I loved reading these headcanons, just so adorable and just aww.

Hello can i get headcanons for damian al ghul and garfield? How do they react to a reader who has the same ice powers as Frozen Elsa?

Damian Wayne and Garfield Logan x reader with Ice Powers

Damian Wayne x reader or Damian Wayne/reader

Garfield Logan x reader or Beastboy Wayne x reader

Word count: 3829 words

TW: GN reader, adult Damian Wayne (inspired and mostly based off of Damian in Batman beyond & Injustice 2: Gods among us), adult Garfield Logan, angst (kinda), fluff, Damian might be a TW of his own at this point...

Damian:

I imagine that you two met back in the Teen Titans, right when Damian just entered. Back then you were just kids and Damian was a well-known prick. You barely conversed for the first long while, the stories you heard from both Rachel (Raven) and Jaime (Blue beetle) made you nervous to be in the same room as the green-eyed Robin.

Damian was known for being wary of humans with powers above the natural, he had learned to not trust metahumans from his father, who had a well-known distaste for them. So, you considered it best to keep your distance from him lest he lashed out at you.

 Damian doesn’t notice or care much for you either in the beginning, but he does want to be a good superhero. To achieve that goal he has to at least know and, preferably, be able to work with all of his teammates, you included.

However, as Damian tries to approach you, he realises that his reputation precedes him. You leave the room as soon as he arrives, and any time he catches you alone, you’re quick to drag in Jaime or Koriand’r as a barrier between you two.

Damian doesn’t understand why you’re so adamant about not conversing with him and he gets angry at you for being unprofessional. He tries to look at your files through a copy of Koriand’r’s hard drive, (which he made as soon as he joined the Teen Titans), and he finds very little about you. You’re a meta human with ice abilities, nothing special there, your past is a bit murky, but ultimately nothing too out of the ordinary. He finds nothing that would pit the two of you as natural enemies. What is it that you dislike so much about him?

Damian doesn’t realise that his predisposition to be cautious of Meta humans and his aggressive personality has effectively scared you off.

It might take a few years of him slowly chipping away at your defences for the two of you to actually have a proper conversation, and when you finally do, I can imagine that it is after a harsh mission. 

Perhaps the mission was one of those where everyone’s lives hung by a thin thread, where one wrong move could mean the difference between life and death. You and Robin were the only ones with a chance of fighting back, the others were either held down or in such bad states that their survival afterwards wasn’t even guaranteed. You ran in with your ice powers, making slides, platforms and other useful props for Robin to use.

The two of you discover how well you actually work together. It’s not something anyone would have predicted, Damian’s aggressive attacks with his katana and your snow-themed meta abilities don’t seem like the perfect matchup. Like ketchup and ice cream, good individually but not together. Well, you were! You were a dream team, with you creating protective ice shields for Damian as he took the role of the more confrontational attacker, and together you managed to defeat the enemy which had taken down the entire rest of the team.

For the first time since getting to know each other, you both let down your guards. Damian practically runs to you after the fight, filled with so much adrenaline that he can barely contain himself as he wraps you up in a tight bone-crushing hug. You reciprocate it, so out of it and ecstatic you’ve saved your friends/second family that you don’t even remember why you were ever so apprehensive of Damian.

After the fight, the two of you slowly start to hang out around the Teen Titans tower, with and without the others. You gain a tradition of getting ice cream together every Saturday in one of the nearby parlours. Sometimes, Rachel and Jaime join you. When they do, you guys usually all go to your favourite restaurants and just relax, the four of you might be the least chaotic of the group
 Although, but that's not saying a whole lot. However, it still creates an atmosphere of calmness, which ou all appreciate.

You would probably consider Damian your best friend after a while, and he feels the same way. You ironically end up becoming the person he trusts the very most on the team. Whenever there’s trouble, you two instinctively group together to solve it.

On a dark summer night, you and Damian open up to each other about your past. You pity his harsh upbringing and he makes you promise to never stop being his friend, you do, and he returns the promise. It feels nice to have someone who you can rely on, especially in a world so ever-changing as the vigilante circles.  

One day, on a holiday trip back to Gotham, Damian gets into a fight with his father. It’s over something stupid, but Bruce makes a big deal out of it since it’s his youngest son. Damian becomes so enraged that he rips off the Robin logo from his costume, throwing it in Bruce’s face, before vowing to return to his mother. His father doesn’t stop him, Dick tries to convince him to stay, but Damian is too filled with wrath to think clearly. He packs his stuff, takes Titus and leaves the Wayne manor full of negative emotions.

