Koriand'r spotted Steph over by the refreshments table and sighed with relief. She had been wandering around for the last ten minutes, making polite conversation and dodging older men who looked at her chest more than her face. Kori was familiar with Steph in the way that most heroes knew each other--through patrols. She always had a soft spot for the blonde; it wasn't easy to be the child of a villain. Kori's father wasn't a villain to some, but selling her to the Citadel when she was a child made him a villain in her story. "Stephanie," Koriand'r said brightly in way of greeting. "I hope you are having a better time than I am."

ANOTHER EARTH, FILE 001 – BATMAN
Circa 1996-2003 – ‘BRUCE WAYNE’S TERRIBLE HORRIBLE NO-GOOD VERY BAD DECADE’
The turn of the century is bad for everybody in a world where there’s a new catastrophe every week, but for Batman especially, this is a rough stretch. To this point, all of the despotic alien dictators and insane transdimensional imps have been haranguing Superman, up the coast in Metropolis, But in 1996, the Thanagarian Invasion of Earth occurs, and the Justice League is shaken to is very core. In 1997, Grayson trades up to Nightwing, and Bruce takes on a new Robin, the young Jason Todd, who is definitely going to be fine don’t worry about it.
This'un is a doozy, truly comic-tier explanation below the cut.
In 1998, shit hits the fan for Batman specifically. Surprise! The Joker kills Jason Todd while perpetrating a scheme outside of the US, right as Bruce and Jason are on the cusp of truly bonding as father and son. A couple months later, the Joker reappears in Gotham and cripples Barbara Gordon, then-Batgirl and also the daughter of Commissioner James Gordon, one of Batman’s staunchest allies. The Joker’s sudden and somewhat inexplicable slide from dangerous, but goofy, crime gimmicks into genuine stochastic terrorism sets off a chain reaction amongst Gotham’s gallery of rogues. In 1999, at around the one-year-mark of Jason’s death, Tim Drake convinces Bruce to accept him as the new Robin after reverse-engineering Batman’s secret identity.
And in 2000, a new and dangerous foe emerges to challenge Batman, self-styled as Batman’s greatest foe – his bane, if you will. It’s Bane. And Bane breaks the bat. During Bruce’s recovery period, he selects Azrael to fill in for him. Azrael, as an unstable zealot at the best of times, ultimately defeats Bane but also does real damage to Bruce’s personal sphere; between the death of Robin II and Bruce choosing to keep his infirmity a secret from his coworkers in the Justice League and subsequent confusion around just who was in the bat-suit during this period, Batman’s reputation takes a substantial black eye at every level, and Bruce starts to cut himself off from friends and family.
In 2002, a massive earthquake hits the United States’ eastern seaboard, with the epicenter just barely offshore of Gotham City. The city is plunged into absolute chaos due to extreme structural damage to a huge portion of Gotham’s downtown area; the island on which most of the city is built is cut off from the mainland, and the federal government evacuates about 75% of Gotham’s civilian population. The remaining 25% of civilians are basically left to die, as the government declares Gotham City a federal No-Man’s Land, locking down its border. Warring supervillain factions and desperate militarized police forces are eventually brought to heel… by Bane, who takes over Gotham in the confusion.
Bruce returns to Gotham with Catwoman and finally defeats Bane personally, bringing an expanded Bat-Family to bear and restoring his public image. He also internalizes, finally, the value of relying on other people. He takes a liking to the new Batgirl who emerges during this trial, Cassandra Cain, and formally establishes ties to Stephanie Brown (briefly Robin, currently Spoiler). Simultaneously, Lex Luthor leverages a metric fuck-ton of political influence to get Gotham’s borders reopened, using the positive publicity to get a pardon of past crimes from the President and undetake a Senatorial campaign.
The suit reflects how utterly fucked Batman’s life is during this period of time. Battered, frayed, with armor plating literally strapped on where old pieces have been damaged or torn off. The tech boom resulting from the Thanagarian Invasion has begun to hit every layer of civilian life at this point, which means villains are starting to get more and crazier gadgets and Batman is forced to keep up. Stylistically it takes inspiration from late-80s/early-90s Batman suits; it’s also the debut of my solution to the costume boyshorts ‘problem’ (I don’t necessarily think it’s a problem, mind you) – Thigh highs!

