Yayyy...I did my able/abel design for my tadc au....
It doesn't look fully like how I wanted ;)...*cries*
Tumblr media
Also he has eyeshadow so haha caine
Tumblr media
I wanted to make him a bit original,So you know that one abel/abel design by sm-baby (I think)? But instead of multiple cards it's one black heart card with his yellow/amber eye next to it :3
And also decided to give him an ōpàn I think its called ? And have his other eye on one of them and make it green :D,and of course the classic suit that all tadc fans decided that able has,✨ The Blue shirt ✨
And here's his little sidekick/assistant creato !!!
Tumblr media
It uses any Prounouns but mainly IT/THEY !
They a tiny sea creature thingy,and they're mute !!!!
Tumblr media
Unlike bubble who is a (loveable) menace,Creato is innocent !! (Kinda) ,just wake the lil baby up from a nap and they'll hold grudges against you
Pretty much a top reason on why able is so Fatherly towards it and so damn protective (jax,don't you dare even try and prank creato..you don't wanna be on able's bad side trust me...)
Also I finally redesigned Caine and I actually like the design

I could write an entire essay (and perhaps one day I will) on how 'Furiosa' is Gothic fiction, a Gothic romance in particular, but I just need to talk about one key aspect of the relationship between Furiosa and Jack for a minute. A lot of discussion surrounding them has been about the nature of their relationship. Most people seem to love the ambiguity, myself included, and I think looking at it through a Gothic romance lens can help us understand why it works so well.
Most Gothic romances feature a heroine who is trapped inside a literal and/or figurative domestic space by a domineering man, typically a father or husband. Poor Furiosa gets both. Dementus imprisons her in the role of daughter. Immortan Joe imprisons her in the role of wife. These are restrictive domestic roles which have been forced upon her and which she cannot freely walk away from. Gothic romance is at its best when it is exposing and critiquing the cruelty of a patriarchal society and the unfair limitations it places upon women.
Furiosa evades attention by disguising herself as a boy. When Jack realises she is actually a woman, and that she is determined to leave the Wasteland, he immediately offers to help her get to wherever she needs to go. No questions asked. And what does Jack expect in return? Absolutely nothing. The trope of a good man, with experience, skill, and social standing, selflessly assisting the heroine, is quite common in Gothic romance.
Jack's words to Furiosa are never paternalistic. They speak to one another as equals. Dementus wanted to shape Furiosa in his own image, but Jack only wants to pass on what he knows. He doesn't want her to stay his protégé or sidekick. He wants her to be able to take care of herself. Until she asks him to come with her, he has every intention of letting her go her own way, leaving him behind.
Jack never comments on Furiosa's appearance. They dress as equals. Immortan Joe put Furiosa in delicate fabrics and planned to use her body for his own selfish desires, but Jack only ever touches Furiosa for her own sake. He doesn't want to possess her. He wants to protect her. He cleans and stitches up her wounds. He will place a comforting hand on her shoulder, only for as long as it takes for her to relax beneath his touch.
It's important to remember that this is a thematic tale being told to us by a History Man, a framing device which is extremely befitting of the Gothic genre. Within this legend, Jack and Furiosa's disregard for clearly defined domestic roles draws a stark contrast to the priorities of Dementus and Immortan Joe. It serves to highlight that their dynamic is free from patriarchal dominance. Whether their relationship is sexual or platonic, romantic or familial, is irrelevent. What matters is that their relationship is based upon genuine concern, deep respect, and unwavering trust. This is the lesson of their story, and it is a lesson for all to the hear. Jack does not merely represent a good father or a good husband or a good mentor. He represents it all. His character is fluid and multi-dimensional. His relationship with Furiosa is ever-shifting and all-encompassing. This allows him to be a role model to all men. But I digress from talking about Gothic fiction!
True domestic happiness for the Gothic romance heroine is only possible once she finds a companion who treats her as a peer; a social equal who gives her the freedom to choose and define the role she wishes to have in his life. It also requires finding or creating a refuge in which the heroine is safe from male power and violence. Furiosa found a more than worthy partner in Jack. Unfortunately, they didn't succeed in reaching freedom together.
Perhaps, in a less Gothic setting than the Wasteland, putting a name to what they were wouldn't have mattered so much. As it was, "my Jack" and "my Fury" was enough.

I don’t know how to ask you this bestie 😩… But if you write incest do you mind doing one where all might’s daughter has a crush on Endeavor? And they both smash her… Feel free to make it stepcest if that’s more comfortable 🥲
DON’T BESTIE ME YOU FREAK!!!!-
Anyways, congrats on being my FIRST controversial ask. That being said, it took me a while to figure out whether or not I would write this one 🤔. Of course, this will be one of the ones I won’t be able to post on Wattpad lmao, but I’ll give it a go!
If you didn’t already read the request, I will give you the necessary warnings again.
tw: incest….. never thought this day would come, dp
Author's annual moral PSA: I would hope I wouldn't have to tell yall I don't condone this irl. This is both illegal in many states, and in all ways an abuse of power and trust. Not to mention no one should look at their family members in this way and if it has happened to you don't be ashamed of it as it is not your fault but seek help because it is dangerous in the long run. This is for pure fantasy purposes
You are not underage in this fic. I never do underaged work.
There is way too much plot in this
Your cheeks were stretched wide enough to rival your fathers’ as you ran home. Your feet bounce and your pull at your braids nervously as you look out the window of the train, the excitement you felt made you restless to get home. Your neighbors watched you as you ran by, dents caused by your shoes hitting the pavement as your quirk flowed through your pumping blood. “Dad!”
You slam your front door open and scramble through the labyrinth of your rich home. Tossing open your father’s office door unaware of how your outburst startles All Might. “Y-Yes what is it?” Papers flutter all around as you carelessly glide through Toshinori’s neatly stacked papers. You slam the slightly crumpled papers onto his desk, ignoring how the sheer strength of your hand nearly causes his cold cup of coffee to fall. “Remember how 3rd years get the chance to have the first pick in finding the company they’ll sidekick for?!”
All Might watches you with fondness in his eyes as he cleans his glasses off. He was now far in his years, a healthy 82. His hair was now less of a golden yellow and more of beige as it silvered slowly. He was still his normal towering height, retained much of his muscles, and could periodically assume his big form now that he finally had the time to rest and heal properly. “You mean the program that you talked about every day because it was free.”
You roll your eyes, “Free for me, not for you. Anyways look, look, look!” You hold the paper in his face and he takes it from you, “I see you were accepted into your first choice at-” You snatch the paper from him and hop around excitedly, “-At Endevā Jimusho And that’s not even the best part!” All Might's contempt face drops, “All sidekicks get to stay in a guest house in close quarters with Endeavor himself!!"
Joy no longer existed in Toshinori's emotional library. "Absolutely not." Your face falls and your rant halts completely. "What?" Yagi puts his glasses on and shuffles through his papers stiffly, "I do not agree on Endeavors training methods." You raise an eyebrow, "Is this coming from the man that punched Pro-Hero Dynamite and Deku into buildings during an emergency villain drill? In front of everyone?"
Yagi hides his face behind a stapled packet, "I was giving them a taste of reality, a villain does not care for a hero's well-being." You sit down on his desk, legs crossed before curling your finger over his paper, your eyes miss how AllMight briefly glances down, “Yes, but isn’t it a job as a hero to protect people, even the students they train?” Yagi craned his neck until it makes a satisfying crack, a smirk adorning his lips. “I suppose you are right.”
He thinks for a moment before silently shuffling his papers before returning his gaze to your hopeful face, “Why should I assist you with your obvious little crush on my coworker?” You clearly stiffen “Well if it will make you happy-” You don’t allow him to finish before your arms around his shoulders squeezing his neck with most of your strength.
AllMight watches you leave his room slightly disheartened, reaching into his desk drawer he pulls out his phone and dials. “What do you want?” AllMight leans back in his chair pulling at his pants to loosen the tension in his groin, “A proposition.”
The next day Yagi is driving you to your new home for the next 6 months. Your eyes glaze over with futuristic thoughts on how your stay would be. “Everything is so shiny!” Yagi shrugs as he pulls into the parking lot. Enji was always minimalistic when it came to modern designs.” Your head snaps to Toshinori’s side of the car, “His name is Enji!?” Your question is laughed off as Toshinori shuts the car off.
Although your amazement is captured solely by the prospect of working with a pro-hero, the fact that your father is a pro-hero does not go unnoticed by the people around you. “Is that AllMight!” “Should I ask for his picture?!” Even with Yagi’s shadow enveloping your body your attention hones in on the automatic glass doors in front of you.
Inside there is a crowd of students experiencing orientation and getting assigned their respective dorm and possible roommate. You take your first steps in their direction before your arm is pulled and Yagi dawns a playful grin as he presses his finger to his lips. You follow him, eyebrows furrowed “You aren’t trying to change my mind are you?” You don’t get an answer as you are dragged along.
Stairs after stair you follow your father until you come to the very top, legs throbbing but interest peaked. Yagi opens two double doors as easily as breathing and your eyes go wide as the broad shoulders of a familiar hero come into view. “You’re finally here, took you long enough.” Your heart beats in your chest, auburn hair, broad shoulders, and a stoic face that you’d only seen on television, now present in front of you. Yagi shuts the door causing you to jump, “Oh um hi!” A large hand touches your shoulder making you jump” Calm down Y/n!” A cheerful exclamation rings out from above you as Yagi transforms into his larger form.
Heavy footsteps make the room shake wherever the two men walk around the room, “I heard you wanted to meet with me.” Your demeanor goes from uneasy to panicked giggling, “O-Oh really, who told you that!’ AllMight chuckles before patting your head, why don’t you ask him all the silly questions you want, I have to use the restroom.
Endeavor leans against his desk, arms crossed allowing his muscles to bulge through his white button-up shirt. “Yagi tells me a lot of good things about you.” Endeavor stands straighter, a ballpoint pen in hand before he gestures for you to take a seat. You settle in the seat glancing towards the door before looking up at Endeavor who settles on his desk. “What’s the matter, you seem nervous?” The deepness of his tone sends a shiver down your spine. Shifting your legs closer together you clear your throat, “I’m just not used to meeting my childhood hero in person.” Endeavor laughs in a way that sounds more like a bellow, “When you say it like that I feel old!”
Your face hadn’t stopped burning since you entered the room but the joke forced a chuckle through your lips allowing you to relax just a little bit. Calculating eyes narrow, making you feel even smaller than you already did in the hero’s presence. “Now, come on. I’m sure you have something you’d always wanted to do if you met your hero.” Endeavor’s happy-go-lucky attitude catches you off guard as it juxtaposes the hardened persona he had cultivated over the years. “Well, I suppose a picture would be a start if you don’t mind?”
Seconds later you somehow find yourself in Endeavor's lap as he holds the camera up for a picture. His body is unpainted hot but you assume that was simply just a side effect of his quirk. “Um, are you sure you’re okay with this?” Endeavor hums in acceptance. A heavy arm loops around your waist pulling you closer, close enough to become aware of a problem pressed gently against your ass. “Oh!” Endeavor’s fingers slipped pressing the capture button, “What’s wrong did I do it wrong?” You shake your head becoming embarrassed for the both of you, “Nothing!” Enji’s voice lowers into a mumble that reverberated against the back of your neck, “Good.”
Enji straightens his arm once more to retake the picture and you awkwardly smile into the camera, grin becoming strained when he had yet to snap the photo. You shuffle the slightest bit to get a more comfortable position and a guttural groan is released from Enji’s lips. "Are you alright, Endeavor?" Your question is ignored and your phone is put down on the table. Large hands contrasting unbridled power is your stomach delicately as though you were made of porcelain. "Are you sure there is nothing else you'd like to do with your hero?"
Endeavors face nudges away your braids allowing him to press his heated mouth against your skin. "Nothing that would help you get to know them better?" You don't get to respond, your body is hoisted around to face Endeavor. Why nervousness clearly painting itself on your features before being overcome with confused pleasure as Endeavor pressed his lips against your own.
You moan against his lips, hips grinding against each other, the thought of where you are slipped past your mind and to your pussy. Endeavors hands down your body, pinching and pulling before sighing with his calloused fingernails. You couldn't believe this was happening, you feel your pants being pulled off. Just yesterday you believed that you would only be able to meet your hero in passing. Your bra is on the floor and your pussy weeps against his slacks.
The motions are fast-paced and you feel his thumb pressing against your clit. “Yes!” Endeavor kisses your lips, his stubble scratching your cheeks slightly as his tongue explores your mouth. Confidence floods your body as you hop off of Endeavor's lap and quickly undo the buttons of his slacks, he watches you out of breath in the best way.
Thick in your hands, the veins twitch to the tune of his blood. The clear stickiness of pre-cum coats the underside and you use it to stroke his length. "Please fuck me Endeavor!" You look up at him, face contorted with desperate thoughts as you angle your body towards his cock, the tip of it rubbing against your folds. You were wet, so wet making the fuchsia tip of his cock feel more engorged.
"Don't regret this. "You’re pulled back into his lap with ease, pussy trembling from the display of strength. With Endeavor holding your weight and your hand positioning his length below you, the slide down was easy as it could be. Your legs wrap around his waist as you adjust to him. “We have to be quick.” Endeavor rolls your hips when your breathing becomes even again, “We have all the time in the world.” You smirk trailing your finger up Enji’s chest, “What, you have a thing for getting caught?”
Your cheeks are spread apart by Endeavor’s fingers as he hooks one into the small slit left remaining in your pussy. “Something like that.” From behind you the sound of the door shutting makes your neck quickly craned around to look back. Standing with his arms behind his back and an unreadable expression stood Yagi, “Am I missing the party?” Ashamed excuses leave your mouth, tearful and panicked you squeal when Endeavor raises your hips before sliding you down his cock. “No, you are just in time.”
Yagi slowly removes the suit he wore, shrugging off his suit jacket as the sound of your muffled whimpers filter through his ears. You hide your face, curling into Endeavor’s form but a hand stops you, gripping your face, “Don’t be shy, it was his idea after all.” AllMight chuckled, “Yeah, it took a lot of convincing on my part.”Long fingers wrapped around the base of your skull where your braids connect before yanking your head back.
Toshinori looked down at you, face stoic and mockingly disappointed, "I thought it would take a lot more convincing but look at you. " Yagi dragged the back of his hand around your jaw and down your chest ripping the fabric with ease. Your tits bounced on every thrust that Endeavor continued to make, wordless moans and drool leaving your moan as your pussy clenched around the cock inside you.
"Such a little whore for him aren't you?" You shake your head in protest before your eyes widen as chapped but soft lips are placed over yours. He was kissing you, your brain short circuits as his tongue forces its way past your lips. It's wrong, you know that. Hell, this whole situation is wrong. You should be downstairs with the others doing orientation, not upstairs riding the cock of a pro-hero and french kissing the other. You knew it was wrong, but why did it feel so good?
Endeavor groans at how sloppy you were becoming. The sound of your pussy squelching as cream gathered around Endeavor's cock before being pushed back inside of you. "So both of you are twisted in the head." A large thumb presses down on your clit making your pussy spasm as you cum from the heightened stimulation. Endeavor keeps thrusting, his libido unmatched and energy pent up.
Yagi reaches in between the two of you pressing his palm against your pussy as his fingertips graze Enji’s dick on every upstroke. “Are you getting wetter sweetheart? He feels so good doesn't he?" Your mouth is agape and your weak hands Endeavor's shoulder is the only thing keeping you upright when your eyes roll back. "Y-Yes daddy!" Yagi wheezes before he's fiddling with his suit pants and pulling you back by your hair.
It was a strange display of balance on your end. Endeavor’s arms hold your legs tightly in order to keep you on his lap and on his cock meanwhile you are as your father slaps his hardened cock against your cheek, splashing his precum onto your chin. "I got you this far dear, why don't you return the favor?"
Whether it was diluted senses or your subconscious coming forward, you open your mouth for him, moaning as he invades every crevice of your jaw. Your throat constricts and you retch around the warm heat. Yagi is unapologetic and downright brutal as he pulls back before bringing his hips forward again.
The two men's moans empty into the office room and your garbled cooking is ignored as they both have their fill, leaving you to wonder if this really was for you. Numbness invaded your senses as you come again on Endeavor's cock with him not that far behind as he blows his load into your pussy. "It's been a while I will admit." Endeavor slaps your pussy once, then twice just to feel you squeeze down on him every time your hips jerked.
Tears and drool running down your face the faster your father fucks your throat and you knew you'd be sore the next day. "My turn." All Might pulls out and walks away not even showing you a glance as you choke from the lack of oxygen. Enji helps you sit up and wipes your face before Toshinori is pulling you away from Endeavor showing no care that his cock was still in you. He sits down and pulls you onto his own lap ignoring your dazed look as your brain struggles with the various changes of attitude.
"You gotta thank daddy for helping you meet your hero, don't you think?” His hand cups your round cheeks before the other slams down on the other one. Overestimated tears tremble down your brown skin as you hiccup, "Yes daddy." You rock against his cock, both your saliva and his own precum staining your stomach and public hair.
He fills you, even better than Endeavor did, and begins his onslaught of thrusts. You scream, the sound no doubt traveling outside the room, "Daddy please fuck me!!!" The speed at which you were moving was one that could only be done by a hero and it was more pain than pleasure. The constant pounding of your cervix makes your teeth clench together each time his mushroom head punches it.
"Yes, give daddy this sloppy pussy, squeeze down for me-oh fuck!" Lewd words you never even believed Yagi was capable of saying leave his lips. Your shoulder is bit by the redheaded man behind you as he cups your breasts together, tugging on your nipple before rubbing the nubbed patterns on your areolas. "I can't take it any more daddy please!" Your arms wrap around his shoulders as he causes your pussy to queen and cream, balls slapping the underside of your ass, sticky with Endeavor’s cum.
"This is what you raised Yagi? A little whore?" Yagi chuckles, "I'm just as surprised as you are Enji, say why don't you join? You aren't one and done are you?" Endeavor scoffs, you wish that upon me don't you?"
Your mind, altered with lust, does not understand the hidden meaning behind the word "join" but you soon realize it when fat fingers are pushing their way in the same hole Toshinori occupied. "E-Endeavor?" You're shushed as his fingers pump inside you with Yagi’s cock, curling and prodding your walls at every turn. You feel fuller than you ever thought you could and the pressure only continued.
"Look at my pretty little girl taking her daddy's cock, so fucking tight for me. Can you do this for Endeavor too? Fit both our fat cocks in your hero guzzling hole?" You nod at the degradation and feel the warmth from Endeavor envelope your back. His tip massages the stretched opening as Yagi stops thrusting for a moment.
There is silence, and then there is pain. You hardly feel the initial penetration of Enji’s cock, but you do feel it when Yagi tries to move again. You can hardly breathe between the sandwich the 3 of you created and your comfort is practically ignored as they both begin to move at opposite tempos. “O-oh god!” With your eyes screwed shut and mouth agape the two men grunt against your ears.
Your g-spot and cervix are both pushed against as their thrusts become more impersonal. Endeavor grabs your arms from around Yagi’s neck before pulling them behind your back. Your legs tremble uselessly around Toshinori’s thighs. His breath huffing the more he exerted himself steam easily slipping from his lips the faster he went. “I’m gonna cum!” Endeavor grunts, pistoning out of you even faster than he was before. A hand rests on his shoulder and he’s shoved back making you whimper from the partial emptiness. “Not inside bastard.”
Yagi becomes his gental self again as his still hard cock slips from your entrance. He places you on the ground giving you time to prop yourself up before grabiing his dick and stroking it infront of your face. You are to fucked out to do anything but present yourself as a pretty little canvas as his cum paints your face. You lick the small drops painting your chin before flashing a coy smile, “Thank you Daddy!”

