As Someone Who Struggles To Evaluate Pain Correctly This Pain Is So Helpful, But Also Don't Hesitate

As someone who struggles to evaluate pain correctly this pain is so helpful, but also don't hesitate to give details and a comparison along with your answer when you can! Because "really hurts but I can kinda speak so idk" didn't help, but "I need two people to get up and it hurts worse than that time I was bleeding out because of X" got me the help and pain relief I needed efficiently! Also don't hesitate to ask questions if you're unsure how to rate, like, "what number would a broken leg be" etc. Pain shouldn't be the standard

is it really true that the average person's pain level is a 0?

Batfam All For The Game AU can you imagine

Coach Wayne making the most fucked up team in the whole exy league

And then they get their shit together and randomly become the objective best at the job (on the first time too!)

The Renee /Cass parallel are incredible

Goalkeeper Cass and defensive dealer Steph, Steph is nicknamed "the wildcard" because she's so unpredictable nobody knows what she's gonna do next not even her and yet somehow the team gets it?!!! She and Cass have a special move where Steph shoots backwards directly into the goal to free the terrain and Cass sends it right back at her no matter where she runs

Striker Dick doing acrobatics over the backliners to avoid getting bodyslammed, and the kinetic force of the flips and deny in the law of physics adds impetus to the hit of the racket and gets him mid-air scoring shots

Offensive dealer Jason cause he's aggressively versatile (he used to train as a striker in the little league, then stuff happened and he was taught to become a backliner for a while, and then when he came to join the Gotham Bats he went through a whole crisis arc to reinvent himself at first it's such a disaster)

Striker Duke striker Duke striker Duke it just makes sense this kid happened on an exy scuffle randomly as a kid and this guy thrice his size was bullying someone and Duke jumped in and the bully bet Duke couldn't score a goal so Duke said bet and immediately scored like in the pilot episode of a least nine different sports anime, and that's when Duke decided he wanted to be an exy striker

Backliner Tim fucks so hard this guy is holding the line no matter what happens he doesn't need to be built like a fridge he has technique and strategy and a whole lotta confidence (I'm also just a sucker for stories where characters get in positions that you wouldn't assume work with their build but it actually works really well because of their skills/hard-work/grit/general aura)

Damian who thought he had to prove himself as a striker (he trained for striker since the little league) and then reinvented himself as a defensive dealer

Barbara was goalie and then after she became disabled decided to stay and monitors training and collects information on the enemy teams to design deadly strategies. In no post-win interview does the designated speaker forget to credit Barbara's strategy for their win, partially because it's very true and partially out of fear of offending her (very valid).

Professional Exy player Kate Kane agrees to help coach the kids (she's a backliner)

Bruce is retired but he was a goalie

Harper is a backliner (and Cullen a cheerleader!!)

Luke Fox is a backliner

(also unlike in Aftg, while Bruce does find out one of the kids is his blood son he adopts all of them. Equal opportunity hoarder.)

go!

And we finish the low quality Classic Transformation Constellation of the Robin round-up with Damian, the Boy himself! He's about to Wonder his enemies something good

His Robin transformation also has black because of the influence of the Bat in his blood since he, like Duke, is the son of a Star and has some of the powers of said Star in his blood without needing a crystal for it.

Abilities:

Flight

Enhanced athletics

Enhanced healing

Colour Swirl: that charging light he looks about to spear you with is a colourful wave that bludgeons through enemies like a brick rain (tim can confirm)

Son of the Bat: this ability takes its roots both in the pre-existing parental link between the Constellations of the Bat and the Robin, and the parental relationship between most holders of the Robin and one of the holders of the Bat, as well as Damian's powerful drive to prove himself as Batman's son. When Robin is in the vicinity of a Bat, all of his abilities, physical and magical, are enhanced (up to 3 times more powerful) though that may be altered depending on his relationship with the current holder of the Bat.

I was having feelings about Victor Hugo's poem "Demain dès l'aube" (Tomorrow at Dawn) about his grief following the death of his daughter and Bruce losing Jason and I wanted to make a little comic with the text, but I'm scared to draw Bruce and can't seem to get the angel statue right, so here's a spotty translation of the poem so that you, too, can feel sad about it. Choices and sacrifices were made to keep the rythm and most significant parts, things got lost in translation that I couldn't salvage, but I still hope it helps sharing a little of its beauty.

Tomorrow as the land pales in the light of dawn,

I will leave for you see, I know that you await

I will go through the woods, and through the mountains high

I can no longer stay so far away from you.

I will walk with my eyes boring in thoughts my own

Unseeing any sight, unhearing any noise

Lone, and unknown, with a bent back and folded hands

Sad, and the day to me will be such as the night.

I will not gaze upon this dusk a golden fume

Nor the shade of the ships sailing to the harbour,

And then, as I arrive, I will lay on your tomb

A bouquet of holly and blossoming heather.

Victor Hugo, from the Poetry Collection «Les Contemplations» Book 4, Pauca Meae (1856)

This isn't even the poem I've read that fits them best, far from it, but I keep picturing Bruce walking from the cave (leaving the Robin suit) through Crime Alley to the cemetery and being sad about it and now you get to be sad too.

There we have her, Robin Steph, the indomitable human spirit all dressed up in traffic light colours!

Powers include:

-Flight

-Enhanced athletics

-Enhanced healing

-Colour Swirl: releases a concussive hailstorm from the staff in the form of a bright colour shower

-Red Herring: produces an afterimage of Steph who attacks unsynchronized. Good luck predicting her moves when you don't even know which one is real. Which one of them is the real one? The one about to attack you with a beam of light -or, apparently, beat you up with the magic staff? Or the one coming down on you from the ceiling with a mysteriously acquired steel chair? Who knows, certainly not Cluemaster that's for sure.
