on? Bane does not like that. Not one bit. Once the kiddies leave, Bane kicks the crap out him.

In another mission, they have a run in with the Penguin, who just straight up groans when he catches sight of Robin.

“You again!” Robin is smothering an actual giggle at how exasperated Penguin sounds. “Tell the Bat to come deal with me himself!”

“But Uncle Ozzy!” Everyone can hear the grin he has in his face. “Didn’cha miss me? I missed you!”

The team is frozen in their spots, unsure of what angle Robin is trying to play. Also, did he just call the Penguin his uncle? Superboy is trying to figure out if that’s actually his uncle. It would explain why Robin is so short.

And when that thought goes through the mind link, Robin throws an actual birdarang at him. Rude. He’s not short he’s a gymnast and he’s a perfectly respectable height thank you!

The team ends up watching and Robin dances around the warehouse, dodging shots and taking out Penguin’s hired thugs all at the same time. By the time he’s taken them all out, he’s actually beaming as he stands in front of a very frustrated looking Oswald Cobblepot.

“Listen kid,” he somehow sounds fond, exhausted, and gruff all at the same time, “I don’t wanna see your hide around here for at least a month after this, got it? I’ve seen enough of you!”

“Aww, you didn’t miss me?” Robin is twirling Penguin’s umbrella in his hands, and no one can figure out when he snatched it.

“Fine, yes, I missed you. Even though I saw you three nights ago with the Bat!” Penguin now has his hands tied behind his back.

“Yeah but B is a sourpuss, he’s no fun,” Robin chirps. “Our games are much more fun when it’s just us!”

“I’m gonna roast you like a chicken one of these days, bird boy.”

“See! You’d never say that with B around!”

Robin is off to the side now, hacking through Penguin’s phone to find the files he wanted. They’re still going back and forth at each other, and the team is just standing awkwardly around trying to figure out how to be helpful.

“And don’t bring these goody-two-shoes kids around here again!” Penguin snaps at him. “They barely lifted a finger the whole fight, they’re useless!”

“But they’re my friends!”

Artemis scoffs when she realize Robin didnt even try to prove that they arent useless. It passes through their mind link, and Robin turns his head just enough to narrow his eyes at her.

Well then next time don’t make me fucking fight them all by myself, he thinks at them. They at least have the decency to look embarrassed when he points it out.

“Well that was fun!” Robin announces. “The Commish will be by soon to pick up you and your boys. Thanks for playing with me, Uncle Ozzy!”

“Yeah, yeah. See you next time squirt.”

“Can I keep your umbrella?”

“No!”

Robin just shrugs and rolls it under Penguin’s chair. He can hear the police sirens already.

“Well that’s our cue to skedaddle.”

Robin is halfway back to the bioship before the others can shake off the shock of whatever the bell they just witnessed and follow after him.

“How are you so friendly with them?” Wally asks once they’re flying back to the mountain.

Robin shrugs very exaggeratedly.

“Maybe that’s my super power. Did’ja ever think of that?”

“I hate you.”

I can’t rly think of any other specific idea but I do love this premise so so much I think it’s hilarious.

⚣ Badass 👊

⚣👊 A/N → @natef458 Last request from my previous account. Now, I can focus on one inbox (at least for now)! Shorter than what I've normally done, but I wanted to keep it simple. Hope you enjoy it! Tamaranean male image generated by AI. WARNINGS: Canon-Typical Violence | Tamaranean Male Reader | Dick Is Nightwing |

⚣👊 Summary → It's Y/N's first mission as a part of the team since he came to Earth. The Team and their leader Nightwing soon found out just how capable Tamaraneans are in a fight.

⚣👊 Words → 3.3K

REBLOGS & replies are greatly appreciated, please! 💛

Under the harsh glow of the moonlight, the Young Justice team converged around the abandoned warehouse where Vandal Savage and his cronies were holed up. Nightwing was co-leading the mission with Aqualad, coming far in his leadership and skill since they had founded the team along with their friend and teammate Kid Flash, and new friends Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis, and eventually Zatanna.

Many of the original members had grown much from their early days as a part of the team, moving away from their past titles as sidekicks and coming into their own identities as heroes.

One of them was the former sidekick to the Dark Knight, previously known as Robin, who’d realized he wanted to separate himself from Batman and forge his own path and identity. Thus, within a few years after the team’s founding, he left his position and title as Robin and took on the persona of Nightwing.