My Hero Superman AU; Reign of the Multiversal Supermen by @itsupermanti, Part 4 Shazam; Earth’s Mightiest Mortal
Tumblr media
(Artwork by Asbwood on Pinterest)
Shazam(voiceover as he is shown flying over the ocean): My name is Denki “Kon-El” Kaminari-Midoriya, the second son of Superman and Wonder Woman. I am Shazam, Earth’s Mightiest Mortal!
Shazam(voiceover as we see that he is flying behind his father and brother along with): The man in a blue costume and red cape with an “s” on his chest is my father, Hisashi, Superman and the guy in a blue jacket and black pants with his own red cape and the same symbol is my genetic template, my brother Izuku.
Shazam(voiceover as we see Supreme and Hyperion flying alongside them): The guys with white and brown hair are Supreme and Hyperion respectively. They came from other Earths through portals created by a malfunctioning Motherbox.
We then see four aircraft following behind them. A glowing green spacecraft, a construct made and piloted by the Green Lantern Haruto and his daughter Momo, who are transporting Martian Manhunter, the an amazed Invincible and an astonished Utopian.
A jet black supersonic aircraft, the Batwing piloted by Batman, Enji Todoroki, co-piloted by the new Batman, Shouto Todoroki, with the second Robin, Kota Izumi Yaoyozoru-Todoroki, in one of the two passenger seats.
The final aircrafts are sleek, silver prototype aircrafts known as a Javelins, designed and commissioned by Principal Nezu to assist the Justice League as means of transportation. The first Javelin is Piloted by Wonder Woman, with Troy acting her mother’s Co-Pilot, transporting the remaining members of the Justice League, including their latest member All Might, as well as pro heroes Best Jeanist, Hawks, Kamui Woods, a starstruck Mount Lady, an annoyed Sir Nighteye, the Sentry, and the restrained Evil Supermen, Homelander and Paragon, and the cooperative Brandon Breyer(Brightburn) and Omniman.
The second Javelin is Piloted by former 1-A student, Mineta Minoru, and is being Co-Piloted by Green Arrow(Shinso), transporting Classes 1-A and 1-B, the young protege sidekicks Supergirl, Shazam Jr. and Teen Lantern, the UA Big Three, Mei Hatsume, a large majority of UA’s staff with Principal Nezu riding in Eraserhead’s scarf, and the Powerpuff Sisters.
Shazam(voiceover): We’re heading to I-Island to rendezvous with David and Melissa Shield, two of the brightest minds on Earth, before heading to Dad’s Fortress of Solitude. If any group of people are able to figure out what we’ll need to send these “supermen” back to their Earths, it’ll be them and Hatsume.
Meanwhile, in the hidden lab that once held Bizarro;
We see the scarred clone with a face full of annoyance as Dr Garaki is conducting tests on the clone in an attempt to understand why his powers were the opposite of Superman’s own.
Dr. Gariki(using his quirk to scan Bizarro): I don’t understand why BZ-AR0 ended up like this!
Bizarro(annoyed): Bizarro told you, ME NAME IS BIZARRO!!!
Chikara(while seated in a chair, letting his cybernetics fix the damage he sustained from Supergirl): Pardon him my friend, it appears that good doctor doesn’t like it when he doesn’t get the results he wants.
Dr. Garaki(turning to the cyborg): But the sample of blood used to create him came from the same batch the Meta Liberation Front used to grant you your new powers, so why aren’t yours reversed?
Chikara(raising his robotic right arm): Because of my cybernetics, and the fact that the blood and my ashes simply overwrote the host body’s own DNA.
Chikara(gesturing to Bizarro): Our friend here was grown from a pure sample of the alien’s blood, with the limited technology at your disposal, the cloning process was imperfect compared to when you created the Superboy’s siblings.
Dr. Garaki(heading towards another pod, containing a figure of a young teenager with no visible eyes and burned scars all over his face): Luckily, I have figured out how to properly clone “human” DNA.
Dr. Garaki(as the lump assumes a more human appearance of a teenage boy with long black hair and a scar running down his face from between his eyes and his left cheek): As well as preserving their quirks.
Dr. Garaki(grinning as the figure opens its eyes): Welcome back, Rokuro Nomura.
We then cut the members of the Justice League in their Javelin, with an amazed amount Lady smiling widely, drawing a curious look from fellow pro, Kamui Wood.
Kamui(with a raised brow): You’ve been beefing ever since we left UA, I’ve never seen this excited before, what’s up with you?
Mt Lady(turning to him): Because we’re running a co-op with the Justice League!
Mt Lady(turning to Wonder Woman): I idolized Superman and Wonder Woman when they first appeared, they were the ones who inspired me to become a hero!
Mt Lady(rubbing the back of her head sheepishly): I even met Superman up close when I was a kid, but I doubt he remembers it.
Inko hears the young pro’s last sentence, and sits up with a smirk.
Wonder Woman(addressing her daughter): Take over for a bit Mina, I just need to have a talk with one of our passengers.
Troy(nervously looking at her mother): Are you sure? We’ve only started my pilot training a few weeks ago.
Aquaman(sliding into Inko’s seat): Don’t worry, thanks to operating Atlantean vehicles I can help pilot.
Wonder Woman makes her way towards the pros, specifically Mount Lady.
Kamui(addressing Mount Lady): You really looked up to him, despite him being a vigilante?
Mt Lady(unaware of one of her ideals approaching her): Yeah, he was bigger than life, he didn’t just stop villains, he actually took the time to talk to people, inspire them.
Mt Lady(smiling fondly): He even inspired me, he told me that I could make a difference.
Wonder Woman(smiling fondly as she speaks up): And you did.
Wonder Woman(as Mt Lady turns to her in surprise): Yu Takeyama, right?
Yu(stunned that her idol knows her name): How?
Wonder Woman(amused): We DO remember you, we knew you very well.
Inko(removing her tiara and letting her hair and eyes turn green): And you knew us better then you realize.
Yu(shocked as she realizes who her idol was): Ms. Inko! You’re Wonder Woman?!
Kamui(confused): You recognize her?
Inko(explaining): My husband and I used to be her mentors when she worked at as a cub reporter for Musutafu news.
Inko(smiling with pride): She left when she got accepted into UA.
Yu(realization): Then that means…
Yu(eyes wide): Mr. Hisashi!
Inko(hand on Yu’s shoulder): He NEVER forgot those words you told him…
Flashback, 21 years ago;
Yu(young girl, conflicted as she addresses Superman after he had saved her life): You saved my life…
Superman(smiling at her as knees in front of her): Of course I did, everyone matters.
Yu(finding courage to confront her idol): But you held back, didn’t you?
Superman(shocked that she noticed): How?
Yu(pressing on): When that villain took me hostage and threw me off a roof, you rushed past him, knocked him out, and jumped after me.
Superman(confused): Of course I did.
Yu(continuing): But you caught up to me, and STOPPED before we hit the ground too hard.
Yu(as Superman’s eyes widen): You can fly, can’t you?
Superman(nodding nervously): Yes, I can.
Yu(confused): Then why don’t you?
Superman(sadly): Because quirks only ever give humans ONE power.
Yu(realizing): You’re afraid…
Superman(nodding): Yes…
Yu(continuing): You don’t want people to see you as not human.
Yu: Humans can punch, you punch harder. People can run, you run faster. People can jump, but you jump higher.
Yu(looking into her idol’s eyes): But you can do more, you can help people in ways no other pro can. You shouldn’t be afraid to show people who you are!
Yu(looking down): Not like me…
Yu(looking back up at a concerned Superman): I guess what I’m trying to say is…
End Flashback;
Yu(remembering the words she told Hisashi so long ago, with wide eyes): “I wish it was okay for you to fly”.
Inko(smiling fondly): He took those words to heart, and a week later when that plane suffered a blown engine…
Inko(as a younger Hisashi is shown running down the highway outside the city with his super-speed, before jumping into the air and flying like a bullet towards a falling plane): He flew.
Inko(voiceover as the young Hisashi uses his ice-breath to put out the burning engine, before guiding the plane down, and cutting the door open with his heat vision): He showed the world just what he was capable of.
Superman(flashback, smiling as he addresses the shocked passengers): I hope this doesn’t discourage any of you off flying. Statistically, it’s still one of the safest ways to travel.
Inko(as the young Superman is shown hovering in the air before the stunned civilians and pros who had arrived to help): He was afraid that people would be scared of him once they realized his powers made him stronger than everyone else.
Inko(as her younger self is shown in the crowd, smiling at Hisashi): But you gave him the push he needed to be himself.
Inko(as her younger self is seen stopping a robbery as Wonder Woman in her first costume, Tensei is shown evacuating people out of a burning building as the Flash, and Haruto is shown fighting off henchmen of the Meta Liberation Front as Green Lantern): And as a result, you inspired the rest of us.
Inko(as she smiles fondly at Yu): You HAVE made a difference, just by telling Hisashi your wish for the world to be more accepting.
Yu(confused): But Mr. Hisashi said that his quirk was Fire-Breath?
Inko(smirking): Oh that? You know how if you breath out hot air into an ice cube it melts? He just did that but with super-breath.
Yu(still stunned): So he hid his identity…
Yu(deadpan): With a pair of glasses?
Inko(grinning and keeping herself from laughing): The glasses helped keep people from realizing that his eyes were the same color as Superman’s, and his baggy clothes hid his muscles, and he also acted timid and clumsy while being hunched over.
Kamui(eyes wide): That actually worked?!
Nighteye(overhearing): Oh please, that can’t really be all he did.
Inko(grinning): He was just as shocked that no one ever noticed his resemblance, he figured that people just refused to believe that Superman even HAD a secret identity.
Nighteye(annoyed): He has all this power and he wastes time by pretending to be an ordinary man instead of always using it to help others?
Yu(realizing): People didn’t realize that he WANTED to feel human, so they never saw Superman whenever they looked at Mr. Hisashi from Musutafu News!
Inko(nodding her head as she holds up her tiara): Exactly, like how I kept people from realizing my mother was the hero Paragon by wearing my tiara.
Wonder Woman(as she puts her tiara back on, letting her hair turn black and her eyes blue): People never even realized that she was the Wonder Woman who worked with the Justice Society!
Wonder Woman(heading back to the pilot’s seat): Anyways, it’s great to see you again Yu. We’ll be arriving at I-Island soon. Maybe you can catch up with Hisashi while we prepare to head to the Fortress?
As Wonder Woman retakes the controls for the Javelin from Aquaman, we suddenly go back to Dr. Garaki’s lab.
The lab is shown to have been knocked into complete disarray as Cyborg Superman and Re-Destro walk back into the lab with an annoyed looks on their faces. Dr. Garaki is shown helping Parasite tend to a scowling Metallo who has several dents in his new armor, with Bizarro nowhere to be seen.
Cyborg Superman(turning from the broken pod towards Dr. Garaki in annoyance): What.Happened?
Dr. Garaki(straightening his coat as he stands up): Number Six regained his sense of consciousness, and ten minutes after you left he started banging on his pod, until he managed to break himself out.
Dr. Garaki(turning around to address the former Destro as Rikiya starts scanning the broken pod): We tried to assist him, but he started muttering about hearing a “tick”, and we would suddenly speed up and slow down.
Dr. Garaki(gesturing to the wrecked lab): Then he went mad and started trashing the place, demanding to know where a “Kazuho” was and stating that the “ticking” was getting louder.
Dr. Garaki: Bizarro tried to restrain him, but he took off out of the lab using “Overclock” and Bizarro raced off after him.
Dr. Garaki(voiceover as Bizarro is shown flying after a black and yellow blur that is leaving trails of lightning in its wake): Who knows where they might be now?
Cyborg Superman(turning towards his descendant): It would appear that we’ll have to clean up the good doctor’s mess.
Re-Destro(completing his scan of the pod): It would appear that with The Flash having regained his powers via what he calls “the Speedforce”, Number 6 unknowingly established an improper connection to it through “Overclock”.
Re-Destro(pressing a few more buttons on his gauntlet before turning to his ancestor): I’ve sent you the readings I took of the pod, you should be able to use them to track him down.
Re-Destro(as Chikara’s cybernetic eye flashes with the information): Your Kryptonian speed should allow you to keep pace with our young friend.
We then see an alley located with Tokyo’s Naruhata district, as a black and yellow blur with lightning darts into it and stops, letting the flying Bizarro zip past it.
Bizarro stops and looks around in annoyance, before flying off to look for his target elsewhere.
The blur is revealed to be the young man that was seen within the pod in the lab, wearing a black customs with silver lines throughout, with a yellow “v” shaped section running across his chest. This is Number 6, also known by the fake alias, Rokuro Nomura.
Rokuro(shaking as his voice is constantly speeding up and slowing down): Whowas thaaaaattttguy? Whathappened tttttttoooooo me?
Rokuro clutches the sides of his head as he tries to recall the last thing he can remember before he woke up in the pod. He remembers that he had tried to kill someone, he RIVAL*tick*. He remembered HER. He was trying to KILL the boy*tock*who had caught his master’s eye*tick*. He remembered the sweet song he heard her sing. He was going to die*tock*. He thought of Kazuho. HE WAS GOING TO TAKE *TICK* WITH HIM!!! He thought of the happy memories he made with her. HE WAS GOING TO PAY*TOCK*!!!
Rokuro(falling to his knees in pain as the lightning stops flowing around him): Who the hell is “he”?! Why can’t I remember him?!
Rokuro(screaming into the sky): WHERE THE HELL IS THAT TICKING COMING FROM?!?!?!
Rokuro(standing up as the imagine of the one person he CAN remember appears in his mind): KAZUHO!!! She has to know what’s going on!
Rokuro uses “Overclock” to take off running out of the alleyway, startling some civilians and pros who were walking past.
Civilian(confused by the blur of lightning): Was that the Flash?
Pro Hero(just as confused): I though he operated in Musutafu, what’s he doing here?
As the gathered civilians and pros wonder just exactly what the blur they saw was, the clouds in the sky gather and it starts raining. A lightning bolt strikes a random rooftop and leaves behind a young man in a simple white shirt, jeans and shoes, with a makeshift red cape and a metal arm.
Meanwhile, we see our heroes arriving on I-Island as they are greeted by a young woman with blonde hair wearing glasses, and a man with brown hair and a beard also wearing glasses standing beside her. These people are Melissa Shield and her father, David Shield.
Superman(addressing the father/daughter duo as he lands softly, as if he was simply taking a step): Thanks for agreeing to help with this David.
Superman(walking to them as the others land as well): You to Melissa.
David(shaking Hisashi’s hand): It’s the least I can do to make up for my foolish mistake.
Melissa(running up to Izuku and hugging him, before pulling away): Is it true that Uncle Might is healed?
Shazam(landing besides them): You can ask him yourself.
Melissa(turning to Denki): Kaminari, is that you?
Shazam(nodding his head): Yeah, long story short, me and Mina are actually clones of Izuku, but we have more of our mom’s DNA, making our powers different from his.
Before Melissa can begin asking her next question, a small blue blur races from one of the Javelin’s and stops in front of her, before embracing her in a hug.
Supergirl(hugging Melissa): AUNTIE MEL!!!
Melissa(laughing as she hugs Eri back): Hey there sweetie, I see that the news was right about there being a Supergirl.
Melissa(as she sees Ochaco walking towards them with Jirou and Mina in her Amazonian form): Ashido, what happened to your pink skin? You look like Izuku.
Shazam(as Mina bags her bracelets together): SHAZAM!!!
Melissa(stunned after seeing two lightning bolts strike Denki and Mina, reverting them into their normal depowered selves): Wha?
Mina(rubbing that back of her neck with her normal pink skin and hair with her horns): That’s magic for ya…
Denki(sheepishly with his normal blond hair): It’s a long story.
Jirou(chuckling as she crosses her arms): Ain’t that right.
Denki(voiceover as he agrees with his girlfriend while looking at the stunned look on Melissa’s face): She’s right. What a life you have now Denki…
The scene goes back to Tokyo, as we spot a young woman with pink hair and an eyepatch walking down the street. This is Kazuho Haneyama, formerly the vigilante known as Pop Step, and colleague of Knuckleduster.
She is simply going about her business, and decides to cut across an alley to get to her home. As she walks along the alley, she is suddenly surrounded by thugs.
Thug 1: Hand over your purse, and things don’t get ugly, understand?
Thug 2(nervous): Are sure about this? I heard that the Flash was seen running around Tokyo.
Thug 3(annoyed): Relax, last I heard he was that League of his on special business.
Thug 1: Hand it over lady.
Kazuho(getting into a defensive stance): Like I’d just do what you tell me to.
However, before either party can make the first move, a blur of red lightning races into the alleyway, subduing the thugs in an instant!
Rokuro(as he appears to be vibrating in place with lightning radiating off of him): STAYAWAYFRRRROOOOOOMMMMMHER!!!
Kazuho(stunned by the appearance of her dead “friend”): Rokuro?
Rokuro(turning to her as Overclock’s effects start dying down): Kazuho! Thank goodness I found you!
Rokuro(walking towards her with a panicked look in his eyes): I woke in a lab I didn’t recognize I can’t remember how I got there! YOU HAVE YO HELP M-
The young man is caught off by the sound of a gun going off as he suddenly clutches his shoulder, revealing that one of the thugs had regained consciousness and had used their quirk to fire a bullet from his hand, striking his shoulder from behind.
Rokuro(turning around as his eyes start glowing red): YOU!!! YOUJUSTTRIEDTOKILLME!!!
Rokuro(as he rushes the thug and punches him at hypersonic speeds): NOONECCCCCCAAAAAAANNNNNNTOUCHMEEEE!!!
Rokuro then starts hearing the ticking he heard before getting louder, forcing him to stop and fall to his knees.
Thug 2(getting up and seeing what happened to the group leader): You’re not the Flash, who are you?
Rokuro(clutching his head): WHERE IS THAT SOUND COMING FROM?!?!?!
Kazuho(confused): What sound?
Rokuro(screaming to the sky): CAN’T YOU HEAR THE TICKING?!?!?!
Thug 2(taking this time to run out of the alley): Forget this, I’m out of here!
Kazuho(approaching Rokuro as he starts calming down): What happened to you? You left behind lightning like the Flash.
Rokuro(turning to her confused): Who?
Kazuho(explaining): The Flash, the Fastest Man Alive.
Rokuro(getting angry): O’CLOCK’S THE FASTEST HERO!!!
Kazuho(frightened): Flash’s just as fast as he was.
Kazuho(pulling up a video on her phone): See?
Rokuro looks at the video he is shown. The video is of Tensei chasing after a group of thugs split up into two cars. Flash bursts forward and dismantles the first car, leaving the thugs in it tied up among the remains. He vibrates his hand into the engine of the second car and disconnects the battery, causing the car to turn off and cruise to a halt before a police blockade.
Flash is then shown running around a tornado in the opposite direction, causing it to unravel. He is also shown racing up the side of a building and across water.
Rokuro is gazes at the Flash’s costume and notes how it similar to O’Clock’s own, but with more armor. He especially pays close attention to the yellow lightning bolt emblem on his chest, almost as if it was mocking him, taunting him that Flash could outrun lightning itself.
Rokuro turns gets an idea and sees a broken mirror laying in the alleyway. He walks towards it, leaving Kazuho to look at him in confusion. He then jabs his right fingers into the wound on his left shoulder with a hiss and removes it. He then uses his own blood and the mirror to draw the same lightning bolt emblem as Flash’s on his own chest. Once he is down, he uses his bomber cells to heal his wound, and turns to face Kazuho, making her gasp at the reversed lightning bolt on his chest.
Rokuro(grinning darkly): There can only be ONE Fastest Man Alive, and that’s me!
We then see Cyborg Superman meet up with Bizarro and they begin tracking Rokuro’s Speedforce energy, until they are stopped by a young voice calling out to them.
???(arrogantly): HEY, METALHEAD, CHALKFACE!!!
The two turn around and spot the young man that had appeared on a rooftop early, glaring at them with a sneer.
Cyborg Superman(confused): And who are YOU suppose to be?
???(annoyed): I’m Tetsuo, head of the Akira Gang. Now what is this place?
Bizarro(confused): This place Tokyo.
Tetsuo(shocked): That’s impossible! This place looks nothing like Tokyo.
Cyborg Superman(annoyed): We have no time argue with you child.
Cyborg Superman(turning around): We have much better things to do.
Tetsuo(enraged): Don’t you dare turn your back on me!
Tetsuo charges towards the Cyborg, throwing out his arm for a punch, only for his punch to be caught by the Pseudo Kryptonian.
Cyborg SM(eyes narrowed): Begone child.
He then throws Tetsuo towards the ground like a missile.
Tetsuo(within the smoke from his impact): I’ll kill you…
Tetsuo(racing towards Cyborg Superman in anger): I’LL KILL YOU!!!
This time however he is intercepted by Bizarro.
Bizarro(eyes narrowed): We no have time for child!
Tetsuo(getting madder): I’m not a child! I MAKE THE RULES HERE!!!
Just as Tetsuo starts trying to rip buildings out of the ground, Bizarro shoots his ice-vision right at Tetsuo’s face, breaking his concentration, and causing him to fall back to the ground.
Just as Tetsuo breaks the ice encasing his head, he is bombarded by a high speed barrage of punches all across his body. The barrage ends to show that Rokuro was the one to have delivered them, now wearing a makeshift black cowl that is yellow down the middle and with lightning bolt ear pieces on the sides.
Rokuro(vibrating in place, with a grin and glowing red eyes): Nnnnnooooooottttttfastenough!
Tetsuo(glaring at him annoyed): WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!
Rokuro: I’m Zoom, The Fastest Man Alive, and I’m taking you down!
Tetsuo(gritting his teeth): Like you could even hurt me!
However before Tetsuo can charge at the speedster, he senses what to him appears to be another Esper, just as powerful as him!
Tetsuo(turning towards the ocean): Another Esper? Here?!
Tetsuo(taking off towards the presence he felt as a bolt of lightning): I’LL PROVE I’M THE TOP DOG!!!
Zoom(seeing his opponent turns into a lightning bolt): HEY, I’M NOT THROUGH WITH YOU YET!!!
Zoom takes off after the young Esper, and just as Bizarro prepares to fly after them, he is stopped by Cyborg Superman.
Cyborg Superman(ordering Bizarro): Wait, let us see just what they are both capable of my friend.
They then fly after the two young men. We then cut to I-Island, with Melissa being told of everything that had happened recently to the young heroes-in-training.
Melissa(stunned): So magic really does exist?!
Denki(voiceover): That reaction might starting getting old pretty soon.
Melissa(looking towards the restrained Supermen): And those guys came from other universes due to a malfunctioning piece of alien technology?
Izuku(nodding his head with Eri on his shoulders): Yeah, we’re heading to the fortress to find a way to send them back.
Ochaco: Superman figured that you and David could help figure out how to do so.
Denki(voiceover as he suddenly feels a jolt of energy and turns around): What the hell is that?! It feels like pure unrestrained power!
Izuku(looking around as he senses it to): Does anyone feel that?
Denki: Something’s coming!
Denki(shouting with heroic intent): SHAZAM!!!
Seeing her brother transform, Mina does the same and clashes her bracelets together, and in two bolts of lightning, they become Shazam and Troy.
Manhunter(addressing everyone present): I sense a malicious presence heading this way!
Shazam suddenly turns towards the sky and sees a lightning bolt come out of the sky and turn into a young man with a cape.
Tetsuo(angrily looking around): WHERE IS HE?!?!?! WHERE IS THAT ESPER HIDING?!?!?!
Superboy(stunned as he realizes what this young man is): Another one?!
Suddenly a blur races past them and up a nearby building before jumping off and towards the figure in the sky.
Zoom(with an insane glint in his cowled eyes): THEREYOUARE!!!
Zoom tackles the boy out of the air and to the ground, but before I can proceed to pummel him, Flash and Kid Flash race up, grabbing his arms and pulling him away.
Flash(looking at Zoom in confusion): Who are you and why are you dressed like O’Clock?
Zoom(glaring at the brothers): I’m Zoom, andI’mtheFastestManAlive!!!
Tetsuo gets up and turns towards Superboy and Supergirl, realizing that they were the Espers he was sensing.
Tetsuo(pointing at them with his metal arm): You two!
Tetsuo(sneering at them): You have the same symbol as that chromedome!
Superboy(trying to reason with him): We don’t want any trouble.
Superboy(raising his arms in an attempt to pacify Tetsuo): Just relax and we can help you get back to your world.
Tetsuo(seeing those gestures as signs of being looked down upon): DON’T YOU DARE LOOK DOWN ON ME!!!
Tetsuo starts racing towards Izuku, only to be grabbed by Sentry, Supreme and Hyperion.
Sentry(holding Tetsuo’s metal arm): Trust me kid, you don’t want this.
Tetsuo(pushing them away with his psychokinesis): GET OFF OF ME!!!
Bakugo(eyes wide with realization): Oh my god, is that what I REALLY sound like that?!
Tetsuo(grabbing Sentry by the face and reading his mind): I can feel that you hold yourself back.
Tetsuo(pulling on Sentry’s mind): LET THAT POWER OUT!!!
Sentry(screaming as he loses control of himself): AAAAHHHH!!!
Tetsuo doesn’t realize what he’s done, until he is pushed back by the Sentry’s power as he assumes a monstrous form that appears as if it is made up of darkness. This is the Void.
Void(looking around): I’M FREE!!!
Void(looking at Tetsuo): You foolish boy, allow me to show you my gratitude!
Before Void is able to advance towards Tetsuo, he is tackled by Superman and Wonder Woman.
Shazam(turning towards Jirou): Get everyone to safety!
Hyperion(glaring at Tetsuo): Look at what you did!
Invincible(with the pro heroes, stunned): WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!?!
Uravity(running up): That’s the Void.
Uravity(looking up to see Superman and Wonder Woman combating the monster): Apparently it’s Sentry’s darker thoughts manifested as an evil personality, with the power of a black hole.
Earphone Jack(addressing the pros): We have to get everyone to safety!
Just as everyone is about to start evacuating the civilians, three blurs race past them. The blurs stop to reveal themselves as Tensei, Tenya and Rokuro. Tensei takes a closer look at Rokuro’s costume and his eyes widen in realization.
Flash(as he and Tenya pin Zoom against a wall): I recognize that costume. You were the second O’Clock!
Zoom(sneering at Flash): Iam,thatmakesmetheeeffffaaaaassssssttteeessstmaaaaaaaanalive!
Kid Flash(feeling something off about Zoom’s vibrations): Something’s wrong!
Zoom then suddenly and without warning phases through their holds, startling even himself.
Zoom(staring at his blurred vibrating hands before turning to the brothers with a feral grin): Icandothesametrick!
Zoom suddenly runs and grabs the brothers before they can even react, his movements resulting in a powerful sonic boom that shatters nearby windows and created craters with every step he took.
Just as Zoom pushed them both against the wall of a building, the ground shook beneath them, causing Zoom to lose his hold, as Tetsuo had forced Superboy into the ground with enough force to crater the reinforced concrete.
Tetsuo(trying to penetrate Izuku’s field): I’LL SHOW WHO’S TOP DOG AROUND HERE!!!
Superboy(reinforcing his field): You don’t understand, this isn’t your earth!
Tetsuo is then pushed off of Superboy by Supergirl and the Powerpuff girls who then proceed to bombard them with their heat vision, only managing to damage Tetsuo’s makeshift metal arm before he retaliates with his own psionic blast, damaging the buildings around them as he repairs his arm.
Red Riot(seeing a building about to tip over as he runs towards it): There are people in there!
Kirishima runs until he is underneath one damaged load bearing support and braces his hardening as strong as he can and catches the building, acting as a brace to keep it from falling the rest of the way.
Red Riot(straining under the weight): HELP THEM!!! ACK!!!
As the heroes help evacuate the building, Superboy lands a high speed blow on Tetsuo, who proceeds to knock Izuku towards a building. Izuku catches himself before he could damage the building, but Tetsuo then grabs him by the throat and forces him through.
Hyperion and Supreme are sent crashing into two separate buildings by the Void, causing those buildings to start falling as well. Mt Lady grabs one of them, keeping it from collapsing on top Hyperion, while Invincible flies over and grabs the building Supreme crashed into.
Invincible(addressing Supreme and Hyperion): GO!!! WE GOT THIS!!!
The speedsters recover and Zoom starts racing right for Flash, only to be intercepted by Shazam Jr.
Shazam Jr(knocking Zoom away): I’m fast to!
Blossom recovers from Tetsuo’s psionic blast and sees all the rubble falling from the buildings due to Void’s battle with Superman and Wonder Woman. She then rushes off and starts getting struggling civilians to safety along with her sisters, just as the Zoom enters a high speed battle with the Iida brothers and Katsuma, eventually leading onto the surface of the ocean around them, surprising Tenya.
Kid Flash(as he sees Zoom take off onto the surface of the ocean): HE CAN RUN ON WATER?!?!?!
Flash(rushing past his brother): SO CAN WE!!!
Shazam Jr(landing besides Tenya as Tensei runs atop the surface of the ocean as soon he touched the water’s surface): You just need to stay above 70 mph.
Kid Flash(looking at him in confusion): How do you know that?!
Shazam Jr(flying after Tensei and Rokuro): Wisdom of Solomon!
As Tenya joins his brother and Katsuma in fighting the rogue speedster, we see Denki join his parents in fighting the Void, managing to land a lightning enhanced blow on the monster that causes it to stagger.
Shazam(voiceover as he continues landing blows): This is unbelievable! This thing was able to take mom and dad’s blow like they were nothing!
Shazam(voiceover as he prepares to deliver a blast of magic lightning from his eyes): But let’s see if it can take magic!
However before Denki is able to deliver his blast, the Void is knocked out of his hold by the Utopian, who grabbed the Void from behind.
Utopian(struggling to hold Void): We have to get him out of here, before he does anymore damage!
Shazam(voiceover as he charges lightning into his fists): He’s right, the island can’t take much more!
Shazam(rushing towards them with his parents behind him): LET’S SEE HOW YOU LIKE THIS!!!
The Void manages to break free from the Utopian’s hold, and sends the elderly hero flying into the ground, only to get hit a punch that strikes with the might of the gods, sending him flying upwards into space.
As Shazam, Superman, Wonder Woman, Supreme and Hyperion fly into Earth’s outer atmosphere after the Void, we see the Utopian crash into the island with enough force to breach the multiple reinforced layers of hull until he breaks through into the ocean beneath the island.
Brandon(feeling the ground beneath his feet shift): What’s happening?!
David(checking an alert on his tablet): THE HULL’S BEEN BREACHED!!!
Brandon(Paragon, cuffed along with Homelander): What do you mean, “the hull”?
All Might(catching some rubble from falling on top of some civilians): IT MEANS THE ISLAND IS SINKING!!!
Aquaman(running towards the hole Sheldon made): I got this!
Homelander(frightened as Orin plummets into the water): AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, “OCEANMAN”?!?!?!
Homelander(turning to an eerily calm Nezu): LET ME GO RIGHT NOW!!! THERE’S NO WAY I’M DYING WITH YOU PATHETIC-
Sheldon’s unconscious body is tossed up from the hole in the ground, and the island rumbles as it starts righting itself.
Homelander(stunned as the island starts rising up): -people…WHAT WAS THAT?!?!?!
Ground Zero(running up with a group of kids, with a panicked look on his face): WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON NOW?!?!?!
Nezu(smirking from his place on Midnight’s shoulder): THAT would be King Orin holding up the island.
Everyone who heard what he just said: WHAT?!?!?!
Homelander(shocked): HOW?!?!?!
Nezu(turning to the evil “superman”): Atlanteans’ bodies are able to withstand the pressure of the deep sea, as a result they are incredibly strong.
Omniman(while carrying a recovering Utopian towards them): There’s more to this, isn’t there?
Nezu(grinning): As a member of the royal bloodline, King Orin was trained to peak Atlantean condition, he once stopped a blow capable of decimating a continent with his bare hands!
Earphone Jack(looking upwards as Denki and the others fly into space after the Void with a worried look on her face): Be careful up there you idiot, you still owe me a date.
Troy is seen assisting her brother and niece in fighting Tetsuo, landing a backhand with her shield and a slash across his chest with her sword.
Tetsuo(grabbing his chest in pain): AAAARGH!
This attack leaves the arrogant Esper wide open to an uppercut from Superboy, sending him into orbit.
Izuku flies up after him, but before Eri and Mina can fly after them, Ochaco flies up to them.
Uravity(as she reaches them): THE HULL’S BEEN BREACHED!!!
Troy+Supergirl(shocked): WHAT?!?!?!
Uravity: Aquaman’s keeping the island from sinking, but he can’t hold it for long.
Supergirl(flying downwards): WE HAVE TO HELP HIM!!!
Uravity(gazing up after Izuku, knowing that he can hear her): Take him down Izu…
Uravity(flying after her daughter): I know you can!
Troy(as she flies after Ochaco and her niece): You better come back big bro. I still enjoy having you as a brother, and Eri and Ochaco need you!
As the three fly into the water to assist the king, we see Cyborg Superman and Bizarro hovering at a distance, observing the chaos that is unfolding.
Cyborg Superman(turning towards Zoom’s high speed battle): It would appear that the Doctor’s little experiment has ended up much stronger than he was before.
Bizarro(gazing towards the island): Aquaman holding island up.
Cyborg Superman(turning to his fellow doppelgänger in amusement): I expected you to call him, “blond fish man”.
Bizarro(turning to face him with his glowing blue eyes): “I” am learning…
Cyborg Superman(grinning): Splendid! It appears your Kryptonian physiology is adapting and compensating for the gaps in your development! Good…
Cyborg Superman(gazing upwards): Keep an eye on things down here, if the boy ends up needing help, grab him and take him back to the lab.
Bizarro(raising a brow): Where you going?
Cyborg Superman(voiceover as Tetsuo is shown leaving Earth’s atmosphere): Why, the Final Frontier of course.
Tetsuo recovers from the uppercut and looks around, seeing that he stopped within range of the moon.
Tetsuo then grins madly as he prepares to punch a crater in the moon, having first hand experiences of what such an action would do to Earth’s environment.
However, just as he prepares to deliver a punch, Superboy flies up from behind him, and punches Tetsuo unto the moon. Before the Esper can begin to understand what happened, the young Kryptonian hybrid then delivers a punch with enough force to make Tetsuo’s body dig a hole THROUGH the moon coming out the other side, with Izuku following him through, using his telekinesis to force the hole closed behind him, lest the Earth’s gravitational field suffer from the damage.
Shazam(voiceover as he sees his brother’s feat while he helps battle the Void): You know, I honestly keep forgetting that we can do stuff like THAT!
Cyborg Superman(silently watching Izuku’s feat while looking at his own hands): Fascinating…
Meanwhile, on I-Island;
Kirishima can feel his muscles ache from having to hold up the building, with his classmates from 1-A and 1-B rushing to get everyone out. Tetsutetsu even joined him in holding up the building, and Omniman helps hold up another building, and Blossom holds up another as her sisters rush everyone out.
Hawks(flying people out through a window): HOLD ON KID, WE’RE ALMOST THERE!!!
Real Steel(straining): Can’t…hold…it…
Red Riot(straining): Just…a little…MORE!!!
Real Steel(feeling his concentration break): I…can’t…
Tetsutetsu then reverts back to normal and falls unconscious from the strain, leaving Kirishima to hold up the building.
Red Riot(feeling his muscles ache even more): AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!
Red Riot(feeling the weight being lifted off of his shoulders): Huh?!
Kirishima them looks behind him and sees a man wearing a red, white and blue customs with a star on his chest holding up the building much easier than him. The young hardening user’s eyes widen in shock as he recognizes just who the man is.
Red Riot(stunned): Y-you’re…CITIZEN STEEL!!!
Citizen Steel(smiling at Kirishima): You were doing a great job boys!
???(green glow coming from behind Kirishima): Now let us help you son!
Kirishima turns around and his eyes widen even further as his gaze lands upon a blonde man with a purple cape and mask, a glowing green ring, and a red shirt with the image of a Green Lantern on his chest, and a brown haired man wearing blue leggings, red boots, and red shirt with a yellow lightning bolt, and a silver helmet with yellow wings. These men are the Silver Age Green Lantern and Flash, Alan Scott and Jay Garrick.
Jay(smiling as he helps Kirishima to his feet): The Justice Society is here to help!
Mt Lady continues to hold up her building, this time with assistance from Atom Smasher, with Hourman and Wildcat assisting Kamui with evacuating the building. Dr Fate uses his magic to create a new support beam for the building that Invincible was holding up. Hawkman and Hawkgirl fly down carrying civilians in their arms and on their backs. As they touch down, they catch sight of an out of breath Hawks, and when he looks up at them, the three of them look at each other in shock.
Hawkwoman(stunned by the pro’s wings): Another Thanagarion?!
Hawks(confused): A what?!
Hawkman(stepping in front of his wife): Focus, save people first, questions later.
Jay(after getting the last bit of people out the building Kirishima was lifting): That’s the last of them!
Jay(looking around as Citizen Steel lets the building drop, and he walks out of the rubble unscathed): If you need me…
Jay(assuming a three point stance with lightning coursing around him): I’ll be helping deal with the rogue speedster.
Green Lantern(touching down just as Jay takes off onto the surface of the ocean, carrying a group of civilians in a baseball mitt construct): What are you all doing here?
Alan(carrying a group in an elevator construct letting off green flames): We came here as quickly as we could, Fate told us that something big was going to happen.
Alan(looking up): We also ran into HIM on our way here.
Momo looks up in the direction her senior was facing towards and spots a familiar black suit with a lightning bolt insignia and cape. This is the same man who had highjacked Izuku’s final exam.
Black Adam(eyes glowing with power): Where are they?!
Green Lantern(pointing straight up): By my estimates, probably somewhere within the Moon’s orbit.
Black Adam takes off into space with a crack of thunder.
Manhunter(approaching Alan): Aquaman still needs assistance holding up the island!
Before any of them can move to assist the King of Atlantis, the island shifts under their feet and Supergirl and her mother land before them, carrying Aquaman with them, with the King looking as if he hadn’t just been holding up an entire island for the last few minutes.
Batman(swinging down alongside his son, confused): Orin?! If you’re here…
Batman(finishing his father’s question): Then who’s holding up the island?!
Robin(over the comms): Dad, you might not believe this…
Batman(answering his comms): Robin? Where are you?
Robin: I went with Teen Lantern in order to reinforce some of the buildings’ weak spots with my hardening gel just like you and Grandpa, and then we saw Supergirl fly into the water and come back out with Aquaman.
Robin(as he is show on a construct platform made by Mahoro): As for who’s holding up the island…
Mina is shown lifting the island out of the water and into the air.
Batman(stunned by what he just heard): …
Green Lantern(looking at her boyfriend in concern): Shouto?
Batman(turning to his girlfriend): Mina is lifting the island into the air…
Eraserhead(having heard what Shouto just said): SHE’S WHAT?!?!?!
We then cut to space as the heavy hitters continue to do battle against the Void, while Izuku battles Tetsuo.
(Cue Marvelous by Brandon Yates)
Supreme lounges in for a punch, but his fist is caught and he is thrown into an oncoming Hyperion.
Void(taunting them): You can’t stand against the might of a thousand black holes!
Shazam(charging at him alongside his mother): You sure about that?!
The mother and son duo deliver a double punch hit charged with lightning, managing to harm the monster, allowing Hisashi to deliver a punch that pushes him back.
Shazam+Wonder Woman(charging in with lightning in their eyes): GODLY IMPACT!!!
Void recovers enough to catch their punches and pushes past the pain inflicted by the surge of divine lightning.
Void(snarling at Inko): Enough of this!
Void throws Inko further into space, with Hisashi flying after her.
Void(snarling at Denki): BEGONE!!!
Void then throws Denki in the direction of the sun, only to end up being tackled by Black Adam!
Black Adam(glaring with lightning coursing in his eyes): Surrender monster, or fall before the might of Black Adam!
Void(grinning madly): Bring it!
As the two rush at each other, Denki stops himself from flying any further, and just as he is about to take off back towards the fight, he stops.
Shazam(voiceover as he looks at his hands as he starts to feel much stronger): What is this?
Shazam(clenching his fists): I FEEL STRONGER THAN EVER!!!
Shazam(turning around as he realizes that he can feel the warmth of the sun, his eyes widening): It’s the sun! I’m absorbing the solar radiation!
Shazam(rocketing off as his eyes start glowing brighter than ever): Time for round two!
Izuku is shown matching Tetsuo blow for blow almost effortlessly, with both of their power growing stronger as their battle goes on!
Superboy(grunting in annoyance): Can’t you just stop and let us help you?!
Tetsuo(ignoring all reason): I DON’T NEED ANYONE’S HELP!!!
Void tanks a punch from Adam and punches him back, only for Adam to be caught by a recover Supreme and Hyperion, just as Shazam goes flying past them all and delivers a hyper charged punch onto the creature of darkness.
Void(glowing red with power): FEEL MY POWER!!!
Shazam(glowing with solar radiation and divine magic): FEEL A POWER EQUAL TO HEAVEN!!!
As the two deliver punches that radiate great power, Adam, Supreme and Hyperion are interrupted before they can assist Denki in his clash as Cyborg Superman makes his presence known.
Cyborg Superman(grinning at them): Now now, if you all really want to fight someone…
Cyborg Superman(rushing at them as his right hand grows talons): Fight me instead!
During his clash again Void, Denki manages to outpace him and begins delivering more blows, knocking him back more and more.
Hisashi and Inko come flying back in, with Inko removing her bracelets to access her full power!
The three manage to do much more damage to the Dark Sentry, causing bits of his shadowed self to seemingly crack and reveal his noble half, the Sentry.
Void(roaring as he can feel his control slipping): NO!!! I WON’T GO BACK!!!
Meanwhile, Izuku begins to notice something wrong with Tetsuo’s metal arm.
Superboy(scanning the metal appendage with his x-ray vision): Wait, your arm! It’s-
Tetsuo(punching Izuku across the face): SHUT UP!!!
The punch merely pushes Izuku’s head to one side, and causes the metal arm to shatter and break apart, revealing the disgusting mound of deformed flesh underneath!
Tetsuo(panicked as he sees what happened to his arm): WHA?!?!
The deformed flesh then starts pulsating and begins creating tendrils of flesh that quickly overtakes Tetsuo, much to his panicked shock.
Tetsuo(screaming in fear): NOOOO!!!
Superboy(eyes widening in shock as he sees what the arrogant Esper has become): By Rao…
Izuku finds floating before him, a massive misshapen creature with throbbing veins throughout its “body”. It opens its eyes, and lets out a roar.
Superboy(clutching his head as he starts hearing Tetsuo’s thoughts in his head): ARGH!!!
Tetsuo(within Izuku’s mind): Please…Help me…It hurts…so much…
Izuku’s eyes widen as he hears those words, and begins moving and dodging the tendrils of flesh come flying after him, moving towards his family as they almost end their battles against Void.
Shazam(seeing what happened to Tetsuo): WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!
Eventually the fleshly appendages grab a hold of Izuku, as well as Hisashi, Inko, Denki and Void. The creature then begins glowing with energy and seemingly explodes with a white flash, causing Cyborg Superman and his opponents to turn towards the light.
All Might(seeing the explosion of energy from I-Island): What is happening up there?
The glowing subsides to reveal that Denki had used his magic to counter and contain the energy and fires it at the Void before he could recover, finally reverting him back into the Sentry.
Tetsuo breaks free of what remained of the fleshy abomination and charges straight at Izuku, down an arm, only for Izuku to look him in the eyes
Superboy(as his eyes glow): I’m sorry…
Izuku flashes his heat vision into Tetsuo’s eyes, reducing his brain to ash.
Tetsuo(within Izuku’s mind as he dies): Thank…you…
Superboy(sighing heavily as he grabs Tetsuo’s body): You’re welcome…
(End song)
Sentry(breathing heavily as he regains control): THAT was intense!
Cyborg Superman(turning towards Supreme, Hyperion and Black Adam): This has been fun, but it appears that my objective of observing you all has been satisfied.
Cyborg Superman(flying off back to Earth just as before Adam could start charging at him): I bid you all adieu!
We cut back to I-Island as Mina is shown to still be carrying it above her head, now being assisted by the Powerpuff Girls, Uravity, Supergirl, and Invincible.
Troy(spotting an empty beach): Just a little more!
Troy(suddenly feeling the weight of the island being lifted out of her hands): Huh?
Supergirl(looking up and seeing her grandfather effortlessly carrying the island the rest of the way): Grandpa!
Buttercup(wide eyed as she and her sisters witness just how strong Hisashi is): Woah…
Blossom(amazed): He’s lifting it in such a way that the island isn’t breaking apart!
Meanwhile, up top;
All Might(concerned as he sees Izuku float down with Tetsuo’s dead body): What happened up there?
Superboy(looking down at Tetsuo’s corpse): His power grew out of his control. He released a big blast of energy that would of decimated us, but Denki used his magic to contain it and blasted the Void with it.
Superboy(looking up at Toshinori after kneeling down and placing the body on the floor): The power was like an addiction, it hurt him the more it grew uncontrollable, to the point that he begged for help, and I put him out of his misery…And he thanked me for doing so…
Superboy(as Eri and Ochaco hug him realizing that he’s feeling guilty): I tried to warn him, but he refused to listen to me…
Superman(landing besides his son after having set the island down on the beach): It’s not your fault son.
Superman(kneeling before Izuku): You’re right, that power was like a drug, and by the looks of it, he wanted more and more, until it ended up out of his control.
Superman(as Utopian looks at him comfort his son in shock): Power just makes us more of who we are, maybe that’s what caused him to turn into the abomination, his power made his appearance match his personality, but he rather died a man than a monster…
Superman(as Izuku looks up at him): The fact you even FEEL even the least bit guilty speaks so much about how different you are from him. It shows that you care.
Superman(standing up and gesturing towards Izuku, Denki and Mina): And that’s what makes you three different from him, your powers make you all into greater heroes, because you were already great people, and you all make proud because of it.
Superman(gazing down at Tetsuo): Wherever he’s soul ended up, I hope he found the peace he couldn’t find in life.
Sheldon is left deep in thought as he thinks over Hisashi’s words, and realizes that maybe Brandon WAS right, that he did hold too high of expectations for the younger heroes of his world.
Shazam(voiceover as his father finishes his little speech): And THAT is why he’s THE Superman.
Dr Fate(hovering towards them): Kal-El.
Hisashi(turning towards Fate): Dr Nelson.
Dr Fate(landing before them): I was informed of your plan to handle the so called, “Supermen”, but we came to I-Island for a different reason…
Dr Fate waves his hand and a golden staff appears floating besides him, with a sharp, curved spear head.
Dr Fate(as the staff starts glowing with energy): The Cosmic Staff appears to have chosen a new wielder.
Jay(arriving with the Iida Siblings and Katsuma with help from Haruto): So THAT’S why you brought us here.
Tensei(addressing Enji): We manages to take down that Zoom guy, but before we could grab him out of the water, that Bizarro guy showed up and snatched him before taking off just as Haruto found us.
Enji(cowl pulled off and a hand on his chin): So now there’s a “Mirror Superman” and a “Reverse Flash”…
Tensei(hand on his own chin): That title actually sounds pretty accurate…
Alan(addressing Nelson): So the rod finally chose a new wielder, after all this time?
Nelson(removing his helmet to reveal his gray hair and beard): Yes, and as to why it took so long…
Nelson(glancing at the staff as it begins spinning): It was waiting for its new wielder to realize that their dream…
Nelson(smiling as the staff stops spinning and flies towards a stunned Melissa): Can truly come true.
Melissa(shocked): What is this?
Alan(smiling softly): THAT is the Cosmic Staff, it belonged to Starman.
Jay(lifting his hat upwards a bit): Looks like it deemed you worthy to wield it kid.
As Melissa takes a hold of the staff, a small tear escapes her eye as she realizes that she now has the power to truly help people as she always wanted to.
Denki(talking to Jirou, with his hood down revealing the blond tips in his black hair): It was incredible! The sunlight actually empowered me like it does Izuku!
Jirou(hand on her chin): And you’re already as strong as Izuku is normally…
Denki(smiling widely): Exactly, it felt like I could move the Heavens themselves!
Jirou(looking at her boyfriend in amusement): Did you really just make that comparison?
Denki(offended): What, it’s true!
Jirou(poking her boyfriend in the ear with a snort): You dork!
Denki(smiling as he rubs his ear despite not having felt any pain): But I’m your dork.
David(looking into the breach through the island’s hull): This is’ll take a good while to fix…
Toshinori(reverting to his healed normal self and placing his hand on his friend’s shoulder): You’ll have this fixed in no time, I just know it.
Hisashi(approaching the two): Actually, might I have a suggestion.
Hisashi(as David turns to him): Why not make an orbital space station instead? The League can help build it.
David(hand on his chin): Interesting idea, a space station would definitely be much harder to break into.
Hisashi(smiling): It could also act as a hub for heroes to meet up and compare notes with the world’s top scientists, as well as help monitor events occurring around the world.
Toshinori(raising a brow): Like some kind of “Watchtower”?
Hisashi(grinning): Exactly! The League can even provide some teleporters and artificial gravity generators.
David(smiling at the two heroes): That actually sounds like a great idea! The Justice Society have their own base, so maybe the Justice League can have their own in the satellite!
Mina(talking with Kirishima): YOU DID WHAT?!?!?!
Kirishima(smiling sheepishly at her): Yeah, I held up a building!
Mina(eyes wide with worry): YOU COULD’VE DIED!!!
Kirishima(smirking): As if I’d let myself die like that! You’re not losing me that easily!
Kirishima(grinning): Besides, I’m not the one who lifted the ENTIRE island!
Mina(blushing as she pouts and crosses her arms): That’s different…I’m way stronger than you.
Kirishima(grinning as he flexes his arm): But I’m just as durable!
Hawks(seeing Hawkman and Hawkwoman walk towards him): Need something?
Hawkman(removing his helmet): We need to talk…
Nelson(walking towards Eri): There is also another reason why we came here.
Eri(looking at Dr Fate in confusion as he places his helmet back on): Why are looking at me like that?
Dr Fate(holding out a glowing hand towards Eri’s head): This may tingle for a little bit.
Eri(as Dr Fate places his hand on her head): Huh?!
Dr Fate(pulling his hands away from her head as Eri’s eyes widen in shock): Got you.
Eri(looking at him in shock): What did you do?!
Ochaco(looking at Eri in concern): What’s wrong sweetie?
Eri(starting to panic): I CAN’T HEAR NANA ANYMORE!!!
Toshinori(spits out the water he was drinking into Nighteye’s face): YOU COULD HEAR WHO?!?!?!
Dr Fate(holding up the glowing orb in his hand): Give me but a moment.
Dr Fate lifts up his other hand and holds it up to the orb as a series of ruins begin appearing within his hand before converging onto the orb. The orb then floats out of his hand and onto the ground before growing brighter and bigger in size. From the light, a figure starts to take shape, and the glow starts subsiding until in the orb’s place is a tall, black haired woman with blue eyes wearing a black bodysuit with yellow gloves, white boots and cape, and a red tailcoat around her waist, she also happens to look a lot like Inko’s Amazonian form, leaving many looking in shock as they recognize the woman. This is Inko’s dead mother, the former Silver Age Wonder Woman turned pro hero Paragon, Nana Shimura!
Nana(opening her eyes in confusion): What just happened?
Inko(eyes wide): M-mom?
Nana(eyes widen as she turns around and sees Inko looking at her in shock): Inko? You can see me?!
Inko(grabbing her mother in a hug): IT’S REALLY YOU!!!
Dr Fate(as Nana’s eyes widen as she realize that she has a body again): Welcome back old friend.
Denki(voiceover as he and his siblings watch their mother have a teary reunion with their revived Grandmother): You know, despite the fact that we’re currently dealing with multiversal visitors…
Denki(voiceover as his shocked face is shown): THIS still surprises me…
Denki(voiceover as we pan out to see I-Island laying upon the shores of a beach): Speaking of which…
Denki(voiceover as we see the Crime Syndicate looking over them in the distance): Isn’t there still an entire group we haven’t seen yet?
Denki(voiceover as a war hammer is picked up out of a crater amidst a thunderstorm): Hopefully, this adventure will wrap up pretty soon…
To Be Continued…
Next time; Part 5 Action Comics; Starring the House of El, Feat. the Justice League
Author’s note; Once again, thanks to @chapelseed for giving me the suggestion to make Melissa Stargirl. She is now the last eat in the newest generation of legacy heroes, succeeding Starman, she’ll be joined by her father David acting as Stripes.
I also introduced a revived Rokuro Nomura from “Vigilantes” as Zoom; The Reverse Flash, seeing as how he worshipped O’Clock, a pro with a super-speed like quirk, had yellow on their costume, was mentally unstable, and is able to slow down time like Hunter Zolomon to mimic super-speed. He’ll show up in further stories.
I also decided to bring back Nana using Dr Fate, since there is very LITTLE he can’t do. Nana will act as a bridge between the first and newer generations and as the equivalent of the pre-New 52 Wonder Woman.
Stay tuned for Part 5, where are heroes head to Fortress of Solitude and find themselves under siege by the Crime Syndicate! See ya all next time!

