Wally Darling

It was quiet in his house, even Home didn't let out a single crack until this moment. There was just one problem. You haven't seen your dearest puppet oh so long ago. The plan was that you two will have a cuddle time together, but he was nowhere. 

You got up from the couch and carefully looked around in the house. You cautiously called out his name, but no one responded. 

You walked around in the house a little bit, hoping to find him. 

He had his own painting room where he could make his own fantasy alive with the brush. 

You walked closer carefully, not to scare him. Even so, he could actually clearly hear you sneaking up behind him, but he was more focused on the picture. 

You peaked through his shoulders to see what he was up to. 

Oh. My. Gosh. Your heart skipped a beat. He was painting a picture of you. How cute! Wally was a very talented artist and you were very amazed in this moment. He always did such a great job. 

"This looks so great, Wally! You are such a good boy!" you said quietly, while you gently placed your head on his shoulder. 

• it comes off to him like compliment

• and it's from you

• his sweetest neighbour

• of course, he is happy! ♡

• "Thank you, Neighbour!"

• he smiles at you happily, hoping that you like his work

• "Do you like it, Neighbour?" 

• omg ofc you like it! How could you not?! 

• He is so happy about the compliment and about that you're liking his work. 

• he just stares at you happily with open mouth, listening your cheerful voice while you commenting of him and his art

Eddie Dear 

Eddie came home and you could tell, he was clearly exhausted. Poor boy, running back and forth all day, and do this job all alone, it must be tiring. 

He got down next to you, just quietly lied down on his back and put his head on your lap. 

"Hey." you said softly, curling his hair gently with your fingers. 

"Hey, love!" he looked at you with his tired eyes, but his lips still curled up into a kind smile. 

You were resting quietly in the warm room, just hearing each other's calm breathing was enough relaxing. 

"It must be hard for you to do this job all alone, Eddie." you said quietly, no to destroy this calm moment that you have been in for awhile. "You're such a good boy!" you chuckled. 

• he slowly opens his eyes, looks straight up at you

• look, idk if they can blush, but now he does it okay? 

• like his face is completely red

• he always gets so flushed when you complimenting him

• he's so flattered 

• and so damn cute ♡

• he's speechless, he can't think of what he could say

• so he just simply says

• "Oh... Erm... Thanks, (Y/N)!" 

• he will definitely give a kiss to your hands in return

• Your compliments mean too much for him ♡

(a.n: btw I love Edddie, he is such a sweetheart 🥺 ♡

He is definitely my favourite character beside Barnaby! ★) 

Barnaby. B. Beagle

 He knew that work is tiring for you and you had a long day. He wanted to do something pleasant for you. He couldn't cook, it was too difficult for him and he didn't wanna blow up the kitchen with his tryings. So instead of cooking, he cleaned out. It was not as perfect like you would did it, but it was acceptable. He was already finished when you were standing in front of the red and blue colored door. It was easy to recognize it. It had similar colors as Barnaby and it was the biggest door in the neighbourhood. 

He opened the door with a happiest smile on his face. He was clearly missing you. He let you in and you immediately took a seat on the comfy couch. 

Just a few minutes after you had some chance to look around. The house wasn't perfectly clean, like you could still something in the conner, but it was enough to make you feel happy and greatful about Barnaby. 

"What a good boy!"

• omg i can imagine how his tail starts wagging

• I mean he's like a dog, but different, but still a dog, so what did you expect?

• he definitely loves it when you call him a good boy

• he just listens your soft and lovely voice while you caressing and rubbing his fluffy head

• he especially likes rubs behind his big ears

• will rest his head on your lap and just melt in and let you to pet and praise him

• probably will bite you carefully in an affection way

• or slobber on you occasionally

• he wants you to say it more times, so he'll try to make you proud as often as he can

• he absolutely loves it ♡

"Thank you, Barnaby!" 

Frank Frankly

You wanted to see your partner's reaction too much to lose this idea. You leaned forward in the chair to get a better look at Frank, then you called him. 

"You are such a good boy, Frank!" 

• he looks up at you strangely and confused

• you can't help, but giggle a little bit cause the frustration

• "Well... Thank you, (Y/N)..." 

• then he goes back to his job

• probably he has to do something with those colorful bugs what are around him

• seems like he found a better company than you :") 

• you stood up and got over to him, tried not to hurt his garden and the bugs

• "But seriously, hon, I do think that you're doing an amazing job!" you said it softly as you hugged him from behind.

"Thank you, Darling." he smiles at you adorably

• he still adores you dw ♡

• but he definitely likes dear, hon, love or even darling more :D

• (btw I think it would make him uncomfortable- not sure, but I feel like- lol)

Howdy Pillar

You rested your arm on the counter as Howdy checked your items. You watched his movements. Slowly tracing your eyes from his face down to his hands, paying attention to details as well.

"Y'know, you do so much work in this place, Howdy. Like a good boy." You added jokingly the last sentence, didn't think of it too much, though.

He stopped moving for and looked up on you. You look directly in his eyes, getting red of embarassment.

"I mean-" You looked away sheepishly. "Not like that, just... You're doing such a good job here, y'know? It must be hard to keep this place alright by yourself." you chuckled awkardly, trying to change the awkard mood that you accidently did.

Howdy was still looking at you, but he didn't seem nervous or weird out about this. He just stared at you and then suddenly his lips curled into a kind, but a teasing smile.

"Yeah, it is." he answered.

He already put in a bag the last item you have bought of him, then he gently gave the bag to you with his third hand.

"You wanna drink a quick Dark Roast with me? Or if you prefer it more, you can have orange juice, or tea." he leaned closer to you on the counter.

"Sure." you said.

He walked away from the counter as one of his hands started to lead you beside him.

He glanced at you with a smile and said

"You still have to pay, though. Don't think that I'll forgot."

• omg-

• i don't think he'll mind it y'know

• but he prefers call you a good pet/boy/girl

• he may get teasy about it

• beside that, he will treat it as a compliment (cause he really deserves it)

• call him often, he won't mind

• just please don't call him like that in public :>

• he's cool with it :D

Flowers floating in the dark void au

Dick, at his desk overwhelmed:

Wally, walking in: ah, found him Jay, thanks for the help.

Jason (Thanos): yeah, yeah, happy to help, just get him out of there.

Wally, smile: of course. *Shuts the door, walks over to Dick leaning on the desk* hey my love, it's spring time, ya know.

Dick, still doing paperwork, not listening: I'll get to it later, put it in the pile Jay.

Wally, sighs and grabs Dick's face: I don't like being ignored, my love.

Dick, blushing again (and he'll do it again!!): o-oh, sweetheart, I didn't know you were coming to visit, it's spring isn't it?

Wally, smiles again: yes, that's why I came down here. Now put this paperwork up and be with me instead.

Dick: I would, but I can't go on a date right now, I have to get these all sorted out and —

Wally, let's go of his face: I don't need you for a date, I need you to be my little bee and pollinate me, honey.

Dick, confused:

Dick, still confused:

Dick, got it: OH! I uh... *Throws paper work to the floor not caring and got up* of course, why didn't you lead with that.

Wally: thought I was being obvious.

Next meeting with the gods, minus Wally working hard that day

Dick, looking at the floor, very disheveled, bite marks and hickeys on show: I uh, I didn't get to finish my work.

Bruce, glaring at him, thinking some human has distracted him: I can see.

Jason, trying hard not to laugh:

Tim (Ares), looking away because he can't hide his grin:

Damian (Hermes), sighs in disappointment:

Steph (Artemis): oh we're so gonna have to meet this, wildflower, of yours.

