Nightwing x reader, reader is a Gotham hero and is captured by the villian of the week and turned into a sexual pet, nightwing rescues reader but only after reader has been changed and cares for the reader, keeping them as his pet while waiting to see if they ever come out of the brainwashing.
Explicit
Somewhat uncomplete for now, this is a first draft of sorts before I finish it and upload it to ao3. This is my first time writing smut so I'm still figuring it out.
There's a villian the bats are trying to take down who is preying on people that are into pet play and that kind of thing. Reader, a hero in their own right and best friend of Dick Grayson, gets taken. The villian brainwashed them and treated them with a combination of Ivy's pollen and other biochemical things to make them pliant and constantly horny, along with some cuddle pollen for good measure.
------
Some of his 'creations' he was selling on the black market as sex slaves as loyal and well behaved as a well trained dog. The bats had been investigating him before reader was taken and found out that he was specifically targeting people that already had leanings towards sexual submission and pet play, as their mind's were more easily broken into the perfect pet and well, as far as the villian was concerned he was only doing them a favor really, saving them from a miserable life as a person when clearly they were meant to be someone's perfect pet.
Why, they 'ought to be coming to him and not the other way around! As a matter of fact, if those troublesome bats, birds, and the GCPD wouldn't stick their ugly noses into it, he'd open a storefront and start putting out advertisements, convince some of those poor pups that they're better off coming to him and letting him turn them into perfect pets then staying in their miserable lives. Of course, there's also the pup's conditioning by modern society and sensibilities to consider, but at least a few would probably come willingly if they knew just how happy they'd be as a pet. Oh sure, the breaking in process is hard, but once they lose all those nasty people thoughts they're always so happy, especially once they go home with their new owner. Why, he's kept a few for himself and his pups are so happy being his and being together, the only thing that could probably make them happier is if he had more time to spend with them but alas all these other pups needed him so he could make them perfect and find them the perfect owner.

The team got to reader before they could be sold but not before the damage was done, with a subdermal tracker kicking in during transport from the "factory" where victims were transformed into pets to the "kennel" where they are held before sale so prospective buyers can inspect the goods. Reader's tracker chip having been blocked out before this by signal blockers that thankfully were stationary to the "factory" and not inside of the transport vehicle, a stereotypical white van that even had the faded logo of a doggy daycare on the side of it. The heroes had been looking for weeks or months by now, and had assumed that the subdermal tracker was long discovered and destroyed, so it was a surprise when it suddenly came back online in the middle of an otherwise boring Tuesday afternoon.
Dick had been close to losing it since reader was taken, his precious best friend and longtime crush he had never had the nerve to confess his feelings for, gone suddenly and maybe for good. Early in the search they found a body, one of the villian's other victims whose buyer had clearly not treated with the care one might give a beloved pet, dumping the bloody corpse of the victim when they were done having their fun. This victim just happened to be a visual match for reader, much to the angst of the heroes when they found them. When dick finally caught a closer glimpse of the face he fell to his knees thanking every God and Deity he had ever heard of as the face he saw was not that of his beloved reader.
Maybe when reader was first rescued the only person they recognized was Dick, and only wanted to be near him. Dick assumed it was just because he was the first person they saw and maybe how close they were, not knowing that reader remembered enough to remember how they felt about him and how badly they had wanted him.
----------
When reader is rescued they are still brainwashed by villian and acting like the perfect slutty pet. Dick has to take care of them during this time and it's awkward for him and he feels like he's taking advantage, especially as reader was being drugged using ivy's pollen or similar and it takes time for it to wear off and work it's way out of their system.
When reader starts to come to and they realize what's happening, they're not fully in control yet, and hear dick talking to them when he thinks they're still asleep and also still brainwashed and probably won't understand him or remember anyway. He talks about how cute they are like this, how nice it is to have them close, how guilty he feels for liking this and how he's trying to savor it before it ends and he loses reader. How he's sure once they come to and realize all the perverted stuff he's done to reader they'll be furious and not want anything to do with him. And at hearing that reader hears how sad he sounds and is moved to do something. As well as turned on by the thought of Dick doing 'perverted stuff' to them.
