Supervillains for a community. (Well, except those jerks over in Gotham, insular lot, but they’re they’re one problem) Of course they do- supervillains are a group defined by strong opinions and a willingness to see them through, often with a healthy dash of societal failures and trauma as a catalyst.
The fentons, while not active even on the online message boards, are well known and explosive when they do show up, full of fascinating insights and hours long rants on mad science on hair pin turns courtesy of that ADHD attention span. Bit of the cryptids you feel honored to bump into kind of deal. Besides, like a good quarter of the community as it aged, they’d settled down and had kids (not necessarily in that order) and taken it very seriously! Out in the middle of nowhere, where even the most fearsome government outpost members, the local branch of the IRS, quake before them in fear. Out of the way.
Reveal gone okay-ish, Danny moves to Gotham still to get some air bc now things are Akward and he landed that engineering scholarship which is loads better than any other college would give him with his track record. So- the mysterious Fenton children are finally crawling out of hiding! Everyone is psyched! And roll in to Gotham en masse to witness the fireworks!
Except Danny is Determined To Be Normal. He’s had enough of the throwing himself into harms way shit for a lifetime- he wants to be free to peacefully built Rube Goldberg machines and unintentional increasingly complex bombs to his hearts content. JAZZ, on the other hand- the coveted token Normal One, has finally snapped! She’s watched her baby brother she practically raised throw himself into danger over and over and could do nothing, and now that she’s exposed to this whole network of superheroes outside of small town Amnity, some of those uglier emotions are coming out. And boy is she pissed! And can’t afford to show it much while filing the paperwork to have Arkham legally razed to the ground!
See I love this idea of like, niches in superhero society. A villain the heroes know they can plop their kiddo down with for an exciting afternoon brawl while they take care of a particularly grisly case and come back to a few hours later ranting about some new life lesson and a new move they really want to try. A villain who has a functioning moral compass despite their somewhat batshit long term goal and you can contact to fuck with another villains’s plan so they can laugh at them and you can have an easy afternoon. One who pries up hostile architecture and fills in pot holes, idk man. Get creative here, there’s such potential!
So Jazz becomes a Training villain- someone the heroes know their sidekicks will walk away from in a fight 100% of the time, usually with some new lesson to ponder and only a couple of bruises. Sometimes even snacks!
She also absolutely ambushes mentors to check that they’re worth the kiddo, which they appreciate once they get over being jumped in a dark alley by a 7 foot Amazon trained force of nature. They are not used to being on that side of the jumping, it’s a little unnerving.
(Yes, she low key adopts Shazam upon checking in with him on cursory ‘is the main hero of this city and asshole’ checkin. Yes, the super clones get yoinked out from under Superman’s negligent thumb to go have a blast with Ellie. What about it?)
This however only encourages more assorted weirdos to crawl out of the woodwork. It’s not often one of their own forfeits their potential spot for the running of the coveted Most Normal I Swear prize, but when they do it’s bound to be good! But jazz is off hounding various heroes and punching the faces in of pedophiles and shit whenever there’s no cape within easy reach, and so is a mite bit harder to contact than Danny, who has innocently gotten an apprenticeship under a clockworker for access to their workshop and is gleefully going about doing nerdy shit with great abandon.
Plus this is Gotham. No one gives a shit if someone in the Mad Alchemist uniform and still smoking from their latest experiment pokes their head in a window to bother the local shrimp teen- none of the usual social rules apply, everyone’s crazy here! So everyone drops any and all attempts at masking and just acts their genuine unhinged selves, much to the alarm of the Bats and frustration of Danny.
Bc he cannot get these mfers to go. Away. Even liberal use of the creep stick has little effect when the interloper is calibrated for an opponent with super speed or laser vision or whatever, and he’s trying to maintain his guise as a Normal College Student Do No Investigate.
So he calls in the big guns. He’s not super active in the supervillain kids group chat ever since things in amnity calmed the fuck down post becoming King and then immediately using a loophole that says he will not take the throne until he is grown, as defined by finishing learning his trade a la the medieval standards Pariah set up. So he can just take his sweet ass time with his graduate degree and out of inter dimensional bull shit that much longer! Point is, he hasn’t taken the chance to rant over there in a while, so his Crazy friends are getting a lil worried.
The change to come over and shout at their batshit crazy but (mostly) well meaning parent AND see Danny? Score!
The bats, however, are getting awfully suspicious about this one kid that villains from all over the country are flocking to, especially young and upcoming ones as of recently! And he’s acting his engineering course- all the worst rogues are known to have flown through their PhD studies prior to Cracking. They seem to have a real problem on their hands with this Fenton guy.

JJK x Reader: Gym date
Gym dates!
Characters: Satoru Gojo. Suguru Geto. Kento Nanami

Warnings: Mentions of creeps staring
Satoru Gojo
It was not intentional, making you a gymrat, that was. He was very much in to fitness when you first got together. His favorite thing was sending you post workout photos because your reactions always fueled his ego.
He always, always took time to try and partake in your interests. It felt fair that you tried to take part in his. When you asked if you could go to the gym with him one day, he was eager to accept!
Unfortunately, the man that he is did not take the fact that you were not an active person into account. After warmup stretches he immediately just carried on with his standard routine. Satoru is insane. He starts his routine off with burpies. You don't give up, of course. But you cannot keep pace.
