SEQUEL TO 8-NEEDLE & THREAD

Damian stood in the shop annoyed. He had attempted to contact Alfred, but he was still unavailable. He didn't have his own measurements, on hand, and the only person who may possibly have them, would be his father.

'Father cannot know about this.'

Jon looked between them, nervously.

"I can take you measurements, you know." Marinette announced, "It might take a few minutes, but at least I wouldn't second guess myself."

Damian just nodded.

Mari could feel Damian tapping his leg for the thousandth time as she tried to get his measurements right. She threw her notebook on the floor, getting the boys' attention, and yanked Damian's tie down so they were eye level. Jon squeaked.

"I need you to fuckin' hold still. I get that you don’t like being touched, but this is the only way to get your measurements, unless you want it too tight on one side and too loose one the other." She snapped at him, letting go of the tie so he could stand up, "Uncle moves constantly, but it's easier to get his measurements."

Damian remained still, embarrassed he had been scolded like a child. He could feel the tips of his ears burning. Jon let out a small smile, noticing his best friend's embarrassment. He had ever seen Damian act this way and probably hated that he was there to witness it.

"Why don’t I go get us some drinks?" Jon suggested, "My treat. I already know Damian's choice."

"Where are you going?" Marinette asked.

"The café down the street." He answered.

She smiled, "I'll take a large Death cup."

"Death cup?" he questioned, "Never heard of it."

"The ladies there know my order." she replied, "It's my specialty."

Jon just shrugged and left for the drinks.

"Okay. We got the easy part out of the way." Marinette spoke up.

'Does she mean Jon?'

"Easy part?" He questioned, ready if she turned into a fan girl.

Marinette crossed her arms and shot him a look. Damian gulped realizing she understood what he thought.

"I have to get the inseam, now, Mr. No Touchy." She stated, "Just hold still. We get ot over with and you can leave when Jon gets back with my coffee. Deal?"

He sighed, "Deal."

Damian was quick to realize she was moving quickly and short-scripting her notes to help him.

"Got it." She smiled, "I'll start cutting fabric, right away, and you can come in tomorrow, as promised. I'll have you try it on and if anything needs to be fixed, I can do it right away."

He nodded, as she walked away. He watched as Marinette was already grabbing pins, thread, and bolts of fabric. Damian watched, fascinated by how focused she was, he almost missed Jon's return.

Jon handed him his earl Grey cup, but he notice him hesitate as he handed the seamstress hers. Damian watched as Marinette happily took it and chugged half the cup.

"Thank you!" She smiled.

"I don't know how you drink that." Jon gagged.

'Is it a lot of sugar?'

"Motivation." She answered, "See you, tomorrow."

Jon grabbed his arm and yanked him away.

"Why do you continue to drag me like a child, today?" Damian demanded.

"Your brother is banned from that shop." Jon said, as he continued to drag him, "I already called Conner."

"Jonathan." Damian growled.

Jon stopped and sighed, "Tim takes what 6-8 espresso shots, at the places that haven't banned him, right?"

"Last I recall." The young Wayne groaned.

"Marinette gets ten in hers." Jon declared.

Damian looked back towards the shop and started walking.

"Damian." Jon cried out.

"Go home." The young Wayne spoke, leaving no room to question.

Damian walked in through the back door, she had led them out of. It made a soft ding.

"You know, when I said tomorrow, I didn't mean midnight." Mari called out.

"I'm staying." Damian stated.

"Why?" She questioned.

"Jon told me about your cup." He admitted, "My brother is at eight shots, works for days, and functions on little to no sleep."

Marinette rolled her eyes, "I don't know how you people find me."

"I am not the only one to watch over you." He asked, amused.

"You are tonight." She sighed, "I moved my work upstairs. I came back down for my drink."

The Waynes' looked at Damian in confusion. His suit was completely different from theirs.

"Why does he get a special tux?" Jason demanded.

"I'm not sure." Bruce spoke, "The designer-"

"I used my personal designer." Damian stated, "She is very good with her craft."

"Good?" Tim shouted, "Why does yours look so much better than ours?"

Damian shrugged, "She did not wish for me to wear 'trash', as she called it."

"Trash?" Bruce questioned.

"I'd introduce you, Father, but she had me sign an NDA contract." he smiled, "We shouldn't be late."

Give me famous and beloved Waynes, give me Waynes in scandal every week, give me Dick Grayson at the Oscars and NO ONE KNOWS WHY he was just there, give me people filming Tim Drake sleeping in the back of class (pre drop out), give me conspiracy theories about lizard rich people.

Also

give me the discourse, give me everyone in Gotham loves the Wayne's apart from this one group of assholes (not the rouges) who are always online “eat the rich even when the rich are donating all their money”, give me someone tracking the Wayne family jet and getting served with a cease and desist, (bc they're tracking the bat plane somehow wtf??),

ALSO

give me Jason Todd unsolved, so many podcasters, give me the reactions, the vigil, beloved Gotham Wayne child from street rat story, the return… TikTok films everything. Give me Duke Thomas at protests and it's filmed, Dick Grayson performing still and someone filming it, Damian being soft to animal complications do numbers beside Damian tries to kill his sibling's videos.