He’d come a long way from the kid he was before, becoming more of the leader his mentor, and friend Aqualad saw in him. So much so, that the Atlantean had decided to start letting him help co-lead missions, seeing that was their original deal during that first fateful mission on Santa Prisca. And it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Batman had alerted the Team about a new mission concerning Vandal Savage who had just stolen a prototype weapon from a top-secret government facility. This weapon, codenamed "Project Eclipse," was not only a formidable tool of destruction but was clearly another attempt at trying to make humans evolve as a race due to his crazy beliefs in Social Darwinism and survival of the fittest.

By now, the Team knew this could only be the minor puzzle piece to something bigger. But, a weapon of that capability was way too dangerous to be left in his hands. Thus, they were tasked with intercepting Savage and recovering the stolen weapon before he could carry out whatever twisted experiments he had planned.

Only now, their team had grown much larger, bringing in various new members. Some were sidekicks to other heroes a part of the League while others were just regular people who had developed powers and abilities, whether intentionally or not, and were recruited into the team so they could learn how to control them and use them for good.

They’d lost a few along the way, some choosing to leave the team on their own while others had met a different and more grave fate, one of them being the new Robin, Jason Todd, who’d taken Dick’s place after he’d given up the position of Batman’s sidekick. Of course, the team mourned the loss of their fallen teammates, but it didn’t take away from their strength, especially with the other new members who had joined.

One of them being Y/N, an alien refugee who’d made quite the entrance to Earth just two years prior. He’d escaped from the captivity of the Gordanians, an intergalactic race of slavers who’d attacked his home planet, Tamaran, and abducted him as a slave in the process.

But, the slavers were ignorant of the fact that Tamaraneans gained strength from sunlight. So, when traveling closer to Earth within view of the distant sun of the solar system and after encountering the inherent unpredictability of space travel, Y/N seized his opportunity for escape, breaking free from his confines and escaping the vessel.

They’d pursued after him, hot on his trail as he made his way onto Earth, landing in the unsuspecting municipality of Happy Harbor. Unknowingly, but thankful in the end, his arrival had caught the attention of the Young Justice team, whose base was located in the nearby mountain and had come to his rescue.

It’d definitely been an interesting first meeting, considering none of the Team could understand him since he was speaking an alien language they’d never heard of. That’s when Y/N took it upon himself to lock lips with the Boy Wonder, who had yet to give up his identity and position as Batman’s sidekick.

Apparently, Tamaraneans possessed the ability to learn language through skin contact. It didn’t have to be done explicitly through kissing, but they were also a very direct and forward race when it came to their feelings. Being a race ruled more by emotion than reason.

Simply put, Y/N found Dick attractive and planted one on him so he could learn English, much to the then Boy Wonder’s surprise, but also enjoyment. He didn’t know much about Tamaraneans, but, judging by YN’s appearance, it definitely had to be a planet full of attractive people. But, he only had his eyes on one at that moment.

Now, two years later, Y/N had become an integral member of the Young Justice team, his journey from alien refugee to valued ally a testament to his strength and resilience. Despite the initial language barrier and clear cultural differences that in the early stages separated him from his teammates, Y/N had quickly adapted to life on Earth, his determination to learn and grow matched only by his unwavering commitment to the team.

Y/N brought a unique blend of strengths and abilities to the Team, complementing and enhancing the skills of his fellow teammates in various ways. His Tamaranean heritage bestowed upon him powers and abilities that were on par, if not equal, with those of Superboy, making him a formidable force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

Like Superboy, Y/N possessed superhuman strength, allowing him to perform incredible feats of physical prowess and to go toe-to-toe with even the most powerful adversaries. His invulnerability made him virtually indestructible, able to withstand the most devastating attacks without so much as a scratch.

But what truly set Y/N apart was his extreme proficiency in hand-to-hand and weapon combat. Trained from a young age in the art of combat on his home planet of Tamaran, Y/N was a master of various fighting styles and techniques, able to hold his own against opponents of any size or skill level.

In addition to his formidable combat skills, Y/N possessed the ability to generate energy bolts and blasts from his hands and eyes, a power known as star bolts on Tamaran. These powerful energy blasts were capable of incapacitating even the most resilient foes, adding a deadly edge to Y/N's already impressive arsenal of abilities.