Ok, so I’ve been really into batfamily reverse age au’s lately, but a lot of the fics I’ve read just insert Tim Drake into Jason’s story with minor changes. That’s fine, but it got me thinking about what would’ve happened if Tim was the second Robin.
And I may or may not have gotten a little out of control.
Anyways, enjoy.
So Talia would drop Damian off on Bruce first. Which, I mean imagine Bruce having to learn how to parent with Damian. Anyway, Damian becomes Bruce’s first sidekick, not Robin because Dick came up with the name Robin, so for the sake of this rant I’m going to call him Blackbird. I think that would go pretty similarly to canon, with Damian eventually wanting to go off by himself, having a falling out with Bruce, etc. I imagine reverse Damian as less bratty than regular Damian, because he doesn’t have a Robin legacy to live up to or a mantle to earn. He was the first. I mean he’s still Damian, and still has to learn how to go from assassin to vigilante, but he is definitely more confident with his place. I think he’d be a lot like Bruce because 1. Regular Damian is already similar to Bruce and 2. He didn’t have any other role models, so there was no Dick Grayson to admire instead. So, eventually, Damian goes off by himself as a new vigilante (that isn’t Nightwing.)
Then Tim shows up. Bruce is upset that his son left and is trying to learn how to deal with the fact that Damian grew up, no longer needs him, etc. Bruce probably blames himself partly, thinking that he was a bad parent to Damian, and starts getting more violent with criminals. Taking his own guilt out on them, when a boy shows up at his door talking about how he knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman. Now there was no Dick Grayson doing a quadruple flip for Tim to figure it out, so he had to figure out a different way. Maybe he met Damian at a gala and was able to connect his formal speech patterns with Blackbird’s, and then everything else clicked into place. Anyway, Tim saw that there wasn’t a Blackbird anymore and saw that Batman started getting more violent with criminals and needed a sidekick, so he volunteered. It would take way less convincing from Tim in this au, because Damian didn’t die, especially when Bruce finds out about the neglectful parents. Tim would be closer with Bruce right off the bat too. So Tim becomes Blackbird. Everything’s great for a while, and when Tim’s parents die, Bruce adopts him. I think that Tim would always help the street kids, because he started becoming friends with some of them while following Batman and Blackbird.
Now, I’m thinking that Tim encountered the Joker in a very different way than Jason. Tim is smart enough that he can’t be easily tricked into a trap like Jason did, and he’s less impulsive. I think the same thing that happens to Jason would happen to Tim though, because the timing wouldn’t change. The Joker would want to traumatize Batman by killing his sidekick at the same time as canon. Who that sidekick is doesn’t really matter. It probably would’ve happened similarly to in Batman Beyond, where Tim was chasing a criminal or Harely and ended up getting knocked out. After that, the same thing in canon would happen, beaten, blown up, dead.
Bruce would be devestated. He’d probably be even more guilty than in canon because he let Tim convince him to be Blackbird in the first place, when Tim wasn’t even part of the family yet. He’d get even more violent than before, probably suicidal, starting to lose it. Damian would come back to Gotham to try to help his father, and mourn Tim himself. Damian and Tim didn’t have a strong relationship, but Damian respected his intelligence and the boy started to grow in him. Damian would feel that he should’ve gotten to know Tim better.
Then Jason would come flying into everyone’s lives. Bruce is worse than ever, when he comes across a boy stealing his tires. He’s surprised and a little shocked at the absolute balls this kid has, stealing from the batmobile, and dazedly asks if Jason was hungry. Jason would remind Bruce of Tim, and how Tim was always so good with the younger street kids and how he would want to help Jason. Long story short, Jason gets adopted. Jason in this au wouldn’t become Blackbird for a decent amount of time, even when he discovers Bruce is Batman, because Bruce is so scared at the thought of losing another son, but he eventually relents. Jason wouldn’t be able to get away with as many impulsive moves as in canon, because Bruce is way more cautious now. Anyway, Batman calms down, and everything’s normal for a while.
Then Tim comes back.
The same thing would happen as in canon. Ra’s Al Ghul heard that the smart Blackbird died, and starts plotting. Cut to grace robbing and Lazarus pit ex machina. Now, Tim wouldn’t respond to the same manipulation that Jason did. He doesn’t want people to die, he wouldn’t be that mad at Bruce for not killing the Joker, because he understands Batman, he followed him, studied him, flew with him. He knows why Bruce didn’t kill the Joker. No, Ra’s would have to resort to different tactics. Jason. Ra’s would play it that Bruce immediately took a new son off of the streets, a new Blackbird. That would get to Tim. If Tim thought that Bruce immediately got a new sidekick to put in harm’s way, didn’t even pause, and a street kid at that, who wouldn’t have a better alternative. That would get Tim mad. Tim wouldn’t be mad at being replaced, but that he got replaced with a kid who didn’t know better, immediately, and that Damian didn’t stop it. That would break through Tim’s walls enough for Ra’s to get to him. And given a year, Ra’s could manipulate him into wanted to kill Bruce. “For everyone’s sake,” Ra’s would say. “How many kids will he get killed.” Damian would be used as fuel too. Ra’s would say that he knows Damian. That Damian would stand by and let it happen if it meant he got to stay as a solo vigilante. That Damian doesn’t care about anyone else. Tim’s smart enough to logic his way through most of these lies, and he knows full well how much trouble Ra’s is, given that Damian was his predecessor, But, it wouldn’t matter how smart Tim was, given enough time and sole exposure to the league. Ra’s would shape Tim into his heir. Damian was a failure in that regard, and Tim is smarter anyway.
Eventually, Ra’s would be confident enough in Tim’s brainwashing that he would bring Tim back to Gotham. Not as the Red Hood, but as an assassin. A very well-trained assassin. Tim wouldn’t just kill people like Jason did, he’d probably have killed people with the league but not a lot. Forcing Tim to kill a lot would shake him out of the brainwashing more, because of his morals. No, Ra’s would be the one to get Batman’s attention. When Bruce eventually figured out Ra’s was in town, he’d go find him, and find Tim instead. Tim would have swords on him, and be in league of assassins uniform, but would probably be holding a gun at Bruce, because he could still beat Tim in a one on one fight. Damian would be there too, because he can handle his grandfather, but when he sees Tim, he’d blanch. Because, despite not being incredibly close to Tim, that was still his little brother, his dead little brother with his grandfather behind him. Oh, Damian would know exactly what happened.
Bruce would try to talk Tim down, and so would Damian, but with Ra’s right there as well, Tim wouldn’t shake enough to back down. Then, Jason shows up. I think that’s what gets through to Tim. Jason would’ve heard about Tim, and wanted to be just like him. He’d say as much to him. That is what would make a Tim pause, because according to Ra’s, Bruce made Jason Blackbird, Tim didn’t even think about if Jason had to convince Bruce to become Blackbird. He wasn’t able to with being around Ra’s constantly for a year. But with Jason standing right in front of him, completely unharmed, saying he wanted to be like Tim. That would shock Tim’s brain enough to actually think about what Damian and Bruce were saying. It would be like his entire word view suddenly tilted. His hand would start shaking. Damian would try to get him to see reason again, to reach out to Tim for what is pretty much the first time, and Ra’s gets cocky. He forgets that Tim’s intelligence doesn’t belong to him or Bruce. Tim would be reevaluating everything and start seeing more and more holes with Ra’s arguments. Tim’s more rational that regularJason, he’d be able to see that reverse Jason seems to want to be Blackbird, just like Tim wanted to be. I think that untimately it would take Bruce reaching out to him, calling him son, calking him back to truly break him. I think that Tim would go after Ra’s, pit madness still being a thing. Tim would probably almost kill him because a Ra’s would be caught off guard. Damian would be the one to stop him, to pull him back.
Afterwards, Tim would have a lot to sort through, and still wouldn’t exactly trust Bruce. He’d talk to Jason though. He and Jason would be very close, with Jason helping with a lot of his recovery. Giving constant assurance that he’s ok and that he loves being Blackbird. Tim would be very protective over him. Damian and Tim would get a lot closer too. Damian helping to undo all the conditioning and lies that Tim endured while with the league. Damian understands, and Tim would see that. Given enough time Tim would eventually go back home for good, go back to Bruce. When he finally rejoins the family he’d become a solo vigilante. His name would be Cardinal. A bird representing dead loved ones watching over you.
Bruce “dying” would still happen and I think that Tim would still be the one to figure it out, Damian might be a little skeptical because of Tim’s admittedly less than amazing mental state, but would offer assistance. He’d seen enough people coming back to life to be to sure that it’s impossible, and Jason really likes Tim at this point and wants Bruce back, so he’d be all for it. They’d bring Bruce back together, without the league of assassins, although Tim still finds a way to blow up half of Ra’s bases.
Dick would be like a breath of fresh air after the chaos of the first three. Bruce and the family would go to the circus for bonding. Maybe Tim mentioned seeing a circus performance when he was little, a Bruce wanted something to help Tim get even more comfortable being around him and the family again. They’d see the Flying Graysons fall, and see poor little Dick Grayson crying over the dead bodies of his family and immediately come to a consensus. Dick would get adopted soon after. He wouldn’t become Blackbird very quickly, as Jason still held the mantle, and maybe he wouldn’t at all. Maybe when the family finally deemed him ready to join them as a vigilante, he’d take the name Robin. The older siblings would love Dick and want to protect this boy with endless energy and a wide smile no matter what. Tim now having a strong urge when it comes to protecting his younger brothers because of Ra’s, Damian finally knowing how to big brother (in a very Damian way) at this point, and Jason getting to take care of someone younger than him. All of them would be a strong family unit at this point. And no one could tear them apart again.

