Chapter Text

Did not birth me:

You had better explain yourself

Young man!

 

My literal child:

Oh boy

Who snitched

It was Kon wasn’t it

 

Did not birth me:

Of course it was!

This is why he’s my favorite

Tell Tim he’s dead to me btw

 

My literal child:

Everything is ok Walls I swear

And I WAS gonna tell you

In a few days

Once I’d taken care of stuff

 

Did not birth me:

We had a deal

You had to tell me everything

Going on with your Evil clone

 

My literal child:

I seem to remember the deal

Being I had to tell you

When something was a danger to me

Thad can’t be a danger when

He’s literally dying

Or was

I think he’s stable now

I hope so at least

Had to jump start his healing factor

Was not easy

 

Did not birth me:

Just tell me what happened

 

My literal child:

Long story short

Apparently Thad has been doing some

Soul searching since our last fight

Tried to defect

President Grandpa and Zoom

Did not like that

He got to me to desperately

Ask for help

But they found him before

He could explain

He saw them first

Aiming some new weapon at me

Acted on instinct

And managed to get hit instead

 

Did not birth me:

He

He saved your life?

 

My literal child:

Yup

You see why I couldn’t just let him die

I had to bring him to safety

And try to save him in turn

 

Did not birth me:

I do see, yes

Man this is a mess

 

My literal child:

Truly

Oh btw, since Kon wanna be a snitch

I’m sending him to you

With the weapon

You and Gramps can look into it

 

Did not birth me:

Yeah, if it’s something that can kill us

Easily we’d better understand it fast

Good thinking

 

My literal child:

You’ll tell me what you find out later

Right now I have to take care of Thad

 

 

Did not birth me:

Be careful

I know you want to believe he can change

But we need to tread with caution

 

My literal child:

Right now he’s unconscious

And he’s probably not going to

Regain strength for a few days

He’s really not healing fast

 

 

Did not birth me:

But he will make it right?

 

My literal child:

I think so?

I don’t know…

He does have a fever

Didn’t think that was possible for us

 

Did not birth me:

Damn…

I’m sorry Bartie, you must be stressed out

 

My literal child:

Yeah…

I just hope he didn’t finally

Come to the realization

He didn’t have to be my enemy

Just in time to die

That would be so cruel

Did not birth me:

Yeah…

I’m starting to think

 I should’ve tried harder with the boy

You were right

He didn’t have anyone

And I did nothing to change that

 

My literal child:

You couldn’t have done anything

He didn’t want our help

Neither mine nor yours

But if he does now

Maybe things can change

 

Did not birth me:

Maybe

But remember

 

My literal child:

Tread with caution

I know

 

Did not birth me:

I’ll come by later today

After talking with Barry

About the weapon

 

My literal child:

Alright, see you later

Group Chat (Powerpuff Girls)

Buttercup:

Just gave the weapon to Wally

Can I come home now

 Or are you still mad Bartie

 

 

Bubbles:

Why don’t you come and

Find out? :)

 

Blossom:

He said and I quote

“I’m gonna make him wish

I had kryptonite”

 

 

Buttercup:

That bad huh

Damn it you must look so hot

Right now

 

Blossom:

Lmao almost forgot

About your anger kink

 

Bubbles:

See if I even so much as brush

You this week you traitor

 

Buttercup:

I’m sorry baby

I just panicked

Plus you did tell me I had to deal

With your evil clone if he ever appeared

 

 

Bubbles:

He was DYING

He wasn’t in any capacity to hurt me

 

Buttercup:

Never said I acted rationally

But to be fair

At first I was just thinking

Of smothering him with

A pillow

Calling Wally was me being reasonable

 

 

Blossom:

Your Luthor is showing

 

Bubbles:

You do realize he saved my life right?

 

 

Buttercup:

I mean now I know that

But also since he tried to kill you like

5 times

That I know of

 

 

Bubbles:

13 actually, but who’s counting

 

Blossom:        

Damn he’s dedicated

Jay gave up after the third time

 

Buttercup:

If at first you don’t succeed

 

Bubbles:

The point is

If he wanted to kill me now

He could have just let me get hit

Also before you say anything

No I don’t think he’s tricking me

And no I’m not being naïve

He came to me because he had

Nowhere else to go

I could see it

You can’t fake desperation like this

That well

 

Blossom:

We trust your judgement

Don’t we Conner?

 

Buttercup:

Yes of course

Doesn’t mean I like him

 

Bubbles:

You said that about Jason

And look at you now

 

Buttercup:

I still don’t like him

 

 

Blossom:

You’re literally besties

You drink beer with him

Alcohol doesn’t even have an effect on you

 

Buttercup:

Who says I’m not only doing that

for your sake

Or for Jaime’s

 

 

Bubbles:

I mean the picture of the two of you

Laughing together In the living room

Next to all the Bruce hugging his

Sons pictures is a pretty good indication

 

Buttercup:

Still can’t believe you framed

That one

 

 

 

Blossom:

It’s a cute picture

Plus there’s also one of

Bartie with Cole at the fair

With cotton candy

And me, Jonnie and Dami playing

Video games

It’s only fair

 

Bubbles:

It’s ok to have a favorite brother in law

 

Buttercup:

Mine is definitely not Jason

Or Damian

 

 

Blossom:

Is it Dick then?

 

 

Buttercup:

No he’s annoying

 

 

 

Bubbles:

That only leaves Thad

 

Buttercup:

Fine maybe Jason is my favorite

 

Blossom:

Got the screenshot

 

 

 

Buttercup:

Please don’t send it to him

 

Blossom:

Too late

 

Bubbles:

Hah! Serves you right!

Buttercup:

My life is suffering

 

 

Bubbles:

Deserved

You can come back btw

Just be nice

Thad is still unconscious rn

But I think he might wake up

Any time soon

And he’s probably going to be in

Great pain

The fever only started to drop

But he’s still pale and sweaty

 

 

Blossom:

Not to mention

He randomly starts screaming

Every ten minutes

 

Buttercup:

What the hell was that weapon

 

 

Bubbles:

Something terrible…

And I’m pretty sure he knew

What the effects would be

 

Blossom:

So he willingly  and knowingly

inflicted himself this

Agonizing possible death

To save you?

 

Bubbles:

Seems like it…

 

 

 

Buttercup:

Yeah I don’t think even he would

Risk that just to trick you

 

 

Bubbles:

Told you

I just want to understand

Why now?

What happened?

What made him change his mind?

 

 

Blossom:        

He hadn’t tried anything in a few years

Maybe he took time to reflect

Who knows what he went

Through in the meantime

 

Buttercup:

I guess we can ask him

Once he wakes up

What are we going to do with him anyway?

 

Bubbles:

I don’t know…

He’s clearly in danger alone

 

Buttercup:

You want him to stay

Here a while don’t you

 

Bubbles:

We don’t have to…

I know it’s a lot to ask

I can find him some place to stay

 

 

Blossom:

But you don’t want to

You want to take care of him

Because you feel guilty

That when you got here

You got a chance and he didn’t

 

Buttercup:

It’s not your fault love

 

Bubbles:

Doesn’t mean it’s fair

 

Blossom:

Yeah, it isn’t

We’ll keep him here if it makes you feel better

 

Buttercup:

Agreed

 

 

Bubbles:

Are you sure?

 

Buttercup:

We want you happy

If having the little shit here for a while

Helps soothe you then of course

Plus we can keep an eye

On him that way

Make sure that change of heart sticks

But if he tries anything

 

 

Bubbles:

You’ll deck him straight in the face

I know

My big buff strong protective boyfriend

 

Blossom:

Oh we flirting now?

 

Buttercup:

Apparently so

I’m not complaining

 

 

Blossom:

I feel excluded

 

Bubbles:

You’re not,

My smart ruthless charming sexy boyfriend

 

Blossom:

Now I feel better

 

 

 

Buttercup:

He really does have us in

The palm of his hand huh

 

Bubbles:

Not my fault praising you guys

Makes you docile

And eager to please

 

Blossom:

Guilty

 

 

Buttercup:

Doesn’t work on you though

The only thing that happens

When we praise you

Is that you get embarrassed

 

 

Bubbles:

I always did say I can’t take

Compliments from cute boys

I got better though

I almost never blush anymore

When you call me pretty

 

 

Blossom:

Almost

 

Buttercup:

We don’t want shy Bartie

To completely disappear anyway

 

 

 

Bubbles:

I’ll keep that in mind

Now hurry up and get home

I’m hungry and

Timmy managed to burn the frozen pizza

 

Blossom:

It’s the oven’s fault I swear

 

 

Buttercup:

I’ll come cook for you babes

Don’t worry

Notes:

Oooooh so much drama already! our favorite trio are in a predicament? what could Thad's motives be? tune in to find out!

Next Chapter: An Apology is in order, and some answers would be great too.

Chapter 3: Let's Start With An Apology

Summary:

Thad comes clean and makes amends.

Notes:

Hi!
so, this story is a bit harder to write than the previous one. it's ok since I'm very much ahead having written 19 chapters in total at the time of writing this note. but just so I don't run out of chapters, I'll try and slow my updates a bit. I don't know how many chapters there will be to this one, I'd say at least 45 like the last one, but it's possible I will add an act 4 depending on if I got all the plot points I wanted in or not. right now I'm far from being able to say I'm halfway done.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter! x

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Fast And Furious:

What are you and your

Little friends up to?

 

Spare Parts:

Oh hey Thad

What do you mean?

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

They won’t let me leave

 

Spare Parts:

Dude, you’re not even

Properly healed yet

Of course you can’t leave

 

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

What’s it to you anyway?

 

Spare Parts:

You came to me for help didn’t you

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

In a rare moment of weakness

Don’t know what I was thinking

It doesn’t matter now

 

 

 

Spare Parts:

It does to me

You needed help and you came to me

So now I get to help you

 

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

And your friends are ok with it?

I thought they wanted me dead

 

 

Spare Parts:

I’m not sure they don’t anymore

Especially Kon

But they know it matters to me

And they support me

 

 

Fast And Furious:

What’s your plan then

Keeping me locked up here forever?

 

Spare Parts:

No, my plan is to have you heal

Then you can tell me more about

What made you change your mind

After all these years

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Who says I have?

Spare Parts:

The fact you saved my life

By nearly sacrificing yours

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Again, don’t know what I was thinking

 

Spare Parts:

Can we not do this?

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Do what

 

Spare Parts:

This dance

The whole thing where

You pretend not to care when you do

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Why would I care

I’ve always hated you

 

Spare Parts:

You didn’t say you hated me now

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Didn't I?

 

Spare Parts:

God you’re exhausting

Listen Thaddeus

I don’t know what’s

Been going on with you

But it’s clear something changed

And you reevaluated.

Can we get this over with

And get to what happened?

 

 

Fast And Furious:

… I won

That’s what happened

 

Spare Parts:

What do you mean?

 

 

Fast And Furious:

I… made a deal

With some powerful entity

I had them rewrite time for me

I had them help me win

I killed you

 

Spare Parts:

…well damn

Congrats I guess?

Doesn’t explain how we got

Here.

 

 

Fast And Furious:

You were dead

And I thought

I thought it would fix everything

I thought I would feel good

Once you were gone

But I just felt empty

Like nothing even

 mattered anymore

And worst of all

I missed you

 

Spare Parts:

Oh…

 

 

Fast And Furious:

I realized that

In all my life

You were the only person

That had ever mattered

That hatred I had for you

That was the only emotion

I had

And without it I was nothing

Without you I was nothing

I was being tracked by the whole world for what I did to you

And honestly I deserved it

All I wanted was to undo what I had done

I wanted to get you back

 

Spare Parts:

And you did

How

 

 

Fast And Furious:

I tore through time and space

Made a whole mess

I probably spent hundreds of years

Stuck in the speed force

Trying to find a way to undo what I did

And I finally managed it

 

Spare Parts:

Lord almighty…

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah

After that I thought

Everything could go back to normal

I could keep on ruining

Your life occasionally

But I would never cross the line again

I would never kill you again

But…

Even just messing with you didn’t seem worth it anymore

I didn’t feel like fighting you anymore

As you can see Grandpa and Zoom weren’t pleased

About my change of heart

And with what I’ve done to the timeline

I’m pretty much fried on the power front

So I can’t really escape them easily

I can barely run

at the speed of sound

These days

 

Spare Parts:

I see…

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

I’m sorry, Bart.

It probably doesn’t mean

A lot now

But I am.

I never got it until now

But you were never my enemy

I was

I was the only thing

Preventing me from being

What I wanted to be

I still am

 

Spare Parts:

I

I can’t tell you what you did

Was ok

But technically it hasn’t

Happened to me and never

Will

So I forgive you

You’ve repented well enough

And now you need healing

And I’m not only talking

Physically

I’d like to help

 

 

Fast And Furious:

After all I’ve told you?

You still think I deserve your help?

 

Spare Parts:

Maybe you don’t

But it doesn’t really matter

Because I’ve decided to give

It to you anyway

I’d like you to stay here

While you recover

Then we can talk about

Finding you a place to stay

Not far from here

 

Fast And Furious:

I don’t really have a choice

I have nowhere else to go

 

 

 

Spare Parts:

Yeah, I figured

You’re gonna need

a lot of therapy

That’s non negotiable

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Seriously?

 

Spare Parts:

Yes seriously

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Ugh fine I guess

 

Spare Parts:

Also at some point you’re

Gonna have to talk to the fam

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

They’re your family not mine

I’m just a clone

 

Spare Parts:

You're my brother

It doesn’t matter

How you got created

Besides, you’re not

The first clone we’ve dealt with

My boyfriend is a clone

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Boyfriend?

Spare Parts:

Yeah. Kon

Superboy

 

 

Fast And Furious:

You're

You’re dating the Kryptonian?

You’re dating a man?

 

Spare Parts:

Actually I’m dating two men

I’m also dating Tim

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

….

I see

I guess it explains  why you’re

 living together

But I never thought you’d um

 

Spare Parts:

That I’d like men?

 

 

Fast And Furious:

…something like that

 

Spare Parts:

Does it bother you?

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Not at all

It’s just

 

Spare Parts:

Yes?

 

 

Fast And Furious:

…. Grandpa never really was one to

Take kindly to that type of…

Deviance

Sorry for the term but that’s what he used

 

Spare Parts:

I see

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah…

He used to tell me

Well

He used to say I must be a defective clone

Because I

 

Spare Parts:

Take your time

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Sorry

I just

Maybe I’ve had…

Thoughts

About other men

In the past

 

Spare Parts:

That's perfectly fine Thad

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

You think so?

 

 

Spare Parts:

I know so

The last thing my gay ass can do

Is judge you on that.

Never apologize for living your truth

I mean unless your truth includes hurting and

Killing people

Then maybe you should reevaluate your truth

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Fair enough

I guess for a long time

I’ve been…

Afraid, of my inclinations

I thought it was just

 a side effect of me being broken

But you’re pretty sane

And whole

And you seem happy

 

Spare Parts:

I am

I’m happy, and I have a good life

And that’s what I want for you

What I’ve always wanted

You have a long way to go

But I’ll be next to you for every step

 

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

I… have a lot to think about

But

Thank you, Bart

I will try to be better

Maybe one day, we can repair things

 

 

Spare Parts:

I’m sure we will

I’ll be back in an hour or two

In the meantime, if you need

Anything, just ask Tim

I’d say ask Kon but he’s incapable of being neutral

And tactful.

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah he’s been threatening me with

A slow agonizing death since I woke up

 

Spare Parts:

He’ll come around

He has with Jason

 

Fast And Furious:

Who’s Jason

 

 

Spare Parts:

Oh, just Timmy’s ex Evil Brother

We all have one of those

But you’re probably the worst of the three

Congrats btw

 

 

 

Fast And Furious:

I’ll take that as a compliment

I think I’m going to take another nap

 

Spare Parts:

You do that

See you when I get back

Notes:

Oh Thad you sad, slightly deranged little guy... I have so much to say but it would take years so I'll just say he needs a hug.

Next Chapter: Cole becomes a cat dad

Chapter 4: Candle

Summary:

Cole has an emergency.

Notes:

Hi!
So, here's today's chapter! this one is fun, after all the Thad angst last chapter, it's just cuteness and good vibes!

Hope You Enjoy! x

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Cole:

Conner, you need to come

To my apartment as soon as possible.

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

Oh God what’s happening

Are you hurt?

Was it Luthor?

Is it Kryptonite?

Are you dying?

Cole:

No?

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

You sound hesitant

Why do you sound hesitant

Tell me who hurt you Colie

I’ll kill them

Cole:

I'm not hesitant.

I am perfectly fine.

Sorry for worrying you.

How soon can you come?

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

I can be there in less than ten

Minutes if it’s an emergency

Is it an emergency?

Cole:

Yes.

You need to meet Candle.

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

…ok who the fuck is Candle

 

Cole:

My kitten

I just adopted her

Jon and Damian helped choose her

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

….

So

You made me panic

And think you were in danger

Because of a kitten

 

Cole:

she's really important to me.

she is so tiny and adorable.

You need to meet her.

I think it constitutes an emergency.

 

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother) :

I mean…

Fair enough

Alright I’ll drop by

But I can’t stay too long

 

Cole:

Why not?

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother) :

I have to keep an eye on

Bartie's evil twin

Make sure he doesn’t try anything

 

Cole:

Bart has an evil twin?

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

Clone actually

But same difference

 

Cole:

There are a lot of clones.

Someone should probably do something

About that.

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

Yeah probably

Anyway this one is on another level

He’s been hell-bent on destroying

Bart since birth

And now apparently he’s turned over

A new leaf and we have to give him

The benefit of the doubt

I’m not thrilled about that.

 

Cole:

Maybe he really did change.

I did.

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

This is a completely different

Situation.

You were being mind controlled

You didn’t have any agency for years

You didn't plan cold-blooded

Assassination attempts every 6 months

 

Cole:

Maybe so.

But maybe you should

Talk to him like Bart talked to me

Try and understand his motives.

 

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

He’s a psychotic

Little shit how’s that

For motives

Cole:

Conner.

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

Yeah yeah I know

I will make an effort

Don’t have a choice anyway

The bastard is crashing at our

Place until further notice

Cole:

I see

I’m sure everything will

Be fine eventually

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

I hope you’re right

Anyway I’ll come and see

My new niece now

Why Candle btw?

Cole:

Cause they make fire also

Jon voted for Sunny

But I didn’t think it suited her

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

Candle is great

 

Cole:

When you get there

You can help me choose what color

I dye my hair.

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

I’m sorry what

Cole:

I wanted a change

Plus that way I won’t get mistaken

For you anymore

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

Does that bother you?

Cole:

Maybe a little.

I like being your twin.

But now that I’ve started

Actually understanding

Who I was

I want to be seen as me

And no one else.

I hope it’s ok.

 

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

Of course it is Colie

It’s perfectly understandable

Also I’m really proud of you

Haven’t said it in a while

But I am

Cole:

Thanks Kon.

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

OH MY GOD

YOU CALLED ME KON

Cole:

Should I not have?

 

Conner Kent (Brother):

YES YOU TOTALLY SHOULD HAVE

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

LIL BRO

Cole:

I’m still older than you Kon

 

Kon (Brother):

Just cause you called me Kon

I’ll let it slide for once

Aight Colie see you in a minute

Cole:

See you

Group Chat (Powerpuff Girls)

 

Buttercup:

We’re getting a pet

 

 

 

Bubbles:

Oh we are?

 

Blossom:

Damn so authoritative

Whatever you say Daddy

 

 

Buttercup:

Don’t start Timothy

Also yes, we are getting one

You get to decide what kind

 

 

 

Blossom:

I take it Candle is cute then

 

Bubbles:

Who’s Candle?

 

Buttercup:

She’s so precious

I want to steal her

But Cole would murder me

For real this time

And I wouldn’t blame him

 

 

 

Bubbles:

Again, I have no idea

what we’re talking about

 

Buttercup:

Cole adopted a kitten

I'm guessing Damian spammed

The Robin GC with pictures

 

 

 

Blossom:

You bet he did

This kid and pets I swear

 

Bubbles:

I feel left out

I need more brothers

Then I’ll make a GC with them

Thad isn’t enough

I’m gonna clone him

 

 

Buttercup:

Please don’t

One is enough

What’s he doing btw

Is he behaving?

 

 

 

Bubbles:

He’s playing chess with Tim

And winning

Timmy’s pouting

 

Blossom:        

He’s cheating I’m sure

 

 

 

Buttercup:

Poor Timmy

He really isn’t doing anything

Suspicious then

 

 

Bubbles:

I’m telling you, there is no

Ulterior motives

He is still a huge brat

And I’m not sure he doesn’t

Still have murder tendencies

But he’s trying

 

 

Blossom:

Bartie’s right

He’s an asshole

But considering Jason’s

My brother I can’t judge him

On that

Even though every time he smirks

At me when I move a piece I feel

Like  I’m about to die

 

Buttercup:

Ugh

I guess I’m gonna have to accept

That I won’t be able to punch him

Anytime soon

Why can’t I ever punch

The brothers that actively tried to kill you

 

 

 

Bubbles:

You can punch my Grandpa if you’d like

 

 

 

Buttercup:

Yeah I guess

Right now I don’t feel like punching anyway

Too busy giving my new niece scratches

 

 

Blossom:

You big softie

 

Bubbles:

For the record I do want a pet also

Or two

Or 10

 

 

Buttercup:

As many as you want my love

 

 

Blossom:

Yeaaah how about we start

With one?

 

Bubbles:

Killjoy

I say we get puppies

 

Buttercup:

Yeah puppies!

 

 

 

Blossom:

We’ll get A PUPPY

 

 

Buttercup:

But what if they’re a bonded pair

What will we do then?

We can’t separate them

 

 

 

 

Bubbles:

Kon’s right you know

 

 

Blossom:

Ok maybe two puppies

But that’s it alright?

 

 

 

 

Buttercup:

Then again there’s three of us

What’s gonna happen

When two of us get to cuddle

The pups and the third one is left alone?

 

 

Bubbles:

It’s important to consider

 

Blossom:

Why are you like this

 

Buttercup:

Hey, it’s not like we lack the space

Especially since we moved last month

 

 

 

Bubbles:

It’s true

Thanks Kon’s back child support

 

 

Blossom:

I can’t believe you didn't let me

Get us a nicer place for years

And just cause Kon gets

A butt load of money he gets to

Buy a freaking villa

 

Buttercup:

You’re the one who calls me Daddy

I had to live up to the title

 

 

Bubbles:

If you want you can be my Daddy Timmy

 

Blossom:

Boy don’t play with me right now

I’m trying to win this match

 

Bubbles:

I'm just saying if you want to buy me

Nice stuff and call me baby girl you can

 

 

 

Buttercup:

Evil Bart is back

And he’s damn sexy

 

 

 

Bubbles:

:D

 

Blossom:        

If I lose there will be consequences

 

 

 

Buttercup:

Just say you’ll let him have

As many puppies as he likes

And he’ll leave you alone

 

 

Bubbles:

Yeah like he said

 

 

Blossom:

Both of you are demons

Sent on Earth to tempt me

Fine get as many damned puppies as you want

Now stop looking at me like that Bart

I can’t get hard in front of your brother

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buttercup:

Also don’t get freaky when

 I’m not here to witness it

 

Bubbles:

As if you don’t jump Tim

Twice a week while I’m gone

At least

 

Blossom:

He’s got a point

But then again he does the same

To you when I’m gone

 

Buttercup:

I never hear either of you complaining

I’m just making sure you’re always satisfied

 

 

Bubbles:

We thank you for your service

Now go find me my puppies instead

Of being a horndog

 

Buttercup:

On it baby

Have fun torturing Tim

 

 

Bubbles:

Thanks I will

 

 

Blossom:

I want a divorce

Notes:

blblbl COLE MY BABY YOURE SO CUTE! I love his texting style cause it makes everything so serious, like he INTENSELY loves his kitten to the moon and back I can't with him . Also he casually gives Kon heart attacks veofvobrebvevboe

Chapter Text

Bichito:           

Jason

What did I say about

messing with my phone

 

 

Future Hubby:

I don’t know what you mean

 

 

Bichito:           

Oh yeah?

Riddle me this then

Why are you now called

“future hubby” in my phone?

 

Future Hubby:

Cause it’s true

 

 

Bichito:           

If that’s your way of proposing

 

 

Future Hubby:

Are you kidding?

Brucie would have my head

If I didn’t give you a proper proposal

You know he loves you more than

He loves me

 

 

Bichito:           

Fair enough

In any case

Stop messing with my phone

You don’t see me

Messing with yours

 

Future Hubby:

Sounds like a you problem

Plus I bet you smiled

 

 

Bichito:           

Shut up

Now go away

I’m working

 

 

Future Hubby:

First of all you’re the one

Who texted

Second, I miss

When you were on

Indefinite leave

Ever since you started

Superheroeing again

I barely get to see you

 

 

Bichito:           

Should’ve thought about that

before you hid the Reach’s return

From me

 

 

Future Hubby:

I’m still sorry about that

 

 

 

Bichito:           

I know Tesoro

I’m not mad anymore

I mean almost

 

 

Future Hubby:

You do know how to hold a grudge

 

 

Bichito:           

Look who’s talking

 

 

Future Hubby:

Touché

I do miss you though

 

Bichito:           

I know

I miss you too

But we’re getting close

Also Tim threatened

To bench me if I didn’t take

A break this week-end

 

Future Hubby:

Timmy’s a real bro

This is why he’s my favorite

 

Bichito:           

Of course

So you’re getting

Me all to yourself all

Week-end

 

Future Hubby:

For real?

 

 

 

Bichito:           

Yes my love

For real

 

 

Future Hubby:

In that case

Let’s get out of town

Let’s steal one of Brucie’s cars

And go on a road trip

 

 

Bichito:           

You know we could just

Ask him for the car

 

 

Future Hubby:

Where’s the fun in that?

 

 

 

Bichito:           

I guess that’s fair

We’ll do whatever you

Want baby

 

 

Future Hubby:

You're so sweet today

For zero reason

Am I dying?

 

 

Bichito:           

I sure hope not

And can’t I be nice to you

Without a reason?

 

Future Hubby:

I mean technically you can yes

But usually you

Like to pretend I’m annoying

 

 

 

Bichito:           

I never pretend

You are annoying

But I love how annoying you are

I love you

 

 

Future Hubby:

Aww babe

I love you too

We haven’t said it in a while

Have we?

 

Bichito:           

You noticed too then

We really should say it

More often

Especially with the way

Our lives are

 

 

Future Hubby:

Agreed

But we’re ok right?

 

 

Bichito:           

Yeah of course we are

Were you doubting that?

 

 

Future Hubby:

I don’t know

I guess a little

It’s nothing you’ve done even

I mean sure we have been

Having a hard time spending

Time together these days

But it’s not the first time

I guess it’s because

In the beginning of our relationship

I was the one always gone

And you were the one waiting

At home for me to come by

I never realized how difficult

It must have been

To wait for me and not even know

 if I would come back

 

Bichito:           

It wasn’t a walk in the park

That’s for sure

But I coped pretty well

Besides you were good

At keeping me in the loop

Until the Reach that is

 

 

Future Hubby:

Yeah…

But now that the roles

Are reversed more often

Than not

I guess I realize

That I’m not good

At being a stay at home boyfriend

When I’m not out on patrol or mission

I just spend my days worrying

About your safety most times

But sometimes I just get

Insecure about a lot of stuff

And I always manage to

Convince myself

You’re about to break up

With me

I don’t know what’s wrong with me

 

 

Bichito:           

It’s called anxiety Tesoro

But let me make one thing clear

I do not want to break up with you

I don’t take our relationship lightly

It’s been more than two years now

And we went through so much

We’ve crushed every obstacles

In our path

And I could not love you more

I mean I could try but I would probably

Explode

I’m happy. I'm content

And more importantly I’m safe with you

So you have nothing to fear

I'm never leaving you

 

 

Future Hubby:

Even if that bastard

From your show asks you to?

 

 

Bichito:           

Baby that’s a fictional character

Plus don’t pretend you don’t know

Buck’s name

You’ve watched every episode

Of 911 with me

 

Future Hubby:

He’s not even that hot

Just cause he’s a firefighter

I could be a firefighter

 

 

Bichito:           

Maybe if you didn't

Like starting fires

more than stopping them

 

 

Future Hubby:

Fine

I could dress as a firefighter then

 

 

Bichito:           

Jason

I swear to God

Don’t do this to me right now

 

 

Future Hubby:

Do what exactly?

 

 

Bichito:           

You know exactly what!

I’m with the team!

Your brother will NEVER let

Me live it down if he realizes!

 

Future Hubby:

So it really IS the uniform then

 

 

Bichito:           

No it's not the Uniform

It’s YOU in the uniform

Fuck you for making me

Imagine it right now

 

 

Future Hubby:

I mean you can if you want

 

 

Bichito:           

STOP

 

Future Hubby:

Here's the deal

I might have been thinking

About that particular

Scenario for a while

It’s entirely possible

That I already have

A very realistic Firefighter

Uniform on hand

It’s even more likely

That I might be wearing it

As we speak

So the question is

Wanna rip it off of me?

 

 

Bichito:           

 

 

Future Hubby:

It’s a simple yes or no

Question

 

 

 

Bichito:           

Why are you doing this

To me

 

Future Hubby:

You mean fulfilling

Your fantasies?

I’m just being a good

Boyfriend is all

 

Bichito:           

Jason

 

 

Future Hubby:

Just say the word baby

You know you want to

 

Bichito:           

You get to explain

Why to Timmy

 

Future Hubby:

Of course love

 

 

Bichito:           

And you better

Not be lying about that uniform

 

 

Future Hubby:

Come and find out

 

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

 

 

 

Hobbit:           

Explain yourself asshole

 

 

Asshole:

What did Jaime tell you

 

Hobbit:           

Just that he had a fire to put

Out

Also that you were gonna

 kill him one day

What did you do to my Blue

 

 

Asshole:

Not yours

 

Hobbit:           

I knew him first

 

 

 

Asshole:

Only cause I was DEAD

Besides you have enough

Boyfriends as it is

This one is all mine

 

Hobbit:           

Anyone ever told you

You were a possessive son of

A bitch?

 

 

Asshole:

Couldn’t care less

Fyi Jaime’s taking the day off

 

Hobbit:           

Again, why

 

 

Asshole:

Hey, remember when I caught you

And Bart in the Batmobile?

 

Hobbit:           

 

 

Asshole:

Exactly

Now you shut your mouth

And go back to work

 

Hobbit:           

Well played

Don’t get me wrong

I’m going to get revenge

But well played

 

 

 

Asshole:

‘Til we meet again Tiny

 

Notes:

bauisba JASON FFS
HES SO CHAOTIC POOR JAIME STOOD NO CHANCE! no really that's a man on a mission, nothing was gonna stand in his way. plus the way he just neutralized Timmy like that ubzbzedzeb iconic

Next Chapter: Damian would like his brothers to stop being dumb and reckless please

Chapter 6: My Brother's Keeper

Summary:

Damian is not happy about Bartimkon's new roommate.

Notes:

Hi! Good news! I managed to write until chapter 30 yesterday! haven't written anything today though, but anyway! I think I can safely say this story will have at least 60 chapters, because I can't finish all I want to do in just one more act, so that's that!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one! x

Chapter Text

Dami <3:

Why are our brothers like this

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

What is it this time

And which brothers

We got so many of those

It’s getting confusing

 

Dami <3:

Drake and Conner

And Bartholomew by proxy

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Ah.

What’s wrong

 

Dami <3:

Did you know they let Bartholomew’s

Evil clone crash at their place?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Oh yeah I heard about that

Kon wasn’t pleased at first

 

Dami <3:

Can’t believe I’m saying this

But I agree with him

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Dami chill

They got things under control

 

Dami <3:

No they don’t

Any moment now

We’re about to learn they were all

murdered in their sleep

 

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

You’re so cute when you worry

 

Dami <3:

I do not worry

I just think they’re dumb

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Sure

 

Dami <3:

How can they even trust him?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Maybe they know something we don’t

Why don’t you ask them instead

Of picturing

All the gruesome ways in which

They’re going to get slaughtered?

 

Dami <3:

I just finished remembering

How many ways there are to behead someone

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Yeah that’s not healthy babe

Look it’s normal that you’re worried

I am a little bit too

And so is everyone tbh

But it’s what we do don’t we

We give second chances

We try out redemption

It doesn’t work everytime

But there’s been a pretty good track record

Wouldn’t you think?

I mean, Jason, Cole

 

Dami <3:

Both of them had extenuated circumstances

Todd died and was resurrected by the

Lazarus Pit giving him Bloodlust

Cole is an innocent bean that didn’t deserve

What happened to him

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Both of them tried to kill our other

Brother at some point

 

Dami <3:

To be fair to Todd

Drake deserves it sometimes

I mean I tried that too

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

My point exactly

 

Dami <3:

Alright so maybe there is a pattern

I still don’t trust the guy

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

And nobody says you have to

You can’t trust someone you don’t know

Try and get to know him maybe

Then decide if we kill him or not

 

Dami <3:

We?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

I’m not letting you commit homicide

On your own

Also I have a brother involved just as much as you

If that Thaddeus chap does anything to hurt him

Or Bartie and Timmy

I’ll punch a hole in his chest

Dami <3:

Is it bad that I think it’s hot

When you get violent?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

I won’t tell if you don’t

Anyway let’s keep an eye on things

Visit them more often

And make sure we’re not the only ones

On high alert

 

 

Dami <3:

Yeah

I know Grayson and West

Are looking out for any

Potential dangers as well

At least there’s that

I just wish for once my brothers stopped being dumb

And putting themselves

In potentially dangerous situations

I can’t keep baby sitting them

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

You’re adorable

 

Dami <3:

Stop

 

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

You are though!

 

Dami <3:

Yeah but you can’t say that

If anyone learned my reputation

Would be ruined

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Baby everyone already knows

Sorry to inform you

 

Dami <3:

Let me live in denial

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

As you wish

Hey wanna go out this afternoon?

 

Dami <3:

Yeah sure

What do you want to do?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Take Titus and Krypto to the park and make out?

 

Dami <3:

Oh so the usual

I’m down

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

You always are

See you soon <3

 

Dami <3:

<3

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

Murder Baby:

I’m coming by tomorrow

To vet your new roommate

I’m bringing Jon also

 

Future Murder Victim:

Um

Ok?

Why

Murder Baby:

Because you’re an idiot who’s gonna get yourself

Killed one day

And no one gets to kill you but me

 

Future Murder Victim:

I mean you’ll have to talk to Jay about that

But fair enough

 

Murder Baby:

Todd had his chance and squandered it

Now he’s too soft

I get to be the Cain to your Abel

 

Future Murder Victim:

You’re so cute

 

Murder Baby:

Why does everyone keep saying that

 

Future Murder Victim:

Cause you are

Stop worrying btw you doofus

 

Murder Baby:

I’m not worried!

 

Future Murder Victim:

You are

But I can take care of myself

And so can Bartie and Kon

Besides Thad is very not in condition

To be a threat to any of us

He can barely run

And when he has the energy he doesn’t event reach

Past the speed of sound

 

Murder Baby:

Hm

Noted

 

Future Murder Victim:

You can still come and check for youself

And threaten him a little

It’s your right as my favorite brother

 

Murder Baby:

Don’t joke

We all know Grayson’s your favorite

 

Future Murder Victim:

Today it’s you

Just embrace it

 

Murder Baby:

Shut up

If you’re ever in danger

You’ll tell me right?

 

Future Murder Victim:

I’m fine Dami I told you

 

 

Murder Baby:

Just promise me

If you ever need help

Don’t dismiss me because I’m younger

Cause first of all I’m 17 now

And second

You’re my brother

And I love you

And I’ll be damned if I ever

Let anything happen to you

If anyone tries to mess with you

I will show them why

I used to be called the Demon

 

Future Murder Victim:

I love you too Babybird

And I promise I’ll tell you if

I’m ever in need

Are you satisfied now?

Will you stop stressing out?

 

Murder Baby:

Maybe after tomorrow

For now I’ll keep being vigilant

 

Future Murder Victim:

You’re too precious

Really I think you’ll get along with Thad

He’s such a brat

You have so much in common

 

Murder Baby:

Oh fuck off

Just for that I’ll let him cut you into pieces

And put you in a blender

 

Future Murder Victim:

You have a very active imagination

 

Murder Baby:

So I’ve been told

Jon thinks I should channel it

Into art

He suggested slam poetry

Honestly I sometimes wonder

Where he gets those ideas from

 

Future Murder Victim:

He’s such a crackhead I love him

 

Murder Baby:

Back off

Stay in your lane you perv

 

Future Murder Victim:

You and Jay are the same person I swear

So possessive and jealous

 

Murder Baby:

I’m nothing like him

 

Future Murder Victim:

Whatever helps you sleep at night

Anyway see you tomorrow lil bro

Don’t freak out too much in the meantime

 

Murder Baby:

Whatever

Don’t forget to set

All your alarms before going to sleep

Stupid idiot

Notes:

I love Dami, I love him so much. Also Jon is just the best boyfriend for him, he just gets him! gah I love my Supersons!

Chapter Text

Lil Cousin That Might Still Want Me Dead:

Hi Wallace

I um

I don’t really know how to say it

I guess

Thank you, for the package

 

West:

You’re welcome

You liked it then?

 

Lil Cousin That Might Still Want Me Dead:

I… did

I never really

I never really understood what a family was

Or what it was supposed to be

But the pictures, keepsakes

And all the writing you did

I think I understand now

Why it’s so important

Why you all fight to protect it

And…

I’m sorry

For trying to ruin that for so long

 

West:

You know, I always thought

I would hold a grudge against you forever

But really, you only turned out the way you did

Because we failed you

All of us

Me, in this time and the last, in particular

I’m not saying everything will be ok instantly

But I’m willing to work past this if you are

Because no one deserves to grow up unloved

 

Lil Cousin That Might Still Want Me Dead:

I…

I’m done with fighting

I’m done with being angry all the time

With wanting to see the world burn

I just

I never thought there was any other options

But if there is

Well

I would like to take them

 

West:

Then that’s settled

From today on, you are a part of

The family

And we will heal together

It’s not going to be easy

And we will probably have a lot of hard

Conversations in the near future

But we will get through this

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

I hope you’re right…

 

Wally:

How are you holding up

Everything must be pretty difficult

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

It’s… strange

Most people react with mistrust, which I

Had anticipated

It doesn’t really bother me, I know I deserve it

Bartie’s really trying though

He really thinks I deserve to be saved…

 

Wally:

He never gave up hope

Even when everyone told him you couldn’t be

Reasoned with

I notice you’re calling him Bartie now

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

Oh

Yeah

Sometimes it slips out

 

Wally:

Cute

How’s cohabitating with him

Tim and Kon?

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

It’s ok

It’s… nice, almost

Conner’s stopped telling me he will rip my head

From my body with his bare hands

He says hi to me in the morning now

And Tim is cool

Still insists I cheat at chess

But other than that pretty chill

 

 

Wally:

Well, they’re starting to trust you then

and you’re about to become Kon’s favorite

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

I wouldn’t go that far

 

Wally:

Trust me, I know the pattern

It’s how it happened with Jason

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

Ah yes, the infamous Jason

The Evil Brother

I keep hearing about him

 

Wally:

You haven’t met him yet?

Funny

I thought he’d have gone berserk on you already

Damian came to threaten you didn’t he?

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

He did yeah

He’s so cute

 

Wally:

He probably hates that everyone finds him cute these days

Anyway

Jay didn’t come?

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

Nope

Never met him

 

 

Wally:

Strange

Then again he was in your shoes once

Maybe he feels like he can’t judge you

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

From what I heard he seems to have

Better excuses for his actions than I do

 

Wally:

Hm, everything is relative

Anyway you’re bound to meet him

At some point

He and Timmy pretend they are mortal enemies

When actually they’d die for each other

Time and time again

They’re adorable

The Robins are all adorable

 

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

You might be a little biased

 

Wally:

I’m very objective

I married Dickie because he’s literally

The greatest man on Earth, no contest

I made a great decision based on facts

And data

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

If you say so

He is really good looking I’ll give you that

 

Wally:

That’s an understatement

It’s Richard Freaking Grayson

We’re talking about.

Put some respect on my man’s name

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

I meant no disrespect

The man is gorgeous

But not my type

 

Wally:

What’s your type then

 

Lil Cousin That Probably Doesn’t Still Want Me Dead:

I’m not talking about that with you

 

Wally:

Come on Thaddie!

We’re bonding!

 

 

Thaddie:

Thaddie?

 

Wally:

Yeah, once I adopt you you get

A cute nickname

Deal with it

 

Thaddie:

Alright I guess

But I won’t

It’s embarrassing

 

Wally:

If you ask 90% of the people I know

I’m the most embarrassing person they ever met

 

Thaddie:

Why do you sound proud of that?

 

Wally:

Cause it makes me powerful

I don’t need to fear the cringe

I embrace it

Now they fear me

I’m unpredictable

 

Thaddie:

Interesting philosophy

 

Wally:

Come on tell me

 

 

Thaddie:

Fine

I mean

If we’re talking strictly physically…

Please don’t tell Bartie

 

Wally:

Oh no

Tim or Kon

 

Thaddie:

Tim is in the same category as Dick

Objectively gorgeous but not my thing

 

Wally:

What is it with Kryptonians I swear

 

Thaddie:

You gotta admit he is very cute

Also he kept threatening my life

In very gruesome ways

And I’m mentally ill

It didn’t help

But it’s purely a physical attraction I swear

 

 

Wally:

Hey I get it

I mean Dickie doesn’t think I know that

If he wasn’t with me he’d totally

Have fucked Roy

But I do

He’s got a thing for redheads

And he never tried Roy

 

Thaddie:

You know, I don’t think I needed to know that

 

Wally:

Oversharing is a part of family

Bonding

 

 

Thaddie:

If you say so

Anyway that’s my embarrassing secret

 

Wally:

Hey, as long as you don’t fall in love with him

You’re good

 

Thaddie:

I don’t even know if I’m capable of that

Maybe I’m just too broken

 

 

Wally:

Not having romantic feelings

Doesn’t mean you’re broken

It’s called being aromantic

And if it turns out you are

Then it’s perfectly fine

 

Thaddie:

Oh

I didn’t know something like that existed

 

Wally:

Well now you know

But right now it’s mostly

That you haven’t been given any type of love

How can you know what kind you feel and

What kind you don’t if you’ve

Never experienced any?

 

Thaddie:

True…

 

Wally:

That’s going to change

Btw we’re having a family dinner

At Barry and Iris’ house next week

Bart told you didn’t he?

 

Thaddie:

Yeah..

I didn’t know if it was a good idea for me to come

 

Wally:

I mean, it is going to be very awkward

For everyone involved

But we gotta start somewhere don’t we?

It can’t get better if we don’t take the plunge

 

Thaddie:

Maybe you’re right…

Alright I’ll come

 

Wally:

Good

And if it’s too much you can always bounce early

Nobody’s gonna judge

 

Thaddie:

Thanks…

Really Wally, thank you

You don’t have to be so patient and supportive with me

 

Wally:

None of that hun

I’m doing what I should’ve done from the beginning

If roles had been reversed

If you were the one to just crash in our time

Unexpectedly first, lost and disoriented

I would’ve taken care of you in a heartbeat

Just like I did with Bart

Because you both were just kids

And none of what you went through was fair

I know who the real enemy is

And now you do too

 

Thaddie:

Yeah…

I’m glad to be here, after all

I thought I’d never really be glad to be anywhere

But… here is good

Even if I have to work for it

Especially because I have to work for it, I think

It’s the first time in my life I’m building something

Instead of destroying it

And one thing I learned growing up

Is patience

So I know I can do it if I just don’t let me sabotage everything

 

 

Wally:

That’s the right attitude

I’m proud of you Thaddie

 

Thaddie:

Oh…

 

Wally:

Lemme guess

You never heard those words in your life before

 

Thaddie:

No…

 

Wally:

Let it out baby

It’s ok

 

Thaddie:

… Now I’m crying in Tim’s arms because of you

 

Wally:

Better him than Kon, that would have been awkward

 

Thaddie:

Why are you like this…

 

Wally:

Embarrassing, told you

I’ll let you recover

Remember you can call or text me anytime

I’m here for you ok?

 

Thaddie:

Ok…

Wally:

Cry it out and get some rest

It will feel better

 

Notes:

jdzoezophzfpo No but this whole tome is about Wally ascending to his rightful place as the best Dad period, sorry Bruce, should'vegiven him the best So-In-Law spot, he might not have come for you brand!
I literally am just in love with Walls and his little Thaddie's relationship.

Chapter Text

The Cuter Clone:

I have a question.

If you’re not busy of course.

 

Jaime Reyes:

Sure thing Colie

Ask away

 

The Cuter Clone:

How do you suppress anger?

 

Jaime Reyes:

I beg your pardon?

 

The Cuter Clone:

Sometimes I feel angry.

But when I was under control

Anger was the only emotion

I could feel.

So I don’t like when that happens.

So how do you suppress it?

 

Jaime Reyes:

Oh Cole…

 

The Cuter Clone:

Have I said something wrong?

 

Jaime Reyes:

Not wrong per say

A bit concerning Is all

Emotions are not to be suppressed

But to be understood

 

The Cuter Clone:

What is there to be understood about anger?

It’s just a nasty emotion

That can only cause pain.

 

Jaime Reyes:

Why are you angry?

 

The Cuter Clone:

Why?

 

Jaime Reyes:

Yes, why?

 

The Cuter Clone:

I’m not sure.

I guess a lot of annoying things happened today.

But annoying things happen everyday.

Most of the time I don’t pay attention to them.

 

Jaime Reyes:

Can you give me some examples?

 

The Cuter Clone:

Well this morning some guy

Didn’t look where he was going

And ran into me.

It probably hurt him a lot more than me to be fair,

Which is probably why he told me to

Watch where I was going and called me

An asshole.

It is a bit irritating

When someone blames me for something

That isn’t my fault,

But I don’t really care about

A stranger insulting me.

 

Jaime Reyes:

It starts with a little irritation

It must have soured your mood a little

And then?

 

The Cuter Clone:

Then someone cut in line

At the bakery and got the last

Chocolate cake.

I needed it, I was having my brothers over

In the afternoon.

That I was a bit miffed about.

Jaime Reyes:

People I swear.

The Cuter Clone:

Yes. Indeed.

And then I saw Luthor on tv.

Usually I just ignore him.

But today I just couldn’t.

I guess because I was already annoyed?

Jaime Reyes:

Yes, I think it didn’t help

And being angry at Luthor is valid

 

The Cuter Clone:

I just don’t like thinking about

How much I want to hurt him

I don’t want to be that person again

 

Jaime Reyes:

You’re dealing with intrusive thoughts

It’s ok Cole, everyone has them

But you also have the moral sense

To understand you shouldn’t act on them

Anger isn’t always a bad thing

It’s your body and soul reacting to injustice

Trust me, it’s a lot better than apathy

 

The Cuter Clone:

But anger leads to violence

 

Jaime Reyes:

Not always

Anger sometimes leads to change

You know, the French have this

Expression

“La Rage de Vivre”, which roughly

Translate to The Rage to live.

