can I get a damian priest x reader story Where the reader gets injured from Rhea and Damian is handcuffed to the ring rope so he cant save the reader

Brutality || Damian Priest x Reader

Summary: You get injured in your mixed tag match and Damian is cuffed to the ropes, rendered helpless.

A/N: This is set before The Judgement Day was even a thing.

The chaos of the match surrounds you as your heart races in sync with the crowd's cheers and roars. The adrenaline courses through your veins as you exchange fierce moves with Rhea Ripley, the tension palpable in the air. The clash of bodies and the echo of the crowd's excitement create a surreal atmosphere, a battlefield where you fight for victory.

But then, a sudden, brutal impact to the back of your head sends shockwaves through your body. The world tilts on its axis, and for a brief moment, everything goes dark. The pain radiates, and you feel yourself being engulfed by the abyss.

Through the haze, you hear the crowd's reaction shift from exhilaration to shock. The realization that you've been blindsided by a steel chair shot dawns upon you. The sharp pang in your head is a testament to the force of Rhea's attack, leaving you momentarily disoriented and weakened.

Your vision begins to clear just as you see Damian, your partner, struggling against the restraints of the handcuffs that Edge has used to confine him to the ropes. Helpless, he watches as Rhea continues her assault on you, his frustration and desperation evident in his eyes.

The sound of the bell and the announcement of Rhea and Edge as the victors is a bitter pill to swallow, but the match is over. The cuffs are removed, and Damian rushes to your side, his concern etched across his features. His touch is gentle but urgent as he checks on your injuries, his voice a soothing anchor amidst the chaos.

"Hey, are you okay?" His voice is laced with worry, and you can feel the tension in his hands as they cradle your face.

You manage a weak nod, mustering a small, pained smile for him. His gaze never wavers from you, his focus unwavering even as the world continues to spin around you.

Without a word, Damian gathers you into his arms, lifting you with a careful strength that reassures you. As he carries you out of the ring, the roar of the crowd fades into the background, and all that matters is the steady beat of his heart against your cheek.

His strides are purposeful, his protective presence a shield against the world's chaos. You cling to him, your injuries a testament to the intensity of the match, but also a testament to your determination and strength.

The journey to the backstage area feels like a blur, and before you know it, you're settled on a medical table, Damian by your side. His hand remains entwined with yours, his thumb brushing soothing circles against your skin.

"I've got you," he murmurs, his voice a soothing balm. "You're safe now."

As the medical staff tends to your injuries, Damian's unwavering gaze never leaves you. And in that moment, amidst the pain and the chaos, you know that you have something more powerful than any championship title—a partner who will always be there, ready to protect you, to carry you through both the battles in and out of the ring.

Meta Prostitute Au? Oh~?

Imagine this, Bruce and Dick break up a Meta slavery ring. Save the day! But realize? Oh shit! One of these guys is ABSURDLY High Risk for re-capture, because of his power. What is it?

"Fantasy Shape". He "goes to sleep", his power reads your mind, and shape-shifts him into whoever you find most attractive. Plays out sexy scenarios until it can sense you are satisfied.

People would BURN COUNTRIES to get their hands on this kid.

Bruce looks at Dick. Who looks at Bruce. And? Agreed. Kid was never here, they are taking him and putting him up in a nice apartment somewhere. The kid is like "cool. Free house. No wrinkly creeps."

Time passes.

Kid is now a twenty something. Dick is Nightwing. Jason back alive but estranged as hell. Damian barely settling in.

Kid would like That Gucci Shit. Has a VERY profitable ability. Time to become a sugar baby! Batman says "are you TRYING to get murder kidnapped?"

Now Twink counters with "then pay me" and transforms. Is, by the very nature of his powers, COMPLETELY unaware of WHO he turns into. He's not gonna remember ANYTHING. Just wake up, probably sore, and hopefully about to get paid.

Which is why he's completely unaware~

That he turns into Tim Drake with a puss.

Perhaps even early in his Robin career. Maybe in the Sexy Costume version. Maybe both. Maybe he looks like the Robin Bruce JUST saw, but with a pretty pink slit a handful little tits. Blinking up at him with those big, trusting, needy eyes. Oh he feels so STRANGE, Bruce~ won't you help him?

It's like a gut punch.

He can't. He... he doesn't. W-Would NEVER...!

But there it is. Proof of what he wants. Teary eyed and needy. Begging him to come closer. To "help" him.

Bruce knows for a fact Tim is cis-gendered. Has... has, perhaps, had thoughts he shouldn't. Lingered on reports and video feed of those rare few incidents, when for whatever reason, Tim was made... softer.

He shouldn't.

But... some desperately justifying part of his brain hisses, if he DOESNT? The Twink will try and find someone else to pay him. Get in over his head and probably die. We're basicly saving his life!

His resolve crumbles.

And somehow? He even SMELLS like Tim. The fantasy flawless. Teasing pretty little tits. Being so gentle, at first, with that virgin little hole. Hearing his Robin whimper and cry out in pleasure as he fucks him. Teases his little pink clit and stuffs him deep and full. Dragging him up and down like a toy to be filled with seed.

Everything he denied himself.

He doesn't have too anymore, does he?

Twink gets his Prada and Bruce gets an outlet. Which makes Duck suspicious. Because Bruce is NEVER this calm and reasonable. They fight about it on the roof. Bruce desperately glad Dick didn't actually SEE, what Twink turned into. But ultimately? Dick has to agree. Better this then unnecessary risks.

He talks to Twink.

Who would pass up Nightwing? Even if you couldn't remember it?

Nightwing will never admit to ANYONE what happens. Tim with a puss. His perfect "girl", huh? Arms held out to him, loving smile in place. Waiting for a kiss. Dick is going to hell. He cant bring himself to care.

It's so good he could cry.

But two for two acting fishy? Jason snoops. Working boy, huh? Tries to interview him. Twink panics at the sight of a Crime Lord. Tim + Puss+ Jason's shirt + He forgives you. Come get some.

....OH. So THATS why they come here.

Jason... should... should say no... he thinks, even as he's getting naked. He gets sounds out of Not-Tim that put porn to shame. Were the puss not temporary and shape-shifting, Twink would ABSOLUTELY be pregnant. He gets breakfast.

And frankly, Twink has the morality of a prison shank. When Damian tracks him down? Well? Pay him and he'll show you, bat-brat. WHY Batman visits this "den of iniquity". Seething, Damian does.

Turns out he? Really, REALLY wants Sexy CEO Tim with a Puss to admit he's a better Robin but then pin him to the floor and ride him. Call him pet names. Just milk him DRY with his sexy, sexy, CEO femdom puss.

Damian stumbles home vaguely shell-shocked and Reflecting On Some Stuff that he learned today.

And Tim? Has been having the time of his life, getting off it, since day one. Because he was stalking Batman. As usual. It's his go-to comfort activity. And he is starting to seriously consider getting a magic user to give him some sort of gender swap medallion or something. You know... for Vauge Bat Reasons.

Oh look! Nearly time for Bruce's weekly "extra patrol route". Better get the lube and get comfy~ Tim's got a show to enjoy.

-🐼🐼🐼

good for tim 😍😍😍!!!