the ghost of you // self para
WHO: Jason Todd & Stephanie Brown. Mentions of Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Ra’s al Ghul, Tim Drake.
WORD COUNT: 3159 words.
LOCATION: Wayne Manor.
GENERAL NOTES: Jason comes to visit Steph finally at the manor. Steph tells him what she knows. A self para with a sprinkling of technically self-interaction! Jason angsts. We all cry.
WARNINGS: Mentions of past death, injuries, anxiety, past trauma, violence, blood.
Jason hated being in the manor more than anything. There were too many ghosts. Too many foggy memories that made his chest tighten with a storm of emotions that he didn’t want to name. It loomed over him like it did back when he was a foot shorter and daunted by the fact that Bruce could change his mind at any moment. Even older and taller than he was back then it still feels daunting, the anxiety was already threatening to make him turn tail and run, but he had to do this. If not for Steph herself, but Tim.
The mere thought of Tim made Jason grimace, like poking at a sleeping bear with a stick his anger was reignited with a fury. The green that always lingered in the back of his mind seemed to perk up, circling like a shark. He had to take a few even deep breaths, fingers curled up into two tight fists before he could feel the anger and green smoke recede back. The combination of his unresolved anger at his brother’s disappearance and the anxiety and bad blood the manor brought was likely a disaster waiting to happen. Regardless, Jason trucked on. He had to. He would.
Opening the door to the manor Jason surveyed the long, seemingly quiet hallways. It was like getting slapped in the face with nostalgia. Half memories he could somewhat recall. There were some happy ones, like trying on the Robin suit for the first time. Him jumping out from behind the batcomputer and scaring Alfred, laughing in utter excitement and claiming it was the best day of his life. The nights he would sit in the kitchen and read while eating whatever cookies Alfred had made. The feeling of finally belonging. There were bad memories too. Screaming matches with Bruce, too many ‘I’m not Dick!’s thrown around. Too many plans made with Dick that were left abandoned, Jason hoping and staying too close to the phone only to be met with silence. Lashing out at Dick as he reached the end of his very short line of patience with him, going as far to break formation in their sparring session to bite the older Robin’s arm.
Dick still had a scar on his arm from the incident.
The anxiety stayed a constant presence, each step up the long manor stairs feeling all too dread inducing. The silence in the manor was something that Jason hated more than anything, even as a kid. It was so big and so quiet. The silence was always broken anytime Dick actually visited, whether it was broken by his squabbles with Bruce, or the pair of them actually laughing and enjoying video games or movies together. Other than that the silence was broken by him, making his presence bigger and louder. Constantly he was yelling, being reprimanded by the butler for shouting at inappropriate times, the laughter whenever he and Alfred would cook dinner together. If he didn’t make extra noise then Jason would drown in the silence, the cold the silence brought as the cavern between him and Bruce grew and grew, all before he even had died and it had become a grand canyon between them.
It was just one foot after the other. Simple, right? Wrong.
Each step brought ghosts, memories he didn’t want. Flickers of memories that haunted the man every time something triggered it. Passing the library, days and nights spent in there, reading all he could and perking up anytime Bruce entered, giving him a book suggestion. The time spent there together, reading in silence and feeling the smile that would play at his lips as he did, constantly aware of the man’s presence. It was their own form of bonding, it didn’t leave Jason no matter how hard he tried to forget it. The hope it gave him that led him to believe he actually could have a father. A family.
A shudder wracked through Jason’s body and he pushed forward, trying not to linger outside the library. A closed, all too familiar door, had him stopping in his tracks once more. His stomach lurched as he found his feet bringing him to the door, hand laying flat against the cool wood and staring at the doorknob like it’d open itself.