Channeling your anger can be a fuel

A lot of depressed people get angry

When they start recovering

Because all of a sudden something clicks

And they are not letting themselves

Get buried in despair anymore

Anger can lift you up

It can get you out of a slump

 

The Cuter Clone:

So it’s a good thing?

 

Jaime Reyes:

It can be yes

You shouldn’t use your anger to hurt

Other people of course

But for example, being angry people

Are treating you badly can get you

To stand up for yourself

Next time don’t repress it

If you know your anger is justified

And I have no doubt you’ll know where

Your anger is placed most of the time

Then express it

You don’t need to let people walk all over you

Because you’re scared of your own emotions

 

The Cuter Clone:

I see.

I think I get it.

Thank you Jaime

 

Jaime Reyes:

You’re welcome

I get it you know

I used to be scared of getting mad as well

So much so that I always waited until

The boiling point

Which is so unhealthy

I ended up saying and doing a lot of things

I regret

Don’t let it go to the boiling point

Find ways to let out the anger

 

The Cuter Clone:

How do you do it?

 

Jaime Reyes:

Lots of ways

I listen to angry music

I go to the gym

I scream to the void, that one is my favorite

Jay probably has more good ways

He’s the king of anger

Some ways are probably healthier than others

In his case

 

The Cuter Clone:

I just asked him.

He just answered sex.

I have to admit I’m not sure what he meant.

 

Jaime Reyes:

I’m going to murder him.

Which is probably good for him

Cause that means Kon can’t get to him first

 

The Cuter Clone:

I’m guessing you’re not serious.

 

Jaime Reyes:

I’m still debating

Nevermind actually don’t

Listen to Jason he’s a troll

 

The Cuter Clone:

He said you were just pissed because it’s true.

And he said something about you needing

To let out your anger soon.

 

 

Jaime Reyes:

Why is he like this

 

 

The Cuter Clone:

I like Jason he’s nice.

 

Jaime Reyes:

You’re so cute

Just don’t let him corrupt you

You’re too pure for this world

 

The Cuter Clone:

Kon always says that too.

I don’t really get it.

 

Jaime Reyes:

Don’t worry about it

Are you feeling a bit better?

 

The Cuter Clone:

I guess.

I don’t feel angry now.

But I will try to follow

Your advice next time.

Thank you for talking to me.

 

Jaime Reyes:

You’re very much welcome

What are friends for eh?

 

The Cuter Clone:

That’s true.

You’re a good friend Jaime.

 

 

Jaime Reyes:

Aww you’re a good friend too Colie

I have to leave you now

I have to teach Jason some manners

 

The Cuter Clone:

Alright.

See you Friday for Trivia Night.

 

Jaime Reyes:

You bet!

Chapter Text

Dolly:

Did the sedative work?

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

For now

Even enhanced it’s probably not enough

To knock him out more than an hour

Even in his current state

 

Dolly:

Hm.

We might need to find

A better way to deal with his attacks

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Yeah

Is Bartie ok? Did you find him?

 

Dolly:

He didn’t take off too far

He was just around the block

He’s not saying anything

He does look pale

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

He’s probably dissociating

It’s the first time it gets this bad

If you hadn’t heard something

Suspicious happening

Who knows if we could have gotten there in time

 

Dolly:

Yeah

I don’t understand though

He was fine

Or he seemed fine

He was laughing and joking around

During dinner

I don’t get what triggered this

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Who knows

Don’t come home too soon

I haven’t finished cleaning up

The blood

 

Dolly:

I’ll take Bartie to Wally and Dick’s

Then I’ll come and help you

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

No stay with him

I’ll manage

Just make sure Bartie doesn’t come back

Until I tell you it’s ok

I know he will want to be there

But we can’t traumatize him further

Tell him I’ll take good care of Thad

 

Dolly:

He’s not going to like this

 

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

He can’t help in his current state

He just watched his twin try to commit suicide

Btw Thad’s healing factor

Is still shot

The wounds are taking forever to heal

In speedster’s time

I think we might need to do something about that

 

Dolly:

One thing at a time

Let’s first try to keep him alive

The rest can wait

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Yeah

It’s funny huh

How all of a sudden we care for the poor bastard

 

 

Dolly:

Yeah

I mean he is Bartie’s brother

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Yeah

But also ngl I consider him a friend at this point

 

Dolly:

Hm

I guess he is

I mean I still think he’s annoying

But I surely don’t want him dead

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Yeah

It’s going to be ok

We’ve gone through worse

 

Dolly:

Yeah…

Make sure he eats when he wakes up

There’s some leftover pasta in the fridge

Also he can have my last

Pack of oreos if he wants

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Gasp, you’re sharing your oreos?

 

Dolly:

It’s a one time thing

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

You big softie

I’ll feed him don’t worry

Take care of Bartie

And keep Wally from going off the wall

Also

He’s gonna go berserk when you explain

 

Dolly:

Oh boy I hadn’t thought about that

I’ll let Dick deal with that

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Good fucking luck to him then

Have to go, sedatives wore off

Ttyl babe

 

 

Dolly:

Keep us posted

Love you

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

Fast And Furious:

I’m sorry

 

Spare Parts:

I’m not mad at you you know

 

Fast And Furious:

Do you need to be mad

for me to be sorry?

 

Spare Parts:

Touché

I just don’t understand

Why Thad?

 

Fast And Furious:

I…

I guess I’ve been feeling…

Like this, for a week or so

I just

I don’t want it to sound like it’s

Anyone’s fault because it’s not

 

Spare Parts:

Just say whatever comes to mind

I can take it

 

Fast And Furious:

Alright…

It’s just

Well I look at you

And Tim and Kon

And Walls and Dick

And everyone

And I just see

I just see something I could never be

Happiness, freedom, sanity

I know you’re trying to give me that

But

The nightmares have been getting worse

And I guess I’m questioning if

It’s even possible I’ll be happy one day

And even if it was

I just

I just don’t deserve it Bartie

No matter how many times I try

To convince myself I do

I know I don’t

I’m a monster

I’ve always been a monster

And just because I’m trying to be better doesn’t erase

The fact that I hurt everyone

I hurt you

You’re the best person I’ve ever met

And I fucking tried to destroy you

Time and time again

I don’t deserve to be here

I don’t deserve to live

 

Spare Parts:

What about what I deserve?

 

Fast And Furious:

What?

 

Spare Parts:

Do I deserve to lose my brother

After finally getting to be close to him?

Do I deserve to be woken up

By my boyfriend shaking me in the

Middle of the night because something

Is wrong and my twin is hurting himself?

Do I deserve to find you in a pool

Of your own blood?

 

Fast And Furious:

So you lied about not being mad

Good to know

 

Spare Parts:

I’m really trying not to be

But it’s hard

 

Fast And Furious:

I get it

I fucked up

I’m really sorry

I shouldn’t have been so selfish

I shouldn’t have made you see that

 

Spare Parts:

It’s not about me seeing it or not

It’s about the fact I care about you

About the fact I love you and I cannot lose you

I just can’t Thad

I don’t know what you deserve

I’m not a God

I’m not here to cast judgement upon you

I’m just your brother

And I need you to be ok

Maybe I’m just as selfish as you are

But right now I don’t care

You don’t want to live for yourself yet

I get it

And I know eventually it can’t go on like that

You will have to find that motivation in yourself

But right now

Just for a little bit

Even if it’s unhealthy

Even if it doesn’t solve anything in the long run

I need you to live for me

I need you to stay alive because I ask you to

Because you owe me

You owe me this at least

You said you tried to destroy me

You think you’ve taken enough from me

Then don’t take my brother away

Because I wouldn’t forgive you if you did

 

 

Fast And Furious:

I…

I won’t

I promise

I won’t take your brother away from you

Even if I don’t know why you love him

So much

 

Spare Parts:

I just do.

And I don’t have to justify or explain

Myself on that.

I love you, period.

Fast And Furious:

I love you too Bartie

 

Spare Parts:

I know.

How’s being strangled by Wally

 

Fast And Furious:

Does he know human beings need air?

 

Spare Parts:

I’ve never asked him

He’s not gonna let go of you for a while

And then it’s my turn

I’m just waiting for Timmy to give me the

All-clear cause apparently

He thinks if I see a single drop of blood

I’m gonna pass out

 

 

Fast And Furious:

He has been deep cleaning the whole house

When he could have just done the bathroom

 

Spare Parts:

It’s his way of coping

Timmy likes to be in control

He can’t show his emotions right now because

We’re all shaken

So he has to let it out somehow

I guess he chose cleaning

 

Fast And Furious:

I didn’t want to cause you all so much trouble…

 

Spare Parts:

Don’t

Don’t dwell on it

Focus on recovery

Also we need to do something

About those nightmares of yours

 

Fast And Furious:

Good luck with that

They’re… persistent

Between my botched timeline

And the 100 years in the speed force

I don’t think I can get rid of them

 

 

Spare Parts:

We can try to reduce their frequency at least

We’ll find a way

Fast And Furious:

If you say so

Bartie?

 

Spare Parts:

Yeah?

 

Fast And Furious:

You ever wonder how things

Might have been if we’d grown up together?

 

Spare Parts:

All the time

 

Fast And Furious:

Huh

When I was in the speed force

Sometimes I thought about

Trying that out

Instead of repairing everything

I didn’t do it cause I had

Messed up enough already

But I thought about it

 

Spare Parts:

There is nothing for us in the past Thad

Even if we wish there was

We can never grow up together

But we can go forward together

And I think that’s ok

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah…

I think that’s ok too

 

Spare Parts:

Plus if we’d grown up together we would have BOTH

Been supervillains

I know we would

 

Fast And Furious:

Heh, you might have a point

Then again

If we’d both been raised by Walls

Maybe he could have made us good people

 

Spare Parts:

until he died

as everyone I loved did

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah…

Good thing with having no one to care about

My whole life is I never had to experience loss

I guess…

I’m sorry you had to go through that

And I’m sorry I nearly made you

Go through it again

 

Spare Parts:

It’s alright

I mean it’s not

But you know

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah

Did you ever think about revenge?

 

Spare Parts:

Of course I did

I wasn’t a Saint you know

We lived through a war

An Apocalypse

I’ve done things I’m not proud of

 

Fast And Furious:

Mostly to defend yourself

And what you had left though

 

Spare Parts:

Hm

I almost crossed the line once or twice

I couldn’t do it only cause I had the voices

Of the people I loved in the back of my mind

All those I lost who I would be disrespecting

If I became the worst version of myself

 

Fast And Furious:

I see…

 

Spare Parts:

I did beat up a defenseless

Reach soldier prisoner once

Three days after ‘Wing died

Everything became too much

I almost had no one left at that point

It took both Uncles Bats to

Get me to stop

And even then they had a hard time restraining me

See you’re not the only one with

Anger issues

 

Fast And Furious:

Never had anyone to restrain me

 

Spare Parts:

Now you do

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah I do

Not to mention the fact I’m weak as fuck

Right now

It’s stupid, I had finally gotten

A bit of my speed back

And I had to go and spoil it all

 

Spare Parts:

This is what you get for trying to

Abandon me

Timmy said something about your

Healing factor not working properly

btw

Fast And Furious:

Yeah

Side effect of Grandpa’s weapon I’m afraid

I’m lucky I still have powers

 

Spare Parts:

It can take your power away?

 

Fast And Furious:

Not take them exactly

But destroy your body enough

So you can never use them again

I think because you

Forced my healing factor to kick

In from the jump after

The attack I got lucky

Couldn’t take another one of those rays though

 

Spare Parts:

Yeah I wouldn’t recommend

Alright Timmy says I can come back

Be there in a flash Bro

 

Fast And Furious:

You had to say that didn’t you

You’re so annoying

 

Spare Parts:

Love you too

 

Notes:

so... yeah. I thought it was important to show that not everything can be solved instantly, even though this is fiction. Thad has been through a lot of traumatic things, and it is still affecting him. just because he made progress doesn't mean everything is fixed. But he will pull through.

Next Chapter: Damian goes to Jason for shelter and advice

Chapter 10: Shelter

Summary:

When Batman is off World, it's up to Robin to protect Gotham. Damian could have been more cautious. Jason has to big-brother parent him;

Notes:

Hi! so, this chapter is a lot less depressing this time! good vibes all aroung, well mostly!

I haven't written one word since chapter 30, I it's not dramatic for now but if when I upload chapter 20 I see I still haven't gotten anywhere I'll slow the updates for the last ten! we're not there yet though!
Anyways hope you enjoy! x

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Hey can I crash at yours

 

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

How bad

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I might need stitches

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Fucking hell

At least tell me you didn’t get shot

This time

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Only once

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

You need to be more careful kid

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Yeah yeah

If I wanted a lecture

I’d have gone home

Or gone to Grayson

Can I come by or what

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Yeah sure

What happened

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Honestly it wasn’t even my fault this time

I was just doing routine patrol

Father’s off world so he said to take it easy

And call Grayson if anything truly bad happened

So I was more or less listening

 

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Why don’t I believe you

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Come on I can patrol Gotham on my own

 

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Just get to the point

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I’m getting there!

So I was patrolling

And I happened to stumble onto

A huge arms deal taking place

I mean I had to do something

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Yeah, call Dick

Or Tim even

Hell isn’t Babs around right now?

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Look

I was already there

Plus It looked like I could take them

And I could

Mostly

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

What does “mostly” mean?

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I told you I only got shot once

I mean not counting the grenade

I need to reinforce my costume

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

It’s getting worse and worse every message

Where were you shot

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Just the shoulder

It’s fine

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

This is the last time Damian you hear me?

This is the last time I cover for you

When you’re reckless and get

Hurt

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

You said that last time also

 

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

This time I’m serious

You’re gonna end up killed one of these days

Is that what you want?

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

You know it’s not

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Could’ve fooled me

Damian I know you’re

Trying to prove yourself

I know you’re almost grown up

And you want everyone to take you seriously

I get that you don’t want to be just the

Sidekick anymore

But this is not the way to do it

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I know alright?

I just

It’s hard

Living in so many shadows

It’s not just Batman’s

I’m the FOURTH Robin

And you all did so much with your lives

And I don’t even know what I want mine to be

Jon keeps talking about graduating and college and stuff

I never even thought about those things

All I have is Robin

But even Robin isn’t enough anymore

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

You’re 17 Dams

You think any of us knew what we were doing

At that age?

I mean I was dead

But I’m sure if you ask Dick he’ll tell you

His whole life was a mess

And don’t even get me started on Tim

Trust me you’re a lot better off than any of us

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I’m not sure

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Just

Take things one step at a time

You have infinite potential, and all

The money in the world

Do you realize how lucky you are

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I guess

 

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Purpose is hard to find

Robin needs to grow

Maybe at some point you’ll have to grow out of Robin even

We can’t all be Timmy and refuse change

At every turn

But that’s not even the most important

Right now

You need to think about DAMIAN

About who he is

About what he wants

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I’m having  a hard time figuring that out

 

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

You have interests

Hobbies

Not to mention many talents

Spend some time doing things

For yourself

Stop trying to prove

You’re someone when you don’t

Even know who that is

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I guess

Sorry for putting you through this

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Honestly that’s karma

When Dick called me reckless and stupid

When I was young I told him

He wasn’t my real brother and

I hated him

And then I died

You’re a lot nicer in comparison

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

When you say it like that

Then yeah

I don’t hate you btw

Just to make that clear

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Aww that was almost a declaration of love

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Yeah no

I need to space those out

I’ve been giving them too freely

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Fair enough

Now hurry up

Don’t want you bleeding out in an alley

Somewhere

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

It’s really not that bad

But I’m coming

Can you call Alfred for me?

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Yup, lemme lie to my favorite

Person in the world for you again sure

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I love you?

 

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Weaponized affection

I thought you were spacing those out

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Desperate times and all that

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

They are right you’re too much like me

This is not a compliment btw

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Work on your self-loathing Jason

I’m worried about you

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

When you call me Jason it sends

Shivers down my spine

It’s so unnatural

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Deal with it weakling.

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

That’s better

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

Damian Wayne:

Hey Cole

Can I ask you something

 

Favorite Brother In Law:

Hello Damian.

What is it?

Damian Wayne:

So Jon told me you started

Volunteering at the shelter

Where you adopted Candle from

 

Favorite Brother In Law:

Oh.

That’s true yes.

I wanted a job at first,

But then I realized money

Started coming into my bank account

Magically

So I decided since I still had too much time

On my hands I might as well do something good

With it.

Why?

 

Damian Wayne:

Do you think you could

Talk to the owner and see

If they’d need another volunteer?

 

Favorite Brother In Law:

Oh, of course

She’s a nice lady

Plus there’s always too much work

I tried saying I could do more hours

But she scolded me saying I needed sleep

Sometimes.

I don’t actually, not that much, but

She laughed when I said that.

 

Damian Wayne:

People are not supposed

To know you’re half kryptonian so

They assume you have a normal

Sleep schedule

 

Favorite Brother In Law:

That’s true.

Anyway, you want to come help

At the shelter?

 

Damian Wayne:

I think so yeah

I mean I’ve always had a soft spot for animals

And Jason says I have to start

Focusing on my interests

Plus that way I’m still doing

Something that matters

 

Favorite Brother In Law:

Jason is very smart.

So he’s probably right.

I’ll tell Cheryl about you

 

Damian Wayne:

Thanks Cole.

By the way how’s Candle?

 

Favorite Brother In Law:

She is still adorable.

I love her.

I bought her so many things.

She has like, three different

Pet beds

But she’d rather sleep in my bed.

 

Damian Wayne:

That’s so precious

Titus used to sleep in my bed

When he was a puppy

Then Alfred put a stop to it

So I had to make him his own space

In my room

Cause like hell I’m letting my son sleep

In another room

Or worse outside

Barbaric

 

 

Favorite Brother In Law:

You’re a good dog dad.

 

Damian Wayne:

That’s the nicest thing

Anyone ever said to me

 

Favorite Brother In Law:

I’ll keep you posted on Cheryl’s

Answer.

In the meantime, I have to go.

I have to run to the store, I forgot

To buy the cat treats Candle likes best

 

Damian Wayne:

A True emergency

Talk to you later Cole

Notes:

Dami my dear little angel baby you NEED TO BE A KID!
really though I love him so much, I just want him to live a little.

Serial Hugging Dad:

Oh dear

When he swears you know it’s not good

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Then again he is a dramatic guy

He gets it from you darling

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

STOP TALKING ABOUT ME LIKE IM NOT HERE

THIS IS SERIOUS

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Bartie, breathe

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Just tell us what happened

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Ok so

Cole came by today since it’s been a while

And also I had made muffins

And he loves muffins the precious boy

Anyway he comes in and first of all

WHO TOOK THAT BOY TO HOT TOPIC

WAS IT DAMIAN

IT MUST HAVE BEEN DAMIAN

WHAT HAS HE DONE

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Oh yeah I saw that

With the silver white hair too

That boy got emo real quick

It suits him though

A giant alt puppy

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Yeah I approve

Plus now no one calls him Conner on accident

That must be a huge plus

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

GUYS YOU DON’T GET IT

HE IS HOT NOW

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Yes?

I don’t see the problem

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

It’s not like you’ve never seen a hot person before

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

IT’S NOT ME THAT’S THE PROBLEM

Look, I’m really happy for him

He found his sense of style and

Individuality

He’s having a great time with self-discovery

I’m proud of him and wish him only the best

BUT HE CANT SHOW UP TO MY HOUSE LOOKING HOT

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Again, you’re not making sense

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

He rarely does to be fair

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

THAD IS HERE

COLE IS HOT

YALL KNOW HOW TO ADD OR

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

… Oh no

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Honestly? We should have seen that coming

Wait was it the first time they met?

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

YES

Oh Kon is gonna kill me

Or Thad

I don’t know

Anyway this is a disaster

My boy FROZE

For TEN MINUTES

Like he never saw a hot man before

Really it was embarrassing

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

My baby is already growing up

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Hey by the way why isn’t he in this GC?

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Oh you’re right

Wait lemme

 

Why Did You Grow Up Added Thaddeus Thawne

To the group

Why Did You Grow Up changed the Group’s name to

“Birdflash and Sons”

Why Did You Grow Up changed Thaddeus Thawne’s name to

“I’m Like TT”

 

 

I’m Like TT:

What

Oh Hey guys

What’s up

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Welcome child

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Ok now that you’re here

THADDEUS WHY

I’m Like TT:

What have I done this time

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

You got a thing for Kryptonians apparently

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Wanna talk about your new crush?

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE COLE

 

I’m Like TT:

What are you all talking about?

I don’t have a crush

That’s ridiculous

Cole who

I don’t know a Cole

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Oh baby

Baby denial is not gonna help

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

It’s ok we all agree he’s hot

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Hot and as innocent as a lamb

And he has a crazy overprotective older brother

Literally why

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

The heart wants what the heart wants

 

I’m Like TT:

I literally just met him

I haven’t even done anything

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Except freeze for ten minutes apparently

 

I’m Like TT:

BART HOW COULD YOU

 

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I JUST TOLD THE TRUTH

ITS NOT MY FAULT YOU GET DYSFUNCTONAL

AROUND HOT GUYS

Ok actually, it might be my fault

Since you know

My genes and all that

BUT I NEVER FROZE BEFORE

I’m Like TT:

He just

I don’t know ok

He’s really good looking

And also really nice and soft spoken

Like

Wow

Also he’s very adorable

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

That he is

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I think it’s very cute you have a crush

I support you dear

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Don’t encourage him he’s gonna get MURDERED

 

I’m Like TT:

Again

I haven’t done anything

I mean we talked

Cause I’m polite

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Yeah, you talked for the whole

Two hours he was there!

I was all but invisible!

Can ya’ll believe it!

Haven’t caught up with Colie in weeks!

And Thad steals all my thunder!

 

I’m Like TT:

I didn’t mean to

He’s just interesting

Especially with him being a clone

And breaking free from the control

And all that

It’s fascinating to hear about all this

And the life he managed to build for himself

He’s so brave

Honestly it was inspiring

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Oh no that’s actually so beautiful…

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Good job Thad you made Wally cry

 

I’m Like TT:

Sorry?

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Don’t apologize it’s super easy to do

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

It’s just

You two share some common ground

And the idea that his journey gives you inspiration

Perhaps even hope

Is really touching

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

That’s true

 

I’m Like TT:

Oh…

Thanks I guess

 

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Ugh

You’re gonna become besties aren’t you

Damn I have to prepare Kon psychologically

This is Jon and Dami all over again

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Hey, it worked out didn’t it

Kon’s been better these days

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I won’t judge I was worse once

There’s not a person in this world

I wouldn’t have beaten up for my brothers

Except Bartie, cause he had the brilliant idea

To make me love him unconditionally before

He depraved my Timmy

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Dickie, you and I both know if anyone

Depraved anyone it was the other way around

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Yeah he’s got a point

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Shsh

Let me live in denial

 

I’m Like TT:

It doesn’t matter anyway

It’s not like I’m gonna try anything

And even if I did

I doubt it would go anywhere

 

 

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

That’s what they all say

Me included tbh

And now look at me

 

I’m Like TT:

Yeah somehow I think the situation

Is a tad bit different

Do I need to go into details

As to why?

Like in short, I’m a mentally unstable

Ex supervillain who’s never even so much as kissed anyone

Let alone thought about a relationship before

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Pure innocent little baby Thaddie

 

I’m Like TT:

How did you miss the mentally unstable

ex supervillain part

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Selective reading

He’s good at that

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

We’re not gonna enter into a debate today

It’s not really relevant

Right now you just met a new potential friend

Which is already a lot

We’ll focus on that

And not on the fact that

Even though Fate doesn’t exist she’s playing

With us again

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

She does that often

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I have a good feeling about this

Hey you both are coming for trivia night

This time right?

I want Thad on my team

 

I’m Like TT:

Oh, that thing you do every Friday

With like a thousand people?

I guess now I’ve met most of them

So I might not end up hiding in the bathroom

 

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I think you met everyone that’s coming

Now that you’ve seen Colie

Wait are Roy and Kaldur coming?

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Oh yeah, I managed to convince them

It’s been months

Those bastards don’t even call

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

So only two people you haven’t seen

That should be alright shouldn’t it?

 

I’m Like TT:

I guess…

 

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

It’s ok you can sit between me and Jay

And if you’re uncomfortable he’ll

Just create a diversion

He likes you

And loves nothing more than to cause chaos

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

And you love encouraging him

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I still haven’t recovered from his last “diversion”

7 times out of 10 I’m the target

 

I’m Like TT:

You know I think he’s my favorite Robin

Then again Damian is good too

 

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

You’re so unsurprising in your picks

Of course you like the edgy Robins the best

 

I’m Like TT:

Let me live my truth

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

That’s settled then

You’re both coming

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

And I get Thad on my team

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

If you get Thad we get Jason

You always take him

And let him carry you in

All the literature questions

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Yeah he’s right!

Jason’s ours

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Ugh fine

 

I’m Like TT:

You’re weirdly competitive for a game night

Between friends and family

 

 

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

You’ll get it once you’ve played

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Yeah it gets intense

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

There are just so many sore losers among us

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

You being the biggest one

Second biggest after Tim

 

I’m Like TT:

Oh that I can attest

Timmy can’t lose at chess if he does

I never hear the end of it

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

If he and Dick aren’t on the same team

They always end up screaming at each other

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Dibs on Tim btw

And Kon while I’m at it

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

That’s foul

I’m taking Jaime and Zatanna

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Take Kaldur also!

He’s got that weird obscure knowledge

No one knows where he got it from!

 

I’m Like TT:

Is there a strategy to all this or…

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Dickie usually picks people who have

A wide array of general knowledge

Walls and I like to choose people with special interests

So everyone gets to shine at some point

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I get Cole also btw

And Arty cause she’s my ace

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

You would

I need Dams as my Pop music expert

And I’ll take Jon so he can’t use his puppy

Dog eyes to distract Dami

Like last time

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Devious little bugger

 

I’m Like TT:

You’re all fascinating

Anyway Bartie where’s that boyfriend of yours

I’m hungry

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

The fact that Kon is the only competent cook

In your household will never not be funny

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Hey!

I bake!

And I’m not terrible at cooking

It’s just that Kon is amazing

And he loves to do it

 

I’m Like TT:

Tim can’t cook for shit though

He tried to poison me the other day

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

I wouldn’t even let him serve me water

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Poor Timmy he’s doing his best

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

We all have our strengths it’s ok

Anyway Kon should be back in 15 minutes

In the meantime let’s go play

Some rounds of Mario Kart

 

I’m Like TT:

Prepare to get annihilated Allen!

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Aw kids

So cute

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Have fun you guys!

Notes:

LMAO POOR BARTIE IS STRESSED!
Also I just love giant puppy Cole in an Alt e-boy get up, I just want him to look hot and mysterious when he's actually just a cutie pie lmao and Thad approves!
Poor Thaddie he's not gonna survive is he blblblbl oh well good luck to him!

Chapter Text

Bother Figure:

Why did Bruce ask me if I was

Gonna be your Best Man

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Cause he’s delusional

Roy is

Bother Figure:

That’s not what I meant

Although I’m offended

I can’t believe you’d choose

Him over me

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Suffer Dickiebird

 

Bother Figure:

Ok but have I missed an episode again?

Did you propose?

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Nah

Bruce and Alfred just think I’m taking too long

So they’ve decided if they

Plan a whole wedding and force us

To attend I can’t say anything

 

Bother Figure:

And you’re letting them do it?

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

It’s hilarious

Plus Jaime is confused and panicking

And that’s even funnier

 

Bother Figure:

Why must you torture the poor boy

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

He’s just adorable when he’s

Panicking over trivial matters

Plus he gets to go

Cake tasting with Alfie next week

What a treat

 

Bother Figure:

Oh they’re really serious

Honestly this obsession is a bit worrying

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Heh

They just know this is as good as it gets for me

If your problem child found

A perfect man you’d make sure they marry too

 

 

Bother Figure:

Stop that

No more self-deprecation

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Can y’all let me live?

First Dams now you

Yes I like joking about how much I hate myself

It’s part of my personality

 

Bother Figure:

It would be ok if you didn’t actually

Hate yourself

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

I mean

Nowadays I mostly tolerate myself

So that’s a win in my books

 

Bother Figure:

It’s a start I guess

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Hey how are you doing btw

 

Bother Figure:

Why are you asking

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

You’ve been looking very pensive these days

I was meaning to talk to you about that

 

Bother Figure:

Oh

I guess I’ve been reflecting on stuff yeah

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Wanna share with the class?

 

Bother Figure:

Do you think I’d make a good father?

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Is the sky blue?

 

Bother Figure:

I’m serious

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

So am I

Dickie you were born for this

You’re already a father figure to many

Cause you’re old af

 

Bother Figure:

Shut up

I heard your knees crack the other day

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

That was probably in your head

Why do you ask?

 

Bother Figure:

I just

These days whenever I see parents

With their small children I just feel

Like maybe

Maybe I want something like that

Maybe I want a kid

A little baby to raise and love

And all that crap

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Aww

You got baby fever

 

Bother Figure:

I guess

I just

I don’t know if that’s something

Wally’s thought about

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Well maybe you should talk to him about that

 

Bother Figure:

Yeah…

I’m a bit scared I think

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Ypu shouldn’t be

That man is the most family oriented

Person I’ve ever met

He probably wants

Like 15 kids

 

Bother Figure:

Only 15?

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

You’re insane

Anyway just talk to him

Tell him to get you pregnant

Or something idk

 

Bother Figure:

Very funny

I’m pretty sure I’ll

Just follow the patented Bruce Wayne method

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Two times out of three

You get an ok kid

Don’t take the one who tries

To steal your tires tho

 

 

Bother Figure:

Jason.

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Sorry, I’ll stop I promise

Anyway, I get to be Godfather

 

Bother Figure:

No, it’s gonna be Roy

Since he gets to be your Best Man

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

You’re so petty

 

Bother Figure:

Look who’s talking

Alright, Wally just got home

I guess I’ll talk to him

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Good

I’m sure it’s gonna go great

 

Bother Figure:

Maybe

Thanks Jay

You know I’m glad you

Were a punk and tried to steal

Those tires

If you hadn’t I wouldn’t have you

As a brother

And my life wouldn’t be nearly as good

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Stop

Bother Figure:

No

 

If you change your name on my phone again istg:

Fuck you

I love you you goddamn asshole

 

Bother Figure:

Love you too Little Wing

 

Notes:

I can't, Jason letting Bruce and Alfred plan a whole wedding for him just cause he thinks it's funny is so him coded this crackhead.
Poor Jaime must be so stressed out!

Next Chapter: Trivia Night

Chapter 13: Heart Eyes

Chapter Text

Timmy <3 :

What the actual fuck

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

Don’t

Just don’t say anything

I’m already stressing out

 

Timmy <3:

So I’m not seeing things right

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

Shsh

Act normal

 

Timmy <3:

What have you been hiding from us

Bartholomew

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

Nothing!

 

Timmy <3:

So you don’t know

Why Thad is giving Cole heart eyes

And smiling like an idiot?

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

Ok so maybe he’s got a crush

And maaaybe I already knew cause

Cole came over the other day

And poor Thad short-circuited

Cause he looked hot af

And then mayhaps they talked for

Two hours non-stop

While I was third wheeling

 

Timmy <3:

Bartie

Kon is gonna LOSE IT

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

I KNOW OK

WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO

IT WAS TOO LATE TO GO BACK

 

Timmy <3:

Oh Boy

I mean don’t get me wrong it’s very cute

But we barely got Kon to accept Dami

And he just started liking Thad

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

I mean

Right now it’s just a puppy crush

But mostly Thad just admires him

Colie’s everything he

Strives to be

He got out, got help and got better

I think it’s the first time he

Actually realizes it’s possible

 

Timmy <3:

Damn

Who knew meeting Cole

Would be the wake up call huh

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

Yeah

I think them being friends could be good

Not just for Thad

I think Cole actually

Enjoys talking to him

 

Timmy <3:

Looks like it yeah

He’s never so talkative usually

Then again Thad keeps

Asking questions about

All his interests

Like he doesn’t just pay lip service

He’s actually interested

Don’t get me wrong I love Colie

And talking to him but like

Five different questions

About the type of house plants

Better suited for a less illuminated

Area?

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

They’re both prone to hyperfixations

To the extreme

It makes sense

 

Timmy <3:

Yeah you’re right

We’re gonna have to talk to Kon aren’t we

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

Not it!

 

Timmy <3:

What?

Bart!

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

Hah! Now you get to

Deal with it!

 

Timmy <3:

That’s so unfair!

It’s YOUR brother!

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

I’ve been dealing with your THREE brothers for

Years!

I only have one!

 

Timmy <3:

He’s enough for three!

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

No

Jason alone matches him

 

Timmy <3:

… ok fair enough

But still!

You’re better at dealing with his

Overprotectiveness than I am

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

Because you think it’s hot

When he acts like a caveman

You truly have no self-control

 

Timmy <3:

Your point?

 

(◕ ワ ◕✿):

Tss

It’s too late anyway I already said not it

 

Timmy <3:

But Bartiiiie!

Oh wait

He’s texting the GC

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

 

Group Chat (Powerpuff Girls)

 

Buttercup:

You two stop texting behind my back

And pay attention to the game

 

Blossom:

What are you talking about

 

Bubbles:

Yeah what

 

Buttercup:

Don’t even try it

I know what you’re up to

 

Blossom:

We’re not doing anything honest

 

Bubbles:

Yeah we’re innocent

 

Buttercup:

Oh so you weren’t talking about the fact

Thad is totally crushing on Cole?

 

Blossom:

….

 

Bubbles:

You’re so smart and perceptive

It’s really sexy

 

Buttercup:

Don’t you flirt with me Bartholomew

You’re on thin ice

 

Blossom:

Are you going to kill Thad now or later?

 

Bubbles:

Please let him live

I promise his crush is pure and innocent

 

Buttercup:

Oh I know

Thad is about as relationship literate as a rock

Also Cole has no idea

So I’m not gonna threaten him

Yet

I’ll keep an eye o him though

 

Blossom:

That’s

Coming from you that’s almost

Reasonable

 

Bubbles:

Yeah how come you’re not

Going berserk?

 

Buttercup:

Two reasons

First, Cole is having more fun

Tonight talking with the brat than

I’ve ever seen him have in any

Other trivia night

He obviously wants to be friends with him

And second

I have a bigger enemy to tackle

 

Blossom:

Who?

 

Buttercup:

That absolute dipshit

You call a brother

Who thinks it’s funny to tell

My little bro that he should

Channel his anger into sex

 

Blossom:

 

Bubbles:

I mean he’s lived a longer life than anticipated

Maybe it’s time to let Jason go towards the light

We’ve done our best Timmy

 

Blossom:

Yeah at this point it’s almost a choice he made

 

Buttercup:

Good to know we’re on the same page

I’m going to pulverize him

 

Blossom:

Fair enough

At least Thad gets to live another day

 

Bubbles:

Plus Tim has two other brothers

It’s ok if he loses one

I don’t have that luxury

 

Buttercup:

A valid point

Now everyone off their phone

 

Blossom:

You know what it does to me when

You talk like that

 

Buttercup:

Yes I know

But if you want to make sure

I take care of you tonight

You will focus and make our team win

 

Blossom:

Yes sir

 

Bubbles:

Too bad for you I’m gonna win

Suck it losers

 

Buttercup:

That can be arranged

 

Bubbles:

Akzheb WHY

 

Buttercup:

:D

 

Blossom:

Wow, using his own weapon against him

Well played Kent

 

Bubbles:

You’re so going DOWN

 

Buttercup:

Again, with pleasure

 

Bubbles:

STOP

 

Blossom:

Hey it’s not his fault you’re

Only talking in innuendos

 

Bubbles:

I’m not talking to ya’ll anymore

BYE

Notes:

Not Kon lowkey approving of Thad cause he knows he's just as pure and innocent as Cole when it comes to relationships but wanting to kill Jason who's just being a good mentor lmao.
Next chapter: Cole gives fashion advice (aka Thadcole accidently on a date)

Chapter 14: Birds Of A Feather (We Should Stick Together)

Notes:

Hi everyone!

I hope you enjoy and love theù as much as I do! x

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Absolute Cutie:

Hello, Thaddeus.

Sorry, Thad.

You said to call you that

Thad:

Hi Cole

It’s ok, whatever is fine

Usually I don’t really like my name

But coming from you

It doesn’t really bother me

 

Absolute Cutie:

I see

Still, I should go for

What you prefer

 

Thad:

That’s very nice, thank you

Did you need anything

Or was it just a social call?

Or text I guess

 

Absolute Cutie:

I just felt like talking to you.

Oh and I wanted to send you this.

*picture attached*

 

Thad:

OMG is that Candle???

She’s so adorable!!!!

 

Absolute Cutie:

She is yes.

I love her.

 

Thad:

As you should!

Thank you for this, I needed that today

 

Absolute Cutie:

You’re welcome.

I tried to learn chess by the way.

I’m not really good at it.

Thad:

Aw it’s ok, I’ll teach you one day

As long as you teach me

Everything you know about fashion

Because how did you manage

To become such an icon?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I don’t know?

I mean I just buy clothes that fit

And look nice.

 

Thad:

So you’re just a natural

Good to know

Then again most of my clothes

Are just Bart hand me downs

 

Absolute Cutie:

You should buy some clothes for yourself.

You can’t just have Bart’s

Just because you’re a clone.

You deserve your own.

 

Thad:

Oh

Maybe

I mean I don’t really um

I don’t really do the whole

Going out alone

And live normally thing

The only time I get out of the house

Is if Bartie or his boyfriends drag me out

Or if some family member

Invites me for one reason or another

 

Absolute Cutie:

Are you scared of going out?

 

Thad:

I’m not sure

I just don’t really feel…

Comfortable I guess

In public

 

 

 

Absolute Cutie:

I understand.

It was hard for me in the beginning.

Especially because of the super-hearing.

 

Thad:

Yeah that must have been rough…

 

Absolute Cutie:

A little bit.

I was easily over-stimulated.

Plus human beings are so

Complicated I didn’t understand

A lot of what was going on.

But it got better after a while.

 

Thad:

That’s good

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes.

If you want we could go out together.

I can show you where I get my clothes.

And then we can go to my apartment

So you can meet Candle.

I’ll make hot chocolate.

Thad:

Oh

Are you um

Are you sure?

I don’t want to bother you

 

Absolute Cutie:

Why would you bother me?

I was the one to ask.

 

Thad:

That’s true…

 

Absolute Cutie:

I try not to do things I don’t want to do

In general.

Spending time with you is something I want.

I like you.

 

 

Thad:

Oh…

I like you too Cole

 

Absolute Cutie:

Oh good.

Then we can hang out.

 

Thad:

Yeah

Yeah I guess we can

When do you want to do this?

 

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’m free right now if you are.

 

Thad:

Oh, right now?

Sure, cool, no problem

Absolutely no big deal

Yeah sure yeah

 

Absolute Cutie:

Alright, I will come and

Pick you up in 15 minutes then

 

Thad:

Alddbf

Sorry

Yeah ok I’ll be ready then

Thank god for Super-speed

 

Absolute Cutie:

Did God give you Super-speed?

Does God create clones?

 

Thad:

Oh boy

Maybe let’s save the theology

Debate for later Colie

 

Absolute Cutie:

Sure, if you want.

See you soon.

Thad:

Yeah see you

Groupchat (Robins Support Group)

 

Child:

So

What’s our stance on spying

On friends and family

These days

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Never miss an opportunity to do it

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

What he said

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

It’s our God given right

 

 

 

Child:

Cool, just checking

So maybe I just stumbled upon two clones

Hanging out being cute at the mall

And maybe I’ve been following them for half an hour

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

OH MY GOD ARE THAD AND COLE ON A DATE

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

THEY TOTALLY ARE THAD IS IN DENIAL

They’re so cute Cole came by the house

To pick Thad up he was so nervous

The poor boy

When Cole asked if he was scared

Because they were going to be in public

He LIED TO HIS FACE and said that

Was the reason lmao

So Cole said he could hold his hand

If it helped

 

 

 

Child:

Can confirm they haven’t stopped holding hands

And Thad is fully red

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

NOOOOO THEYRE SO PRECIOUS I CANT

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

I gotta admit that’s fucking adorable

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Dami tell us EVERYTHING

 

 

Child:

Well first they went shopping

And every time Thad looked at something for

More than two seconds Cole just put it in their cart

Like he knew he’d never have the guts to do it

For himself

The cashier said they were cute together

I thought Thad was about to die

Cole just said thank you the precious bean

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

I can’t, I’m about to cry

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Cole has so much rizz tho

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Truly unparalleled

 

 

Child:

Now they’re eating corn dogs

And sitting on a park bench talking

STILL holding hands btw

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

We need to protect them

We need to purge the world from all

Evil right now

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Seriously you are such a dad

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

This is honestly the best thing

That’s happened in months

I missed witnessing puppy love

Even Dami and Jon are too grown now

 

 

Child:

Father still thinks I’m a baby though

He gets traumatized when I kiss Jonnie

For longer than ten seconds

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Kisses are cute!

He should be glad that’s all you’re doing!

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Who’s gonna tell him

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

We can’t do that to him

 

 

Child:

I mean

Whatever we say

He’s gonna stay in denial

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

In denial of what?

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Nothing sweetie

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Nothing at all

 

 

Child:

Kisses it is

Kisses and nothing else

Yup

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Exactly, you’re both cutie pies

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Dear Lord

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Anyway Dami spy on!

 

 

Child:

It’s gonna get difficult, they’re going to

Cole’s place

I can’t be that much of a stalker

Besides, I have a date soon

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Aw what are you cinnamon rolls doing this time?

 

Child:

I have no idea

Jonnie spent two hours

Scolding me yesterday cause I always plan

Our dates and never let him take care of me

So he said today was on him

All I had to do was show up and

I quote “look hot”.

 

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Damn this kid knows how to take charge

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

It’s a family trait

 

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Well I hope you have a wonderful time!

As for the rest of us

We should stop being invested

In other people’s love lives and go on

With our day

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Why though

It’s fun

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Like Jay said

 

 

Child:

Don’t you have lives?

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

They don’t, their boyfriends are all out together

Because Jason is letting Bruce and Alfred

Organize a forced wedding for them

So they had to go do some cake tasting

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

I’m starting to regret not putting a stop

To the madness

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

And I’m salty that

Alfred said I couldn’t come

Because I had no taste in cakes

 

 

Child:

He’s right though

Alright olds, I’ll leave you to your

Pathetic lives

See you all later

And as a dumb bitch once said

“You are all loved by me, your brother”

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Stop clowning me!

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Bye Dami have fun!

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Use protection!

 

Notes:

I CANT THEYRE SO CUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!!!!!!
I just want them to cuddle and hold hands forever they're just too pure for this world!!!!!

Hope you like it! x

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Don’t Answer:

You know I’m starting to think

The dating pool for us is really shallow

We all really need to stop dating

each other’s family members

 

 

Mini Sups:

Yeah it’s like there’s only

Three families available or something

 

Don’t Answer:

so

you’ve not committed homicide yet

 

Mini Sups:

Why does everyone think I’ll flip out

It’s not like they’ve done anything

Except holding hands in public

Apparently

Honestly it’s so pure it gives me

A headache

 

Don’t Answer:

Yeah they are particularly

Adorable

They don’t even realize it

 

Mini Sups:

Let’s give them time

To figure everything out

And please Lord keep them away from Jason

 

Don’t Answer:

I think it’s a bit too late for that

He’s literally their mentor at this point

 

Mini Sups:

I swear if he destroys their purity

I will open his grave back up

And put him back in it

 

 

Don’t Answer:

Just have Jaime threaten him

If he’s not too busy having

A whole wedding being planned

For him

 

Mini Sups:

He’s waiting for Jason to put a stop to it

I don’t think he realizes he’s not going to

And he will soon be Mr. Reyes-Todd

 

Don’t Answer:

I mean

There are worse fates

 

Mini Sups:

I’m a bit hurt

Bruce isn’t fighting for me and Bartie

To marry his son

 

Don’t Answer:

Jaime will always be the favorite

Deal with it

 

Mini Sups:

I don’t know what he has that we don’t

 

Don’t Answer:

Infinite patience mostly

 

Mini Sups:

True

Hey by the way

Did I hear correctly

That you and Dickie are

Talking about adopting?

 

Don’t Answer:

News travel fast I see

Yeah we’ve been discussing it

 

Mini Sups:

Is that something you want?

 

Don’t Answer:

I mean

It is yeah

It’s just

Complicated

 

Mini Sups:

In what way

 

Don’t Answer:

It’s just…

You know how my dad was growing up

What if I end up like him?

 

Mini Sups:

Idiot

 

Don’t Answer:

Thanks

 

Mini Sups:

Wally you’re already parenting like

Half this godforsaken extended family

And you’re doing a great job at it

Look how you took care of Bartie

From the age of 15

Look what you’re doing with Thad now

Not to mention you’ve been a great support

For Damian also

 

Don’t Answer:

I guess...

 

Mini Sups:

I know your father was shit

But he’s not the only influence you had

In your life anyway

To me you’ve always been Barry and Iris’ kid

More than anything

And they did a great job

They raised a great man

A hero

 

Don’t Answer:

You can’t say things like that Sups

 

Mini Sups:

It’s ok I know you’re a cry baby

Let it out

 

Don’t Answer:

I’m not a cry baby

And you got no proof

But thanks

I guess I’m just stressing out for nothing

 

Mini Sups:

I’ve been told it’s normal to feel

That way before having a child

 

Don’t Answer:

We’re still a long way

From adopting

It was just a few talks for now

Mini Sups:

It’s a start

In any case I can’t wait

To be uncle Kon

 

Don’t Answer:

Oh that’s the role you were born to play

 

Mini Sups:

Totally

I love kids

 

Don’t Answer:

You ever thought about having some yourself?

 

Mini Sups:

I don’t know

Haven’t really pondered that

I guess maybe yeah

One day in the future

I’m not really in a rush

Plus we’ve never really talked

About how being poly will

Affect our future

It’s not as straight forward you know

 

Don’t Answer:

Yeah I guess there’s a lot to think about

But you’ll find a way to have everything you

Want I’m sure

 

Mini Sups:

Worst case scenario

We can always make more clones

It’s worked out for us so far

 

Don’t Answer:

Yeaaah maybe rethink that one

 

Mini Sups:

Aw you don’t think

Little baby clones would be cute?

