#Jason is a menace and a ball of stress

[owlithere]

Some time ago I got obsessed with the idea of Damian and Respawn (who really need a better name) growing up as twins.

Mostly I just adore the headcanon in which Jason is their (and the other league kids') big brother father figure.

And if I had to choose another name for Respawn, it would be Austen Austin or Nathan - I can't decide. Both meanings would fit with the meaning of Damian's name and would also end in the letter n. While Austin would add to Jason's obsession with Austen (even if I think we should give him more books - especially in different AUs), Nathan would have a more fitting diminutive aka Nati….

hiii (cats here btw)

my hcs for steph + dami + jason

There's either a universe where Damian ends up shorter than Steph and get's terrorized for it like crazyyy OR he ends up tallest of the fam but ends up getting terrorized for being shorter than Jon

Steph and Damian spar in Selina's stilettoes for the sillies. Jason stole Talia's heels but couldn't spar because 1. they were boots therefore unfair 2. he tore them because big feet (his ass got BEAT)

Stephanie stole the crowbar that Damian gave Jason, spray painted it purple and regifted it to him. She also spray paints his guns purple but he don't care and still uses them sometimes hashtag slay gorliee

When it's steph's shark week Damian let's her keep alfred the cat as a stress ball and Jason (Attempts to) disappears because Steph has punching tendencies during her period and well. He's the punching bag. (she really doesn't its just funny to beat him uo)

Stephanie sometimes thinks of the daughter she gave away. Although she never even looked at her face, Damian sometimes gives her sketches of her hypothetical daughter doing silly girl things, just like her mom, whenever she's feeling too down.

ALL OF THEM HAVE CURLY HAIR but varying degrees- jason got them white boy curls yasss. Meanwhile Damian has wavy hair while Steph's hair are so damn spiky because she keeps combing them with a straight hair comb

OK THATS ALL I HAVE SORRYYYY

2) I feel like Jason gets back at stephanie by giving her a black mask bc they are the type to have such dark humor 😭

3) stephanie is such a menace during shark week istg

4) stephanie confides in Jason abt the loss of her kid, and Damian eavesdropped the first time .. so it led to him drawing. shocking stephanie at first ..

5)I swear stephanie so ruined the ends of her hair at one post by the brush and because she straightened it bc she used to be embarrassed abt her curly hair 😩

@ephemeren​ this is your fault, I couldn’t stop thinking about that one post and this happened. I changed Annabeth to Piper, because falling into hell and all that.

Jason rolled the blob of wax he had just been handed between his fingers, squishing it around a bit.

“Sirens around here, Sparky. Gotta stay safe.”

“Right.” He looked up in time to see Piper, who was standing just outside of his cabin door, form her own wax ball into two little wedge shapes and shove one of them into her ear, grimacing as she did. “Everyone else already taken care of?”

“All but one.” She smiled at him as she tucked her hair behind her other ear and maneuvered the wax past her piercings. That was gonna be Hades to get out later.

“Shouldn’t you wait to—” Too late. She gestured at her stopped up ears and smiled as she shrugged, holding out one last lump of wax. She smacked his shoulder and moved further into the ship, peeking around corners as she went. He leaned out of his door to watch her make her way toward the engine room.

“It’ll be fine! I got it!” She was a little too loud in the weird silence of the ship, but she probably couldn’t tell.

Jason raised an eyebrow, but if she said it would be fine, it would probably be fine. Piper didn’t play around with her friends’ safety—or her teammates’ safety, if they weren’t quite friends yet. She was probably planning something.

Jason looked back at the wax. He did not want to put that in his ears, but it wasn’t like he had any other options. Earplugs hadn’t been on the provisions list they needed when they left camp. Seemed like an obvious oversight now. He would remember that if he ever found himself on a transatlantic ship to the Mother Sea again.

From the depths of the ship, he heard Piper shout “LEO!” followed by a loud bang and a stream of Spanish that Jason didn’t quite understand, but he didn’t have to know the language to know the meaning. He huffed a little, smiling at the obnoxious laughter that covered up whatever else Leo was saying. Yeah, it was fine.