Together, Y/N's strength, combat prowess, and energy manipulation abilities made him a major asset to the Young Justice team, capable of turning the tide of battle in their favor with a single well-placed strike. Whether facing off against street-level criminals or cosmic threats, Y/N stood ready to defend his teammates and protect the innocent, his unwavering determination and indomitable spirit serving as a beacon of hope in the darkest of times.

As the Team faced off against Vandal Savage and his henchmen in the abandoned warehouse, the air crackled with tension and anticipation. Nightwing and Aqualad led the charge, their years of experience and leadership guiding the team through the chaotic fray.

Superboy, Miss Martian, and Zatanna with a few of their other teammates had split off to retrieve the stolen weapon, leaving Nightwing, Artemis, Kid Flash, and Y/N to hold off Savage and his goons. The battle was fierce and relentless, with Savage's forces proving to be formidable adversaries.

As Nightwing faced off against Vandal Savage in the dimly lit warehouse, the villain was proving himself to be a most formidable foe. Savage's millennia of combat experience and immortality made him a threatening force, his strength and resilience far surpassing that of any ordinary adversary.

The two circled each other warily, each seeking to gain the upper hand in the deadly dance of combat. Nightwing moved with the grace and precision of a trained acrobat, his nimble movements a stark contrast to Savage's brute force and relentless determination.

With a calculated look, Savage launched himself at Nightwing, his fists crashing down with bone-crushing force. Nightwing barely managed to dodge the blow, rolling to the side and countering with a swift kick to Savage's midsection.

But, he shrugged off the attack as if it were nothing. With a savage grin, he came at Nightwing again delivering multiple strikes that drove the young hero further back towards the edge of defeat.

Even with his own experience and endurance in battle, Nightwing found himself struggling to keep up with the relentless assault. His movements grew sluggish and tired as his body began to succumb to the pain of the attacks, his mind racing as he searched for a way to turn the tide of battle in his favor.

As he staggered back from Vandal Savage's brutal onslaught, his muscles burning with exhaustion and his mind reeling from the relentless barrage of attacks, he knew that he was on the brink of defeat. With Savage bearing down on him, his fists raised for the final, devastating blow, Nightwing braced himself for the inevitable impact, steeling himself for the pain that was sure to follow.

But just as Savage's fist came crashing towards him, a streak of emerald energy shot through the air, intercepting the attack with pinpoint precision. Nightwing's eyes widened in astonishment as he watched Y/N swoop in, his Tamaranean abilities allowing him to move with speed and agility unmatched by any ordinary mortal.

With a powerful surge of energy, Y/N deflected Savage's blow, sending the immortal villain stumbling backward with a grunt of rage and frustration. Nightwing could hardly believe what he was seeing as Y/N stood before him, his expression determined and his eyes blazing with determination.

But the battle was far from over, and Savage wasted no time in launching another furious assault. As he lunged towards Y/N, his hands outstretched for the kill, Y/N met him head-on, his own strength and resilience proving to be more than a match for the immortal foe.

With a swift movement, Savage managed to grab Y/N mid-attack, his grip like iron as he sought to crush the life out of the young hero. As he tightened his grip around the Tamaranean’s midsection, he was despondent to see Y/N unfazed by his move, his expression calm and determined as he looked Savage straight in the eye.

"I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am stronger than I look," Y/N declared, his words resonating with undeniable strength and conviction no matter how soft they were spoken.

As he spoke, a flicker of determination ignited in Y/N's eyes, the vibrant emerald glow intensifying until his eyes shone with a brilliant radiance. The Tamaranean brought his foot back before unleashing a devastating kick to Savage's chest, the force of the blow sending the mastermind staggering back. His expression contorted with pain and surprise despite his strength and healing as he struggled to maintain his footing against the onslaught.

As Savage stumbled backwards, Y/N seized the opportunity to press his advantage, launching a relentless barrage of attacks that left the immortal villain struggling to keep up. Meanwhile, Superboy, Miss Martian, and Zatanna had succeeded in securing and disabling the prototype weapon, turning the tide of battle in their favor.

As the battle raged on and the rest of the team rallied to their side, they watched in awe as the Tamaranean held his own against Savage and his goons, his strength and resilience shining through with every strike.

