[DC comics] Truly, a missed opportunity for an iconic duo
I absolutly love this
Ok, so, you know that a lot of the times Lex (when he HAD hair) is a red head, or at least was.
Now, Kon is like and half Clone, because he's got bot Superman and Lex Luthor DNA, so technically he got the redhead gene.
After this premesis let's talk about Tim clone problem and Timkon clone baby. So Tim mixed his DNA with the one of Kon and ended up in a baby. Usually in fics the baby ends up resembling Tim or Kon or both of them, so with Black hair and blue eyes and all, what if the baby ended up resembling both Lex and Janet Drake, so with Lex red hair and Janet eyes, and for face a mixture of both Kon and Tim?
What if the Timkon clone baby was a redhead?

Kon-El fic rec
You know how Kon-El/Conner Kent is the Clone/Child of Superman and Lex Luthor, no?
Well, I was searching for fics where Cadmus used Batman/Bruce Wayne (depending on how they obtained it) DNA and not Lex one.
For now I found like only one that is omegaverse but I'm waiting for it to update, so I was searching for more
It can be SuperBat or not, I don't really mind, I just want to find more fics with this concept
Another Clone Danny x batfam au, Danny was also full dead before he's shoved into a clone body, but it's not really relevant in this part.
[Pt2: here]
Danny isn't a hundred percent sure how he got here. Last thing he remembered was running away from the GIW and his parents. They got a lucky shot on him, and he was losing ectoplasum fast. He's pretty sure he was about to fully End. He remembers being mildly amused over his parents' inventions killing him twice, before it all goes dark.
He woke up as a baby. A clone baby by the looks of his environment, an underground lab(?). His creator(?) is staring at him as if he's a miracle, and given the fancy sci-fi screen thingy (a tablet? Or ipad? He's not sure how he knows these terms) in front of the cloning tank say "attempt 99", he probably is this guy's miracle.
Danny doesn't see anyone else around, and this guy, a teenager about Jazz's age (?), seems happy on a personal level to see Danny wiggling in the tank. So it's not likely he was forced to do this. Whatever this is..
"I did it...? Holy shit! I did it!" The teen cheers before freezing, "I'm a parent now.. I did not think this through... welp, I'm a parent now."
The guy checks his vitals before draining the tank. Danny is handled as if he's the most precious, yet breakable thing in the world to this kid.
"Hello, I'm Tim, your dad, I guess." The kid, Tim, introduces himself, and Danny giggles at him because if Danny was a normal baby, he'd have no idea what he was saying. "You're the clone of my dead best friend. He was half kryptonian. I promise to do my best to help you learn your powers and culture. I'll break into Clark's ice fortress if I have to to do it."
Danny has no idea what any of that means, but Tim seems determined, so Danny isn't too worried. He's more worried about the power thing. Are they going to be completely different from his old ones? Does he still have access to his ghost powers?
His little baby body can't handle his big emotions, and he starts crying. Tim panics, checking for mess, before realizing he doesn't have baby supplies. He clearly didn't think his cloning attempt would work with how unprepared he is. And that's valid if Danny really is his 99th attempt.
Tim bundles Danny up and rushes them to the nearest store that has baby supplies. Danny is clothed and fed promptly and given a wolf plushy. Danny isn't sure about the wolf thing, but the stuffie does sooth his baby instincts, so he rolls with it.
"Alright, baby. I... I didn't think of a name for you. I originally was trying to make a clone closer to Kon's age and figured they could name themselves, like Kon did." Tim sighs, slightly rocking Danny in his arms. "Man, I must seem insane talking to a baby. A baby I made because I couldn't deal with one more person in my life being dead or gone."
Danny notes the interesting wording.
"Okay. Can you understand me at all? I forgot to adjust the knowledge download to a year old's level, but that doesn't mean your baby brain absorbed any of the info."
Ooooh, that explains why he knows things that didn't exist where he's from.
Danny blows spit bubbles and attempts to nod. It's a bit hard, his baby muscles not developed enough for the action. Tim understands, though.
"Okay, okay." Tim looking both scared and relieved. "How about you pat me once for yes and twice for no? At least for now. I don't want you to hurt yourself."
Danny lightly smacks a hand to Tim's face. They both giggle over it.
"Alright, so I'm going to list off names, and you can tell me yes or no, okay?" One pat. "Okay, let's see."
Danny wonders if he can get a new name that can still let him have Danny as a nickname.
"Jasper" No
"Darin" No
"Dugu" No??
"Presh?" No! Tim? Where are you getting these names??
"Ratan" No
"Cicil" No
"Matthew" No
"Theo?" No
"Alihan" No
"Atiya" Nope
"Tesher" No
"Senai" No
"Uuum... Habwat?" No
"Geoffrey" No
"Amari?" Nope
"Jordan" ... huh, technically could get Danny from that, but still. No.