Y’know what pains me, on a physical level, Batfam edition? What I would fist fight DC for? And most likely win out of sheer spite? Abusive Bruce, Villainified Jason, and Snow White Damian. Because, please, PLEASE, DC, LISTEN TO US: THATS NOT WHAT WE WANT. PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU- Bruce may be canonically abusive in many comics, and when I type it out like this it feels so silly because he’s literally just not the best parent at all half the time and sometimes it’s really hard to wake up from my Wayne Family Adventures fantasy and smell the sewer waste, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF WE’RE NOT IMPROVING HIS PARENTING OR HIS RELATIONSHIPS WITH HIS LITTLE MURDERCHILDREN THEN PLEASE HAVE HIM STOP HITTING THEM

And Jason, PLEASE. PLEASE. HE HAS SO MUCH CHARACTER POTENTIAL. STEP AWAY FROM THE HYPOCRITE JASON AND THE JASON TODD BABYGIRLIFICATION, AND JUST. APPRECIATE WHAT THE BARE BONES OF HIS CHARACTER IS. There is literally so much to explore with him. He is a fascinating character and WE CAN HAVE A WELL THOUGHT OUT JASON TODD GUYS, HE DOESN’T NEED TO BE, I don’t even know how to describe it. Just. Please. PLEASE. DC, he doesn’t need to be angry at everything all the time 😭😭 And then there’s the way we keep on switching up who he “really is”, he’s magic and then he’s good and then he’s the villain and PLS WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING

And Damian, my little demon gremlin. He’s great. Love him. But like, why is DC sometimes so insistent to make him pale 😭 Like can we just have some meeting where everyone sits down and goes “Damian’s not going to be stark white anymore guys” and then DC writers just… agree? BECAUSE THATS WHAT THE FANDOM DID??? Like the polite little voice in the back of my mind is like “Oh we shouldn’t force representation or anything haha, DC doesn’t have to do anything”, but like, I genuinely just don’t get what’s wrong with asking Damian’s heritage and backstory to be connected to him instead of a silly little thing that writers thought would be cool 😭 it’s not like I 100% refuse to read any comics with pale Damian in it, but not pale Damian would just be so awesome DC HEAR ME OUT PLS- ALSO ITS GETTING HARDER TO DISTINGUISH THE ROBINS, PLS GUYS I CANT RELY ON HAIRCUTS ALL THE TIME

#Praying this reaches the right side of Tumblr #batfamily #batman #bruce wayne #jason todd #damian wayne #dc robin #DC HIRE ME #This post is me using the 😭 emoji too much

Sometimes i just listen to a song and get such vibes for some of my favourite fictional people/OTP/fam relationships

For example

Devil- the wondering hearts

Its a loki/thor vibe so so much romantic or platonic it doesn't matter its them. Need proof ....

"You can call me the devil in disguise

I don't care, call me anything you like

I can see my redemption in your eyes

From my fool's paradise

Don't forgive me when I fail

'Cause everything I touch just turns to pain

I don't struggle either way

Suppose some things never change"

So much loki vibes! First of all "devil in disguise" obvious

"My fools paradise" always sacrifcing for thors benefit

"Everything i touch just turns to pain" give that boy a hug!!!!!

Army- lady antebellum

Its wonder woman/batman/the whole JL vibes

"On the front line she's a statue, a safe place to run to

The strength I need to get through every day

So if anybody thinks I'm a hero

When they watch me walk right into the flames

I'm just marching to the sound of her heartbeat

Yeah, I'm a solider but if I'm a solider

She's an army"

Like come on you cant tell me im wrong! I dont even need to explain this one.

Karma- taylor swift

Like need i even explain that this is Batfam

"Karma is a cat, purring in my lap" Damian

"Floating like a god damn acrobat, me and karma vibe like that" Dick

"Karma is a god" Bruce (while thinking about clark) (fight me)

"Karma is my boyfriend" Tim (while thinking about Kon)

"Karma is the breeze in my hair" Jason on his motorcycle riding around gotham

Karma is a bounty hunter, gona track you down" Dick again(this time thinking about his assasin husband slade)

So what im saying is...... do you have any songs that are obviously about certain characters

#dc comics #wonder woman #batfam #batman #justice league #loki #thorki #music #vibes #taylor swift #thor #dick grayson #bruce wayne #jason todd #damian wayne #tim drake

Fluff Alphabet with Damian Wayne

ISTG I PUT THIS IN A WHEEL AND IT GOT HIM OK

so yall can request any characters in my masterlist if you want me to write 3-4 letters for em

THIS IS A NWLNW BLOG!! WOMEN DNI!!

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

I feel like it varies depending on his overall mood. One day could just be you 2 watching a movie together, the next being a giant nerf war in the manor, then it yall just be taking a nice walk.

All depends on the vibe of the day

B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

Physically? I think he’d adore your face. He’s unsure as to why but he just loves staring at it. The faces you make to certain things, the freckles, dimples and all that? He loves it.

Damian also adores your passion for your interests and how happy they make you.

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

In my opinion I think he lacks empathy. But he’ll try his best to comfort you when you’re upset, providing emotional and physical support. Want to be left alone while youre sad? Ofc! He’ll be there if you ever need him tho

D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Damian doesn’t have a solid idea of his future. Living in a simple house and a simple life sounds nice. But since he’s the son of batman and was (is?) the heir of the League of Assassins you dont get a normal life.

So his current dream is atleast a family of sorts. Many pets. Maybe a child if you want one.

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

Damian is rather stubborn. He’ll end up being the more dominant one in the relationship I suppose.

F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

He forgives rather easily if given a nice apology. Or even an “Im sorry”. As long as you show change he can never stay mad you

G ratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

Very grateful. Youre the only bit of normalcy in his life and he loves that.

H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

Very upfront when he trusts you. Once you know about the LoA and that he’s Robin theres truly nothing much for him to hide.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

You changed his overall attitude i guess. He’s alot more smiley now. Are the batbros a tiny bit scared? Yes

J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

He’s a jealous fella at times. Once he saw someone give you a gift and his first thought is “That should be me who gives them something like that…” He ends up trying to top whoever he’s jealous of.

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Hah no hes not. He doesnt enjoy long kisses. Small ones are more for him.

The first kiss was rather awkward where you 2 hit each others noses on accident. It was a small kiss but it was something.

L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

He reads cheesy romance novels and thinks of something really nice. Starting with a simple “Would you like to accompany me on a… date..?”

It was rather cute.

M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

Yes. He has a very nice plan in his brain for everything. He would propose a while after highschool, probably during an anniversary, in the moonlight.

Something cheesy like that

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

He calls you basic things mainly Dear/dearest, my love, and other cheesy things like that.

O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

Hes stunned. Him? Damian Wayne al Ghul? Has a crush? It cant be! Hes in denial for the longest and he admires you from afar. Its not obvious at all. Infact you think he might hate you at first.

P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

No he isn’t. He’d rather keep things between you 2. Why would everyone need to know you 2 are dating??

The most pda is hand holding, cheek kisses and the like.

Q uirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

Congrats! You get to learn how to use a sword and probably various other weapons/self defense!! He cant have you gettin hurt or anythin like that can he?

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

He’s a very romantic person. Mainly cliche things tho since he reads them off romance novels.

Do the other batbros tend to make fun of him? Yes.

S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Your number 1 supporter!! Hes there to help you every step of the way and cheer you on!

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

He likes to keep a routine. As routine as possible for being Robin atleast.

U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

They know you very well. He lacks empathy so he tends to pick up your patterns to help you through any tough times or just do something nice.

V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

This is probably his first relationship. You mean EVERYTHING to him. He would go through the lazarus pit if needed.

W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

He cant bake or cook but you 2 try it sometimes. It ends up with it either burnt, not fully cooked or just a mess. Its a fun date

X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

Not the best at showing affection. He’d rather be in your presence more than anything. Ofc if you want to cuddle he isn’t opposed to that.

Y earning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

He probably has some of your clothes in his room. He misses you? Oop hes wearing your sweatshirt you left over.

Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

Like I said. Lazarus Pit shit baby. Would kill if it meant protectin you

I just finished the crossover. Spoilers. This is a half baked rant filled review from both a RWBY critic and a life long DC fan.