He was relentless, pressing his advantage with unwavering determination as he launched into a relentless barrage of attacks. Each strike fueled by an inner fire and a fierce determination to protect his teammates and emerge victorious against the forces of evil.

Also, no one was allowed to lay hands on his leader like that without repercussions. Vandal truly did not know who he was fucking with.

As Nightwing watched Y/N in the heat of battle, a wave of admiration washed over him, mingled with a sense of awe that bordered on reverence. His eyes traced the contours of his form, noting the fluid grace with which he moved and the unwavering determination etched upon his features.

In the flickering light of the warehouse, the Tamaranean seemed to glow with an inner fire, his emerald eyes ablaze with determination as he faced off against the immortal menace of Vandal Savage. Nightwing couldn't help but be captivated by the sight, drawn to the raw strength and resilience that seemed to emanate from Y/N's very being.

But it wasn't just his physical prowess that impressed Nightwing. It was the strength of his spirit, the unwavering resolve that burned brightly within him even in the face of overwhelming odds. There was something undeniably magnetic about Y/N, something that stirred a longing within Nightwing's heart that he couldn't quite put into words.

With a determined nod, he rose to his feet, his own resolve renewed as he prepared to join the fray once more.

Together, Nightwing and Y/N fought with a synchronicity that bordered on instinct, their movements fluid and coordinated as they launched a devastating assault on Savage and his forces. As they drove their adversaries back, the rest of the team rallied to their side, their collective strength and determination proving to be more than a match for the forces of evil.

As the battle raged on, Nightwing couldn't help but feel a stirring of something deeper than mere admiration. There was a connection between him and Y/N, a bond that transcended words and defied explanation. It was as if they were two halves of a whole, each complementing the other in ways that went beyond the battlefield.

In that moment, as they fought side by side against their foes, the acrobat couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to truly be with the Tamaranean, to share in the triumphs and trials of life as partners, as equals, as something more.

But for now, he pushed those thoughts aside, focusing instead on the task at hand. There would be time to explore the depths of his feelings later. For now, he fought alongside Y/N with a renewed sense of purpose, his heart filled with admiration and longing for the alien hero who had captured his attention in more ways than one.

Y/N used his incredible strength and ability of flight to help launch Nightwing into the air, while Nightwing used his light and agile nature to deliver a series of lightning-fast blows against the villain. Together, they worked to bring the villain to his knees, their combined efforts finally proving to be too much for the immortal.

As Savage finally admitted defeat with a promise and retreated into the shadows, the Young Justice team stood victorious, proud and relieved smiles etched onto their faces from their hard-earned victory. They all surrounded their co-leader and teammate, making sure he was okay while praising Y/N for his prowess in his battle with Savage.

"Dude! That was like total badass moves out there!" Kid Flash exclaimed, his eyes wide with awe.

"Yeah, I know you've been on the team for a while now, but I haven't seen a more well-deserved ass whooping like that in a while," Artemis agreed, her lips curling into a smirk.

"It truly was a sight to behold. Well done, Y/N," Aqualad added, his voice tinged with pride.

"I'm so glad you're both safe," Miss Martian added, relief evident in her voice.

"Yeah, that was a close call," Superboy chimed in, his expression serious.

Nightwing couldn't help but chuckle at their enthusiastic praise, his gaze drifting to Y/N. The Tamaranean smiled, his eyes sparkling with appreciation and gratitude at the praise.

"Thank you. Though, I think my friend here is deserving of just as much credit," he replied, gesturing to the former Boy Wonder.

"Oh, no, you definitely did most of the heavy lifting," Nightwing insisted, shaking his head. "If it weren't for you, I would've been a goner."

"I do not know about that. You were holding your own quite well before I arrived. But, we make a good team, do we not?" Y/N mused, his smile widening.

"Yeah, we do," Nightwing agreed, his cheeks flushing slightly at the compliment.

"And now we know, the next time we need to save our butts, just throw Nightwing into mortal danger and Y/N goes into god mode," Kid Flash teased, breaking the mood.

"Dude!" Nightwing hissed, punching his best friend on the arm.

"Yeah, payback, Robby-Poo," Kid Flash, still using his old nickname for his friend despite his name change.

"Well, we should probably head back to headquarters. We need to get this weapon back to the cave," Aqualad interjected, ever the voice of reason.

"Sounds good to me," Superboy agreed, already heading for the exit.