"Riley?" No
"Drew?" Nope
"Nova" Oooo so tempting, but no
"Esteban" Nope
"Izar" No
"Aedan?" You know what, good enough. That's Danny's new name.
Tim looks misty eyed when Danny finally agrees to a name.
"Alright, welcome to the world, Aedan Drake." Danny blows bubbles at him. "We'll visit adding Kent and getting you a proper kryptonian name when you can actually speak and understand what those names mean. Kon's human name was Conner Kent, and his kryptonian name was Kon-El. It translates to abomination of the house of El. He was a clone of Kal-El and wasn't treated well for it. I won't let the Els treat you as they treated him."
Tim looks pissed on his friend's behalf and cradles Danny protectively.
"The Els don't matter anyways. You will always be a Drake. And Drakes protect what they claim with viciousness." He kisses Danny's forehead. He then moves to the fanciest computer Danny has ever seen, and with the hand not supporting Danny's body, starts designing what appears to be a bulletproof and stabproof baby carrier. "I should have waited til after I finish hunting for clues to get Bruce, he's my adoptive father, out of the timestream. My siblings think I'm crazy, which creating a clone isn't helping my case over, but I know he's alive. I found evidence, just not enough to prove it to them."
Danny starts nodding off. Tim's ramblings are soothing and his hold gentle, Danny's tiny baby body doesn't stand a chance at staying awake. He's sad he's missing out on all the dad lore because of it.
Once the carrier is ready, Tim starts going out and taking Danny with him. Danny is actually pretty safe on these outings. The carrier is bulletproof, stabproof, has tinted bulletproof glass so Danny can get sun without people seeing him, it's temperature controlled, well ventilated, and has plenty of cushion. Seriously, Danny is sure the whole thing is like 60 pounds with him in it, but Tim gives zero fucks. He's determined to keep Danny safe.
It's super touching. And Danny swears to one day return the favour. The day is closer than he thinks when a creepy old fucker crawls out of the woodworks. Danny hates him instantly. Tim explaining the creep's relation to Tim's family doesn't change Danny's mind. In fact, it probably makes his opinion on this Ra's Al Gul even worse. And once he sees how that pedo looks at his sweet new dad, he plans to be an absolute menace.
Did we all collectively agree that Tim chooses to have a public feud with Red Robin as a way to cover his identity?
___
Reporter, pushing a microphone on RR: What are your thoughts on Tim Wayne's recent kidnapping?
Red Robin, deadpan: He's an asshole cosplaying a feral racoon and whiny bitch.
-Later that day-
Tim, watching the news: Well fuck you too *flips off the TV*
Batfam: *concerned*
___
Bernard, who's publicly in a relationship with Timothy Drake-Wayne, was caught kissing RR on a rooftop. Kon-El, who the world thinks definitely has a thing with RR, was seen carrying Tim back to a penthouse at night.
This leads Gotham city to believe that Tim and RR stole eachother's boyfriend. Thus fuelling another war between RR and Tim on twitter.
It didn't help when a picture of Bernard and Superboy having a date was posted online.
___
Tim: *requested and funded a Red Robin joint to be built in Gotham city *
A video of RR staring at the building offended and distained from across the street went viral.
skirting just under the finish line for @90skonweek ! i've been crazy busy all week but i just had to get something out for my favorite era of my favorite guy... consider this originally for day 3's prompt: media!
They were put in charge of babysitting
Just a normal man, taking a normal family photo, with his normal family
Super Sibling Roughhousing
C’mon Conner, say it zestier
hay I see your superfam drawings a lot and I was wondering if you would like an idea. Try drawing maws Conner as the big brother to both Jon and Lara.
Hi there! I have thought of some ideas with Conner, I just need to draft them out on paper. Although I like to focus on Clois, Jon, and Lara, I do like the idea of adding the other Kents too. I’ll work something out soon with Conner, don’t worry🙂👍
The amount of joy I feel is immeasurable.
Look at my babies!!!
Just to add to this, the entirety of the core-four/Tim's era of sidekicks are all drawn in incorrect ages at some point (or all the time in Barts' case)
Going off their ages in the original YJ comics, Tim is 2 years younger than Jason Todd (who will be my reference point), Bart and Cassie (I think) are both a year older than Tim (making them 1 year younger than Jason), and lastly KON IS THE SAME AGE AS JASON!
Which is something to think about since Jason is drawn like a man going through a mid-life crises but Kon is still drawn early 20s (or younger.)
Therefore, (going off Jason's' age being 22-23):
Tim: 20-21
Bart and Cassie: 21-22
Kon: 22-23
Personally, I think Kon and Cassie are the only two that are drawn to their correct ages (including Jason) and DC need to get their act together and get everyone's ages in order.
