Batfamily headcanons with batsis that used to be a Black Widow please?

Note: Thank you for requesting, I hope this is okay as I don't tend to write headcanons a lot, but I had fun with this and I thought that the idea was so cool!

The first time they met you, you had taken them by surprise, which was unusual for them as being vigilantes meant that they were always on high alert.

⛤ They were on patrol and you had snuck past them, taking out the criminals before they even had time to blink and then pinning them down from behind.

⛤ Although they were skeptical at first, it hadn't taken long for the four boys to develop a liking for you, especially Damian who was in complete awe of the way fought and slunk around the streets, although you would be lying if you said that he wasn't the teeniest bit jealous.

⛤ They saw you a few times after that. Your training made you hard to track down, but they were skilled to and with some digging, Tim had managed to find you.

⛤ You all became thick as thieves after that, often going out on patrol with each other.

⛤ And soon Bruce invited you to stay.

⛤ At first, you were hesitant. Your time in the Red Room had lead you to develop some trust issues but you took a leap and boy were you glad you did.

⛤ There is always something to do with the vigilantes; training, reading, watching movies. and you quickly became a part of their weekly routines.

⛤They love having you around too, often asking you to help them with their stealth and training.

⛤ You had to work around the assassinations with Bruce because they broke his 'no killing rule.', but after discussing with him and Jason, the three of you came to a suitable compromise and you become a huge part of protecting Gotham and of their lives.

⛤ You would do anything to protect them as they would for you.

Actually, I could ship batlantern. Hal just needs to be a loser about it. Which isn’t hard, considering he’s Hal.

So, thanks to humans discovering an ancient portrait (commissioned by clockwork until he lost it), they don't mistake Danny as the Ghost King. No, even worse, he's now thought of as the Queen Mother. A widowed Queen Mother or something along the lines of a Targaryen like marriage. (Yes game of thrones will exist if only for my references to work)

Somehow in someway, Constantine is caught slacking and the JLA decide to summon him. Why? I don't know

(An approximation of what I imagine it looks like, I'll draw it once I find the motivation because it seems cool- with star motifs and long-haired Danny with star studded braids and cosmos brocade, baby Dani ,and crowd speculation on game of thrones style siblings relationships or political schemes targeting a lone mother after their king husband's death with a daughter instead of a son and a brother who might not be on their side.) (I don't know why vlads there)

DC’s very own Romeo & Juliet. Batman was prepared to reunite with Superman in death.

Luckily he regained his will to live after finding out that Superman was alive

And they lived happily ever after

Everyone felt confused as the glow of the summoning circle finally died down, the League had managed to subdue the cultists too late and now...

Wait, who and what were the cultists trying to summon?

Oh no, oh nononononono--

Danny just want a nap after a whole week of doing paperwork.

The Hospital Arc Epilogue: The Escape

Jan escapes. Does she flee into another hunter’s trap? Or is it simply a helping hand?

[1077 words] Thanks for making to the end of the hospital arc yall! Next arc is called homebound. Lemme know if you liked it! Send in some asks for the missus!

‘Aren't you a brave one?’

Jan kept her makeshift polearm awkwardly trained at the door, her body tense and heart thrumming as she crouched patiently in front of it.

She first heard those words as a child who stepped into a large dining room to meet her grandparents on Thanksgiving dinner.

It wasn't like anything she had ever seen before. She kept close to her shuffling mother, whose eyes were trained on the floor.

The word “brave" was sneered at them from different directions. They were hungry for the weaknesses of the women in front of them, even if at the time she was only a girl. She kept her head forward—waiting to speak until she was spoken to—keeping her gaze in front of her.

It was a feeling similar to this one; the waiting, the watching, and the knowing she must react at the most opportune time.

So when a sliver of fluorescent light spilled into her room, she pounced forward and caught her target by the shins.

He reached out to grab her as he fell. The pole flung upwards into his face and she twisted away from his grasp.

Swears and yelling nipped at her heels.

She refused to look back, fast on her feet, and hurdled west towards the nearest staircase.

Growing up, she quickly became adept at ignoring people who had nothing of value to say to her. She kept her head high despite her humiliation, and knew when to lower it to escape unwanted attention.

Those skills weren’t transferable when she couldn't hear anything over the beating of her heart.

She slammed into the stairwell doors and was too preoccupied with the primal need to escape to pay heed to the impact.

Shadows raced down towards the stairs entrance and their sudden appearance promptly convinced her to make her descent.

Down the well, she scrambled, wanting to keep her feet light and lithe.

But her steps echoed back to her, in a body that whispered misfortune and experience she had yet to live.

Despite it all she kept moving, her head on a swivel, stomach in knots as she spotted figures above her.