This animation was wonky even for rwby, there wasnt any fights choreography that stuck out to me and I just finished watching this like an hour ago. Like it was so boring my mind was just not intaking anything that could stand out. Even V5 and V9 had some good fights, and both of those volumes got huge budgets cuts because of some other project being released at the time (genlock and this crossover)

The dialogue was just such a mess. And the voice acting oy vey this was rough. Rwby usually has great VA work from the main's at RT, the funimation crew, and a boat load of others. This just felt so off, like the cast was just asleep. Did the voice director just give up like a minute in?

This story was such a mess too! I know combining 2 seperate universes is always tough I wont lie, but converting DC characters with too many varying powers, Supermans multiple powers, wonder womans godly gear, Batmans Bat-everything, Flash' speed force, Cyborgs various tech, Jess' rings many capabilities, and Vixen's animal powered necklace, its all too much to convert to 4 set abilities. Semblance, Dust, Faunus additions, and Rwbys "its also a gun" weaponry isn't enough to fit what I listed off above. Just send the rwby characters to the DC universe.

And side note, just use the teen titans. No power scaling argument needed, their strong but not stronger than the league and are still stronger than the RWBY verse. Imagine Ren and any Robin understanding one another about being orphans, or any Robin and Weiss getting some development about their rich dads. Blake and Damian can get along over their troubled past, or even Starfire and Blake since their the minorities (Tamaranian and faunus) of their teams, or Raven and Blake being goth baddies! Superboy and Yang, anger issues, Yang and Cyborg, learning to live with disabilities. Imagine the chaos of Nora and Wally west and Beastboy. Hell you could even substitute the Jessica plot with Raven struggling with her powers. Theres so much more potential here!

And jesus they did not handle the rwby characters any better. They were all so full of themselves and acting high and mighty comared to the experienced hero's. I'd argue that its cuz the league isnt all there and cant remember everything. But RWBYJNR dont remember anything either! Their all in the same boat so why are rwby treating like the league hasnt fought worse threats, as mentioned Brainiac(an alien with 12th level intellect) and Vandall Savage (an immortal from the caveman times) and while im at it why is a guy thats running a breaking and very obvious simulation a such a big deal anyway?

Shipping, oh damn right im going here. I dont wanna see it, No Superman x Ruby, no Batman x Weiss, no Wonder Woman x Blake x Yang, no Jessica x Jaune, no Cyborg x Nora x Ren. NO! NONONONO we arent doing this. Did we not learn how problematic Starco was? Did RT not learn from Ryan Haywood that grown adults and teenagers shouldn't go together? Seriously im starting to think RT has a problem, I know thats an understatement but at this point im calling it a prediction.

Alright time to speed run these individual character issues

•Batman's arc on staying on Remnant was dumb. Gotham is his soul purpose, and he doesn't need powers. He has never needed them, he's always been able to overcome and keep up with these gods with his wit, skill, and tech.

•Yeah Weiss was just Batman's sidekick. She felt so disconnected from the plot I thought I was looking at V4-5 Blake. Plus why was she so persistent on keeping Batman in Remnant? Was her daddy kink that bad, is she just into older men who are trapped as teenagers? Gross.

•Superman and Ruby's arcs were weak. Ruby leader arc was just so lame, like her significant leader moment was just "sneak jessica and jaune away for a sneak attack" jesus that was lame. And Superman didn't have an arc really, his semblance unlocking, leadership, and blame for getting trapped was all super undercooked.

•The Wonderwoman, Yang, and Blake dynamic was so forgettable. Like I genuinely couldn't remember that arc, was it like a warrior thing right? And were they like... flirting? Really? NEXT!

•Oh god go back to the other one! Not the Ren x Nora x Cyborg love corner, couldnt they have done something else with these guys? This is just sad. Shame on you RT

•Oh yay, Jaune mourns over Pyrrha again. This is after V6 right, so did we have to focus on Pyrrha being desd again? Like come on let her rest, even DBZ doesn't bring up Krillin death as much. I do admit, Jaune helping Jess out was nice, their interactions were sweet.

•I did like Jess' anxiety arc, I think it was handled very tastefully and was a great way to write her character. She's too fucking adorable, her VA was one of the good one's. This actually gave her some great spotlight that we dont see much of besides DC superhero girls

•And I actually liked Vixen, design was fine and the voice was good, even if her power was heavily underutilized. But she was cool

•Barry what did they do to you? Oh Barry no! Why did they flash and make him so... nothing!? He looks like Bart and Wally mixed together. And he's the twist villian? Why didn't the technology based supervillian yake over the technology based hero!? Barry was so boring, I knew he was gonna be a side character but bro why make him the boring twist villian?

•Killg%re. Oh fuck if im not using the percentage thing im not censoring it this crossover makes me too angry to follow the rules. So boring. He calls himself so brilliant and smarter than Brainiac and Vandall savage yet his simulation was so easy to pick apart cuz the grimm, their freinds and family, their timezones, and even their own memories are so muddled anybody can pick apart this is a dream! His plan was so bad, stick the league in another dimension? Good so far. In a simulation, okay it can work. Turn them into teens so their hormones kick in? No, moronic, i hate it, I hate this! And look, out of every villian, why Killgore? The idea of a crossover is to grab your big guns and use their names to gather up your audience. If you wanted a lesser known villian who can alter reality go with BatMite, Mister Mxyzptlk, reverse flash, the Legion of Doom, or jesus anybody? Not somebody so forgettable that even KGBeast is more recognized than him.

Well atleast it's over... wait, part one?

NnnnoooOOOOOO-

#rwde #dc #rwby #rwby x justice league #i hated this

how would you change tim's character to make him ""better""

(in reference to this post (i think?))

ooh! this is a very interesting thing to ask and deserves an answer for when i can actually think on it more thoroughly but for now:

firstly, for the record, i fully agree with this post about how steph should been the third robin

but okay. i think a key element to any post!jason robin is actually exploring Bruce's grief and how its effecting him. i understand its a comic so they have to keep the action flowing instead of indulging entirely in the vast and deep topic of grief (unfortunately) but i think by actually acknowledging jasons death they can shape the narrative and have it be high stakes and a continuing arc!

bruce couldn't save his own son - how is he trusted to save someone else's? how is he going to save a city and stop evil when he couldn't for the person that mattered most? how he's once again fighting in hopes to prevent someone else from experiencing the same loss but it doesnt take away his pain.

especially with bruces complex to save everyone. anyone dies or has a tragedy occur to them and bruce blames himself every single time. he believes should of (and could of) done something - even if it was impossible. so tie that with how hes supposed to always be prepared, always save the day, always be that dark knight and hero? but failing to the extent that his own child is dead? how jason died hoping bruce would burst in there and save him and then died as a hero when he should of been living as a boy? him being responsible by introducing jason to thie vigilant lifestyle and how his memory lives on in everything bruce does.

show me that guilt! that insecurity and how he still loves jason!! this man hung onto the death of his parents this obsessively, itll be even worse for his child! i literally cannot stress this element enough, he needs to grieve. its gonna be messy and complex and difficult. he's never going to stop grieving to an extent, you never do.

