[Pre Night Raven]

▶ In the eyes of your mother, you were a failure.

▶ Once you started going against her, refusing to obey the rules she attempted to enforce on you, resisting the restrictions that she placed upon your life, and yelling at her to leave you alone; making it known to your birth giver that you were your own person, not a trophy for her to display or a puppet to control, She knew it was useless to waste anymore time on you, so she tried again, resulting in the birth of your younger brother: Riddle Rosehearts.

▶ During Riddle's Infancy, you tended to whatever he needed. You changed his diaper, bottle-fed him, played with him to keep him entertained, and sang him lullabies whenever he started getting fussy.

▶ You loved Riddle more than anything.

▶ He was your treasure.

▶ Until Riddle was old enough to start talking, and your mother snatched him away from you.

▶ Since a young age, Riddle was programmed by his mother to see you as a hindrance, an example of what not to become. A stain on the Rosehearts Name. She raised him to despise you as much as she did, or simply ignore your existence like his father did.

▶ However, Riddle found that difficult.

▶ During one of Riddle's Study Sessions, you snuck in while his mother was away to give him something sweet, only to leave through the window before she came back.

▶ During the night, you would sneak into Riddle's Room and tell him stories of your day before ending it with a story. One night, he asked you:

"What's a Jabberwocky?" "The Jabberwocky was a large dragon-like creature that protected the Queen of Hearts, and she loved her Jabberwocky; it was like her best friend." Riddle was silent for a moment before he looked at you with curious eyes. "Are you My Jabberwocky?" You smiled at him. "Yes, My Queen. I am your Jabberwocky, and I'll protect you as best I can."

▶ And you kept your word as best as you could.

▶ You would sneak him treats from the Clover Bakery whenever his mother would restrict food, climbing through the window to make sure that Witch of Roses [That's what you called his Mrs. Rosehearts].

▶ For every one of his birthdays, you would throw a small birthday party with just the two of you. Giving him a small gift that he could hide away.

▶ You purchased a small camera with the funds that you obtained from your part-time job since the Witch of the Roses cut off any access you had to the Rosehearts' Fortune. You took pictures of the brief moments you & Riddle were together; those moments mattered the most to him.

▶ When Riddle followed you outside and befriended Che'nya & Trey, you were pleased. It was like a small life that was his own, and he loved every moment of it.

▶ Until his mother discovered everything.

▶ She was a Tyrant on a Mission: Destroying everything you had built with Riddle.

▶ She ruined Riddle's Friendships with Trey & Che'nya.

▶ She threatened the Clover Family to stay away from Riddle, or she would ruin them. In fear of her influence in the Queendom of Hearts, they complied with her demands, despite the pleas of the children to remain friends.

▶ She found all the gifts you gave Riddle for his birthdays and destroyed them.

▶ You yelled at Mrs. Rosehearts, calling her all kinds of names, telling her you were not going to allow her to destroy Riddle's Life as she attempted to do with yours.

▶ Riddle was a child.

▶ Children get scared by the yelling & constant fighting.

▶ Scared Children do whatever they can to make the screaming stop.

▶ Even if they regret it for the rest of their lives

"OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" "GAHHHH!!!" You dropped to the ground as Riddle's Raw Magic from his attempt to cast his Unique Magic on you failed; the magic, as sharp as wild blades, cut into your body, none giving you life-threatening injuries, but forever yielding the scars of your little brother's choice. "R-Riddle... Why?" You sobbed as you picked yourself off the ground and ran away into the darkness of the storming night as Riddle watched your darkening figure disappear into the moonless darkness, leaving a trail of blood that would forever stain the carpet & his mind. "Good work." His mother's voice called out as she placed her hand on Riddle's shoulder, looking down at him with a smile. "I'm proud of you, Dear." She smiled at him. She was proud of him. He had finally gained his mother's approval. And his Jabberwocky would come back to him. Right?

▶ If only he knew at that moment how wrong he was.

[Post Night Raven]

▶ When Riddle first arrived at Night Raven, he was a simple Heart Card Soldier until he met the current Housewarden of Heartslabyl, Cater Diamond. Disgraced by Cater's Management of Heartslabyul, Riddle challenged him for Heartslabyul's Throne and bested him.

▶ When Cater was defeated, Riddle's Reign began, and he was not a Kind Ruler. During his patrol, he overheard some students talking about a Former Housewarden. A name that he longed to hear again.

"The New Housewarden of Heartslabyul is brutal." "I know. How the hell is he [Name's] Brother?" The mention of that name caused Riddle to march towards the students. "How do you know that name?" "[Name] was the Housewarden of Heartslabyul before Cater. He was one of the best Housewardens on Heartslabyul." "I'm guessing that means that my brother didn't rule properly." "What do you mean? He did everything for us, and he didn't pop off at the smallest things." "WHAT DID YOU SAY?! YOU WILL NOT SPEAK OF MY BROTHER SO CASUALLY!"

▶ Upon learning that you were the Housewarden before him or Cater, Riddle began looking into your time at Night Raven.

▶ You were known as one of the best Housewardens. You were seen as kind, fair, and well-tempered. People came to you for nearly everything, from studies to inviting you to outside events.