Satoru is so eager to show you how various machines work though. It's definitely an excuse to be close to you. It also served as an excuse to stare down any man, woman, or otherwise who stared at you.
Despite it being a gym date, for once he isn't so insanely clingy as he tends to be. He's encouraging and excited and is sure you don't hurt yourself.
Though, just because his own safety is also important, he does ask someone in his same weight class to act as his own checker when you get to weights. Unfortunately, as a man always on the grind, he is not dropping any weights on his bench press just to make you feel better.
It is also definitely because he wants to show off how strong he is. He is pushing his limit because of course he is.
What he didn't expect is how much fun you had, even if when you got home you were sweaty and miserable and simply wanted to exist in a hot bath until your skin melted.
You were ready to go again two days later. Satoru was sure it was a phase. Not that he didn't enjoy the gym date, of course! He was always happy to have you with him. Though he might need to sacrifice showing off for his own personal safety.
While the two of you warm up, he asks if there's anything you want to focus on if you're going to be accompanying him to the gym. You smile and joke about wanting to out-lift him. He takes it completely seriously.
Next thing you know he has a routine for upper body strength completely planned out for you. With a little bit of core strength to even out the workload and to avoid injuring your back.
When you accompanying him to the gym becomes a normal thing, it doesn't take long for you each to go off on your own to focus what works for you. Though Satoru makes it a point to always be at your side, changing his routine around so that he's always close enough to help if need be.
Satoru knew he was making a monster when you started to send him post workout photos.
Suguru Geto
Suguru was shocked when you said you wanted to go to the gym with him one day. He thought it was some weird ploy to see if there were people hitting on him while he worked out. Then he thought it was just to admire him. It took him a few tries to figure out that you did, in-fact want to also work out with him.
He was instantly on board with the idea. He also had no issue simplifying his routine to accommodate the fact that you were new to this, he wasn't about to leave you in the dust.
You had honestly expected him to get possessive about you. So many people around who could stare at you in potentially somewhat compromising positions. He didn't though. "I'm with you after all, you're far less likely to get hit on if you're with a gym partner."
What you miss is the downright threatening stares he gives anyone that he feels is even slightly pushing their limits. You don't miss the fact that he's quick to make a formal complaint to the gym itself when you mention someone was giving you the creeps.
It seems he's actually a pretty popular guy in the gym. Not in the way you were expecting though, a handsome man like him. He's polite to others and eager to help. When he spots someone at the bench press on their own he makes sure to keep an eye on them just in case. When their elbow gives out and they dump the bar to the side to avoid crushing their throat, Suguru is immediately there to help.
He takes his fitness and more importantly, his safety in fitness, so seriously. In turn he does the same for everyone else.
Suguru is still pretty handsy with you though. When he corrects your posture, he doesn't just demonstrate but uses his hands to guide your body.
He's quiet during sets, but afterwards is so kind, insisting you did amazing. He doesn't want to distract you after all. Consistently he checks in and makes sure you're okay. You are, and you know you could tell him if something was wrong. He makes you feel so safe in an environment that could otherwise be so judgemental.
When you're done and home he's quick to run a hot shower. He doesn't mind waiting for you to finish first before taking his own though.
Even if you don't end up going with him regularly, his gym buddies never hear the end of how much fun he had working out with you. He'd just never force you to do something you don't want to.
Luckily, at least once a week, you two make it appoint to have a gym date. For your relationship, and your personal health!
Kento Nanami
He had never even thought about gym dates. It was something he did for himself first and foremost. At the gym Kento was able to just shut his brain off after a long day for some very much needed him-time.
So it was definitely weird to have someone come with him. Especially because he suddenly became very aware of his own personal bad habits. Not that he was inconsiderate to anyone else. Just that his safety never quite came to mind.
It was so second nature to him that he stopped a moment when you asked if he was going to stretch before working out. No, he was not. Not until you said something.
There was just something about going to the gym after a long day at a job he hated. Especially because he was able to tune out the stares he got when he did squats or dead lifts. Maybe it was better you were here.
Nope. That was a lie. Suddenly it feels like every single person in this gym is staring directly at your ass when you squat down. He's such a reserved man, never been insecure about his relationship. Except for now.
Not that he didn't want to share something he enjoyed with you. It just wasn't that he enjoyed working out in the way people tended to enjoy hobbies.
Eventually he manages to calm his nerves. You two find a corner to ease his weird paranoia that people are staring.
You are actually dumbfounded when he mentions that he doesn't listen to music when he works out. Just the ambiance of a gym. You offer him an earbud and the two listen to some pre-made work out playlist.
The mood lightens as both of you rag on the music taste of whoever made the playlist while you both hold planks. Even when you give out because of your inexperience, you lay on your stomach across from him. The two of you joking around quietly in your own little corner of the world.
You eventually simply hang out and watch him go through his routine. Not wanting to accidentally fuel whatever weird insecurity fell over him.
There's a plus side to it though. While usually it is something he does because it's routine, he finds there's something fun about having you at his side. Exercise becomes a little more fun when he has someone there with him.
His life often tended to be so dull when he committed himself to being a man of routine. While maybe, at first, there was something that irked him, he actually greatly enjoyed the date.
When you get home he has a rare moment of vulnerability after he's showered. "Were you eying anyone else while we were there?"
You just smiled and laughed at something so ridiculous. "How could I? The best man in the entire world was in front of me the whole time?"
