彡NEO CATWOMAN

⪩ summary- your boyfriend is batman and you’re the new catwoman

you encountered catwoman when you stole something, you were a great thief and you only stole every now and then but you just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

“well well what do we have here?” she says as she circles around you “you have guts. stupid ones but you have time. from now on you’re working for me i like your attitude.”

ever since terry started working for bruce wayne the two of you seemed to have less time together and ever since you started working for catwoman you barely had time for dates

“hey baby,” he said as he kissed your cheek and slid down into the seat next to you “sorry for not being able to make the date up to you i’ll make it up i promise” you smiled “it’s fine besides i had an emergency call in for work”

when it comes to him as batman the two of you had witty and flirty banter. for some reason, the two of you just clicked it felt like you knew him for ages

“those jewels don’t go with your complexion there sweetheart. it’s a shame you have to steal them” he leaned against the wall of the jewelry store as you grabbed something that caught your eye “too bad” you turn around with a catlike grin on your face “are you offering to buy me something nicer?”

bruce groaning every time he has to hear terry flirting with you he’s always like “keep your eyes on the prize terry.” and terry says “oh i am” while staring at you

the first time bruce heard “catwoman” his draw dropped he knew it wasn’t selina because he hadn’t heard of her in ages but yet catwoman was back, every time he encounters you he has terry give him a recap so they’re closer to uncovering who you are

we all know what catwoman’s suit looks like so when he sees your curves and how you fill it out he can’t take his eyes off you. there would be times when the two of you are so close that you’re damn near kissing

when the two of you are at school and batman and catwoman are suddenly brought up it gets strange

“did you guys see the news last night? batman helped the city again.” a classmate commented. you shrugged “from a thief though.” terry nudged you with a playful grin “what don’t tell me you’re team catwoman” you laugh a little “why shouldn’t i be she’s the only one who can give batman a run for his money” “hmmm i don’t know about that one baby.”

he would tell max about the dilemma he has with catwoman and knowing her she offers to help him out and find out catwoman’s identity. max heard how he talked to you on the comms once and she never went on while he was chasing you around again

eventually, your identities slowly fell apart. both of you let something slip and your “bosses” were able to figure out the rest and it was a strange conversation for the two of you.

the two of you were secretly talking in the batcave to make sure no one could hear you “so let me get this straight. you’re catwoman? this whole time it was you?” you shrugged “i could say the same the whole time instead of working for mr. wayne you were being batman??”

the flirty banter between y’all only gets worse

he snuck up behind you putting his hands on your waist “aw come on baby you don’t need to take that i can buy you something better.” you lean back and press a quick kiss to his masked cheek “mmm i don’t think you can but thanks for trying.”

he places one arm on the side of your head as you leaned your back on your locker “so where were you last night?” you smiled knowing he knew exactly where you were and what you were doing “oh here and there. nothing much to worry about” you pressed a kiss to his lips and hummed when you felt his tongue swipe your bottom lip.

history repeating itself with the two of you except the two of you work out and remain together

Terry Mcginnis x Fem!Reader ︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

The crisp October air was filled with the scent of fallen leaves and the distant laughter of children planning their trick-or-treat routes. You had always loved Halloween, the one time of year when everyone could be someone else, if only for a night. This year, you had a special surprise for your significant other, Terry McGinnis.

You slipped into your Batgirl costume, the fabric hugging your form like a second skin. The cowl was the final piece, and as you looked at yourself in the mirror, a thrill ran through you. Terry, with his love for all things Batman, would never see it coming.

Meanwhile, Terry was in his room, struggling with a decision. Halloween was complicated for him, given his nightly escapades as Batman. He chuckled at the irony of it all—here he was, trying to choose a costume when he already had the most authentic one at home.

A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts. “Terry, are you ready yet?” his brother’s voice called out, muffled by the wood between them.

“Just a minute, Matt!” Terry replied, finally settling on a simple Robin costume. It wasn’t the real deal, but it was close enough.

When you arrived at Terry’s doorstep, Matt greeted you first, his eyes wide with excitement. “Wow, you look just like Batgirl, Y/N!” he exclaimed, twirling in his mini Batman costume.  Matt, the mini Batman of the house, was running around, his cape fluttering behind him as he practiced his best superhero poses. 

