You hate Bob Reynolds.
You hate the way he walks into a room and won’t look at you. You hate the way his eyes flicker toward you when he thinks you’re not watching. You hate how he always chooses the furthest seat from yours now, even though (once) you were the person he chose first.
And worst of all?
You hate how much you still want him to come sit next to you.
The common room smells like popcorn and vaguely burnt pizza. Ava’s cracked the windows again, letting in the cool night air from the New York sky outside. Dim overhead bulbs cast the room in warm yellow light that barely competes with the flickering horror movie on screen.
Yelena is curled on a beanbag chair with her legs tucked under her like a smug cat, hoodie two sizes too big. John’s hogging the recliner, a beer in one hand and his dumb Stars-and-Stripes socks visible from where his boots sit discarded nearby. Ava’s lounging in the corner with a bowl of gummy worms and a knowing smirk.
You walk in behind Bucky, both of you still talking about a mission briefing that had somehow turned into a discussion about raccoons with knives.
“Do not pretend a raccoon could take you down,” you mutter as Bucky snorts.
“I’m just saying, it’s more dangerous than you think,” Bucky deadpans. “Especially with a butter knife.”
“You’re ridiculous.”
He shrugs. “I’m not the one who got chased through a compound last week by a genetically engineered goose.”
“That goose had rage in its soul,” you hiss, before realizing the entire room is listening. Yelena snorts into her sleeve. Ava just shakes her head.
You clear your throat, cheeks warm. Your eyes instinctively scan the room—and stop.
There. Couch. Right side.
Bob.
He’s sitting low, one leg crossed over the other knee, navy-blue sweater sleeves bunched up his forearms. His posture is slouched, but his eyes are sharp, focused on the screen, until you catch the briefest glance your way.
Your stomach tightens.
He looks back at the screen before you can even smile.
You hesitate, then move toward the couch. The big popcorn bowl is balanced between him and Bucky. You think about sitting next to Bob, think about all the nights you used to sit shoulder to shoulder, knees brushing, fingers grazing accidentally over the same handful of popcorn.
Maybe you can fix this. Maybe he’ll say something. Maybe this silence he’s been giving you for weeks will finally end.
You hover by the bowl. “Hey,” you say, careful and light. “Can I grab some?”
Bob doesn’t look at you. His hand tenses slightly on the bowl’s rim. He shifts it toward you in silence.
Your fingers brush his.
He pulls back like he’s touched a hot stove.
You feel it like a slap.
You grab the popcorn, mutter a stiff, “Thanks,” and move to sit next to Bucky instead.
Bucky shifts slightly to give you room. You slump beside him, chewing angrily.
“Well that was painful,” Bucky mutters under his breath.
You don’t respond.
“He flinched,” Bucky continues, almost in awe. “Like your fingers were poison.”
You keep your eyes on the screen. “Maybe they are.”
“Strike four,” he whispers.
You glance at him. “You’ve been keeping count?”
“Of every tragic interaction, yes.”
You throw a kernel of popcorn at him. He catches it mid-air.
You lean in slightly, voice low. “Do you think he’s mad at me?”
“I think he’s a dumbass.”
You smile, but it’s hollow.
“I just—don’t get it. We used to talk. Like… a lot. He used to laugh at my dumb jokes. Now he acts like I stole his dog.”
“Maybe you did.”
You blink. “What?”
“Maybe you stole his metaphorical dog.”
You stare at him. “That’s the worst theory I’ve ever heard.”
“It’s still better than yours,” Bucky mutters.
From across the couch, you feel Bob shift. You glance—he’s still watching the screen, but his fingers have stopped moving. The popcorn bowl rests untouched now, perfectly still in his lap.
The movie flickers into a tense silence.
Then John, voice flat, says, “Can the lovebirds quiet down?”
Your entire spine stiffens.
“Excuse me?” you hiss.
“Shh,” John says, not even turning.
You stare ahead, cheeks burning. Bucky looks halfway between smug and offended.
“Lovebirds,” he whispers, amused.
“Don’t even—”
“I mean, if the shoe fits…”
You elbow him sharply. “I hate you.”
“You don’t,” he says, still smiling.
You risk another glance toward Bob.
His jaw is tight. His eyes are still on the screen. But there’s a twitch in his cheek. The kind he gets when something’s bothering him.
He doesn’t look at you.
You look away first.
⋆˙⟡
The meeting room is too cold.
The A/C’s on full blast, humming above the fluorescent lights. You swear Val keeps it that way just to remind you she’s in charge of everything—including your blood circulation.
