Summary
Sometimes, Neal Caffrey displayed the strangest behaviors. The White Collar unit tries to make sense of their resident CI's quirks while Neal - alias Dick Grayson, alias Nightwing - has the time of his life messing with their heads.
What would they say if they knew everyone in Gotham shared his odd habits?

Summary
“What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”
And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.
“I want to go to college.”
And Talia had made that happen for him.
(AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

“You might have been a good thief, but now you and your little agent friends are just loose ends.”
Neal snorted. Actually snorted. Was he incapable of being serious? “I think you’ll find I’m harder to kill than you think I am.”
“Oh yeah?” Roberts sneered. “I guess we’ll see about that.”
“I guess we will—”
Bang.

Summary
When Gotham (the sentient personification, not the town hall bureaucrats that issue parking fines) found out that her citizens were being scammed out of her city by mortgage fraud, of all things, she decided to stop them. Her stones and foundations were being stolen from the people who loved her, by Outsider developers from New York City, and she would have her revenge.
Luckily, one of her favourite birds was already impersonating a criminal embedded in the FBI.
No one would notice if she slipped into his place.

Summary
The most blatant thing about Dick is that he’s a Gothamite.
It’s so obvious when you know what to look for and with Bludhaven being the sister city to Gotham, they know. Amy’s sure that within his very first day here a majority of the cops in the building already clocked him as a Gothamite.
It’s that damn shadow of his.

Summary
Red Hood is an up and coming crime lord dead (hah!) set on cleaning the Alley up. This is the story of how his original four got their jobs and why.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“You all know why you’re here?”
“I’m the best sniper this side of Jersey,” Tailgate offered. “Gotta military background, ‘d make a good enforcer and recon officer.”
“Short of Catwoman herself, I’m one of the best thieves in the city. Pretty good at talking with people,” Eight said, shrugging. “Got a little bit of tech background.”
Benny thought that was a little bit of an understatement.
“I’ve been keeping my nose clean since getting released from prison, that’s all I can really think of. I don’t got many skills like these two, plus whatever the kid can do,” Benny conceded after thinking about it for a moment. “And I’m not employed by any other gang or Rogue.”
“I take care of the kids,” the kid said. “They trust me. Plus, who would dare to think that a crime lord would employ a dumb kid?”
“Correct,” Hood said. “I need good guys on my crew. Can’t have guys who sample the wares or won’t follow my rules. Guys who can get to the people I can’t, the people with all the information.”