His room. His old bedroom. If it wasn’t locked, Jason was sure that if he opened up that door it would be just how he had left it before it all. His clothes all folded and tucked away in the wardrobe drawers. His textbook lay on the desk collecting dust. The mere thought had Jason grimacing and staggering back, immediately looking away. Ghosts. It was a thought that had made itself repeatedly known the moment he stepped onto the Wayne Manor grounds. There was a piece of this place that wouldn’t ever leave him, no matter how far he traveled. It’d always be a part of him, as much as he despised it.
Jason knew what room Steph was in, had been lamenting on it, whether he wanted to even do this, but ultimately pushed through. It wasn’t hard to figure she’d be holed up in Tim’s room. It didn’t take the skills of a Robin to know that she’d be in his room. As far as he knew of, Steph hadn’t seen many people save for those in the manor currently. Refusing to see anyone, staying silent on the groupchat end. He didn’t blame her. This trauma was something Jason was entirely too familiar with.
(The sound of maniacal cackling echoed in his head, phantom pains of bones breaking and sticky blood beneath his body caused Jason to shudder.)
It wasn’t something you could get over within a few days. Months even. She was grieving and processing trauma she endured all in one sitting. That could knock even the most trained bat kids on their ass. There’s only so much you can compartmentalize before it's all spilling over and you��re cracking and breaking at every seam. Maybe it comes out in anger like it did with Jason. Or maybe it came out in agonizing sadness. Whatever Jason was about to walk into, he was more than wary to see what state the Gotham girl was in. Scared that he may just see entirely too much of himself reflected back in her.
Approaching the door, Jason hesitated in his approach. He didn’t like feeling like this, off balance. The manor did that to him, left him unstable and on shaky ground that never stopped moving underneath his feet. A heavy sigh left the man and he scowled, finally making a decision and moving forward, turning the doorknob in his hand and entering the bedroom. The sight of the evidence walls was what Jason registered first, entirely too amazed at how chaotic Tim’s brain seemed to work. He was constantly analyzing, thinking, moving. That was reflected in the evidence thrown up on his walls. Then his green eyes moved to the unmoving lump buried under the comforter on the former Robin’s bed, a tuft of blonde hair sticking out near the pillows.
“Your footsteps don’t sound like Alfred. Too light to be Bruce’s, but too heavy to be Dick’s. So I can only assume it’s Jason.”
Steph’s voice startled Jason slightly, hand gripping the doorknob entirely too tight as he stared into the bedroom and hovered in the doorway. He didn’t know what to say. What do you say in these situations? You would think he’d be an expert on this, how to deal with trauma from torture and yet.
“Look at you. You still got those Robin trained ears.” Jason’s voice sounded stilted against the silence of the room.
“Not Robin anymore, or Batgirl. Or Spoiler even.”
Jason frowned at that, finally fully entering the room and shutting the door behind him quietly. He grabbed the desk chair at Tim’s unoccupied desk and sat down, wheeling it closer to the bedside but still staying a slight distance away to give her the space she may want. Her back was still to him, unmoving, not even shifting to look at him when he sat down.
“What does that mean?”
A sharp sigh, irritation bleeding into the girl’s tone in an instant, “what do you think it means, Jason? I’m nothing. I’m hanging up the suit. I’m burning it, whatever I can do to get it away from me. What good am I as a vigilante, as some makeshift hero, if I can’t even save Tim?” The tremble was clear in her voice now, body seeming to follow suit in the way it was now shaking beneath the covers. “I was like a lamb sent to the slaughter. I made it so easy for them to get me and use me as a pawn so he could get to Tim. How am I supposed to believe I can help people like that? I let Tim get sent off to his death, Jason.”
Her words had Jason alarmed in an instant. Death?
“Stephanie, you didn’t do anything. Ra’s al Ghul is one fucked up old ass man with a lot of experience and power at his fingertips. He would’ve done something, anything, to get to Tim one way or another, even if it meant not using you to get to him. You didn’t send him off to his death, I don’t—” Jason let out a harsh breath, running his hands through his hair and causing entirely too many strands to stick up every which way in a chaotic mess. “How would you have sent him off to his death? You didn’t do anything to cause that, Stephanie. We will find him. You know we won’t stop until we do.”
