don't give up
!Vent warning!
Anyone else just feel really touch starved and think ur friends hate you?
I'm the annoying friend who just tells jokes but I still help them. Sometimes tho I feel like they hate me and sometimes I just need a hug. Can't be happy all the time ya know?
Clark has had a bad week--a stopped alien invasion, a plot by Luthor involving some kryptonite, being chewed out by Perry, being chewed out by Batman, and now he was at some stupid charity gala that was just an excuse for rich people to show off how rich they are, when his gaze lands on Bruce Wayne.
Wayne has made passes at him before but Clark's ignored them, having very little interest in the rich fop, but right now, he could really use some stress relief and if he can't eat the rich maybe he can fuck them. And despite his reputation for being good in bed, Wayne seems like the kind of guy who probably does the bare minimum in bed but his partners still rave about him bc he's rich and famous, so maybe he and Lois can giggle about his poor skills in bed at work the next day.
So Clark approaches him and he seems quite happy to entertain Clark and later Clark is lying in bed, panting, after several rounds and he's so upset bc goddamn it, Wayne is actually better in bed than the rumors say and it's not fair that's he's rich and handsome and good in bed. He and Lois can't even make fun of this tomorrow, rich people suck
Reyna in senate meetings
Reyna: Right, this is an emergency meeting, we won’t stand on formalities
Random Ghost: I love formalities!
Reyna shot him a cross look.
Larry: We know the fifth will mess up. They should take somebody good.
Dakota: We were plenty good last night when we whipped your podex, Larry!
Reyna: Enough, Dakota. Let’s leave Larry’s podex out of this.
Reyna: *claps hands*
Octavian: *walks up to the front* I have been summoned
Reyna: SILENCE! Senators, we must act like Romans. All we can do is advise them and make sure they have a plan.
Reyna looked at Percy without much hope
Reyna: you do have a plan, right?
Percy: ….
Octavian: So you do have a plan?
Percy: We go to Alaska as fast as possible
Hazel: and we improvise
Frank: A lot
Reyna studied them. She looked like she was mentally writing her own obituary.
Octavian: A boat! The Son of Neptune wants a boat.
Reyna: Octavian, a boat is little enough to ask. And providing no other aid seems very-
Octavian: Traditional!
Reyna: …sigh

Tim:
Tim: Should I ask?
Bruce: No, I'm not falling for that again
Tim: ??
Currently watching the entire criminal minds series from season 1. Going good so far
Aaron having to bring his daughter with him to work for whatever reason? She’s tiny enough to not be running around and mainly just sleep on his chest all day. It’s fall outside and she’s in a warm teddy bear outfit so it’s literally like a stuffed animal on his chest as he works. She wouldn’t remember anything she saw in files but he makes sure her head is never near anything bad. Makes his heart warm and happy when the others realize that she’s there and coo over her and the outfit. Penelope takes pictures of them to send to you too 😭🖤
soak it in
i'm going to CRY cw; fem!reader, girl dad!aaron, small foyet reference
aaron's entrance into the bullpen piqued the interest of several, as it was different from any other, usual morning. not only was his briefcase in hand, but also a carseat, and a diaper bag was slung proudly over his shoulder. there were smiles from the team, some small nudges to look amongst the other units, as today's visitor was easily welcomed.
during breakfast, you had been notified your dentist appointment had been moved up, due to the office closing earlier within the day for whatever reason. with such short notice and jessica being unavailable, aaron was the obvious solution, and your daughter came to work with him - until you were done running a few errands and could drop by to retrieve her.
for the meantime - as she was there - aaron opted to work strictly on the no-pictures-included files. while she was never in close proximity to a file regardless, and today's onesie's hood happened to shield her eyes, and her little mind wouldn't process or remember anything - aaron didn't want to take any chances. he yearned to keep his daughter as far away from that, all the horrors the world possessed, for as long as he possibly could. jack had gained the knowledge - that monsters were real, just in human form - sooner than he would have liked. sadly.
currently baby girl was tucked into his chest, her right cheek smushed against him. she dozed off not too long ago; she had gotten a bit antsy and luckily his swivel desk chair allowed him to slowly rock her as he worked, in addition to soothingly shushing her, whispering that it's okay; ultimately calming her down. her little fingers found a near death grip on his shirt, clinging onto him as she slept.
when he had felt the pull of fabric, he gazed down and couldn't help but smile. aaron also took a moment, to soak it all in. the window of time where this was possible, was limited; her against his chest, small enough to be cradled in one arm, quiet and secure in the comfort of his office. all in too fast progression would aaron blink, and she would be way more interested in exploring and bouncing off the walls.
the thought immediately snapped his heart into two. if only she could stay that tiny, forever.
as he wrote, flipped a page, switched files, aaron was extremely careful to his movements. he tried not to rustle her, despite her being comfortably laid in his not-preoccupied-by-writing arm.
the sudden creak of his door lifts his eyes, penelope entering. the quietest of aw’s leaves her as she approaches, with an extra spring in her step at the sight before her. in addition, she doesn't hesitate to whisk out her phone.
"i didn't know this cutie was here today." the words leave her in a gentle, yet high, pitched tone, giddiness laced within. her jaw fully drops as she catches sight of the cozy onesie the littlest hotchner inhabits, "oh my god look at her outfit!"
“garcia.” aaron lightly warns as her volume heightens, his eyes flicking back up to her from his paperwork, his pen slowing.
“i know sorry sorry, i just neeeed to share the cuteness with the mrs.," penelope grins, aiming her camera at baby girl, and aaron, snapping a few pictures. "this is just, too dang adorable. she needs a copy, i need a copy, and i'll make you a copy too, sir."
that tugs aaron's lips into a smile, a small chuckle leaving him. "she's cute, huh?"
"um hello? cute doesn't even begin to cover it. please tell me you're the one who dressed her today. if yes, i might have to scream. just might."
"not today." aaron admitted, dropping his pen and fixing the small hood, which had fallen a bit too much in front of baby girl's face. again, his lips couldn’t help but pull into a smile. god, he loved being a girl dad, and a dad in general. "but, i may have picked it out."
"i was right. i'm going to scream." quick to realize what she said, penelope held out her hands in defense - before aaron even had the opportunity to open his mouth - clarifying with wide eyes. "internally! i'm screaming internally."
aaron took a slight pause, before speaking. “actually, about the copies - ”
penelope’s shoulders dropped in defeat, her lips pulling to the side - an equivalent to an ‘eek’. “was i too enthusiastic?”
“on the contrary,” aaron’s expression softened, laughing gently as to again, not rouse baby girl. “would you mind bringing me two? i’ll need one for in here, and for my wallet.”
Billionaire brothers au
Bruce Wayne, Oliver Queen and Tony Stark were all theatre kids and could definitely perform so many plays and sing the songs perfectly. They all love Hamilton, Six and most musicals and have been to see all the plays during the first showing of them.
In this au Bruce and Oliver are like 23ish while Tony is 21, but no one else remembers due to how much they've done, so they're all gen z
You will randomly find them singing together when they're bored and all the batkids love it because they're great singers, definitely took singing classes together with other rich kids, like Hope(marvel idk her last name) and Lex luthor.
When at galas, if they get bored enough they'd hack into the system, turn on disco lights and play proper party music and sing to it.
Also it's a singer au, where they are all a part of an anonymous band named something dumb like Veota or something they started when they were younger (so all popular modern day songs were written by them and their friends) and they just couldn't be bothered to deal with more paparazzi so no one knows.
So one day the justice league comes over to Bruce's bc they need him for something and they're just singing together with a bunch of famous rich kids and they're just.baffled. so confused. And they just don't care.