NOW. onto tim (unfortunately). each robin has been a reflection of Bruce's characteristics and sides to its most extreme. if it has to be tim, personally ill go more for tim being more like bruce's detached side. countless nights staring at a screen or paperwork, not knowing social cues as well, having a tendency to isolate when overwhelmed or to avoid reality, paranoid. i think of this panel immediately:

[ID: Alfred scolding Tim after he punched Damian for falsely believing he was attacking Alfred. Alfred says, "He was stopping me from falling. The poor lad is afraid. He needs comfort... Not a fist in the face. It's all very well being blessed with fierce intelligence. But that doesn't mean a thing if it's not tempered by compassion, Timothy. Mr. Wayne knows that." END ID]

not careless, not heartless - to be a robin, you have to care and want to help people. but how you help and style is very different. his compassion being linked to 'the greater picture' vs jason who was so much for the actual people and individuals and "small details' that often get forgotten about in said general picture. jason focused on the brush strokes that were the people of gotham while tim would go for gotham as a whole. what would be the best long term effective? what would it take to reach it?

i think by making tim more logic based in his compassion and is a good way to challenge bruce in a way that all the robins have before. its how that dynamic works, there has to be chemistry and that balance.

let him see this kid as a reflection of why he cant deprive himself from his heart despite how much it hurts seeing another little boy running around in a yellow cape when it should be his little boy still. that it hurts because he had someone to hurt over. have bruce mourning and grieving and impacted by jason's death (canonly he was rougher as batman because of it/emotionally withdrawn more) while also scared shitless that this kid is going to be next and he'll be making another father go through the same lost hes going through

it also allows tim more room for character development and to have a distinct factor instead of his cherry picked perfect traits and 'flaws' from the others before him. its still robin but hes so different from jason and as a result bruce has to actually confront his feelings and how jason taught/reminded him that he cant forget the people while waiting around and planning for the perfect big picture. that without the people, who cares if the city is saved? it acknowledges jasons life and death and honours jason beyond a perserved costume:

[ID: Robin telling Jason he's gotten too emotionally involved with a case due to not picking up on obvious signs of their convict, Felipe, being on cocaine. The next panel is Batman and Robin on a stakeout. Batman's internal narration reads, "Over the next three days we have a dozen opportunities to bust Felipe holding. But we hold off. I want to take out a part of the Senior Garzonas' operation when Felipe takes his fall. Robin doesn't like this idea." Additional note is that because of this, Felipe had time to intimidated the woman he raped into killing herself. END ID]

i know a lot of this is about jason and bruce instead but you cant ignore him or pretend he didnt happen. jason's death is was what gave birth to tim's existence (and capitalism but yknow). its going to impact him and the robin dynamic forever. its going to change bruce forever because he didn't want another robin. he didnt want someone else's kid. he wanted his son who was six feet under

people talk how tim is the robin that chose to be robin and to involve himself instead of the circumstances causing it. go heavier into that. its why he clings to that title and is an asshole to damian - because he thinks without that mantel - hes nothing. have him insecure and obsessive over it. have the obvious distance between him and how bruce was with the robins before him because they were his actual sons. you can love and care about someone but not see them as family. ESPECIALLY with tim's parents - who did love him but were still neglectful and how that'll make him insecure/grow a complex.

have tim having to learn to trust others and how to be vulnerable but still struggle. have him learning to not isolate as much and snapping at others when he does. have the conflict of tim saying its a sacrifice to help the greater good. hell, have him lean more into the mad scientist and invention route even, he did cloned his best fucking friend. i dont care what, just give him SOME personality beyond batman's lapdog and always being so perfectly imperfect that his few 'flaws' are polished and excused.

#in context its 3 am and my nose and eye are simultaneously bleeding as I type this #HOWEVER i finally had spoons to go through my inbox some to hopefully stop avoiding eye contact with it in shame #but just. yeah.#you cant erase jason out of the narrative because the narrative and batman's entire dynamic forever changed afterwards #and i think for any third robin jason's death should be very much felt. the narrative killed him and now he haunts it #itll impact everything and by contrasting more you can have a fun batman and robin dynamic still while making tim unique in his own way #and while actually acknowledging jason existed beyond a perserved costume (got my own issues with that) or shitty writing blaming him for #his own death.#does any of this make sense?? probably not but its fine i think u all expect mediocrity from me #company in the crypt #jason todd #tim drake #bruce wayne #meta #posts from the crypt

Hi!! if you want, could you write some extra fluffy “Dick Grayson in a relationship” headcanons? thank you!!

sorry for the long ass wait babes, i am gonna start actually writing all requests. wips are on hold atm lol, not proof read !!

parings ; richard grayson x fem!reader

warnings ; none

navigation | masterlist

he’s the cook out of the both of u

i literally just imagine him knowing how to cook, probably from years of watching alfred and maybe going to cooking classes on the side

doesn’t honestly know what to do with free time so he applied to a few classes tbh

if you stitch his initials into the curl of your sweater, he’ll melt honestly

same if you carved yours into a few of his

u both have this corny thing of a little heart shaped pin that he wears onto his sweaters also

jason makes fun of you both for it

“fucking nerds”

one night you talk to dick about him and the rest of the batfamily needing one night of a break and to do something fun

thats when you and him come up with a mystery crime game

like u know those ones where u rent a room and everyone gets their own character to roleplay and everyone has to find out whos the killer

yeah thats what u two come up with LMAO

u and richard are not the best at fun ideas

you explain the plans while the rest of them are looking at u like ur crazy

dick is just smiling widely

somehow u get them too all argee

and everyone takes their active role

bruce is a famous detective, tim, cass and jason are siblings whos father just got murdered, duke is the dead dad, barbara is their mother, damian is the butler, alfred is the one in charge of the will, and steph is a family friend while you and dick are guests are the ‘party’

“why am i the butler? is this jasons doing?!”

“no demon child, ever thought maybe its just your role in the family?”

dick facepalms

“both of u stop, the order is random now lets begin”

the whole thing is just a mess and everyone fighting

also declaring that the other is the killer

everything is so messy and stupid that bruce cant even link who murdered duke

“this is unorganized and ridiculous! how can i connect the dots when none of them match!”

in the end everyone finds out steph was the killer, who was the child of an affair and apparently duke was her real father and she wanted revenge

“no way did Blondie outsmart us”

you and dick hype steph up while the rest wants to kill u three

“good family bonding everyone :)” dick 2021

he also loves traditional winter things to do

ice skating and being amazing at it, surprise surprise

shows off sm and laughs when u fall on your ass

also does the whole “oh look ifs mistletoe :9” while literally holding it over your head

you prefer to stay at the wayne manor for christmas time tbh

and fall as well

especially how lively it starts getting around that time

for christmas crime fighting slows a bit and everyone’s running around for christmas gifts

and alfred is always baking something and the manor gets that christmas smell of pine and the coldness outside

building snowmen is without a doubt

same with snowball fights

there’s definitely a point in there where you learn how to start stitches for when dick comes home all banged up

always patching him up and applying medical because you know he’ll never do it

same with reminding him of it

a lil routine of you putting healing creams on the needed places before you two go to sleep

him getting use to sleeping with you everynight that its hard for him to fall asleep without you

you guys are losers and mock bruce whenever he’s talking serious

jason joins in too

bruce always ends up turning around and glaring at u both

for some reason he always has cold ass feet? and he loves to touch you with them and laugh when you scream at it

also has freezing hands and forgets to wear gloves most of the time in fall and winter

so it leaves with you of the duty and taking his hands and rubbing and blowing on them

as well as placing them in your pockets

he loves kissing u the most when you’re both just walking out in the freezing snow

you look so pretty with tinted pink cheeks and your nose heating up

plus your little sniffles

he’ll never tell you but 50% of the time he leaves his gloves at home on purpose

he enjoys watching you get annoyed at him and grabbing his hands in your tiny ones to warm his up

The batfamily but they're going to the beach because i want to go to the beach and i said so

(here’s another beach batfamily headcanon if anyone’s interested)

make it like a 2-hour road trip with like no bat-gear at all have patience with me.