Duke (Ouranos): damn,,, and I thought Hal (Dionysus) was bad.

Hal: rude!

Cass (psyche): well, at least you're not stressed anymore.

Kori (Aphrodite), smirking: I'll say.

Dick, blushing even harder: sh-shut up....

Iris (Demeter), glaring: so that's where he went.

Bruce, confused: you know which human did this to him?

Iris: he's not human.

Bruce: oh.

Bruce: OH! Iris, please, don't kill my son we don't have a replacement for his work, and I love my kid.

Dick, glares at Bruce: why my work at front? Why is it important, dad?

Iris, glaring at Bruce: yeah, Bruce, why ain't your love for your child not first?

Bruce, scared: I-I... I'm keeping my mouth shut.

Dick and Iris: good.

Steddie Wish Baby AU, Baby Mine

Babies cried a lot. Eddie already knew that. But it seemed this kid, his kid, liked to scream their head off when he so much as put the baby down for even a second.

"Come on, please stop crying. I can't just hold you all the time." Eddie begged the kid as he sat on the couch, rocking the baby on his knee. Looking the child over revealed that this wish baby was a girl. Eddie knew as much about girls as he did about babies. Which was to say, very little. But he couldn't be angry at the kid. She didn't know any better. Staring up at him with her wide doe eyes, curiously reaching out. Her tiny hand caught a strand of his hair and gave it a tug. The baby let out a giggle as she did so. Eddie sighed. He wasn't ready for a kid. How the hell was he even going to tell Steve? Hey, I've had a crush on you forever, and hearing you talk about six little nuggets made me want one? No way. Eddie could do this on his own....somehow...besides, he finally managed to get her to calm down. How hard could it be?

"Eddie? Hey? Are you there?" There was a banging on the front door. The baby broke out of her peaceful trance and began to sob again.

"Oh God damn it." Eddie cursed as he got up. He hesitated to answer the door for a moment before realizing he couldn't hide the baby forever. Going over to the door, Eddie opened it and froze when he saw the very man he was intent on avoiding. Steve Harrington was on his porch. The screen door was the only thing between the two as Eddie gaped. Searching for words to say before managing to stutter a question out. "Er, ugh, Harrington....what are you doing here?" Eddie turned the baby away from the man. Patting her back in an attempt to soothe her.

"Dustin asked me to come check on you. Wanted to make sure you were okay." Of course Dustin would send Harrington to check on him. He watched Steve take a moment to recognize the baby. "Ugh, what's that?" Eddie couldn't help but snort.

"It's a baby Harrington. You of all people should know-"

"I mean, why do you have one?" Straight to the point. Eddie couldn't reasonably say babysitting. Who would trust a recently acquitted Satanic murderer with their child? The truth was out of the option too....

"She's ugh, well, you ever hear about the term wish baby?" Steve blinked at him. Looking at Eddie, then the baby in his arms, then back at Eddie.

"You made a wish baby?"

"Not on purpose!" Eddie defended himself. "It's a long story. But yeah. This little gal is mine."

"Oh." Steve stared for a moment. "She looks like you."

"Yeah."

"So....who's the mom?" There it was. The million dollar question.

"I can't tell you. It would ruin her life." Last thing Eddie wanted to do was drag Steve down with him. He only knew a few things about the Harrington family via passing comments from Steve and Robin. But he knew enough to know that if Harrington Senior found out Steve had a kid with another man, a Munson, he would not be happy. "Her parents would kill her if they found out."

"Shit." Steve paused. Only now did Eddie realize the baby had stopped crying. "So, are you going to keep her?"

"Yeah....yeah I'm the reason she's here in the first place. I can't just dump her off some place and run away."

"Raising a baby on your own is a lot. Do you even have stuff for a baby?" Eddie shook his head.

"No. I don't even know where to start." Eddie admitted as his grip on the baby tightened slightly. "Only been a dad for a few hours and I'm already doing a sucky job."

"Hey, don't say that." Steve frowned. "Listen-I'll take you shopping. We'll get the stuff she really needs and go from there."

"Steve, you don't have to do this. I'm not some charity case."

"No, but you are my friend." Eddie didn't want to admit how his heart skipped a beat when Steve called him a friend. "Come on, we can go to Wally World and get everything we need for the kid."

"Are you sure you're okay with this?"

"Yeah, of course!" Steve nodded excitedly. He had no reason to be this enthusiastic and supportive, yet here he was, willing to help with anything Eddie needed for their baby. A small smile crossed Eddie's face. Knowing that even if he didn't tell Steve, at least he'd still be in their daughter's life.

"Mind holding her while I go grab my coat?"

"Oh, ugh-yeah! I can do that." Steve agreed. Eddie opened the screen door and stepped out. He carefully handed the baby to Steve, the child almost instinctively curling into her other father's arms like she had with Eddie previously. For a moment, it was like they were a happy little family.

《°Yandere!Kid Flash/Wally West x Reader|Murderer°》

"Are you serious?" You asked at the boy infront of you, a bouquet of your favourite flowers in his hand.

You laughed and clinged onto the Techwizard next to you snickering, "As if I would go out with someone like you."

Wally's eyes widened as you and your lover walked past him, your mocking laughter filled his ears.

"Was that really necessary?" Your lover asked looking at you, while sitting on the bed.

You rolled your eyes, as you applied some whitening lotion on your legs before speaking, "Oh don't get soft on me now."

"[N/n]..." he said pulling you on his lap as you walked towards him.

"Hmph, he's obviously a playboy."

"How do you know?"

"Don't be blind darling, you've seen him flirt with others to" you stated booping his nose.

"[P/n] you can still reject him nicely" he said stroking your hair.

"Tadashi please..." you cupped his cheek and sighed with your eyes closed.

"If it bothers you that much, I'll apolagize tomorrow" you said kissing his cheek.

Tadashi sighed but smiled, and laid down pulling you on top of him.

"Even if you did, are you sincere?" He asked wrapping an arm around your waist.

You gasped dramatically, "Does the, Tadashi Hamada doubt me?" He looked at you suspiciously with a small pout.

You scrunched your nose and flicked his forehead, "Yes, I'm guilty with my actions."

You closed your eyes letting yourself lay limp on his chest, listening to his heartbeats "I was wrong, and I'll apolagize to him tomorrow."

Tadashi hummed proudly, and cuddled you tighter.

***

"Wallace!" You called out him turning to look at you, you approached the red haired individual scratching the back of your neck.

"Look, Wallace I'm really sorry about yesterday" you said looking at him.

He looked at you with a smile, "It was nothing, least you apolagized."

As he started to walked away, you clutched his sleeves and apolagized once more before walking away.

~~~

Wally stared at the picture he snatched from your bag, you were wrapped under your boyfriends arms smiling brightly at the camera.

"Damn you Hamada...."

He ripped the picture in two, dropping Tadashi's photo on the ground stomping on it.

***

A week later, you walked down the school hallways with a solemn expression on your face.

"Y/n?"

You heard a voice behind you, you turned seeing Wally walk towards you, giving a sad smile he stopped infront of you.

"I heard what happened..."

Your lip quivered looking down, feeling the urge of having a mental breakdown, Wally wrapped his arms around you.

"Shh...hey it's ok" he comforted, you clutched his shirt trying to let out some quiet sobs.

Wally rubbed your back, saying some comforting words until you calmed down.

"I-I'm sorry..." you muttered calming down, Wally gave you a soft smile saying it's alright.

You excused yourself feeling like a mess but before you could go, Wally placed a comforting arm on your shoulder.

"Hey....i-if you need someone to talk to, I'm always around" he stated, you nodded before walking away.

As you were out of sight Wally's mouth, turned into a dark smirk fiddling with a lighter in his pocket.