He stepped back into his room and made his way to the window, absentmindedly squishing the wax. They were nearing land of some sort, but he wasn’t really sure where—their nautical navigator was otherwise occupied at the moment, so their positioning was questionable at best. He only really knew that they were nearing land because of the fog rolling out toward the Argo II. It wasn’t like that on the open ocean.

The open ocean also didn’t have sharp talons of dark rock sticking straight out of the water, hidden by said fog. A dark triangle about his height jutted up from the waves only fifteen yards from his window. His throat suddenly felt a lot drier than it should have, surrounded by all this humidity. It was probably just paranoia from all the everything happening, but it felt like that rock was staring at him through the window. Lurking. Waiting.

“Jason!” He whipped around, forgetting about the menacing rock almost immediately. That was… That hadn’t been Nico’s voice, it couldn’t have been. Jason had only heard him speak louder than a murmur once, and that had been a very stressful situation for the both of them. It was also pretty unlikely that Nico would call for him, specifically—if he wanted anyone on the Argo II right now, it would have been Hazel. He took a step forward without really thinking about it. Nico had a distinctive voice, scratchy from disuse and lightly accented, even after years of living in the States. It was hard to replicate, he knew. He had once walked in on Leo and Piper having a contest to see who could say “blueberry muffins” in the most convincing Nico imitation.

“Jason! Please!”

He sounded scared. If that wasn’t Nico, someone on the ship was using their hidden talent in the worst way possible. Jason stumbled in his haste to get to the door, hanging off the frame and looking frantically down both ends of the hallway.

Nobody else was responding to the call. He didn’t even see anyone else looking. His breathing was coming too quickly, his heartbeat kicking like a rabbit. He forced himself to take a breath. He couldn’t be there for Nico if he couldn’t breathe.

“Nico? Where are you?”

“Jason!” The relief in his voice was audible, but he still sounded scared. “Up here! Come quick, I need—”

His call was cut off suddenly, changing into a mangled scream. Jason’s insides turned to ice. He was sprinting before he knew it, cursing how far his cabin was from the stairs that got him abovedeck. There wasn’t much that would pose a real threat to Nico, but he still wasn’t eating much, and the circles under his eyes had been a little darker for the past couple days—how had Jason left him alone on watch? Had no one else noticed how tired he looked, or did they just ignore it? He was halfway there, but he wasn’t going fast enough. He summoned a harsh breeze to help push. Nico was finally opening up to him, trusting him more. Their friendship had looked like it might actually be going somewhere. Oh gods, if anything happened to Nico because Jason was too careless or absentminded to give him the support he needed—

Something hit his back hard just as he got to the bottom of the stairs, sending him toppling over instead of up and out, where he needed to be. He let out a snarl and flipped around, fist already flying at whatever it was that was keeping him away from a potentially hurt Nico—

And he found Nico blocking his punch, gritting his teeth against the impact. He had caught his fist and was glaring at Jason, dark brows pulled together sharp enough to form wrinkles between them. Above them, Nico’s voice called out again, strangled and more afraid than Jason had ever heard it.

“Jason, save me! Please! Help!”

This had to be an impostor, he trusted that voice without question. It was hard to tell, though. It was a good impostor, one that paid attention to the little details. His lips were chapped, and the top one was curled enough to show his offset tooth. His hair was a little greasy and pulled back into a half-pony, like it usually was when Nico took to training. He even smelled like Nico, the floral deodorant he had stolen from Hazel mixed with teenage boy and something that reminded Jason of cold.

There was a muffled scream above him, snapping Jason out of it. Nico needed him. The real Nico. He shoved hard at the impostor, but he was on his back on the stairs—not the best angle. He would have to fight dirty for this.

The impostor shoved him back and jammed his bony knee into Jason’s chest hard enough that it would probably bruise. Both of his hands scrabbled at Jason’s fist, prying his fingers open. Jason tried to buck him off, but he put more weight behind his knee. Jason could see his mouth moving, but the blood rushing through his ears drown out whatever he might be saying.

He clawed something out of Jason’s fist and shoved it in front of his face, panting for breath. It was a lump of wax. Jason had forgotten he was holding that.