▶ People looked up to you as the Perfect Heartslabyul Warden. Everyone loved you.

▶ And Riddle hated that.

▶ No one loved you like he did.

▶ He was your Little Brother, your treasure, your Queen.

▶ And you were his Jabberwocky.

▶ Once he found you again, he would place you under lock & key.

▶ Keeping you safe...

▶ Protected.

▶ Cherished.

▶ Loved.

▶ Just like The Queen of Hearts loved her own Jabberwocky.

"I'll make up for everything she took from us." He smiled at a picture of the album you made for him, the only thing he was able to keep protected from her. Thinking of everything you've done for him played in his mind. And he harmed you for her. A Mistake he planned to correct. "I will find you, Jabberwocky."

“Please…” – begging with pouty lips. – “No!” – Gregory gave you a little shove so you would let go of the curtain. – “Go hide somewhere else.” – he insisted upon, pulling the curtain back. – “Brother.” – you cried out, pulling the curtain back. Gregory kept tugging at it to keep himself hidden.

“Go somewhere else or she’ll find us both!” – with one strong, he shoved you back. Nearly making you trip over your feet. Out of frustration, you stuck your tongue out to him. Gregory stuck his tongue back to you, moving the curtain around him to block you out.

Hearing Hyacinth still count in the fairest distant, you took a run for it. Feet thumping over the floor. Looking at each direction and in every room where you could hide. The door to your sister’s room was slightly open. You came standing in the door opening. Eloise sitting down. Once she saw you, she got up to approach her door.

With a bright smile, you thought you would be invited in. Instead she closed the door on you. Not wanting her littlest brother to bother her. Disappointed you turned around. Hearing Hyacinth’s voice shout out that she was coming.

Gasping in a panic, you started running. For you still needed to find a place to hide. Panting loud, moving as fast as your little feet could carry you. You tried your luck with one of the doors, finding out it was locked. Sighing displeased, you moved over to the next one. Hand grabbing for the handle, but remembering this was your mother’s room, you quickly let go.

Moving backwards as if touching her door was a terrible idea. Spinning round, you went further down the hall. Nearly surpassing it. Making you back-track on it. An open room full of opportunities. Going inside, you closed the door behind you. Back against the frame, you grinned sheepishly. Seeing all of Benedict’s art supplies.

Looking around the room, you thought of a hiding spot. Seeing his easel, you ran over to it. Crawling underneath it. Staying there for a few seconds, till you realized it was a very open spot. Crawling back from underneath it, you hit the easel with your head.

Nearly knocking it over. Seeing the painting nearly fall that was presented on it, made you catch for it. Taking it before it could fully drop to the side. Setting it right, you slowly backed away. To admire his art from a distance. Breathing out a word of astonishment.

Gaze settling on his brushes, you wondered if you could be good too. The game of hiding fading to the back of your mind as you grabbed a paintbrush. Going over to his table, to squirt some paint on a paper. Dapping your paintbrush harshly in it.

All you needed was a canvas to draw upon. Humming curiously, you looked around. Nothing appeared to be helpful. Wandering around the room with your brush up. Paint dipped onto the floor. Leaving specks of colour on the flooring.

Gaze falling onto the wallpaper with small flowers, you moved to it. – “I can paint that.” – you said letting your finger go over the wallpaper. You set your paintbrush on the wallpaper, following the movement of the flower. It was sloppy as the paint was thick and appeared as a big smudge.

“Let me try again.” – you whispered. Going for a second time. It failed again as your hand slipped. Causing a line of colour to strike out. Getting frustrated with each failure, you went for another turn. Painting the wallpaper.

So caught in your drawings, wanting to be much like your older brother Benedict, you didn’t hear the door opening. Benedict entered, eyes widening with horror. Hands rushing up to his hair. – “Y/n!” – he shrieked out in a panic. The sudden voice made you startle. Dropping the paintbrush.

“What have you done!” – Benedict shouted, rushing towards you. He started grabbing handkerchiefs. Dropping to his knees to wipe it over. Only smudging the paint more open. – “No, no-no-no, no!” – he yelped out when it wasn’t working.

“Do you like it?” – you asked bouncing on your feet. – “I am just like you!” – Benedict’s eyes widened. Turning to you with a big sigh. – “Brother…” – he said taking you by your arm. – “Painting is not for on wallpapers. You shouldn’t have done this.”

Pulling you closer to him. Seeing the worry and disappointment in his eyes, made you look ashamed down. – “I…I just wanted to be like you…” – you sniffed out. Benedict pulling you close to his chest. – “I know… I know… I just… I just hope Anthony or mama doesn’t see this.” – he breathed out with concern, knowing they would freak out.

“I’m sorry.” – you said moving an arm around him. Benedict sighed soft. – “Just help me clean this up.” – he spoke. You nodded, helping him out. For how he hoped he would get it off.

------------------------------------------------

A vehicle drives up the driveway up towards a mansion seen ahead of the vehicle's path, passing the gate after it opened to allow the driver inside to drive in after he confirmed his identity. Someone was awaiting him ahead of the driveway.

