#Blind oracle

Rehabilitation Path

While researching about a villain's parentage as Oracle, Babs discovered that the Information about Amity Park is blocked (maybe is the GIW, maybe is Tucker or an aftermath of Technus shenanigans in the city).

She realizes that she can't investigate about this random place and get concerned, so she decides to investigate it in person. But since is just a reconnaissance mission to understand the technological block she didn't tell the bats, why would she?

When she arrives there, she saw all the things happening: the teen hero, ghosts invasion, government cover-up, etc.

But that's not the worst part, because she also saw that something was happening with the town hero: He was moving like he couldn't see halfway, stumbling, missing his aim, his coordination was obviously failing and the blind spot was so obvious to her!

So instead of telling Bruce or the League as she should, she decided to talk to him. The boy told her that he had a really bad accident and he still felt the aftermath (like her)

When Babs asked him if he had done rehab to recover and he shrugged saying that his powers had fixed it, she was horrified. It seemed that no one had taken the time to give him rehabilitation therapy, a few days in the hospital and he was considered cured!

The boy also admitted about losing sight in one of his eyes over time, but not doing anything because he felt ashamed about it. The boy thought that this disability made him less valuable in combat, that when he recognized it, he would have to stop being a hero! Babs couldn't help but get annoyed with whoever put such a stupid thought in the teenager's head.

So she made up her mind: She would teach that boy about the good path to recovery, and show him that an accident didn't have to ruin his life, she would teach him to to be proud of his newfound disability, because that didn't stop her from being a hero and it wouldn't stop him either.

I'm still waiting to get into the Hades II technical test (c'mon email) but seeing the stream of it means redesigning Cybill and making The Obvious Joke

[superbat-lmao]

Roy and Jason have their own comms channel that blocks the rest of the bats.

Because, when Roy is out of commission and it’s a slow night, he says the filthiest things over the comms to try and convince Jason to wrap it up early and come home.

Warning: Mature content.

Roy, who has years of experience over Jason also has the unique delight of patrolling for two weeks while Jason heals from a particularly nasty GSW. Once Jason’s well enough to listen in over the comms, he gets an idea.

The first time he signs on to their private channel, he’s direct and slightly nervous. He doesn’t get further than, “Busy night?”

“Nope!”

“Wanna come home and fuck me?”

There’s a noise like an impact and then Roy saying, “I might have to now that you almost gave me a concussion, Jaybird.”

But after a few days Jason really considered how much work it is for Roy to just keep talking. Because Jason has sat out in the cold for two and a half hours before, completely silent, and still had Roy chattering on in his ear with lurid fantasies.

So, he waits for Roy to do actual reconnaissance, writes down a couple of things beforehand, and really lays into it.

Because if there’s one thing that Roy is that Jason isn’t, it’s that he’s shameless.

But Jason is a bat, and if there’s one thing he’s capable of, it’s completing a mission.

So Roy announces that he’s going silent on his end and Jason waits about 7 minutes before laying into his master plan. He triple checks he’s on their private comm and goes for it.

“Have I told you what I think about on patrol when you’re on the comms? What it was like the first time you caught me off guard doing this?”

“Because at first you gave me a heart attack. I didn’t realize you’d switched lines and thought Babs could hear us. You’d said something about suffocating between my thighs and I damn near fell off a fire escape.”

“But my first stakeout? You talked about me pinning you to the wall of the alley I was above, fisting my hand around your cock, and putting my dick inside you. I couldn’t breathe, Roy. I thought I’d died when the mark finally moved and got the recon of who he was working for. I had to do breathing exercises the whole way home so I didn’t come in my gear.”

After a while, Jason gets used to the silence and just describes everything he can think of about Roy. He talks about his hands, the callouses on his fingers, his arms, what it’s like to sink his teeth into his neck, the feel of his muscles under Jason’s hands, how good he feels wrapped around Jason’s cock, or in Jason’s mouth, or how he tastes clenched around his tongue, how it feels to have Roy inside him, how Roy’s hair feels in his finger tips, how he loves the taste of his tongue, his teeth. How his back curves into his ass and the pale skin he bites when he clenches around Jason.

“God baby, how do you keep your hands to yourself saying things like this. I’m hard just thinking about you.”

And he is. Jason’s sweatpants are tented where he’s seated on the couch.

His mind wanders a bit, thinking on how rarely he’s speaking these thoughts about Roy out loud. He’s an enthusiastic partner, loud even, but rarely this explicit.

“Fuck Roy, is it easier for you to say these things when I’m not in front of you? Because I swear some times I look at you and forget how to breathe.”

“When you’re here in front of me it’s like someone has shorted a connection in my brain. I would forget English if you let me. Until all I could say is your name.”

He goes on for a while longer, not quite keeping track of how long he’s been talking for. He tries to picture what Roy will be like when he wraps up, when he comes home, but he draws a bit of a blank.

Because Jason knows this script, but not from this side. He’s always been the one to come through the window, to take Roy in whatever state he finds him on their bed, and bear down on him. To fulfill any fantasy that he had been hearing for the last twenty minutes to three hours.

But when Jason finally hears their window open, he realizes how much control Roy gives him. Because abruptly, Jason feels as though he’s been waiving a red piece of cloth in a dirt ring and he can finally hear the gate open.

He gasps into the kiss Roy demands from him, smiling into the satisfaction of how riled up he looks now that he’s removed his domino. Roy’s hands move with an urgency that makes Jason laugh as he removes his armor as quickly as possible.

“Of course you would find this funny. Jaybird, I swear on Alfred that if you don’t help me out of this right now I will combust.”

