How can anyone say no to that??
Reblog this picture of me holding a Family Size box of Honey Nut Cheerios? I’d really appreciate it.
I think it would be funny if the speedsters claimed Duke as their own. Barry hears "light manipulation powers" and is like "Oh! So he's one of mine then :) thanks for looking after him Bruce, but I've got it from here :)"
Bruce is like no, you don't have it actually, he's just a meta, not a speedster, hey, give him BACK-
Meanwhile Duke is having the time of his life because speedsters are so much less intense??? And actually talk to each other most of the time? And AREN'T nocturnal (thank God)??? Duke's still a Gotham vigilante, sure, but he can get used to living in a city that isn't cursed. And help with his photokinesis because, as it turns out, it's very similar to some speedster traits. He appreciates Bruce’s help with everything non-powered, but it just feels nice to have this part of him actively cultivated by people who get it.
Like, sure, sometimes Bart can't bear to wear anything that covers his neck and talks at superspeed about unimaginable horrors of the future he came from with tears streaming down his face and a pained smile. Sure, some days Wally doesn't stop moving, dipping in and out of the Speed Force, because he says feels like if he stops, he'll fade away. Sure, every now and then, Barry can't bring himself to run because he fears that his speed will overwhelm him if he does.
Duke isn't perturbed. Just because it's a different flavor of trauma than the one he's used to doesn't mean he'll forget the basics. Speedsters talk a lot, eat a lot, and smile even more, but he can deal. Iris is amazing and kind and brave and warm and yeah, he cries a bit when she asks him what he's wearing for the family photo.
Duke shuffles nervously, "You know, you don't need to be so...nice to me. I get it if you don't want the kid your husband, nephew, and grandson took on as a joke."
Iris looks at him, smile utterly fond and tinged with mild confusion, "Duke, I'm not doing this because they like you- or, rather, it does play a part in it. But you're an amazing, kind, brave young man, and we're honored that you chose to stay."
"...oh," Duke's eyes are watering a bit. It's probably allergies—he didn't have any in Gotham, but he isn't used to fresh air yet. Not emotions. Nope. Not him.
"Yeah, oh," Iris says, giving him an amused glance, "now, the picture isn't going on the Christmas card because we aren't that white, but it'll be up on the mantle, if you don't mind."
Gotham's underworld whispers, it asks, "what did the Bat do to turn away his newest Bird?"
Gotham's upper class mutter with false sympathy, "did Brucie manage to turn away another one of his children? It really is a pattern with him, poor boy."
Dick's happy Duke is finally branching out to other heroes and not staying in the little Gotham-bubble. Tim reassures Bruce that it's just Duke growing up, and that he'll come home eventually like they all did.
Maybe it's because Tim and Dick both trust their speedsters with not only their lives, but their family's own as well, but they're unbothered by Duke choosing the Flash as his favorite hero.
Damian hates being the only kid constantly in the house again, so he overcompensates by loudly going to the Kents whenever he can.
Duke didn't even abandon them; he still lives in the Manor and goes to school in Gotham. He just spends most weekends and a night or two during the week in Central. He assumes nobody cares because nobody complains to him until one night at dinner when he mentions that Wally wants to take him for a week-long trip at the start of summer break, and Damian slams down his fork.
"You aren't going," Damian seethes.
Duke raises an eyebrow, looking to Bruce. Bruce looks pained. "You've been spending a lot of time with the Allens lately, Duke."
"Yeah, 'cause they're cool."
"Oh, so we're too incompetent for you, Thomas?" Damian snaps accusingly.
"Woah, woah, woah, I never said-"
Tim groans, having being bribed to attend Sunday dinner, "can we not do this now? I promised I'd help Kon with something before patrol."
"I agree," Dick cuts in, "just let Duke go-"
"HE'S NOT GOING!"
"Old man, just let the kid go," Jason sighs wearily, eyeing Damian, "it's just a week. I'm sure you'd enjoy the peace and quiet 'round here."
Duke throws his hands up in the air, "thank you!"
"Been a lot of that lately," Cass mutters, poking at her food. So she's not all that excited another one of her little brothers is growing up. Can you blame her?
"Oh my God," Steph says, realization dawning with a near-wicked grin, "are you guys jealous?"
"I am not so juvenile as to-"
"Jealousy is a strong word-"
"Yes," Cass says.
Duke finds it absolutely hilarious that they're jealous of what is essentially just hanging out at a friend's place and with his family.
"They could've just told me," Duke rants, incredulous.
"They're Bats," Wally wiggles his fingers in a vague motion, "not communicating is their thing."
"Not me this time," Dick says cheerily, "take care of my little brother, West."
"Or we'll break both your legs," Tim adds.
Barry mock-salutes, "yessir."
Here is why I’m a cherik fan
I had a crappy day/week where I felt tired and like I’m not doing well and am stupid and am fucking things up and I just pictured Charles saying to me
AND I COULD JUST ABOUT BAWL MY BRAINS OUT
Everyone needs someone to tell them that and love them like that. Erik especially so.
Billy & Teddy: A Love Story
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone, today is a day about love and that’s why I want to share the story of this two heroes in love. Enjoy! (This could be long)
They met when they were like fifteen or sixteen and they fell crazy in love with each other.
They starting to be superheroes.
Their parents found out (kind of..)
But not everything was good, sometimes life is just cruel.
But you keep going.
There’s also been awkward moments (c’mon they newly (kind of) boyfriends)
Moments of caring
Some flirting.
Some Lover letters.
A proposal.
And a (perfect) kiss.
And yeah, even if it hurts, a break up.
But, love unite. (And apparently can also save the universe or multiuniverse)
And their story continue.
They grown up (more), keep being superheroes (with a new team) and not even some evil future can’t torn them apart.
And with all the grown up thing came the changes, like a place for both of them (finally)
Because their future=happy+married+and+family (and Sorcerer Supreme)
But life goes and goes and the time flies, but true love never dies (just get older)
A life together… with your best friend, your partner, your lover.
A life with all the good and bad.
A love story that still has a lot to tell and show.
Again, Happy Valentine’s Day!