An excited blonde girl, dressed in casual wear, standing with some others who seemed intrigued to meet this person the girl has talked about a lot.

"Is this him?" Dick Grayson aka Nightwing asked the girl, Stephanie Brown, the hero also known as Spoiler.

"Yes! It's him!" Stephanie looked on with a huge smile, watching the red Honda CR-V pull over ahead of them, the door soon opening to reveal a young man in his 20s, step out the red Honda, his H/C Hair blowing in the wind a little as a smile dawned on his face.

"Sister!" the young man greeted from the opening of his vehicle, closing the door and headed around the vehicle with open arms.

"Brother!" Stephanie shouted with joy, rushing up to her brother with the action of giving him the biggest hug a sister could ever offer.

The man groaned a little from the impact and chuckled, his arms soon wrapping around his sister to hold her tight, he hadn't seen her in a while, a few years in fact.

The only way they could communicate much was through text or calls, sometimes letters if the signal wasn't working, he travelled throughout the world, either cross-country or through air travel.

The pair kept the hug going as the others smiled, happy to see Stephanie all excited again.

"I don't think I've seen Stephanie this happy in a while" Duke whispered to Cassie, who smiled.

"it's nice to see" Cassie said shortly after.

The two siblings broke the hug and smiled at each other, happy to see one another again after a long time, a sigh soon following after.

"I wasn't expecting to see you today" Stephanie said with a huge smile across her lips, eyes beaming with joy of seeing her brother standing in front of her. "You could've said earlier!".

"Haha, sorry. Wanted to keep it a surprise. And I was gonna be travelling back through, so I thought maybe pop in to say hello. Dick kept it all a secret though" he smirked as Stephanie looked shocked.

"You... Traitor" she pouted as Dick laughed softly.

"Can't break a secret, especially if it's a surprise" he shrugged there after as Steph shook her head with a smile. "It's good to see you, Y/N" he approached the man, patting him on the back.

"You too, Grayson" he nodded as he looked to the others. "And these lovely people must be the Bats and Robins I've been hearing about" he looked to the others, as a few looked a little flabbergasted.

"Oh yeah, my bro here knows our... 'Job', he's always known" Stephanie said to the others. "Haven't I already mentioned that?" she looked while pulling a facial expression.

"I... Don't think you did" Duke replied while scratching his head.

"Nah, she did. I remember" Jason approached soon after. The man looked a little intimidating to Y/N for a moment before he wrapped his arm over his shoulder in a brotherly way, surprising Mr. Brown. "So, you're the guy, Steph has been talking about a lot over the past few weeks. I didn't think you were much, but... Maybe I was a little wrong".

"And I assume you're Jason?" Y/N asked, looking up at the man. "Red Hood, right?".

"The one and only" Jason said with a proud grin. "What gave it away?".

"Just what Stephanie has told me about. Tall guy, brawny, has a white patch in the hair and a... A-A jock" Y/N said while a little intimidated.

"Haha, she's right on all those parts" Jason chuckled, letting go of the young man before patting him on the back roughly. "Welcome to the Wayne Manor, if I can be the first to welcome you?".

"Thank you... Jason" the young man said awkwardly, as Stephanie began to push Jason away with some effort.

"Alright, alright" Stephanie butted in, hands raised out while she scooted Jason out of the way, Dick soon followed suit. "I don't want him to be intimidated already by everyone. Let's take it down a notch, Y/N's probably a little too stressed with all the travelling he's done, don't want him intimidated by everyone here. And I don't exactly want him to be stressed or awkward around you all, so... Yeah".

"Still playing overprotective sister?" Y/N asked with a little smirk. "That's one thing I haven't missed about you".

"That's adorable" Tim Drake/Red Robin soon chimed in, as Stephanie began to blush awkwardly. "I didn't know you had it in you".

"Shut it, Tim" she glared at him as Y/N laughed softly.

"You're my sister's boyfriend, correct?" he peeped over Steph's shoulder as Tim nodded.

"Yeah, that's me" he smiled, approaching the man with his hand out for Y/N to shake. "Steph's told me a lot about you, you're a musician from what I've been told". he soon shook Tim's hand as Duke scratched his chin.

"A musician? Huh? I thought he was a cool vigilante to be honest" Duke said aloud as Y/N chuckled at both of the guys.

"I leave that stuff to those capable, like my sister" he placed a hand on Stephanie's shoulder for a moment. "Vigilante stuff ain't my thing, I'm not exactly built for that".

"That's Duke Thomas aka Signal" Stephanie introduced the young man to her brother as he waved. Y/N nodded back toward Duke. "He's newish to the family we've got here... And this girl here -" Stephanie began to push Cassandra up towards Y/N, seemingly shy to meet the brother judging from her expression. "This is Cassandra Cain aka Black Bat, one of my besties" she introduced.

"Hi" Cassie shyly waved.

"Hello, Cassandra" he smiled, waving back at Cassandra before he looked back at his sister. "Where's Damian?".

"He's inside" Jason answered instead of Stephanie. "Don't know what he's doing though".