We can pull a Luthor

And mix our DNAs

No the more I think about it the more

I’m on board

 

Don’t Answer:

Your evil dad would be proud

 

Mini Sups:

I’m pretty sure he didn’t make clones as

An act of love though

 

Don’t Answer:

Who knows

In his own twisted way maybe

I mean he’s very obsessed with Superman

 

Mini Sups:

Don’t

I’m still trying to recover from the fact

Bruce had a crush on Clark

Don’t make me think about Lex having

One also

 

Don’t Answer:

You Kryptonians are a problem

 

Mini Sups:

You’re just jealous

 

Don’t Answer:

Don’t flatter yourself

Alright Kon, I have to go

Not that I don’t like talking to you

But I like spying on my little Thaddie

And his crush a lot more

 

 

Mini Sups:

Valid

Oh tell Thad I’m making lasagna tonight

And that Cole can come by if he wants

 

Don’t Answer:

What about me?

 

Mini Sups:

If you come then Dick’s gonna come,

Then Jason will be jealous and

will want to come with Jaime

Also and then he will bring Dami and Jon will

Call me a traitor and invite himself

 

Don’t Answer:

I don’t see the problem

 

Mini Sups:

Making lasagna for two speedsters,

Two semi-Kryptonians and a Tim

Is already hard enough

To make some for half a village of Superheroes

Is damn near impossible

And will bankrupt me

 

Don’t Answer:

You can’t use the bankrupt excuse anymore

Now that you’re a millionaire

 

Mini Sups:

It was good while it lasted

Still it’s so much work

 

Don’t Answer:

But Connie

I love your lasagna

 

Mini Sups:

No you don’t get to call me Connie

That’s a Bartie thing

Occasionally Timmy too when

He really wants something

 

Don’t Answer:

So cute

I still want lasagna though

 

Mini Sups:

Ugh fine

I’ll go back to the store and buy all the

Cheese they have I guess

 

Don’t Answer:

Yay!

I’m telling everyone!

 

Mini Sups:

I feel exploited

Notes:

Kon should just open a restaurant at this point lmao.

Chapter Text

Bichito:

Ok so

I think maybe

Things have gone to the point of no return

 

Future Hubby:

Huh?

 

Bichito:

Suit fitting

SUIT FITTING JASON

FOR A CUSTOM MADE TUX

THAT COSTS MORE THAN

THAN OUR YEARLY RENT

 

Future Hubby:

Oh yeah Alfie doesn’t play

With suits

 

Bichito:

Jason I don’t want to alarm you

But I think we’re getting married

 

Future Hubby:

Huh.

We are aren’t we

 

Bichito:

That’s it?

That’s all you have to say?

MARRIAGE JASON PETER TODD

 

Future Hubby:

Yeah I know

 

Bichito:

Why are you so calm

 

Future Hubby:

Probably cause I just realized I actually

Want to marry you

 

Bichito:

You… what

 

Future Hubby:

I mean we’ve joked about it enough

But maybe I was serious the whole time

 

Bichito:

… You

You want to

To marry me?

 

Future Hubby:

I mean only if you say yes

 

Bichito:

If I

Wait

 

Future Hubby:

Ideally I think I shouldn’t propose by text

 

Bichito:

… Jay what the hell

You can’t just

What

 

Future Hubby:

Breathe

 

Bichito:

You want to marry me

You want to spend your life with me

To commit to a lifetime of us

 

 

Future Hubby:

I mean I never thought there was any doubt

About that last part

 

Bichito:

You…

I guess you’re right

 

Future Hubby:

We don’t have to you know

I can tell Brucie and Alfred to stop

Their shenanigans

I had a lot of fun watching the chaos

Til now

 

Bichito:

No I

Actually

Actually I think that

Yeah

I think I want that too

 

Future Hubby:

Yeah?

 

Bichito:

Yeah

Let’s get married

 

Future Hubby:

Hell yeah!

Bichito:

But !

If it’s really our wedding

First of all I want to scale the whole thing down

I don’t care your dad is a billionaire

I’m not letting him

Bankroll a Royal level wedding

That’s crazy

AND!

You can’t avoid the planning

Anymore

You have to be as involved

As I have been forced to be

 

 

Future Hubby:

If I must

 

Bichito:

You do

Your turn to be tortured by your butler grandpa

 

 

Future Hubby:

The horror

See what I have to go through

Just because I love you?

 

Bichito:

My hero

 

Future Hubby:

Damn right

Btw I will propose properly

At some point

 

Bichito:

Not really necessary

But whatever floats your boat Tesoro

 

Future Hubby:

No it is

It really is

And I’ll go talk to your family

About all this

 

Bichito:

Oh damn my family

I need to explain to them

Why I have a wedding half planned

Already

Do you think telling them

It’s just rich people shit

Will be explanation enough?

 

Future Hubby:

I mean it’s worth a try

 

Bichito:

Yeah I guess

My mom is gonna flip out

I think she might become

Worse than Alfred

 

 

Future Hubby:

We’ll survive this

 

Bichito:

I admire your optimism

Aight ttyl baby

I still have a lot to do today

 

Future Hubby:

See you at home tonight

Love you

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

 

Hermano:

So

Best man?

 

 

El Barto:

Huh?

 

Hermano:

Best man

I need one of those

For

You know

My wedding

 

El Barto:

… Wait

 

Hermano:

Yeaaah turns out I’m actually getting married

Who would have thought huh

 

El Barto:

JAIME REYES

ARE YOU TELLING ME

BRUCIE WON

 

Hermano:

I guess so

Anyway best man?

 

El Barto:

Brennan Lee Mulligan no contest

 

Hermano:

Why are you like this

 

El Barto:

Name a better man

I’ll wait

 

Hermano:

STOP PRETENDING YOU DON’T KNOW

WHAT IM ASKING

 

El Barto:

THEN ACTUALLY ASK IT

 

Hermano:

FINE

Bartie will you be my best man?

 

El Barto:

Yeah of course

Can I brag to Timmy

That you chose me and not him?

 

Hermano:

If it makes you happy

 

El Barto:

It does

I love when the Robins take Ls

 

Hermano:

That’s literally your boyfriend

 

El Barto:

Yes, and?

 

Hermano:

Whatever

Now that’s over with

Spill

I heard rumors about your not so evil

Anymore brother having a crush

On little Colie?

 

El Barto:

Oh God don’t even get me started

They’ve been inseparable these days

The Robins keep spying on them

But they’re so captivated by each other they

Don’t even notice

 

Hermano:

Aw cute

You think it’s going anywhere?

 

El Barto:

I don’t know

Cole is hard to read

But either way I think

Thad likes things the way they are now

He’s been making a lot

Of progress

The nightmares have reduced by half at least

His healing factor is almost

Back to normal

And his speed is slowly but surely

Coming back

Physically he’s good

Mentally he’s better

And socially he’s great

All good things

 

 

Hermano:

It must be relieving for you

To be able to worry a little less

 

El Barto:

Yeah…

Not gonna lie the first few months

Were tough

 

Hermano:

You don’t say

 

El Barto:

But I don’t regret any of it

I’ve always wanted to be close to my brother

It was never gonna be easy

But it was worth it

 

Hermano:

That’s all that matters

I’ll come by some time this week

There’s this book

I said I’d lend Thad

Plus we need to talk

About wedding details

Cause I need you to convince

Bruce and Alfred to dial

The whole thing back

 

 

El Barto:

Oh good you’re giving me

The easy task

Really though do you know how hard

It is to make Bruce’s billionaire brain

Understand that he sometimes

Don’t have to spend a crapload of money?

 

Hermano:

If you can’t do it no one can

 

El Barto:

Sounds about right

Well

Just let me know when you come by

 

Hermano:

Yeah sure thing

Notes:

Chapter Text

Colie Bro:

Damian doesn’t want me to tell you

But he’s sad.

We lost one of the pups today.

 

Jon (Little Brother):

Oh no!

I’m picking him up after his shift

And taking care of this

Thank you Colie

 

Colie Bro:

You’re welcome.

I don’t like when he’s sad.

Plus there’s really nothing

We could have done.

He was really sick.

But Damian wouldn’t hear it.

 

Jon (Little Brother):

He doesn’t deal well with death

And he’s stubborn

I’ll handle it don’t worry

 

Colie Bro:

Good.

He’s been moping around

For about an hour.

 

Jon (Little Brother):

My poor baby

Only one and a half hour left yeah?

 

Colie Bro:

Indeed.

It’s been a long day

 

Jon (Little Brother):

I can imagine

Any plans tonight?

 

Colie Bro:

Well I was supposed to try

And fix my door once more.

The lock is broken again.

I don’t understand how it happens.

This time I haven’t done anything.

I mean the last three times

It was because I couldn’t

Control my strength,

But this time it was perfectly ok

When I left and broken when I got back.

 

 

 

Jon (Little Brother):

That doesn’t sound good

 

Colie Bro:

Maybe not.

Anyway I was going to look into that

But instead I think I’ll just

Go watch that time travel movie

 Bart has been raving about

With Thad.

He hasn’t seen it either.

He has a movie and tv show list just like I do.

 

 

Jon (Little Brother):

Aww movie date how cute

What movie are we talking about here?

 

Colie Bro:

I think it’s called Back to the Future?

I don’t know Bart talked so fast

When he was explaining.

I don’t really remember.

 

Jon (Little Brother):

Oh yeah classic!

I’m sure you’ll like it

You’ve been spending a lot of time

With Thad these days

Colie Bro:

That’s true

I like him, he’s very nice.

And also as weird as it sounds,

Even though we only met

Because of our brothers

It feels like for the first time

I’m making a friend based only on

Myself.

Maybe it’s because he only knows me as Cole

And never knew me when I was Match.

 

 

Jon (Little Brother):

Just like you never knew him as Inertia

I get it

You’re both starting fresh

For the first time

 

Colie Bro:

I guess.

It’s nice.

Sometimes I just send him pictures of Candle

For no reason

I don’t know why I do that

I usually don’t text anyone without

A reason

 

Jon (Little Brother):

First of all Pictures of Candle are

Reason enough, and I can’t believe you don’t

Text ME pictures more often

 

Colie Bro:

Oh sorry.

Here.

*picture attached*

*picture attached*

*picture attached*

*picture attached*

 

 

Jon (Little Brother):

That’s better

The last one omg is she sleeping on your head?

 

Colie Bro:

She likes it there.

I don’t know why.

 

Jon (Little Brother):

Probably because your hair is all soft

I got distracted, back to the point

You know you don’t need a reason to

Text people you like right?

Sometimes you just feel like talking

Because you’re bored or you miss them

It’s normal

 

Colie Bro:

Maybe.

But isn’t that pointless

If I have nothing interesting to say?

 

Jon (Little Brother):

Well, he always answers doesn’t he?

 

Colie Bro:

He does.

 

Jon (Little Brother):

Then maybe you don’t need

To have a topic in mind to be interesting

Maybe talking to you just to talk

Is good enough for him

 

Colie Bro:

Oh.

You think so?

 

Jon (Little Brother):

I do

Sometimes it’s not about what you say

But just the fact you’re the one saying it

If that makes sense

 

Colie Bro:

I think it does.

Thank you Jon.

 

Jon (Little Brother):

Anytime bro

It’s what I’m here fore

 

Colie Bro:

I’m glad I have you as a little brother.

You’re a lot smarter than I am.

 

Jon (Little Brother):

That’s absolutely untrue

You’re the smartest person I’ve ever met

You probably picked up more skills

In the past three years than I have my whole life

You do math FOR FUN

 

Colie Bro:

Math is fun sometimes

 

Jon (Little Brother):

No it truly isn’t

Also I’ve never met anyone

As perceptive as you

Even if you don’t always understand

Why something isn’t right you always

Know WHEN something isn’t right

There’s no one in this world

I trust the instincts of more

 

Colie Bro:

You really think I’m smart?

 

Jon (Little Brother):

You doubted it?

 

Colie Bro:

I don’t know.

I never thought about it.

I guess still trying

To understand so many things

Makes me feel dumb sometimes.

 

Jon (Little Brother):

Well that’s BS

You’re nowhere close to dumb

 

Colie Bro:

If you say so.

You never lie so

I guess that must be true.

Jon (Little Brother):

Exactly!

Ok I’ll see you after your shift

Give Damian a hug for me

In the meantime

 

Colie Bro:

I’m pretty sure he would kill me.

 

Jon (Little Brother):

Nah he’d let it slide

You’re his favorite brother in law

 

Colie Bro:

I’ll try I guess.

See you later Jon.

Chapter Text

Connie <3:

Hey, do you believe in soulmates?

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

You know I don’t

Why

 

Connie <3:

I’m just thinking

If even our clones fall in love

Maybe we’re actually soulmates

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

That makes zero sense

 

Connie <3:

I’m trying to be romantic

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Try that on Timmy

If anyone is your soulmate it’s him

Anyway

 

Connie <3:

I can have multiple soulmates

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Is that how soulmates work?

 

 

Connie <3:

Why wouldn’t it be?

Besides what would you know

You don’t even believe in them

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

I believe you choose who your soulmate is

Or soulmates as you pointed out

Falling in love is just the first step

Everything else is a choice

I choose to be with you and Tim

To fight for our happiness

Every day

So if you guys are my soulmates

It’s only because I made it so

Because we did it together

Nothing to do with fate or the gods

 

Connie <3:

Huh

Ok maybe that’s even more romantic

Than the idea of Fated Soulmates

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Of course it is

It’s not some fantasy

Straight out of bad

Romance novel

This is real life

Real life love is always more romantic

Because it comes from the truth

 

Connie <3:

It’s funny how you’re sometimes

The more rational one out of all

Three of us and yet you manage

To use that to your advantage

To make us swoon

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

It’s a gift

Besides, I can’t believe in fate

When my whole life has been built on

The idea that time can be rewritten

Only thing that makes me

Doubt that is Walls and Dickie

Cause if anyone is fated soulmates it’s them

 

 

 

Connie <3:

Really?

Not us but them?

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

If you find a world in the multiverse

When they’re not in each other’s life

I’ll retract my statement

 

Connie <3:

Fair enough

So not fated

But we are soulmates

That’s what you said

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

You just want to call me your soulmate

Don’t you

 

Connie <3:

Maybe

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

You can call me whatever you want

Connie <3

 

Connie <3:

Good <3

Now I just need to convince Tim

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Tim pretends he hates that sappy shit

Like he doesn’t have doodles

Of you guys getting married

On some old cases from when he was 16

 

Connie <3:

He does?

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Oh yeah totally

Really Brucie had a right to be mad at you

Timmy was a lost cause for a few

Years

 

Connie <3:

That’s so cute

Why is he so cute

I need to kiss him right now

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

That’s gonna have to wait

He’s doing God knows what

With Jason

I hope not getting themselves killed

 

Connie <3:

If it’s just the two of them

They’re probably getting themselves killed

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Yeah I know

I don’t know why I let them go

 

Connie <3:

Because you respect Timmy’s

Autonomy and skills

And his independence

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Yeah well

Maybe I should be more like you

 

Connie <3:

Hey, I’m making an effort

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Yes you are baby

I’m proud of you

 

Connie <3:

Does that mean I get a kiss

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

You really want kisses today

 

Connie <3:

Is that a crime?

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Not at all

I’ll come by HQ in an hour or so

We can hide in your old room

I’m still salty I never got to have

Sleepovers with you

In that room like Timmy did

Favoritism

 

Connie <3:

You just had to be a chronic insomniac

With a crippling addiction

To caffeine

Not my fault you were functional

And healthy

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Foiled by my self-care

Well still, we have to make

Up for lost times

 

Connie <3:

Whatever you want my love

It’s the least I can do

For my soulmate

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Ok maybe it does sound good

You know what?

Make that 30 minutes

 

Connie <3:

Yes!

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

Group Chat (Powerpuff Girls)

 

Blossom:

What have you guys been up to this time

I’m getting distressed signals from the rookies

Because Kon has disappeared and is

Late for their training

                           

Bubbles:

Damn those new kids are snitches

 

Buttercup:

Literally it’s been 5 minutes

Can’t they survive without me for five minutes?

 

Blossom:

No, they can’t, that’s why I

Left you in charge

They’re hopeless

 

Bubbles:

I’m starting to understand

Why Dami refused to join

And convinced Jonnie not to either

 

Buttercup:

Those punks

I’ll be with them in a minute

 

Blossom:

You didn’t answer my question

 

Bubbles:

Just soulmates stuff Timmy

Don’t worry about it

 

 

Buttercup:

Exactly what he said

 

Blossom:

What

 

 

Bubbles:

Kon and I talked and decided

We’re all soulmates now

Congrats

 

 

Buttercup:

It was an important step

In our relationship

 

Blossom:

I can’t

I can’t with your chaotic

Shenanigans today

I have to make sure Jay doesn’t

Blow up the place

 

 

Bubbles:

I knew you two would try and get yourselves killed!

 

 

Blossom:

Like I have any say in the matter!

Why do I get blamed for his poor decisions!

 

Bubbles:

You chose to follow him

That’s poor decision enough!

 

Buttercup:

Just focus on your mission babe

We’ll do more soulmates stuff

With you present later

Barite’s gonna help me

Teach those kids a lesson In the meantime

 

 

Bubbles:

No mercy for snitches

 

 

Buttercup:

It will do them good

 

Blossom:

Good

Don’t traumatize them too much

Later, love you both!

 

 

Bubbles:

Love you too Timmy

 

 

Buttercup:

Love you, don’t die

Notes:

THEY. ARE. SOULMATES. HEAR THAT
honestly Bart's thoughts on soulmates are totally my own. don't believe in destiny, never have. I do believe in choosing your own fate though.

Chapter Text

Hobbit:

Did you talk to Jaime

About what we found

 

Asshole:

Yeah of course I did

I promised never to hide

Anything Reach related from him again

 

Hobbit:

Good

So, the Light is back in action

With the Rogue Reach agents in toe

What do they want do you think

 

Asshole:

I’m not sure but I don’t like it

Hey, did any of you check on Luthor

Lately?

 

Hobbit:

You know I always make sure

To know what he’s up to

He’s been suspiciously quiet

These days

Ever since his dealings with Cadmus

Have been exposed he’s been laying low

But he’s not one to quit

So I’m guessing he’s

Looking for a way to get back on top

 

 

Asshole:

Keep track of him

I think I’ll pay good ole Ra’s a visit

 

Hobbit:

Nope

Not a good idea

 

Asshole:

You know he’s probably involved

 

Hobbit:

Yeah, and I know you getting involved with

The League of Assassins again is a bad idea

Besides, we shouldn’t renew

His interest in our family

Dams doesn’t need that right now

Let’s focus on our current

Provable enemies

 

Asshole:

Fine

But if I hear anything about the

League Of Assassins being involved

I’m going

 

Hobbit:

If you must

I have a strange feeling

Like maybe we’re looking at all this

In the wrong angle

Like something obvious is

Escaping us

 

Asshole:

Yeah, the motive

I mean for the Rogue Reach agents

It’s clear, they want revenge

But what is the Light trying to do

Is it all of them, or just a few of them

Teaming up

And why now

 

Hobbit:

I’d be less stressed if I had an operational

Team under control

At least I have Blue and Cassie back

 

 

Asshole:

Your new recruits are giving you a hard time

I hear

 

Hobbit:

I’m regretting

Letting Dick leave now

 

Asshole:

Hey, he knew he left the whole

Operation in good hands

You’re just as capable as he was

Plus you know you can

Call any of us for back up when needed

Well maybe not me

Apparently I’m intimidating

 

Hobbit:

You have the worst reputation

 

Asshole:

I thought people liked bad boys

But anyway

If everything else fails

Just invite Dami and Jon

To visit just so you can shame your

Recruits by example

They make a good duo after all

 

Hobbit:

It would take some convincing

Damian hates everything to do with the team

 

Asshole:

He’s getting more mature these days

Maybe he’ll change his mind

At least for a few missions

 

Hobbit:

I guess it doesn’t cost

Anything to ask

Plus that way I’ll be able to catch up

With him

I haven’t been a good brother these days

 

Asshole:

I’m sure he doesn’t hold it against you

You have a lot on your plate

Besides he’s pretty busy too

With all the volunteering he’s been

Doing

 

Hobbit:

Oh yeah I heard about that

Who would have thought

 

Asshole:

Tbh it’s not that surprising

He likes pets more than humans

I can’t really blame him

 

Hobbit:

Yeah true

I’ll go over to the manor

This evening and talk to him

 

Asshole:

Good

Unrelated, but how’s your

Roommate-in-law

 

Hobbit:

Thad is.. ok I think

I don’t know he looks worried

Which in turn makes all of us worried

 

Asshole:

Yeah I had a feeling

He’s been sayins some weird shit

 

Hobbit:

The suicidal kind?

 

Asshole:

No, nothing like that

He just said something about

People watching and lurking

He didn’t really elaborate

Just said he had to keep an eye

On Cole

 

Hobbit:

On Cole?

I see

Maybe I should talk to Thad

 

Asshole:

Yeah, but I don’t think he’ll say

Anything more

He sounded like he was scared he

Was losing his mind and being paranoid

 

Hobbit:

Yeah, he has a hard time trusting

He’s being sane

It had gotten better since

 the nightmares diminished

But maybe they’re back

I’ll check with Bartie

If he knows anything

 

 

Asshole:

You do that

I have to go, me and Jaime’s mom are

Accompanying Milagro to shop for a

Prom dress

Apparently I have “an eye for fashion”

Whatever that means

Jaime is livid cause she banned him cause he

“has no taste”

 

Hobbit:

That’s what he gets

Good on Milagro

Have fun

Keep me posted if you learn anything

 

Asshole:

Yeah, same goes for you Tiny

what is happening... tune in to find out!

Chapter Text

Kon Bro:

Jon

Where are you

 

Jonnie:

Huh?

Just got out of school why

 

Kon Bro:

Go home right now

And stay there

Don’t you dare move

 

Jonnie:

What’s happening?

 

Kon Bro:

Just do as you’re told for once!

 

Jonnie:

Wow calm down yeah?

Tell me what’s wrong

 

Kon Bro:

Cole’s been attacked

 

Jonnie:

WHAT?!

 

Kon Bro:

Bruce will come by your house

To explain everything

And make sure you and Clark don’t move until

We know you’re not next on their list

They have kryptonite

 

 

Jonnie:

Like hell I’m staying home!

Where’s Cole? Is he at yours?

I’m coming!

 

Kon Bro:

Don’t you dare !

Jon, we already have so much

On our plates

I don’t need to be worried about the both of you

At the same time!

 

 

Jonnie:

But it’s Cole!

 

Kon Bro:

Yeah, and I got him ok?

I got him

And the moment we know it’s safe

I promise you can come and see him

But right now you need to be safe

I need you all to be safe

 

Jonnie:

What about you?

 

Kon Bro:

Don’t worry, I’ve been

Benched too

Me and Thad both

 

Jonnie:

Thad ?

 

Kon Bro:

He’s the one who saved Cole

 

Jonnie:

What the hell happened

At least tell me that

 

Kon Bro:

Fine

Apparently someone

(We’re thinking Cadmus)

Hired people to stalk Cole

I think they were trying to ascertain if

They’d be able to put him

Under mind control again

It’s been going on for weeks now

Maybe even months

And I think they got to the conclusion

That it wouldn’t be worth it

And they’d better just eliminate him

So they ambushed him at his place today

With kryptonite

 

 

 

 

Jonnie:

… this has Luthor written

All over it

 

Kon Bro:

Yeah probably

It doesn’t really matter for now

All that matters is Cole’s safety

 

Jonnie:

Yeah…

How did Thad know?

 

Kon Bro:

He was suspecting something

Cole would casually talk

About feeling like he was

Being followed

When they saw each other

And Thad started paying attention

And then today he was

In the middle of a texting convo

With Cole when he suddenly

Stopped answering

Cole always gives warning

So after ten minutes

Thad got worried

And it was enough for him

To take off

 

Jonnie:

Thank God…

 

Kon Bro:

Yeah

Thad doesn’t really use

His powers that much these days

So we thought this was strange

Tim tracked him down

And we went after him

After realizing he was at Cole’s

When we got there

The assailants were

Taken care of and he was trying to revive Cole

It…

It was not an easy sight to see

 

 

Jonnie:

But…

But he’s ok now right?

He’s gonna make it?

 

Kon Bro:

Yeah… he’s tough

He just needs to rest a bit

The worst is behind us

 

Jonnie:

And… the attackers?

 

Kon Bro:

Well

None of them are dead at least

 

 

Jonnie:

A shame

 

Kon Bro:

Not for Thad

He’s making progress

Going on a killing rampage

No matter the reason

Would have done damage

To his psyche

He did maim them pretty bad though

But I think he was more

Focused on helping Cole as soon as possible

 

Jonnie:

That’s good

Thank him for me will you?

 

Kon Bro:

Yeah I will

He’s not doing well

Hasn’t said a word since we came back

Didn’t even protest

When Bart told him

He couldn’t leave home

 

Jonnie:

I see…

Dad is not taking it well either

Thank God mom is here

So she can make him see reason

 

Kon Bro:

Just tell him Bruce

Will be there soon

And that we have the rest covered

We need to make sure

There aren’t anymore

Lunatics hell bent on killing

Kryptonians about

If they were monitoring Cole

They know about you

You’re at his place every week

 

Jonnie:

True…

Oh no the shelter!

Did you call Damian?

 

Kon Bro:

Yeah don’t worry

He’s ok

He’ll call you later

His brothers need him for this one

 

Jonnie:

Fine…

Just take care, all of you

Being away from it all is

Unbearable

 

Kon Bro:

I know how you feel

If I listened to myself

I’d be in Lex’s office tearing

Him apart limb from limb right now

I might not have proof but I KNOW

He’s behind this somehow

 

Jonnie:

I’d be right there with you

It’s so frustrating

What do all our powers amount to

If every time this damn rock

Appears we just can’t function anymore?

 

Kon Bro:

We really need to make

Kryptonite rare again

Just raid everyone we know has some

And just send a whole

Shipment to the sun or something

 

Jonnie:

Good idea

 

Kon Bro:

I’ll call you the moment

I get the all clear

I’m gonna try to make Thad eat something

He’s exhausted himself

And hasn’t gotten any food since

 

 

Jonnie:

Yeah, make sure he’s ok

I’ll be waiting for your call

 

Notes:

Nooooo Colie! I'm so sorry to have done this to my boy for real! I swear it's gonna get better for him!

Next Chapter: Thad's thoughts

Thad struggles with the rage the attack awakened in him, and deals with other feelings as well.

Chapter Text

Spare Parts:

Kon says you refuse to eat

 

Fast And Furious:

Not hungry

Did you find anything

 

Spare Parts:

We’re making progress

Don’t change the subject

 

Fast And Furious:

I told you I’m not hungry

 

Spare Parts:

Try again, without lying this time

 

Fast And Furious:

Fine

I’m starving, but if I eat

Anything I’m gonna throw up anyway

I feel fucking nauseous

 

Spare Parts:

Just try a little bit

Even just some toast

And some hot tea

 

Fast And Furious:

Whatever

 

Spare Parts:

Talk to me

You’re obviously spiraling

 

Fast And Furious:

It doesn’t matter right now

Focus on finding the bastards

Responsible

 

Spare Parts:

I told you, we’re working on it

But I’m worried about you

 

Fast And Furious:

You shouldn’t be

I’m fine

 

Spare Parts:

You’re not

Look, I get it

It’s never easy seeing someone

We care about hurt

 

 

Fast And Furious:

It’s not

I mean of course I’m pissed off

And worried about Cole

But that’s not why I

Just forget it

 

Spare Parts:

We don’t hide things from each other Thad

That was the deal

Tell me

 

Fast And Furious:

… I would have killed them

 

Spare Parts:

The attackers?

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah

 

Spare Parts:

You came close, but you stopped yourself

 

Fast And Furious:

No I didn’t

I only stopped because I had to get rid of

The Kryptonite and help Cole

But then I would have finished the job

If you hadn’t gotten there

It’s not a question of wondering if I would have

I know I would

Because right now I still want to

 

Spare Parts:

Well, good thing we did show up then

 

Fast And Furious:

That’s it?

I tell you I have murderous

Intent and that’s all you have to

Say?

 

Spare Parts:

I mean to be fair

Those weren’t really nice people

 

Fast And Furious:

Doesn’t matter

 

Spare Parts:

You think you’re the first person

To think of crossing

The line when a loved one is involved?

We won’t crucify you

For a mistake you didn’t even get to make

 

Fast And Furious:

What if it happens again?

What if next time someone

I care about gets attacked

I can’t help myself?

 

Spare Parts:

You’re feeling guilty

Right now

Hold on to that guilt

That’s what separates you from

Those guys

That means there is good in you

And that’s what you need to learn

From today

Being good isn’t a trait

It’s a choice

A choice you want to make

 

Fast And Furious:

You think so?

 

Spare Parts:

I know so

Today, you didn’t take

Any lives

But you did save one

And the one you saved was worth

So much

Do you realize that?

You saved Cole

And everyone is grateful

 

Fast And Furious:

I had to…

He’s

He’s so important to me

He’s the first person I ever met

That made me feel like I was…

Someone

Not just a clone

Or even just a brother, no offense

 

Spare Parts:

None taken

It’s all part of your process

I know even though I’d like

To help you every step of the way

I can’t be the only person

To add to your world

All I can do is share mine

With you

But trust me, I understand

What it’s like to feel like

You’re only good for hand me downs

It took me a while to get out

Of Gramps and Walls’ shadows

That’s why even though

I loved being Kid Flash

Impulse means so much to me

It’s MY thing, you see what I mean?

 

Fast And Furious:

I do yes

 

Spare Parts:

Anyway, I understand

Why Cole is important to you

Plus he’s just a gem in general

 

Fast And Furious:

He is…

Bartie?

 

Spare Parts:

Yeah Thad?

 

Fast And Furious:

You know don’t you?

 

Spare Parts:

I do

 

Fast And Furious:

Huh

 

Spare Parts:

It’s ok

You don’t have to say it

Out loud yet if you’re not ready

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah…

But I guess if you know

You’re not the only one

 

Spare Parts:

I mean

There is a pattern

And we’re getting pretty good

At recognizing it

 

Fast And Furious:

I guess…

 

Spare Parts:

You’ll get there eventually

Don’t worry about it

Now go eat something

 

Fast And Furious:

Fine

You’re such a mother hen

Sometimes

 

Spare Parts:

I’m a big brother, actually

 

Fast And Furious:

Pfft

Thanks Bartie

I love you

 

Spare Parts:

First time you say it first

I love you too baby bro

 

Fast And Furious:

We’re the same age

 

Spare Parts:

That’s absolutely

False on so many levels

 

Fast And Furious:

I’m not arguing with you today

I’ll go eat a bit

Then I’ll go back to keeping

 Cole company

I don’t want him to be alone

When he wakes up

 

Spare Parts:

Alright, but don’t forget

To take care of yourself

And get some sleep

Have Kon put the

Comfy armchair in

Cole’s room

So you ca be comfortable

 

Fast And Furious:

Not gonna be able to sleep anyway

 

Spare Parts:

You can at least relax a bit like this

 

Fast And Furious:

If you say so

Tell me if you find anything

 

Spare Parts :

Will do

Notes:

Bartie is a top tier big brother fr! Thad is lucky to have him!

Next Chapter: the Superbros get to chat

Chapter 22: Cole's Brothers

Summary:

Cole's brothers make sure he's doing ok after everything that happened, and try to give him advice.

Notes:

Hi!
so! Chapter 22 already: how time flies! Bad News, I haven't written anything for this fic since I wrote chapter 30. I'm currently on a small trip to my aunt's so I might take some time to write a bunch of chapters so I don't run out, but if I haven't written anything when I publish chapter 25, I'll slow the updates for a while. I want to finish act 3 at least before uploading chapter 30.
In the meantime, hope you enjoy! x

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Groupchat (Superbros)

 

The Baby:

Hey Coliiiie

I bought you a lot of snacks!

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

That is very nice Jon, thank you.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Do you think I don’t feed him or

something

 

The Baby:

Let me show my recovering brother

Some love!

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I feel very loved if it helps.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

As you should

When are you coming Jonnie?

 

The Baby:

In an hour probably

I took your shift

At the shelter btw Colie

Cheryl said they were short staffed

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Oh thank you.

I was worried about that.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Don’t thank him

He had an excuse to be with his

Boyfriend all day

 

 

The Baby:

This is slander

I did it for my big bro!

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Sure you did

 

Is actually the Oldest :

It can be both.

Besides Damian probably needed

The company

 

 

The Baby:

Exactly!

Anyway we’re almost

Done so we’ll both be

Coming to say hi!

Oh I also bought snacks

For Thad!

I asked Bartie for all his favorites

 

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

He’ll be very grateful I’m sure.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

How come I don’t get snacks?

 

The Baby:

You’re so entitled

(I did buy a pack of oreos for you though)

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

I love you

 

Is actually the Oldest :

He just finished his last one again.

He’s been stress eating for a week.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Hey!

Don’t expose me like that!

 

 

The Baby:

Too late

You’re lucky you have

A super-metabolism

That’s a recipe for diabetes

 

Is actually the Oldest :

And then he tells me to

Eat my vegetables.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Stop ganging up on me

 

The Baby:

Never

Oh btw Kon the shelter just

Got some new puppies

I know you were thinking of getting

some

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Oh no I missed the birth.

I promised Fiona I’d be there.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Who’s Fiona

 

 

The Baby:

The mom

He’s talking about the mom doggo

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

You promised a dog you’d

Assist to them giving birth?

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Well yes.

She was very worried.

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Unbelievable

 

The Baby:

Anyway I told Cheryl about you

She said you can come visit when they don’t

Look like little rats anymore

There’s five of them

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Nice, I’ll do that

Now to convince Timmy we need five pups

 

The Baby:

I was thinking you would choose one or two

You know not take all five

 

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Yes, it seems a little excessive.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Shush

 

 

The Baby:

You don’t have time for five

Puppies Kon

Be reasonable

 

Is actually the Oldest :

He’s right

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Ugh fine!

Since you’re so hell-bent

On separating a family!

 

 

The Baby:

You’re insufferable

Hey how’s Candle btw?

Is actually the Oldest :

She’s good.

She’s still a little on guard,

But she adapted to her new environment

Fairly well.

She’s currently on Thad’s lap

Getting her scratches.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

I don’t know why she likes him more than me

 

 

The Baby:

He’s more of a cat person than you

Are probably

Plus he’s her human’s favorite person

 

Is actually the Oldest :

That’s true.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Hey!

I’m your big brother, I’m supposed

To be your favorite person!

 

 

The Baby:

If it had to be one of his brothers

It would be me

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I love you both.

Thad is just different.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Yeah yeah we know

Since he saved your life I can’t even

Say anything right now

 

 

The Baby:

Yeah he earned the favorite spot

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I wish he didn’t have to do that.

He’s not doing great now

And it’s my fault.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Colie none of it is your fault

You didn’t chose to get attacked

 

 

The Baby:

Yeah, don’t blame yourself.

 

Is actually the Oldest :

But I should have been more careful.

I knew something wasn’t right.

I think I wanted to believe nothing

Was happening because

I didn’t want to have to think

The life I built could be taken from me.

 

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

I think it’s valid

It’s unfair that they’d come

And ruin your life again

But we’re not letting them win

Things may have crumbled

A bit but the foundations of all you’ve

Built are solid and they’re still there

 

 

The Baby:

What he said

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Maybe.

It doesn’t change the fact that

Thad isn’t feeling good.

I don’t know how to help

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

You’re already helping

He’s got a lot on his mind

One of those things is the fact

He nearly lost you

But you’re still here

You’re still breathing and trust me it helps

When he closes his eyes the nightmares

Take over and he might imagine

The worst has happened

But you know what makes it all better?

Waking up and seeing you’re ok

 

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

You think so?

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

I know so

I’m not a stranger

To that type of nightmares

Hell I even got some the first three

Days after your attack

 

The Baby:

I didn’t

But mostly cause I couldn’t sleep

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I’m sorry.

I didn’t mean to hurt you guys either

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

It’s alright Colie

Everything will be fine with time

For us and for Thad

 

 

The Baby:

He just needs lots of hugs

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Oh, that’s a good idea

 

The Baby:

Course it is

I’m an expert

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

You’re a meddler is what you are

 

The Baby:

I don’t know what you mean 😇

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I don’t get it,

What is Jon meddling with

Exactly?

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Your love life basically

 

The Baby:

I am merely suggesting

He provides physical comfort

To his best friend

 

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Love life?

What do you mean?

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Oh Boy I fucked up

 

The Baby:

Yeah you did

You have the subtlety of a raging

gorilla.

Is actually the Oldest :

What’s going on?

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Just a sec Cole lemme try

And find a way to explain

 

 

The Baby:

He means he’s gonna beg Bartie for help

Probably

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

He’s not here, I have to resort

To asking Tim

 

The Baby:

Oh it’s getting worse by the minute

Is actually the Oldest :

I’m a bit worried

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Don’t be

Ok so um

It has come to our attention that

The relationship you have with

Thad is a bit um…

Well you guys are close

 

The Baby:

Very close

 

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Yes?

I still don’t get the issue

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

There’ no issue per say

It’s just

Well

Let’s try it another way

What do you think of Thad?

 

Is actually the Oldest :

What do I think of him?

It’s a strange question.

I think he’s amazing.

I like talking to him

And I never run out of things to say.

But also I could just listen to him

For hours because he’s fascinating.

And sometimes I just like being

With him even if we don’t talk or

Do anything.

I just like him, and I always

Want to spend time with him.

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Yeah… well um

It’s kinda

Like

 

 

The Baby:

That’s basically what I feel about Dami

Is actually the Oldest :

Oh, that makes sense

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

It does?

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Well yes.

He loves Damian so much.

Of course he’d feel that way.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

… Colie

 

The Baby:

It’s ok he’s gonna get it on his own

Just you wait

Hey Colie, is that how love

Manifests do you think

 

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I guess so.

I mean I’ve been told it’s different

From person to person.

But I’m sure some things are universal.

 

 

The Baby:

So

If we do the math

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I thought you hated math.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

It’s a figure of speech

 

The Baby:

Yeah you won’t catch me

doing actual math

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Oh, I get it.

What kind of metaphorical math?

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

The kind where you take

The applicability of your thoughts

About Thad to Jon’s own thoughts

About his boyfriend and come to

A conclusion I think

 

 

The Baby:

Yup

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Oh, ok.

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

And?

Any findings?

 

 

The Baby:

Be patient Kon

 

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Is it applicable because I love Thad?

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Bingo!

 

 

The Baby:

You got it on your own!

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I mean I already knew that.

But thanks.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Wait

You did?!

 

 

The Baby:

Damn even I’m shocked

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Yeah of course.

It wasn’t hard to guess to be honest.

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

I…

To think I was sure

You had no clue

 

 

The Baby:

Maybe Cole is the only

Non-oblivious one out of all

Of us

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I just try to always understand

My own feelings

It’s better to cope with them

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

I see

That’s really fucking based actually

 

 

The Baby:

True

What are you gonna do about it though

 

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Should I do something?

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

I mean you don’t have to

 

 

The Baby:

But maybe you want to

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Maybe.

I think I need to wait.

Thad needs time I think.

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Yeah, you’re not wrong

 

 

The Baby:

You really are the smartest man I ever met

Seriously

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Thanks Jonnie.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Don’t hesitate to ask

If you need any advice

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.

Although Jason already

Gave me a ton of those.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

….

 

 

The Baby:

Here we go again

 

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I don’t know what you have against Jason.

He’s really nice.

And good at advice.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

He’s corrupting you!

 

The Baby:

He can sometimes be very

Insightful though

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Exactly.

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Hmpf

If you say so

Still be careful

And take what he says

With a grain of salt

ESPECIALLY if he mentions sex

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Oh he does that often

It’s educational

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

No it’s NOT

 

The Baby:

Dickie’s better at the sex talk btw

Just so you know

He’s got slides and everything

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Oh good to know

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Yeah he’s a better choice

Wait Jonnie how do you know that?

 

The Baby:

Who me? 😇

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

You’re on thin ice Jonathan!

I’m gonna have a serious talk

With Damian when he gets here!

 

 

The Baby:

The poor baby don’t traumatize him

Besides as Cole said

It’s educational

Sex ed is important

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Information is always

Important on any subject.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Ugh

Fine

But I’m watching you two!

 

 

The Baby:

I was starting to miss

Overprotective Kon

You’ve been so calm and

Rational lately

 

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

It’s true, you’ve grown

A lot

But it is funny when you’re

Unreasonable

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Thanks? I guess?

 

 

The Baby:

Anyway shift’s almost over

I’ll see you guys soon

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Great, See you soon Jonnie.

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Yeah see you and your

Sneaky little boyfriend

Notes:

ehbriobeorzf COLE IS SO SMART I LOVE HIM! I also love how supportive and patient his brothers are, even though they were a bit misguided this time lmao, my boy didn't need anyone to explain what he felt to him, iconic.

Chapter Text

Chicken Little:

Hey quick question

That absolutely has

Nothing to do with any

Wedding preparations at all

How’d you and Jay actually

Become friends?

You never did tell us

The whole story

 

A Bug’s Life:

When did you get so unsubtle

Seriously Timmy

 

Chicken Little:

Shsh

Just answer the question

 

A Bug’s Life:

If I must

Well it was during that

Weird period when he wasn’t

As hell-bent on revenge

Anymore but his life

Hadn’t exactly gotten back on track yet

One day I was just at

The coffee shop next to my campus

And he showed up

Thought it was either a coincidence

Or he was here to kill me for

Some reason

I don’t know I figured since I was friends

With you it was a possibility

 

 

Chicken Little:

You’re so dramatic

 

A Bug’s Life:

Says you

Anyway he just sat at my table

So I ruled out the coincidence

And just hoped he’d make it quick

Cause that week was already killing

Me anyway

I told him as much and he just laughed

Said I was cute and then slid a case file

Towards me and said that

Any info I had on that

Villain would be appreciated

I didn’t have much, but I just

Told him what I knew

And he smiled which

At the time I found a little strange

And uncanny

Then he said thanks, paid for

My coffee and left

 

Chicken Little:

Ugh he would

What a show off

 

A Bug’s Life:

Don’t be like that

It was nice

I mean at the time I was mostly confused

At the whole interaction

But anyway I went about my day

 

Chicken Little:

And then?

 

A Bug’s Life:

Then three days later he just came back

Said the case was closed

And that he owed me another drink

I told him it was ok but he insisted

Then he just started asking me

Casual things

And honestly I didn’t know

What was happening but I just answered

By the time I got back to my senses

We’d been talking for an hour and a half

 

Chicken Little:

Damn I can’t knock the hustle

 

A Bug’s Life:

Yeah he’s really good

At making someone take

Their guard down somehow

 

 

Chicken Little:

Who knew

 

A Bug’s Life:

Anyway after that he asked for my number

And I gave it to him

Cause I thought he wanted it

In case he needed something else

For a case

 

Chicken Little:

Dude

 

A Bug’s Life:

Ok in my defense

At the time dating was

The last thing on my mind

It had been a year since I even had been

On any date

I didn’t really pick up on the signs

Since I wasn’t looking for them

 

Chicken Little:

I guess that’s valid

 

A Bug’s Life:

So we started texting occasionally

And then it got more regular

Next thing I knew we were arguing

About Star Wars OG trilogy vs Prequels

And I had invited him for a marathon

Impossible to get rid of him after that

I mean I’m guessing he already knew

My address but the moment

I invited him to mine

He took it as an invitation

To show up whenever and force me

To be a healthy human being

Which was ironic

 

Chicken Little:

In a way it also forced him to be healthier also

 

A Bug’s Life:

Probably

So at that point I did realize he was flirting

Because I’m not blind

And he was laying it on thick

But I didn’t really know what he

Was looking for

Plus he wasn’t my usual type

 

Chicken Little:

Oh trust me, I remember

You telling me you didn’t date

Bad boys because and I quote

“Mama didn’t raise no dumb dumb”

 

A Bug’s Life:

Look, the heart wants what it wants

Plus I’m only human

When a hot guy flirts with me

I’m bound to feel something

And the flirting never stopped

Like he physically

Had to flirt with me every chance he got

 

Chicken Little:

Doesn’t surprise me

 

A Bug’s Life:

So I was confused for a while

More confusing was the fact I never

Once told him to stop

And then I started flirting back

Between faking being annoyed

And internally screaming

Because of gay panic

 

Chicken Little:

We’ve all been there

Even me

 

A Bug’s Life:

Especially you you mean

 

Chicken Little:

Shut up

 

A Bug’s Life:

Anyway you know the rest

At some point he kissed me

I kissed back

And I realized I had actually been

Dating him this whole time

 

Chicken Little:

The funniest shit still to this day

 

A Bug’s Life:

He could have said something to be fair

 

Chicken Little:

It’s Jay we’re talking about

Of course he didn’t

 

A Bug’s Life:

Yeah I know

Anyway do you have what you needed?

 

Chicken Little:

I think so

Thanks for the story time

It was very entertaining

 

A Bug’s Life:

You’re welcome

I’d ask you for your love story but I know every

Single detail from all three sides

 

Chicken Little:

And you mocked me the whole time

 

A Bug’s Life:

You were a disaster

Hey I need to confess something

 

Chicken Little:

What?

 

A Bug’s Life:

I knew Kon liked you like

A month before leaving the team

 

Chicken Little:

You did?

 

A Bug’s Life:

It’s a long story that involved

Him spiraling out of control

Because of the Scooby Gang and

Wondering if/when he’d get a crush on me

Still not clear on that

 

Chicken Little:

I… what

 

A Bug’s Life:

Don’t worry about it

I’m sorry I never told you

 

Chicken Little:

I’m sure you had a good reason

 

A Bug’s Life:

Well kinda

First, I told Kon he should talk to you

About it

 

Chicken Little:

And he said no way I presume

 

A Bug’s Life:

Yup

But I could have done more

I didn’t because

Well

I knew Bart had fallen for you by then

 

Chicken Little:

Ah

 

A Bug’s Life:

Yeah

It was selfish of me I know

But having broken his heart

Only 8 month prior

I didn’t want to enable you

To break it again in turn

Plus I thought you’d figure it out

Eventually without my help

I did not expect it to take

Years though

 

Chicken Little:

You underestimated how dumb we were

 

A Bug’s Life:

Yeah I guess

Anyway I’m sorry

I wasn’t a very good friend

 

Chicken Little:

I don’t think you did anything wrong

You looked out for Bartie

The rest was on us

Who knows if things

Would have worked out the way they did

If you had said something

I wouldn’t want it any other way

 

A Bug’s Life:

Yeah I guess everything was for the best

In the end

 

Chicken Little:

Besides I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have

Believed you

That plus I wasn’t ready for

A relationship at the time

As shown by my multiple failed ones

The years that followed

A Bug’s Life:

Maybe

It’s funny how things turned out though

Makes you wonder what would

Have happened if any of us made

A slightly different choice

 

 

Chicken Little:

I usually don’t dwell on that

Especially not since getting to know

Thad

 

A Bug’s Life:

Yeah I don’t blame you

 

Chicken Little:

I am curious about what you said

About Kon though

 

A Bug’s Life:

Lmao poor guy

He was going through some shit that day

Threatened me with falling in love with me

The mad man

 

Chicken Little:

Yeah it’s not getting clearer

 

A Bug’s Life:

You’re jealous aren’t you

 

Chicken Little:

You get to date one love of my life

Not both

 

A Bug’s Life:

Fair enough

Don’t worry I’m very happy with your brother

And do not wish to partake

In your polycule

 

Chicken Little:

Your loss

We could’ve had it all

 

A Bug’s Life:

In another life maybe

 

Chicken Little:

Yeah who knows

 

A Bug’s Life:

God Damn it not again

 

Chicken Little:

What

 

A Bug’s Life:

Can I be a widower before marriage?

