I think it would be so much fun if Cass didn’t know. All she knows is that this teenager is brother shaped and he totally fits in with them. Yeah okay she can see that there are some anger issues underneath but she’ll be there to make sure nothing happens. She’s confident that she could take him down if he were to go into a frenzy.
So, new brother: acquired.
Prompt:
Brucie Wayne gets into a mild accident in public (read-got hit by a car). And Batman would just walk it off (“it’s barely a bruise”), but Brucie obviously… can’t.
So he has to suffer the ordeal of having civilians call paramedics, getting fussed over, and having-
Having his dead son get into the back of the ambulance with him.
Oh- oh no. He must have hit his head worse than he thought. He thought he was past this…
#also pls i need a fic where Dick Bruce Tim and Alfred don’t even care if it’s an imposter#it talks like Jay and acts like Jay and reminisces in a snarky fashion like Jay and that’s alll that matters#it’s Jason and none of them want to hear otherwise#no sir they are not listening to reason#Clark if you suggest checking him for truthfulness Bruce will break out the hidden stash of kryptonite#Cass doesn’t care either way because she’s never known the original Jason and this one suits her just fine#Jason is going crazy trying to figure out what everyone’s deal is#like— aren’t they gonna at least check his DNA???#why is everyone being so chill after the initial shock????#and when Jason can’t immediately recall something (because nobody remembers EVERYTHING) Dick gets this panicked look in his eyes#and changes the subject#nobody wants to out the imposter and risk Jason leaving#okay this took a whole new direction#and might not fit here#but shhhhhhh#leave me to my dreams#batfam#bruce and jason get in a car crash#Cassandra Cain#dick grayson#batdad#Batman#Bruce Wayne#Jason todd#bruce and jason#inspiration

I have a headcanon- (not in the actual comics but yknow the bat fam fandom)- that in his robin days Jason would wish that he'd get hurt on patrol so that Dick would come to the manor and comfort him.
He thought since Dick hated him, maybe if he got to be a big brother in an event where bruce was absent, they could bond.
The first time Jay got shot, he woke up in the cave infirmary and looked around to find Dick, who wasn't there. What he did hear was Dick yelling at Bruce over the comms.
That day, he also realized that Bruce didn't care if he got hurt, only that it could have been prevented. The only one who cared about Jason for Jason was Alfred. And thats why they have such a close bond.
Anyways. Enjoy some Jason todd pain

Ugh scenarios where Bruce is literally suicidal, and has made many attempts, but keeps getting interrupted by his kids and alfred but they don't realise what he was going to do?and they don't know his mental state was that bad?? Sign me up cause I fucking love angst and hurt/comfort
13 yr old Bruce about to slit his throat in the bathroom, but alfred comes out of nowhere and tells him dinner is ready, he made his favourite cause he saw he looked off recently, and Bruce just goes out calmly and hugs him super tight?? Bruce, about to make a decision to end his life after he's all done raising dick (after he becomes nightwing) and knows that dick is set on the right path now and going to crime alley where his parents were shot to end it but ends up meeting jason instead?? After jason when he tied up all loose ends, closed cases, secured gotham good enough, About to go on patrol for one last time, then after he'll jump off, but then meets tim that evening saying he knows who he is?? Meeting cass just when he was planning to do it cause he genuinely hated himself, but seeing so many similarities between him and cass, knowing she sees them too and scared that after he suicides she'll get those ideas too cause they're so similar? Decides to try to help her?? Meeting nightwing when he was going to jump off cause dick wanted to surprise him from blud and he just thought Bruce was brooding?? getting a call from Damain in the middle of the day when he was about to stage a car crash and listens as damian (mad at him) asks him to come to the school to pick him up cause he got suspended for 2 days for knocking out a student for being racist.
CAN U IMAGINE A CONFRONTATION WHERE BRUCE THOUGHT THEY ALREADY KNEW?? AND HES TAKING THIS CASUAL BUT THEYRE FUCKING NOT??

Jason crashes a car already on the phone with Bruce who is speeding to him.
Tim is falling asleep at the office and wants to go home dad please pick me up. Waking up tucked in Bruce's bed.
Damian gets in a fight at school you call my father right now. He suspended but Bruce hugs him on the way out.
Cass standing face to face with David Cain the man who should have been her father but isn't but before she can scream for Bruce she's wrapped in his cape.
Duke calling Bruce because the kids at school have never been nice to a kid from the wrong side of the tracks and getting ice cream just because.
Stephanie just calling Bruce to talk knowing no matter how busy he is there will be time for her.
Babs who even though Jim Gordon is a great man after a nightmare about the joker only wants one man. Bruce running in the middle of the night to her door. Wrapping his batgirl in his arms.
Kids who aren't afraid to call Dad. He wont be mad he wants them to call. To know he will drop everything to get to his boys, or his girls. Scared birds shouting for the big bad bat and he comes running.

