The question is if Barry even knows. Barry knows Cap's identity? The lecture makes complete sense! Barry doesn't? Ohh, boy.
A Rogue: "I can't believe you let a child fight monsters! Villains and the things under your bed, nightmare fuel, and you left that to a kid??!
The Flash, wondering if he's gonna have to call Batman for what to do when your villains have a mental breakdown: I'm sorry?
A Rogue: You should be! All alone with just THINGS that have been rejected, horrendous things that scream in agony and prey on the weak, and you made a child deal with it?!
The Flash, no longer ceartin who the monster is in this rant, and thinking the villain might be talking about themselves and their traumatic backstory: That must've been horrible, no child should have to deal with that.
The Rogue, thinking the Flash knows what's going on: Exactly!
Just miscommunication abound, to sweeten the deal.
I was just thinking about how the Rogues, Len especially, don’t get enough recognition for having near Bruce Wayne levels of ‘Is anyone gonna adopt that?’ when it comes to kids.
Obviously it started with Wally after Barry’s disappearance. Len and Mick basically looked at him and went ‘Ope, Barry’s gone. I guess it’s up to us to raise him now.’ while Wally looks on, totally confused as these two former criminals show up at his house for barbecues and make sure his wiring gets done properly. He will spend the rest of his career being Kid to them, and probably gets noogied regularly.
The entire team adopts their tailor’s nephew and raise him, even before any of them tried to turn straight. Just this little bullied kid sitting on their laps, learning to cheat at poker, getting walked to and from school to make sure he doesn’t get beaten up.
When Owen shows up on the scene, Len knows that Lisa isn’t his mom, but he still goes straight in with his ‘Rogues are family’ speech and starts calling him Son and bragging that his boy’s got Speed.
I can just see Captain Marvel showing up in Central to help Flash with something, and every Rogue in the city just lifting their head and sniffing the air because ‘There’s a sad orphan out there somewhere who needs love and attention and to be called Champ.’ Next thing he knows, Billy’s got a new family fitting him for a cool new suit and making sure he gets into a good school and he’s not entirely sure how this is gonna go down with the League but that night Barry gets a three hour long lecture about letting a kid fight monsters which he can’t get out of because he’s frozen to a wall.
The overwhelming ambient ectoplasm of Gotham messes with ecto-signature trackers. Good for Danny and Jason? Yes. Good for Batfam and Team Phantom? Absolutely not.
It was supposed to be a basic bust. Get in, beat up the goons, alert the GCPD of the illegal goods, get out.
This bust wasn’t the same. The strange men in the white suits overwhelmed Nightwing and Red Hood and knocked them out. Nightwing woke up still in the warehouse. Red Hood however, was gone.
Red Hood didn’t know what these Ghost Investigation Ward guys wanted him for but a sinking feeling in his gut said that it wasn’t for anything good
"Jason," Steph says into her phone, "I need you to come to the second living room real quick, I need help with my homework,"
"It's a group project, can't you just ask your partner?"
"We need a non-biased third party,"
"Oookay? Yeah, sure, fine. I'll be there in a minute,"
And then Jason hung up on her. Rude.
"How long will it be?" Danny asked, arms still crossed and face guarded.
"A minute, maybe two. Jason was probably in the library, he'll be down soon,"
"He's down now," Jason said, entering the room. His eyes narrowed at the palpable tension in the room, as well as the weird look Steph's friend was giving him. "Whadda'ya need?"
"Ever heard of the anti-ecto acts?" Steph asked, nervously.
"No, the fuck are those?"
"You don't know?" Danny asked, eyes wide. "You really don't know?"
"No. What's wrong?" Jason was starting to get kind of freaked out. The two teenagers were both too visibly stressed for this to be an innocent question.
Steph cringed. "You're probably going to want to sit down,"
Stephanie Brown is partnered with her classmate, Danny Fenton, on a research paper for her English Gen Ed. This single assignment lead to a spiral of circumstances that she never would have dreamed of.
Danny, under his breath: Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. Gaslight, gatekeep-
Danny had kept many secrets from his family over the years. He kept his history as an ex-assassin secret, the fact that he had a twin a secret, the fact that he had died (well half died), and he kept that he was technically king of all ghosts a secret too. He was gearing up to tell his parents about everything he was and this trip to Gotham that they were planning.
There was a science convention that his parents were invited too. Little did they know a group of cultists were planning on kidnapping his family as a sacrifice to the ghost king, they needed 5 and they figured the Fentons would be good, a family of ghost hunters getting sacrificed to the king? They needed a 5th so they also kidnapped a Damian Wayne.
now all 5 of them are in a room, Danny doesn’t even know what’ll happen when the summoning doesn’t work and he knows it won’t seeing as you can’t summon the king into a room he’s already in.
You’re immortal, and have passed the ‘hero’ phase centuries ago. You enter a small coffee shop one day to find that it’s owned by your millennia-old arch-nemesis. You really, really just want a chai latte though.
He's built like a brick wall. He does not get dipped, because most partners would drop him. He doesn't get wooed because he has a whole bad boy persona. But that man would die a second time, if Danny strolled up to his door with flowers. If Danny leaned down to kiss his hand and smile up at him. If Jason tripped and Danny caught him in a dip and said, "I think you just fell for me". Welcome to blushing mess, population Jason.
