Yeah sure!! So I’m currently TBD about who Irey, Colin, and Milagro end up with, so idk about them, but here is everyone else:

Also here are their ages: Echo (8) Coro (6) Mai (5) Apollina (5) Zara (3) Leo and Thea (2) Ayko (1), Luna (1), Astra (0)

Lian x Jai

They have fraternal twins named Leo and Thea, who are both speedsters.

They have them around 2 years after they’re married, and they’re a surprise.

They are a chaotic duo and take after the other two sets of speedster twins, and they also know archery which makes them ever more all over the place

Leo is more into archery while Thea does more knife throwing type stuff.

They both are heroes and want to follow in their parents footsteps.

Maps x Damian

They have a girl and a boy, Zara and Ayko.

Zara is Robin for a little while and then has her own mantle (unsure on what that other mantle is)

She’s all over the place and doesn’t like things to be the same too much.

She loves to travel with her family and friends (which they do a lot)

Ayko does some hero stuff, but mostly likes to make tech/do computer and undercover work.

He is a bit more grounded, but also is 100% sarcasm.

Kathy and Maya

Apollina has invisibility powers and was training to be an assassin, but her caretaker/trainer dies when she’s 4 or 5, so when Kathy and Maya meet her on a mission, they know they have to adopt her.

She is clever and snarky and stubborn and very headstrong too.

She decides to become a hero as a way to show that she isn’t what she came from and that she is her own person and can do good.

Luna is Kathy’s bio daughter and has her powers, she also works in the field and is an absolute sweetheart.

Both the girls love nature and being outside, and like animals and playing outdoor sports.

Mar’i and Jon

They have 2 abopted kids who are half siblings on their moms side, Astra and Coro, who are 6 and 4 when they are adopted

They had an accident when they were 0 and 2 which gave them powers and the rest of their lives they were hunted for them and on the run.

Astra doesn’t do really any hero work just bc it’s not something she wants to. She can control objects

She is a sweet kid, but also likes to cause some trouble. She is very curious and always on the move lol

Coro asks questions every chance he gets, he is very high energy, but also enjoys to just sit and read or draw sometimes too. He does become a hero, and can manipulate elements

Astra is very all over the place, she is very sweet, but also very sarcastic and questions and debates everything, she has a bit of both her parents powers, she can fly and has super senses and can make starbolts and has more emotional based powers, she becomes a hero too.

Tai and Sin

They have a daughter named Mai.

She is a 3rd generation green lantern.

This girl is very on top of things until she forgets exactly what it is she’s doing. She is very optimistic and a great conversationalist.

—————————

To say Damian, Maya, and Sin had unusual childhoods would be an understatement. The things they learned to do, were forced to do, and experienced go beyond anything their teammates grew up with. Not a bad thing, but definitely isolating at times.

How do you explain to people that their lives have a price? That they can be cut down before they realize what’s happening? How do you, a child, explain to an adult that you needed protecting long ago; no one came then, why now be different.

They understood each other.

Once a month, the three of them meet up. Always on a rooftop, always in their civilian clothes. They trade off on who brings snacks and drinks. Sometimes they’d just talk about what was going on in their lives. Sometimes they’d confess to the things they did, the things they witnessed, the things they experienced.

Then there’s times like this.

“Alright, Damian,” Maya points a celery stick at him, “Dream job?”

“Easy. A vet.” The boy wonder sips his water, not bothering to hide his grin. “Figure working with animals is better than humans. What about you, Sin?”

“Oooof…A streamer, possibly a video game designer.” Sin catches the sandwich Maya tosses at her. “Maya?”

“Kathy and I have the flower shop. That and the farmers market so we’re set.” Maya feels her heart flutter at her girlfriend’s name.

“Branden is treating you properly, correct?”

The girls snort at Damian’s question. Maya throws an orange at him, “Yes, Dames, she’s wonderful. Just because we were betrothed doesn’t mean you have to worry.”

“Oh, I worry for Branden’s safety, frankly.” He grins and throws the orange back at her, “Have you thought about marriage—“

“If you’re asking, Dames, I hate to break it to you—“

“-tt—“

“Ooooo,” Sin laughs, “You got a -tt- out of him.”

“What I meant was ‘have you thought about marrying anyone in the future?’” Damian asks.

