Play Though? Pt. 2
Part 1
(Dad!M’Baku x Black!OC)
Word Count: 4.8K
A/N: I started the first chapter as a Reader insert, but I’m starting to feel more for original characters, so our main girl, Xavier’s mom and M’Baku’s love interest is Remi!
Remi had a problem, a pretty big one. A couple of days had passed since the unexpected friendship between M’Baku and both of their children. Xavier had talked his mother’s ear off to death about his spunky little new friend he made, and it made Remi genuinely happy to hear. She wanted her son to get in touch with his new friend again and have a solid friend, however thanks to her father, that may not happen.
M’Baku thought he was slick giving his number to her instead of the other way around. This forced Remi’s hand to have to make the decision and time to make the phone call and invite them over for the playdate that was promised. And sure, if Remi said she didn’t want to see M’Baku again, it would be a lie. But she didn’t even know where to start with him.
“X, get your backpack, it’s time to go baby.” Remi says, sliding her shoes on as she grabs her keys.
Xavier drags his feet into the kitchen along with his backpack on the floor. “Mama.”
“You didn’t pack your game in there right? I don’t want a kid to steal it.”
“Mama.”
Remi grabs her purse talking to herself. “If I am late again, I’ll fire my damn self. Shit!”
“Mama!” Xavier yells out.
“Oh! Mama’s sorry, I know that’s a bad word.”
“Daddy say that all the time.” Xavier says matter of factly.
Remi turns to him with her hand on her hip. “Excuse me? ALL the time?”
Xavier nods, picking at his nose. “Mama I don’t wanna go.”
Remi sighs walking over to her son and kneeling at his level. “Why not? You had a good time last week. You have friends there.”
He shrugs. “I don’t feel good.”
Remi puts a hand to his forehead. “You’re not hot...Is it your tummy?”
Xavier shakes his head. “Sometimes I don’t wanna go is all.”
Remi looks at her son’s round face lovingly. Her eyes looking back at her has always been a quick source of pride for Remi. Her hair texture, face shape, and bits of personality brought back memories of when she was a little girl. She took her time with him in moments like these.
“Well son, you know how Mama has to go to work everyday?”
“Not Saturday!” He corrects.
Remi chuckles. “Yes, smart boy. Not everyday do I work, But when I have to I go.”
“But you’re big, you have to.”
Remi smirks. “I am, but you have things to do too. Like keeping your toys cleaned up, and eating your peas and carrots.”
Xavier crosses his arms. “I don’t like those.”
“I know X. But think when I wasn’t feeling good on your birthday and you wanted your favorite blueberry waffles and sausage links with lots of syrup and scrambled eggs?”
Xavier’s eyes widen with excitement. “Can I have some now?!”
Remi shakes her head. “No, but do you hear me? I was sick and still gave your your favorite breakfast?” Xavier nods. “So things like that happen. You do stuff you don’t want to because you want to do right for other people. I wanted you to have a good birthday even though I didn’t feel good.”
“Whose birthday is it?” Xavier asks.
Remi hangs her head from this merry go round of a conversation. “No one’s. But you have friends and learning to do, which you need to be a big strong boy, so we have to go.”
Xavier pouts heavily as she puts on his backpack and pushes him out the door and in the car. Once she pulled up to daycare, Xavier’s face is covered in tear trails and snot bubbles, grips her hand tightly as she walks him to the entrance. A smiling worker greets Xavier happily.
“Ohhh, are we having a rough morning?”
Remi smiles tightly. “Kind of. He wasn’t feeling like going out today.”
The daycare worker kneels down. “Well I’m glad you came. Today is when we learn about planting with crushed up Oreo cookies and gummi worms and all kinds of good stuff. Doesn’t that sound fun?”
Xavier rubs his eyes hard nodding his head. Remi rustles his braids. “Sure does! You go ahead with Ms. Faye and have a good day. I’ll be back soon, ok?”
Xavier, hugs her legs with one healthy squeeze before going in. Ms Faye stays back with Remi for a minute.