"Training with Bruce, they've been doing it all afternoon" Dick answered next".

"Ah, Batman" Y/N said with an ecstatic smile growing. "It's still unreal to me that my sister is apart of this family" Y/N sighed happily. "I knew she was Spoiler, but... To be apart of this? It's... Crazy".

"That means you are too" Tim soon spoke up. "If Steph is okay with that?".

"Of course!" Stephanie replied happily. "I'd be happy to allow that" she smiled.

"I'm guessing Barbara is in this... Clocktower of sorts?" he then asked.

"The Belfry? Yeah, that's where she is mostly, working as Oracle" Stephanie then replied.

"Speaking of which, I should probably go visit her" Dick soon began to walk backwards towards the Mansion. "She found something on the sample I gave her last night from my patrol in Blüdhaven".

"Should I tag along?" Jason asked the former Robin as he shook his head.

"No, it's fine. She'll contact you all when she's found something about the lead also, Bruce is still waiting for her response after all" Dick soon walked off.

"Detective work?" Y/N soon whispered to his sister, curiosity in his tone.

"Yeah, pretty much" she soon whispered back. "So uh... How long you planning to stay?".

"A few weeks at best, then I'm along the road. My next trip is planned for Metropolis, then National City at best" he replied with an optimistic tone. "A studio in each city are needing me for my talents for their projects, and I'm also looking to do some more work with my music talents, so...".

"Oh, Metropolis?!" Stephanie perked up at the mere mention.

"Yeah. You seem... Perked up there?" he questioned his sister's action as Jason chuckled.

"Oh yeah, has she told you about her uh... other best friend?" he asked as Y/N realized immediately.

"Oh? Kara?" he blinked a few times. "S-Supergirl, y-yeah, yeah. I know" he looked away for moment, his heart beginning to race. "Steph's told me a lot about her too" his tone turning a little nervous as the others picked up on this.

"Just so you know... He has a little crush on her" Steph told them all loudly as Y/N snapped his head to face Stephanie, his cheeks flushing red completely.

"That's... Adorable" Tim replied.

"Yeah, I guess so" Cassandra agreed

"Stephanie!!" Y/N glared at the girl, frowning at her while trying to fight back his blush. "What was it you said earlier? You didn't want me to feel awkward?!" he scolded as the others laughed and smiled.

"What? It's just a little one..." Steph then began to smirk. "Or is it? You called her pretty cute when I showed you a few pictures of her, even on social media" her devious smirk grew

"Oh this is gonna be good" Jason whispered to the rest, taking in the scene".

"Where's the popcorn when you have it?" Duke joked along with Jason as the two others smiled.

"It's a little one! Just a little crush! Doesn't mean you had to say it out loud in front of them!" he continued scolding her, the red around his face getting brighter as his voice raised louder. "I called her cute because I was complimenting her! I wasn't actually trying to implement something!"

"C'mon! It's honestly pretty cute!" she pouted.

"That's really weird coming from you! Any sibling would say ew to that!".

"Does this normally happen between you two?" Duke then butted in politely as they looked at him together.

"Not much" Steph told him, but Y/N had a different answer.

"Oh yes, it definitely does" he said, still fighting his blush. "She's been non-stop teasing me about it once I told her over the phone".

"You've had this little crush on Supergirl for a long time now, surely it's grown further by now" she teased further, embarrassing her brother more as his blush deepened. "Oh my god... IT HAS!!"  

"Ugh, okay yes, It has! Can we move on?" he asked with the note of wanting to forget about it. "I don't get exactly how this is a big deal to begin with, anyway? It's just a... A simple crush, that's it".

"On someone like her? Oh yeah it is" Stephanie said with a little excitement. "I honestly think you two would be perfect for each other".

"And how exactly?" he asked, his eyes glued on Stephanie as she laughed softly.

Before she could give him her answer, a noise erupted coming from the sky, a sonic boom that got everyone's attention.

"Did I just hear a sonic boom?" Y/N asked. "What was that?" he then noticed Stephanie smirking, as his eyes widened a little. "Steph... Why are you smirking?".

"I... May have told her you'd be coming by today" her expression turned sneaky as Y/N's blush deepened again.

"That sonic boom... Was-" his eyes soon landed on a blonde girl in a red cape descend from the sky feet first with a smile on her face. The S of Hope that was recognizable from anywhere.

"Yep, it's her alright. And she knows by the way" Stephanie smirked and winked before she and the others turned around to see the Girl of Steel herself, slowly descend from the sky, while Y/N had the privilege on seeing her descend fully, 

The wind picked up her hair and cape gracefully, along with her skirt, giving her the "golden girl" moment in his eyes as everything seemed to fade out of existence, with only Supergirl in his view.

"Hey everyone!" Kara soon landed on her feet, fully descended down as she went to hug Jason. "Hey big guy, been a while".

"Sure has, Kara, it sure has" Jason replied happily, accepting her hug before it broke, as she went to greet the others.

"Hey there Timmy" she waved as he waved back. "Duke, Cassie" the two others also waved back at her before her eyes landed on Steph. "Stephie!!" Kara ran up to her normally with open arms as the two girls hugged tightly.

