Tales of bats and wolves
"We're wolves, sweetheart. We stay together, hunt together and thrive together. We don't need anyone else."
Bruce Wayne has had his fair share of scandals over the years that came back to bite him in the ass. Regardless, he never expected that the whore he slept with one night would show up at his house a decade later, with the daughter they conceived...and solid proof of his family's secret identities as vigilantes. Her deal? Simple: Marry her and take them in, including her two youngest children, who aren't even his. And in return, she won't reveal the truth.
For years, this arrangement has consisted on keeping distance from each other and overall pretending one side of the family doesn't exist. The civilians enjoy the money and privileges that come from being rich, and the crime fighters barely spare them a though. Confined in opposite sides of the manor and interacting only when its necessary. After all, what bussiness do they have with a gold-digger and some kids who aren't part of their world, who don't contribute or would ever understand what they do? Not even if one is a biological daughter or sister
That's it, until they're forced to look closer, and for the first time, they notice the loopholes. The cracks. So painfully obvious, in front of them all this time. And maybe, just maybe, they realise they made a mistake. A huge one.
But are they still in time to fix it?
Do they even want to fix it...or just solve the challenge to claim their prize?

Daddy (and brother) issues
Being submerged in a new way of living can be, figuratively, a very stressful time for a sixteen-year-old. New school. New city. New friends.ย
And a new family, which can be a very fragile subject to handle.
Especially when you are forced to pretend to be someone who is no longer alive; all while looking for your missing twin, learning to keep your uncontrolled powers a secret, and discovering how not to lose your own identity with a body that is very much not your own.
(Y/N) Maximoff did not sign up for family drama. (Y/N) Wayne did not sign up to die young.
Both of them seem to become Deathโs favorite tragedy.
Can Maximoff not lose herself in a place designed to see her crash and burn at the stake? Will she be able to find a place to belong? Learn to own up to her situation and even get some peace for the girl that is no longer amongst the living? Get some proper answers in a city full of mystery and secrets?
Thankfully, most of the questions have a positive outcome.
Can she escape from the haunting shadows of a family of obsessive bats?
That may be a lot harder to respond to, as expected.

this is inspired by @luludeluluramblings 's neglected! influencer! **I'll expand this later, I'm eepy**
*I don't own Rรคt. It belongs to Penelope Scott. Batfam belongs to DC*
Not gonna lie, everytime I read a Yandere Batfam x Neglected Reader (I wish we have more defiant one tbh, i have parental issues and I tell you I will never ever forgive my parents fast. It's my dad's fault I don't know how to ask for help and that everytime he's near me all my danger senses are high up. Ending this here before it becomes a rant/vent lol) all I can hear in my brain is Rรคt by Penelope Scott
Maybe we can do it like this: Neglected! reader uses music to let frustrations out and leading to them becoming this anon singer online. Reader started out with being a black screen singer at first, making covers of songs and then later they started when gaining popularity they started having this anime avatar or an anime persona (maybe even a vtuber model) and original songs left and right.
Reader lives a normal life flying under the radar in daylight but when alone they sing their hearts out in different songs, they even learn different languages for foreign songs too. I can imagine reader singing Japanese songs too something around Kikuo to One OK Rock covers.
AND THEN the big fight with Damian, reader really can't bear living in the mansion anymore. They bear it too much and now the bottle is already full. Before they left they dropped the song cover of Rรคt or maybe it's not even a cover in this AU, maybe they wrote the song in this AU. Gotham immediately loved the song maybe even tried to decipher the song too because singer! reader just dropped it and disappeared.
The song immediately gained notoriety because to the people of Gotham the song sounded like a protest. A question to the current hierarchy, a question to heroes and how villains came to be. No one still notices that the reader is missing until Tim was tasked to clean up some camera file storage around the mansion.
