I have like zero idea how I feel about the idea of the Gotham-based pain cult named after a Greek god recruiting a not-fully-in-line-with-his-own-reality member who is Kryptonian-level invulnerable and has to, like, TRY to get hurt by normal means, but it sure is SOMETHING, alright. Like . . . something. Some SOMETHINGS are being FELT.

Summary:

Because Roxas707 said they wanted to see it. DCU’s Red Robin ends up in the Young Justice verse. Things go poorly. 5000 words, before the inspiration dried up.

I'm trying to determine if I had a weird as hell dream or if this actually exists.

i feel like if they ever have ppl over they’re like... other sectioned  cops. and so if they went upstairs and saw the deadbolt* with their prior knowledge of daisy being v protective and jon being kinda a troublemaker (bc there’s no way being kidnapped significantly reduces his wandering or general bad idea generation) it’s really easy for them to be convinced that this is the only effective way daisy could ground jon. y’know, 15,16,17′s a lil old, but my parents used to use the doorknob lock to lock me in my room for timeouts when i was like 6. it’s not that out there. and by the time he’s an Adult and it is definitely weird, they’re either less in contact with daisy’s cop friends or it’s fallen into the background of everyone’s mental image of their house and been accepted as normal. even jon only rlly thinks about it when daisy goes somewhere for a few days and locks him in.

* (i have a v detailed mental blueprint of their house, the money comes from daisy using vague future memories of like when the housing crash happened and major sports events + stealing from suspects (before her acab realization) + it was a fixer upper a coworker’s relative was willing to sell cheap as like an act of charity for this young woman raising her brother solo + tbh maybe safehouse period martin just texted everyone peter lukas’ bank info, he was dead and rich no ones gonna notice a few thousand missing even in the past where he’s alive. be gay eat the eldritch rich)

but martin didn’t know Jon The Terrible Teen. instead of that context, he has Jon The Potential Missing Person. plus there are other things just a lil bit off- daisy def has a bunch of pics, especially polaroids, but there don’t seem to be any of jon before age 15, and he looks p uncomfy in most of the early ones. he knew jon lived out in the suburbs but didn’t realize until now that daisy’s the only one with a car. jon having the master bedroom almost makes sense with how daisy dotes on him, but also with the deadbolt he can’t help but think it’s gotta be much easier to lock someone up in the bedroom with an en suite bathroom.

Wait. also also. i have. A Lot of backstory about Weird Inscrutable Things Daisy’s done that make sense in the context of knowing about the fears and trying to make absolutely sure no one tries to take jon away from her and actually genuinely caring about jon’s mental well being. but that are really weird from an outside perspective. (ex: daisy realizes that if they’re pretending to be siblings it’s kinda weird there aren’t any picture of them together, or jon generally, before like last week, and instead of making up like a house fire or sth she breaks into jon’s grandmas house weeks to months after taking him and steals all her photos of jon, bc a picture of lil jon in a 2 sided frame with a pic of lil daisy is almost as good as a pic of them together, right? When jon’s grandma dies, she takes him to the grave the day after the funeral bc she thinks he deserves a chance to mourn (jon does not take it this way) and they’re spotted and reported as a potential sighting of Missing Child Jonathan Sims, etc) But like. I don’t necessarily have a place to use these. And even if i did. There’s enough of them...

Ironically, Tonya is a pretty close match to Kisuke's ruthlessness and (in this verse) loyalty. She's 100% ready to throw down with her CO's unknown soulmate. Kisuke is probably pleased his soulmate has such a good ally watching out for him.

loveasunnyday replied to your post “soulmateAU: Erich hasn't figured out that he's basically Tanya's best...”

Also re: above comment, Kisuke during WWI is pretty soon after his exile so HE probably has skewed ideas of friendship at this point also?? So, Erich: She's a good coworker and I can trust her in that capacity Kisuke: I'm so glad my soulmate has a strong ally I really don't want him dead Tanya: so this is my bestie Erich and his asshole soulmate is gonna get murdered by me soon

I am absolutely playing up Tanya’s loyalty to Erich in this verse, yeah. Part of it feels like it’s a semi-natural progression for her, and part of it is definitely because they’ve currently been working in close proximity with each other for about six months in increasingly dire situations.

Tanya has her own ruthless brand of loyalty that’s pretty evident re: her own men so... I just expanded her circle a little to a man she already respected and liked.

Also, Kisuke has the potential to REALLY fuck their chances for survival up if his presence/interference screws Erich up enough so... =) A good officer who she trusts and considers a friend vs an unknown? No contest.

Kisuke is like... 5-ish years post-exile in this verse, and he ABSOLUTELY has screwed up concepts of friendship. He does see Tanya&Erich as a pretty solid friendship + working relationship (In one of the future scenes I’m going to write, he calls Erich a “Captain” and Tanya his “Lieutenant” which highly offends both of them just because GET OUR RANKS RIGHT, BINCH, but from Kisuke’s POV, these two are absolutely a really solid, really dependable Captain/Lieutenant pair in the Soul Society meaning of those ranks.)

Tanya is just =| at Kisuke’s everything.

Erich is just “how is this my life” at everyone’s everything.