It isn’t until he has walked around half of Gotham, waiting for his mother, whom he knows is already aware of the fight, (the assassin she sent to spy on him wasn’t discreet enough to escape Damian’s peripheral gaze), that he realises he has no way to get back to the team after this. 

He calls you on a whim, he may not be able to bring the entire Teen Titans team, but maybe he’ll be able to bring you. 

You pick up his call immediately and Damian is relieved, even if you’re about to refuse the offer he’ll give, at least he gets to hear your voice one last time. The offer is, of course, to join him at the League of Assassins. He covers up the real reason behind his proposition with a bunch of excuses like, “Oh, the League could really use someone with Ice powers, it’s unbearably hot in Eth Alth'eban!” or “Yeah, you’re a great fighter and with your ice meta-ability, you could be a great asset to the league”.

Damian’s excuses are a waste of time, however. As soon as you hear Damian explain why he’s leaving, you’re on board. The Titans were getting a little boring anyway.

So, both of you leave for Eth Alth'eban. Talia is initially not too keen on Damian having brought his friend. She’s all too ready to throw you back to the Teen Titans. That is until Damian explains your ice powers to her. Then she relents, she’s still not appreciative of you, but she’ll let you stay, for her son’s sake.

You start to work for the League and Damian changes from Damian Wayne to Damian Al Ghul. It’s stressful for you in the beginning, it’s a new country, a new side of the fight and you’re so far removed from your friends at Teen Titans. You never regret your decision to join Damian, but sometimes you miss what once was. On top of that, you also come to realise that your ice powers have been weakened by the new climate, it takes you quite a while until you learn how to adapt. Once you do, though, you come to realise just how strong your powers have always been.

You and Damian don’t start to become anything romantic until you’ve both turned eighteen. At this point, Damian has become the new Demon’s head, and you’re right at his side
 His right-hand man/woman/person.

It starts off as small romantic and cute gestures, which makes both of you feel butterflies eating your stomachs from the inside out. Damian picking a flower and tucking it behind your ear on a mission. You do all his paperwork for him one evening and tell him with a sticky note that you’ve drawn a heart. Him baking you Baklava on your birthday. They’re small gestures, but they’re invaluable to both of you. 

If any of the assassins or Talia gives you a hard time because of your powers, Damian will immediately back you up, verbally assault them and, (if they don’t back down), fight them on the spot. He doesn’t let anyone speak ill of you. If anyone ever voices discontent over your presence, Damian will take it as a personal insult.

When your romantic escapades have gone on for a while, Damian will start gifting you expensive gifts, (even if you don’t want them), it’s the Al Ghul way. 

Once Damian feels he has buttered you up well enough with gifts galore and all the sweet romantic gestures he can think of, he will finally ask you out. He doesn’t bother with dates and all that, you’ve known each other for years. For Damian, dates are for getting to know people, but you two already know each other in and out, so logically he’d skip that step, they’d just be a waste of time. 

Luckily for Damian, you like him too, so much so that you’re willing to skip all the steps one would usually take before calling someone their significant other.

It doesn’t take more than a year or two before Damian proposes to you. He’s afraid that you might regret a marriage with him, though, and he voices these concerns before letting you give him an answer. He looks a little pathetic as he sits on one knee on the sandy floors of the League’s barracks, ring in hand and listing all the reasons why it would be totally okay if you said no, but also attempting to convince you that he’ll do everything to not make that happen
 You don’t doubt his words, you know Damian well enough to know that he’d never intentionally hurt you.

Your time spent engaged is short. Talia is horrified, at first, when she learns that you will be the one to carry the title of the Demon’s spouse, but she lets up once she starts to outweigh the pros and cons of other possible marriage candidates for her son. She will never think that you’re entirely good enough for her son, but given your strong meta-abilities, she’ll relent and even admit to you that you’re probably the best choice for her son. Don’t take her apprehension personally, it wouldn’t have mattered who you are, she simply doesn’t think anyone could ever be nearly good enough for her only son.

When you and Damian get married, you might invite your entire team to the wedding. I mean, just for one day you can bury the axe and forget that you and Damian are technically their enemies now, on what you once would’ve considered the bad side.