~~~

You sighed placing a bouquet on your lovers grave, "....Four days passed."

"And I'm already craving for your touch" you muttered, collapsing on the ground.

"I wonder what would have happened, if..." you touched Tadashi's grave, with a solemn expression.

"You didn't go in..."

"I could've gave him a brutal death in the future" said a voice behind you, making you turn your head back.

"Wallace...?"

There he was, standing behind you a dark aura surrounding him.

"What are you talking about?" You asked, completely unnerved with the comment he made.

He let out a maniacal chuckle, sending goosebumps on your skin.

"How do you think he died?" He asked grinning psychoticly, you stood up taking some steps back.

"I...in the fire" you spoke, "He died when the bulding caught fi-"

"Who started the fire?" He asked cutting you of, approaching you.

"I...don't know" you said unsure, his grin widened before throwing his lighter on the ground.

"Take a guess."

You stared at the lighter with horrified eyes, before angrily looking at him.

"You...." you shakily said your body trembling, Wally laughed staring at your angry form.

Stomping towards him you delivered a harsh punch towards him, hearing a satisfying crack.

Wally merely shrugged of the pain and, maintained eye contact with you making you look back at him in disgust.

He closed his eyes for a second, before giving you a look that made you freeze.

"Run..."

Your body reacted on their own, running away from the psychotic speedster.

You didn't know where you were going, completely forgetting the output if the cemetery.

But you pray to whoever God was listening, to help you.

But alas....

Even God can't save you now.

You fell on the groud, feeling some blood flow down your head.

Wally blushed seeing your unconcious form, pulling it towards him taking in your scent.

"Finally..." he licked his lips, grinning madly.

"Your mine."

Sneak Peek of BTC Chapter 8!

A familiar tale from long ago, but something changed...

(Wally Franks's point of view)

December 31st, 1930.

It was another late night at Joey Drew Studios, and Wally had lost his keys.

Again.

He could already hear the earful Sammy was gonna give him for it.

Since he didn't feel like getting screamed at by Sammy for the fifth time that week, (though it was always funny to watch him have a meltdown), he was on his knees, searching high and low for the keys.

Thankfully for him, it was real late at night, and most of the short amount of staff had gone home already, giving him a good amount of freedom to search.

Plus, since the studio had only been in use for a year, it was relatively small. Just the Animation, Art, Music departments, and Joey's office.

It also mean that Wally looked like an idiot every time he lost his keys.

Something Sammy reminded him of every time he had to tell him about it.

"Come on, come on. Where are those damn keys? Sammy's gonna be on my case for this." He muttered to himself, on his knees, looking under a desk in the Art department.

He had searched the Animation and Art departments up to down, twice now. Leaving the only place left to search...

The Music Department.

He groaned.

Great, and I KNOW Sammy's working late tonight. With my luck, I'll be looking, he'll see me, ask what the hell I'm doing, and yell my ears out when he finds out I lost my keys again.

Wally slapped himself in the face.

Hmm Norman's working late tonight. Maybe if Sammy finds out in the same room as him, the blowout won't be too extreme?

Suddenly it occured to Wally; there WAS another place that Wally hadn't checked yet.

Arguably the most important office in all of the studio.

The Office of Henry Stein.

Henry was working late, so Wally decided to leave his office out of his search, but it was one place Wally hadn't checked yet, so it was worth a try, right.

Plus maybe Wally could convince Henry to search with him. Sammy wouldn't yell at Wally if both Henry and Norman were around, that was for sure.

Plus plus it gave Wally an excuse to not have to search the Music Department!

That settled it then. Wally adjusted his cap and went off to Henry's office.

•••

He made to Henry's office and peeked through the cracked door.

He saw Henry...pacing back and forth while mumbling to himself.

Well that's unusual.

Come to think of it, Henry was looking like a mess. His tie was undone and his hair was all messy.

He listened in on what Henry was muttering.

"C'mon Henry it's not that hard...just leave the note on his desk, grab your stuff, and go...just do it already, you pansy...just man up and do it..."

Wally leaned in closer to get a better view, but sadly forgot what happens when you lean on a cracked door too hard.

The door opened, and Wally, caught off-guard, fell on his face on the floor.

"Shit!" He yelped.

He looked down, and saw that his hat fell off his head.

He looked up, and saw Henry looking at him, looking mortified.

Whelp, I'm screwed.

Don't be intimidated, Wally. Henry's a decent guy. Just bullshit your way outta this and everything'll be hunky-dory.

"Heyyyyyyyyyy Henry..." Wally said, awkwardness and nerves seeping into his tone.

"How ya- How ya doin'?"

Henry just stared at him.

"What did you hear?" Henry asked.

"Oh, nothin', nothin', uhhhhhhh...oh hey, I think you dropped somethin'!" Wally rambled, his attention being caught by a scrap of paper on the floor.

He picked it and he saw that it had words on the other side of it.

He flipped it over and gave it a read.

His eyes widened.

"You're leaving the studio?!" He yelled.

TAPE #10.

THE VOICE OF SAMMY LAWRENCE & JOEY DREW.

A FEW DAYS AFTER THE 9TH TAPE, 1933.

----------------------------

J: "So, Sammy! How's the music business coming along?"

S: [SIGHS] "Its been going.. slow. Tunes do take a long time to complete when you hope each note lingers with utmost perfection, you know?"

J: "Hoho! I understand. If i didn't, I wouldn't correct you on some of your parts in the songs you know! I'm not even a composer, yet even I know when there has to be limits, Sammy."

S: [QUIET] "Yes, but you do this every time.. they're my songs, not yours."

J: "What was that?"

S: "N— Nothing. No need to worry, Joey. I'll have them completed by the end of today, I promise. There's only two more to go and it should all be done.."

J: "Haha, I hope so! You know how impatient I can be!"

S: "Oh, believe me, I know.."

[WHAT SOUNDS TO BE A DOOR OPENING PLAYS IN THE DISTANCE. TWO PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO BE ANDREW HUDSON AND WALLY FRANKS ARE FAINTLY TALKING IN THE DISTANCE, BUT THE RECORDING CAN NOT PICK UP THEIR CONVERSATION.]

S: "Oh, great, those two.."

J: "Oh hey, Mr. Hudson and Mr. Franks! Wonder what they're doing in here."

S: "Probably them meaninglessly wondering around like fools again... god, if they don't leave this instant, I'm gonna get a headache."

J: "Eh, they always do that. Ever since that dinner they've become closer than ever. Wonder what even happened."

S: "Well.. the janitors certainly become more cheerful since he started hanging out with that moron. I didn't even know that they had a dinner.."

J: "Yeah, the two formed a tight bond after that. I even saw them at the place theirself— they both seemed real cozy together. For the first time in forever, Mr. Franks seemed like he was enjoying himself."

S: [SIGHS] "He certainly does seem to be enjoying himself. But it's not like that matters, especially when he keeps losing those damn keys over and over again.. I'd like to be left to work without him knocking on my door for at least a day."

J: "Eh.. we both know that's not going to happen, people 'round here seem to have a routine. No matter what happens, they'll stick to it. And you have a routine of staying tightly locked in your room and not moving a muscle.."

S: "Whats that supposed to mean?"

J: "Oh, nothing.."

[ANDREWS VOICE IS FAINTLY HEARD IN THE DISTANCE, WHAT SOUNDS TO BE HIM SAYING "Hey, Mr. Drew!" OR "Hello, Mr. Drew!" PLAYS IN THE DISTANCE.]

