Jon, Kon, Tim and Damian all chatting, and start musing on their various anxieties about going dark side and how they would stop each other.
Elle wanders in and only catches the last bit where Jon and Damian are referencing world domination and is just like:
Elle: Oh, are we going dark side? Who do you guys need me to fight? I can body just about anyone in the League but I'm pretty sure Batman had some tricks up his sleeve to deal with me so we'll have to account for that. I know you guys aren't gonna want to kill anyone in your families, but I'm pretty sure I could alter the nightmare dimension to be less, you know, nightmare-y while still keeping it inescapable so that's an option -
Jon: W h a t
Damian: We are not going "dark side" Nightingale...probably.
Jon: Definitely! Definitely no dark side!
Elle, relieved: Oh thank the Ancients, that was gonna be such a bummer
Tim: Jesus Christ you didn't even hesitate
Kon: You didn't even need any kind of justification. Did you just hear Jon say "take over the world" and that was all you needed???
Elle: I mean, yeah? I wouldn't be happy about it but I'm not just gonna let Jolly and Day go and take over the world without me.
Jon: I'm not sure if I should feel touched or worried...
Damian: Are you seriously saying your loyalty to us is greater than your duty to the world?
Elle: Day I would crack the universe in half and devour the souls everyone who ever so much mildly inconvenienced you two if you asked.
Tim & Kon: *fear.jpg*

The Amity Parkers, Part 2
So, let’s go over some recent events.
Several New Teachers have arrived at Gotham Academy, those teachers being Doctor Daniel “Danny” Fenton, Dash Baxter, Danielle “Dani” Masters, and the new therapist Paulina Sanchez. These teachers have done, many, things to the curriculum of the school, with some more notable changes being the following.
1: Creating and teaching the formula for toxins and gasses used by Gotham Rogues, naturally creating a new form of defense the students could safely practice.
2:Taught then everything they could possibly need to survive a natural or unnatural disaster, making a School Medic Team from a survivalist club they’d started some time at the end of the first semester of the year.
3: Ruined Lex Luther AND Superman at the same time for custody of Connor Kent Masters (Connor likes the Kents, despite his Originals treatment of him). And now he was a student at the school, catching up in leaps and bounds to his fellow students while also constantly hanging out with Tim during rest periods.
4: Shown the entire County that they were lucky they’re Inspiration for teaching and Fentons parents hadn’t been the ones to take the reigns, because they were worse by at least one league of magnitude.
5: Getting more classes added that were on paper optional but due to Gotham being, well, Gotham, most students took them, from the custom engineering class to basic understandings of magic, because apparently Gotham was littered with super haunted/magical points.
And finally
6: The creation of portals, though you have to pass several tests and qualify for a college degree in engineering at minimum with the approval of Doctor Fenton AND his parents before partaking in the class.

Okay you wanna know what bothers me about a ton of us in the DC fandom? Connor Kent. He was short shafted so hard so much that if his buddy and life/chaos mate Tim went supervillain he wouldn't even question why, just where to aim because Tim and young Justice? Saw for the most part and accepted first he was just a little kid in a grown up body. He wasn't a CLONE of Luthor and Kal-el. He was a Child made of them. That's what a kid is Ffs. A human(ish) made with the genetics of two others as their donors. Not a copy of one or the other but of both mashed together. And the name Kara gave him? What the Fuck my guys. She named him "Unwanted of the House of Hope" what the fuck? Just, the rich ruling class of your original home world had designer babies most of all and yet you're going to be racist on how a Baby was created? Clark you didn't even grow up there, and I bet you my raccoon bone collection that Kal-els dad did Not include the pop culture packet or what the street food on the lower levels tasted like or like Kryptonian pop music since he was ramming all this scientific bullcrap onto the ship. Like no. Connor was just a child with as much or most definitely More Trauma than Clark had at having a Son made out of extra space splooge/blood with your 'Nemisis'
Side note anyone else remember the one 80s ish superman comic where we find out Clark had a Pincer on the end of his alien Dick or "latching on"

Little super bat hc
Continuous of this post
Tumblr media
I'm still not a 100% sure on how the justice league found her. Maybe they did a dna scan or baby super bat escaped and created chaos because she's still a Lil baby and she can't control her powers? ( if you have any ideas please share them)
For the first few weeks she would probably stay in the hall of justice till the figure out what they would do with her.