You’re running late.
You shove the door open with a muttered apology, the metal creaking slightly, and step inside—boots still muddy from training. Your hair’s barely dry from your post-mission shower, damp strands sticking to your neck. You tug at the collar of your jacket, feeling both underdressed and overstimulated.
Everyone’s already seated.
Yelena’s halfway through a protein bar and somehow still managing to lounge in a government-grade steel chair like it’s a beanbag. Ava’s scrolling her tablet, boots on the table despite multiple prior threats from Val. Walker’s twirling a pen and looking like he’s about to make a comment no one asked for.
Then your eyes land on him.
Bob.
Second from the right. Notebook closed in front of him. Shoulders hunched slightly like he’s trying to make himself smaller, or maybe disappear altogether.
Two empty chairs beside him.
You hesitate.
The little voice in your head—the one that’s gotten crueler lately—says, Don’t bother. But you ignore it.
You step around the table, slow but deliberate.
Your pulse kicks up as you approach. You wonder—stupidly, hopefully—if maybe this is the moment. Maybe today, he’ll look up. Maybe he’ll say “Hey,” like he used to, voice low and warm. Maybe you’ll sit beside him and feel something like before.
You stop beside the chair next to him.
Bob looks up.
Your breath catches.
And then—
He blinks. His mouth twitches. Not a smile. Not even close.
He closes his notebook.
And he stands.
Your eyes widen. He murmurs something to Yelena—too low for you to hear—but she raises one eyebrow and gives him a look that says Seriously? Bob says nothing else. He walks around the back of the table, silent and swift, and drops into a chair across the room.
Your throat tightens.
You sit down heavily in the now-empty chair next to Bucky.
“Wow,” Bucky mutters, barely audible. “That was… something.”
You just shake your head, biting the inside of your cheek. “What the hell was that?”
Bucky leans in. “He looked like you were holding a knife.”
“Maybe I should start holding one.”
Val walks in, clapping her hands once. “Alright, Thunderbolts. Everyone awake? Good. Let’s make this quick. I’ve got meetings stacked higher than Walker’s ego.”
Walker scoffs. “Hilarious.”
“Quiet, star-spangled disaster,” Val says dryly.
You try to focus. Val drones on about the last mission—errors, improvements, recon notes. Words blur into static.
Bob doesn’t look at you. Not once.
You glance at him—he’s leaning back, hands clasped in his lap, eyes fixed on the slide deck like it owes him something. He’s not scribbling notes like he usually does. He’s not twirling his pen. He’s not moving.
You grit your teeth and turn to Bucky.
“He’s ignoring me again.”
Bucky side-eyes you. “We’re mid-briefing.”
“I’m going to strangle him with his own hoodie.”
“That’s dramatic. Effective, though.”
Val clicks to the next slide.
You whisper, “Why is he like this? He used to talk to me.”
“Used to eat lunch with you too,” Bucky murmurs. “Used to laugh.”
“I know that.”
“And now he’s pretending you don’t exist.”
“Exactly!”
“You think maybe… that’s the opposite of what’s happening?”
You blink. “What?”
Bucky just smirks.
Then—
Val slaps a hand on the table. “Hey. Lovebirds. Try keeping the domestic bickering to a whisper?”
Your soul leaves your body.
You blink. “I’m sorry—what?”
Walker snorts. Ava doesn’t even look up from her tablet.
Val waves a hand. “Whatever. Just pay attention. I’m not repeating myself for your unresolved sexual tension.”
The room falls quiet.
Bucky leans into his hand, elbow on the table. “I think we’ve just been outed.”
You bury your face in your hands. “This is a nightmare.”
You chance a glance at Bob.
He hasn’t moved.
He’s staring at the table. Not at you. But his knuckles are white where they rest on his knee.
You’re too stunned to say anything.
The rest of the debrief is a blur.
⋆˙⟡
The training room smells like rubber mats and frustration.
Sweat beads at the back of your neck as you pace toward the punching dummies, your left ankle throbbing with every step. You rolled it bad—stupidly—during a dodging drill with Ava and Walker. You’d laughed it off at the time, brushing dirt off your shoulder like it was nothing.
But now that the adrenaline’s fading, it hurts.
The sun’s just beginning to dip behind the compound’s reinforced windows, casting the entire gym in a low, orange haze. Yelena is by the far wall, throwing knives at a wooden dummy’s face like she’s flirting with murder. Ava’s perched on a bench with her headphones in, scrolling through footage on her tablet. Walker’s long gone, probably off to inflate his ego somewhere else.