Maya smiles warmly, looking down, “Yeah. Kathy and I have already talked about it. She wants to get married in a few years.”

“Have you talked about kids?” It’s Sin’s question this time. Maya nods. “And?”

“We both want them, which we knew before we started dating. We even talked about some names.” Maya nudges the other girl’s foot with her own. “What about you? Kids? A partner?”

“Nah. I have you guys, my parents, and now Connor.” Sin grins, still thrilled to have a brother…even if he’s from another dimension, “I have a lot of things I want to do…and honestly I don’t think kids or a partner are part of those plans.”

“That’s fair.” Damian looks out on the city, his leg dangling over the edge. Relaxed, Maya and Sin can understand why people find him attractive. Handsome isn’t the right word in their opinions. Beautiful fits better.

“What about you, Damian?” Maya asks.

“What about me?”

“Do you want kids one day?” They weren’t really sure what to expect. A smile plays on his lips and, surprisingly, he nods.

“Really?” Sin feels his forehead, “Maya, I think he’s hallucinating—“

“Oh, fuck off.” Damian laughs, swatting her hand away. “It’s not that important”

“For other people maybe. For us…” Maya doesn’t finish her sentence. She doesn’t need too. “Would you want a boy or a girl?”

Considering the question for a moment, Damian shrugs, “I believe I’m supposed to say ‘I don’t care so long as they’re healthy.’ Which is true.”

“But…” Sin presses.

“….I would like a daughter.”

For whatever reason, the image of Damian with a baby girl makes them laugh. Not meanly, never that, but for whatever reason, if he had a child, they would have thought he’d want a boy more than anything.

“A little girl, huh?” Maya teases, “Sure you can handle that?”

“Yeah, tea parties can get intense.”

Chuckling, Damian just shakes his head, “I have a younger sister and three nieces. I’m accustomed to more ‘girly’ things than you might think. In any case, Mar’i made me do tea parties with her when we were young.”

“I’m almost afraid to ask,”Maya snorts.

“Well, if I ever rejoin the League of Assassins, Tamaran will be a neutral force. All it took was three chocolate chip cookies and mustard.” They laugh at that image. Damian and Mar’i might refer to themselves as uncle and niece, but they behave more like siblings. She was his first real friend after arriving at his father’s home.

Maya gets it. Kathy and Jon were her first friends after her father died. Sin had some friends from school, but joining Epsilon is what made her feel…not alone.

“Is there a reason you’d want a girl?” Sin asks, breaking the silence.

“…I worry I might be too harsh on a son.” He looks at them, “There’s still many of Grandfather’s ‘lessons’ I’m unlearning. Most misogynistic, but none the less, I would like to think that…I’m not sure really.”

“That having a girl would help break the cycle?” Maya guesses. She hates how easy it is for her to get in people’s brains. When Damian nods, she looks out at the city with him, “I get it. I told Kathy, when we have kids, I want to carry. Like…like I need to have physical proof that I was here and real. Is that bad?”

“Maybe.” Sin shrugs. “Depends on a lot of factors. If you’re just having kids to make yourself feel better, don’t have them. If you’re having kids because you want to be better, then you’re fine.”

They consider that for a while. The sun sets slowly over the buildings, illuminating the trio with its fading rays.

As children, they learned night was their friend. Easier to sneak through the shadows. To sneak up on a target. To get what they need. They learned what horrors can happen when the sun sets. But, no matter what, it would always rise. Always a new day with new possibilities. A new future to be made.

“If I have a child…” Damian starts softly, “I hope I can be the parent they need. Not just the parent I want to be.”

“Me too.” Maya agrees.

“If it helps, I think you two will be great parents one day.” Sin nudges them both with her shoulders, “Even if it means we have to accept that our polygamist marriage will never happen.”

That makes the other two laugh, easing the tension in their chests. Maya winks at Sin, “I’m sure you’re heart broken that we can’t be sister wives.”

“Pretty sure Irey secured her spot as Damian’s one and only.” Sin fake sighs, “Suppose it was bound to happen. After all, both your types are ‘dorky girls that can also kill me’ and mine is ‘no.’”

“I’m bi, ma’am—“

“Name one boy we know you’d consider dumping Kathy for.”

“….Fuck you.”

“Not interested.”

Soon it will be time for them to go. Back to routines, chores, school. Back to the mundane reality of their civilian lives.