 

Chicken Little:

What did Jason do again

 

A Bug’s Life:

Why did Damian indoctrinate

Him to pop music?

Does he know what hell he

Created for me?

 

Chicken Little:

Which song

 

A Bug’s Life:

Bed Chem by Sabrina Carpenter

He plays it 10 times a day

And wiggles his eyebrows at me

The whole time

That absolute goofball

It’s not sexy and he knows it

 

Chicken Little:

How many times has it worked

 

A Bug’s Life:

… Don’t judge me

 

Chicken Little:

Oh I am judging you

Very much so

Just play Please Please Please

To counter balance

So he knows to behave

 

A Bug’s Life:

Honestly good call

Aight gtg deal with this now

 

Chicken Little:

Good Luck Blue

Stay firm

Notes:

Jaime casually living a romcom is what he deserves ! also I can't with Jason, he keeps finding the weirdest ways to seduce him he's so random and chaotic and he won"'t let him rest lmao

Next Chapter: Damian is not scared of being ridiculously romantic

Chapter Text

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Hey

You know you don’t have to right

 

Dami <3:

Babe

For the last time

I’m not forcing myself to take you to prom

I want to

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

You sure?

You hate that stuff

 

Dami <3:

Yeah, but I love you

Plus I can’t let your friends

Think you’re lying about your boyfriend

Next thing you know they’re gonna

Try to set you up with someone

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

You’re so silly

They liked your promposal btw

They said you were unreal

I think they were a bit jealous

 

 

Dami <3:

Your friends have taste

But I’m mostly concerned with

Whether you liked it or not

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

I told you a hundred times

I loved it and I was serious

You put so much cheesiness and sap into it

I bet you cringed the whole time you were

Preparing it

 

Dami <3:

Hm, yeah I did

But it was worth it

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

You’ve been going the extra mile

These days

What’s happening

 

Dami <3:

Can’t I just be wanting

To spoil you?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

I mean yes but that’s not it

Is it

 

Dami <3:

Hm

I just realize we’re almost 18

And I never really took advantage

Of being a teenager as much

As I wanted to

It’s part of that whole

“Getting to know Damian”

Thing Jason told me to do

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

I see

And does Damian feel like going to

Prom with his boyfriend?

 

Dami <3:

I think he does

We’re growing up

Soon you’ll be in college

And I’ll be

I don’t even know yet

But right now we’re just

Us, I guess

And I feel like we shouldn’t take that

For granted

Before we have to be adults

And all that crap

Let’s just be kids

And do kids stuff like prom

And cute dates

And being cringe

 

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

I like this side of you

I mean I like all sides of you

But this one is new and I like it

 

Dami <3:

Yeah? Good

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

You know my mom is gonna take

Hundreds of pictures of us right

 

Dami <3:

Yeah I figured

I’m mentally prepared

I’ve even been practicing my smile

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Aw I can’t wait to see that

 

Dami <3:

You just want to make fun

Of me

You know how bad I am

At smiling on command

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Yeah but it’s cute!

You’re the cutest

 

Dami <3:

Pretty sure that’s you but ok

Hey wanna go on a stake out with me tonight?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Depends

Is your dad here and is he gonna kill me

For stepping foot in Gotham as Superboy

 

Dami <3:

He’s on League duty

And he did tell me to call for back up if needed

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Pretty sure he meant one of your brothers

 

Dami <3:

Well he should’ve been more

Specific then

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Unbelievable

You’re lucky I love you

 

Dami <3:

I know

Oh btw guess how many dogs

Your brother absolutely fell for

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Please tell me not all five

 

Dami <3:

You think he stopped at the puppies?

You naïve beautiful fool

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

I swear he has a problem

And Bart is enabling it

 

Dami <3:

Hey, as far as addictions go

Oreos and puppies are not that bad

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Hm

Did Tim come to temper his urges at least?

 

Dami <3:

Yeah

They settled on three pups

Kon tried to go for four

Pretexting that Thad should get

One also

But Thad already co-parents Candle by now

So it didn’t work

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Thank God

Three is still a lot but manageable I guess

Did they give them names?

 

Dami <3:

Not yet

They have time anyway

They won’t be ready to take home

Until at least another month

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Yeah

I miss Krypto’s puppy days

 

Dami <3:

Yeah same with Titus

Hey if we ever move in together

Let’s just get a puppy we can raise

Together

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

You men WHEN

Not IF 😡

 

Dami <3:

Sorry baby

Of course I meant when

Silly me

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Good

And yeah, we’ll do that

Our big pups are self-sufficient enough by now

Pus we’re responsible dog parents

 

Dami <3:

We are

It’s the first time talking about the future

Doesn’t make me want to kill myself

 

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

That’s a little concerning

 

Dami <3:

I’m kidding

Mostly

But yeah it was really stressful

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

You shouldn’t stress about that

I mean even though I threatened you

Two minutes ago

It’s actually ok if you have no idea what

Your future holds

 

Dami <3:

I mean I know I want you in it

That’s probably enough for now

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

<3 you’re adorable

 

Dami <3:

So you keep saying

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

I’m right

We’ll figure things out together

Step by step

 

Dami <3:

I like that plan

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m breaking up with you):

Good

I’ll see you later babe <3

 

Dami <3:

See you <3

Chapter Text

Thad:

Hey Cole

I’m grocery shopping with Timmy

You want anything?

 

Absolute Cutie:

No I’m ok thank you.

I didn’t know you were

Going out today.

 

Thad:

Wasn’t gonna

Tim forced me

Apparently I’m “wasting away”

 

Absolute Cutie:

Well I hope you have fun nonetheless.

 

Thad:

Grocery shopping isn’t fun

But I guess it’s not terrible

How are your pet friends today?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I got peed on twice already.

 

 

Thad:

Sooo pretty well?

Absolute Cutie:

Exactly.

It’s pretty calm today.

Plus I’m alone

For the first time since the attack.

Cheryl didn’t know exactly

What had happened to me

But I think she got the gist

From seeing Damian and Jon’s reaction

So she made sure I was always

 With at least one colleague.

I didn’t want to seem ungrateful so I didn’t

Tell her there was no need.

 

Thad:

She cares about you

She’s a nice lady

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes, she is.

She asked about you you know

 

Thad:

She did?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes.

She said she kept seeing you

Dropping me off for my shifts

So she asked who you were

Do you know how complicated it is

To tell someone you’re my brother’s boyfriend’s

Brother except not the same boyfriend as

The one Damian is a brother too.

Damian who is also dating my other brother.

It’s a headache.

So when she started asking questions

I said mostly you were my best friend.

 

 

Thad:

Should’ve started with this really

 

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yeah probably.

Anyway she said you should

Come in and say hello next time

She’s there.

 

Thad:

Oh

Ok I will then

 

Absolute Cutie:

Good.

 

Thad:

By the way

Kon said you were looking for

A new place

 

Absolute Cutie:

Oh, yes.

I like living with my brother

And his boyfriends,

But I also like my independence

And not relying on my family too much.

I know they’re scared someone is

Going to attack me again,

Which is why I’m looking for a place

Closer this time.

But I need my own space.

 

 

Thad:

I see…

I get it, although I’m gonna

Miss living with you

 

Absolute Cutie:

Move out with me then.

 

Thad:

I… what?

 

Absolute Cutie:

We can find a place together.

Be roommates.

 

Thad:

I thought you needed your space?

 

Absolute Cutie:

From my brother and his partners.

You’re different.

 

Thad:

Oh…

 

Absolute Cutie:

You don’t have to if you don’t want to.

But I think it could be nice.

Plus that would make Candle happy.

 

Thad:

… You have a point

And I always want to make Candle happy

 

Absolute Cutie:

She deserves it.

 

Thad:

I mean…

Are you sure?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I am yes.

 

Thad:

Well…

I’d love to live with you

Just you I mean

I guess

Yeah, let’s find a place.

 

Absolute Cutie:

Nice, I can show you

The few I’ve picked out tonight.

Then we can start visiting some

 

 

Thad:

Sounds good…

I guess I’ll have to tell Bart huh

How much you wanna bet he’s gonna cry

 

 

Absolute Cutie:

That’s likely.

But he’ll get over it.

 

Thad:

Yeah he will.

He’ll be dramatic for a few weeks

Just cause that’s how he is

And he’ll want to make sure

I know I’m loved

 

Absolute Cutie:

He’s a good brother.

 

Thad:

The best

But you can’t tell him I said that

 

Absolute Cutie:

Your secret’s safe with me.

 

Thad:

Thank you

Gotta go

Tim is using me as a mule

I have to carry all the bags

 

Absolute Cutie:

He does that to me also.

I think that’s why he brings someone with

Him every time.

See you later Thad.

 

Thad:

Yeah see you Colie

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

 

My Fav Kent Boi:

It worked.

 

Jason:

Oh word?

He said yes?

 

My Fav Kent Boi:

Indeed.

 

Jason:

Nice one Cole!

I knew you were a worthy apprentice!

 

My Fav Kent Boi:

You’re a very good teacher.

 

Jason:

You’re ready for next step?

 

My Fav Kent Boi:

Yes I am.

Step 2: flirt and show off my domestic side.

 

Jason:

You got all the lessons down

 

My Fav Kent Boi:

I still don’t know why we call it the

“Dick Grayson method of wooing”

If you’re the one teaching it to me

 

Jason:

My method doesn’t work if

You’re already close friends

So I had to teach you Dickiebird’s

But don’t worry! He told me about it

So many times I’m basically an expert now

We’re gonna nail this!

 

 

My Fav Kent Boi:

If you say so

Apparently I already have the

Hot chocolate technique down

 

 

Jason:

Makes sense

Dickie passed it down to Bartie

Who passed it down to you

Maybe it was a sign

 

My Fav Kent Boi:

Maybe.

Thank you for helping me with this Jason.

 

Jason:

Of course, my pleasure

Both Jaime and I are rooting for you

 

My Fav Kent Boi:

You guys are the best.

I have to get back to my shift,

But I’ll talk to you later.

 

Jason:

Yeah keep me posted on all the progress

And keep up the good work!

Notes:

zeguifrgfrozerf COLE YOU SMOOTH MOTHERFUCKER!
I'm still laughing over the fact Jason teaches the youths how to flirt using Dick's method sqhziopdzzdnpaz I can't!

Group Chat (Birdflash and Sons)

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Ok we’ve waited long enough

We demand answers

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

You heard the man!

We DEMAND them!

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Whatever are you talking about

 

I’m Like TT:

Yeah you’re gonna have to be more specific

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

We want to know the identity of Uncle Bats!

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

You’ve been teasing us for years

With this one!

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

But if I tell you it will ruin the fun

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

We knew you’d say that

But then we realized we didn’t have just one

Little gremlin from the future anymore

We had two!

Why Did You Grow Up:

Noooo foiled by my evil twin

Once again!

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Serves you right!

So, Thaddie!

Tell us who Uncle Bats is!

 

I’m Like TT:

Uh

Which one

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

What do you mean which one!

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Uncle Bats! Bartie’s Batman!

 

I’m Like TT:

Yeah I got that

And again I ask

Which one

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

You’re ruining my fun

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

There are multiple uncle Bats?!

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

How have we not guessed that yet?

 

 

I’m Like TT:

Technically Dick would count as an uncle Bats

Even though he gave up the cowl way before

Bartie was born if I remember my history

Lessons from Grandpa right

That plus the fact he’d be Daddy Bats I guess

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Ew please never say that again

Daddy Bats is my father

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

So Dickie DID become Batman again

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Of course he did

Bruce always wanted him to take his place

He just hated every second of it

From what he told me

Batman was a prison to him

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Yeah sounds like me

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

So then who took over

Timmy?

Please tell me it wasn’t Jason again

The first time was stressful enough

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Tim had died at the same time Bruce did

Never even met him

And I wouldn’t be dating my

Uncle, that’s disgusting

 

I’m Like TT:

Yeah I’d judge you a little I have to admit

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

So I’m guessing Dami

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Oh yeah makes sense

Although I can’t see the Babybird as Batman

Right now

 

I’m Like TT:

Yeah he’s Nepo-Batman

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

As opposed to what exactly

 

I’m Like TT:

Clone-Batman duh

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Another clone?!

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Uncle Terry wasn’t a clone

Waller just overwrote his DNA with Bruce’s

So technically he’s his son

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I’m getting another lil bro?

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Will Bruce ever have a bio-child the normal way?

Poor man

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I don’t even know if that’s gonna happen

Now tbh

With how everything keeps changing

I hope Terry gets to exist

But I’m not sure

 

I’m Like TT:

He was a good Batman

Fought him once or twice

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I have so many questions

When was he born?

How is he?

 why would he and Dami share

The role?

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

I’m guessing a post-apocalyptic world

Would need twice the Batmen

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

A valid assumption

But mostly Uncle Dams

Took over the Lead of the League of Assassins

After his dad’s death

And only chose to become Batman when he heard

A young guy was running around

Calling himself the Dark Knight

They HATED each other at first

But at some point Dami just accepted Terry

And became some a sort of mentor to him

They had an almost 20 year difference

So he was more of a dad than a brother to him

Really but they still called each other brothers

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

That’s…

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Brings back memories doesn’t it

And you were close to both of them?

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I met Terry first

Since ‘Wing had checked up on him

When he first started working as Batman

He’d invited him to our place

I was five at the time

I hadn’t been with you guys for a full year yet

And I was still very traumatized

And not really good with new people

But I was a huge Batman fanboy

So when ‘Wing said

Terry was Batman I just lit up

And got attached to him instantly

 

I’m Like TT:

So cute

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Yeah it’s adorable

What about Dami then

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Met him a few months later

You were all so sure I’d be

Terrified of him

But I don’t know

There was something so peaceful

About how calm he was

He wasn’t affectionate or anything

But he had that presence

That made me feel safe

Plus he talked to me

Like it didn’t occur to him

That my age could make me not understand

So I liked him for that

Terry was the fun Uncle Bats

Dami’s the one who taught me how

To survive

He’s the reason I’m even here today

And he’s the last

Of my family I watched die

He was there

At the Last Stand

He was there and he told me to run

And then…

Well you know the rest

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

He’s the one you were grieving when you got

Out of that machine wasn’t he

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Oh Bartie…

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

It’s funny really

He used to tell me about his Robin days

I’d always say I wanted to be

His Robin, he’d just smirk

And say his father would have

His head if he ever made

A speedster into Robin

 

I’m Like TT:

He still treated you like one though

By the end of the War there wasn’t

That many of you left

So I’m sure he started seeing you

As his little bird

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Yeah it wouldn’t surprise me

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

It explains why you were so attached to the

Robin mantle

Always thought it had to do with Dickie

And maybe you thought it was him

Under the mask for a second

When you saw Tim for the first time

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Nah

I didn’t even think it could be Dami

Tbh I was trying to go back far enough

To save Jason so I was thinking

It was him

Miscalculated a little bit

 

I’m Like TT:

You probably rushed it again Impulse

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Hey, I’ll have you know

I was on a time crunch

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I’m sure Jason will be delighted to know you

Tried at least

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Yeah I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t have

Ever crossed his mind that you would

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I mean I might not have been

As close to him as I was

To ‘Wing or Uncle Dami

But he was still family

He still would have taken care of me

If needed

So of course I’d try to prevent

That trauma from happening

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

You should tell him that

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Also have you ever thought of talking

To Dami about all you’ve said

Just like you’ve told us about past us?

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Not really…

When I first met him he was so young

Plus I never really mourned my uncle Dami

I mean I’m bad at grieving in general

But I had time to start

Working on it for everyone else

Not him since he was the last one

And I had a mission

And I didn’t stop for months

And then months became years and honestly

When he showed up it was a shock

I was almost happy Tim didn’t get along

With him so I didn’t have to see him as much

At first

And then I just did everything

I could to separate him

From the one I knew in my head

 

I’m Like TT:

It must be really fucking weird

To know people twice

To love them twice

Except they’re not the same people

Not exactly

Sometimes I’m glad

I never actually got to be loved in

Our time just for that

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Both perspectives are sad as fuck

I need to hug both of you now

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Same

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

It’s not that bad really

I mostly am able to see everyone as

Separate people

That’s why I always call the other Dick ‘Wing

It’s easier that way

Same with my Uncles Bats and Uncle Hood

Wally’s harder though

I don’t really know why

You’re just always so… you, I guess

 

 

I’m Like TT:

Except younger

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

I should start a hobby other me

Never did

Like painting!

Or Figure Skating!

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Figure skating?

I don’t know if it’s

the worst idea you’ve ever had

Or the most hilarious

 

I’m Like TT:

Both definitely

You’re gonna fall on your face

And somehow cut off

Both your hands with the blades

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Hey!

I could be very good at this you never know!

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Don’t discourage him

I think he’d do great

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

You just want to see him

In tight figure skating outfits

You’re not fooling anyone

 

I’m Like TT:

disgusting

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

You don’t get to call my

Love and appreciation for my dear husband

Disgusting

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

You mean lust

 

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Both

And he’s allowed

We are not the ones living in SIN

Bartholomew!

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Yeah we know what you’re up to

With your depraved boyfriends!

 

I’m Like TT:

Can confirm they never stop

They’re like rabbits

It’s tiring

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Thad!

Why would you betray me like that!

 

I’m Like TT:

Serves you right

At least I don’t have super-hearing

Think of poor Cole!

Why Did You Grow Up:

Oh shit

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

You’re lucky the poor boy

Doesn’t even know to feel embarrassed

 

I’m Like TT:

He doesn’t but I do

And he never fails to tell me

When it’s happening again

Thank God we’re moving out

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

You’re ABANDONNING ME

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Now you know how I felt when you left

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Both of you are dramatic and crazy

Let Thad move in to his new love-nest

With his boyfriend

 

I’m Like TT:

Still not my boyfriend

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Not yet

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

It’s only a matter of time

If my sources are correct

 

I’m Like TT:

What are you talking about

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Oooh you got tea

Serial Hugging Dad:

Why was I not informed?

 

I’m Like TT:

You?

Why wasn’t I informed!

I’m literally the only one concerned!

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I’ll give you the deets in private Bartie don’t

worry

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Hey!

 

I’m Like TT:

Hey!

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Thanks Dickie you’re the best!

Tell you what

I just made cupcakes

I’ll bring you a dozen and we’ll

Do that face to face!

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Sounds great!

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

I can't believe

The utter betrayal

 

I’m Like TT:

Yeah those were supposed to be MY cupcakes!

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

I would scold you on your priorities

But honestly I get it

Why Did You Grow Up:

I’ve made a ton of cupcakes

Thad don’t worry

And if you guys are jealous Walls can always

Take Thad out on a Father-Son date

While Dickie and I have our gossip time

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Yeah, you guys need to spend time together

You haven’t seen each other in a month

Walls keeps saying he misses his little Thaddie

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Why must you expose me this way

 

I’m Like TT:

Aw pops you should have said something

Earlier

Hey can you take me to Korean BBQ?

I’m so hungry

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

He never misses an opportunity to get

A free meal in true West-Allen fashion

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

You can have all the free meals in the world

My precious little angel baby!

I’ll be there in a flash!

 

I’m Like TT:

Nice!

I should call you pops more often

If it gets me free food!

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

You only realize this now?

You need more Walls manipulation lessons

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I’m afraid we have neglected his education

Anyway I’m waiting for you Bartie

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Yeah coming!

Notes:

sooooo
basically the two uncle bats thing happened because at first, I was thinking Damian, cause for anyone who's read my previous series, you'ell know I love to write about Bart and Dami as besties and partners in crime. But then I started thinking about Terry and I am awful at making choiced but I was gonna make one I swear! but then while editing a previous chapter I realized Bart said something about needed uncle Bats and Hood to talk him down once, when he was so enraged and grieving everyone but escpecially Dickie, except I had established tha tJay died BEFORE Dickie in the previous story, so I just edited that part to make it just "both uncles Bats", and decided it would do just fine! and now here we are!

Next Chapter: Return of familiar faces

Group Chat (We’re Married Now I Totally Qualify as your Dad Conner)

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

You have broken my old heart once again

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

Oh boy here we go again

 No Longer Desperate:

 

What am I supposed

To have done this time

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

Why didn’t you tell me you

Had adopted?!

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

You did?

I didn’t know you were talking

About having kids

No Longer Desperate:

 

We adopted dogs Kal

Not children

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

Same thing!

Either way you didn’t tell me!

I had to learn from freaking Grayson!

Why does he get to know and I don’t?

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

When will this rivalry with Dick end?

It’s been years

 

No Longer Desperate:

 

Probably never

Also you would have known if you

Guys didn’t disappear

For months without  a trace

Once or twice a year

Keep Your Man In Line:

He has a point

We’re sorry about that by the way

 

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

You could have called and said

You missed your dads Connie

No Longer Desperate:

 

  1. You have actual kids now, you can’t keep

Trying to make that whole me being your kid

Agenda happen

  1. By the way how are the kids
  2. Stop calling me Connie
  3. I don’t miss you I’m just saying

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

We miss you too Conner

And the kids are great

Can you believe Lian is entering

First grade next year?

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

Kaldur can’t

He’s been very emotional about her

Growing up

He had Jackson promise he would never

Ever grow up

 

 

 No Longer Desperate:

 

The poor boy is only two Kal

He can’t even answer properly yet

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

I don’t see your point

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

Hey we should come visit you

You can see the kids and they can

Meet your new pups

How’d you call them btw

 

 

No Longer Desperate:

 

Well we all got to name one

And apparently I couldn’t name mine Dog

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

Ffs Kon

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

Yeah be a little more creative

 

No Longer Desperate:

 

Yeah yeah

So I decided to name him after my one true hero

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

Me?

 

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

Oh my sweet husband

 

No Longer Desperate:

 

Of course not

He’s named Fletcher

Like Jessica from Murder She Wrote

Don’t You Dare Start:

Damn you got Taste

Can’t argue with that

 

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

I do not know this program

 

 Don’t You Dare Start:

I’m sorry WHAT

 No Longer Desperate:

 

Your husband can’t do anything right

If he’s never shown you

Murder She Wrote

Don’t You Dare Start:

I’m ashamed of myself that’s true

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

I guess we’re watching it tonight

What about the other two dogs?

 

No Longer Desperate:

 

Well Tim liked the idea

Of naming them all after detectives

So he names his Barnaby cause he’s been

Binging Midsomer Murders

And Bart wanted to name his Batman

Because that’s his favorite detective

We had to put our foot down

So he settled on Marple

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

Only oldies but goldies I see

Ya’ll might actually be 70 in disguise

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

I only know Ms Marple

I have read the Agatha Christie books

Bart has great taste

 

No Longer Desperate:

 

Yeah I agree

Tim thinks Conan Doyle is better

But what does he know

Anyway you can come by this week end

If you want

Everyone will be delighted

Plus that will make a good distraction

Bart will be moping around

All week end otherwise

Cole and Thad are moving out today

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

Oh they are?

Good for them

I mean Cole was already

Independent before the whole mess

But I’m sure it will do Thad some good

To get some space

Only met the kid once but he seems

To be on the right track

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

I agree

 

No Longer Desperate:

 

Yeah we all do too

Bartie’s just a bit sad

He waited his whole life to have a brother

He wasn’t ready to

Be apart from him yet

But he knows it’s for the best

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

Poor Bartie

I’ll bring him a pie

 

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

He just wants an excuse to bake a pie

He’s been obsessed lately

 

 No Longer Desperate:

 

You and Bartie will have

Something to talk about then

He’s been baking an ungodly

Amount as well

Tim has started begging him to stop

Cause he has to work out

Twice as much now to keep

His pristine physical condition

I don’t have that problem

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

You damned kryptonians and your

Metabolism

It’s so unfair

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

Nothing is forcing Tim to eat

It all

No Longer Desperate:

 

How could he not?

It’s so damn good

Plus it makes Bartie happy to feed him

 

Don’t You Dare Start:

A sacrifice for the greater good then

Welp, time to go pick up the kids

See you this week end Kon!

 

Keep Your Man In Line:

Yes, see you soon

 

No Longer Desperate:

 

Sure thing, say hi to the kids for me

 

Notes:

Here we go! just some cute domestic Kalroy fam!
a quick word on the children: I have no idea if Lian was still Roy and Jade's biological or if she's just a kid they adopted, I'm thinking the latter for this one. as for Jackson, I just wanted to give him Kaldur's comic surface name as a nod. he's definetly adopted. they'll probably adopt two more kids cause Kaldur wants at least four and Roy wants as many as Kaldur wants lmao

Next Chapter: Bart coping with the Move

Chapter 28: Gossip And Good News

Summary:

Bart isn't taking Thadcole moving very well, and Wally is there for support... and gossip.

Notes:

Hi!!!
I Need to update quick today cause I'm going to see Wicked so no rambling on my part this time!

Hope You Enjoy! x

Chapter Text

My Actual Child:

:’(

 

Did Not Birth Me:

For Goodness sake Bartie

Thaddie’s only moving

Twenty normal human minutes

From your place

 

My Actual Child:

It’s still too far!

 

Did Not Birth Me:

This is karma from when you moved

ACROSS THE COUNTRY

 

My Actual Child:

In my defense

One of us had to actually live

In Keystone at the time

We’re supposed to be its

Protectors

 

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Still

Anyway Thaddie’s fine

He’s happy, healthy

And moving in with his best friend

He has a crush on

He’s so much like me for real

 

My Actual Child:

Yeah it’s actually uncanny

 

Did Not Birth Me:

I hope everything works out for those two

They’re so sickeningly cute

I thought I had seen cuteness before

But nothing compared to this

 

My Actual Child:

I don’t know how they do it

Oh I have to tell you something

Hilarious and adorable

that happened the other day!

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Spill!

 

My Actual Child:

Ok so we were at the mall

Me, Thad and Cole

And we stopped for

Some milk shake

And the server just decided

That Thad was cute I guess and started

Flirting with him

Which was funny in itself

Because Thad had no idea how to react

And Cole just tensed like

His face stayed neutral except

For a slight furrowing of the brow

But his body was rock solid

He looked like a statue

Then the waiter asked for Thad’s number and

The poor boy didn’t know what to say

But he didn’t have to say anything

Because Cole finally

Woke up from

Whatever jealousy induced

Trance he was in and just said calmly

“He’s not interested.”

Then after three seconds of silence he frowned

Like he did something wrong and turned to

Thad to ask:

“You’re not interested are you?”

And Thad just shyly said he wasn’t

While blushing

And Cole just said good

Then turned back to the waiter

To tell him  he really wasn’t interested

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Azgdfddf

WHAT IN THE HEAVENS

 

My Actual Child:

That’s not even the end of it!

After that he just took out

A few bills

Put them on the table

Took Thad by the hand and

They just left

 

Did Not Birth Me:

I CAN’T

THEY LEFT YOU THERE?

My Actual Child:

THEY TOTALLY DID

I WAS TOO BUSY LAUGHING MY ASS OFF

TO CARE

Also Cole still left a tip

That boy was raised right

 

Did Not Birth Me:

A true icon

I wouldn’t have pegged him for

The possessive type

 

My Actual Child:

Of fucking course he is

It’s a family trait

 

Did Not Birth Me:

I don’t think Jon is THAT possessive

 

My Actual Child:

That’s cause you’re easily fooled

That boy has claimed his stake on Damian

Anyway he could

And he makes sure

Everyone knows that’s his baby

Should’ve seen how he got

When Dams started befriending that Raven girl

From the new recruits

When they came to work with us

Last month

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Oh really?

 

My Actual Child:

You have no idea

Good thing the girl is chill and found it hilarious

Cause she could probably kick his ass

For being a stand-offish jerk

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Jon being anything other than sweet?

Never could have imagined such a thing

 

My Actual Child:

And yet

They ended up being friends in the end

All’s well that ends well

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Huh

Come to think of it maybe Kon is actually

The more reasonable one

 

My Actual Child:

Yeah probably

I mean he is possessive and overprotective

But usually he doesn’t get jealous

He knows we’re his

And he’s secure in that knowledge

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Good for him

The Robins however

 

My Actual Child:

Oh none of them are sane

Dami is the closest to being

Somewhat normal

At least he has the excuse

Of being a teenager

What’s Jaytim’s excuse?

Or Dick for that matter?

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Dickie thinks the whole world wants me

I never really understood why

He does deal with it in a pretty

Healthy way though

Is Tim that bad?

 

My Actual Child:

Not so much anymore

But in the beginning boy

Was he focused

On making sure everyone

Knew I was taken

And it was even worse with Kon

Cause they like to outdo each other

So he’d raise his overprotectiveness

With his own

They were exhausting

 

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Yet you survived

 

My Actual Child:

I don’t even know how

Anyway

Now my baby bro is gone

And my Colie

I’m stuck with those fools again

At least I have my pups

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Look at you being a father of three

 

My Actual Child:

It’s a dream come true

Kon is even more excited than I am

Tim pretends to be annoyed

But he’s the one

Who keeps “accidently”

Leaving our bedroom door opened at night

So they can all come invade our bed

Thank god we got the largest one

Available

But we’re gonna have to train that out of

Them at some point

 

Did Not Birth Me:

So cute

Now I want a pet

I’m thinking I should

Convince Damian to move

In with us and steal Titus

 

My Actual Child:

Oh so you want Jon to kill you then

Good to know

When Damian is ready to leave the manor

Jon will make sure it’s to move in with

Him not one of his brothers

 

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Ugh

They’re too young anyway right now

 

My Actual Child:

The time is fast approaching

When they’ll be adults

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Don’t remind me

We’re so old

 

My Actual Child:

Speak for yourself, I’m only 25

 

Did Not Birth Me:

YOURE 25?!

 

My Actual Child:

What do you mean of course I am

You literally were at my birthday wtf

 

Did Not Birth Me:

I had blocked it out of my mind because I

Refuse to believe it!

My baby is 25!

My Actual Child:

You really need actual babies

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Yeah I do

We’ve started the adoption process btw

 

My Actual Child:

Really?!

Congrats Walls!

I’m so happy for you!

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Nothing is fixed yet you know

It’s a long process just to get approved

 

My Actual Child:

Still it’s a start!

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Yeah I guess it is

You’re the first one I’ve told

 

My Actual Child:

I’m honored!

 

Did Not Birth Me:

As you should be

We’re trying not to freak

Ourselves out too much

That’s why we’re waiting to get approved

To announce it officially

 

My Actual Child:

I get you

I wont blab I promise

 

Did Not Birth Me:

I know you won’t

Plus Dickie told Jay so

 

My Actual Child:

Course he did

Hey Walls

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Yeah?

 

My Actual Child:

I really am happy for you

I’d say you’re going to be a great dad

But you already are <3

 

Did Not Birth Me:

Thanks Bartie <3

Chapter Text

Gremlin:

You snake

 

Bird Brain:

Hello to you too Timmy

 

 

Gremlin:

You gave the old

Case files I doodled on to Kon?!

 

Bird Brain:

Hey, he asked

 

Gremlin:

AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID NO

WHY DID YOU HAVE THEM ANYWAY

 

Bird Brain:

Got them from Brucie

He wanted to throw them away

No way I was gonna let that happen

 

Gremlin:

I’m gonna kill you

 

Bird Brain:

You can certainly try

It won’t change the fact that Kon

Has all the proof he needs

To know you were a smitten teen

 

Gremlin:

Why must you do this to me

 

Bird Brain:

Cause it’s funny as hell

Plus I’m not the one who told him

About those in the first place

 

Gremlin:

Yeah but I can’t be mad at Bartie

He earned the right to mock me

Mercilessly the day I accidently

Broke his heart by

Preemptively breaking up with him

 

Bird Brain:

Yeah, sounds fair

 

Gremlin:

Kon hasn’t stopped laughing

He says he’s gonna frame

The one where I drew us

Doing the Spider-Man kiss

 

Bird Brain:

One of your finest works of art

 

Gremlin:

I agree, I got really into

The shading of that one

 

Bird Brain:

Such talent

You’re wasted as a Superhero

 

Gremlin:

I know, the world will never recover

Stop changing the subject!

Fix this!

 

Bird Brain:

What do you want me to do?

 

Gremlin:

I don’t know!

But you have to think of something!

 

Bird Brain:

I mean you can’t embarrass him back

He’s already lost all dignity long ago

 

Gremlin:

Don’t I know it

 

Bird Brain:

Idk man

Tell him if he stops bullying you

You can recreate the Spider-man kiss for real

Or something

 

Gremlin:

Hey that’s not a bad idea

Yeah that could work actually

Brb

 

Bird Brain:

Sure

 

Gremlin:

Lmao he fell from his chair from shock

 

Bird Brain:

He’s so fragile I swear

 

Gremlin:

He’s on board that’s what counts

Bartie wants to take pictures

That will go a lot better framed

Than my drawing

 

Bird Brain:

See, all’s well that ends well

 

Gremlin:

I guess

Don’t do anything like that again

Though or I’m sharing your

Old journal with Wally

 

Bird Brain:

You don’t have my old Journal

I disposed of that years ago

 

Gremlin:

You did a bad job at that

Also I don’t have it

But Dami does

 

Bird Brain:

Oh crap

 

Gremlin:

Exactly

Sleep with one eye open

 

Bird Brain:

I don’t really care if Walls sees it

But if Jay ever finds it I’m cooked

Please never share it with him

 

Gremlin:

Don’t cross me then

Or Dams

 

Bird Brain:

I don’t even have any blackmail

Material on the kid

 

Gremlin:

He is unbeatable

That’s why I allied myself to him

And also because you older Robins are

The real enemy

 

Bird Brain:

Pfft

I am scared of Damian though

The boy did the most embarrassing

Promposal known to men

And everyone thought it was cool

How did he manage that

 

Gremlin:

He’s not scared of doing uncool things

Which in turn makes them cool

You can’t do anything against such

Powers.

 

Bird Brain:

That’s why he’s gonna be Batman one day

 

Gremlin:

I’m sorry what?

 

Bird Brain:

Oh Bart didn’t tell you?

Dams was Uncle Bats

Or one of them anyway

 

Gremlin:

Dams is Uncle Bats?

Wait, there are MULTIPLE?

 

Bird Brain:

Two

We’re getting a baby bro called Terry

Apparently

Well maybe

Bartie’s not sure if it’s gonna happen or not

This time around

 

Gremlin:

I…

What the fuck

 

Bird Brain:

It’s actually a pretty heartwarming story

If you forget about the whole

Everyone dying and everything

You should ask Bartie to tell you about it

 

Gremlin:

This whole time he told us about

His uncle Bats he was talking about Dams?

Dams taught him battle strategy

And Read him the Art of War

As a bedtime story?

Dams called him Champ

And baked him cookies?

 

Bird Brain:

Nah the second one was probably Terry

We’ve been making a list

Of all he’s said about his Uncles Bats

And trying to separate them

Between Nepo-Batman and

Clone-like-Batman

 

Gremlin:

Who came up with those names?

 

Bird Brain:

Thad

Wally calls them Baby-Bats

And Foetus-Bats

 

Gremlin:

How original

Does Dami know?

 

Bird Brain:

Nah

Bartie’s shy

 

Gremlin:

Aww baby

I’ll talk to him about it

 

Bird Brain:

Good

 

Gremlin:

Yeah

But first we have a photoshoot to

Get to

 

Bird Brain:

Of course

It’s of upmost importance

 

Gremlin:

Exactly

Plus I get to be Spider-Man

Which is pretty cool

 

Bird Brain:

So the real fantasy was being

Spider-Man, not kissing Kon

Gremlin:

Both have their merits

Hey we should all be fictional superheroes

For Halloween

Dibs on Spidey

 

 

Bird Brain:

Of course you would

I want to be the Scarlet Witch anyway

 

Gremlin:

Good choice

 

 

Bird Brain:

We should get Jay to be Captain America

 

Gremlin:

He’ll want to be Deadpool

But we can try

 

Bird Brain:

The point is to be someone different from you

The only thing more Jason pilled than Deadpool

Would be if he chose the Winter Soldier

 

Gremlin:

Damn so true though

Alright we’ll plan

The perfect Halloween bash later

The pictures aren’t gonna take themselves

 

Bird Brain:

Have fun kiddo!

 

Notes:

lmao Timmy will never live his past down he is condemned to be humiliated for eternity ksksksks

Chapter Text

Thad:

Colie?

Is your shift over?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes. I’m about to get home.

Why?

 

Thad:

Oh nothing

I was just wondering is all

 

Absolute Cutie:

Are you sure?

 

Thad:

Yeah don’t worry

I’m just happy you’ll be back soon

 

Absolute Cutie:

Something happened didn’t it?

 

Thad:

Um…

 

Absolute Cutie:

It’s ok Thad.

You can tell me.

 

Thad:

I uh…

Candle was playing

With the tablecloth

And my tea was on the table

And it was falling so I got her out of the way

But I got kinda burned since it was boiling hot

I’m fine btw, it already healed

But um… I don’t know why it kinda…

Triggered me?

I started getting burning related flash-backs…

And I kinda had a panic attack?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’ll be here as soon as possible

 

Thad:

It’s really ok you know…

I’m already calming down…

It just

Took me by surprise I guess

I didn’t know something like that

Could cause a reaction in me…

 

Absolute Cutie:

You don’t have to explain yourself.

Sometimes we don’t know what might

Trigger us

One time someone called me useless

In line at the supermarket

I slept exclusively in the bathtub for a week

 

Thad:

Oh…

You did say that could happen

When you weren’t feeling well

 

Absolute Cutie:

It reminds me of my tank.

I feel like I can just shut down,

Like I’m just not here anymore

When I do that.

It’s not really a good coping mechanism.

I’m trying not to do that anymore.

 

Thad:

Hey, at least you’re not hurting yourself

But for what it’s worth

I’d rather have you here with me

I don’t know what I’d do if you weren’t

There anymore

 

Absolute Cutie:

You don’t have to wonder.

I’m not going anywhere.

 

Thad:

Good…

I’m sorry I’m such a burden…

 

Absolute Cutie:

You’re not.

You’re my best friend.

You saved my life.

And I love living with you.

 

 

Thad:

Are you sure?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I am sure.

I never lie.

I don’t even know how to be honest.

 

Thad:

Which is a good trait

 

Absolute Cutie:

Sometimes.

 

Thad:

I just feel like I rely on you too much

 

Absolute Cutie:

No, we rely on each other.

You always listen to me.

You make sure I’m safe.

You remember everything I tell you

And you remind me to take care

Of myself.

Not to mention you’re a perfect roommate.

 

You don’t even see all you do

For me.

 

Thad:

That’s just normal

 

Absolute Cutie:

And me taking care of you as well

Is just as normal.

 

Thad:

If you say so…

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’m almost here

Do you want to watch a movie

And cuddle?

 

Thad:

Do you even have to ask?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Consent is important so yes.

 

Thad:

Fair enough

What are we watching?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Your pick.

 

Thad:

Oh, in that case

I’ve been meaning to watch Hercules

 

Absolute Cutie:

Oh that one is Kon’s favorite Disney movie

 

Thad:

Really?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes.

I watched it with him once.

I haven’t seen it since but I really liked it

 

 

Thad:

Are you ok with seeing it again then?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes of course.

I’m here so I’ll just come hug you

Then I’ll make pop corn

 

Thad:

You’re the best

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

Fast And Furious:

I think I’m ready to say it now

 

 

Spare Parts:

Oh?

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah

Meg not being able to

Made me realize I didn’t have that fear

 

 

Spare Parts:

Meg?

From Hercules?

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah, not really important rn

Can I say it?

 

 

Spare Parts:

I don’t know can you?

 

Fast And Furious:

Be serious

 

 

Spare Parts:

Of course you can say it Thad

I’m listening

 

Fast And Furious:

Thanks

I’m in love with Cole

 

 

Spare Parts:

:’)

I’m proud of you

Fast And Furious:

I know

I haven’t told him yet though

 

 

Spare Parts:

One step at a time

Right now, enjoy the moment

 

Fast And Furious:

I am enjoying it

I’m enjoying it a lot in fact

 

 

Spare Parts:

Good

I’ll leave you to it then

Fast And Furious:

Yeah, thanks for listening Bartie

 

 

Spare Parts:

Anytime <3

Chapter Text

Smol Bats:

Hey Bartholomew

I got some new toys for the pups

Can I come by later

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Oh hey Damian!

Wow you don’t usually text me

Sure come by anytime!

 

Smol Bats:

Thanks

And yeah I guess I don’t

But I’ve been feeling like I need

To talk to you more these days

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Oh? Any particular reason?

 

Smol Bats:

Well

I might be wrong

But I feel like there’s something

You want to tell me

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

… how

 

Smol Bats:

To be fair it’s not exactly anything

You did

But my brothers have started acting strange

I mean Grayson and Drake mostly

They keep asking me if you and I

Have had any interesting conversations lately

Or if I ever heard the tales of your life

In the future

I can take a hint

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

They are menaces

This is why I didn’t want to

Tell them anything

 

Smol Bats:

I get you

It’s ok if you don’t feel like telling me

I just got curious

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

I can’t blame you for that

And actually…

I guess I should tell you

I’ve waited long enough

 

Smol Bats:

If you say so

I guess it has something to do

With the alternate future version

Of me?

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Yeah…

Yes It does

 

Smol Bats:

I’m listening

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Well

You know how I was raised by

Walls and ‘Wing from the age of 4

So it stands to reason I would at least

Know you a little

 

Smol Bats:

Yes, it does make sense

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Well actually

When I was adopted you

Weren’t in the picture

After Bruce and Tim’s death

From what I understand you couldn’t

Cope and left everything to go lead

The League of Assassins

 

Smol Bats:

That’s the dumbest thing I could have done

Honestly it doesn’t surprise me

Grief makes me dumb

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

We all have our own way to cope

I guess

Anyway while you were gone, a new

Dark Knight rose to prominence

Since Dick refused to keep being Batman

His name was Terry McGinnis,

He was only 17 at the time

When Dick learned he tracked him down

So he could keep an eye on him

That’s how I got my first uncle Bats

 

Smol Bats:

Your first one?

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

I’m getting there

When you learned about Terry

You weren’t pleased

Who was this young upstart taking

Your father’s legacy for himself?

Never mind the fact that you were genetically

Brothers

 

Smol Bats:

… huh?

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Oh yeah, forgot to tell you that

Terry is a Waller experiment

She overrode his DNA with Bruce’s

So he is your half-brother

Not that you knew at the time

You’d learn that years later

 

Smol Bats:

I…

Ok that’s trippy

And I thought my birth was disturbing

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Your dad simply cannot have children

The normal way

Anyway when you learned there was a new

Batman and it wasn’t Dick

Or Heaven forbid Jason

You decided this wouldn’t do

And came back to rectify that

 

Smol Bats:

Yeah sounds like me

I’m that petty

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

At least you’re self-aware

So you came back

Put your father’s old costume on

And just like that Gotham got two

Batmen for the price of one

Terry and you hated each other for a while

But after a few months you begrudgingly

Accepted that with the state of the world

Both of you were needed

And you started working together

You became a mentor for Terry

And you became my second Uncle Bats

 

Smol Bats:

I… see

Was I a good uncle?

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

The best

You…

You don’t even know how much

I owe you

I’m only here today because of you

Because of all you taught me

I learned to survive thanks to you

I lost everyone, little by little

But you were always there

Until the very end

You were there, the day

I traveled to the past

And you…

 

Smol Bats:

Let me guess

I died that day

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Yeah…

I saw you get stabbed and we both knew

You wouldn’t survive this one

You told me to run

And then you bought me time

By causing a commotion and blowing

Up everything around you

Yourself included

 

Smol Bats:

At least I went out with a bang

Sorry, too soon?

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

I mean it has been years

And I guess I can’t fault you for

Joking about your own hypothetical

Death

 

Smol Bats:

You’re the one who lost me

Him

I don’t want to be insensitive

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

It’s ok really

I mean the death in itself is not

I still get nightmares sometimes

Like I told the others

I never got to even begin processing

That last loss at the time

Cause from the moment I jumped

Back in time, I was on a mission

Nothing else mattered, especially

Not my own grief and devastation

So I buried it in the back of my mind

Until I got to meet you years later

 

Smol Bats:

It must not have been easy

Especially with how much of a brat I was

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Actually it helped

I could separate the two version more easily

Because of how different you were

I still had moment were you did something

That just screamed “him” you know

But I managed

 

Smol Bats:

I’m sorry you went through all of this Bart

And I’m sorry I couldn’t

 Hold out long enough so you

Didn’t have to see me die

But I’m glad other me did

Everything in his power to make sure you’d

Succeed and get here

Because I can’t imagine our lives

Without having you right here

In this time

I think you belong here

And you’ve always belonged here

Not just because you saved the world

But because you make it better by existing

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Oh…

Thank you Dami

 

Smol Bats:

Don’t thank me

I’m only telling the truth

Of course other me took care of you

He saw what everyone could see

That you were one of a kind

And probably the only hope he had of

Making things right

But now that you did

I hope you get to rest and be content

For the rest of your life

You’ve earned it

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Can you please stop making me cry

 

Smol Bats:

No, I don’t think I can

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Fair enough I guess

You know, he didn’t tell me a lot

About his younger years

I got most of it from ‘Wing

But when he did tell me some things

I always felt like

He resented the person he used to be

But I think if he saw you today

The person you are in this new reality

He couldn’t resent them

I think he’d be proud, to know this

Is who you are now

 

 

Smol Bats:

Huh

You really think so?

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

I do

A lot more things changed

That I didn’t have a direct hand in

You in particular

I don’t know exactly why

But it’s all good changes

 

Smol Bats:

Well good to know I got rid

Of any reason for future self-loathing

I keep telling Todd he shouldn’t hate himself

I wouldn’t want to be a hypocrite

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

I think self-tolerance is the best we can ask for

When it comes to Jason

Smol Bats:

How can he be engaged to Jaime

And still not think he’s doing great

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

That’s what I’ve been saying!

Like, the man is a catch

It proves he’s doing something right

 

Smol Bats:

You should tell him that

Maybe he’ll listen to you

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

I guess

I do have to talk to him about

Uncle Hood anyway

Now that I’ve talked to you

Smol Bats:

Oh?

Were you close?

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Not as much

He wasn’t there a lot

But when he was he was great

Learned to handle guns and to box

From him

He bought me my first Batman figurine

Vintage one based on your dad

And he even got me a miniature batmobile!

 

Smol Bats:

So he’s the reason you’re a Batman fanboy

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

I mean he contributed for sure

But also my two cool uncles helped

I wanted to be Robin you know?

