⊳ apprehensive eyes flickered back at the man , “ i think i need more than help at this point . you don’t happen to have a MIRACLE on hand , do you ? ” the brunette joked before motioning towards the bike , “ but if you don’t mind looking - i’d be very appreciative .” in truth , the bike should’ve given out on her months ago , had she not been so instant on ‘ riding the bike until it’s last breath ’ she COULD’VE been half way home by now .
HIS SMILE BROADENED. he stepped up towards the bike— certainly not in the best condition he’d ever seen. not necessarily the worst. ❝ i’m a man of many things, ❞ he spoke, examining the bike, ❝ unfortunately, miracles isn’t one of them. and i have to say, this bike has seen better days. not much to be done without replacing a few parts. and at that point it’s probably cheaper to just buy a new bike. ❞
“is it just me or are you losing your edge, b o y w o n d er?” she teased with a playful smirk curving her lips. the girl usually had her red locks up in a ponytail for the training session, but this time she kept them down. of course, dick gave her a run for her money, he always did. but the b a n t e r was a fun addition to it. @bvtmxns
❝ FUNNY , ❞ he commented dryly. the smirk across his lips showing he was anything but bothered by her teasing. he appreciated the distraction— from both the sparring and the banter. anything to take his mind off the complications that came from being batman. ❝ i was about to say the same thing. you going easy on me, babs ? ❞
❝ BATMAN HIMSELF. to what do i owe such a pleasure ? ❞ a hum to a dark voice as he spoke, ice blue eyes following every movement of the masked crusader. a shame he was unable to face the man himself, the one whom had such a relationship with his father. no - he was met with the second-rate. the “ UPGRADED “ version of a man who frankly needed no one to take his place. when his father died, batman should have died with him. wicked smirk spread over pale features, leaning back more and more in his seat, unwavering - calm and comfortable. ❝ i admire you, BATSY, i really do. rushin’ in and savin’ the day like it’s no big fuckin’ deal. it’s inspirational, truly. ❞ @bvtmxns
EYES NARROWED AT THE SELF-PROCLAIMED WILDCARD . another copycat nuisance to follow in the wake of the joker’s death. but by far the most persistent one of the bunch— and the biggest thorn in the side of this bat to date. given who the kid’s father was, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise. a cautious step, the swoosh of his cape behind him— the bat moved forward. every move had to be calculated. he learned that from bruce so long ago when dealing with a clown prince. a digitally deepened voice broke through the room. ❝ thought i’d take a break from being an inspiration to come pay you a visit . maybe convince you that a six-by-eight cell is far more enjoyable than the alternative , ❞ a tilt of his head towards the seated man, ❝ i’m giving you a chance to surrender , joker lite™ . i highly suggest you take it . ❞
⊳ combat clad boot kicked down the kickstand to her bike before planting on the ground beneath her . “ what the hell ? ” the brunette mummbled , having hear a weird noise emmitting from her motorcycle . “ you better not be breaking down on me again , i swear on everything i will replace you . ” she chided to the imanimate thing , taking off her helmet to take a closer look .
❝ YOU NEED SOME HELP THERE ? ❞ called the dark haired man. hands buried deep in the pockets of the wool coat he wore to ward off the brisk gotham air. he’d been simply passing by when the sound of the woman’s bike and her immediate scolding caught his attention. he smiled kindly, ❝ i know a little bit about bikes . i’d be happy to lend a hand ? ❞
LOOK, UP IN THE SKY ! its a bird, its a plane – NO, it’s BATMAN!! i’ve heard rumors that they are a HERO, adopted child of BRUCE WAYNE. i wonder who they really are.. definitely not RICHARD ‘DICK’ GRAYSON. it’s weird though, they look just like MATTHEW DADDARIO. they’re AFFABLE & DAUNTLESS, but also STUBBORN & BOISTEROUS.
HEY GANG !! i’m ashley and i will be playing dick grayson — formerly known as nightwing and now known as BATMAN . i have to shove off to bed here shortly due to work , but wanted to get this posted first . feel free to hmu for plotting either here or on discord !! promise that i’m normally 500% down for anything !!
i’m comic book trash when it comes to the batfam, so i’ll be pulling a lot from new 52 and rebirth, plus my own headcanons and adjustments to fit the roleplay. dick’s backstory will be fairly the same, but none of that spyral stuff. ain’t nobody got time for that.
batman helped him in investigating the murder of his parents by tony zucco. bruce empathized with dick, having gone through a similar tragedy as a kid and took him under his wing. dick would become the first robin and eventually lead the teen titans during his preteen and early teenage years.
he would eventually become a bit disillusioned with bruce. while he loved and respected him as a father figure, it was apparent to dick that being batman had changed the man he was over the years— making bruce a bit harder to deal with (that broody mofo). this coupled with the fact that dick was tired of being in the shadow of the bat drove the two to fight with one another and dick to branch out on his own. he would move to blüdhaven and take up the mantle of nightwing. at this time he would also join the police force as his day job. at some point he became the leader of the titans, a team made up of former teen titans.
dick NEVER wanted to be batman. again, he saw what it did to bruce and certainly didn’t want that for himself. but deep down he knew that the cowl would end up passed down to him. he was the oldest and had practically been groomed for the duty since the day he became robin. plus, he recognized that gotham still needed batman and it wasn’t a burden that dick would allow any of his siblings to carry. so, when the time came for bruce to step down, dick reluctantly accepted the role of the dark knight. he made sure that nightwing lived on with his little brother tommy, though.
in addition to taking on the cowl as batman, dick also became a co-leader of the justice league. he gets the police forces far more involved in the vigilantism of the batfamily and company, being a former cop himself, he knows their more active involvement will help make sure their convictions stick.
dick is very actively trying not to be like bruce (lowkey he is bruce lite™ tho). he doesn’t want to be some dark brooding, loner with more secrets than he can count. their family has enough secrets already, thank you very much.
he’d do absolutely anything for his family. his siblings mean the world to him and he takes his big brother role very seriously.
dick is a rather good natured and fun-loving guy. he laughs easily and leans on the more optimistic side.
he’s got a lil bit of an ego ngl.
HE IS STUBBORN AF. dogmatic as hell. once he decides his way is the morally right way, good luck trying to get him to change his mind or see something from another point-of-view.
he’s a flirt with a thing for redheads. this is canon fact, let’s just be honest.
alright since i can’t decide give me some of your mwf characters
CASSANDRA CAIN-WAYNE. helena wayne (ask about this one first tho?) also wouldn’t mind seeing the daughter(s) of: black widow, wonder woman, captain america, elektra, aquaman & mera, thor, iron man, or loki??
