A Married Man
Cw // infidelity, cursing, brief alluisons to torture, pregnancy
A/N : Probably Ooc Price, idk. I feel it's a tad bit realistic, but he is also very mean. also he has a wife. Also the reader is kinda mean, too
I've been scared before.
Scared when hostages don’t comply or respond to torture tactics the way they should. Nervous when I get hit enough times that my body screams. I get frantic when witnesses repeat the same grueling, unnecessary details completely unrelated to my questions. Wasted time was the difference between life and death.
I get scared, sure. But right now . . . I'm terrified.
I've taken five tests, all with the same result. I spent most of my midnight begging and praying that this was all a dream that I couldn't have messed up this bad.
But I woke up this morning in the same nightmare.
I've moved through my day roboticly, but now comes the moment my day has been leading up to. I knocked on my Captains door, the name plate taunting me, serving to remind me that I knew what I was getting into.
"Captain, I need to talk to you." I try to keep all emotion out of my voice.
He pauses his work and looks up at me, making me avert my eyes. "Talk about what exactly?"
"I'm so sorry, John, " As soon as the words leave my mouth, tears start swelling in my eyes. "I really thought we were being careful."
His brow furrows with confusion. "What happened?"
I had all day to prepare what to say but right now everything feels as if it's spilling out of a boiling pot. "I know you didn't tell your wife, and we were keeping it a secret, and I thought I was on birth control, but..." my throat burns and before I could say anything else I feel tears run down my face.
He stares at me his eyes burning into my very soul searching for the unspoken. "You got pregnant!?"
"I'm so sorry John. What are we- What do we tell your wife?
Silence
Silence so thick you can cut through it.
Then he stands taking of his hat and holding it in his hands. He lools at me as if he is in physical pain from this conversation.
"Are you sure that's my child?"
Wait.
What
Am I sure that's his- "Are you seriously calling me a whore John? Fuck, I knew we shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't have slept with you."
"You’re missing my point, love." He stares down at me. "There might be another reason for you being pregnant other than me. I’m not saying you’re a ‘hoe’, I’m saying I know you’re seeing other people. And you’re telling me that the child is mine?"
His face relaxes. This isn't how i imagine this to go maybe its my hormones, or maybe it's his stupid face, but everything about his demeanor is infuriating me. I stand up. "John, I've been sleeping with you and only you for five months now. I cut everyone else off because I wanted to I be with you. "
I feel restless as if the anxiety and anger running through my body can't let me sit still, so I start pacing his office. "I should have fucked gaz instead."
He remains unmoved by my rant. He stays cold, and actually stares me down, his expression slowly growing to anger.
"Do not mention Gaz in that manner."
"Why not? With the way he looks at me, I'm sure he would've jumped at the chance. But no, I had to sleep with the married guy." I throw my hands up in exasperated anger.
He steps towards me
"Do not think for even a second that he looks at you that way." He lowers his voice. "Nor is he the kind to sleep with an irresponsible woman."
Irresponsible woman??
Irre- "Irresponsible woman?!? Did you forget you came to me first? You slept with the irresponsible woman?"
He raises his eyebrows, letting a small smile yug at his lips
"I have not forgotten. But I know for a fact, I wasn’t the one trying to seduce a married, older man into an irresponsible relationship. That was you. A young woman who had no idea what she was doing. So, yes, you are the irresponsible one."
I look him in eyes and scoff at his audacity.
"But that's the thing, John, you are older than me and married, not to mention you're my CO. Im sure the higher-ups and your wife would love to hear how Captain Price was in an affair with his subordinate and knocked her up."
He laughs, this time a full-on, hard-as-nails laugh
"You’re threatening to blackmail me? That’s hilarious."
He takes a hearty step towards me.
"Your little plan of threatening me with my career and reputation won’t work, love. Because you know what they’ll do if you tell everybody about our affair? They’ll kick your ass to the curb, and you’ll be thrown out of the regiment."
I don't know how to explain the emotion I feel. Anger. Disbelief. Sadness.
I'm done.
" I can't believe I loved you, John. I don't know why I thought you were any different." I turn toward the door to leave this conversation in this room to never leave again.
"Don't worry about the baby or me because you'll never have to see us again."
Before I can leave the room, he puts his hat on and stands in front of the door.
"Love, where do you think you’re going?" His voice is still cold.
I try to cool my face into one of indifference.
"Captain, you don't even think the child is yours. This entire conversation shows that we aren't mature enough to raise a baby together."
