You know the thing where Gotham has its own timezone except that it's slang for the termporal fuckery caused by the many many layers of curses embedded into the city?
Yeah that, but I like to think Central City has a similar problem. The amount of speed speedforce used by the like 3+ speedsters living there at any given moment sits in the air around the city to the point where it begins to effect how time passes. The speedsters don't age faster than normal people thanks to whatever speedforce based logic is applied, but eventually there's so much ambient speedforce floating around in Central that the entire city gets affected.
As a result the Bat family and the Flash family have known each other existed since the 40s/50s even if it took them a couple decades to actually meet
Could I request a headcanon of treating their injuries for Bale!Bruce Wayne, Wally west, Jason todd and Aqualad please

Masterlist Navigation
Bruce Wayne
• Bruce would probably try to avoid you at first if he was seriously injured, he doesn’t want you to worry and he certainly can’t stand it when you show him sympathy for the pain he’s in. If Alfred’s not around then he’ll use you as a second resort, even though it will crush his ego a bit.
• He hates getting injuries, but he’s not really ashamed of getting them unless someone got away or someone got hurt that wasn’t supposed to. He’ll happily get hurt countless times in order to help people, no matter how often you tell him off for it while stitching him up.
• Bruce gets stitched up quite often, so he really won’t be bothered by the pain while you’re helping him out. However, he will try to keep up appearances in front of you to make it seem like he’s handling it better than he is, he won’t want to be vulnerable around you unless he’s known you for a very long time.
• If Alfred is busy, the wound isn’t that bad, or he just so happens to be near you when he needs to have his injuries checked at, then you might end up helping him out quite often. He wouldn’t plan on this, but he appreciates you being there when he needs it.
• Since the two of you are used to each other’s company and he prefers you being around, he’ll probably want you to stay with him for a while after his injury has been treated. In his earlier days of being Batman he wouldn’t have wanted company after an injury, but he’s come over that after it became harder to get people to leave him isolated.
Wally West
• It’s hard for someone to get a hold on Wally and hurt him, but when they do he’s absolutely defeated afterwards. He doesn’t want to admit it but he feels ashamed even when he keeps on a smile through the pain, you can’t help but look at him like a kicked puppy once he comes to you to get patched up.
• Wally wouldn’t be ashamed of the injury, depending on what it is, but as long as the injury didn’t prevent him from helping people then he would mainly just be bashful about it. He tries his best to make it into a situation he can joke about, mainly to avoid getting stressed himself.
• He is actually much more squeamish than you’d think when it comes to his own injuries. Fighting others and seeing their injuries is fine, but having to look at his own is a bit harder for him to deal with if he can get it looked at immediately or his adrenalin is wearing off.
• He doesn’t get injured as much as the others would, because of his speed he’s more likely to dodge anything that could cause him harm. But, he does come home with an injury every now and then to the point where it wouldn’t be anything dramatic if he did somehow sustain an injury. It comes with the job.
• Wally is pretty clingy, even without an injury, so he’d want you to spend time with him especially if he’s hurt. Once he’s all stitched up or his injury has been seen to he’ll spend almost all of his time with you until he’s capable of running around again freely.
Jason Todd
• Jason needs comfort even if he won’t admit it, soo when he comes to you to fix up his injuries it’s more so that he can receive comfort rather than relying on you to stitch him up. He has plenty of people that could deal with his injuries, but it’s you that he wants to spend time with.
• Jason hates to admit that he’s got an injury, and hates even more to admit that he’s in pain. Even if he is capable of being vulnerable around you and comes to you for help, he’s still going to have a hard time expressing it fully and asking for the help he really needs. If you weren’t around then he’d just stitch himself up, and in desperate occasions he’d go to Alfred.
• On the outside, he’d be handling you stitching him up or caring for his injury pretty well and may try his best to be stoic about it for as long as he can. On the inside, he’s in agony. It’ll take a lot of time and a big attempt to break down his walls for him to freely tell you how much pain he’s in or express what he’s going through at all.
• Jason tends to pick the tougher guys to fight against, especially those that have a lot of men working for them. So, despite his weapons and training, he’s still going to sustain injuries pretty often. Thankfully, the one’s you deal with for him aren’t too major.
• Jason is actually desperate for company, while he’s injured or not. And the fact that you’re willing to be near him and help him when he’s hurt gives him a lot of comfort that he’s been missing out on. It’s not often he gets close to people, so he’s going to take advantage of you being around for as long as he can.
Aqualad
• If it’s been established that he’s more than welcome to come to you when he’s been injured, then he definitely will. It might make sense going to someone more qualified, but his injury being dealt with by your hands makes him feel better about the situation.
• He wouldn’t be ashamed of the injury, but he would be worried as to how he let it happen and how it could possibly happen again if he wasn’t careful. It makes him much more vigilant about things after he gets an injury he knows he could have prevented.
• The pain he’s going through and how he’s struggling with the injury while you’re attending to it is going to be obvious, but he does try his best. He’s good at keeping still when you need him to, but will express how much hurts at the same time.
• This really isn’t a regular thing, usually he’s able to deal with the people he goes up against fairly well. Every once in a while he does come back with some sort of injury, but it’s definitely not a regular occurrence, especially if he has someone else that could see to his injury too.
• He does like you to stay with him once you’re done helping him with whatever injury he has, but that’s mainly for the conversations he can have with you. He’s mostly going to just listen to you talk, and it’s a nice distraction for him.
I just read The Flash #31, and I KNOW in my soul that the rest of the family has gotten the stink eye from more than one person doing that stupid trend because "Not you! I mean, thanks, Impulse. But I don’t get paid if it isn't THE Flash!"
FlashFam headcanons! Barry and Wally have scars from where they were struck by lightning. All the FlashFam have scars somewhere- accelerated healing means they can heal otherwise certainly fatal injuries before they get a chance to bleed out, but it's not perfect and it does still leave scars, especially the big injuries.
You get a bonus headcanon about swimwear--Barry wears those 50's style speedos with the high waist, because they're old fashioned and kinda weird but also flattering and that's what I go for when I'm dressing him. Wally wears moderately short trunks.
So! I actually have this headcanon myself but I attempted Lichtenberg figures on Barry once, failed miserably, and never tried it again til recently on a piece that's too spicy to post.
Barry and Wally both have scars from their lightning strike (and they slightly resemble their individual Flash emblems).
I headcanon that all the Speedsters are really deep sleepers. Everything they do is more intense, eating, running, fighting, and of course sleeping. It's the real reason they don't patrol at night, because Barry would get woken up by his alarm like
And it takes him another hour to be fully fuctional
(Okay, so these are gonna be little tid-bits that pop into my mind that I don’t have a category for. I don’t know how often they will be, or how often I will post them, but hopefully I can bring some joy with even small theories like these)
okay first one I think is that as a kid Ryuga used to be non-verbal. He couldn’t talk until he was nearly in his double digits, so he learned to communicate through sign language, or Japanese Sign Language (JSL). He still knows how to speak it fluently, though he doesn’t like to show it because he doesn’t like people asking questions about how he knows how to sign so well. He slips in it from time to time, making movements with his hands that match the words he’s speaking, though most of the time he does it subconsciously. More recently he’s taken up ASL for his travels as this is one of the more popular and well known forms.
Step 3, realize that you have over a thousand words and that is now more of an entire AU or even a short fic over a headcanon and cry in despair because now your brain is stuck and you have an entire new universe to dedicate time to