As the Team made their way out of the warehouse, a warm feeling settled over Nightwing's chest, his gaze lingering on the Tamaranean. There was no doubt in his mind that they would continue to make a great team, both on and off the battlefield.

"Hold on a sec, Y/N. We'll be right behind you, guys!" Nightwing called out to his teammates.

The rest of the team shared a knowing glance, a few snickers, and suggestive grins exchanged between them. But they didn't say anything, opting instead to give their friends some privacy.

Except KF who was giving the vigilante a thumbs-up and a wink.

Nightwing rolled his eyes and shook his head, but the blush didn't fade.

Once they were alone, Y/N turned his attention to the former Boy Wonder, his expression curious.

"Is everything okay, Dick? Are you still hurt?" He asked, voice lilting with curiosity.

The acrobat tried not to blush at Y/N's use of his name, the way it rolled off his tongue like liquid gold. Even though they were technically still in the field and should be addressing each other by their alias names, he didn't mind it. Not one bit.

"No, no, I'm fine. Really. Just wanted to say thank you," Nightwing assured, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"For what? Defeating Vandal Savage?" Y/N questioned, confusion written across his features.

"Well, yeah, that, too. But, I meant, thank you for saving me," Nightwing explained, his tone growing soft.

"Oh," Heat growing under the Tamaranean's golden cheeks.

"I'm not gonna lie, I was worried for a second. But, then you came swooping in and turned the tables. I knew I was safe," the acrobat confessed, his gaze locking with the Tamaranean's.

"You are most welcome. It was an honor to fight alongside you. I would not have let any harm come to you, Dick," Y/N replied, his expression earnest, though he wanted to say more.

Ever since he came to Earth, he'd grown into the Earthling culture, which meant he was a lot less direct with his feelings, which proved to be much more frustrating than he thought. Especially when it came to expressing the lingering feelings he had for his leader.

"Yeah, I know. Thanks," the acrobat said, offering a small smile.

"Of course," the Tamaranean responded, returning the gesture.

"We should probably get going. The others are waiting for us," Nightwing pointed out, though he didn't want the moment to end.

"Yes, they are," Y/N agreed, a hint of reluctance in his voice.

"Maybe after we're finished filing our reports and debriefing, we can hang out? Catch up on things, or whatever," the acrobat suggested, his heart racing in his chest.

"I would like that," the Tamaranean replied, his cheeks flushing pink.

"Cool," Nightwing nodded, trying his best not to grin like an idiot.

"Yes. Cool, indeed," Y/N echoed, his eyes sparkling with gleefulness.

"You two coming or what? Let's go," Kid Flash yelled from the warehouse entrance.

"Yeah, yeah, we're coming!" Nightwing called back, rolling his eyes.

With a final shared smile, the two heroes made their way toward their teammates, the promise of a new beginning and a blossoming relationship hanging in the air.

𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐏 195-masterlist

CARIBBEAN SEA July 22, 20:08

"We're approaching Santa Prisca," Megan says while piloting the ship. Everyone was in their hero suits. You sigh, thinking and trying to remember what would happen here. If your memories were clear and perfect, in your "first mission" with the team, and if your notes were correct, today you would face both Bane and Kobra. You know exactly who they are. In previous timelines, you fought Bane during one of the missions, which resulted in your neck being broken. But that didn't kill you—oh no. The only way you could die was by yourself, by the collar, as you like to call it. In other timelines, Bane also broke Robin's ribs before smashing his skull. In others, he simply snapped Kaldur's neck. And in many others, he did much worse in timelines that no longer exist—erased the moment you reset everything, eliminating yourself.

"Landing Zone A in thirty minutes. Setting Bio-Ship to stealth mode," the green woman says, but all you can think about is what to do with Bane. Your fists clench, your eyes widen with rage. You lost a lot of time because of that man. At home, before heading to the cave, you remember looking for ways to get rid of the obstacle, the enemy of your game. Some were pretty horrible, others just simple. But now, you had to focus—push down the hatred, swallow it, feeling the venom build up in your stomach more and more.

"Landing Zone B." You stand up, just like everyone else, with the chair disappearing and now a belt dropping from the ceiling of the ship. You fasten it to your uniform before sliding your fingers across your throat like a slicing motion, and your uniform changes to camouflage mode. You hear flirting—just ignore it. Focus on the mission was the most important thing. With that, you jump out first, exiting the ship and already removing the belt. "Aqualad. Drop B is ready," Megan says over the comms, which you also hear through your own as the man from Atlantis responds immediately: "Head to the factory. I'll track your GPS and meet you as quickly as possible."

