Related to my prev post:

I don't give two shits if Bruce is written like a bad dad if it means we get good writing for everybody else since i think minorities are more important than a white cishet male nepotism baby unlike his butch lesbian counterpart who's judaism is an actual fundamental part of her character and since he's been written as abusive so consistently over the years it's in-character anyway

Dick can be both bi/pan and demisexual and there's more evidence for the latter than the former so making him be sexually loose is aspec erasure and mspec stereotyping and he dosen't have a thing for redheads,he has a thing for black women and to me the only guy he seems to like romantically is Roy and that adds on to his demisexuality since they're childhood best friends

'Catholic guilt Jason' is a shit headcanon that misses the major and critical part of him being Red Hood that he didn't feel the slightest bit bad about killing people and the point of his redemption was learning remorse,afrolatino Jason isn't based on stereotyping but him filling out so many black and latino cultural aspects and if any hcs for him are stereotyping it's the one that he's a slut because he's a very handsome and hot and cute goth punk man

Tim is perfect the way he is and dosen't need power ups or to get 'punished' for the oh so horrible crime of being a realistic teenage boy,he's not JUST huge a loser or a super cool dude but both at once and it's bad writing and fetishistic to ignore his wide range of relathionships that consists of mostly of women to make him a 'guys guy'

Stephanie is heavily autistic and bpd-coded so she's far from a 'normie',much less an 'it girl' but people see blonde hair and blue eyes and throw away everything else about her because that's all she's worth to them or call her an abuser and a pick me just like they do irl bpdtistic women and she's also canonically pastel/indie punk and a Team Mom but gets her presentation switched to basic and made out to be a womanchild instead

Cass had a million times more moral conflict than Jason ever did,would never in her LIFE wanna be feminine even in the chinese way and would be butch in it instead,turning her scattered speech into sign language is ableist not unlike(but not on the same level as)changing Babs' type of wheelchair disability and she'd be a better Batman than any male character in existense

Duke is only a golden child in the sense he has a yellow motif and is as disruptive and authentically quirky as his siblings,We Are Robin is a better team than the canon Outlaws,his powers are cooler than any Al-Ghul ones you could come up with,he has more femme energy than Tim does and Carrie Kelley ain't shit and only gets brought back to replace him because DC is antiblack

Damian's introduction mentality was a result of not only child abuse but also psychological grooming to get him to dehumanize himself and all his bigoted comments are explained either by him being like 12 or his writers trying to demonize brown people and anybody who thinks he's a bad person is a super-sized pissbaby with no sympathy for kids of color,shipping him with Jon is making a bisexual man into a ped0phile and Jay is good even if aging Jon up wasn't and he should be friends with Maya,Suren,Nell,Colin,Kathy,Maps,Tai and Miles,Gwen,Peni,Pavitr,Hobie and Margo from Atsv and Nico and Hazel from Pjo instead of Billy Batson or Danny Fenton or ANY Mcu characters

Talia is super hot but should be drawn in accurate arab clothes instead 'sexy assasian gear'(not that these two can't co-exist but you get what i mean),her personality is extremely rich and her stories are mega interesting,she's a good mom to Damian and literally never 'took advantage of Jason' seeing as That Scene In Lost Days was decanonized by it's writer who said it was ooc for her on his part,she should've been a mom figure to Stephanie in her Robin Days too since they would get along and she deserved her own run where she takes over Lexcorp to transform it into a force for good and become Superfam-adjacent to free herself from having only male connections

A Lovely Intervention - Damian Wayne x Jon Kent & Tim Drake x Conner Kent

Words: 2.3k

Requested? Yes! From a lovely anon!

“Can you make a fic out your short where Damian is taking after his brothers? Maybe like an intervention or something? I love your shorts I basically binged them😁😁”

LINK TO PROMPTS -> REQUESTS ARE STILL OPEN!

I LOVE THIS! TimKon is my everything and we love Damian and Jon secretly taking after their brothers and it turning into a whole family moment. This req made me soft, thank you so so so much and I’m glad you like my shorts hehehe 💓 Hope you enjoy!

“We gotta talk get here asap.” Dick called his family, needing to investigate the current problem.

“I’m bringing Kon if you’re interrupting my day” Tim buzzed in, and Dick smiled, everything was going exactly to plan. “Yeah Red that’s fine, I want him here anyways” Dick replied, hearing the whoosh of Tim and Conner take off towards their rondevu point.

“Kay gang’s all here except the demon, you hiding him here somewhere?” Jason mocked, eliciting a harsh look from Dick.

“No, this meeting is actually about him, or about us. Have you guys noticed Damian and Jon trying to imitate us recently?” A lightbulb went off for Conner as he stole the floor, recollecting his most recent interaction with the boys.

“Oh my god yea, wait get this: I’m at the farm gettin’ work done so I could hang with Timmy - don’t blush babe everyone knew we were out together - yeah, then I see Damian tearing across the field with one of Ma’s horses. And I’m like ‘Hey Punk! She isn’t yours!’ and the kid gives me this shitty little smirk like he knows something, and he keeps going! Then he has the balls to flip me off! In my house?!?” Kon was waving his hands around trying to get the point across. “Is this gonna go anywhere airhead?” Jason interrupted, and Tim grabbed Conner’s hand, pulling him down back onto the ground after he began floating with anger.

“Shh babe lemme finish I was there too” Dick looked taken aback “TIM YOU SPENT THE NIGHT AT CONNORS? YOU TOLD BRUCE YOU WERE WITH THE TITANS” Tim quickly blushed and kept talking “Well yeah, but that’s not the point! I was watching Damian cuz he wanted to go over and ‘watch the stars’ which seems lame but the kid’s messed up enough maybe he needs some star gazing” Jason rolled his eyes, tapping his wrist to hurry his younger brother up. "Shit I took Kori star gazing a few weeks ago!" Dick mumbled before Tim got back to explaining.

