Y’all these costumes are so good
Titans season 3 ideas:
They are looking for someone starting fires in abandon buildings and the next building they suspect is hosting a rave and the titans but make Connor, Gar and Rose hang outside because they are too young; Rose is the only one annoyed but agrees. Far turns into a fly while Connor and Rose sneak in and gang near the back. The older titans go in and spread out to blend in, Kory drags Dick onto the dance floor to not so suspicious, naturally Hank suggests that Dick look like he’s being tortured. Before Dick can comment he spots Jason and goes to him and tries to talk to him, asking him why he’s there but for the same reason he is. Kory spots someone that looks familiar to her but can’t place it, Dawn notices she’s on the more and follows her and lets the team know with checking to see who heard. Kory moves in closer and garbs someone shoulder and turns them around just before they leave the room; it turns out to be her sister Komand’r. Kom grabs Kory and drags her into the next room and throws her to the ground as Dawn yells and runs to help drawing Kom attention but Kom shoots fire at her and slams the door. Hank grabs Dawn out of the way as Dick and Jason jump the other way. Kom heats the knob before turning to Kory with glowing eyes purple and Kory glow green. They briefly speak to each other in Tamaran and are in the middle of fighting Kom has the upper hand before the older Titans break in the room and charge at Kom with Kory yelling at them to stop. Kom looks at Kory to let her know they their fight is not over shoving Kory away from her, she starts to glow purple and blast fire at the others and Connor jumps in front of the to protect them as best he can. The fire that starts in the room but since they were standing in front of the door it starts to spread to the part of the building hosting the rave. Dick goes to Kory to help her up and suggests the some of them go after Kom but Kory disagrees, saying she’ll be back and they need to get the people out first. They get the people out and regroup outside, Kory is a little stand off-ish as the team discusses what happened in the buildin. It’s Jason that calls out Kory wondering why the person starting fire looks like her, has the same power and she seemed to be her target. Dick want him to back off but they get into the fight as Jason questions how much any of them know about really and the Titans are speechless and Kory admits that was her sister who is trying to kill her for falling to return home.
Her Name is Mar’i
Author’s note: So after the last Ask where someone asked me to write a Dickkory Drabble, I very much fell in love with the idea of the Titans’ universe Dickkory having a baby Mar’i. This fic is testing the waters (and does not follow the end of season two at all because fuck that noise) to see how people like it. I tagged most of the characters in it even if they don’t necessarily speak. This is a Dick Kory Fic, just so everyone’s on the same page, and does not follow the cannon of my other stories. Enjoy and let me know if you’d like to see more of this cute family!
“Come on! They’ll be here any minute!” Garfield tosses Connor another streamer. The purple and gold decorations remind Hank, Dawn, and Donna think about Garth’s birthday. Somehow it doesn’t hurt as much. Rachel rolls her eyes as she and Rose read on the couch.
“Really, Gar? It’s not like she’ll remember it.”
“But we will, Rae.” Garfield’s ears twitch as the security system beeps.
Dick and Kory walk down the hall, carrying precious cargo. Dick enters the code to the elevator. He glances at his girlfriend, smiling at her. She’s so beautiful he still wonders what she sees in him. Kory’s always alternating between sweet and sarcastic that he’s not sure what to believe when he asks. He does know how much he loves her. That part’s always been easy. The ride up is easy. He rests his hand on the middle of her back, pressing a soft kiss to her temple. They get out in the living room.
“Hello?” Dick pokes his head around the corner to the kitchen.
“Welcome home!” Everyone erupts. This doesn’t bode well for them as a piercing cry fills the room. Kory rolls her eyes and bounces the newborn in her arms.
“Off to a great start I see.” Kory looks down at the fussing baby. She rocks side to side, and slowly the baby begins to calm down. She’s definitely got Kory’s coloring, with beautiful dark skin that makes her piercing green eyes stand out even more. But there’s a bit of her father in her features. Dawn and Donna immediately swoop in on their new niece, Hank just behind them acting leisurely about it.
“She’s beautiful, Kory!” Dawn beams.
“Thanks.” Kory smiles at her daughter.
“What’s her name? I know you two were going back and forth on Earth and Tamaranean names.” Donna asks.
“We settled on a name that has Tamaranean and Earth roots.” Kory looks at her boyfriend.
“Mar’i. Our daughter’s name is Mar’i Grayson.”
“No middle name?” Rachel asks, sneaking a peak at the baby. Mar’i gives a tiny yawn.
“No. We thought that was enough. Especially since on Tamaran, her full title would be ‘her royal highness, Princess Mar’i, First of her name, Heir to the Throne.” Kory snorts. Mar’i stretches out, looking around. “You want to go to your daddy, Starshine? Let’s go see Daddy.”