Tim watches every footage before cleaning it, no matter how boring it was to see if something went amiss while they are out on their secret vigilante nightlife. What did he find on the camera footage? He found the reader going around their bedroom and to the attic back and forth with a microphone and few recording equipment. When he reviewed the attic footage he found clips and clips of reader singing, editing, and uploading videos.
Suddenly, the last song they dropped made sense. The lyrics made sense. It was about them not about Gotham society.
I want all the bats to wake up in a world where Jason never died and Tim never joined the family and it justโฆabsolute chaos. Iโm talking like, competent Lex Luther but itโs Tim Drake.
Idk how but he was still trained by Shiva (was going to visit his parents at a dig over holiday and took a wrong turn). And itโs not like heโs a villian. heโs an anti-hero. Morally grey at best. He never stopped with the night stalking, he just expanded it to more than the bats. He is *the* info broker of Gotham City. Nothing happens in his city without him knowing.
The key thing here is that Tim never adopted Bruceโs mission. And as a kid with too much money, too much time, and a penchant for being where he shouldnโt be, Tim grew into the most feral of gremlins.
Iโm talking chaos for chaos sake. Pulling one pin out of a well crafted plan by either the bats or the rogues just to see it all fall apart and watch them rush to improvise on the spot. Iโm talking blackmailing a boardroom of executives because they voted against creating a skatepark in a lower income area of the city (kids deserve safe places to play). Iโm talking catching a wiff of the League of Assassins in his city, tracking down all info on them back to their main HQ finding out about Damian, and calling in Mama Shiva to do a two person wipe out of an entire base to abduct who Tim has officially claimed as his little brother (aka Damian).
And yes, Damian does eventually make it to Bruce, but not before Imprinting on Tim, which is how Tim *finally* gets dragged into the family. Because despite his general ruthlessness, he has not, and probably never will be able to, say no to Damian when he flashes his puppy eyes at him.
Bruce is exasperated. He doesnโt know how to fix this. Jason is kinda impressed. Dick is wallowing because whereโd his cute baby brother go. Who is cleverly disguised, feral trash panda.
Meanwhile in the other room Damian and Tim are sitting together sharing a secret smile.
โHow long do you think it will take them to realize weโre the same Damian and Tim from their dimension?โ
โDepends on how good your acting is Drake.โ
โPlsss. I give it 6 months.โ
โA year,โ Damian challenged. Because it was a challenge.
โDeal.โ Tim agreed, because this time around he gets to be a bit more chaotic and also dote on his baby brother without the threat of being assassinated. Oh yes. The younger brothers are going to have fun with this one.

Y'know, forget the top-bottom or the redblack/coolwhite divide, I think the two who would get along best out of all the MXTX mains would be Shen Yuan and Hua Cheng
Shen Yuan: I was revived into my second life by virtue of my fanatical devotion to my favorite person and my seething hatred of the oceans of unworthy people around him who failed to properly respect how awesome he is
Hua Cheng: You. You get it.
Itโs still Valentines where I live!!!! I still finished it on time!!!!!!!
Happy Valentines to everyone, hopefully I will remember to make a White Day companion piece to this, hopefully

Trigger Warning: Major body horror, bones breaking, blood, teeth falling out, and whatnot. Like this is my first time actually writing something like and I was like ๐จ If you ainโt comfortable with that, let me give you a short TL:DR at the end of the taglist.
Iโll put a sign that when itโll begin and end with this: ๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง ๊ง๊ง ๊ง๊ง ๊ง๊ง ๊ง
The moment Alfred Pennyworth saw you in that police station, clutching onto the edge of the seat with your big eyes, and confused look, he knew he was going to adore you.
He has been a caretaker, a protector, a father all his life, raising Bruce when his parents, Alfredโs cherished friends, have died. He tended to his wounds and assisted when Dick was first brought into the Manor.
Ever since then, he has cared, loved, protected, and cherished every single member of this family. He was a great guardian to all.