Outcast Ch. 28 is up on AO3!
Shouto stomped through the streets of Hosu on his father’s tail in a state of anger and confusion.  Those monsters that were attacking…  They were like the ones from the USJ, but different somehow.  They didn’t seem nearly as powerful as the one that All Might had fought, thankfully, but it was unnerving, nonetheless.  At least this time, he was surrounded by professional heroes rather than his inexperienced classmates.
Still, the situation didn’t sit right with him.  The Endeavor Agency was in Hosu to track down Stain, but instead were spending time fighting monsters thought to be associated with the League of Villains.  He shivered at the thought of the two working together and the havoc they could reap on society.
“Shouto!  Don’t get left behind!” his father called as he stormed ahead, throwing a firey fist at yet another Nomu.  It seemed completely unfazed by the attack, but did fly away to destroy another part of the city.
“After it!” Endeavor called.
A chorus of “Yes, sir” rang out amongst the sidekicks as the pushed onwards after the monsters.  For his part, Shouto hung back, letting the licensed pros push on ahead to do the actual fighting.  After all, even though he was there to learn from them, he didn’t have any form of licensing so it would be very much illegal for him to use his quirk to fight.
He clung to a wall to try and get a better view of the heroes at work when he spotted a ghost of a figure from the corner of his eye.  A civilian, perhaps.  He moved forward, striding cooly in their direction.  He couldn’t exactly fight the villains but assisting in evacuation efforts was well within his duties.
“Excuse me, but you should leave…  Oh, it’s you.”
Shouto stood stock still as the dim firelight illuminated the figure in front of him.  The same person he was desperately hoping to be able to track down was somehow there, standing in front of him in the most unlikely of places.  A spattering of freckles, cropped green hair, deep green eyes that knew too much of the world’s horrors.  It was him.
“T-Todoroki,” Deku squeaked out, glancing around quickly.  “You’re here?”
“Yes,” he breathed.  “I’ve been looking for you.  Not that I thought you’d be here, necessarily.”
“Yeah, what are the odds.”
Deku shuffled a little uncomfortably, stepping back towards an alleyway and out of the light.  Shouto couldn’t exactly blame him from shying away from the battle and the burning city, but part of him ached for the boy to stay.
“I know this isn’t the most opportune time to talk, but I wanted to find you and let you know that you were right.  I was being…  Needlessly obstinate about my powers.  I’m not ready to use my flames all the way just yet, but I have tried to take what you said to heart and learn from it.  I just wanted you to know that what you said made an impact on me.  So, thank you.  For helping me.”