And there’s Bob. Across the room.
He’s standing by the free weights, curling a bar like it weighs nothing. His hair’s damp at the edges, sticking slightly to his temples. He’s in his navy long-sleeve again—his favorite, the one that’s worn thin at the elbows. His eyes flick toward you as you limp slightly past.
Your breath catches.
It’s the first time he’s looked at you today.
You feel it. That familiar flutter in your chest that you keep trying to kill.
You open your mouth—to say anything—but hesitate. He looks like he might say something, too. Like he’s going to take a step forward. His fingers twitch slightly against the bar.
And then you hear it:
“You alright?”
You turn.
Bucky’s walking over from the hallway, towel slung around his shoulders, brow furrowed as he catches your limp.
“Oh. Yeah. Just twisted it earlier. It’s not bad.” You wave a hand like that makes it true.
“Let me see,” he says, already crouching down beside the bench. “Sit.”
You hesitate. “I was gonna—” You glance back toward Bob.
But he’s still standing there. Still watching. Frozen in place.
Whatever he was going to say—if he was going to say it—dies.
He takes one slow step back.
You sigh, quietly, and sit down beside Bucky instead.
He pulls your boot off gently, inspecting the swollen ankle.
You wince. “I’ve had worse.”
“Doesn’t mean you should ignore it.” Bucky digs in a nearby locker for an ice pack. “You planning on training through this like a moron, or letting me tape it?”
You roll your eyes, but smile. “Fine. Doctor Barnes.”
“I’ll add that to the list of titles I never asked for.”
Across the room, Bob hasn’t moved.
His jaw’s tight. His hands open and close once, then again. He watches the two of you quietly, unreadable.
He takes a breath, like he’s about to come over anyway.
But Yelena appears behind him without warning. “You’re glaring again,” she mutters.
Bob startles, just barely. “I’m not.”
“You are.”
“I wasn’t—” He glances over at you and Bucky. Bucky’s crouched now, wrapping your ankle in gauze, your hand on his shoulder to keep balance. You laugh at something he says.
Bob turns away.
Yelena raises an eyebrow. “You gonna keep lying or just explode already?”
“Shut up,” Bob mutters.
“Sure,” she says, biting into an energy bar. “Just let me know when you’re done pining like a 17-year-old Victorian widow.”
He shoots her a look, but she’s already walking away.
He turns back toward you, just in time to see you toss Bucky an appreciative smile and say, “Thanks, Buck.”
And then you’re gone—hobbling off toward the lockers with Bucky trailing beside you.
Bob stares at the door long after you’ve disappeared.
⋆˙⟡
Bob’s hands have been sitting still for too long.
One of them rests on the disassembled sidearm laid out in front of him, the other curled tight against his jaw as he leans on the table. His brow is furrowed. His brain hasn’t registered a single thing in the last fifteen minutes. The room is quiet, except for the distant hum of the overhead lights and the occasional thud of Yelena dropping gear somewhere behind him.
He stares at the gun like it’ll reassemble his thoughts for him.
“You’re sulking again,” comes her voice, sharp and dry as vodka.
He doesn’t look up. “I’m not.”
“You’re brooding in the dark, surrounded by dangerous objects,” she replies, stepping closer and leaning against the metal counter with a crunch of her granola bar. “That’s called sulking, Bob.”
“I’m fine.”
“You’re lying.”
He exhales, long and slow. “I’m just… thinking.”
“About her?” Yelena chews. “Or are we pretending you don’t do that every three hours?”
He doesn’t answer. Just picks up a screwdriver, flips it once in his palm, then puts it back down like it’s too heavy to hold.
She softens a little. “What happened this time?”
He doesn’t know where to start. He could say, I saw her ankle give out and didn’t move fast enough. Or maybe, I saw her smile at Bucky again and it felt like a kick to the ribs. But none of that explains how badly he wants to rewind everything. Go back to when you used to wait for him after missions. When you’d lean on his shoulder while teasing Walker or smirking at Yelena like you were in on some inside joke Bob would never understand.
He remembers the sound of your laugh. That full-bodied, uncaring laugh that only came out when you felt safe. You used to laugh like that around him.
“I think she hates me,” he says eventually, voice low.
“She doesn’t,” Yelena says without hesitation.
“She used to talk to me,” he mutters, running a hand through his hair. “Every day. About random stuff—TV shows, your neighbor’s dog, the vending machine being rigged. And I was stupid enough to think it would last.”
Yelena quirks an eyebrow. “What changed?”