 

Smol Bats:

Yeah, Father would have rolled in his grave

If we made a Speedster Robin

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

You always did say that

Smol Bats:

Plus if you become Robin you’d be part

Of the brotherhood and you

Dating Drake would be a tad awkward

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Ew!

Why would you say that?

 

Smol Bats:

It’s just a fact

You’re already bordering on incest dating your

Surrogate father’s brother

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

Please stop

I could tell you the same

 Your father-in-law

Was almost your step-dad

Smol Bats:

That’s low

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

But true

Let’s agree we’re both above reproach

And leave it there

 

Smol Bats:

Fine, deal

Thank you for talking to me

 About all this Bart

I’m glad you trust me enough to do so

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

You’re welcome, and thanks for listening

I’ll see you soon

I’m gonna make some brownies real quick

For when you arrive

 

Smol Bats:

You’re still not over your baking phase I see

 

 

Least Annoying Speedster:

I will never ever stop

 

Smol Bats:

I’m not complaining

See you soon

Notes:

Dami developping his parental side lmao

Next Chapter: Thad asks Dick for advice

Notes:

Anyways hope you enjoy! x

Chapter Text

Babiest Fast Baby:

Dickie?

I have a question

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

Oh hi Thad!

Sure, fire away

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

I was wondering how you knew

When a boy liked you

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

Oh baby

You mean you don’t know?

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

I mean I can’t be sure

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

No no, you can

Cole absolutely does like you

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

I want to be sure and have evidence alright

So how do you know

How did you know with Walls for example

 

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

Oh that’s easy

He got all flustered when I started flirting

With him

He about died every time he saw me shirtless

He always worried more than anyone

When I was out on patrol or mission

He tried not to show it but every bruise and

Cuts he saw on me broke his heart

Even the most insignificant one

He got jealous when I said I was thinking

Of getting back on the dating scene

(I mean I was trying to hint at me

Wanting to date him in particular but

He was still too oblivious to notice)

Those are just some of the examples

There are plenty more

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

I see…

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

Have you noticed anything similar with Cole?

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

I don’t know…

Maybe?

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

Tell me more

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

I mean um…

I guess he’s really…

Attentive

I mean he’s always cared for me a lot but

Now it’s somehow a bit different?

And I think he might be flirting?

I don’t know, he keeps complimenting me

And saying I look good

Or that I’m pretty when I smile

Seriously I had no idea I’d like

Being called pretty one day

 

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

Aww that’s adorable!

Anything else?

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

Well

I guess sometimes

I’ll just be rambling about something

And he’ll just be listening but

I always feel like sometimes

I go on and on and he might be bored

So I will look at him to check

If I’m not being annoying

And he’ll just be staring at me

Like I’m the most interesting person

In the world and also I feel like

He’s about to kiss me?

Maybe?

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

But let me get this straight

You’re STILL not sure he likes you?

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

I mean I have a history of

Being delusional

I wouldn’t put it past me to have just

Imagined all of this

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

Oh Thad…

Do you really always believe every time

Something good happens to you you’ve

Imagined it?

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

Most of the time yes

Tbh I’m not sure anything

That happened this past year is

Actually real

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

That’s concerning

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

I mean I did work with cosmic entities

To get that second chance

For all I know they could have tricked me

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

But they didn’t

It’s real

We’re real

Cole’s real

And he likes you

And you need to start believing it

Besides, even if it was fake

What do you have to lose in still

Believing it’s real right now?

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

You have  a point…

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

So just go under the assumption

That everything is really happening

And take everything at face value

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

Yeah…

So…

Cole probably likes me

What should I do

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

You could tell him you like him too

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

I’m pretty sure I’d panic

And say something stupid

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

Take it slow then

Just try and show him you’re picking

Up what he’s putting down

You said he was flirting

Flirt back then

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

It sounds so easy when you say it

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

Cause it is

Tell you what, I’m coming to pick you up

I’m gonna give you flirting lessons

 

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

Really?

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

Yeah sure

Someone needs to teach you those things

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

Thanks Dickie

You’re kinda the best honestly

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

I know, I know

I’ll tell Walls you like me better than him though

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

That’s not what I said

Please don’t break his heart like this

Who’s gonna feed me

Enough food to sustain a family

Of elephants otherwise

 

Plz Stop Sending Me Adoption Papers:

Good point

I’ll be there in thirty minutes

 

Babiest Fast Baby:

Alright, I’ll be waiting

Fuck you

Notes:

Next Chapter: the decaf trick is mentioned

Chapter 33: Is This The Real Life, Is This Just Fantasy

Summary:

Jaime is worried about Jason's well-being.

Notes:

Hi everyone
sorry I'm late witht he upload, I have no excuse I was just depressed lol
anyways here's the chapter, hope you enjoy! x

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Blue:

Hey so

Quick question

Do you think the decaf trick

Would work on Jason

Or is that a lost cause

 

Sups:

That bad huh?

 

Blue:

He hasn’t slept in 72 hours

Even Tim looked at him like

He’d lost his mind after

His 16th cup of coffee

 

Sups:

You know it depends how out of it

He really is

I never tried the decaf trick on Tim

When there was a chance

He could tell the difference

But if he really is that

Sleep deprived it might work

 

Blue:

I’m truly desperate

I’ve tried everything

I don’t even know why he’s so stressed

Out all of a sudden

 

Sups:

Maybe it’s wedding jitters?

 

Blue:

I guess it could be

I don’t know, every time

I bring it up to him he smiles

And says he can’t wait for us

To tie the knot

And he does seem genuine

I know he’s not hiding some

More life altering threats

As well

He’s been very transparent

About his work

I just don’t get it

 

Sups:

Well if it’s not the wedding

And it’s not work

What could have possibly happened?

 

Blue:

I have no clue

Everything is going great

As far as I know

I even checked with Bruce if they

Had had another falling out

But everything seems ok on that front

As well

I’m worried

 

Sups:

Hm

Apparently he doesn’t want to sleep

Does he avoid going to bed

At all?

 

Blue:

Now that I think about it he does

He always says

He’ll be there in a few minutes

And I end up falling asleep,

Waking up and finding him right

Where I left him

 

 

Sups:

I see

I’m thinking it might be

 nightmares resurfacing?

We had a period with Thad

Where he just would

Refuse going to sleep

Because of them

 

Blue:

Oh…

But why wouldn’t he tell me?

He never shied away from telling

Me about his nightmares before

We both get them from time to time

We help each other cope

 

Sups:

There is something odd about all this

Come to think of it

Maybe there are a lot of

strange things we’ve let slide

like the way he was treating

the whole Bruce and Alfred

organizing a whole wedding

for you guys without

your permission

He was almost… too passive

I mean of course it’s in part

Because he wants this

I don’t doubt that

But…

 

 

Blue:

But just letting anyone run his life

Isn’t a Jay thing to do…

You’re right

 

Sups:

Ok hear me out

I have a theory

Based on patterns

But I need to check it

I need to call in an expert

Do you trust me?

 

Blue:

You know I do

 

Sups:

Good

Just

Be there for Jay like you always are

For now

Don’t tell him about your suspicions

You can tell him

You’re worried about his lack of sleep

But that’s all

Let me handle the rest yeah?

 

Blue:

Ok…

You think it’s gonna take long?

 

Sups:

No, I think I can get to the

 Bottom of it by tonight

And maybe get you results by tomorrow

 

Blue:

That fast?

 

Sups:

If everything works in my favor, yes

 

Blue:

Thanks Kon

 

Sups:

You don’t gotta thank me

You guys are family

I’ll always take care of you both

 

Blue:

Still…

I’m so scared and without you

I’d have probably lost it already

 

Sups:

It’s gonna be ok

I promise

I’ll get back to you ASAP

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

Hey Thad

I need your help

 

Menace-In-Law :

Kon?

What’s up?

Something wrong?

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

I think so

I think Jason is going through something

And I think only you can help him

 

Menace-In-Law :

Me?

I mean, anything to help Jay of course but

Why would I be able to help?

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

I’ve been thinking a lot

About all the times

You talk about not knowing

What’s real and what isn’t

About thinking everything

Might be an illusion

I know you’ve said that was just

You being mentally ill

And sure, you got some issues, like

All of us

But I keep thinking

There’s more to it

You don’t just think you’re going insane

Don’t you

Something has been happening to you

Or has happened in the past

And you’re now scared it could

Happen again

 

 

Menace-In-Law :

… how did  you…

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

It’s just some things you said

The way you could never trust

Anything you saw or heard

Especially in the beginning

It wasn’t just you being traumatized

you looked like you had

valid reasons not to

 

Menace-In-Law :

You could say that…

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

Can you tell me what happened?

 

Menace-In-Law :

Well…

When I made that… deal

With the first Entity that came

To me

It was…

It was like my life was split in two

I told you about one reality, the one where I won

But there was another one

Where I took Bartie’s place and he took mine

I was living both at the same time

When I would fall asleep in one world

I would wake up in the other

Neither realities were really a walk in the park

To be honest…

But I’d call the one where

 I was impulse “dream land”

Because it was the least bad

Out of the two

I didn’t really take that one seriously though

And I wouldn’t spend that long

In it

Didn’t even get to live

The fun parts with friends and family

No everyone was already dead

Except for Bats, Damian I mean

I was working on how

To get back to the past

Anyway

I kept shifting between words

Not really knowing where

I belonged

Not knowing if I’d rather be the hero

Or the villain

If I’d rather have Bartie dead

Or hating my guts the same way

I always hated him

I guess I was…

Supposed to choose?

I couldn’t

I didn’t want either lives

So I just… tore through both worlds

And got to the speed force

I just wanted it all to end

 

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

I see…

And even now, with this new life

Every time you get a nightmare

You think you might be back in one

Or both of those worlds?

 

Menace-In-Law :

Yeah…

I sometimes wonder if I even got out

Or if I created this world in

My head as a coping mechanism

I’m getting a bit better at

Accepting that actually

This is my life now

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

I get it

It must not be easy, knowing

Real from fake

You talked about a first Entity

There were others?

 

Menace-In-Law :

Yeah…

First one was… straight up evil

The other two that came when

I was in the Speedforce, well

They were just kids

Teenagers, same age as Jon and Dami I’d

Guess.

They told me they were here to fix my mess

And that I’d have to repay them one day

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

Do you think they might do something

To hurt people here?

 

Menace-In-Law :

I don’t think they would

They weren’t tricksters

Or wronged gods or anything

Just kids wanting to preserve

The cosmos, something like that

Anyway I don’t see what this all have

To do with Jason

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

I just…

Some things about him

Have made me think that maybe

He might be experiencing

Something similar

Not exactly the same but

I feel like he has a hard time

Telling truth from fiction

He’s been trying not to fall asleep

These days

And I’m wondering if maybe…

 

Menace-In-Law :

I don’t think he’s living two

Realities at once

I think I would sense it

I would know if someone

Was playing with the

Space-time continuum again

But…

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

Yes?

 

Menace-In-Law :

It is possible he’s living through

A vivid illusion

Maybe one a lot less idyllic than his

Current life

Maybe it only happens when he falls asleep

I’ve heard of stuff like this happening

When the Reach was in power

And…

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

And?

 

Menace-In-Law :

Think about it

If you were in Jason’s shoes

That you had the life you have right now

Where everything is going really well

You have a great fiancé

You’re about to get married

You have a healthy relationship with your family

And you were also having illusions of a

Terrible life

Which one would you believe was the lie?

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

… yeah I’m afraid you might be

Right on target with this

You say the Reach was known for this?

 

Menace-In-Law :

It wasn’t exactly common knowledge

But I have heard of things like this happening

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

Jason got kidnapped by the Reach

not long before you got here

they did something to him

something we didn’t really understand at the time

I’m wondering if it was this

 

Menace-In-Law :

… if you’re right

That would mean he’s been

Surviving this for around a whole year

That would take an incredible amount

Of strength

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

Strength, stubbornness, spite

Whatever Jason runs on

It’s damned powerful

 

Menace-In-Law :

That may be, but I don’t think

He can go on much longer…

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

Yeah I don’t think he can either…

 

Menace-In-Law :

I think I need to talk to him

Get to the bottom of this

But first, I’ll need to check

My sources

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

I don’t like where this is going

 

Menace-In-Law :

Yeaaah I’m probably gonna need to

Check some abandoned Reach bases

To access their database

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

….

 

Menace-In-Law :

I know

But we don’t have time to argue

Jay needs us

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

I hate that you’re right

We can’t go without back up

 

Menace-In-Law :

We?

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

You think I’m letting you

 do that on your own?

 

Menace-In-Law :

Fair enough

I’ll call Wally

I think that’s reasonable

Don’t hide it from Bartie and Tim

But tell them to trust us

We can’t bring too many people

And in case something goes south

They need to be able to take action

I don’t think it will, since

The place I have in mind

Has been deserted since you guys

First destroyed the Reach

But we can’t be too careful

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

I’ll make sure they don’t go berserk

The fact Wally will be with us

Will probably help alleviate their worries

Do I tell them why we’re doing this?

 

Menace-In-Law :  

Not yet

Just tell them we have reasons to believe

The family is in danger and we need the data

If they panic and

It gets back to Jason it could be disastrous

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

Gotcha

Let’s hurry then

 

Menace-In-Law :

Yep, Walls’s already

On his way to me

Just meet us at the coordinates

I’m sending you

Once you’re done explaining

 

Will Probably Kill Me One Day:

You got it

 

Notes:

soooo... yeah turns out it wasn't a happy subplot I was cooking
Idk I needed more drama I guess, but if you look back all throughout this fic there were signs...

Next chapter: Jason goes to sleep

Chapter 34: Time To Wake Up

Summary:

Thad confronts Jason about what he learned

Notes:

Anyways I got to work today and now I get to upload yay!

Chapter Text

My Fav Speedster Boi:

Jason

I need to talk to you

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

What’s up Thad

Something happened to you?

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

No, something happened to YOU

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

Huh?

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

I have reasons to believe

Your mind is being played with

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

Yeah, I’d figured as much

I don’t know how you did though

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

Kon asked for my help

And we’ve done research

It started after the Reach abducted

You didn’t it?

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

It… did

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

What do you see

When you close your eyes

What happens when

 you fall asleep Jason

 

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

… they still came for me

The team, my brothers, Bruce, Jaime

They didn’t make it

They all died because of me

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

Oh Jay…

This is not what happened

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

Yeah, you’d say that

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

It’s the truth

This is reality

The other one is just a nightmare

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

I want to believe you

I do

But this all being a dream

Makes a lot more sense

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

Why?

Why would something bad being reality

Make more sense?

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

Cause this is how my life goes

This is what always happens

Everything I love dies around me

I lose everything

Time and time again

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

You WILL lose everything if you refuse

To accept the good outcome is true

This time

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

You think I want to deny this for myself?!

You think I want to lose everything?!

I can’t even fall asleep in case

I can never come back here!

I’m trying my hardest to hold on

To this life!

At least until the wedding…

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

Why until then?

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

I just…

I just want a glimpse of a lifetime with Jaime

Even if it’s fake

I want to feel like it could have been real

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

Jason, listen to me

Even if you can’t believe

It’s real right now, you don’t

Want the other world to be real either

Right?

So just… stop believing in it

Stop believing it’s all you deserve

Stop believing it’s all you get

They can’t keep you prisoner Jason

You got out

 

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

I didn’t…

Not there anyway

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

Then get the fuck out

If you’re right, and it’s the reality

You truly have nothing to lose right?

So next time you’re stuck there,

Do everything in your power to

Get out of your prison

You’re not powerless

In either world

So don’t stay down

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

What would be the point?

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

Well since I know for a fact

It’s fake it will help you take

Control of your mind back

But you don’t believe that yet

So instead, you can see it as

One last blaze of glory

Fuck their shit up Jay

It’s what you’re best at

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

… you know, you don’t exist

In nightmare realm

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

S’why it’s nightmarish

Can you imagine life without me?

Truly terrible

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

I know you’re joking

But you’re right

You’re a good kid Thad

And

If by some miracle

This is actually reality

I’m glad you’re here

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

I’m glad to be here as well

Glad to be part of this clan

I’ve worked too hard to get to where I am

Dreams don’t take that much work

You’ve worked hard too

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

I… did

I really did

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

You need to go to sleep

You need to confront your nightmare

Free yourself from the mind control

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

Or die trying

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

I swear to you

When you wake up next

It will be next to your fiancé

Very much alive and very much

Happy you’re finally free

 

Top 2 Best Robin Easy:

I’m gonna hold you to that promise

 

My Fav Speedster Boi:

I know

Good luck Jay

Future Hubby:

I’m going to sleep

 

Bichito:

You… are?

Wait, did I miss anything?

Kon just said he needed

To call me but I was holding

The grocery bags

 

Future Hubby:

You should probably call him then

He’ll explain better than I can right now

For now, I’m going to sleep

But before I do

I need to tell you I love you

 

Bichito:

I love you too Tesoro

Are you ok?

Future Hubby:

No, I’m not

I don’t even know if I’ll ever see you again

 

Bichito:

What do you mean

Of course you will

I’ll be home in less than an hour

 

Future Hubby:

It’s not…

I’m glad you’ll be home

And I hope to see you when I wake up

If I wake up

 

Bichito:

Jay, you’re scaring me

 

Future Hubby:

I don’t mean to

I just need you to know

You’re everything I’ve ever dreamed of

And maybe that’s why I just can’t

Believe my luck

But I want to

I want to believe I can have this life

With you

That I earned it

 

Bichito:

You did

 

Future Hubby:

Maybe I did…

You know I might have seemed

A bit out of it these days

And maybe like I wasn’t taking

Anything seriously

But truth is there is nothing

More important to me right now

Than the life we’ve built

The life we’re still building

And I’ll do anything in my power

To preserve it

 

Bichito:

I know that Jay

But we’re ok

Everything is ok

 

Future Hubby:

If

When I next wake up

Everything will be

I’ll see you then…

I love you

 

Bichito:

I… I don’t understand everything

But I’ll be there when you wake up love

Chapter Text

Blossom:

I have truly never seen anyone

Eat as many chicken nuggets

In my entire life

That’s literally all Jay has done all day   

 

Bubbles:

Well, having a renewed appetite

Shows he’s feeling better doesn’t it

 

 

Buttercup:

Yeah agreed

 

Blossom:

Oh I’m not complaining

His cholesterol levels might though

Plus every chicken nuggets enjoyers

In the city cause he’s depleting the supply

                           

 

Bubbles:

How’s he doing otherwise?

 

Blossom:

He’s ok I think

He’s letting himself

Be coddled to death

Without complaining

And he accepted he needed

To rest without arguing

 

 

Buttercup:

I’m always worried

When he’s being reasonable

 

 

Bubbles:

I think he just lacks the energy

He’s probably been seriously

Drained

Can you imagine fighting against

Illusions for a whole year…

 

 

Buttercup:

It’s quite possible

I would have gone on a killing

Rampage in his place

 

Blossom:

Yeah same

Then again maybe he did in

His mind, and I wouldn’t

Fault him for that

                           

 

Bubbles:

Did he start talking about

What he went through in

The illusion?

 

 

Blossom:

He’s mentioned

Some things

But didn’t go into details

I think he did talked a bit more

About it to Jaime            

 

Buttercup:

Is Blue doing ok?

 

Blossom:

He’s shaken

But he’s glad Jay is ok

That’s all that matters

He did talk about postponing

The wedding but the haunted

Look on Jay’s face at the idea

Made him change his mind       

 

Bubbles:

Yeah, from what Thad told me

This wedding really helped him

Not lose all hope

 

 

Buttercup:

Speaking of Thad

It might be a good idea to learn more

About what he went through

From what I gathered

We’ve only scratched the surface

Blossom:

Yeah I agree

                           

 

Bubbles:

I wouldn’t worry too much

I think helping Jason through

This situation finally made him

Anchor himself to reality for good

 

 

Buttercup:

You think so?

 

Bubbles:

Yeah

He honestly looks more

Serene than I’ve ever seen him

I do wonder about all those strange

Entities he met

But I’m guessing he’ll talk to us about them

Eventually

 

 

 

Buttercup:

Let’s hope so

Damn this is all so stressful

Can our brothers be alright

For more than a few months

For once?

 

Blossom:

Have you seen the lot of them?

They all share the same

Second name and that’s trouble

But they’re getting there

I’m sure they are

                           

 

Bubbles:

Let’s just be happy they’re all ok right now

I mean mostly

Jay still has to make Dami not mad at him

Anymore

 

 

Buttercup:

I take it he didn’t take Jay hiding

He was literally losing his mind to

Everyone that well

 

Blossom:

Yeah that’s an understatement

The only reason he didn’t just

Deck him on sight is Jaime begged him

Not to

                           

 

Bubbles:

I get it though

He’s been making an effort

And trying to be less reckless

And tell people when something

Happens

Jason himself got on his case about that

And yet here he is

 

 

Buttercup:

Yeah the double standard

Probably doesn’t help

 

Blossom:

In Jay’s defense, he thought

We were all the product

Of his own imagination

 

 

Bubbles:

Which means he thinks

Having all of us in his life is a dream

That’s kinda adorable

I wanna hug him

 

 

Buttercup:

That’s one way to see it

Anyways Damian will get over it

 

Blossom:

Yeah he just needs to get

It out of his system

Alright, Dickie just got here

And he’s being emo again

So I’ll let him fuss over Jay

And come back cause honestly

I can’t stand him being so mushy

Today

 

Bubbles:

Poor Dickie

Just let him care smh

 

 

Buttercup:

Plus it annoys Jason which is

A bonus

 

Blossom:

Hm true

I’ll see you soon babes

                           

 

Bubbles:

See you Timmy <3

 

Buttercup:

Oh that’s my queue

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Blossom:

goofball           

 

Bubbles:

We trained him well

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Stop hacking my Spotify 

And changing the song every ten seconds

I swear to God if I have to hear

No One Mourns the Wicked

One more time

 

 

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I’m making sure you know

What will happen if you’re stupid

Enough to die again

I’m making a giant effigy of you

And inviting people so we can celebrate

And burn it to a crisp

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Everyone has their own

Grief process

I won’t fault you for yours

Don’t know if you’d

Pull off Glinda’s high notes though

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

When there’s a will there’s a way

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

If you say so

Listen kiddo

I owe you an apology

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

It doesn’t fucking matter

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

It does

I hurt you

And that’s not ok

You know I didn’t hide

What was going on because

I don’t trust you right?

I honestly just thought

None of you were real

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

It’s not an excuse

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Yeah, I guess it’s not

And I know you hate

Feeling powerless

And that you want us to rely

On you

And I know you’re almost fully grown

At this point

But you’re still my baby brother

I know you don’t want to hear it

But it’s true

It will always be difficult

For me to burden you with

My problems

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

You’re stupid, and dumb

Did I mention you were an

Insufferable cretin?

 

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Love you too

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

It’s not like I hadn’t clocked

Something was wrong with you

Not knowing what is wrong

But knowing something is

Is a lot more burdensome

Than you reaching out

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

You have a point…

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Never do anything like that again

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

You got it babybats

We cool now?

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

No.

I’m still pissed at you

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

I guess that’s fair

Anything I can do to change that?

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Hm

Cover for me and tell Father

I’m at yours tomorrow

And probably the rest of the week

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Huh

What are you planning

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Nothing concerning

Just a small trip with Jon

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

A trip where?

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

That’s none of your business

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

You’re such a little shit

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

And you owe me

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Fine

If you get yourself killed

I’m playing MALE POP at your funerals

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

You wouldn’t dare

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Try me

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Evil bastard

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

And don’t let lil Jonnie

Be killed either

I don’t want that on my conscience

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Why are you so sure we’re gonna get in

Trouble?

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Damian

I mean this with love

I have absolutely no confidence

In your ability to stay out of trouble

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Look who’s talking

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Exactly, that’s what

I’m saying

It’s one of our shared traits

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Well, I’ll just have to prove you wrong

I’ll even bring you a souvenir

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

From where?

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I’m still not telling you

Matter of fact I have to go

Thanks in advance for the cover up

Get some rest and drink some water

Bye

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

You brat

Chapter Text

Absolute Cutie:

I have decided I am not

Moving from the couch today.

 

Thad:

Let me guess

Candle fell asleep in your lap

Again

 

Absolute Cutie:

*picture attached*

This calls for hibernation.

 

Thad:

Treat yourself babe

 

Absolute Cutie:

Thank you, I will.

Where did you go by the way,

You didn’t tell me?

I hope you didn’t go on another

Secret mission without telling me.

I got worried last time.

 

Thad:

Yeah I know, I’m sorry about that

I was so preoccupied

I didn’t even take the time

To tell you

It won’t happen again

Also no, no secret mission this time

I’m just looking

For a new desk for my room

Went to Ikea

I’m completely lost and about to

Commit homicide I think but it’s cool

 

Absolute Cutie:

You should have told me,

I would have gone with you.

 

Thad:

I should get used to doing

That kind of things

By myself sometimes

Besides, it was a spur of the moment

Kinda thing

Just felt like my room was looking sad

So I thought I’d add a desk

And maybe some decor I don’t know

Paint the walls or something

 

Absolute Cutie:

It’s a nice project

 

Thad:

Yeah

I guess after the whole thing with

Jason I realized

I can’t keep living my life like I’m

On borrowed time

And not commit to anything

I want to feel like things

Are permanent

Even though in the grand scheme of things

Nothing ever really is

But at least make it…

Solid. Tangible

 

 

Absolute Cutie:

I understand.

You need to feel like you belong.

Which you do, by the way.

And to that end you’re trying

To make our place as much

Of a home as possible.

 

Thad:

Exactly!

Ugh, you always get me

So well, you’re the best

 

Absolute Cutie:

I just understand where you’re

Coming from

 

Thad:

Precisely

By the way just so you know

While I’m trying to make

Things more cosy and homey

Material things aren’t what

Makes our place a home in my eyes

 

Absolute Cutie:

They aren’t?

 

Thad:

No

But you do

You and Candle of course

 

Absolute Cutie:

Oh

I feel the same way.

 

Thad:

<3 I’m glad

 

Absolute Cutie:

Me too.

Hey, we should go out tonight.

 

Thad:

I thought you said you

Would not move from

the couch today

 

Absolute Cutie:

That was the plan.

But now I think I’d rather

Take you on a date.

 

Thad:

A… date?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes.

Is that ok?

 

Thad:

I… yes

Yes it’s perfectly fine

 

Absolute Cutie:

Great.

Then we’re going on a date tonight.

 

Thad:

Where are we going?

 

Absolute Cutie:

It’s a surprise.

 

Thad:

Oh is it now?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes.

I’ll make it nice I promise.

 

Thad:

I know you will

Gee I’m a bit nervous…

 

 

Absolute Cutie:

Don’t be.

It’s just us.

We’re always good when we’re together.

 

Thad:

True but…

Well, it’s my first ever date

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yeah mine too.

But we’re pretty good

At trying out new things aren’t we?

 

Thad:

I guess we are…

I’m really glad I get to have my

First date with you in any case

 

Absolute Cutie:

Me too Thad.

I’ll see you tonight at 6.30 ?

 

Thad:

You got it <3

Serial Hugging Dad:

WHERE ARE YOU

DO I NEED TO BRING MY SHOT GUN

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Wait, since when do you have a shot gun?

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

THAT’S IRRELEVANT RIGHT NOW

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Y’all are so dramatic

What’s happening Thad?

I’m Like TT:

Aksdjdjfnronvr

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

 Very eloquent

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

My sweet baby angel what is

Happening to you?!

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I really would like to go back on

That shot gun comment at some point

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Jason just left it here, I decided

To claim it to punish him

For being messy

Can we get back to what the code red is?

 

 

I’m Like TT:

You really shouldn’t

 Have a shot gun Walls

You were talking about Bartie

But at least he know how to

handle guns

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Exactly!

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I have to agree with the kids on this one

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Stop ganging up on me and

 TELL ME WHAT’S HAPPENING

 

I’m Like TT:

Alright alright!

Jeez!

Well um

I have a date

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

!!!!!!

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

A WHAT

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

OH MY GOD

IS IT REALLY HAPPENING

 

I’m Like TT:

YES IT IS

COLE ASKED ME OUT FIFTEEN MINUTES AGO

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Damn the boy don’t play!

Jay will be so proud!

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Ok, putting aside the fact

That apparently the Robins have been

Meddling AGAIN

This is monumental news!

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT

EVER HAPPENED SINCE THE

INVENTION OF CROP TOPS

 

I’m Like TT:

I KNOW

I’m so excited but at the same time

Really nervous?

Like, what do I do?

What should I wear?

Should I get him a present

Or something?

What do you do on first dates?

What do you do on first dates with

Someone you already know?

So many questions!

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

My child

You’ve grown up so much

You’re finally experiencing

First date spiraling!

A rite of passage we all must

Go through!

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

First of all you need to breathe

Cause you’re gonna work yourself

Into a frenzy

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

And second you need to tell me

Where you are cause we’re

Going shopping

This very instant for date clothes!

 

I’m Like TT:

Oh, I’m at Ikea right now

Was looking for a desk

But honestly that can wait now

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

K be right there!

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Ok Bartie’s got the what to wear

Question covered

We’ll deal with the rest

Honey will you do the honors?

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

With pleasure

First of all as you probably can guess

First dates are typically designed to

Be able to get to know someone

However when you’re going on a date

With a friend, especially one as close

As Cole is to you, this doesn’t exactly apply

The trick is to not let yourself be

Overwhelmed by the fact this is

A date and remember that you are

In a safe space with someone

Who knows you

So instead of feeling pressured

To show yourself in a new light

Take solace in the fact that he

Already knows you and likes you

Which is why he asked you out

And make sure you enjoy the moment

Nerves are normal and perfectly ok

But don’t let the anxiety take over

 

 

I’m Like TT:

Right, enjoy the moment, got it…

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

As for gifts well

Do you want to bring one?

Cause that’s all that really matters

If you want to and feel comfortable doing so

Then I say do it

It doesn’t have to be anything fancy

Just something thoughtful

And meaningful to him

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I always bring Tim coffee before a date

And I buy Kon hoodies

That I then steal from him

He loves that

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Good example

Dickie and I are sentimental saps

I always get him chocolates

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

And he gets flowers cause it makes

Him giddy

And then I get to say some cheesy

Ridiculous line about him being

The most beautiful flower of all

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Ugh

Terrible

 

I’m Like TT:

I think they’re cute

Ok something meaningful…

Oh I know!

I’ll get him a keychain picture locket

With pics of Candle in it!

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I can’t

I’m going to cry and then die

WHY ARE YOU SO ADORABLE

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

He truly is tearing up

Just so you know

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I’ll admit that was particularly precious

 

I’m Like TT:

So… good idea?

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

GREAT IDEA

THE BEST

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

I would give everything to see

The look on his face when

You give it to him

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I can hear the wheels turning

In both your heads

You will not be spying on them tonight

You hear me?

 

I’m Like TT:

Yeah please don’t

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

We haven’t even said anything!

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

This is slander!

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I’m warning you

I will be monitoring you

Overbearing idiots

 

I’m Like TT:

Thanks Bartie

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

This isn’t fair

We’re just being supportive!

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Yeah you’re being very mean to us!

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Yeah yeah

Piss off now, I’m turning Thad into

A smoke show

 

I’m Like TT:

He’s really invested

He’s made me try like

300 pairs of pants

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Trust him he’s an expert

You wouldn’t think so with

All the questionable things

He dresses himself in

Yet he does have a good eye

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Yeah you’d think it would translate

Into him not wearing such eyesores

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Just cause you guys ae scared of color

Doesn’t mean my clothes are an eyesore

Plus I always look great

Proof: I’m the one with TWO boyfriends

I’m Like TT:

He’s got a point

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Can’t argue with that logic

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

I mostly think he’s got two boyfriends

Cause one isn’t enough to handle him

But if you say so

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

:)

what do you mean Wallace :)

I’m Like TT:

Oh boy

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

He walked right into that one

Ran at full speed more like

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

I was only kidding Bartie

Sunshine of my existence

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Very funny :)

Say that to my face next time :)

I’m Like TT:

I don’t know how I fought

Against this absolute psychopath

For years and lived to tell the tale

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Yeah we don’t know either

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

I’m tapping into my emergency

Ice cream fund

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Yay ice cream!

I’m Like TT:

This is your Bartie contingency plan?

Ice cream?

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Whatever works

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

It’s the only sure fire way to placate him

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Ok guys, I think I did it this time

*picture attached*

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Oh damn Thad

Looking good!

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

My little Thaddie!!!

Bartie did his job you do look hot!

 

 

I’m Like TT:

Thanks guys

I need that confidence boost

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Colie’s gonna pass out for sure

Seeing you

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Very surprised Bartie didn’t try to

Put you in a crop top

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

He’s not ready for that step yet

But soon

Soon crop top supremacy will rise again

 

I’m Like TT:

One can dream

 

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I managed with Kon

Anything’s possible

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

I’m still impressed by that

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Yeah me too

I’m still mad how well

He pulled those off

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

He can pull anything off

Anyways, Ill just add some finishing touches

The Baby:

The nerve

Groupchat

 (I Have Made This Groupchat To Talk About

My First Date With All Interested Parties.)

 

Cole Kent created a group chat

Cole Kent Added  Conner Kent, Jon Kent and Jason Todd to the group

 

Cole Kent:

It has come to my attention

That, due to my forgetfulness

And carelessness,

I have excluded you

From being part of an important

Moment in my life,

And to that I apologize.

As a show of good faith,

I am willing to share with you all,

Most valuable family members,

A bit more about

What occurred during

Said important moment,

That is to say my first date.

 

Jon Kent:

Why is your apology so formal

Also you shouldn’t apologize just

Cause of overbearing

big (little) brothers/Jason

 

Conner Kent:

Um yes he should

 

Jason Todd:

Um yes he should

Omg twinsies!

Cole Kent:

I was honestly not trying to exclude

All of you.

Thad was just being

Particularly loveable yesterday,

So I decided to ask him out.

And then because it was an

Impulsive decisions,

I had to plan everything

Last minute and didn’t

Think to tell anyone.

I probably should have

Guessed Thad would ask the others

For advice and anticipated to be honest.

Jon Kent:

That’s perfectly valid

Plus you don’t owe anyone

Anything

No matter how crazy and

Nosy they are

 

Conner Kent:

Reluctantly the kid is right

I’m just being dramatic

I do that sometimes

 

Jason Todd:

And I have no sense of normal

Boundaries cause I was raised

By a man who dresses as

A Bat to go beat up clowns and stuff

Anyway you included me in the

“Most valuable family members” list

So I’m pretty happy

 

Cole Kent:

I feel better now, thank you.

Also of course you’re family Jason.

I mean first you’re

The brother of two of my brothers-in-law.

Also you’re always there for me

No matter what and I

Really couldn’t thank you

Enough for that if I tried.

I really appreciate and love you.

 

Jason Todd:

BOY DON’T BE DOING THIS

TO ME RIGHT NOW

I’M IN A VULNERABLE STATE

THESE DAYS YOURE GONNA MAKE

ME CRY

 

Jon Kent:

Aw Jay it’s ok!

Just let it out!

We all love you <3

 

Jason Todd:

Why are you ganging up on me

This is emotional terrorism

 

Conner Kent:

I’m having a lot of fun

Cole Kent:

Don’t you dare laugh at Jason

Showing his feelings Conner or

I’ll punch you to the sun.

 

Jason Todd:

Well damn

 

Cole Kent:

Sorry, too much?

 

Jon Kent:

Nah just enough

It’s what Kon deserves 😡 😡 😡

APOLOGIZE CONNER

YOU INSENSITIVE ASSHOLE

 

Conner Kent:

Alright alright jeez

I’m sorry Jason

I just find it funny and cute

When Robins are experiencing

✨Emotions✨

 

Cole Kent:

Which should be encouraged.

 

Jason Todd:

Y’all are too adorable

Poor Connie was just teasing

It’s ok

I know he loves me the most

 

Conner Kent:

Don’t push your luck punk

Cole Kent:

Conner.

 

Jon Kent:

😡 😡 😡

 

Conner Kent:

Ugh fine!

I love you Jay, you’re my

Favorite brother-in-law

….

<3

 

Jason Todd:

!!!!

YOU ABSOLUTE TEDDY BEAR YOU

I LOVE YOU TOO

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

 

Jon Kent:

Screenshotted! 🥰 🥰 🥰

 

Conner Kent:

My Life is suffering

Cole Kent:

I’m so proud of you.

 

Conner Kent:

I guess that makes it worth it

Anyway can we get back on track to the

Whole first date thing?

 

Cole Kent:

Oh, sure.

That was the original purpose

Of this groupchat that’s true.

 

 

Jon Kent:

Wait! First lemme just

 

Jon Kent changed Cole Kent’s name to “Lover Boi”

Jon Kent Changed Conner Kent’s name to “Very Soft Boi”

Jon Kent changed Jason Todd’s name to “Boi We Stole From The Robins”

Jon Kent Changed his own name to “Jonnie Boi”

 

Jonnie Boi:

That’s better

You can go on Colie

 

Lover Boi:

Thanks I guess.

So as I was saying,

Yesterday Thad and I were talking,

And he said something that

Made me think it was the right

Time to ask him on a date.

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

What was it?

 

Lover Boi:

He said something about me

(and Candle, he never forgets

Candle because he is perfect

And beautiful and precious)

Being his home.

 

Jonnie Boi:

😭 😭 😭

SO ROMANTIC OMG

 

Very Soft Boi:

Ngl he got game

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

God damn it if Dickiebird

Learns about this he’s gonna claim

It was his influence

 

Jonnie Boi:

He learned from the best then

Anyway that made you ask him out

 

Lover Boi:

Yes.

I just felt like it was the right

Time.

I was ready, and it felt

Like he was too.

So I did, and he said yes,

And then I realized I had little time

To plan.

But to be honest I had thought

About it a lot so I already

Had ideas.

Jason and I had brainstorming

Sessions.

 

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I’m great at planning dates

 

Very Soft Boi:

You are?

I wouldn’t have thought

I guess I’ll ask Jaime to confirm

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I find your lack of faith disturbing

Anyway what did you end up going

With Colie?

 

 

Lover Boi:

Well, since neither

Thad or me are particularly

Fond of crowds

Or strangers in general,

I thought I should limit

Our social interactions with

Outsiders.

So I ruled out all the classic first date

Popular places

Like restaurant, cinema, fair,

All of that.

I liked the idea of a picnic somewhere

Secluded though.

And there’s a place I go to when

I can’t deal with all the noise in the city

Anymore that I always wanted to

Show him, so I decided on going there.

I made sure everything was ready

And perfect,

And then I went to get him

And I flew us there.

 

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

You started the date by flying

Him there?

Damn I didn’t even think about

You doing that

Clearly the student has surpassed

The master!

 

Jonnie Boi:

I haven’t even done that

Ever

Now I really want to

 

Very Soft Boi:

It’s a classic move, works every time

Makes everyone swoon

No exception

I bet Thad was red as a poppy

 

Lover Boi:

Yes, he was.

It was very cute

When I pointed it out

He just hid his face in my chest.

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

You Supers have underrated

Powers of seduction

I’m going to take notes

 

Jonnie Boi:

You should ask Jaime to take you flying some time

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

You, dear boy, are a genius

I’m adding that to my to do list

( a list composed of basically just

Jaime’s name)

 

Very Soft Boi:

JASON PETER TODD

NOT IN FRONT OF THE KIDS

Lover Boi:

I don’t get it.

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

I’ll explain later Colie

 

Very Soft Boi:

You will What, Jonathan?

Jonnie Boi:

Hm? 😇

Anyways continue your tale

Cole!

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

You know, I’m starting to understand

Why you and Dams are together

But yes continue Cole we’re sorry

For the tangent

Lover Boi:

It’s alright.

So we got to the place,

And he looked at everything, and

Apparently he really loved

My idea, and thanked me for

All the efforts I’d put in,

Which I didn’t really understand,

Because it’s our first date,

Of course I’d make sure

It was great and memorable.

It’s what I’m supposed to do isn’t it?

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I swear to God

I will murder anyone who

Looks at you the wrong way

 

Very Soft Boi:

He’s got the right idea

You know Colie, Thad’s

Still not used to the idea that

People will want to be in his life

Let alone go out of their way

To make him happy

So even if you’d just taken him

To eat cheap burgers at the nearest

Fast food he’d probably be happy

But you planned something

Very thoughtful with him in mind

And you shared a place

That had meaning to you with him

Of course he was moved

 

Lover Boi:

Oh.

That’s good then.

 

Very Soft Boi:

Very good yes

 

Jonnie Boi:

I just hope he didn’t get too

Self-conscious

I know sometimes when we’re not used

To being treated right

We tend to spiral and wonder if we

Shouldn’t do more to repay it

 

Lover Boi:

He did a little.

He said he felt ridiculous

Cause he didn’t think the gift

He’d gotten me was

Good enough now.

I didn’t even think

He would get me a gift.

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Why are you both the

Most precious thing that

Has ever graced planet Earth…

 

Very Soft Boi:

What gift did he bring you?

 

Lover Boi:

He bought me a keychain locket,

And he put pictures of Candle in it.

It was honestly perfect.

Well, almost.

Since there’s two sides I told him

He should have put a picture of himself

On the other side so I could

Look at both of my favorite people

When I opened it.

He choked on his drink.

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

You almost killed the poor boy

 

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Unstoppable rizz

It’s actually scary

Lover Boi:

I just say what’s on my mind.

Anyway we had a great time,

Eating and talking.

He smiled the whole time.

He’s very pretty when he smiles,

So I was smiling too I think.

I don’t know.

I think I’ve been doing that

More often these days.

 

Very Soft Boi:

Yeah that tends to happen

When someone’s happy

 

Jonnie boi:

What happened next?

 

Lover Boi:

We stayed for hours,

A lot longer than I had

Anticipated, but it was so nice

We didn’t even really want to go home.

At some point, he was telling me

A story about his day

With Bart,

( by the way Conner, can you tell him

He did a great job helping Thad

Choose an outfit and I do agree

He looked very hot).

 

Jonnie Boi:

!!!

This is the first time you call

Anyone, let alone Thad hot!

 

Very Soft Boi:

I don’t think that’s the point Jonnie

But Bartie will be glad to hear his

Work is appreciated

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I will need photo evidence

I’ll go harass Thad later

But you were saying?

Lover Boi:

Well he was talking, and

I was trying to focus, but honestly

He looked so good I kind of

Lost my head for a bit,

And spaced out, so he

Noticed of course.

And he asked me if I was ok,

And I just said that I was,

I just couldn’t concentrate because

I was thinking of kissing him.

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

So blunt

Yet effective

Or at least I hope it was

 

Jonnie Boi:

WHAT. DID. HE. SAY.

Lover Boi:

He said I only had to ask.

So I did.

And then he actually

Kissed me first.

I wasn’t expecting that,

But I don’t think I froze for too long.

 

 

Very Soft Boi:

Our strongest soldier

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

What are your thoughts on kissing

Then champ?

 

Lover Boi:

I was a bit confused at first,

But both Thad and I learn fast,

So by the third one

I think we’d gotten the hang of it.

To be frank we haven’t really stopped kissing

Since yesterday.

 

Jonnie Boi:

Now this is what I call a

Successful date!

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Yeah our boy got it in one!

Good job Colie!

 

Very Soft Boi:

I’m really glad you both had

Such a great time

But with how fast things are progressing

Please do seek out Dickie for that presentation

Of his

I hate saying it but better be informed

 

Jonnie Boi:

😯

Kon showing character growth

And resigning to the fact

That sex is gonna happen

This is a Christmas miracle 😭

 

Very Soft Boi:

You’re still banned from even thinking about it

Jonnie don’t test me

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Boy and I thought Dickie was in denial

You two should form a club

Lover Boi:

I mean, not that I don’t want to

Learn more about sexual intercourse,

Because I’m still very confused.

But mostly right now I’m trying to

Decide if I should ask Thad

To be my boyfriend or

If it’s too early.

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

That’s…

Wow, the purity of this relationship

Is almost blinding

 

Jonnie Boi:

There isn’t really a timeline on

Those things

Especially with you two being

So close and already living

Together anyway

If it feels right it feels right

 

Lover Boi:

Oh.

Really?

 

Very Soft Boi:

Yeah Jon’s right

All the arbitrary rules and

Etiquette is just made up

If you want to be in a relationship

With him and you have a feeling he

Does too then just talk about it

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

If you’re done making out

That is

 

Very Soft Boi:

Cease.

 

Lover Boi:

I feel a lot better about it now.

Thank you.

I guess I’ll talk to him about it

When he wakes up from his nap.

He fell asleep

While we were watching

Princess and the Frog,

You know when the firefly starts singing

A ballad.

 

Jonnie Boi:

To be fair Evangeline is

A very soothing song

Plus if your date went on for

Long yesterday he probably didn’t get

Much sleep

Lover Boi:

Yes, we did come back very late.

Anyways I think I’ve told you everything

Thanks for listening

 

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Are you kidding?

That was quality story telling

Plus if Thad is asleep that means

I got the deets before Grayson

And that makes me even happier

 

Jonnie Boi:

Yeah we were glad to hear

All about your adorable love life!

Now if you all excuse me

I have to go take my boyfriend

On a flying date

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I’m sending drones to take

Pictures of you I don’t care

I’ll put it in the manor

To traumatize Brucie

 

Very Soft Boi:

Damian is going to obliterate you

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Worth it

 

Lover Boi:

Have fun Jon,

I’m sure Damian will love the idea.

Say hi to him for me.

 

Jonnie Boi:

Will do Colie <3

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I have to go as well

Wedding preparations are back in

Full force and I apparently

Have to choose the party favors

Or Alfred will cut me into pieces

And put me in the gift bags instead

Lover Boi:

That sounds graphic.

Good luck Jason, talk to you

Later.

 

Very Soft Boi:

Yeah bye you punk

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Is punk your petname for me Connie?

 

Very Soft Boi:

Stop calling me Connie!

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

😁  💖

Lover Boi:

You guys have a very funny,

Yet endearing relationship.

 

Very Soft Boi:

Yeah yeah

Just go back to your boyfriend or something

 

Lover Boi:

Not my boyfriend yet.

But soon hopefully.

Very Soft Boi:

I don’t doubt it one second

Lover Boi:

I hope you’re right.

See you later Kon.

Love you.

 

Very Soft Boi:

Love you too lil bro

Step 2:  ascertain if you have a chance with said Best Friend   ✔ 

 

Step 3:    start flirting with Best Friend   ✔ 

 

Step 4:   make sure you move in with Best Friend    ✔ 

 

Step 5: show off your domestic side   ✔ 

 

Step 6:  ask Best Friend out on a date or several (optional, things might work out in the strangest way otherwise)  ✔ 

 

Step 7: define relationship with Best Friend who hopefully now becomes Significant Other  ✔ 

 

Step 8: tell Significant Other you love them (could happen anywhere between step 5 and now)            

 

Step 9: make sure you marry Significant Other                

                                                                               

Step 10: Live happily ever after               

                                                                                                               

Diclaimer: this method, while proved efficient, might not apply to every situation. Use with caution and apply steps as they fit your own relationship.