The implication washed over him like an ice bath. Nico’s voice called to him from above again, but he was already reaching out for the wax, watching his hand shake. He fumbled with the wax badly enough that Nico took it from him, less frantic now. His knee had let up some of the pressure, but there was still enough weight behind it to keep him down. Jason couldn’t take his eyes off of his face, the flush in his cheeks from the brief fight. It hadn’t been anger on his face when he tackled Jason—he tackled Jason, tackled him to save him from his own stupidity—it had been concern. He had been concerned for Jason.

Nico handed him two lumpy and lopsided wedges, but they would work. Jason took them, shoved one into his ear.

“Jason, please!” The voice above grew in desperation, becoming almost breathy, tinged with something else. Longing? Jason jolted on instinct, whipping his head to the square of cloudy sky he could see above them. What if this Nico actually was an impostor?

“Jason, I—”

Wherever that sentence was leading was cut off suddenly. His head felt weirdly floaty, the pressure inside it stopped up by wax. Jason looked back at Nico, practically in his lap, one hand right next to his left ear. He must have shoved the other wedge in there himself. His dark eyes were wide and locked on Jason, his chest rising and falling shakily. Jason was helpless to do anything but stare up at him, pressed up against the stairs. He realized his hands were still shaking. The rest of him might have been, as well.

Sirens. He knew they were a danger, he knew they were entering siren territory. He hadn’t thought they would get there that soon.

Nico pulled his hands away from Jason’s face slowly, palms out like he was trying to calm Jason down. He made the “okay” symbol with one hand, dipping his head in question, eyes still locked on Jason’s.

Jason took a moment to consider. He still felt the pull from above, even though he knew now that it had been the sirens calling him. Their magic had been stronger than he was prepared for. Weren’t they supposed to sing, anyway? He swallowed once, hoping some of the residual panic would go with it. He nodded.

Nico took his knee off of Jason’s chest and stood at the foot of the stair. He held his hand out to Jason.

The song of a siren sounded like whatever would get their victim off the boat and into their clutches the soonest. Nico’s eyes were darker than anything else Jason had ever seen, and they still looked concerned, under the eye bags and the tense atmosphere. They were beautiful. Objectively. Jason reached out and took the hand Nico was offering, hoping that if his palm was clammy, the other boy would assume that it was from the siren experience.

Maybe it was from the sirens. He gave a shaky smile to Nico, mouthed “thanks”. Nico looked down and nodded, then jerked his thumb toward his own cabin and gave Jason a wave. It was clear that he didn’t expect to be followed. That was probably a good thing, Jason needed a little time alone.

The sirens knew that he would respond to Nico’s call above anything else in the world. He hadn’t even known that himself. His door was still open at the other end of the hall, and he made his way to it without really paying attention to his surroundings. Above Piper and Leo, who he considered his best friends. He had known the two of them better than anyone else on the ship. Above Frank and Hazel, who shared a home with him, who told him stories about New Rome that made him feel a step closer to remembering the missing pieces of himself. Above Coach Hedge, who was without a doubt the most helpless person on the ship—the one who would actually plausibly be in danger if left alone. (That one wasn’t much of a surprise, but still.)

That last call hadn’t even been a call for help. Sure, it could have been—”Jason, I” could have ended many different ways—but Jason knew where it was going. Jason knew what the sirens were tempting him with, and the knowledge left him feeling as if everything in his head and his chest had been moved two inches to the left.

He finally got to his door, stared inside. The window stared back at him from the far wall. The rock spire was gone, and all he could see outside was fog over the water.

He was a little in love with Nico di Angelo. What a way to find out.

Alrighty so since I’m bored let’s talk about a single dads au lmao:

The PJO/HoO boys have one of those dad groups where dads just get together while their kids play together and they just hang out and talk shit and drink juice boxes

Meet the ‘Hot Single Dads’ group:

Percy Jackson: the laidback and relaxed dad who the other dads sort of look to for advice because he seems to know what the fuck he’s doing. Juniper calls him a living miracle because he can get any screaming child to calm down in minutes. Has an eight year old son named Theo with an ex college girlfriend. Pining hard after Jason. Coaches his son’s swim team. Moms (and dads) love him. Teachers have a love hate relationship with him