The silence grew, tension palpable in the air of the room and then finally, the lump that Jason had been talking to moved. Steph hissed and shifted to turn to look at him head on, tugging the blanket down and moving enough that she was propped up somewhat against the stack of pillows behind her. Jason took in the purple and yellowing bruises on her face, the bandage covering her cheek. The finger shaped bruises that were healing on her chin and neck were enough to cause his stomach to roll, a flare of anger igniting in his chest. There was a peak of a bandage from the collar of her sweater that was laid over her collarbone. Ra’s clearly did a number on her, it made Jason grimace. The poor kid.
“He took him, Jason.” Steph started, swallowing hard and tears shining in her tired eyes. “He wanted him. He kept going on about his obsession with Tim, that he wanted him and that’s why he used me. That Tim would yield to him because—” a broken sob left Stephanie’s mouth and before Jason registered it, his calloused fingers closed around hers and squeezed, her smaller hand trembling in his. “—because he wanted to save me, a girl that he thought he could have even though...even though Ra’s had already ‘laid claim’. He’s with him, Jason. Wherever Ra’s is, that is where you’ll find Tim.”
She looked exhausted. The words having taken a toll on her already bruised and battered body. Jason’s mind was going fast, taking in all the information the girl had offered up to him. His hand squeezed her own and he swallowed hard. That was more information than any of them had. He could work with that. He could get Tim back, or try to at least.
“He’ll expect you.”
Stephanie’s words had Jason faltering, looking at her face with a furrowed brow, “what do you mean?”
“The bats. I’m sure he’ll expect us. We’re his family. Of course we’d go after him. We’re just some trained vigilantes he’s come up against before. He has his knowledge on us already, I have no doubts about that. So how do we get around that? How do we get an edge against, as much as I fucking loathe to admit, an incredibly intelligent man?”
The thought posed a good question, Jason at a loss of an answer and merely shook his head, looking to Steph to see where she was going with this.
“Would he be expecting powered individuals who care just as much for Tim as we do?” Steph finally asked and in a moment it clicked, Jason sitting up fully with wide eyes.
“You want to have his old team help save him.”
Steph nodded. It was a valid thought. It was the bare bones of a plan, an idea barely if he was honest. Despite the clear anguish and pain in the girl’s features there was a fire that burned in her eyes, one he recognized in his own gaze, in Tim’s. It came with the territory of being a Gotham kid, of seeing this city in all its ugly glory and still loving it with everything you had in you. No matter how many times it beat you down, unrelenting and merciless in the pain it dealt upon you, you still came back. You still called it home, nowhere would compare, no matter how hard you tried. It was different for those who weren’t born here, grew up in its grungy streets and was brought up in the belly of the beast.
Sure, Dick grew up there to a degree, but he didn’t really get it. Not in Jason’s mind at least. Tim got it, of course he did. He was a Gotham boy, born and raised, but he and Steph understood it differently. They saw the streets, the ugly and violence that you had to wade your way through, trusting yourself before anyone else. Jason came out jaded, guarded and all too quick to throw out harsh and angry words to keep people at arm’s length. Steph on the other side of the coin was warm and loud, personality filling up a room in an instant to fill up the emptiness she felt and mistrust she quietly hid behind big smiles and sarcastic quips. That mistrust stayed with you, no matter how long you hadn’t been fighting your way through Gotham’s shady underworld.
What also stayed with you was a fire that no matter how dim it got, stayed lit. Gotham could break your spirits, your bones, your everything, but you’d still come back kicking and screaming. All Gothamites did. That was the fire that Jason saw in Steph’s eyes, the determination that was attempting to trump the trauma and fear she clearly felt. Despite how much pain and emotional trauma she had been put through with her time spent at Ra’s hands, she was still determined to get Tim back. It was a sentiment that Jason could return.
