Getting to Know More
Fun facts about Terry McGinnis:
He was a notorious middle child in a HUGE family: Dick, Jason, Athanasia, Cassandra, Tim, Duke, Damian, Alina, himself, Helena, Thomas, Bruce Jr., and Matt. His extended family included Dick’s wife, and Dick’s kids, Thomas, Mar’i, and Jake; Jason’s adopted daughter Lian Harper; Tim’s wife, Stephanie; and Duke’s wife; Claire Clover. His extended, extended family also had Uncle Luke’s and Aunt Babs’ kids; Carrie and Nell, Bette Kane, Grampa Lucius, and, well, at this point one got the picture; huge ass colony of Bats living in Gotham here.
He shredded it where skateboard, hockey, motocross were concerned, but he had the coordination of a spaz for baseball and surfing.
His mom was awesome on epic proportions. Seriously, he didn’t know how she did it but she redefined super mom.
Another thing to know, he totally did not have a crush on the Princess of Atlantis, he was only going with her to this movie because he happened to like it, and because Mareena was the only chick he knew who didn’t like chick flicks (Mar’i, Helena, Lian, and Max could all go Suck It! He was going to see a damn action flick if it fucking killed him this year!) Mareena just also happened to like action flicks, which was why she was here with him.
Standing there in the theatre line he tried not to stare at Mareena who was hiding her identity under a hoodie she had stolen from his room when she had walk up to the Manor with a movie for them to see. Mareena did not have friends in Atlantis who appreciated the arts of action flicks. Terry didn’t care though, he was no longer being that weirdo who was going to a theatre alone. Also, she was a chick Dana could not get jealous over and drive him insane. He would think college meant that the drama would die off with the age grow up, but apparently not. And he was not getting blue balls because Dana was having imaginary jealous fits over imaginary slights.
“Why can the line not move faster,” Mareena huffed.
“Because the line is moving this pace because people are slow. Besides, we’re ahead of the line for the premiere line,” he jabbed his thumb over his shoulder to show her. Mareena frowned.
“You people are annoying,” Mareena said icily.
“How are we annoying, you wanted to go to this movie, so I’m going with you to see this movie,” he said.
“I would’ve asked someone else, but,” she started.
“There’s no one but Don and Dawn, and we both know there’s no way in hell that Barry and Iris would let them come.”
“I could’ve gone to New Krypton,” Mareena argued.
“Oh yes, because watching their movies is so entertaining,” Terry rolled his eyes.
“You land dwellers have no appreciation for the fine arts of moving with a flow,” Mareena argued.
“Pipe down, and don’t draw attention of the paparazzi,” he snapped when her hood started falling off of her head, which had him pulling it more firmly over the green hair of hers. Only disadvantage of going to the movies with Mareena was the fact her hair glowed in the dark. But other than that, trade offs, made it worth it!
“You do realize they’d be more inclined to notice you and not me, right?”
“I’m wearing a Gotham Knights cap, and I am not royalty, I’m just one of a hundred Wayne kids,” Terry point out.
“I thought you were a Prince,” Mareena said.
“No, I’m a Wayne,” he said. “Not royalty.”
“You are also…” she held up her index fingers by her head and smiled a bit.
“Yeah, but that doesn’t count,” he shrugged. Dick had been Batman, Jason had briefly been to save Dick’s wedding, Cass currently was, Damian was next. It wasn’t anything special anymore, it wasn’t special in the family he belonged in. Though B was still the control freak behind the scenes for them so technically B was still the Bat.
“Why not?”
“Cause B’s the big man in charge.”
“Your dad is in a wheelchair,” Mareena pointed out.
“Partial paralyses is not a disability, it just means his legs have to take a break sometimes and Mom has to push him around, it’s not abnormal to what normally happens with him,” he shrugged.
“You guys have issues,” Mareena stated.
Terry merely shrugged. “Dad’s fine, we’re fine, it’s all fine!” he snorted.
“Last time you said that everything was on fire,” Mareena stated.
“Let me restate we’re fine. But mostly keep your hair away so I don’t have to explain to Dana why the hell I’m seen with another woman.” Terry stated.
“Ah, the nefarious Dana, why are you still dating that woman?” Mareena asked. “She was bratty when you were a teen, she’s worse now.”
“Not all of us get fairy tale romances,” Terry shrugged. “Besides, I like sex, sex is a great relief to the stress of everything.”
“You sound like a cad.”
“You should hear my sisters talk,” he shrugged. Mar’i, Helena, Max, and Lian were way worse than him about the sex talks, girls were all about feelings, and emotions and connections, it was annoying, and they always talked about it and guys! Terry probably knew more about women than the average guy and it was a disturbing amount information his sisters had given him. And just to clarify, he thought of Mar’i, Lian and Max as his sisters because he had known them since he was in diapers! It was hard to think of them as anything remotely close to something other than sisters.