“I did.”
And he did. Somewhere in the space between trusting you and falling for you, he got weird. He started pulling back, dodging eye contact, brushing off conversations before they could start. He didn’t know how to handle it—how to want you without scaring you away.
So instead, he scared himself into silence.
You’d walked into the common room that night with Bucky at your side, your laugh trailing behind you like perfume. You were trying to get popcorn—just a normal thing—but then your hand brushed his and his whole body tensed like he’d touched fire. He pulled back before he even thought about it.
Your smile faded so fast it made his stomach turn.
He should’ve said something. Sorry. I didn’t mean to—
But instead, he just froze, watching you walk away, bowl in hand, settling on the couch next to Bucky like that was where you belonged now.
He couldn’t focus on the movie. He couldn’t even hear it over the pounding in his ears. Every time you leaned into Bucky’s side, something bitter tightened in his throat. You didn’t even look his way after that. Why would you?
He hadn’t just pulled away. He’d disappeared.
Yelena watches him quietly now, like she knows where his mind is drifting. “Did something else happen?”
He nods. “Debrief, a few days ago.”
She waits.
“I walked in and saw her scanning the room,” he says. “She looked like she was gonna sit next to me. She almost did. But I… I moved.”
“You ran.”
He winces. “Walked. Quickly. To the other side of the table.”
“Coward.”
“I know.” He leans back, eyes flicking to the ceiling. “I couldn’t do it. I was going to say hi. Ask about her shoulder—she took a hit on the last mission—but I panicked.”
Yelena hums in that way she does when she’s judging him quietly.
“She sat next to Bucky instead. Again,” Bob adds, bitterness creeping into his voice. “They were whispering to each other, laughing during Val’s rundown, and then Val says—” His voice shifts, mocking: “‘Can the lovebirds pay attention?’”
Yelena snorts.
“She didn’t deny it,” Bob says quickly, like he needs her to know this part. “Didn’t laugh, didn’t say, we’re not a thing. Just turned red and glared at Val, like it was a thing and she was embarrassed about it.”
Yelena doesn’t answer right away.
Bob lets his head drop forward into his hands. “I know it sounds stupid. It is stupid. But I keep seeing them together, and it’s not just the proximity. It’s the way she looks at him. Talks to him.”
“You mean the way she used to talk to you?"
He goes still.
Yelena softens, voice less teasing. “Bob… maybe she’s just trying to fill the space you left.”
He doesn’t know what to say to that.
Then yesterday happened.
He saw you limp into the gym and his entire nervous system lit up. You were trying to play it cool, but he knew that look—you were in pain and trying not to show it.
He took one step forward, almost called your name.
But Bucky beat him to it.
Hey, you alright?
Bob watched, rooted in place, as you let Bucky guide you to the bench. Watched you let him take off your boot. Wrap your ankle. You laughed at something he said again, that same sound Bob used to hear on accident—when you were scrolling your phone on the couch beside him, or teasing him over his “weird cult-leader” handwriting.
Bob’s hands had clenched. His chest felt hollow.
And still, he hadn’t moved.
“Every time I try to fix it, I mess it up more,” he says now, his voice ragged with frustration. “And every time I don’t fix it, I lose her a little more.”
Yelena tosses her granola wrapper in the bin. “So what, you’re just going to keep watching her from across the room like some tragic Regency novel?”
Bob glares weakly. “I just… I don’t know what she wants anymore.”
“Well,” Yelena stands, dusting off her pants. “Maybe she doesn’t either. You’ve given her nothing to work with.”
He swallows.
She’s right.
He remembers the way you used to look at him—eyes full of challenge, of trust. You don’t look at him like that anymore.
Now, when you glance his way, there’s hurt in your eyes. And confusion. And maybe—just maybe—a little hope you haven’t managed to kill off completely.
Bob wants to believe it isn’t too late.
But he also knows he’s running out of chances to find out.
⋆˙⟡
The med bay is quiet except for the gentle whir of the portable stim unit on your ankle. You should be focusing on your recovery, on resting, but your mind’s pacing in circles. Restless. It’s been days since the last mission. Days since you sprained your ankle and Bob almost helped you.
Almost.
The sound of that one step he took toward you is burned into your skull. You heard it. Saw the flicker of concern in his expression. The way he looked like he might finally say something. But he didn’t. Again.
Instead, Bucky helped you. Like he always does.
And maybe you’re just exhausted—mentally, emotionally, physically—but tonight, as the pain pulses dully through your foot and frustration simmers in your chest, you decide you’ve had enough.