Hope you enjoy! x

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

What in the ever living hell did you and Jon do

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

I beg your pardon?

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

You’re glowing!

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Is that your way to ask if I’m pregnant?

Cause I have some news for you

About human anatomy

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

This is not a joking matter Damian!

You and Jon are both LITERALLY glowing!

I didn’t notice until now but since seeing you

With my suit and helmet on it’s glaringly obvious

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Oh

Crap

Almost got away with it

Should have known

Something like this might happen

So your scarab enables you

To see signs of the ritual

I guess that makes sense

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

RITUAL

WHAT RITUAL

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Calm down!

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

DO NOT TELL ME TO CALM DOWN

YOURE GLOWING AND

APPARENTLY PARTICIPATED IN A SHADY RITUAL

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

In my defense

It’s totally Jon’s fault

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

You have two seconds to tell me

Absolutely everything before

I tell Tim.

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Oh God please no

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Then spill.

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Fine!

So um

Maybe Jay told you I had him

Cover for me for a week

Cause I went on a road trip with Jon?

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Yeah, I caught him blatantly lying on

The phone to Bruce

Where were you

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

… in space?

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

….

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Look, I know it sounds bad

But nothing happened

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

YOU CAME BACK GLOWING LIKE

A LIGHTBULB

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Yeah but we weren’t harmed in anyway

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

What possessed you to do something so stupid?

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

I don’t know

We just felt like it

We hadn’t gone to space yet

And we found an old spaceship

On one of our mission

We managed to repair it

With some help from his holo-grandpa

In the Fortress of Solitude

And we decided to test it out

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Honestly if I were your parents I’d have already

Died of a heart attack

I’m not sure I’m not getting one right now

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

I think you’re overreacting

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

You’re on thin ice, be careful

Tell me how you two became fluorescent

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Well um

We ended up on a planet with very nice

People who apparently had

Heard of Superman, since

They reacted to the El crest on Jon’s chest

Like they were seeing God or something

They decided to throw us a party

And once we were sure they weren’t

About to try and sacrifice us

Or something we just graciously accepted

Communication was a bit difficult in the beginning

But they had really advanced technology

That managed to do approximate translations

Some things probably got lost

But it did the trick well enough

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Then what happened

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

I don’t know how we got

To the subject but they were talking

About their Gods putting us in their path

And that one of the girls in the village

Had expressed the desire to find

A life partner, which in their

Tradition means they gather

Everyone of an appropriate age group

And they all go through some sort of trial

To find out if they are the right person for them

Then the parents of the girl

Looked at both Jon and I for a while

And then stopped their focus

On me and said I should try out

But the way they said it didn’t seem

Like it was a request to be honest

 

 

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Oh boy

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Yeah my thoughts exactly

I was trying to think of how to get

Out of the situation without

Causing a diplomatic incident

When Jon just calmly said I couldn’t

Cause I was already his

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Lmao he would

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Yeah

They all got silent for a while

And I really thought we were

Going to have to fight our way

Out of this planet

But then they said he had to prove

It and go through the trial

To see if he was the one meant

For me

Which to me sounded

Like a terrible idea

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Cause it was

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Try telling that to Jon

He said yes without hesitation

And then they announced the trial

Today would be about me and not this girl anymore

I kinda felt bad

But honestly looking at her she seemed

Relieved so I started wondering

Just how true what they said

About her

“expressing the desire to find

A life partner” was

Anyway I kinda got dragged away after that

So they could dress me

Honestly I don’t know why I was

So calm being treated like a doll

I think I was dazed

And probably a bit drunk

I don’t know what that drink they kept

Giving me was but it was really good

And I drank a lot of it

 

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

I’m so worried about you

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Hey, I’m alright

Nothing too bad happened

I mean I’m pretty sure

I almost became a random alien’s

Spouse but that’s another matter

Anyway apparently Jon wasn’t

The only one interested in proving

He was my fated life partner or something

There was like

50 people wanting to

Enter the trial

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Look at you being popular

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

I didn’t know whether to find it

Comical or horrifying

Jon didn’t seem that fazed

He did look very angry

At all those pretenders though

So I really hoped that

“trial” wouldn’t be combat based

Cause I don’t think

Genocide would look good on him

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

I’m starting to find this whole story

Very amusing

If I forget the fact you’re barely 18

And went to space

For fun without a plan or telling

Anyone

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Can you wait til after I finished

Telling you for the lecture?

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Fine

continue

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Anyway they made me sit on

A sort of throne which was nice

And then every candidate came forward

One by one and one of the elders

Who I think was a priest

Would cast some sort of spell  that made their

“soul” show

And mine also

And apparently my soul was not impressed

Cause it kept beating the living shit out of them lmao

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Yeah that sounds like you

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

It was funny

Like as soon as the spell was cast

I just sent them crashing against walls and stuff

I think I knocked out twelve of them

They had to get carried out

And I got to stand there

And look innocent cause I technically

Had no control over what was happening

Not my fault they weren’t worthy

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Ok Thor

Or would you be Mjolnir in this scenario?

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Good question

Anyway it went on and after

A while it was starting to get old

But they wanted to get me with one

Of them so bad that they had insisted

For Jon to go last

So I had to endure

When finally it was his turn

I jokingly told him to prepare

 for me to kick his ass

And he just smiled and said

He doubted that would happen

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

The kid has a lot of confidence

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

In our love? Apparently yes

Anyway to the surprise of

Everyone except us it appears

That I had indeed

Set my soul on him

I have never seen him look as smug as he did

When the priest solemnly declared

The Gods had spoken

And we were meant to be

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

He’ll take every proof he can I guess

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Yeah

I thought they’d be disappointed

Or mad or something

But instead they decided

Since it was now proven

We had to participate in a bonding ceremony

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

… you got space married

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

I guess?

I don’t know, they just made us

Drink some sort of potion

while our hands were tied together

And then we partied

I got to drink more of that nice stuff

From earlier so I consider it a win

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

You…

I can’t

You kids went to space and came back married

Why are you like this

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Again

Totally  Jon’s fault

I just got dragged along

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

How are you gonna tell your parents?

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Do we really have to?

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

UM YES

YES YOU HAVE TO DAMIAN

YOU GOT FUCKING SPACE MARRIED

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Pretty sure there are no legal repercussions

On earth for that

And other than the fact

We’re apparently glowing

And we’ve been telepathically

Linked for two weeks now

I don’t see any lasting effects

Who knows if any of this is permanent anyway

 

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Wait

Telepathic link?

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Yeah, we don’t really understand

How it works

We don’t hear each other constantly

Most times it’s just like

A distant noise in the back of the head

But sometimes we hear

Each other loud and clear

Or feel what the other is feeling

If it’s really intense

If we focus we can talk to each other

It’s pretty neat

 

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Lord all mighty

What have you guys done

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

All in all I consider this adventure a success

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

That’s one way to put it

You need tot ell your family Damian

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Ugh

Fine

I’ll tell my brothers first though

This is going to kill my dad

We need to talk funeral arrangements

 

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

Poor Bruce

You’re really doing your best to make his

Life difficult

 

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

I have a lot to live up to if I want

To reach the same levels of absolute

Chaos as my brothers

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

You’re doing a great job

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Thanks Jaime

It means a lot

Anyways I guess I’ll go tell my brothers

Wish me luck

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

I mean I’m sure you’ll survive this

You probably won’t survive Kon finding out though

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

I’ll just point out this is his

Brother’s fault and I had

No say in the matter

 

Somehow Thinks Marrying Todd Is A Good Idea:

You know, I’m not sure it will help

As much as you seem to think it will

But you can certainly try

Now go

 

Littlest Brother-In-Law:

Yes sir

Groupchat (Robins Support Group)

 

Child:

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

You HWHAT

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Is this some new game kids play these days?

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Oh no

Please

Please tell me you didn’t have me cover

For you while you eloped in space

PLEASE DAMIAN

 

Child:

No, I had you cover for me while

I went on a space road trip with my boyfriend

The whole marriage thing was an accident

 

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

WHAT THE FUCK DAMIAN

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

This is a joke right?

Wait Jason what do you MEAN YOU COVERED

FOR HIM?!

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

DAMIAN THOMAS WAYNE

YOU SAID IT WAS JUST A SMALL TRIP

YOU WENT TO FUCKING SPACE

 

Child:

I think that’s a bit irrelevant now

Also I’m hurt none of you

are congratulating me

 

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

I’m going to MURDER YOU

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Me first!

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

…. Space married?

 

Child:

That was Jaime’s conclusion at least

 

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

YOU TOLD JAIME

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

BEFORE ANY OF US

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Even I’m offended

 

Child:

He confronted me cause apparently

Jon and I are literally

Glowing

Like

When he wears his Blue Beetle

Suit he can see a glow around us

So I had to come clean

And he said I had to tell you guys

So here we are

Anyways what’s new with your lives?

 

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING TROLL

IM GOING TO STRANGLE YOU IN YOUR SLEEP

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

How does one get space married even

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

….

 

Child:

Someone should probably go check

If Grayson’s still breathing

 

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

YOU CERTAINLY WONT BE WHEN

IM FINISHED WITH YOU

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

I don’t feel so good…

I think I’m having a stroke…

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

You’ve really done it this time Dams

 

Child:

In my defense

This is all Jon’s fault

I’m a victim in this whole scenario

And you should take your grievances to him

 

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Should you really be starting

Your married life by throwing him

Under the bus?

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

I hate to admit it

But somehow I do think it’s more

Plausible that all of this is Jon’s doing

For once

Dami is not that sort of chaotic

This has a Super quality to it

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

My baby got married…

In space…

Without me…

 

 

Child:

You missed one hell of a party

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

You’re being so mean to poor

Dickie when he’s already struggling

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Yeah at least apologize to him

He’s gonna cry himself to sleep tonight

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

This is the worst day of my life

 

Child:

I’m sorry Dickie I love you

You’ll be invited to my

 Earth wedding I promise

 

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

That shouldn’t happen for YEARS Dami

You hear me?

You’re too young to get married!

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Yeah what Jay said!

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Can you at least tell us how it happened?

 

Child:

Not right now

I have a lot to do

I’ll tell you tomorrow though

When you’ll all be coming

To the manor to act as moral support

For Father when I tell him

What happened

 

 

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Oh fuck

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

We’re gonna be orphans soon

Again

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Or Clarkie and Lois are gonna lose a son

One of the two

 

 

Child:

Either way it’s bound to be

Interesting

Bring dessert

Ok bye

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

This brat

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

I can’t believe him

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

I’m never gonna recover from this

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

So… we’re kidnapping

Jon and interrogating him right?

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

You bet your ass we are

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

I’ll get my coat

Groupchat (Superbros)

 

 

The Baby:

Guys

Help

I’m in danger

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Are you actually in danger

Or are you just being dramatic

Again?

 

Is actually the Oldest :

What’s wrong Jon?

The Baby:

First of all I only have one brother

From now on and that’s Cole

Second, I’m being hunted down

By the older Robins

And if they catch me I’m a dead man

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

…. What have you done to Damian

 

Is actually the Oldest :

You’ve done something to Damian?

 

The Baby:

Why would you assume

 I’d done anything wrong?

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Because there is no way they

Would hunt you down for no

Reason

They all love you

The only way they’d be mad at you is

If you’d done something to their

Baby brother

 

Is actually the Oldest :

He has a point.

 

The Baby:

I swear I haven’t hurt Dami in any way!

I would never do that!

He’s perfectly fine!

I mean he is laughing at me

And not helping in any way

Traitor

I’m divorcing him first chance I get

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

I have a bad feeling about this

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Don’t you need to be married to

Divorce someone?

 

The Baby:

… Yeah about that

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

… Jonathan

What are you trying to say

 

Is actually the Oldest :

What’s happening?

The Baby:

Um…

Don’t be mad

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

… tell me you didn’t go to Vegas

To elope with your boyfriend Jon

 

The Baby:

I did not go to Vegas to elope

With my boyfriend.

Is actually the Oldest :

That was an option?

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

No it wasn’t and it never should be!

For either of you!

Ok that’s good

You got me worried for a sec here

 

The Baby:

Ahah yeah

We weren’t anywhere near Vegas

Weren’t even in the same

Solar system

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

That’s a relief

Wait what?

 

Is actually the Oldest :

You left the solar system?

The Baby:

Um…

Yeah…

We kinda…

We kinda went on a road trip…

Except…

In space?

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

… Jonathan

What the actual FUCK

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Language Conner.

Did you have fun?

 

The Baby:

I did yeah thanks for asking ☺️

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Good for you.

I’m glad.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

No Cole we are not glad!

What possessed you to do something

So incredibly stupid?!

 

The Baby:

I don’t know

It sounded like fun

Plus dad did say I could go

On a road trip after graduation so

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

THAT’S SO NOT WHAT HE MEANT

 

Is actually the Oldest :

What’s done is done now.

And it seems they came back in good shape

So no harm done

 

The Baby:

Yeah we’re totally fine!

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Is that why the Robins are after you?

Cause you took their baby bro to space?

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

It would be understandable.

The Baby:

Oh um

No…

No I don’t think that’s it

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Then why?

 

The Baby:

Well…

As I said, we weren’t planning

On eloping or anything like that

But um…

Well…

Accidents happen

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ACCIDENTS HAPPEN

YOU CANT ACCIDENTALLY MARRY SOMEONE

THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I’m a bit confused

The Baby:

I’ll have you know you can totally

Accidently marry someone in space

Cause that’s what I did

I got space married

Dami’s my space husband now

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

My heart is doing something

No kryptonian heart should

I think I’m dying

COLE SAY SOMETHING

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Uh…

Congratulations?

 

The Baby:

Why thank you Colie!

You’re the first one to actually

Congratulate us!

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

I can’t…

I just can’t

You deserve what’s happening to you

I hope the Robins catch you

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Maybe they just want to welcome

You into the family?

The Baby:

I like your optimism

But unfortunately I’m pretty sure

That’s not their angle

I’m gonna get tortured for sure

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Told Tim where to find you

Deal with the consequences

 

The Baby:

WHAT THE HECK KON

HOW COULD YOU

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR

FREAKING GETTING MARRIED IN SPACE

AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE AND WITHOUT

ANY OF US PRESENT

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I have to admit I’m a bit hurt

I wasn’t invited.

 

The Baby:

I’m sorry ok I told you it was an accident!

Like seriously, is it my fault everyone

Wants to steal my man and I had

To claim what was mine?

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

You need to reign in your possessiveness

It’s becoming a problem

 

Is actually the Oldest :

I do think marriage is an overreaction

To such a problem.

The Baby:

Again

That part was an accident

I’ll tell you all about it tonight

Y’all need to come by the house

I’m making dinner

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Is that dinner supposed to be

The announcement of your

Elopement to the parents?

Because I do want to see that

 

 

Is actually the Oldest :

What a joyous occasion.

I will be there.

Can I bring Thad?

The Baby:

Sure!

You bringing your boyfriend home for

The first time will help mellow them out

Before I drop the bomb!

Great idea!

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

There’s no way they don’t go apeshit

Either way but nice try

 

Is actually the Oldest :

We’ll be bringing dessert

The Baby:

Great!

Welp, I have to go

They found me

See you tonight if I survive

Bye bros love you! <3

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

Stupid kid

Getting hitched

This is the dumbest thing he’s ever done

 

Is actually the Oldest :

You think marriage is dumb?

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

He’s barely legal Cole

He just finished high school like

A few months ago

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Ah, you have a point.

But to be fair we don’t really know what being

“space married” entails.

Maybe it’s not that bad.

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

I hope you’re right

Since you’re bringing Thad

I’ll see if Bartie wants to come

Or if he’d rather go with Tim

Cause I have a feeling Damian will

Be doing the same announcement

At the manor

I’m almost sad to miss it

Oh well, I’m sure one of the other

In-laws will be able to document this for me

 

Is actually the Oldest :

This family is fun.

 

 

Thinks he’s the Oldest:

That’s one way to put it

Aight see you tonight Colie

 

Is actually the Oldest :

Yes, see you later.

Permanantly Muted:

Please don’t murder my son

Brucie Bear:

I won’t do anything to Jonathan

 

Permanantly Muted:

Oh that’s a relief

 

Brucie Bear:

Why would I take my anger out on him

When it’s clearly YOUR FAULT

 

Permanantly Muted:

Wait what?

How is this my fault exactly?

I couldn’t have known!

 

Brucie Bear:

Your son found a space ship

And went to YOUR Fortress of Solitude

To talk to YOUR biological dad’s hologram

To help him repair it!

This is clearly on you!

 

Permanantly Muted:

How was I supposed to know

This would happen?

 

Brucie Bear:

You have Super-hearing Clark!

 

Permanantly Muted:

I was off world myself at the time!

I couldn’t have known they weren’t

On Earth anymore!

Brucie Bear:

Excuses.

 

Permanantly Muted:

How are you holding up?

Brucie Bear:

My youngest child

Got married

How do you think

 

Permanantly Muted:

Yeah same

I think I cried a little

While Lois was screaming

At the top of her lungs

She was frightening

 

Brucie Bear:

Appropriate reaction

I have to admit I froze

Thankfully for me Alfred didn’t have

That problem

 

Permanantly Muted:

What did he do?

 

Brucie Bear:

Chased Damian around with a broom

Like an unruly cat

It was honestly fun to watch

 

Permanantly Muted:

I bet it was

We should probably do some research on

That weird ritual and bonding ceremony

They did

Make sure there’s no bad side effects

And understand what being “space married”

As they so eloquently put it

Truly means

Brucie Bear:

Tim confiscated their space ship

And is working on retracing all their

Coordinates

So we can pinpoint what planet

They landed on

 

Permanantly Muted:

Oh, nice

Kon can take him to the fortress

So my holo-dad can help

It’s the least he can do

After putting us in this situation

 

Brucie Bear:

So we agree on blaming your holo-dad

Good

We don’t have to reevalute

Our own parenting that way

 

Permanantly Muted:

Denial is great

Hey, at least now we’re officially in-laws

 

Brucie Bear:

It might come as a shock to you

But this is not something I was

Looking forward to

 

Permanantly Muted:

Aww come on Brucie

Cheer up a little

Christmas is gonna be so fun this year

 

Brucie Bear:

You can spend Christmas with this

God forsaken family

I’ll go hide at the Reyes’

Now those are in-laws I like

 

Permanantly Muted:

Pfft

You’ll love every single moment of spending

Christmas with all of us

You’ll see

 

Brucie Bear:

How about a box of Kryptonite as a gift

It’s green, it’s on theme

Plus, wouldn’t that replace coal

For you Kryptonians?

 

Permanantly Muted:

I’ll have you know I’m on Santa’s

Nice list

 

Brucie Bear:

Not on mine though

 

Permanantly Muted:

It will change

Hey

 

 

Brucie Bear:

What

 

Permanantly Muted:

Although our kids are idiots

And shouldn’t have done something

So stupid

They do look really happy

Warms the heart doesn’t it?

 

Brucie Bear:

I guess it does

Just a tiny bit

Damian is currently arguing

The fact that his space marriage

Proves the existence of soulmates

With Bartholomew

So I guess no matter when or where or how

It would have always ended like this

 

Permanantly Muted:

Yeah

But it’s something a lot more

Beautiful than fate

These are two kids who grew up

Together and became who they are

Alongside each other

Of course they want to continue

Forging their path with one another

 

Brucie Bear:

Yeah

That makes sense

 

Permanantly Muted:

If they divorce we’re bleeding you dry though

They didn’t sign a space prenup

as far as I’m concerned

 

Brucie Bear:

I literally pay your salary

Don’t make me fire you

 

Permanantly Muted:

I’m just kidding

Alright I’ll get back to the trenches now

Even though things have calmed down a little

Turns out Cole also had an announcement

And his went a lot better than Jon’s

 

Brucie Bear:

That he’s dating young Thaddeus?

 

Permanantly Muted:

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT

 

Brucie Bear:

I’m Batman.

 

Permanantly Muted:

That’s unfair Brucie

You can’t know about

The love life of the only son that

Has no direct affiliation with you

I have before me

 

Brucie Bear:

Cole is a nice young man

I’ve had him over for coffee once or twice

 

Permanantly Muted:

Stop trying to steal my son

 

Brucie Bear:

This is payback for

Dick choosing to name himself after

One of your folk stories

 

Permanantly Muted:

You’re so petty

 

Brucie Bear:

Yes, and?

You’re jealous because your son

Likes me better than you

 

Permanantly Muted:

That’s it

This is war

I’m stealing the Robins from you

 

Brucie Bear:

I’d like to see you try

 

Permanantly Muted:

Watch me

 

Brucie Bear:

Whatever

Go away now

I’ve had enough of you

 

Permanantly Muted:

You adore me

Can’t get enough

 

Brucie Bear:

👍

Permanantly Muted:

Seriously?

A thumb’s up?

This is low even for you

Hey where did you go

I know you’re reading this

Bruce?

Bastard

Chapter Text

Spare Parts:

I am humbly asking for

Political asylum

 

Fast And Furious:

What is it this time

 

Spare Parts:

Kon said Star Wars was better

Than Lord of the Rings

 

Fast And Furious:

Why would he do such a thing?

 

 

Spare Parts:

I think he was bored

Or horny, one of the two

He likes it when Timmy or I get mad

 

Fast And Furious:

He has a problem

Just wait until Timmy has calmed down

 

Spare Parts:

Unfortunately he’s chosen

To take the bait and enact violence

And told Kon The Rock is a better

Actor than Dave Bautista

 

Fast And Furious:

I see.

You’re welcome over

Cole says he’s making you hot chocolate

 

Spare Parts:

Thank God for you two

I truly can’t deal with those

Idiots anymore

 

Fast And Furious:

You chose to date two people

Who if they didn’t love each other

Would probably be mortal enemies

This is on you

 

Spare Parts:

I am mad at how accurate this is

 

Fast And Furious:

Their battles would have been legendary

Instead they fight about fictional universes

And wrestlers turned actors

The fact John Cena wasn’t anywhere

In this convo is outstanding btw

 

Spare Parts:

They don’t agree on him either

Please don’t remind them

I think the last time they agreed

On something was that they both

Think Being Alive is the best Sondheim song

 

Fast And Furious:

Musical theater

Saving relationships

Beautiful

 

Spare Parts:

I didn’t agree and got shamed

For my right opinion

 

Fast And Furious:

Poor Bartie

Let me guess, anything from

 Into the Woods for you?

 

Spare Parts:

You know me so well

I love Agony especially

 

Fast And Furious:

You would

Goofy and dramatic

It’s so you

You know, Cole is

Painfully under educated on musicals

 

Spare Parts:

Now that you guys are dating

It’s your job to change that

 

Fast And Furious:

I know

He has, however, watched

High School Musical

For some reason

 

Spare Parts:

Or as Damian calls them

“The Musically Compromised

High Schoolers Movies”

It drives Jon mad every time

Jon has a DCOM obsession

 

Fast And Furious:

That explains why Cole

Knows so many of them

 

Spare Parts:

It’s funny how Cole’s general knowledge

Is so large and random cause he keeps

Absorbing from so many different people

He’ll truly become unstoppable soon

 

Fast And Furious:

My man is so cultured

 

Spare Parts:

Your man, so cute

How are things between you guys

By the way?

 

Fast And Furious:

Everything is great

It’s funny

I thought dating would change our

Dynamic more

But other than the increase

In pet names and the make out sessions

Things haven’t shifted that much

 

Spare Parts:

Makes sense

It’s very difficult to be more affectionate

And domestic than you already were

 

Fast And Furious:

I guess that’s true

Going on actual dates is nice though

I don’t know, it makes me feel…

Normal

 

Spare Parts:

Normal is good

Especially when we’re us

 

Fast And Furious:

Yeah

Yesterday we went on a hike

Which makes no sense for either one of us

But we pretended it did

And didn’t cheat our way to the top

It was fun

Relaxing

And the view was worth the three hours

Of slowing down

 

Spare Parts:

There’s nothing better than finding

Someone worth slowing down for

For us speedsters

 

Fast And Furious:

Exactly

I mean I’m not a stranger to being slow

This is how I grew up after all

But being slow always meant

Preparing for something

Thinking everything over and over again

It made me completely mad

Slowing down with Cole is just soothing

I just want to live every single

second to the fullest

when I’m with him

 

 

Spare Parts:

I can’t believe you’ve become such

A romantic

I’m so proud

 

Fast And Furious:

Don’t start crying or you’re banned

 

Spare Parts:

Hey!

It’s too late anyway, I’m here!

 

Fast And Furious:

Tsss

Door is opened

Give Candle a treat when you enter

Or she won’t let you pass

 

Spare Parts:

Of course you’ve trained her as

A Guard Cat

Cat Cerberus

Group Chat (Powerpuff Girls)

 

Buttercup:

Hey Bartie where did you go

 

Blossom:

Yeah you disappeared

 

 

Bubbles:

Yeah, like

An hour ago

You only realize now?

 

 

 

Buttercup:

Our bad

You know how we get when we

Argue about pop culture

 

Blossom:

This is all Kon’s fault

He started it

 

 

Bubbles:

You’re both idiots

And I wasn’t about to third wheel

Your fight

Instead I decided to go

Third wheel Thadcole

It’s a lot more fun

We’re watching Hairspray and cuddling

Well they’re cuddling and

I’m cuddling Candle

 

 

Buttercup:

Hey no fair

I wanted cuddles too

 

Blossom:

Plus how dare you watch Hairspray

Without us

 

 

 

Bubbles:

Serves you right

Now go away

I’m getting my Thadcole fix

 

 

Buttercup:

Damn not even sharing the tea

With us huh?

 

Blossom:

Devastating

 

Bubbles:

What makes you think you

Deserve it?

 

Buttercup:

We love you?

 

Blossom:

I bought you the multicolored

Poncho you wanted that Kon called

A crime against humanity

 

 

 

Bubbles:

Gasp!

You did? :O

I love you Timmy you’re the best <3

 

 

Buttercup:

I… wow

 

Blossom:

You can’t compete Kent

Might as well give up now

 

 

 

Bubbles:

I so wanted that poncho

It will go great with my green beanie

 

 

 

Blossom:

It will, you’re so right

And correct in every way always

 

Buttercup:

Suck up

 

Bubbles:

I don’t see why you would say that

Connie

Timmy is just expressing

A fact, that I am always right

 

 

Blossom:

Exactly

 

Buttercup:

I’m being gaslit

But I can’t fight back

What can I offer in exchange

For some Thadcole tea?

 

 

Bubbles:

I get the middle spot

All week

 

 

Buttercup:

But it was my turn!

 

Bubbles:

Do you want tea or not?

 

 

Buttercup:

Ugh fine

 

Blossom:

He folds so quickly

 

 

 

Bubbles:

This is why we love him <3

 

Buttercup:

I don’t know how to take that

But thanks I guess

Now tell us everything that’s happening

 

Blossom:

Yes please we’ve been starved

For so long

We’ve missed so much of their

First days as a couple because

Of the whole space marriage fiasco

 

 

Bubbles:

The most unexpected plot twist

Of the century

But anyway

First of all I got there

And at first I didn’t understand

Why Thad looked so

Emo coded all of a sudden

Then I realize it was cause he was wearing

Cole’s clothes

 

 

Blossom:

Aww

He takes after his bro

Both of them do

 

Buttercup:

Can’t wait to watch Cole try out

Thad’s clothes

 

 

Bubbles:

Apparently he’s scared

He’ll just rip them out

He already has a hard time not shredding

His own accidently

Instead apparently

Since Thad has an obsession

With rings

Every time he sees Cole

Look at one of them on his hand

He takes it and puts it

On one of Cole’s fingers instead

It’s very cute

Especially since Thad

Loves rings cause he likes playing with them

When he’s nervous or bored

Or anxious

And he still plays and fidgets with them

When they’re on Cole

It gives him an excuse

To touch his hands I think

 

 

Blossom:

That’s the most precious thing

I’ve every fucking heard

 

Buttercup:

They’re just so pure

 

 

Bubbles:

They so are

Also Thad has taken to trying out

Lots of pet names

But the classic “Babe” is the one Cole

Seems to respond the most favorably to

Cole doesn’t do pet names as much but

I did hear him call Thad kitten at least twice

Since I got here

 

 

Blossom:

Bhszzszo OH MY GOD

Ngl I would have died in Thad’s place

 

Buttercup:

Oh really?

Kitten does things to you huh?

 

Blossom:

STOP

 

 

Bubbles:

It’s fascinating how we can

Still learn things

About each others after

Such a long time

 

 

Blossom:

I’m just saying

Depending on the context

Kitten can be either

Very cute or very hot

 

Buttercup:

Why not both?

 

 

Bubbles:

It’s probably both

Thad’s cheek did get a little pink

He looked at me very alarmed

I pretended I hadn’t heard anything

Cole was ever so oblivious

 

 

Blossom:

Do you think maybe

 

Buttercup:

Don’t

I refuse to think about it

They have a very cute and CHASTE

Relationship

 

 

Bubbles:

As chaste as Dami and Jon?

 

 

Buttercup:

Just cause they’re space married

Doesn’t mean they have sinned already

 

 

Bubbles:

Were you a good Christian boy

At 18?

 

 

Buttercup:

This isn’t about me

 

Blossom:

We all know how he was at 18

 

Buttercup:

Like you can talk

I wasn’t the only one with a fuckboi era

 

Bubbles:

You were both equally as bad as

Each other

 

 

Blossom:

Ok, I can live with that

 

Buttercup:

In my defense

I was trying to forget the fact

I was in love with the both of you

I thought it would help

 

 

Bubbles:

Dumbest reasoning I’ve ever heard

 

 

Blossom:

Can’t fault it I had the same

 

Buttercup:

See it does make sense

 

 

Bubbles:

No it doesn’t

You should have dealt with it like

Adults and cried listening

To Celine Dion like I did

 

 

Blossom:

Now I feel bad

How may times have you cried on

My Heart Will Go On because of us?

 

Buttercup:

Don’t rope me into this

He wasn’t even into me at the time

This is all on you

 

 

Bubbles:

First of all who do you think I am

It was It’s All Coming Back To Me Now

And All By Myself

 

 

Blossom:

My bad

Those make more sense

 

Bubbles:

And they’re better

Sometimes when I was feeling particularly

Depressed I’d dip into her French

Discography even

I sing French fluently just so you know

 

 

Blossom:

Fascinating

 

 

Bubbles:

Also Kon you’re not exactly

Out of trouble either

I did my best rendition

Of All by Myself the day

I realized you loved Tim back

 and you confirmed it

 

 

Blossom:

Hah! See?

 

Buttercup:

Ok maybe I’m also a bit to blame

We were so dumb

 

 

Bubbles:

Very

But we managed to get somewhere

In the End

But to go back to the original subject

With how you were at 18

You can’t possibly still be thinking

Jon and Dami

Haven’t done anything

 

Buttercup:

Um yes I can

Jonnie’s nothing like me

He’s pure and innocent

 

 

Bubbles:

Dear Lord

 

 

Blossom:

For heaven’s sake Conner!

They’ve fucked!

Probably more than once!

 

Buttercup:

 

Bubbles:

It had to be said at some point

 

 

Blossom:

Honestly

You’re just as bad as Dick

 

Buttercup:

Don’t compare me to him

This is all his fault!

With his blasted presentation!

 

 

Bubbles:

Sexual education is important

 

 

Buttercup:

Can’t I keep one innocent little brother?

Do all of them need to be corrupted?

 

 

Bubbles:

To be fair

We have no idea about Thadcole

 

 

Blossom:

Yeah that’s still a mystery

 

Buttercup:

Please let me have this one

 

 

Bubbles:

Alright

We’ll keep their Schrödinger’s sex life

A mystery for as long

As possible

 

Blossom:

You really need to come to terms

With the fact sex happens baby

 

Buttercup:

No I don’t

 

 

Bubbles:

You kinda do though

 

 

Blossom:

It’s not always bad

For example, it could happen

In the very near future

For you, specifically

 

Buttercup:

Ok now this

This I can get behind

 

 

Bubbles:

What a surprise

 

 

Blossom:

When are you coming home Bartie?

 

Bubbles:

I’m not cutting Hairpsray short

because you guys are horny

learn patience and self restraint

 

 

Blossom:

But love…

 

Buttercup:

Please?

 

 

Bubbles:

30 minutes

Happy?

 

 

Blossom:

We’ll take it

 

 

Notes:

bzazkbaz no cause Timkon being mortal enemies would make so much sense, and also can you imagine a world where they fight for Bart's love it would be hilarious zeduoebfeipfr

Chapter Text

Future Hubby:

Is it bad that I kinda regret

Not eloping?

 

Bichito:

Don’t ever let Alfred hear you

Say that

I don’t want to deal with the

Consequences

 

Future Hubby:

It’s just so stressful

I’ve started dreaming exclusively

In our wedding color palette

It’s very weird

 

Bichito:

It’s almost over now

Only two weeks left

 

Future Hubby:

Yeah finally

Hey, I love you

 

Bichito:

And I love you too

This hasn’t changed since four

Hours ago

 

Future Hubby:

Just making sure it’s clear

 

Bichito:

I know baby I know

You can say it as many time

As you want

You didn’t get anymore nightmares

Did you?

 

Future Hubby:

No, I’ve been ok

I gotta admit

The whole Damijon space marriage

Thing almost had me spiraling

Cause how was that real even

But then again life is often

Stranger than fiction

 

Bichito:

Teenagers being dumb

Nothing realer than that

 

Future Hubby:

Touché

Anyways I can safely say

The nightmare world is officially gone

Better be too, with all the efforts

I made to see it burn to a crisp

 

Bichito:

I’m sure you did a stellar job

Sorry I wasn’t there to assist

On account of me being dead

 

 

Future Hubby:

You were there in spirit probably

 

Bichito:

Oh certainly

But I’d rather be here in full

 

Future Hubby:

I prefer that also

Man I still can’t believe it though

Me, getting married

 

Bichito:

I’d like to point out this was your doing

 

Future Hubby:

Yeah I know, and I don’t regret

It one bit

But it is seemingly out of character

I think what’s tripping me up

The most is the fact it does not feel weird

At all

That’s the weirdest part

 

Bichito:

I know what you mean

It’s what I felt the moment

We started getting to know each other

I felt like I should be puzzled about it

And yet I wasn’t

 

Future Hubby:

Goes to show sometimes we don’t

Even know what normal looks like

For ourselves

 

Bichito:

You are the furthest thing from

Normal in my life babe

but being with you does feel

Natural

Just as easy as breathing

 

Future Hubby:

Natural, that’s a better word you’re right

I’m putting that in my vows

 

Bichito:

… oh crap

 

Future Hubby:

You totally forgot you had to write those huh

 

Bichito:

In my defense

I’ve had a lot on my mind these days

 

Future Hubby:

I know love, I’m not holding it against you

It’s ok you can just wing it on the day

I don’t mind

 

Bichito:

You’re kidding right?

I’ll write great ones

I might not be a literary genius

Like you but I’m sure I can manage something!

 

Future Hubby:

I don’t doubt it

Just don’t stress yourself over it

 

Bichito:

Too late I’m already stressing

 

Future Hubby:

Aww don’t be like that

 

Bichito:

I can’t help it

Sometimes I feel like

I don’t express myself enough around you

I know that you know I love you

But is it enough?

 

Future Hubby:

It’s more than enough for me

 

Bichito:

But you would settle for the bare

Minimum

When you deserve a whole lot more

 

Future Hubby:

Being with you isn’t the bare minimum

It’s already hitting the jackpot

 

Bichito:

Stop being perfect for two seconds

You’re not helping

 

Future Hubby:

Sorry I’ll try and be more of an

Asshole I promise

 

Bichito:

Good

Seriously though Jay

I WILL write the best vows in existence

 

Future Hubby:

I don’t doubt it

I have to go now

Stupid Dickiebird

Got absolutely bodied yesterday

And decided it was a good idea

To try and get back out there today

Walls is on League duty so

I told him I’d make sure he doesn’t get killed

 

Bichito:

Babysitting your big brother

Adorable

Say hi to Dick for me

Future Hubby:

Will do

See you later

Don’t stay up this time you need your sleep

 

Bichito:

Don’t tell me what to do

If I wanna stay up and wait for you

I will

 

Future Hubby:

Go to sleep babe

Bichito:

Go away

 

Future Hubby:

I guess I’ll find you passed out

On the armchair again when I

Get back

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

Hermano:

Vows

 

El Barto:

o…k?

Hermano:

I need those

For the wedding

 

El Barto:

Um… I guess you’re right but

Do you need those at 2 AM today

Specifically?

 

Hermano:

I can’t sleep so yes

 

El Barto:

Tim says to tell you he and his staff

Can help you sleep if needed

 

Hermano:

So violent

 

El Barto:

In his defense for once he chose to

Go to bed at a reasonable hour

 

Hermano:

My bad

Sorry I was just

Stressed out I guess

 

El Barto:

It’s alright

I mean I have no clue how I’m

Supposed to help but I guess as

Your best man I have to provide moral

Support

 

Hermano:

Just

How am I supposed to put

Everything I think and feel about Jay

Into words?

Seems impossible

 

El Barto:

I mean this sounds like a good

Intro line

 

Hermano:

… you think?

 

El Barto:

Yeah, you say it’s impossible

To describe but you’re gonna try anyway

Hermano:

Yeah…

Yeah that’s a good start

You’re a genius

 

El Barto:

This was all you you know

Maybe you should trust yourself more

It doesn’t have to be perfect

Or written like poetry or something

It just has to be what comes to mind

What you want Jay to know

What you want to promise him

Sure it’s gonna be public but truly

It doesn’t concern anyone but you two

 

Hermano:

You’re right…

Ok I think I’m starting

To get ideas

Time to stock up on coffee

 

El Barto:

Did you and Tim swap personalities

Or something?

 

Hermano:

Apparently

Then again you and Kon are here

To entice him to bed while

I’m alone cause Jay had to go make sure Dick

Wouldn’t get murdered in the streets

 

El Barto:

Aww poor baby

You miss your fiancé

 

Hermano:

All the more reason to write about

How much I love him I guess

 

El Barto:

True

I’ll leave you to it then

And get back to sleep

 

Hermano:

Yeah you do that

Thanks Bartie

Tell Tim sorry I woke him up

And Kon I guess

 

El Barto:

Lmao Kon is out like a log

Which doesn’t happen often

But nothing could wake him right now

Tim says he doesn’t forgive you

 

Hermano:

Fair enough

Sweet dreams you three

 

El Barto:

Thanks, good luck with your vows <3

Chapter Text

Thad (Boyfriend):

It happened again :(

Absolute Cutie:

Again?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Yeah

I don’t know why it keeps happening

I’m just minding my business and

All of a sudden some random person

Approaches me and starts talking

My ears off

 

Absolute Cutie:

I mean I know why.

It’s because you’re cute.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Huh?

 

Absolute Cutie:

You’re cute and attractive.

A lot of people want to approach

You to hit on you.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I… what?

 

Absolute Cutie:

You hadn’t realized?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

No, no I hadn’t

Are you sure that’s it?

Absolute Cutie:

I’m sure yes.

I’ve seen it happen.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You have?

But

People don’t approach me

Nearly as much when I’m out with you

Absolute Cutie:

Oh, really?

Strange.

I wonder why.

 

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

… Babe?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes Kitten?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Are you driving people away on

Purpose when we go out together?

 

Absolute Cutie:

If you count sending

Everyone who looks at you funny

Death glares driving them away,

Then I guess I do.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You… I never even realized

 

Absolute Cutie:

It happens quite often

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You know you don’t have anything

To fear right?

I’m not interested in anyone but you

 

Absolute Cutie:

I know that.

I don’t do it because I’m jealous.

Well, not always.

Mostly I do it because I know

You hate interacting with strangers,

And you’re always afraid

Of being too mean to them,

Because you think that would

Prove you’re a bad person.

So I’ve decided to be your mean guard dog

When we’re out together

So you can relax.

 

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Oh…

Thanks Colie

 

Absolute Cutie:

You don’t need to thank me.

I’m your boyfriend, it’s my duty

To look after you.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I still want to thank you all the same

It’s true, I’m trying hard not to

Snap at people

I just…

I don’t want old me to resurface

 

Absolute Cutie:

You know, I don’t think

Old you was only bad.

And some of the things

You think are flaws I actually quite like;

Like how confident you are in how smart you are

To the point that it makes you a little arrogant.

I think it’s a little bit hot.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Oh yeah?

Absolute Cutie:

Yes.

Also it’s fun to see you

Get angry sometimes.

You’re very creative with your insults.

It was hilarious when you said Kon was

“The reason bottle caps are attached

To the bottles nowadays”.

It took him 10 minutes to figure that one out.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Proving my point

So you don’t think my

Mean side is bad?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I don’t.

Flaws are what makes you human,

And I love your flaws just as much

As your qualities.

They’re all a part of you.

So if sometimes you don’t

Feel like talking to people and just

Want to tell them to piss off,

You should.

But if you’d rather not do it

Or you’re feeling lazy I can

Just keep on doing the death stare strat,

I don’t mind.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You’re the best boyfriend in the universe

 

Absolute Cutie:

Oh nice, there’s still room

For improvement so I can be

The best boyfriend in the entire multiverse.

You know I always try to be even better.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Ughhh stop being cute

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’m sorry, I don’t think I can.

I don’t know how.

 

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I know you don’t

Alright I’ll try not to censor myself as much

I just…

Sometimes I’m scared because

You’re so kind and patient

And understanding and I want to be like that

 

Absolute Cutie:

You are, when it counts.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t

Have bad days.

I mean I get mad too sometimes.

Plus Jaime told me

The key to emotions is not to suppress

Them but to understand them.

Instead of being scared

Of my anger and other negative

Emotions, I embrace them.

They have a role to play.

For example my anger

Helps protect me from getting

Walked all over.

I  figured out it was a sign to not take

Any disrespect thrown my way.

Like no actually, you can’t

Run into me and call me

A slur and say it’s my fault.

 

 

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

The hell?

Does this happen often?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Very often.

I think people in this city

Don’t know how to walk.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Those idiots

I think you’re right

Maybe anger isn’t always bad

And maybe it isn’t wrong for

Me to stand up for myself

 

Absolute Cutie:

Exactly.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Thanks babe

You always know how to

Make me feel better

 

Absolute Cutie:

It’s my pleasure.

Will you be home soon?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Yeah, I was just looking

Around anyway

 

Absolute Cutie:

Anything in particular you wanted to look at?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Well…

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I uh…

I’ve been thinking and

I kinda

I kinda want to learn how to play

Guitar?

 

Absolute Cutie:

You do?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Yeah, I don’t know why

It just seems kinda cool

And since I’d seen a music shop

The other day I decided to go

Take a look today

 

Absolute Cutie:

Did you find any that you liked?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Maybe…

But I’m still unsure if it’s a good

Idea or not so I won’t buy anything

For now

Absolute Cutie:

Why not?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Because what if I’m actually bad at

It or don’t like it at all and then I bought

It for nothing?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Nonsense.

 

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Huh?

 

Absolute Cutie:

You want to try something out,

You should.

It’s not like money is a problem. 

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I mean I’ve just started working

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yeah but I have money.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I can’t just take your money all the time

Plus you only have a volunteering job

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes, because I get free money

Somehow

I’m actually very rich and I have no

Idea how that happened

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Free money?

What the hell?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’ve stopped questioning it.

Anyway I’ll get my wallet and join you.

We’re buying you that guitar.

No, we’ll buy three.

What if you want to try out

Different types?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You’re not buying me three guitars Cole

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes I am.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

No seriously

I know you said you’re rich but you

Can’t be THAT rich

 

Absolute Cutie:

I currently have like

Ten millions on my account.

Kon had me put the rest in stocks.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

…. What

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’m telling you, I’m rich.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

How come I never knew about

That before?

 

Absolute Cutie:

You never asked.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Fair enough

Then again I should have realized

We live in a really nice place

And I know I don’t pay enough rent

For it to make sense

I feel bad though…

 

Absolute Cutie:

You shouldn’t.

I don’t even know why I get this money.

It’s not like I earned it or anything.

So sharing it with you seems pretty

Fair to me.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You sure?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes I am.

Besides, it keeps coming every months,

Faster than I could ever spend it so.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You’re really not curious about that?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I used to be.

I know this has to do with

Wayne Enterprise somehow,

But when I asked Mr. Wayne he said

He was just making sure money

That had been put aside for me specifically

By a third party got to me.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

That’s so weird…

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’m sure I’ll get the answer some day

For now, we have guitars to buy

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You never give up do you?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I want you to be happy

Learning guitar will make you happy

Therefore I’m buying you three guitars.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I guess I can’t argue with your logic…

 

Absolute Cutie:

No you can’t.

I’ll be here soon, wait for me

Ok?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Ok…

I am now dating a musician

 

Jonnie Boi:

Aww Thad plays guitar?

Why wouldn’t there be?

He needs an acoustic one

And an electric one

And rhythmic just in case

He likes it better

It makes sense

The vendor agreed with me

 

Jonnie Boi:

Of course he did Colie

That’s three guitars he gets to sell

Instead of just one

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I have to agree with the kid

 

Very Soft Boi:

Poor Thad’s wallet will never recover

 

 

 

Lover Boi:

Oh, I bought those for him.

Don’t worry about his finances.

 

Jonnie Boi:

… you bought your boyfriend

THREE GUITARS?

 

Very Soft Boi:

I…

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Damn

You really don’t play do you

 

Lover Boi:

He was saying nonsense about

Not knowing if he’ll be good

So not risking it,

So I risked it for him

Because I have the money anyway

And I want him to have

Everything he wants in life.

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Good thinking

You play that sugar daddy role Colie

It’s what Thad deserves

 

Jonnie Boi:

Wait what do you mean you have the money

Where does the money come from exactly

 

Very Soft Boi:

He just has money, it happens sometimes

No need to question it

 

 

Lover Boi:

You know I was going to say that

But coming from you Kon it sounds a little

Suspicious

Jonnie Boi:

Very suspicious

Just as suspicious as me getting

A trust fund for college all of a sudden

 

Very Soft Boi:

Why can’t you just be happy

You’re not facing financial ruin huh?

We don’t look a gift horse in the mouth

 

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Y’all are so funny

 

Lover Boi:

I’ll get to the bottom of this later.

By the way Jason what’s a sugar daddy?

 

Jonnie Boi:

lmao

 

Very Soft Boi:

Don’t you dare

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Let me educate the poor boy

Lover Boi:

I like being educated.

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

See?

 

Jonnie Boi:

It’s for his own good

 

Very Soft Boi:

You’re both on thin ice

Sugar daddy is a term used

When someone with a lot of money

Takes financial care of someone else

Usually younger and very pretty

Covering them with gifts and money

In exchange for um… companionship

 

 

 

Lover Boi:

Sounds very strange.