The thought of being anywhere close to the man had shivers running up Jason’s spine. The thought that they both shared the pit rage and the effects of it made him sick. He never wanted anything in common with that man. To think that he could lash out in a similar way to the villain painted a grimace upon his face. There were nights he wondered if the old fuck ever agonized over it like he did. If he felt out of control when that green haze crept to the forefront of his brain and took over, painting everything an angry, ugly shade of green that made him go charging in like a bull. Probably not. Jason hated that part of him more than anything like he had been broken and put together wrong when he came back. There were jagged edges that stuck out still, cutting even those he cared for the most despite himself.
Looking at Steph, Jason saw too much of himself. She was falling apart, doing her best to keep it together enough to tell him what she knew, the only way she thought she could help in her state. His fingers squeezed hers and his lips pulled up the faintest bit in a smile. He was never good at this part, being comforting. He wasn’t Dick who comfort seemed to come to all too easily. His comfort was stilted at best, unsure and awkward, afraid of saying the wrong thing. Even when he was Robin there were far too many times Dick had the right thing to say to quiet the fierce anger that raged inside of him. It was one reason he had looked up to the first Robin so much, he was just so good at everything he did while Jason felt like everything he touched turned rotten and crumbled beneath his fingertips.
“Thank you for telling me, Steph.”
Was that the right thing to say? Sometimes...sometimes Jason wished he could ask his brother for advice without the immediate urge to take it back, to lash out in unresolved anger he held towards the older man.
“I know this is hard to talk about, that you’re having a hard time with this, but this will help. We’ll find him. You know we will.” Jason said firmly, the former Batgirl’s fingers trembling in his own and a tear rolling down her cheek.
“I hope so. God, I hope so.” Steph’s breath hitched and a sob fell from her lips, pulling her hand back in an instant to cover her face with both of them.
“Hey, you did good. You did great, even. Come on, lay back down. You talked enough for one day.” Jason soothed, standing up and pushing the desk chair back to gently wrap his scarred fingers around Stephanie’s arms and squeezed.
He eased her back down into a lying position, hating the way her sobs and hiccups tugged painfully at his heart. As much of a pain in the ass she was, Jason had grown fond of the girl who stuck around the bats and had heart eyes for the boy he once loathed for replacing him, now a little brother in his eyes. He pulled the blanket up over Steph’s trembling form and tucked some of her hair behind her ear.
“You tell anyone I was this nice to you, I’ll kick your ass.”
A startled laugh left Steph, it obviously surprised both of them if her eyes widening a beat later was anything to go by. Jason’s lips pulled up into a wry smile and he patted her shoulder.
“Get some rest, kid.”
Stepping back, Jason looked at the larger than life girl who now seemed entirely too small and reluctantly moved out of the room, the door clicking shut behind him. The silence in the manor halls weighed down on him. Jason had vital information now, but no plan. He hardly ever was the man with a plan, that was Tim, even Dick. Now he had to be that man to save his little brother and bring him back home. He had no idea how in the hell he was going to do that.

Stephanie revered herself on the capacity of her upper body strength. So much, that climbing a high tower building to get to the roof was something that she could do in her sleep.
Well maybe not in her sleep but something close to it. Call this training or sheer stupidity-she was dangling two hundred feet in the air after all. After finding her footing, Stephanie swung herself up into a backwards somersault, and bent her legs to the proper angle and finally landed on the roof. She exhaled heavily and turned quickly to find Conner already there.
“Okay so act like my landing wasn’t as bad as it looked.” She grinned before strolling her way to him.
“I could probably make it cleaner… don’t need the bad guys seeing me trip when I’m trying to catch them.” She gave him a look, arms crossed casually with a question fidgeting on her tongue, “you probably don’t need to do all those stupid tricks do you? Just one fell swoop ad BAM! Criminals pulverized.”

( jon hamm. fifty. he/his. cis man. ) are you a vigilante ? something tells me that the black smear of a candle wick, cutting cigars, and rain drying on concrete make you who you are, bruce wayne. with the powers of superhuman strength, intellect, and deduction, you’re sure to have a beguiling, evasive personality — and you definitely belong to unaffiliated. were you listening to stairway to heaven by led zeppelin on your way to the subway ? it suits you. we can’t wait to see what you do next !