However, Alfred was far from perfect, shamefully leaving his daughter to care for a family he wasnโt related to, yet he hoped raising all of Bruceโs children would make up for his neglected ways.
Thatโs why he attached himself to you. You were neglected outright the moment you held out your hand for Bruce to shake. He was appalled seeing his son ignore you so blatantly.
Perfect as he may not have been, he saw his daughter in you. He may not have fully have the memory of Julia Pennyworthโs childhood, but he knew she was a spunky and bright as you.
Yet despite the promise of taking care of you, life had other plans when Bruce took in Jason, taking the title of Robin to him. He was relieved to see you have one family member to bond over.
But after Jasonโs death, it was back to square one with you. His heart ached seeing you get rejected with each member, and he tried his best to make sure you had felt included, even if it was him only.
Old habits die hard, he supposed. He once or twice failed to acknowledge you for he has been too busy with the other members, as one does. One memory was horrible when he failed to arrive for your science fair, and you returned home with your tear stained cheeks.
He has never forgiven himself since, each failed parenting attempt a reminder that he has failed his daughter. Unhealthy as it may have been, Alfred knew you werenโt her.
You were more than any child he has seen being adopted in the Wayne Manor. You were his child, and what had happened that day made him knew he failed you once more.
Cleaning the garden with some members of the family, Alfred returned back inside for drinks. Tim had the foolishly wise idea to throw a stick at a window, your window, where the beehive laid.
The bees began to emerge from their hive and hovered around the family, not fully attack until Dick panicked and sprayed the bees with the hose, completely missing and hit your window again.
The bees werenโt thrilled with the attack on your window, so they began to sting the members, first Dick, then heavily at Tim. Steph hid behind Bruce as the oldest member quickly avoided the bees and pulled out the pesticides for the weeds.
When Alfred returned, horror ran throughout his body when he saw the dead bees and hive. That was when he began shouting at them, the moment you returned home, and the moment you finally broke.
โWow, crybaby,โ Damien snarked while walking in the garden to see the commotion. He watched you run back inside, and couldnโt help but snicker acting so pathetic.
โSteph, clean up this mess, Iโll have to tend to Timโs stings,โ Bruce pinched his nose in frustration, not aware of Alfredโs frozen body, anger rising to his face before he let out a harsh and cold tone.
โBruce Thomas Wayne!!โ Everyone stopped what they were doing, looking at Alfred. Bruce froze, as the butler was royally pissed off, yet it only showed in his eyes.
โNever in my life if raising you, tending to your failures and comfort your pain, would I ever expect you to treat one of your children with such negligence and disgust!โ He shouted, causing the siblings to look down, however Alfred saw that they werenโt full realizing what they did, which made him more furious.
โYou not only proved to me that you never truly known Master (Name), but you proved to me that despite all of your achievements involving the rest of your kids, you are still arrogant enough to not ever acknowledge your own flesh in blood when they were in pain!โ Pulling out his wallet, Alfred shows rows of photos of you as a kid, beaming while holding up a trophy.
Bruce instinctively opened his mouth to defend himself, but words died on his tongue, eyes drifting down to the destroyed beehive. You were always talking about bees, he thinks. What did you talk about?
And those photos. They looked old. You werenโt that old today, right? Bruce felt his stomach knot. How old were you?
โPennyworth,โ Damien at least had the decency to avoid eye contact, as no one dared to backtalk to Alfred when heโs scolding. โIt was just a bunch of-,โ
โMaster Damien, you of all people here should know what the bond is between human and animal,โ He turned to the youngest son, โYour strong bond with your pets are the equivalent to Master (Name)โs bonds with their bees. If not, their bond is stronger,โ That had Damien to shut up.
โThey have worked hard, every single day just to prove that they belonged in this family. Despite your comments, lack or affection, and shameful harmful attacks, they never let their smile disappear,โ There were times he truly thought he failed you when you couldnโt smile, yet the next day the genuine joy was back.