Happy Ending AU
So let's start the expanded lore alternate AU posts with admittedly the most mundane one but also the best guilty pleasure one.
I called it a branch AU on the short post and that's because I go by the theory that there are certain points within the AU where if a single thing went differently it would have entirely different outcomes. One such moment is in regards to the argument that caused the downfall of the 80s Freddy's.
In the Happy Ending AU, the conversation between Pierce and Fred in August of 1987 goes a bit differently than the argument that happens in the main timeline.
Everything's still the same. Pierce was out sick with the flu (let's be real, with his constant lack of sleep/overworking habits and a general disregard for his own health his immune system was just like 'okay you're about to have a real tough time with this'), Fred was still on leave because his twins were just born, and the health/safety inspector that came around was still a no-nonsense woman who had never been sent before. Foxy's still declared dangerous.
In the main AU, Fred comes in specifically to tell Pierce about Foxy with his own ideas of what the plan is and due to exhaustion from recently becoming a father and knowing Pierce is going to take the news badly, he's on guard the whole time and both of them end up saying things that escalate the situation.
In the Happy Ending AU, Fred's still exhausted and on guard but instead of getting frustrated when Pierce suggests he can have revamped Foxy plans prepared in advance so that the time Foxy is decommissioned is shorter, Fred doesn't immediately tell him to basically shut up and do as he says and only worry about Spring Bonnie.
Instead he asks how long it'd take to come up with some workable replacements for the too sharp teeth and hook on Foxy and Pierce tells him he could have a rough idea in a month or two because he's gotta test out what could still be construed as too dangerous himself. Remember these are moving machines Fred, all the motion sensors and gadgets in the world won't do shit if they fall or something.
Fred tells him to work on the plans but to not let it take up all his time since he's still got Spring Bonnie to work on. Then he asks how long it'll take to get Spring Bonnie up and running because it's been a long while and Pierce has been working on it like crazy.
"Maybe by the end of the year, but that's if I keep up with all the rest of the animatronics enough to give me time to work on Spring. If they break in a complicated way or if we have issues with programming it'll cut into that time the way it's been doing. How's the search for another mechanic coming?"
"I can't find anyone. I'm doing my best."
"Yeah. Figured. This might be a longshot but the guy who runs the repair shop I take my bike to has a nephew who's apparently got an eye for electronics. Name's Fritz Smith I think. He was telling me about him last time I was there, I think trying to see if he could get the name out there."
"... I'll look into that."
So yeah, the talk ends amicably and with an actual plan, not just spiteful resentment and stress the way it does in the main story. Fritz Smith, at the time barely out of high school, gets an interview at Freddy's based on the offhand mention of his uncle and gets hired in a trial basis and ends up working part time while still in college. It works out well because remember, the reason Fritz was stressed in the main AU is because Fred was constantly on his case about the failing animatronics and having no assistance to figure out the upgrades left by a mechanic he couldn't contact.
Pierce still is the only one working on Spring Bonnie but once Fritz gets the hang of the different daily maintenance checks and small fixes here and there, Pierce has more time to figure out the last remaining issues with Spring Bonnie and by the middle of January 1988, the diner duo is back in action at Freddy's. The only difference being that they never got the actual gold suit bit fixed because Pierce got the idea that it could be implemented as a story element (he's back, he was hurt for a long time, but he's here now and both old and new characters love him). Fred loved the idea and let him go with it, and with Fritz's help the programming of the diner duo return show was executed flawlessly.
Foxy, who was taken offstage after Finn's sixth birthday party (which went perfectly and no one got hurt), returns in early February of '88 after Fred and Pierce are able to show off Foxy with non-dangerous teeth and hook and prove that unless there were an act of God Foxy couldn't hurt a fly.
In late 1989 for the five year anniversary of this location, the First Mate Finn animatronic used as Foxy's sidekick for the special April Fools' Day show beginning in '87 is made an official part of the lineup.
In '91 an extra security guard (Mike Schmidt) is hired on due to the popularity of Freddy's increasing; talks about finding a larger location are serious.
By the twins 6th birthday in '93, Freddy's has moved to a larger building with more variance in shows. Despite now being 11/12, Finn and Marian are still some of the most well known regulars at Freddy's. Finn has also developed an interest in the animatronics and how they work and both Freddy's mechanics know this well.
There's still tragedy. Maddie Fazbear still is diagnosed with cancer in 1996.
In 1997, Pierce's dad Henry still passes suddenly from a previously unknown heart condition, and with Pierce still around to convince, his mom Jamie tells him he needs to keep up with that kind of check since he lost his dad and grandpa that way. Pierce gets lucky and manages to avoid a problem with this advice. (so how'd he survive in the main au if he wasn't keeping up with this stuff well that's something to be explained later 😎)
Maddie Fazbear still passes away in 1998, even with everything that medicine at the time can do. The family is heartbroken of course- not just immediate family but so many of the people who even just knew of her.
Every year following on her birthday the diner duo play her favorite show song from the original Fredbear's, and every year Fred's still surprised it can hurt that much.
Finn's mom still shows the signs of early onset Alzheimer's beginning in the mid 90s. However, since Finn was never bitten by Foxy, his dad isn't stressed to a point of unawareness due to having both a son who can't remember and a wife beginning to lose her memory and avoids the car crash that would have killed both Patrick and Katherine O'Malley. Finn gets to stay with both his parents which is good, because by 1998 him and Marian (at the time 17/going on 17) have started dating.
By the early 2000s, Finn has started apprenticing at Freddy's to learn how to fix the animatronics because that's his dream. Finn picks it up surprisingly fast, and Fritz, who's been looking for a way to duck out without causing issues, takes this time to respectfully leave Freddy's. He wants to go do his own thing, really, and well, him and longtime boyfriend Mike Schmidt really want to know what the world outside of Spring Valley can bring.
In the mid 2000s, Freddy Jr, now in high school, keeps trying to get a band together. The only kid who shows interest is this kid who Frankie knows from his math class that's called Bonnie. Freddy's skeptical, but Bonnie absolutely kills a guitar solo, and frankly, Freddy's heart is stolen from that moment on, even if he won't say it.
On July 23rd 2005, Fred Fazbear Sr is safe at home with his boys for a monster movie night and doesn't wind up in the accident that takes his life in the main storyline.
Marian and Finn get married in 2007 after dating for over a decade. Everyone's mood is "it's about goddamn time". It's one of the happiest fucking weddings that Spring Valley has ever seen though, that's for sure.
And after that, it's just the rest of the happily ever afters.
Somehow, over all those years, the employees at Freddy's wonder how Pierce was ever the intolerable jackass he's known for being when by the 2010s he's just known as the company grouch.
And Fred never misses a beat with being the best he can be. If anything, he throws more into making Freddy's perfect for families after he loses Maddie since all she ever did was encourage it. She may not have been a constant in the building, but without her love and support, well, what would Freddy's be but a hollow attempt and plea for attention?

Fantasy AU
Damian Wayne: Merlin
A/N: I had to cut paragraphs out of this. Paragraphs. I got so carried away oml...
>>>>—————————>
If you asked about magic in the kingdom of Ravaryn you'd receive contradicting responses, some of fear, others of awe and randomly your name would come up in conversation. The residents reciting legends of 'Merlin' from Camelot - you,  which was mildly amusing but they would visit your lost forest home for favour exchanges and for answers about their future. Despite this you took the time to traverse the kingdoms, gathering knowledge and potion components throughout the nations like Ravaryn but your favourite was most definitely Gotham. Firstly it was where you attained the most business and secondly it had an intriguing form of nightlife, The Dark Knight and the '4 Horsemen' as you liked to call them made sure of that - the 4 being his former sidekicks.
Though when you first arrived in the nation as apart of your personal anonymous Quest you didn’t expect the requester to be Grand Duke Bruce Wayne nor did you foresee ending up contracted to Master Damian Wayne (against his wishes of course). No, due to his confident nature and numerous adventurous quests Bruce would prefer he had a companion as a safety net, who better than a famous powerful mage? Who better than you?
Quests were a way of income, people in dire need would declare their problem on a poster and offer payment for those able to help. They’d take travellers to the farthest reaches of the kingdom but the National Hall in the Capital of Ravaryn was where all requests were sent, an average trek from Gotham. Villages would ask to dispose of a plaguing creature, police ask for assistance in hunting down murderers and the rich would request ancient artefacts. Damian, now a young adult, wanted to help people when the nightly escapades were covered by his family, he did it to reconcile for his past associations, a topic buried in secrets.
Despite every single protest, every single insult, you still walked at the side of Damian as he journeyed through the harsh Congelationis Mountains, infamous for the bone chilling winters all year round. You were hunting a devious frost giant, nasty creatures who plagued forgotten villages on their hunt for human flesh and although you would have to kill it, you’d keep their never-melting crystal horns as medicine ingredients. He was still adamant that you didn’t exist, that is until he tired of your absentminded questions that spilled due to your boredom and when playing with your sparkling displays became a chore.
“No answer, how predicable. Then what’s it like living -“
“Why haven’t you teleported to the top already, you’re perfectly capable street magician!” Damian demanded, halting in his tracks causing you to bump into him.
“Because the journey is the best part of the quest, there’s no fun in skipping to the end or else you miss the story. It becomes meaningless and you learn nothing.”
“...”
You raised your brow at his speechless stature, your answer bewildering to him and you received only a nod. Shockingly, you had managed to complete that mission and were not anticipating the next.
.
You begrudgingly arrived at the Wayne Castle with your bag packed from the Inn, Damian scowling at your presence alone.
“What are you doing here Merlin?”
“Little birdie told me you’re off on a mission, it’s my job to accompany you.”
“I never invited you (l/n).”
“Like I’d chose to go with an arrogant noble like you but unfortunately I’m under contract from your Father so keep up Damian.” You sassily replied, strolling down the stone staircase at the entrance where he followed with displeased arguments.
Slaying dragons? Done it.
Capturing criminals? Easy.
Treasure Hunting for the museums and research centres? Fun.
Your lastest escapade being casting ancient demons back to the pits of Hell after a cult had unwittingly disrespecting their offerings. As you both discussed the quest over a meal in Kent’s Ol’ Tavern, the constant disputes and hateful lack of communication were forgotten as you retold the events to Jon, a friend of Damian’s and son of the Tavern owner. Jon relished in the growing connection and enthusiasm you two shared as you bounced off one another, he’d heard of your adventures before as guests gossiped and apparently you were quite the dynamic team sought after for the most difficult requests. That was something you didn’t foretell either.
So maybe working with a noble brat wasn’t so bad, but to put up with his aggravating personality you might need a pay rise.
.
As time progressed, and the quests you took became uncountable, you consequently grew closer than you’d ever considered. To the point it had you doubting your ability to look into the future - Damian was never seen in yours and yet here you were, you could see part of his but not all of it. Confusing was an understatement, what made him so special to your path in life? Regardless, you requested that Bruce stopped paying you to be his bodyguard as it was no longer such a relationship - this wasn’t a job to you anymore, it was a pleasure and you considered Damian a friend. Besides, the valuable ingredients from your adventures was payment enough.
It occurred to you that Bruce had informed him of this new development, it was the subtle displays that brought such information to your attention. His attitude toward you subconsciously changed knowing that you now chose to be by side rather than being bound by the laws of a contract. You’d even taken up residence in Gotham, for how long he did not know, but having the freedom to randomly drop by your place was appreciated. Whether it be a knock at your door or window, you’d open it to Damian holding out a request slip he thought you’d like - when you went to the Ravaryn National Hall to view the Quest Board he’d skip past higher paying ones, instead ripping down posters offering the most ingredients for you.
“Damian... why are you paying me? What do you want?” Your tone was suspicious, eyeing the pouch of gold he held out to you.
“I’m not paying you witch, it’s half of the reward money. You need to pay rent don’t you?” He scoffed, his rhetorical question ringing true as he gently grasped your hand, placing the pouch into it with a smirk.
Maybe this partnership had escalated further than you thought considering the popularity and endless supply of personal requests you’d received. Many would pay to be the chosen company of Master Damian Wayne yet he refused all of them stating that you were adequate enough. He’d be offended when others would offer to purchase your services but grew adamantly smug when you’d decline and inform them that you had no intention of leaving the famous tag team you’d created.
You’d met his family who told you differently, Dick greeting you with “You must be the amazing Merlin, Damian says you’re irreplaceable (Y/n) so it’s nice to finally meet the first person he thinks highly of.”
They had all heard of your existence even if they hadn’t formally met you, the powerful illusive sorcerer that accompanied Damian in his life threatening travels and a close friend.
On one particular hunt, you sat warming yourself in front of the flame you’d concocted and delved into each other’s private lives. You’d learned he was the son of Talia Al Ghul and spent half of his life as an assassin for the League, in exchange you explained how you’d ended up with the nickname ‘Merlin’. It was no secret you found contentment in each other’s presence nor was it odd to see you together outside of your journeys - in fact it was stranger to see you alone.
.
Tonight was no different, Bruce was throwing an extravagant gala in hopes of providing the opportunity for his sons to find partners they deemed eligible. It wasn’t really the type of activity Damian or his brothers relished in but Bruce at least wanted one grandchild and to see them live happily ever after.
Currently you were searching for Damian amidst the flowing gowns and bustling crowds of sweet giggles that painfully rang in your eardrums, it wasn’t until you’d reached the castle gardens that you found him - though you certainly weren’t the first there. A horde of glamorous females shamelessly flirted with him, the sweet, innocent princesses obviously hoping to become his future duchess - the hair twirling, batting of eyelashes and lingering touches sparking a few colourful explosions on your fingertips. However, witnessing the exasperated flash in Damian’s irises stirred amusement despite his contrasting fake smiles and polite(ish) attitude towards them. How much fun you could have~
A low deathly growl sounded from behind Damian and the group of women, the male instinctively alert at the familiar threatening warning from creatures you’d fought before. His brothers may have to assist if he couldn’t dispose of the creature before it reached the castle, carefully constructive tactics raced through his mind as he gazed up at the snarling beast. The flurry of princesses released gut wrenching screams, squirrelling away leaving Damian to fend off a terrifying dangerous Dragon with scales darker than blackest night yet shimmered as brilliantly as diamond under moonlights kiss as it curled it’s tail around his perimeter. The Prince much to your surprise seemed unimpressed once taking in the threat, offering his signature “-TT-“ as he met the Dragons glowing crimson gaze and raised a brow.
“I could handle them.” A simple statement, but it told you everything you needed to know so with a tornado of (f/c) mist surrounding you, your form morphed back to your original form. You took a few steps to meet Damian’s side as the smoke dispersed around your feet and crossed your arms. He flicked to you, looking your figure up down and finding it appealing to the eyes, he was incredibly lucky to call you his companion in all honesty and the beautifully flattering black gown/suit you wore was simply magical, almost comparing to the scales that once decorated you. Almost.
“How’d you know it was me?”
“I’m offended you’d think I wouldn’t after all the time we’ve spent together, I know you’re capable of changing your form. And that is not how the story goes (L/n).”
“I like my version better, the dragon saves the Prince from devious princesses. Captivating if I do say so myself.” A pleased grin remained in your lips as you turned to a genuinely amused Damian.
“Agreed. Now, if you’re my companion on our quests then surely a ball is no different (l/n).” His gaze shifted to you once more, offering his arm as an escort.
“I suppose not Damian, but if by some mysterious miracle a report of a dangerous monster lingering outside of town appears... we should attend to that.” You innocently shrugged, linking your arm with his but Damian detected the underlying mischievousness in your voice and played along accordingly.
“Report of a monster hm? We should inform Father immediately.”
“Hey, give it 5 minutes. I would like to have one dance since I’m all dressed up.”
“I’d be much obliged, then we’ll find a better way to spend our time.” He automatically assigned himself your dance partner, no else would be deemed good enough for you by his standards anyway.
“You mean find the ‘monster’.” Your free hand quoting the last word as you corrected him.
“Exactly.”
.
So maybe you couldn’t see your future as long as you stayed with Damian, but the unknown certainly seemed appealing as long as it was spent with him. Although there was so much you didn’t know about your intertwining destinies...

