    Summary

    The story behind these lines from There’s a Bird in the Alleyway

    “[T]he working girls who saved your life said you’ve done some stuff to help them out. Your gentlemanly ways are impressing them.”

    “I don’t know if punching a creep in the face counts as being gentlemanly.”

    Or, Nightwing accidentally earns the trust of Bludhaven's working girls by being “polite and smiley.”

    Summary

    Jan is, as far as he knows, the only one aware of this particular oddity of Kaer Morhen. There are, of course, quite a few oddities in this keep, not the least of which are the Witcher inhabitants themselves, but this particular oddity goes well beyond anything Jan has ever encountered. Were he a less practical man, it might have scared him away. But Jan has sworn his service to the White Wolf, and Jan does not break his word.

    Besides, all things considered, ‘magical building that can rearrange and grow itself seemingly at will’ is certainly odd, but also quite useful for a man in Jan’s position.

    Summary

    Mild-mannered junior reporter (and relatively recent superhero) Clark Kent gets his first big job all to himself. When the trail leads him to Gotham and the turf of his ally, and idol, Batman, Clark gets injured in the crossfire, unable to reveal his true identity. He's forced to recuperate at the mansion of Batman's apparent ally, infamous playboy Brucie Wayne. Bruce's kids seem determined to keep Clark in close proximity, thwarting his attempts to either return to his super persona or avoid Wayne's ridiculous flirting. But there's more to the case, and Wayne, than meets the eye.

    Batman doesn't rescue pretty reporters, that's Superman's schtick, but when a firefight forces Clark Kent of the Daily Planet to recuperate at Wayne Manor, Bruce will just have to manage. Juggling fatherhood and an overbearing public persona is bad enough, but fighting the investigative power of a journalist in his own home could bring down not only his secret identity, but his sons'. He's determined not to give in to the draw of big blue eyes, or, more embarrassingly, to his boys' meddling. And worst of all, no one can find Superman.