head over heels – jason todd
synopsis. jason todd is smitten and everyone is tired of it
contents. fluff, ooc?, so much banter and pining its painful, like can they just kiss already
notes. short moments i had written but decided to combine into one fic. maybe i'll make a pt 2. not proofread...
There have only been a few occasions where Jason’s family has seen him smile. And even then, it was usually a sick smirk as he wreaked havoc on his enemies. So, imagine their shock when they watch their brooding, battle-hardened brother smile at you, of all people.
You.
His sworn enemy. A dramatic title, sure, but fitting. Ever since the two of you met, you had butted heads at every opportunity. Your strong personalities clashed and neither of you were willing to back down. In fact, you had become a fixture in each other’s lives. Two forces of nature neither could ignore.
And right now, the storm was brewing once again.
"You were in my territory again, asshole!" You jab a finger into his chest, close enough to feel the heat radiating off him.
Jason scoffs, arms crossing as he looms over you. "Your territory? Last time I checked, Bruce took it away after that drug ring went out of control. Don't think you can handle it alone, sweetheart."
Your jaw drops. "Excuse me?!" Your voice pitches up, outrage and disbelief mixing together as your hands curl into fists at your sides.
On the sidelines, Dick nudges Damian toward the exit of the Batcave. "We should go before it gets violent."
"That, or they're finally going to kiss," Tim mutters, eyes glued to the scene. It’s like watching a car crash– horrific, yet impossible to look away from.
Jason doesn’t acknowledge them. He’s too busy watching you, his entire focus drawn to the way your face contorts in frustration, how your lips part as you struggle for a retort.
"You heard me," Jason says, tilting his head slightly, eyes gleaming with something unreadable. "You were wounded when we found you. Wounded, and alone."
You huff, crossing your arms as if that could protect you from the memory. "I was fine."
Jason gives an exasperated laugh, running a hand through his hair. "You call a gunshot wound fine?"
"Just a gunshot wound," you correct, jaw tightening. "Nothing new around here."
"Just a gunshot wound?!" Jason repeats, incredulous. "I had to carry your stubborn ass out of there!"
"I didn't ask you to!"
Jason exhales sharply through his nose, nostrils flaring. "Yeah, well, it’s not like I wasn’t going to!"
The argument should feel tense. But instead, there's a crackling undercurrent, something unspoken lingering in the space between you.
What you don’t see, what everyone else in the Cave does is the way Jason is looking at you. Not with his usual scowl, not with the biting irritation that fuels your bickering, but something softer.
A smile ghosts across his lips. It’s subtle, but there nonetheless. Like a cat discreetly preening under attention, soaking in every word, every ounce of energy you throw his way.
And the moment his siblings notice, chaos erupts.
“Holy shit,” Tim whispers, eyes wide.
Dick sucks in a breath like he’s just witnessed something forbidden.
Damian, ever the blunt one, sneers. "Disgusting."
Jason barely notices. He’s too busy watching you, fighting the way his lips twitch up again as you huff and look away, cheeks a little warmer than before.
“You are absolutely insufferable, Todd.”
His smile widens, “You know you love it.”
Turns out, you and Jason can't even be within a fifty mile radius of each other without making everyone around you feel strangely uncomfortable.
Dick makes a mental note to never let the two of you spar again. At least, not with an audience. Whenever you and Jason were in the same space, the rest of the world might as well not exist. And the tension. It was painfully suffocating.
The Batcave was dead silent except for the sound of heavy breathing and the sharp clash of fists meeting blocks. Everyone had been watching for the past twenty minutes as you and Jason fought, your movements sharp and teetering between training and an actual fight.
To be fair, no one expected the two of you to take it easy on each other. You never had before.
Jason wiped his mouth with the back of his hand after you landed a solid hit to his jaw. Instead of being pissed, though, he grinned. It was a dangerous thing that made your stomach do an annoying little flip.
"Not bad," he admitted, rolling his shoulders.
You smirked. "Starting to sound impressed, Todd."
Jason lunged, and before you could dodge, he swept your legs out from under you. You barely had time to brace yourself before your back hit the mat, the air leaving your lungs in a sharp exhale. In the next second, Jason was above you, his body caging you in, pinning your wrists down on either side of your head.
And suddenly, everything felt different.
The heat between you wasn’t just from exertion anymore. The way he was looking at you with his weight pressing down just enough to make your breath catch, it wasn’t just about winning a fight.
"Not starting to," Jason murmured, voice lower now, more serious. "I’ve been impressed."
Your throat went dry.
You could feel everyone’s eyes on you, but you didn’t dare look away from Jason. His pupils were blown wide, chest rising and falling against yours, and…
Oh. Oh no.
He was smiling. And it wasn't a smirk. It was a real, genuine smile.
And worst of all, you found yourself smiling back.
The two of you stayed locked in a daze until you heard a cough in the background, a sharp reminder that the two of you were not alone. It knocks you out of your trance.
You take his short moment of weakness to headbutt him, leaving the male in a daze. Without wasting the split second advantage, it was your turn to pin him down.
“I guess I could say the same for you,” you shrug. “Could be better, but satisfactory.”
Jason groans at the impact of your forehead on his, “Has anyone ever told you that you have a hard head?”
“Yeah,” you snort, looking down at Jason. “You.”
Jason lets out a breathy chuckle beneath you, eyes still unfocused from the headbutt. "Yeah, well. Doesn't make it any less annoying."
You shift slightly, keeping his wrists pinned to the mat, and his grip tightens under your hands. It was instinctual, a sign that he isn’t actually letting you win. His chest rises and falls beneath yours, warm despite the cool air of the cave.
And then, there it is again. That rare, infuriatingly soft smile that no one ever sees.
You freeze for half a second. It’s barely noticeable, but Jason doesn’t miss a thing. His smirk stretches just a little wider, eyes gleaming in that way that makes your stomach twist.
"What?" he drawls, voice lower now, amused. "Distracted?"
You shove off him with a huff, standing up as fast as possible. Jason barely has time to react before you're already a few steps away, arms crossed, pretending like that moment didn’t just happen.
But Jason is still on the ground, propped up on his elbows, looking far too pleased with himself.
Dick, who had been trying very hard to mind his business, sighs dramatically. "For the love of God, just kiss already."
You whip around, glaring. "Gross! Nobody asked you, Grayson!"
Jason, still grinning like an idiot, finally hauls himself to his feet, rubbing the spot on his forehead where you hit him. "Y'know, for someone who acts like they hate me, you sure do love touching me."
You glare at him for enabling their behavior. "That's not true, and you know it."
Jason steps closer, slow, deliberate. Not enough to be threatening, but enough that the air between you tense again. Enough that you feel the heat radiating off him.
He’s still smiling.
Your breath catches.
Jason tilts his head. "Something wrong?"
You curse under your breath, shove past him, and stomp out of the Batcave without another word.
Jason watches you go, still rubbing his forehead, still smiling.
Tim exhales, shaking his head. "That was painful to watch."
Jason just chuckles. "Yeah," he mutters to himself, grin still lingering. "It was."
2 a.m. stakeouts were the worst.
It was cold and boring, the kind of hours that made you question why you even did this hero thing in the first place. To make matters worse, you were stuck on patrol with Jason, so there was no semblance of peace in the quiet Gotham night.
By the time you and Jason finally wrapped up surveillance, both of you were starving. There wasn’t a debate about it, just a silent agreement as he gunned his motorcycle toward a late-night diner on the outskirts of Gotham.
Now, you were sitting across from him in a vinyl booth, watching in mild horror as he absolutely demolished a double bacon cheeseburger.
"You eat like you just got out of prison," you observed, idly stirring your milkshake with a straw.
Jason wiped his mouth with a napkin, raising an eyebrow. "And?"
You rolled your eyes, taking a sip of your shake. "Nothing. Just surprised you have manners at all."
Jason chuckled, low and warm, shaking his head. And then, before you could process it, there it was again.
That damn smile. It was the kind of expression no one ever saw on him. The kind of smile that didn’t belong to Gotham’s deadliest vigilante.
The kind of smile that, apparently, only appeared when he was with you.
You felt your pulse stutter in your throat, caught completely off guard.
Jason must’ve noticed, because his smirk returned instantly, cocking his head, surging with a newfound sense of confidence. And you're not sure if you like that. "Like what you see?"
Your mouth opened. Then closed. Then opened again. "You wish."
Jason leaned back against the booth, arms stretching over the seat as he regarded you with amusement. "Yeah," he said, way too casually, "I do."
You nearly choked on your fries, “Geez, Todd. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that you were flirting with me.”
Jason raises an eyebrow.
“And if I was?”
“I would have to check to see where the real Jason is.”
“He’s right here.”
You eye him suspiciously.
Jason watches you carefully, his smirk still in place but not as sharp, not as mocking. There’s something else there. It’s something you can’t quite place, something that makes your pulse stutter.
"You’re acting weird," you say, pointing a fry at him. "Where’s all the unnecessary aggression? The brooding?"
Jason exhales, shaking his head. "Maybe I just don’t feel like fighting tonight."
You raise a brow, popping the fry into your mouth. "That’s a first."
He leans back against the booth, arms stretching lazily over the seat, but there’s tension in his shoulders, in his fingers tapping idly against the vinyl. "Yeah, well," he muses, eyes flicking to you, "arguing with you is exhausting."
"You love arguing with me," you counter easily, leaning back to mirror his posture. "You start half of them."
Jason hums, tilting his head as if considering it. "Maybe," he allows. Then, after a beat, "Maybe I just like getting a rise out of you."
Your breath catches for half a second.
Jason’s watching you now, really watching you, his gaze too steady, too knowing.
You force a scoff. "So what I’m hearing is, you’re an instigator."
Jason grins at that, but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes. "You always read too much into things," he says, but there’s no real bite to it. If anything, he almost sounds amused.
Your stomach twists uncomfortably. You blame the fries.
Silence stretches between you, not awkward, but charged. There’s an awareness now, a shift in the air, like something unspoken lingers just beneath the surface.
Jason looks at you, and for the first time tonight, his smirk fades—not completely, but just enough.
Just enough that the teasing falls away. Just enough that you catch a glimpse of something softer.
Something terrifying.
You don’t know who looks away first, but when you do, your heart is hammering a little too hard against your ribs.
Jason clears his throat, reaching for his drink. "So," he says, back to casual, back to easy, "you gonna finish your fries or what?"
You huff a quiet laugh, shaking your head as you push the basket toward him. "Knock yourself out, tough guy."
Jason takes one, popping it into his mouth. He doesn’t say anything else, but when you glance at him again, there’s that damn smile.
It’s subtle, but it was just for you.
Across the comms, Dick sighs, exasperated but entertained. “Do they have any idea we can all hear them?”