I think Jon would actually kinda adore having a little sibling. Meanwhile with Damian I think it would take a while for him to warm up to a younger sibling. Being the only child of Bruce .
Imagine her and Connor bonding, they have a cute little bond about both being clones. He maybe a little protective of her too.
Even the batgirls adore the little superbat.
Barbara thinks she is just adorable and can't help but coddle the toddler a little bit,sure the kid has super dna in her but it's just the big eyes.
Stephanie also fell for the big eyes, she and Cass are both so curious about the traits the baby superbat had got from Batman and Superman.
She had in fact flight, she has to kept in the base because she randomly starts flying and giggling.
Tumblr media
Cue one of the sups flying and grabbing the kid.
Bruce who already has a lot of kids and offers to take her in, it wouldn't be strange for Bruce to adopt another kid.
Clark and the rest of the Kent family are more than welcome to visit.
Alfred welcomes the little superbat with open arms, another young Wayne to keep him young
Bruce waits till little superbat is used to a few weeks, before he introduces her to the public.
Of course the Lil superbat isn't used to all the attention and she clings onto Bruce.
Of course all the batfam was there to support her. And she loves all her siblings, because all of them have a cute little bonding activity.

Could you write batfam x male reader who is talia and Bruce’s child but grew up with the league and are dating Connor but just like they are drawn dark stuff (knife, sword,daggers, collection) but also just is like a magpie and will just collect shiny things and they met Connor by walking around with kryptonaite they stole from bat cave and they just cause chaos like saying a really dark fact then hand you a random rock or button
Hi! I didn't know if you meant Justice league or League of Assassins so I did Justice league.
Warnings: Daggers, swords, kryptonite(?), fluff, pinning, cuddling, mentions of revival, mentions of death and murder
Main Ship: Connor Kent x Male!reader
No YN used in this fic
THEN
You walked around with a small piece of kryptonite that you stole from your dad's stash he kept in the Batcave. Why did you take it? Because it was shiny. You were looking for any of your brothers, who was willing to help You cause chaos.
Along your little walk you saw Connor walking the same direction as you. You smirked and hid the piece of kryptonite behind your back. "Hey Connor. Where you heading to?" You 'innocently' asked "Training." He mummers, quickly grabbing your hand as you tried to slip the kryptonite in his pocket. "Stop." He said walking away. For the rest of the walk you followed him and kept doing the same thing until Bruce, or Batman stopped you.
"I told you to stop taking these." He said taking the shiny item away from you, slipping it in his own pocket as Clark gave him a wary look. "Your lucky I let you and Damian have swords or daggers". You fake pouted before walking away to find your younger brother.
"Their going to kill each other one day." Bruce sighed "You let them have daggers?" Clark asked "Damian has swords. He has daggers. I makes him feel safe." Bruce explained "Well now I don't feel safe." Clark said "I'm not giving you a dagger." Bruce said.
FEW WEEKS LATER....
Again, you were trying to get on Connors nerves.
You guys were in the hallway alone. "Connor! I'm bored!" You whined. "Not my problem." He said pushing you away. "Well, if you don't want me to get kryptonite and bother you...." You started. Before you knew it, Connor had pinned against the wall. You smirked and gave him a kiss. He blushed for a minute before kissing you back.
"Brat." He said "Love you too!" You said.
NOW
You and Connor were inside your room at the manor. He sat on your bed as you admired your dagger collection and your shiny promise bracelet from your boyfriend. With a dagger, some shiny coins, and maybe a small piece of kryptonite you went back over and sat with Connor.
"Take it out of your pocket." He mumbled holding you close. You sighed and took the kryptonite out of your pocket.
"Did you know Jason was revived by using Lazarus pit?"
"How do you know this?"
"My mother was there."
"You concern me."
You two ended up falling asleep with you holding you dagger and shiny coins close to you.
~~~
Dick opened you door "Hey! Bruce wants to see......" He cut himself off as he saw you two laying together. Dick smiled and closed the door. "What's wrong?" Tim asked as Dick came back downstairs "Our baby brother has a boyfriend!" He announced. Bruce and Damian who weren't paying attention looked up. "How do you know?" Jason asked "Their cuddling in his room.
"Who is it?" Jason asked "Connor!" Dick replied. Damian looked at his father "Do I have permission to kill my dear brother's boyfriend for that action?" He asked. Bruce nodded "Don't kill just hurt him."
