Dragon Blood Au!

Dragon blood au!

In a universe where the Lazarus Pit is made of dragon blood (which is a species that disappeared years ago), people coming into contact with it develop physical traits identical to the animal and their emotions are increased tenfold.

Jason Todd thought he had escaped this effect because he only entered it once, but two months after his resurrection he woke up with a toothache so bad he couldn't even speak. He quickly realized that he was bleeding from his gums and when he looked in a mirror he realized that his teeth (especially his canines) had become longer and much sharper! Since then the effects of the Lazarus Pit have manifested themselves more and more, horns had grown on his head, his nails had transformed into claws, some scales had appeared on his skin (very little so he can hide them), and a tail had formed at the end of its spine.

Fortunately for Jason these effects can be hidden (not erased according to Talia) with emotional control. Learning to calm his temper was more complicated than Jason expected, which allowed him to plan his comeback so well. When Jason finally agreed to return to the Batfam he kept his new appearance a secret for a long time. Dick, Alfred and Bruce were also surprised to see him so calm since he couldn't get angry without revealing his secret.

He managed to keep his human appearance until one winter at the manor when Jason's body could no longer stand the cold and decided on its own to make him regain his dragonish appearance to keep him warm. Only Damian didn't react to that while the others looked at Jason speechless since he had grown up with Jason in the league for several years and he too had a dragonish appearance having also been placed in the Pit but also never told anyone because : "it wasn't important."

A few weeks after Ayla's arrival at the mansion, the batkids quickly noticed her resemblance to a Viking warrior. Whether it was her impressive muscles, her Mohawk braid or the Viking symbol tattoo on her arm, everything could make you think that she is a Valhalla warrior. So they secretly started calling her Valkyrie until Jason started openly calling her that. This nickname has stuck ever since.

Duke already asked her why she wore her hair like that, she simply replied that she found it badass.

BONUS!

Ayla's size has never been defined, which makes her difficult to draw next to other members of the batfamily.

Here's an old one I posted on Tiktok a while ago:

Dragon blood au!

Being half-dragon comes with its downsides. Of course Damian and Jason love looking more impressive than the rest of the Batfam when they're in dragon form (and so does Bruce, but he'll never admit it). But for every big feeling they feel their reptile parts answer the call faster than Alfred in the kitchen when he learns that Bruce is trying to make food.

For example:

Jason: Laughing and almost choking after seeing one of Roy's inventions blow up in his face.

Roy: Wiping his face "That's not funny Jaybird!"

Jason: Still dying of laughter when he hears the sound of clothes tearing appart. “Shit.”

Jason: Looking down at his feet to see the bottom of his pants and his shoes totally torn as his legs turned into dragon paws. "Again!?"

Or:

Damian: Annoyed because he can't paint correctly the idea he had for one of his drawings.

Damian: Breaks his brush in two before realizing that his hands have become all scaly and clawed. "Father! I'm going to need a new brush!"

Bruce: "Again!? I bought you a whole kit last week!!"
