Blood Blossom Au: Baby's First Commissioner Meeting :)

TL:DR This Post: Danny (orphan) gets poisoned with blood blossom extract by Vlad. He runs away from him and ends up under the care of one Pre-Robin Battinson Batman! Starry is loudly pushing her batdad agenda.

(Also known as "Late At Night, When The Nightingale Sings" on my ao3!)

This was a fun rough idea I've been sitting on for weeks, thinking about how Commissioner Gordon and Nightingale's first meeting might go.

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

Commissioner Gordon likes to think that he's adjusting to the new normal of Gotham very well, -- the new normal being grown men running around dressed like bats, in military-grade strength body armor, committing acts of vigilantism, -- and slowly, little by little, he was no longer being surprised when this new normal pops up out of the shadows like the world's most terrifying daisy. His shaving lifespan thanks him for it.

....

The kid is a surprise though.

Granted, he seemed to be a surprise to the Bat too.

There's been a string of murders lately, -- which, in Gotham, is kind of like saying there's been another storm during monsoon season. And there's just been another; in some dilapidated building down in south Gotham, with the broken, boarded-up windows and mildew-crawling walls to match. The victim is a man in his thirties, multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, left in the center of the room for the blood to pool out around him.

The place is already secured when he arrives, the building swarmed with officers and the forensic detectives. The Bat emerges shortly after he does -- or, he might've been here the whole time, hiding someplace dark and shadowy. For his own sanity, Gordon doesn't think about it too hard.

The kid is a surprise, and he appears like a bolt of lightning.

He shows up in the middle of a conversation Gordon is having with the Bat.

A whistle, sharp and loud, slicing through the air, meant for open air rather than a confined space. Gordon's ears pierce and protest the sound, and the solemn, murmured chatter floating through the room abruptly cuts off like the swing of a gavel. As he turns towards the sound -- as they all do -- he swears, up and down, that he sees Batman's shoulders jump, just slightly.

At the source, perched on the window, is a boy. A boy in a gray-blue scarf and an oversized black hoodie, one that hangs off his frame and has ace bandages wrapped around the wrists in some attempt to cinch the sleeves. The hood is up, big like the rest of it, and threatens to swallow the upper half of the boy's face whole in the fabric. What upper half Gordon can see, is smeared with some kind of opaque, black face paint. He's holding onto the side of the frame with one hand, on his hip is a grappling hook. A familiar grappling hook.

Gordon has multiple questions, and his officers tense up.

Martinez puffs up, brows furrowing as his face shapes into a frown. Shoulders rolling back. "You can't be here, kid--"

The reaction is immediate, like a spark to gunpowder, the boy yanks his fingers from his mouth and his mouth twists into a scowl. Head snapping over to Officer Martinez, his hood manages to stay on but Gordon swears that as he bares his teeth, the glint makes them look sharper than they should be. His voice is rasp and quiet and harsh; snappish in its hissing; "Put a fuckin sock in it, Martinez. I'm not stayin."

Martinez reels back, and the boy immediately veers his attention off him. Like a switch, his demeanor drops. Despite half his face being covered, his mouth twists into a cringing, apologetic smile. Slanted and off-beat, embarrassed. It'd be disarming if this wasn't Gotham, and if he didn't just hiss at Martinez like he was about to bite his head off.

"Sorry." He whispers, voice deceptively polite and softer now. Gordon has to strain his ears to hear him. "I was looking for him."

He points his finger towards-- Gordon? No, Gordon follows the direction, and finds himself looking at -- the Bat.

The Bat, who always looks stiff as a pole, now looks even stiffer. Somehow. Well, the explains the grappling hook attached to the boy's waist.

"What are you doing here?" The Bat says, gruff and unable to completely smother the stumble of surprise in his tone.

The boy still holds a sheepish smile, and slips off the window ledge. His feet hit the creaky boards with a near-silent thud, the Batman finds his feet and rapidly begins crossing the room.