You’re done letting Bob hide behind silence.
You leave the med bay the moment your foot can bear weight and stalk the halls with too much purpose for someone supposed to be recovering. You know exactly where he’ll be. The observation deck. He always retreats there after missions, like he’s hoping the stars will answer something the rest of you can’t.
Sure enough, you spot him through the glass, silhouetted in the cool blue glow of the night sky beyond. Hood up. Shoulders hunched. Like the world’s sitting on his back.
He doesn’t hear you enter. Or maybe he does and chooses not to turn.
You stop a few feet behind him.
“Why do you keep avoiding me?”
His shoulders stiffen.
No greeting. No pleasantries. You don’t have the patience for any of it.
He doesn’t turn.
You take another step closer. “Seriously, Bob. What the hell did I do to make you act like I’m some kind of ghost?”
Nothing.
You force a breath. Your voice cracks. “You used to be my best friend.”
That finally gets him. Slowly, he turns, the hood dropping back just enough to let you see the guilt carved into his features. He looks tired. Paler than usual. And yet somehow still impossible to read.
“I’m not avoiding you,” he says, too quiet to be convincing.
You scoff. “Bullshit. You can’t even look me in the eye anymore. I try to talk to you, you bolt. I reach for the popcorn and you practically teleport away. You leave the room when I sit down. You change training shifts to avoid me.”
“I didn’t mean to—”
“You didn’t mean to, or you didn’t want to be around me?”
He winces. His mouth opens like he wants to explain. But nothing comes out.
You hate how much it hurts.
“Do you hate me now?” you ask, voice barely above a whisper.
He jolts. “What?”
“Just tell me,” you snap, covering your pain with anger. “If I did something wrong—if I messed this up somehow—just say it.”
“You didn’t,” he says, fast, desperate. “You didn’t mess anything up.”
“Then why?” You’re breathing harder now. “Why did you just… drop me? You let me think I was crazy for feeling the distance when you were the one building it!”
“I had to,” he mutters.
You step closer. “Why?”
He shakes his head. “It’s complicated.”
“No, it’s not. You either care or you don’t.”
“I do care,” he blurts, suddenly louder, voice cracking like thunder off the glass.
Silence falls between you. Heavy. Fragile.
You blink. “Then why do you treat me like I don’t exist?”
Bob runs both hands through his hair, pacing away from you, then back, like he’s coming apart.
“Because it’s easier than wanting something I can’t have,” he finally breathes.
You stare.
He exhales like he’s been holding that in for months. “You and Bucky… I see the way you look at him. I hear the way you talk to him. I thought maybe if I backed off, I could deal with it. But every time I see you with him, it’s like my ribs are caving in.”
You’re stunned.
“Bob—”
“And then Val calls you ‘lovebirds,’ and you don’t deny it. You blushed. I thought…” He trails off, swallowing hard. “I thought I missed my chance. That I’d already messed it up. And if I couldn’t be what you wanted, the least I could do was get out of your way.”
Your voice comes out gentler. “You thought I was with Bucky?”
“Aren’t you?”
You stare at him. “No. Of course not.”
He blinks. “But you’re always with him. Laughing. Whispering. You lean on him.”
“Because he listens. Because you wouldn’t.”
“I was trying to protect myself.”
“And I was trying to understand why the person I care about most started treating me like a stranger!”
That lands like a punch. Bob’s shoulders sag. He looks like he’s about to fold in on himself.
You step forward. Hesitate. Then place a hand on his chest—just over his heart.
“You idiot,” you whisper. “You really thought I wanted Bucky?”
Bob doesn’t answer. His eyes are wide, vulnerable. Your touch stills him completely.
“I wanted you.” You say it quietly. Gently. Like it’s the simplest truth in the world.
He exhales shakily. His hands twitch at his sides, then lift—hesitant, slow—as if he’s terrified touching you might break the moment.
But when he finally presses his palm over yours, the tension breaks.
Neither of you says a word for a long time.
Then, finally, he leans forward, forehead resting against yours, breath shallow.
“I’m sorry,” he murmurs.
You close your eyes.
“I missed you,” you whisper.
His breath hitches. “I never stopped.”
⋆˙⟡
You weren’t planning on sitting next to him. Not really. You told yourself you’d play it cool. Casual. Normal. You were going to walk in, nod politely, and take your usual spot next to Bucky like the last three weeks.
But tonight… you hesitate at the door.
