Y'all need to hop the fuck unto this fic y'all it has Duke & Izzy pulling an Avengers Assemble level pull up on Joker, pretty much calling every WAR member in the area to jump the fuck out of him in defence of Barbara. Duke legit beat on him with a crowbar, called Bruce a coward to his face for not letting someone put Joker in the ground & full on told him that if Joker ever escapes again he will most def put him in the ground himself. It features Duke being allowed to be angry without having to tone it down because Bruce feels bad, Babs getting comfort from the girls (Cass, Steph, Kate) due to getting a panic attack from seeing Joker, Bruce getting verbally reamed & Also there are Dukeizzy crumbs & Jason & Duke brotherism

The blood of every Robin killed either crime fighting or at the hands of corrupt cops during the events of We Are Robin & beyond is on Alfred's hands

Same goes for all the Robins sent to Arkham Juvie being on Dick's hands

I think Andre is a part of the reason why Duke has become so pro reformation looking how judgy he used to be & comparing it to that one

[firstdaddymajorbaddy]

I think Duke & Riko's first date was at an anime convention where they went as either Ichigo & Orihime or Izuku & Ochako; they made the costumes from scratch of course.

Duke & Dax went to an auto show or NASCAR race for their first date in my opinion, like cars aren't really his things but he's always willing learn.

For Dre they either went to watch an MMA or boxing match or Duke managed to use his Wayne money to take him to a concert where his favourite pianist would be playing.

For Izzy he takes her to breakdancing competitions where he encourages her to participate or they g do karaoke.

I think peeps forget that romantic orientation is seperate from sexual orientation or gender identity & also counts as queer so if y'all wanna be boring & keep Duke cishet, sure go ahead, but make sure you acknowledge he is a poly icon, kay?

Here is Duke War (Duke x Riko x Isabella) for the boring normies

And here is PolyWar (Duke, Isabella, Riko, Andre & Daxton) for the cool cats

FDMB out & over

Before they knew PolyWar was a thing members of the BatFam who had met the members had a favourite they wanted Duke to date

Damian & Bruce had Izzy

Jason & Harper had Daxton

Tim & Dick had Andre

Babs & Steph had Riko

Cass said all of the above & was laughed at but that Pride when Duke came out as being polyamorous she got the last laugh.

Alfred had thought it was Claire Clovers because he misinterpreted their queerplatanic relationship as being a romantic one & was shocked

Also Bruce tried dissuade Duke from dating Andre (a mob kid) & Daxton (Joe Chill's son or grandson who was a villain for a bit) due to their ties to crime but got shot down when he was reminded that Izzy's brother had been a gangster too.

Imagine a team of Duke Thomas, Isabella Ortiz, Riko Sheridan, Andre Ciprani, Daxton Chill & Shug-R just running the morning to evening shift could prolly throw in Claire Clover for when they are dealing with heavy hitters like Bane or Killer Croc. Clown Hunter joins in whenever Joker is involved & is welcomed with open arms.

Headcanon Duke is queer & out the closet but doesn't celebrate Pride for himself but for others. He sees pride parades as being kind of tacky & would rather just spend the day out normally with his polycule (Riko, Izzy, Dre & Dax).

I just don't see Duke as the type to make a big deal or even weaponise his queerness because as far as he's concerned it's just another aspect of him that he's known for ages that he has never felt the need to hide or make a big deal out of. The only reason he seems to pass for straight is because while bisexual or pansexual he's always had a heavy female lean (Izzy, Riko & Claire).