 

Jonnie Boi:

Some people like it

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Still can’t understand how Bruce never

Ended up with a sugar baby

 

Very Soft Boi:

That you know of

 

 

Lover Boi:

This doesn’t explain

Why you said I was Thad’s sugar daddy

 

Jonnie Boi:

He was just joking Colie

Unless you’re into that of course

 

Very Soft Boi:

Jonathan I will end you

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Hey, nothing wrong with a little roleplay

I’ll send you some resources Colie

Don’t worry you’ll learn in  no time

 

Lover Boi:

I’m very confused again

But thanks

 

Jonnie Boi:

In the meantime keep us

Updated on Thad’s progress

On the guitar

And on how many more you buy him

 

Very Soft Boi:

Why are you encouraging him

Don’t buy anymore guitars Cole

Three is more than enough

 

Lover Boi:

But what if he wants to learn

Bass next?

Jonnie Boi:

Exactly Kon, have you thought

About that?

 

Very Soft Boi:

I give up

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I think it’s cute that you

Support your boyfriend’s passions

 

Lover Boi:

Thanks Jason.

Jonnie Boi:

I’m gonna start playing drums

So we can start a band

 

Very Soft Boi:

Oh boy

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Oh sick!

Can I be the bass player?

 

Lover Boi:

Should I buy you all instruments?

 

 

Very Soft Boi:

Stop buying people musical instruments

Cole ffs!

 

Jonnie Boi:

Why are you so against art?

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Yeah you sound like a dad from the 60s

Preaching against the evils of rock’n’roll

 

 

Very Soft Boi:

I’m so tired of you all

 

Lover Boi:

We’re going to need a bigger place

With a garage for practice.

I’ll look.

 

Jonnie Boi:

Damn he’s really serious about it

 

Very Soft Boi:

Look what you’ve done

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I love Cole with crackhead energy

Lover Boi:

Anyway I need to go now.

Thad says he wants kisses.

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Boy be getting the two types of sugar huh

Lucky him

 

Jonnie Boi:

Kzhzbzd you’re a menace 😂😭

 

Very Soft Boi:

I hate my life

 

Lover Boi:

Still not clear on what that means,

I guess I’ll learn soon.

Bye everyone ,

Talk to you later.

 

Jonnie Boi:

Bye Colie have fun! 🥰

 

Very Soft Boi:

See you, and behave

 

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

What stage of grief are you on now Connie?

 

Very Soft Boi:

Depression, always depression

 

Jonnie Boi:

You’re such a baby

 

Very Soft Boi:

Don’t even talk to me

You depraved little shit

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

At least it’s not denial anymore

 

Jonnie Boi:

Depraved? 😇 Me? 😇

Where would you get this idea? 😇

 

Very Soft Boi:

This doesn’t work anymore

I’m onto you

And don’t you dare corrupt Cole

He’s my last hope

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

So maybe there is still a little bit

Of denial left in there

 

Jonnie Boi:

Let him have it

Soon I’ll move in with my space husband

So he needs this right now

 

Very Soft Boi:

What are you talking about?

You’re not moving in with anyone

You focus on your studies!

 

Jonnie Boi:

I can do both

Also you’re not my dad

 

Very Soft Boi:

Your dad is very obsviously not

Doing his job!

I’m gonna have to talk

To him!

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

This is the family drama I always needed

Notes:

ezubbezoze I WENT MAD LMAO! this chapter was supposed to be the one they say I lov eyou to each other in, but instead you got... this nonsense lmao, I kinda love it though, Cole being so so so supportive and smitten and accidently showing sugar daddy tendencies qsppazsp also will the Super babies solve the mystery of their trust funds? Kon is shaking in his boots as we speak!

Next Chapter: wedding? idk maybe

Chapter 43: Where We Ended Up

Chapter Text

Big Bad Bats:

Are you hiding in the bathroom?

 

Jason:

How did you know?

 

Big Bad Bats:

Everyone’s been looking for you

Alfred is having a mental breakdown

And your brothers think you’ve just

Fled the country

 

Jason:

I wouldn’t do that

 

Big Bad Bats:

I know you wouldn’t

You’d never hurt Jaime like that

Are you ok?

 

Jason:

Yeah I’m alright

Just needed some time to myself

Everyone’s being so insane right now

 

Big Bad Bats:

It must be overwhelming

 

Jason:

A little

I kinda envy Dickiebird for

Eloping now

 

Big Bad Bats:

He’s still dealing with the consequences

Of that decision to this day        

 

Jason:

Hm true

 

Big Bad Bats:

Everything is going to go perfectly fine

 

Jason:

I know

With Alfred’s planning

How could it be any different

 

Big Bad Bats:

Exactly

I’m proud of you Jason

 

 

Jason:

Don’t you start again

 

Big Bad Bats:

I’m serious

You couldn’t make me prouder

If you tried

And I would wish you all

The happiness in the world

But I don’t need to

Because I know the choices you’ve made

Already put you on that path

 

Jason:

Why are you so sappy today

It’s my wedding I’m supposed

To be the emotional mess not you

 

Big Bad Bats:

I’m your father

And with how things are going

It’s probably the last time I get to see

One of my kids get married

Seriously, your brothers are going to be

The death of me

 

Jason:

Those selfish bastards

You’re right

This is why I’m the best son

Good thing I came back from the dead huh

 

Big Bad Bats:

Very good thing indeed

 

Jason:

I’m glad by the way

That I get to share this with you

Even though eloping would have been

A lot less of a hassle

I’d rather have you here

 

Big Bad Bats:

Now who’s being sappy

 

Jason:

It’s my right

And if you tell anyone

I’m burning the manor down

 

Big Bad Bats:

Duly noted

Come on now, out

Of the bathroom

Only 15 minutes left and

You haven’t put your tie on yet

 

Jason:

Still can’t believe y’all

Managed to rope me into

Wearing a tie

 

Big Bad Bats:

Stop being a baby and hurry up

 

Jason:

Fine fine

I’m coming

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

 

Chicken Little:

I’ve just realized something

 

A Bug’s Life:

Right now ten minutes before my wedding?

 

Chicken Little:

Never said I had good timing

 

A Bug’s Life:

What have you realized

 

Chicken Little:

We’re gonna be brothers soon

 

A Bug’s Life:

Oh

I guess we are

 

Chicken Little:

Who would have thought huh?

And thanks to that asshole Jason no less

 

A Bug’s Life:

Hey

That’s my soon to be husband

You’re talking about

 

Chicken Little:

My bad

Anyway

Remember when we met?

 

A Bug’s Life:

Of course I do

You were such an annoying

Little shit

 

Chicken Little:

Like you were any better

But in a way

You were my first true friend

In the hero business

First one to actually

Decide you could deal with my

Annoying ass

So I guess thank you for

Putting up with me and all that

 

 

A Bug’s Life:

My pleasure

Right back at you

 

Chicken Little:

Im glad you know

To get you as a new brother

But just because you’re marrying

Jay doesn’t mean he gets to be your

Favorite Robin alright?

 

A Bug’s Life:

I wouldn’t dream of it

You’ll always be the number one Rob’

He knows his place don’t worry

 

Chicken Little:

Good

Aight go be in blissful and

Holy matrimony now

Time to sign up for a

Lifetime of Batfam shenanigans

 

A Bug’s Life:

I was already locked in long ago

But yeah, it’s time

Wish me luck

 

Chicken Little:

You don’t need it

 

A Bug’s Life:

You’re right I don’t

I’m already the luckiest

Bastard in the whole wide world

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

 

“You know, I have to say you look particularly good in a suit,” Jaime remarked, whispering in Jason’s ear as they were sharing their first dance.

“Do I now? Good to know. you’re not so bad yourself hot stuff,” Jason answered with a smirk.

“Ugh, hot stuff? How old are you, fifty? Can’t believe I married you.”

“And yet you did, Mr. Reyes-Todd. And you can’t go back now.”

Jaime smiled tenderly.

“Like I’d ever want to go back on that. You’re stuck with me for life, no escape.”

“Best life sentence I’ve ever gotten. I can’t believe we’ve done it. We’re really married.”

“Nothing was ever gonna stop us. No matter how many obstacles were thrown our way, we would always have ended up here, I’m sure of it.”

“Are you?”

“Yes, I am. Because you and I together Jay, we’re unstoppable. Can’t keep us down.”

 

Jason leaned in to kiss Jaime.

“Is that one of the lines that stayed on the cutting-room floor of your vows?”

“Nah, this just came to me on the fly. Did you like my vows by the way?”

“They were perfect, I couldn’t stop smiling. Never knew anyone would ever have so many beautiful things to say about me.”

“I’m sure a lot of people could, but I get to do it for the rest of our lives and no one else. It’s my privilege. Yours were amazing though, I was almost mad at you for going first because I didn’t know how I would top that.”

“And yet you didn’t disappoint. I knew you had it in you.”

“I guess so… hey, is it bad that I kinda want us to vanish for a while so we can be just the two of us?”

 

Jaime saw the look of pure glee and mischief on his husband’s face.

“I was praying you’d say that. I have the perfect plan in place for that. Once the dance is over, follow my lead yeah?”

“I love it when you take charge. Kinda makes me want to start our wedding night early.”

“Gods Jaime, don’t say things like that, you’re already so fucking hot and beautiful and MINE, it does things to me.”

“I’d like you to do things to me if at all possible.”

“… You know I can’t refuse such a request. Come with me.”

“I’d follow you anywhere.”

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Chapter Text

Dami <3:

It finally happened

After three years

We’ve finally run out of

Pistachio ice cream

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Oh My God

This is the end of an era 😔

 

Dami <3:

It’s kinda sad

I was looking forward to some

Delicious ice cream too

Only have freaking rum and raisin

Left

God damn Jason and his God-awful tastes

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Poor baby

Wait a second

You wanted ice cream

 

Dami <3:

Uh

Yeah?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Why did you want ice cream?

 

Dami <3:

Because… ice cream is… good?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

You only want ice cream when you’re sad

Are you sad?

Who broke your heart this time?

 

Dami <3:

My alien lover obviously

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Knew it

No really what’s wrong

 

Dami <3:

I’m ok really

Was just thinking about my mother

For some reason

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Oh…

Wanna talk about it?

 

Dami <3:

Not really

It just happens sometimes

It’s no big deal

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Well

Tell Alfred sorry in advance

 

Dami <3:

… why?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I’m replenishing the ice cream stock

 

Dami <3:

I mean you’re adorable

And I love you

But you could just buy like

One gallon

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Nope

We’re filling the freezer

 

Dami <3:

You’re starting to sound like my dad

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I’ll take it as a compliment

Besides, I have the money somehow

Now, so I get to spoil you like you’ve been

Spoiling me for years no matter

How many times I told you you shouldn’t

 

Dami <3:

I guess that’s karma

Are you any closer to figuring out

What’s up with that by the way?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Pretty sure I know yeah

 

Dami <3:

Oh?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Yeah

Based on context clues and talking

To Cole about it I think I figured it out

Remember when your dad and

Kon took Luthor to court

For child abandonment

 

Dami <3:

Oh yeah, I remember

Why?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Well the judge had Luthor pay

Like

An insane amount of money in

Reparations and back child support

Making Kon a multimillionaire

All of a sudden

Never got the details before

Cause I didn’t pay attention

But I went back and looked

At all the media coverage of the case

And yeah it was a lot

 

Dami <3:

I see

You think he’s behind your trust fund then

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Pretty sure yeah

My parents won’t tell me anything

Probably cause he told them not to

He’s trying to be coy

The idiot

 

Dami <3:

He probably doesn’t want you to

Feel bad or like you owe him or anything

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Yeah I know

And I think he also wants

To hide it from Cole because

He doesn’t know how he’ll

React to the whole thing

Which I get

But I think he’s gonna have to tell him

At some point

We can’t keep letting

Poor Colie believe free money exists

 

Dami <3:

It’s kinda hilarious though

I mean if anyone would ever

Deserve free money it would

Definetly be Cole

He should just get money for

Existing tbh

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Agreed

He’s doing the world a service

By being alive

Anyways I’m bringing you a truckload

Of ice cream asap

 

Dami <3:

You’re the best space husband ever

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Tell that to your space lover so he

Doesn’t get any ideas

 

Dami <3:

Don’t worry he knows his place

Hey weren’t you supposed to start

 packing for college today by the way?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I mean yeah

But honestly I don’t feel like it

It’s not like I can’t just

Super speed my way through it later

 

Dami <3:

But your mom will hate that

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Yes well

I’d rather do anything else right now

 

Dami <3:

You don’t seem too

Excited about college life

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I’d probably be a lot more excited

If I  didn’t feel like I was

Going to college just to make my family happy

 

Dami <3:

Have you tried talking to them?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I keep chickening out

I just don’t really have a plan you know?

I just chose a random degree

That seemed good enough

And hoped for the best

But now that I’m actually here

I don’t even know what I’m doing

 

 

Dami <3:

Hey, it’s ok

You can try it out and just switch

If you realize you don’t like it

After all

Or maybe college won’t be for you

And you’ll find something to do

Without a degree or something

Don’t stress out too much because you

Don’t have everything figured out

Right away

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I guess you’re right

I just don’t want to disappoint

Everyone you know?

They all keep saying

I’m gonna do great at everything

When I don’t even know what it is

I want to do really

 

Dami <3:

I understand the pressure

But I don’t think they’re trying to

Say they have any expectations

Whatsoever

They just trust in your ability to

Find your way no matter what

And you should too

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I’m trying…

Sometimes I still get… anxious

When it comes to living up to…

I don’t know, my legacy?

Who everyone sees me as?

I still think the person

You all seem to think I am

And the one I actually am are drastically

Different

Cause I don’t always feel

Like who I really am would deserve

As much love as I get

 

Dami <3:

Now I’m gonna have to buy the ice cream

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Couples that are depressed together

Stay together?

 

Dami <3:

Something like that yeah

You’re an idiot by the way

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Thanks

 

Dami <3:

You’re welcome

Really though I don’t think

We’re the ones with a distorted

Image of you

I think that’s all you

I know for a fact

I’m not idealizing your

Rash, stubborn and impulsive

Nature, not to mention

Your ultra-possessiveness

Or your utter obliviousness

But I love you all the same

If you were perfect

You wouldn’t be worth

Getting invested in

Perfection is cold and unfeeling

You’re so full of life and passion

And yes, flaws, but you’re also

So bright and extraordinary and warm

You’re the sun and sometimes the sun burns

But we couldn’t live without it could we?

 

 

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

You don’t need to make me fall

In love with you even more

We’re literally soul-bonded

 

Dami <3:

Doesn’t mean you don’t

Deserve a little romance now and then

You know what?

No need to wait any longer like

We’d planned

I’m moving out with you

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Wait what

 

Dami <3:

I’ve decided to become

A house husband while you figure out

Exactly how you’re going to provide

For our future

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

You’re a freaking billionaire’s son

Dami why do I have to provide

For our future?

 

Dami <3:

Because I said so?

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Fair enough

 

Dami <3:

The point is I want to support you

While on your journey to self

Discovery

Also the point is I wanna live with you

But that’s just a bonus

 

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I mean you know I always

Wanted that

Even though I was willing to wait

For another year

 

Dami <3:

Yes well

Since we’ve already done the whole

Lifetime commitment part anyway

Living together doesn’t

Seem so daunting anymore

I mean Father is probably never

Going to recover

But it had to happen at some point

So… maybe buy some chocolate

Ice cream while you’re at it?

That’s his favorite

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

That’s the least surprising fact I’ve ever

Heard about him

I’ll add it to the cart

I’ll be there soon btw

 

Dami <3:

Good, cause I’ve been

Feeling your emotions

Going all over the place for 30 minutes

And I really, really need to hug you right now

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

It’s so unfair how you get to have

So much control over how much

Of your emotions I get to feel

Yet I’m just an open book

 

Dami <3:

You just need more practice

Besides, I don’t mind

Knowing how you feel all the time

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

But I need to pry to know

How you feel

 

Dami <3:

I’ll let go of a bit more of the control

If you really want

I’m just scared of how

My emotions might impact you sometimes

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I’m stronger than you think

 

Dami <3:

I know you’re strong babe

But even I get scared

Of how dark my thoughts get sometimes

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

All the more reason

To let me in so we can

Brave them together

 

Dami <3:

I guess you’re right

I’ll try and open up a bit more

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Thanks love <3

Oh wow effective immediately I see

How long have you been thinking

About that single strand of hair

That keeps falling in front of my face huh?

 

 

Dami <3:

Way too long

Happiest accident ever

Don’t you dare ever

Putting it back yourself

That’s my role

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I wouldn’t dream of it

Not when you’ve obviously

Got very strong feelings about that

 

Dami <3:

I might be as in love with that hair strand

As I am with you and I am not ashamed to

Admit it

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

So that was the alien lover you were

Talking about

 

Dami <3:

Mayhaps

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

What happens if I cut my hair

 

Dami <3:

I would never recover

And neither would our

Relationship

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Good to know

Alright babe, I’m taking off

See you in a few minutes <3

 

Dami <3:

See you baby <3

Dickie?

Something…

Weird, happened

 

Dickie <3:

What’s wrong?

Weren’t you investigating

Something to do with the

Speed Force with Bartie and Thad?

Walls <3:

Yeah about that

I think we found the anomaly…

 

Dickie <3:

Oh?

Is it bad?

 

Walls <3:

I wouldn’t say bad…

Just… surprising

Um…

Babies

 

Dickie <3:

… babies?

 

Walls <3:

Yeah… babies

We found babies

 

Dickie <3:

…. Babies

 

Walls <3:

Two, to be exact

One of them looks exactly like Bart which

Is honestly the weirdest part

Has latched onto him

And won’t let anyone touch him

The other one is just…

He’s this cute bundle of joy with silver

Hair and grey eyes

And he won’t stop trying to pull on my hair

And honestly I’m crying he’s so cute

 

Dickie <3:

… Walls

What does this mean

 

Walls <3:

I’m not sure…

Thad has been frozen for five minutes

I’m guessing he knows

We’re hoping to get to the

Bottom of it at some point

In the meantime…

We’re coming home with the little

Angels right now so…

Brace yourself I guess?

Dickie <3:

I…

Why did I think we would have

A normal adoption process

Of course something this weird

Would happen and babies would

Just come out of nowhere

 

Walls <3:

I mean

In a way this is more like us isn’t it?

 

Dickie <3:

I guess it is…

Hurry up

Wally, Bart and Thaddeus had gotten to the Grayson-West Household with two babies in toe, and soon, Conner,  Tim and Cole had arrived as well, apparently curious to understand what their speedsters had gotten into. They all gathered in the living room, everyone looking in awe at Wally and Bart holding the two infants.

“ alright, I think we need some explanations,” decided Dick, turning to Thaddeus “Thad? Are you with us now? Can you please explain what the hell is going on?”

 

Thaddeus seemed as dumbfounded as everyone else, but shook his head to regain focus and started.

“ Well… I told you about me messing with cosmic forces beyond my comprehension… and how I needed some help to get everything back to how it should be… well… that help came in the form of two teens: Helios and Cyrus. They came to me when I was desperate and stuck in the speed force, and… Hel called me his uncle, which took me by surprise, but looking at him, it was clear to me he was a West-Allen somehow… he looked a lot like Bart, but with lavender eyes. He told me where he came from, another universe, he was Bart’s son with a powerful Wizard, the Father of all Wizards to be exact. “

“… I had kids with Gandalf?” Bart said absolutely gobsmacked.

“ Honestly this is the least surprising thing that happened today,” decided Conner.

“guys, let Thad continue,” Tim admonished before making  a sign for Thaddeus to start again.

“ Thanks, anyway so Helios came to me with Cyrus, his boyfriend who was from yet another universe and was also the product of a Speedster and a cosmic being beyond our human understanding, I think it’s weird two such beings exist but oh well. They said they heard my desperation and since they were trying to fix up and heal as much of the cosmos as possible, they would help me. but in exchange, they said they’d like a part of their souls to cement themselves here. Said they wanted to try out being born in the same universe, growing up in each other’s lives. I didn’t really know what that meant and it didn’t seem like a big deal at the time, plus they said they would fix everything so I had nothing to lose really… so I just said yes. And… here we are now.”

“so… those babies are like… magical clones of those teenagers that helped you? And… they just… spawned, out of nowhere? “ Dick asked, trying to understand.

“Out of the Speed Force actually,” Wally corrected.

“ That’s… ok, so, those babies are here now. What do we do? “ Tim asked, as Dick was already carefully taking the silver-haired baby from his husband.

 

They all looked as the baby’s grey eyes latched onto Dick’s blue ones, and the first Robin started tearing up.

“I wasn’t expecting that today… but… “

“But it’s impossible not to fall in love with the little bundles of joy isn’t it?” Wally said with a tender smile.

“Totally agree…” Bart acquiesced from where he was nursing his ‘cosmic son’ “kinda strange to think this baby is half me… this was not on my bingo card.”

“do you want us to keep him?” Tim asked.

 

Bart suddenly panicked as reality set in. Wally and Dick were already preparing to welcome a child into their lives, but it hadn’t been anywhere in the trio’s short term plan. Yet, knowing this kid was technically his, Bart couldn’t bring himself to even think of letting anyone else raise him. He gulped, then turned to face his boyfriends.

“ I know this is… this is not what any of us had anticipated, and I would understand if you thought it was too much, or too soon but… but I can’t turn my back on the kid… I can’t just…. No matter how weird and complicated his origins are, he’s mine. He’s mine and… and I want to take care of him…”

Conner was the first to come kiss his temple, and bop the baby’s nose to the little angel’s delight as he started giggling.

“it’s ok Bartie, sure we weren’t expecting that, but I would personally never make you give up on your own kid. Besides, he’s half you, that means I would already die for the little punk. I’ll be there with you every step of the way, we both will, ain’t that right Timmy? “

 

Conner had no doubt about Tim’s choice, but Bart was still very anxious. Tim looked at them for a while, not saying anything, then sighed loudly.

“poor kid, if we have to hyphenate all our names he’s gonna hate us.”

 

Bart let out a relieved laugh , as everyone else chuckles, the pressure finally coming down.

“ so, we’re uncles now?” Cole said “ and… I don’t even want to begin trying to understand how we are related to Wally and Dick’s kid.”

“ We’re really gonna need to write down the family tree cause it’s starting to get impossible to understand,” Wally agreed while trying (and failing) to get his new son back from Dick who wouldn’t let him go. “what do we do about names? Do we keep the ones the original them had or do we change? “

“Hm, I kinda like Cyrus actually. Cyrus Grayson-West sounds pretty good. Maybe with a middle name, what do you think honey? “

“Oh! It should be Alfred, so he can finally stop wanting us dead for the elopement!”

“I mean I like this idea mostly because Alfred is the best but I won’t knock the second benefit... what do you think Little One? Is Cyrus Alfred ok? Seems like it is huh?” Dick smiled as his new son kept hitting him in the face with his tiny hand and laughing.

“What about little Bartie Junior?” Wally asked.

“ I mean, Helios is the God of Sun, it fits,” Tim answered while tentatively approaching the brown-haired baby who started making grabby hands towards him until Bart made Tim hold him.

 

He was awkward at first, having very limited experience with holding babies, but he finally got the hang of it.

Conner then said:

“ should he get a middle name as well?”

“ You decide Connie,” Bart said with Tim’s approval.

“Me? You know I’m sh… bad with names” he corrected not wanting to soil his son’s ears with profanities. “ and I absolutely refuse to give him Clark’s name, he’d be too smug.”

“There’s still Lex,” Wally joked, regretting it as he saw Cole tense, “sorry Colie, too soon.”

“It’s ok. But please nothing like Alexander, I don’t think I could handle it.”

“Yeah, no chance of that.”

“I mean, it could just be Kal. So Clarkie thinks it’s for him and you can tell him that no actually, it’s in honor of your one true father Kaldur’ahm,” Tim said with a smirk.

“ will you finally give that a rest? Next you’re gonna tell me to call him Roy or something. How about another C name? Colin? Sounds like his uncle this way.”

“Like… like me?”

“Yeah, so we keep the tradition alive. Now Jonnie’s gonna feel left out, but it serves him right for space eloping. What do you guys think?”

Bart and Tim both approved.

“ Helios Colin… oh Lord Timmy you’re right, the surnames are already a nightmare. Which one do we put first? Do we do alphabetical order? Allen-Drake-Kent? Does that sound ok? Oh the poor child what have we done!”

 

Everyone burst out laughing while Bart and Tim commiserated over the headache that would be their son’s full name.

They would all have to adjust to this new reality, but one thing was for certain, this was a happy occasion.

Buttercup:

Before you call the whole League

For a universe wide search

Hel is ok

He just appeared in my arms a minute ago

 

 

 

Bubbles:

OH MY GOD I WAS ABOUT TO CRY

 

Blossom:

I already called Batman

 

Buttercup:

Poor Bruce his heart won’t

Last long

I guess my little champ missed me

 

 

 

Bubbles:

We need  to find a way to get his

Powers under control

 

Blossom:

Yes, although we’re lucky

Right now he only teleports

To one of us

Would we be bad parents if we put a tracker

On him though?

 

Buttercup:

I mean considering the circumstances

I think we could be forgiven

 

 

 

Bubbles:

True

Let’s put one in his clothes

Or something just in case

 

 

Blossom:

Will do

Anyway are you bringing him back soon Kon?

 

Buttercup:

Yes, Timmy,

I’m bringing your little chick back

Don’t worry

You’re already so overprotective

 

 

Blossom:

Don’t judge me

He’s so tiny

If I could wrap him in a bubble I would

 

 

Bubbles:

We know

It’s adorable

But at some point you’re gonna

Have to let go of the anxiety every time

He’s not in your direct line of sight

 

 

Buttercup:

Yeah, you literally

Tackled Jason to the ground

When he said he’d take him to his crib

For a nap yesterday

 

 

Blossom:

Who does he think he is huh

That’s my baby not his

 

Bubbles:

He was just trying to help honey

You were once again sleep deprived

 

Blossom:

Not an excuse

If we’re not careful

He’ll steal him from us I know he will

 

Buttercup:

I don’t know if you’re

Cute or deranged

Maybe both

Probably both

 

 

 

Bubbles:

Who knew Timmy would take

To being a dad so well

 

Blossom:

Ngl I’m just as surprised

I just

When I saw his little face

Something clicked you know?

 

Buttercup:

We know exactly what you mean

Ain’t that right Bartie

 

 

 

Bubbles:

Totally

I think it’s because he chose us

He decided we were his

His parent, his family

And how could we say no really?

 

 

Blossom:

Especially Kon and I

Since he looks so much like you

You both have us wrapped

Around your finger

 

Buttercup:

We stood no chance

 

 

 

Bubbles:

Guess that means I’ll have to be the strict

Parent huh

 

 

Blossom:

We’ll try and be strong I promise

 

Buttercup:

Promise for yourself

I’mma spoil the little tyke rotten

 

 

 

Bubbles:

>:( Conner

 

Blossom:

You’re gonna be sleeping

On the couch

 

Buttercup:

Ugh fine

I will be reasonable

 

 

 

Bubbles:

Good

 

 

Blossom:

Stop stalling and come back now

 

Buttercup:

unbelievable

 

 

Bubbles:

No Timmy’s right

It’s time for Helios’ nap

 

Blossom:

You got all his awake time

Bastard

 

Buttercup:

Stop being jealous

If you like him awake

So much you can take care

Of his nighttime cries alone

From now on

 

 

 

 

Blossom:

What, already tired

Of being his favorite plushie?

 

Buttercup:

You’re just salty cause

He likes me better

 

 

 

Blossom:

You take that back!

 

Bubbles:

Both of you stop

We all know his real favorite is Thad

Anyway

 

 

Blossom:

My worst enemy once again

 

Buttercup:

Let’s unite our forces

Against our common foe

 

 

 

 

Blossom:

Deal

 

Bubbles:

I’m tired of you

I have three babies

At home and Hel is the most mature

 

Buttercup:

Maybe he’ll teach us

 

 

Blossom:

They do say parenting

Is a learning experience

Oh crap I forgot to tell

B it was a false alarm

 

Buttercup:

Ffs Timothy

You’re going to kill your dad one day

 

 

 

Bubbles:

Go call off his nuclear warfare or something

 

 

Blossom:

Yeah yeah

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

Tim:

Yo Brucie

False alarm

Call off your drones

 

Essentially My Dad:

WHERE IS MY GRANDSON

 

Tim:

He just teleported to Kon’s arms

He’s fine

 

Essentially My Dad:

You had me so worried!

I’d already put the Bat Armor on!

 

Tim:

I’m sorry I panicked

But everything is fine

Also that’s kinda sweet you care so much

 

Essentially My Dad:

What do you mean of course I care

That’s my grandbaby!

 

Tim:

Aww

The grandfather role suits you

 

Essentially My Dad:

Don’t mock me

 

Tim:

I’m not!

I genuinely think you’re a good

Grandpa

 

Essentially My Dad:

Hm.

Well since it seems

I don’t get to have my youngest

So close to me anymore

I guess I’ll pour my energy into

Being a great grandfather from now on

 

Tim:

Aww is Dami leaving?

 

Essentially My Dad:

The Kents have done it again

They’ve taken everything from me

 

Tim:

So dramatic

It’s ok pops

I’ll help you get revenge

You’ll beat Clark at being best

Grandpa

 

Essentially My Dad:

That’s a good consolation prize

How are you adjusting to being

A dad by the way?

You seem to panic a lot less

Than your brother

He called me crying three times

Already

 

Tim:

Ugh don’t get me started on Dickie

Every single thing he does he

Thinks he’s doing wrong

Yesterday he told me

He was a terrible father cause he put

Cy’s onesie upside down

Meanwhile my son literally vanishes

Out of thin air sometimes

 

Essentially My Dad:

You know how much this means

To him

He’s been waiting for this moment

For a long time

And he’s so scared of letting

Everyone down, especially Cyrus

 

Tim:

Idiot

Any kid would give everything

To have a dad like him

 

Essentially My Dad:

Yeah, don’t tell him that

It’s just going to pressure him

Even more, to think

He has to live up to such high

Expectations

 

 

Tim:

I know

 

Essentially My Dad:

But you seem oddly peaceful

 

Tim:

Not really

I mean I do have some fears

And insecurities about all this

I just decided to let the love and joy

Win out

And the coffee

Coffee helps

 

Essentially My Dad:

Coffee always helps

 

Tim:

You’re the only one who gets me Brucie

 

Essentially My Dad:

You know, this is a compliment for me

But really bad news for you

 

Tim:

Heh

Could be worse

 

Essentially My Dad:

If you say so

I’m proud of you Tim

 

Tim:

… what did you just say

 

Essentially My Dad:

That I was proud of you?

 

Tim:

… take that back

 

Essentially My Dad:

Why?

 

Tim:

You don’t say that shit

That shit is for your deathbed old man!

 

Essentially My Dad:

Accept my love, brat

 

Tim:

Nope! Screw you

 

Essentially My Dad:

You’re the only one

Scared of me showing emotions

I hope you realize

 

Tim:

I’m not scared!

Just don’t say you’re proud of me

 

Essentially My Dad:

Why not?

 

Tim:

Because…

Wow

I don’t actually know

It just

It triggers something in me

 

Essentially My Dad:

That’s not good

I’ve told you I was proud of

You before haven’t I?

I don’t see how I couldn’t have

 

 

Tim:

You did

Once

Just before…

God damn it

You told me before you disappeared

Makes sense now

 

 

Essentially My Dad:

You mean to tell me

I haven’t told you since?

 

Tim:

Doesn’t seem like it

 

Essentially My Dad:

I’m sorry

I should tell you more often

 

Tim:

I would rather you didn’t

 

Essentially My Dad:

I’m not going anywhere Tim

I’m not leaving again

Me being proud of you doesn’t change that

 

Tim:

… you promise?

 

Essentially My Dad:

I promise

Are you ok?

 

Tim:

I think so…

It just

It hit me, all of a sudden

It all hit me

Losing you

The whole turmoil

The search

The desperation

The idea that I had failed you

You trusted me and I failed you

I couldn’t be the son you

Were proud of

I was so angry when Dick took Robin

From me because I thought he was telling me I was right

That I was a failure

I just…

Losing you broke my wings

 

Essentially My Dad:

I’m so sorry Tim

We never really talked

About what it did to you

We should have

You shouldn’t have been

Dealing with all this alone

You never failed me

Not once

And I never stopped being proud

Of you

If anything you keep making me

Prouder every day

 

Tim:

Thanks…

 

Essentially My Dad:

You’re welcome

 

Tim:

Hey Brucie…

What if

What if one day

Something happens

What if I…

What if I’m the one

Putting Hel through this

I can’t…

I can’t make my son go through this

 

Essentially My Dad:

You won’t

We will make sure this doesn’t happen

You and I both

We will stay right here for a really long time

Neither of us will abandon our son

 

Tim:

I hope you’re right…

 

Essentially My Dad:

Do you mind if I come by for a while?

I was going to ask anyway

Alfred and I did some

Gift shopping for the babies

 

Tim:

You literally cannot

Stop yourself huh

Sure, come by

 

Essentially My Dad:

Perfect, I’ll be there soon

Chapter Text

Absolute Cutie:

I’ve just realized something terrible.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Sounds ominous

What’s wrong babe?

Absolute Cutie:

I was rereading my game plan,

And I haven’t done the next step.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

What game plan?

What?

 

Absolute Cutie:

The plan to make us a couple of course

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

… There was a plan?

Absolute Cutie:

Of course there was a plan

I worked on it for months.

Jason helped me come up with it.

I followed the Dick Grayson Method Of Wooing

Faithfully.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

… I…

The Dick Grayson Method Of Wooing?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Indeed.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You really didn’t leave anything

Up to chance huh?

 

Absolute Cutie:

No.

It was too important.

I had to make sure

We’d end up here.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

It’s funny how every word

That comes out of your mouth makes

Me want to kiss you

 

Absolute Cutie:

Nothing’s stopping you.

Well except for the fact

You’re on baby-sitting duty right now.

How are Helios and Cyrus by the way?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

They’re great, we’re taking

A nap right now

I’m fighting for my life trying to text

With two babies on my chest

 

Absolute Cutie:

We can stop if you want.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Nah

You wanted to tell me something

Didn’t you?

About the next step of your

Grand wooing plan

Absolute Cutie:

Oh, yes.

I did.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I truly don’t see what step there is left

Since you’ve already successfully

Wooed me

Not that you needed much to do that

Either

 

Absolute Cutie:

I don’t agree.

You deserve to be courted properly.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I hope you realize

You’re making me blush right now

 

Absolute Cutie:

Honestly, I kind of really

Like that I’m able to do that.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You like the power huh?

 

Absolute Cutie:

No, mostly I think you’re

Pretty when you blush.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

STOP

 

Absolute Cutie:

Sorry kitten

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Just tell me about the next step

 

Absolute Cutie:

Step 8: tell Significant Other you love them

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I…

What?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I love you Thad.

I’m in love with you.

I’ve been in love with you since

Around the third month

Of us knowing each other.

I wanted to wait

For the right moment to tell you, and then

I think the moment passed and

I missed it because I was distracted

By how happy I was to be with you,

Which is a little bit stupid,

But oh well.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You…

You love me?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I do.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Colie…

I love you too

 

Absolute Cutie:

I know.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Ok first of all

Calm down Han Solo

Second what do you mean you know?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I mean this affectionately,

You’re as transparent as glass.

I saw you fall in love

With me.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

… you did?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Hm.

It was very cute

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

This is embarrassing…

 

Absolute Cutie:

No it’s not.

Do you know how good it feels

To watch your crush fall in love

With you in real time?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Wish I’d realized it was requited

 

Absolute Cutie:

This is why I need to do the most

To make sure you know.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Are there any more steps to your

Master plan?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Yes of course

Two more, it’s a ten steps plan

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Very intricate

 

Absolute Cutie:

Next step is getting married.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

WHAT

 

Absolute Cutie:

But that’s for later.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You…

Oh my God

 

Absolute Cutie:

Are you ok?

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

No I’m not

I woke the babies because of you

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’m sorry

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

You should be

You can’t say stuff like that

All of a sudden my heart

Nearly stopped!

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’m just telling you

What the plan says.

I didn’t come up with it

Dick did.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Pretty sure he was improvising

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’ve read his journal,

He was definitely not improvising.

He started saying

He would marry Wally when he was 13.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Damn that early?

Also why were you reading

His journal?

 

 

Absolute Cutie:

It was an accident.

Damian gave me a pile

Of books that he thought

I would like and

His journal was in it.

By the time I realized

What was happening,

I was very invested in the story.

I feel kinda bad.

But Dick said it was ok.

I think he was happy to get his hands

On the journal again.

He was terrified

Knowing it was in Damian’s hands.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I would be too in his place

Anyway next time you wanna

Talk marriage give me a warning

First

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’ll keep that in mind.

Just to be safe we should

Get a head start on step 10 first.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Which is?

 

Absolute Cutie:

Living happily ever after

Apparently.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

I think we’re already

Doing pretty well on that front

Aren’t we?

 

Absolute Cutie:

I think so too.

I’ll finish helping

Jon and Damian

With assembling furniture

And then I’ll come and give you a hand

With the babies

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Thank God

Although I’m thankful

Helios hasn’t vanished yet

And Cyrus only zapped me

With lightning once

 

Absolute Cutie:

He really likes doing that,

It makes him laugh.

I’ve noticed he only does it

To people who can withstand it,

Like he instinctively knows

He probably shouldn’t

Electrocute normal humans.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

He's already a little prankster

With a sense of moderation

It’s adorable

I wonder what other powers

These two will develop

The possibilities are endless

 

Absolute Cutie:

It’s fascinating.

And probably really anxiety-inducing

For their parents.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Good thing we’re

Just the uncles

We can watch them grow

Into cosmic powerhouses

With a smile on our faces

 

Absolute Cutie:

Being uncles is very cool.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Agreed. Now hurry up.

 

Absolute Cutie:

I’ll be as fast as possible.

Would go faster if the kids knew what they

Were doing.

Assembling a bookshelf

Shouldn’t be rocket science,

Just read the manual.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

That bad huh?

Absolute Cutie:

They’re hopeless.

I feel better about my lack

Of real life skills in the beginning

As it turns out

I’m not the only one

And not everyone has the

Excuse of having been raised in a tank

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Yeah, all things considering you’re

Pretty impressive

 

Absolute Cutie:

Thank you.

I’ll be here soon.

I love you kitten.

 

Thad (Boyfriend):

Love you too babe <3

Chapter Text

Bichito:

Babe

Come back to bed

 

 

Hubby:

I have to go baby you know I can’t stay

 

Bichito:

No, I refuse

Come back to your husband

This is your duty

 

Hubby:

Oh we using the Husband card now?

Bichito:

What good is marrying you

If I can’t use it as emotional blackmail?

 

Hubby:

Fair point

I really have to get back to my case though

 

Bichito:

No you don’t

You need to get back to bed

With me and not leave

For at least 8 hours

 

Hubby:

Never seen you so clingy

 

Bichito:

It’s your fault

Gave me an amazing honeymoon

Then went full workaholic

Mode when we got back

I miss my husband

I have needs

 

Hubby:

I’m sorry love

I might have gone a little overboard

It’s just

You know

With Dick and Tim getting kids

All of a sudden I wanna ease the burden

 

Bichito:

I understand that

I’ve tried to handle some

Of  Tim, Kon and Bart’s duties as well

But today is supposed to be

Our rest day

We agreed on that remember?

At least one every two weeks

 

 

Hubby:

You’re right…

I’m sorry

 

Bichito:

It’s alright

I know circumstances are tricky

That’s why I’m not demanding

Your time for the whole day

You can get back out there tonight

But I get you until the sun goes down

 

Hubby:

Sounds fair

I’ll just go get us breakfast first

 

Bichito:

You better not take long

I have plans

 

Hubby:

Oh really?

What kind of plans?

 

Bichito:

If I tell you the surprise

Will be ruined

 

Hubby:

A surprise?

Now I’m curious

Bichito:

Let’s just say it’s payback for the firefighter

Roleplay

 

Hubby:

You’re gonna be roleplaying

As my current media obsession?

Aka the Sonic verse?

 

Bichito:

Yeah no

We’re not doing some furry shit today

I’m not at that level yet

 

Hubby:

Where’s your sense of adventure?

 

Bichito:

I’m so tired of you

You know what I changed my mind

You can go away I don’t care anymore

 

Hubby:

Nope

Too late

Now I really wanna see what you’ve come up with

 

Bichito:

The pressure is on

I have to be worth the hype

 

Hubby:

You always are

Can’t I just get a tiny hint?

 

Bichito:

Let’s just say

I’m taking advantage of your

Very obvious armor kink

 

Hubby:

… Jaime if I come back and you’re

A knight we’re gonna have to

Get married again

 

Bichito:

I can’t go through another year of Alfred torture

 

Hubby:

You brought this upon yourself

Please tell me you have a sword

 

Bichito:

Come and find out princess

 

Hubby:

Ahzbibcbdhq

YOU

 

Bichito:

Yes?

 

Hubby:

Be there in 10 seconds

A Bug’s Life:

Hey thanks for the LARPing contacts bro

Really came in handy

 

Chicken Little:

Uh sure anytime

Those are actually Bart’s friends

But

Why did you need them anyway?

 

A Bug’s Life:

Was looking for good quality armor

 

Chicken Little:

o….k?

why?

 

A Bug’s Life:

No reason

 

Chicken Little:

…. Why are you acting so cagey

 

A Bug’s Life:

Don’t worry about it

All you need to know is

I got great use outta that armor

 

Chicken Little:

I am terrified of what that could

Possibly mean

And I want to know but at the same time

I really truly don’t

 

A Bug’s Life:

:D

 

Chicken Little:

Go away

You’re scaring me

Be gone spawn of Satan

 

A Bug’s Life:

Love you too bro

 

Chicken Little:

Marriage has changed you for the worse

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Jason, your husband is scaring me

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Really Timmy? You’re scared of Jaime of all

People?

Boy’s as non-threatening as they come

 

Child:

No no, let him cook

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

I need answers Jason

Why the armor

 

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Don’t

Just don’t

I’m not over it

I’ll never be over it

That FUCKING ARMOR

I SWEAR TO GOD

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

I don’t get it

Is he mad or something

 

Child:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C154mfX1fG0

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Really Dams?

 

 

Child:

I will not apologize

Anyways Jay, what’s up

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

I…

I have married the right man

I have never been prouder of

Any choice in my life

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Aww that’s cute

Don’t see where the armor is factoring in yet

But

Very cute

 

 

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

What the hell

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Leave me alone now

I need a nap

I’m absolutely exhausted

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

In the middle of the day like this?

Long night?

 

Child:

We still didn’t get any answers

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Praying for them to have gone on

 a LARPing adventure rn

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Sure

If you can call our bedroom adventurous

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

 

 

Child:

Oh

It’s a sex thing

Why am I not surprised

A bit disappointed, the tea is

Cold af

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

I KNEW I WOULD REGRET ASKING

FFS YOU HORNY BASTARDS

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Why do I now know Jason has an armor kink

I did not need nor want to know that

Why do I keep learning about his sex life

Against my will

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Hey, you asked

 

Child:

Honestly I don’t know why

You’re still shocked

All things considered this is one

Of the tamest things we’ve learned throughout

The years

And it’s still not as bad as that time he told us

He found Tim and Bart in the Batmobile

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

HE TOLD YOU

JASON PETER TODD HOW COULD YOU

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Like I was gonna keep that to myself

You should be glad I didn’t tell Brucie

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

What happened to my baby brothers

Dami you’re my last hope

 

 

Child:

Lmao sure Grayson

Sure

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Even Kon has reached acceptance

Seriously Dickie

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

What?

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

At some point you’re gonna have to

Confront it

 

 

Child:

Don’t listen to them

You’re perfectly valid and not at all

A nutjob in denial

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Thank you, this is why you’re my favorite

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Unbelievable

Boy is literally space married

And yet he can still play the innocence card

 

 

 

Child:

I’ll have you know my marriage is pure

And beautiful

Unlike Todd’s , the depraved

Bastard

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

No no, he’s got a point

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

My beautiful babies, so adorable

How’s living together by the way?

 

Child:

Great

Learned how to make bread from scratch

This week

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Careful now

Don’t fall into the Trad Wife rabbit hole

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

That would be the funniest shit ever though

 

Child:

I do think I could make a very good house

Husband though

Cole disagrees

He says I have no real life skills

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

It’s not too late to learn!

 

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Yeah no you’re doomed

 

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

completely

 

Child:

Thanks guys

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Don’t listen to them!

You can be whatever you set your mind to!

I’m sure your bread is great!

 

Child:

I mean other than the fact

I forgot to put the yeast in

It wasn’t that bad

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Ok I know I’m the last person

To judge someone’s culinary

Endeavors

But HOW do you forget the YEAST

In BREAD

 

 

 

 

Child:

Got distracted

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

By the pureness and innocence

Of your lover I bet

 

Child:

I can neither confirm nor deny

Anyway mistakes happen

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

It’s ok, you’ll get it next time!

 

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

This whole family is a fucking joke

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

At least we’re funny

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Dami should start a cooking youtube channel

“Damian’s small disasters”

 

Child:

You laugh but I actually kinda vibe with

The idea

Failing is the new winning

 

 

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Tim can be your co host!

Maybe this way he’ll actually learn how

To boil water properly at last!

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Hey I’m game

It would be a great bonding experience

 

Child:

Agreed

Let’s do this

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Oh boy what have I done

Notes:

hhhh no cause I just wanted to write about Jayme being cute and a tiny bit horny but they ended up being really horny and also Jason has a knight kink? idk
also the baby Robins starting acooking show wasn't on my bingo card but heh, it would be kinda hilarious, like Tim being an absolute menace in the kitchen and Dami only being marginally better (to be fair if Jon isn't there to distract him I'm sure he can at least follow a recipe... more or less. maybe. who knows).

anyway yeah, first chapter of the year lol, a whole mess as this year has been so far lmao
Next Chapter: Birdflash cause I honestly need my emotional support bis

Chapter 49: My Boy, Sweetest Joy I've Known

Summary:

Dick is spiraling but he gets support.

Notes:

hi.
so, I kinda disappeared and I'm sorry for that. Honestly 2025 has not been a treat so far. I'm trying to get back to this story little by little though . 12 chapters to go still, I'll do my best.

Hope you enjoy x

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Walls <3:

Dickie are you ok?

Jay says you’re spiraling again

 

Dickie <3:

He won’t stop crying Walls

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

I’ve tried everything

He’s not hungry, he doesn’t need changing

He had his nap

I just don’t understand

Why can’t I take care of him properly?

 

 

Walls <3:

Baby he’s three months old

He’s gonna cry for no reason

This has nothing to do with your ability as a parent

 

 

Dickie <3:

You always know how to make him stop though

But I don’t

What if he just doesn’t like me?

Oh God

Our son hates me

I’ve already fucked up so bad

Oh Lord

 

 

Walls <3:

Hey, darling?

