Summary
The guy grins and wipes his hands on a towel before turning to the register. “What can I get you? You’ve never been here, right? I think I’d remember a skyscraper walking in.”
X huffs out a soft laugh despite himself. “Yes, first time. I smelled something good on my way to work.”
“Oh? Then you have good instincts,” the guy says, then leans slightly forward on his elbows like he’s about to tell him a secret. “Everything’s fresh. And I always put out the really good stuff in the early morning.”
X’s mouth opens. His brain says something stupid along the lines of ‘you're really good stuff so early in the morning’, but his mouth, blessedly, filters it into, “What do you recommend?”
The guy straightens. “Depends. What do you like?”
Cute guys with brown hair and cat pins on their aprons. X hesitates. His eyes are tracing the boy’s features, the flour on the forearms, the smile that’s a little too bright for this early in the morning and that creases beneath his eyes. He smells like vanilla and butter when X breathes in.
“Sweet,” he hears himself say instead. “Really sweet.”

Summary
Bruce opened his eyes.
A red cape rippled in the wind above him. A gold symbol—bold, and bright—stood out against the deep blue of a suit that barely seemed real.
And then the face. Calm, focused, and unabashedly kind.
Superman.
“You alright?” the hero asked, voice deep and sure, like the world wasn’t ending around them.
Bruce blinked, not sure what surprised him more—the fact that he was alive, or the man who’d made sure of it.
“I-I am now,” he muttered, mind still scrambling after the fall.
Superman’s smile was subtle, but real. “You know, I never get tired of hearing that.”
And just like that, Bruce Wayne—who’d accepted death—was held in the arms of something he didn’t believe in.
Hope.