“And you shouldn’t knock down romance,” Mareena stated. “Your family has the most epic love stories according to my father. Other than maybe Diana and Steve’s.”
“You’re nuts!” he sputtered.
“Am not, the story of B and Selina, Dick and Kori, Jason and Raven, Tim and Stephanie, B and Talia,” she stated. “Epic romances.”
“That’s just gross, and disturbing to think about my family’s love lives,” he grimaced.
“You guys are secret sweethearts I bet,” Mareena decided with a cheeky smile.
“We are the Knight! We are the Terror of Nightmares! We are NOT Sweethearts! Even Alina is even an epic of epic badasses,” he argued. His phone buzzed and he pulled it out to see the text was from his mom.
“What’s up?”
“After the movie we need to go get Matt, Carrie, Tommy and Nell from school. Babs and Luke had to go to Africa,” he said.
“Oh.”
“So we’ll get them, get a slice, and then I’ll drop you off, or are you tubing?” he asked.
“Why would I be tubing?”
“Cause it’s up or down with you,” he retorted.
“Can I stay? I haven’t hung around the surface too much, and I do not want to go to the Tower,” she said.
“Yeah. Julia will help us set up a room for you,” Terry said. Julia had come to Gotham recently because Alfred was sick.
“Who is Julia?” Mareena asked.
“Julia is Alfred’s daughter,” he answered.
“Alfred is not B’s father?” she said in bizarre wonderment.
“Uh… yeah, not a secret,” he pointed out. “Alfred is awesome, and he’s totally grandpa, but he’s not blood.” Terry shrugged.
“WHAT!?” Mareena sputtered. Terry jumped a bit as he stared at her bewildered expressioned.
“What!?”
“He’s not blood!?”
“No, I mean, like ninety percent of my family isn’t blood.”
“Really?”
“Yeah,” he shrugged. “It’s not news.”
“I…” she started. “I always thought you were related,” he said.
“Really?”
“Black hair, blue eyes, ungodly pale.”
“What about Duke or Damian!?” he sputtered.
“Okay, so you don’t all look alike,” she rolled her eyes.
“Exactly, and we are all pretty much adopted. Only Athanasia, Damian, Alina, Helena, Tommy, Junior, Matt and I are actually B’s blood kids.”
“I thought you were just… you know, cause you’re a huge family and dad says B started young, really young, so I just assumed,” she shrugged.
“It’s all public record,” he shrugged. “B hasn’t been shy about it. Dick, Babs, Jason, Cass, Tim, Duke, Steph, technically and kind of, Harper, Cullen, Bette, and Renee.”
“I just thought you were related, and I thought you were also, you know,” she shrugged innocently.
“What else did you think we were!?” He sputtered.
“Vampires,” she said innocently.
“I hate dad for starting that rumor,” Terry muttered sourly.
“That one is funny though!” She persisted. “Hal told me, before I met you guys, that you were all demons.”
“Well, Rae is,” he shrugged.
“I thought your dad was big anti- anything that isn’t human marrying into my family,” Mareena said.
“Luci made valid points which had B accepting the fact marrying into a family as divine and powerful as Rae’s is a… you know, it’s kind of a divine honor,” Terry shrugged. “Besides, I didn’t know they weren’t married until they were officially married.”
“You didn’t know they weren’t married?” Mareena asked.
“They’ve been together since I was in diapers,” Terry shrugged.
“Really?”
“Yes really. I’m pretty sure they were the ones who found me,” Terry said.
“I’m learning more about you than I ever thought possible.”
“All of this is actually public record.”
“Really?” she asked skeptically.
“My biological mother was Mary McGinnis, she was married to Warren McGinnis, they died in a car crash when I was three days old and they were driving home from the hospital. I’m technically property of A.R.G.U.S. so Waller took me in, Jason found me about a year later,” Terry explained.
“That’s weird,” she decided.
“No, what’s weirder is the fact that Matt is my full brother,” Terry stated. “Mary and Warren were dead five years before Matt was even conceived, and he’s my full brother.”
“What?”
“Yeah.”
“I thought you were B’s blood son,” Mareena said carefully.
“I am. Waller injected a serum into Warren McGinnis’ DNA to scramble his own DNA to match with Bruce’s. Warren was a chimera essentially thanks to Waller’s tinkering,” Terry said. “I’m a ‘clone’ of Bruce’s in a way or I was supposed to be with what Waller set up, and I’m his son, but NO, he did not get involved in the conception of me or my blood brother Matt. He’s the genetic material for us. He’s still Dad though since he’s well, Dad,” Terry shrugged.