“He’s been really great with the other children lately. First whole week without even a threat of an incident.”
Remi nods, folding her arms over herself. “I think that the word ‘threat’ is a bit strong but I appreciate the update.”
Ms. Faye shrugs. “Look, it’s tough on everybody involved. But we try to be supportive and encouraging so he is reminded that no one is against him. Does he display any aggression at home?”
Remi shakes her head. “And once again, please watch the words you use to describe his behavior. Aggressive? Never. He is a mama’s boy, turns into a puddle whenever I call him out on the smallest thing.”
Ms. Faye nods stoically. “Ok. I know he used to mention visiting his father more often, has he been able to get time with him?’
Remi shifted nervously. Xavier’s father was a sore subject for Remi to dive into at any point in time. He is a slick talker, big dreamer which was half the reason Remi gave him the time of day. He has a way of making her feel like a sinking ship was still rising on the other side of the surface if you hold your breath long enough. But his promises never came to fruition and led her and eventually her son down a road that they barely got out of unscathed. She’d hoped Xavier was still young enough to not be worried about the troubles of the past, but it doesn’t seem that way.
“We have plans to see him soon, yeah. Just don’t bring it up to him, that’s a little too heavy to have on his mind when I’m not there. Ok?” Remi says. Ms. Faye nods knowingly before bidding her farewell. Remi checks her phone: of course time got away from her again.
Remi zooms over to the beauty shop, parking in the back as she jogs in the back door to make it to her chair.
“Uh uh! I know you not trying to get past us that easily Re!”
The voice that called her out belonged to Patricia or Trixie, the shop owner. She’s a middle aged Black woman who looked like Storm’s auntie, grey locs and all sitting atop her head in a bun and headscarf. She’s putting a roller set into an elderly woman’s hair.
“I’m sorry Trixie. I got behind dropping my son off at daycare.” Remi says, prepping her area.
Trixie fixes her mouth before speaking. “You spoil that boy too much. Why don’t you have my cousin watch him? She run a daycare from her house and won’t charge you an arm and leg to do it.”
“Are we just gonna forget the trap house she lives next to? Or how she turns deaf and blind soon as someone calls her on that phone she stays glued to 24/7.” Remi says.
Trixie waves her off. “Oh the boy gotta learn how to handle himself in the world eventually. When his father coming by to get him?”
Remi calls a waiting patron over to her chair. “I don’t know anymore. I haven’t tried calling him lately.”
“Oh hell, you shouldn’t have to!” Mika says out the blue across the room. She works with Remi too, started not long after Remi did.
“Thank you! The boy ought to be calling you to spend some time with his firstborn! I still wonder if he lying bout that…” Trixie adds under her breath.
Remi starts walks her patron to a sink bowl. “That’s the truth, believe me. The man acts like his dick is solid gold and his sperm is diamond encrusted. Surprisingly he don’t give it out willy nilly.”
Trixie helps escort her patron under a dryer. “He was always so odd to me. Too pretty to be like that, he oughta be having babies right and left.”
Mika chimes in from her filing her nails. “He could be like Prince or Leonardo di Caprio out here: had all these women in a tizzy but no kids. They kept they shit on ZipLoc.”
Remi and Trixie laugh at her suggestion. “Ok, ok. But to be serious a second, he should be calling you, for real. He needs to see his son and you need a break. I can tell you running yourself ragged making sure the sun revolves around him.”
Remi towel dries her patron. “I’m good. Xavier IS my world, I’m not ashamed to admit that. I’m raising a Black man in the making, and I will not fuck this up, deadbeat daddy be damned. Plus, I get me time with you all here. That’s socializing enough.”
Trixie makes a face with a slight eye roll. “I mean that’s noble and all, but hell, I don’t need you being a spinster at your age. You still got all that youth, you need to put that beauty and energy into something that’s gonna appreciate it. You know, someone that doesn’t require potty breaks and reads at high school level.”
Remi scoffs as she combs out her patron’s hair. “What’re you trying to say?”
