Vlad (presumably) Leading To Maddies Death , Or At The Very Least That Maddie Would Rather Die Fighting

Vlad (presumably) leading to Maddies death , or at the very least that Maddie would rather die fighting than have Vlad do X thing has GOT to have fucked with him

DPxDC Prompt - A little something from the Grimdark 80's.

Batman looked over the edge of the building before dropping down cape out to slow his fall. He hit the lower roof and rolled... this used to be easier... to standing and then dropped to a crouch. The mutants were watching the street just below him looking for another victim.

He dropped again, without the cape, landing heavy on the first before snapping his fist out and punching the second, breaking the guys right orbit and nose with a sickening crack. "Hmm, you gonna swing that pipe?" to the mutant behind him, as he turned to face him, "or just stand there and piss yourself?"

The pipe clattered to the pavement as the mutant ran. "Smart,"

Robin stepped out from the shadows down the alley clotheslining the mutant knocking him to the pavement. "Not smart enough."

He gave a heaving sigh, "I forgot how strenuous this was" he thinks to himself. He cuffs the mutants and leaves them in the middle of the sidewalk. "Robin, call to GCPD get them here to deal with this trash.

She nodded, "You got it, Boss," and rang the cops letting them know where to pick the mutants up. The old man hadn't slowed down much, even at 55, and Carrie knew it was going to be a long night of busting mutant heads.

Danny was busy. Way fewer ghosts, but loads more gangs and other criminals as the US pretty much eroded into a hellscape. And the deals the vigilantes had to take didn't help. But his little corner of a corner in this hellscape that was Amity Park was at least mostly safe.

But heavy is the head and all that.

And it looked like Bruce was out of retirement if everything on the idiot box was correct. That wasn't going to go over well. Today he was dealing with his old friend Constantine; still looking 32 years old even after all these years, "Nice to see you still kicking, Johnny."

"Oh, Danny Boy! The pipes the pipes are calling," Constantine sang as he walked into the kitchen at Fentonworks with a bottle of his favorite Glen Elgin. "How's about a drink? I think it's gonna be a long talk, and I always talk better over a drink."

Danny nods with a smile, "You style yourself the king of whiskey, and there's no denying you've always got the good stuff." He waves over to a pair of glasses on the sideboard. "Pour, and have a seat. Better make it 3 Sam should be here in a few minutes, and she'd hate to be left out."

"Righto, Danny Boy!" As he pours a hefty 3 fingers in each glass, neat. "So here's what I've heard down the vine, beyond Bats coming out of retirement. Those Mutants? Their leader isn't just a big muscle man pissed off at the world. Word has it from a couple of good sources that it's Vlad back again, possessing him for... well I haven't quite figured that out yet. Figured you'd want to know and want to help."

"Yeah, we want to know," Sam said from the door. "You better pour another Tucker is behind me with the kid." She smiled, "You know little Maddie and her Uncle King Tuck," she chuckles and grabs a fourth glass as Tucker and the 14 year old girl walked in to everyone looking right at them.

Tucker looked at Johnny, Danny, and Sam and nodded. "Gonna be one of those kinds of talks, isn't it?" to everyone in the room. They nod. Then to little Maddie with a smile, "better skidaddle, short stop, I know you got homework."

Danny nods once Maddie had left the kitchen, "Vlad's back. And he's possessed the leader of the Mutants. Not good for Bruce, not good for anyone really."

Constantine picks up the conversation, "We're not sure what he's up to, but with the league dismantled there's really no one to take this on but us. So suit up you three, we're going to Gotham."

Danny sighed, guess he was going to Gotham. Maybe he should call Fright Knight. Na. That'd just be a mess.

Bruce is 55. This is The Dark Knight Returns timeline. Seriously go read it. Bruce is vicious at this point, and the comic is by Frank Miller. So you get the idea. He could kill Superman, legit straight up with a kryptonite arrow shot by a one armed Ollie Queen.

Robin is Caroline Kelly; she saved Batman in his first fight with the Mutant leader and earned her place as Robin. Athletic and smart, she is an excellent Robin.

Danny & Sam are 29, married, and have a daughter Maddie named after her loving Grandma who passed defending Danny in a fight against Vlad 10 years ago, after a good reveal 15 years ago. Jack is alive, a doting grandpa, and mad inventor for Sam's artillery as she helps Danny fight crime etc. Jack spends a lot of time in the Zone hanging out with Maddie's ghost when he's not helping his son and family.