You laughed, ruffling his hair. “And you make a perfect Batman, Matt. Is your brother ready?”

Matt nodded eagerly, and as Terry stepped out, you couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of him in the Robin costume. “I thought I’d keep it in the family,” he said with a grin, taking in your Batgirl outfit.

You teased Terry about his choice of costume. “I never took you for a sidekick,” you said, a playful glint in your eye.

Terry just smiled, a secret dancing behind his eyes. “You’d be surprised,” he murmured, his voice barely audible over the sound of child laughter. Terry’s arm slipping around your waist.

“Happy Halloween, Y/N,” he whispered, and you leaned into him, feeling the contours of his costume against your own.

“Happy Halloween, Terry,” you replied, unaware of the true depth behind his mask, the real hero that stood beside you.

“Alright, team,” you announced, “let’s get these pumpkins carved. Batgirl and her sidekicks can’t have a dull doorstep on Halloween!”

Matt was the first to dive into the task, his small hands scooping out pumpkin guts with a look of fierce concentration. “I’m gonna make the scariest face ever!” he declared, his eyes alight with the excitement that only a child on Halloween could possess.

Terry leaned over to whisper in your ear, “I bet he’s going to give us a run for our money.”

You smiled, taking up your own carving tools. “We’ll just have to step up our game then, won’t we?”

As the three of you worked on your pumpkins, the front porch became a canvas of creativity and laughter. Terry was meticulous in his carving, creating a bat symbol that looked almost professional. You went for a more traditional approach, crafting a grinning jack-o’-lantern that seemed to reflect the joy of the evening.

Matt looked between the two of you, his eyes wide. “You guys are so good at this!” he exclaimed, his own pumpkin taking shape under his determined hands.

“You’re not so bad yourself, little man,” Terry said, ruffling his brother’s hair. “That’s going to be one spooky pumpkin.”

Once the carving was done, you all stepped back to admire your handiwork. The pumpkins were lined up on the steps, their candles casting a warm glow against the darkening sky.

Terry wrapped an arm around your shoulders, pulling you close. “Not bad for a night’s work,” he said, pride evident in his voice.

Matt bounced on the balls of his feet, eager to show off your creations to the neighborhood. “Can we go trick-or-treating now?” he asked, his voice tinged with impatience.

You laughed, nodding. “Yes, we can go now. But first, let’s get a picture of the Bat-family with their pumpkins.”

The three of you huddled together, the camera capturing the moment perfectly—a snapshot of Halloween happiness.

As the night progressed, you, Terry, and Matt wandered the neighborhood, collecting candy and compliments on your costumes. The air was filled with the sounds of Halloween—shrieks, laughter, and the rustling of leaves.

It was a night of masks and merriment, of heroes in costume and the simple joy of being together. And though you didn’t know Terry’s secret—that he was the real Batman—it didn’t matter. Because tonight, he was just Terry, your Robin, and that was more than enough.

彡ON N OFF

⪩ summary- you and your boyfriend who’s not your boyfriend but is your boyfriend have a little talk…it’s complicated

you rolled your eyes when he approached your locker. even though the two of you broke up two weeks ago you were always aware of him it was like a habit you couldn’t shake.

from beside you felt max nudge you with her elbow “don’t look now y/n but here he comes.” max knows all too well about what terry’s been up to as batman. you however were left completely in the dark, after months of empty promises and missed dates you couldn’t take it anymore. the problem though was that you couldn’t stay away.

you slammed your locker shut and watched as he got closer to your locker and leaned against the one next to yours.

you looked him up and down and rolled your eyes “mcginnis.”

he simply smiled at you, he was way used to your attitude by now “l/n. you didn’t answer my call last night.” you clicked your tongue feigning innocence “oh really? you know i tend to not call my exes so maybe it’s just a coincidence.”

he chuckled “funny.” he leaned in closer to your face causing your noses to just barely brush against each other “come on you’re still not mad are you baby?”

your eyes flickered to his lips before meeting his blue eyes “yes i am.” a smirk slowly formed on his lips “you don’t sound too mad to me. you’re still talking to me aren’t you?”

it was the same game between the two of you. you wanted nothing to do with him or at least you felt like you did, and he wanted everything to do with you. he loves being around you and he loves you.