J: "Hey, Mr. Hudson! What are ya doin' away from your desk?.. You finished already? Huh.. guess I couldn't expect less from you. You really do finish.. incredibly fast don't you?"

S: "He's.. already finished? That— that shouldn't be humanly possible—"

J: "Well, I've seen it! It'll only be 2 hours and the next thing I know there'll be a bunch of the assigned frames I wanted him to draw. I say, it is quite remarkable! He could even replace Henry with his odd technique."

S: "Well, whatever.. I'm going back to my office. If I can't escape them here, then I'm going to go elsewhere."

J: "Huh, well, okay— let me know when your finished with those tunes, why don't ya?"

S: "I will, Joey, I will.. just give me time, for God's sake."

[9 SECONDS OF SILENCE GO BY.]

J: "Hmm.. say, little audio log, ya think Sammy'll end up liking Andrew as much as Mr. Franks does?"

[SILENCE.]

J: "Welp.. I guess fate will decide that. In the mean time, I should be getting back to his office. I oughta see if he'll do a wrong note or part again after all."

[cipheress-to-k-pop]

Is it alright to request a “future child scenario” with Artemis where said child’s middle name is either the initial letter “W.” or “Wallace” as like a way of honoring Wally?

I understand if you choose to not do this request and I will respect that.

Artemis Crock when her Future child comes to the Present

Dick Grayson Ver. | Jason Todd Ver. | Tim Drake Ver. | Damian Wayne Ver.  | Bruce Wayne Ver.

Conner Kent Ver. | Wally West Ver.| Roy Harper Ver.

Artemis took a long time to get back into a relationship after Wally passed

She wasn't even expecting to find love again

But uk after a few years of feeling like crap, she finally decided to get some therapy

It's not like she was incredibly depressed or anything

But she did feel this immense guilt whenever she thought someone was emotionally attractive

Or if she thought of going on a date

Or if someone asked her on a date and she declined but then regretted it

So, when she met you, she was hesitant to go on a date and then get into a relationship

But you completely understood where she was coming from

And you didn't force her into anything that she wasn't ready for

Eventually she was able to get emotionally intimate with you without feeling guilt

And your relationship grew stronger

You were actually considering asking Artemis to marry you

But when you brought up the idea of marriage and children to your girlfriend

She completely freaked out

Probably got scared once again

And you didn't want to hold it against her because she's been through so much

But damn, you really thought you were doing so well

And you tried to explain that to her

You tried to have a mature conversation

But Artemis totally panicked and said that she might not ever want kids and that you just had to deal with it

She didn't really mean it

Tbh she had never thought about having kids

But she didn't know if she did 100% want them

So, in a panic she just said she didn't

It was a huge fight

And you both were in tears

"I think, I need to be with someone who wants the same things I do."

Artemis left that morning to Will's place, saying that she'd have someone pick up her things

And you were completely prepared to let her go

Even if it felt like your heart was getting ripped in your chest

A couple days of just wallowing in your home and being depressed

You heard the doorbell ring

You were both scared and excited to open it

Scared because it could have been someone to help pack Artemis' things

And excited because it could have been Artemis telling you that she made a mistake

You didn't want to pressure her into getting married or having kids

But oh god, wouldn't it be so great if she realized it for herself?

When you opened the door

Someone you didn't know was standing on the other side

A teenage boy stood there, smiling brightly at you

"Hi, there! I'm Nathaniel Wallace Crock!"

Crock? As in Artemis Crock? She told you she didn't have any family

"Uh, you're related to Artemis?"

"Kinda. I'm from the future. I'm yours' and Artemis' son."

Holy shit

There was a crazy person standing outside your apartment

He seemed to realize that you were about to slam the door in his face

And the next thing you knew, he was inside your apartment

"Listen dude. If you want money, I have a whole 27 dollars in my wallet and pizza coupon from 2012."

Nathaniel rolled his eyes

"I don't want your money, mom. I really am from the future."

"You know what, I'm gonna just give you the 27 dollars."

The door slammed open and in came Artemis, red faced and panting

"My god, this kid is fast."

He scoffed, "Yeah, no duh, it's part of the 'super' in superspeed."

Your ex-girlfriend's eyes widened, "You have superspeed?"

"Yeah, I used the intelligence I didn't inherit from either of you and recreated an experiment using the documents I stole from both of you."

"I'm sorry, I'm a little lost."

Apparently, Nathaniel made a stop at Artemis first before coming here

He told Artemis he was her son too and she obviously didn't believe him

Now, both you and Artemis were sitting on the sofa, watching Nathan pace in front of you

"Okay, so my moms, which is future you, sent me to the past to get you two back together. They didn't really give me any instructions so I'm just winging it." He explained

"I don't believe you. We literally just had a fight about how Artemis didn't want kids."

His eyes widened at her, "God, mom, you're really making this difficult for me."

Artemis was half convinced

I mean, she had dealt with Bart before

She knew coming from the future was very much possible

But it wasn't like she was just going to take his word for it

"Any proof?"

And 4 hours later, you both were wide eyed

"Wow he had so much proof."

"A ridiculous amount. I thought he said he was winging it."

And you're staring down Nathan like how is this even possible

"So....you're our kid? How does that happen?"

"Well, when two people love each other very much--"

"I gotta say, this is making me want to have kids a little less."

Artemis laughed, "Ironically, it's actually making me think that having kids won't be so bad."

Your eyes widened, "What? Really?"

Artemis gestured to Nathan who seemed a little too pleased with himself

Just sitting happily on the couch and watching the both of you with a bright smile

"Well, I guess I was scared because there's just so many things that could go wrong. But, I mean, this kid is our son, and he seems okay. So, I think it might just work out."

She spared you a glance, "I mean, if you still want to."

You beamed, "Are you kidding?! Of course, I want to!"

The next few days while you tried to figure out what exactly to do with Nathaniel was fun

With him constantly reminding you that when he's 15 and he crashes Artemis' bike, you need to let it go because he got you two back together

You both just rolled your eyes at him

It was odd how you both just sunk into the whole parenting thing

Like it was weird

You both just suddenly had maternal instincts?

Like what?

Artemis was actually a natural, considering she took care of Lian since she was born

Though you imagine a baby girl and a teenage boy aren't exactly the same

But Nathaniel is just the sweetest

A little rough around the edges

And even though he's adopted, he has traits similar to both of yours

Like your clumsiness

And Artemis' ruggedness

And it actually makes your heart swell

Because damn, that's your kid

And he's the perfect combination of yourself and the woman you love the most in the world

Apparently future you and he have a tradition of waking up every Saturday to watch a morning drama

You couldn't imagine why because waking up on a Saturday morning felt like death was upon you

And waking up to watch a romance show with your son was even weirder

But you definitely understood the appeal

You figured this particular instance was the reason the tradition arose in the first place

He was also very used to rough housing with Artemis

Like it wasn't a surprise to see them wrestling on the couch

And you're just sipping tea on the side like 'I live with two animals now.'

Brucely isn't counted because he has more braincells than both of them combined

And you loved seeing Artemis interact with him

Because yes, she was a little cold and standoffish

But you knew that she could be the warmest, cuddliest, loving person

And she really reflected that while spending time with Nathaniel

Being raised by two women is not that different from any other parenting team

But it definitely means that your son is a little more flexible and accepting of mood swings and emotional vulnerability

You know the phrase written by a woman?

