Scar: What? No point in letting it go to waste, am I right?
Pearl: Hey whoa whoa whoa
Pearl: Let's hold our horses
Pearl: Why- why do we even need to go to the Nether, anyway?
Scar: Isn't the Enchanting Table there this time, Grian?
Grian: A-yup.
Grian: It's just plopped in a Bastion in there. 'Cause why not.
Scar: Ancient City is a hard act to follow, huh?
Grian: Eh, it works as long as nobody gets access to enchantments too early.
Gem: You don't say! Then maybe WE shouldn't be going there so soon, huh Grian?
Grian: Don't tell me that GeminiSlay is scared of some little piggies!
Grian: I fully expect you to carry, by the by.

Talia took a 20+ Year Undercover mission a while ago
So! Talia is the Daughter of Ra's Al Ghul, and has been alive and at his side for many years now. Decades even. She is well into her 100's, even though her physical Body looks like that of a 20 yr old.
And in all the years that she has lived, what's to say she didn't take a few years off as a vacation? Even Ra's must take a few years off every once in a while, leaving to spend time on some remote island he can relax on for once. So, one day in the Early 80's she decided to do the same.
But she wouldn't be completely relaxing, she would take the break to further the League's goals still. She decided to Dye her Hair, change her Name, get into an acceptable College, and study Lazarus Waters to their scientific limit. She decided to name if Ectoplasm, to avoid any unwanted attention.
And while there, she met a pair of men doing the exact same.
Jack and Vladimir were nice enough. Although their Research was more focused on Ghosts, or as she would call them, Pit Demons. They were convinced that Ectoplasm and Ghosts came from another Dimension, and if they could find a way to open a Dimension Gateway to this theoretical Ghost Zone, they could aquire Limitless Clean Energy (and maybe find a way to contain the Ghostly threat).
Over the years, Talia Maddie would fall for Jack. Eventually, even after she had completed her College Studies and Vlad had left contact with them, she decided to extend her Vacation to further study Ectoplasm with Jack. One thing led to another, and eventually she found herself pregnant. And then it happened again.
Jazzmine and Daniel were the cutest little babies. But she knew the danger they would be in if it was ever discovered that she was their Mother, so she trained them in everything she could so they could survive. She knew her time as Maddie Fenton was coming short, but she resolved to stay, at the very least until Jazz was an Adult.
She didn't account for Daniel becoming a Small Town Hero, but those were just the Trials of motherhood.
Then, the day came. She left a note on her bedside table explaining that she regretted what had to happen, and left in the middle of the night. It was better this way.
...
The year right after she returned, her Father forced her to have a Child with his most prospective Heir. The Bat, he called himself. Oh he was Charming, there was no denying that, but unfortunately she was still working through her feelings about Jack.
She treated her resulting child poorly because of that, and that she regreted it deeply. She loved him, honestly she did, but it was hard to look at him and not remember Daniel. Still, she persevered.
The day she once again had to give up her son for his protection was the hardest of her life.
But it was unavoidable. The Coup that had taken her Father's life had also fractured the Organization, anyone could have taken their shot at her Son as the rightful Heir. She needed to protect him as she took care of the Traitors.
...
Damian always knew he was the One True Heir. It was his defining character trait for his early years of life. Even though he had grown to be more than just that over recent years, he always felt like it was a key part of his identity.
Until now.
Because the BatComputer had just finished running a DNA Test on the Blood of a man who he had spotted on his Patrol the previous night.
A DNA Test that had come back, with results claiming that the man, who looked almost exactly like a younger male version of his Mother, was his Half Brother.

💋
everyone sending ‘💋’ in my inbox gets a kiss from my muse.
II selectively accepting II @hlsng
There had been a lot of things about Guillermo that had been bothering him lately, for starters, his new friendship with this other vampire. Matteo. How him all is a sudden had decided to become vampire finger food. All those times that he had stopped others from munching on him and for what? So he could go ahead and let himself be bitten by another vampire under his own roof? He did not know what had bothered him the most, Guillermo allowing this to happen or simply him not coming to him first. If he wanted a vampire to taste his blood, why not him? Too late to think about that now (even if he did plan to bring it up when he had the chance), but this was the reason why he was here now.
A kiss. Nandor had taken the liberty to do exactly this, and he did so without thinking about Guillermo’s reaction could be, but he needed to do it, he needed to do it before he went ahead and asked for another vampire to kiss him as well, because he knew that that was the last thing he needed. -- He had taken the other's face in his hands and kissed him without allowing himself to put much thought into it, otherwise, he wouldn't have done it. It was meant to be a quick and brief, but it ended up being everything but that. Nandor found Guillermo’s lips incredible soft and warm, and difficult for him to pull away from, and as selfish as he was, he was not going to deprive himself of something that he wanted, that he was enjoying more than what he had initially thought he would and ended up getting a bit carried away.
He pushed him against the wall as he deepened the kiss, as he grew tempted to bite Guillermo’s lips, but that's where he stopped. He had to. He broke the kiss but remained closed to Guillermo thinking for a moment about what had just happened and allowing it to sink in. Nandor moved his hands from Guillermo’s face down to his shoulders. He hadn't thought of how Guillermo was going to react at first, but now he did and he was not ready to hear whatever he was about to say. "Excuse me." He patted his shoulders in such an awkward way, before he quickly walked away to lock himself in his room.