Kory hands the baby over to Dick. The former Boy Wonder can’t help the smile that spreads across his face as he looks down at his daughter. Mar’i gives another yawn, stretching out more. Dawn smiles, “Never thought I’d see Dick Grayson with a cute kid.”
“She is pretty cute,” Hank offers a finger to the baby. Mar’i grabs it in her tiny fist. “Too cute to be related to you. You sure she’s yours, Grayson?”
Before Dick or Kory can answer, Mar’i grunts and pulls on Hank’s finger. They all hear the loud pop and Hank swears, “Fuck! She just broke my finger!”
His shouting scares Mar’i. She starts wailing, dark skin starting to glow. Kory takes the infant just before Mar’i’s body and hair catch fire. Kory shifts side to side trying to calm her. “There, there. You were just protecting Daddy’s honor, weren’t you? Already daddy’s little girl.”
“She broke his finger.” Donna says slowly. “She’s currently on fire.”
“She takes after her mother.” Dick shrugs. Mar’i sneezes, sending a ball of fire at the wall. “She also does that.”
Donna and Dawn look at each other before bursting out laughing. Donna doubles over, “Look, we were thrilled when you said it was a girl. Because you have a lot of karma to pay for from your playboy days. This just makes it better.”
Dick can’t help but laugh along. Kory manages to get Mar’i to calm down, rocking the baby to sleep. Garfield beams as he holds her. She even opens her eyes to see him. Raven and Rose decline for now, preferring to watch. Mar’i takes an instant liking to Dawn and Donna. Connor doesn’t even flinch when she sneezes a fireball at his face. Krypto licks her little feet, making her squeal. Even Hank gets over the injury and lets Mar’i sleep on his chest for a while.
They hadn’t expected to have her in San Francisco. They’d been living in Bludhaven in his old apartment, but a team retreat brought them back. Kory thought she had more time. Mar’i had other ideas. Their beautiful healthy girl. The team reminisces on the couch about old times while Kory nurses Mar’i. Poor baby is so loved out by 7, that Dick and Kory retire to their room. They give her her first real bath at home. She hits the water with fascination. Kory watches as her boyfriend dress their baby. She’d teasingly tossed a pair of Robin themed pajamas at him, only for them to be ignored on the ground. He talks to Mar’i as he puts her diaper on, telling her about everything she looks at. He’s so gentle with his little girl as he holds her close. Kory sings her a lullaby.
Mar’i sleeps in a travel bassinet while her parents get ready for bed. Dick spoons his girlfriend so they can both watch her. He presses a few kisses to the back of her neck. “What are you thinking about, princess?”
“Just…I’m really happy. She’s got her whole life ahead of her. A life without anyone telling her that she has to be a certain thing for her entire identity. She can just…be Mar’i.” Kory smiles sadly. Dick holds her a little tighter.
“You know it’s not that easy. She’s Bruce Wayne’s granddaughter. Sh—”
“That doesn’t matter. She’s Mar’i before she’s anyone else. She can be anything she wants to be.”
Dick smiles at that. “What do you think she’ll grow up to be like?”
“Given that we’re her parents? She’s already doomed to being unbelievably stubborn. Probably very clever given her daddy.” Kory turns a bit to smile at her boyfriend. He tucks a bit of her hair behind her ear.
“Her mom’s pretty smart too…”
“Smart and clever are two different things.” Mar’i gives a tiny sneeze, a bit of fire jumping out from the bassinet. “She might be a hero. Or she might be a dancer. Or a police officer.”
“Whatever she grows up to be, there’s one thing that I know she will be.”
“Oh really? What’s that, Mr. Grayson.”
“Loved, Ms. Anders. She’s going to be loved.”
“Why do I love your cheesy ass?”
“You tell me.” He kisses her gently. They fall asleep, knowing they’ll be woken up to their daughter’s cries for food in a few hours. If they’re honest, they can’t wait.
I deserve good things. I deserve good things. I deserve good things.

Dick face is like why are you throwing this to me?
First images of episode 02x04 “Aqualad”
Four years ago, Dick, Donna, Hank, Dawn and Garth aka Aqualad (guest star DREW VAN ACKER) are living together in Titans Tower, thriving as a superhero team, and growing into a tight-knit family, but their personal feelings start to bleed more and more into their work, and with the arrival of a new villain, the Titans begin to question their destiny as heroes.
“Um, Hank, Dawn, this is Kory Anders. She’s an alien.”
Their reactions;
Dawn: confused and moving on
Jason: wait are you sleeping with dick? Does dick know that he slept with an alien?
Hawk: Seriously WTF?!
Donna: sorry 🤷🏻♀️, you do it next time
Each of those kids has something special, just like you. But they’ve learned that being special and alone doesn’t work. I’m teaching them to have each other’s backs. I could teach you, too.