Here’s what you’re gonna do

You’re gonna give Cy to his uncle Jay

You’re gonna sit down

And you’re going to breathe

Alright?

 

Dickie <3:

I… yeah

Yeah ok

Ok I’ll try that…

 

Walls <3:

Good

Now you listen to me

Cy doesn’t hate you

Does he love you right now? Of course not

It’s a freaking baby

His love only extends to the bottles we feed him

And the silly faces we make at him

But he’s going to grow up

And he’s going to absolutely adore you

Because you are the best father

 Anyone could ever ask for

And it’s not because you’re perfect

Or because you always have the right solution

For every situation

Or because you’re absolutely confident in

Everything you do

 

Dickie <3:

Obviously not

 

Walls <3:

It is however, because you try your

Darndest

And you never stop trying

Because you love him so purely

And fiercely

And you will never let anything happen

To him

He will see that

And you will be his hero

And his favorite person in the world

 

Dickie <3:

Second favorite

You’re probably gonna take

The first spot.

 

Walls <3:

We’ll share it, it’s ok

Until someone special comes along to steal it

Not looking forward to that day

 

Dickie <3:

Me neither

You really think I’m ok at this?

 

Walls <3:

You are great

You’re doing amazing

So stop being so hard on yourself

 

 

Dickie <3:

Ok…

I really don’t mean to be so neurotic you know

It’s not like I thought this whole parenting

Thing would be easy either

I knew what I was getting myself into

I just…

I don’t know

I’ve wanted this for so long and

And now it’s here and I just

Feel like it could all go up

In flames in seconds.

 

Walls <3:

I know

But everything is fine

We’re great

Our son is great too

At least he doesn’t zap you

Every ten seconds

My hair has become unmanageable

 

Dickie <3:

I think it suits you

Plus it makes him laugh

We can dress him as

Baby Thor for Halloween

Since Timmy said we’re going for

Superheroes

 

 

Walls <3:

He’ll be so big by then

It’s funny how with a baby

Things that seemed so short before

Seem like a lifetime

he just changes so quick

 

Dickie <3:

You’re getting emotional again aren’t you

 

Walls <3:

Do not judge me

I mean don’t get me wrong

I cant wait for him to be a real human

And not just a screaming crying pooping machine

Anymore but at the same time

I like having him be so tiny

 

Dickie <3:

Think of all the fun we’re gonna have with him

When he grows up though

 

 

Walls <3:

Yeah you’re right

Just not too fast

For the first time in my life I want things to

Slow down so I can savor every second

 

 

Dickie <3:

You’re adorable

Oh

I went back to Cy cause Jay was not

Having any more luck than me

And I just put him against my chest and he calmed down

I don’t know why it worked all of a sudden

 

Walls <3:

Maybe your heartbeat is soothing

Who knows

 

Dickie <3:

Well in any case I’m glad

He’s so cute

He’s probably gonna fall asleep again

 

Walls <3:

You two should nap

You haven’t been sleeping a lot these days

 

Dickie <3:

Yeah I guess that’s true

They do say sleep when the baby’s sleeping

Don’t they

Jay says he’s making us dinner btw

He’s asking if you can handle spice

 

Walls <3:

I mean I wanna say yes

But I don’t want him to take it as

A challenge to try and

Literally poison me

 

Dickie <3:

Our years of marriage have

Really trained you well

I’m proud of you

 

Walls <3:

Thanks, I take it as

A source of pride that I’ve survived

This long in this family

 

Dickie <3:

You should

I have to go now

I’m actually falling asleep

I love you Wally

Thanks for being such a great

 Supportive husband and father

 

 

Walls <3:

You’re very welcome

Sweet dreams you two

I’ll be home when you wake up

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

 

Did not birth me:

Hey kiddo

How’s the lack of sleep

 

My literal child:

Lmao

Kill me

 

Did not birth me:

Fun huh?

 

My literal child:

At least we’re in the same boat

 

Did not birth me:

Yeah

Had to check on you though

Met Clark at the Watchtower and he said

We had “twin zombie faces”

 

My literal child:

He’s the worst

He keeps telling me I should sleep more

LIKE I COULD CLARK

YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE

 

Did not birth me:

He does

That’s why he finds it funny

And he’s being a pest

 

My literal child:

I hate him

I would ban him but Tim said no

 

Did not birth me:

Not even Kon?

 

My literal child:

If it was up to Kon he wouldn’t even know

Where we live

 

Did not birth me:

Lmao

He’s not that bad

He’s very happy to be a grandfather

At least

 

My literal child:

Yeah

He and Bruce are really fighting

Tooth and nail for the best grandpa title

Gramps watches them fight

Cackling cause he knows he’s the only

Great-Grandfather

 

Did not birth me:

He’s having the time of his life

He’s already planned Cy and Hel’s

Next three birthdays to a T

He says he has to wait for the rest cause he needs

Their input

 

My literal child:

At least their opinion counts I guess

If not ours

 

Did not birth me:

I asked Iris to tell him to be reasonable

But she said the only choice I had

Was what flavor the cake would be

They’re in this together

 

My literal child:

Nutjobs

All of them

 

Did not birth me:

Totally

But to get back to my original

Line of questioning

How are you?

 

My literal child:

I’m ok, don’t worry

Although sleep deprived I couldn’t be

Happier

 

Did not birth me:

Good

I’m glad

 

My literal child:

How about you?

Tim keeps complaining that

Dick is being insane

 

Did not birth me:

Well tell him to be nice to his brother

Or I’m coming after him

 

 

My literal child:

Damn

Honestly you go Walls

Defend your man

Timmy deserves it

 

Did not birth me:

Thanks

Dickie is a bit vulnerable rn

But I think he’ll pull through

He just wants to do right by Cy you know?

I can’t fault him for that

 

My literal child:

Yeah I get it

I mean we all get those

Doubting moments

Yesterday Kon forgot how to put a diaper on

And then he just laid down on the floor

And proceeded to rethink life for about

Thirty minutes

 

Did not birth me:

Lmao and Tim has the nerve to judge my Dickie

Your boy is hilarious even in his mental

Breakdowns

 

My literal child:

Hey, be nice  >:(

 

Did not birth me:

Sorry sorry

I sympathize with

And support Kon one hundred percent

Who hasn’t forgotten how to function

And needed a total reboot once or twice

 

My literal child:

Exactly

Sometimes even HE can’t be a Superdad

 

Did not birth me:

Nice pun

 

My literal child:

Thanks

Both Tim and Kon told me off for this one

I thought it was clever

 

Did not birth me:

They have no sense of humor

You’re unappreciated in this household

 

My literal child:

Good thing you’re here

 

Did not birth me:

That’s because I’m the real Superdad

 

My literal child:

Makes sense

Thad says hi btw

 

Did not birth me:

Oh he’s here?

 

My literal child:

Yeah, he dropped by for a short while

Cause apparently he has a date

And that’s more important than

Spending time with his brother and nephew :’(

 

Did not birth me:

Ah, young love

 

My literal child:

Yeah

Boy took his guitar with him too

Think he’s gonna serenade him or something?

 

 

Did not birth me:

Oh God I hope he does

Honestly with a romcom like this unfolding

Before our eyes who needs tv

 

My literal child:

Agreed

He still won’t play for any of us though

Except him

 

Did not birth me:

He played for Jason

 

My literal child:

WHAT

 

Did not birth me:

And Jon too

Those three decided to start a band

 

My literal child:

WHY WASN’T I INFORMED

THIS IS THE WORST BETRAYAL

 

Did not birth me:

Aw poor Bartie

 

My literal child:

Why doesn’t my brother love me :’(((

 

Did not birth me:

He’s just shy

I’m sure he’ll invite you to his first gig

 

My literal child:

I’m so sad

I’m gonna go cuddle with my son

Who will never betray me and

Will always be my best bud

 

Did not birth me:

Oh boy

Have fun with that

Give Hel big smooches for me

 

My literal child:

Yeah, same with Cy

And hug Dickie for me too

He needs them

 

Did not birth me:

That he does

Notes:

awww poor Dickie he's having a hard time! I love him so much

Next Chapter: Damijon

Chapter 50: Doctor

Summary:

the Space Husband discuss cosmic nephews and life trajectories.

Notes:

hi everyone
so. not gonna lie, I'm struggling lmao. 2025 is jot my favorite so far. plus, I have lost direction for this story, I'm struggling with the last few chapters, I'm not sure what I want, how I want it to end. I'm determined to not half ass it, as it will end the whole series, but I'm pretty burnt out on it. I'm trying my best, but it might be a struggle for those last ten chapters.

In other news, I can't wait to be over so I can start new projects! I have so many ideas that I refus to write yet because I don't want to abandon this baby. so I gotta pull through. thanks to anyone still reading this, you mean the world to me 💙🩵

Hope you Enjoy x

Chapter Text

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Did you burn down the apartment yet?

 

Dami <3:

First of all rude

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Sorry, you know I have the upmost faith in your

Culinary capabilities, but with two babies in the mix

I’m sure it’s bound to get messy

 

Dami <3:

I can handle it

I’ll show you all I’m perfect house husband material

Just you wait

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Sure

How’s babysitting by the way?

 

Dami <3:

Great

I am a professional

I haven’t burst out crying in like

Ten minutes

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

So strong, so brave

They’re real monsters aren’t they

 

Dami <3:

How can they be so unmanageable?

They’re not even one yet

 

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I’d like to apologize to my parents

Raising a super baby must have been hell

 

Dami <3:

At least your dad was also a Super

How do we deal with cosmic babies

With chaotic powers?

Especially puny humans such as myself

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

We pray

That’s all we can do

Pray

 

Dami <3:

Doomsday is upon us

Anyway Cy is clingy

If I put him down he screams and starts

A storm INSIDE THE APARTMENT

Hel just keeps popping out of the crib

and into the most unsuspecting places

I’m terrified he’ll end up in the oven next

So I haven’t felt safe turning it on

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Do you think their parents briefed them to be

As horrifying as possible

Before asking us to babysit?

 

Dami <3:

They’re babies love

I don’t think they can be manipulated

Against us

Yet.

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I’m sure they found a way

They’re trying to punish us

 

Dami <3:

Punish me you mean

You abandoned me to my fate

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I had a class

 

Dami <3:

Excuses excuses

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I’ll be back soon I promise

This course is so boring anyway

I’d rather be tortured by infants right now

 

Dami <3:

Famous last words

But hey

We haven’t talked about how college

Was going in a while

Not really

Are you having doubts?

 

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I don’t know

I mean this particular course in boring but

The rest of it is not totally uninteresting

I feel… content, I guess

 

Dami <3:

But not fulfilled

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Hm, perhaps not

But I don’t think it’s a big deal

I just need to figure out how I’m supposed to use

All that knowledge practically

Like, obviously I could just become a plain old reporter

 

Dami <3:

But you don’t want to

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Not really no

I’ll figure it out

I have time right?

 

Dami <3:

Of course you do babe

I’m so proud of you

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Whatever for?

 

Dami <3:

You’re giving yourself grace

You’re not putting pressure on yourself

To have things figured out right this instant

Anymore

Sure you might still be wandering

But you’re not lost.

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I love you <3

 

Dami <3:

<3

 

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

There goes another one of your rare heart texts!

You know they almost mean more than hearing you

Say I love you out loud

 

Dami <3:

You’re ridiculous

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I know

What about you though?

You’ve seemed pensive these days

 

Dami <3:

Oh

Yeah

I guess um…

I think I know what I want to do now

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

You mean, as a career?

 

 

Dami <3:

Yeah

I’ve um

Been talking with Alfred a lot

About

My Grandfather

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I’m guessing you don’t mean Ra’s

 

Dami <3:

Very funny

No, I mean Thomas

I guess it’s

It’s strange, we never talk about him and Martha

Not with my father anyway

And Alfred kept saying I reminded him of Thomas

From the little I’d heard of him until then

I couldn’t really see how he could think I was anything

Like him but he insisted and well

I think he’s right

Or at least…

I think the man I want to become

is a lot like Thomas Wayne was

 

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Yeah?

 

Dami <3:

Yeah…

I think…

I think I wanna become a doctor

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

It’s the first time you put it into words isn’t it

 

Dami <3:

Yeah…

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

you know I’m gonna support you all the way right?

 

Dami <3:

I know

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

So

You’re doing it?

 

Dami <3:

… Yeah

Yeah I am

I’m applying to medical school

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

My space-husband the doctor 😍

I really lucked out

 

Dami <3:

I still get to be trophy husband

 

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

We’ll see about that

I’ll out trophy you easily

 

Dami <3:

Pfft

We’re gonna be a power couple aren’t we

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

We already are

 

Dami <3:

Touché

Gotta go, Hel opened a cross-dimensional portal

In the living room

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

Oh boy

Please save my lego collection

 

Dami <3:

I’ll do my best

Love you, have fun in class

 

Jonnie <3 (if you take the heart off I’m divorcing you):

I won’t, but thanks anyway

Good luck with not getting killed by our nephews

Notes:

Supersons managed to pull me out of my slump, they really do be magic. as you can see I've used the recent developpments in the comics concerning Damian to inspire me! boy's gonna be a doctor! so proud.

You’ve survived long enough already

You will be missed though

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Someone tell me what’s going on

Before I pass out

 

I’m Like TT:

I blame Scotland

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Weird thought process but okay

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

I’m so lost…

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Long story short Cole discovered kilts

 

I’m Like TT:

And I will never recover

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Ah.

Understandable

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

It suits him

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Undeniably so

 

 

I’m Like TT:

YES

THAT’S THE PROBLEM

His legs…

He’s been a happy puppy ever since

Goddamn it I love that man

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

We know

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

By the way, traitor

Why did I have to learn from Tim

That you’re thinking of going on a trip?

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

I’m sorry what?

Thaddie you better not be planning

A space trip to elope!

 

 

I’m Like TT:

Uh…

I was just thinking of taking Cole to Greece

No elopement planned

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Sorry, we’re still traumatized by the kids

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I don’t think this family will ever recover

 

I’m Like TT:

 And going to college

Honestly them being space married

Actually ended up going pretty well

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Stop making sense

My baby has been stolen by the demon in

Angel cosplay that is Jon Kent

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Now baby you know I’m always on your side

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Hel and Cy are currently making sure

Grandpa Brucie will die early

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Ever since they learned to walk

Nothing can stop them anymore

Not even the Dark Knight

At least Hel stopped teleporting away

Now that he can just run around

With Cy

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Small victories I guess

Cy’s zapping has calmed down as well

But he loves to open portals and bring out

Monsters now

 

I’m Like TT:

You make parenting sound terrifying

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

It’s not that bad really

At least they sleep at night now

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

That’s a big improvement

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Agreed

Anyway we passed way too quickly

Over the fact Thad wants to take his boo

To Greece

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Yeah that’s true

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Any particular reason?

 

I’m Like TT:

I just feel like it

But don’t tell him

It’s a surprise

And if he knows he’ll try to pay for

Everything and I want to treat him for once

Been working extra hours

And everything

 

 

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Dear Lord you’re so precious

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Don’t worry your secret is safe with us

We’ll make sure you can spoil your boy

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

I won’t even tell Kon

Cause he’s shit at keeping secrets

 

I’m Like TT:

Thanks for that

 

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Oh crap

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

???

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

What’s wrong Dickie?

Wait…

Oh Lord nevermind

 

I’m Like TT:

Won’t Share His Good-Looking Genes:

Gtg sorry

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Why Did You Grow Up:

I’ll bring Cy home to you Walls

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Them up for a few hours still

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

It’s an emergency

 

 

I’m Like TT:

Y’all stop being vague and tell

Us what the hell is going on!

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

What Thad said

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

Jason crisis in coming

Jaime sent me a heads up

Probably told Dick too

Dick is probably gone to try and find

Jay

 

I’m Like TT:

Is he alright?

What happened?

 

 

Why Did You Grow Up:

He just learned some stuff

Might make him want to beat up

Bruce again we’re not sure

Anyway I have to go make sure

Jaime doesn’t have a panic attack

See y’all later

 

I’m Like TT:

I…

Why are they like this?

I swear Bart is too much like the Robins

Leaving us with barely enough info

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Agreed

I’ll try and get to the bottom of it later

Right now I have a grumpy Cy crying because

We separated him from Hel to deal with

 

I’m Like TT:

Damn good luck with that

 

 

Serial Hugging Dad:

Thanks I’m gonna need it

Chapter Text

 

Hubby:

You left the tv on

 

 

Bichito:

Shit, did I?

Sorry, I was stressed out when I left

Must have forgotten

 

 

 

 

 

Hubby:

It’s alright

You were watching old news broadcasts?

 

Bichito:

Yeah, I’m helping Tim on a case

He’s swamped

Something about some corrupt politician In Gotham

 

 

 

Hubby:

I see

Want some help?

 

Bichito:

That’s okay, I think Tim’s got what he needs

 

 

 

Hubby:

Alright

Oh, this is from when I was dead lol

 

Bichito:

Glad you seem to find it funny Tesoro

 

 

Hubby:

Better to laugh about it right?

Funny, I never really tried to find out what happened

During that time

Sometimes people tell me about events from that period

And I just stare blankly until they realize

 

Bichito:

You do it on purpose don’t you

 

 

 

Hubby:

It’s hilarious every time

They always panic and think I’m about to

Spiral or something

 

Bichito:

I married a monster

 

 

 

Hubby:

Yeah, and you love that monster

 

Bichito:

True

 

 

 

Hubby:

Wait

I thought it was a news broadcast

Not a comedy skit

 

Bichito:

What do you mean?

 

 

 

Hubby:

They just said the Joker was

The UN ambassador for Iran

 

Bichito:

Oh yeah

Forgot that happened

 

 

 

Hubby:

… you mean to tell me it’s not a joke?

 

Bichito:

Unfortunately no…

You okay?

 

 

 

 

Hubby:

I mean…

Not really, my murderer went on

To get a high ranking position as government

Official

But you know

Nothing I can do about it now

 

Bichito:

I’m sorry darling

 

 

 

Hubby:

Not your fault

I won’t dwell on it too long for my mental health

Wait

What’s Clark doing?

Bichito:

Huh?

 

 

 

Hubby:

Why is Superman playing bodyguard

For the Joker?

 

Bichito:

I think he was assigned to protect him by the US government

 

 

 

Hubby:

What the actual fuck?

Why would they do that?

 

Bichito:

I’m… not sure

 

 

 

Hubby:

You know something don’t you

 

Bichito:

I uh… I mean I wasn’t in the picture

At the time so it’s not like I know for sure…

 

 

 

Hubby:

Jaime.

 

Bichito:

I uh…

I think the Joker orchestrated all this

So he would get immunity

And I also think Superman might have been called

In to uh….

 

 

 

Hubby:

Yes?

 

Bichito:

To keep Batman in check

 

 

Hubby:

… wait

 

Bichito:

Like I said, I don’t know anything for sure

Tim didn’t know a lot about that time since

It was before him

He just mentioned something about it in passing once

 

 

 

 

Hubby:

The US government sent Superman to

Keep Batman in check…

So Bruce wouldn’t… avenge me?

 

Bichito:

… I think so

 

 

 

Hubby:

But… he never tried to

He wouldn’t have killed the joker

He wouldn’t have broken his code

 

Bichito:

Jay…

 

 

 

Hubby:

No

No don’t tell me he would have

Don’t tell me he tried because

Because if it’s true then

If it’s true…

 

Bichito:

Jason, calm down

I’ll be home in fifteen minutes

Just breathe

 

 

 

Hubby:

…. I have to go

 

Bichito:

Don’t you dare!

You sit your ass down on the couch

and wait for me you hear me?

Jay?

Jason answer me

 

 

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

Bother Figure:

Jason, please answer

We just want to make sure you’re okay

Please, we’re sorry

Come back, and we’ll explain everything

We love you

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

 

Hobbit:

Hey asshole

Your husband is freaking out

At least tell him you’re okay

Seriously Jay I get it’s hard

But don’t shut everyone out like this

Don’t do this to the people who love you

Not again

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

I know where you’re hiding

I won’t tell anyone, if you answer me

Just tell me you’re safe and I’ll leave you be

 

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Well played kid

I’m safe

And before you ask

Yes, sober also

 

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Good

Take your time

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Thanks

 

Mini Me but Deadlier:

Don’t mention it

I love you

Unfortunately Still Kicking:

Fuck off

I love you too kiddo

 

 

<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

 

 

Jason:

I thought you’d be the first one to text

 

Big Bad Bats:

I didn’t think you’d want to hear from me

Right now

 

 

Jason:

Honestly?

I don’t even know anymore

 

Big Bad Bats:

I’m sorry Jason.

 

 

Jason:

… why?

 

Big Bad Bats:

Why?

 

 

Jason:

Why did you hide it from me?

Why did you let me think you didn’t even try?

Why did you let me believe

 the thought never crossed your mind?

Why did you…

Why did you let me hate you?

 

Big Bad Bats:

Because I deserved it

Because I failed

Because he’s still breathing

 

 

Jason:

Fucking hell Bruce…

Tell me the truth for once

Were you going to kill him?

Was that your first instinct?

 

Big Bad Bats:

Yes.

Yes, that was my first instinct

Despite everything I said

Despite my lifelong commitment

To preserving life

I was going to willingly end his

 

 

Jason:

Fuck…

Why did you let me hate you?

For fuck sake Bruce I hated you for nothing…

 

Big Bad Bats:

I failed

I failed to protect you

I failed to avenge you

I failed to be there for you like

You needed me to when you came back

I deserved your hatred

 

 

Jason:

You goddamned stubborn fool!

You tried!

Do you know how much that means to me?

He took me away from you, and I thought

That didn’t matter to you!

I thought you didn’t care!

Don’t you see?

It was never about him

It was always about you

And me

And what I meant to you

It was about my dad actually giving a damn about me!

 

 

Big Bad Bats:

I’m sorry Jaybird

I should have never let you think for

One second that I wouldn’t destroy the

Entire world for you if I had to

You’re my son

My little boy

Nothing is more important than my children

Not even the mission

No matter how many times I try to say otherwise

The truth is

Without my family

The mission doesn’t even have meaning anymore

The mission used to be my purpose

The reason I was still alive

But now my purpose is this family

I’m sorry I didn’t make that clear earlier

 

 

Jason:

Fuck you

Fuck you for making me hate you for years

I’ll never forgive you

 

Big Bad Bats:

I know

 

 

Jason:

I’m also sorry

I’m so sorry dad…

 

Big Bad Bats:

Don’t apologize

 

 

Jason:

No, I need to

I was mad and insecure and so damn stupid

I couldn’t get past my own grief of

Being taken away from you so soon

 

Big Bad Bats:

You were a kid Jason

A traumatized kid that got resurrected

In the most horrible way possible

Who by all accounts should have been

Even more unstable than you were when you

Came back

I think you can give yourself some grace

 

 

Jason:

Stop being so understanding

I don’t want you to be

I HATED you

I wanted you dead

It’s never gonna be okay

 

Big Bad Bats:

Maybe not

But I won’t ever hold it against you

 

Jason:

You’re infuriating

 

Big Bad Bats:

I know

I’m picking you up by the way

 

 

Jason:

Damian sold me out?

 

Big Bad Bats:

No, I just knew where you were the whole time

 

 

Jason:

Right

Figures

Fine

But you’re buying me ice cream

I don’t see why I don’t get ice cream when

I’m sad like your other sons

 

Big Bad Bats:

Alright

Come out now

I’m waiting

None of us can compete let’s be honest

 

Child:

I’m okay with it

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Nope, that’s still me

But you get to be Dickie’s favorite so there’s that

 

Child:

Fair enough

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

The utter disrespect

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

I don’t have a favorite

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Don’t lie

 

Child:

Yeah we all know I’m your favorite

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Unfortunately the kid is right

I feel so unloved

Unfortunately as his son in law I have to ask you

To not beat him up

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Don’t be like that Dams

Child:

You do know he is also technically your

Son’s grandfather right?

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Fine, I’ll leave him alone for little Hel’s sake

The things I’d do for this tiny natural disaster

Both of them really

Wouldn’t we all

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Ugh fine

Clark can live another day

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

On a more serious note

I’m sorry Jay

I should have told you about this whole fuckery

Sooner

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Nah

I wouldn’t have listened to you anyway

Don’t worry about it

 

Child:

In a way

Doesn’t it feel good to know the truth?

 

 

Quit Telling Everyone I’m Dead:

Yeah…

I guess it does

Although I don’t really need proof

that I’m loved anymore

It’s still nice to have some

 

 

Too Old To Be Boy Wonder:

Wow

The character development is outstanding

I’m very moved

 

The Best Big Brother We Could Ever Ask For:

Notes:

sooooo... yeah lmao
ever since I heard about the whole Joker as ambassador of Iran thing I've had this idea floating in my head. by the way this marks the end of Jason's arc in this fic! (doesn't mean he wont appear in the next few chapters, just that he won't be the focus anymore).
in other news, this fic has slowly but surely accidently become my outlet to deal with daddy issues and I'm sorry about that, I've realized it by rereading a few chapters (and crying lol).

anyway brace yourselves cause it's not over.

Next Chapter: Kon has an existential crisis

Chapter 53: Victory Well Earned

Summary:

Conner on Imposter Syndrome

Notes:

hi!
so.
finishing this fic has proven to be the hardest thing I've ever had to do writing wise. it's hard to find new ideas. I've already written next chapter, and out of the six left to write I know what to write for four of them. I know where I'm going to go with the very last chapter, it's just a matter of getting to it. could I just make the fic shorter? I could yes, but the completionist in me doesnt allow for that. it has to be 60 chapter or I'll lose my mind lol. anyways I'm on a writing session and would like to finish three more chaptes today because the goal is to end this fic befoe june so I can start fresh on a new fic this summer!
enough rambling! hope you enjoy! x

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Baby?

Clark said you’ve been silent and

Staring at the horizon for twenty minutes

Ever since you put Hel down for a nap

Is everything alright?

 

Connie <3:

Yeah I’m okay

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

You sure?

I could just come to Smallville for a little while

If you need

 

Connie <3:

You’re busy

Don’t worry about it I promise I’m okay

I’m just...

thinking

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

About what?

 

Connie <3:

Hel called me “Dada” an hour ago

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

EBFEFBZOZPPAA

HIS FIRST WORD

ARE YOU SERIOUS

 

Connie <3:

Yeah

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

I’m so jealous!!!

Tim is gonna crash out so bad!

 

Connie <3:

Lmao yeah he’s never gonna recover from this

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

How did it feel?

 

Connie <3:

It was…

It’s just an amazing feeling

I didn’t think I could love the little gremlin more

Than I already do but I was wrong

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Aww

Why the full shut down though?

 

Connie <3:

I’m not sure

I guess…

Imposter syndrome?

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

How so?

Connie <3:

I know it’s stupid but

I’ve been feeling more and more like I don’t

Deserve anything I have nowadays

I mean

It’s kinda like this perfect ready-made family

Has fallen onto my lap and I didn’t do anything to earn it

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

I swear to God I’m going to hug you

 

Connie <3:

Only you would make this sound threatening

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

How long have you been thinking like this?

 

Connie <3:

Probably since we first brought Hel home

I just

I think it hit me at that point

How stagnant I had been

I feel like the whole entire world around me had changed

And I had stayed the same

Things happened to me, I didn’t make them happen

You feel me?

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

I understand

It’s not true

But I understand why you think this way

 

Connie <3:

I mean

Literally every single person around us

 Has had this whole character building journey

And when I look at myself I feel like I haven’t moved at all

Like I’m stuck

Frozen in time

 

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

That’s because you don’t notice the subtle things

You’ve grown a lot Kon

But you didn’t have drastic moments

You didn’t get earth shattering self-realizations

That doesn’t mean you didn’t evolve

You don’t need to “turn your life around”

Or crash and burn to rebuild for your

Evolution to be valid

You’ve just been steady in your growth

Stumbling along the way like everyone does

Just because you didn’t brave the biggest storms

Doesn’t mean your sailing isn’t meaningful

 

Connie <3:

Why do you always know just what to say?

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

It’s a gift

By the way, no one has to earn happiness

But if we did, then you definitely did earn it

You’re our pillar Kon

Being constant is not a bad thing

You make Timmy, Hel and I feel safe

And it has nothing to do with your super strength

 

 

Connie <3:

I guess you’re right…

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

I am

Now let yourself be happy your son called you dada

 

Connie <3:

Yes sir

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

Good

You should go bully Tim about it now

 

 

Connie <3:

You bet your ass I’m going to

 

 

#1 Threat to my mental stability:

That’s my boy <3

 

 

Connie <3:

<3

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

At what?

 

Dolly:

Life, basically

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

I mean yeah obviously

You’re dating Bart

Then again so am I

So we both won

 

Dolly:

You know what

I was supposed to bully you

But you’re so smooth and right it makes me mad

Can’t believe Bartie missed your best

Pick up line yet

 

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Yeah I kinda wasted it didn’t I

Wait

Why were you about to bully me?

 

Dolly:

My son called me Dada

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

… say sike right now

 

Dolly:

Nope

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

YOU MOTHERFUCKER

HOW DARE YOU

 

Dolly:

Deal with it Drake

I’m the favorite

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

I hate you

 

Dolly:

Hel doesn’t

 

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Fuck you

This should have been me

 

Dolly:

Bartie was right making you suffer about it

Really helps with the imposter syndrome

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Imposter syndrome?

 

Dolly:

Don’t worry about it it’s been dealt with

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

You sure?

 

Dolly:

Earlier he was crying until I put one of your voice notes

And he calmed down instantly

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

He… did?

 

Dolly:

Yup

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

You’re not just saying it to make me feel better

 

Dolly:

Nah, it’s true

Besides, it wouldn’t be fun to

 beat you at this whole dad thing if you

Weren’t stiff competition

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Makes sense I guess

How did it feel by the way?

When he called you dada?

 

Dolly:

I’m gonna be riding on that high for weeks probably

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

No shit

Now I miss my precious son

I should retire and become a stay-at-home dad

 

Dolly:

You wouldn’t last two weeks

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

You can’t know that

Maybe it’s my calling

 

Dolly:

It’s not, and it’s okay

Now go back to work, fearless leader

 

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Ugh fine

I do hope you see how ironic you saying

It’s not my calling is when my job

Since I took over as team leader

Has basically been handling teenage superheroes

 

Dolly:

Touché

Now go

 

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Promise you’ll send me pics of our boy

 

Dolly:

Clark has already Been sending

 tons of pics in the groupchat

 

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

Yeah but I want more

Just for me

 

Dolly:

Fine

I’ll do a photoshoot

 

#1 Reason I can’t sleep at night:

You’re the best

Alright have fun daddy

 

Dolly:

Too late <3

 

Dolly:

Absolute menace

Definitely Not My Favorite:

DAMIAN THOMAS WAYNE

HOW DARE YOU

 

My precious baby bro:

Um

Hi?

What did I do this time?

I’m trying to think but

I’ve been behaving lately

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

I can’t believe

You have the NERVE

The absolute GUMPTION

To ask WHAT YOU DID?

 

My precious baby bro:

I thought Cy wasn’t keeping you up

anymore these days

And your mental breaks were over?

Honestly you’re scaring me

 

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

So when were you going to tell me you were

Going to med school?

 

My precious baby bro:

… oh crap

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

Yeah!

Oh crap indeed!

 

My precious baby bro:

I’m sorry okay?

I kinda… forgot

 

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

How can you just forget telling me

About a decision that will affect

Your entire life?!

 

My precious baby bro:

I don’t know

I guess at first I was waiting for a moment

When you wouldn’t be too busy

And then I forgot I hadn’t told you yet?

I mean it’s hard to keep track of who I told

Or not

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

You used to come to me first for these

Kinds of news

 

My precious baby bro:

You were less busy then

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

I’ve been neglecting you haven’t I

 

My precious baby bro:

No you idiot

You have a one year old

Of course you’re gonna have less time

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

Still

I should be able to be available when you

Need me

I’m missing so much

 

My precious baby bro:

Stop that right now

You haven’t missed much

I just started applying last week

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

How did it even come about?

 

My precious baby bro:

Talked to Alfred about my grandfather

Thomas, I mean

He said I reminded him of him sometimes.

Then I started thinking and honestly

I thik it’s the first time being someone’s legacy

Hasn’t felt daunting or stressful

Thinking I could walk in his footstep

Didn’t make me feel like I had something to prove

Honoring him didn’t feel like

I was betraying myself

Or losing who I was

It felt like even though it was me walking the same

Path he did, for the first time

It was a path I actually chose

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

That’s… very profound Dams

And I think you’ll make a great doctor

One that your grandfather would be proud of

And one all of us will be too

 

My precious baby bro:

Thanks

It’s strange

Actually having a goal outside of being Robin for once

It feels like pulling someone out

Of the rubbles inside my mind

Someone I had left in the dust for too long

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

You?

 

My precious baby bro:

Yeah

Me

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

Well, it’s nice of you to show up

 

My precious baby bro:

It is

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

How did Bruce react?

 

My precious baby bro:

He shut down for about three hours

Then he gave me his father’s old stethoscope

 

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

Yeah sounds like him

I think you could not have made him prouder

Than with this news

 

My precious baby bro:

That’s an added bonus I guess

Always nice to make fathe proud

 

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

True

Anyway once you know where you’re headed

We’ll throw you a big party!

 

My precious baby bro:

You don’t have to

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

Shush!

I already called Alfred

 

My precious baby bro:

Of course you did

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

It’s going to be even more epic

Than the first Ice Cream Paty

 

My precious baby bro:

We haven’t ever topped that party

O amount of ice cream has ever been

 able to capture this lightning in a bottle

moment in time

 

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

Don’t underestimate my powers

With my brains and Alfred’s skils

It’s going to be epic

 

My precious baby bro:

Heh

This will be good training for all of

Cyrus’s future birthday parties I guess

In a way I’m your practice baby

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

Funny how that turned out

But you’re not wrong

And now look at you

All grown up and headed to med school

I think I’m going to cry

 

My precious baby bro:

Aaand that’s my cue

Bye Grayson

 

Definitely Not My Favorite:

Nooo don’t go!

Come back!

Stop ignoring meeee

Ugh

Kids

So ungrateful

Chapter Text

 

Groupchat

(This Groupchat No Longer Has A

Purpose But It’s Nice That It Exists)

Boi We Stole From The Robins added Thaddeus Thawne

To the Groupchat

Boi We Stole From The Robins renamed Thaddeus Thawne

To Lover Boi’s Boi

Boi We Stole From The Robins renamed the Groupchat

“I was too lazy to make a new GC for the band lol”

 

 

 Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Done!

 

Jonnie Boi:

It literally takes two seconds to make a new GC Jason

I could have done it if you couldn’t be bothered

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I have too many GCs already

This one has always been multi purpose anyway

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

OMG I’m in the most coveted Groupchat!

Bart and Tim are gonna flip when they find out

They’ve been trying to infiltrate it for months!

 

Lover Boi:

Hi Kitten.

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

😱 😱 😱

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Did he just

 

Very Soft Boi:

Yeah, he does that

It’s not new

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

… Colie?

Remember how we said you wouldn’t

Call me kitten in public?

 

 

Lover Boi:

But this isn’t public?

It’s a groupchat.

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

That’s….

You know what?

Fair enough

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

​😭​😭​😭​💀​💀​💀​

COLE YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I’m freaking out that Kon isn’t

Freaking out

 

Very Soft Boi:

Like I said

Old news

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

Bart is a snitch

 

Lover Boi:

I don’t understand

Did I do something wrong?

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

Absolutely not

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Never once in your life

 

 

Very Soft Boi:

Never once in your life

DAMN IT JASON THAT WAS MY LINE

 

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

What the twin besties said

I get a little embarrassed when you call me

Kitten in front of people that’s all

But you’re so genuine I’ve decided to pull through

 

Lover Boi:

Oh.

I don’t want to embarrass you though.

I’m sorry.

 Lover Boi’s Boi:

Don’t worry babe

Honestly I’m realizing I have nothing

To be embarrassed about

And anyone who tries to make fun of me

For liking when my boyfriend

Calls me kitten will meet my evil

Side, understood guys? :)

 

Jonnie Boi:

Oh Lord

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

How can a smiley look so threatening?

 

 

Very Soft Boi:

It’s in his genes.

You learn to deal with it

Bart would be so proud Thad

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

I know

Lover Boi:

So I can keep calling you kitten?

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

Yeah baby, knock yourself out

 

Jonnie Boi:

Beautiful

You’re the only reason I still believe in love

 

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

You have a whole ass space husband

 

Very Soft Boi:

Don’t remind me

 

Jonnie Boi:

I’m not talking to him

He said I was ugly this morning

 

 

Lover Boi:

That doesn’t sound like Damian at all

 

Jonnie Boi:

That’s what he meant

 

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

What were his exact words?

 

 

Very Soft Boi:

I can feel the dramatic flair from miles away

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

I asked him how I looked for my final presentation

And he said I looked fine

 

Very Soft Boi:

Just as I thought

You’re dramatic for no reason

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

No no he’s valid

You never call your partner fine

When they ask how they look

That’s rule number one

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

Agreed

 

Jonnie Boi:

Thank you!

 

 

 

Lover Boi:

Interesting.

I’m going to note that somewhere.

 

 

Very Soft Boi:

For heaven’s sake

You guys are insane

It was in the morning

Poor boy probably wasn’t even fully awake yet

 

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

That’s no excuse

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

The automatic response should be stunning

 

Jonnie Boi:

You guys get me

I can’t believe Kon’s going to bats for Damian though

Why do you like him more than me?

 

Very Soft Boi:

Because you’re an annoying little shit

And he has to put up with your antics

 

Jonnie Boi:

😱​😢​😭​

Colie Kon is being mean to me again! 😢​💔​

Lover Boi:

I’m not sure but

I think you kind of deserve it this time Jonnie sorry.

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

Did you just… take Kon’s side?

You never take his side!

 

Very Soft Boi:

Even I’m shocked

Thanks Colie

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

This is the drama I keep this GC

Unmuted for

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

I feel you man

Lover Boi:

It’s not about taking sides.

I just think it’s important that Conner,

As your older brother,

Tells you when he thinks you’re doing something wrong

Instead of coddling you.

It shows he actually respects you as an adult,

Which I am told you technically are

At almost nineteen now.

 

Jonnie Boi:

… ok that makes sense

Damn Cole you’re getting wiser and wiser every day

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

You’re so hot when you’re all sensible and stuff

 

Lover Boi:

I am?

Lover Boi’s Boi:

Yes you are

Makes me very frustrated that I’m not at home

Right now to make out with you

 

Very Soft Boi:

Thaddeus I swear to God

 

Jonnie Boi:

The bravery

The absolute nerve of this man

Honestly respect

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

This is the best day of my life

But also get a room you two

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

You are the absolute last person to tell

Anyone to get a room Jason

 

Lover Boi:

I’m confused.

And a little flustered.

Is that normal?

 

 

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

Afraid so bro

Don’t worry we all went through this

At some point

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I want to know when Thad became so bold

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

Not sure

It progressed naturally

 

Very Soft Boi:

Deep breaths

In and out

 

 

Lover Boi:

What’s wrong Conner?

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

He’s just back in the depression stage

Of his grief

Don’t mind him

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Anyways not that this conversation isn’t fun but

We were supposed to talk about the band

Lover Boi:

But why are Kon and I here?

We’re not part of the band

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

Cause Jason is lazy

Plus you’re our manager so you have to be there

We can throw Kon out though

 

Very Soft Boi:

And you wonder why I call you a little shit

Damian would never threaten to kick me out

I’m going to adopt him and leave you to rot

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Back off

The brat is off limits

Dickiebird would throw hands

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

I think Kon should be here

 

Very Soft Boi:

That’s actually nice

Thanks Thad

 

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

You’re welcome

You can be our snack provider

Since everyone needs a role

 

Very Soft Boi:

You almost had me fooled not gonna lie

 

Lover Boi:

You do provide the best snacks.

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

He’s not wrong

 

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Okay Kon is band mom confirmed

 

Very Soft Boi:

Unappreciated and taken advantage of

At every turn

I do feel like a mom

 

  Lover Boi’s Boi:

See it works

 

Lover Boi:

Are you guys ready for your first gig?

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

Hell yeah!

You should have seen how Thad shredded

 on the guitar last rehearsal

Pure rock star energy

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Yeah our boy is getting absolutely

Incredible at it

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

Aw guys shucks

 

Lover Boi:

I knew it was a good idea to buy five guitars

 

Jonnie Boi:

Wait five?

I thought you bought him three?

 

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

He bought two more once we started the band

I had to beg him to stop

 

Lover Boi:

I should buy a new one for the gig

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

Dear Lord

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Sugar daddy Cole is back in full force

 

Very Soft Boi:

Cole

Remember what you said earlier

About me respecting Jon enough to tell him

When I think he’s going too far?

It is with great love and respect

That I am now calling you out

On your insanity

 

Lover Boi:

But I like buying guitars.

 

  Lover Boi’s Boi:

We cant even store them

properly anymore baby

We don’t have the space

 

 

Lover Boi:

That’s okay we can just move.

 

 Jonnie Boi:

Your logical conclusion is to move?

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

He has a point

 

Very Soft Boi:

Cole you can’t just move so you

Have space to buy more guitars for your boyfriend

 

 

Lover Boi:

Pretty sure I can though.

 Very Soft Boi:

Okay, my bad, you can

But you shouldn’t

 

Jonnie Boi:

It’s a little excessive

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Don’t listen to them

I love the energy

You have the vision

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

I’m torn

On the one hand I shouldn’t encourage

This type of insanity

On the other hand it is kinda hot

 

Very Soft Boi:

Don’t tell him that ffs

 

 

 

Lover Boi:

Having more space would only be beneficial.

We can have a room for when

We look after Helios and Cyrus.

And we can adopt another cat.

Or two.

Or fifteen.

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

Definitely fifteen

 

Jonnie Boi:

Someone stop them

They’ve gone mad

 

Very Soft Boi:

They called me mad when I said

I wanted five puppies but fifteen cats is okay?

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

None of you are sane 

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

You say that like it’s new information

 

 

Lover Boi:

We’ll just adopt them little by little.

But I’m pretty sure we’ll end up

with fifteen at some point.

I see that in our future.

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

My boyfriend the prophet

 

Jonnie Boi:

I need an adult to stop this madness

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Don’t we all

 

Very Soft Boi:

I have given up

 

 

Lover Boi:

Anyway.

I tried making flyers.

I have found out that graphic design is not, in fact,

One of the things I am good at.

 

Jonnie Boi:

Everyone needs to hav a flaw

Even you

It’s okay we won’t hold it against you

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

I’m sure it can’t be that bad

 

Very Soft Boi:

Yeah it’s probably okay

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

It’s really not

Even with the eyes of love I cannot

Abide by it

 

 

Lover Boi:

And you shouldn’t.

I am aware how terrible it is.

Thank you for your honesty.

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

You’re welcome darling

 

Jonnie Boi:

That’s strangely adorable

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

So Cole isn’t our graphic designer

Noted

We should just bully Tim into doing it

Or something

 

Very Soft Boi:

He’s busy

Leave him alone

 

 Lover Boi’s Boi:

Damn Kon doesn’t play

 

Very Soft Boi:

He’s been pushing himself too much again

We have to resort to putting Hel in his arms

When he’s about to take a nap so

He’s forced to hold him the whole time and can’t do

Anything else for an hour or two

 

 

Lover Boi:

That’s very clever.

 

Jonnie Boi:

Using parenting as a relaxing method

Is pretty funny

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Fine, I won’t bully Tim… this week

 

Very Soft Boi:

I’ll do your flyers

I’m sure I can come up with something

 

 Lover Boi’s Boi:

The confidence is admirable

 

Lover Boi:

I can give you pointers.

The first one being don’t do anything I did.

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

You make it sound like

you’ve committed a war crime

 

Lover Boi:

That’s not too far off.

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

It was really bad

He was so upset at himself I had

To make HIM hot chocolate for once

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Aw Colie

It’s okay to fail

I can’t parallel park

It’s the cross I have to bear

 

Very Soft Boi:

That’s the last thing I would have thought

I’d hear from you Jason

 

 

 

Lover Boi:

Driving seem hard to be fair.

And parking too

 

Jonnie Boi:

We listen and we don’t judge

I can’t cook rice

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Ffs kid

Buy a rice cooker

 

 

Very Soft Boi:

It’s funny cause he says he can’t cook rice

But he means he can’t cook anything

 

Jonnie Boi:

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFE SPACE

WHY ARE YOU ALL BULLYING ME

 

 Lover Boi’s Boi:

I’ll show you how to cook rice Jonnie don’t worry

 

 

Lover Boi:

Kitten, people with more

Patience than you have already tried and fail.

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

You’re all mean except Thad

I promise I’ll be a good student

It’s not my fault things always go

Wrong for me when I’m behind a stove

 

 Lover Boi’s Boi:

How wrong are we talking?

You know what?

Don’t answer that

I’ve already said I’ll help

I don’t want to hear anything to

Make me regret it

 

 

Very Soft Boi:

Wise

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Thad in his older brother era

We love to see it

 

Lover Boi:

The good thing is

Once Jon has blown up our kitchen,

We will have no choice but to move.

 

Jonnie Boi:

See?

A win win

 

Lover Boi’s Boi:

I can’t tell if you’e joking or not

 

Very Soft Boi:

They’re not

At all

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Lmao

I was wondering why Damian had taken up

Cooking

Now I know it’s a matter of survival

 

Very Soft Boi:

Very much so

The worst thing that can happen with

Damian cooking is him messing up the dish

But he’s been improving a lot

so that happens less and less

 

Jonnie Boi:

True, he’s been making

Some very good stuff  😍​😍​

Damn now I’m not mad at him anymore

I’m hungry though

 

 Lover Boi’s Boi:

I’m still worried

Is our kitchen truly at risk of blowing up?

 

 

Lover Boi:

Not if you keep an eye on him

At every possible second

 

 

Jonnie Boi:

🙅​

Anyway, I’m gonna go reheat

Some chicken Alfredo

 

Very Soft Boi:

DON’T FORGET TO TAKE

AWAY THE FORK BEFORE PUTTING IT

IN THE MICROWAVE THIS TIME

 

 

Lover Boi:

Please remember forks don’t go

 In the microwave.

Oh, Kon beat me to it.

 

Jonnie Boi:

Seriously, that was one time

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

Damn even reheating stuff is dangerous for this kid?

 

Very Soft Boi:

He is a disaster

 

 Lover Boi’s Boi:

Lord have mercy

I’m gonna go buy a hazmat suit

 

 

Boi We Stole From The Robins:

You guys make my day every time I swear

Never change

 

Notes:

NOT THADCOLE FLIRTING ON MAIN LMAOOOOOOO
Also Jon went from cute kid to disaster young adult and I love that for him. spiritually I am him (except I can cook without blowing up the house).

Next Chapter: lmao I havent written it yet so it is subject to change will come back soon to update the note