They act like they're just waking up, shifting slightly and stretching, relieved when they realize that although they are now somewhat aware, their body seems to still be running on instinct. Dick chuckles at the sight of the reader sleepily walking up, and reader feels better having cheered him up slightly and finds themselves wondering how much longer will they be stuck inside their head, and after that what will happen. If maybe they can just pretend to still be brainwashed. Even just for a little while. Their memories of what happened while brainwashed are fuzzy and they'd like to at least experience what it would be like to belong to Dick. Even for a day. Before their best friend realizes that they're back to normal and they have to face him just wanting to be friends again.
How for the longest time they've known that deep down, they're a sub and really want to belong to someone. To be someone's sexual pet. And how, for probably just as long, they've been head over heals in love with their best friends and fellow hero Dick Grayson, Nightwing.
Reader wants so badly to live out this fantasy for a day while being in control, and getting to keep the memories. They're not yet fully in control, but as they are slowly gaining more control they find themself hoping Dick doesn't notice. That he let's them get away with being his pet for just one more day, one day where they can be his good pet and get to fully experience it, one day to cherish in their memories before Dick drops the bomb on them that he's not into them, doesn't wants to be friends anymore after this, or that he only sees them as a friend. Or even maybe that he is attracted to reader, but it's too weird after this, or he's not into pet play and if reader wants, he could be their boyfriend, but he could never be their dom or their owner, no matter how much reader desperately wishes he would be.
As reader is spiraling, Dick notices that something is wrong. At first, his mind doesn't go right to "they're finally mentally waking up from the brainwashing and are upset or confused." He instead gets worried they they are uncomfortable, horny, hungry, or need to use the bathroom.
A bewildered and slightly humiliated reader is taken out of their spiraling by Dick gently putting his hand on their exposed pussy, rubbing gently to provide some stimulation and see if the problem is that they're horny.
They make a surprised sound and buck against him, causing Dick to chuckle as he says to himself "knew it, horny."
And proceeds to start finger fucking reader, who is so surprised they are pulled right out of their thoughts. Dick talks to them throughout, little sweet nothings and praise, clearly thinking that the most they would understand is his tone. Reader tries to say his name as they come but all that comes out is a squeal.
Reader slowly comes to but their body is kind of on auto pilot. After waking up and getting finger fucked by Dick, Dick carries them to the bathroom and bathes them, continuing to talk to them the whole time, just sweet nothings and just talking about nothing.
At some point Dick pulls them out of the tub, dries them somewhat, then, much to their confusion, places them on top of... newspaper??? what???
"C'mon baby, go pee for me, I know you have to go, do your business and be good for me." Reader keens at that and finds themselves squatting and peeing on command for Dick, who brightly praises them
"That's it! That's my good girl! So good for me, going potty on the paper like you're supposed to! Good girl! Good girl!" While he pets readers head and offering a treat, a little piece of chocolate that reader eats out of the palm of his hand without even thinking about it.
Suddenly Dick has reader back in his arms and then places them down on the bathroom counter so he can wash them down there, still praising them the whole time.
"Such a good little pet, going pee on command for me, now stay still for me so I can wash your cute little pussy, yes you're so good! My good girl! Such a good little puppy for me!"
Reader is finding themselves getting more and more turned on, if a little confused and still out of it. They keen and moan and whine, bucking their hips and arching their back, wordlessly begging Dick who only chuckles and kisses their inner thigh before picking them back up bridal style
"Sorry Sweetheart, I need you to eat something before I can give you what you want. Don't worry baby, you'll have what you want soon I promise."
He carries reader to his kitchen and places them in a play pen on the floor with a large pet bed, water bowl, and a few squeaky toys. Reader doesn't even have a chance to think before their scrambling over to the squeaky toys, picking it up in their mouth and shaking and squeaking it, suddenly very happy to be doing so. Dick chuckles "so cute. that'll keep you nice and busy while I make breakfast."
