So, I’ve been reading quite a few TCF reaction fics lately and something I’ve noticed about all of these tics is that they all say Cale managed to take the war against the white star from 20 to 2 years and you know what? They’re wrong.

Cale had 2 years to prepare for the war with the north and as he’s running around he finds out a bit about arm and what they’re doing but not their purpose. This man finds out about the crazy stuff the white radish and the sealed b*tch have been doing only after the war with the northern alliance happens. You know how long it takes him to deal with all that?

A YEAR! One mother f*ck*ng year! Raon isn’t even 7 yet! This man Thales 20 years of war and terror and pain and suffering and deals with the problem in one f*ck*ng year. Sure he collected most of his allies and strengths in those first 2 years but Cale was still pretty much working blind when it came to the white radish and his plots.

People, you think 2 years is impressive? This man really did most of it in one and our beloved fool was in an entirely different dimension for 3 months of that year. Cale is legitimately terrifying and these fics are not giving him enough credit.

Say no to this, Bruce.

A few days ago Bruce had a fight with his sons, now he doesn't even remember why, it was probably something stupid that escalated and he didn't know how to stop it, it was probably his fault.

He was alone at the mansion, Damian was at Dick's house, Jason was ignoring him more than usual and Tim was on a case where he didn't want help, not from him at least, even Duke was away, it wasn't a good week for Bruce.

He grabbed a phone he had hidden and only took out before going to sleep alone in his room, hesitated for a few seconds and sent a message to the only number added.

His "thing" with the boy, Danny Fenton, had started four years ago, the boy was lost and Bruce found him when he coincidentally went for a walk as a civilian.

Danny was so charmed by Bruce (for some reason) that he gave him his hotel room number to keep talking about the universe, and later his home number.

Danny was a good, funny and witty kid, a very smart too, with parents who didn't deserve him because they didn't notice their son's brilliance.

Danny was a good boy with a not-so-good life, a strong, independent boy who wasn't always positive but didn't always let himself fall apart.

That's why when Danny answered his message with a call with him crying and asking for help, he could only go to his rescue without looking back, barely remembering to tell Alfred of his departure.

When he arrived he found only tragedy.

His family and friends had died, an explosion at an unfortunate time, Danny had no one in the world besides his godfather and Bruce, and he didn't want to fall into Vlad's clutches, so he was desperate.

He also told him about Phantom, and Bruce could only hug him and promise him that no one was going to find him.

The first thing that came to his mind was to take him to his mansion, Danny was like his son, it was the most logical action... except that Danny still looked up to him and trusted him a lot, and wasn't that a scary thought?

Bringing Danny to the mansion would involve many things, Danny would meet his children, which might make Danny see him differently, goodbye to his admiration and affection, goodbye to spending time "together" watching bad movies to criticize them, goodbye to quiet conversations and asking for advice, goodbye to trust.

Bringing Danny to the mansion would mean having him physically close but keeping him away in every other possible way.

"Danny doesn't want anyone else to know about Phantom." Bruce repeated to himself as he took Danny to a small, hidden apartment in Gotham, a cozy little place where Vlad wouldn't find Danny (and neither would Bruce's family).

An AU where Bruce is a Meta, but his power lets him see a persons potential for becoming a villain. So no, this man is not just collecting children he is collecting children with the highest potential of burning the world to the ground successfully. He never tells anyone this, and while he can’t always curb there more…feral intentions, his kids respect him enough to not break most of his bigs rules.

It is a miracle among miracles that when Bruce got lost in the time stream the only one who really went off the rails was Tim. When Bruce returns he sits down with Tim and asks about his six months. What happened. I want to know what all you did to rescue me because you are my son and I love you but you shouldn’t have had to suffer alone.

Reluctantly Tim admits to teaming up with the LoA but also that he systematically demolished it from the inside out and garnered enough unintentional support due to his own normal charisma that half the remaining assassins jumped ship and settled under his leadership. He doesn’t really have plans for them outside of establishing a more thorough global information network.

Tim uses the empty shell of Drake industries to create a support network for the ninja’s under his care. He doesn’t know what they were paid before but if they’re working for Tim he’s giving them benifits and a paycheck. It helps that everyone thinks Drake Industries went under. What doesn’t help is that during his cataloging of company assets after his parents pass he learns his parents found a heaping chunk of kryptonite and now Luthor is trying to buy the company.

Dick is the one who actually does something about it after Lex sent one too many assassins after his little brother. He doesn’t kill Lex, but he and Barbra team up cause so much chaos to his company that he can’t focus on little Timmy at all or else he’ll fall to chaos. Yes some labs were blown up (Dicks work and probably some family bonding time with Damian or Jason). Barbra leaks all of their secrets to the web. It’s a PR nightmare.

Duke low key kinda ran a cult, which is a concern of its own, and Bruce is trying to make sure Duke and his totally not cult buddies have healthy normal teenager outlets to do stuff.

Steph while not officially part of the family is still on the radar because she spiked Bruces meter and also her dads a rogue. Like obviously Steph hates her dad but Bruce isn’t gonna let her stick around on the off chance Cluemaster see’s Steph as an asset and uses some chemical to make her comply. If Steph falls, Tim will probably fall and if Tim falls the dick will likely follow, and if Dick falls Damian will be right by his side.

Jason’s meter chilled out somehow when he came back, despite how angry he was when he came back, but there was still a healthy risk. So Bruce let’s him keep free reign of crime alley and makes him switch to rubber bullets and provides the support he can.

Damian was probably the lowest on the scale. At his core he’s a Soldier. Skilled yes, but he follows orders. He’s prideful, yes, but once given the opportunity to be a kid (and an outlet for the training he was raised with) that meter kinda just mellows out. Not to say Damian wasn’t pinging Bruces Radar, he just wasn’t pinging it as much as Dick and Tim always do.

I don’t know what to do with it now… all the love I have for you, I don’t know where to put it.

I was giving it to you thinking you noticed and wanted it…. But after tonight, it’s like someone snapped me out of the dream I was in.

You don’t want it and I don’t know where to put it.

Why don’t you want it? It’s yours…. It can’t be anyone else’s …..

Why don’t you want me?
