I think Dick Grayson would kill for Kate Bishop if she asked BUT I also think that Kate would kill for Dick if he asked
In the same vein, Jason Todd would also kill for Dick Grayson and Kate Bishop. Dick HAS killed for Jason, and Kate would if the opportunity arose.
Why does this matter? Because between the three of them they could have a stranglehold on organized crime. Jason's got drugs/guns, Kate's got like brokering/information, and Dick launders the money through his circus.
You've heard of Dick and Kate rich kid besties, now get ready for Dick and Kate rich kid ENEMIES.
GOD they HATE each other, so INSUFFERABLE, just vapid and spoiled and willingly ignorant. Not like this vigilante they've been working with who is SMART and COMPASSIONATE and also SCARY AS FUCK with a great sense of humor, Dick and Kate vent about each other to their vigilante pal
WHICH IS EACH OTHER
Hawkeye and Nightwing slowly falling in love and Dick Grayson and Kate Bishop fall deeper into loathe.
Sitting on rooftops all "I can be myself around you," "Yeah, me too." and eventually deciding they really want to be a part of each other's lives all the time, not just at night, so they set up a time and place to meet, they're going to show up wearing an article of clothing in each other's signature color because they're cheesy
and then UGH, GOD, GROSS, what are YOU doing here??? Go away immediately I am meeting someone who is ACTUALLY a worthwhile human being--exCUSE me is that a purple shirt?
That depends, is that a blue blouse???
They're staring at each other. The world stops around them. Because what the fuck.
Uguhuhug secret identities AU where Dick realizes what a danger magnet Kate Bishop is and frEAks, decides to teach her some self-defense. And because secret identities, Kate can't come up with a good civilian reason to say no?
At some point they forget to start pulling their punches and Cass and Clint are off to the side like "should we tell them?"
brain rot anon: i see your jaydick, i see your dickate, i see your jaykate… but are you ready for the throuple. dick/kate/jason. is the world ready for that level of chaos in one relationship? are their neighbors ready for that sex life? like i see your kate bishop’s boyfriends tag and i say okay but what if her boyfriends were also boyfriends? are these boys going to have to learn how to share 😂 but also come on jason you end up dating his exes anyway sooooooo
on GOD nonny i saw the notification for this on my phone and all it showed was "brain rot anon: i see your jaydick" and i KNEW what was coming, i am SCREECHING
Okokokokkokkkkkok jaydick seducing Kate? Jaykate seducing dick? (I don't see dickate seducing jason working I don't think jason would trust it) ak!jason my beloved???
(oh my GOD ak!jason would be such a possessive little freak over them; dick and kate EAT IT UP)
what a group of exceptionally terrifying people. the number of people who look at them and think Jason is the loose cannon (it's Dick it's absolutely Dick) and that Kate is kind of the middle/balance (she's not she is SO destructive) and is so many while Jason is actually planning cute ass date nights and wanting to stay in and cuddle and bake
(Cute date night idea: going to college bars and beating the shit out of people drugging drinks. Like honestly meet ugly. Dick and Jay are out doing this and Kate beats them to the punch (literally) and they get to know each other via shared hobbies TT)
Is the world ready for this chaos? So Clint and Cass (Cain) are very "yeah that tracks" about this relationship. Bruce is going insane. Damian attempts to give Kate a shovel talk and doesn't succeed because the last child-shaped chaos machine Kate dealt with was Loki (and also those kids she and Clint rescued with mind powers!) so it takes her forever to realize Damian is threatening her because that is just how The Youth express affection, right?