BATS AND SUPES
Summary: Every bat needs their superperson.
Pairing(s): Dick Grayson, Jason Todd x fem! Reader
A/N: unedited. Kinda hate both these endings but it is what it is :)
DICK GRAYSON
Dick was going to be sick. Oh, he's going to throw up; what had he been thinking? Calling himself Nightwing, what were you going to think? Oh god, what if you hated it? What if you thought it was weird or creepy?
He's so distracted by his spiralling thoughts that he miscalculates the distance of his next jump, an undignified yelp leaving him as he begins to fall.
A pair of hands suddenly catches him by the biceps, and he's floating. Heart still thundering in his chest from his clumsy near miss, Dick looks up to see you smirking down at him.
"And to think I almost didn't come and visit you tonight." You teased, flying over to the closest rooftop and dropping him down, your eyes trailing over the blue emblem on his chest. "Heard you'd changed your name, trying to send me a message, pretty bird?"
Your smile was still as gorgeous as ever, eyes sparkling mischievously as Dick practically choked on his own tongue.
He could still remember the first time he'd witnessed you on the news. You'd been thrown into a building, the resulting explosion drowning out the screams of the nearby bystanders.
Even though you'd been strangers then, Dick had watched with his heart in his throat, worry flooding his veins for the girl who couldn't have been much older than him.
But you'd been unscathed, rising from the ashes like a Phoenix, skin unblemished by the roaring flames.
If he was being truthful with himself, he’d been enraptured with you ever since then. His first meeting with you was still a blur; he'd been a bundle of nerves and excitement, and you'd just smiled at him indulgently.
Honestly, he'd been smitten from the get-go.
You'd actually been the one to tell him the story of Nightwing after he'd compared that clip of you to a Phoenix. Naturally, you'd had no idea what that was, and once he'd described the mythical bird you'd lit up, launching into an explanation of Flamebird and Nightwing.
It had been his favourite nickname for you ever since, you were his Flamebird, and he'd always wanted to be your Nightwing.
"Rob, er, Nightwing?" Your grin has died a little, a modicum of concern shining in your eyes.
He can do this, he can be suave, sweep you off your feet like Bruce does for his dates.
“You… I… Go out with me!” He practically shouts in your face, mortification flooding his veins as you freeze like a deer in headlights, “please!” He softly tacks on.
You say his name so softly, hesitantly that Dick fears you’re about to reject him and his mouth opens without his permission once more. “Just hear me out! Ever since I first saw you, you’re all I can think about. You’re vibrant, passionate, lively, everything I want in a partner. I want to be your partner. Please, just give me a chance!”
You interrupt his nervous rambling, tugging him by the front of his new costume and pulling him into an enthusiastic kiss.
“I was beginning to think you’d never admit it.” You grinned at him, making him sputter.
“You… what? You knew?”
“Course I did, you’re as subtle as a car crash, Nightwing.” You whispered in his ear mischievously, flying quickly out of his grasp and leaving him flushed and reeling.
It’s not until you’ve disappeared from his sight that he startled back into the land of the living. “Wait!” He goes to chase after you only to nearly melt into the floor at the sight of Superman and Batman watching from the adjacent rooftop.
Clark was all smiles, practically vibrating in excitement. But it was Bruce’s smirk that he Dick wanting to evaporate, he could practically hear the man’s thoughts.
That was an embarrassing watch.
An arm wraps around his waist and Dick screams a little as you suddenly take off, clinging to you desperately as you laugh at him.
He’s going to get you back, he swears.
JASON TODD
You hated Gotham. It was a cesspit of suffering and grime, not to mention the near-constant rainfall. It wasn't enough to be miserable; it had to be miserable and wet.
Yet despite your immense dislike for the city, Kon had a nasty habit of dragging you along every time he visited Tim.
There'd been a time you were a frequent occupant of Wayne Manor, but you'd taken to avoiding it, the once-welcoming home having become too cold in the wake of Jason's death.
You tried to avoid Bruce too, he tried to hide it, but the man couldn't quite prevent his expression neutral whenever he saw you. His brows pinched and eyes glazed as they trail behind you, as if expecting to see Jason chasing after you.
You liked Tim well enough, but he wasn't your Robin and you weren't his super.
The manor was stifling, and you'd decided you'd rather brave the streets of Gotham than stay a second longer in that haunted house.
You float through the streets aimlessly, punching out the occasional thug in a misplaced attempt to expel some of your grief. Your sensitive ears leading you toward various ongoing crimes.
It's how you stumble across him. The Red Hood. You’d heard about him, mostly through Kon who’d heard through Tim, most things less than savoury. A murderer, a savage crime lord, a real pain in the ass.
You watch a little dispassionately as he shatters the kneecap of the unfortunate criminal stupid enough to get within grappling range.
Briefly, you wonder what they'd done to incite such brutality, but all of that quickly falls away as you listen to the thump, thump, thump of his heartbeat. A heartbeat you’d recognise in your sleep, one you’d thought forever gone from the world.
You pay no mind to the guns, or the audience of hoodlums, which you swiftly deal with in record time before your arms are wrapped tightly around the shoulders of one of Gotham’s most notorious crime lords.
He grunts at the impact, no doubt ready to fend off the sudden attacker only to freeze at the sound of your voice. “Jason.” You breathe softly, just for his ears, clutching him as if trying to prevent grains of sand from slipping through your fingers. “Oh, Jason.”
“How did you…” He rasps, arms dropping limply. Not that you had any doubt, but his reaction just further cements your conviction.
As loathe as you are to pull away, you do so, resting a palm over his chest. Your fingers curl over the wing of the red bat as you feel the reassuring pump of his heart against your hand.
He should pull away and put a stop to the unnervingly public display, but Jason's missed you. Since he'd regained enough of his senses to remember who you were, he'd missed you more than anything. And then you speak again, and there was nothing on the planet that could pull him away from your touch.
“Because. I know my Robin’s heart. I know your heart.”
His gloved hand reaches up to clasp over yours as the other removes his helmet, “It’s still yours.” He admits hoarsely, staring at you apprehensively as you take in the details of his aged and scarred face.
"What?" You whisper hesitantly, not daring to let yourself hope he meant what you thought.
“My heart. It still belongs to you. It always has.” You couldn't prevent the tears that slid down your cheeks if you wanted.
Jason thinks you break one of his ribs with how tightly you embrace him. It’s totally worth it.

Grandfathered In
There, a job well done. Alfred thought to himself as he put the last grocery bag in the back of the car. Meal planning and shopping for a family as large as his own (and their semi frequent unexpected guests) did take quite a bit of his time but he'd managed to finish a bit early this week.
Alfred was thinking fondly of spending his extra time with a nice cup of tea and a book when he heard a noise from the nearby alley.
He stilled and listened intently. That was the sound of someone in pain. A child in pain if he wasn't mistaken (a sound he would rather he wasn't so familiar with). Well then, the tea would have to wait.
Alfred quietly moved into the alleyway, his hand inside his coat gripping the pistol hidden there. Hurt child or not, it never hurts to be cautious in Gotham.
"Good Heavens!"
There was a boy with pure white hair and bright, barely open, luminous green eyes. He was curled up, partially hidden by the dumpster, clearly barely clinging to consciousness and was oozing bright green blood from a large abdominal wound as well as several smaller cuts and burns.
He approached slowly and held out his hands to try to appear as friendly and non threatening as possible. "You appear to be in a bit of trouble young sir, perhaps I can help?"
The boy nodded weakly and Alfred knelt down and reached to pick him up. Best to get him into the car quickly and make use of his emergency first aid kit to stabilize the boy then get him home for further treatment. The hospital clearly wasn't an option for the young Meta... or alien perhaps? Something to ask once the boy was up to it.
Alfred carefully cradled the child and briskly moved back towards the car. He appeared to be a young teenager but he weighed so little, Alfred almost felt as though he was holding a toddler rather than a teen.
He lay the boy down in the back seat and leaned over to reassure him, gently moving his hair out of his eyes and petting is head in a soothing gesture. "There now, we'll have you right as rain in no time."
"Ha" the injured young Meta tried to laugh. "Might take...some time.. Don't ya think?"
Oh he'd fit right in, Alfred couldn't help thinking. Sassing even as he lay there bleeding. Well, in spirit if not quite the usual appearance, Alfred considered, eyeing the white hair and bright green eyes but-
A bright white suddenly light filled the car. Alfred blinked away the spots from his vision then stared in astonishment at the now black haired, blue eyed boy before him. Well then, fit right in indeed.
*****
Bruce blearily wandered into the kitchen and sat down at the table just barely holding in a yawn. He'd been in space on a mission with the Justice League for over 3 weeks and had only just gotten back to Earth in time to crash into bed and get a few hours of sleep before he had to be back up.
He reached for his coffee and looked around the table at his children. Tired as he was, it was good to be home. It even looked like everyone had made it for breakfast, a rare event for their family. Dick, Jason, Tim, Cass, Stephanie, Barbara, Damian, Duke and...
"Who's this?" Bruce asked with friendly smile. Did one of his kids make a new friend?
Alfred silently appeared next to him. "That is your son."
"My son?" What was happening? Bruce was too tired for this. He counted again, Dick, Jason, Tim, Cass, Stephanie, Barbara, Damian, Duke and...he looked closely at the last one. Black hair, blue eyes. Looks like one of his... He had no idea who this child was.
"Your son." Alfred said firmly as he sat some papers next to Bruce's plate.
Bruce looked down. Those were adoption papers.
"Oh. My. God." Stephanie whisper screamed from across the table. "That's where B got the adoption habit from!"
Bruce's attention was diverted from the multiple children trying to shush Stephanie as an uncapped pen was placed in front of him. He looked up as Alfred raised a single eyebrow and gave him a pointed look.
"Right, of course. My son."
He quickly scanned the adoption papers as he signed them then looked over at his latest child.
"Welcome to the family, Danny."
Note: I don't currently have plans to continue this. Anyone can add on if they would like to :-)