“…class is starting.” you turned to leave walking off to your next class. max leaned against her locker looking at terry “they’ve got you bad huh?” she sighs “i have a plan to help you out, just show up to the diner on lunch break.” she waved him off over her shoulder and trailed after you.

she slid into the desk next to you, as usual, your teacher just handed you all worksheets and left you all to your own devices. the whole class was in mutual agreement that no one was passing the end-of-year exam but a free period is a free period.

“so you and terry huh.”

you cut her off with a huff and a roll of your eyes “there is no me and terry. he’s just an ex.” she rose a brow “if terry is ‘just an ex’ then that must make me superman.” she nudges you with her elbow “come on y/n. i see how he looks at you. and i hear how he talks to you too he’s definitely not over you.”

you fill out the worksheet to avoid her gaze “that doesn’t matter anymore max.”

max sighs, terry is gonna owe her for this. she needed a way for the two of you to talk. it was understandable why the two of you broke up but it’s clear you still like each other and honestly, it was just getting hard to watch “how about we take your mind off of all this terry nonsense at lunch? my treat.”

you smile at her “that sounds great max thanks.”

she waves her hand dismissively with a smile “don’t mention it y/n. now forget about terry and let me tell you what i heard about nash and his girl”

“ooo you serious? spill!”

the class went by faster than either of you had anticipated gossiping the whole period truly goes a long way. max looks through her bookbag and sucks her teeth “damn i forgot my card in my locker. you go on ahead without me y/n and grab us a seat y/n i’ll meet you there.” you nodded, it was always busy at the diner if you don’t get there during the rush you wouldn’t be getting a seat “sure i’ll see you there.”

you weaved through the crowd and you walked to the diner snagging a spot for you and max. you idly scrolled on your phone to pass the time.

“y/n?” the voice that called out to you felt so familiar, so warm, so caring, so…terry.

you looked up from your phone watching as he slid into the seat across from you “i’m saving that seat for max terry.” he chuckled “that’s funny because max told me to meet her here too.”

you groaned and facepalmed. it was all a setup max got the both of you. you grabbed your phone and scooted out of the booth “i have nothin to say to you terry.” he gently grabbed your wrist “baby just talk to me. what can i do to fix this? i don’t like being apart from you.”

you remain silent, he releases your wrist and you sit back down “you wanna know what it is terry? i’m tired of you bailing out on me. it’s constantly mr. wayne this mr. wayne that. i just want to spend time like we used to i can’t exactly spend time with a boyfriend that isn’t there.”

he gently rests his hand on top of yours “i can’t promise that i’ll be able to clear my schedule baby but i’ll try my best. hell, i’ll even set a day aside just for you.”

you look out the window keeping your gaze on anything but him “hey look at me baby” you couldn’t help yourself and turned to meet his eyes “i love you and i always will we can make this work i promise.”

he wishes he could tell you about him being batman, it would make everything so much easier and he could just fly over and see you any time after patrol. but he can’t for your safety he won’t. it doesn’t matter how many times you break up with him because of his schedule. he’ll always love you and find his way back to you no matter how long it takes.

Terry Mcginnis x Fem!Reader ︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

The sun hung high over Gotham, casting a rare warmth on the city’s usually stark streets. You and Terry were navigating the crowded sidewalks, enjoying the day’s peace, a stark contrast to the nocturnal chaos Terry often faced. The sounds of the city buzzed around you—the chatter of pedestrians, the distant honking of cars, the occasional laugh that cut through the urban drone.

“Check out that new VR game store,” you pointed excitedly, your voice barely audible over the city’s din.

Terry followed your gaze, nodding in approval. “Looks cool, we should—”

As you walked, a commotion up ahead caught your attention. A group of rowdy individuals was causing a scene, their voices raised in anger. Before you could react, one of them stumbled towards you, his intentions unclear but his movements invasive, his hand reaching out.

