“J’onn hates being around Batman because of his mind” Wrong. J’onn craves the moments he has to spend in Batman’s presence because Bruce Wayne is somehow the only person on the Watchtower, save maybe Victor, who can consistently keep his thoughts at an “inside” level.

Danny held up a large sign from the background like a man at an airport as thier leader, Robin, gave his report to this "Justice League". The first sign said, "Help! I'm surrounded by daddy issues!" Earning a laugh from someone off camera. He then pulled the next card out from behind the first one.

"Can you send air fresheners? It smells like teen angst in here"

This one got a cackle from someone on the Justice League side of things. Score. No one here really wants to laugh. They're all edgelords and Danny is suffering. He didn't really want to be here, but things in Amity had ended in a way he never expected.

Both he and his parents had been arrested.

Not by his worlds government, mind you, but by the government of another Earth. This Earth that he was currently on to be more accurate. Who knew that so much of the stuff he and his parents had been doing was super illegal and wouldn't ya know it? He was in the middle of doing something really sketchy looking in his parents lab when the feds busted in.

Thankfully, the Justice League presented him with a deal: they take him out of Juvie and the reformation program he was in, and in return, he joins a team of former teen/child villains and anti-heros.

Figuring he had nothing to lose at this point he agreed.

He was not expecting to be surrounded by angry angsty teens. His fault really. He should have known better. Thankfully it seems like nobody knows about Phantom and he'd like to keep it that way.

Psaro was his calm in the storm. The other boy was proud and almost as arrogant as Robin, but he had been proven to be very kind and reliable. If Danny ever needed advice or if Robin was getting a bit too much, he could just knock of Psaros door.

The last time Robin had a fit and was starting a fight with someone, Mr. Pointy ears stepped up and told Robin that his outburst was undignified, especially for someone of a higher class like Robin seems to be presenting himself as. He also said something about there being a big difference between a king and a tyrant, but Danny had been trying to rush Robin's victim to the medway and didn't hear all of the convo.

Psaro was some kind of half demon prince who was also from another world. He didn't have a superhero name yet, but the program was brand new, and to be fair, Danny didn't officially have one either.

Some lady called Raven was supposed to be coming in to help Psaro and convince him to embrace his human half and help him with magic and...something about a curse? What did Danny get himself into???

AU where Captain Marvel is literally just three kids in a trench coat and no one notices.

Mary on the bottom, holding them all up and getting super strong legs from holding them all the time. She jokes it’s because she holds the family together.

Freddy in the middle as the arms. He surrounds himself in pillows to give them the appearance of muscles and being bigger than they are. It’s doubles as protection from attacks.

Billy is on the top as the head and spokesperson. He’s the one who has to talk to civilians and convince others that they’re a singular normal adult.

It started off as a way to get into pg13 movies (they didn’t want to see the R rated ones, they just wanted to watch the fnaf movie or something), but when it worked (the person working there was so amused, they just let them through) they got more confident and started doing it more and more often.

Because of Fawcett nonsensical and at times childish logic, the city (or its connection to the rock of eternity) sees this and decides to play along. The magic of the city lets them slowly become more and more convincing, and eventually gods and even the universe itself join in on this little game.

The kids think they are master actors and become brave enough to become a superhero. They don’t notice when their pillow protection works a bit too well and saves them from increasingly deadly blows. They don’t realize that no amount of leg strength could let Mary leap over an entire building, or that being charismatic isn’t enough to give Billy the knowledge and wisdom needed to be convincingly adult-like, or that doing sports couldn’t give Freddy the speed and reaction time to catch a projectile in mid air before it hits them.

It gets to the point where they join the justice league and lie about their powers coming from a wizard named ‘shazam’ and a few gods. They come up with a few random gods on the spot, not realizing that many of them are from different sources or aren’t gods at all, but they still convince them. Even Batman is fully confident that they are an adults and telling the truth about the source of their powers.

The kids think they’re pulling the greatest scheme in the universe.

The universe is happy that it has adopted three newly super powered children in a trench coat.

Barry, death-knuckling his seat: "Are you planning to get us killed? We're not gonna make it. Hal!"

Oliver: "Barry, maybe let's hold off on distracting the guy right now--"

*plane flips over to dodge the combination of enemy fire and asteroids*

Oliver: "Hey Hal, you-- watch out--"

Hal: "You two wanna fly this plane?"