Grover Underwood: the Epitome of the Stay At Home Dad. He’s got all the healthy snacks and a first aid kit on him at all times. Panics when his kid eats sand. Father to Willow (9), Nova (6), and Ash (2). Husband to Juniper. Allowed in the Hot Single Dads group because he’s Percy’s best friend since middle school and he’s got a lot of common sense and he’s great with kids. He’s also the one who tries to plan out meeting days around everyone’s busy schedules. Grover is the king of diy and crafts, and all the kids love him. All the neighborhood kids make Grover flower crowns during the summer and he'll wear them as long as he can before adding it to the collection of crafts kids have made him in his room

Frank Zhang: a nervous new dad fresh out of college who asks a lot of questions and has a lot of concerns. Has a four month old daughter named Anya with his best friend and ex-girlfriend Hazel. They met in high school and were best friends but didn’t date until college. But soon after realized they were better off as friends. Doesn’t go anywhere without Anya strapped to his chest. Works as a firefighter with Percy.

Nico di Angelo: not a dad yet because he’s in the process of adopting but hangs out with the group for advice and tips. The kids love him because he’s like their fun uncle. Accidentally got roped into babysitting Theo for a night once and realized he’s actually really great with kids and decided he wanted to adopt.

Leo Valdez: the dad who just does not give a fuck and also the fun dad. His kids eating a Cheeto they found in the sand? Shit happens. His twin boys, Mieczysław and Salvador (7), are menaces. Doesn’t like to show it but is constantly stressed out and worries that he’s not enough for his boys and wonders if he’s doing the right thing. He’s that one crazy wild friend from college you’re shocked to find out years later that they have a child. Leo is the one who introduces Jason to the group.

Jason Grace: new to the group as a newly single dad who’s worried he’s not enough. Has an eight year old son and a five year old daughter. Pining hard after Percy. Coaches his son’s baseball team. Moms (and dads) also love him. PTA Dad. The Mom™ friend turned Dad. Always has snacks, wet wipes, and hand sanitizer on hand. If you need anything, anything at all, there’s a 98% chance that Jason has it on hand. Shares joint-custody with his ex-wife and best friend Piper.

After his divorce from his ex-wife, Leo tells Jason about this Dad Support Group he’s in and that he should accompany him to their next meeting with the kids

Jason is skeptical at first but decides what’s the harm in going to one meeting

He wasn’t expecting to fall hopelessly in love at first sight with one of the other dads

“It’s Percy isn’t it? Can’t say I blame you. He’s got the looks of a Greek God.”

Leo teases him immensely for it and gives Jason a knowing look every time he catches him looking at Percy

Percy is a Terrible flirt

“So you coach your son’s baseball team? That’s great! Theo loves baseball.” “Dad I hate baseball.”

Grover likes to tease Percy for it but Percy reminds him that it took him two years just to gain the courage to hold Juniper’s hand

Aside from pining, Jason enjoys hanging out with the boys

He and Nico hit it off quite nicely. He also enjoys teasing Leo about his not-so-secret crush on Nico

He and Frank become workout buddies

Percy tried to join them on their workout days after Annabeth said he had the beginnings of a Dad Bod forming but between work, coaching Theo’s swim team and keeping up with his other long list of extracurricular activities, he just doesn’t have the time

He’s learning to embrace his Dad Bod

Grover has fully embraced the Dad Bod

Grover and Frank get along a lot because they’re both sorta nervous dads who worry about their kids a lot

And so Frank usually goes to Grover for all of his questions like “is this normal?” “She bumped her head is she okay?” “What can I do for this??”

And Grover gives him all sorts of advice and healthy snacks

Jason and Percy’s boys are competitive little buttwipes and are always getting into fights

“I bet I can run faster than you.” “I bet I can kick this ball farther than you.” “I bet I can swing higher than you.” “I bet I can study faster than you.”

Percy settles their arguments by getting in-between them, hauls his son over his shoulder, and brings him to the side and calmly talks to him in a low voice

Jason just watches like “Damn that shouldn’t have been that hot” before he realizes he probably should have a word with his son as well

Unfortunately for Jason he’s hopelessly in love and he’s like 99.9% sure Percy is dating Annabeth

Everyone thinks that Percy's in a relationship with Annabeth because they’re so close and she loves his kid

It also doesn’t help that Theo refers to Annabeth as ‘Mom’

So Jason just has to pine away and being the child he is, pulls at Percy's pigtails cause he can't deal with his crush

Frank decides to throw a fourth of July BBQ and Annabeth comes and Jason is trying to make conversation

Jason thinks he’s subtle but he’s not. 