Well Nathaniel was literally raised by 2 supportive, intelligent, powerful, and independent feminists that it never even occurred to him that there was some difference between men and women

That made you swell with pride

Because raising a kid to embody your principles and such is difficult

Especially with so much influence from the outside world

But the fact that you raised a respectful, smart, kind but also self-secure person made you feel relief

AND HE ISN'T AFRAID TO SHOW THE BOTH OF YOU AFFECTION?!

Like you did a good job

Congratulations

Basically, Nathaniel coming into your life a little early was the best thing that could have happened

So, when he did leave, you both were saddened to see him go

But also, you were very excited for the life that was going to come

Of course, you and Artemis pick up where you left off

And in a couple years you do get married

A small ceremony, of course with only close friends and family

And then in a couple years when you both are completely comfortable with it and financially stable, you look into adoption

The process is a little difficult and taxing

The anticipation and waiting and constant disappointment were a little discouraging

But luckily you both already knew that something great was coming to you

So, you kept the memory of Nathaniel close to your heart and waited

Until one day the adoption agency described a baby boy with features that resembled your baby boy

You both shared gigantic grins, knowing that it was your son

"Are you both interested?"

"YES, WE'LL TAKE HIM!"

"(Y/N) this isn't an auction, control yourself. But yes, we're both incredibly interested in adopting this baby boy, please let us adopt him. And ignore my wife here, she's a little excited."

That I Love You 1/2

Older!Damian Wayne X West! Reader

Warnings:explicit language, blood

Words:1535

Y/N, West is the daughter of Wally and Artemis. Damian, fights his heart to feel a ounce of love for her though fails

Being a speedster like my dad has it perks. I am one of 'the fastest person's alive'. My little twin brother Jai and I have been not only twins but best friends. We know almost every single one of the others secrets. My dad had been believed to be dead, before I was born. After we we're 5 months old he came back. Now, we live in Central City. In a 3 bedroom, two bathroom, a kitchen with a, table and a living room big enough for the four of us. I've been with the team at the hub for 9 years now. The team consists of myself, my brother, Jonathan Kent, sisters Jennifer and Anissa, my cousin Lian Harper, Arthur Jr, and Damian Wayne. Oh, Damian. We're friend's. Just friends. So why do I want more? I would die if anyone knew how I feel about him. Not even, Jai knows. At least I hope.

Damian's P. O. V

9 year anniversary of the team. A party at the hub. With previous members and current attended. I stand in the back leaning against the wall with my arms crossed. I look at, Y/N laughing with her brother. I always was fond of her smile. Her laughs warm my heart. Her kindness always brings me to a comforting place. My older adopted sister joyfully steps to me.

"you gonna keep being a creepy stalker or go talk to her" Brown said with a smile

"tt, I should have taken advantage of ridding of you when I had the chance"

"Dami, you've been threatening to kill me since the day we met. Besides she's pretty, kind enough for both of you. Plus she knows when to put you in your place, and--"

"Brown, enough" I grunted

"well I never Damian Wayne scared to talk to his oh so adorable crush" her tone mocking

"tt"

I pondered on my annoying yet I do love her, adopted sister's statement, 'Crush?' Meaning you like someone. That, word didn't even come near to how I feel for, Y/N. I didn't simply like, Y/N. My feelings for her were far deeper than that. I have a deep adoration for her. I can't seem to find any reason to allow her to be mine. She deserves far better than I can ever attempt to be. The following day. My arm extended holding my sword blocking Slade's own sword. Are swords clashed. The team and I preventing, Injustice League from causing further chaos.

"Robin, look out!" Y/N yelled

I push Slade harshly as I hear gunfire. He kneels grabbing his pistols. I swiftly three two batarangs in his pistols barrels. I turn abruptly. I see, Y/N on the ground.

"no!" I said I then say in my intercom "H/N, is down!!"

I run and hold her in my arm's. I feel my heart pounding against my chest. Her body limb everything, next to where her heart is blood pouring. I use my spy-contact's on the faraway building I see, Dead-shot! I don't have time to ruin him for hurting my love. I run using a boom-tube to the Med-bay. How could she have done that?! I didn't deserve that. I lay her on the stretcher I use my spy-contact's. Her pulse still there. Suddenly I'm being pulled back

"no! No! No! No!" I yelled

"Damian, we have to perform surgery!" I hear though I can't retain

I can't leave her. I see Diana and Barry. I look at, Y/N's unconscious body. My breathing hitches. I step out of the Med-bay. I look seeing the blood on my uniform and hands.

"where's my sister!!" Jai demanded

He grabbed my collar I move his hand away.

"she's being tended to"

"what the hell happened?!"

"Deadshot, was aiming at me. H/N, heroically let the bullet shoot through her. As I said 'their tending to her condition'"

I then see her parents

"Jai!!" Artemis exclaimed

Jai runs to them. I see Artemis hug Jai. Wally, hugs them both. I look down to her blood on my uniform. My heart racing. I'm sweating. I step away unable to stand another moment. Jai, ran in front of me grabbing my shoulder.

He whispers with rage "are you seriously thinking of leaving? After my sister took a bullet for you? The hell is wrong with you?! She deserves better than that, Damian!" his tears fell

I shove his hand away "like you said West" I step away leaving "'she deserves better'"

I use a boom-tube going to the Bat-cave. I step to the training center. I feel so enraged! I think of the blood she bled. I punch the wooden post repeatedly. I ignored the sweat pouring down my face. The pounding of my heart.

"Damian!!" I hear

Todd, grasped my fist I dagger glare at him.

"we've been yelling your name like 500 fucking times take a fucking breath, short stack" Todd said

I'm 3 inches taller than, Jason and he still insults me like he did when I was a child. I see, Grayson. I move my hand away from, Todd. I then feel the burning pain on my knuckles. I was so enraged I never noticed. My gloves torn and knuckles swollen with blood. I sigh deeply catching my breath. I step to the small medical area in the Bat-cave. I grab the cloth from the top of the shelf and clean the blood off my knuckles. I then see, my blood stains on my uniform from Y/N's blood. My heart sinks further. She has to fight through.

"you gonna explain the fuck that was about?" Todd asked enraging me

"Jay, not helping man" Grayson, looks to Todd irritated and sighed. He then looks at me "what's wrong, Little D? You don't look too good. C'mon you can talk to us"

I shake my head gently my breathing un-calmed. I step out of the Bat-cave going to my room. I walk up the stairs. I step into my room and I slammed the door shut behind me. I feel my heart heavy. I strip down and change into my boxers and sweatpants. I lazily sat on my bed. I take a shaky breath. What if I've really messed up this time?  What if I lose her? I force my tears back. I already ruined my friendship with her. Could I never get the chance to beg for forgiveness. I feel my unavoidable tear fall down my face. Then it all fell to the floor beneath me. I hear footsteps among the hallway near my bedroom door. I knew it was my adopted brother. I hold my hands together with a firm grip my rage consuming me. I ignored the pain I felt within my grasped hands and the sound of my door knocking. The door cracks open then opens more. I see, Grayson out of the corner of my eye.

"tell me what's going on, kiddo. Your big bro is here to listen closely and intently"

"tt" I don't know how to tell him how I feel about, Y/N. How scared I feel.

He sits next to me I take a deep breath. He's my best friend. He touches my neck.

"c'mon you know that you can talk to me, what's wrong?" he said with a soft voice though with worry

I sigh deeply "she takes a damn bullet for me. I care about her Grayson.. The same way you care for your wife. I failed her" my voice breaking it wasn't the first time I broke in front of my brother.

