Headcanon Nightwing and Batwoman meeting:

Batwoman (appearing behind Nightwing as he stares out across Bludhaven landscape): Hey.

Nightwing turns around and sees a tall woman with red hair in a batsuit behind him.

Nightwing: Um… hi, where did you come from?

Batwoman (monotone): The shadows.

Nightwing: What?

Batwoman: I’m Batwoman.

Nightwing (confused): I can tell by your costume.

Batwoman: Yeah… I’m Batman’s cousin.

Nightwing (smiling): Oh you’re mentally unwell. Okay let’s get you somewhere safe.

Nightwing attempts to help her, but she kicks him in the shin. He winces shocked. Batwoman shakes her head annoyed.

Batwoman (monotone): No touchy. Dick Grayson, son of Bruce Wayne, first Robin and currently Nightwing. I’m Bruce's cousin on his mom, Martha’s, side. I am fully aware he is Batman and he hasn’t mentioned me to you.

Nightwing: No. Ow, are your shoes spiky at the tip?!

Batwoman: Yes and stop it, shin kicks don’t cause that much pain. Nice to meet you, second cousin. Cuzzo has told me a lot about you, both embarrassing and good.

Nightwing: Yeah and none about you, have you guys known each other for a long time? I'm not trying to be rude, but I wasn't aware he had other family members.

Batwoman (nodding in agreement): He forgot about our side of the family... don't blame him, but I reconnected with him about 5 years ago. His face when I told him I knew he was batman, priceless.

Nightwing: How did you find out?

Batwoman: I snuck into his house one day and after messing with stuff in his office I stumbled across the batcave. The stair case really needs a railing.

Nightwing (chuckling): Yeah, I've almost slipped a couple times, but B says that isn't required. Feel like it is for safety reasons.

Batwoman: Yet he'll set up a lazy susan for his batmobile.

Nightwing chuckles again, shaking off the sore shin.

Nightwing: Although we're meeting like this, it's nice to finally meet you. Why are you here though?

Batwoman: Batman said you needed some help with a mob and I am starting out, plus Batman is the type of guy to want to be the leader at times and I'm simply here to help.

Nightwing (smiling): That's nice to hear, thanks. I like your batsuit too.

Batwoman: Thanks, I made it myself. I won’t disclose my civilian name yet, but yours is funny so I will proceed to call you Dick, Dickie, Dickward when we’re not in front of villains. I'm not picking on you though, you seem adorable. I like your face, you have a good face.

Batwoman pats the man on the cheek with an appreciative smile.

Nightwing (genuinely being nice): Okay, that’s fine also stop you making me blush. My hero name is Nightwing though and it’s a… cool one.

Batwoman: I agree.

Batwoman shakes Nightwing’s hand.

Batwoman: Good grip and again you’re very handsome. Nice jawline, shaggy hair, probably good eyes. Not bad. Also not my type, putting that on the table. Ready to patrol?

Nightwing (admiring the compliments): I actually am. You seem cool... weird, but cool.

Batwoman: Not seem. I am both of those thing. Let’s run.

Nightwing: Wait, uh, one question.

Batwoman: I'll allow it.

Nightwing: You won't try to flirt with me or come on to me or... Make me really uncomfortable... Or bring up certain aspects of my suit that aren't relevant to my job?

Nightwing rubs his arm, blushing.

Batwoman, placing a hand on her chest.

Batwoman: You been through it, Batman never disclosed what, but he told me you've had a tough few years. Not to worry. We are strictly family and co-workers. I always wanted to have more cousins and I would never hurt any of them. Plus I wouldn't take advantage of you and I detest people who do so. And again you are not my type. Remember that.

Nightwing (relieved): Got it.

With that Nightwing and Batwoman head off to fight crime.

(post-3x05 kacy scene)

Warm fingertips press down against the thin skin on the inside of her wrist, a melody she knows that she knows but can’t quite place in the early grey of the morning, the sun rising, muted, through the low clouds outside the window. She was asleep a minute ago and there’s a dream quickly fading away as her eyes open slowly and the room shifts into focus.

“Morning,” Kate whispers, still sunken in her pillow.

“G’morning.” Lucy pulls the words from the back of her throat like she’s pulling cotton from a cattail. “Time s’it?”

Kate doesn’t roll over to check her phone. “Early,” she guesses. “Too early for our day off.”

A day off. A present for her jungle excursion, courtesy of Tennant. A whole day to let her body come down from the high of being chased through thick vegetation with a life hanging delicately in her hands. Lucy lets her eyes close again and sinks back into her pillow. She goes back to focusing on Kate’s fingers looped carefully around the wrist between them. Tap, tap, taptap. Tap, tap. A song, then. One that she knows but can’t quite place.