“Your son Theo is a very charming boy, very polite. You must be very proud.” “Theo isn’t my son.” “Oh, I’m so sorry. Are you his step mom?” “No. Godmother.”

Annabeth laughs at Jason’s confused face and goes “If I was looking for a romantic partner maybe but nah. Percy and I are just best friends. I babysit Theo a lot.” (She’s hella ace and aro)

It’s obvious that he likes Percy

And Percy being Percy, he can't see it

One night like a month before the BBQ, he’s over at Annabeth's drinking and lamenting about this beautiful blond dad(dy) who Leo introduced to their Hot Single Dads group who's "literally captain America Annabeth, I swear I would go to war for that ass"

Annabeth recruits Reyna and Rachel to help her get these two idiots together

Side plot, Nico's surprisingly good with kids, especially Leo's twin terrors, and they get together cause the twins Conspire™ and Plot™ to do so

Cue many Hallmark movie shenanigans

Nico is one of the only one who’s can actually get the little devils to listen and behave. Leo is in awe and in love.

Leo gets asked about his sons’ names a lot

Leo: “Those two little demons playing on the monkey bars are mine. Mischief and Managed.” Frank: “...you named your sons Mischief and Managed?” Leo: “No, of course not. That’s just what they like to be called.”

Calypso is half Greek and half Polish and wanted to name Mieczysław after her grandfather. Unfortunately Mieczysław could never quite pronounce his name correctly so he goes by Mischief instead

Calypso also wanted to name Salvador after a character from Game of Thrones but Leo had to draw the line at Drogon. He already agreed to Mieczysław, he wasn’t naming his son Daenerys or Drogon

And since the twins are really into Harry Potter and Mieczysław goes by Mischief, Sal likes to go by Managed

Percy originally created Struggling Dads (Leo later changed the name to ‘Hot Single Dads Who Are Also Fortunately Not Heterosexual’) so his son could learn how to socialize and hopefully make some friends. He immediately regretted everything once he met Leo’s twin terrors

The children basically make up the Marauders irl

Franchise Retrospective: Friday the 13th Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday The Final Friday? We really gonna do that? Just like "The Final Chapter", right? Fuck outta here. Ok I'm probably gonna lose people here but this is my page so I get to say whatever I want which is "this film is a whole lotta fun". I mean yeah if you were waiting for a new Jason film and you got this I could see why you'd be disappointed but I didn't have to wait for it and actually I've been binging this entire series and after watching what feels like THE SAME GODDAMN MOVIE 8 times in a row this is a breath of fresh fucking air. Is it dumb? Hell yeah. Is it boring? Abso-fucking-lutely not and that's what I'm here for. This shit is straight bonkers and has one of the greatest openings of the whole series. Incredibly subversive and outside the box the films opens with a kick to the gut that firmly establishes the fact that this movie is going balls out. Guys, Jason is an established national menace. He's not some rumor or legend or local boogeyman confined to Crystal Lake, like there are fucking news stories about him and a fucking task force assigned to take him down! Yes, there is a crazy subplot where Jason is a weird slug that manages to jump bodies and that does rob us of our favorite hockey mask wearing zombie but the whole thing is kickstarted when the dude doing the autopsy EATS JASON'S FUCKING HEART! I can't stress this enough but after 8 films of the same thing I can't take another dumb young teenagers at camp get picked off one by one movie. Gimme this bonkers heart-eating bat shit craziness! Plus we get the badass Creighton Duke and a whole lotta dope gore fx. The F13 series has always been hacked to pieces by the MPAA and if you get a chance to watch the unrated cut of this film then you'll easily see the best splatter fx in the entire series. Is this a good film? No, but I hate to break it to you but none of the F13 series really are. What this is though is bat shit bonkers craziness which is a whole lot better than boring or formulaic or generic which frankly can't be said about some of the other sequels. So fuck it, I am 100% behind this batshit sequel. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AsvZqDff1/?igshid=1ubfcrz01lqld

Your wife is hot part 2 - Bruce Wayne x Reader

Summary : The Justice League is coming over at Wayne’s mansion for a barbecue...