"Understood," Robin says, showing the map before everyone follows the boy, passing through a forest and then under the waterfall. You could've found the night view beautiful if you hadn't already been here before, finding it unbearable and considering this the most boring mission of all. "Did you hear that?" the clone says, looking around before everyone responds: "Uh, no."

"Wait, is that a super-hearing thing?" Wally asks, turning to the boy before you roll your eyes. "No, imagine, he doesn't even have ears—ha!" you say sarcastically, walking past Megan who was about to say something, probably about Superboy having ears, but you just raise your hand to silence her. "Sarcasm, dumbass," you say, already sighing.

"Well... I think you have great ears," Megan says to Superboy, blushing and looking at him dreamily, making you mime a vomiting gesture. The only one who sees it is Wally, who shakes his head before turning to speak to the prodigy. "Okay, Rob, now what?" Looking around, the boy doesn't see Robin anywhere. He gets frustrated before stomping his foot. "Man, I hate when he does that." You open your yo-yo, showing where Robin is. You're not crazy enough to let that spoiled brat with protagonist syndrome screw something up alone. Noticing Megan wants to see it, you just give her a stern glare, making her back off. "Superboy, Kid. Switch to infrared. See if you're being tracked." You also take the opportunity to look at the yo-yo, checking for people nearby, thanking Reijiichiro who made your yo-yo work not just with tech and internet but also with magic. The yo-yo screen shows the area near you like a radar, displaying people approaching from both sides.

"I've got a squad of armed clowns coming in," Kid Flash says while looking through the forest, spotting some armed people approaching. "Two squads," Superboy adds, looking in another direction.

"But they'll meet each other before they find us," Wally says with a slight joking tone before everyone crouches behind an old log. You look at the redhead, waiting for him to run. You take the yo-yo string and tie it to the boy's feet until you hear him say, "Yeah, yeah. As soon as I find Rob." As he runs at full speed, the yo-yo string gets pulled, and you get up, running in the other direction, raising your hand. "This way." The rest follows you. You count how many steps the boy has likely taken before yanking the yo-yo string hard. At that moment, the boy, who was slipping in the mud, was about to fall into the center of the battle—if you hadn't pulled quickly, making him literally get dragged and thrown. You use him like a flail, throwing him into Kobra cultists, who collapse, already unconscious. "Ahh, that hurt," Wally says from atop the boys. You pull the yo-yo, untying it from him. "You're welcome, you little shit." You still whack him on the head with the yo-yo before opening it and pulling out some strings. "Miss Martian, Superboy, keep an eye out for incoming enemies." Kicking Kid Flash away from the enemies, you pull each of them, tying them to a nearby tree before using the hard part of the yo-yo to hit pressure points on their bodies, knocking them out completely. It would take them a while to wake up.

"Ugh, what was that for, babe?!" Wally says while holding his stomach where you kicked him, but you just sigh before pulling a bar from your yo-yo and tossing it into the boy's hands. "Well, thanks, but I was going after Robin, you know? I had everything under control," Wally says, but you don't care, using the yo-yo and throwing it into the trees before yanking the prodigy boy to the ground, who groans in pain. "Don't whine, you spoiled brat," you say before watching Kaldur arrive. "What's wrong with you? Remember stealth? Why didn't you follow my lead?" The boy says, standing up, watching you pull the yo-yo and store it. Wally sighs, standing and eating the bar you gave him earlier. "Was that what you were doing? Hmm. Nice way of telling us." Wally swallows the bar, about to throw the wrapper on the ground before seeing you asking for it. He hands it to you, and you store it in the yo-yo to toss it later.

"We don't read minds, you know?" the redhead says, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand before hearing a cough. Looking to see who made it, he notices Megan did it. He sighs before looking at Robin and pointing at Megan. "Well... at least I don't." "You told me I could only read minds—" Megan is interrupted when Robin approaches, speaking over her, not even noticing the girl pouting slightly after being interrupted. "I recognize these uniforms. They belong to the Cult of Kobra."