So, in conclusion. Damian and you would have a rocky start as a result of your powers, but you would slowly become inseparable. After your marriage, Damian would never be able to even consider a life without you.

Garfield Logan/Beast Boy:

I imagine that the two of you met while in Doom Patrol. Garfield had just lost his real parents and gotten adopted by Rita Farr (Elasti-girl) and Steve Dayton (Mento). He was in a rough place and with his meta-abilities growing at a fast pace, he was in desperate need of a friend his age. Well, you were the only one on Doom Patrol that wasn’t already an adult.

I can imagine that you had been picked up by the chief (the co-leader and advisor of the Doom Patrol) at an incredibly young age after you froze one of your family members to the point of near death. It was all an accident, of course. But your parent(s) realised that they couldn’t have you any longer after that. You were too powerful for them to handle.

You had been on Doom Patrol for a while when Garfield came along and you received him with open arms, happy to finally have someone your age to fight alongside. You two become fast friends, his chatty nature is hard to not be charmed by and he absolutely adored your personality. You helped him forget the tragedy that tore his birth parents from him, even if only for a moment and he is profoundly grateful for that.

When Mento goes insane as a result of prolonged exposure to his power helmet, joining the side of evil. Beast Boy is quick to pack his stuff, grab you and join the Teen Titans.

The breakdown of his adoptive father’s mental health is yet another blow to Garfield. First, both of his real parents died and now his adoptive father is insane and ready to kill him at any given moment. Still, in true Beast Boy fashion, he refuses to let anyone see him hurting, instead covering it up with an even more jovial attitude.

Sometimes though, late at night, he’ll knock on the door to your room. When you answer and let him in, closing the door behind you, he’ll break down and cry into your shoulder for hours. He feels like you and his adoptive mother are the only two people he has left. That is one of the reasons why he treasures you deeply. 

While on the Teen Titans, your ice-wielding abilities develop massively. Starfire is your natural sparring partner, after all, she can shoot out flames, powered by the sun itself. You’ll develop a great friendship with Koriand’r, which Garfield won’t admit that he’s a little jealous of. But he quickly gets over himself when he realises that what you and he have is unlike anything you could ever gain with the other Titans. 

You two know each other so well that you always order for each other in restaurants, with Garfield always throwing in a quick jab at whatever food you like. Still, he’ll both order and pay for you. As a matter of fact, I can see the two of you just sharing whatever money Rita sends Garfield and Chief sends you. The closest thing to a shared bank account for teens. 

Since Garfield’s adoptive mother, Rita, was an actress back before she joined Doom Patrol, the green boy has actually picked up on her skills pretty well, being a rather good actor himself. He’ll act out the scenes of your favourite movies, expecting you to recreate some of the props in ice so that he can truly reenact the scene. The other Titans find him a little odd for doing so, but you find it delightful, that’s just how Garfield is and you’ve always enjoyed his company.

Sometimes, Garfield might ask you to make an ice rink outside, in front of the Titans tower, especially around winter time. Then, he’ll tentatively drag you out on the ice. If you can’t ice skate, he’ll teach you patiently. If you do know how, he’ll start to race you from one side to another, for hours.

The thing about Garfield is that he has endless energy, especially back when you’re both still teens. He’s used to people finding it off-putting. However, you’ve grown up with him, and you can’t imagine a world where he’s any different. Garfield is so grateful that he can simply be himself around you without worrying about scaring you away. It's one of the things that bring you guys so close together. The fact that you’re both meta-humans just adds to this sense of comfort and solidarity he feels around you as well. The other Titans sometimes envy your relationship, the way you two always have each others’ back and the way that you will sometimes just make eye contact and, as if one of you told a silent joke, burst into loud laughter that breaks up any tension that might’ve been previously.

If you have any favourite animals, he’ll constantly turn into them, just to see you smile. There’s nothing he loves more than to make his best friends, you and cyborg, laugh and smile. It makes him feel accomplished... like he isn’t totally useless or a bad omen. On rainy days he loves to turn into a soft cat, a cute rabbit or any other fluffy animal, and then curl up on your lap, relaxing as the sound of rain pelts the many windows of the Titans Tower.

As you two grow up and become adults, Garfield slowly starts to feel magnetised by you. You’re not the first one he felt like this with, there was Terra and other brief crushes, but this one is the most intense he has had yet.  