"Oh geez! You're squishing me!" The blonde bat managed to speak through.

"Oh? Sorry!" Kara giggled, easing her strength around Stephanie's figure. "Been busier than usual lately, sorry I haven't been able to hang out often. Especially when Kal is busy outside Metropolis" she began gossiping towards her best friend.

"It's no big deal, Kara. It's totally fine" Stephanie smiled back at Kara.

Kara was about to reply back to Stephanie before her eyes landed on the boy who stood a few feet to Stephanie's right, grabbing her attention afterwards as he stood still... Eyes slightly widened as he stared at her.

"Is this your brother?" Supergirl looked at Stephanie for confirmation, smiling with a joyful expression. "He looks cuter up close" she says, snapping Y/N out of his little daydream with his ears flushing red.

"Yeah! That's him alright!" she giggled softly. "Kara, this is Y/N, the boy who has definitely not been crushing on you for the past few years" she sought to tease him further as Kara softened her expression, laughing softly.

"He seems pretty embarrassed, poor guy. Don't tease him like that, Steph" she expressed sympathy, before giving him a smile. "Hi, Y/N" she waved, her smile softening with a soothing tone.

"Uh-Uh..." he stuttered. "H-Hi" he soon waved back, blinking a few times before he began smiling himself. "I... I didn't expect you, I mean, I. Ugh".

"You didn't expect to meet me, you mean?" she was surprisingly patient with him, smiling away at his expression and awkwardness.

"Y-Yeah, that's what I meant" he nodded, looking down at the floor.

"We're gonna head inside, let you and those two alone with each other" Jason suggested as he began walking back to the Manor. "I gotta clean my guns, they're needing a clean".

"We'll get Alfred to come help bring in your belongings!" Duke offered while they all began returning to the Manor, leaving the two girls and one boy alone together.

"Thanks Duke" Y/N replied to him as he awkwardly looked back at the girls.

Silence fell within Y/N as he tried looking into Kara's eyes but couldn't bare to do it, standing in front of the girl he crushed on for the last few years, had him a little uneasy. He almost cursed out Stephanie for suggesting his crush come to visit.

"So, I heard a little bat told me you have a crush on me, it's pretty cute, not gonna lie" Kara soon brought up. "If it makes it any better, I follow you on Vintagram and Facelook, I like your music as well, you're incredible" she smiled, breaking the silence.

"Danvers, right?" he asked with a blush rising, having built up some courage to look at her in the face".

"Mhm, K.Danvers_749 and Kara Danvers" she said softly.

"Oh! That makes sense!" he replied with a soft chuckle. "And... Thank you. I don't really think I'm incredible, but thanks".

"Are you kidding?" Stephanie said aloud. "Of course you're incredible! The fact your crush thinks so too, is saying much!" she teased at the end.

"Steph.." he looked away from sheer embarrassment while smiling, while Kara giggled softly.

"I think you can quit teasing him now, Stephie" she soon spoke. "The elephant has been addressed in the air already, as much as it is charming to hear he has a crush on me" she blushed herself too.

"You should've seen her face when I showed her your picture for the first time" she whispered into Y/N's ear, as Kara looked at Steph with a glare.

"I heard that" she crossed her arms with a frown. "And I don't know what you're talking about".

"Girl, you called him cuter up close earlier" Stephanie grinned. "There's no point hiding it now, I can see you two being perfect for each other" she said to the both of them, as they both blushed ear to ear.

"Are you saying... Supergirl has-".

"Mhm" Stephanie confirmed. "She sure does".

Y/N scratched the back of his neck as Kara hid her face in her hands, now regretting to have flown on by to meet HER crush for the first time. Now the two awkward as anything as Stephanie softly laughed.

"You both should see your own faces right now, oh my god" she reveled. "I'm so sorry, I couldn't help myself. It's the fact you're both meeting for the first time too".

"I mean, he was gonna find out sooner than later, but I would've told him" Kara said, frowning. "But it's okay, it's kinda cute seeing him flushed, it's pretty attractive" she smiled.

"You're... Attractive yourself" Y/N said back to her with a soft and nervous chuckle.

"Aww, cute" Stephanie joined her hands together in awe, teasing the both. "Won't be long until you both start kissing" she blurted out innocently, making the two blush deep. Y/N looked away with a embarrassed smile growing on his face.

While Kara slightly giggled softly, looking at him, practically hearing his heartbeat racing before her eyes caught the red Honda. "Is that your guitar in there?" she spotted, trying to drive the conversation out of the awkward moment they both felt.

"Oh?" he turned around. "Yeah, I brought my guitar in that case, two guitars actually. Brought some other belongings as well. I'm staying here for a few weeks before I travel again" he informed the Girl of Steel, his words perking her ears up with curiosity.

"He's going to Metropolis in a few weeks as well" Stephanie winked at Kara's direction, surprising her. "And National City"

"Wait, really?! I could help get you there" she offered before retracting herself, connecting her hands together shyly. "Um... If you want me to help?".