fucking HELL IN THE CAR WITH ROCK PLAYING IN THE BACK oh and it's a normal shitty car with like seventy bags in the back and they're all mushed together in the back (lets make it one of those cars with like three rows because face it there's like 30 of them)

and there's bruce driving and alfred shotgun and then there's like a space in the back for 053453879 bags oh and also harper and cullen because they were late to the car (harper is 1000% the person that packs the same day the trip is you can’t tell me otherwise)

back row there’s only two (three i think actually idk) seats but there’s (in order) steph, jason, duke, cass (and damian is on steph’s lap because bruce said so and damian didn’t fit anywhere else)

front two seats tim is sharing with dick (yup. you guessed it. tim is on dick’s lap because that’s literally how family trips go) on ONE SEAT and babs has the other seat but she’s also like she has 234934853489 bags on top of her

middle of the road jason goes ‘bruce i have to pee’ and everyone groans SO LOUDLY until steph goes ‘me too actually damian you’re squeezing my bladder’

so they stop at a gas station and they all literally roll out and everyone is complaining because ‘tim is SO heavy bruce you have NO idea’ and ‘oh my god there is SO much sexual tension between cass and steph b i need you to put me somewhere else’ and ‘why THE HELL cant i go on top of the car’

and then jason comes back from the gas station and steph is behind him holding like five bags of chips (the party sizes) and jason goes finger guns and he’s like ‘i paid brucie’ and bruce goes ‘yeah? with what money?’ and jason puts his sunglasses on and goes ‘yours ✨’

steph decides that she’s done with ‘jason’s stinky-ass armpit smell’ and harper says she needs to stretch her long-ass legs and as they open the back door all the bags fall out and harper just hop off happily

and bruce is just so tired of those whiny hoes so he sends tim and steph to the back (where harper and cullen were) and then in the back seats he sends (in order) dick, cass, jason, damian (and harper is on cass’s lap because cass is str0nk) and in the other two seats there’s duke, cullen and then babs in the same seat because she didn’t get out of the car in the first place

BUT DON’T LEAVE YET i have like 50 more headcanons (most based on real-life experiences because road trips are motherfucking insane)

gum in hair, same drill.

steph is jealous because harper is with cass and not her and tim is bored out of his motherfucking mind and he’s on the phone with cissie

jason is going fucking insane and he’s eating the chips that they had bought (but not the ones he had bought for himself, the ones that tim likes, specifically)

Damian is squished and he hates it

dick is asleep and he’s leaning on cass

tim and steph fall asleep except it doesn’t look cute they look ridiculous actually because they stretched out a blanket and used the towel bag as a pillow and then tim just used a towel as blanket and it’s a hercules towel

babs is talking with duke and cullen is the ‘are we there yet’ boy

tim wakes up and he’s looking for his chips and jason only fuckign BURPS and then world war three starts while steph eats her caramel popcorn

duke is sure that his back is gonna stay curved forever oh and also tim is now in the back seat with jason and they’re still fighting and damian is screaming because he’s even MORE squished now

harper wakes up and she goes to the back with steph and cass is asleep on dick’s shoulder but dick has ZERO idea because man will sleep like a rock and also he’s snoring

jason is going batshit so he goes to the back and steph goes front and damian is now sprawled on top of dick and cass because there’s no room anywhere

the cops are right behind them so they gotta go stealth mode because nobody is wearing a seatbelt (except bruce and alfred) and the car limit is 7 and there’s like 12

they cover themselves with like blankets and towels and dick and cass are still asleep so they throw a few bags on damian (who WAS asleep until steph accidentally threw him the bag with the waterbottles)

duke shoves cullen under the seat

bruce tries to put on his im-just-driving-to-the-beach-with-my-dad-and-my-kids face but everything goes to hell when duke accidentally steps on cullen’s fingers and dick wakes up with cass’s hair in his mouth

and at this point they were just halfway there

(reference of the car-ish)

Queen Marinette

Here is a ~2000 word song fic that I wrote in place of working on my ongoing fics hope you guys like it.