"Bart's aging has always been everywhere so it's not invalid to draw him like this [9-11 years old]."
Incorrect. While Bart's aging has been variable throughout the comics it has always been explained by a very clear and blatant events preceding the aging.
The youngest Bart has been in the comics barring flashbacks, and literal one-off aging time shenanigans, is 12 which was a thing for all of 3 pages then he rapidly aged to 14 and was stable for a long, long time.
Bart did not experience any changes in his aging (baring one gag issue where he was a toddler, and the Sins of Youth arc where he was an adult temporarily) for at least two years comic-time.
After apprehending Superboy Prime, Bart was aged to an adult, against the advisement of Geoff Johns and Mark Waid he spent time as The Flash until he was given a mercy kill.
Bart was brought back to life by Brainiac 5 in Legion of Three Worlds where he was reset back to his original age before he was aged up, landing him around 16-17 years old.
Flashpoint happened and he was taken out of comic continuity.
Bart come BACK into comic continuity but we are uncertain what his age is - and this is also something he himself is noted as saying he's not sure what his age is either. Logically, if he never aged while in the Speed Force then when he popped back out he would still be around 17 years old. This is the youngest he can be. Tim, Cassie and Cissie meanwhile aged around a year since Flashpoint and their ages are nebulous. Kon's age as well is uncertain.
Realistically, the Core Four should be in the 18-20 range at the youngest, but if we're going to be 'fair' and accept the reboot fucked age relationships up - then their last posted ages anywhere from 16-18 would be valid.
Bart is not being drawn anywhere near that age group currently in the current run of The Flash and is consistently being depicted as smaller than Jai. This could be valid, as 13 year olds can be VERY BIG and for some completely at their adult height - but the thing is Bart is being drawn SMALLER than he was pre-Flashpoint.
I am so sorry I am so agitated. Even being FAIR it doesn't add up or make sense.
Fixed typos and an error.
*over text*
Kon, texting: Guess you’ll have to send me hot texts tonight
Tim, also texting: If I had 8 limbs like an octopus I’d touch you with all of them.
Kon: Ok try again

Part 2
They were in the Watchtower now, having decided it was a better for them to talk to the Ghost King there, away from prying eyes and people.
Although Conner thought he was playing it off cool anyone with super-hearing could hear how fast his heart was beating, from nervousness or excitement they weren't sure but one thing's for certain is that they were about to get answers.
The Ghost King was set to arrive in a couple of minutes so that gave everybody some time to prepare. Most of them were tidying up while the magic users were grilling into everybody what and what not to say or ask at risk of enraging their guest.
Superboy felt his presence long before his superhearing caught the swish of the familiar red cape.
"Soo... Mom?"
Conner presses his lips together, refusing to meet Clark's eyes, he shrugs but the movement is barely visible.
"Were you planning tell me?"
"Well.. yeah, I mean.. eventually."
A moment of silence passes by.
"Did.. did you go.. looking for him?"
"No.. he was just.. I ran into him on the mission regarding the rampaging necromancer who was trying to summon an army of undead to take over an island he claimed was rightfully his. "
"The necromancer? That's.. that was three months ago, why did..." Clark pauses, he realises why Conner didn't tell him.
Conner's still avoiding his eyes.
Clark sighs, "I.." Conner's shoulders stiffen.
"I'm sorry, I didn't..." He places his hand on Conner's shoulder, which prompts Conner to look up at him for a moment, before shifting his gaze to the wall behind him.
"I'm not mad, I'm just...confused. I thought... I thought we were doing okay."
Conner opens his mouth but doesn't speak for a moment.
"Hey.."
Conner looks back to Clark.
"Talk to me bud, I want to listen."
Conner's shoulders fall.
"I just.. didn't know how you'd react I guess. I was just.. scared."
Clark doesn't respond for a moment, Conner looks away again. He moves to step away, but he's stopped when Clark drags him into a hug. Conner stiffens again, but almost immediately melts into it. He presses his face into Clark's arm.
Clark sighs again, and when he speaks, his voice is muffled by Conner's hair.
"I'm sorry Con.. I am. I should've done better. I should've been better. You deserved better. I wish you would've felt like you could tell me. But.. I'd love to hear about him now.."
Looking up at the man he can now comfortably call his father Conner opens his mouth to speak, wanting to share alll the things he has been up to with his other parent, but before he could utter another word a green portal appeared right there in the conference room.
It's appearence captured the attention of every hero in the room who assumed their positions, giving the portal their full attention. Whatever Clark wanted to know he was about to find out right now.
[Part: 1 Here]
Did Tim also try to clone Bart aswell or is that a lie I've been fed by the fandom? I know there are probably hundreds of stories revolving around Tim, Kon and the cloning situation but what about Bart? If Tim did attempt to clone him lots of times aswell how does he feel about it? Does anyone have any fic recs I can read?