“Is that Boot Scootin Boogie?”

Kate exhales a short laugh. “Taylor Swift.”

“Who else would it be?” Lucy feels the bed shift as Kate slides a little closer. She can feel the soft heat coming off Kate’s bare arms and wants to reach for it, pull it back over her, close her eyes and slip back into sleep for just a little bit longer.

It was a long day yesterday, her nerves pulled to their breaking point. When she stepped over the threshold to their apartment, the weight she had been working so hard to push off came crashing down on her. She doesn’t remember tasting the pizza Kate ordered, doesn’t remember picking Love is Blind on the TV or queuing up where they left off. She doesn’t remember brushing her teeth or turning out the light.

She does remember Kate’s body warm behind her on the couch, her own body pressed to Kate’s front as they sat wrapped up in each other. She remembers Kate’s arms and how they wrapped low around her waist in bed and held her tightly. She remembers soft lips to her bare shoulder and I love you against her skin as she let the exhaustion take over.

She remembers the Kate of it all, the steady and warm and loving presence she’s come to need like oxygen in her lungs. She remembers the overwhelming feeling of love—one she thought she’d never find in a million years.

“I could sleep another hundred hours,” she admits, eyes still closed.

She feels Kate’s smile against the back of her hand. “You can. We have nothing planned today.”

The thought is so tempting. She could pull Kate’s arms around her, drape them over her like the light comforter they’re sharing, and let herself sink back into sleep. It’s not too far off; she could reach for it and be asleep in moments.

But Kate is awake and tapping out a Taylor Swift song against her pulse point and that usually means banana pancakes and a Golden Girls marathon and pressing Kate against the counter edge and kissing her until either their lungs start to burn or the pancakes start to smoke. Lucy loves those mornings and the way Kate tastes like the bites of bananas she snuck before mixing them into the batter.

“Did I dream yesterday?”

“Only if we were having the same nightmare.” Kate’s free hand pushes back some of Lucy’s hair. “Otherwise, it was real.”

Lucy slides her foot forward, curling her ankle around Kate’s calf. “I thought so.” She opens one eye, studying Kate’s profile. She’s committed it to memory by now. “I feel like a truck ran me over.”

“It did,” Kate murmurs. “That very much happened.”

Lucy sighs. Yesterday wasn’t a dream. She can see it vividly in her mind and she closes her eyes against it again, trying to fill it with Kate—Kate so close and so warm.

“I’m not ready to talk yet,” she admits. She isn’t. She can’t. She’s still working through her family in her own mind; she can’t possibly put into words what they’re like and what they’ve done to her and to each other.

“We don’t have to talk.” Kate’s voice is soft and genuine and Lucy thinks again—again and again—how lucky she is. “We can just lay here. We don’t have to do anything at all.”

Lucy knows Kate isn’t lying. She knows Kate won’t push and she won’t prod and she’ll let Lucy set the pace for when and where and how. And it sounds perfect—a whole day in bed with Kate and their bodies pressed close together, hidden away from the world.

But someone told her to live her life yesterday. Someone who had the courage to throw theirs to the wind and start over from scratch. Someone who proved that there are still good people in the world who want to do what’s right for the sake of doing the right thing. And even if she can’t talk about it yet, even if she’s not ready to unlock the ugly parts of her past and lay them out on the table, she’s not going to lay in bed all day and let the world just pass her by.

“No.” She opens both eyes, staring deeply into Kate’s brown ones. “Let’s get up. We can make pancakes.”

“Banana or blueberry?”

“Both,” she says, feeling greedy and not caring. “And bacon. And toast. And—“

Kate laughs. “Okay. Remember we can only eat so much.”

“I can eat so much. I’m from—“

“Texas, yes.” Kate laughs again and leans in, kissing Lucy softly and pulling away too soon.

Lucy thinks about chasing her, pressing her deep into the mattress and not stopping until she has to come up for air. But she settles on letting Kate pull away and slide out of bed, pulling her hair up into a ponytail that exposes the long line of her neck. In her thin tank top and her soft shorts, no one has ever looked more beautiful than Kate does right now.

Lucy may be holding some things back, may be keeping some things close to the vest, but this? This she wants to scream from the rooftops. This she wants everyone to know. This she wants to tell Kate.

“I love you.”

Kate looks back over her shoulder, a smile on her face that threatens to break through the grey clouds outside their window. “I love you too.”

Live your life, Lucy Tara.

Lucy smiles as she gets up and stretches her arms above her head, feeling the tension break in her shoulders. She is going to live her life. She’s going to take every moment and hold it tightly in her hands. She’s going to love Kate with every part of her that’s capable of it and when she’s ready she’ll tell Kate everything she wants to know.

“Lucy?”

Lucy looks up. “Hmm?”