NO, absolutely NO ONE is ready for their sex life. At least one neighbor thinks they're filming porn. I cannot imagine living in an apartment next to them. They NEED a house but it's not practical with being vigilantes, city apartments are where it's at, but hOneStLy
I can't tell you how much furniture they break. It's a lot. They spring for a solid wood table after breaking three from Ikea. at least three sets of torn bedsheets, two broken bedside lamps--look Jay and Dick are very large men and all three of them are very strong if they're not paying attention or they've been apart for an extended period of time, there's going to be drywall with holes in it. Something's getting torn of the wall on accident. They are not getting their deposit back.
idk how they get together, so many delicious scenarios
Dick and Kate getting drinks together and deciding to break into one of Jason's safe houses and get MORE drunk. Literally all they're talking about is how great Jason is and how much they want to kiss him. Jason comes in all huffy to these two NERDS on his couch, melted all over each other, red-cheeked and giggly, obviously assumes they're flirting with each other and not him even with Kate telling him he's so pretty and Dick agrees
or or or the boys have been very MATURE and ADULT and are having conversations about both of them being into Kate and maybe both of them dating her when they have the misfortune to get dosed with some Ivy nonsense, NOT sex pollen but like incredibly high/drunk. they're doing some real dangerous shit in the batcave and refusing to listen to ANYone EVEN ALFRED, so Steph calls Kate, because Kate has been wrangling drunk adrenaline junkie superhero boys since she was 19, she's literally a pro at this.
Jason and Dick, btw, have been perched somewhere very high talking mostly about Kate (also how much Dick wants to snuggle with Haley and what they want to eat and how much they like each other) so when she comes in they listen to her and it has nothing to do with her ability to herd the inebriated. Jason and Dick are staring at her and agreeing to do whatever she asks. "Hawkeye did you know that if you mix blue and red you get purple. wow what a coincidence or something those are our colors!" followed by disturbingly intense stares.
at some point they wind up at her apartment (because she knows where all the weapons are and because the consensus was to keep them contained. The Manor is too much space for them to get lost in) after stopping to pick up Haley and there's just a pile of vigilantes, Lucky, Haley, Jeff the Land Shark, and a cat that Kate has acquired (the cat's name, I regret to inform you, is toad) and they REALLY want Kate to snuggle too but they don't want to pressure her but they REALLY WANNA touch her :(
one of them asks to hold her hand. one of them asks to play with her hair. the textures are SO GOOD. Jason and Dick zonk out in her bed and wind up all snuggled together which is very nice actually hmmmm Dick needs to rethink this potential relationship configuration but he is literally and figuratively flexible so it'll be fine. the biggest issue jaydick have in seducing Kate is getting her to realize that they ARE serious. Kate this is not a joke. she's a little mopey because she thinks the boys are just into each other. she's getting ready to go out and it's a whole thing with Jason going "you don't need to go out to find someone to wreck your shit, we are perfectly capable of doing that." (it's really romantic trust me)
More shenanigan-ery wanted? Kate falling for Dick Grayson and Hawkeye falling for Red Hood. (Kate does not have a long term plan here btw "bisexuality" is not a plan)
Anyway Red Hood hears about something Derek Bishop is planning that will have fallout for Kate, so of course he tells Dick and they try to set up a sting or something. which REALLY interferes with Kate's plans of catching her dad doing shady shit. At the end of the night the three of them are grouped together as a building burns behind them. Nightwing is being kinda proprietary about Kate which is weird because she's never worked with him and Kate keeps drifting into Red Hood's space which is weird because he knows Kate has never met him as Red Hood.
Jason suggests they regroup at one of his safe houses. The boys expect Kate to put up a fight about it but she's like "no I trust you" which is BEWILDERING, she has NO reason to trust Red Hood (that they know of ofc)
Obviously Dick is willing to let her know who he is and Jason is fine not doing that (why would he Anyway? Not his circus, not his clowns [ohohoohooo the irony] that's Dick's girl, he has nothing to do with that) and Jason is a little pissed that Hawkeye couldn't be bothered to help? He never asks her for anything. But maybe she's hurt? Shit, he's gotta get back out there, see if he can find her--
Now one of two things can happen.
Jason goes to text Hawkeye and Kate's phone dings (spiderman pointing meme)
OR
Chaos.