They half hung on the banister, grinning a sneer she lived her life ignoring, and--

Jan was already jumping over the railing, plummeting down a floor, and barely managing a controlled landing onto the foyer.

Gasping, she struggled to her feet.

Her brain screamed at her half second delay, panicked at the different reminders that her body was in fact forty and not twenty in age.

She grabbed the door and pried it open, jamming the pole through the handle the moment she made it out the other side.

The door jolted in its frame, angry faces appearing in the small window.

She was nauseated to turn her back on them without her pole, but she grasped her makeshift shiv and fled deeper into the hallway.

The sound of rapid gunshots ricocheted in the building.

A tremor broke against her feet; the walls shook as if the building was alive.

She was always chasing safety and security, only deciding to get her Bachelors once she finagled a position before she even graduated. Even with the thought of marriage, her first priority was the stability and safety that came with it. She knew that the word ‘brave’ could never be more than a sarcastic title to a scared little girl.

But she could hold on to her wits until she was able to turn the corner and break through the doors for a taste of that security.

A shriek tore itself from her throat before she even recognized that she was being yanked back by the hair.

She slashed wildly, catching nothing, and screeching fire before her wrist was caught and squeezed until she let go.

His mouth was moving, and Jan's eyes went wide.

She almost laughed at how ridiculous he looked with his blue cowl and distended red goggles.

He shook her in the air, demanding her attention.

“Pretending to be a weak and pretty thing, ey miss?” his other arm reached behind him, unsheathing the sword from its scabbard.

She cursed her eyes for going glassy.

“Don't worry, you weren't so bad. Fooled the stupid, sure.”

Jan grit her teeth, struggling in the air.

“And at least you're willing to put up a fight. Well, miss, this wasn't as nearly as fun as I wanted it to be.”

He shrugged and angled the blade, as casual as Gotham‘s businessmen committing tax evasion.

With the last shred of defiance, she looked into his eyes, and saw no humanity there. She smiled bitterly knowing that killing her was nothing to him.

With a flash of burning hot light, they were flung to the floor.

She choked and gasped on the smell of burnt skin, her limbs seizing and trying to claw her in any direction that was away.

Hands grabbed her shoulders, lifting and pulling her away from the smoke. She kicked out furiously reaching and grabbing anything she could.

Muscular arms pinned hers to her side, turning her to face him.

“—alm down! We’re leaving!” It was a voice she hadn’t heard before.

A white male, brown eyes and hair, crew cut.

He’s dangerous. But between him and the growing sounds of fighting, she knew where the better odds lay.

She gripped the man’s arm and followed his lead with gritted teeth.

Her feet picked up when she spotted the doors.

Her ears rang with gunshots and grunts and it propelled her even faster.

He stayed behind her, his guns firing into the smoke.

“Z!” He called out when the door opened to the outside world.

The man threw a black device back into the building before shutting the door closed and pulling her farther into the parking lot.

The building was smoking. Then the door exploded in a blaze of fire.

She sunk to her knees.

“Hey. Miss. Are you okay?”

The concrete underneath her knees and hands was cool and gritty.

“Miss, hey.” A hand waving in front of her. “Damn. I have no idea how to talk to civvies.” He muttered.

Black military boots walked into her peripheral.

“You get him, Z?” The first man asks.

She looked up. His dark skin was splattered with blood, and his green eyes was triumphant despite a muted smile. He spared her a glance before addressing his friend.

“How does it feel to be alive again, Owens?”

Thank you to my beta reader!! And thank you to all of you who participated so far! The next arc is called homebound!!

See you soon!

I just of a Night at the Museum AU where lightning strikes a comic store and despite all logic all the statues of heroes, villains, etc. just come alive and it's absolute chaos.

The Justice League is trying to crack the case why they are suddenly in a store where all their secret identities are on full display, the Avengers are running around and smashing things, somewhere Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier are playing chess and arguing.

And the person on shift is a fan but is totally not getting paid enough for this sh*t.

I get stuff wrong about my favorite characters, like, a good fair amount of times (mostly things I forget, or lore that I have heard secondhand, but haven’t seen for myself yet)

I used to think that meant that I was like a fake fan until I realized that literal employed comic authors at Marvel and DC also do this. So my friends. May we go forth and get things wrong and then just say it’s a slightly OOC headcanon and be at peace.

If people get paid to mischaracterize my faves then I can damn well do it on accident for free during crazed, 3:00am blorbo hyperfixations.

(However, this also means that you don’t have to be the character police. Yall get so touchy about them and while I get it’s irritating to see your fave mischaracterized, there’s this really fun option you can choose called “ignore it and interact with blogs/posts that characterize them in the way you prefer.”)

TLDR: it’s not the end of the world if you think character would have made choice A when someone else thinks he would’ve made choice B. Don’t be a baby about it