โI am utterly not only disappointed in everyone here, but utterly appalled to witness you all not realize how exactly in the wrong you are,โ Alfred tightened his fingers and dug them into his gloved palms, his projections strong.
โThey adored you all, despite not knowing your nightly escapades, they wished to be apart of your hearts along with everyone else!โ Alfred stretched his arm out to the hive, โYet the proof is right on the floor, murdered by their own father,โ The hive was now meant a lot to Alfred as it was to you.
โI, myself, is also to blame. I lack the strength to speak up sooner, in hopes that you all might finally one around and open your hearts and arms for them, but I was wrong,โ He admitted, guilty memories of him leaving Julia haunted him. He wonโt do the same with you.
โI expect you all to apologize first thing in the morning, we donโt want a foul mood lingering in the air when their birthday is simply two days away,โ Not letting any of them have the final say, Alfred turned on his heels and marched inside, heart slamming against his chest.
He looked around then at the stairs, where Duke was standing there with a concerned look on his face. That gave Alfred a hint on where you went.
โA-Alfred?โ Duke quietly mumbled, peaking out of the stairwell like a child admitting to do something wrong. Alfred let out a deep sigh before motioning Duke to follow him.
โIs thisโฆ where their room was all along?โ Duke said in shock, then shame washed over his face. Even the door looked small compared to the massive doors that led to his room. Alfred closed his eyes and knocked with his knuckle.
โMaster (Name)?โ He began, โI heavily and sincerely apologize for what has happened with your bees. Please forgive my lack of defense towards your dear creatures. Iโm sorry,โ He called through the door. Silence, making the butler talk again.
โWords cannot describe how awful I feel, Master (Name). I promise you with my very soul, everything will change after this day,โ He rested his forehead against the door, collecting his composure as to not feel more ashamed while imagining your cries while holding onto him.
โY-yeah, (Name)! Maybe tomorrow, we could go eat take out! Relax at the beach, or watch a movie!โ Duke piped up, a nervous smile on his face. You didnโt respond, which had Alfred worried.
โMaster (Name)?โ Gently twisting the doorknob, Alfred pushed the door open. Duke couldnโt see inside as Alfred peered in, but soon swung the door open. Duke hadnโt had time to react before Alfred turn to run off in the halls. And when Duke looked back in your room, he knew why.
You were gone.

You crashed into the rough sidewalk, scrapping large cuts and stabs of concrete digging into your skin. You just kept on pushing and continued to skate through the heavy rain. The glow from Ivyโs pollen she gifted you lit up the way to the warehouse in the harsh storm.
You managed to easily slide underneath the broken door to the warehouse, still gaining more slices form the gravel and concrete, yet you didnโt care at all.
โNo more waiting, I have to do this now,โ You panted, starting up the generators and checking on your hive. You wiped more tears, or was it rain?, while watching your motherโs beehive still intact. You may have failed your bees, but you wonโt fail your mother.
You tossed your wet jacket on the old tv, taking your phone out to check the time and record this very moment of Raine history.
11:45
You were completely unaware that you had left your deceased Queen bee in you pocket, and by putting your jacket on the tv, she slipped out and landed into the honey.
Unaware of what you did, the honey began to glow the orange light, brighter hues swirled around the poor insects before completely dissolving her completely.
You turned back to the honey jar, grabbing it and paced around, determination etched all over your face. Youโll prove them that you do belong, that your existence was worth something just like them.
โProject: Honey,โ You began, โAn intense research study on genetically altering the DNA and structure of the honeybee. To provide better insight on saving endangered plants and to uprise the declining bee population,โ While you talked, you kept on starting up everything in the warehouse.
You stood in the center, holding the jar over your head, faltering for a moment. You second guessed yourself on not waiting for a little while more, but flashes of the Waynes, you knew you had to do it.
