    Summary

    So, it didn’t start out like this.

     

    Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-

     

    So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.

     

    It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

    “ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

    --

    A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

    Summary

    Dick is usually the one taking care of everyone else and he's bad at asking for help.

    So bad, in fact, that he never even actually asks-- but Jason shows up anyway.

    And then Dick returns the favor. And then they both do for Tim. And it's just going to keep going from there.

    It's probably Alfred's fault. When your butler mom calls and says, "Go check on your brother," you don't argue. You just do it.

    Summary

    There's a tradition among the family: when in danger, you grab the smallest Robin and hang on tight. But like all traditions, this one had to start somewhere, right?

    Alternately: three times Dick bodily attacks his father (with love)

    Summary

    Jason laughed loudly, tossing his head back. “Can you fuckin’ believe that? Holy shit. Didn’t even have—“

    His voice disappeared as he actually caught sight of Bruce.

    Bruce stood directly in the harsh light of the moon. His face gaunt, the blood drained and leaving him as pale as a cadaver. His eyes wide, trained on the same spot, and full of an emotion that Jason had never ever imagined to see on him.

    The pieces click fast. The alley, the gun, the haunted tone of B’s voice last time he’d said his name.

    He… had no idea how to handle this.

     

    (or: a look into several moments of panic throughout jason's life.)

    Summary

    Even with a new rogue going around de-aging their opponents, the Batfamily never expected themselves to be in the situation of dealing with a de-aged Bruce Wayne. Specifically, a de-aged Bruce Wayne to the age of eighteen, a time when it turns out he has many more stories to tell than they had thought.

    Of course it couldn't be that easy, though. No, the new rogue is targeting other rogues, too, and it turns out that the only person capable of fully getting into their mindset and actually knowledgeable about the events of their lives at the time is the Batfamily's de-aged father.

    Great.

    At least now they'll have a chance to figure out what makes him tick, though.

    (Can be read without knowledge of the Gotham TV show OR without knowledge of the extended Batman universe.)

    Summary

    Deadpool was following him, which was annoying, because he never seemed to have any problems getting over a fight, even when it was about a fundamental belief system. It was also annoying because Peter was hurting and sleepy and he had school tomorrow and he somehow had to figure out an excuse to explain his sorry state to his Aunt before morning. And he just watched Deadpool shoot people. So.
    OR:
    Instead of Tony being Peter's responsible-adult-figure, it ends up being Deadpool, who really means well but is a little late to the hey-this-is-a-teenager-who-needs-help party. Weird friendship ensues.

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    Matt realizes nobody is stepping up while Spiderman is breaking himself needlessly over city streets and webbed up criminals. Someone should teach the kid how to fight. He doesn't believe he can be that person; doesn't believe he can step over the miles of mistakes and bloody regrets he's built the Devil out of.

    Somebody has to. Just... not him. Right?

    Or, Matt sees a teenager fighting and experiences a midlife crisis. Foggy calls him a mother hen. Karen has a criminal empire to defeat. Peter has no clue just how much panic he's causing but is hoping that maybe - possibly - he can get Daredevil to be his teacher in the ways of vigilante justice.

    (I'm trying to beat writing block, let's see if this works.)

    Bruce grunts, standing up. “Jenkins said the same. What about what you weren’t told?”

    And without dissembling, Jason says, “I think they fucked that kid up, B.”

    [Jack and Janet die. As things get weirder and weirder, it feels like Tim might be at the center of the unfolding conspiracy.]

    Summary

    After the Lazarus Pits and a year of training with the League, Talia sends Jason to Gotham for revenge. Except Jason isn’t as deep as she thinks. The thing is, he expected to see Bruce - Batman - and be livid. He let him die, replaced him. He should be mad.

    He isn’t.

    In the end, it’s hard to think of yourself as being replaced when you died. So yeah, he’s angry, but he’s not angry enough for revenge. Not like Talia wants him to be.

    So he focuses on Red Hood and cleaning up Crime Alley, and scraps any ideas of revenge he had left. They’re unnecessary. Counterproductive, in fact, because now that he’s actually seen Bruce, all he really wants is to go home. Maybe have a conversation or two about how bad Bruce and Dick messed up, but at home.

    Instead, he gets caught up in world altering magic from some criminal in over his head, and Jason finds himself tumbling through universes into a New York filled with heroes that he’s never even heard of and a lack of Gotham and Metropolis that can only mean one thing. This isn’t the world he knows.

    All he wants is to get home, to make amends, to try again. Too bad none of them know he’s gone. Not that anyone would think to look for a dead boy.

    Summary

    Ectoplasm was a necessity for every ghost, as Danny had come to find out. He had just sat down for lunch, lifting the ectoplasm infused sandwich to his mouth for a bite.

    That's when he noticed it.

    Or rather, that's when he -felt- it.

    Someone stepped into the cafe, and their presence...

    Ancients, they were starving.

    ----
    Or: Ghost King Danny stumbles on a man with a starving proto-core of sorts. With halfa's like him being so few and far between, it was his solemn duty to help this poor guy out, right?

    Jason has no idea what's going on, but if this stranger can keep the pit away like he promises, then Jason's willing to do just about anything. Even if that 'anything' is dinner every other night.

    Summary

    Peter was alone, mid-way through an existential crisis after the Erasure™ and was dreading the upcoming month of May.

    Jason was sick of people telling him how he felt. ‘You don’t need us anymore,’ Artemis had told him, as if saying it would make it true. As if Jason needed someone to justify keeping them around. But three weeks back in Gotham and all Jason felt was fucking bored and lonely.

    It was a relief, then, when some random New Yorker was thrown into his living room through a portal straight out of some LSD daydream.

    Finally, something interesting to deal with.

    Cue some wild family misunderstandings, criminal conspiracies and cults.

    Because there’s always a goddamn cult.

    Summary

    When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.

    Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

    Summary

    When Clark's mother sat him down one late winter's evening to explain just how different he really was, he realised that his soulmate most likely lay in the stardust haloed around what was once his planet. In the end, that was just another thing that told him he was alone.

    When he met Lois, he began to believe that maybe he wouldn't be alone, because she was perfect. She was everything he could ever want.

    Then Bruce Wayne said his words.

    Summary

    “Oh,” the kid says, head turning to look back at the bathroom. “It’s fine. I’ve got it figured out.”

    Dick’s face pulls to a pinched expression, shaking his head slowly. “As much as I’d love to believe you, I can’t. That stuff can’t just be emptied down the drain.”

    The kid’s own face scrunches this time. “Why not?”

    Jason has a feeling this kid doesn’t remember quite as much of his experience in the pit as Jason did himself. With a sudden jolt, Jason realizes this kid might not know he’s dead.

    Great.

    Monkey King’s guilt breaks him down little by little. He can’t even trust himself anymore.

    Or