"I'm sure Batman would've mentioned it... if he knew a dangerous extremist was running the Santa Prisca Venom operation," Kaldur says, approaching Robin and looking at the unconscious group. "I agree. And since clearly there's no love lost between the cultists and those goons... I bet Kobra came and drove them out. That's why the normal supply lines were cut." Kid Flash arrives clapping, already satisfied, as he approaches the two. "Case closed. Kobra wanted super cultists. Mystery solved, we tell Batman and we're home in time for—"

"These cultists aren't taking Venom. Kobra's stockpiling the drug... We're not leaving... not until I know why." Robin cuts Kid Flash off, already stepping into the protagonist role, which is annoying you. "Until you know why?" Wally says, bending down to look at the prodigy. "This team needs a leader." "And it WON'T BE YOU," you say, already stepping in and pointing at the boy who was about to say something more, but you immediately cut him off. "You're nothing but a spoiled boy with protagonist syndrome who thinks that just because you're Batman's sidekick, you deserve to be like him!" Robin blushes slightly in embarrassment, looking away with a pout. "I'm the closest we've got to him." "No, you're not," you say before pointing a finger at the boy's chest. "You screwed the mission the moment you vanished without saying a damn thing. Your irresponsibility could've ruined everything! You think you're Batman, but you're immature. If you want to be a leader, then be one—but be your own leader, not of this team. Because if it's to have an immature, irresponsible leader who thinks he's the main character, then it's better to have none at all." Finished, you raise your head, the shadow hiding your eyes. You then walk away, looking at everyone. "We won't have a leader. If we're to choose one, let it be at the cave, not in the middle of a mission. Until then, do your roles and complete the objective. I don't want dead weight on my back." Kaldur puts a hand on your shoulder, which you slap away, making him withdraw. He turns and approaches the team to go over the plan, wearing a face that's both guilty and a little sad.

"¡Mira, están discutiendo! ¡¡Libérate y capturarlos mientras están distraídos!" you hear while looking at your team, pretending not to listen to anything. "¡callarse la boca! Ahora por el momento voy a jugar, me van a dar lo que necesito," you smile slightly while listening. A good thing about going back in time so many times is that you learned a lot of foreign languages, you became, if not already, a polyglot. This time Bane would be your prey, and it was time for you to become the hunter.

"que niños expertos" Bane laughs while looking at the team. "But you only know half the story. Let me show you the rest... I'll take you to the factory through my secret entrance," he says in a serious and confident tone, laughing. The team looks at him suspiciously, while you are facing away from everything, now with a neutral face, you turn to look at the team, observing Megan approaching Bane. "There's a secret entrance... But he's also hiding something," with that, she places her hand on her head before trying to read Bane's mind, who just laughs at the girl. "Ah, ah, ah, Chica... Bane is not that easy," the man smiles victoriously while Megan just sighs and says "He's mentally reciting the football results... In Spanish... This could take a while."

"It's not complicated... The enemy of my enemy is my friend." The team looks at each other before you approach passing by them. "Alright.." you say while Megan steps aside, giving you space. You approach to untie the man, and with the man free, you turn to restrain the rest of his thugs, leaving only Bane free. You approach before whispering to one of his thugs in Spanish. When he was about to scream, you quickly knock him out, getting up as if nothing had happened, without anyone noticing what was going on.

"The answers are here." Bane says before moving a stone out of the way of a tunnel before entering. "So now El Luchador is our leader," Robin gives the boy a slap on the head before following the man. You enter last, leaning against the wall and running your fingers along where you passed, reaching a door that the man kindly opens. With the door half open, Bane looks before looking down, observing Robin. "Everything clear." he says before running out. Now inside the facility, the team walks before stopping to see if anyone is nearby. "Has that idiot been caught yet?" Bane comments while observing and not seeing the prodigy boy anywhere. "No. He just does that," Kaldur comments before Wally smiles, putting on his glasses before poking you. You slap his hand before touching, with him saying proudly "I'll get our information and return before the Prodigy Boy." With that, he runs off, with Kaldur trying to stop him, but it's too late. He sighs, making Bane smile. "Great chain of command."

"Aqualad, sending a telepathic image of the buyer now." Megan says in Aqualad's mind. He places his fingers on his head before opening his eyes and looking at you and Superboy. "Sports Master. He's the buyer," the boy says before touching his ear communicator. "Aqualad to Red Tornado, are you hearing?" Only a static noise could be heard, showing a defect in the radio. "I can't talk to the League, Robin, or Kid... The communication is jammed. We need a plan, now!" Aqualad says, turning to the team before Bane smiles behind the boy and says in a serious and confident tone, "I have a suggestion."