โFinal test, what more can you push yourself into being a part of your research than being just like a bee?โ You asked yourself, holding the jar up in the light, โFor you, mama,โ And with that, you took a small sip.
You shut your eyes tight, hitching your breath. Yet the moment you swallowed the thick honey, your eyes shot back open, mouth salivating while you looked back at the jar, hands trembling.
It was-
โSo sweetโฆโ You muttered, tasting more of the honey. You never tasted anything like this! Each sip was more flavorful than the last. You needed more.
โSo floralโฆ so savoryโฆโ You stuck your finger in the jar, addicted to such a flavor. Your senses were too focused on the honey to realize your eyes began to turn a pinkish red, and your genetic bees began to rumble within their hives.
โSo good,โ
๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง ๊ง๊ง ๊ง๊ง ๊ง๊ง ๊ง
But that was when the itching started.
โFuckโฆโ You hissed, feeling your arms itch, and soon your whole body began to feel like it needed to be rubbed with sandpaper. Your nails scratched against your arms and neck, the urge to peel your skin off was overwhelming.
Your stomach felt ill, but it wasnโt from the honey. Your vision blurred, until you felt something wet run down your cheek. You wiped them away, believed to be tears, but only when you saw dark strains on your fingers, you realized blood was seeping from your eyes.
You couldnโt even scream when pain shot to your limbs.
Suddenly, a grotesque sound of bones breaking, and extreme jolts of hot searing pain ran to your spine. The ringing of your ears didnโt cover the piercing high pitch screams of horror. Your skin tightens and cracks, bones twisting in agony, as if something was pushing against your skin.
You felt like vomiting, the bile, or was it blood? You found out quickly when you spat out a glob of both vomit and blood, but something hard slipped through your lips.
Your tooth. Your teeth.
One became three, and soon every tooth began to fall out with strong strings of blood and shreds of gums trailing behind them. You choked out a low, guttural sound emitting from your very throat, a sound you never made before.
It wasnโt a scream, yet you did felt like screaming with every single emotion you experienced. You wanted this to stop, this was horrifying enough to make you want to cry out, do something. The sounds coming out of you became higher pitch, almost like a screech from an unknown creature.
Your spin felt like it was scalding hot, searing pain spreads across your back until you let out another screech when you heard the sickening CRUNCH of muscles and skin break by your spine.
Your back splits open, something pushing through like it needed you. You needed air. It pushed through, getting larger by the minute before the head pulls out with a loud ear piercing sound emitting from its mouth.
It wasnโt an it. It was you.
It felt like your skin was being pulled off, like a crab molting from its old skin. Yourโฆ old body began to spasm until it fell limp, your new body crawling out, spreading wings out and fully standing tall.
Yet despite the ease of escaping the skin, the agonizing pain still very much lingered. You never stopped screeching with how much your body distorted. Legs, arms, mouth and body, everything was unbearable.
โM-MAMA!!โ You screeched out, gurgled by the globs of blood you keep vomiting out. Your stomach lurched and heaved with the torture youโve been enduring, flashes of memories seeming to be the one good thing in this disturbing experience.
Then-
Silence.
๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง๊ง ๊ง๊ง ๊ง๊ง ๊ง๊ง ๊ง
Everything was over. The pain wasnโt there, but the fear never went away. You didnโt comprehend what happened, what you became, and where you were. You were snapping your head around, watching the warehouse lights intently before eyes spotted the beehive.
The moment you looked at it, your eyes hurt from the sudden burst of light emerged from your head and back. Your blurry eyes trailed down to your own body, seeing two pairs of arms. But besides your arms, underneath you.
Was the body of you.
You gently clasped your hands underneath your once human body. Cheeks stained with blood that leaked from your tears, limbs contorted in an inhumane way, and eyes faded into grey pupils.
Vision blurry yet still coherent, they landed on the clock, where it flashed a bright infrared sequence of numbers to tell the time.
11:52
It was merely seven minutes of agonizing torture.