Danny’s Wayne adoption bait. The guy that owns the bodega knows it. Everyone and their mothers knows it. Danny, on the other hand, had no clue. To be fair, he had just crash landed in this dimension a week ago and his back was still sore from the weird design the car had.
(It’s only three weeks of homelessness later does Danny realize that he crash landed on the Batmobile. Whoops. Oh well. He’ll blame it on Clockwork if the vigilante asks after repair costs.)
(Bruce, on the other hand, is scouring the streets for this kid the car cams caught- oddly static filled footage- because his mind jumped to the worst case scenarios: a suicidal meta or a meta being threatened or a meta in a trafficking scheme or even worse all three at once and Bruce just can’t because there is a child in danger, he doesn’t have time to sleep.)
Danny rubbed at his back, eyes going watery at the memory. Sure, his wounds have healed over by now but the- heh- phantom pain is no joke. He shuddered, huddling closer to his threadbare hoodie. His only saving grace from getting jumped while walking the streets of Gotham at night is his invisibility and intangibility. Also, he’s floating, so “walking” doesn’t apply to him.
He’s gotta check on the kid he saved yesterday from a mugging, so Danny hurried along to the depilated apartment complex the kid was squatting in. Turning visible and tangible as he turns the corner, Danny glanced around for Amy.
“Danny!”
“Hey, kiddo. Doing alright?”
“Yeah! Come meet my gang!”
Danny felt his eyebrows rise to form Jazz’s exasperated look. Ouch. Waving the pain of losing Jazz away, Danny smiled at the excited girl.
“A gang? I wasn’t aware I was being brought to your almighty group.”
“Yeah! Uh, you actually helped a bunch of us so…”
Danny thought back to all those times he punted crooks away from robbing kids and shrugged. Yeah, what Amy said was likely.
“Kay, kiddo.”
She scowled, and Danny didn’t have the heart to tell her it looked more like a pout.
“You’re just a teenager.”
“Well, you’re a just a kid.”
Danny cackled as she chased him down the street, trying to kick his shins.
Life is good, even if he’s homeless and hungry.
——
“Jason.”
“Old man.” Jason mocks back, pausing his tasks. He waits as Bruce struggles to put his thoughts and feelings into words.
“There’s… a meta.”
“In Gotham?” Jason tilts back, hands halfway to his guns as a silent offer. Bruce shakes his head.
“A child. In Crime Alley.”
“In my turf?” Jason’s disquieting demeanor quickly swapped to a protective one.
“Trafficking, I think. Male, black hair…”
“Shit. Get Dickwing back here, he’s good with traumatized kids. I’ll go look for him.” Jason’s already moving, mind filtering through the kids he knows might have information to offer.
Bruce nods, shoulders relaxing. Jason smacks down the lump in his throat at the subtle sing of trust. “I’ll get Oracle and Red Robin on it.”
Jason morphs from Jay to Red Hood in one smooth step, helmet firmly placed on his head. He grunts in agreement, slinging his legs over his motorcycle. He roars off, mind half filled with tearing apart whatever traffickers dared to shit near his territory and the other half filled with worry for this possible kid.
——
Danny, as the Bats become aware of his existence, hands Amy and her kiddie gang a bag of fancy beef jerky.
“Try these with peanut butter, it’s kind of good.”
Amy stares at him, the judgement of an eight year old more piercing than anything he’s ever experienced.
“You’re fucking weird-”
“Language!” He squawks.
“-but sure, whatever you say, boss.”
“Boss?!”
The kids ignores his alarmed face.

World Burn
reader is highkey based off regina george
help half asleep and sick so this sucks extra ugh
oneshot
neglectful batfam x reader x darling
You grew up spoiled.
You had a mother and a father who both loved you very much.
M/N L/N and Bruce Wayne.
Despite all the embarrassing tantrums you'd throw, despite how you were wearing designer at a very young age, despite how rude you were to people you saw as "not worthy enough" for you, your parents' love never faded.
Your mother cradled you in her hands whenever you'd have a nightmare.
She'd give you anything you could've dreamed of.
Your parents were fully in love, and your family was great.
Your father would grant you everything.
He loved you to the moon and back.
You had two older brothers who cared for you.
Dick would take you out constantly, not caring about how much of a brat you were.
Jason would attempt to teach you how to have better manners and would be patient as well. You took all of that for granted.
You were never grateful for what you had.
You were spoiled.
Your mother died in a car crash when you were 13.
You couldn't cry.
You couldn't understand what was happening.
This wasn't fair.
She promised you she'd take you on a mother-daughter date.
she promised
You couldn't believe it.
Not long after, Jason died as well.You were tired.
Not only did you lose some of the people you loved most, but you didn't know what to do.
Dick, your father, and Alfred were all processing their deaths as well, and you didn't have much support.
sometimes you couldn't get out of bed.
sometimes you couldn't get up to do anything.
You didn't know what to do.You didn't know who to talk to.
You tried talking to your family, you did, but they purposely leave left.
You told yourself they were busy. You would no longer get updates on their life unless Alfred told you.
You didn't know bruce got stalked by a kid your age until Alfred mentioned it casually a couple of months later.
You only found out about Damian because of him barging into your room and insulting you.
You found out about Cass by accident because you bumped into her dance room.
You would be alone if it wasn't for your school friends.
At home, you were seen as the spoiled sister who would be rude to anyone in her way.At home, everyone avoided you and refused to acknowledge you at some points.
For a while, you were angry.
You channeled all of that anger into a stupid journal you made, one that talked shit about everyone in your family.
It did calm you down.
What also made you feel great was your school.
At school, you were popular.
The life of the party.
You had the best friend group.
Everyone either wanted to be you or be with you.
You were rich and pretty, and life was great.
Because of how your family didn't care about you, you were able to get in and out of the house whenever.
It was like that for most of your life.That was until a new girl joined your friend group.
Darling.
At first, it was great.
She was a loser nobody wanted, and you gave her a makeover.
You had someone new to hang out with.
Someone else to entertain you.
You noticed how slowly but surely, your family started to be obsessed with her.
The way that whenever you were around, they always asked about her.
Dick would ask Darling to hang out.
Jason would ask if she wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle.
Tim would offer to do anything with her.
Damian would let her hang around his pets.
Cass would talk to her.
Bruce would take her out shopping.
Hell, even Alfred liked Darling more than you! he taught her how to sew and bake, both things you had been begging to be taught.
You pretended like you didn't care.
After a couple of months, you had enough.
Darling was now part of their stupid secret club.
She wasn't a batgirl or Robin, but now she was excluding you.
She took over your spot in your friend group.
She took over your spot in the family.
You had nothing.
You had enough.
"So this is what I get for helping? Helping you fit in?"
"Darling, enjoy your temporary win."
You went to your room and pulled out the burn book, now dusty from it not being used in a while.
You grabbed your hot pink glitter gel pen and started writing on a blank page.
"This girl is a fugly cow. Do not trust her!"
You grabbed a photograph of you both cut her out, and glued a picture of yourself onto the page.
You grinned and got up to start making your way to your laptop, disabling the cameras.
As soon as you disabled them, you walked to the family office and photocopied the pages of the book.
Once they started printing, you made your way to where Alfred was, all the way in the kitchen.
You pretended to be crying and handed him the book
"Alfie–look what I found in Darling's room!"
He investigated the cover for a moment."What could this be?" he questioned
"Open it." you hid your face in your hands for your smile not be seen by him.
He opened the book to a random page and his eyes widened
You cleared your cheek of a fake tear "Oh I mean it's so awful! The things it says about me, the things it says about all of us–"
"Who could've written it?" Alfred asked
"'bruce wayne is a dirtbag slut'? How despicable!"
"'Damian Wayne is a spoiled brat'? Unkind!"
One was just a picture of Cass, the only thing written on it was "She speaks?!"
One page said "Y/N L/N is a fugly cow"
"There's only one person who isn't in it." you spoke up
"Darling."
"I'll have to talk with her. for now, please calm down madam–" you interrupted him by walking out, leaving him with his thoughts
You got up and started making your way to the office, and pulled out the pages from the printer.
You walked past the dark hallways, heels clacking on the floor. You started throwing the papers around, making sure to also spread them around your sibling's rooms.
You planted the camera disabler in Darling's room and waited a few seconds.
You knew they'd all meet up at the manor to get ready for patrol.
They got back, Bruce was the first to notice the pages.
Darling came in sitting on Dicks shoulders and talking to Jason.
Dick had a puzzled look on his face and set Darling down.
Everyone started taking a look at the pages, noticing how a lot of the pages had secrets they only told each other.
"who wrote this?"
"You're the only one I told!"
"he told!"
Before you knew it, war was breaking out.
You made sure to make a show of you going into the living room and being shocked.
You picked up a paper
"This one says 'Y/N L/N is a fugly cow'! who wrote this?"
You made sure to make your crocodile tears loud and animalistic, to get everyone's attention.
Fights were breaking out, more rough than usual.
Alfred was holding the burn book in his hands, talking to Bruce who was very clearly stressing, pulling on his hair.
There was a crowd of your siblings, fighting.
Darling was trying to defuse the situation, as usual, and failing.
Now was your chance.
You acted like you accidentally bumped into Alfred and made him drop the book.
Alfred's eyes widened as Jason picked it up.
He skimmed through it and noticed
"..Darling is the only one not in it."
You started making your way upstairs, bored.
You could deal with the rest tomorrow, right now you need your beauty sleep.
i hope this is understandable like genuinely
i hate this lol