Still, he is afraid of your reaction. What if you don’t like him like that? What if you go back to Doom Patrol just to get away from the awkwardness that would arrive if you don’t reciprocate his feelings? No! Garfield can’t risk losing you! You mean too much to him, you’re the only one who understands everything he feels! Losing you would be to lose his other half! 
 There’s also the slight fear that you might shoot icicles after him if he manages to offend you with his confession
 He believes that if anyone would be able to do that, it would be him.

To cover up for his passionate crush on you, he’ll start acting goofier, and you’ll be none the wiser, (as explained before, he’s a great actor). He’ll also start to take up weirdly domestic habits like cooking for you, cleaning up both of your rooms and 
 sewing your suit back together after a fight? How in the world he learned that, you have no idea. It is these habits which tune you into the fact that something is off with him. You at first believe it to be a sort of coping mechanism. In reality, though, he’s trying to prove to you that he’d be a good boyfriend.

If you confront him about it, he might crack a little and admit that he simply likes you a lot and wants to help you in any way he can. I imagine that this is when you slowly start to see your old friend in a different light
 Was he always that adorable? That good-looking? You never really noticed before.

Garfield will definitely be the one confessing his feelings first. It’ll be during the wind-down period after a particularly harsh mission. You and Beast Boy will be relaxing in your room, both playing video games. When you manage to beat Garfield, he pretends to accuse you of cheating. Even though you both know it’s just for fun, you still shoot a weak ice ray at his feet, in retaliation, causing him to stumble to the ground, dragging you down with him. 

You’ll end up colliding with his chest and Garfield will have turned into a big and squishy animal to soften your fall, perhaps a brown bear? 
 Well, a green bear. When he turns back into himself, you both realise how close your faces are. When you don’t pull away, Garfield will confess on accident. Something like him whispering “You’re so beautiful, you know?” Of course, you’ll end up a blushing mess with the way he simply doubles down and keeps complimenting you. You have no flaws in Garfield’s eyes, you were simply created to be the perfect example of a person.

At the end of his rant about how wonderful you are, Garfield will finally confess, asking if you would perhaps
 just maybe
if it wouldn’t be too much of an inconvenience
 go out with him? He’ll rant about how he knows that his green skin might be a turn-off for you, how he knows he can be too energetic sometimes, and how he understands that he isn’t necessarily the most stable of people
 But he’ll do his best to improve, he promises!

You cut his rant short, crashing your lips into his with a passion you weren’t even aware that you possessed. Garfield is so stunned that it takes him a good while to reciprocate, but when he does? Oh wow
 You never realised how good of a kisser your best friend was
 So good, in fact, that you totally forget to defrost his feet until he has to ask you to please do so before he gets major frostbites. You both laugh at that, but you concede to his request. After all, it’s probably not a good beginning to a romantic relationship to freeze off your boyfriend’s feet


That’s how the two of you start going out with each other. Those in the team who have known you guys for years are not surprised in the least that you ended up together
 They’re more astonished that it took so long.  

You two stay together as partners for years. When you turn too old to stay in the Teen Titans, you decide to venture out as heroes on your own
 perhaps you’ll rejoin Rita and the others in the Doom Patrol, or perhaps you’ll do something entirely on your own, as long as you’re together, it doesn’t matter. But on your last day with the Titans, you notice how Garfield isn’t acting like he normally does. It makes you nervous for him, you know that you two are about to experience big changes in your lives, but you’ll do them together, so you thought he would be okay with it
 

Well, it turns out that your worries were unfounded because as you are about to raise a toast with your former teammates, Garfield drops down to one knee. At first, you’re unsure of what is happening, and your powers kick into gear, making the room freezingly cold, despite the warm weather outside. Then, Garfield pulls out a ring, asking you to marry him. The room’s temperature returns to normal, and without any thought given to your answer, you exclaim a loud “Yes!” quickly covering your mouth with both hands as you realise that you practically screamed it out.

Everyone is happy for the two of you, none more than Garfield’s adoptive mother, Rita Farr. When the green boy tells her the news, she cries uncontrollably from pure joy. She’ll hug you both close and congratulate you over and over, to the point where it’s almost a tad embarrassing.

Your wedding will be attended by all of your old teammates, the remaining members of the Doom Patrol and any other friends the two of you may have. It’s beautiful, and you both decided to do it during the winter, just as a quiet reference to your powers. It was Garfield’s idea. You thought it was a bit too mushy when he first suggested the idea, but it slowly grew on you, as you decorated the venue yourself with ice crystals and snowflake-inspired decorations galore. Rita helps hang everything up, she is after all Elasti-girl.