~~
Thank you for the request! My ask box is opened if you have a request!

Found this old snippet and don't really remember of the context for it outside of being a joking exploration of how weird the Fenton/Phantom family tree would seem to outsiders (not even getting into how relationships might be classified differently between the human side & the ghost side)
Anyway gonna drop it here as a prompt lol
Mind the quick reference to dismemberment, there's no gore or detailed description and no one is actually hurt, it's more there for comedic effect, but still wanted to give the heads up on it 👍
---
Nomad motioned to the towering, vaguely vampire-looking buff dude with literal flaming hair what the fuck, “Dan, this is everyone. Everyone this is Dan. He’s my…” Nomad trailed off and blinked, a look of confused befuddlement on her face as she let the sentence hang for too long.
“Huh…” She said considering, looking up at vampire-dude, Dan apparently, with a confused furrow on her brow. “You know this is the first time I’ve ever had to try and explain our relationship to each other and I’m drawing a blank and what exactly to call you. Uncle? Dad? Brother? Like, I think you could technically be considered all three.”
What the fuck did that mean??? Kon snapped his attention over to meet Tim’s masked gaze, the look of wild confusion Kon was sure was on his own face mirrored there. Around the meeting room confused and worried looks were being shared by the rest of the League. Which like, yeah, what in the Habsburgs was happening here for all of those terms to be applicable?
“Well, you’re Danny’s Mirror, so if you consider him your dad then it stands to reason I’m also your father.” Dan said, hand coming up to his - literally flaming, how did that work? - goatee thoughtfully.
“Yeah but like, I call Danny dad just to piss Vlad off.” Nomad countered, toying with her severed arm with her still attached hand. Kon didn’t think he’d ever get over how casual she was about being literally disarmed and just…not caring. “And I definitely don’t see you as a dad. Uncle?”
The giant of a ghost shook his head with a frown, “Implies that Danny and I are brothers, which could work but gives our relationship kind of a weird vibe. I feel more like his father than anything.”
“Gramps, then?”
“No.”
Nomad laughed, “Fair, wouldn’t want to take the title of Grampa away from CW. Besides we’re both half Vlad, so I think brother works best here.” She frowned, looking thoughtful, “Maybe half brother?”
Dan considered, “Half-brother could work. Though it gives Vlad more credit than he deserves.”
“Oh come on, can you imagine the look on his face if we went in together on suing him for child support?” Nomad asked, fanged grin wicked. Dan’s face lit up at the idea, and Kon felt like they were rapidly heading towards the two ghosts running off to go and go torment whoever this Vlad guy was rather then them help deal with the current demonic problem at hand.
“Can you please explain what any of that means?” Kon asked, more a squeak than anything else. He was starting to get a headache.

Short DP X DC Prompts #88
Danny has been captured by the GIW for… Months? Years? A decade? He’s lost track such a long time ago that he can’t even tell. He kept fantasizing about his escape and his saviors who would free him from this hell. He thought he imagined every possible scenario under the sun… What he didn’t imagine was a boy in spandex, a leather jacket, and circular shades bickering with a very strange red-haired kid in white and red spandex zipping around and knocking GIW workers out as a black-haired kid wearing a domino mask and dressed as a traffic light typed into a wrist computer to hack open his cell door.

There’s just something so special to me about the emotional aspects of Timkon’s relationship.
Like- they are both eachother’s rock, but in different ways. Kon is one of the only consistencies in Tim’s life, is always there for him, is always a shoulder to cry and rest on. He knows how to soothe him when things get to be too much, knows how to bring him down from any emotional ledge.
And for Kon- Tim is his. His relationship with Tim is one of the few things about Kon’s life that he got to pick, one of the only things that he gets to know that no one else can touch, no one else can control. And Tim is always there to encourage and uplift him, to ease him through his own insecurities.
Like. My boys are both so emotionally damaged. But they both carry eachother through their worst times. And I adore that about them

Link to Ao3: A Robin's Song
Summary: Since diapers, Jon and Damian have been best friends. Accidentally encouraging jon to go ask out a girl, damian must now deal with the consequences of pushing his what he thinks are unrequited feelings down. He turns to music to vent, posting under an anonymous online username "Robin".
