It is nearing 3am when Tim receives the perimeter alarm for Drake Manor.

He furrows his eyebrows at the little pop-up on the Batcomputer.

“Hey… Steph..?” He slowly turns his chair, keeps his eyes fixed on the screen until the last moment.

Steph pops her head up from her post-patrol stretches, “Yeah Timmers?”

“You want to come check out a perimeter alarm at my old house?” He said, already buckling his utility belt back on over his civilian clothes.

Steph shrugged as she got to her feet, “Sure, why not.”

By the time they get there, whoever has tripped the sensors is gone from the immediate boundaries.

Tim starts into the darkened pine woods in front of him, Steph grumbles but follows.

They get hardly a minute in before there’s a large crash and a scream. Immediately, they take off running towards the sound.

What they approach is something he doesn’t think even Batman could have predicted.

Danny Nightingale is there, because of course he is, and he is hanging upside down from a tree branch.

A very high tree branch; about 15ft off the ground tree branch.

There’s also a telescope hanging from his outstretched arm, the other he lifts to wave at them, “Oh hey Tim.”

Tim’s arm waves without his permission, “… hey…Danny..”

Danny goes back to whatever he was doing before they arrived, which… apparently was trying to climb the tree without letting go of the telescope. Weren’t those heavy??

Suddenly a voice called down from above them, “Do you want some help, dear?!”

Tim and Steph snapped their heads upwards, staring in awe at the woman standing at the top of the tallest pine tree Tim had ever seen.

It swayed in the gentle wind. Or maybe that was the weight of Danny moving around on its lower branches. Who could tell really.

“No I’ve got it Mom!” Danny shouted back up, finally able to leverage himself into a sitting position.

“Is your whole family up there!? What’re you doing out here?” Tim asked, bewildered as the shadowed woman shifted again to look up.

“No..” Danny looked at him like he said something stupid, “Its just us obviously, it’s not like Dad would fit on these trees.”

“Right…. Obviously,” Tim responded skeptically, watching as Danny slowly struggled to reach up to the next branch without releasing the telescope.

“I’m… ugh… star… come on.. just star… gaze… whabout… gruhhhh. What about you? Aha!” Danny got one branch up, cheering with telescope raised.

Only for it to immediately throw off his balance and he slipped over the side with a screech, making Tim and Steph lurch forward with their hearts in their throats until he caught himself on it like a sloth.

Steph wheezed with her eyes wide, “At least we know what the scream was from. You almost died!”

“I almost dropped my telescope is what I did! Alright, one more try….” Danny begun the struggle anew, “So why are you out here Tim, with friend to boot?”

Tim glanced at Steph, “I used to live here. I was checking the property alarm.”

“Huh.” Danny shrugged as he got upright, “Didn’t know it was private property. That’s probably where that fence Dad pulled off the GAV came from. He was surprised it’d managed to scratch the bumper.”

Tim felt his spirit die a little more, “Good to know.”

He watched confused as Danny looked at the tree and his telescope and then back at the tree, before collapsing the tripod limbs and tucking it close to his back under his jacket, zipping it up so he looked like a gorilla carrying its child… then proceeding to clamber up the tree like a goddamn spider.

Steph grabbed his arm roughly, face twisted in dismay, “How the hell-“

Tim sighed, closing his eyes as he watched the mother and son set up a no doubt expensive telescope precariously on the upper branches and then start stargazing.

Nevermind that they were 40 feet in the air.

“Steph, meet the Nightingales. They’re new to Gotham.”

If one has spent a decent amount of time in an engineering lab, perhaps even been raised above (and in) such a lab, it would come as no surprise that the construction of potentially hazardous items can sometimes be accidental.

Danny’s teachers and classmates evidently do not share this sentiment when he attempts to leave their group to disarm the pipe-bomb in front of them during their field trip to the Gotham railroad museum.

Danny doesn’t get it.

“Once you accidentally make one, you figure out pretty fast how to unmake one,” Danny shrugs in reason, it’s not like it’s hard. Well, it’ll probably be a bit different because it’s not from spare pieces of a microwave but still!