I'm grateful for him. I'm in love with, Y/N. Admitting the truth is freeing. Though I broke the chance to be with her and that scares me to my core

Y/N's P. O. V

I feel a light pain in my middle chest. I blink my eye's my vision blurred. I blink again seeing clearly. I see, my parents and Jai. My mom with tear stained cheeks and Dad nearly weeping. Both of them locked arm's. Jai, sitting on the chair with a saddened look on his face.

"stop moping I'm not dead" I mumbled

"Y/N!" they exclaim

Jai and Dad were the first one's near me. Jai, standing on the right side of the stretcher and my dad on the left. Dad gently touched my face. He started crying. My heart sinks to my gut. He kissed my head.

"oh, my sweet little girl"

"oh, daddy" I touch his hand

He squint his eyes, pinches his nose stuttering. I squeeze his hand that was on my face. He softly smiled and kissed my head again. He moves allowing my mother's shaking hands to cup my cheek.

"Y-you're grounded"

I slightly scoffed she kisses my head. I feel, my brother softly grasp my hand. He uses his other hand rubbing the top of my hand. He takes a quavering breath trying not to cry. I softly smile.

"cry baby" I insult him to try and make him feel better

He gasped smiling with a tear falling.

"shut up, Y/N"

[junespriince]

In the walls au

Zatanna: hey, Wally, I know you're looking for a house, I have one but it's haunted as fuck.

Wally, a struggling chem student: I don't believe in ghost, you crystal girly, now is it cheap or not.

Zatanna: it's paid for, it's my boyfriend's grandma's old house but he doesn't want it and he's willing to give it to anyone who wants to pay for power and water, basically.

Wally: where do I sign? I'll have my shit in by today, I'll break your boy toy's hand for those keys!

Zatanna: okay, okay, I'll text him you'll take the house.

Wally: thanks Zee, you're the best!

Zatanna, flips her hair: natural~

Moving into the house.

Wally, sitting on his bed surrounded by a shadow person: you know, I would say it's creepy you cut off my blind dates hand and send them to me in a reused Amazon box Bec he touched me but I roomed with to pagan, crystal girlies who I let put crystal on me to heal my student debt and let their dark magic girlfriend sacrifice me to a demon, so. Points for recycling.

Dick, making himself less shadowy: that's sad.

Wally: I was desperate and was willing to do anything.

Dick: so you're not afraid of me?

Wally: if I die I'm not in debt no more, plus I'm haunted by a pretty boy, and got a damn good job paying my debt and affording better groceries. Life good right now.

Dick: oh, you think I'm pretty?

Wally: duh, are you even listening to me.

Dick, grabs Wallys face: well I think you're pretty too.

Wally, blushed: th-thanks.

Dick: just remember, you belong to me now, don't forget it. *Leaves into the shadows of the dark room*

Wally:

Wally, texting zatanna: you said haunted, didn't say he's hot ass fuck and possessive, tell your boytoy thanks!!

Zatanna:

Zatanna: boy, you need help.

Donna: he's passed help, have fun with your possessive ghost!

Linda: details if he pipes you.

Wally: 🫡🫡

Reset! Rant (part 3)

Chapter: 16

That familiar feeling of rage returned to him. His fist and teeth clenched and he had the urge to hit something, preferable someone. Bart was the first thing that came to his mind, but he had better control of his Impulses than his brother did. He couldn't let Thawne win.

This is another big hypocrisy moment. He is not better at controlling his impulses than Bart is. Whenever he gets angry, he starts insulting and picking on Bart. He hurt Bart before because he couldn't take Kon making fun of him, and while doing so, he made the mission more dangerous and more prone to failure. He let's his anger out on Bart every time, and he had multiple agressive outburst. He's not as in control as the story leads on.

Bart hopped to his feet and rocked on his heels. "I screw up all the time. Everyone says so. That's why I'm not supposed to do the hero thing without an adult. That's why I wasn't invited to join the Teen Titans."

"Are you kidding me?" Thad's tone was sharp and angry. "What business does anyone have in telling you you how to help people? What business do you have in even listening to them? I don't see you calling yourself Kid Flash and running at Wally's side like and obedient puppy. You're not a side kick."

...................................."In any case, we're more than capable of operating on our own. We don't need some nosy busybodies lording over us and expecting obedience just because of the legacy we inherited."

At the first glance, this looks like Thad trying to emotionally support Bart and make him feel better. At the second look, not so much. Let's untangle what exactly is happening in this conversation. Bart is explaining why he is still supposed to have adult supervision, namely because people think that he can't handle missions on his own and that he'll mess up. Then Thad argues that he's not a side kick and therefore no one should tell him how to do the hero thing. Which...doesn't really makes sense. It was said that the reason why people are convinced that Bart can't be a hero without some guidance is not because he's part of a legacy, it's because they think that because of his impulsiveness and trouble at focusing he will screw them up. They're not expecting obedience because Bart is part of a legacy, they're expecting a willingness of Bart to work with a mentor because he's not experienced enough and will mess up at being a hero, otherwise.

Thad is self-projecting here. If he didn't misunderstand the situation for being about legacy, he wouldn't have tried to make Bart feel better. I'm certain he's just saying this because he's angry about the legacy he is conected to. The only reason Thad rants about Wally is because it reminds him of his situation with his legscy, and not becaus he's mad at Wally for being mean to Bart. Again, Thad is doing this for himself.

Remember when I told you to keep in mind what Thad said about Bart somewhere in Chapter 11? "Bart lacks the capacity of forethought that is requiered in an operation like this"? Also remember how Thad is always insulting Bart's intelligence, criticizes him and says that he won't survive without him? So what about the "In any case, we're more than capable of operating on our own"? This is not Thad suddenly making a turn around and seeing the flaws of his thoughts he had earlier. Thad's always saying what fits his interests best. He changes his opinions on whatever suits him best at the moment. He's such an obvious hypocrit at this point. He's bending his opinions on whatever he needs them to be. This is one of the most in your face instance of Thad gaslighting Bart. Through denial, controdiction and lies relating to his actions and words, he's planting seeds of doubt in Bart. Thad is making Bart question his own perception of memory, perception of reality and his sanity, whether Thad is intentionally gaslighting Bart or not doesn't matter. It's still damaging.

Chapter: 17

Thad thumped his fist against the garage door. "At least I had Craydl before. Now, I'm stuck with you." He glared at Bart again.

Gosh what a horrible fate, Thad. I feel so sorry for you. No really, I can't fathom what an awful nightmare this must be for you! He can never be satisfied, can he? He can count himself lucky that Bart is tolerating his toxic behavior. He is stuck with Thad. Bart is the one who has to put up with his constant belittling and verbal abuse. No one forced Thad to stay at Bart's home, Thad just decided that it now be that way. If it bothers him so much he could've asked to stay with the Garricks. Which would've also made more sense for everyone involved because Jay has superspeed and can look after Thad in case he would try to kill anyone else again.

Also note how Thad is threatening Bart through his gestures.

"Besides, mom said I'm the big brother and that's what big brothers are supposed to do." Rolling his eyes, Thad snorted, "Thanks for the touching moment, but it's not making my situation any better."

This is a form of withholding. It's also condescending demeanor.

Thad clenched his jaw and fists and said nothing in return. He stalked back into the house, punching the doorframe as he passed by.

He threatens Bart yet again.

I'm pressing buttons", Thad snapped. "What does that accomplish? This-" He pointed at the television, "is frivolous. It does nothing!" Bart tilted his head, looking at his brother then the controller. Then, without a word, he punched Thad. Startled, Thad stared at him, and then noticed the surprised expressions on Jay's and Helen's faces. Bart stood up. "Well, aren't ya gonna hit me?" Thad eyed Bart warily and stood. "What is this? Is this a trick?"