I try to take a steay breath, but it comes out shaky. "I'm going to get a discharge and leave. Maybe I'll find a nice house where I can raise the baby and start a new job. "
I look him in the eyes, trying to show the meaning behind my words
"I'm not going to force you to be there for them... Captain."
Still, that isn't enough to make him move
"You’re not leaving, love. You’re right. I don’t know if the child is mine. But," His face softens, and his voice turns gentle. "I can’t imagine not being a part of this child’s life. And as your CO, love, I won’t allow you to leave without my say so."
"So what, Captain, what do you want me to do? Because we don't live in this perfect world where people don't ask questions."
" Listen, you can't be a part of my child's life and still live yours."
I take a step towards the door and, in turn him "Let me leave John"
He steps closer to me, his face just inches away from mine
"And why can’t I raise my child while still living my life, hm? What do you think I do at home? Stare at a wall?" He leans in even closer, brushing my nose with his, and whispers: "No, love. I can’t let you leave just yet."
"I think you go home to your wife, and I'm not sure she'll be too happy with you coming home with a kid." I whisper.
A small smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth.
"And if, hypothetically, I was to divorce her, would that be a more better answer to your worries?"

Damian al Ghul Wayne + Ramadan
Sooooo, I’m Muslim and I’m definitely using Damian Wayne for my own self indulgence while fasting LOOL. 
So quick background for any of those who don’t know what Ramadan is. Ramadan is essentially a holy month for Muslims, in which we fast for 30 days from sunrise to sunset. Besides fasting, muslims are encouraged to be more spiritually involved, whether thats through giving to charity or reading from our holy book. This month is essentially a way to heal our spirituality and our beliefs.
So without further ado, here’s some pure headcanons of Damian Wayne during Ramadan:
- During Ramadan, many Gotham Muslims can spot robin perched by their Mosques. Sometimes, just making sure everyone is safe while entering and also just wanting to listen to the familiar verses of Arabic as they are read out loud
- There was one time where after prayer a bunch of little kids decided to play basketball. They spotted robin and encouraged him to play with them too. Damian accidentally missed a batsignal call because of this, and as a result didn’t show up. So when Batman went to investigate where his son went, he didn’t even have the heart to be mad at him, because he could see his son finally acting like a kid again
- many of the older Muslim women pinch his cheeks or give him compliments, to which Damian blushes (but it also makes his chest hurt, because it reminds of a time where his nanny’s and teachers would do the same)
- Damian carries dates in his pockets, and hands them out
- Bruce also donated a large sum of money to a local Mosque in Damian’s name, and he saw his son nearly smile for almost a week
- he once offered his cape to a young woman so she could use it as a prayer mat (he even once gave his cape to a little girl, so she could use it as a hijab to pray alongside her mother)
- Damian is often seen sitting outside a Mosque with a baby or a small child, so the mother inside can finish off her prayers in peace, knowing her child is safe
- Once a teenage boy offered Damian to join his friends for iftar (since he’s seen the kid around the mosque before). Damian was a bit hesitant at first but then agreed. Since then he has made 4 new friends.   (NOTE: Iftar is the time in which Muslims break their fast, usually around sunset)
- Damian once invited his new friends and their families to Wayne Manor for Iftar. It was very hectic, but Bruce was glad to learn more about Damian’s culture and to see his son so at ease with others
- Damian had enrolled himself to sunday classes at the Mosque where they taught students Arabic. Although Damian is quite fluent, he felt like he was loosing his touch and wanted to be surrounded by others who spoke Arabic as well
- Even Tim noticed a slight attitude change in Damian. He wasn’t as vicious or stubborn as he usually was. He would be more patient and more willing to listen or explain his side of things
- Damian also weirdly became friends with Simon Baz (as much as Bruce hates Green Lanterns, he could forgive the situation this time. But only this time!)
- Damian also starts patrolling during Suhoor time, ensuring everyone is safe, also getting some free food at the Mosques cuz why not. (NOTE: Suhoor is the time in which Muslims eat before they start fasting. Suhoor ends around the time when the sun rises, and fasting for the day begins)
- In fact, Damian always has food hidden in his robin uniform now. From all the free food Muslims give him during iftar. Whether its samosas or dates or sweets. (he has to hide his food from his brothers but somehow batman always steals a samosa from him)
- Damian also realizes Ramadan is a month of forgiveness, and decides to reconcile with his mother. They both have chai together and just speak about their day, all in Arabic.
- Damian also shows his brothers A LOT OF RAMADAN MEMES (just cuz we fasting, doesn’t mean we stop the memes). The only one who really gets the jokes is Jason, cuz he also spent his teenage years in Talia’s compound.
