This is pure fluff and going to be updated more infrequently then I already do. The basic premise, inspired by my own binge watching of Gossip Girl, is Dick has been watching it too much and decides to start a blog. What he doesn't anticipate is his blog taking off.
Hey there Upper East Siders,
It's Gossip Girl here, and I have some of the biggest news. While out and about in the city, we had our favorite superhero and Rogue couple Batman and Catwoman spotted up on a rooftop. Was it really only a year ago that on that very same rooftop she got way with some diamond jewelry and more importantly Batman's heart?
Don't believe me, here's a shot of them either passionately working out their professional differences or just arguing. Thanks for the photo by the way anon1234. Are they on or off, well Gossip Girl is going to have to go with on still based on the fact she's not in handcuffs. Or maybe that's just how they play around. Either way, no one is running away and it doesn't look like there have been any big robberies lately so this is a social call.
Either way, it'll be interesting to watch how this plays out. Will they finally get over their different walks of life to become the star studded couple we know them to be or are they just too different to make it work. You decide.
You know you love me, XOXO
"What the hell are you doing Grayson?" Damian demanded, sternly looking over the laptop lid at Dick who was giggling to himself as he hit send. Damian grabbed the laptop over Dick's protest, and made his infamous "tt" noise. What it was at was anyone's guess, the bright font, the pretty colors or the subject matter, the entry titled Bat and Cat back again?
"A gossip blog? Really Grayson? You watch too much tv." Damian casually dismissed him, shoving the laptop back at Dick.
"Hey Baby-Bat be nice, it's not like anyone is going to find it." Dick defended himself, "Besides, it's just for my own amusement. It's not like you can tell who anyone in this photo is." Dick had purposefully made sure the photo was just plausible enough, though anyone who really knew Batman and Catwoman knew they spent enough time on the rooftops of jewelry stores like Tiffany's for it to be legit. That was the whole point, anyone who knew anything knew the photo was real.
Damian still looked doubtful and rolled his eyes as he walked off, muttering about how soft and ignorant he was. Dick sighed, it was the great big internet, no one was going to find his dumb blog post right? Dami was just being paranoid, like he always was.
Muttering about paranoia running n the family, Dick began to set up basic profiles for everyone in the community, who they were friends with, who they weren't friends with. That sort of thing. All things a good Gossip site should have.
Selina woke up a few days later to her phone constantly buzzing. She had been up late last night patrolling a new target, an art collector was coming to Gotham to show off his collection and it was the perfect Cat target. She'd been out all night, which was why she was upset at having her beauty sleep interrupted at nine. She rolled over trying to avoid it, but one more defiant buzz set her off. She opened up the screen to numerous messages.
Eddie: "What the hell Selina. You know better than to get involved with him."
MR J: "Batsy and Catty sitting in a tree, K-i-s-s-i-n-g."
Ivy: "What the hell is wrong with you Selina?"
Selina didn't bother to go through the rest, all some of the same variations. She instead dialed Ivy, thinking she would be the most rational. Hahaha no, nice try Selina.
"Hi Ivy, good morning to you too-"
"What the hell is wrong with you Selina, you said you were over him." Nothing like some good old fashioned Ivy temper to deal with in the morning. As she listened to Ivy ranting about Selina betraying her and Harley by daring go back to Batman, Selina finally found a pause to interject.
"What are you talking about? The last time we talked we argued." The line was silent for a few moments before Ivy told her to check the news and google her name, then rudely hung up on her. Selina sighed, typical Ivy.
Upon doing so, Selina promptly spit out her coffee. There it was in all its glory, her and the Bat on the roof of the store from a few nights, ago, arguing, with some stupid post about how cute they looked and the author was rooting for them to get together.
Selina then checked the name the person posted under and rolled her eyes. Gossip Girl for Rogues and Heroes. Was she back in high school? Gossip Girl had been off the air for years at this point, why did it suddenly get to make a resurgence now? More imporatnly, why did it have to be her life it made a resurgence in. Why couldn't it be in Central City or something? Metropolis even. She checked the websites traffic stats and groaned. Already over a million and growing, and the thing was just a few days old.