The sunroof shattered by the weight of multiple people, having you whip your body around to see Batman. His cowl never showed much, yet his eyes showed more than enough emotions. Most was fear. But for what? Or who.
Along with Batman, stood the Robins. Red Robin assessed what was going on in front of them, before feeling sick when he saw what the scene was in front of them all.
A large grotesque figure, almost two times the size of Bane himself, a bright colorful glow surrounding it while it flexed its thorax. And underneath the beastโฆ was your body, back completely ripped as if it had taken your skeleton, completely lifeless.
Your eyes couldnโt properly identify what or who was in front of you, all pairs of your eyes darting in completely different directions and not being able to fully spot the figures. The confusion made you tighten your grip on your old corpse more.
You opened your mouth to at least release a sound, before screeching when a baterang swooshed past your neck, body acting fast and barely avoided a decapitation.
โGET AWAY FROM THEM!!โ Robin screamed, charging towards you with a strong swing of his sword. You dropped your body and scrambled back, your new form not yet in control. You skidded against the concrete flooring, pushing both pairs of arms to steady yourself.
Signal, Batman, Orphan, Red Robin, Spoiler, Nightwing, Robin, and Red Hood all began to surround you, all had looks underneath their helmets, cowls, and masks that show they were out for blood, filled with anguish and rage.
Red Hood pulled out a gun, cocking it before aiming it at you. All of your eyes darted around as you began to get surrounded by them, your hearing still ringing as you could see them shout, yet no words were audible.
Before any of the Bats can attack, your genetic bees swarm around them, glowing yellow and orange as if blinding them. You felt yourself pull towards to the hive, and you took a big leap over them and clumsily landed in the now ruined garden.
The bees got aggressive, the whole hive glowing brighter and brighter as they all began to buzz so loud, it was all anyone could hear.
Robin raised one of his swords, about to attack and destroy the hive, but Signal tackled him, looking like he was shouting at the boywonder. You didn't care, you had to escape.
Arms wrapped around the hive, and clutched it to your chest as you needed to escape. Just when you felt hopeless in escaping, the world felt lighter, as if you were floating.
Which you were. You were flying.
You couldnโt even comprehend what was happening until you burst through the broken sunroof, still clutching your hive securely.
Where were you? You didnโt know, all you had to know was that staying in one place will get you killed. You body flew across the city buildings, emitting a powerful light bursting from your body. It wouldโve been something to marvel about if it wasnโt your weakness at the moment.
Flying in the air was exposing you as a big red target. As if knowing what you wanted, your body began to tilt downward and fly towards the ground. Yet you still didnโt know how to control your body, so you crash landed.
You didnโt recognize this place, or maybe you did? Your mind was being overwhelmed with the horrors you endured. The rain hit your disgusting form with harsh impacts, as if the world was punishing you for committing on such a foolish act.
You crawled the best you can into a narrow alleyway, avoiding large areas to get spotted faster. You never stopped panting, you never stopped panicking, all of this frantic terrified emotions soon stopped when you finally were able to pause and stare at the reflection from a trash lid.
You were no longer yourself. You were nothing but a monster. You were this large beast, one more pair of arms protruding from your waist, each hand containing sharp, claw-like fingers.
Legs were definitely not resembling human, as they were slightly thick. It looked like they were made to be agile and strong. Your second pair of hands dug their claws into your thighs, as if trying to see if it was all a bad dream.
Your face wasnโt any different. Three pairs of eyes, antennas prominent on your face, with a sharp and golden charm-like plaque above your head. Two thoraxes one both sides of your mouthโฆ where did your mouth goโฆ?
Large translucent wings with pink and yellow hues, your large abdomen behind you and hair on your headโฆ both were glowing. Bright colors of blue, yellow, pink, and orange swirled within, lighting up the dark and grim alley you landed in.
The final touch was the stinger, sharp and long, and it was embarrassingly twitching.