Danny is King, but leaves the daily running of his realm to Maddie and Clockwork. He's king, that's what stewards are for. 15 years of heroing have done Danny's physique a world of good, not to mention those Jack Fenton metagenes. He's grown and matured, but still has that mischievous streak in his glowing green eyes.

Sam is a little bit like Poison Ivy with a minor connection to The Green. She only has a limited control over plants, but what she can do has she has honed to fighting perfection. Usually it's vines and thorns for attack, wooden barriers as defense. Nothing as elaborate as Pamela or Swamp Thing can pull off, but handy in a fight.

Uncle Tucker is their guy in the chair. Decked out in an armored and armed Specter Speeder with all the communication goodies he and Jack can think of. If things go sideways he can also tap into his past life as Pharoah, and step up for a fight.

No Dick. No Jason. No Tim. No Damian. Dick is not mentioned in DKR it's assumed he took the vigilante deal and fucked off somewhere or id dead, and it was written before Jason, Tim, or Damian were even a thought.

I even tagged this one.

Have a good one.

ive been doing stuff

why does nobody talk about holding while shopping?

especially with a partner! especially at malls! malls would be the best!

characters not being able to squirm or they’ll attract attention and embarrass themselves

characters having to stand and wait in lines for long periods of time while trying not to fidget and squirm

characters not being able to hold themselves because they’re carrying too many bags

having to stop while walking to cross their legs, just getting ushered along by their partner so they don’t make a scene

characters dropping one of their bags and having to agonizingly either bend over or squat down to recollect their items

characters trying to act normal while talking to cashiers, trying to stand perfectly still and talk casual while absolutely BURSTING

characters finally realizing they aren’t going to make it but desperately looking for somewhere private to hide, but the mall is just absolutely packed

a character’s partner saying they can pee, but only in a cup from the food court

a character’s partner making them drink the entire drink first to empty the cup (and of course the cup has to be large, how else will it hold everything?)

character absolutely BURSTING as they walk with the weight of the full cup in their bladder, their partner withholding the cup until they can find somewhere private

character is barely holding on, starting to leak, absolutely bursting, just trying to find some privacy, bladder rock hard

finally making it back to the car but not being able to sit in the car without putting pressure on their bladder and completely losing control

having to pee in the cup in the parking lot, only hidden by the car door, and of course, the cup isn’t big enough, so it ends up overflowing onto the ground and their pants, but they can’t be bothered to care at this point

i kind of went off on a tangent with the cup here but i really love the idea of that scenario-

Oh just a little vacation activity.... 🤣🤐😊

Saw the ask about the HC for a justice league origin and my favorite to play with has always been one where Superman and Batman meet and over five years get incredibly invested in each other's schticks, a year or so after they meet they end up working with Diana for something maybe world ending but quiet and years down the line when the Justice League is formed they're all incredibly in this weird limbo position. They're used to working together, but they're also used to defending Batmans position as a cryptid with their lives. That is not a habit that dies easily.

Everyone knows Diana and Kal formed the league, but they routinely reference a third member (who apparently did most of the "research" ie stalking on who would or wouldn't be admitted or considered for the league). They don't give a name. They don't give any kind of acknowledgement of who or even where this person might be stationed. When outright questioned about it both of them answer with some variation of "Who?" The league is convinced it's some hacker or just a civilian the two know. Maybe even a government person?

Up until the point that Bruce is actually forced to start working part time and most of the newer league members can't stand him. He gives orders and just *expects* to be listened to???

But Bruce has been the guiding hand behind almost all league strategy for at least five years now. Clark and Diana go to him for advice when they're uncertain on the course of action. He's the one making the training plans and the monitor schedules and the one who sorts through all of the requests or complaints Leaguers file. (A good half of which recently are about the fact that there wasn't a vote on Batmans sudden admittance into the league)

It takes some massive alien invasion and an almost complete wipe out before Clark forgets to switch to a private comm when someone manages a direct hit and asks Bruce if that's why he picked that guy for the league, cause he definitely wasn't on Clark or Diana's radar.

Cue the slow dawning horror as they realize that there wasn't a vote on Batmans admittance to the league because he's been a member from day one.

(the funding can be revealed later, better not to break all their brains at once)

Sorry that got long, this is an AU I've wanted to write for ages but tragically will never do justice to

Oh my goodness, the way I would read the shit out of this idea! I hope you write it someday! It’s such a delicious flavor of identity porn isn’t it??
