    Summary

    Peter’s gotten used to Gotham by now. The thousand little sounds that build up to the cacophony of a city in controlled chaos. But it isn’t home, and it never will be, and the more time passes, the more that thought makes him twitch. He’s frustrated by it, annoyed that he feels like he’s forcing his way through a world that doesn’t belong to him. Worse, the Soul Stone is starting to become more and more of an issue. As if it senses something coming.

    Tony's last words had been 'the threat always comes back.' Thanos won't be thwarted forever, only delayed. Eventually, he's going to hunt down the stray Soul Stone that Peter holds.

    The Bats have a few opinions on that. The Avengers that have fallen into this other world have a few of their own. And there's the problem of Dr. Strange's letter...

    Summary

    Hal and Barry are worried about Batman's new partner. Being around the Batman all the time can't be good for a kid, right?

    Robin insists otherwise, and for $15.36 of betting money, is happy to demonstrate.

    Summary

    “Just because the Bat has good intentions doesn’t mean he can operate without supervision or consequence,” Jim says slowly, unsure of how else to explain to an elementary schooler that beating up criminals in a furry costume shouldn’t be encouraged.

    Barbara leans into his side. “What if you supervised him?”

    “What?” Jim blinks. “Babs, I don’t even know who the guy is,” he points out.

    Her eyes widen and a delighted gasp leaves her lips. “Oh! We should figure it out! Together!"

    ~_~

    Featuring unmasking vigilantes as a father-daughter bonding activity, awkward small talk between two dads (both at crime scenes and PTA meetings), and Babs and Dick’s natural progression from classmates to besties in the name of chaos.

    ~_~

    This is a direct sequel to I’m a Good Pretender but can be read as a stand alone.

    Summary

    “You’re doing it again,” Bruce says, tone accusatory. “You’re faking.”

    “It’s not faking,” Dick snaps, a little more aggressive than he means to be. But he doesn’t like that word, doesn’t like the connotations.

    (Especially when he knows Bruce is lying about something, too.)

    “Then what is it?”

    “It’s called being charming and it’s nice.”

    -_-

    Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete.

    Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.