“GIRL GET YOU A MAN! A date, a one night stand, a something with a dick and a pulse!” Mika exclaims. The whole shop goes quiet looking at her like the aftermath of an explosion. “Y’all were thinking it. You too Mae, I know you know. You been married 50 yrs and his death didn’t stop you.”
Remi’s patron Mae turned around in her chair wordlessly away from Mika in response.
Trixie tries to even things out. “Thank you for that Mika. But what I’m trying to say is you need a night out or something. You say you socialize with us but you never go outside of this shop with us, and that’s not cuz we ain’t tryin.”
Remi sighs. “You right, you right. I got a routine is all, and what if I go somewhere and-and Xavier needs me cuz he misses me? Having a nightmare? Wet the bed?”
“Ohhh my God.” Mika groans.
“Mika, shut the hell up. Re, I get that. When my kids were small, they had my undivided attention cuz I was young, younger than you, and had to hustle to make sure my babies had what they needed so their lives were good despite the circumstances they were brought in.”
“Thank you! Yes!” Remi exclaims feeling vindicated.
Trixie holds up a hand. “But! I didn’t have a life because of it. I lost a little bit of what it meant to be me outside of being a mother. Now, like I said I was younger, less established and had an extra couple kids before your age compared to your one. All I’m saying is, you have a means to make a life for yourself still without losing yourself.”
Remi sighs. “The boy is a handful though. I won’t put a man over my son. Even like this past weekend, some guy tried to talk to me up with his kid at the park.”
“Oh?” Mika perks up.
Remi nods, oblivious to Mika’s excitement. “Yeah! Interrupting my time with Xavier so he could try and talk me up. Like he wouldn’t take no for an answer.”
“Wait, wait wait. Ok, first of all, what was the exact situation here. Did he look like one of these dusty van driving niggas using a kid to lure women or something?”
“No, Mika! But he don’t have to, he’s a big ass dude. Like a fucking...oak ass tree ass, thick looking nigga…” Remi says hesitantly. She bites her lip at the thought of his appearance, almost forgetting how handsome he is with the amount of time having passed.
Trixie walks up to her pointing. “Girllll, I see you! He was FINE huh? Light skinned, dark skinned?”
“Dark skinned, yeah. His daughter is just as cute too, like gorgeous and smart. He treats her like a doll.”
“How much time did y’all spend together??” Mika’s voice asks in a high pitched voice, fanning herself.
Remi stamps her foot. “Y’all stahp! It’s literally not like that at all. He tried it though, giving me his number like he just know he gonna see me again.”
Trixie and Mika look at one another one second before falling out in laughter and praise dancing in the middle of the shop. Remi looks at them in wide eyed wonderment before coaxing them to calm down.
“Aye aye! This is a place of business y’all, the hell you doin?”
Trixie stops to catch her breath. “Child this MY place of business, you better turn up! If you don’t call this fine single father who gave you the go ahead to seek him out, I WILL!”
Remi rolls her eyes. “It’s gonna be a waste of time though!”
Mika chimes in. “Let him waste your time! You got your time too organized, you stiff! You need something to break down your walls….oh shit! You see that double entendre!”
Trixie and Mika screech, giving each other a high five.
“Excuse me!” Mae says in Remi’s chair.
Remi turns to her. “Oh oh, I’m sorry! I’ll get you under the dryer right now. Excuse the noise.”
She shakes her head. “No dear, the man who is sweet on you. Why not try to get to know him a little? You’re too beautiful to be single, and you both have children. There’s a lot to relate to one another about.”
Remi smiles sweetly at the old white woman. “Thank you, I appreciate your advice Mae. I’m still thinking about it though.”
“Well that is a start in itself. Pray about it, you’ll know what’s right.” Mae’s saggy cheeks lift a little as she smiles with a closed mouth as Remi escorts her to a chair for drying.