“Sorry, sorry, so I wake up before Kon and go down and Jon is showing Damian pictures of all his pets then he ruffles Damian’s hair [ Dick audibly gasps ] yeah I fucking know, he let him touch him. Then it gets worse. Jon was wearing your jacket Kon. With the fucking spikes. The. Spikes. And Damian complimented him like I always do like he said ‘looking sharp Kent’ and that’s literally my line. So I have to do some recon but you’re right Dick, the kid’s a robot or something, not the demon” Kon nodded, finishing his story right after Tim “Oh my you’re right, Jon told me that he wanted to give Damian something to cement his feelings, like how I give you some of my clothes and souvenirs babe, except he gave the punk a whole ass horse!”

Dick realized it was getting worse that he thought. “This is good info guys, Tim I don’t think Damian is a robot but I think he’s taking after us, remember when I caught you trying on my Nightwing outfit? Jay you did it too, do I need to remind you about the Robin suit? And Kon you know what it’s like” The three boys shifted, uncomfortable with being called out by Dick.

“Alright so what do we do? Jump off a bridge and see if the demon follows? Kid doesn’t take after me so I don’t know why this is a problem?” Jason crossed his arms, still a little hurt by the robin reference. “Shut up Jay you’re with Tim running interference while Conner and I take the lead” Dick looked at the group explaining his plan. “Conner you’re talking to Jon about being himself, don’t roll your eyes they’re teens they need shaping in the right direction, it’s the least we can do. I mean look how well Jason turned out, you don’t want that happening to Jon!” Conner nodded, glancing at Jason who was openly scowling at the group. “Shut up Jay you’ve got the easy job unless you rather take mine and try to talk to Damian about his feelings. That’s where you guys come in, if Damian tries to make a break for it you’re security.” Tim and Jason high fived, excited at the possibility of having to cage a demon.

“So, plan A is the civil plan, plan B is caging the bird and then trying to be civil what happens if plan B fails?” Tim was well aware there were odds Damian wouldn’t want to hear it. Dick sighed, “well, plan C is disgusting Jon and Dami with Kon’s sappiness” and Kon cheered. “Plan C it is!” And it was time to set the plan (s) in motion.

“Dami look! I’m like a bat!” Damian tried to suppress a smile as Jon grinned, hanging upside down on the tree he’d climbed. “C’mon I can see that smile come hang with me!” Jon cooed and Damian easily scrambled up the tree, sitting on one of the limbs with his back against the trunk. “TT Kent I’m Robin not Batman, besides shouldn’t I be trying to impersonate your father?” he joked, tracing an S on his chest.

In a flash, Jon was pulled from the tree by his big brother. Damian jumped up, not sure what had taken Jon. “At ease soldier, it’s just Kon!” Tim walked up to the base of the tree, gesturing Damian down. Sliding down the tree Damian mumbled “your Kent stole my Kent” and Tim nudged him “so you’ve staked a claim huh?” and Damian blushed, looking down and walking towards the house. “Dames Dickwing needs you for something I think he’s waiting outside. “And you’re not coming? Gonna spend another night with Conner, who is your excuse this time?” Damian sneered as it was now Tim’s turn to flush with red. “Hey you wanted to go too! Don’t pretend like you didn’t hold Jon’s hand on the way over” Damian didn’t turn around, flipping Tim off as he raced toward’s Dick’s car.

“What’s with the super-snatching?” Jon huffed while Conner set him down on top of the family barn, the view of their home from on top of the barn was a favorite spot of theirs. “Well, uh, I’m never good at these but I’ve noticed you and Dames getting really close, and that’s really cool ya know”

Jon gagged and tried to begin climbing down from the roof, “oh god Kon no. I don’t want whatever talk you’re trying to give me. You really? Aren’t you already with a bat yourself?” Kon snorted “so you admit you wanna be with the bat?” and Jon huffed, sitting down again. “Maybe a little bit - what does it mean to you!” Jon refused to make eye contact with Conner. “Kid nothing’s wrong! But if you are I just wanted to give some advice, one SuperBat to another!” Jon shook his head at the cringeworthy ship name but eventually gave him attention back to Kon.

“What I’ve learned is that each of those boys is their own person, and so are we. And you know how hard that was for me to learn especially! So, I guess we’ve noticed you kinda trying to act like me and Tim but I just wanted to tell you that Damian isn’t Tim and you aren’t me, you gotta make your own path bro” Kon nudged Jon as he nodded, “yeah, I mean you’re right Damian is nothing like your coffee addict, he’s strong and passionate and really cares if you actually look deeper and - uh, yeah. I get what you’re saying.” Kon smiled, it wasn’t often they had a good “bro moment” but it went well. “Okay good talk bud, I’m gonna take ya back over now, but remember I’m here to give advice. You know Damian is emotionally constipated and so’s Timmy sometimes so I’m here when ya need me, okay bud?” Jon rolled his eyes “okay there we go, too sappy Kon, let’s go back... Oh no, are you guys trying the same thing with Dames?” Conner nodded, and Jon groaned knowing Dami was gonna be in a bad mood now if he hadn’t torn one of his brothers to shreds yet. “Let’s go back now”

“What do you need Grayson” Damian slumped in the passenger seat while Dick began driving. He noticed Dick locked the doors and noted all the ways he could escape if Dick wasn’t who he seemed to be. “Not much little-D just wanted to chat n grab some food, I’ve missed ya!” Damian narrowed his eyes, “I thought you liked Kent, you let Tim sleepover too and he had significantly more fun with the clone than Jon and I, who knows what they were doing while we traced star patterns” Dick cringed, noting that he’d have to talk to Tim later. “Well this is actually about Jon! You’ve gotten really close huh?” Damian shifted in his seat, getting a clear view of the car’s side mirror which showed none other than Red Robin trailing a couple hundred feet behind Dick’s car. “What is happening Grayson, we’ve done nothing wrong, not to mention nothing the clone and replacement haven’t done,” Damian couldn’t fathom why he was being tortured by his mom brother.