Gordon notes the slight tremble in the boy's legs as he straightens. He adjusts his scarf, which droops close to his knees now that he's standing, and slings a backpack -- how long has had that? -- off his shoulders. When the Bat reaches his side, he does as he always does, and looms over the boy like a spectre. A threatening mass of shadows cloaked in all-consuming black. Standing next to him, the boy looks teeny in comparison.

The Bat is a man who terrifies even the most hardened criminals, Gordon has seen grown men shiver in fear at the mention of his name. And yet when the boy looks up at him, he doesn't even flinch.

Instead, his sheepish smile melts away like ice under the sun, holding only traces of his previous embarrassment. It remains as a shadow on his face, a small upturn at the corners of his mouth. The boy pushes his hood back just enough to reveal glinting, ice-flint eyes surrounded in tar-black face paint. He holds the backpack up with one arm. "You forgot this."

Pro tip!!

why settle for an absurd amount of coffee over a large period of time when you could pour a 5-hr energy straight into a Monster and shotgun that thing?

Hi there! Hope it's not too weird to ask, I've been wondering! Sometimes I think about trying my hand at doing some fanart of your characters, and I've had the particular itch to try with your characters from the Meanvamps world lately. I run into the issue however that I have an idea of how I think they look from what you've written, but I'm not 100% it's right Do you think you might be able to give us a detailed run down of important details and heights etc? Are you ok with fanart? Thank you ♥

i love fanart, please feel free! i had actually planned on having some art ready by now to go with some character profiles but i’ve had persistent computer problems. i think orion was almost done so i’ll see if i can salvage him from my old hard drive and try to get to the rest when possible.

Integrate Low-Code Development Into Your Agency & Enhance Your Service Portfolio

With the breakneck speed at which the digital era is evolving, agencies and development companies are now adapting to newer and more innovative ways to offer services to their clients. The main driving factor for this? Everyone is racing against time, and newer projects almost often arrive on shaved down budgets, where the traditional development formula simply doesn’t work.

Now, as an agency, mostly true to traditional development processes, how do you navigate through newer requirements in a lesser amount of time? The solution- switching to low-code alternatives for projects. This helps to deliver expected results to clients on a tight budget. This is especially true for startup companies that are outsourcing their development processes to agencies and development companies. Mobile app development for startups often demands quick turnaround times and cost-effective solutions, making low-code platforms an ideal choice for meeting these needs efficiently.

Low-code app development also manages to take care of the issue of a lack of skilled developers, by leveraging pre-built components, and visual interfaces to accelerate development. Low-code development is also projected to bring in about $187 billion by the end of this decade.

Now, if you are an agency owner looking to rope in more clients, but are stuck at the fence of time constraints as well as budget cuts, this can be your wildcard entry into enhancing your agency’s portfolio by integrating Low-code development.

If you’ve come to a stage where you wish to enhance your agency’s look amongst existing clients and potential future business opportunities, this blog has everything that you need to know for low-code integration into your agency projects.

The Era Of Low-Code App Development

Digital transformation is ruling the current era, where Low-code and No-code are just a couple of cogs in the wheel. The integration of low-code app development in organizations and companies worldwide is expanding quite rapidly. In 2023 alone, the predictions for low-code development for business applications were crossing 49%.

With the actual numbers growing steadily every single day, the era of low-code development is upon us, and it would be a folly to not include low-code in the most crucial aspects of business application development.

Low-code brings on board the possibility of developers of different technical expertise to use drag and drop features in an interface for pre-configured components to be assembled into an application. Leveraging these skills in an agency setting will help to execute digital transformation practice, and add more value centric processes to the overall portfolio.

Why so much fuss about the agency portfolio? Well, the first thing that a potential client sees first when it comes to outsourcing work to a new agency is their track record of project deliveries, technical expertise, and turnaround time. Guess what is the best way to showcase that? That's right- your agency’s portfolio.