Origin
Eddie Bloomberg had the good fortune of being a gopher in his Aunt Marla Bloom's film company. He met the Blue Devil on a film set, and became quite a fan of the hero, dreaming about one day becoming Blue Devil's sidekick.
Bloomberg snuck into Blue Devil's workshop at night and, using his prodigious knowledge of electronics, created a battle suit incorporating the designs of the Blue Devil suit. Even though Blue Devil didn't want a sidekick, Bloomberg was determined to make a go at being a hero. As Kid Devil he assisted his hero in foiling an airplane hijacking, and later helped defeat one of his enemies, the Vanquisher. After these adventures, his parents left Bloomberg's education and supervision to professors at the Institute of Hypernormal Conflict Studies.
After Blue Devil's deal with the demon Neron resulted in Bloomberg's Aunt Marla dying in a helicopter crash, Bloomberg attempted to live up to her name and succeed in the movie business. His attempts failed, however, and Bloomberg continued to have adventures as Kid Devil, even helping Young Justice's assault on Zandia.
Tumblr media
Teen Titans
After Infinite Crisis, Bloomberg tried to join the Teen Titans with little success. Pulsar helped Bloomberg into a project Lex Luthor had been using to give normal humans superpowers. However, Bloomberg failed because of "psychological problems." One evening, Bloomberg was visited by a cloaked figure who gave him a candle. Bloomberg's then-friend Zachary Zatara told him that the candle had some magical properties. Bloomberg decided to light it, and the two were taken to Neron. Neron made a deal with Bloomberg, transforming him into a new Kid Devil. Neron's magic gave Bloomberg a new, demonic appearance and inherent superpowers. As part of the deal, Bloomberg wouldn't lose his soul to Neron if he could still trust Blue Devil by his 20th birthday. Before Bloomberg left, Neron told him that it was Blue Devil's fault his Aunt Marla died. Zatara helped Bloomberg join the Teen Titans, they battled Kid Crusader and Zatara promised to keep his secret.
Tumblr media
One Year Later
One Year Later, a rift had formed between Bloomberg and Zatara. Though Bloomberg was still friendly with Zatara, the boy magician wanted nothing to do with Bloomberg or any of the other Titans. Bloomberg also forged a bond with Rose Wilson, as both new members felt like third string Titans. For many months, Bloomberg told the Titans of multiple daily phone calls to Blue Devil as his way of confirming that "everything is fine".
On a Titans mission, Bloomberg was disemboweled by Plasmus and the EMTs were unable to help him. The new Doom Patrol arrived and took Kid Devil to their HQ for treatment, where the Chief healed Bloomberg , while also attempting to manipulate him into joining the Doom Patrol. During the operation, the Chief revealed to Elasti-Girl that Kid Devil isn't truly a demon by nature, but rather his powers are the result of metahuman gene manipulation. Robin confronted Bloomberg about his relationship with the Blue Devil, who claimed not to have heard from Bloomberg for two years. Bloomberg confessed he was only pretending, in order to better fit in with the Titans. The Chief's manipulation was stopped by both the Titans and the other members of the Doom Patrol, which made Bloomberg feel as if he was finally accepted as a Titan since they stood up for him. He also tried rekindling his bond with Blue Devil, but Cassidy did not show up to a meeting Bloomberg invited him to. Later, Eddie Bloomberg found and confronted Blue Devil. Cassidy admitted lying to Bloomberg about his aunt's death. As part of a deal for gaining fame and fortune, Cassidy was tasked by Neron to destroy an unmanned power plant. Despite his various precautions, a resulting power surge accidentally killed Bloom, who was scouting the nearby area for a film. Bloomberg stormed off before Cassidy could explain further, telling Blue Devil to stay far away from him. Now having lost his trust in Blue Devil, Bloomberg knew that he would lose his soul to Neron. Still, Bloomberg decided to make the best of his remaining years by having a good time with his friends. He comforted himself by saying at least he had Bloom's memory and Neron couldn't take that away from him. However, it is revealed that Neron is holding Bloom's soul captive.
Kid Devil was attacked by Kid Crusader who vowed to "save" him from Neron by turning Eddie back into a human and then killing him. Kid Crusader appeared to have succeed on the first step, when he exorcised the demon from Bloomberg and returned him to his human form, but the demon was then bound to Kid Crusader himself. When given the choice later to either return to his demonic form or stay human, Bloomberg chose his demonic form, not wishing to damn anyone else to his fate as Neron's protege.
Tumblr media
Titans Tomorrow
Possible-future versions of the current Titans team arrived in the present to aid the Teen Titans against Starro-controlled villains. Kid Devil is shown as part of the team, now known as Red Devil. He claimed that even though the loss of his soul to Neron at 20 was bad, the power he received far outweighed the consequences. Bloomberg initially watched as Ravager battled alone against Rampage & Livewire, before betraying his older self in order to aid Ravager. Later, Ravager, Red Devil and Kid Devil returned to the Titan's Lair, where they meet with Blue Beetle. There Bloomberg learned that he is supposedly destined to murder the Blue Beetle at some point in the future.
Shortly after, Eddie, Rose and Jaime find themselves surrounded by an Army of Titans led by Lex Luthor, before they all battle against an invading army of Starros. Thanks in large part to Blue Beetle's powers and Robin and Wonder Girl managing to supposedly alter Robin's future, the Army of Titans is supposedly defeated. However, prior to his vanishing, Red Devil warns Eddie against trusting Ravager and Blue Beetle.
Tumblr media
Terror Titans
A Group of supervillains under the leadership of the new Clock King began a systematic assault on the Titans. With Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, Ravager and Robin away, Miss Martian still reeling from the battle with her future counter-part, Eddie decides to throw a party in Titans Tower and invites several titans fans. The party quickly gets out of hand when the guests trash the place, go through personal items and prank calls Batman. Lectured by all members of the team, Eddie goes into town with one of the guests, who reveals himself to be Dreadbolt, son of Bolt. A fight ensues and the arrival of the rest of the Terror Titans puts a quick end to the battle. Kid Devil is next shown chained to a wall and severely injured and held captive by the Clock King who continues to torture Eddie by telling him that Rose Wilson couldn't care less about his status. Clock King then encourages Eddie to accept his place as a monster. Whe Miss Martian is captured by the villains, she is placed into a room with Eddie, who has become savage and bestial as a result of his beatings. After a brief battle, Eddie and M'Gann are placed in a cell, and Eddie is later brought out to face Hardrock to the death.
Later Eddie was finally freed and helped his friends combat against the Terror Titans. Since then he has become more comfortable on the team has begun to develop a good relationship with Blue Beetle and even changed his name to Red Devil.
Tumblr media
Fun Facts
Early in his career as Kid Devil, Eddie became pen pals with Jason Todd when Jason also had only recently started his superhero career as Robin.

Jim was debuted before reporters but when his glass tube was uncovered he promptly burst into flames, the Horton Cells exposure to oxygen caused this reaction and also caused the people to cry out for the Android's destruction. Instead Horton buries Hammond underground with the intention of recovering his creation later, however after several years a crack had formed in the Torches concrete prison and oxygen reacted with Jim’s body allowing him to burst into flames once more, and so he escaped. Jim spent the next years using his powers to help people, he fights in WWll with the Invaders. Jim is deactivated or destroyed throughout the comics, and comes back by being rebuilt or reactivated. Jim takes in Toro as his ward after the boy is orphaned. Throughout the years Jim tries to find his place in humanity, he serves on different teams and becomes CEO of Oracle Inc. He also joins SHIELD. As of the comic Squadron Supreme (2016) #14 Jim’s torch powers were taken away and he has since called himself the Human Reactor in reference to a second set of powers he gained over the years that remained when he could no longer produce flames.
Comic Fact: In the comics it was revealed that Jim Hammond was the one who killed Hitler during WWll by using his flame powers. Jim Hammond also was part of the first crossover in comic history when he battled Namor the Sub-Mariner in Marvel Mystery Comic (1939) #8. Jim loves cats and often adopts them.

Bio: Toro’s parents were assistants of Professor Horton, The Human Torch visits the family for information and later Toro’s parents are targeted and killed in a train wreck.

During Avengers/Invaders Toro is revealed to be a Mutant and thus the reason for him being able to create flames was because his mutant gene was activated early, before then only explanation for his abilities was exposure to the ‘Horton cells’. He is revived in Avengers/Invaders by Bucky Barnes who using the Cosmic Cube to bring his friend back to life. Toro then goes on trying to make a new life for himself in the future, he is reunited with his old friend the Original Human Torch. As of the comic All New Invaders, Toro is now an Inhuman and his abilities are being able to create and manipulate chemical and elemental transformations in his body and the air around him.

Toro has more in common with Johnny Storm than he does with Jim since he also received his powers by accident and unintentionally. As the youngest member of his group he is often seen as too young or immature, his fiery personality and quick come backs make it hard for him to keep his cool when it comes to decision making. Toro looks up to Jim as a father figure and as a friend.

Town of Phoenix Concet
A new series I’ll be writing soon.
<Town of the Phoenix>
In the country of Easifa (storm), there’s a tale of a peaceful town that worshipped a fire bird as their goddess. Thanks to their worship, the goddess bestowed the power of flames upon their bloodline. The elder of this town knew that the royal families would not approve of this revelation and implored his citizens to keep it a secret. But the younger generation disagreed, it’s not like they were doing anything wrong with these powers. They could protect Easifa from foreign threats. The elder was right and the royal families were afraid of these powers. The country was a place of mysticism but never have they ever been able to use the powers of a goddess. What if one of these citizen defect and an enemy country obtains these powers?
The royal families sent thousands upon thousands of soldiers to this city to slaughter all of its residents. The goddess, distraught by the death of her followers blamed herself for bestowing them these powers, went into a state of depression and disappeared. The royal families proclaimed that should any survive resident of this town be discovered, they will be labeled children of evil and slaughtered.
300 years later and easifa is now a country with immense wealth and riches but looks to make up for their sins of the past. Unfortunately they are plagued by Creatures such as jinn (ghosts) and Raeb (blood suckers). A young farm hand named Cain discovers that he can summon the Phoenix Goddess Fire. Cain becoming curious about his past starts looking for answers when a near death experience causes him to meet the goddess herself Homura. She asks him to find her destroyed home and return her spirit to her temple. After some reluctance, he accepts. He journeys throughout Easifa with his Best friend and jinn hunter in training Dalia (A charming girl with a hidden bloodlust), her tiger cub pet Amyr and a man who says he collects souls named Mahaz. His powers capture the attention of the Militia. Who send two of his old friends, Lt. Rekka and his younger sister Rubina… (the also have a pet lemur named Sparx) who are determined to figure out of their old friend is a danger or a hero to Easifa that they were looking for.