Mika and Trixie finally got off of the subject of Remi’s potential love life and got through the appointments of the day. What little time she had to herself was spent thinking of dinner for Xavier and NOW checking the new contact in her phone and wondering if she should take the plunge dive in some uncharted waters. By the close of business, Remi was zooming over to the daycare to see her little boy; she missed him so much by the end of the work day. She’s thankful he is still small enough for her to hold and snuggle, though he’s growing up so fast.
When Remi arrives to the daycare, Faye walks Xavier out, who runs the rest of the way over to her.
“Hey X! Did you have a good day?” Remi asks, picking him up into a big hug. He smelled like outside and the coconut oil spray she conditions his hair with.
His little arms tightened around her head. “Yeah! I planted gummi worms and made mud!”
“It was pudding.” Faye chuckled. “Xavier was the life of the party today.”
Remi kisses his cheek greedily as she puts him in his booster seat in the back. When she closes the door, Faye grabs Remi’s attention.
“Remi, he was great today. He even helped out with the project, passing out our ‘flower pots’, which were just styrofoam cups. But he really showed a lot of leadership and gentleness today.”
Remi looks back at her little boy in the car with pride. “That’s what he is, gentle and bossy.”
Faye nods. “So great. He even had a lot of conversation for me today. Someone he met taught him about plants before. Some kind of strong trees from Africa?”
Remi searches her mind; she always took Xavier to the library for books of all kinds for him to learn about the world, but she didn’t recall anything from books or TV on that.
“Really? I’ve got to ask him about that, must’ve been on PBS or something when I wasn’t paying attention.” Remi surmises.
“Well it stuck, I love seeing comprehension in children at a young age. He’s got a strong foundation for it in you. Thanks for bringing him by.”
“No problem! I wouldn’t mind a discount on fees since he is such a joy.” Remi says jokingly as she walks to the car.
“If only!” Faye retorts, waving back proudly.
Remi and Xavier drive home, bopping to the radio edits of their favorite hits the whole way back. Xavier’s mood lifted Remi’s so easily; she was dog tired on the way to pick him up after hours of being on her feet, but now she felt like they could party all night. Looking back at his serious jam face mumbling the riff of a Miguel song tickled her, such a performer.
Once they arrived at their home, Remi starts to rundown the menu, heading to the kitchen.
“Ok X-man, we can have some spaghetti, I got turkey meat for sandwiches. Or I could make those fish tacos, you liked those last time.”
“Mama, can I have my birthday today?” Xavier calls from the couch he is standing on.
Remi closes the fridge door to approach her son. “Mk, first, get off the couch. We don’t even do that on birthdays.”
Xavier jumps off standing by his mom. “Please? Can I have my birthday?”
Remi pulls out some bread to make a sandwich. “Sweetie, I don’t have any waffle mix or blueberries.”
Xavier crawls into a chair. “No mama, I want birthday. Not waffles.”
Remi stops prepping the sandwich to look at her son carefully. “Your birthday isn’t for six more months, why do you want to celebrate so early?”
“I want Sunny to come over and play.” Xavier says reaching for a lunch meat slice to chew on.
Remi looks at Xavier with confusion. “Who is Sunny, baby?”
“My friend from the park. Her dad came too, I want to see her for my birthday.” Xavier says through a mouth full of meat.
Remi chuckles to go back to assembling her sandwich. “X, you don’t need a birthday to see Jolasun, we can see her anytime.”
Xavier’s eyes light up. “Can I see her tomorrow??”
Remi groans as she thinks. “Uhhh, probably not….”
“If it’s my birthday tomorrow, can I see her?” Xavier asks.
Remi gives her son a look. “Xavier, what’s this birthday mess you keep talking about? We will see her when I say we can, I’m just not sure yet.”
Xavier’s face falls. “But you say you do cool stuff for my birthday, even if you feel bad.”
Remi purses her mouth and steps away from the sandwich ingredients. She pulls a seat up next to her son giving him her full attention.
“Listen, that’s different. I told you that so you would understand why you have to go to school in the morning. It doesn’t work for other things like seeing friends.”
Xavier’s eyes begin to water as he looks sadly at his turkey slice. “But I want to see Sunny….”