What he was not expecting, was for the music to blow up, leaving him internet famous, and his feelings out in the open.
and Jon is completely clueless.
A/N: THIS IS A REVERSE ROBINS AU AGES R: Damian is 17 Duke is 16 Tim is 14 Steph is 13 ½ Cass is 12 Jason 10 ¾ Dick is 5 Jon is 18 Kon is 14 Bart is 13 Wally(will be mentioned eventually) is 5 Roy(also will b mentioned eventually) is 11
Based on this post by @jaybirbie
December 3, five weeks before.
“Can’t believe you, Mr. Jonathan-its-under-fifty-degrees-please-wear-a-jacket, didn’t wear the biggest coat you could find today.” Jon snorted, rifling through his closet.
Damian’s bronze skin was dusted with a pretty pink as he scowled, a knitted green sweater and black skinny jeans his only defense against the cold.
“It’s a weekend, Jon, I had no intention to go out, and I let Duke take the big jacket because he was going out with friends.” 
Jon hummed sympathetically before pulling out the next sweater he had, his letterman.
“Try this on, Dames.” 
“I don’t think it’ll be that warm.” Damian eyed it skeptically. Jon gave him a look, and he scoffed, shrugging it on anyway. 
“Looks better on you than me.” Jon cackled, snapping a quick picture.
The sleeves went past his hands, the jacket going down to his mid-thigh. Damian was drowning in a sea of warm fabric, and for a moment he was lost, inhaling deeply and smelling the fabric softener Jon’s mom used, a hint of the cologne he stole from his father, and a smell that was utterly Jon. Just Jon. His best friend, and definitely nothing more. Never…anything more.
“Dami?” Jon croaked nervously, silence taking over the room.
Damian snapped out of his little dream world and flushed red, scrambling to take it off and hand it back. “Way too big.” 
“Is it normal for you to smell clothing?”  Jon raised an eyebrow, was that a small, miniscule burst of pink on his cheeks?
No, stop messing with your own emotions, Damian.
Damian turned his nose up and scowled. “Yes, when was the last time you washed that thing?”
“Hey! It’s clean, thank you!” Jon shot back indignantly, but not before sniffing it quickly, just to make sure.
His friend snorted, before putting on the light jacket he’d brought over his knitted sweater. 
“We can just stay home and watch tv or something,” he offered. 
“Should I put on Glee?” 
“I’ll grab some cocoa.”
Five weeks after.
“What a sight for sore eyes.” Jon sighed, slumping against his locker. Damian looked up, shutting his as he grabbed his books. 
“Your locker?”
Jon let out a breathy chuckle. “No. Her .” 
He followed his gaze to a girl walking down the hall, laughing with a group of girls. Some wore a cheerleading outfit, but she wore a skirt with leggings, white shirt, and a low cardigan. Her skirt and sweater were varying shades of blue, and when she opened her eyes, one could see her eyes were as well. 
Thick pieces of brown hair fell to her hips, two long layers framing her face, slightly shorter bangs parted in the middle of her forehead.
And with one glance, he could already tell. Jon was utterly enamored with her.
“What’s her name?” Damian asked quietly.
“Haisley. She’s one of the cheerleaders, and god, her voice when she sings. Angels, Damian, I swear to you she’s what angels sound like.”
Every word out of Jon’s mouth was ripping him to shreds and he fought the sudden urge to scream. Instead he swallowed hard, spitting out words like they had done him personal harm.
“You should go talk to her.” 
Stop, Damian, don't do this to yourself.
“I’m sure you’ll get on very well, she looks sweet.”
Jon went pale. “Oh, God, she’s coming this way! Damian, what if I screw up?”
“Jon, it's a simple greeting. Say hi, I’m Jon, I’ve seen you around, then blah blah, say something charming. You’re good at that.”
He said it so dismissively, it nearly convinced himself that he didn't actually care. His taller friend inhaled sharply before meeting her halfway. Before he made it to her, she was tripped by something, and dropped her books. Being the good boy he was raised to be, he rushed over to help. 
Damian winced as Jon said something to make her laugh, his pale complexion flushing crimson at the sound.
Fighting off the stupid emotions, he kept his head down and sped out of the hallway. 
What had he done?
Present day.
Third wheel again. 
It was lunch, and instead of the usual eating under the big oak in the courtyard of their high school, Damian was stuck between Haisley and Jon, trying not to scowl as they chattered and flirted. 