Chapter 1 (Always and forever and in-between)
"To be understood is to prostitute oneself" 
— Fernando Pessoa 
Song Muse “Just the girl by the click five”
The hierarchy was something to be reckoned upon in tree hill generally and tree hill high specifically; that was the reason Nathan Royal Scott, star shooting guard for the tree hill ravens, son of the infamous loaded Dan Scott and boyfriend of the ever popular cheerleader Peyton Sawyer felt entitled. That was of course before his illegitimate half-brother Lucas turned things around, securing himself a spot in Nathan’s basketball team, and aiming for his girlfriend.
That was why he needed to bring Lucas down a notch or two, and that was where Haley James came into the picture.
Haley James was Lucas’s best friend, has been since they were eight years old, and if she weren’t Nathan probably would have never noticed- nor given her the time of day. She was an over achiever, with the best GPA in the school, a tutor to people doing less than well in school and an employee in Karen’s café- Lucas mother’s Cafe . In short, a nerd, so the idea of her and Nathan crossing paths was highly unlikely.
Until Nathan saw her with peripheral vision as he looked over at Lucas, the girl was so tiny; he felt as though she could fit into his pocket, with a smile too big for this world.
“Hey who is that girl he is always hanging out with?” Nathan asked his own best friend and sidekick Tim.
“Who knows? Why you feel like slumming?” said Tim jokingly, Nathan scrunched up his nose in mock indignation and shoved Tim playfully- as if that would ever happen.
Still his father’s words rang in his head ‘If someone isn’t on his side then they are his opponent, the only way to deal with an opponent is to identify their weaknesses and attack them’
Nathan fully intended to exploit Lucas’ weak points. He followed Tim to their next class.
###
Haley was walking out of the tutor center when she heard someone whispering her name loudly. She stopped dead in her tracks, school was deserted; students had gone home but she stayed later than usual to go through some notes, she had prepared for a D+ student she was tutoring.
“Psst, Hales!” the voice called again and she looked around.
Lucas’ head was peeking out the door of an empty classroom.
“Luke?”
“I need help” said Lucas through gritted teeth.
She moved closer “Wow! Wow! Damn it Lucas. My eyes! What happened?”
Her friend was stark naked, aside from two basketballs giving him some coverage. He looked absolutely pissed. “What do you think happened? Guess who took my clothes in the locker room?”
She sighed loudly; Nathan Scott was the epitome of scum.
“Well?”
“Well what?” Haley asked confused.
“I need clothes!”
“I would be very happy to help you Luke, but I am still wearing mine, and I don’t think they would even fit you”
“Very funny” Lucas dead-panned “just help”
He pushed himself back into the classroom and shut the door.
“So how exactly did that happen?” Haley asked fifteen minutes later, she had run to his house, grabbed something for him to wear and returned to school in record timing
“I took some extra time in the shower” Lucas explained as they walked away together “I came out and all my clothes were gone”
“Enter your savior” she said, giving a fake courtesy.
Lucas chuckled, throwing an arm around Haley. “Well, your damsel in distress is eternally grateful”
###
The tutor center was a place Nathan hasn’t gone to before, but there he was; a paper assigning Haley to be his tutor in his hand. When he signed up, there had been four other tutors available to help him, but he insisted on Haley. That way he was hitting two birds with one stone; first, he actually did need assistance with his grades, if he didn’t improve, he would end up working in his father’s dealership, and second, he would be messing with Lucas big time and that was the best part.
“Hey!” Nathan smiled sweetly as he walked through the door, moving closer to Haley didn’t make her seem any bigger.
Haley stared in what seemed to be confusion and resentment for a split second, before asking “Can I help you?”
“I hope so, you are my tutor”
She eyed him from head to foot before laughing cynically and looking away “Right! I don’t think so”
“You are Haley James, right?” He confirmed, looking down at the paper in his hand. Haley was quick to grab it, huffing in annoyance, and then she saw her name. Perfect, that was just perfect. She was already doing all she could to be a professional and not tell him off for what he was doing to Lucas.
“I am sorry” said Haley “I am best friends with Lucas”
“Well then I am sorry too” joked Nathan.
“Forget it, I will find you someone else” said Haley dismissively.
She attempted to step out when Nathan’s lean form blocked her way “Whoa! Whoa! Look! Look! There is nobody else; I would be fine with it if there was”
“If there were” corrected Haley.
“See you are helping me already”
“Look I can’t help you and on top of that I won’t help you, okay?”
Haley quickly walked away but not before spotting a confused frown crossing his face. He was flabbergasted in fact; it usually took him a much lesser dose of puppy-dog eyes to get what he wanted from a girl.
“Wait” he chased after her and had barely grabbed her arm, before she jerked it away from him, quickly he raised a hand “Sorry, sorry, look I don’t understand”
“Then you do need help, because I made myself loud and clear, I will not help you”
“But Ms. whatever her name is, told me you were available to tutor me”
“Ms. Mckee” she rolled her eyes.
“Right”
“I never said that I didn’t have time. I said I refuse to help you” she spoke every word slowly as though he were an idiot.
“Why?”
“Why?!!” she looked at him in disbelief “How about I make your life miserable in every single way possible, and then you will know why!”
“I don’t even know you”
“Yes, but I know Lucas, and I know what you did to him in the locker room”
Nathan stifled a laugh, she flared her nose “and see there it is, now, excuse me, I need to go”
“No, wait” his face turned serious “Sorry, I just…”
But she was already out the door.
Agitated by his very presence, Haley was thankful the day was over, she all but stomped her way home. He was a major-insufferable-up to no good- jerk and he had every word she said coming, strutting around like he owned the world. Figured he was Dan Scott’s son, though underneath the façade Haley could almost spot remnants of a human being, she almost felt bad; actually she felt terrible; so terrible that her heart ached. Something about him seemed so innocent, young even; she guessed that if he were to murder someone, convicting him was highly unlikely. After all who could suspect the charming boy with bright blue eyes and a coy smile?
“No” she whispered to herself.
On the other hand, Nathan was still scratching his head in confusion; never has any girl talked to him that way, even before his rapid rise to popularity, girls seemed to take an interest in him, he found that out at fourteen when a smoking hot senior, Taylor, pulled him into his room at his parent’s beach house and slept with him, he hadn’t even initiated it. In fact, as he remembered it, he was incredibly nervous, but that seemed to make him even more desirable, adding to the fact that it was also a party held in honor of him joining the varsity team; that was an epic night.
Then there was Peyton, he got to know her shortly after and they talked a lot, soon enough he asked her to be his girlfriend, and they were happy, ‘were’ being the keyword. She was too much, always irritable, cranky and melancholic, so what if he hung out with his friends? She didn’t expect him to devote every waking moment to her. As well as the fact that she was crushing on Lucas, that on its own made his blood boil, she was his girlfriend. During their latest fight they were in his car and she was acting like a total bitch, she threw a fit and decided to walk home; in a beat Nathan threw her pompoms out the window and left her on the side of the street. Sure they were alright now, as alright as it can get anyway, he likes Peyton, she is his girl and the sex is amazing but if she was going to be like that, then he didn’t need the added drama. Which brought him back to Haley, he actually felt ashamed at being scorned by her, he knew he should have retorted, but something about her demanded his respect and he was willing to give it to her; that was new.
###
“You wanted to see me, Mr. Kelly”
“Yes, please, come in Mr. Scott” the teacher peered at him over his glasses.
Nathan moved closer standing at the teacher’s desk, a test held tightly in his hand with a big ‘F’ marked boldly in red.
“So, if this is about my grade…”
“Yes, Mr. Scott, it is in fact about your grade, I assume you are aware that you need to maintain a certain grade point average to be able to participate in any athletic activities”
Nathan rolled his eyes, and spoke through gritted teeth “Yes”
“And you are falling behind, I am afraid you might not be able to play basketball anymore if you don’t turn it around”
“I know” Nathan said annoyed.
“Perhaps you could try tutoring; we have some fine students who are more than willing to help”
He didn’t attempt to even hide his sneer.
The teacher sighed and spoke softly “Listen, Nathan, I know that a young man in your position might find it embarrassing to ask for help, but it beats the alternative, that is if you want to keep your position on the team. You do want that don’t you?”
Nathan nodded briefly.
“Then I think you should go to the tutor center right away, it is the seventh room on your left” he pointed out the door. Nathan grabbed his test, and made for the door.
“If you could” Mr. Kelly interrupted, making him turn around “see if Miss Haley James is available to tutor you, she is quite promising and I am not supposed to show favoritism, but I must admit, she is the best”
Without a word, Nathan clenched his jaw and headed to the tutor center. Not only did Lucas take his spot as shooting guard on the team and his girlfriend’s affections, he was indirectly stealing his entire basketball future all together.
“Hey” Nathan walked in with a melancholic expression “I just wanted to let you know I will be fine”
“Great” responded Haley, carelessly.
“I mean F is for fine, right?”
He lifted his test briefly to show her the grade before turning around and walking away. Haley could only stare after him mouth agape in shock, she stood that way a little, before rolling her eyes and shrugging, what was she supposed to do?
“You could tutor him” a small voice in her head whispered. But she pushed that thought away quickly, it didn’t matter how sincere he looked.
###
He highly doubted that there would never be a sound that aggravated him more than his father talking to him about basketball. Nathan loved the game, the rush and the crowd’s adoration, but when it came to Dan Scott, everything between him and his son was about sports, whether it be his next game, his faulty (according to his father) techniques or how unlikely it was to beat the older man’s score from when he was in high school. Nathan was sure he could do it, but it really hurt his feelings that his dad seemed to think so little of him.
“So how did it go?” Dan Scott asked “with practice”
Nathan shrugged “I am small forward”
“And what did you do about that?”
“What do you want me to do dad?”
“I told you, I want you to eliminate the competition” Dan stated firmly.
“You mean your son?” said Nathan venomously.
“Don’t call him that”
“I am going upstairs” he said quietly, walking out of the room. His father already had too many high hopes on him being the star athlete, he would go insane if he were to know that Nathan might have to be forced to leave the team because of grades all together, that was a school rule and even Dan would have a hard time switching it around in their favor like he does.
He drew a shuddering breath as he laid down on the couch, picking up the phone, Haley’s number was inscribed on the paper where she had been assigned as his tutor, it was Karen café’s number, where she worked, she had thought it useless to use her house number since she was hardly there unless at late hours of the night when people shouldn’t even be calling. It rang a couple of times before she picked up.
“Karen’s café” she answered.
“I am calling for Haley James”
“Yeah, this is her”
“Hey! It’s Nathan Scott” he sighed, Nathan had planned to apologize for whatever he had done, and to ask her for help once again, perhaps this time she would be yielding “I really need your help”
“Sorry, this isn’t her”
She hung up the phone on him quickly, not even allowing him to get a word in edgewise. Nathan put the phone down dejected, she had turned him down too many times so far, yet, he continued allowing himself be treated like a doormat. Heck, he wasn’t proud of it but he was sure he would try again.
“What was that?” Karen, who was standing at the cash register, asked her.
“Uh, wrong number” improvised Haley.
“But you just said ‘this was her’. Did you forget your name?”
Haley chuckled softly, hoping they could avert from the subject, however she still felt Karen’s eyes bore into the back of her head.
“What’s up?”
The girl turned around, struggling to find the proper words to explain, ‘the son of your ex-husband (the one who abandoned you and your child) is asking me to tutor him, oh and by the by, he has been bullying Lucas relentlessly. However now I am on the edge of caving and agreeing to it because he has a distressed quality that is tugging on my heartstrings’ didn’t seem proper, so instead she said “This…guy… wants me to tutor him and I said no ‘cause he is kind of a bad guy”
Karen raised her eyebrows “You know him?”
Haley was silent for a beat, feeling slightly ashamed “Not really, I just know of him” she answered, avoiding Karen’s gaze, by pretending to clean the counter.
“Dangerous?” pushed Karen.
“No” said Haley, curling her lips and trying to act nonchalant, she caught Karen with a skeptical expression “What you got that look?”
“What look?” asked Karen, playing dumb.
“The look that my mom always gets when she wants to throw her two cents in, What?” replied Haley sheepishly, gesturing for an explanation.
“Well, Haley, I think you have pretty good instincts. I am not trying to tell you what to do” Which meant she was “but just to play devil’s advocate, if this boy came for tutoring, maybe he’s trying to change”
Haley opened her mouth for a second, unable to find counter words, she sighed heavily; her logic had been defeated. Karen moved closer, placed two cents on the counter and said “Might be something in there worth saving” before walking away.
They younger girl, bit her lips uncertainly, the idea of saving Nathan Scott in anyway seemed farfetched.
###
It was a beautiful day, the sun shone brighter than ever, birds were chirping, and a gentle breeze ruffled the tree leaves around her. Yet, Haley sat fuming. She had her first tutoring session with Nathan, having finally agreed to doing it the night prior, right after he kidnapped Lucas to humiliate him and throw his phone away, and she loved Luke, he was like a brother to her, even more so than her actual brothers, so after a few tears, she went over to Nathan’s house and decided to stop him once and for all; her way. When he answered the door, he was definitely surprised to see her, it even came more as a shock when she told him she would tutor him, Nathan was absolutely sure she wouldn’t after Lucas told her. So, he was more than gleeful, even readily accepting her two conditions; first, Lucas doesn’t know, and second, he leaves him alone. Both seemed like a fair price, and he was more than happy to pay. As she left, Nathan stood there watching her for a few seconds, a sincere smile on his face, she was kind of cute.
Haley had the textbooks already out as she fidgeted on the bench, most of her sessions took place in school, but due to the anonymity of the situation, she had told him to meet her at the dock, take it or leave it.
“Breakfast of champions; want some?” said Nathan as he walked up to her and placed two cups of latte and a box of cracker jack on the table.
“You are late” Haley didn’t spare him a glance as he sat down.
He tore into the box of snacks, fishing for the prize and said “Oh! Please let this be a cheat sheet”. Instead he pulled out a plastic beaded colorful bracelet, the kind she used to make with her mother and sisters when she was five. Nathan looked between her and the bracelet a few times hesitantly, then smiled shyly and declared “It’s for you”
“Stop it, it’s just…”
“Come on” he interrupted, sliding the bracelet on her hand smoothly “Don’t say I never gave you anything”
He looked too pleased with himself, and Haley grabbed a textbook “Do you see this book? Because this book is me, I am math”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he still smiled.
“It’s supposed to mean, you can work your whole, I am Nathan Scott, Mr. big shot, scoring my touchdowns on somebody else, because I don’t think..”
“I don’t even play football” he said ludicrously.
“Whatever” she replied dismissing him “at the end of the day all your bluster and BS don’t mean anything to Math, because Math don’t care and neither do I”
“Well, does English care? Because I really suck at that too”
“Please don’t waste my time” she spoke as patiently as she could muster “I am already taking a huge chance on you because my instincts are screaming that you are full of sh…”
Nathan stifled a smile, looking down and nodding his head, trying to keep on a serious mature facial expression.
“Let’s just get started, okay?” suggested Haley in the most patient way she could muster, and he smiled again, his eyes gleaming “Page 81”
No sooner had Nathan looked at the book that Haley had to stifle her own laugh, his nose scrunched up in total confusion, as he read the problem out loud, frowning deeper with each word. “A class average mark in an exam is 70. The average of students who scored below 60 is 50. The average of students who scored 60 or more is 75. If the total number of students in this class is 20, how many students scored below?”
Haley was waiting for him to finish when he looked up and said “You know if I understood any of this, we wouldn’t be here right now”
She huffed out a laugh, reaching for her pencil, as she slowly explained the problem, eliciting theories he could remember and offering up the ones he couldn’t. Turned out, Nathan was actually quite smart, just needed to understand every step before he could be convinced to answer and it only took them around half an hour before he was answering summation notation problems mostly on his own. The way his face lit up with joy, actually made her smile sincerely, as he took on another problem without her asking.
Soon enough they were talking, though at first shortly and formally on her side at least, she found he armor breaking slightly and caught herself enjoying his company, his playful attitude made her laugh a few times. After they were done, he looked up at her and smiled brightly, this time, she smiled back.
“Thank you, Haley, really.”
She nodded curtly, collecting her things “I will see you next time then”
“Whoa! Whoa! Wait” he got up hurriedly “There was no way; I could solve whatever gibberish was in that book”
Haley cocked an eyebrow “and?” she asked suspiciously.
“And I am buying you ice cream”
“Nathan…” she sighed.
“Look it isn’t just for you, I like ice-cream and we have to celebrate this milestone, plus the fact that we have been together for two hours and you haven’t screamed at me” his eyes were practically dancing and she chortled at his barely contained excitement, agreeing to one scoop before they parted ways.
“So how long have you been at tree hill high?”
“All my life” she laughed.
Nathan frowned, racking his brain; he whispered “Why can’t I remember you?”
Haley raised her eyebrows in disbelief, though still smiling “Wow! Nathan Scott didn’t know who I was? My mediocre reputation has been compromised”
He swiftly corrected “No, No, I didn’t mean it like that, I swear, I just meant that…” he caught Haley staring at him with eyes narrowed mockingly “I should just stop talking before I make a total ass of myself”
“Good idea”
They arrived at a nearby ice cream parlor in silence, she saw Nathan digging for his wallet and asking her “What do you want?”
“It’s okay, I will pay” she rolled her eyes “You already got me breakfast and the bracelet.
“Who invited who for ice-cream?” he asked bewildered.
“Fine” Haley sighed “mint chocolate chip”
“Cone?”
“Waffle”
“Excuse me, two mint chocolate chip ice-creams, waffle cones” he handed the man the money, and grabbed the cones as soon as the man scooped the ice-cream “There you go”
“Thank you” said Haley, savoring her treat, and making satisfied sounds “mmm, mint chocolate chip is heavenly”
“Yes it is” he whispered inaudibly, staring at her with a gleam in his eyes
“What are you looking at?” she snapped him out of his thoughts, jokingly, she had finished her entire cone in record timing “That is the only proper way to eat mint chocolate chip ice cream”
“You want mine” he offered, dangling half his eaten cone, in front of her face.
“Nah! it’s okay” she said, clearly wanting it.
“Here, I saved it for you”
“I couldn’t”
“I want you to have it”
He chuckled, when she grabbed it suddenly, saying a quick thank you and shoving her face in it.
They said goodbye shortly afterwards and parted ways. As Haley walked home, she felt a tiny trickle of melted ice cream on the corner of her lips, wiping it away, she caught a whiff of the earthy sandalwood scent of Nathan’s cologne, still lingering faintly on her new bracelet, she wouldn’t admit it but she smelled it all the way there, and a little after that.

Love to me is when I’m better because you’re here. (Part 2)
Credit to @toxsfandomstuff
Based on: https://toxsfandomstuff.tumblr.com/post/178037560969/hewocan-i-request-a-todoroki-imagine-where-his
I just want to say thank you for writing this and for getting me out of my slump. I also apologize for its similarity.
Shoto Todoroki x Female Reader (Y/N)
Part 2/???
---
A couple of weeks passed and the date for the party was coming up soon. Meaning the stress was definitely piling on to make sure everything was in tip-top shape. You noticed yourself not feeling well, but figured you could continue going to work and to just fight through it. You were pretty sure it was stress from the late nights preparing for the banquet ceremony. Then the fever hit, that’s when you decided it was best just to work from home to make sure no one else got sick.
 Shoto always looked forward coming to work and seeing you at your desk. He always had a crush on you, but had always watched you from a far because he was just never sure how to approach you. He didn’t know how to have a conversation with you that wouldn’t end in an awkward silence.
But now that he had already asked you to the party, everything just felt easier. Like all of his worries had washed away and the pressure was gone. You two were able to talk like you were always friends. He loved getting to know you and making you smile.
Coming into work, you weren’t at your desk. Endeavor’s personal secretary, Violette, was. Normally your desk was crowded with different interns and heroes just talking and getting help. Everyone avoided her gaze except for Shoto, since he knew her personally.
“Hey, where’s Y/N?”
“She’s working from home today.” She replied not looking up from her computer, “Says she has a fever.”
“Ah.”
“Yes, and since I have you here, your father-“
“I’m taking a personal day.” He responded taking his phone out to text you.
“I’m sorry?”
His mind was set. He wanted to take care of you since you do such a good job taking care of everyone, he wanted to help you out. “Tell Endeavor I’m taking a personal day, if I can’t take a personal day, I’m taking a sick day. I know I have enough hours saved up. Goodbye Violetta, I’ll see you tomorrow.” And just like that he skipped out on work and was on his way to your place.
Texts:
Todo: “What’s your address?”
You: Don’t worry about me, I’ll be back tomorrow. I don’t want you getting in trouble.
Todo: “I’m the boss, I’ll be just fine. Plus Endeavor is here, no problem.”
You felt your face get hot, Todoroki was really coming over to your apartment and it was not in any shape ready for anyone but you and your cat to see it. Your phone went off again.
Todo: “Address?”
You take in a sharp inhale and releasing the breath you text him back.
You: -insert address here-
Todo: Thanks Y/N, I’ll see you soon.
You could hear him saying your name and it made you blush. You really liked this stupid man. And the more time you guys spent together the more you liked him and came to term with your feelings that yes, if you can, you will date your boss. And he must like you some bit too. Obviously.
You’re typing away making a list for the interns to give to the hero/sidekick interns when your phone goes off. It’s Shoto. You feel your face get warmer and your heart beat faster. You answer it.
“Hi, uhm, Shoto.” You blush, still not used to just calling him by his first name.
“Hey, I’m at your apartment building.”
“Oh yeah, I’ll ring you in. I’m on the third floor in apartment 34.”
“Okay and I brought you some chicken noodle soup.”
“Oh t-thank you.” You respond walking over to your buzzer, buzzing him in, unlocking the door, and taking a seat on the couch with your computer, draping a blanket over your lap. “I left the door unlocked for you.”
“Sounds good, I’m almost there.”
You turn on the smart TV going into Netflix. You hear his footsteps arriving at your door and watching the door open, you see his white hair as he enters your apartment. He smiles softly at you as he closes his phone and shuts the door behind him.
A smile instinctively just appears on your face and you immediately feel better now that he’s here. “I see you found the place quite easily.”
“Yeah, I just mapped it. No big deal.”
You watched from the couch as he took his shoes off. This boy was looking good wearing a black v-neck, a red flannel, and some nice fitted jeans. While there you were looking like a slump in your pajamas. You couldn’t believe that he was here. Let alone skipped out on work to be here with you.
“Oh, who’s this fella?”
Your cat had gotten off from his spot on the couch and immediately walked over to Todoroki and was rubbing against his legs.
“That’s my cat, Anton. It seems like he really likes you.”
“He’s cute.”
“I know he gets it from his mom.” You give a chuckle as you take your eyes off him to finish up your email.
You hear Todoroki give a slight chuckle. “I’m just gonna warm up some soup for you okay?”
“Sure, the bowls, will be in the cabinet next to the stove, and please help yourself to anything here.”
He gives a nod. You put something on Netflix that you’ve seen a thousand times, but it’s still your favorite. Overlooking your email, you double check that you have a list of things for each group of interns to do, just because you were gone doesn’t mean that they get to slack off.
“Here.”
Shoto said handing you the bowl of soup, it was the perfect temperature. At first you were confused, how did he get this ready so fast without the stove or microwave. You face palmed, maybe you were more delirious then you thought you were, half cold, half hot duh.
“Mind if I take a seat?”
“No not at all!” you said moving the blankets over. He took a seat next to you having his right side close to you since he knew you had a fever. Instinctively you leaned up against him. He was cold, but warm, it was nice it was like being next to a cooling ice pack that was the perfect temperature.
“Ah, I’m sorry.” You apologized sitting back up.
He shook his head, “don’t worry about it. I’m glad to help you.” You smile and lean against him again as you look at the laptop and start eating your soup.
“What’re you working on?”
“A list for the interns.”
“Tell them that I say to run 50 laps around the building.”
You laugh and type that into the email. And after it you put ‘JK love Shoto Todoroki’ you showed him and he gave an approving nod. You hit send and closed your laptop for the day.
“I’m curious how many of them actually do it,” He wonders out loud.
You shrug, “Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.”
You said adjusting your body to being closer to him, trying not to spill your soup.
“So what’s this show about?” he asked invested in the show’s premise.
“It’s about a wizard and a prince, but the prince doesn’t know he’s a wizard, and the wizard always ends up saving the prince.”
“And the wizard is a servant to the prince.”
“Yup, they are best friends even though the prince doesn’t want to admit that.”
“Does the wizard?”
“Well,” you put the bowl down, “the wizard thinks the prince is a Royal Prat.”
“That’s a funny dynamic.”
“It’s my favorite show.” You said with your head leaning on his shoulder. You feel him put his arm around you and immediately you’re starting to feel better. You feel your body temperature go down. You watch the TV for a little bit as your eyelids get heavy and soon enough you’re lulled to sleep by the sounds of the television and Shoto’s breathing.
You jolt awake, feeling as if you had slept for ages, but it had to have only been a couple hours since the TV hadn’t gone into sleep mode. Looking next to you, you must’ve woken up Todoroki too, because he was stirring. Your cat was also laying on his lap, curled up against his right side.
“I’m so sorry.” You apologized, “you came here to keep me company and I fell asleep.
“No, no, it’s fine.” He yawned, “fevers take a lot out of people and your cat just started purring on my lap and I couldn’t say no to a nap too.”
“Yeah he doesn’t normally like people, but he really likes you.”
“I like him too.” He said giving the cat a few pets. He looks at you with his heterochromatic eyes, “Are you feeling better?”
You nod, “Much. I told you, you didn’t need to come by. I would’ve been fine tomorrow.”
He shrugged and gave you a smile that made you melt, “I just like seeing you.”
You felt your face get hot again and you quickly turned away.
“Are you okay Y/N?”
Ahh and the way he said your name basically made you a puddle.
“yeah.” You respond looking back at him. How about I make us some tea and we play a game.
“sure, what did you have in mind? It’s called Question, Fact, or Memory, you can either ask me to answer a question, tell you a fun fact, or give you a vivid memory. And vice versa. If you want to skip, just choose one of the others that you’re willing to share. Easy right?”
He gives you a gentle nod. “yeah, sounds easy enough.” You smile at him and start brewing some tea.
You guys end up playing the game getting to know each other pretty well. You answered all of his questions and you tried to stay away from asking for a memory because of his past. One of your questions was “Why do you call Endeavor by his hero name and never his first or just dad?” Instead of answering Todoroki, gave you a fact that he loves cats and your cat was definitely at the top of the list. So, after that you stayed away from that territory.
You both play well into the afternoon, when you guys decide to make breakfast for dinner, just fried eggs and toast, nothing fancy. Just what you have in the house. You’re eating and laughing together and everything just felt right. Until he got a phone call.
“Excuse me, I’ll be right back.”
You give him a nod as you begin to clear the table into the sink. Todoroki is in the corner of your house looking at your cluttered bookshelf pinching the bridge of his nose. You could only imagine what the phone call was about, but you turned your attention away. Not that it was your business, but you hope you didn’t get him into any trouble.
“Sorry about that.” He says coming over to you.
“No worries, heroes always have something that they gotta do.”
He gave you his signature Todoroki half smirk and nod, “Today has been really fun y/n, but I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Wait.” You reach for his hand. He stops and turns around to look at you. “Do you want to stay the night?” you ask feeling your face get flush, your turn away from him trying not to make eye contact with him.
He seemed to debate for a second or two and you felt like an idiot. You guys weren’t dating and you just became friends with this boy. Of course you had a massive crush on him and you didn’t want him to leave, but fuck. You might’ve just messed everything about this up.
He moved his face in front of yours and you felt your heart race. He places his right hand on your forehead, checking your temperature. “That’s good your temperature has really gone down.”
You nod, “I feel a lot better too. All I have left is this headache, but if I take a shower tomorrow I’ll feel a lot better too.”
He smiled, “I’m just glad you’re feeling better. Well, do you want to go to bed early or watch some more of the Royal Prat?”
“I’m ready for bed so I can beat this fever into submission.”
“Alright. I’ll turn everything off out here and I’ll meet you in the room.”
You go lay down in your bed and can’t believe and began to wonder where that confidence came from when you asked him if he’d like to stay the night. You couldn’t believe you asked him and you couldn’t believe that he also said yes. You watch the hallway light flicker off and he walks into your room.
He crawled into bed with you and you curled against his right side. You felt him hold you close, cooling you down, you relax and even after your nap today, you let out a sigh of relief. You felt guilty keeping him to yourself today, but it seemed like he didn’t mind. He was so hard to read. You wondered if Todoroki liked you as much as you like him.
“Good night, Shoto.” You muttered.
“Good night, Y/N.” he responded holding you close.
You felt like out of all the moments in the world. The only one that mattered was this one. Right in his arms and you dozed off with thoughts only of him.
This is, again, one of the first things I’ve actually wanted to write in over two years. So sorry if it sucks. But please, tell me what you think. Thank you to @toxsfandomstuff for posting your headcannon/imagine.

