Oscar stood by the edge of the sidewalk with his hands in his pockets, watching Darien’s taillights disappear around the corner. He had enough to worry about without adding Wyatt’s concerns to the pile, though he couldn’t help wondering where Brynn had ended up. They hadn’t found her, of course; but the city was a big place, it was naïve to think they’d bump into her so easily. Hopefully she was fine-.. making it alone or whatever it was that she was up to.

Sighing heavily, he realised he’d forgotten his keys. It’d probably be better to sit outside all night, to be honest; Courtney would be livid by now. As if summoning her by thought and before he could make his mind up, she came thundering down the staircase, yanking the door open furiously. He should’ve known she’d be waiting for him.

Courtney: Where the hell have you been?! [Courtney hesitated before continuing, but the words fell out of her mouth before she could stop them] Courtney: Are you high-.. drunk? Oscar: Seriously, Cookie? It’s only been five fucking years. [Oscar scowled, hurt by her accusation; though he supposed he couldn’t totally blame her] Oscar: Sorry, I know it’s late… Courtney: I’m well aware of the time, Oscar-.. but someone won’t sleep when you’re not here. Oscar: I’ll put her to bed and we’ll talk, okay? I’ll tell you everything. Courtney: You better-.. working my ass. … Oscar tried to wrangle his haphazard thoughts as he settled Wren, glad for a quiet moment to collect himself. He tentatively joined Courtney downstairs afterward, meeting her expectant gaze with a guilty smile; he should’ve left them to it, his family needed him more than they did. Still, she seemed to have calmed down, and the more he told her, the less angry she became-.. although, he’d tactfully avoided mentioning the state Wyatt had left Gael in. He hadn’t strangled him, after all; and as far as Oscar was concerned, that was a success in of itself. Perhaps a first, even…

Courtney: You shouldn’t have helped them; you could get in trouble! Oscar: [scoffs] I won’t-.. besides, you didn’t hear the desperation in his voice. [Courtney squinted suspiciously] Oscar: I’m serious, he genuinely seemed.. genuine. Courtney: And she feels the same? Oscar: By the sounds of it, yeah. [Courtney fell silent, remaining so for a long time…] Oscar: What’re you thinking? Courtney: I don’t know.. maybe we should help look for her? Oscar: Where? Who knows where she is by now-.. I’m sure she’s fine, I think we’ve got enough on our plate. Courtney: I know, but-.. I’m not sure I would’ve made it without her, y’know? [Oscar winced, his heart twisting painfully as he remembered their shared, buried memories] Oscar: We’ll keep a casual eye out-.. maybe I can do some work in the city now n’ then, ask around. [Courtney nodded in agreement, stifling a yawn] Oscar: You two should get some rest-.. I’ll be up soon.

"The only comics where he (Damian) gets *any* character development is Robin 2021 and B&R."

U-uhm...

Have you ever read Robin: Son of Batman...? I recommend it. It's a pretty telling, touching story!

you know what keeps me up at night? this scene with Wally and Bart that was cut for time from the season 2 Young Justice finale

[blueboyluca]

A couple weeks ago I took Topaz to my sister’s house and my nephew put on a Santa hat which freaked her out suddenly. Telling him to take it off backfired and he started screeching and running around which immediately escalated Topaz’s behaviour and she started lunging for him. I just immediately left as there was nothing to be done at that point. I socialised her to me wearing hats but obviously I did not foresee this particular scenario.

She hadn’t seen my nephew since then but today I took her to my mum’s house and my nephew was there and despite him not wearing the hat, obviously the experience stayed with her because now she doesn’t like him and is not safe around him. Again his unpredictable behaviour set her off. Before the Santa hat incident she got on just fine with him, he had even been to our house with her here.

I don’t know what to do about this except to not bring her around my nephew at all. Which is doable, it just means he can’t come to my house anymore. I’m hoping if I leave it a few months maybe she’ll mature and calm down about it. It’s a bit worrying as I’ve never had a dog reactive to people. I didn’t think her general spookiness around some people was super concerning, but now I’m starting to worry that it’s going to turn into something. Mostly when I take her out she’s fine with people, just now and again she randomly decides she finds someone scary and barks at them. Her behaviour with my nephew was a massive escalation but his behaviour triggered it so I can understand how it happened. My nephew is also really difficult to get cooperation from so there really is no safe way I can see to solve this. Except maybe desensitise her to him in neutral locations from a great distance.

I’m trying not to catastrophise but this is not an area I’m familiar with so I’m not sure what to do. I don’t intend to bring her near my nephew again but I do think I need to be more proactive about handling her when she gets scared of random people. The signs were there before but I just kind of rode through it hoping as she matured she would chill about stuff she gets surprised by, but that’s not happening in all instances and I don’t want this to get worse.