Without a second thought, Terry stepped in front of you, his body language firm, his body a barrier between you and the potential threat. “Hey, back off,” he said firmly, his voice commanding despite the absence of his Batsuit.

The man recoiled, muttering under his breath as he backed away, and Terry turned to you, his expression a mix of concern and apology. The rest of the group dispersed, sensing the confrontation was over.

“I could have handled that myself, you know,” you said, your voice tinged with a mix of gratitude and frustration. You were capable, after all, and didn’t need rescuing, especially not in broad daylight.

Terry’s eyes met yours, a silent conversation passing between you. “Would you rather me just stand there and let that happen?” he asked, his protective nature at odds with your independence.

“Yes! That was not your battle to fight!” you insisted, pulling away from him slightly. “You had no right.”

“I didn’t want anything to happen to you…” Terry’s voice softened, his concern for your well-being overriding everything else.

The altercation had drawn a few curious glances from passersby, but now they moved on, the spectacle over, the rhythm of the city swallowing up the brief disturbance.

As you and Terry continued on your way, the tension from the encounter lingered, sparking a conversation about boundaries, protection, and the complex layers of your friendship that was perhaps evolving into something more.

The cacophony of Gotham’s midday rush seemed to recede into a distant murmur as you and Terry stood in the midst of a growing silence, the tension palpable between you. The recent scuffle had left its mark, not on you, but on the fabric of your friendship.

“I don’t think you should go out tonight,” Terry said, his voice low, the words not a command but a plea. His eyes held a depth of emotion that you rarely saw during the day, unmasked and raw.

“Well, it’s a good thing you don’t get to make those decisions for me, isn’t it?” you shot back, your voice steady but your heart pounding. You were touched by his concern, but the need to stand your ground, to assert your independence, was stronger.

“What is your problem? You always pull this shit,” you accused, the words slipping out harsher than you intended. The city’s noise crept back in—a car alarm in the distance, the muffled sound of music from a nearby apartment—reminding you both that life went on around you.

“I care about you,” Terry said, his voice barely above a whisper, vulnerable. It was a confession, simple and true, and it stopped you in your tracks.

“If you cared so much, then you’d know I’m capable of defending myself,” you countered, your pride wounded, yet a part of you melted at his admission.

“I didn’t mean to embarrass you. I wasn’t thinking,” Terry conceded, his gaze dropping to the ground, to the scattered litter and puddles that reflected the overcast sky above.

“You got that right…” you muttered, turning away from him, your footsteps echoing in the alley as you moved past a stack of old newspapers that fluttered in the breeze.

“Not even Dana steps in that much…” Terry tried to lighten the mood, but his words were lost to the sound of a siren wailing in the distance.

“Don’t you think that says something?” you challenged, turning back to face him, your eyes searching his.

“We need to talk. Like seriously,” Terry said, his voice firm, his expression earnest. He reached out, tentatively, as if asking for permission to bridge the gap between you.

“You turn into like a completely different person when stuff like this happens. What’s going on?” you asked, your voice softening, concern lacing your words.

“I can’t take you anywhere, can I?” Terry joked weakly, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were serious, pleading.

“I could say the same for you,” you shot back, a half-smile tugging at your lips despite the situation, your heart betraying your frustration.

“What were you thinking??” you finally asked, the affection in your voice mingling with the exasperation, as natural and real as the city’s pulse.

“I think we need to spend some time apart for a while…until you can figure whatever this is out,” you suggested, the words heavy, like the weight of the graffiti-laden fire escape above you.

“Can I explain myself?” Terry asked, his eyes pleading for understanding, his figure framed by the alley’s exit, where the light of the city beckoned. “You have two minutes,” you granted, your arms uncrossing, your posture softening like the breeze that carried away the tension.

“I’m sorry,” Terry began, “You’d better be…” you interjected, but your tone was softer now, the anger dissipating like the steam rising from a nearby vent.

“I was worried and I panicked,” Terry confessed, his honesty disarming you, his vulnerability as raw as the exposed brickwork.

“And I appreciate that but why? I’ve tried to ignore it but it’s been a lot lately. If anything, I’m worried for you,” you admitted, your concern for him clear, your voice barely above a whisper, as intimate as the secrets the alley kept.

