Katara: Mai and Zuko are very angry at us. Toph: Why? Aang: Izumi didn’t know she was adopted and Katara told her. [ Katara hits him. ] Toph: She had to find out at some point. Aang: Yeah, but how would you like it if someone told Lin and Suyin they were accidents? Lin: What? [ Lin and Suyin had been sitting in the other room. Toph glares at Aang. ] Aang to Katara: We have to get out of here.

Gray and Graysons

One of the Bats has a secret. Something they never told to the others.

They were so very young but they have memories of a sibling, so small and tiny. They remember the burst of warmth they had in their heart when they held the tiny baby for just a moment.

But they weren’t allowed to keep them, their family couldn’t raise them. Money was tight, just enough for three but not for four, despite their shows always bringing in a crowd it was getting harder and harder for the world to be wowed by them in the new age and their sibling was too small and tiny and needed to be cared in a single place than for them to be on the road. Their lifestyle was not good for his tiny sibling apparently.

They had to watch as their parents gave his sibling away to people in suits, them promising to give his baby brother to a loving family when they find a ‘home’ for him. He watched his parents try to be strong only for his mother to break down once the car left down the road, his father holding her and apologizing, the rest of the circus troupe all silently coming over to give the heartbroken family condolences.

Richard ‘Dick’ Grayson had tears running down his face when he last saw his baby brother.

A brother he got to name before he had to be given away.

Daniel ‘Danny’ Grayson.

-x-x-

Dick never told the others. If anyone dug deep into his past they might find his brother’s birth records maybe, if someone got around to digitizing the paperwork for him but given the fact he was placed in the US childcare systems just a few days after his birth and the fact that Dick was still pretty young they most likely believed he didn’t remember his baby brother now. Not after so many years.

But they were wrong, Dick remembers. And he kept the secret close to his heart and memories.

And the only physical evidence he had was a single picture of him holding his brother, a smile on his tiny face towards their father who had taken the photo of them together. When he had lost his parents, lost most of the things that connected him to them, to his past in the circus that had been his whole life, had been taken from him in Gotham’s ruthless childcare system, he held on tight to the picture in secret. Hid it away from anyone trying to rip it from him, hid it from Bruce when the man took him in days later, hid it from Alfred despite how gentle the butler was towards him. He couldn’t, wouldn’t risk losing his photo at the time, he hadn’t trusted anyone and by the time he did he didn’t have the heart to reveal it.

So yes, the existence of his baby brother Danny was his most guarded and best kept secret.

So that’s why Dick, as Nightwing, nearly died from a heart attack when leaving a Justice League meeting he spotted a familiar face among one of the new engineers working in the Watchtower.

It was like seeing a young version of himself. Only, Dick could see that the young man was more than a copy of him, so much more than a clone. He held many traces of John Grayson but also had a bit more of Mary Grayson than Dick did. Small details that Dick foggely remembers taking note when he had held his baby brother.

“Hey, hurry up with that report Gray!” Shouted the head engineer from down the hall, his hand beckoning the young adult to come over.

“Coming! And boss, I told you Danny is fine!” Danny shouted back before hurriedly leaving a stunned Nightwing.

Has anyone Jewish explained to the The Pitt fandom why curling up in a corner and saying the Shema is such a loud act of utter desperation? Like, okay, the prayer is a declaration of faith, but do you know why Jewish people say it every night before bed and when they're in complete disaster scenarios?

It's supposed to be the last thing you say before you die.

Like, saying it at bedtime is kinda like Christians saying "now I lay me down to sleep", but you also see the grievously ill and those in natural disasters and people who are otherwise in truly hopeless situations reciting it. Not to beseech G-d to rescue them, no, but because you want your last words to affirm for yourself and all Jewish people that you believe in G-d and his oneness.

So seeing a doctor in the middle of a hell shift, that hell shift, curl up on the floor, rocking and saying it? That's powerful shit right there.

The healing potion cleared up the worst of his injury, but he still had to take it easy for the next week or so.

Jimmy's "excuse" is he fell down the stairs, protecting himself with his arm, so he has to be gentle with it for a while. Although Gri enjoys bullying his brother, lately he's been getting injured more, and he cant help but be a mother hen-

No dialogue version under the cut

A nominally useful but mostly just-for-fun little project, using wool from the Shetland Islands kindly brought back for me by a family friend this summer. The pattern is Beeswax Mitts by Amy van de Laar on Ravelry.