A new entry popped up and she, despite her insistence of not feeding the gossip mongers, read it.
Hey there Upper East siders,
Was not expecting that big of a response. Seriously, at all. But one can only wonder, with the resurgence of the Bat-Cat duo, just how the other ladies in Batsy's life feel? After all, we know there's more out there, they're just a bit more camera shy.
Also, speaking of Catwoman, one has to wonder how her BFFs are taking the news. Sure Harley is pretty into go with the flow, you have to be to put up with the Joker, but Ivy's not a fan of the Bat. Considering the long tensions between the green and the Bat, will this tear the Sirens apart or will what doesn't kill you make you stronger? After all, chicks before dicks right?
Speaking of Ivy, here's a recent photo of her and Two-Faced, not so much a hater of men now are you Ivy? Seems like you're not the only Siren hiding a guy in her life now are you?
You know you Love me, XOXO
Selina looked at the photo shocked. That was definitely Ivy and Two-faced alright, who Ivy had sworn she wasn't talking to either. They were both sitting in some cute little café thing, on what looked a lot like a date. The security footage was time-stamped with last Wednesday, so it wasn't from a long time ago or something odd like that. Nope, this was rent, just like Selina's own bat encounter. Ivy was laughing and Harvey was smiling, and Selina felt some growing anger.
Who did Ivy think she was to complain about Selina talking to Batman when here she was talking to Two-faced again? That she supposedly hated?
Selina grabbed her cellphone and re-dialed Ivy, after several rings, she kept getting sent straight to voicemail.
Selina looked back at the laptop and saw a submit section. Still furious at the audacity to lecture her, Selina grinned as she began typing an email to the blog owner, and not even hesitating to hit send. So what if it wasn't completely one hundred percent true, this blog freak wouldn't know the difference right?
Dick was being unusually quiet the past few days in Bruce's opinion. Then he found out why, his algorithms to pick up any news about Batman went off like crazy one morning, and Bruce inwardly groaned when he saw the picture. He knew exactly who the photographer was, and was not happy about it. He was even less happy when he found the source, and the traffic was only growing as more and more news sites picked it up for content.
Bruce calmly printed out the page and the picture and shoved it in front of Dick's computer screen.
"What the hell is this?" Dick shrugged and smiled with what Bruce privately thought of as Dick's attempt at seeming funny.
"I got bored and thought it was harmless." Dick seemed to be trying to shrink in his chair while in the background Damian laughed, enjoying someone else getting in trouble as always. Tim looked up from his coffee interested, and for once Damian choose to indulge Tim with what the reaction was about.
"Well it isn't." Bruce thundered, annoyed with the sheer stupidity that one of his sons thought it was a good idea. "People are going to be hurting themselves trying to take pictures for a blog site, and you're going to get someone in trouble. This is incredibly irresponsible and not to mention a bad idea on all fronts."
Bruce went on, for what felt like a while, until he noticed Dick was no longer paying attention to him and had returned to staring at his computer screen. "What is it now?" He demanded, and Dick handed over his computer to Bruce to look at without a word.
The email was one about Poison Ivy, and included some, interesting pictures of Ivy at a certain pharmacy section called family planning along with a note about how they had been a couple for a while and were just waiting on the time to announce it to the world. Maybe the sign Ivy was buying pregnancy tests meant it was soon?
His shocked silence at the image of Ivy was enough for Dick to find his voice again. "Oh come on Bruce, we can't not keep something that gives us stuff like this." Dick pleaded causing everyone in the room, Alfred included to pour over the laptop. Tim looked incredulous, Damian proclaimed he didn't know what the big deal was and Dick kept insisting they needed to keep such a weapon. Bruce sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Boys weren't supposed to be this complicated. Especially his adult son. Emphasis on the word Adult. "Fine." Bruce spit out, unable to resist knowing information, his one big weakness which they knew of and took full advantage of. "But there are rules."
Dick cheered while that was all it took for the other Batboys to start complaining. Damian was upset he had been labelled as most likely to throw Katanas at you while Tim was insisting his height was wrong. Bruce sighed and went to go grab his coffee, boys were not supposed to be this complicated. And they were not supposed to start a gossip site.