I saw a post a while ago where Damian would call Mari Queen/Your Majesty as she was a princess, but i cant find the post anymore but the idea stuck so here we are.

~~~~~~~~~~

The League of Assassins also known as the League of Shadows is one of the Earth's best kept secret society second to Themiscyra home of the Amazons and Atlantis of the Atlantans. However there is one that only a handful know and whispers of their existence are mythical in the cosmos. Only known to the head families, or rulers, of Themiscyra, Atlantis, and the League of Assassins.

That would be the Kingdom at Miraculi.

Marinette is anything but a normal girl. She is the crowned princess of Miraculi as well as being the reincarnation of the goddess Tikki. She is creation herself, but on top of that she was blessed by the other gods as well, meaning she is able to wield their gifts as well. She is Princess Marinette Dawntreader of Miraculi.

But right now she wants to be anywhere but the palace. At the age of eight she just met her betrothed and let's just say he did not make a good first impression.

In front of her stood Damian Al Ghul the heir of Demons and next head of the league of shadows. The league is the guard of Miraculi, ensuring that the existence of the Kingdom remains peaceful and in turn the Kingdom of Miraculi supplies the magic of the Lazarus Pit. The concealment of Themiscyra and Atlantans able to survive under water are other blessings provided by Miraculi. But back to the pain on hand, Damian Al Ghul.

"Tt. you really do look the part of a princess" she was in a long flowing dress with long sleeves as she had finished her classes for the day. "Fragile and helpless."

"Yes and you appear as a demon" she shot back. "self-absorbed and arrogant" she turned on her heel "keep up little Prince" she called over her shoulder.

They got to know each other better but he was always so cold and distant. But they grew to love each other. Damian left to be with his father when they were 10, but they still stayed in contact. Then when they were 13 she got news that broke her heart, Damian was dead.

She couldn't stay in the Kingdom without remembering him. She needed distance and new scenery wouldn’t hurt. So she brought it up to her parents, and they were reluctant, but Diana Princess of Themiscyra brought up the solution Marinette would be staying with Sabine Cheng, an Amazon who was granted leave of Themiscyra , and her husband Tom Dupain.

That was how she found herself in Paris as an 8th year introducing herself as Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

That was how she also met Adrien Agreste. He was kind and sweet. He was new to school life just as she was new to life outside of Miraculi.

But not long afterwards did Lila Rossi enroll at Du Ponte.

With a quick search on google revealed most of her tales to be just that, fiction.

Adrien and Mari dated for two years before he ended the relationship. It was because she

wouldn't stop trying to reveal Lila's lies. That it was hurting his image that he was seen with her. That if only they knew the truth it would be enough. Well, fine, goodbye Adrien was her only thought. Her head held high.

Cross my heart and hope to die

I don't need another guy

To fight my battles, to overshadow me

Don't ya know I'm dangerous?

Fire burnin' in my blood

I got this handled, I don't need rescuin'

Unfortunately for him she didn't stop trying to get her class to see the truth.

A side effect of the liar's influence was that she was ostracized from the rest of the class.

But that wasn't a priority. Miraculi was going to become public. So she had a revealing ceremony to prepare for.

But before that she was asked to join as a joint member of the Teen Titians and Young Justice.

She was to meet with the two teams at Mt. Justice so she was looking for Kaldur, Aqualad, as she exited the building.

She was making her way towards him when she heard it.

"Princess" Adrien called and pulled her to look at him.

You can call me a princess all you like

'Cause you love to keep me helpless by your side

But that ain't what I want, I'ma show you

"Can I do something for you Agreste?" she asked as calmly as she could. "Because if not I am meeting a friend I haven't seen in ages."

"Just make up with Lila" he started "she isn't hurting anyone. And when you do everyone will be your friend again."

She smiled and noticed Kaldur closer than before. "Kaldur good to see you again how was your flight?" Adrien turned to see who she was talking to, and Kaldur after a second of shock responded.

"Uneventful, is everything set?" he asked giving her a way out.

"Yes" Mari answered "Sorry Adrien, another time"

"B- 02 Aqualad, B- 34 Omni"

She was in a black formfitting sleeveless top that rose to form a mask covering her face to her nose. Dark red combat boots that were tucked into black motorbike pants. A red belt with a forest green sash that faintly resembled a skirt just under it. Her gloves and arm guards were black and grey, and all over were golden accents. Her hair was cut short and was pitch black and her eyes were a golden color with flecks of green. (Outfit)

After quick introductions she noticed him, Robin of the Teen Titians, was standoffish but was familiar oh so familiar. Then she saw his hand twitch towards his sword and tapped the butt of the hilt twice before dropping his hand.

That was all the confirmation she needed. As everything fell into place.

That little jerk.

Batman asked for her to spar, to assess her combat skills. As she predicted Robin stepped in to be her partner.

She pulled two red batons from the small of her back and they began. Yes they were evenly matched but then she decided to mess with him. She turned back time to feign a right but ducked and swept his legs from under him. With him distracted she created a Mirage of herself and another to make herself invisible. She snuck up behind him used venom to freeze him and flip his cape over his head while her Mirage took his sword.

"Tt. unfreeze me" he practically growled she noticed almost everyone flinch and took a step back.

"You sure that's what you want, while I have your sword?" she taunted. She noticed a few shot her looks of sympathy. Odd. As Robin stayed quiet. "Fine" she dropped venom and he charged "Have it your way little Prince."

She jumped and he seemed to freeze mid charge but she didn't. She created a shell-ter around him.

Which he crashed into. He stood up and was gaping at her.

She dropped shell-ter and was making a few final decisions with Batman, while Robin still hadn't moved 30 minutes later and his mouth still agape. By this time Nightwing had come over.

"I think you broke little wing" he chuckled.

"You think so." she responded with a slight question. "Close your mouth your going to catch flies Al Ghul."

"Yes, Your Majesty" he finally snapped out of his stupor.

She saw Nightwing and Batman share a look and then look between the two of them.

I'ma show you

How to treat me like a queen (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees

Can I get a "Yes, your majesty?"

So treat me like a queen (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees

Can I get a "Yes, your majesty?"

They explained the role of Miraculi in the world. How they had met and knew one another. Their engagement and finally the reopening of the Kingdom to the world. By now she dropped her transformation, meaning her eyes were back to bluebell and her hair was a midnight blue, and the bats had taken off their masks.

Then an idea hit.

"Your plotting something" Damian snapped her out of her planning.

"Plotting makes it seem malicious" she paused "I'm planning."

"I'll bite, what are you planning?" Nightwing, Dick as he introduced, asked.

"How would you like to come to my coronation and be some of the first outsiders in Miraculi?" she responded.

Eyes on me like I'm a prize

But you better recognize

I'm not your angel 'cause I belong to me

You can call me a princess all you like

'Cause you love to keep me helpless by your side

But that ain't what I want, I'ma show you

As she guessed the news of Miraculi opening up was all the news was covering. The hidden Kingdom known only by the Amazons and Atlantans, officially, was all everyone was talking about.

The fact that the opening was set for the coronation of the princess added to the suspense.

About a month before our teacher had news. "Due to a special invitation our class has been invited to attend the Princess’ coronation in Miraculi" that was when the class erupted.

In a week Lila convinced everyone she personally asked the Princess to invite the class as a favor to her. That she grew up in the castle with her and was made a lady in waiting. Two weeks until the coronation, she asked Damian to tweet that 'he can't wait to see his best friend again in Miraculi.’ Which caused a small discourse with a boy called Jon Kent of how he was Damian's best friend. Where he answered with 'female best friend. Better Kent' That Lila used to say it was her, and that he only used best friend instead of girlfriend.

I'ma show you

How to treat me like a queen (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees

Can I get a "Yes, your majesty?"

So treat me like a queen (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees

Can I get a "Yes, your majesty?"

The week before they left to Miraculi, in order to show them around. Before landing Mari changed into an emerald green dress with a mandarin collar. A jacket and belt with a duster in a dark silver trimmed with gold and matching gloves. Her hair was in a side braid and a thin golden circlet on her brow. A few of her classmates glared at her but she didn't pay them any attention. (Outfit)

She was the last out of the airport and you could feel the tension in the air. Lila was spouting some nonsense to the guards that were sent to retrieve them. Then they noticed her, every guard formed a straight line to the captain as they dropped onto one knee and bowed their heads. As she passed them they stood up.

"Captain Chase it is good to see you again” she smiled as he also rose.

"The honor is mine Princess" he bowed again.

You can call me a princess all you like

'Cause you love to keep me helpless by your side

But that ain't what I want,

She turned back to face the class. "Welcome to Miraculi, I am Princess Marinette Dawntreader. I hope you enjoy your stay. The guards will escort you in these carriages to the castle for your stay." she mounted Yin (Silver), who Captain Chase brought for her. "I will ride ahead, as they are in capable hands." She smiled and rode off towards home.

The next week was amazing. Between tours of the Kingdom her classmates were part of an honorary court, to glimpse into the Royal life.