Clint barges into the safehouse, Deadpool in tow (with popcorn he is SO READY for what's about to go down that's why he helped Clint find the place) Clint VERY much Hawkeye attired and VERY UPSET that Kate decided to do this and didn't tell him???
Except she DID tell him she told him three whole days ago!!! OH MY GOD CLINT DID YOU HAVE YOUR EARS OFF
So Nightwing and Red Hood (and Deadpool) are watching this incredibly married fight (all of their fights are so married idk what to tell you they are platonic life partners) between Avenger Hawkeye and heiress Kate? Bishop? how do they know each other???
This goes on for longer than it should. Wade is getting bored. So he finishes chewing his popcorn and goes "Hey, Hawkeye!"
And both Clint and Kate turn to him and (in the same tone) go "WHAT?"
This is about the time Dick starts to bluescreen
Clint mentions something about how Captain America asked her not to do this kind of thing--
"A white Cap or a Black Cap?"
"Uhhh it was Steve?"
"Yeah I don't give a shit honestly he knows that, that's why he made me you."
Jason is buffering. Buffering. Buffering.
tbf Kate Bishop being a vigilante is not the thing that's tripping him up--I mean, Bruce--but that Kate Bishop is sort of into him? Actually really into him? Does that mean Kate is his girlfriend?
Which runs smack into "oh shit Kate is dating Dick."
(Kate is still blissfully unaware of her impending doom. She and Clint are still arguing about who she DOES listen to and it's NOT a man she pulled out of a dumpster last week, CLINTON. If Daredevil was here she would say the same thing to him! She would say the same thing to Moon Knight! To which Clint replies that he doesn't trust someone who gets HIT by CARS as much as she does--)
The stupidity of this argument has blunted the impact of Dick and Jason freaking out (Dick is recovering quickly his brain whirring at a million miles an hour thinking about all the times Jason has dated his exes and how he gets all flustered sometimes--)
Dick has taken his mask off. Jason has taken his helmet off and his mask. Kate and Clint have reached the part of arguing where they are like "I just worry abt you and love you ok" and hug and THEN
Kate sees the Boys, says "no" and just turns and walks out of the room.
it'll be fine she just needs to eat something. they'll have the serious conversations and it'll be great and wonderful and at some point Nightwing and Red Hood go beat the shit out of Derek Bishop :)
And like. GOD. these two boys, birds, who learned to fly through the night sky, giving Hawkeye wings. do you. do you see what I'm saying.
Oh nooo OK so the Batboys tm (minus Dick) hiring Kate Bishop as a PI as part of an elaborate matchmaking scheme but they have to give her something to investigate that will force her and Dick to interact a lot, right? So they have her look into the circus that Dick now owns.
Only she's a good PI, she's going to see that there's nothing to look into pretty quick. Except
A. She uncovers an exotic animal smuggling operation using the circus as cover (thus making her Damian's favorite brother)
or
B. The Boys decide to make it look like someone is laundering money through the circus and in their attempt to make it believable, accidentally start laundering money through Dick's circus
(Kate: how did you know I was Hawkeye?!?!?
Duke: are you--your agency is called Hawkeye Investigations!
dc brainrot anon here to say something something that challengers pose but it’s jaydickate… you could fight over her orrrrrr learn to share 😇
spoil her with attention okAY BYEEEEE
No nope wait come back you can't just say that and dip hang on
also this wound up getting horny. under the cut it goes!
Just. Just debating if Dick is feeling Kate up while Jay kisses her, or if Jason is holding her while Dick is kissing her. Depends on Jay's self esteem levels (does he feel like an outsider or interloper because he doesn't think he's good enough). Because Dick sliding his hand between Kate's legs, his other hand around Kate's neck to keep her in place while Jason kisses her is making me chew wires. The LEVEL of trust that displays. Obviously meeting out of costume shows a level of trust but Dick can FEEL her PULSE against his palm.