Someone asked for a part two, so here’s a part two ...Hope you’ll enjoy :s. 

PART 1

____________________________________________________________________

You didn’t really expect the Leaguers to take you up on your barbecue offer...but they did. And this times, they were all here. Fortunately, Wayne mansion’s garden was massive. And with multiple trips to shops, Alfred you and your boys were able to bring enough food of all kind that it was all good. 

Except that you were stressed, yet again. So many superheroes in the same place, wasn’t it a bit of bad luck ? Like asking for a catastrophe to happen ? Oh my God, what if a major world threat arrived in your garden and started to destroy everything ?

You felt an arm go around your shoulder, and, instantly recognizing it, you wrapped your own arm around his waist. 

Bruce. Your Bruce. You snuggle into his side. 

-Are you nervous again ? 

-Is that this obvious ? 

-Only to me, I know you darling. 

You smiled to him and went on your tip toe to kiss him. Even on your tippy toes though, you were too short and he bent forward to meet your lips. Fucking giant man. 

-It’s going to be alright. They know they should leave you alone, they might be all more powerful than me physically, but they know better than to actually piss me off. You know, I got plans to take them down.

You laughed, and he smiled at you. He loved your laugh. 

-Alright mister I’m-smarter-than-everyone-and-I-always-have-a-plan, alright. I’ll try to relax, and if anyone bothers me, I’ll just point at you and take a menacing look. 

-Atta girl. 

You both laughed, and he squeezed you a bit closer to him. You two watched your sons help Alfred settings tables full of food and such as you waited for your first guests. 

*********************

Of course, Flash arrived first. All of the flashes. The original, Jay Garrick, the current Flash, Barry Allen, and his sidekick (also best friends with your eldest son), Wally West, aka Kid Flash. 

You hugged Wally, he was a lot around the mansion. And you shook Jay’s and Barry’s hand. The latter was avoiding your gaze, remembering the punch he received from your husband, and you gave a scolding look to Bruce. He just shrugged and gave you the “bat smirk”. You couldn’t help but smile too. Especially since, once again, you felt Barry shiver as you shook his hand. 

Slowly but surely, all of the leaguers arrived...it was time. 

*********************

You thought your organization of the barbecue wasn’t half bad. Everyone had food and drinks, and talked to each other, just happy to have a day off with friends without having to save the World and almost dying. You prayed nothing would happen today that required the Justice League assistance...

You met so many people that your head was starting to spin. You knew them all, and were quite proud when you could call all of them by their given names. They all had heard of you from the few leaguers who came to visit the mansion a few months ago, and were so damn curious. Especially since you were the one that made Batman jealous of Flash, going to the extent of him getting punch in the face by Bruce because he kept insisting on the fact that you were hot. 

It wasn’t as bad as you thought it was gonna be. Your husband did gave the “bat glare” to a lot of his partners, both men and women, because they had “the spark” in their eyes when they looked at you, but it was fine, because none of them actually dared to flirt the slightest bit with you. But your natural aura was shining so brightly that a lot couldn’t help but have “the spark”. 

It had been like that all your life, and you were used to it. Even though you probably would never be too fond of the attention. You never wanted to be the center of attention, or to be envied because you often were. You just wanted to be you. But no matter what, it seemed people just wanted to talk to you, to be around you. You were so damn likable. And though you weren’t the most beautiful women in the World, hell, the most beautiful women present at this barbecue, your charming ways were just freaking hot. 

But again, fearing the wrath of the Batman, even though most people here were more powerful than him, no one dared to say anything. They still asked questions about your relationship though, it was too interesting to pass on it.

You had told the story of your meeting with Bruce about ten times when your eldest son, Dick, went to your rescue. 

-I’m sorry everyone, I’d like my mom to meet my friends.

And without waiting for their response, he took you away. 

-Thank you honey. 

Dick smiled at you and gave you a knowing look. 

Your sons’ friends were all so sweet, you kinda wanted to adopt them all. You discovered you enjoyed their conversation even better than the one you had with adults, and they made you laugh quite a bit. They didn’t ask about you and Bruce, though you were pretty sure it was because your sons told them everything already. 