Damian almost cut off Lila's head the first time they met. Most of the class realized that if Lila lied about knowing Marinette, well the Princess but Lila hated Mari, and dating Damian, what else had she lied about. Turns out they can use google and Mari received several apologies and offers to be friends. She accepted the apologies but not their offers.

"Why?" was a consensus of the group.

"You realize that you were deceived, but that does not excuse your actions. As I am also assuming you wish to be friends because of my status." That seemed to force them to think, thank Kwami.

I'ma show you

How to treat me like a queen (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees

Can I get a "Yes, your majesty?"

So treat me like a queen (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees

Can I get a "Yes, your majesty?"

But the best part of this week was after the apologies was hearing them all, Lila included, only address her with 'Your Majesty’.

Drastic Measures- Part 9

@daminette-december2019-2020

~Book~

Damian gets a book recommendation, it’s only going to get worse for Bruce from here.

Ao3

First < Previous > Next

---------

“So I’ve drafted up the new policies, the lawyer we hired is looking over it,” Damian explains from his desk, “Do we want to handle branch manager interviews ourselves or delegate,”

“Delegate,” Marinette hums, trying to narrow down her first fashion line, “We still need to visit the manufacturer for the line,”

“Can’t you do that yourself?”

“I suppose,” Marinette circles the one she likes best, tabling the others for later, “What are you going to do?”

“Wait,” Damian sighs, “Everything needs to be looked over before we can proceed,”

“Well don’t bore yourself out of your mind,” Marinette close her sketchbook gathering her stuff for her trip, she makes a detour to the bookshelf in search of something, “Here,”

“I’m perfectly capable of entertaining myself,” Damian huffs, as she places the book on his desk.

“I’m sure you are,” Marinette says teasingly, getting a withered glare, “How about you entertain yourself with this book, don’t worry you're still doing all the heavy lifting, besides it’s really good,”

“I’m sure it is,” Damian rolls his eyes placing the book to the side.

---

Well, he had said he was sure it was; if sarcastically. Damian sits in the cave as the others dawdle in their preparations for patrol, reading the book recommended. It was fine not his usual preference. Besides he could put it down whenever he wanted… it’s just the sooner he finished the sooner he could put it down and Marinette wouldn't bother him about it anymore. Plus he has a stakeout tonight, there's nothing else to do. That's the only reason why he brought it on patrol. The only reason.

“Ohhh~ that's a good one,” Damian leaps up to attack, brandishing his sword right to Ladybug's neck… he immediately implodes, “What? didn’t hear me coming?”

“Tt, of course, I did,” He did not.

Ladybug steps away from his blade, Damian hastens to put it down.

“Is there another Akuma?” He asks, having only seen her at battles, he looks around warily.

“Not right now, just patrolling trying to get a lay of the city,” Ladybug looks out over the skyline.

“Don’t let Batman catch you,” Robin warns taking back up his vigilant stakeout position.

“You gonna tell on me?” Ladybug teases, fixing him with her dazzling smile.

“No,” It’s not blushing, just shadows cast in the dark.

“So stakeout?” Robin nods as she comes to sit next to him, “A good book is a great way to pass the time,”

Damian is about to deny his enjoyment, as he would to Marinette when she inevitably asked. But… this is Ladybug and they actually have something to talk about, and neither of them has any place to be.

“It is,”

“That's great! I keep trying to recommend it but everyone turns their nose up at it, saying it's for kids,” Ladybug rants, “Even today! I’m glad at least someone enjoys it,”

“I’d hardly say it fair to relegate it just to children,” Robin frowns, “There are complex themes of freedom seamlessly interwoven into the narrative,”

“Right? A relative of mine gave it to me when I was little, it really helped me break out of my shell,” Ladybug smiles, Robin listens keenly at sharing part of her life. It was hard to imagine the confident amazing woman ever being shy.

“It’s hard to imagine you being shy,” Robin startles as she breaks down laughing.

“You have no idea! When I first started out as Ladybug she was so confident it felt like I became a different person, a hero of Paris, a savior of the people!” Ladybug strikes a pose before shrinking in on herself, “But outside the mask, I was timid and shy, not even able to stand up to a liar or a bully,”

“Bully?” Robin's hand itches towards his sword.

“Yeah back in Paris,” When’s the soonest flight to Paris? “But since being in Gotham I don’t have to be who I was, I feel like the gap between me and Ladybug is getting smaller and smaller, so it’s great being here, even if the weathers terrible,”

“That’s good,” Damian sighs, “Not the weather bit,”

“It’s just so cold!”

“I feel that's an opinion shared among many Parisians,” … I feel like I’m missing something.

“Well it will be nice to go back to Paris,” Damian's heart sinks, “When this is all over,”

“Why,” He bites out, “It doesn't sound like you were happy there,”

“Oh, I was,” Ladybug assures with a smile, “Even if I was bullied I had the love of my parents, my friends were still supportive even if they fell for a liar,”

“But you weren’t yourself,”

“Pfft, I was just as much myself as I am here, just more confident,” Ladybug shrugs, looking at something beyond the horizon, “Freedom gives you the confidence to explore parts of yourself you didn’t know, it doesn't change who you were,”

“It doesn't?”

“No- hey what's wrong,” Ladybug leans over, closer to him.

“Nothing,” Robin shifts away, only slightly, “I just thought we were more similar but I guess not,”

“Did I say something to upset you?”

“No,”

“Correction,” Ladybug says firmly, “What did I say to upset you?”

Do not compromise your identity, do not compromise your identity.

“... I wasn't raised in Gotham, I was raised… elsewhere, not to be a hero,”

“Well that's dumb,” Robin rears back at her bluntness, “Was batman raised to be a hero?”

“No?”

“Oh good, I took a shot in the dark at that one,”

“He wasn't, but I was raised to be the opposite,” Do not compromise your identity, “By assassins,”

Great job Damian

---

Wow lots of kids in Gotham were raised as assassins

This would be the point Marinette feels she is missing something.

Or maybe the league of assassins was planning something with it, not like it’s unusual for them to train kids. “So you must be pretty strong huh?” The league's training is brutal, Marinette knows her Maman did everything in her power to protect her from it for a reason.

“What?”

“Well you have an assassin's training, bet your sneaky, good at taking criminals down swiftly,” Robin was now opening and closing his mouth trying to find something to say.

Worst than the training, she had been told is the lack of freedom. You don’t get to choose who lives who dies, your own fight. Those orders come from the top, the people with the power to take you down. Or not so much in her Mamans place.

“Unfortunately the swiftest way is murder, and here that’s frowned upon,” Ladybug cracks a smile, lightening the mood.

“True, I’m sure there can be more creative uses though,” She had been trained first and foremost by her Maman, Tikki had told her no other holder fought like her. The only new ingredient was a small helping of assassination, minus the murder… well we’ll see when she takes down hawkmoth.

“Unfortunately Batman would rather I forget that particular training than apply it,”

“That doesn't sound good you shouldn-,” She's about to add more when the comms crack to life and Robin motions her to be to stay quiet.

“Robin,” She picks up on Batman's voice over the comm, “Move to the west side,”

“I’m on a stakeout,”

“I’ll send Red Robin,”

“This is my target,”

“The west side Robin,”

“Fine,” Robin stands, a sour expression on his face, “I have to go,”

“Do you?” She for one never listened to Batman.

“... it’s orders,” With that Robin leaves.

Still, following orders huh?

Of course, Batman would be nothing like the league, no matter how much he annoyed her. But still was similar in ways. Lack of choice. Following orders. He didn’t even create his own identity as a hero just following the mantel of Robin. Marinette had formed her identity as Ladybug long before she knew there was a mantel to uphold, and if she had known? There's no way she could have handled it.

How was he expected to grow this the same base structure? Her Maman was the most amazing person she knew, but though cryptid stories missing crucial details Marinette had pieced together that wasn't always the case. No, she had become the person she was by striking out on her own, by being brave enough to step out. By getting the chance to fall in love. Marinette could only wonder what kind of person Robin could be if he allowed himself to do the same.

--------

No taglist I cant keep track of them :P

Why I Left pt.2

Its been 5 years since my kidnapping, honestly I had thought that they were going to treat me just like grandfather had. But I was wrong, though while kidnapping me they did use chloraphorm and sleeping drugs to knock me out and keep me out till we reached Paris. They are actually all extremely nice. During the first month I had struggled, lashed out, and refused to listen to them. But they took it kindly. Fu would prepare me tea and poor himself a cup from the same pot as well as allow me to add my own sugar and cream and such. Sabien would sit by me and as the month progressed she would do my hair in intricate braids while Tom would bake snacks for me while I watched and taught me videogames. It was these things that caused me to eventually trust them enough to sit and listen.

Fu explained to me about his twin Ra’s and the order and creation of The League of Assasigns. He continued on and told me everything, they has kidnapped me because the kwami Tikki had said my energy was the perfect match to her miraculous. At that time they had no clue Ra’s had a daughter let alone grandchildren. I had to explain it all on the notepad they had given me to respond with. They were surprised by Damian and I’s existence and horrified with my treatment, not just by the league ether. After that they began to teach me so many things. How to fight, to use my miraculous, to cook and bake, to sew when I showed interest, to dance, and most importantly to speak in so many languages and not just the slim Arabic and English that I had figured out how to say. By the age of 11 I was able to join public school under the new identity they gave to me for the duration of my time with them, I was now to be known as Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I got 2 years of being a mostly normal kid, before Hawkmoth finally appeared not long after I turned 13. From that point on I was the “daughter” of 2 bakers who was actually the runaway but later discovered to have been kidnapped Wayne. As well as Ladybug heroin of Paris, who fought alongside her trusty partner Chat Nior. Well our partnership has had its ups and downs, him being a constant flirt with no comprehension of boundaries or what the word no means. But we got buy for a while.