❝ all men have limits. they learn what they are and learn not to exceed them. i ignore mine. ❞ . . . @reshieldedintro
not to sound like a pretentious piece of garbage buuuuut ... my interpretation of bruce will be exclusively comics based with slight influence from various animated series’ and video game spinoffs ( mostly for suit / equipment visualization ). no synderverse, absolutely no nolanverse or whatever the fuck the 2022 movie is. above all, there will be divergence in my portrayal because *points at my bruce wayne shrine* i KNOW this man.
another note about my interpretation is that ... bruce is old. he’s an old man. he can’t be batman anymore because his body can’t take it. his mentality struggles to let this go ( understandable, he’s been batman for decades ) so he’s been a little bit of a bitch about it, rip. i guess.
character name: wayne, bruce thomas age: fifty faceclaim: jon hamm voiceclaim: jon hamm skill set: tbd. affiliations: justice league. batfamily. batman inc. wayne enterprises. family: dick grayson. jason todd. tim drake. stephanie brown. damian wayne. tl: prime earth batfam. zodiac: aries wiki link: tbd.
001. what were they doing when they passed through the portal ?
occupied with wayne enterprise and it's tumultuous relationship with the stock market. batman's been retired to the batcave as an assist to the batfamily.
002. where are they living ? are they living with anyone ?
the idea that alfred transcends space and time is a character trait i embrace. he's got his master covered with a lavish penthouse nested neatly in the upper echelon of new york city. the batcave only a few miles in reach.
003. why is your character affiliated with who they’re affiliated with ?
for years "the batman" worked alone. it was to preserve his identity and because his initial intentions to become the bat were rooted in his own motivations. it felt wrong to join a team during the early years of his "career" but, when the team around him multiplied it was a great motivator for him to become a founding member of the justice league. this could've never been done without the assistance from alfred, the robins, and jim gordon. bruce found strength in numbers and solace in knowing his goal and moral code ( to an extent ) was shared among his peers.
004. who are their major friends, allies, and foes ?
bruce's childhood friend, harvey dent will always remain his true best friend. the guilt bruce carries from harvey's transformation into two-face plagues him. he doesn't have many friends because of it. he considers clark kent to be a friend, by proxy. everyone else around him are probably crisis actors. this man does not get around much.
005. whose hands do they believe the country should be in ?
his curiosity for shield, sword, the avengers, etc clutter his conscious. without knowing much about them or this world, it's difficult for him to pinpoint an answer. but let's be fair, his response wouldn't be black or white anyways.
006. what’s their current mental state at? their physical state ?
this man is pure muscle. with a large frame his stature is intimidating. he's handsome, in the gregory peck kind of way. there's a sadness to him that the expensive suits can't conceal. bruce's physicality is a conundrum. sure, he's pure muscle. but his body is destroyed. he has sustained multiple injuries throughout his career as batman, including but limited to: being thrown off a fucking building and slamming head first onto the concrete. he's developed scoliosis, arthritis, spondylosis ( from bane nearly snapping his neck ). his back is in horrible condition and is the main factor that prevents him from being batman full-time. he keeps his shape by eating healthy, exercise, and physical therapy.
#reshielded:intro#i hate to break it to all of you but my portrayal will be based on the finest piece of batman media... the lego batman movie thank you

Location: Port Vale Library When: Plot Drop 001 Status: @steph-anand
There was the ticking of a clock, muted at a distance. There was the sound of sporadic typing, then the occasional frantic turning of pages. There was the clinking sound of a coffee cup being set down, its contents having grown cold hours ago. And then there were the sounds Elistra was making. Wary sighs, the quiet tap of her fingers as she scrolled on her phone. There was a saying that humans used about horses and how they were able to bring them towards water, but how they couldn’t force them to drink. Elistra had a feeling she could relate to the humans who had come up with the phrase. She’d brought Steph food to keep her energy up-- cooked brown rice with a fried egg and sweet potatoes over top-- but so far hadn’t seen her eat even a little bit of it.