You thought it was extremely cute how Damian glared at some of his friends for looking at you with a bit too much insistence. He was like a tiny Bruce, cute cute cute. He made Conner (Superboy) and Kaldur (Aqualad) uneasy by staring at them until they’d quit looking at you. You didn’t say anything though, they were teenagers, their hormones were probably going haywire. You felt a bit awkward though when Shazam kinda hit on you...Because he looked like a grown man, but you knew he was just about Damian’s age, and it made you feel highly uncomfortable. Your youngest son punched him in the face (not really hurting him) and warned him to never EVER flirt again with you...You didn’t know if you should thanks your son because really, it was awfully cute how he protected you while his father was elsewhere, or if you should explain to him that hitting someone right in the face wasn’t exactly a good way to resolve conflict...You were about to say something but Dick was faster. He praised Damian for wanting to protect you, adding that you were perfectly able to defend yourself, and also scolded him for the punch. Perfect. A rush of pride washed over you as you looked at your sons talking, taking care of each other, and teaching lessons to one another...And it didn’t even turn into a full on war as Tim and Jason joined. Win. Such a win. 

At some point, Bruce came to take you away from the kids, and you went to sit down with him, Clark, Diana and J’onn at a table to eat a bit. The day was going pretty well...

You couldn’t remember who suggested it. Maybe one of the Young Justice kids ? Or was it Flash ? You didn’t know, but what you knew, is that you were in front of Arthur Curry (Aquaman), bat in hand, ready to hit the ball he was gonna throw to you, and run home. 

Baseball. You guys decided to play baseball. Of course, there was too many people, and some were forbidden to play anyway (like all of the Flash, they wouldn’t resist running fast around the field) because of their powers. And somehow, you found yourself in one of the teams. 

You shredded them. Destroyed them. Surprised all of them by your catching and batting skills. Whenever someone from the other team had a good hit, you’d get them out of the game either by catching the ball before it hit the ground, eliminating them right away, or either by throwing the ball to one of your teammates so fast that they’d touch the “enemy” before he or she could reach a base. And when you had a bat in hand, you only hit home runs. You were good. 

Bruce knew you were a boss at baseball, but of course didn’t tell anyone. He liked showing you off. Making others jealous because you were his. 

Flash was standing next to him, mouth opened, and Bruce couldn’t help but smile. He disliked the way Barry was staring at you, but it kinda felt good to know he didn’t stand a chance...Yeah,  maybe sometimes Bruce was a little bit of a prick. 

The game was over, and your team won, by far. Everyone cheered you, and congratulated Batman for being so lucky. He just smirked, and glared some more at some of his friends. And then you facepalmed, because of course Flash wasn’t going to stay quiet. As you came towards him and Bruce (and some others) that were standing on the side of your makeshift baseball field, not far from the swimming pool, you saw Bruce’s face drop. You never knew what Barry said, all you saw was Bruce preparing a mighty punch for the Flash...

*********************

A few seconds earlier : 

Barry Allen was never the kind of man to learn from his mistakes...Or rather, sometimes he forgot he already made a mistake, and so would do it again without really thinking. Like right now. 

-Wow, that was impressive. She’s good.

-I know. 

-Ok but Bruce, let’s all be honest for a second here. 

Bruce Looked at Flash suspiciously. He kinda felt like he knew what was gonna happen. With a serious look on his face, Barry got in trouble : 

-If you don’t want us to say your wife is hot, then maybe don’t let her do that kind of things. Cause seeing her win that game like that...that was damn hot. 

Long after, The Justice League would talk about that time they went to eat a barbecue at Batman’s house, and the Flash got hit so hard in the guts he fell in the pool with his clothes still on.

The apps have changed again.

It wouldn’t surprise us if you were so caught up in picking the best foods to eat at your Fourth of July party that you lost track of the new apps and updates this week. If that’s the case, there’s no need to worry. We’ve got you covered.

Each week we round up the most important app news along with some of the coolest new and updated apps to help you stay on top of it all. Here’s what caught our eye this week. And if you’re looking for more, be sure to take a look at last week’s roundup.