"I mean... I dunno how you'd be able to help, but the offer does sound nice" Y/N replied with a chuckle. "I'll think about it" he smiled as an elderly man was seen walking up to the three with Duke Thomas, Y/N assumed it was the Butler he had been hearing about from Stephanie. "Alfred Pennyworth, it's good to meet you"

"Mr. Brown. It is lovely to meet you" the British Butler greeted the young man back. "Master Thomas had informed me of your arrival, shall I assist in bringing in your belongings to the guest room?" the man offered.

"Thank you, leave the guitar to me though, it is quite a heavy load" Y/N suggested. "They're in the boot and thank you, again" he used his car keys to open the boot remotely, allowing the Butler to help out.

"I could carry it in if you want?" Duke offered. "Can't be that heavy right?".

"Be my guest" he scooted to the side of his car, opening the back door.

"And Ms. Danvers. It is lovely to see you too, quite an unexpected visit" he greeted walking past Kara as she smiled back at him.

"Just popping in to say hello, and get to know Stephanie's brother" Kara replied, watching the scene unfold in front of her as she kept her eyes on Y/N only.

"Huh? I see the way you're looking at him. Are you gonna ask him out?" Stephanie scooted to Kara's side as she looked at her shocked, while Y/N thought about Kara's offer for a moment

"No! I did not ask him out there!" she began blushing again. "I swear to Rao! Stop! You're embarrassing me".

"You could ask him out, y'know? He's right there!" she gestured toward Y/N, helping Duke pull out the case his guitar is in.

-"I told you it's heavy"-

Kara fell into silence, thinking about the mere thought. Sure it would be nice to be in a relationship, and be dating a young man, but she feared she'd put his life in danger if so.

"And put his life in danger?" Kara whispered back. "I-I don't know" she bit her tongue.

"Who says you would? It's not like the public is gonna know Supergirl is dating a normal guy, a guy like my bro!" Stephanie peered as Kara sighed. 

"It's not just that, it's if any villains find out who I am without wearing the cape, they'll go for my loved ones, and Y/N would be on that list if I were to date him. I like him, don't get me wrong, but..." she sighed again. "I don't know if I'm worth it and we just met, so...".

"Look, I know dating while being a superhero is... Hard, I get that, been there, done that, which you already know, but... This is Y/N we're talking about, this guy has a crush on you, my own brother has a crush on you. I think he'd be happy to date you. He did go through a bad breakup some time ago, but if he was to date you? I think it'd make him a little more happier" she leaned on Kara's shoulder with her arm.

"You sure?" Kara said with unsurety.

"Yeah, very" Stephanie nodded. "I just think you two would be great together, you always wanted to date a musician, didn't you not?".

"Okay, okay, I'll ask him" Kara smiled softly with a sigh and a blush across her cheeks. "Rao, why am I listening to you, Steph?".

"Because you know I'm right!" she said with optimism. "Now, go ask him! While you've got the chance!"

Kara cleared her throat and took a deep breath, beginning to approach Stephanie's brother as he helped out Duke.

"And you carry this everywhere with you?!" Duke said while trying to hold it above the ground.

"To be fair, it's carrying two guitars, so..." Y/N replied to him.

"I've noticed!" Duke says with a little effort. "Don't worry, I can manage!" he said.

"Suit yourself" Y/N raised his hands up while backing off, turning around to see Supergirl having approached him. "Oh! Uh... Hi" he smiled softly, standing in Kara's presence as she smiled back.

"Hi" she waved back with a cute smile across her cheeks. "So... Uh... Y/N, I want to ask you something" she said with a rise of red in her face, maintaining eye contact.

"Uh... S-Sure?" he said nervously. "You can ask me a-a-anything" he nodded vigorously as he noticed Kara's hands were at the corners of her cape, fiddling around.

It was there she fell completely silent, the red in her face rising further up her cheeks before she looked away shyly with a cute embarrassed expression along with it.

'Oh Rao, Rao. I'm gonna screw this up!' she thought quietly, beginning to get a little overwhelmed by the thought.

Kara cleared her throat, trying to regain her composure as Y/N just looked at her in awe, waiting for her question to be asked. "Um... Would you..." she soon laughed softly with a nervous tone. "Would you... Like to, go out sometime? For lunch, or d-d-dinner perhaps?" she smiled awkwardly before burrowing her face into her hands as Y/N just stared at her with shock written all over his face as she took one look and began stuttering. "Omigod, omigod! You-You don't have to say yes, Steph thought it'd be a great idea for me to-".

"Like a date?" Y/N looked for confirmation if his hearing was deceiving him.

"Y-Yeah. A... A date" she fiddled with her cape even more, bringing the soft fabric out further as she looked down to the floor in sheer awkwardness.

"Yes" he said one word, one word and it completely baffled her. Making her recollect her words and thoughts. "Y-Yes! Of course! I'd... I'd love that".

"Really?" she said with hope in her tone, ecstatic at his answer. Y/N's cheeks flashed red with a smile, nodding towards her gently. "Lunch or... Dinner?" she then asked curiously as he thought about it.

"I think dinner sounds nice" he nodded before thinking on it more. "To be honest? I don't know where to go for dinner though" he chuckled.