Reader loses themselves a bit in the action of playing with the squeaky toy, finding it the most fun they can rember having and spurred on by the occasional praise from Dick as he cooks dinner on the stove. Slowly though, their stomach begins to rumble as the yummy smells start to hit them. Bacon, eggs, fried potatoes, all their favorites. By the time they hear footsteps approaching they've started to drool a little as they mouth at the chew toy.
They're surprised to suddenly feel something on their head which they quickly realize is Dick’s hand as he pets and scratches at their scalp.
"Hey pretty girl, you having fun with your toy?" Much to their embarrassment they actually bark in affirmation, which Dick answers with a chuckle, saying "Good girl! Your breakfast will be ready in a minute, just gotta let it cool for a minute and then you can have it."
He says this while holding a bright pink dog bowl with something that smells wonderful in it with steam coming off of it. Reader watches as he puts it on the kitchen table before going back to the stove to plate up what is presumably his breakfast.
When he finishes putting his plate on the kitchen table with his coffee and utensils reader watches as he places the dog bowl on the floor by the table, just in his line of sight. He then walks back over to the playpen.
"Alright cutie, you ready for breakfast?" A Yip! is the response he gets, causing him to chuckle as he reaches down and pets reader's head before running his hand down their naked back stopping just before their ass as they shiver slightly.
The toy long forgotten reader goes to the gate of the pen, which Dick opens and reader hardly spares him a glance as they rush on all fours over to the bowl on the floor with the yummy smells. Dick meanwhile goes over to his plate at the table still watching reader's antics.
Reader is surprised to find that the bowl is actually a slow feeder, and that it's filled with a mix of scrambled eggs, various sautéed vegetables including the fried potatoes they had smelled cooking, and bits of chopped up bacon; all cut into small pieces and mixed together which reader quickly discovers taste very well together, although that option might have also been influenced by the thrill that went through them at the thought of eating out of a dog bowl on the floor at Dick Grayson's feet like a loyal pooch, with the only scrap of clothing on their entire body being the collar they could feel upon their neck and which they could heard a metal jingling sound coming from it as they ate, a tag (tags?) being jostled with every move they made.
--------
Later when they have sex: as they orgasm, reader can't help but cry his name. Dick seems to take a moment to realize that the cry was anything more than just a unintelligible cry of pleasure, the likes of which reader has been making the whole time.
"Wait, did you just...? Are you awake?! Oh no, this is the worst time for you to regain awareness! I'm so sorry! You got brainwashed into becoming a pet by a villian!"
"We rescued you but weren't able to get you to snap out of it so I've been taking care of you in the meantime! I promise I wasn't just fingering you while you slept or anything! I mean- uh! You got dosed with sex pollen, a longer lasting variant, and they brainwashed you on top of that to make you constantly horny. I've been having to fuck you every few hours to keep you calm and to keep the fever at bay! I'm so sorry, I wouldn't have done this if it wasn't necessary. I completely get it if you never want to look at me again after this, but I don't regret it because I'd rather lose you as a friend than lose you in general. You're my best friend, and I love you so much, I couldn't bare to see anything bad happen to you!"
"it was bad enough when we realized you were missing, but to realize who had you, that you weren't their first victim and they already had several other victims they were either keeping for themselves or had sold... baby, we found the body of one of their victims right before we found you... she looked like you, had apparently been bought from your captor and the buyer went too far... for a moment there, before we got close enough... the body had your hair color, your skin tone, and they were too bloody to identify right away... I was so scared I lost you, so when I found out it wasn't you, I was so relieved. I swore to myself I'd get you back, I'd find you and do whatever I had to go keep you safe. We weren't sure if it would wear off at first, thought you might be stuck like this. Oh I'm so glad you're awake! I've missed you so much. I've been taking care of you all this time but I missed you."