It’s a beautiful event and the two of you become a powerhouse within the vigilante circles, you’ll rarely see one without the other, and if any of your allies ever need help, they know they can count on the two of you.

It's a little hard to explain, it can be what you hate and love the most at the same time.

Ok so, I read about the part Damian and Alfred having a love for tea and bonding over it together it and honestly just so cute. I would bond with them and I also have a tea addiction. I really don't like coffee, I drink tea every morning. I drink multiple different types of tea. Every morning I drink a different type of tea and it is just fun and relaxing in my opinion. Fun fact there is about 3000 different types of teas around the world.đŸ˜„đŸ’–đŸ”

which batboy probably has a caffeine addiction other than tim

I’m kinda bouncing off the walls rn for the batfam so just know the majority of this post is me being facetious but...

I know for a goddamn fact that Jason absolutely SLAMS a good monster energy every once and awhile. Like, needing a little pick me up during a stakeout? Try this combo: the cotton candy Bang mixed with the blueberry five hour energy, all poured on the white Monster Energy and some of the good crunchy ice. Shit will rock his world and I just know he’s done it before (not gonna pretend like I haven’t).

 I also see Dick as the dad that drinks black coffee out of the “Worlds Best Dad” mug every. single. morning. and you cannot stop me. Damian has thrown the mug and shattered it 20 times but there always manages to be a new one the next day like some sort of magic shit. 

I think Damian would secretly develop a tea addiction during quarantine because he seems like the type of bitch that likes to nerd out over the different hues and flavor palettes in teas and Alfred and him would have little tea taste-tests where they discuss the validity of keeping each new tea brand in their stocks. Bruce thinks they’re insane but also thinks it’s adorable and it the one who has secretly been adding to their tea collection just for them to judge it later. 

But caffeine ADDICTION, I honestly don’t think any of them have one except Tim on them rough weeks, but don’t we all???

Anywho, thanks for the ask ily!!!

This was so sweet and cute. I am thankful that I have 2 loveing and kind uncles that are happily married together. And all LGBTQ are welcome here on my page.💕

Outed

Prompt: One of the batboys( dick?) is outed as gay, and the media make a big deal out of it. batmom being supportive and defensive of him. Angst and mother/son fluff pls. If you don’t want to that’s fine, but please tell me so that I know tumblr is working. Thanks so much

I did my best! Finals are coming up, so I’m not sure when I’m going to be able to post again! Let me know if you like this one and if you want a part 2!

 –

Dick knew that it was dangerous to show any kind of PDA while out with his boyfriend. Wally West understood why he couldn’t, he knew that Dick was constantly in the spotlight and that he hadn’t told anyone that he liked guys. But Wally couldn’t help leaning forward to press a kiss to Dick’s smiling mouth. The red flush that stained Dick’s cheeks and the small smile that he got in return made the kiss worth it. If they’d only seen the man taking pictures outside the restaurant, they might not have been so free with their affections.

–

The headline breaks the next day.

‘WAYNE HEIR SPOTTED WITH ANOTHER MAN: PUBLICITY STUNT OR RELATIONSHIP SCANDAL?’

You quickly click the news off and sit in silence.

“Miss Y/N, breakfast is served”

“Alfred, have you seen the news today?”

The older man hums softly, “I read the newspaper every morning, Miss. So, if you are referring to the news coverage about Master Richard, then yes, I have indeed seen todays headline.”

“Have you -” Suddenly your phone starts ringing, a picture of Dick hanging upside down and grinning flashing across the screen, “Good morning, sweetheart”

“Mom! Don’t watch the news!”

“Why? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing! Just don’t watch the news and don’t let Bruce read the paper. Please, mom – just 
 just please”

“Baby, are you on your way here?”

Dick clears his throat, “I’m actually standing at the front door”

You quickly stand up and make your way to the door, thankful that your husband had decided to sleep in today. As soon as the door opens Dick flings himself into your arms, sobbing into your chest like he hadn’t since Jason had died.

“Oh, sweetheart”

“M-m-mom! I m-messed u-up”

Turning to glance over your shoulder and lock eyes with Alfred, “Alfie, I’m taking Dick to the study, don’t let anyone in”

“Of course, Miss”

When you manage to get Dick into the study and settled down you speak, “Now, what’s gotten you so worked up, bluebird? I haven’t seen you this upset in a long time”

“I messed up, mom. I messed up big time”

“Is that why you didn’t want me to watch the news?”

