I came across the AU idea that Dick Grayson is Richard Parker, and thus, Peter Parker's biological father. There are a few fics where Peter dimension travels to the DC universe and gets to meet his dead father. It is a fun idea, but I have different one.
AU where Peter dimension travels to the DC universe, and the batfam realizes that he is Dick's son, but rather than think he is from another universe, they all come to the conclusion that he is from the future.
It makes sense, after all, the rules of time travel basically boil down to 'don't change anything.' So when Peter is avoiding them and "pretending" not to know them, they just think he is following the rules. (He isn't even really avoiding them, he just has no idea who they are.)
You know how once you have an idea in your head, it take a lot of convince you that your wrong? Same idea here, they are so convinced of their idea that all new info ends up making them surer. Confirmation bias.
So Peter is trying to find a way home while the batfam tries to subtly help him without getting involved in time travel. Hijinks ensue.
Peter once mentions his love of photography and how he used to take pictures of heroes for a newspaper. Everyone looks at Tim and thinks, 'Gee I wonder where he picked up that hobby.'
At one point Peter pulls an assassin move, and Damian is like, 'I taught him that for sure.' (In reality Peter just trained with Natasha and Bucky before.)
When dealing with some issue Peter says something like, "I know a guy with some green angry problems and he taught me a lot about staying calm when mad." Everyone looks at Jason??? (He just picked up some meditation advice from Bruce Banner)
At some point he goes to the manor and everyone is like, 'Hah! More proof! He knows his way around the building!' He doesn't know his way around, his spider sense just lead him to where people are and kept him from getting lost.
He mentions Black Cat once, and everyone comes to the "totally logical" conclusion that Catwoman had a daughter, and that Peter and Felicia also have a weird almost dating thing going on.
Peter has been forced to go to some fancy events with Tony before so he knows how to act at rich people galas, which of course just adds fuel to the time travel theory.
Peter keeps accidentally referencing things that don't exist/didn't happen. Everyone just assumes these things didn't happen/don't exist yet.
okay, fun question for the marvel peeps bc i think you can tell a LOT about someone by these, so plop in the tags:
the first marvel movie you saw
a marvel movie you consider a comfort movie
your favorite marvel movie
and the marvel movie you feel was the most formative of your current personality/interests
'you burn what you'll miss the most so they'll listen' and hard cutting to percy burning blue candy to pray to sally is EVIL
summary: the avengers can’t seem to understand why you’re so obsessed with taking polaroids until they come across your scrapbook.
a/n: me? kind of sticking to the mcu timeline? what??? anyways, instead of tony being the one to do the snap, it’s his kid (😔) and this story is so sad but it’s kinda sentimental? anyways tell me what you think!
warnings: angst, some fluff (if you squint), and probably some typos.
add yourself to my taglist!
No one could understand your obsession with your pristine white polaroid camera.
You had at least ten unopened boxes of polaroid films and the Avengers had always said you didn’t need that many boxes if you weren’t going to use them.
They were backups, you said.
When the team went on press junkets, vacations, staycations, or minimal damage missions where Tony allowed you to come, you brought your trusty polaroid camera. Everyone would roll their eyes whenever you would jump out of the quinjet after forgetting to bring the camera and an extra box in case you ran out of film but you made everyone wait anyway.
You didn’t mind that everyone seemed to be annoyed whenever you took candid shots of them. Sometimes, they’d give you a feigned annoyed expression but chuckle at your curious nature and you wanted to document everything.

Which way is your heart leaning? I just buried the last person who truly knew me.