"No I'm serious. Hit me." When Thad hesitated, Bart insisted, "Fighting game im real life. Right here." Helen sucked in a breath as she realized what Bart was up to. "Not in the house." Bart nodded and grabbed Thad's arm. "C'mom! I know a place that's still in Manchester." When they ran off, Jay tipped his head to Helen. "I'll keep an eye om them." Once the boys were sure that nobody other than Jay was watching, Bart faced Thad with a combative stance.

Thad struck with a punch and Bart blocked with his forearms. Jay stood aside and watched, ready to intervene in case the fight got out of hand. Every now and then, a particularly solid strike by either boy, he tensed up and stepped forward, but they would continue on as if there was nothing to worry about. As Jay watched, he saw Thad smile for the first time. It was a wicked, predatory grin, full of bloodthirsty pleasure. Bart wasn't smiling. Instead, it was taking everything he had to hold himself against Thad. Sparks of static and stray speed force lightning trailed after them. Then Thad slipped past Bart's defenses and slammed down with an elbow and up with a knee. The next thing Bart knew he was looking up at Jay's concerned face. The elder speedster held out an arm to halt Thad. Thad's yellow eyes gleamed and he was still smilling, spoiling for more. Jay held out his other hand to help Bart to his feet. "You all right, son?"

This whole scene is so wrong, in so many ways, for so many reasons. Yes, you read this right. Bart suggested that Thad beat him up in order to let Thad get rid of his anger. Jay and Helen hear this offer, and say fucking nothing about it. Once again, they're irresponsible and neglectful. Helen shows absolute zero concern for Bart's well being. For crying out loud, the first thing she says after she realizes what Bart's suggesting is: "Not in the house." I repeat, the first thing that comes to her mind after she hears that Bart offers getting beat up by Thad is: "Oh no! My poor house! Everything will be so messed up!" I mean, damn. You have to be a really neglient, bad parent when you're more concerned with the state of your house than with the physical and mental health of your child. Helen and Jay should have been disgusted and put off by this offer. Helen should have said something along the lines of: "If Thad has anger issues, then that is his problem to work through, not yours. It's not your responsibility to keep his emotions under control. You are not his personal punshing bag, and you shouldn't put his well being before your own. No one expects you to make sacrifices like that for him." But nope, she is more afraid of what will happen to her precious kitchen than of the fact that Thad might break every bone that Bart has in his body because he feels like it. They both know what Bart is suggesting, and they don't see anything wrong with it whatsoever. They should have been horrified by this suggestion.

And keep in mind: This all happens after Thad killed the clone and almost killed Max and Bart. Helen knew of both altercations. She knows how brutal and vicious he can get. She knows that Thad is quick to violence, so why isn't she more concerned? Wouldn't she be at least a little scared that Thad might kill Bart because he can't control his brutal urges again? The only resonable explanation I can find is that she doesn't care about Bart. That's why she let's this happen, that's why she allows Thad to emotionally abuse Bart and call him names right in front of her eyes. She never makes Thad apologize for what he does to Bart, not even once. I don't like accusing her of favoritism, but that is what it looks like. Seeing how dispicable Thad's actions and words are is not that hard. Helen should have noticed by now. Jay isn't much better in this. He watched until Thad hit Bart so hard that he fainted and collapsed. I know that I couldn't stand idly by while watching a kid beat up another kid until he lost his conciousness and still feel like a good person.

If you think that we've hit rock bottom yet with this scene, think again.. Jay's and Helen's complete lack of concern makes Bart's actions seem like this was a healthy, acceptable way of helping people deal with their anger. That this is something normal in a sibling relationship. Worse, that offering someone to hurt you so that they can relieve their anger is something that is expected of you. A relationship where one part is expected to take responsibility for the other's negative emotions is a twisted, damaging one. You get what this is saying? "Someone's anger justifies them hurting and beating you up." This is just as bad as "abuse justifies abuse" (Which is also being taught here.) God, those are terrible, atrocious morals to teach to people. What Helen should have done with Thad the moment he moved in with them was taking him to an anger management class and getting him a good therapist, not ignore/encourage Thad's abusive tendencies.

Jay sat down at the table. "He's not as mean as his brother though. That kid...For his own grandfather to make him like that..." Jay shook his head with a frown. "If I ever get a chance to meet that man..." He clenched his fist on the table. "I hope I never do."

"Same here", Helen replied.

Seems like Thad's not the only one who takes a liking to being hypocritical and two-faced. This makes total sense, talk about poor Thad and all the abuse he went trough, but completely ignore the fact that he is abusing and actively inflicting pain on Bart right now. They're furious about what Thawne did to Thad, but when Thad does the same things to Bart it's totally okay and fair. In case you couldn't tell, this is a shit moral. Stop trying to justify abuse by saying that the abuser has been trough a lot and just needs an outlet. Having been abused does not give Thad the right to ruin Bart's life. It does not give him the permission to be a toxic jerk to him. He should be held accountable for his actions. Abuse doesn't justify abuse.

Chapter: 18

"So, you don't know anything on how to properly maintain it." Thad snorted and rolled his eyes. "Wonderful. Do you know where engineering is? Take me there. I'll do what you neglected to do and actually learn about the mechanics of this ship." Bart opted to ignore Thad's nasty tone, brushing it aside as just how Thad talked.

....................................

"If I'll get lonely, I'll come visit." Thad snidely assured. Not wanting to listen to another degrogatory rant, Bart decided to just let Thad find the room on his own.

This is critizising and judging and a put down, delivered with a very very condescending tone and manner. Do me a favor and take a shot everytime you read the sentences "Thad snorted" or Thad rolled his eyes." You'll be drunk in no time, trust me. Bart has been exposed to Thad's emotional abuse so long that at this point he is willing to accept Thad's verbal abuse as normal.

Chapter: 19

Thad:"They probably got distracted by with something shiny."

Thanks again Thad, for enforcing hurtful insults and exaggerated stereotypes about people with ADHD.

Thad:"Moron! Can't you come up with something that simple?"

Again with the name calling and the put down linked to Bart's ADHD.

"He's a nuisance" grumbled Thad.

"Not that I've had much first hand experience, but that's what siblings generally are, from what I've heard."

"So wanting to strangle Bart is normal?" Cissi laughed. "Everyone's wanted to strangle Bart at one point or another. That's just him."

Oh now it all makes sense! It's Bart's own fault for being abused because he's so annoying! Remember folks, if you've been abused, it's your own fault. If you hadn't been so burdensome, they wouldn't have treated you this way. They can't be responsible for their actions, it has to be you! How can we expect them to control their impulses and get a handle on their anger? That really would be too much to ask of them. The victim is to blame for being abused, that's obviously the logical conclusion here, right? God I hate this fic so much.

This whole conversation serves one purpose: Normalizing and rationalizing Thad's repugnant behavior towards Bart. Look! This is how healthy sibling relationships work! This is how they're supposed to be! Except not really.

This conservation is actually very cleverly done, because it only shows Thad's oppinion while stimuntaneously making it seem like Cissi agrees with his values about relationships when she's really not. They're coming from two completely different points of views, but that is concealed here.

Starting with the "He's a nuisance."

"That's what siblings generally are."

