Summary
Mecha Man is dead.
Well, not permanently. That would require Robert to actually stay dead, and so far he hasn't found a method that will really stick. His suit is broken beyond his monetary capabilities to repair, however, so his hero career is as close to dead as it's ever been. He's just about to consider switching tactics, trying to become a hero without the suit when he's given a proposition. Become a dispatcher for SDN, and they'll give him everything he needs to fix his suit. To become Mecha Man again.
Of course he accepts. However, he doesn't realize that the job not only expects him to turn the most hardheaded, stubborn, pieces of shit villains into heroes, but also throws him directly into the path of the one family friend he's been avoiding for 15 years. With a budding crush on the local beefy tech wizard and corporate threatening to dismantle his team before they can really get started, Robert's faced with what appears to be a Sisyphean task. However, he knows he can survive long enough to become Mecha Man again.
After all, it's so much easier to survive when nothing can kill you in the first place.

Summary
It's ironic.
That's the only thing Chase can think when he walks up to the hospital, knowing just who is lying on a hospital bed. Ironic how it takes Robert nearly dying for him to finally slow down for Chase to catch up. He was supposed to be speed itself, the Track Star who never slows down. Yet for 15 years, Chase hasn't been able to catch the one person who needs him teh most.
Only once he's lost his ability to run can Chase finally catch Robert Robertson. With the kid finally forced to stop, Chase vows that he won't let Robert slip away from him anymore. This time, he's going to be here when the kid needs it.
Even if Robert would do anything he could to keep Chase away.
AKA
5 times Chase Visited Robert in the Hospital, and the 1 time Robert wasn't there

Summary
When the other Brave Brigade members learn that Elliot killed Robbie, they assume it's because of the vote. Elliot was never shy about his desire to become an official member, and the whole team knew there was a certain... disdain that Robbie seemed to hold for Elliot. The reasoning feels clean. Simple. A cut and dry case of resentment gone too far.
However, rarely is reality so black and white. Robbie and Elliot entangled themselves in more ways than one, and their last conversation brings all those complicated feelings to a head.

Summary
Damian's sick of it.
Sick. Of. It.
He'd been Robin for 5 years, an assassin for 7, and he knew his own capabilities. One would think he'd already be well on his way to establishing his own identity outside of Batman's long shadow. Perhaps he'd join a team of rambunctious teen heroes. Maybe he would create a new hero persona, only to occasionally moonlight as Robin on the side. But surely, surely Damian would have completed at least *one* solo mission, right?
Of course not. Because his father deemed him too immature. Not ready for the responsibility of a singular solo mission.
Well, Damian decides if his father will not give him a solo mission, he'll just have to take it. This one decision finds him trapped in a laboratory, forced to rely on a monster for any chance to escape. Damian learns about the dark secrets the Ghost Investigation Ward has been hiding, as he comes to learn that this monster may not be what he originally believed.

Summary
Luffy has a strange definition of a "first mate".
Apparently, the rubber man thinks that to choose a first mate is to choose someone as your spouse. The revelation throws Zoro off, but ultimately he goes along with it. After all, he'd already dedicated himself to this new crew and the boy who declared himself pirate king. Might as well go the full mile and become his husband too. So he becomes Zoro, the First Mate and Luffy's husband. It feels so obvious.
Unfortunately, both Captain and First Mate neglect to inform the rest of their merry crew exactly what being "first mate" means. When the couple finally reunites after 2 long years apart, they shock the rest of their crew members with their... enthusiastic greeting.

Summary
Duke Thomas. 16 years old. Parents currently in group facility for jokerization victims and deemed unfit to care for Duke. Aggressive with perceived authority figures. History of fights at schools and home. Prone to elopement.
Duke's read his file before--has heard Tammy complain about his problematic behaviors nearly every meeting. As he burned his way through every foster home in the city, Duke knew he'd run out of people willing to let him stay. When Tammy presented the ultimatum, Bruce Wayne or Juvie, it wasn't even a choice.
Now, 8 months in and having already passed his 2 month record of longest stay at a foster home, Duke finds himself wondering if maybe he could plant roots with the Waynes. They seem to accept him so easily, already calling him their brother and wanting to include him in family events. He may not be theirs, but maybe that would be okay.
Of course, Duke should have known better. When the Wayne children start asking Bruce when he's going to pull the trigger to adopt Duke already, he realizes that they only wanted him if he was going to be theirs. Feeling trapped and unwelcome, Duke decides fuck it.
He runs.

Summary
Danny and Damian often dreamed of reuniting with their twin.
Sure, both knew it was impossible, but on the bad days it offered a bit of comfort to imagine what a reunion might look like. Surely, it'd be full of sobbing and hugging and questions about how and why and when. They'd declare how much they missed the other, how they loved each other and didn't regret choosing them over the League. They could neve regret choosing each other over the League. It was a kind dream, but it was just that. A Dream.
Never, in all their wildest imaginings, did they think they would meet again in a coffee shop of all places.

Summary
Duke wasn't close to his extended family.
Not for a lack of desire, no, but more so because of distance. It was hard to visit his cousins' house when they lived halfway across the country. With his parents institutionalized, Duke assumed that he'd lose contact with most of his extended family. After all, his mom had been in charge of keeping up with the cousins. He doubted they even knew his phone number.
Imagine his surprise when he gets a call from his cousin, one Tucker Foley, asking for help.

Foolish Misinterpretation by TheWritingOwl

Summary
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. In those days we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
When Danny first watched Fullmetal Alchemist, he'd laughed at the idea of equivalent exchange. Losing his leg hadn't gotten him anything. It only took from him--his ability to walk, his place in the league, his brother. Sure, his new life in Amity was fine, but it didn't take away the great losses he'd experienced. None of it felt equal.
Years later, Danny finds himself in Gotham, prey to the people his mother had thrown him to. He's prepared to lose his life, but then Damian appears, and suddenly Danny understand the desperation Edward felt when he'd sacrificed his arm so readily for Alphonse.
I don't think of equivalent exchange as a law of the world anymore. I think of it as a promise, between my brother and me, a promise that someday we'll see each other again.

Summary
Duke has been busy lately. Busy might actually be an understatement but unfortunately he's too busy to think of a better one. His parents are missing, teenagers have been disappearing across Gotham, someone out there really likes owls and Duke is pretty sure that is not a good thing, and apparently zombie assassins are a thing. Now he's the unofficial leader of a gang of teen vigilantes and he's only just finished his Freshman year of high school. His life cannot possibly get any worse. Unless-
"Danny is missing."
OR: Duke would like a goddamn break.

Summary
Tucker had planned the day for months. He made sure his hair would be fresh, his best clothes would be ironed, and Sam would have a built in excuse so she couldn't third wheel. After school on April 28th, Tucker would take Danny to the Bell Witch Park Well and confess that he's been in love with him since the second grade. His plan was perfect.
But then he chickened out. Which was fine. He could always try another day--except. Except he dies.
Tucker wakes up on April 28th. Actually he keeps waking up on April 28th, ready to confess to Danny only to chicken out. Which, okay, maybe having infinite tries at confessing to his crush wasn't that bad!
Now if Tucker could just stop dying...

Summary
There's a lot that Duke still has to learn about his new family.
Being the newest of the Wayne Brood, Duke knows that his information on his new siblings are limited. However, he also knows that snooping in his new little brother's bedroom is a recipe for disaster. When his new older siblings decide to finally see just what Damian is hiding in his room, Duke tells himself that he's just going to watch. When they discover a jar with bits of human remains in the corner of Damian's room, Duke regrets ever letting the others snoop in the first place.
Still, perhaps Duke can salvage this.