It was disgusting, frankly, and never failed to make his appetite disappear. 
He had long since stopped trying to join their conversations, always drowned out by the “we’re-not-together-yet-Dames” couple.
“I’m just going to throw my tray away.” He called loudly over their talking, the only acknowledgement that he received was a thumbs up from Jon and a sweet smile thrown his way by Haisley.
Never one to waste food, he tucked the remaining packaged snacks and apple in his backpack before returning.
Before he made it to the table, he saw Jon draping his letterman over Haisley. The same one he’d been given on that cold day. Bile rose in his throat as he saw her lean her head tentatively on his shoulder, watching as Jon grew flustered, and just as hesitantly, wrapped an arm around her.
Damian suddenly felt as if he’d stumbled across something private, and hastily turned and walked away.
The walk turned into a run, and suddenly he was in the library, holed up in a corner as he cursed the sniffles he got.
This is hardly something to cry over , he scolded himself. I knew it was never going to happen.
He stayed in the little corner until the bell had rung, sketches of characters that didn't exist pouring over his sketchbook.
*****************
Walking home had always been something held to high regard for Damian these last few weeks since Haisley arrived. The only time he could have Jon to himself like he used to. These moments were treasured now, more than ever.
“Where’d you go at lunch, Dami?” Jon asked, strolling along the sidewalk.
“The library. There was a book I wanted to check out.” He said smoothly.
“Where is it then?”
“Oh, they didn't have it, so I had to put it on hold. I must have gotten distracted looking at the other ones.”
Yes, he had precrafted a story or five to tell.
“Did I miss anything important?”
“No, not really.” Jon let out a whoosh of air. “Just that I may actually be falling in love with Haisley.”
Hurt struck him like glass daggers to his heart, but years over playing games with his brothers had ensured he had an absolutely stellar poker face.
His mask of indifference washed over him as he responded with a tremor to his tone.
“Is that so? What makes you think that?”
“Gosh, she’s so pretty, for one.”
Damian’s stomach twisted, and he spoke. “So, is it just physical? That’s not love, Jon, that’s a crush.” 
“Wha-? No, I'm not done. She’s sweet, kind, and funny. She can actually have a snarky side if you hang around her enough. She has a good heart, and I know my parents would approve. Besides, do I gotta mention all the other stuff? The way her eyes get all squinty when she laughs,  her smile, all the blue. I look good in blue, don’t I? We could match~”
Jon continued gushing and at the corner, Damian clapped him on the shoulder and declared with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes that he was happy for him.
“You sure, D? You don’t look too excited.” Jon seemed worried.
“Course, J, I only want you to be happy. If you're happy, I'm happy. Just…this won’t come between us, right?”
He would die before he let their friendship burn, even if that meant he had to keep his distance.
“Never. You're my best friend, Damian. We’ll always be like this won’t we? Forever?”
“Yeah. Forever.” Damian swallowed the lump that formed in his throat and breathed a sigh of relief as he hit the row of small houses. 
“My stop. See you tomorrow.”
Before he could hear the response, he scurried away and across the street to the little tired house on the corner.
He unlocked the door and shut it behind him, slumping against it. The inside of the house was warm and cozy, the smell of cooking food making it homey.
When he opened his eyes, he could see his oldest younger brother, Duke, in the kitchen, the old yellow apron they had tied around his waist.
“You okay, Dames?” Duke set the pan down and lowered the fire, moving to help him up.
“Peachy.” He responded, letting himself be pulled upwards.
He hung up his coat and backpack and tried a smile, which Duke returned sympathetically.
Marching into his room, he starfished across his small bed and screeched into the pillow.
“✨Anger issues✨” Was hummed from above him.
Grumbling, Damian launched his pillow towards the person, his mood lifted slightly as he heard an “oof-” as the pillow hit his target.
“My dear menace to society.” Damian grinned as the pillow was thrown back and a black haired head popped up from the top bunk of the bunkbeds next to him.
“How was imprisonment for you today?” 
“Fine, fine, I won't bore you with details .” The teen waved his hand dismissively, before raising an eyebrow.
“How was your day, is the question we should all be asking if you came in here and tried to summon a demon with those screams.”
“And summon a demon, I did.” Damian gestured upwards to his little brother. 
“Asshole.” 
“Swear Jar.”
A quarter was thrown at his face.