I get her statement, there will be many times when one can get annoyed with their sibling and not find themselves in an abusive relationship. Every sibling pair fights and argues, that's in the nature of things. It only gets problematic when that's literally the only thing you do. When the only thing you are to each other is an annoyance and someone to get mad at. When every encounter with them ends in hurtful words and accusations. Indicating that your brother/sister is sometimes a nuisance in a playful, teasing way is fairly common in healthy sibling relationships. "Those 5 minutes before you were born? Haha, those were the best 5 minutes of my life." Something like this is normal. The problem here? Thad doesn't mean what he says in a sarcastic or playful way. He's completely serious with this. This is all he sees in Bart. An annoying idiot who always stands in his way. There's no sympathy and no compassion for Bart. Only unjustified resentment and hatred. See, in a positive brother or sister relationship the individuels really love each other. Despite the jokes they sometimes make about not wanting the other around, they see more in their sibling than an annoyance. Thad doesn't, and that's what Cissi misunderstands. Thad is dead serious about his feelings towards Bart in this conversation. All he sees in Bart is a nuisance he has to tolerate. He has nothing but contempt for him. He doesn't try to see more in him than that. Thad has no right to complain about Bart. He has been nothing but nice to him. Despite all the shit he put Bart through, despite Bart still tolerating and trying to support Thad in every way he could, Thad somehow still has the audacity, the arrogance to make himself out to be the victim in this situation. Thad is an abusive jerk to him, if anyone has the right to vent, it's Bart.

Moving on to the "So wanting to strangle him is normal?" argument. Feeling a desire to hurt your sibling 24/7 just for existing isn't normal. Cissi means what she say in a more playful, harmless way. None of Bart's friends would go through with harming Bart because he was annoying them. There's a big difference between wanting to do something, and actually doing something. Moreover, Cissi doesn't get that Thad would like to hurt Bart all the time and not only when he was being annoying. Thad wants to hurt Bart even when he is nice to him. Thad means it in a "If Bart looks im my direction one more time I might strangle him and I really don't care if I accidently suffocate him and he dies." Cissi doesn't. Thad is aggressive and violent to him for absolute no reason. The emotions Thad feels towards Bart aren't normal, not in the least. Stop trying to justify his abusive behavior.

And, I think this goes without saying, hurting someone solely because they're annoying you isn't okay, either.

That I Love You 2/2

Older!Damian Wayne X West! Reader

Warnings:explicit language

Words:1153

Y/N West, deals with heartache of having the one she loves the most not there for her when she needed him

My God Parents Dick and Barbara. My cousin Lian. Barry and Iris. Some of the team members. All came to see, me. Though the one I hopped to see the most never came. I guess I didn't mean that much to, Damian. That really hurts. Why does Damian make me feel so joyful and sad at the same time. Why do I have to love him? 2 weeks later. I'm home, and I'm thankfully ok. All healed up. So why do I feel so broken? Why didn't Damian care to at least ask me 'are you ok?'. I took a literal bullet for him. Was our friendship nothing to him? I lay in my bed unable to stop from tossing and turning. Get out of my head, Damian! I sat up wearing my t-shirt and pajama pants. My room is upstairs with a window. I speed on top of the roof. I take a deep breath feeling the gentle night breeze. I then nearly gasp seeing my brother. He snuck out! I motion my eyes and head next to me. He speeds next to me sitting by me. He put his knees upward and held his wrist. I cross my legs.

He laughs nervously "so hahaha I bet you're wondering where I went"

"uh-huh"

"in the middle of the night?" he questioned with a nervous voice

"uh-huh" I said again

He rubs his neck "Jennifer" he slightly chuckled "guess lightning didn't just give me a chance to save lives it became apart of something so much more"

"Aww, Jai I had no idea and I never new how adorable you sound talking about your crush"

"fuck please don't start getting all damn sensitive on me. I'll never talk to you about my relationships again"

"relationship!"

He face planted "shit"

I laugh holding his arm "just be glad she, cares about you back"

"the hell is that suppose to mean?"

"do you have to read into everything I say" I sighed

"Y/N c'mon I already feel embarrassed as fuck. It'd be nice for you to feel the same"

"gee thanks" I knew, he wasn't serious that he's actually curious and he cares about me

"guess mine is sorta like a bird"

"Damian? That asshole?"

"don't call him that!" I demanded hitting his neck

"look I'm not trying to be an ass but.. He fucking left. He brought you to the Med-bay and then leaves you. You deserve better than, Y/N"

"Jai, I don't know why he left but.. I-I-I--" I feel my words stuck in my throat I felt rejected by, Damian "I still fucking care about him. I am not really mad am just.." I feel my eye's swell "hurt" I started crying

Jai, places his hand on my shoulder and I hug my brother tightly. After four hours of Mom and Dad telling me to be safe I went to the hub. I step inside each of my friends greet me with hugs. I then feel my breath hitch, my surroundings are blurred and I see only him. Damian. Why is he so damn attractive?

"H/N, you're late"

I feel as if my heart is being stabbed "that's it!"

"tt, you still are in need of recovery. You--"

Now I'm really pissed "alright you opinionated jerk! We are discussing a few things, before I really make a scene" I demanded

"tt"

"now!" I nearly screamed pointing to the balcony

We step to the balcony with each of the team members eye's locked on us. We made it outside. I glare at, Damian enraged as he folded his arms.

"you jerk!"

"you already stated such"

I ignore his remark "I took a bullet for you, jerk! Literally! And you couldn't even manage the decency after the shit I've put up with from you! You couldn't even oh I don't know say thank you! Or you could have come to see me!.. You fucking hurt me like that" I nearly cried "say something!" he grunted "that doesn't count"

"dammit, Y/N! I know! Dammit I know"

I sigh deeply folding my arm's "what happened to us?"

"we grew up and grew apart. We're not children, we'll I never was--"

"oh, please you can't deny that I had a little bit of influence on you"

"as I was saying we changed"

"not really I mean I'm still fun and you're still no fun at all. We balance each other"

"you truly believe that?"

"yeah, well no duh. Don't you?"

He steps to me. I look at the ground knowing he is looking at me. I sigh under my breath.

I sadly smile "you must think I'm so weak"

"Y/N, you're one of the strongest people I know"

"Aww Damian you're complementing me"

"tt" he said

Damian, put his hand on my shoulder making my heart race. I place mine on his I shut my eye's not wanting to see the look on his face. Fearing it'd break my heart.

"thanks" I softly said

"enough!" he demanded pulling his hand away and steps away abruptly

"what the hell is your problem" I ask with a brittle voice.

I open my eyes with a heavy heart. He sighs heavily then breathing heavy with rage

"I should be the one thanking you! Dammit, Y/N! I don't deserve this! You need to stay as far as away as you can from me. I'm--" I cut him off

"alright that is it! You're the one who has the temper but I'm done! You are not finishing that damn sentence!" I feel my eye's swell and then I started crying. I hate crying! I continued "because it's a lie! You are going to listen to me! If you so much as think for a moment you are not good enough or you're a monster. Or anything unimportant in my life! Shit, Dami. It's not true"

I cried a little harder because I'm hurting a little bit more. I hate he can't see himself they way I do. I hate even more that I can't stop loving him. I sniff trying to dry the raining tears. I look of to the side not wanting him to see me breaking.

"Y/N, I may not ever comprehend how you somehow see good in me" he takes a deep breath I look at him allowing my tears to fall "I admire you for caring about me given how I've treated you throughout our friendship" he takes a deep breath "dammit if the reason for my heart is aching to be, with you mean I love you"

It was in this moment we broke the walls down together. I touch his chin he tenderly places his forehead on mine.

"I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't feel the same. You know I was more scared to lose you than me dying"

He softly smiled and kisses me. The kiss tender, though longing. I feel myself smile within the kiss.
