Teen Titans: The Lost Generation

Chapter 12: The Harvest Festival

The team goes to a Harvest Festival on the outskirts of Gotham.

Chapter Preview: Halloween time in Gotham was always a weird time. The cops were scared to do anything because they usually could not tell villains, vigilantes, and costumed civilians apart. (Not that there was much of a difference to begin with sometimes. Well, at least in Jason’s opinion) On the outskirts of the city, a Harvest Festival had been set up. Jason had convinced the team to come with him for the afternoon and into the evening. He had always wanted to go and actually enjoy the fair instead of working as a pickpocket, but the opportunity had never come around until now. Needless to say, he was insufferable as he ran around the fair and practically dragged poor Tom by the wrist in the process. Eddie and Rose followed at a safe distance, chuckling the whole time despite the weird tension between them that neither was willing to discuss

Not Ted scruffing Tommy LMFAOOOO

Justice Society of America #14 (2006-)

[leoruby-draws]

Having something a little different here, not really introducing a new team member per say, but a friend and ally of sorts. Here's Tom Bronson aka Tomcat, son of Ted Grant aka Wildcat! I love cats, look how many are in this pic, everyone's having a fun time (except Grant lol).

Tom debuted in Justice Society of America 2007, which I enjoyed tho it lacked the space for all those characters (a common problem I noticed in a lot of earth 2/jsa stuff), Since he was introduced in the first issue, you would think that he'd be a pretty important character onwards. But alas, he rarely got any focus past the early few issues, even in JSA All-Stars he wasn't given a lot of page time. Then new52 hit and he got erased, not sure if he's been re-introduced back yet.

He and Ted had a pretty good relationship in the book, Tom never blamed Ted for not being in his life and even actively keep up the distance as an adult. Up until Vandal Savage tries to attack them at least. Here in the TrWh au, it can be assumed Tom was discovered at an earlier age (he's 11 to Jason's 10 btw).

Also I said up there that Tom isn't a new team member, but I did wanted to do that originality. That's because in the comics, Tom really didn't like fighting at all when Ted meet him. And that's because Tom has a secret ability to transform into a werecat, something he inherited from his mother. Ironically he keep it secret from her, maybe that'll change in this au.

Ted seemed to help Tom get over his hang-up over fighting somehow, it's not really explained how exactly (like I said, Tom didn't get much focus past tho early issues).I wished that he kinda keep up his reluctant pacifism, it's a unique outlook in a world full of heroes and villains fighting each other.

So at the moment he's a non-combatant ally of the Outlaws, maybe that'll change later who knows.

Since I'm introducing him at at an earlier age, he's still in that anti-fighting mindset, and prefers to stay out of trouble. So he can't really help the team in combat issues, but they can still hang out and have fun in other ways.

Tom's tries to come off as cool and standoffish, but that seems to be a way to hide his skittish and kind-hearted nature. He's been feeling stressed and lonely, esp with how his mother is currently sick and bedridden. Perhaps some friends will do him good!

Here's Tom hanging out with the other Wildcats, his father and Yolanda Montez. Tom is fun to draw, esp in his werecat form. I might be making him more like a cat than a panther, but cats are so fun to draw. I'm basing some this of my mom's own cat, a black cat like Tom.

I really liked Yolanda, she had a real aura of confidence and was really outspoken about what she wanted. I admit I might be a bit biased, since I'm also a Latina as well (¯\_(ツ)_/¯). You can see her trying to 'help' Tom with training to fight, he doesn't seem to enthused with the idea. There's also Ted showing affection with his son, look at the mini cat suit, Tom is so done lol.

More of Tom spending time with Yolanda, they have fun together. Btw Yolanda might already be Wildcat at this point or at least just about to, a bit earlier than in canon but why not?

Jason messes with Tom, he can't help himself. Tom doesn't seem to know how to react with Jason sometimes, esp when Jason jokes around with him. But the jokes never feel too mean-spirited so it's not too much of a bother.

If you ever read Fruits Basket, then you know there's this character with the ability to call forth cats to him. Tom doesn't quite have that power but cats seem to gravitate to him anyways. Looks like Jason called in a favor for his little brother Damian.