“That’s complicated.”
“That’s my family. Also, completely public record,” he shrugged.
“You’re not normal,” she said icily.
“What!? I’m completely normal! I’m going to a movie, and with you no less, in broad daylight, and I’m not turning to ash because of the sun either!” he smiled.
“You’re sounding like a assbutt,” she muttered.
“Asshole,” he corrected. “And you started it.”
“What did you expect from my family?” she asked.
“Lots of energy,” he answered honestly. “Dad always said that you guys were energetic like no tomorrow and wild, also unpredictable, dangerous, and loud, very loud.”
“You expected that!?” she sputtered.
“Did you think I was expecting a mermaid from Little Mermaid, fishtail and all?” he asked her.
“Yes!”
“Nah,” he shrugged.
“You’re an ass,” she informed him.
“I’m aware.”
“Good.”
“Besides, I’m a you know,” he shrugged. “Being unpleasant and assholes in general are required.”
“Oh! The ticket booth! And next time we are dropping your family name to get into the movie.”
“You wanted to be a normal American teen this time instead of being a Princess of you know,” he said.
“I did not want that. You wanted that. Freaking love of invisibility. I swear if you were metas you’d all be like that.”
“Rae cast an invisibility spell once, that was awesome, terrifying and cool.”
“Why!?”
“Oh, the demons were hunting her, I was like seven, and it was a giant hide and seek game,” Terry said.
“That’s not normal.”
“You grew up under the sea,” he pointed out.
“You grew up in Gotham.”
“I don’t like you right now,” she decided.
“You adore me, I’m paying for the movie,” he pointed out.
“True,” she decided.
“Awe, you two are an adorable couple!” the ticket attendant said when they stepped up to buy the tickets for S.O.S. “First date?”
“We’re not a couple,” Terry stated as he paid for the tickets.
“But we are friends!” Mareena declared slinging her arm around his shoulders.
“Barely.”
“You adore me!” she declared.
Terry rolled his eyes as the ticket clerk chuckled but gave them their tickets. “I’ll spring for the snacks, you get the good seats,” he ordered as they had their ticket punched and walked into the crowd.

Mini Trinity + Friends: Hogwarts AU
Please note that this is an au hence, they are not superheroes. Mentions of them being superheroes are only to show personalities. They are all in the same year, unless stated otherwise
Damian is a Muggle-born Slytherin
Muggle-born: Both Bruce and Talia are humans. Enough said
Despite being a muggle, Damian is very proficient in magic and is considered to be the top student alongside one other student and never faltering
Slytherin: As stated many times, he is his father’s son, hence, is very like him in terms of personality too - resourceful, ambitious, determined, clever and a certain disregard for all rules which are all traits of a Slytherin.
He is one of the rare few to be in Slytherin despite being a muggle
The sorting hat had troubles deciding for him considering he has the heart of a Hufflepuff and the wit of a Ravenclaw too but the fact that Damian values resourcefulness and determination (or some say stubbornness) place him in Slytherin
Alumni siblings include Dick Grayson (Hufflepuff), Jason Todd (Gryffindor)
Tim Drake (Ravenclaw) and Cass Cain (Hufflepuff) are still in Hogwarts but have graduated by the time Damian is in the fourth year
Considered the Slytherin Prince, well because despite being a muggle, he acts all entitled and condescending with people outside his circle of trust
He is seen to be with Maya Ducard most of the time considering they are in the same house
His other friends include you, Jon, Maps and Kathy.
He never interacts with Tim and if they do, there is so much animosity that you start to wonder how are they even brothers??
He will just nod at Cass whenever he sees around and she only return that much so not much interaction between the two hence when people find out that they are actually siblings, people will be like what???
He is the one that brings you to the Yule ball and he asked you so publicly that everyone is so envious
He becomes the Quidditch captain later on and retaining his position as seeker
He has potential to become head boy but he refuses after already being captain
His most notable rivalry comes from the Slytherin students who look down on others and Jon. Jon especially. But, that isn’t a full form Rivalry but a friendly competition. Just not that friendly when playing Quidditch
Jon is a half-blood Gryffindor
Half-blood: Lois is a human while Clark is of Krypton descent hence he is like a wizard in this AU.