Akira and the boom boom boy
Hi so i got bored and i decided to write a Katsuki Bakugou fan fic. Its also a little something to take my mind off college work. lol 
This is a slight arrow (the show)/ my hero academia crossover. Im going to be using the names of the arrow characters and MAYBE some story lines but the whole story line is just mine. 
im not the best at getting my stories out from my head into a story but im trying D: haha 
DO NOT COPY ANY OF MY WORK THIS STORYLINE IS ENTIRELY MY OWN
--------------------------------
So a little background about where I'm going with this story. 
First and foremost this is my first fanfic and I know it's probably not good but I just wanted to write something for fun to take my mind off doing college work. 
So the story is an arrow (the show) crossover with the show my hero academia obviously haha. I decided to make Akira quirkless but somehow still be hero material with knowing how to use a bow and arrow and being trained enough to stand up against villains. I'm going to base it loosely on the show but I will be bringing in the names and some storylines from the show here and there. 
This is a fully original storyline since I don't want to do the traditional storyline with the kidnapping or whatever so the only thing staying the same is that I'm using 1-A class characters.
 this will be a Bakugou fanfic and because of that i I live for the angst and I will probably make this story angsty af when it comes down to it that point.  It's also going to be a slow burn and as of right now I really don't know if I want to make it a happy ending or not I'm just going with the flow.
 The characters are aged up to be 18 and seniors or be in class 3a when Akira meets them.
I'm making Akira take over hagakures place since she's just there. (sorry hagakure lol)
 The back story on the plot or where I want this to go. 
 Akira has her hero license from being in the states thanks to her aunt Nyssa training her and taking her to take the test since she went to a school where they didn't care for heros all that much.
Akira's parents were killed on a night mission in japan which is why Akira wanted to do her senior year in japan. The whole point of her going to UA is for her to figure out what happened to her parents. 
 Akira's parent's quirks and back story. 
MOM: was good with computers she could hack into mostly anything and did in college until she met her dad. Her quirk was being able to manipulate lightning. She didn't use her quirk that much since she was always parked behind a computer but she did have good control over it and had her provisional license. 
 DAD: teleportation quirk. had his own agency right out of college since he was related to the owner of one of the most well-known heroes in the US at least on the eastern side of the US queen consolidated. Akiras uncle Oli gave her father the money and expertise to start his own agency which he did and he ran the whole thing with his wife Akira moM.
they had a ton of sidekicks and assistance that ran the organization when they were away but when they died the agency closed since Akira was too young to take over and the two main heroes were dead because of that her aunt Nyssa and uncle Oliver were able to train her in archery and close combat with weapons which made her to what she is today. .

Jaytim secret santa 2017 pt 2
so i had a second giftee! @sociallyawkwardfoxwriter I love your writing and hopefully this is ok ;-; it was such a hard prompt to write because im terrified of ghosts. 
Prompt: ghost jason meets robin tim
rating: general
Tim wasn’t one to believe in supernatural forces.
He liked to use logic and reasoning, science and math, evidence and facts.
Magic, ghosts, demons?
They had none of that.
Well, he knew several aliens, Miss Martian, Superboy, Starfire. He even knew the half demon, Raven. But he personally had no interaction with the supernatural forces, and he was fine with that.
He went through several...weird adventures with the Titans, even with Batman and Nightwing, but they were all solved in a logical way.
So when he started feeling like someone was watching him, or when weird things started happening, he thought he was just being paranoid. Little to no sleep and dealing with psychos like the Joker would do that to a person.
It wasn’t until things escalated, like his files flying everywhere, or his batarangs suddenly flying at him, that Tim finally accepted that maybe he was being haunted.
Even then, Tim didn’t tell anyone. It wasn’t like whatever spirit was doing this was hurting him, just making his job more difficult than it had to be.
So Tim ignored the papers being knocked down, grabbed a spare mask whenever his went missing suddenly, and did the best he could to try and figure out who would haunt him while paying them no mind.
The spirit, Tim begrudgingly admitted to it being a spirit, never followed him out of the cave, and though Tim still felt like he was being watched on missions, nothing supernatural ever happened. Tim wouldn’t admit he was thankful for that.
The Titans seemed to know immediately. Tim didn’t know how, but they knew. Kon and Bart always looked a touch more worried than usual. Raven gave him pointed looks, but said nothing. Gar was always on edge, and seemed anxious around him. Kori told him on multiple occasions he was more than welcome to stay. Tim declined every time, but the worried look she’d give him made Tim wonder when she would finally call Nightwing.
But none of them ever tried to force Tim to talk about it, and for that he was grateful.
Tim was always called a smart kid. He was far more intelligent than most kids his age, and he was already known as the world’s second greatest detective, right after Bruce. So, he did what every ‘normal’ kid his age would have done. He decided to talk to the spirit.
There was a sense of comfort being alone in the batcave to ‘talk to ghosts.’ He would at least hear Alfred or Bruce coming and could always say he was doing work.
With a tentative look towards Jason’s old Robin uniform, scorch marks and everything behind clear glass, Tim called out. “Uh..hello? Are you there?”
There was a pregnant silence. Tim knew he was listening, this wasn’t normal silence. Even the bats were watching, listening, waiting.
“Look, I don’t know what your problem is with me, but I’m not here to bother you.”
The silence continued to ring in the Batcave, and the cold sweat that broke out on Tim’s forehead told him that maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.
“I’m...just here to make sure Bruce doesn’t do anything stupid. After Jason died-”
It clicked in his mind. But Tim scrunched his face up, confused. He didn’t know Jason. Sure, he took pictures of him as Robin, but personally he didn’t know anything about him. Jason didn’t know him either. So why would he-
Tim sighed, turning to Jason’s suit, hung up like a memorial in the cave. “I know no one wants me to be here. Dick doesn’t, Bruce doesn’t, and it looks like you don’t want me here either. But...I have to do this. Batman and Robin meant more to me than you could ever imagine. Bruce is beating himself up because of what happened. He’s becoming self destructive and Dick won’t do anything about it. So, I will. And once I’ve served my purpose I’ll leave. But, just know until then, I’m staying. I have to stay. Please understand.”
Tim shivered as he felt a cold breeze behind him, but a quick glance told him no one was there. Maybe the spirit wasn’t listening?
“Master Tim?”
Tim jumped, whirling around to come face to face with Alfred. The butler was looking at him with something akin to worry.
“Are you alright, Master Tim? I heard you speaking.”
Tim stuttered, an embarrassed blush rising to his face at having been caught.
“I uh...yeah. I was just-”
Alfred looked passed Tim to Jason’s uniform, a sad look replacing the worry.
“I see. Master Bruce often does the same. He wallows in his guilt.” Alfred turned to Tim, a pointed look this time. “But perhaps you being here can remind him of why he chose to dawn the cape and cowl. He may seem distant and cold, but he’s just afraid of losing another partner so soon after his previous.”
Tim paused. “But Jason wasn’t just his partner. He was his son.”
Alfred’s eyes turned sad again, even if his tone didn’t betray it. “That he was, Master Tim. Now come along, it’s time for dinner.”
With one last look at the memorial, Tim followed after Alfred. Had he turned around, he would have seen what looked like a person looking up at the memorial as well.
 Jason thought death would have been the end of things. He thought he’d see a white light and then nothing.
He was wrong.
He found himself in the manor, watching, but not being able to interact.
He’s tried, oh how he’s tried to call out to them, to touch them.
But he couldn’t.
Instead he had to sit by and watch as this...this pretender all but demanded to be made Robin. As he replaced him as if Jason was nothing more than a fleeting thought.
He was smart, Jason would give him that. He was maybe 2 years younger than him, but already brilliant in a way Jason had to work to be. Jason was book smart, and he was clever. But Tim? Tim was the detective Bruce wanted him and Dick to be.
Jason decided that if he couldn’t be Bruce’s sidekick, no one could. Sure, maybe it was petty, but Jason died and got nothing more than his mask and cape hung up. Hell, it didn’t even look like Dick knew until recently.
Jason didn’t do anything that could seriously hurt the kid. He didn’t hate him enough to stoop that low. He just wanted him to stop being Robin.
But after that one sided conversation in the Batcave, Jason was second guessing his choices.
Tim was right. Jason saw how Bruce was jumping head first into his work, pushing everyone away. But if hurt him to think that he couldn’t help, and had to rely on Tim to do it.
So, he stopped. Well, he didn’t completely stop, he was still a bit petty, but he wasn’t as bad as he was before. Where before it was a matter of trying to get Tim to quit, now it was more of something to keep him occupied and just to be a little shit.
Tim did nothing more than roll his eyes as he had to collect his papers, or sigh as his cape seemed to have disappeared. But he seemed glad that Jason didn’t outright ignore him.
Jason could do without the conversations though.
Tim had taken Jason’s little pranks to be a sign of begrudging acceptance, and while he was right, Jason didn’t want him to be comfortable with the fact. But while Tim rambled away in tales of the Titans, or the night’s mission, Jason listened. There was no way Tim could know for certain that he was listening. With the exception of Raven and Constantine, Jason was pretty much invisible to everyone else. So how could Tim know he was there and still act like they were the best of friends?
It took Jason a minute to realize that Tim simply didn’t have anyone else. While Tim had friends like Kon and Bart, they didn’t understand what it meant to be Robin. They didn’t get the mental and physical torture and exhaustion being Batman’s partner meant.
So Jason listened. Even if Tim didn’t know he was, he did.
Jason slowly saw things change. He saw Dick try to be a better brother to Tim than he was for Jason. And at first, it was another thing that pissed Jason off, but after stumbling upon one of their conversations, Jason realized it was out of guilt. Jason had left half way through the conversation. After all, Dick cared about him enough to beat the Joker to death with his bare hands, he didn’t need to try to get between them.
And as he realized how much he meant to Bruce, Dick, Alfred, and even Tim, Jason found himself at peace. He was loved, finally. But there seemed to be one thing keeping him from moving on.
“Tim.”
Tim’s ramblings and Jason’s thoughts were cut short as Bruce stood in the doorway of his room. Bruce looked around, as if looking for the person Tim was talking to, but found nothing. He raised a single eyebrow before shaking his head, seeming to remember why he was there.
“Tim, tonight you aren’t partrolling with me.”
“Excuse me?” Tim asked. His tone was polite, as if he was just asking Bruce to repeat himself, but his eyes held defiance, a challenge Bruce took in stride.
“Your father is bound to a wheelchair, Tim. He needs you more than Gotham does. Go, I will call Nightwing if i need assistance.”
“Bruce, you can’t do this to me! I need to be out there, I need to-”
“You aren’t thinking straight.” Bruce interrupted, and Jason rolled his eyes as he remembered all those times Bruce was more Batman than Bruce. “Anger is clouding your judgement. I know you want revenge but it will not end well if you go after Captain Boomerang. There is a line you don’t cross. I’ve already experienced one sidekick crossing that line out of emotion, I don’t need another.”
Tim knew where this was going, and it filled him with an unexpected wave of anger. Grabbing his coat, he angrily shoved his hands into the sleeves.
“I’m not your son, I’m your partner. I think I’ve done enough to deserve some respect.” Tim all but pushed Bruce aside as he stormed out of the room. Tim paused, turning to Bruce. “Oh, and that night with Felipe Garzonasa? Jason didn’t push him. I’d know, I was there.”
With that, Tim stormed out. As he yanked the front door open, he could have sworn he felt something warm on his shoulder.
“You’re welcome,” Tim mumbled, as he left Wayne manor.
 Jason couldn’t bring himself to hate Tim. His initial anger now seemed childish, petty. He didn’t know Tim then, but as he learned more about the kid who took over Robin for him, the more he found himself interested in him.
Could ghosts fall in love? Jason didn’t need to eat, or sleep, but he could still feel emotions. That had to explain the protective feeling he had whenever Tim came home with so much as a scratch, or when Tim crawled into bed and silently trembled as he tried to sleep.
This didn’t compare to how he felt though, watching as Tim holed himself in his room, bawling his eyes out as he mourned his father.
And Jason could do nothing but watch.
“He’s dead, and it’s all my fault.”
Tim kept saying this, and Jason wanted so badly to tell him he was wrong, to tell him he was as much as a victim as Jason was, that the cape and mask just made them targets.
But he couldn’t, because he was dead.
When Tim finally exhausted himself to the point of drifting off, Jason put his ghost skills to work and gently covered him with a blanket.
Jason was a ghost, he couldn’t feel, but how would he explain the warmth that went through him when Tim sleepily mumbled “Thanks Jason,” then?
 Jason was gone.
Tim just knew. He was gone.
He couldn’t feel him anymore. It was hard to explain how he knew, but he knew.
Did he move on? Was he at peace?
Tim felt guilty for feeling a bit bitter. Now Jason was probably in a better place, and here he was being angry for feeling left alone.
Tim sighed, pushing the thoughts out of his head as he looked up to the bat computer. It had been some years since he first decided to seek out the bat. Jason’s spirit had become such a crucial part. Who would understand now? Who would he talk to without feeling judged?
The thoughts were once again pushed out of his head as a ping appeared on the bat computer. It took Tim just a few clicks before that ping became a location.
Crime Alley?
Nightwing was busy in Bludhaven, and Bruce was off planet on League business.
That just left him.
Snapping his cape into place and slipping on his mask, Tim was just a little annoyed. Who was making trouble when he wanted to just brood and sulk?
Ugh, he sounded like Bruce.
Tim shot his grapple hook, flying and gliding to the location. He knew this could very well be a trap, but his instincts told him it probably wasn’t. Gotham had been silent since the Joker and most of the other Rogues were in Arkham, no doubt planning their next escape.
Tim sighed, a never ending war, this was.
“Tim.”
Tim whirled around, batarang in hand and ready when a figure stepped out of the shadows. He was tall, and built. He had a red helmet over his head, and dressed head to toe in armor, as if he was a vigilante himself.
Slowly, the stranger reached up to press a button behind his helmet. It loosened with a soft click, and he pulled it off.
Tim felt the breath leave him.
In front of him, the man grinned, a crooked grin that was unfairly attractive, blue eyes crinkling in mirth.
“Long time no see, baby bird.”
The voice was deep and Tim had to resist the urge to shudder. Instead he grinned back.
“Nice to finally see you, Jason.”

The ballroom backstage had been converted to an interview room with a different table holding some sort of interviewer. Sebastian wished Blaine had been there, not just to help with the kids or to be with him, but just being able to glance over and see his husband during interviews always made things better. Comic Con was hectic as is; interviews were just even more chaotic. Sierra was holding Chloe’s hand, while Connor was currently wrapped around Sebastian as the moved into the ballroom. He was directed to the first table and he gave Chloe a smile, even though she seemed to not give a fuck because Candice’s assistant had her new puppy with her, and when he tried to get Connor to go to Sierra, he shook his head and he could feel his son’s grip tighten around his neck. “Hey bud, everything alright?” He asked, brows furrowing slightly. Connor’s head rested against his shoulder before he spoke up. “There’s lots of noise.” His eyes glanced around the room. On top of his cast, there were also several other entire casts being interviewed and the noise was bouncing off the walls louder than normal. A voice cleared and was trying to usher him over to a table. It took him a second to move, but when he moved to the interviewer, he gave her an apologetic look. “Would…would you mind if my son was present?” Connor’s head moved off his dad’s shoulder and he gave the interviewer a small wave. She nodded and smiled before Sebastian sat down.
Connor, in his Flash suit, sat in Sebastian’s lap, played with the collar of his dad’s shirt as he went on, answering all the usual questions he’d probably have to answer 1000 times by the end of the week. The interviewer didn’t waste much time asking Sebastian about his ‘sidekick’ for the day once her basic ones were out of the way. “Oh, Connor isn’t my sidekick. He’s my partner. We’re both heroes, you know.” He smiled and nudged his son’s elbow slightly, causing him to look at the interviewer. “Why don’t you tell her about your powers, Con.” Connor looked between the two adults before he gave her a shy smile. “I’m the fastest man alive. The Flash.” Sebastian helped turn him slightly in his lap so he was looking at the interviewer a bit more. “We’ve been training hard at home. We do laps, we go to the park, the beach. Whenever we can, right.” Connor’s head nodded excitedly, beaming up at his dad. “Do you have a hero you look up to, Connor?” It didn’t take more than a few seconds before Connor was looking up and pointing up at Sebastian. “Chloe and I think Daddy’s pretty good.”  He couldn’t hold back the laugh as he wrapped his arms around his son.
From there, all the interviews seemed to be the same, but Connor got a bit more comfortable and ended up walking to the tables instead of hanging onto Sebastian. No matter, Chloe was perfectly happy running around with Sierra, talking with anyone who would humor her (including several interviewers who, of course, she proceeded to brag about Sebastian being her dad). After a few people, Connor’s hand squeezed Sebastian’s, causing his attention to drift down to his son. “You okay?” Connor nodded but still stayed quiet. “Let’s go get your bag from Sierra, okay?” He lead his son over to the nanny and grabbed the Flash backpack that had been filled with just about anything that could be needed. When the publicist saw Sebastian digging through the bag, he asked if everything was alright. “Can you just tell them I need a few minutes? I’ll be back and answer whatever they want.” He gave her a pleading look and she sighed before going over to explain the situation.
The sound of cameras going off filled the room as he lead Connor over to a corner of the room and set everything down on the ground before he laid down. “We’ll just sit over here for a bit, just us.” Connor smiled before he opened the bag and dug inside for the action figure. “Oh good, Papa found him for you.” Connor nodded as he began playing with it quietly. “He told me you got him for me.” “I did, I thought you might like him.” Sebastian smiled, leaning on his hands as he watched Connor play. “I do. He looks really cool.” His son’s tiny fingers brushed over the painted plastic before he continued playing with him. “Why haven’t you told them about our new sibling?” Sebastian’s brows moved in confusion as he looked at Connor. “We don’t know anything yet, Con.” Connor’s eyes flickered over to Sebastian “But people will be happy. I can tell them how I want to play with them. I can help. Chloe and I keep talking about how we’re going to help teach them stuff. I want to teach them how to play superheroes.” His smile grew and he hoped he wasn’t about to cry like he felt like he was. “There’s some more stuff Papa and I have to do before we go about telling people, but I’m glad to hear that. You’re gonna be a great big brother, Con.” Connor gave his dad a smile and handed the action figure to his dad. “I know. Chloe tells me I will be.” Sebastian sat up before placing a soft kiss against his son’s hair. “You think you could play with your sister and Sierra so I can finish these interviews up? The sooner I finish, the sooner we can get Papa and go to the pool.” Connor’s face lit up as he nodded, but he held his hands up, indicating he wanted to be carried by his father. Once up, he quickly hoisted him up before getting him to Sierra and speeding through as fast as Barry Allen could. After that, all he wanted to do was be with his family. His perfect, beautiful, family that had room for at least one more.
