Ooh any prompts for hero x villain marriages of convenience?
CW: Some of these involve a forced relationship and could be toxic depending on how it’s written and the intentions of the characters.
1. When Supervillain takes over the city, Hero can’t risk seeming like a threat, so they lure their old nemesis, Villain, into a marriage proposal to get closer to Supervillain’s inner circle.
2. Villain and Hero are both tired of being ridiculed for their eternal singleness thanks to their jobs. One breakdown and marriage ceremony later, they can finally rub it in everyone’s faces that they’re not alone anymore.
3. When tensions in the city rise to dangerous proportions, Hero and Villain agree something must be done to bring peace. As the heads of their organizations, they decide marriage is the quickest and most symbolic bridge they can build between their teams before they rip each other apart.
4. Hero needs financial support and Villain needs a better civilian cover for their villain identity. They’re a match made in…convenience.
5. Hero isn’t exactly friends with villain, but they don’t want them dead either. So when the agency puts a kill order on Villain’s villain persona, they allow them to temporarily crash at their place. But when their colleagues unexpectedly show up they both panic and up lying that they are Hero’s fiancé. Now they’re goinf through with the wedding for the sake of Hero’s honor and Villain’s survival.
6. (A classic) Villain/Supervillain has the means to take over or destroy the city. They will only stand down if Hero agrees to marry them.
7. (Not so classic) Hero has the power to kill/destroy the lives of Villain’s criminal team unless the agree to surrender and marry them.
8. Villain has a dangerous ex who wants to get back together. When Villain panics about what to do, Hero suggests getting married and annulling it later once Villain feels safe.
9. Villain and Hero temporarily team up for the greater good, and go undercover as a married couple. Worried that people might investigate the legitimacy of their relationship, they get married for real.
10. Hero and Villain have had long but not very lucrative careers in their respective roles. They can only afford retirement it if they put their money together, and they figure getting married will simplify the whole thing.
11. When Hero/Villain is going to be forced into marriage, their nemesis offers to step in and marry them instead. Hero/Villain figures anyone is better than their current option and agrees.
12. Villain/Hero accidentally proposes to their nemesis and now they don’t have the heart to tell them it was a misunderstanding. Married life is actually kind of nice.
I like to think maybe when Thomas Wayne was still alive, he was almost as bad as Bruce and his circus crew of children is when it comes to keeping himself alive and Alfred would have to drug him to get him to sleep
Like maybe Thomas was like Tim Drake levels of overworking and shit like that
I also imagine that he hopped and tried to raise Bruce to have some self perseverance but low and behold he’s worse then his father.

They go to a school called Redcreste Academy, a speciality school for children who struggle to control their powers. Not a school for aspiring heroes, a school for children who have been deemed threats.

"You're a child." Villain spat out, horrified as they stared into the wide eyes of their clearly underage rival.
"Wh-no I'm not!" Hero yelped, then winced as the higher pitch gave them away further. They hunched into themselves, subconsciously trying to appear even smaller.
"Where are your parents?!" Villain demanded, storming forward to grab Hero by the shoulders, "do they know you're fu-freaking doing this?!" Angry as they were, Villain tried not to swear - kids didn't need to hear that kind of language, after all.
"..."
Hero averted their watering eyes, trembling as Villain stared them down. They'd never seen the other so furious.
"I don't..." they licked dry lips nervously, "I don't have parents."
Villain's mind went black for a moment, vision filling with the shivering form of the literal child they'd been fighting.
"...you're an Orphan," it wasn't a question, but instead a surprisingly bland statement, "of course you are."
Something in Villain's tone made Hero look up, made them gaze into the unwavering form of their adversary, where they found a glint of determination in the other's eyes.
"Screw it-" they scooped Hero into their arms, ignoring the spluttering and struggling, "you need someone to keep an eye on you, and I've always wanted kids."
"I'm your parent now Hero"
“I can’t let my mom date Villain.”
“Don’t you mean our science teacher?”
"He's a villain. I don't believe that whole 'retired' schtick. Clearly, he's up to something."
"I don't know. I used to fight him, and he was always more of a giant robot and death laser type of guy."
"Tell me, little wolf, do you wish to punish those who have wronged you?" spoke the man, his insidious voice twisting and twining around the hero's ear, the villain's breath ghosting against the back of his neck.
The boy jerked away, shuddering from the terrifying closeness of his enemy, but unfortunately not getting far. The chains that wrapped his wrists and arms, connecting to the floor, prevented him from rising past his knees.
"The only one I want to punish is you!" growled the young hero, eyes narrowed in hate even as fear trickled through his veins, coming to rest in a tight knot within his chest.
The cold metal beneath him bit at his numbed legs. The hero could feel, second by second, drip by drip, his own blood draining from the various wounds inflicted during his latest escape attempt. He swayed, the floor rising to meet him for a split second before he caught himself.
"Oh? And why is that, I wonder," the man said, his tone darkly conversational as he observed the hero's rapidly fading consciousness.
"You took everything from me," said the hero, young voice cracking from an emotion too difficult to name, hatred leaking away to leave exhaustion in its wake, "Why have you never killed me? I've given you so many chances, but you never--!" the hero broke off, shoulders slumping.
"Perhaps this will explain..." responded the villian, coming to a decision as he stood before the tired hero.
Hero heard a soft click and the sound of the villian moving, the rustling of cloth.
"Look at me."
Startled, the hero froze, eyes locked on the grate beneath him. The villians voice was clear, unfiltered by the mask he always wore.
Hero didn't dare look into the villain's face, afraid of what he'd find.
Because he knew that voice. Knew it from a young age. And he hadn't heard it since the day his life shattered.
"Come, little brother, are you so afraid to see your precious big brother's face after all this time?" that familiar voice mocked.
Hero slowly looked up. He had to know. Maybe it wasn't who it sounded like, maybe it was a trick...
But as his gaze slowly traveled up, landing unerringly on the villian's face, Hero's eyes widened. He shook his head in denial, his face crumpling as something deep in his chest shattered
“What is this?”
“My apartment.”
“No it’s not. It’s a violation of human rights. This place is a total dump.”
“Hey, being a superhero isn’t exactly very lucrative. It’s hard to hold on to a steady 9-to-5 when I have to stop you and your friends from wrecking the city everyday.”
“Oh. I…I didn’t know.” Beat. “I could give you some money if you want.”
“I don’t want anything from you! Just, lie down on the couch while I go get the first aid kit from the bathroom.”
“Yeah, I don’t think so. That couch looks like it came from a dumpster. I bet I’ll get tetanus if I so much as touch it.”
“If you don’t like it, you know where the door is.”
“Fine. I’ll lie down on your dumpster couch. Chances are I’ll bleed out before I die of infection anyway.”
“You’re not going to die, unfortunately.”
“I heard that.”
“Good. I meant for you to hear that. Now hold still, this is going to hurt.”

It was their wedding night.
Hero swallows hard, grabbing the white dress and moving away from her nemesis. The only reason why she married him was because of their families, their families who had no idea they were enemies.
"Well," Villain spoke up, turning to his enemy with a wry smile. "That's that. That just leaves us and some traditions. Don't it?" He takes his jacket off, raising his eyebrows at her.
Hero clenched her jaw. "If you think for one second-"
"Relax." Villain rolls his eyes. "I don't wanna do it with you either, it's best I don't really follow traditions."
"Me either." Hero crosses her arms.
"But..." Villain starts. "It is tradition."
Hero looks at him, narrowing her eyes.
"But I'm not evil." Villain scoffs. "That...evil." He corrects.
Hero rolls her eyes.