jason todd puts flowers on his own grave.
it wa curiosity at first. after he'd spent a while at the league and mellowed out, formed a proper plan besides simply burning wayne manor to the ground, he wondered what his grave would say. they'd told him there had been a funeral, after all. probably closed casket, with an altered death certificate saying he'd died in a car crash or something. not like bruce could face the truth if it beat him with a crowbar.
beloved son? a generic lie.
loving brother? much the same.
something bitter rises in his throat as his feet hit worn, damp stone. the streets aren't familiar anymore.. even crime alley has changed - there must've been a turf war or something, because those goons following him most definitely aren't black mask's usual pick. then again, maybe old roman's changed, too.
he sighs in frustration when he meets a dead end. gone for just how many years and they brick up an entire street? ridiculous. he hears the telltale sign of weapons being drawn behind him before he turns around with his own.
gone but not forgotten? they'd moved on fine without him. everyone had.
he stashes their bodies behind some dumpsters and moves quick. he's not in much of a mood for a fight right now. he isn't in a mood to do much of anything; there's a strange sense of melancholy in his chest.
he makes it the rest of the way to gotham's main cemetery without another incident. it's relatively easy to find his place there. thomas and martha wayne have a large tree next to their joint grave, and he just assumed he'd be somewhere near them. he's a little surprised to see his headstone right on their left. that spot used to be saved for bruce.
tentatively, he reads the inscription.
jason todd.
...
he shouldn't be surprised, really, what else did he expect? he wasn't in any of their lives for long, they barely knew him. he thought he knew them, he was wrong. they didn't care. the only thing they wanted to remember about him was his name, birth and death date, he doesn't doubt they would've had a blank headstone if they could, hell, maybe there wouldn't even have been a funeral if he hadn't existed in the public eye, he might as well have been buried in an unmarked, shallow grave next to that goddamn warehouse-
a drop of rain tears him out of his spiral.
...inhale...
...exhale.
maybe he'd hoped they cared.
that little boy who died that night deserved to have someone that cared.
...because that boy had cared so, so much.
come next morning, he's gotten himself a shitty apartment in crime alley and there's a small bouquet of flowers in his hand as he visits his grave for the second time. there's none already there, not even wilted ones. but as he crouches down to give himself what he believes to be the first flowers that boy has ever gotten, something in the grass glitters, catching his eye.
his first thought is a used needle, but as he looks a little closer, he realizes it's a little bracelet.
it's a little rusty and definitely made for a kid. the chain is cheap and a bit chunky. but the charm, a tiny, half heart meant to be a matching set to another bff bracelet, brings back a flood of memories.
he knew he'd forgotten a couple things when he'd come back. most of it was unimportant stuff. there's a jane austen book he doesn't recall reading? great, he gets to experience it for the first time again. his favorite color? well, he knows it's not green for sure, and that's really the only thing he needs to know. which floor his room was in the manor? he was never going to go back, anyway.
but how could he ever have forgotten you?
that tiny bracelet, tucked away from prying eyes and grubby hands in the taller grass near his headstone and meant for a boy he no longer was, said that someone had cared. enough to visit him. enough to leave something he would have wanted to take with him.
and maybe, just maybe, if he keeps coming back... he'll see you again one day.
so jason todd puts flowers on his own grave. every week, every day. same time, same place.
for that boy who had cared, and his friend who missed him.
and one day, a little while after his grand plan had gone to shit, there are flowers in his hand again. he doesn't get to place them on his grave, though. when he spots someone standing there - different clothes, different hair, but the same eyes that had been his first love all those years ago… it’s like seeing you for the first time all over again.
those flowers are for you now.

When I was a kid (and older I never learned), I’d read books while walking, even at dusk while walking home from lessons. This resulted such incidents as: slamming into a parked car, walking into a telephone, walking into a glass door, tripping down some stairs in my house, nearly knocking myself on a low hanging light fixture. Just imagining little Jason walking around the manor, nose in a book, and an ABSOLUTE HAZARD to himself, driving Bruce insane. Ugh, thinking of an older Jason reintegrating into the family and he’s right back at it again- he never learns his lesson!
totally can see Bruce thanking the God because he can finally stop worrying over his son (Dick was doing flips through roofs of Gotham, but Jason is tame like that), only for Jason to read while doing anything and everything and having zero of thoughts about his surroundings. his happiness never last long.
Bruce: hey, lad, can you come to the first floor?
Jason, humming: sure
*the loud crashing sound*
Bruce, anxious: lad?!
Bruce, staring at Jason, who seemingly fell from the stairs but continues absolutely indifferently laying on his back, reading Virgina Wolf: ...
Bruce, sighing: okay
and you would think this is something Jason would outgrow eventually... expect, it gets worse when he becomes Red Hood. at least Jaybin would sometimes register pain and get a wake-up call. Red Hood? no feel of any pain of whotsever. add him constantly getting dissociated and catching derealisations after his death, and it is an awful combo. Bruce is spiralling without a no end.
Tim, squinting: guys, is that Hood on his favourite gargoyle with a book?
Dick, focused on whoever they are hunting down: probably, no one but him gets to sit on that ugly thing anyway. why?
Tim: ...he is falling from the building as we speak
Bruce: *jumps off the building to catch him*
i also raise you this: Tim and Damian play a game throw paper ball in Jason, who reads and whoever is being caught by Jason on it, ends up losing. the second possibility to lose comes if Bruce catches them doing that. definitely will get you scolding and warning glance. Jason also won't notice Bruce rubbing softly his forehead afterwards.