Jason keeps getting distracted because that is SUCH a pretty tableau, Kate and Dick leaning into each other. Like kill people gorgeous because he doesn't know what else to do. It's the spicy version of cuteness aggression. Jason wants to tear apart anyone who has ever looked at Dick and Kate, who has ever seen this--except, no, they've never done this. This is all for him. Only him. They each belong to him and he will share them with each other and that's it.
Though, you know, i think Dick would go a little feral if Kate or Jason grabbed him by the throat. Is it a size kink thing? A competency kink? Yes. The size kink of it working in different directions for him with this. How did Kate even reach his neck. I think Jason would be kind of into getting put in a chokehold but not being grabbed by the throat. It's interesting because he does like being collared. They are all into seeing each other get manhandled by each other (though with Kate it's less shoving her around and more when one of them holds her STILL for fucks sake she's so bad at it. I think one time Jason pulls Kate to him after she's been up waaay too long, her back against his front, his forearm resting along her breastbone and his hand gently resting on her throat and he talks to her in a low soothing voice and accidentally talks her into subspace. Dick is the first to figure out what's happening and sits there and watches. does nothing to prevent it or inform anyone that's what's happening. It's, like, for science or something.)
You know, they all have size kinks in this relationship. It requires a little coordination to get grindy on Kate in a way that's good for her because of the height differences. Jason can and will hoist her up with his forearms under her thighs like he's a fucking chair so she can get her legs around Dick's waist. (The Boys are learning the benefits of teamwork! something something Kate wants to be degraded a little so they talk about sharing their toy)
This is impressive because while Kate is smaller than both of them which is not even HARD, she is not small because my personal headcanon is girl thicc. She THICCCCCCC because I said so
But anyway people generally don't hoist her around. Or they do, but they're all enhanced or mutants or mutates or straight up aliens. Clint has yeeted her before but that's about it for normal humans. They also have a weird hivemind connection sometimes so she can tell when he's about to toss her and can help. Whatever, the point is the boys manhandle her which is NOT something she just allows, partly because trauma and partly because it's not DIGNIFIED, she does actually need some of these people to respect her and being hauled about like a sack of potatoes does not help make that point. Dick and Jason recognizing it for the honor it is and take full advantage of it.
Thinking about That Jason Todd Pose as he directs Dick and Kate to put on a show for him (they were probably being obnoxious at a gala or trying to steal from Red Hood for god knows what reason). Will have them do fucknasty shit and write the most beautiful poetry about it, it's very confusing for Dick and Kate but they don't mind.
It's audience participation porn, basically.
I feel like Dick would try to "train" Jason how to fuck Kate right, like coaching him or something, get some of that Discowing/Robin dynamic going, probably trying to tap into some kind of trust or bond idk. but they don't realize they're doing so, this is different from how they normally objectify Kate. Like, they're talking about her like she's not there, ignoring her, but for real, not in a sexy way. They are arguing??!
Kate is like wow actually maybe neither of you get to fuck me. OR MAYBE A COMPETITION?? over who has the best technique. It winds up with Kate pegging them and they're fucked dumb making Kate go >:) I am the best
This cannot stand. The next day they work together (teamwork again!) to keep her cock drunk all day.
One of them goes "about last night..." and Kate is all yesssss with suggestive eyebrows. And then one of the boys says her technique could use some work. Kate squawking indignation she has NEVER had a complaint about her strap game ( definitely something they will revisit later when they don't have plans. Unfortunately this whole weekend is booked solid)
Dick: baby it's not that it was bad
Kate: *angery bird noises*
Jason: we just want to give you some pointers, sweets.
Kate: *angrier bird noises but begrudgingly listening because she wants to know how to make them feel even BETTER next time*
This is a TRICK, btw, "giving her pointers" turns into "a demonstration" turns into "a hands on demonstration" because, well-- here, if you feel it you'll know what they're talking about
its just them all day passing her back and forth. Tbh mostly edging her, they are VERY mean about it and if her brain wasn't leaking out her ears she would be planning retaliation. Unfortunately they are fucking her brainless.