It hadn’t been long since the discovery of the amulet had been made. Elistra still wasn’t sure what to make of it all. She’d never seen a mermaid princess’s jewel before, but something deep in her bones told her that had to be what it was. It would explain all the new faces in town, but why would it be around the mermaid statue’s neck? It was as if someone was trying to deliver a message, a message that the humans in town would have no context for.
With another sigh from her spot at the adjacent table to where Steph was sitting, Elistra cleared her throat. “Oh, hey it says here in this article that frequent rest, food, and sleep actually help the human brain recognize patterns and make connections it otherwise wouldn’t have. Isn’t that interesting, Steph?” She looked at the woman buried in her laptop and several stacks of books. Elistra picked up a pen from the table and chucked it at Stephanie's arm. “Stephanie Anand, are you listening to me?”

despite his closeness with the batfamily , he was most likely embarrassed to ask for a place to crash. he does have the reputation in the family for being the closest thing to an adult so . . . he figured something out. most likely a worn down studio with high ceilings.
[ 003. ] why is your character affiliated with who they’re affiliated with ?
with numerous affiliations , dick has seemingly befriended a myriad of heroes and civilians. he’s most notably associated with the ( teen ) titans and occasionally young justice. at the start of his superhero “career” he was closely affiliated with batman but as he’s grown into his own , he scoffs at the title of robin. he aligns himself with people who share the same values, morals, and goals as him. he also considers the people on his team to be his family --- the titans, specifically.
[ 004. ] who are their major friends, allies, and foes ?
despite having many affiliations , the titans are the ones he is bonded to. even if they give him headaches he adores them. the rest of the robins are a close second -- even jason whom he shares a tumultuous relationship with. considering dick has trauma from the loss of his real family he puts a great deal of care and importance into maintaining the relationships he has with his friends.
dick’s relationship with batman has gone through a lot. carrying a great deal of weight on his shoulders as the first robin , dick feels that batman has placed him on an unwanted pedestal. he’s done his best to separate himself from the batfamily in order for the other robins to blossom in their own right without the shadow of “the nightwing” casting over them. he believes this separation has allowed batman to assume his disinterest in the batfamily, inheriting the batman title, and despising the role has robin.
his truest homie. best friend of all. is alfred pennyworth. hearing his grievances from a very young age, alfred knew all the gossip dick kept to himself while living in the wayne manor. his death still weighs heavy on dick’s shoulders; and how alfred gave dick his entire inheritance has made him reevaluate the relationship he had with alfred. he was both a mother / father figure to dick during his formative years.
[ 005. ] whose hands do they believe the country should be in ?
as he’s been investigating his parents death, he has earned a distrust of the police, the government, and politicians. so welcome to the revolution comrade dick grayson.
[ 006. ] what’s their current mental state at ? their physical state ?
he’s fooled himself into believing that he has a fulfilled life. he thinks he’s grown so much since he was robin but , he’s still a kid. a sad , scared kid; who is desperate for an answer. as much as he loves his friends and the batfamily , he can’t bring himself to “replace” the people he misses most.
he has dreams about them often that warp into nightmares. he can’t seem to shake the trauma he carries on a nearly daily basis. he’s also convinced himself that the other robins don’t like him because of his reputation as the "first” robin. which isn’t entirely untrue, he left some pretty big shoes to fill --- but he can’t bring himself to take credit for it.
he also misses everyone , like a lot.
he’s become a gym rat to distract himself from , well himself. he’s in great shape physically.
#reshieldedintro#i was physically incapable of sleeping without having dick trauma dump on main#this got unusually long ? kinda. i'm sorry i just Enjoy.

- Columbine Conspiracy #2: Multiple Shooter Theory Pt. 4
If you have not yet done so, I encourage you to read the prior posts of this series before continuing with the following. Thank you.