“Look, I know I probably should have backed off and I apologize,” Terry said, his apology sincere, his eyes never leaving yours, as earnest as the messages scrawled on the walls.

“No, honestly it was kind of hot,” you blurted out, the words escaping before you could reel them back in. You laughed, a short, surprised sound, turning away from him as you continued to walk, your laughter echoing off the walls, as freeing as the pigeons taking flight from their perches.

“What??” Terry’s response came after a few seconds of stunned silence, his voice tinged with embarrassment as he looked up from his daze, his expression as bewildered as a tourist lost in Gotham’s maze. 

He ran to catch up to you, his footsteps quick and light, a stark contrast to the heavy conversation that had just taken place. As he reached your side, the city’s sounds enveloped you both once more, but now they seemed to carry a different tune—one of possibility and the promise of something new.

WIPs List

Currently includes: Conner Kent, Devour, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Simon Amal, Terry McGinnis, Tristian Grey

Current Count: 50

Accidents - Jason Todd

Hurt/Comfort - Training comes with risks, especially when Jason is nearly three times reader’s size and angry. 

Accismus - Jason Todd

Fluff - Pre-relationship, both reader and Jason act disinterested in a relationship, but everyone knows they’re pining for each other.

Apricate - Tom Bronson

Fluff - Apricate: To bask in the sun. Aka: Tom’s feline habits are fairly obvious once you’re aware that he’s a werecat

Argument - Jason Todd

Hurt/Comfort - An argument between two people who learned to lash out in lieu of showing any weakness can be messy. 

Aubade - Jason Todd

Fluff - Jason wakes up to reader singing to a puppy that he doesn’t remember adopting. Gotham Knights verse.

Baby Bats - Tristian Grey

Fluff - A late night visit with some extra guests.

Bad Days - King Chimera

Hurt/Comfort - Bad days just happen sometimes, and reader can’t hide this one from him.

Black and Red - Jason Todd 

Fluff - Reader might have forgotten who those colors could represent when she bought that outfit.

Cafuné - Jason Todd

Hurt/Comfort - Jason’s hair is soft, save for the rough patch that hangs over his forehead.

Control - Jason Todd

Hurt/Comfort - Jason’s careful to never step over the invisible line that he’s drawn for himself, but the first time he trains with reader, he barks out an order, to which she immediately freezes up and takes a hit. Between letting him think that he messed up and admitting that she doesn’t mind him being a little domineering, she bites the bullet.

Cooking Disasters - Jason Todd

Fluff - Teaching reader to cook isn’t as cute as he thought it would be.

Crush - Devour

Fluff - Annoying Jason and making a move on your crush, multi-tasking at it's finest.

Embasan - Dick Grayson

Hurt/Comfort - After a mission goes off the rails and reader ends up drugged, Dick drops her into the bathtub fully clothed to wash the smell of the club out of her skin and hair.

Fake Dating - Dick Grayson

Fluff, Hurt/Comfort - Reader’s friends keep setting her up on blind dates, so she convinces Dick to play the part of her boyfriend to avoid any more awkward dates with men who end up having a 50/50 chance of being thugs.

Fangs - Vampire Jason Todd

Fluff, general vampire stuff - Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. Aka, if Jason won’t bite reader when she asks, she’ll tempt him by accidentally cutting her finger on his fang.

First Kiss - Dick Grayson

Hurt/Comfort - Emotions run high after Nightwing rescues reader post-kidnapping.

Flinch - Jason Todd

Hurt/Comfort - Jason is convinced that reader’s scared of him after she flinches during an argument. Oddly enough, Bruce is the one that ends up telling him how ridiculous that is.

Fluff - Dick Grayson

Fluff - It’s literally just fluff. No other substance to it.

Goodnight Kiss - Dick Grayson

Fluff - Reader calls while Dick’s on patrol with a very domestic complaint.

Heights - Jason Todd 

Fluff - Jason pulls reader into his lap while he’s sat on the edge of a building, leading to her clinging to him for dear life.