“That’s just the point baby bat, you and Jon haven’t done anything for yourselves. You invited Jon to star watch, Kori and I did that two weeks ago, Jon’s ruffling your hair the way Kon does Tim, and you’re saving news clippings from your adventures with Jon just as Tim does with Kon. It’s time to be your own guy Dames!” This was too much emotional intervention for Damian. Noticing Tim had fallen behind he pulled the lever on the car seat and use the momentum of it flying forward to push himself out the car’s side window. Never without his tool belt, he grabbed his grapple but cursed Smallville for having nothing good to swing towards. He heard cars honk and a child threw themself out of a window, rolled smoothly on the grass beside the road, and took off.

He was in the clear until he heard the rev of Red Hood’s motorcycle. Muttering under his breath he pulled out the comm he and Jon had exchanged just a few days before, he’d seen Jason do it with his teammates why shouldn’t he? As he signaled Jon he let his thoughts divulge for just a second at how similar he was to his brothers, and how Jon really liked to copy Kon as well. “Might have a point but this is good fun” he mumbled as he radioed Jon.

“They try the intervention?”

“I think I’m still being intervened for lack of a better word. Care to give me a lift these damn Smallville buildings aren’t big enough to swing from.” Damian heard Jon chuckle. “I would say ‘I’m on the way bird-brain’ but I think that’s Kon’s line and we aren’t supposed to do that anymore” Damian groaned at the realization they’d already gotten to Jon and knowing him he’d want to talk about it with Damian. There truly was no escape, but Jon was better than getting captured by Jason and Tim.

“C’mere you little shit!” Jason screeched as he saw Damian pick up the pace. Damian would usually know when he’d lost and go in for a fight but the kid kept running. “Something’s up, he’s not fighting” Jason lookup up to see Tim soaring down towards Damian. “Wings aren’t flapping Drake you’re not airborne much longer” Jason noted as Tim cascaded through the air. “Long enough idiot, pick up is on the way”

“of - fucking - course it is” Jason stopped in his tracks when he saw not only Jon but Conner flying in, Conner on Jon’s tail. “So is this just a fun exercise now? I think the kids got the message” Tim had connected Kon to the group. “Leave ‘em be let’s go for plan C” Dick told the group and the comms filled with Tim’s groans and Kon whooping. “Nah I’m out but I still wanna give ‘em a run for it. Dami is smart he’ll figure out what he and Jon are” Jason tried to sound caring and thoughtful, but really he wanted to chase Damian and not have to watch Conner makeout with his brother. “Alright we can talk later, go get them” Dick gave the go-ahead and the three took after their younger brothers who had quite the head start.

“Clone is on our tail, can’t you go faster?” Damian complained. “Good one Rob but if I’ve got this correctly I’m the one carrying you.” Damian rolled his eyes, using his wrist computer to find the quickest hiding spot. “Left here, hard turn” Damian instructed as Jon dove into a field of grains. “Not that hard idiot” Jon laughed and Damian couldn’t contain a giggle. “Well they won’t find us... what should we do?” Jon poked at Damian.

“Sometimes I wonder how I befriended you”

“So you admit we’re best friends!”

“Glad that’s what you got”

“Well now that we’re here wanna talk about our..... feelings?” Jon waggled an eyebrow at Damian.

“Forget it, Jason finding me is better than this” Damian began to get up when Jon grabbed his hand, stopping him dead in his tracks. “Stay with me Dames, just for a little” and though Damian wouldn’t admit it, he was glad Jon asked him to stay, because he was never good at the feelings thing but with Jon he kinda wanted to try. He wanted to find what the feeling of his heart pounding out his chest and his brain being fuzzy was, and just how he could feel it just a little more often.

M&M's

Bloodline Family Series

The parents left their 17 year old boys in charge while they went on a mini vacation together for two weeks. Everything had been going good for them. The boys got their siblings up and ready for Sefa to take them to school then got themselves to school, homework was always done, they were clean and fed. The Reigns' house was clean, aside from a few things here and there. The boys were just awaiting the arrival of their parents so they could get their money for being responsible sitters.

"We going to Miami. Right?" Milo asked with his phone in his hand.

Eli sucked his teeth, "Yeah but Aunni can't go. Boys trip."

"You know Nola not lettin you go to Miami without her," Koda added with a snicker.

The cousins laid around the den, watching television and talking while their siblings played upstairs. Well, Haleigh was in her room on the phone.

"She don't control me. I do what I want."

"Aight, keep playin with her," Milo laughed, "You remember when you went to Tampa without her?"

Eli sucked his teeth again. "Man, she ain't trust me then."

"Oh so yall good now?" Koda asked.

Eli say quietly for a second, "Man fuck yall, I ain't scared of her. Bet I still go."

Jadyn walked quietly into the den holding a big bag of M&Ms and tapped Eli's arm.

"Can we get some?"

Eli looked to his left at his brother then at the bag. "Yeah, you don't ask Jay. You and Jalen 8, y'all don't need permission."

"Unless you at my house," Milo pointed out. "You might have to ask to breathe."

Jadyn ran off with the candy, taking them back upstairs.

"Talkin about I can't go? Bitch, you can't go. Auntie A is crazy as hell, she not lettin your bright ass go nowhere."

Milo threw his empty water bottle at Eli laughing. "Suck my dick, I'm going."

Haleigh came down to the den with the phone to her ear, waiting for them to stop talking. Koda told them to hold on and put his attention on his little sister.

"What's up, Hae?"

"I'm about to walk to Morgan's house real quick, I left some stuff there."

Koda started to get up, "I'll take you."

"No," she shook her head finally hanging up the phone, "It's literally four houses over. Plus yall might wanna go check on the boys."

"Why?" Milo asked quickly.

"When I was passing the room I heard them talking about studying something in someone's nose."

"Fuckin hell. I bet it's your demonic ass brother, Lo." Eli mumbled jumping up.

When they got up to the room Simba was lying on the floor with Jadyn and Jalyn hovering over him. Eli sucked his teeth and snatched his brother out of the way by the backs of their shirts.

"Who got something in they nose? Which one of yall is it?" He asked quickly.