Here's a comic that I'd meant to go on a little longer but couldn't think up of what to come next. It's meant to show how Tom meets the team and decides to become friends. Tom seems unsure and almost insecure about why he's being 'recruited' to be friends. Rose seems surprised at Tom's stance but Eddie seems happy to make another friend. But why does Jason want to be friends?

You know there's been some meta about how Jason probably wouldn't have mind not being Robin and just be the civilian son of Bruce Wayne. YMMV on whether you can agree with that or not, I can see reasoning for it tho it should be noted Jason was really ecstatic to be Robin. I'll keep it ambiguous on whether or not Jason would want to hang up the cape, but I keep this reasoning in mind for his interactions with Tom. Tom not wanting to fight at all is a viewpoint Jason has not really come across in his interactions with heroes. As said in the comic, he finds it 'interesting'. Perhaps he was also drawn to Tom's conviction in his ideals as well, maybe Jason finds it kinda admirable in a way.

The team Jason, Rose and Eddie made is in some ways a place to have fun and hang out, to escape from lonely and unhappy lives. It the same reason why other members of the team joined in, to just do things their own way and on their own time. Members come and go at their leisure (the team have multiple places to hang but no official headquarters) so it's a fairly casual and unrestricted type of team. Having a member who doesn't even fight is not really a problem. Though Tom sometimes feels lonely when team members go out on combat missions, and he gets left behind.

There's also the little detail of the team being 'unofficial', I don't think I ever shown that info before. Though I'll probably talk about that for another time.

Well, hope you liked that!

Actually #1 in-universe Bombcat shipper is Ted Grant

- “Al’s boys are practically already family, even if your fella wasn’t named after me on top a that!” (They both about keel over)

- Grant being a fitness freak = Tommy in the gym more

- Grant being OP = less paranoid about Tommy’s safety

- Felt a need to look out for best friend’s traumatized youngest; marrying him into the family facilitates this

- He knows where Grant’s been, unlike some of the folk who hang around when Tommy plays some of his venues

🌀Post the fic summary for a fic you haven't written/published yet. It can be hypothetical or something you really plan on releasing..

YOUR FEELINGS AND MINE ARE ALL HOLY (LONELY) He gets it. Bette Kane is a wildfire. Scorching, hot and hungry. Or an exploding star, subdued only by the magnitude of distance between planets - reaching for everything it can. That won’t stop him from reaching back. After all, when has he ever avoided an explosion?

Just a fun little one-shot set pre-CHIROPTERA of how Tom and Bette meet, and little observations made by Tom about her. (Also fun nods here and there about his friendship with Grant/his experiences with the JSA).

Hi love you said you wanted prompts so here goes:

Tom and Jake with the word ‘studying’.

Tom's tail flicked with irritation as he tried to hurry through the homework he had brought over to his dads'.

Deciding to help him out, Jake took a seat next to him on the couch. He looked over at what it was.

“Trouble with music?” Jake had missed out on most of the dedicated music classes, but he hoped what he remembered from them would be useful.

“Yeah!” Tom looked up at Jake. “I am supposed to put the letter by the note. But I don't remember how to.”

He leaned back against the couch.

“How am I ever going to be a musician like this!?” Tom pouted.

Definitely something Jake could help with at least. “You'll get there.” He checked the clef and was relieved it was the one he remembered. “Face in the space and every good boy deserves fudge, right?”

Tom gave him a baffled look. “Huh?”

“That's how I learned it.”

It had only been a few years. Less than ten. The way they taught it couldn't have changed that quickly, could it?

Jake explained. “The letters in the spaces between the bars going up spell out face. And the bars going up have the first letters for every good boy deserves fudge.”

“Oh.” Tom scrunched up his face. “That would have been good to know.”

“Anything else you need help with?”

“No.” Tom tilted his head as he reconsidered. “Yes.”

Jake smiled. “What do you need help with?”

“We're doing a family tree project. How do I add Yolanda and Albert?“

Jake blinked. That was a very good question.

“I think we might need to ask Pops or Dad that.”

Girl your name is Tigress not panther and more importantly if anyone is a panther it's him not you since a panther is just a big cat that's all black.