When I turned 14 Lila had shown up and tore away all the friends I had made and helped me to discover just how spineless and stupid my partner truly was. Yes I know Chats identity have since day one and to be honest I’m surprised grandpa Fu even picked him being in a rush or not. It was just days after he told me to take the high road when I took his miraculous from him. Which brings us to now. I sigh as I sit in my seat in the back of the classroom and open my laptop getting ready to check the latest in Wayne news when the front of the class breaks out in excitement.

“I can’t believe that the Wayne's are coming to Paris!!! Girl you will finally be able to see your childhood friend after so long,” Alya said as she nudged Lila. I sit up in surprise as I had not known that, but then again she hadn't checked on the latest Wayne news in about a week due to being busy with schooling, hero work and commissions.

“Well they did find evidence that Aara was brought to Paris after her tragic kidnapping, I just hope that they find her soon, I miss the long conversations we used to have.” Lila said wiping away a stray fake tear. I rolled my eyes before packing my stuff back into my bag and walking to the door. Mrs. Bustier entered as I was about to exit.

“Where do you think you are going Marinette,” She said drawing the attention of the class to us.

“I’m not feeling the greatest Ms. Bustier I was gonna try and get through the day but I don't think I can,” I replied hoping to be able to leave quickly and to talk to Grandpa Fu, Aunty Bean and Uncle Tom. “I’m sorry Marinette but I cant let any of you leave right now,” she responded.

“Why not,” I asked I really needed to get out of their. “Because it is suspected that the missing Wayne may ether be in this school or that someone here has seen her since her kidnapping. So the Wayne's, some of their friends, a few Justice League members and local law enforcement will be coming to look over the classes and talk to you all. But first their will be an assembly on the court so that they can explain some things about her and to show us an old picture and an aged up photo. I'm sorry that you don't feel well but I need you to go sit down and we will see about letting you go as soon as possible.

Now I really felt nauseous, its not that I don't want to go home, or to see them all again. Because I would love nothing more then that, don't get me wrong I love grandpa, aunty and uncle. But I miss my father even though we never got to bond, I miss my adopted brothers and sisters, I miss Alfred the cat, I miss titus and batcow, I miss Granpy Alfie I miss mom who joined them not long after I went missing, but most importantly I miss my twin brother Damian. But if they find me now they will spirit me away and keep me under lock and key. Plus what would happen to Fu, Tom and Bean if they find me. I sit back quietly and pull out my phone. texting the groupchat I have with them.

Beautiful Light: Did you guys know that my family would be in town

Pops: Yes we did

Bean: They are going to find out about you ether way, if not at school then here because Talia found out about us being related and tracked us down.

I sigh as Tom texted

Tommy: Mari, we need the help of the League you cant keep going as you are.

I guess he is right, I hope that when they eventually find me I can explain things and get them to understand. Deciding I was done with texting them for now I decided to pull out my design book and sketch up a few ideas I have had floating around in my head for a while. This went on for about an hour before we were all called down to the assembly.

Dickinette - Day 1 civil war

Marinette and Dick grew up together at Haly’s circus with Mari’s mother being a tightrope walker and her father being the ‘strong man’. She grew up learning to tightrope walk from her mother just as Dick learnt trapeze from his parents. And a game they used to play during training was Dick swooping down on trapeze without notice and picking her up mid walk. The two of them found this hilarious and both of their parents watched with exasperation at their antics. The two of them were inseparable, sneaking off to play with the circus animals or climb anything they good to get to a high place and watch the daily working of the troupe.

But then everything changed when Dick’s parents fell and Dick was taken away by that billionaire even though Marinette’s parents had said that Dick could stay with them.

Of course as a travelling circus, Mari didn’t get to stay in Gotham for too long, but the troupe does come back twice a year and Bruce makes sure to let the kids meet up as often as they want while they’re here.

Then years later their initial separation the circus returns, but this time there is no Marinette. Dick is especially distressed since no one seems to think twice about her disappearance, not even her parents. So with the help of Batman Dick begins to investigate, but ultimately they have no luck and find no answers about what happened to his childhood friend.

After Dick goes from Robin to Nightwing, he’s got younger brothers and sisters and his family is much bigger than he ever thought it would be. They love to tease him about being overprotective or hovering too much but he just cant stand the thought that any more of his important people could just disappear out of his life if he loses sight of them. Bruce understands, but thankfully he’s kept it to himself.

But then the Court of owls comes to their attention, and he really would have written them off as just another cult organisation for them to deal with if bruce hadn’t caught one and declared that the man was genetically related to him. Even worse was when the dead looking body fixed itself and fought its way free.

Then he almost forgets about it until the city is overrun with the almost undying soldiers. His family were the prime targets, and no matter how much he wished to go help them he kind of had his hands full dealing with the two that had apparently been assigned to him. Cobb again and a smaller and apparently younger talon who didn’t speak.

The worst thing about fighting talons is that no matter how much damage you did, the only one that felt the pain was you, but eventually he landed a well placed hit to the females mask and was left stunned for a moment as a familiar face was revealed, granted she was older now, her eyes were the dull colour of tarnished gold and the once happy face was white as bone with blue veins stretching like cracks across it.

“mari-“

Of course she didn’t answer. There wasn’t even a slicker of recognition in her eyes as she took another swipe at him with her knives. All the while Cobb taunted him, telling him that it was his fault that his friend had become this monster. About how he was supposed to be the one that was chosen, but when he wasn’t at the circus, the court looked at other potential candidates.

“I protested of course, it was supposed to be your destiny to join me in service to the court. But as talons our words are worth very little to the Grandmaster. But she’s been such a good learner. Such a dangerous little thing she’s shaping up to be once we killed those pesky emotions. After we’re done with you, she’ll go work on the rest of your rag tag vigilante family.”

The thought of others using his friend to hurt his family infuriated him more and he continued to fight, trying desperately to snap Marinette back to reality. But eventually he was forced up to the rooftop, the two of the watching from a slightly lower vantage point while Cobb continued with his taunts.

Dick checked his surroundings and prayed that what he was about to do would work. He shot off his grapple and leapt, swooping down past Cobb and snatching Marinette up by the waist. The two of them zipped through the air. She fought him during the initial drop then went slack during the upswing, it was almost like they were kids again. Then reality hit them, then again it was probably the glass window they had crashed through.

Dick sat up from where he had rolled and watched marinette’s still body for a moment breathing in relief when she twitched. Then came his name and moments later he had his arms full of crying Marinette as she panicked over the things she’d done under the Court’s control.

He decides to take her back to the manor, and helps her downstairs, only to find Cobb waiting for them at the entrance. And suddenly Marinette is off to attack the man, fighting him down the street for a time before throwing him into an icecreamery. Shouting for Dick to lock them in the freezer and that he can thaw her out later if her really wants to.

Dick of course is confused but trusts her. So he ends up spending most of the night sitting on a counter wondering how he’s going to get them back home without cobb waking up. Its early in the morning with the store owner shows up and Dick ends up borrowing his refrigerated truck and dragging the two home.

He really hopes that Alfred wouldn’t mind too much that he stuck a person in the deep freezer.

But with that problem out of the way he goes about ‘ thawing’ Marinette, setting her on fluffy blankets in his bathroom and hitting on the heat lights and grabbing his hair dryer to help speed things along.

Eventually a finger twitched, and he’s felt this before. The complete and total terror and relief, he felt it when Jay died and then showed up as red hood years later, when Bruce disappeared and was thought dead only to have ended up in some unknown time, or when Damian was killed and was resurrected.

Then a while later her eyes flutter open, her eyes now alive and dancing as a smile graces her lips. And he puts the hairdryer aside and wraps the multitude of blankets around her and guides her shivering form through the manor to one of the many lounges, cranked the heating, chose some movies and sat there with her until the others got home.

No doubt Bruce would have endless questions. But for now be had his best friend back. Not that she was quite the same as she used to be. But she was back all the same.