He is right behind Damian in academics but on par with him when it comes to arithmetic and potions. He does lag behind by a slight margin when it comes to charms
Gryffindor: As seen when facing Time Commander, he is very strong-willed yet can be reckless, as noted by Clark, despite his bravery
The sorting hat has troubles sorting him into Gryffindor or Hufflepuff considering how kind-hearted, loyal and dedicated he is. However, he values bravery above everything else and is always seen to be playing the hero of the day
Alumni relative is Kara Danvers (Hufflepuff) while his adoptive brother - Conner - is in the same house as him and is in the same year as Tim & Cass
His best friend is Kathy who is in the same house as him
You are also his best friend but he can’t be around you as much considering the different houses. And Damian too, just that he won’t admit it
He and Conner can be seen to play Quidditch when he was still in Hogwarts. Conner would invite Tim and tell him to ask Damian but Tim would just give him a deadpan look and told him that Damian will use the ball to purposely throw them at him instead because TT, don’t be foolish Drake, this is practice
When Jon join the Quidditch team, Kathy joked that she will become the announcer, and she did!
Conner is such an overprotective brother and it was proven when some 5th year tried picking on Jon when he was still a first year and Conner came charging out of nowhere
He accidentally walked in on Conner and Cassie once and he could not make eye contact with them for weeks after that
Jon asks Kathy to be his partner for the Yule Ball and it is all thanks to you badgering him
He is also a seeker and face much competition from Damian and much more rivalry when he, too, becomes captain
You are a pureblood Hufflepuff
Pureblood: Considering that Diana is an Amazon, a princess at that, that is a pureblood in my books for this au. And since I really like having the trinity being of different blood heritage, you’re a pureblood
You’re on par with Damian in all your academics, sharing the title of being first with him
Hufflepuff: It is drilled into you to be kind, patient and just before anything else. Loving someone and valuing truth are the first few lessons in life. On top of that, loyalty to your sisters is expected of an Amazon
Being a champion of/blessed by Athena, you are as wise and creative as her and understands the value of the arts and knowledge but being Wonder Girl, you have come to acknowledge that kindness, love and justice are the things that truly save the world, much similar to Diana
Alumni “aunt” is Donna Troy (Ravenclaw) while your cousin, Cassie, is in Gryffindor and being in the same year as Conner
You are everyone’s friend so you are seen more having a different group of friends every week than just having someone permanent to stick to
Hence, you are dubbed as the Hufflepuff Princess and such a balance to the Slytherin Prince himself
But, you can be seen studying with Maps after and between classes in the library. The other four will join you two most of the time but you and Maps really dislike it when they do because Jon and Damian would not stop having petty arguments which sometimes end up with all six of you getting kicked out
Cass, despite being not much a talker, is like your older sister. Sure, Cassie looks out for you but it’s hard to always go to her for company when she’s in a different house
You and Cass can always be found in each other’s room and sometimes people wonder why can’t the headmistress/master just make them roommates??
Jon and Damian entered their names in the Triwizard tournaments but yours is the one that is drawn. Their pride took a hit so much that they had a mutual understanding to never bring that up but Maps, Maya and Kathy will never let them live it down
You eventually become the head girl instead of captain; you play a beater and everyone is so scared of you on the field even the two seekers whom you call your friends. Maps and Maya are your biggest fans. Damian will disagree
Alright, end of headcanon; this will be the only headcanon I’m doing for the Mini Trinity: Hogwarts AU cause 1. I don’t have that much headcanon for them being in Hogwarts and 2. I want to work on my drabbles. So, here’s some drabbles you can look forward to:
Tim and Damian getting into a fight and them being them, they just have the influence to make people side with them so I guess it makes sense that is suddenly become a house competition when a food fight occurs??
All Jon wanted was to confess to Kathy about his feelings and with Yule Ball approaching, maybe that’s a good idea but suddenly it becomes a competition between Jon and Damian about who can ask out their dates in a better way
Damian is not a pureblood and everyone in Slytherin knows it and the popular kids make it a point to remind him that which leads to him breaking down and being comforted by you
Quidditch practice is essential, said Bart and somehow he convinces all his friends and your friends to a Quidditch match but how did it spiral to a session of Damian trying to kill Tim and how does he make a broomstick into a weapon and why is he running instead of using that broomstick to actually fly??
Damian just wants a day out with his beloved at Hogsmeade but is that his friends trailing him?
Instead of going home for Christmas break, the Mini Trinity decided to stay at Hogwarts and what could go wrong? Totally nothing, with the exception of those huge spiders from the Forbidden Forest, totally nothing
Damian getting teased over how easily jealous he gets when the students from Durmstrang are flirting with you but Jon is now tasting his own medicine when Kathy gets involved too. Apparently, now Jon and Damian are great buddies
Etcetc, more will come I hope. Anyways, I was thinking, what do you guys think about a Hogwarts AU whereby Jon is from Hogwarts, Damian from Durmstrang and you from Beauxbatons and are the respective champions for the Triwizard Competition and it all goes downhill when you all start to piece together the notes you all get alongside your hints but it is all too late because Savage is right in front of the trophy