If I Could Turn Back Time
Summary: Dick wishes he could turn back time, anything to win you back. (Dick Grayson x fem!reader)
Word Count: 2.5K
Notes: I'm baaacck~! I'm gonna filter out some posts for y'all in between work and prepping for a Christmas countdown. I hope that y'all in the northern hemisphere are enjoying the winter months, and that the heat is manageable for the rest of us in the southern. Hope I didn't make anyone wait too long, and thank you for being patient!
~RiRi <33
━━━━━━━━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dick Grayson swore that he wasn't as big of a romantic as people made him out to be. After your breakup he had returned to the manor, unwilling to commit to the long drive back to Bludhaven. He milled around the kitchen, face sullen, telling a concerned Alfred he was just too tired to make the trip and didn't want to drive in the dark. He didn't tell him that he was worried that the image of you crying at the kitchen sink would distract him so badly that he'd either crash or turn back to see you.
He defended himself when Jason came by to drop something off for Bruce and catching the eldest in a state of disarray and blatant bedhead, shambling around in the living room. The younger man rolled his eyes and scoffed, striding past him.
"She break up with you?" he asked with raised eyebrows.
"I broke up with her." He said softly. "But I'm fine." he waved off, taking another sip of his coffee.
"You're an idiot." Jason sighed, kissing his teeth and shaking his head as he strode past in heavy footfalls.
He swore that he was able to move on. That it had been for your best interest. It had only been fourteen days, six hours and twenty-three minutes since he'd driven away. Now he was banging his head against the steering wheel, stuck in the late afternoon traffic between Bludhaven and Gotham. He had the persistent itch under his skin to pull out the suit, weave his way through traffic on his bike just so he could get back to you faster. But he knew that was an abuse of his identity, and could raise some pretty heavy eyebrows from Bruce and even Clark if they found out he took the suit just for a house call.
So, he sat there, stewing in his own thoughts. The late sunset flickered off the water and into the interior of his car. His bangs fluttered with a heavy exhale; hands sweaty as they tapped a mindless rhythm on the wheel. He wished he had a clock that wasn't just the digital numbers of the car display. A clock where he could turn back time.
He'd turn it back to your first date, where you both spent hours wandering the park in Gotham. You had dressed up nicely for a picnic, and it was like you had just walked out of the greenery. The only thought that Dick had while watching you that afternoon was how stunning you looked, so natural in the park with a beaming smile. He had seen Poison Ivy in all of her glory, and her deep connection with the green. If he didn't know better, he would have thought you were born of nature the same way, the way you seemed so in tune with the scenery.
You had surprised him by adjusting your clothes with a cheeky grin and racing hand and hand with him through the park, weaving in and out of the trees with a beaming smile. He had to catch his breath from the way you stole it from under him, taking him to what you had dubbed your 'favourite tree'.
"Why is this one your favourite?" he had asked, hands on his hips and eyebrows quirked. You cast him a glance over your shoulder, looking at him like it should be obvious. Fingers deftly pried your feet from your shoes and you tossed them aside, walking in front of him. "Because it's the best for climbing, of course." you chided, like he was silly for even asking. Swiftly, you proceeded to hoist your way into the low hanging branches, graceful as you traced a path you clearly knew. He couldn't help but let his eyes wander, heart warming oddly. As if he was no longer in control, he reached down to undo his own shoes, hands running along the rough bark before pulling himself up after you.
Being a vigilante and circus performer, the movements themselves were easy enough, but despite all of his training he didn't even move with a fraction of your ease. When he caught up you were already nestled in a nook, leaning against a thick branch. You looked at him, late sunset beginning to flicker across the angle of your face. The golden light made your eyes glow, and you wore a soft, lazy smile, like a cat lounging on a bough. "Made it, I see." you hummed playfully, and he huffed.
"Was I not supposed to?" he quipped back, pulling himself up so he could sit next to you. You just shake your head, eyes closing with a gentle smile. "Not 'not supposed to', you've just been the first to follow. Normally my dates either just wait at the bottom or leave. No one really tries to come up, and the ones that do usually struggle to make it this far."
Dick shrugged, heart fluttering as he pushes his hair back with a hand. "Well, I'm used to this kind of the thing."
You give him a sceptical glance and he laughs. "The circus." He explains.
You grin. "Explains the runaway vibe."
"Hey!" he protests, hand to his heart. "I was raised there, thank you very much."
He spent so long up there he didn't realise you had been talking at the top of the tree for hours until the sunset began to filter into dusk, lost in the view of Gotham city park and its skyline.
Well, you might have been. He was too busy watching the way your mouth moved when you spoke or what actions your hands made when you spoke.
The second place that he would turn back time is the day he left you.
He'd take back every emotional scar he lashed you with, every word that cut into the soft flesh of your heart. He'd go back in an instant to pick up the pieces of you that he shattered, stop them from falling into the sink alongside your tears. He wouldn't have left the moment that your broken voice had asked him to leave, to give you space. He'd trade anything to have you in his arms again, to shush you and mumble his apologies into your hair.
The same apologies he was rehearsing to himself as he inched forward in the traffic for two painstaking hours. He practiced the cadence of his sentences by tapping them into his leg as he jogged up the stairs to your apartment. He steeled himself for a slap, a hiss, a scathing remark that would likely greet him when, no, if, you opened the door to him. He'd bear anything you threw at him, as long as he didn't have to see you cry. When you didn't respond to his knuckles rapping against the door, he sucked his teeth. Maybe you were out? Maybe you were ignoring him? He wouldn't blame you if you did.
Frustrated, he kicked the door frame, head thudding onto the door. He didn't know how to keep a relationship alive, if he was being perfectly honest. He had been enamoured with Kory, but the flame they had fizzled out. He and Babs had ended as natural as you could manage between coworkers. Yet, both of them had both ended the same way deep down. The anger that he failed to let go of deep inside that came out when he truly let himself be vulnerable. The little boy in his heart with his little fists clenched so tightly onto that ball of rage. The anger and hurt of losing his parents. It was a ball that Bruce and Alfred had managed to lessen, managed to pry those young fingers off little by little and helping him to redirect it, but it was never fully gone.
All it took was one relationship argument that carried on for a little too long or burned a little too hot, and that little ball moved into his throat. The fear would shake in his hands again, that there was always the possibility that he'd lose them too. Dick Grayson wouldn't really call himself a romantic. He was just someone who always fell in love, who made the person he was with always fall into him without a safety net.
Then, he'd push them off that tightrope, and he'd flee.
Irritated with himself he practiced breathing techniques to calm himself, unclenching his fists and unhunching his shoulders from his ears. He wanted to fix this. For you. For him. For that little boy holding onto that little ball of hurt. He waited another fifteen minutes before he jogged back to his car. He worried his lip in between his teeth as he cruised around, leg bouncing as he visited your favourite spots. You weren't at work, and you weren't visiting the library either. Your favourite bar wasn't open yet, and your favourite cafe had already closed for the day.
He felt stupid. He felt guilty. Stupid for leaving, and guilty for chasing you so pitifully. His behaviour was getting borderline obsessive, but he couldn't help himself. He felt like he was going to go insane if he didn't get the chance to even talk to you again. With an angry sigh he threw the car into park, breaking loudly. He slammed the car door a little harder than he would have liked.
Gotham City Park.
A part of him hoped that you weren't here, honestly. It was dark, and everyone knew Gotham was worse after hours. You were alone, presumably unarmed, and a complete fool if you were. His feet traced the path that he knew so well, but it felt weird without having your weight looped around his arm. Hands shoved deep into pockets he fiddled with the lining, chewing his cheek till he got to your tree.
The massive boughs stretched before him, blocking most of the city light. However, he knew that as soon as he got up there, he'd be able to see almost everything. With a pained exhale Dick ran his fingers over the smooth bark before reaching up for the nearest branch and hoisting himself up. Even if you weren't here, he needed somewhere to gather his thoughts. Somewhere to figure out how to fix his fuck up.
He navigated clumsily upwards, the dark making it hard to see. He hadn't realised how naturally his body followed yours when you climbed up, now getting lost by himself. Branches smacked him in the face as he ascended, dense foliage hiding his next foothold from him. Eventually his head poked through the entrance, and he took a deep lungful of crisp air, eyes closing.
"You looked like an idiot climbing around in circles down there, you know."
His eyes fly open, heart catching as he sees you. You're still in your work uniform, knees to your chest. Your eyes are dull despite the starlight. Dick revered your eyes, telling you many times that you could make even a stone glimmer if you gave it a fraction of your light. Now they were like a dying bulb, burnt out and dim.
"Hey," he said softly, as if you'd disappear if he raised his voice any louder. "I was looking for you."
"Well, you found me." You say, shifting your eyes from him to the city. "What do you want?"
His throat closed up, burning. He could feel that bright little ball being shoved into his throat, and he had to grimace to push it back down.
He needed to do this.
"I'm here to apologise." he said quietly, pulling himself up and sitting a respectable distance from you. His fingers suddenly became interesting as he toyed with them, picking at the skin. "I don't expect you to take me back or anything, but I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry." he chokes out, looking up at you. "I was- I was scared. I was scared someone was going to take you away from me, that it wasn't worth it. But I was wrong. I'm sorry-" he swallowed harshly as your eyes met his, and the softening at the corners of yours made him want to fold. "I'm sorry for everything I said, for everything I did. You didn’t deserve that; you deserve something better."
"Dick-"
he held up his hand. "You deserve the world, sweetheart." he said, choked at the softness and pain in his own voice. "If I was Superman, I would fly to your window every morning and take you into the clouds just so you could experience what it's like for a heart to fly, like you make mine do. I'd go across the ends of the earth to find the sun after the sunset just to realise it can't be brighter than the smile that you give me in the morning. So, I came to tell you that I made a mistake." he says, quiet and unable to hold your gaze any longer. "I made the biggest mistake of my life. I want another chance." he takes a deep breath, nose burning as he tried to hold back his tears. "And if you don't want me back, I want you to know you deserve all that. Even if it's not me, never settle for anyone that will give you less than that." His voice cracked as he finished, and he swallowed.
He needed to leave. He had done his piece.
The shame swirled in his veins like a cloud and hurrying him to find his way down. His senses were dulled like he was struck with a concussion, thoughts echoing like they were in a tunnel. It was only when he felt the soft skin of your palm on his that his head snapped up. The moment his face was tilted up the light was blocked, and his face was warm.
It took him a good second to recognise the familiar feeling.
You were kissing him.
With a relieved sigh he let out a sigh straight from his chest, chasing after your touch desperately. He thought he may have been in a dream, but when he reached up to cradle your face with a palm, he knew that it wasn't true.
"You idiot." you breathe out, eyes fluttering as you part from the kiss. "You grade A, boy wonder, spandex clad idiot." your rest your forehead against his. "Tell me next time." your murmur, hand coming down to grip his and place it on your chest. “You’re not alone anymore, you know?"
A faint flicker of a smile danced its way across his lips, and his shoulders shook lightly as he laughed at himself. He leant up and brushed his lips against yours once more and finally, that little ball of rage fell through the fingers of that hurt young boy.

Sometimes I really think we just don't give Damian and Tim the power they should have because those are the babies specifically Bruce's babies also sometimes Dick's but that is a whole other thing.
Like the younger children can get away with murder because they are so cute and adorable.
Jason and Dick even Cass need to be quietly steaming in the corner while Damian and Tim are fake crying because Jason pushed them.
They get whatever cases they want, all the super cool expensive tech they want. There is a zoo in Wayne manor because Damian pouted once.
Tim got a brand new car after he crashed his because he gave Bruce puppy dog eyes.
Dick crashed a car and he got lectured what is this shit.
I need Bruce being a pushover for his youngest children and his elder ones are just like what the fuck, "You never let me do that?" "Jason your a crime lord leave your brother's alone."
The day Damian and Tim realized the power they held the very earth shook.

