clark grounds jonathan from his phone, and promptly receives a message from damian saying.
"Clark,
I am aware of the need for consequence in a child's upbringing. However, Jon and I have important matters to attend to, which you have interrupted by disallowing his use of a mobile device. I do not deem it necessary to inform you of the explicit details of those matters, but you must know that they are of an urgent nature.
May I have you reminded of who carries the Green K on them at all times, and whom that could be fatal to.
Regards, Damian"
bruce actually laughs when clark shows him.
Damian Wayne gets caught by the press while sneaking away and hanging out in civilian clothing with Red Hood and Bruce finding out they know each other isn’t even his biggest problem. his biggest problem is that the interviewer asked what his connection is to the crime lord and why they have on camera the guy calling Damian ‘habibi’, and, panicking about whether or not Bruce seeing this interview could leak Jason’s identity, to throw him off the trail Damian said that Red Hood is his parent.
Interviewer: wait. but… i thought that Bruce Wayne was your biological father?
Damian, panicking even more because both Jason and Bruce would kill him if people thought that Brucie Wayne was the Red Hood’s identity: what, don’t you support trans people? Hood was my mother.
Jason only finds out what Damian did when after a week of confusedly nodding at the trans pride pins people kept wearing and pointing out to him on the street, and Damian refusing to look him in the eye, Nightwing shows up during patrol crying laughing about how Bruce Wayne got asked during a gala about his secret affair with a crime lord and held his champagne glass so tightly it exploded in his hands.
Bruce, on the other hand, got sent the interview clip by Tim halfway through breakfast, whereupon hearing the audio start Damian climbed out the nearest window to get away. after a slightly paranoid text to Talia about whether or not she was in Gotham wearing a face covering helmet every night, be proceeds to freak the fuck out. he has no idea who the Red Hood is, or how Damian knows him. He also has no clue that Red Hood knows HIS identity, and fully plans on showing up to Wayne events in the helmet to antagonise Bruce by stealing food and demanding they talk about the ‘custody arrangements’ of their son. all he knows is that Damian broke a window in his haste to Not Explain Anything, and that Dick and Tim are wheezing hysterically on the other side of the house.
Part 1 for my comic for his birthday hehe
Ra’s complaining to that day’s personal bodyguard about how Damian never pays attention and wont stop fidgeting and never makes eye contact with him and he doesn’t know what to do because Talia is getting mad that he won’t bond with his own grandchild and Jason who got demoted to keeping an eye on Ra’s for the week after he killed another of Damian’s asshole tutors and got blood on his favourite rug is stood next to him like. dude your grandkid’s autistic. his special interest is animals. buy him a lizard or something. and Ra’s looks over at him with a considering gaze before going ‘maybe there was good reason for my daughter to take you in.’ and Jason has to report to Talia that evening like ‘the leader of the league of assasins is tucked into bed researching autism in children and also he says im his heir now’
Thinking about the person who said that Tim and Damian's stories are so tragic when compared to eachother because Damian got to learn that he wasn't a tool and all Tim ever got was confirmation that he was
So, I'm imagining a one-shot were Tim walks in on Bruce telling Damian that he'd do anything to make sure he could trust him and just absolutely LOSES it
Because when Tim was Robin, Bruce went out of his way to MAKE SURE Tim didn't trust him, and now he's going out of his way to make sure Damian does? What the FUCK! What happened to "I'll never trust you again" "Good" !??? What happened to making sure everyone has the same amount of trust issues as you???
Bonus points if Alfred catches some strays because it isn't often that he deserves that and this is one of those rare moments where he definitely DOES.
If Alfred ever DESERVES to catch strays, it's gotta be for Jason's Memorial Plaque (a good soldier??? Fuck you, Alfred!) And Tim's 16th birthday. And I *love* 16th birthday related angst.
I want to see Tim lose his cool in a way none of them have ever seen, I want him to scream and cry and throw stuff and then run away, I need it to be BAD
Tl;dr- I wanna see Bruce give Damian things he refused to give Tim and I want Tim to be rightfully upset about it

this fic
Just got done watching Battle of the Super Sons for the uhhhhh 5th time this week and why did it just now hit me that the opening scene where Jor-El and Lara sacrifice their lives to save Clark when Krypton is exploding is supposed to be a direct parallel to Jon and Damian choosing to sacrifice themselves as the Watchtower burns up in orbit in order to save their own family members and by extension the entire planet. That’s so fucking poetic, I can’t believe Damian and Jon invented being soulmates.