"Not me," Jadyn said folding his arms.

Jalyn huffed, "Simba does."

"Snitch."

"Watch it, Jadyn. Who put something in his nose?"

"Go head, snitch. Tell him."

Eli dropped Jadyn onto the carpeted floor, he hit the floor with a thump. "I told you, Thing One."

"We thought it'd be a cool game, we were all gonna do it but you guys came."

Milo approached his baby brother slowly. He hoped it was something he could pull out. If he couldn't, he knew Jey would whoop his ass. He sat on the floor and pulled Simba into his lap, examining his nose.

"Simba, what the hell? Why would you let them do this?" Milo asked in a panicked voice.

Simba shrugged. "Just a game, brodder."

Koda and Eli kneeled beside them.

"It's not just a game, how many of them shits you got up there?" Koda groaned.

"8," Jalyn answered for him.

Milo couldn't believe his ears. His ass was starting to hurt, he could just feel the ass whooping Jey was gonna give him.

"How the fuck we get them out? We all got fat ass fingers." EMI said looking at his hands.

"Auntie A is gon whoop our asses."

"Correction, my dad is gonna whoop our asses."

"Language. But whoop yall for what?" Kandice asked from the doorway making all six boys jump.

Eli looked straight at his youngest brother, "Don't you open your mouth, Thing Two."

"She's gonna find out anyway, E," Koda sighed. "The twins and Simba were playing a game and it went wrong."

"Went wrong how? Matter of fact," Kandice paused to laugh to herself, "Come here, Simba."

Kandice squatted so that she could look at the four year old. She immediately saw the blue m&m in his left nostril, then looked at the boys.

"Twins, did yall do this?" They both nodded. "Did Simba help?" Again they nodded. "Did your brother and cousins give yall the candy?" Silence.

"So yall don't hear ya auntie talkin to yall?" Jimmy asked stepping into the room.

They quickly confirmed.

Jimmy looked at Simba, laughed then walked out of the room.

"Come on. Let's go downstairs and show your parents," Kandice told him grabbing his hand. "Y'all come too."

The twins and Eli went to hide behind Jimmy once they got down to the living room. Koda and Eli stood as far back as possible. Roman was the first to see Simba.

Jey, Apryl and Trinity saw his face drop and turned around. Jey rushed to pick Simba up, red in the face with anger.

"Why the hell do I see a blue m&m in my baby nose?" Jey asked angrily.

"Cause me, Jadyn aand Simba put them there."

"Snitch!" Jadyn yelled pushing his twin. Jimmy and Eli popped him.

Apryl laughed a little bit but she didn't think it was funny. With this happening the chances of alone time were slim to none.

"We left the three of yall in charge, how this happen?" Jey huffed.

All three teenagers started to talk at the same time, including Eli sucking his teeth and Koda complaining about how his sibling didn't have these problems.

"Koda," Kandice called softly.

"Yes ma'am?"

"Close your mouth, you're not helping."

"But, Mama. I..."

Roman glared at his son. "You heard your mama, close it or I will."

Koda zipped his lips and threw his hands up.

"Look, we apologize, Unc. They're kids, they learned their lesson. Its cool." Eli reasoned standing behind Jimmy.

Jey cut his eyes at his nephew. "And the three of you gon learn a lesson when I put my foot up yall asses."

"I mean, Unc, you only got two feet and it's three of us sooo."

Trinity slipped off her sandal and chucked it at her oldest. "Boy shut your ass up. If yall asses wasn't sitting in here talking about that trip, that yall asses not going on no more, y'all could've been watching them. You know they bad as hell."

Apryl rolled her eyes seeing Jey try to pull the m&ms out Simba's nose and called out to her oldest.

"Ma'am?"

"Get here, NOW!"

Koda jumped then pushed his cousin towards Apryl causing him to bump her a bit.

"Your ass better hope and pray that your daddy get to you before I do," she threatened through gritted teeth, "Cause if I do your ass gon be in the emergency room right next to your demon brother."

"Nice knowing you," Eli waved them ducked Trinity's other sandal that came towards him.

I honestly don't understand DC always trying to undermine Raven's powers. I read the current comics that she's in and it is so poorly written and boring. They suck at character development and its so fucked up that she's always brushed aside. And also I'll never forgive them for killing Roy and they keep fucking up Jason. These guys went through a lot and I just wanna see them be happy and I want to see more batfamily moments and team ups like in Batman and Robin Eternal.

Hello,

Reasons I am mad about Canon Raven:

She’s ALWAYS depowered; always, and she is literally the very definition of an over powered character.

When they attempt to over power her again they fuck it up; like in Titans with Raven’s ‘telepathy’; she’s a fucking empath! NEVER has she been a telepath!

She has never been utilized outside of the Titans; which is infuriating on many levels. Because she needs to go solo; with a big comic or go to JL Dark or hell, team her up with Lucifer! I don’t know, but something outside of the fucking Titans!

Her solo series, while hold much promise are always cut short, or tie into nothing about her canon life.

They just severed her connection with her aunt and cousins, further isolating her again.

I am royally pissed that her connection with Victor Stone, a.k.a. Cyborg, (which I think is canonly her BEST familiar relationship EVER, their dynamic is amazing; it’s also an amazing dynamic for Victor too! So why was it cut!?) has been severed, was briefly rekindled only to be discarded again.

She’s always de-aged; sorry @chromium7sky, but I really hate that because I really think she should be about Jason and Tim’s age, hell, I’d even settle her being Dick’s age, just enough de-aging her! At this rate; and I’m sorry @impulse-goblin, she’ll be a RobRae with Carrie Kelley or Matt McGinnis! Which is so not okay because DC is screwing her over royally.

Marv, her creator, can no longer write her well to be engaging; which is sad.

She’s been royally dumbed down; which really fucking pisses me off, because even though N52 SUCKED BALLS, Raven, while bitchy, was always eager to learn; it’s one of her defining traits! She’s super smart, she’s engaging, she’s empathetic and kind, and rebirth has made it so she struggles with school. -.- Explain that to me, please, she’s never been stupid or struggled learning before. And I get trying to connect with modern readers, and making characters relateable, but that was just plain fucking stupid. There are other characters you can do that with, using Raven does not help in anyway.

