The New Suit Is Nice And Everything But When Will The Finger Stripes Come Back From War??

Power

Jason always avoided power, he became centurion because the old one finished his time in the legion and proposed Jason for the job, he became praetor because he slayed Krios, he never felt comfortable, he was relieved when Frank took his place.

The old praetors, the ones who raised him, teached him about the old roman leaders, the sons and daughters of Jupiter, all of them falling for ambition, cursing the lives of all the people around they.

Having the title of Pontifex maximus, was terrifying, he had more power than the praetors, he could act like a dictator, or he could fail, incapable of honoring all the gods.

Standing in front of a mirror, in the house the senate gave him, he hold the robes, remembering all the meetings, the first ones, when old legionaries kept an eye on him, bored, watching the grown-ups talk, later, sitting in the back with Reyna, explaining to the young girl the work of all the people, pointing at the important ones, when he was a centurion, the youngest in more than a century, the six months he was a praetor, talking about the reconstruction of New Rome, hopping a long time with peace, now, with a new title, he was going to talk in the senate again.

“Why romans are so stuck-up?” asked Leo, while he entered the room “That's why I love greeks, just sitting in a ping pong table, drinking soda, threatening other people with knives, that's a war council, not this”

“We are not in a war council, if that's the case, I would be wearing an armor and all of my medals”

They heard Piper calling them from the door, something about Reyna waiting for them.

“You should stop worrying, we aren’t letting you get air-headed, we all are with you, to honor the minor gods, and, if your ambition gets too dangerous, I’m sure that Reyna will ground you, La Reina de Roma won’t let you destroy her kingdom”

[Nope]

[It’s what he deserves. This’ll never happen in canon but in those conner luthor aus where kal and lex are on good terms and raise kon as the weird kid that he is? yeah]

[Does ‘helping your little bro sneak out to meet your respective bats and offering him a ride’ count as fun brother stuff?]

I am so fucking sick of CGI this, CGI that. give me back on location filming (when possible), give me back intricate hauntingly realistic animatronics and puppets, give me back handmade props & masks & skillful make up……..just give me back practical effects I am begging

quick, someone ask me if i just spent the past however many weeks working on a google slides project in which i catalogued every single canon batkid nickname i could find WITH comic sources for every panel even though i have finals to study for, essays to write, and fics to work on 

BECAUSE THE ANSWER IS YES

and there are about a million more slides showing the random canon nicknames i found while also addressing popular fanon nicknames that are misconstrued as canon, so PLEASE use this slideshow as a resource because i spent too much time on this thing for it to go to waste 

“Dick Grayson’s concept design for Damian’s Robin uniform.”

From Batman Files.

DICK DESIGNED DAMIAN’S UNIFORM, GUYS. WITH NO DISCO COLLARS. OR FEATHERS. 

So he isn’t totally helpless when it comes to fashion. :’D

Champion

Leo always enjoyed seeing Jason spar, the way he moves, like the wind, sometimes fast and destructive, like an hurricane, or slow, quiet and silent, like a heavy summer day, and the experience get better when the blond used his powers, the bolts coming out of his gladius, the raw energy, the way he moves with the wind, using the air to affect his enemies, jumping higher that any human being, staying up in the sky, like a superhero, like Superman.

Jason always looked confident when he was fighting, like he knows what he was, a fighter.

“Cariño” said Leo, sitting up, stretching his limbs “You killed that dummies, you can rest a little bit, I’m sure they won’t wake up and take revenge, di Angelo isn’t close to revive them”

“They weren’t alive, Nico can’t…”

Leo kissed the Son of Jupiter, fast and humid, making a really high smack sound, giggling after the face of Jason, the blush and the sweet smile, The Stupid Boy in Love kind of smile like Piper like to call.

“You can rest, you are not Superman, no the real one, you have weaknesses”

“But the Saturnalias are coming, and Reyna want me to fight against Percy or Nico, or both, and, as the only Roman, I have to shine”

Seeing the face of Jason, Leo could guess that the boy wasn’t sleeping the right hours, the bags under his eyes, the shineless hair, the rigid muscles, all Jason screamed tired, and the hearth of Leo icht, because his boyfriend was worrying too much, at the point of being sick, because of his duty.

“Jay Jay, you are blond, your hair is always shining”

The deep, sweet laugh, make Leo happy, holding the sword, he put it back in the case hanging from Jason hips, rubbing his hands along the waist and back of the boy, bringing him closer, in a hug.

“I’m the champion of Juno, I have to be the best”

“You are the golden boy of New Rome, the favorite pup of Lupa, you were essential to both wars, you are their champion, I think the people will be happy if all of you gave a great show, and Hazel can be there too”

Intertwining his fingers in Leo’s curls, Jason sighed deep, stretching the hug, kissing the head of the Son of Hephaestus, smiling happy.

“And I lost enough of my daily Sexy Time, is a lost that my boyfriend trained super hard and I can’t enjoy the looks”