“I’m serious, I'm fairly certain you and Duke are the ones who pay like half the bills from just the jar.”
“Shut up.” Tim stuck his tongue out, Damian returning the gesture. 
“Kon told me Jon got a girlfriend.” His tone softened. “Are you okay?” 
The crush was well known between the three oldest brothers and Cass, and it was often used as a teasing device, if not them actually trying to convince Damian to say something. 
“Fine. And they’re not together yet, tell Connor to get his facts right.” he waved off his brother’s concerns.
Tim looked at him, seeing directly past the lie, however, knowing better, he kept his mouth shut.
“You should write,” He said instead. ”Healthy venting.”
“You’re one to talk.”
Nonetheless, Damian followed his advice and took out a writing pad, proceeding to stare at the blank page for the next half hour until his youngest siblings and father arrived home, much like the author of this fic.
************
After dinner, everyone lounged around the living room, chattering and doing activities with each other.
Dick bounced onto the couch next to Damian and turned on the biggest puppy eyes he could muster. 
“Dami?”
“Dickiebird?”
“Will you play for us?”
Damian inhaled sharply. It had been awhile since he’d touched his guitar, but it still remained one of his younger brothers favorite pastimes.
“I’m a little rusty, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try.”
He went and grabbed it, repositioning himself back on the couch. His siblings paused in their activities to watch.
Hesitantly he tunes and strums, before playing around with some notes. Finding he quite liked the pattern, he continued with the slow melody, switching it up and returning it.
“I’ve never heard this song before.” Steph turned her head to the side, pausing in painting Cass’s nails. 
Jason bookmarked the page in his book and tore a page from one of Damian’s sketchbooks, coming to sit in front of Damian. 
“Can you play that again? It was really pretty.” 
He repeated it, again and again until the tune swirled around the house, bringing everyone into the song.
The kids had made a small circle around the couch, Bruce putting down his newspaper in favor of listening to his eldest.
There was nothing in his heart that spoke of pain and longing, all poured into the melancholy melody surrounding them.
When he came back to the present, the paper Jason had torn was covered in little scribbles. 
Music notes.
“Timmy helped, but these were the ones that we got, so that you can play that again sometime.”
“Please play it again!” Dick chirped.
“ Very beautiful.” Cass agreed out loud, trying to sign, but stopped by the wet paint on her nails.
“You should write lyrics!” Duke suggested. “I can help!” 
The rest of the evening was spent curled in the living room, Damian writing furiously and Duke helping him make things flow, Tim leaning over occasionally and remarking how similar they sounded to Damian's own predicament.
Damian was subjected to yet another day watching “Jaisley” as Tim and his group of friends, Duke, and if he was honest, he called it that as well, pine after each other.
If he had to hear the words “She’s an angel, D.” in a lovestruck tone one more time, his father would have to pick him up at the local police station for arson and vandalism.
Luckily, his savior came in the form of one Duke Wayne, who magically showed up almost every time Damian was on the brink. Today was his full school day, so he walked with Jon and Damian back home, wincing everytime Jon opened his mouth to gush about Haisley.
“Well, fuck.” Duke muttered as they walked into the house, dropping a quarter into the large jar as they did. 
“It’s bad.” Damian sighed. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I can sweep this under the rug, it’ll be fine.”
“Dames-” his brother started, before Tim came barreling through the door.
“Bye guys!” He screamed from the porch, two boys and a girl waving back at him.
Shutting the door, he turned to his older brothers. “We gonna record?”
Damian crossed his arms, staring up at his taller (only by a few inches!) little brother. 
“Wonderful idea, Timothy.”
He stalked towards the room, overhearing Tim whisper to Duke. “ He called me Timothy, was it really that bad?”
“Worse, dude. Wayyyy worse.”
*******************
Damian was wearing an oversized black hoodie with yellow lining, a dark green domino mask from an old halloween costume, and had left his hair out in a way rendered mostly unrecognizable to most of his school peers. 
Tim screwed around with the beat-up old laptop they’d salvaged awhile back, and a suspiciously high-quality recording mic. 
He would ask where it came from later.
The three brothers threw out some song requests for Damian to warm up, and then began recording. 
After the third take, they stopped.
“Dami, you sound monotone. Like you’re rehearsing a line and we have you at gunpoint behind the camera.”
“Sorry.” Damian flushed. 