Maybe don't be so cocky next time baby :(
instead of teaching each other how to fuck her they're teaching her how to fuck them. If she can't remember the finer points they will just have to do the lesson again. Oh no :(
....sorry if you wanted some deep emotional stuff.
Had a dream the other night while convalescing about Dick and Kate. The first part was them running into each other at a hospital. Dick is inpatient and high as balls and Kate is supposed to be getting a broken arm set and is ALSO high as balls but she and Clint are on the run from some goons
anyway
The Bats are all pretty aware of who the Avengers et al are, but nobody knows who the Bats are. So like Tim and Babs and Duke see Kate and Clint duck into Dick's room to hide and are all agents of chaos so go "Dick! Quick who is your favorite Avenger" and of COURSE he is like "hawkeye" and as Clint braces himself to head off Kate's rant at the pass, Dick starts waxing poetic about how great hawkeye is and that she's so awesome and funny and smart and gosh her hair is nice and so is her smile she's NOT his favorite because she's pretty but she IS pretty do you think she likes him?
And Kate would be going omg Dick Grayson has a crush on me but they are being hunted for sport they don't have time
The second thing was Hawkeye stabbing Nightwing in the shoulder not realizing who he is and then Oracle talking her through engaging one of his suit's safety measures to give him a jolt (Kate, with her hands around his throat: is this, like, a thing?!? This is a kink thing, isn't it?!??!)
Dick finds this hilarious when he comes to (both the stabbing and the strangling) and Kate is losing her mind, to which Dick is all " ohhh no baby it's okay I promise :o" and then they smootch.
dc brain rot anon here for the interdimensional booty call just to say: listen. having an interdimensional boy toy requires coordination. you guys have to schedule that shit. you sadly cannot share a google calendar across the multiverse. this is how kate ends up with events in her calendar titled “dick appointment” for her… well, her dick appointments. with dick.
ngl i was honestly thinking they just randomly show up at each other's door when they land in the other's universe but this is SO much better
like kate's team and friends etc know she has a friend named dick and he's also like a regular human team leader, kate says she has a dick appointment and they know she's meeting dick so they're just like lol you guys have such a weird friendship you're such a nerd have fun doing team leader shit kate byee not realizing that it's A DICK APPOINTMENT WITH DICK
they don't realize this until kate winds up in a shoulder immobilizer and someone is like "well at least you have a dick appointment to look forward to" and kate responds with "i'm pretty sure i'm not supposed to take the immobilizer off just to have sex" and her entire team bluescreens for a minute
dick comes over and then he just...hangs out with her? even though the whole point of them meeting up today is for boning? he's not even getting any they just hang out and watch dog cops and dick braids her hair back so it stops getting caught in the straps of the shoulder immobilizer? kate has to Take a Minute to reassess their relationship. he orders doordash for them? kate falls asleep on him and he carries her to bed, makes a little wall of pillows in front of her and then spoons up behind her to keep her from rolling over in the middle of the night and hurting herself (she's a restless sleeper) and it's just SO sweet
the AMOUNT of coordination these booty calls would take. at some point donna sits down and is like. babe. babe. bestie. is the sex really that good? you've been trying to figure this scheduling out for three days. is it REALLY that good.
at which point dick points out, exCUse me, the last time we got together we didn't even HAVE sex, so, you know
donna just STARES at him because eXCuse ME we worked a mission AROUND that booty call and you didn't even get booty? DICK OH MY GOD. Donna immediately texts like half the Titans to conference in on "dick is it really about the sex, buddy? is it?" They stage an intervention for him to alert him to the fact he's caught feelings
Donna: I have a confession
Dick: oh no
Donna: Dick, you're in love with Kate Bishop
Dick:
Dick: oh my god