Patrick McDuffee, a former CHS student and original TCM member, gave his report to law enforcement on April 20, 1999 at approximately 9:30 pm (JCSO-001-010783). McDuffee immediately informed law enforcement that the TCM not only had prior knowledge of the attack, but planned and executed it. Despite claims to the contrary, McDuffee, along with several members of the TCM, including Alex Marsh, Kristi Epling, and several others, confirmed that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were indeed a part of the TCM in their police reports. In his report to authorities, Adam Kyler (known for his friendship with victim Rachel Scott), explained that a trench coat-ed Klebold threatened to kill him, which resulted in internal consequences during December of 1998 (JCSO 4065). McDuffee named over a dozen TCM members, providing their addresses, affiliation to the TCM, affiliation to CHS, and role(s) during the planning and execution of the attack. This confirmed the hundreds of claims from students, faculty, staff, and alumni that reported more members of the TCM were involved. TCM member Kentaro Kojima wrote on a CHS classroom board “we should blow up the school” shortly before the attack began, according to student, Terry Paczosa. McDuffee explained that TCM members from nearby Chatfield and Bear Creek High Schools also participated. He informed law enforcement that TCM members often spoke German to one another, which supplements Stephanie Duffy and Lisa Forgen’s claims to have heard shooters speaking the language during the attack (JCSO 2919). McDuffee’s list and damning evidence completely contradict the official narrative. McDuffee was subsequently forced to retract his report.
A plethora of students described who they believed was an “older” individual with spikey, blonde-highlighted hair shooting during the attack. Jonathan Vandermark, Eric Walton (JCSO 2242), David Eagle (JCSO 1781), and Jennifer Small (JCSO 2183), among others, all described these unique characteristics in their respective reports. On a side note, Small also explained that she ran into Eric Harris in the smoker’s pit minutes before the attack; she mentioned how bad her day was going and Harris informed her of it also being Hitler’s birthday as a joke. These students also mentioned they saw uniformed law enforcement shoot at students, faculty, and staff. Penny Zair (JCSO 5212), Candice Cushman (JCSO 2794), and Michelle Fox (JCSO 5196) all state they saw hostile shooters and law enforcement shooters aim at civilians from the rooftops. Pictures can be seen of law enforcement units with clipboards on the roof of CHS, establishing the event as a drill. Students Jake Apodaca and Chris Wisher said they saw gunmen hiding at Weaver Park, and recorded in their reports that they felt “blown off” by investigators.
Scott Fuselier, former CHS student and ‘coincidentally’ the son of FBI investigator, Dwayne Fuselier (who led the CHS investigation), also had ties to the TCM. Fuselier, along with Brook Brown, associate of the TCM and friend of Harris and Klebold, were on a production team for a film project that illustrated CHS exploding. Brown, who at the time played in a band, planned to release an album with this image as its cover. Brown also sang in the school choir; during a December 1998 rehearsal, fellow member Laurie Reynolds overheard Brown boasting that “something big” was going to happen the following April 20 at CHS. Again, Brown is seldom mentioned in a positive light by those associated with CHS; he was described in police reports as “tending to lie a lot.” During the fourth hour in his creative writing class, Brown confirmed that he sat in Eric Harris’ assigned seat. This was unusual and many students noted this in their reports. ‘Coincidentally,’ the only other student spared during the attack, as Brown claimed to have been, was John Savage, who also had ties to the TCM. Nathan Dykeman, Klebold’s best friend, did not immediately evacuate the area. Instead, Dykeman laughed when he found out about the shooting, and bragged that he knew who did it and could not believe they decided to do it that day.
The final point that I’ll bring up in this post is the 1999 CHS Prom. Emily Paletta, a then CHS senior, said that all the posters for prom were vandalized the week before it took place. The posters read: “It’s Coming: April 17.” The vandals crossed out the date and replaced it with “It’s Coming: April 20.” Cathy Pavelanon and Linda Revell reported seeing Dylan Klebold talking to a green-haired individual in the kitchen of the CHS cafeteria during the prom. They reported that they saw a large propane tank in the freezer of said kitchen. Law enforcement admits that they never could locate the individual seen talking to Klebold.
The next post with deal with the footage of the ‘bodies’ during the event.