Duke spoke up. “This is your song, your story. Try singing it how you feel, like you’re watching them and monologuing internally.”
He chewed his bottom lip, nodding. “Can we try again?”
Tim smiled, counting down. 
This time, he shut his eyes, letting the soft strumming of the guitar take him back to the moment when he felt his heart break for the first time. 
He floated away into the memories of them on the cold December day, to when they saw Haisley for the first time, to just recently listening to the voice he loved to hear pine for someone else. 
The tune flowed around him, lifting him up into the song until he was nearly sobbing with the pain of reliving those painful moments, pouring all he had into the few minutes. 
When he hit the final notes, he let the tears building up catch in the mask, a few stubborn ones slipping past the white out eyes and being hastily scrubbed away as Tim stopped recording. 
The silence was loud, and nervously, Damian spoke up. “Should we retake?”
“That was perfect, Damian.” 
“God, I could have cried. That is how this song was meant to be sung, and I'll be damned if this doesn't blow up by next week.”
“SWEAR JAR!” Tim and Damian chorused. 
“I’m giving compliments.” Duke grumbled. 
Tim stuck his tongue out and Damian skimmed the top of his guitar with his fingers gently. 
“I…I don't think I want it to blow up too much. These are my feelings, and to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if they find out it's me just by the words.”
“I guess.” Tim shrugged, going over the footage in his computer, and tweaking with the picture and turning the sound up over the videos, adding subtitles with the lyrics.
“Your old profile pic is that symbol you drew a few years ago. Do you wanna keep it?”
It was a bubble letter R in dark colors of green and red, a hint of yellow making it pop. Damian studied it before nodding. 
“Yes. I'd like to keep it.”
**************
They had played the song after dinner, the family applauding at the end. Tim posted it online with everyone onlooking, and although Damian claimed he didn’t care much about any of it, he sent the link to Kon, and asked him to pass it along to his older brother.
And if he hacked into a few accounts to put the link in their recommendations, who would know but him? 
…And the FBI agent that Bernard from across the street told him was watching the computer, despite using a VPN.
It was for a good cause anyways.

Dragon Landing pt 2
Kon watched in fear as the dragon touched down in the wide plaza, Lex smiling smugly as the great beast landed.
“Great Dragon, welcome to Metropolis.”
The dragon nodded slowly, swinging it’s head around to see the gathered crowd.
“If you are looking for your assistant, I regret to inform you that he has committed a most horrible sin against you, sir.”
The dragon tilted its head, and the crowd parted. Kon tried to dart forward to catch Danny as he was thrown to the ground, securely tied in ropes, but his guards grabbed his arms and held him tight.
“What has he done?”
The dragon’s first words rumbled across the plaza, and Kon shivered at the underlying anger to it’s voice.
Lex made a grand gesture.
“He dared to seduce your intended spouse, my nephew Kon-el. Do not worry, though, we caught them before anything untoward could happen.”
A strange chuffing noise came from the dragon, and it lowered it’s head to look at Danny, still lying on the ground.
“Do you know what you have done, son of Clockwork?”
Much to Kon’s horror, Danny grinned brightly.
“I understand what I’ve been accused of, sure.”
“You have betrayed me in this, Daniel Clockwork.”
“IT WASN’T HIS FAULT,” Kon yelled, struggling against the guards. “Please- punish me, if you must- Danny didn’t start anything!”
The dragon side eyed Kon, and then turned it’s attention back to Danny.
“Rise, Daniel, and accept your punishment.”
“Oh? I thought you liked the sight of me tied up.”
To the shock of the entire plaza, Danny rose to his feet, slipping through the ropes like they were air. He stood in front of the dragon’s great head, smiling serenely.
The dragon brought it’s nose down close to Danny, and a wisp of flame spouted from it’s nostrils.
Kon screamed as the flame wrapped around the man he’d fallen in love with- he could never care for the dragon after this, even if he had to marry the great beast.
And then the flames subsided, and there Danny was, still standing. He was different, though- the purple bruise on his cheek from Lex’s guards was gone, and he wasn’t hunched over his right side, favoring a broken rib.
When he’d arrived in Metropolis Keep, and every day since, his garb had been nice but unremarkable. Now, having been consumed by flames, his clothing was of the finest silks, with delicate embroidery and gems creating the night sky on his dark robes.