Barry, Oliver:

Hal: "Then can it with the backseat flying!"

*enemies crash into the asteroid they just ducked*

*plane stabilizes as they get through*

Hal, satisfied: "How'd you like that Spooky? And all without your stupid built in co-pilot."

Oliver: "I think you broke him Jordan, he hasn't said one word--"

*they all turn to Bruce*

Bruce: *asleep*

Oliver: "Sweet Jesus. Is he dead?"

Barry, leaning over to check: "He's... asleep."

Oliver:

Hal: "I'm a little offended."

Oliver: "You know what this means? We don't have to put any of that in the debrief!"

Hal: "Yeah, no, I'm telling everyone. That was epic."

Oliver: "Goddamn it, Hal."

Okay, but, Bruce gentle parenting the fuck out of the Justice League is literally such a funny concept. Like, the only reason it works so well is because of the overwhelming amount JL Daddy Issues; they’re all secretly desperate for some parental affection and Bruce is so naturally a Dad that he can’t help himself.

That gold star thing he used to do with Dick? Where he gave him a little star every time he kept himself safe during a patrol? Same thing works perfectly for Clark. He’s literally indescribable (but Bruce worries) so whenever he comes out unscathed from a battle (which is most of the time) he’ll hand Clark a little golden star sticker. Clark collects those things like they’re priceless artifacts and sticks them on his laptop.

The anger management therapy he did with Jason? Where he’d run through katas (a series of choreographed martial arts movements) whilst doing breathing exercises? Works like a charm on Diana and Dinah. They’re both super powered, so anything Bruce puts in front of her they’ll destroy, so going through a good old fashioned kata before a big mission will help them both focus without risking the destruction of the Watchtower.

The mindful meditation he did with Tim? When they’d sit in silence until Tim’s brain finally trained itself to know rest? It’s the perfect thing for Barry. He’s a speedster so his brain moves at about the same pace as Bruce and Tim’s (though maybe not quite as analytically); the post-mission meditation sessions are the perfect thing to help him calm down.

The art therapy he did with Damian? Where they’d paint memories that brought them pain/loneliness/loss/sadness because talking about it was too hard? Surprisingly, both John and Hal are into it. (Must be a Lantern thing.) Neither of them are great artists, but John paints about his time in the army and Hal about his time in the Air Force. They’ve both lost friends and comrades, have seen the worst of humanity up close, and just can’t always verbalize that feelingly of powerlessness even though their the galaxy’s greatest warriors—but they can paint it.

The silent chess games he’d play with Cassandra? Where’d they’d sit there and pick each others brains without having to say a word, could communicate an immense amount of emotion with the slide of a pawn? Great for Jon. He can’t talk into Bruce’s mind (not without considerable effort) and he can’t really talk to Bruce about everything that happened to him on Mars, but they can sit and play chess until they both have a mutual understanding of one another’s trauma.

All the crocheting he’s done with Steph? Where they’d sit in front of a fireplace in Wayne Manor and discuss their similarly complex relationships with their parents? Loved to do this with Arthur, of all people. They have to get waterproof Atlantean yarn, but the efforts worth the creations they make during Monitor duty, and it’s one of those rare time when Arthur can really vent about all of his troubles leading a life above and below sea, being a king, his love life—anything. Bruce will always listen.

And then, all of the soccer that he’s played with Duke? Where they’d let loose and just be competitive? Cyborg similarly appreciates this, but prefers football, naturally. Now, Bruce is too old to tackle a Mother-Box-Enhanced human, but that doesn’t stop him from covertly setting up pick-up football games on the front lawn of the Hall of Justice every other week.

So yeah. Bruce and his gentle parenting.

I'm supposed to be working on smth, (and I totally am, I swear!!!) BUT a little cheat break? As a treat?

Imagine:

Billy gets used to playing adult. This kid balances a job, pays his bills and taxes on time and runs a (possibly fraudulent) company with his not-really-his-uncle Uncle Dudley and runs a superhero outfit with his family, the kid learns to juggle keeping his identity secret along with the rest of the madness in his life. Entirely his circus populated by all his monkeys.

Except-

He might have gotten too used to it? Billy has been balancing and hiding since he was 7. He'd worked with the League, made friends, passed down the hard won lessons to his own Shazamily and kept saving the day and the world.