Bane jumps, knocking down some of Kobra's thugs. With that, the Mammoth, an abomination that Kobra created, jumps out of the window, knocking down where you, Aqualad, and Superboy were. With a quick move, you attach your yo-yo to the beam and pull yourself up, watching the battle below. When you see that Sports Master is about to throw a spear at Miss Martian, you pull her foot with the yo-yo, making her avoid the spear explosion. She looks at you, regaining control of her flight. She throws a thank-you before shaking her head, to which you don't pay much attention, pulling the yo-yo, which detaches from her. You open the yo-yo before showing her a message and saying, "Open a mental communication with everyone!" which she obeys. Of course, you sighed with the pain but remained silent while closing the yo-yo. With everyone running to the tunnel from where they came, you were the last one. You close it before placing a ball on the door.

The monster tries to break in but is hit by an unbearable shockwave. Even so, they invade, and you stay behind, watching and smiling while observing the team run. But it wasn't a happy or good smile; it was a malicious one. When the monster tries to attack you, you say in a strong tone, making the vibrations of your voice more resistant, "eliminate your team" You dodge the punch, making it spin and punch one of its own henchmen. You grab the man's mask, and with that, you run, watching the team shoot the monster. You find the team, who were talking to Robin. You go back to your neutral face before seeing Bane there at the entrance with a button in his hand. "Parados niños, Estoy me siento explosivo." You look at Bane while the others look at the bombs above. "Goodbye and thanks for helping me," Bane laughs before pressing the button, but his laugh freezes when he no longer feels his body moving, stopping altogether.

"What? What's happening?" Bane says while watching the team, who looks at him in shock. You pass by the team, smiling. "Ah, like stealing candy from kids."

"(hero)?" Kaldur says before you clean your hand and walk out of the tunnel in front of the man. "What are we waiting for? Let's go?" you say before the team slowly leaves the tunnel. You smile at Bane. "¡Fuiste un idiota al subestimarme, pequeña mierda patética! Muere lentamente con el veneno en el escroto." With that, you jump and punch the man in the face, making him fall.

"(hero) what's going on?" Wally says, but you just smile before walking. "Let's go."

"But what about Kobra?" Wally says before watching the helicopter in the air explode with the load. "Dude! How are we going to explain this to Batman?" Robin says, but you smile before pulling your yo-yo and opening it. "No need, he's been listening since the beginning. The plan was very simple. Before we even left for the mission, I placed a recorder on each of you without you realizing it. It transmitted each one, even when alone, live to Batman in the cave."

"But how? There was no signal," Kaldur says, confused, looking at you. "Simple, I connected to the same frequency as the installation's radio, while also hiding our presence. Every second, every word from you, even when separated, was being transmitted to Batman right now." You approach Bane, smiling. "He was also easy. Since I knew about your plan, it was easy. When I untied him, I ended up injecting a paralyzing poison into him."

"But what about Kobra? The Sports Master? The bomb?" you take Bane's bomb control and shake it, showing a sample of the control. "It was simple. I told one of his thugs that I had put deadly poison in them. Then, I asked them to do me a favor. While you guys were fighting, one of the members disguised himself as Kobra's thug, placed the real explosive on the helicopter, then replaced the controls. The control Bane had doesn't even work. The planted bombs? Hahaha, they don't work. And to make it even better, now Kobra thinks, well... Bane and his gang tried to destroy his plans, while Sports Master thinks it was Kobra himself!" you say before observing the man below, unconscious, leaving the team behind you, shocked.

When you arrive at the cave, the team faces Batman, looking down in guilt. You approach the man, extending the flask to him. "Thank you very much," you say. "I could understand the mission well. A simple reconnaissance mission. Observe and report. Each of you will receive a written evaluation detailing your many mistakes. Until then, good job." The team members are shocked as they watch the man leave and disappear. You shrug before picking up the mask you took during the mission and throwing it to Wally, who catches it, surprised. With a neutral tone, you say, "Here's your souvenir." You walk away, ready to pack your things and leave, hearing the redhead shout, "Cool! Souvenir!"