“I said, we can make toast too. If you want.”

She thinks about it for a moment before she smiles. “Life is too short to skip the toast.”

Kate rolls her eyes, pulling the sheet back up on the bed. “Where did you read that?”

“That’s a Lucy Tara quote, free of charge.” She winks when Kate laughs and scrubs her hair back off her neck into a bun. “There’s more where those came from, by the way.”

“Lucky me,” Kate grumbles, still smiling.

“Yeah,” Lucy says softly. “Lucky you.” She holds Kate’s eyes for a moment. “Lucky us.”

Kate’s smile slips into shy before she clears her throat and gives the neatly-made bed one last pat. “Lucky us,” she echoes. She slips out of the bedroom and heads towards the kitchen, humming something under her breath.

Lucy watches her walk away and thinks: this is a good life. This is a life worth living.

She follows Kate.

DPXDC Prompt #134

Sam was starting her new school at Casper high today and she wasn’t very excited. Her parents had moved here from Gotham and she was a little pissed. She missed Gotham, maybe not all the pollution but definitely the architecture and atmosphere. She also missed her cousin Damian who was great with snarky comments. She goes through her school day with not much going on until she meets a kid that looked exactly like Damian except he had blue eyes instead of green.

Danny wasn’t having a good time right now. His friend Tucker had convinced him to investigate his parents ghost portal last week and Danny went in the portal wearing only a hazmat suit. Tucker had left the basement to get help and Danny turned back human before Tucker got back. Danny didn’t tell him what happened, he’d rather forget the whole thing but some help might be nice especially when he keeps sinking through the floor. Now he has to deal with that and the new girl that doesn’t seem to want to leave him alone.

Light's House as Batfam Part 4

Bruce keeps a handful of Frooties candies in his suit pockets for when his kids were younger and never grew out of the habit.

Jon, who came over to hang out with Damian for the afternoon, walks past Bruce, who sneakily hands him a candy: Thanks, Uncle Bruce!

Damian, staring at the candy Bruce handed him: Frootie?

Jon: I should call him the Frootie Uncle!

Dick, who was walking behind Bruce and collecting the candy wrappers: Oh, definitely call him the Frootie Uncle. But what does that make me?

Damian: Trash Cousin.

Headcanon: There's no way Kate Kane and Bruce Wayne aren't just bickering traumatized siblings and I'm about it.

---When they first met---

Bruce: (perplexed) I have a cousin?

Kate (legs crossed as she sat across from him): Yep.

Bruce (doubtful): I don't believe you, there's no way I had a cousin that I was unaware of.

Kate: You have two cousins from Martha's side, our moms were sisters. Your father was Thomas Wayne. Both our families are rich, but you got richer. I'm impressed and you spent a few vacations at the fancy lake house.

Bruce (realization): Then I stopped going when my parents died. You were... that little red haired girl. I'll be damned you are family.

Kate (nodding): Glad you believe me now and sorry about the loss. I'm your cousin, my mom is dead, dad is kind of dead to me.

Bruce: This is something to new in my life. Not sure how to react.

Kate (sly): I get it you're drab life has something good to it. Honestly a lot of our family doubted you were alive. You went missing for like a years then went no-contact. I get that part, but then you returned as Batman. It's wasn't hard to figure out it was you.

Bruce (offended): You're lying!

Kate (chuckling): Oh testy. I just have a good eye, but the suit has gone through many colors and honestly the blue with black was way better.

Bruce: All black is the best one.

Kate: Don't be jealous I added a splash of color and a wig to mine.

Bruce (deadpan): A wig that is your same hair color.

Kate: Yeah, but I have shorter hair. My sister, Beth, is insane by the way.

Bruce: Normal insane or Joker insane?

Kate (tipping her hand slightly): Middle. She's slightly better currently... at a psych ward.

Bruce (smiling): I have two cousins, one is in a psych ward, you're here. This is something new, but I don't hate it. Um, what do you want to do as family members?

Kate: Want to go to a bar and flirt with women? We can see who gets the most numbers.

Bruce (lying): I didn't... think you were gay.

Kate (surprised): I- How?

Bruce: I'm lying and wanted to avoid possibly offending you, butt I figured it out instantly. It's cool, I'm pretty sure one of my son's is bisexual.

Kate (smiling): Cool, I like you already. I am gay and we are going to a bar, winner buys us lunch the next day. Come on, cuzzo.

Bruce: Cuzzo?

Kate: You've made me like you this far and I wanted to say that.

Bruce: Okay... Katie.

Kate: I will break you if you call me that.

Bruce: Kate it is.

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

Kate casually entered Bruce's cave where's he was studying a case. Without saying a single word, she kicked him in the shin. The man winced and glared at Kate.