I will not get into my issues with N52, there’s many, but mainly: WTF is up with Raven’s Entire Personality!? I mean don’t get me wrong, I loved the design she had, and I loved her on Tim’s team, also their entire friendship was amazing, but WTF, what a Bitch. I wanted to smack her.

They either forget she is a magic user, or they forget she’s a demon with demon abilities or something, but it always seems like one or the other is missing with her.

Off side key irritation too: How come her father doesn’t play a larger part of the DC universe and getting heroes to fear him? I mean come on! Titans plays him up to be like Darksied or Lucifer level of terrifying, and the DC universe: Who’s Trigon? WTF is that about!? You want the Only Daughter Of Trigon to have meaning, to show her power, then why the fuck isn’t Trigon more widely known and feared!? Come On People! We have Darksied’s ENTIRE Family feared, but you want to play Trigon off as eviler than Darksied but the entire DC universe outside Titans is like: Who the Fuck is Trigon!?

Kay, Metal hinted at her connection and importance to the Multiverse, but the DC, I don’t know… Forgot? And somehow the entire reason for her being captured, isolated and singled out by the Batman Who Laughed was forgotten. Granted my favorite panel of her and Victor happened because of that, but seriously; MAJOR PLOT HOLE DC! Come on, we aren’t Marvel, cease these plot holes in your big labels! Be grown ups!

Mainstream Raven hurts my Raven loving heart. But her counterparts are pretty cool, like on Earth 1 or Bombshells or the recent Titans movies, definitely liked her in the Titans live action show, and obviously I loved her in the cartoon; not Titan’s Go as that has helped in destroy her and the Titans.

Now, my issues with Heroes Crisis:

King. Fucking cock teasing bastard tormented us with BatCat for over a year, getting them to the fucking alter then he did that fucking stunt; hell yes I am pissed still, and I am no less angry going into Heroes Crisis.

Kay, now for real.

I have major issues with the plot, thus far, because there doesn’t seem to be one.

Killing Roy and Wally did nothing to further a plot, or even engage in the plot and has just furthered to hurting surrounding characters.

Killing Roy was fucked up and senseless; as a writer I find that appalling.

Killing Wally was unnecessary; especially after all the fucking trouble we had gone through to get that speedster back! I mean COME ON! It’s like you brought him back solely to kill him off, and if that’s the case, someone smack a brain into King’s fucking head.

While the premise of Heroes Crisis was engaging and interesting to read the idea for it, it has been a dismal affair.

Why the fuck are your only suspects Harley Quinn and Micheal Carter, a.k.a. Booster Gold? No seriously want to explain that!?

There is NO WAY Harley would ever hurt or kill Ivy, just no, and DC I don’t care about trying to cater to people and convincing all of Harley and Ivy are straight, it just wouldn’t happen. Ivy and Harley are in love, and I sincerely doubt, that despite EVERYTHING Harley has done in her life, that she would ever kill the woman she loved.

Also, Micheal Carter has selflessly saved the timeline multiple times, and done so without recognition. Yes, he can be full of himself, but where the hell did King come to the conclusion that Carter was a sociopathic narcissist? Someone please explain the basics of human nature to King; PLEASE! For the love of God, someone! I expect this crap from Lobell!

Now to my fury with the Batfamily in it’s current state:

Rebirth presented us with fairly healthy dynamics between the Batfamily members; which was refreshing as all get out, but now… I’d like to rip DC’s heart out and shove it up their ass for what they’ve done.

First, they allowed King to be the ultimate cock tease! Bastard built up the fucking BatCat wedding to be the wedding of the goddamn century; going to make comic history! And he fucks us over like we’re a two cent whore whilst simultaneously destroying the Batfamily.

Second: who the fuck even ALLOWED Lobdell into DC again to write!? I mean really!? Did you asshole not learn your lesson the first time!?

Third, wtf is up with Ric Grayson; I get it, we’re all exceedingly immature for taking an actually socially acceptable nickname from the 1930′s and perverting it into penis jokes. But news flash, Dick’s character has evolved with taking that in stride and laughing it off. Changing his name only pisses us off and furthers our desires to make dick jokes.

Fourth: What the fuck are you guys even doing allowing Lobdell near Jason? I get it Lobdell is some ‘big shot’ good ‘big name to have on a comic’ but his writing is shit, I’ve read better stories from Kindergartners. Lobdell is like the Russo brothers of DC, please remove him from our premise, and I petition for us, the fans, to take custody of Jason from Lobdell for the sake of global comic peace. The Dude Can Not For The Love Of God Write. I’m surprised he even knows how to arrange letters on a piece of paper to form words honestly.

Why aren’t Duke and Cass B’s kids? No seriously? Why!? We all know those are his favorite two kids, so wtf are they doing… anywhere else but with the Bats?

Why is Babs Batgirl? Don’t go with that female empowering crap answer, just don’t, she was a better icon as Oracle than as Batgirl. She’s long since outgrown the role, and she had grown beautifully into the role of Oracle, so run this by me again: Why did we take a beautiful survivor, who created empowerment for people with disabilities while remaining a strong female lead and turn her back into Batgirl? Seriously? Someone explain that to me!?

Thank God DC hasn’t fucked up Tim yet, but Can We Please Stop With Evil Batman Tim!? Tim doesn’t even want to be Batman! He Never Has Wanted To Be Batman!

WTF did you do with Damian’s character development? He is not this baby raging Bat anymore who seeks to kill everyone who crosses him. Also what the hell was up with the whole Dami’s got a secret prison thing? That lead to nothing and has since been dropped, but seriously people, who is the lead brain in DC right now allowing this shit!?

Again, I must ask, what’s up with evil Bat futures; have we NO HOPE that these boys can grow up and actually be decent people!? Really. I want to know. I don’t get the options you’ve given these heroes.

