    Summary

    After midnight, he climbs up onto the roof of the temple, into a hidden corner, and lies on his back, staring up at the sky.

    Confess. Repent. Fix it.

    He can’t remember the words he’d say to the priest in Brooklyn. He can’t remember the words his mother would say, behind closed doors, muffled.

    “I killed a lot of people,” he says, voice quiet, eyes locked on a single star visible through the glow of the city. “I’m trying to remember them all. I have a list. I don’t want to forget again.”

    He takes a deep breath. Shifts, brings his right arm up to pillow his head. Flexes the metal fingers of his left hand where it rests against the rooftop. “I didn’t want to do it. And if I have any say in the matter, I won’t ever do it again.”

    He closes his eyes, then, and whispers, so quiet only God could hear him, “I’m sorry.”

    Summary

    prompt from tumblr:

    fic idea where for some reason Bruce (as Batman) has to pick up Alfred and Tim from a public event gone wrong in the Batmobile (Tim was poisoned) and it’s not an emergency but speed is of essence and this is, coincidentally, the first time Alfred has been in the Batmobile when it’s actually moving and he gets to see firsthand how absolutely insane Bruce drives without the need to obey speed limits. and Tim’s puking and generally displeased so Alfred spends the whole ride chiding Bruce to slow down, for god’s sake, only for Tim to chime in from the backseat, between heaves, that this is slow for him, Alfred—

    Summary

    “Pruuu,” Tim whined, “he likes my brain. He ‘admires my intelligence and ruthlessness under pressure’. He doesn’t like like me.”

    “I sure bet he admires something,” Jason leered, then dodged when Tim went for another nerve strike.

    Summary

    It could remember when life expanded. When the world around it became loud. The sensation ached in its bones, rattling its head.

    The sound was vague, though, most likely because of its tank.

    It opened its eyes to see the techs assigned to it looking up at it. They seemed...

    Panicked.

    Or

    Clark finds a project early.