"D- Dick." You manage to get out. Finding it hard to speak between your recent orgasm and the time spent brainwashed and nonverbal. Dick smiles at you, gentle and so proud of you for just managing to get that one word out, so glad it wasn't a fluke, that he wasn't just hearing things and you happened to make a cry that just happened to resemble his name.
-----------
Maybe reader had a pet or some plants and Dick goes to the apartment to water the plant/ feed the pet/ bring them to his apartment or to the manor so they can be cared for while reader isn't able to, and he happens upon a notebook on reader's bed that he thinks might be case files so he takes a look thinking that and is surprised to realize it's not case notes but a personal diary. Maybe the first thing he sees is something mentioning pet play in such a way that he thinks it could have something to do with the villian who turned reader into this, but instead he slowly realizes he's reading reader's very personal thoughts and feelings and sexual fantasies that they were never able to express outside of writing about them and fantasizing. Maybe they mention buying a collar for themselves just to experiment and Dick finds it.
Wait, what if this happens while reader is missing, Dick searches their apartment for clues and manages to find their diary along with a small collection of sex toys.
Maybe instead of Dick, it's Wally or someone else who finds it, and then feels obligated to tell Dick that reader liked him and was into petplay, when he feels extra guilty thinking that he is taking advantage of his friend.
Maybe when reader was first rescued the only person they recognized was Dick, and only wanted to be near him. Dick assumed it was just because he was the first person they saw and maybe how close they were, not knowing that reader remembered enough to remember how they felt about him and how badly they had wanted him.
Maybe reader finds out that Dick knows how they feel/felt and or went through their stuff when they recognize a toy that they had bought for themselves to experiment with. Maybe it's a cheap knockoff nightwing tag for a dog collar that they had bought for themselves and attached to the makeshift collar they had been using, and they're surprised to see it now attached to the fancy high end collar they're wearing now. And they realize that not only did dick decide to collar them and with a fancy expensive collar at that, but that he must have found their makeshift collar in their apartment and seen the nightwing tag they attached and he actually took it off of the makeshift collar to put it on the fancy collar he's put on reader. Maybe there's another tag more clearly claiming ownership or maybe he actually took the cheap nightwing dog tag and engraved on the back of it with something like "Properly of Dick Grayson"
---------
There's the option that all this gets fixed, or where it doesn't and they live as a pet. Maybe the villian altered their body in ways that prevent them from living normally? Maybe they're stuck walking on 4 legs? The constantly being horny and needy thing doesn't wear off?
Do they decide together that reader will continue to live as Dick’s pet and act like nothing has changed? Do they even tell anyone that reader is cognizant again? Does reader try to return to normal life only to beg dick to keep them? Does Dick decide for reader that they'll go back to normal life and reader struggles and ends up depressed and feeling abandoned and unwanted despite dick thinking this was for the best? Does reader attempt to seek out the villian that did this to them begging him to make the changes permanent, that maybe that way dick will take them back.
Or does dick decide to keep reader regardless of what reader has to say about it? Maybe we find out it was never an accident that reader was captured by the villian, that Dick set it all up and staged the "rescue" so that the other heroes would think that he was only keeping reader to care for them after what happened. Maybe he found out what the villian was doing and had hired him to turn his best friend into a loyal pet.
Maybe Reader tries to return to normal life and even hero work, but can't help but obey Dick like the loyal pet they are.
Maybe the permanent effects include physical issues like not being able to piss unless it's outside or on newspaper or puppy pads and without that they start getting urinary tract infections and other health problems. Maybe its hard for them to clean or feed themselves since their instincts are telling them that their owner should do that. Maybe whenever anyone says anything to them with a certain tone they obey automatically, maybe if someone says "sit" they do so without thinking. Maybe the cuddle pollen effects dont go away and they need near constant contact, or at least for several hours a day. Maybe little things like that keep popping up until dick decides the only option is for reader to return to being his pet, even if in a slightly different way than when they were brainwashed.
