Summary
The mundanities of ruling the earth and eradicating crime with his dad take up a lot of time in Jon's day-to-day routine. Needless to say, he jumps at any opportunity for a little time to hang out with his best friend, Damian. They like to beat up bad guys between catch-up conversations; Jon sets 'em up, Damian knocks 'em down. It's all fun and games until Damian's the one who gets knocked down.
As Damian bleeds out, Jon sees two options to maintain their camaraderie: Damian wakes up and they hang out next week, or Damian doesn't, and Jon buries a kryptonite blade between his ribs to the hilt and they hang out in the afterlife.Or: Damian gets injured on a mission, and Jon doesn't believe in death doing them part. Their friendship won't be ended so easily.

Summary
The world changes, in a quiet, resolute way, when Damian is ten.
Nine days later, all the way across the globe, the world changes in a jarring, irreparable way when Jonathan is eight.
In a few years, the two of them will meet.
Jonathan Kent has been lonely all his life, isolated to the Fortress of Solitude: the epicenter of Superman's Regime. Everything changes when he meets Damian Al Ghul.
Damian Al Ghul finds himself in the odd predicament of being his father's bird, his mother's demon prince, and Jonathan's solace. These identities cannot co-exist easily.
Though the two of them grow impossibly close, at the end of the day, they must both return to their fathers' sides.
One polar-winter night, they each make a choice. This will change the trajectory of their relationship for the rest of their lives.------
Or: League of Assassins Damian and Justice Lord Jonathan cling to each other amidst their violent, oppressive world. How unfortunate that they are doomed to end up on opposing sides.