“Microwaves don’t have spare pieces, Danny,” One of the chaperones says. Oh, she must have heard Danny’s mumble.

“Sure they do! Everything has spare pieces if you do it right!” Danny smiles, “Here, watch this!” Danny lunges for the bomb, dodging a reaching arm with practiced expertise.

Once he has his hands on it, he’s pulling his Fenton family goggles from his pocket and the mini toolkit his parents got -made- him for his 12th birthday. Complete with a laser cutter!

Danny uses the magnification of the goggles to get a closer look at the design, holding it up to his face. The timer seems to be a separate connection… hmm.

Danny turns his ear to it, shaking vigorously, but he pauses as shouts sound from behind him sitting criss-cross on the floor.

Except…when he turns around, nothing’s different except the group looking startled and pressing themselves farther against the wall.

“Nightingale!” Damian hisses from the herd, “What are you doing!?!”

Danny tilts his head in confusion, vision tinted slightly green through his goggles, “I’m..deconstructing it??” Danny looks down as he unscrews a few pieces, listening for the disconnection of the timer, “Thought that was obvious,” He grumbles.

Danny pulls his goggles to his forehead to get a better gauge of the wire colors before pulling two of them out. The timer display turns off.

The group seems to sag in relief as the red numbers go dead.

Danny barely notices, looking intently at the object as he turns it in his hands.

Hmmmm.

He flips his goggles back down and reaches blindly for his toolkit. Danny continues unscrewing, grabbing a different screwdriver and his mini weld set, before setting two metal grids to the side and holding it back up.

“See! Spare parts!” He says with a smile.

The green goggle tint prevents him from seeing his chaperone’s face drain of color.

It does not prevent him seeing Batman crash through the window three seconds later.

When Mabel comes out to Stan, she’s really scared that he’s going to reject her and have an issue with it, so she’s emotional and asks him if he still loves and supports her and he’s just like “??? Kid I’ve been telling you all summer I’m one of the LBTGs” and then it’s her turn to be like “wait what??” because she thinks he had never mentioned a sexuality before, and it turns out Stan had been constantly telling the kids that he’s “ambidextrous” because he thought it meant the same thing as bisexual.

I’m thinking about Wicked tonight, specifically why Elphaba ends up with Fiyero instead of Glinda in the musical despite Elphaba and Glinda having the more well-rounded relationship.

You could chalk it up to the writers wanting a heteronormative ending (and I’m certain that’s part of it) or the fact that Elphaba and Fiyero had a love affair in the book. But I think there’s a bit more nuance to it.

The whole point of Glinda’s character is that she upholds the status quo of Oz. No matter how much she loves Elphaba or sympathizes with the plight of the Animals, she will always align herself with the current system and those in power. And as long as that remains the case, a relationship between her and Elphaba is futile because Elphaba will not give up her cause.

Elphaba and Glinda represent to different ends of a spectrum. Elphaba resists the oppressive forces in Oz, while Glinda upholds them. But Fiyero is somewhere in the middle. He starts out privileged and carefree like Glinda, but quickly turns to Elphaba’s side. He does become Captain of the Guard, but only to find Elphaba and help her evade arrest.

And therein lies the difference between Glinda and Fiyero as love interests to Elphaba. Glinda would never sacrifice her title as “the Good Witch” and all her power granted from the Wizard, even if it meant helping Elphaba. Fiyero, on the other hand, does give up his privilege, his title, and even his human form for Elphaba. Glinda clings to what the status quo gives her, while Fiyero ultimately rejects it.

Yes, the writing around Elphaba and Fiyero’s romance is a bit rushed and doesn’t have the same gradual development that Elphaba and Glinda have. And yes, I have no doubt heteronormativity played a role in giving Elphaba a male love interest in the end. But I see a lot of people write off Fiyero and his relationship with Elphaba and I just don’t agree.

Why does Elphaba end up with Fiyero instead of Glinda? Because Fiyero makes the sacrifices that Glinda wasn’t willing to.