thank u sm and have a great rest of ur day ^^
Love this prompt! Some of these are pre-kidnapping, some are mid-kidnapping. If anyone wants additional characters added, let me know! Hope you enjoy 💛
Daring Rescues
Pairings: Bruce Wayne x gn!reader, Dick Grayson x gn!reader, Jason Todd x gn!reader, Tim Drake x gn!reader Synopsis: Who comes to your aid when you find yourself in need of saving? Word Count: 2466 Warnings: Established relationship! Kidnapping, minor injuries, general mortal peril.
Bruce Wayne:
Bruce knew better than to associate you with Batman. He had learned that lesson a hundred times over by now, how dangerous it was to associate the people he cared for with the cowl. But now wasn't the time to dwell on the blunder.
“Oracle, update,” he barked over the communication device. Bruce perched atop a balcony, staring down at the street below.
“Black SUV turning onto Carlton,” Barbera replied, the sound of her fingers furiously working over the keys of the Batcomputer meeting his ears. “The car is registered to a loan shark put away a few years ago. Suspected ties to Falcone.”
Bruce uttered a grunted mm in response, eyes narrowed beneath the cowl. His eyes scanned the road below. He caught the sounds of sirens wailing in the distance. “GCPD?”
“I’ve got them cutting off side roads. Headed your way now.”
He squared his shoulders and prepared himself to launch from the balcony, one hand braced on the ledge beneath him and the other on his belt. He cocked his head to the East and narrowed his eyes- yes, there. He watched the SUV turn the corner, skidding as it spun around the sharp turn and narrowly avoided oncoming traffic.
“Sixty-three miles an hour?” he guessed.
“Sixty-six. Sounds like you might be losing your touch.”
“Oracle,” Bruce warned. He scowled. That extra speed would change his entry angle.
“Sorry. Dropping in three-”
Bruce’s hand shot to his belt.
“Two-”
The end of the grappling hook shot out from the device in his hand and buried itself within the construction scaffolding across from him. He gave a single tug, then launched himself from the balcony-
“One-”
- And crashed feet first into the rear passenger window of the interior of the modified SUV, seats removed to provide more space in the back. Panicked shouts rang out as glass shards shattered across the interior. Bruce pulled his cape over the lower half of his face, preventing glass from cutting his skin as he hit the floor.
The vehicle swerved and he used the momentum to bring his elbow into collision with a man’s partially covered face, his jaw making a distressing crack at the impact. His other hand lashed out, grabbing the driver by his hair and slamming his face against the steering wheel. The driver’s nose crunched and blood sprayed against the vehicle’s dash.
Hands grasped at his suit and he drove his knee into the third assailant’s ribs, sending him stumbling backwards. Your muffled shriek filled the interior of the SUV as the vehicle swerved and momentarily rocked into the curb.
The driver’s hands gripped at Bruce’s wrist behind his head, his foot flooring the accelerator. Bruce let out a tsk as he lunged forward and looped his arm around the driver’s neck. The man’s shrill scream was quickly silenced as Bruce squeezed the man’s neck in the juncture of his elbow and bicep.
He pulled the man backwards and used his opposite hand to stabilize the chokehold. His freehand reached for the steering wheel, guiding the vehicle down the road. He just needed a moment-
The driver finally went limp in Bruce’s arms. He tugged, pulling the man from his seat and wedged a batarang against the brake, quickly bleeding off speed.
Muffled screams filled the room, followed by a grunt of pain. Familiar hands raked over Bruce’s belt. He gripped the wheel with one hand and turned his head just in time to see a zap of electricity come to life.
You dove towards the third kidnapper, barreling into him and driving the taser into the side of his neck. The man screamed, spasmed, and went limp.
You panted around the gag in your mouth, your hands chained together in front of you. You held the taser tightly in your hands, glaring down with a fiery expression.
When you turned your gaze on him, that fiery passion was replaced with a soft, mirthful glint in your eye. You gave him your best smile, despite the gag, and a cheesy thumbs up.
Bruce scowled, despite the way his heart skipped a beat.
Dick Grayson:
Why did you always have to rush into things?
Of course it was a set up. That was so obvious now that you had a split lip and blood trickling from your nose. It was a last ditch effort on the part of some petty criminals who wanted a piece of the Wayne wealth in exchange for Dick’s hapless partner.
The masked goons cornered you in your own apartment, toying with you like cats stalking a mouse. One swung a pipe wrench and you skittered backwards, nearly bumping into the end table next to your couch. You really needed to move that when this was all over, and make sure the space was less cluttered so you wouldn’t get tripped up like this again-
A blade came slashing down, glinting in the waning sunlight that filled your apartment as it narrowly missed your face. Your curse was met by vicious laughter. With a snarl, you gripped the end table and hucked it at the figure holding the blade.
Two of the goons jumped away from the end table as it flung towards them. You took the chance to dash to the kitchen, knocking over and tossing random items in your wake. As much as you appreciated the self defense training Dick had put you through, you didn’t trust yourself against their weapons. You took solace in knowing they weren’t here to kill you… but that didn’t mean they weren’t more than willing to rough you up.
You just needed to waste some time. So you threw a plate, a beautiful, arbor rimmed plate that had been a gift to you and Dick from Selina and Bruce (you suspected Selina stole them.) The assailants dodged the ceramic, so you snatched the detachable faucet and sprayed the nearest goon in the face with cold water. Too bad they were smart enough to wear masks.
And then you saw the balcony door slide open. It all happened so fast, a flash of black, blue, and silver darting into the space. Metal clashed with skin, a sickening thunk sounding as an escrima collided with an attacker’s skull. An angered shout tore through the air, only to be quickly silenced by a thud as the outspoken figure hit the floor.
It was over in a matter of moments. Three unconscious bodies on the floor, tucked out of sight behind your kitchen island, and a shadowed figure huffing agitated breaths through gritted teeth. Spots of blood on the escrima, on his face.
You blinked once, twice, clearing the fog from your vision. Nightwing- Dick loomed across from you. He tucked the escrimas behind his back and turned to face you, the scrunch in his brow covered by his mask.
“Are you alright?” you asked, voice barely above a tremble.
His expression softened immediately. He heaved a sigh and dashed around the kitchen island, sweeping you into his tight grasp. You wrapped your arms around him just as eagerly, pressing your face to the stretchy fabric of his suit.
“Should be asking you that, love.” Dick pulled away slightly, holding you at arms length. Though you couldn’t see his eyes through his mask, you knew he was carefully taking stock of your injuries.
“Just a few scrapes,” you said with a reassuring smile in spite of the way your swollen lip burned. “You should see the other guys.”
Dick barked out a laugh and pulled you flush against him once again, burying you in a tight embrace.
Jason Todd:
You should have called a cab.
Rain poured down on you, drenching you to the skin. Rain hadn’t been on the forecast today–you always made sure to check on days you chose to walk to-and-from work. When you had stepped out of the office building to find a slight drizzle dappling the sidewalk, you had thought nothing of it. Like many other Gothamites, you had assumed it was a passing spring weather.
Now the storm drains gurgled pitifully as water gushed into it. Your clothes were sodden, shoes waterlogged, mood dampened. You squelched down the sidewalk with a sour expression plastered across your features. The torrential downpour quieted your sentences, muffling your ears to the acute sound of footsteps following you from a distance.
You turned onto the next block and huffed, the wind now buffeting you face on. What a dreary, horrible day to be let off late from work. Jason would likely be on patrol by now, leaving you to sit alone in your shared apartment, reheating whatever he had left over from lunch. Maybe you could curl up in your bed and dive into that novel you had both been reading. That could make for a good conversation to wind him down from the emotional high of his patrol-
Foreign hands snatched you from your thoughts and dragged you into a dark alley, your scream muffled by a gloved palm.
You were slammed face first into a brick wall, the rough texture scraping your cheek. You bit back a snarl as the hands turned you around and smacked the back of your head against the hard stone. The chill edge of a blade was pressed to your throat and when your eyes readjusted to the sudden darkness and stinging pain in your head you were met with a masked figure. Great, because what you really needed after a long day was a mugging.
You fought viciously as the figures around you herded you down the back alley like a spitting, snarling animal. You stomped your heel on their feet, bit at their hands, kicked and flailed until you heard muffled requests for rope and chloroform. It wasn’t until you saw the van tucked away beside an industrial grade dumpster that you began caterwauling like an anguished banshee.
You were relieved by the sound of a familiar thump at the edge of the alleyway–you would recognize the sound of those heavy boots dropping anywhere, with how often you heard them on your fire escape. Your attackers slammed you against the van and you barked out a gleeful laugh at the sight. The attackers had a moment to turn their heads before Red Hood was descending on them with ferocity. You turned away, pressing your forehead to the van.
Screams, bones cracking, bodies hitting the ground. It was over quickly. When you turned to face him, his armored chest was heaving and he clenched and unclenched his fists at his side. You knew better than to touch him when he was this high strung, so you settled for the safer option.
“Took you look enough,” you teased breathlessly, keeping your gaze one the way the red surface of his helmet snapped to face you instead of on the (you hoped) unconscious kidnappers. “I was starting to wonder if I was going to have to take care of this myself.”
The toe of Jason’s boot nudged an unconscious figure, a red and rapidly welting bite mark blossoming on the individual’s hand and wrist. “I don’t doubt you could’ve, but a little help never hurt.”
You cracked a smile, softening the hard lines of your expression in the hopes it would ease him. His shoulders relaxed at your placating gesture. You extended a hand, fingers spread in a silent offer.
“Walk me home?” you asked, more for his benefit than yours. Your heart still pounded in your chest, but the tightness eased when he interlaced his gloved fingers with yours.
Tim Drake:
Warehouses were such a cliché place to harbor an abductee. What happened to creativity? Tim crawled through an upper window of the dilapidated warehouse, some thirty feet above the ground. He stepped carefully across the rafters as he surveyed the scene.
There you were, a normal college student tied to a chair–well, normal if you ignore the fact that you were rumored to be in a relationship with the Timothy Drake-Wayne. He frowned at the sight of your arms twisted behind you and tied to the back of the chair. They had you situated in the center of the empty room with goons patrolling around you. His eyes sought a singular figure atop a pile of scrap, a rifle in hand. The figure searched the rafters–Tim would have to be careful to avoid him.
Tim stalked across the rafters, keeping to the shadows. He crept across one of the beams that bridged the center of the warehouse, ducking low and staying out of the light. His eyes were fixed on you-
Oh. You perked up, your head lifting and shoulders easing. You knew he was there somewhere, judging by the way your head turned slightly to scan the open room. You tilted your head, a flimsy gesture towards a second figure, patrolling near you with one hand tucked away in her coat. A hidden weapon? He bit back a smile at your clever aid.
Tim took another step, and something clanged. He looked below him, spotting a hook hanging from a long chain, the chain swinging under the beams subtle movements. He turned just in time to see the sniper swing his rifle in the direction of the sound-
You screamed.
The shrill shriek shook each of the assailants and all eyes turned to you. He exhaled a harsh breath of relief as you wailed and the masked figures moved in towards you. The sniper’s weapons whipped towards you and away from Tim.
Tim dropped. His landing was cushioned by the goon you had pointed out, knocking the figure to the ground. He used the momentum to carry himself into a roll, then launched to his feet and barrelled into the next unsuspecting kidnapper. This one was ready, his hands up in fists. Tim gave an opening and ducked as the man’s fist sailed past Tim. He gripped the attacker's arm and yanked, tossing him over Tim’s shoulder. The man landed with a thunk and Tim was quick to follow, extracting a pair of cuffs from his belt and linking the two fallen attackers together.
A shot rang out. It seemed the sniper wasn’t very good, considering Tim remained fully intact. His hands dipped to his belt again and withdrew a few batarangs. A quick volley knocked the sniper's mask askew and sent them stumbling down the rickety pile of scrap they stood upon. He used the opening to launch himself across the room, bo staff extending in hand. He swept the kidnapper’s legs, sending the figure tumbling down the pile.
“How did you know I was here?” he asked as he knelt to cuff and gag the attacker, kicking the rifle aside in the process.
“It got drafty,” you called back from where you sat tied in the center of the room. “Must’ve left the window open.”

