    Summary

    J’onn floated into the room with a datapad in hand. “The system already recognizes him as an active member.”

    “You already added him?” Hal asked Bruce incredulously. “We just had this discussion.”

    Bruce looked down at the datapad in hand. “Is that a problem? I knew you’d be adding him.”

    Barry let out a disbelieving laugh. “So you argued against it…while already putting him in the system?”

    “I argued against it,” Bruce corrected, “but the outcome was inevitable.” He stood and turned toward the console. “Orientation begins in five minutes,” he said, already moving—like the conversation had ended whether they agreed or not.

    Barry looked like he might actually short-circuit. “Five minutes?” he repeated, voice pitching up. “We just found out he’s already—he’s in the system, Batman!”

     

    Batman has always believed distance keeps people safe. Then Nightwing starts working alongside him again, and suddenly the careful line between them begins unraveling in front of the entire Justice League.

    What starts as quiet suspicion slowly becomes impossible to ignore: Batman and Nightwing aren’t just partners. Bruce just isn’t ready for everyone else to realize it yet.

    Summary

    Written for the Norsekink prompt: "SHIELD has Loki in custody, with the gag on to keep him from spellcasting, but they don't really know what to DO with him. They can't give him food or water or attempt to interrogate him with the gag on, and they don't dare take it off. Their solution? Call in a telepath! But Charles Xavier may find more things in Loki's head than SHIELD bargained for..."

    Summary

    The distance between them disappears in a single step, his hand coming up without hesitation. “Hey— it’s okay, I’ve got—”

    “You don’t have to do that!” Tim’s voice cuts through him.

    Dick freezes. For a second, he doesn’t move. Doesn’t pull back, doesn’t press forward, he just stops, caught in the moment as the words shake him harder than they should.

    You don’t have to do that.

    Not don’t touch me.

    Not that hurts.

    Not even stop.

    Something else.

    Dick’s brain scrambles to catch up, then it clicks, the interpretation sliding into place with a quiet, awful clarity.

    Oh.

    It’s not that he can’t.

    It’s that he doesn’t want—

    Dick pulls his hand back like he’s been burned.

    •···•···•

    Things haven’t been right between Tim and Dick for a while, and Dick is painfully aware of the fact that Tim doesn’t want Dick anywhere near him, so when he finds Tim hit with cuddle pollen, he freezes, because despite how desperately Dick wants to comfort his little brother, he won’t cross his boundaries.
    It only gets more complicated when next time, Dick gets hit with pollen, and Tim’s the one to find him.

    Summary

    The thought occurred to Hal suddenly and with such force that he spat his coffee out as he pointed aggressively across the Justice League meeting table at Nightwing. “You! You know who Batman is!”

    Nightwing, who had been idly tinkering with what looked like a new version of his escrima sticks, raised an eyebrow at Hal. “I should hope I know who Batman is. He is one of the founding members of the League. And my father. Are you feeling okay, Hal?”

    ...

    Or, a lot of people asked for an identity reveal sequel to my Batfam meets the Justice League fic, so here it is. Plenty of sheneanigans and a touch of birdflash thrown in for more sheneanigans and my own amusment (and Barry's anguish).

    Summary

    Don’t—

    His breath is faster now, the air too thick in his lungs, on his tongue.

    Jason closes the distance—and Dick’s mind flags it.
    Threat. Immediate. Close.

    Dick can’t comprehend the world around him as the rage surges harder, swallowing his pleas whole.

    There’s no room for anything else. No space for recognition, for reason, for the instinct that should override everything else.

    Just… a target—and the ability to kill.

    --

    or: Dick gets dosed with an unknown toxin. He doesn’t recognize Jason, but Jason recognizes Dick.