Help - Dick Grayson

Hurt/Comfort - Following a failed mission, reader hides away in her room. When Nightwing comes to the door, she assumes she’s in for a lecture. Young Justice verse.

Impatience - Jason Todd

Fluff - He’s only got one more chapter, but reader has no more patience.

Ivy - Jason Todd

Fluff, Hurt/Comfort - Jason gets hit by Poison Ivy’s pheramones, leading to him being far more affectionate than normal while reader patches him up.

Jealousy - Dick Grayson

Hurt/Comfort - Reader disrupts a case when jealousy gets the best of her.

Laconic - Jason Todd

Fluff - “I love you” but spoken with other words.

League - Dick Grayson

Hurt/Comfort - Dick Grayson is probably the prettiest person reader has ever seen. Making a move on him is a leap of faith, but Dick has proven good at catching people that are falling.

Leather - Jason Todd 

Fluff - Jason swoops in to save reader from a mugger without his gear. It’s the first time she’s seen him in civies, so she stares more than she should.

Lesson - Dick Grayson

Fluff - Admiring Dick turns into a hands-on lesson.

Lockscreen - Jason Todd

Marmoris - Jason Todd

Fluff - Jason thinks reader’s scared when a shark pops up only a few feet away, but ends up being reminded that he’s not the only visually intimidating creature she finds cute

Medic - Terry McGinnis 

Fluff, Hurt/Comfort - Reader sees something fall from the air and goes to investigate, resulting in her finding Batman injured and unconcious and proceding to drag him back to her apartment to clean him up. 

Monachopsis - Dick Grayson 

Hurt/Comfort - After joining Young Justice, reader can’t help but feel like she doesn’t fit in. Young Justice verse.

Mozzafiato - Dick Grayson

Fluff - Reader is terrified of heights, but she’s plastered to Dick’s side, feeling every breath he takes, and knows he’d never drop her, Gotham is a breathtaking view from the top of Wayne Tech.

Mudita - Dick Grayson

Fluff - A date to the local animal shelter is only topped by that date ending with a new pet.

Oddity - Jason Todd

Action, Hurt/Comfort - He’s a sight to be sure, bandages wrapped around his face hiding the burn scar that reader knows is there, and a baby pressed to his chest as he aims a gun between her eyes. Reader is a relatively new member of the Batfam, and despite never meeting him before this moment, she’s determined to bring him at the bright-eyed baby home. Death in the Family verse: Hush!Jason. 

Oodal - Jason Todd

Fluff - Bruce thinks there’s something wrong between reader and Jason; reader and Jason are oblivious. 

Qualities - Conner Kent

Fluff - In which Kryptonians have fangs. Basically, a testament to me loving any alien character having fangs. 

Rescue - Jason Todd

Hurt/Comfort - Reader runs into Red Hood while being tailed by men with obviously ill intentions. Gotham Knights verse.

Safe - Dick Grayson

Fluff - There’s something comforting about sleeping in his bed, whether he’s there or not.

Seatherny - Dick Grayson

Fluff - Waking up in Dick’s arms for once.

Shield - Jason Todd

Action, Hurt/Comfort - On a scale of misfortune, this would probably rank near the highest. Gotham’s most murderous vigilante is pointing a gun at reader’s skull while she’s used as a human shield. Death in the Family verse: Red Robin!Jason.

Smaragdine - Jason Todd

Fluff - Jason’s eyes glow sometimes because of the Lazarus Pit, but only ever for reader. 

Staying Quiet - Dick Grayson

Succiduous - Dick Grayson

Hurt/Comfort - A leap of faith.

Tail - Jason Todd 

Hurt/Comfort - Following a suspect to help in one of Jason’s missions turns sour when the man notices that reader has been watching him.

Trust - Jason Todd

Hurt/Comfort - Reader falls asleep against Jason’s arm and he proceeds to overthink the danger he poses to her.

Ummi - Dick Grayson

Fluff - Damian is a common visitor to Dick and reader’s apartment. Sometimes, words just happen to slip out.

Walk in the Rain - Simon Amal

Fluff - Sometimes dancing in the rain is a bit much.

Voracity - Jason Todd 

Fluff - Reader wants his attention and she wants it all.