Dick sniffles, running a trembling hand though his hair, “I have to tell you something 
 something I’ve been keeping a secret from everyone for – for a long time. I just didn’t know how to tell you -”

“Is this about that picture of you kissing Wally?”

Dick’s head snaps up, almost colliding with your jaw. His mouth is open, eyes wide in shock, “W-what?!”

You give your son a soft smile, “Is that what’s got you all worked up, bluebird?”

“I-I-”

“I mean you do have a thing for red-heads, Babs, Kori, you even flirted with Roy, so you dating Wally isn’t that far of a stretch”

“Mom -!”

“What I just want to know is why you’re so upset” You level your oldest son with a stern look, one that’s been dubbed “The Batmom”, “Start talking, sweetheart”

“I didn’t want you to find out like this! I wanted to – I was going to invite Wally over for dinner and tell everyone then!”

“That still doesn’t explain why you were hysterical earlier” Dick’s fingers flex, reflexively tightening in your shirt, he dips his head so his hair falls in his face and mumbles something, “What was that?”

“I thought you’d hate me”

“Richard Wayne-Grayson, look at me” Dick’s head snaps up at the use of his full name, “When have I ever done something like that?”

“You haven’t, but -”

“But nothing! I have always been about equality, you know that! I have never cared who any of you have loved as long as they make you happy! Shit, you could tell me that you were going to marry a rose bush and I would just tell you to watch out for thorns! Dick,” You gently cup his cheeks in your hand, “I love you, I will always love you because you are my son. This is your life, darling, and I have only ever wanted you to be happy in it. Now, I need you answer a few questions for me”

Dick’s eyes are wide, “O-Okay”

“Does being with Wally make you happy?”

“Yes”

“Does Wally treat you right?”

“Of course”

You let out a soft breath, “Good, if that changes I’ll cut off his legs, without his legs he won’t be much of a speedster, will he?”

“Mom!”

“You’re my baby, it’s my job to protect you. Just wait until your siblings hear about this, their threats will probably be worse”

“Oh god! I didn’t even think about that!”

The two of you look up when you hear the front door slam open, the sound of several pairs of boots being taken off makes you smile, “MOM! HAVE YOU SEEN DICK!?!?” Jason voice seems to echo through the Manor, “WE NEED TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT SOMETHING!!!”

Quickly wiping the tear tracks from his face you hand your oldest son a tissue, “You had better clean yourself up, bluebird. If your siblings see you crying they are going to blame Wally, and then it’ll be a full-on witch-hunt”

“Hide me!”

“Nope, you have to talk to your younger siblings, and then you’ll have to talk to your father”

“NO!!! This is like some form of torture! You can’t torture your own child!”

The door to the study bangs open and in pour the rest of your children Cassandra, Jason, Stephanie, Tim, Damian, Duke, and last but not least Barbra. Jason is he first to speak up, “Alright, Dickie, it looks like you have some explaining to do”

Your oldest son turns big pleading blue eyes on you one last time, “Please, mom”

But Cassandra quickly steps forward and takes her brothers arm, “Come, brother, explain”

Unable to deny Cass anything, Dick lets out a resigned sigh and stands up, “Fine, but I’m hungry so we’re doing this over breakfast”

Steph grins, “I was hoping you’d say that! I can’t wait to have an Alfred cooked meal!”

Once all of the kids file out, giving you either a quick hug or a kiss on the cheek in greeting, Alfred appears in the doorway, “Is there anything I can get for you, Miss Y/N, before I am preoccupied with the children?”

“No, Alfie, I’m actually about to go upstairs and wake Bruce up to talk to him. You go enjoy the company of your grandchildren”

Alfred smiles, “It has been such a long time since everyone has been under the same roof”

Squeezing Alfred’s hands as you pass, you call over your shoulder, “I hope you made enough food, those kids looked hungry”

“I always make enough food, Miss. Do try not to insult me in such a way”

Your laughter echoes down the hall, blending in with the sounds of your children all eating and talking over each other. Spotting Dick’s smiling face as you make your way past the dining room, you can’t help but be relieved. Dick realizing that his family loves him no matter what is exactly what your oldest son needed. Now, if only you can convince Bruce that Dick dating Wally is a good thing your day will go a lot smoother.