Remi rubs his back. “We will, X! I promise we will, don’t get upset.”
Xavier sniffles. “But you don’t want to…”
“No! No, I do want to see her. She’s a lovely little girl. I’m just nervous about...stuff.” Remi says curtly. Mika and Trixie could barely understand her thoughts on M’Baku, how would a 4 year old.
Xavier looks at her with puppy dog eyes. “I am nervous too Mama. At school and when I saw Sunny, but then I was happy because they were nice. Sunny is too mama!”
Remi pulls her son in for a hug as chokes up a little. His whole world crumbles so easily, she hated to see him get this way. “X, now calm down so Mama can talk to you. It’s ok to have friends and I’m glad you want to see them. I;m so proud of you for being a big boy and not getting nervous. Ms. Faye told me how good you were today.”
“Yeah?”
Remi nods, pulling him back to face her. “Of course! You’re always a smart little gentleman, don’t forget that.” Remi wipes his tears and grabs a napkin to get at his nose. “And I know Sunny thinks you’re great too. So, since she knows how cool you are and wants to see you, why not go see her.”
Xavier’s face lights up again. “For real?? Are we going to the park again?!”
Remi grabs her phone. “Well, I don’t know exactly but I’ll call her Dad and we’ll see, ok?” Remi gives him half the sandwich she made and a cup of juice and chips. “Sit and eat while I talk. Don’t drink all the juice and eat all the chips before you finish the sandwich.”
Remi walks over the the living room, sitting in her easy chair to scroll to his number. Her heart felt like it skipped just at the sight of his name: M’Baku. Such a good name, took little effort once you got past the hard B, then your lips and tongue just fall in line with a whisper into the last two syllables. It’s been days since their first interaction, would he even remember their interaction, her name?
She shakes her head free of toxic thoughts as best she could or she’d never go for it, and hit Call. This is for Xavier and Jolasun after all, this would have little to do with you and M’Baku if she got her way fully. The phone rang and rang in her ear, with each ring she wondered if calling was too much. Maybe she should’ve texted or maybe go to the park like Xavier said and hope to run into-
“Hello?” M’Baku’s deep, elegant voice bound through the phone to her ear, causing a tingle in her brain.
“Oh, uh hey! This is Remi, uh from the park? You came over to help me with my groceries.”
M’Baku does a low chuckle. “Yes, Remi, I haven’t forgotten you at all. But I thought you had forgotten me.”
His tone dropping into a realm of hurt ego, it made him that much more charismatic. “Well Xavier hasn’t forgotten Jolasun.” Remi says, steering the conversation back on track.
“Tell her I said hi!” Xavier yells from his chair with a mouthful of sandwich.
“....and he says hello.” Remi adds.
“Ahh, I heard. Jola is still napping, but I will relay the message.” M’Baku says very relaxed, as if he is settling in comfortably for an intimate conversation.
An awkward pause of silence fills the conversation as Remi plays with her nails waiting for M’Baku to say something, anything to hopefully make her hang up an say that it can’t happen.
“Was...that all you called for?” M’Baku inquires. She could hear the smile in his voice.
“No. Um, Xavier wanted to see Jolasun so I wanted to coordinate with you and see when you’d be free...basically.”
“Ah, so your son persuaded you.”
“...yea.” Remi adds curtly.
“Am I invited as well?”
“I mean you would want to bring her here I thought, so….in a way...yes?”
M’Baku groans demonstratively, muttering a few things under his breath for dramatic effect. “Well, that is good enough for me. Do you feel like having dinner tomorrow night?” M’Baku asks.
“Uh, I mean I want the kids to spend time together, we’re not going-”
“Remember when I offered to show you an exquisite, nutritious meal that meat and plant eaters alike could enjoy?”
Remi smacked her forehead. As hard as she tried to keep this conversation off of flirtation, she maneuvered herself into a ditch of embarrassment. “Right.”
“Then me and Jola will come by, we can cook as they play, and we will all eat together, eh?”
Remi looks over to Xavier. “That sounds nice, but I really don’t want to be stuck with trash and dishes. Sounds like more work then I want to sign up for.”