Enlight Photofox

Introducing #EnlightPhotofox. Here to amaze you with the #art you’ll create on #iPhone. Get now for free: https://t.co/stO6UsD3gg http://pic.twitter.com/Y7mYRaWzcp

Enlight Photofox (@EnlightPhotofox) July 6, 2017

Everyone wants their photos to be the coolest on the feed. But it’s not always easy to get the look you want with the relatively small array of free options provided on each form of social media. Enlight Photofox is a premium photo editing app, and it’s free! The brand has taken on the idea of making the app free and including features anyone can purchase within it.

If you really want to be serious about your photo editing, you might just want to buck up and shell out. Any subscriber who spends at least $3.99 a month, $19.99 a year, or $39.99 up front will have access to all of Enlight’s features. The optional subscription lets you add photoshop-style layers and graphic elements to your photos.

You can also dive into the “Darkroom”, a subscription-only mode with more filters and the ability to change tonal parameters. So give Enlight Photofox a shot if you’re trying to become the top dog on the photo feed.

Google Earth

New (and fuzzy) on @googleearth: live Alaskan Brown Bear cams from @exploreorg! We can bearly wait to spot one! https://t.co/iVGrcVkozF http://pic.twitter.com/09HxsvCrnh

Google (@Google) July 5, 2017

Google Earth just graced the world with something we didn’t know we needed. But now that it’s here, we can never go back. This beautiful addition to Google Earth is the live stream of dozens of environments.

The app gives you a realtime, up-close look at some of your favorite habitats. You can watch lazy walruses in Alaska or swimming sharks in the Atlantic Ocean. And you can’t forget the brown bears of Katmai National Park fishing during the salmon rush.

Whichever habitat you like best, check it out on Google Earth. Even if you’re not a huge animal buff, the natural ebb and flow of these environments running continuously on your screen is quite soothing.

Pokmon Go Anniversary

Pokmon Go: The game the world will never forget for making police departments and MTA workers post signs reminding people the world around them still exists IRL. It turned one year old this week.

To celebrate, players can wear Ash Ketchum’s hat to catch special Pikachus from now until July 24. There are also discount anniversary boxes with raid passes, ultra balls, max revives, and incubators. But that’s not all.

A number of cities will be hosting anniversary events. One in particular is Pokmon Go Fest at Chicago’s Grant Park on July 22. There will be new Pokmon that have never appeared in the park before, a new medal to add to your profile page, and of course three team lounges so you can relax with your fellow Insinct, Mystic, or Valor mates.

Be sure to check if your city is hosting an event, get out there, and keep collecting!

Elsewhere

You’ll have your choice of aircraft designs to zip through the 3D skies, for everything from leisure flights to rescue missions. The realistic flight physics, on-screen controls, and sound effects will really get you into the game. So hop in the cockpit and take off!

Turn one picture into three for your Instagram feed.

Panoramic pictures are fun and easy to create on your smartphone, and they provide a way to capture a huge portion of the space around you. But when you try to post your creations on Instagram, they either appear so small that you can’t really see what’s in the photo, or part of your cool view ends up getting cut off.

Unsquared, a free app, is here to take the stress out of posting panoramas. You just choose how many pieces you want your photo to be split into, do some cropping, and post away! It’s super easy and it’ll make you look like a professional on Instagram.

Gun down hordes of zombies from the safety of a military gunship.

Building on the successes of the original game, Zombie Gunship Survival, a free app,introduces more hooks such as base-building to keep you invested in fending off the imminent apocalypse.

Keep all your travel plans together in one place.

Frequent travelers, this one’s for you. The free HelloGbye app helps you stay organized before, during, and after your trips. You can schedule travel plans, make changes to your itinerary, keep all your confirmation details in one place, manage budgets for solo and group trips, and take advantage of the app’s built-in search features to weed out less popular picks.

Paying subscribers enjoy additional benefits, including preferred hotel rates, no booking fees, and cash back on hotel stays.

Spice up your messaging apps.

Image: sticky ai/itunes

Last but not least is Sticky AI! It’s all about selfie stickers purely to add a little bit of fun to your messaging apps. You can use the app to make animated or still stickers. Then save the brightly colored comic or cartoon-style designs to your sticker pack to use in the future. Download Sticky AI and start having a little more fun with your social networks.

That’s all we’ve got for this week. But be sure to check back next week for all of your app-related updates.
