Nightwing: The Target #1 / Hella!

Richard Grayson in Bludhaven PD

Okay, Mr. Dystopian Literature. We see you

In universe, Dick Grayson's equivalent of Bruce dropping out of med school is absolutely everyone demanding to know why he didn't go to the Olympics with his gymnastics abilities.

“Sometimes,” Dick says, quiet and soft and raw, “I wish you were a monster.”  He’s on his knees on the cold, cement floor, staring at rows and rows of filthy cages.  Empty cages.  “It would be easier to hate you.”

The man standing behind him says nothing.  Does nothing.  Just continues to exist, right under Dick’s guard, right at his unprotected back.

“It’s easier,” Dick murmurs, and if he closes his eyes, he can remember what the cages looked like when they’d been full of children, “If bad guys don’t do good things, and good guys don’t do bad things.”

He expects the man to laugh.  He expects the man to call him naive, stupid, a child.  A fool, for wading through the worst of what the world has to offer, and still clinging to fantasy ideals.

“Good and bad are relative,” he says instead.  “One man’s evil is another man’s saint.”  His tone is level.  Almost nice.

Dick doesn’t think that’s an adjective that’s ever been applied to Slade Wilson before.

“This?” Dick sweeps a hand out at the aftereffects of torture and abuse and violence.  “This is despicable.”

“By your standards,” Slade qualifies.  “By mine,” he adds after a pause.  Not by everyone’s, hangs in the air.

Dick knows that.  Dick has proof of that, proof that there are people in this world that consider the torture and enslavement of children as nothing more than a profit in their pocket, and he doesn’t want to think about how they live with themselves.  Doesn’t want to try to understand their motives.

Or the mercenary’s, right behind him.

It started off simply enough—Nightwing’s eyes going wide in the rafters when he met Deathstroke, because Slade didn’t have many lines but Dick sure thought that child trafficking was one of them.  Deathstroke clarifying, after pinning a struggling Nightwing to the wall, that he was here on behalf of one of the children’s mother, who’d paid an exorbitant amount of money for Deathstroke to find and bring back her baby.

Ulterior motive established, grudging alliance hammered out, that should’ve been the end of it.

tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse

The robins’ arrested development is fascinating to me on a meta level.

The first child sidekick of the golden age of comics, never meant to be a man, a child for forty years who fought and demanded the right to grow up.

The second robin is slain in his career’s infancy. An unaging symbol of lost innocence because innocence itself was no longer required. Who burst back out of his grave unwillingly, in a man’s body, dragged into adulthood all at once. A child killed twice over.

The third robin, who was comfortable in his place as a child as a sidekick, evicted because someone else needed that spot, only to be wedged back into the box. Not quite a man, but he can’t go back to being a boy either, stuck in the in between.

And the fifth robin, still a child. Destined to grow into an adult role that will never be vacated, and so cannot grow up.

The “oh I could definitely write this fanfic in under 5000 words and it really wouldn’t take me that long” voice in your head is actually the devil speaking

I’m fine with generic ship names until I can’t figure them out, and then I feel the need to go on a ship hate spree—not for the ships themselves—but for the shitty naming conventions this fandom has

Birdflash was a bad omen, but fine. Generic and boring, but fine. We at least know that one.

Just now I had to go on a Twitter man hunt to figure out what the fuck Oceanbird was, because that could be anything. Any Robin with any Aquaman, and we’re not even MENTIONING how that specific naming convention intersects nastily with the Gotham Rogues Gallery’s ship names (e.g. Riddlebird). Like I know fandom cohesion is impossible to ask for but COME ON 😭😭😭