“I know how to clean and take trash out. I will bring my own pots, I am particular about my cookware anyway.”
“Oh? Are my pots and pans subpar?” Remi quips.
“I don’t know yet. I’ll have to come see for myself.” M’Baku says. Remi could practically hear his wink.
“Oh God, this is ridiculous.” Remi shakes her head, gripping the bridge of her nose.
“What is ridiculous is passing on a chance for a free meal and company since we all get along so well. The kids have their playdate while we have our-”
“Dinner. A good meal and babysitting, sounds lovely.” Remi says.
M’Baku chuckles again. “Yes, a meal in your beautiful home. And I sincerely cannot wait for it.”
Remi felt herself getting warm. The way he said beautiful, it didn’t feel like he meant the house. She fought herself on wanting to hear that word from his mouth in connection to her instead. “I...know Xavier and Jolasun will have a good time.”
Remi hears shuffles on M’Baku’s end. “I will have to let you go now, lady of the house is stirring. See you on tomorrow!”
Remi smiles, saying goodbye before hanging up her phone and looking off into space for a bit. She gets lost in remembering his features, his stance, matching his expressions with the cadence of his voice over the phone and imagining that wide smile excitedly planning a night with her and Xavier.
“Mama! What he say?” Xavier asks through a mouthful of crackers.
“Chew your food! But they will be coming.”
“YAYYY!!” Xavier pops out of his seat and runs over to his mom, climbing her feet roughly to get in her lap.
“Ouch, boy!” Remi picks him up the rest of the way, laughing to herself as they embrace. Xavier looks into his mother’s face, forehead to forehead, nose to nose.
“What do you say?” Remi quizzes her child, her vision blurred as his features become a Picasso from her eyes crossing to look at him from point blank range.
“Thank you mama!” Xavier’s breath smells like every component of his dinner. She loved making her baby boy happy. It’s not always so easy to do.
--
The next night, Remi lays out a couples of pots, pans, and various utensils to prepare for the night with M’Baku and Jolasun. He texted earlier in the day to let her know he would be bringing groceries with him so Remi wouldn’t have to worry about having the right stuff, no matter how much she protested against this. Remi still felt off about tonight, like something wasn’t quite copacetic but she reminded herself this was not a date. More like a summer camp and they were the counselors….not horny ones like the movies always depict, that’d be gross…
It had been so long since Remi let a man interested in her inside of her home, she really was not sure how to act. M’Baku could still be just a nice buddy, with little interest in her especially exclusivity.
Remi groans at the tracks her mind went on. She keeps steering into a romance thing! The kitchen was set, so she changed atmosphere, going upstairs to check her face and make sure she was good to go look-wise.
She tried to keep her outfit cute, but not too elementary school teacher-ish. Enough to show her assets, but conservative enough to wear to church. But not too formal to keep up with the kids and there impending messes, just over the line of looking like she cares. She is at her house for this, but some freshening up is necessary for guests.
She takes out a nude lip to touch up as she calls out to Xavier. “X! Come here so I can see you!”
Xavier’s feet stomp rapidly up the hall to stand outside her bathroom. He has on his favorite CoryxKenshin shirt with a little plaid shirt layered over it and canvas pants with his Keds.
Remi beamed. “You are so handsome!”
He looks down at himself, almost going into a headstand as his braids stood up to gravity. “I do?”
“Yes! Of course, always! Are you excited?”
He nods. “Are we going to sing happy birthday with cake?”
Remi laughs as she fills in her brows. “No baby, remember? We aren’t going to do your birthday. This is a regular day with your friend Jolasun.”
The doorbell rang on cue.
“Sunny!” Xavier exclaims racing away.
“Xavier, don’t open that door! I’ll get it!” Remi’s heart rate picks up as she tries to summon the energy of her co-workers to gage as much of the possibilities tonight has to offer as possible. Checking her phone, looks like they are a but early, she thinks as she heads downstairs again.