"I... I think I have an idea" Kara thought of a brilliant idea before looking at Stephanie, giving her a nod of approval as she rushed over.

"He said yes?!" Stephanie looked like an excited puppy at this point, looking at both of them each second.

"Mhm" they both said in unison before Stephanie hugged the two together in joy and unexpectedly.

"You two are gonna be FREAKING CUTE TOGETHER!! OH MY GOD! WAIT UNTIL I TELL THE OTHERS ABOUT THIS!" she shouted with joy as Y/N held his right ear.

"Calm down, Steph. Any more louder, you're gonna burst my ear-drum" Y/N blurted out.

"What he said, and the last time my one burst was fighting Banshee" Kara added.

Stephanie broke the hug the two were forced into and giggled. "Sorry, I got a little too excited there, did I?".

"A bit, it's nice seeing that side of you" Kara complimented.

"I used to think it was annoying and it still is" Y/N said smugly, as Steph blew a raspberry at him.

"Shut it, you, I just scored you a date with your "super" crush, Kara, my best friend. You owe me" she said with a smug look in her expression.

"Ugh" Y/N groaned. "Bite me".

"Hey, you three!" Just as the two girls giggled, Duke had come back outside to meet with the three with an offer from Pennyworth. "Alfred is making tea, he was wondering if you wanted one or not?" he asked the group.

"Hmm, that sounds nice" Stephanie thought about it. "Yeah, sure!".

"Sounds nice to me as well, could have a cup" Y/N sighed happily, nodding in approval.

"He also offered to make one for you too, Supergirl" Duke then faced the Girl of Tomorrow, who looked blissful at the offer.

However... Just as she was about to reply, her expression changed to that of seriousness, her super hearing picking up commotion happening in Metropolis from where she stood, pushing a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.

"I'm so sorry" she then sighed. "Duty calls, I have to decline, maybe next time though" she said with a disappointed tone before facing towards Y/N. "How does Saturday feel? Six O'clock?" she asked him, grabbing his attention fully when Steph elbowed him gently.

"Uh... Yeah, sure. Saturday would be nice, six is fine with me too" he smiled in her direction as Duke looked at the pair confused.

Stephanie saw this and scooted over to Duke's side. "She asked him out just earlier".

"Already?" he asked her back, with Steph nodding very happily. "Anyways, I'll just let Alfred know to not make a tea for Supergirl" he said, returning to the Manor soon after.

"I'll pick you up" she winked and began hesitating, she then gave in and gave him something to remember her by for now, a cheeky kiss on the cheek as Y/N's eyes widened. Stephanie's jaw dropped with a gasp. "I'll see you on Saturday" Supergirl levitated up, smiling at his expression. "Bye Y/N! Bye Steph! Speak soon!" then... She took off, a sonic boom soon erupting in the sky.

"Oh. My. God?!" Steph approached her brother, looking at the cheek Kara kissed him on. "That was a... Kiss on the cheek! Already!!".

"Why are you so excited about that?" Y/N shook his head with a slight smile, softly placing his fingers where Kara kissed him. "It was just on the cheek" he said with a blush rising up.

"Still! She's into you, man! Like I said. You still owe me though" Stephanie leaned on his shoulder.

"Can you just... Take me to the guest room?".

"Okay... But you will tell me how the date goes on Saturday, or I'll pry it out of Kara" she winked.

"What do I owe you, anyway?" Y/N then asked with a deadpanned look.

"Hmm... You'll see"

Fin

.Kokushibo had not cared for his brother when they were both human, but when he died, he did mourn his brother.

.So when he met you, a young man who was identical to his brother, he would have frozen in place.

.Of course, he is also receiving Muzan's PTSD, but he is also seeing his brother alive again.

.He would fully accept that you are his reborn brother.

.He would want to take you with him right now, but that meant he ran the risk of you dying.

.No, he would have to get close to you to make you a demon like him.

.He would ask you for your name, and you were oddly not afraid of the demon; it felt like you knew the tall demon.

.When he learns your name, he tests it on his tongue. You were not given the same name as your past life, but he would prefer it that way. It was a fresh start.

.He starts to visit you every night, and you become comfortable with him in your life.

.He spends his time making you a new gift, a wooden flute, but this one is crafted with such skill that it is perfect. .He saw the same love you had for the gift as you did in your past life.

.He knew then and there he would have to keep you there; he had to protect you and not let you die.

.To do that, he decided to train you in Moon breathing.

.It would be too dangerous to teach you sun breathing.

.He would be the platonic yandere that is teaching you to be like him.

.So that you will be more willing to become a demon.

.He lost you once, and he is not going to let you die again.

.He is a protective yandere of you, and he wants to keep you safe and sound.

.The stronger you get, the more he becomes ready to turn you into a demon.

.He does not stand for you to have someone in your life.

.Yes, he only sees you as his brother, but he is not going to let you have a love life.

.The idea of some whore taking you away from him, where you and he could be brothers.

.He will not stand for that, and he will kill every lover you took on.

.He does this in a way where you will not realize it was him doing it.

