Number 8 in the wip game
"Meet Me in the Middle": A Billy + SuperSons fic! They're all the same age.
Damian and Jon want to go to the same school. While Bruce and Clark are glad that their sons became friends, they don't exactly want their sons to go to a school in the other's city.
Clark is a bit skeptical about sending Jon to Gotham every day because it's Gotham, and it will take Damian hours to get to Metropolis from Gotham. No, he won't be taking a plane or helicopter just to go to and from school every weekday. Do you know how much pollution that would make? And no Clark, you can't fly Damian either, that would draw too much attention.
They try to find a middle ground, maybe a school somewhere in between their paths. Ultimately, they choose one somewhere near the middle of their destinations. It's in Fawcett City, home of their most cheerful coworker.
Damian thinks he'll use this as an opportunity to uncover the Captain's secret identity, he let it slip once that he did have one. He'll do the one thing his father couldn't, but he'll need an excuse to spend more time in Fawcett outside of school. Maybe it'll be under the guise of making a new friend. Hmmm yes, this kid in the red sweater will do.
Jon is more than happy to see Damian gain an interest in making new friends. Billy seems like a fun guy to hang out with, he'll befriend him too!

Billy: *Overhearing Superman and Batman talking about how excited Superboy and Robin are to go the same school together*Good for them, good for them
Billy: *Suddenly remembering that conversation after becoming friends with the only kids from Metropolis and Gotham* đ˛
Idk where exactly the cities are but I know that Gotham City is in New Jersey, Metropolis is in New York, and Fawcett City is in Pennsylvania.
Metropolis will be in more north of New York, Gotham more south in NJ, and Fawcett will be next to where the three states meet.
Here's a map to be more helpful (will most likely move Metropolis and Gotham to be closer to Fawcett but you get the idea):
I started watching dexter and itâs genuinely wild shit. His inner monologue will be like âthis would be considered a kind action, if I had a heart. But unfortunately, I feel nothing inside. My chest is an empty cage, with no warmth inside itâ and heâs doing some shit like saving a puppy that almost got run over or something
i love watching namra in the back of scenes. shes literally always just standing there like a goddamn horror movie character perfectly still, and then suhyeok walks up and is like "hi wifeyâ¤, are you doing okay? do you need some water? i love you." and she keeps standing there but she's happier.
Angst idea for billy batfam: for whatever reason billy is given a punishment from Bruce: no magic until told otherwise. No spells. No heroing. No magic
The problem is that Bruce doesn't understand magic and doesn't understand that billy isn't like zatanna or constantine, he can't just not do magic. 6 gods, the living Lightning and the magic of eternity all bottle up inside a malnourished little kid? It'll burn him alive
but... he's learned better than say no to a pissed off adult
The gods make the executive decision: billy can't stay here. Not anymore.
Ooooh this is good. Thank you for the ask!
Oh, the âno heroingâ punishment alone is bad. Because that infringes on his responsibilities within the Magic community. He has work to do damnit!
But no magic? That is basically a death sentence. No joke, asking someone who is so intrinsically tied to magic to NOT use it, is not going to end well.
And the worst thing is, Bruce thinks this is for the best. He still doesnât get magic after so many years because he doesnât want to. All magic brings is chaos and a headache. He toned his hate down for Billy, but itâs still there. Heâs worried that magic will ruin his new sonâs life, so he decides to separate them, like you would your kid from a toxic friend.
But itâs eating Billy up inside. Now, he has voices in his head yelling at him to use his powers. He has magic practically boiling within his very core, hitting along every inch of his inner muscles. He feels like heâs burning up. Like heâs eaten so much that he canât eat anymore.
Still, he doesnât say anything. He knows better. After so many foster and group homes that promise theyâll be better than the last, this one feels different somehow. He has hope. Itâs not a lot, but itâs there. If he says or does anything to ruin that, itâll only be his fault.
But his patrons think otherwise.
They acknowledge that these vigilantes have good intentions, for humans. But ultimately, Billyâs wellbeing matters the most. And if he continues to not use his magic, he wonât survive to the next year. Itâs like asking him to not take medicine. To not sleep. To not eat or drink.
At some point, the Batmanâs intentions donât matter. Billy needs to go to the Rock immediately. Zeus apologizes profusely before piloting his body and teleporting all the way to the Subway to Eternity.
He canât stay, they tell him. And, despite wanting a family more than anything, Billy knows theyâre right.
*cue Captain Marvel avoiding being in a room alone with Batman and any of his batgirls or robins.*
OK but honestly, Hyde saying
when last season he explains to Jackie he uses that phrase so no one knows what he means
also further contextualizes Jackieâs excitement at those words
combined with the fact that he has an armour of ambiguity that he teaches her
and that is his signature
that he gets over in season 5 because sheâs important enough for him to be decisive and direct with his emotions?
Sorry, Iâm just falling in love with this ship again.

i'm sorry if it looks a little weird or inconsistent, my wrist is still a little sore
or, Billy Batson's Unwilling Observation of his Adultâ˘ď¸ Coworkers Love Lives
Bruce and Diana do not change at all, and they notice this of each other. You know who else isn't affected though? That's right. Billy Captain Marvel Batson himself.
See, Bruce and Diana are pretty smart, so they realize that the only reason they both aren't reacting is because they are both in love with Clark, obviously.... which means their coworker Captain Marvel must be in love with him too.
Bruce: I've gathered you all here today because I've noticed that all three of us are acting normal around Superman. Diana: It appears so. Billy: ?!?!?! Are we supposed to be acting weird? Diana: we will fight to the death for superman's affection Bruce: agreed Billy: WHAT IS GOING ON?! Diana: ???? He was hit with a love spell. Specifically, a spell that makes everyone else love him. Billy: HE WAS?!?!?!?! Diana: Bruce: [Bruce & Diana, exchanging looks] Bruce: You wouldn't happen to be... immune to some spells, would you? Billy, taking the out: YES. YES I AM. Diana: Oh Bruce: Oh Billy, vibrating with secondhand embarrassment: I'm. I'm just gonna leave. Diana: ...ok Bruce: (internally screaming)
Iâve been logged out of my Spotify and didnât save the password if I donât get back in Iâm going to cry I need my music
Day 5 of Billy Batson week, this one is dedicated to all the 12 year old Dad Billy AUâs out there, especially when Konâs the one being adopted
Also I really want to know what the salary of a justice leaguer would be, is it a 401k? Can it support one person or a family? Or is it just above minimum wage? Do they even get dental?
