batsis!reader in the variants' universes!
summary: How's Batsis!Reader holding up in the other Invincible universes?
pairing(s): al ghul!batsis!reader x invincible variants, hence: viltrumite mark, mohawk mark, sinister mark, omni-mark and maskless mark! i know there are more but be aware that this just is how most of the batsis in the other universes are doing anyway lmao
warnings: headcanon format, baby making mentions, unhealthy relationships, mention of harems and murder lmao, at some point this gets kinda dark ngl... not detailed, but it's implied pretty heavily that most variants kept reader under captivity, suicide, implied domestic violence
author's note: (kinda) requested by @xirquen! i just wanted to get this out of my system really 💔 i fear my favoritism for viltrumite mark is showing but anyways... he's the only ooc one i fear
original fic ⮕ fighting the hating the boyfriend final boss(es)
VILTRUMITE MARK:
the only reality where reader ended up being treated like a queen and not a prisoner lmfao 😭
i imagine that batsis stayed with the al ghuls in this reality, and got raised as heir by ra's. damian probably surrendered to being her right hand and bodyguard, and when eventually the pit stops working for ra's and he dies, the league passes down to her.
as the shadows were probably the only humans prone to surrendering to the viltrumites, seeing as they recognised their power and how useless fighting back would've been, i like to think that viltrumite mark immediately got interested in batsis!reader. mostly because you volunteered to take over the planet with the league in his stead as a show of loyalty LMAO.
girly you wanted that place in the empire BAD. the viltrumites propose to end world hunger and the environmental crisis in weeks when ra's didn't manage to do so in 800 years, so what if a few thousand (maybe millions) of people have to die? they're not your monkeys anyway...
in this universe, the reader isn't the one we know, as she's probably died multiple times and is thus stronger thanks to the effects of the lazarus pit. hence viltrumite mark, completely oblivious that her strength is absolutely explainable, thinking that her unnatural ability and her utter agreement to the viltrumite cause must be signs from the universe that she's the mate the universe designated for him.
honestly, nothing about your relationship would ever be considered normal, but you guys are just freaky like that. you like the idea of having a half-viltrumite offspring to bring on the league's heritage for thousands of years when you'll inevitably succumb to ra's' same fate (hence see your relationship, and later on marriage by the league's laws, as more of a deal rather than anything else) while mark might just actually be kinda interested in you aside from the whole baby-making quest.
while all of this is happening on earth, on viltrum thragg calls for an emergency meeting with the other soldiers because?? why tf is their best soldier worrying about procreating instead of conquering the planet like he was asked to??
MOHAWK MARK:
bro actually hates you so much that you're like that one itch he never managed to scratch.
until he just kills you off ofc ❤️ then proceeds to spend the rest of his life trying to make women around him resemble you as much as possible because AT LEAST YOU MADE HIM FEEL SOMETHING. it seems this guy doesn't get the difference between sexual frustration and pure unadulterated hate, and the girls around him dressed up as you aren't even half the person you used to be. this could've been a good enemies to lovers but he just HAD to kill you.
so, that's just great. now he's got a harem of bad pretenders and actresses and he doesn't feel anything but vague indifference towards all of them.
don't tell this dude you're still alive in the main universe pls.
SINISTER MARK:
he's like that one manager who's kinda creepy and most certainly a molester that you can't do ANYTHING about.
another universe where reader got raised by the league! here, ra's was still alive when invincible and omni-man started to take over the world, and again, sided peacefully with the viltrumites, trying to ignore the way the guy absolutely wasn't even listening to him but instead staring into your soul.
sinister mark agrees not to obliterate nanda parbat and all the league with it - on one condition. that he gets to have you.
ra's isn't amused with the request at all. you're his heir, after all, his first grandkid and his best soldier- what is he supposed to do without you? but then again, it's not like any of you have much of a choice. he'll either have you willingly or he'll just take you, and the lot of you figure that going without a fight will be better for both you and the league's sake.
but life with the guy is no joke.
on the way to viltrum (because of course he just HAD to uproot your entire life) you figure that you'll go mad before you even set foot on the planet because the guy. is. crazy. and your grandfather is ra's al ghul, for fuck's sake - so you'd say you've seen some things in your life - but he's just on a whole other level, and not the good kind. let's not forget that this guy literally eats people lmao.
you technically can't escape, seeing as he could obliterate the entirety of nanda parbat with a kick, but that doesn't mean you don't try. every subtle attempt is blocked by the man himself, and while he never manages to get you to admit that you were actively trying to escape, that doesn't mean he can't lock you up in your room for weeks after... just in case.
viltrum is brutal on you. the other viltrumites never seemed to care that you were more fragile than them, and mark cares just enough not to let them do unrepairable damage to you because that's HIS job.
being raised the way she was, i honestly doubt reader would've lasted much in such a humiliating environment. she probably made sure to end it for good as soon as a food knife ended up in her hand.
sinister mark? he was just mad he didn't get to kill you first ngl
OMNI-MARK:
so what if for once it wasn't the league to raise reader, but bruce? :D
in this universe batsis ends up being much softer and kind, and probably has no warrior training whatsoever aside from the self defence lessons her father insisted on giving her. i like to think that onmi-mark and her got together young and were high school sweethearts, and when he killed omni-man and took over the planet, she convinced herself that it was just a fluke - that the boy she'd known for years just had enough of his father and took matters into his own hands.
because with you, he's as he always was. attentive, caring, gentle - sure, once or twice or a few times he was a little too rough and sometimes he raises his voice when not needed to, but so what? everyone has bad days.
even with the whole planet-conqueror thing, he makes it work. the two of you get married in a wedding that couldn't be described as anything but normal - aside from the fact that the father of the bride had to avoid trying to kill the groom because that would've been terribly suicidal - and afterwards he makes sure that you have a nice house, not too big like the manor but not too little, either.
it has a nice yard for your future kids to play in and enough space for you to worry about the decor instead of the morality of it all. nevermind that all the neighbors turn out to be working under your husband and casually just forgot to ever tell you.
soon enough, you're pregnant, and your baby boy ends up looking so much like his father that you wonder if he just used you as an incubator for his clone or something. hopefully he won't turn out like him, tho. bruce is already trying to get you out of a situation that is doomed to fail, and he does not need another manipulator in the equation.
MASKLESS MARK:
the only one with no interest in reader aside from being friends with her.
another batsis who grew up with bruce! you guys met in high school and became fast friends alongside william, and you were also the first one to notice the chemistry between them.
soon it became rare to see mark without you or william around and vice versa - so much so that the teachers are pointing out your friendship at parent meetings, empathizing how rare a bond like yours is.
if mark knows something, it's a given you know it too. at some point words aren't even needed anymore, and a glance is all you guys need to understand what's happening. it's uncanny, really.
but like in most universes, unfortunately, things just have to go downhill.
when mark gets his powers and nolan explains viltrum's true intentions to him, he fights his father. he tells him that he's got friends, people he loves - a vaguely normal future ahead of him that doesn't entail becoming part of a colonial empire built on heinous acts like genocides and planet obliterations.
so nolan proceeds to do the only thing that comes to his mind - he destroys that future while mark, beaten to an inch of his life, isn't able to do anything. first, william. then, eve. last, you.
nolan holds a hand around debbie's neck and tells mark that unless he changes his idea about the empire right now, his mother will follow the 'other insects' to the grave. and mark's already seen too much death to try denying him again.
this absolutely isn't me planning a whole other fic with the variants coming to the main universe nooo...