So Jason takes pity on him and strips what he can reach. There’s a pull in his leg when Roy readjusts them on the couch and it seems to occur to him that Roy is usually pretty injured when Jason is on the other side of this set up. He makes a mental note to move them to the bed in the future before letting himself get distracted.

When Roy’s wandering hands press a little too roughly that he feels Jason flinch, he takes the hint and they’re in the bedroom. Roy solves the problem of too much pressure by maneuvering Jason on top of him and letting him set the pace.

After, when they’re cleaned up and enjoying the distinct fuzziness of the afterglow, Roy tracing his fingers lazily around Jason’s chest, Jason can’t help but ask.

“So, how’d the recon go?”

Roy flushed a deep red at the question.

“That bad, huh?”

“I got what we needed.”

“Really? I didn’t distract you too bad? Do I have to up my game for next time?”

“I swear you‘ll be the death of me.”

When Jason shot him an unimpressed look Roy relented and went on.

“I didn’t think it would be that hard, I’ve spent literal hours sitting here doing the same thing and you’ve never almost botched a mission because of a hard on.”

“Yeah well, I don’t know how you can keep talking for so damn long. It’s one thing doing breathing exercises on a roof top, but our living room is too damn boring for me to be stuck looking at when talking about you.”

That gets a smile out of Roy, who presses a short kiss against Jason’s slight scowl.

“Aww Jaybird, you could always tell me while I’m here. I’ll keep things interesting.”

“Roy, if you’re here there are way more important things I could be doing than talk.”

“I do enjoy putting it to use in other ways, I’ll give you that. And tonight wasn’t, I mean. God Jason listening to you say everything, I don’t know where to start. I love every possible use your mouth could be put to, just, I don’t know if I can handle the insane amount of control you’re using to listen to everything on patrol.”

Jason worked on tucking them in properly, reaching for the light so they could finally get some sleep.

“Noted. Dirty talk on the comms only when you’re wrapped up for the night.”

“Ugh, I really hope this grappling with a boner thing doesn’t become a Thing.”

Jason laughed when he kissed Roy before really settling in.

“No promises.”

As I'm writing the Oracle class, I'm anticipating that lots of players will want to play a blind character. The trope of the blind oracle or blind seer is fairly popular in folklore and pop culture, and I want to accommodate players making the characters that appeal to them.

To save DMs the headache of trying to figure out how to make a blind character mechanically balanced, I'm including this optional feature in the Oracle class. If a player chooses to make their character blind, they gain 30 feet of blindsight and can spend class resources to extend that range for a short time.

For flavor, I also included the table of possible eye appearances, for players who want the nature of the blindness to be a bit more mystical.

That said, I am currently a sighted person. I'm considering hiring a sensitivity reader further down the line, but for now I figure I might as well run it by others to see what people think.

Worth noting that the blindsight offered here does not negate the mechanical effects of being blind. Characters that take this feature will still be unable to do certain things such as see distant objects or observe writing/images on surfaces.

[image description: Sightless Seer, a 1st-level optional Oracle feature. If you choose, you can sacrifice your sight. If you do so, you are permanently blinded and gain blindsight out to a range of 30 feet. This blindness cannot be cured in any way, even by a wish spell. Starting when you reach 2nd level in this class, you can use a prediction to expend 1 fate point and increase the range of your blindsight to 60 feet for 1 minute. This range increases to 90 feet at 5th level, to 120 feet at 11th level, and to 300 feet at 17th level. If you choose to be blind this way, determine the appearance of your eyes manually or by rolling on the Eyes of the Sightless Seer table below.

Eyes of the Sightless Seer, a table with 6 rows of entries under the header "Eyes".

Pools of stars, deep as the night sky, twinkling with infinite lights.

You wear a blindfold that grows stained and drips with blood as you use your powers.

A small ball of solid gold sits in each socket, perhaps etched with symbols or writing.

Your eyelids are permanently closed. Others see strange shapes moving against them.

Both eyes are of a single solid color, such as onyx black, icy white, or deep sea blue.

Your corneas are clouded and opaque, but the swirling pattern seems to slowly move.

also genuinely fuck every author who finds it necessary to erase a character's disability in order to write them as an actual in depth character.

I just read, perhaps, one of the few darkest fics I have come across with pretty much no blood or gore.

Holy shot this was kinda moving and inspiring at the same time, it’s so well put together in my opinion.

Damn I really need more dark betrayal fics like this, the ones that are centered around familial relationships and someone friggin snaps, And then everything crashes and burns. I’m curious what would’ve happened if the person who ‘snapped’ succeeded in these fics.

I live for tragedies and endings where the antagonist wins- like oh my god I want to have a reason to cry over these fics.

Lmk if anyone’s interested in the fic I dug up- maybe you’ve read it? Who knows?

Edit: Here’s the fic, it’s called Memory Lane, it’s unfortunately locked on ao3, so only those with accounts can access it, but it’s so good in my opinion. :D

Also if you know any dark dc or batfam fics (that aren’t centered around adult fun time-💀) please gimmme.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen any content with Max becoming an oracle. She was specifically blinded by a Vecna with his superpowers, which he also used to show Nancy visions of the future. Sure, he probably wasn’t actually drawing those from actual prophetic visions that he probably doesn’t actually have. I’m just surprised I haven’t seen people talking about how interesting the idea could be and how it could play out.

I’m not saying I think it’s going to happen, but I feel like it’s the Max version of Eddie being a vampire. Like, I’d just think I’d be seeing content for it. Especially with both. Vampire Eddie and Oracle Max, being a thing the party has to figure out at the same time. That would be cool

[bitch-butter]

So many dirty little secrets in this cast, would be a shame if someone… made a podcast about them all…..