Kate: You got one more time to drink all my kombucha. That was me being nice.

Bruce (mockingly): You snooze you lose.

Kate: Do it again and I will kick higher up.

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

Kate: Hey Cuzzo, I texted Selina pretending to be you and sent her some pretty mean things. She'll be here in five and she is pissed.

Kate ran off laughing.

Bruce (blinking): Wait what did you send? How did you get my phone?

Kate: Burner phone bitch.

Bruce: You gotta stop doing that!

Bruce chased his cousin as Alfred smiled happy for Bruce. ---------------------------------------------

Bruce allowed an uninvited guest at his dinner party where Kate was invited to although she wasn't sure why he invited her. For Bruce it was sweet payback for the burned phone incident. The woman, Hazel strutted over to Kate wearing a red dress. Hazel: Kate? Kate Kane, correct?

Kate, wearing a pink women's dinner party dress, glanced at the woman, quickly tensing up in shock. Kate: Yes. Do I know you? Hazel: Hazel. Hazel Mitchell, you remember me? Don't answer cause you don't. We went out on a date a year ago. You took me to Golden Corral and never called me after we had sex. Ring a bell? Kate: Oh, you're that Hazel! I can explain- Hazel: I tried calling you, but the number had been changed and I came to find out you ghosted me because I smelled like 'rancid Chinese food mixed with milk, left out in the sun for two weeks'. Kate's eyes widened, the only person she disclosed that to was Bruce. Kate: I was joking around when I said that. You see what happened was- Hazel: LIAR! LIAR! YOU DIDN'T WANT TO CALL ME BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T HANDLE ME! I CAN DO THINGS WOMEN WOULD KILL TO HAVE AND MY BODY ODOR HAS NEVER BEEN A COMPLAINT BY THE OTHER WOMEN I'VE BEEN WITH! YOU MISSED OUT BIG TIME! THE WORSE PART THOUGH WAKING IN THE MORNING WITH A NOTE SAYING 'Sorry I Had Other Things To Do?!' Kate, caught off guard, noticed everyone staring at them. She raised her hands in defense and began stammering a good excuse. Kate: It seriously wasn't you, it was me. Hazel (voice getting louder): YES! AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE YOU! YOUR DAYS WILL BE FILLED WITH WOE AND MISERY CAUSE YOU WERE WRONG TO LEAVE ME! YOU WERE WROOOONG! GOOD NIGHT, ENJOY YOUR PARTY AND FUCK YOU! Hazel stormed off leaving a blushing and embarrassed Kate. A few guests stared at her either shocked or hiding their laughter. Kate spotted Bruce who held his glass up. Kate (angry whisper): I am going to get you for this.

Bruce flipped the light on in his bedroom as he and his family arrived back from a gala. Bruce, Kate and her girlfriend: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Bruce: IS THAT MY FUCKING SECRETARY!

Kate: PAYBACK IS A BITCH ISN'T IT! Dick (with the others downstairs): Kate's here? Bruce (upstairs): Why in my fucking bedroom?! Kate (upstairs): I'm not doing it in your kids rooms! Bruce: BITCH I HAVE GUEST ROOMS! Kate: EWWW NO! Bruce: GET OUT! Kate's girlfriend/Bruce's (possibly former) secretary ran down the stairs. Dick covers Damian's eyes. Kate's girlfriend (running into a downstairs bathroom): I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please don't fire me! Kate: You said you've dealt with this before!

Bruce: What made you think I wanted that with my cousin?!

Kate: Don't invite my ex to a dinner party!

Bruce: Don't text my girlfriend from a burner phone pretending to be me and telling her I faked it!

Kate: I'll do it again!

Damian (to his brothers): Faked what?

His brothers refused to answer as Bruce tossed Kate down the stairs while she was wrapped in his bedsheets. She landed on the floor in front of the Wayne kids. Dick covered Damian's eyes confusing the young boy.

Kate: You think him walking in on Dick and Kori would make this normal.

Damian: What?

Dick sighed embarrassed he was thrown into the conversation.

Kate: Bruce, can you at least toss me my contact lens case?

Bruce tossed a small case down the stairs, directly at Kate's head. Kate (running upstairs): BITCH! DON'T ACT LIKE I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU WITH SELINA! Damian: What is even happening? Dick: Nothing you need to see.

Alfred walked up the stairs to break up the two currently sparring cousins and managed to break them up and send them to different rooms of the house in a time out. ---------------------------------------------

Bruce (As Batman): You hanging upside down there.

Kate (As Batwoman): Get me down.

Bruce: All right, after this.

Kate: Don't you take pictures!

Bruce: Nah, I'm doing that.

Kate: Oh my God you are an ass.

Bruce: You don't have to say you love me. I love you too.

Kate: Of all the cousins to have.