.Anyone who dares to try and steal you from his side will be killed. He did not care if they were a normal human, a demon slayer, or even another demon.

.You are his brother to protect, and he is not making the same mistakes he did with you all those centuries ago.

.He is a completely platonic yandere and sees you as his younger brother, and it is his job to protect you and keep you safe.

.No one else could be trusted, and he would trust no one else, not even Lord Muzan himself.

.Once he tells you that you are his reborn brother, he changes you into a demon.

.At this point, you had mastered moon breathing, and he made you a sword.

.He waits the three days for you to be awakened as a demon.

.He had Muzan erase your memories, and what he told you when you became a demon was that you were his brother, and you and he worked for Lord Muzan.

.He has you now, and he will have you become his equal so that you can never ever die at the hands of any demon slayer.

-Small Scenario Time- (You are his Reborn Brother) (Meeting You) (No One's POV) You were out fishing at night, and you needed to get some food, as today you had worked extra hard in town. All the shops were closed by the time you were done with work. So you went home, grabbed your fishing rod and a lantern. Make your way to the nearby lake. You were more worried about bears than you were about the creatures that could be in the dark. You were no longer a scared little boy anymore, but a calm young man.

That is when you heard something nearby, then it went dead silent. It was not just the bushes that stopped moving, but all of nature had stopped as well. The crickets stopped, and there was nothing but dead, still air all around you. "You should not be out at night." A Man says from behind you, and you whip around. It was too dark to clearly see his face, but you swore that man had 6 eyes and not two. "Who are you?" You ask, trying to keep your voice calm. You could feel his eyes narrow on you. "You look... Like him." He says and grabs your face, tilting it left and right and then up and down. "What is your name?" You knew that this man was not human, and you knew better than to anger this creature. "(Full Name)." You gave your full name. He stares at you. "I am Kokushibo, and I will be keeping an eye on you, (First name)." He was using your name like he was familiar with you, and you could not help but feel familiar with him.

You both wonder why you both felt familiar to each other. Kokushibo moved away away but he watched you, and made sure you made it home safe with the fish you caught. He needed to know more. Was it possible that you were his reborn brother?

That is when it hit him, that had to be it. You were the spitting image of his twin; you even had the same marking. Which means you were reborn. Right?

You would taste the familiar bitter tang on your tongue at hearing about Aegon's visits to the streets of silk.

 You wished your younger brother would not lower himself to the level of sleeping with whores.  Despite many men of royal and noble status alike doing so it always burned at the thought of Aegon being one of them.

You knew you could not take it out on Aegon, you could never lay a hand on him that would harm the younger man.

You would be tempted, so very tempted to set fire to those establishments to prevent further visits, but you also knew that was unreasonable.

However, perhaps, slipping something in Aegon's wine to make him take some much needed rest at home would quell the man's visits for a night or two, the thought would run through your mind.

Aegon would notice his older brother standing in the doorway of his chambers, one foot in the door as it was obvious you were deep in thought.

He stretched out on his bed, his movements much like a cat's in its grace before calling out to you,

“Oh, come now, brother. I am twenty of two, you must realize I can take care of myself.” Aegon knew very well you disliked his visits to the brothels of streets of silk. 

It was hard to miss with the way he always seemed to grow tired after mentioning how he was planning on visiting the establishments, though Aegon could not prove your involvement in it.

He was not sure he wanted to know. You were the only one who seemed to care and despite hating being manipulated, he did not want to lose your care. 

It took less than a moment for you to cross the room, kneeling next to his bed as you carefully worded your response,

“I realize this, Aegon, but you can not blame me. There have been more robberies as of late on those streets.” 

“And so? I do not carry valuables with me there.” Aegon retorted, running his hand over his face as he slowly sat up.

You pursed your lips into a thin line wanting to bark out that Aegon was valuable, more than any jewels that could be stolen, but you held back not wanting to cause your younger brother to withdraw from you. 

“I just wish you would be more aware of your surroundings,” You stated carefully, leaning over to cup his cheek within your palms, the touch gentle yet firm, keeping his attention.

Aegon allows you to touch his face, subtly leaning it into your touch, letting out a heavy sigh at your relentless concerns.

 "Why are you worried?” Aegon questioned, his violet eyes flickering over your expression, a slight unease settling into his mind at the thought of you thinking that he was dangerous.

“Do you worry that I might harm them?" The question slipped from the princes’ lips.

You paused, not wanting to admit that you could care less of the whores and their wellbeing.

 You knew it was wrong to hold little regard for the whores, and you would never admit that out loud.

"Not at all, brother." You responded after a short pause, your thumb rubbing gentle circles into his cheek causing Aegon to slightly nod in response, a sigh of relief escaping him.

Aegon is silent for a moment, his violet eyes watching his brother's face, a slight frown tugging at his pouty lips.

"Then… why, I do not understand." He mumbled out, his eyes fluttering closed, his head far too cloudy to focus on arguing,

 "But if it is truly so much to you, I will not go. I promise.” The words left his mouth despite the bitter taste from how easily he had given them, Aegon hated it, and sometimes he wondered if he hated you.

Though, he already knew the answer to that.