Most shocking at all was the pointed ears of a faerie and his hair- an ethereal shock of white were before it had been blacker than shadow.
“It has been too long, my loyal servant” the dragon rumbled.
“A month without you is akin to a year without stars, my lord.”
Kon took advantage of the guards shock to rush forward, pushing past his uncle to reach Danny. Danny, who turned to him with a brilliant grin.
“Prince Kon-el! Meet my lord, the dragon.”
Remembering some decorum in the face of his worry, Kon bowed to the dragon, who regarded him with one great yellow eye.
“A pleasure to meet you, Lord Dragon.”
The dragon chuffed again, turning back to Danny.
“He is pretty, I’ll give you that. Will you stand with us, Prince Kon-el?”
Kon looked to Danny, who was nodding furiously at him.
“If that is your wish?”
“I care more for your wishes, but I will accept that answer.”
The dragon’s tail looped around them both, and Kon watched as Danny gave it a pat.
“King Luthor.” There was danger in the dragon’s voice. “You made a deal with me- a spouse in exchange for power.”
“Yes, Lord Dragon, if you-“
“I did not give you permission to speak.”
A sick sort of glee filled Kon as Lex shut up with a snap.
“I would have complied with your request, had I not spent the last month learning of your misdeeds. I might have even been lenient, more than just allowing you your life, but it seems you missed a very important fact about dragons.”
The tail surrounding Kon and Danny tightened possessively.
“Dragons are known to have multiple spouses- hoarding them more fiercely than gold and treating them better than the finest of gems. Until today I was possessed of only a single spouse, and you- usurper, kidnapper, false king- you allowed him to come to harm.”
Kon looked sharply over at Danny, but the faerie was smiling vindictively, stroking the dragon’s scales with delicate fingers that were dripping with silver and diamond jewelry.
“Did you know,” the dragon continued, “that the man whose throne you took- who was left for dead by your traitorous followers- recovered well? King Kent is returning to Metropolis to take back his throne, along with his wife and son.”
Something roiled in Kon’s stomach- the knowledge that his father had another son with a legal wife- as opposed to himself, a child born out of wedlock to Lex’s sister through coercion- made him feel ill.
“He has agreed that Kon-el may come with me until Metropolis is safe. After that, it is up to the prince as to where he will go.”
The dragon reached out one massive claw, touching Lex on the chest.
“I curse you, Luthor- I curse you for laying a hand on my beloved, for usurping a throne that is not rightfully yours. I curse you for casting out a friend of my father and leaving him for dead. I curse you for stealing a child from his father and depriving him of that relationship, and I curse you for attempting to use that child as a bargaining chip for power. Lex Luthor, you will never hold a position of power again. Only the dogs will believe the words you speak from here on out. So mote it be.”
Kon watched as Lex started to protest, but all that came out was the howling of a street dog.
The surrounding crowd began to snicker, and then to laugh.
They stopped as the dragon continued speaking, this time to the guards who had thrown Danny to the ground.
“Personally, I do not think those who laid hands on my husband should be allowed to live, and yet I am well aware what he thinks of wanton bloodshed. His people, however, may not be so kind. I would suggest stocking up on cold iron.”
Danny tugged at Kon’s hand, and he let himself be pulled up and onto the dragon’s tail, and then up further still to rest on the beasts broad back. Part of him thought that he ought to have struggled to climb up, but the rest of him was dealing with relief from the stress of the past day.
The man he loved was safe and sound, his father was well and returning, and Lex could no longer bring the kingdom to evil.
The dragon spread his wings, and with two hefty flaps, they were off the ground and in the air.
Kon scrabbled to grab a hold of something with the hand not held securely in Danny’s but there was no purchase on the smooth scales underneath him.
“Peace, Kon-el,” the dragon rumbled beneath them. “I will not let you fall.”
A tugging on his hand again prompted Kon to turn to Danny, who was smiling at him gently.
“Do you want to continue what we started?”
There was a twinkle in his eye, and Kon flushed hot, remembering their almost-kiss while they practiced dancing.
“H-here?”
Danny shrugged playfully.
“Why not? My lord doesn’t mind.”
“I- no, I don’t think I am comfortable with that.”
With a nod, Danny brought Kon’s hand up to his lips, brushing across the back feather light.
“Your comfort is my utmost priority, my prince.”
The dragon rumbled underneath them, and Kon almost thought it was agreement.