Why does B have a double standard when it comes to Kate and Jason; and don’t say it’s because Jason’s killed, Damian’s killed and B is trying to be a good dad to him, so what’s up with this shit!? Is it really so much easier to have the rift between B and Jay than attempt to amend it!? If B has a problem with Jason using guns then the same problem should be applied to Kate; I don’t care about her likability, she’s a bitch and the double standard should cease.

And why is Jason trying to connect with Willis Todd? Willis was an abuse fucker or did Lobdell for get his own canon material again? Someone please remove Lobdell from DC premises! PLEASE! Send him to Marvel or something, I don’t care, but stop allowing him to fuck over Jason because he wants to!

Now, again, I’m brought to the double standards B has and his own reckless behavior. DC please, either find a ethics and morals person to join your writing team, or grow a fucking brain because you are precariously close to having Batman become the killer and the villain.

Why are we isolating the Bats again, when they were so connected at the start of Rebirth? I want to read about the Batfamily BEING A Family! Not this divide and pit against each other crap.

The worst part of all this is, Rebirth actually started off great! Now it’s a flaming pile of wreckage and I almost wish we’d go back to N52 if only to stop watching the same trainwreck over and over happen.

Yours Forever

Hi, y’all! So a friend of mine got me hooked on this new ship called SpeedDemon (Irey West x Damian Wayne). I may or may not be a little obsessed with it. (read: totally obsessed). Anyway, I’ve written a few stories for them, but here’s one I’m really proud of. Let me know what you think!

Ship: Speed Demon (Irey West X Damian Wayne)

Characters: Irey West, Damian Wayne, Dick Grayson (briefly), OC

Rating: M

Words: 3313

Irey walks down the hall of her apartment, towards a baby crying. She stifles a yawn as she calls out,” It’s ok, lightning bug. Mama’s coming. Mama’s coming.”

Opening the door to the nursery, she sees a masked figure standing over the crib. She should freak out. Any normal person would freak out. But Irey West isn’t a normal person. Instead she moves over and nudges him with her hip. Robin turns to look at her. Irey has to stand on her tip toes to kiss him. He smiles against her soft lips.

“I hope I didn’t wake you,” He says. Irey snorts.

“I was already awake.” Irey reaches into the crib, lifting the baby girl from her sheets. Cooing, she says,” And this little beauty is hungry and wants her mama. Don’t you, Asha?”

Damian smiles at his girlfriend. There’s something about the love of his life holding their daughter that makes him want to freeze time. Asha’s cries slowly begin to die as Irey walks her around the room. Damian pulls his mask off and unhooks his cape.

“I’m gonna go change, Nuri,” He says. Irey nods, humming to the baby on her arms. Damian showers off quickly, wanting to get the stench of the streets off him. Tonight wasn’t a good night. He’s the first to say it, but the last to really process it. He could have done more. He should have done more. But he didn’t and someone’s hurt because of it. He changes into a clean pair of boxers and t-shirt. Walking back into the living room, he finds Irey sitting on the couch, nursing Asha.

Like most nights Damian hangs back for a minute. He shouldn’t have this. He shouldn’t have this apartment filled with pictures of him and his friends and his family and Irey. There’s so many pictures of him and Irey. A few are hidden away, of them in their uniforms, as kids, as teenagers, before they were dating, after. There’s one on his desk at work that comes to mind. Irey’s about six months pregnant, long fiery hair pulled up in a messy bun and wearing one of his shirts over her yoga pants. She’s laughing. She looks so beautiful. He shouldn’t have her either. Damian doesn’t deserve Irey West in any way shape or form.

“Oh, careful, lightning bug,” Irey coos to Asha,” you don’t want to get a tummy ache.”

“If she eats like her Uncle Jai, we might have to worry more about her choking.” Irey turns her head, smiling at him. Her big green eyes sparkle at the sight of him.

“I don’t think we have to worry about that just yet,” Irey notices the tightness around his mouth,” Did something happen on patrol?”

“It’s nothing.” Damian comes to sit next to her. Asha’s caramel skin is strange contrast to Irey’s pale, freckled breast. Her tiny head is covered with dark curls. Thick lashes flutter over her bright green eyes. She rests perfectly in the crook of her mother’s arm. His tiny, beautiful daughter is perfect.

Damian’s throat tightens a little. He doesn’t deserve Asha. Asha shouldn’t even exist. If that sounds harsh, it isn’t. Not really. Irey had been told at 13 that her chances of having a child at all was low. Low enough that she never could have imagined getting to have a family with him. Low enough that she refused to tell anyone that she was pregnant until she was halfway through the second semester and couldn’t hide her bump anymore. Low enough that Irey burst into tears hearting their daughter’s heartbeat for the first time. This little girl’s existence is an impossible thing. She deserves a father who can protect her from every horror out there.

What if that isn’t him?

“Babe?” Irey’s voice breaks the slew of panicked thoughts in his mind,” Can you hold Asha for a second? I need to get her a bottle.”

“She’s still hungry?” Damian takes the infant, holding her as if she was made of glass.

“I’ve been tracking her calorie intake. I think she has my metabolism.” Irey’s adjusting her bra as she goes to the kitchen. Asha looks up at Damian. He cradles her as she shoves her fist into her mouth, drooling profusely.

“What does that mean? Long term, I mean.” Damian asks. Because of her speedster powers, Irey has to eat about 10,000 calories a day to maintain a healthy body weight.

“Not much. I’m good about monitoring what I eat and drink, so I can watch it while she’s little. If anything, we never have to worry about feeling bad for feeding her crap food.” Irey laughs. Damian smiles. Irey walks over and hands him the bottle,” Baba looks like he could use some cuddles from his lightning bug.”

Damian’s ears burn a little when she calls him Baba. She’d been very firm in Asha being in touch with her Arabic roots, especially since Damian had grown up in the middle east. Baba means daddy in Arabic. No one but Irey calls him this. Damian takes the bottle. Asha needs no coaxing to take the bottle. Irey looks at Damian the same way she looks at one of her experiments.