Some say you were the most beautiful and fascinating creature they ever stumbled upon, but you knew better. You were this gross disgusting beast that crawled out of your old body.
You failed your mother, you failed yourself, and you failed your poor bees who died in vain by the hands of yourโฆ yourโฆ what were they?
You sniffled before peering into the hive you still clutched against your arms. They still glowed, giving out an almost harmonious buzz, as if they were comforting you. You saw the Queen bee still alive inside, much for alive than your poor Queen bee at home-
Wait.
Your queen bee. Where was she when you ran away?
You couldnโt even think before you let out another screech, dropping your hive as you got dragged out of the alleyway. You scratched against the ground, desperately trying to get a hold of a strong object, yet it was futile as strong vines wrapped around your body, the tip of the vine gripping your jaw.
"Well well well~โ
A voice. A soothing alluring tone that echoed through the night. Your glowing body allowed you to see a slender figure rising above you with the help of plants, strangely familiar red rose hair and a bright smirk across theirโฆ her lips.
โIt seems to me that I have myself a little~... a little..." Her smirk faltered, eyes narrowing at you, before they trailed down to the necklace around your neck. They widened in horror, the vines loosening ever so slightly before she pushed the plants for carry her closer to you.
"Bumblebee?" Ivy uttered, and your whole body went loose within her binds. All of your eyes, wide eyed and scared, stared at her own, softening as if you recognized her for the first time. That had her stomach drop. Did you not recognize her?
You began to let out another screech of fear as you heard the Bats coming. Ivy furrowed her eyebrows, looking at the small figures getting closer on the buildings, then at you... or rather, what now became of you.
She quickly covered your face with her vine, pulling your struggling body into her flower shop and into a secret passage. There laid a base for all the villains to law low, each of them shouting in annoyance over Ivy's vines, but soon shut up seeing you.
"Hey hey, it's okay,โ She tried to shush you, โYou need to stop thrashing, I cannot help you if you're in a state of panic," Yet like a caged animal, you were relentless on trying to escape the vineโs grasp, holding you in the middle of the base.
Riddler, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, Bane, Scarecrow, Catwoman, and every other villain that escaped Arkham and are laying low watched intently, whispering to one another.
โ(Name)?" "It's them..." "Not my poor child, what has happened to them?" "No.." Henchmen and villains alike all watched timely as you struggled against the binds of the sturdy vines, Ivy watching you intently.
โOh (Name)..." She whispered, โWhat has happened to you?โ She cupped your cheek, thumb rubbing against the thorax as you continued to sob, a small vulnerable child stuck in a monstrous body.
"S...Sc-Ared." You choked out, "M-Mะฐ...Mะฐ... W-wa-nt... M-Mama..." Blood still seeped out of what is now your mouth, staining the thorax with wet splotches of red. Your voice was no longer filled with bright, anxious, or even sarcastic tone.
Ivy didnโt know how to calm you down. How could she fix something when she has no idea how you became like this? Earlier this morning you were this bubbly, clumsy teen who tripped over their own shoes, and now? And why donโt you know her?
From the corner of her eyes, she saw Harley motioning her to hug you. She was hesitant at first, not knowing if your glowing hair is harmful, but she couldnโt let her baby client suffer like this.
"I'm so sorry the world hasn't been kind to you, little bumblebee," She hushed your broken cries. She bent you towards her, lowering you down as she placed you head against her chest.
"But I will be here for you," The warmth of her arms wrapped around your head, the steady heartbeat from her chest, the vines now simply holding your hands. You finally calmed down until there was nothing but hiccups and sniffles.
For once in this terrible night, you felt safe.
Buzzzzz
โIโll always be here for you, (Name),โ
A/N: wow... that's a whole lot of trauma for you.
BUUUT ANYWAYS, for those who skipped the part.
TL:DR- You got turned into an anthropomorphic bee in a horrifying way cuz I gotta do that Imao.
