#presumed

You know depending on when Damian is introduced to the larger hero community

There's a not so slim chance that people presume he's another one of Deathstroke' baby

The cavalier attitude, clear affinity to sword wielding, and a ridiculous amount of skill despite his physical age?

Add to that Dick went back to Gotham, made up with Bruce for no apparent reason

I'm just saying, the Titans having one look at the clingy ball of death threats, the resemblance is truly undeniable

Sladick having a custody battle with Batman as the mediator? More likely than you think!

----

Damian getting a face full of non Gotham version of Grayson, completely knocks Damian on his ass

Because for Dick, Gotham is his home turf, and his role in the family is not shot caller or decision maker with the last word

So his fights with Bruce, however vicious are more like teenage brat yelling at his mom out of frustration and hormones

So for a highly trained kid like Damian, the lack of lethal intent is clear as day. Damian is also used to the detached mannerisms of assassin cult, he isn't really expecting a warm family scene

Except outside of Gotham, suddenly the soft spoken bag of cheer and terrible puns has the attention of the room, and clearly people are deferring to Dick for judgement calls

Said room which is currently full of extraordinary humans with the power to topple skyscrapers and punch back hurricanes

Damian being underwhelmed by the acceptance, and in turn surprised by the respect that comes with being trusted as one of 'them'

----

I'm just saying it's interesting to think about a slightly altered timeline where Titans are still prominent, or at least the teammates are still a unit in the countering of crisis situations

And a Damian who's not Batman's demon child with too many problems to count, but Dick's trusted companion first

(Mild head canon)

JL and Titans having separate chain of command, due to the myriad of personal issues between sidekicks and mentors never being fully addressed

So even when some members do graduate to League membership

Strategy sessions usually become a subtle divide with Titans being more team oriented, while League is more used to deploying single heroes to deal with big areas

This trend used to be because the younger heroes preferred to be able to cover their inexperience with team work, while older heroes had more trouble not smashing in to each other while fighting

A relationship in an exercise of pure balance.When one of the halves of the couple start to think he/she has the upper hand over the other, the equilibrium is broken and the relationship is no more, even if, on the surface, nothing has changed... but no, don't be fooled, once the balance disappears, the relationship's foundations are destroyed and it's just a matter of time until you watch the building collapse.   Oddly enough, some relationships start already unbalanced - and that means that, despite all the appearances, this is a relationship that never was. Even those who have never been in that situation certainly know someone who was.   Some people presume that the person they are with is worthless of their time, but, yet, they keep on with that person - at least until someone better appears. That kind of people (and, eventually, not all of them are narcissists) thinks that they are too pretty and/or intelligent and/or educated and/or rich and/or successful and/or hot and/or something else in comparison with the person they are with.   But, in the end, what they are is blatantly dishonest human beings. If you think that you are sooooo superior and the person you are with is sooooo unworthy of all your virtues, you shouldn't have started the relationship in first place. You shouldn't have given someone the illusion that they are loved, when, in reality, they are just tolerated and, without knowing, they are standing in the antechamber of a monumental disappointment. You are nowhere near as good as you think. Actually, people like you are human-shaped turds - no more, no less. Smug people are fecal matter and they simply deserve no redemption whatsoever - they deserve scorn. Don’t let your low self-esteem and his/her kind words trick you.    Your boyfriend/girlfriend is never to good for you. Your boyfriend/girlfriend is never in a different league from you. Don't, under any circumstances allow him/her to have that illusion.       Yours,

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is presumed dead after a massive U.S. and Israeli military operation Saturday, multiple Israeli official sources told CBS News.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier Saturday that there are “growing signs” that Khamenei is “gone” after the mission.

Rescuers ran oxygen and water to students trapped in the unstable concrete rubble of a collapsed school building in Indonesia, as they desperately worked to free survivors Tuesday morning more than 12 hours after the structure fell. At least one student was killed, dozens were injured and 65 were presumed buried in the rubble.

Just because it is

Presumed

Even by a large part

Of the population

Doesn’t mean it is true

Test it

Against His Word

I promise

If it rings true to the Scriptures