“Something bad happened tonight.” It’s not a question.

“Irey…”

“You promised to never hide anything from me, Damian. You promised me the first night we made love, remember?” He does.

“Someone…someone got shot tonight.”

“Oh, Dami…” Irey caresses his cheek,” Who was it?”

“A gangbanger. He’d been giving us intel on Jupiter’s whereabouts but…we were ambushed.” He can’t meet Irey’s eyes,” He was 12, Hayati.”

“Jesus Christ,” Irey shakes her head,” that’s horrible.”

“I-I was looking at him, Irey. One second, he was being a little shit and then…then his blood is over the wall. He’s in critical condition” Damian’s voice grows soft the more he speaks. Irey scoots closer to him. Asha’s nearly finished with her bottle, long lashes drooping over her cheeks,” I saw him and all I could think was ‘what if this was Asha? This kid…he’s someone’s. He has a family.’”

“Baby, you can’t think like that.” Irey knows it’s a horrible thing to say, but it’s true. If Damian goes out into the field and thinks like that, he could trust the wrong person. He could be killed,” Damian, it wasn’t your fault.”

“Whose fault is it then?”

“Whoever shot him.” Damian looks down at his little girl. Her chubby little cheek presses against his shirt, tiny puffs of breath escaping her lips,” Babe?”

“She’s asleep.” He doesn’t want to talk about his feelings right now. No matter how much he loves her, it’s still hard for him to do. Damian carries Asha to her room. He’s careful to lay her on her back. Irey wraps her arms around his waist, resting her head on his back. Damian covers her hands with his.

“Dami, you can talk to me. About anything and everything.”

“Everything’s different, Nuri. Since Asha was born, every child related case…it hurts. I don’t know if I…I’m scared of failing.” Irey moves so she can see his face.

“What are you scared of failing at?”

“Everything. I’m scared of failing at being a good hero, at being a good boyfriend to you, a good brother, a good son. I’m terrified at not being a good father for Asha.”

“You are a good father,” Irey sees the doubt in his eyes,” Damian, do you think I’ve ever questioned your love for our daughter? If I’ve ever thought for one second you wouldn’t do anything to protect her? Or to make her smile?”

“Irey- “

“You are an amazing baba. Asha adores you. You are the only one who can get her to stop crying at 3 am. You always play with her once you get home from work, no matter how stressed you are. You offer to feed her so I can have a second to myself. You always offer to watch her so I can get work done or shower or whatever. Some of my friends heard me say that and they were shocked. Like a father actually taking care of his kids is out of the ordinary.” Irey presses a soft kiss to his cheek,” Don’t you ever doubt how great of a father you are.”

Damian finds himself smiling at her words,” How do you do that?”

“Do what?”

“Believe in me when I can’t.”

“It’s because I love you.” That’s all she says. Damian leans down and kisses her.

She pulls him from the nursery to their room. Damian presses soft kisses to her body. Over the scars she’s amassed from her years of heroing and the newer stretch marks on her belly and sides, whispering about how beautiful she is. Irey kisses his scars, telling him how much she loves him. And she does. She loves his heart. She loves the way he holds her close. Loves the feeling of him beneath her, beside her, inside of her, both of them breathless at the feel of the other. There’s no one else she’d rather be with.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

It’s not long after this that Damian and Irey decide to have a date night. Or at least that’s all Damian let her believe it is. Really, it’s more than that. He checks his pocket for the fifth time in five minutes, making sure the little velvet box is still there. Asha squeals at her father, throwing her toy at him. Damian catches it easily and goes over to her. He lifts her from her play pen, pressing kisses to her cheeks. He coos in Arabic,” I know, lightning bug. You want Daddy’s attention.”

Asha gurgles, waving her chubby little hands around. Drool drips down her chin, onto her bib. Damian smiles at her onesie. ‘My Mommy is Smarter than You.’ Damian can hear Irey swearing about the hypocrisies of fashion in their room.

“Wanna know something, lightning bug? Daddy is going to ask Mama to marry him tonight. Would you like that?” Asha grabs at his dark hair. At three months old, Asha is as bright and lively as her mother. Damian kisses her again, holding her close,” you know something, Asha? Daddy loves you so much. He loves you more than anything. He’ll love you when you’re sick, when you’re sad, when you’re lonely, when you’re angry.”

Asha shoves her fist into her mouth. Damian gently pulls it out,” daddy’s going to make sure you never feel the way he did growing up. You’re never going to feel like you have to be someone important to be loved. You’re never going to be loved with strings attached. You are going to be loved unconditionally and happy.”

Irey comes into the room, pulling on her jacket. Damian takes a second to look at her. Her fiery hair is pulled into a high ponytail. Her emerald tunic brings out her eyes, loose around her black tights. She walks over to the table, ballet flats in hand,” Dami, you made sure everything is packed, right?”

“Yes, my love.” He stands, still holding Asha. Irey does a fast check before pulling a cooler of milk and formula out of the fridge. Damian hears a knock at the door,” I’ve got it.”

“Thanks, baby.” Irey smiles at him. His heart speeds up. He peers through the eyehole before opening the door. Dick Grayson grins at his little brother.

“Hey, Little D.” Grayson hugs him tight. Damian grunts.

“Careful.”

“Right, precious cargo,” Dick tickles Asha’s feet,” Hiya, baby girl. You ready for a night with Uncle Dickie?”

Asha kicks her feet in annoyance. Damian can’t help but smile. Like father, like daughter. Dick steps inside the apartment. Irey happily calls out,” Hi, Dick! How are you? How’s Mar’i?”

“I’m good, Irey. Mari’s fine. Finishing up some of her classes. Complaining that she’s not a super genius like you.” Dick laughs. Irey laughs too. Irey had gotten her Master Degree in Advance Physics at 22, one month before Asha was born. She’s going to go back for her Doctorate after Asha’s first birthday,” How have you been?”