He'd MEANT to tell them when he was 18. But he kind of...forgot? There was an alien invasion that year! Sue him!

So he keeps getting interrupted and keeps putting it off and what do you know, the man is in 30s before you know it. The rest of the (human) members of the League are pushing 60, 70 even.

Some of them have retired and Billy visits them at home (in civilian dress because he now has a whole host of spells he'd learned and is working on becoming the Wizard)

He'd helped inaugurate some Teen Titans and Young Justice members into the actual League itself!

After a certain year, he'd even begun detransforming since his adult self looks very much like Marvel, though he retains a kind of identity interference spell just to mess with Batman bc he wants to see how long he can keep the gag of him not knowing his identity going.

No one thinks anything of it, thinking he's like Wonder Woman, mostly unaging but can power up and down.

Well, at least until the newest Robin (Damian is batman at this point maybe?) Is climbing on the ceiling and realises...Powered down Cap has grey in his hair.

[flossthecryptid]

Something that definitely happened when Tim first became Robin

Flash: Did Batman… replace his child?

Tim: *cross legged on the floor next to Batman’s chair playing Stardew Valley on his phone*

Superwoman: Every new one just gets smaller and more sad

Tim: *dies in the mines* if I had an option between bursting into flames right now or living another day I would choose the flames

Everyone:

[puppetwoman17]

@lavena had a really good idea about C.C. being a sort of compass for Billy/Cap when he’s lost somewhere. Like, he just shows up and stands there in the dark, and Billy moves, and that’s when HE moves, and he just knows to follow him to a safer place, or to the place he was planning to go to.

This doesnt stop after he becomes Captain Marvel. Whether he’s lost on Apokolips or trying to search through deep underground catacombs, CC is always there.

I just think it’s neat how close they are.

Also I feel like this would elicit so many stranger-danger talks from the League while Cap just shrugs and says that he trusts this random shadow dude with his life.

One last point, CC’s ghost wears a hat and trench coat. Two of the Trinity of Sin(Question and Phantom Stranger) also wear a hat and trench coat. I think it’s a neat little detail that shows that CC has a duty similar to theirs while not being punished.

Also I’m dying to see Pandora in a dark pink hat and trenchcoat to complete their look. Looks weird for her to be the only Trinity of Sin member with a hoodie.

DC All In Special #1 - "Alpha" (2024)

written by Joshua Williamson & Scott Snyder art by Daniel Sampere, Dan Mora, Alejandro Sanchez, & Tamra Bonvillain

[frownyalfred]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Jason also train under ra's al gul?

Imagine if and when the justice league ( by extension young justice) find out several of the bat family members are missing "unnecessary" organs. I imagine the league would freak out and fret over the batfam more. 👀

Anytime the Justice League sees the real human toll this kind of work takes on the Bats, I’m in 👀 Let them feel guilty for never noticing. Let them agonize over assuming and struggle to come up with the right things to say when bones are broken and mortality is remembered.

[dragon-lancelott]

batlantern fake marriage AU where they were joking or something about it and decided to fuck with the league saying they got married in a random spur of the moment but the league actually believe them and they are just like 'wtfffff we don't even like one another' but then they fall in love slowly then actually get married.

[this comes from the fact me and my friend just faked got married and i told another friend and they believed me 😭]

More poorly spelled migraine induced Billy thoughts yippeeee

All the first names of superheroes get revealed by a villain and they say that they’re going to reveal their last names too in a week if their demands aren’t met

They find the names throigh magxial means though so they accidentally find marvels name from like six champions ago. It’s far from tehir real name but technically it used to be so he decides on a strategy.

Tehy can’t stop the villain by giving them what they want because it’s a terrible demand, and yeh whole world Is on the edge of their seats waiting for their full names to drop so none of them will help them either.

So Billy goes to an interview and they obviously ask him how he feels about his name being revealed. He uses his experience pretending to be a sad little kid for free food, and he gets a bit teary eyed and says he was already upset about them revealing his friends liek that, but deadnaming him was just the cherry on top.

The world goes crazy, people who were waiting for the names to drop are now enraged and they go after the guy themselves. There are riots and angry mobs. Teenage girls on TikTok find their address and steal whatever magical item they used and smashed it.

Basically the LGBTQ+ community cancels a villain and saves the day.

This probably sucks because my Brian is still not working but too bad! You read it anyway and your not allowed to unread it mwahaha