Yandere DC Purge Au pt 2
A/N: Yandere themes, fem reader, canon typical violence, bonus points if you know the Jerome I'm referring to at the end 😩🤟🏽 feedback welcome
Booted feet hit the pavement rapidly, your breath comes out in pants as you book it through Gothams streets. (H/c) Hair clung to your face in ringlets, you were soaked but the heat of adrenaline kept you warm. The night was in full swing with screams echoing throughout the night, you curse under your breath ignoring the urge to help those people, you had to save yourself first.
A large imposing man was wrangling someone into his car, a gun in his hand he looks around wildly, he sees you coming and takes aim before firing, the first bullet wizzes past your cheek, the second one catches you in the neck, you roll your eyes, ignoring the man and the already healing wound, the bullet gets pushed out of your skin hitting the wet ground with a clang. You're fast, enhanced speed allowing you to book it across Gotham much swifter than a normal human being.
Bruce is about a block away from where your tracker last pinged, Tim diligently searched for the signal while Dick, Jason, and Damian followed on foot. They navigate the streets fluidly, a testament to their knowledge of their City. Your keen sense of hearing alerts you to a massive gathering of people coming up, it sounds like some sort of debaucherous street party? As you come upon the crowd you notice people in purge masks grinding against each other, you can't help but grin, this was the perfect way to lose them.
Music blared from six foot speakers, a makeshift stage had been built in the middle of the street, some people were chained to others, dazed looks on their faces as they danced with their captors. You took a moment to think, you knew these bastards well, well enough to know they were probably tracking you, patting yourself down, your fingers catch on a small circular device under your right shoulder, something so innocuous you wouldn't have noticed it if you weren't looking, sucking your teeth, you remove your jacket with finesse, you pick a stranger at random, everyone here was drugged out and blissful, so it wasn't hard to drape the garment over a random girl's shoulders.
Maneuvering through the busy crowd was easy as you appeared to be the only sober one there.
Bruce curses under his breath as Tim alerts him of your location, you were asking for trouble, a street party on purge night? What were you thinking?!
Damian arrives first, the crowd is too consumed in their pleasure to notice the vigilante, his hooded figure cuts through the crowds like a warm knife through butter, Tim was feeding him information on your location through his earpiece, his face was set in a glare, he hated the idea of all these scumbags surrounding you, tainting you, his grip on the hilt of his sword never waivers.
Dick is close behind, his eyes scanning the crowd for your features, every (h/c) haired woman he saw made his heart pick up, but none of them were you.
Jason doesn't bother with niceties, he shoves his way through the crowd, pushing anyone and everyone out of his way, "(y/n)!" He yells over the pulsing music, "Don't make this harder than it has to be kitty."
Meanwhile you watch them from the shadows of the stage, you needed a distraction, something that would give you a real shot at escaping, so you trip a burley guy making him crash into a group of men, when he turns to glare at you, you point to the man beside him in blame, that's all it takes for the violence to break out.
The three Wayne men near you couldn't simply watch the riot, despite their mission, you, they had a job to do, so they go about wrangling the now rowdy crowd, and you use the mayhem to slip away into the night.
You don't stop running until the sounds of the party fade, replaced by the usual chaos of the purge, you pant, hands on your knees as you lean against the grime covered alley wall. You can hear your heart pounding in your ears, blood rushing as your body tries to acclimate to the adrenaline coursing through your veins.
"Well, what's a pretty thing like you doing in a town like this?" A male voice questions from the entrance to the alley, your head snaps up to meet his electric green gaze, you recognized his infamous smile anywhere, having thrown his ass into Arkham more times than you could count you can't help but sigh at the sight of the up and coming kingpin.
"Fuck do you want Jerome?"

The batkids on a family trip to the beach, they spend the whole day from 6am to almost midnight there, and when Bruce arrives to be together with them the next day he finds his kids in the living room of the beach house sleeping in 5 mattress they put there all hugging eachother and crushing Jason down because he didnt want to sleep with them
Absolutely to everything
They all go on little trips together without Bruce. When he asks why, Steph tells him it's because it's like hanging out with your boss, and nobody speaks up to argue against it, so he just silently accepts this and cries to Alfred every time they go somewhere without him. Dick feels bad eventually and invites him out sometimes, but only after they've all spent some time together without him.
I imagine the beach was the idea of Steph and Dick. She loves the beach, and Dick loves to hang out, so they're probably the ones to mention it.
Duke is immediately on board, because who doesn't love the beach? Tim. Tim doesn't love the beach. He claims it's because he doesn't like the feeling of sand in between his toes, but they all know it's because he burns easy and will spend weeks surviving solely off aloe vera and a dream.
Jason.. does not really care. He wouldn't go to the beach for himself, but he's kind of just glad he was invited. Damian snubs his nose at the idea of being outside in a sandy water hole for hours under the sun willingly, but Jason seems okay with it so he'll go, but makes sure to voice his complaints the whole time.
Cass was invited. They made these plans in the group chat. She did not respond, but she shows up the morning they leave while they're packing up the van holding a tote bag, sunglasses propped up on her head. She wordlessly goes and sits in the passenger seat, cutting off the argument between Tim and Steph about who gets shotgun.
The car ride is something else entirely. Dick almost crashes the car when Duke makes the most blood curdling screech known to mankind, just because Tim jabbed him in the ribs. Tim claims he deserved it, because Jason just revealed it was Duke who kept putting water in his shoes every morning. Tim has been walking in puddles for weeks. Steph and Damian are getting along surprisingly well in the back row, each just doing their own thing on their phone. There's an open bag of chips between them, and Dick is almost positive it's going to tip over at some point.
Halfway through the ride, Jason gets carsick and they have to pull over into a gas station to get him something. After that, the car ride is calmer, mostly because Jason threatened to projectile vomit on whoever even slightly nudged him. They're all asleep within the next fifteen minutes, leaving Dick and Cass in a comfortable silence.
Their day at the beach is utter chaos as usual. It wouldn't be a batkids trip if there wasn't the occasional chaos here and there.
Dick mother hens them all and makes sure they all use a good amount of sunscreen, and then he goes with Cass, Jason, and Damian into the water. Cass sits and watches in the shallow end while the other three start splashing each other. Jason tries to drown Dick. Dick flails his arms around and accidentally splashes Cass. As she stands menacingly, he knows his life is over.
Tim refuses to move from under the umbrella. He will not say why. They know why anyway. Steph lays out on her blanket to tan and Duke goes off to the side to start digging a hole. Steph starts to doze off, and Tim lays one of his shoelaces across her back to ruin her tan. She does not notice. She wishes she had noticed.
Eventually, Dick goes off to play some volleyball with some other people, and Jason joins Duke in digging. Tim finally leaves the comfort of his umbrella after layering on more sunscreen, and he and Damian sit together to make sand castles. Cass has now started placing more random objects on Steph's back. She will blame it on Tim.
Some guy comes running over and thinks it would be funny to step on Damian and Tim's sand castle. He steps on it and kicks it around, only to be faced with a bulky looking man who looks like he went to hell and back. Jason throws him in the whole and holds him down while everyone else buries him. they leave his head above the sand for someone else to find.
They get to the beach house and fight over the shower. Jason complains at all the san their dragging in, ignoring the fact that he's the one with the majority of sand on him. Duke throws himself onto the couch and Steph starts complaining that he's getting it dirty and that they'll never get rid of the sand. Damian is organizing the seashells he found earlier.
They all get showered and fed and Dick suggests a big living room sleep over. They're all on board, minus Jason. He goes up to his own room and goes to bed. A few minutes later, Damian gets up and leaves also. The rest of them exchange looks of confusion with each other before seeing him drag his mattress from his room into Jason's. They all get the memo, and soon enough they're all cuddled up in one big sweaty batpile. Jason complains, but doesn't push anybody away. They fall asleep, and the next morning they starts arguing because someone didn't shower and now everyone has sand stuck to them.
We need more domestic batkid fics. I need to read them just hanging out together. It'll heal me in all the ways I am ill. Mentally.
Batkids <3