“Mommy and Me classes make me miss being thrown into walls,” Dick and Damian laugh at this. Asha lets out a happy gurgle,” I’m good. I like having time to work on my crazy theories and my lightning bug.”

“That’s good. You two have any plans for tonight?”

“Damian and I were planning on a long walk followed by dinner at our favorite diner.” Damian gives Irey a loving look. One that spreads warmth through every part of her body.

“Well, just so you know, Alfred said you aren’t allowed to pick Asha up until at least 10 am tomorrow morning.”

“Since when does Alfred Pennyworth decide when I see my child?” Irey asks, laughing.

“Since he knows you two are bad about taking time for yourselves.” Irey and Damian can’t argue. It’s true. Besides, Irey had over packed on milk and formula in case they were out late. Irey gives Dick a few instructions: Asha needs both a bottle of breast milk and a bottle of formula every three hours, she likes her teddy bear feetie pajamas, and if she won’t stop crying, she like to listen to music. Dick actually listens to her and asks a few questions. Irey takes Asha from Damian, kissing her baby girl fiercely.

“Mama loves you so much, lightning bug! Have fun with your uncles, aunties, and Grandpa Bruce.” Irey coos. Damian leans over and kisses Asha’s dark curls. After sending Dick on his way with Asha safely buckled in her car seat, Irey and Damian start walking.

This. This is what they’ve been missing. Irey’s fingers intertwining with his. Talking about things they see, how the tiny neighborhood has changed in the last year. The cool autumn air chills their skin. They walk towards the park, along the river that cuts through the greenery. Damian keeps looking at Irey. Following the trail of freckles from her cheeks down her collar bone. The way her nose scrunches up when she laughs. The soft curves of her nose and cheeks. God, let her say yes.

They stop at their place. A little spot between the river and a large fountain. Irey leans against the railing, looking out at the inky darkness dotted with soft glowing lights,” Remember the last time we were here?”

“Yeah,” Damian wraps his arms around her waist,” You told me about Asha for the first time.”

“I remember you started crying.” Irey smiles to herself, feeling his warmth spread through her body, calming her nerves.

“When the love of your life says she’s carrying your child, one tends to shed a few tears.” Damian smiles at the memory. Irey had been crying harder than him. She was so happy. It’s hard to believe that was almost a year ago,” The time before that, I asked you to move in with me.”

“And the time before that was the night we made love the first time.”

“And before that our first kiss.”

“No, first date. First kiss was the time before that,” Irey turns so she can wrap her arms around his neck,” This is where we always seem to come before our lives change.”

“I wonder why that is?” He looks down at her, wanting to kiss her.

“I don’t know. Maybe it’s something about the clicheness of it.” She smiles at him,” I love you.”

“I love you too.” This time he does kiss her. Her lips are soft and warm. She tastes like she always does, like apples and chocolate. Irey melts into the kiss. No one every believes her when she tells them how gentle Damian is. In the hero community, his harsh and cold reputation precedes him. In the civilian community…well he’s not harsh at least. Irey doesn’t care, she loves every version of him there is,” Irey- “

“I love you, Damian. I’ve loved you since the day we met, I just didn’t know it. I love how I could always come to you with anything happening in my life. I love how you would let me cry and afterwards you told me that I need to make sure I never cried for that reason again. I love how beautiful you make me feel. How strong and brave I am when I’m around you. How one word from you can calm all the nasty, chaotic thoughts running in my head.” She smiles widely at him,” I love seeing you with Asha. I love hearing you tell her how much you love her. I love seeing you play with her or reading to her. I love when I can walk into the room and you’re holding her against your chest, both of you fast asleep.”

“Irey-“

“Damian, I can’t imagine being with anyone but you. Ever. You’re my lightning rod-“

“Irey-“ Irey reaches into her jacket pocket, pulling out a black ring.

“I know this goes against like every tradition in the world, but, Damian Wayne? Will you marry me?”

Damian is speechless for a second. Then he starts laughing. Irey furrows her eyebrows. Damian pulls the small velvet box from his own jacket pocket, opening it. Irey covers her mouth at the sight of the ring inside. The diamond has been cut into a lightning bolt and pressed into a white gold band. Tears flood her eyes.

“Irey, you were the first person to love me because you wanted to, not because you had to. You have reminded me that I can’t push people away because I’m afraid of getting hurt. You remind me that I am capable of being loved and able to love in return. You grace me every day with your smile, your hugs, your kisses. You have given me a beautiful daughter, who I have the honor of raising with the most brilliant woman in the world,” He gets down on one knee,” I am not a perfect man, but I’m a hard working one. And I will work every day to be someone who is worthy of being by your side- “

“Damian- “Irey’s crying.

“Irey West, will you do me the honor and take me as your husband?” Irey nods, tackling him.

“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Each yes is followed by a kiss. She looks at him,” What about your answer?”

“Yes!” Damian laughs. They’re on the ground, their arms around each other, both of them laughing and crying at the same time. They exchange rings, kissing again. They manage to get to their feet, only for Damian to pick Irey up and spin her around.

“Damian!” Irey laughs, holding his neck.

“We’re getting married!” He shouts. Irey laughs again. How was it the angry little boy who pulled her pigtails is now the smiling man holding her?

“We’re getting married!” Irey shouts back.

“I love you. I’m always going to love you.”

“I love you too, and I always will,” Irey kisses him. Resting her head against his forehead, she smiles,” I think it’s a good thing Alfred said we can’t get Asha til the morning.”

“Why?”

“Because right now, I want to go home and celebrate our engagement,” She gives him one more kiss,” The same way we celebrated moving in and Asha.”

Damian grins. It’s not the loving one he gives her all the time. This one’s devilish, his eyes roaming over her body. She can practically hear his thoughts about what he wants to do to her. And it turns her on even more,” I love your ideas.”

“I know you do.” Irey starts to walk off, turning her head wink at him,” Come on, Boy Wonder. Last one home is on bottom.”

Like they’re teenagers again, with no responsibilities, they run all the way home. Laughing and teasing each other. Completely and utterly in love.