ALSO ALSO

give me Steph videos like those “oh my god gold-digger of x celebrity”, people who make edits of her and everything, no one knows what she does she's just there. Give me princess of the family” Cass. Give me the scandal of the son of the richest man (in Gotham and the world) being engaged with the police commissioner's daughter.

I have so many more ideas. So, so much

Give me beloved, famous, royalty of Gotham, anything for our city, Wanyes.

i like to imagine wayne enterprices and stark industries has this rivalry going on. It's mostly petty ass shit cause howard was a new money on the block and an asshole, with tony being a likeble but sarcastic jerk, and the waynes finding the comparison the media draws between them annoying.

Now tony has a kid that thinks the entire ordeal is stupid as fuck and is also in the superhero business. They like the bats children, they probably get along with jason the most, and probably don't like bruce since they found out about the whole 'joker killed jason thing and bruce didn't change much for it' situation.

So yeah, when they go to a gotham gala out of routine or some shit, things are still tense, but what neither side likes to think about is that they are more simealer then they care to admit. With a shared haterd for the socialites at said gala.

Bruce is definitely better at hiding it with his brucie wayne public persona, but the starks? They don't even try to hide all their distaste.

Everyone knows their superheroes, Everyone knows they've gone through multiple crisis before, and the current stark industries ceo (they run it together with pepper)/face of the company started as a hero when they were barely considerd an adult by the law. Say some ungrateful rich as shit infront of them and they will bite back.

Random gotham socialite: i know he saved my husband but tore his newest hand tailored suit and dropped him in burn side of all place. The audacity of that bat! If we knew who he was, we would send him a dry cleaning bill.

Stark within earshot snapping their head towords the woman with intense murder in their eyes, cause they refuse to tolerate these bullshit complaints about any hero that does more good than bad. Even if it's bruce, someone they actively dislike.

'Well then, maybe batman should have dropped your husband from. What the height again? The 245th floor of a skyscraper? Onto the concrete that would at minimum give him broken bones, if not a head injury, and internal bleeding that would have absolutely killed him. Assuming of course the impact itself doesn't immediately turn him into a blood splatter.'

Gotham socialite: ...

'Or perhaps your husbhand should have just left those smaller business alone, instead of defrauding them so badly the penguin wanted him dead. Just saying.'

Bruce wayne, still keeping up his himbo civilian act, and politely smiles: you know, i wouldn't have minded batman ruining my dad's suit if he saved his life. So maybe be greatful your husband is still here.

The socialite having absolutely forgotten who she was talking to going slightly pale: 😶

This is a regular occurrence when a stark attends any wayne gala since tony became iron man.

Not only do they have zero shame, and been humbled in recent years, but wayne enterprices is basicly the only legal work you can get in gotham that's actually up to some ethical standers, and everyone knows 99% of gotham elites are the cause of why gotham is so fucked up.

With this stark being atleast on decent terms with most of the wayne children they tend to visit gotham more than just once a year like their dad and grandpa did.

It's become a well known thing that if you put the waynes, any wayne really, with the chaotic new iron man in the same room you can't say shit about, the poor, any superhero, your business ethics (cause they have none), and generally should watch yourself and them cause both families absolutely have no issues with ruining their public image. If it means putting someone in their place.

The waynes hear all the dirt from the gotham socialites, and starks are well known for doing whatever the fuck they like. Stark absolutely has exposed multiple corrupted figures in power before with the bat kids help.

So much so, it has become part of stark industries image. Their crazy ceo has used their public social media accounts to spread the evidence (multiple times), ensuring their is no way for the bastard to escape their punishment without a mob coming for their head and absolutely tanking their company's stocks into the ground.

And the bat kids? They love it, not only does it mean going to the gala can actually turn into something productive. They get a free front seat to the show of stark going batshit crazy in public, getting rid of a another insufferable guest they would have to deal with otherwise. It's practically their hobby.

And bruce? Well, brucie wayne happens to be a bubbling himbo oblivious to it all cause why should he be involved in starks superhero business?

But behind the scenes they made a unspoken rule? Deal? Alliance? Well whatever it is, they agreed stark can fuck up the corrupted gotham elites as long as it doesn't disturbe bruce's batmaning, sometimes just casually say it to them cause it takes the work load off bruce trying to deal with scare crow for like the 5th time this week. In return stark gladly gives bruces extra intel that seem to be gotham related.

So, you wanna get into dc comics but don’t know where to start?

I just put together a beginner’s guide to dc comics that breaks things down into:

general starter runs (with links to read them!)

a batfamily reading list in order (also with links!)

character-specific checklists (for when you inevitably pick a favorite and want everything about them)

it’s casual, easy to follow, and meant to make comics way less intimidating. Right now, there are only 4 character-specific lists, but it will update often.