Bob’s already there. Hood down, for once. Jacket draped over the back of the couch. He’s wearing that old faded band tee you once teased him about—the one you said made him look like a roadie, not a superhero. And he’s looking around the room like he’s searching for something.
For someone.
Your pulse kicks up.
Yelena’s on the far couch, legs tucked under her, already spoon-deep into a pint of ice cream. John’s half asleep in the armchair with a beer balanced precariously on his thigh. Ava is floating just above the beanbag pile, watching the screen like she’s trying to decipher code. Bucky’s leaning against the back wall with crossed arms, waiting to see where you sit before he picks a seat.
And Bob… Bob catches your eye and doesn’t look away.
Not for a second.
It’s nothing like before.
There’s no flinching. No retreat. Just that soft, unsure gravity you’d missed so badly.
Your feet move before you think about it. You take the empty spot beside him like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
It feels terrifying.
And then Bob shifts, ever so slightly, to give you more space. Or maybe to meet you halfway. His thigh brushes yours. He doesn’t pull back.
You glance sideways. His fingers twitch against the blanket on his lap.
Yelena lets out an exaggerated gasp.
“Oh my God.”
You freeze.
John jerks upright. “What?”
Bucky just huffs a quiet chuckle and takes the nearest beanbag. “Took them long enough.”
You blink. “What are you—”
“Oh, please,” Yelena drawls. “This has been a six-act drama and we’re finally at the resolution. Do not deny me this.”
Bob lets out a groan and sinks lower into the couch.
Val, from somewhere in the hallway, calls out without even looking in: “If anyone makes out during the opening credits, I’m kicking you off the mission roster.”
You bury your face in your hands.
Bob coughs into a laugh beside you.
Bucky leans over and mutters, “So, when’s the wedding?”
You elbow him, face burning.
Bob’s hand brushes yours—light, hesitant—and then doesn’t move. Fingers barely touching. Like a promise he’s still too shy to make out loud.
The movie starts. Everyone settles.
You stay exactly where you are, shoulder to shoulder with the man you thought you lost. The man who is still here.
And even with the teasing, the knowing glances, and the smug looks from across the room—you’re smiling.
Finally.

Smtimes your house is haunted because there's a ghost sometimes your house is haunted because you miss grandma and your mom misses her even more sometimes your house is haunted because the subtext of how the last owners decorated rubs you wrong way sometimes your house is haunted because you've sublimated the fact that you didn't want to move in the first place and Sometimes your house is haunted because there's a carbon monoxide leak. Lots of options.

I think everyone who complains about the existence of queer people in comics should read this letter to the editor in a Green Arrow 1988 comic and shut the fuck up

*taps microphone* is this thing on? Okay…
🎤 THIS IS A REMINDER THAT ALL OF THE ROBINS ARE SMART, GENIUSES IN FACT. THEY ARE IN A FAMILY OF DETECTIVES. THATS LIKE THEIR WHOLE THING. ALL OF THE ROBINS (AND THE REST OF THE BATFAM TOO) ARE CLEVER, STRATEGIC, AND CAPABLE, NOT JUST TIM. (No hate to my boy Tim, though. I love Tim.) YES, EVEN THAT ONE. Thank you. 🎤

TO ADD- my best friend got into DC comics as an adult through a DANNY PHANTOM fan fiction where he goes through the multiverse and has met MULTIPLE different heroes. When he went to the DC world my friend didn’t know what was happening bc all they had seen was marvels cinematic universe. I pulled out my old 2000s Batman comics handed down to me by my sperm donor when he went to prison, and we indulged in the stories together. Had to explain how the “Under the RedHood” movie doesn’t match with comics which is why information didn’t completely match the writer of the Ben ten stuff. Or how I knew the old Teen Titans show but wasn’t aware that DAMIAN WAYNE AND RACHEL ROTH WERE IN A FLIRTATIONSHIP WHEN I THOUGHT RACHEL WAS DICK GRAYSONS AGE.
It just doesn’t matter. As someone who grew up arguing with grown ass men at ten over my favorite Robin or some shit- IT DOESNT MATTER. People like what they like and it’s all FICTION and even the comic writers and screen writers are wrong.

Nowadays in comic life there is so many games, comics, novels, movies, tv shows, online shorts, and web series (both film and comic) that obscure the original cannon stories so who even cares 😂 I don’t know how many times in my life I’ve fought over the color of Jason Todd or Damian Wayne’s eyes bc the comics and the animated movies didn’t even match up and I got mocked for it by grown men half my age.
Enjoy the characters and the chaos fandom creates- that’s all I’m saying.