Integrating digital transformation tools into your processes to well streamline everything and develop smart business applications with innovative ideas like low-code has to show up on your agency’s portfolio, for two reasons:

First, to show that innovative ideas and tech are both embraced in the agency to deliver great results on business application projects.

Second, to rope in potential clients who wish to leverage low-code development into your agency.

There are many advantages to using low-code development for projects, some of which are discussed below.

The Agency Advantage Of Using Low-Code To Develop Apps

Agency advantages of using Low-code to build apps almost always translate to a better client experience, and faster launch of their business application. Basically, the advantages of switching to low-code development of certain projects looks like:

Accelerated Time-To-Market

The use of pre-configured apps and drag-and-drop user interfaces to build business applications significantly reduces the development time, especially when it comes to time-bound launches. A Forrester study found that using low-code development processes to develop business can reduce the time involved by up to 10%.

This translates to a faster launch into the market, and feedback for your MVP can start pouring in faster. Overall, you can evolve your business application faster to target a wider audience.

Cost Reduction

With the help of low-code in development, the time devoted to development is significantly cut down, and so is the need for more developers, this translates to utilizing the best resources, on a stringent budget.

High business application development costs are a perennial challenge for agencies. Low-code platforms reduce expenses by streamlining processes, minimizing the need for extensive coding, and optimizing the use of resources.

Enhanced Client Satisfaction

Low-code is a gateway to providing clients with the ultimate satisfaction for their projects with the help of pre-configured components. This helps to build highly customized applications tailored to client needs. This also helps to foster long-term partnerships with clients, by rapidly incorporating their feedback and trying to build applications tailored to their business needs.

Superior client-agency relationships also translate to better results for all parties involved, since companies that offer superior customer service have a much better chance of retaining business.

Increased Agility and Scalability

With every arena in tech evolving at a rapid pace, it is quite important that development agencies, too, move along at the same pace. The simple rule is to adapt- or else you get left behind. This also gives more chances to your agency to build applications that are flexible and scalable as per the client’s requirements.

This agility factor is quite crucial to keep ahead of competition in business.

How To Enhance Your Agency’s Portfolio With Low-Code Integration?

With all the talk about digital transformation and why low-code is an ideal choice for business application development to stay ahead of the game in all aspects, it is also important to understand how exactly you can go about it. Well, we might have a few pointers for this:

Leverage the Right Platform

Evaluate and assess the different low-code platforms. Then, based on the different requirements of different clients, leverage the best low-code platform to develop their business application. For this, you have to consider factors like scalability, integration capabilities, and ease of use.

Hire Competent Teams

No agency will ever reach designated heights without competent developers. Even with digital transformation, no technology is a match for human intelligence. Ensure that you hire the best developers who understand the intent behind any business app and can navigate low-code platforms skillfully. Investing in hiring and training teams to upskill in low-code application development might reap you great outcomes overall.

Foster Innovation In App Development

The spirit of innovation must be kept alive while working with low-code application development agencies. If your clients do not feel genuine inclination towards innovative solutions, they might be apprehensive about outsourcing a project after all.

Creating an environment where collaborative ideas come together and are experimented with and realized by the development teams will definitely give an extra edge to your agency, beyond the portfolio.

Prioritize Security

Security is the biggest thing at stake when it comes to application development in the business world. When dabbling in low-code, make sure that you look out for airtight security measures.

While many low-code platforms already offer security measures, given the type of data your clients may be dealing with (e.g., bank account or credit card information), it is critical to implement extra safety measures, for better digital precaution.

Conclusion

A lot of revenue and value remains yet to be realized by agencies because they aren’t adept at conforming to rapidly changing technology. With digital transformation at the helm of everything, it is also important to adapt to newer innovative ways to get things done- in this case, application development.

Various low-code platforms can help to cut down on both costs and development time of business applications with the help of pre-configured components and a graphical user interface. Using such low-code platforms to build your apps will definitely help to enhance your agency’s portfolio, as well as pose the maximum business potential for prospective clients.