Xavier is bouncing by the kitchen, ready for an adventure. His smiling face calms Remi effortlessly as she glides in her confident walk across the floor to the door, putting on a genuine smile as she opens the door.
“Hey, Remi! And little man! Look at y’all!”
Remi’s face drops instantly. “Ron?”

Do you have any OC? Doesn't matter for what. OC's for your own stories? OC's form 7 years ago? Super embarrassing self insert batgirl OC's ? Tell us about them. Unless you have work. then do your work. hugs.
hoo boy this is gonna get long real fast
as many of y’all know, I’m writing a book, so here’s a bit of the main cast:
Princess Robin Rebecca--the protag, a teenager who decides to cure an illness through magical means. The key to curing this illness falls right into her hands via a case of mistaken “chosen one”
TT--the other protag. Originally a boy, considering making a girl. Robin’s love interest and full of family issues
Lark--Robin’s half fairy best friend, who’s ace and literally only cares about dragons
Princess Madelyn Rose--Robin’s other best friend, who happens to be gay for Robin, is kinda the outside help, sometimes just sits around and looks pretty
Cherrie and Taylor--winged twins who were supposed to be the chosen ones, however the spell failed and now Robin thinks the chosen one is her
Bianca--TT’s helpful little sister, training to be a wizard and fully figure out how to do the spell that will make her body match her gender
Queen Gothel--Robin’s abusive mom, obviously the main bad guy
King I-Forget-His-Name--Robin’s dad, kinda passive but means well
and there’s obvs others but i’m not going to go into the whole cast
I also have these OCs who will probably be the stars of a comic, someday, who knows
Crystal Arlington--Bright, sunny, cheerful, big fan of the color pink
Sam Bryce--rarely smiles, blue haired girl, Crystal’s BFF
Blueberry the Psycho--small troll thing, makes up evil plots,
Liz--Blueberry’s human clone, really super nice
Stick---His real name is “Matthew Matthews”, giant crush on Crystal, all around “nice guy”
Erin Arlington--Crystal’s cousin, jealous of Crystal, generally bitter and petty
Crystal’s Evil Older Sister--CEOS, for short. Nobody calls her by her first name, and only I know what it is. Hangs out with Blueberry, texts a lot
Emily Arlington--Crystal and Erin’s cousin. Very smart but has an irrational fear of mermaids
Koral--the mermaid that (accidentally) gave Emily her fear
Dove Lucas---likes music a lot, has purple hair
Raven Lucas---Dove’s twin sister, has greyish white hair, likes sports
Jay Lucas--really tall, Raven and Dove’s older brother, kinda chill
Aiden Quigely--bakes cupcakes but would never tell anyone, has a crush on Aud
Aud Bennet--Her full name is not “Audrey”, it’s something stupid, and she hunts monsters like Blueberry and is completely oblivious to Aiden’s crush
there’s of course, more, but i don’t wanna get into that right now
and of course I have Batman next generation OCs, hold on
Thomas Grayson--Dick and Bab’s son, becomes Batman
Jamie Grayson--Thomas’s sister, becomes Spoiler
Penny Wayne--the heir to Wayne Enterprises, Damian’s child (but more like a clone--Talia decided she needed grandkids, and Damian wasn’t getting onto that fast enough, so she decided to “help him along”), becomes Nightwing
Marty Drake-Kent--adopted spawn of Timkon, decided crime fighting wasn’t his thing, became Oracle
I-forget-her-name-and-I-can’t-look-it-up-rn Thomas --Duke and Claire’s child, becomes Batgirl
Miranda Cain Row---Harper and Cass’s adopted daughter, becomes Black Bat
Sam Harper-Todd--Biological child of Kori and Jason, actual child of Joyfire, becomes the cutest Robin ever (though none of his parents really wanted him to)
and that’s all, I think, omg
check the “my book” (i think) tag for some art and more descriptions of the people from my book, check the “sam and crystal” for some of them, and there’s some pictures under “next gen batfam” but i need to update that tag because it’s before i recently revamped this
ask me stuff!
