    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

    “I can vouch for him,” Cyborg said, sitting up straighter. “We’ve worked together before. I can’t promise he’d want the job though. He works out of Bludhaven, last I checked.”

    Dinah perked up from where she was slumped against the table next to Oliver. “That’s next to Gotham. Batman, what do you know?”

    All eyes immediately turned to where Batman sat with his arms crossed, looking impassive as always. There was a long moment of silence and the corners of Batman’s mouth turned ever so slightly downward. Finally, in a flat tone of voice that gave no more away than his face ever did, he said, “He’s… well trained. Fast. Could be useful.”

    ...

    Also known as, the League eventually figured out that Nightwing is Batman's son, but it takes a while.

    Summary

    Tim wakes up in a world in which Batman doesn't exist. And by consequence, the Robins never became heroes.

    Dick is a Talon, Jason is Red Hood (a villain), and Damian is a League of Assassins assassin. And Tim apparently is a hero called Draken, who, frankly, sucks at being a hero.

    And in this weird alternate reality, something big is brewing and Batman isn't here to keep the Justice League from tearing itself apart.

    Tim is really really done with everything. Dick, Jason, and Damian aren't helping.

    Tim really really hates magic as well.

    Summary

    They both hit the wall, and Peter winces, hearing Frank’s head take the brunt of the hit, and he shakes his own head and gets a better grip on him, adjusting him over his shoulder.

    A gun falls off of him and clatters to the ground. Peter stands there, in a horse stance, and he stares at it like it’s going to shoot him all on its own.

    “I’m just gonna leave that there,” Peter says, patting Frank’s back. “You can come back and get it later.”

    Each step is like molasses. Like he’s in quicksand, except he’s not sinking. He’s moving like a robot, anticipating the swinging, because he’s barely got a hold of Frank now, and if he drops him, that’s it. He can’t be the guy that kills the Punisher. It wouldn’t even make sense.

    Summary


    Daredevil sniffs the cookie, takes a small bite, and then spits. He starts coughing.
    “What’s in that— poison?” he chokes out.
    “Cayenne,” Peter says, abashed.

    Peter attempts to bake his way into the heart of New York’s vigilante population. He achieves varying degrees of success, depending on who you ask.

    Summary

    The Justice League has captured the Red Hood, a highly dangerous criminal. Robin crashes their meeting before they can make a decision on what to do with him. Jason isn't having the best day, good thing his family has his back.

    “There will be no trial.” Damian sneers, sending a glare his way and- shit. Domino mask or not, Jason can still read his little brother’s face like an open book. Damian is scared. This is not going to end well.

    Summary

    “Hey, kid,” Deadpool greets cheerfully after a few seconds of Peter ignoring him. He says kid as if it’s a nickname, and hey like they’ve known each other for years, and not at all like they met once a week ago.
    Peter says nothing. He looks at the milk he’s holding, factoring the prices into his budget.
    “So, I never really got your name,” Deadpool hedges. He’s leaning against the freezers to Peter’s right, and everyone gives him a wide berth as they go by.
    Peter fights the urge to roll his eyes, but Wade seems to catch it. A smile breaks under the mask, going by the creases. He leans forward conspiratorially.
    “Nice to see you’re doing so well,” he says, “except I don’t think your nose was broken last time.”

    //

    Wade meets Peter after a rough patrol and comes to some unpleasant conclusions.

    Summary

    "Stay?"

    Peter finally looked down to see Harley Fucking Keener, Iron Lad, the boy who had caused his shoulder to be throbbing in pain all night, looking away with a slight tint to his cheeks. Peter opened and closed his mouth, no sound coming out.

    And he sat back down.

     

    OR: Peter had been living on the streets, dealing with your average homeless vigilante stuff. Things got a bit more complicated when the Avengers started to chase him down.

    Summary

    When he finally gets the door open, there's a man standing in the middle of his room. Red Hood. He looks incongruous in Peter’s space, with his sturdy combat boots brushing against a dirty t-shirt that got left on the floor last night.

    “Hey, that was pretty fast,” he says brightly. “I’d love to see how fast you can go when you aren’t taking detours to lose a tail first.”

    OR

    That one where Peter ends up in Gotham after the events of NWH and is determined to stay on his own so that nobody can get hurt, but the Bats refuse to get the memo.

    Summary

    “You okay?” He hears a voice ask, Dick going to lift his head up only to gasp in pain.

    “Ooh, not okay, alright,” the voice says, rushing up to him and immediately pressing a hand to his chest. Dick looks up to him and blinks a few times, confusion flooding him as he tries to make sense of who is kneeling above him.

    “Jason?” He asks, watching as they tilt their head to the side.

    “Is that your name?” The voice asks. “Hi Jason, I’m Spider-Man.”

     

    Or, Dick finds himself in a place where no one knows who he is.

    Peter Parker understands.

    Summary

    The Riddler halts. Pauses.

    “What the fuck, dude?” He finally exclaims, breaking all melodramatic pretenses and slamming his hands down on the table, “Either listen to the goddamn riddle or let me kill you so we can get this exchange over with!”

    Peter nods, “Sorry, sorry, my bad on that one. I finally remembered the word I was thinking of. Here, let’s make a deal this time - cross my heart I’ll keep it - so if I can’t solve your riddle you get to…” Peter gestures, leaving it open ended, and the Riddler seems to perk up.

    “Kill you in a blaze of glory,” he finishes, primly, and the melodrama returns as he crosses his legs and re-steeples his hands, “And if you win? I must be fair, after all.”

    “Uhh… would you mind telling me where I am?”

    OR

    Peter's greatest enemy is time management and also maybe the hoard of superheroes that are crawling all over Gotham.

    “Oh, don’t start with this alternate universe stuff again. It’s time travel—”

    “—I’m sorry I’m ’pedantically splitting hairs about the very nature of our existence in this universe,’ Martin, but if I—”

    Sam blinks, hard, as something trips that sense of deja vu again. The way he said that, even more stuffy and academic than before, sounds incredibly familiar.

    “Wait a second,” Alice says abruptly, her voice pitching up. The strangers pause their bickering, turning to frown at her as a huge grin spreads across her face. “Are you Chester?”

    Martin cuts the tether; two strangers appear out of nowhere in the OIAR break room.

    “C’mon sweetheart, you gotta give me something. I’m dyin’ to know what to put in the obituary of the guy who went headfirst off a church in Hell’s Kitchen," Wade tries yet again.

    The man remains silent for another beat before speaking up in a voice that's scratchy from disuse. “Lawyer,” he says. “I was a lawyer.”

    “But not anymore?” Wade asks. “You get fired? Disbarred? Why's lawyer in the past tense, gorgeous?”

    “I died,” comes the quiet response, and Wade is suddenly very aware he's in the presence of someone potentially crazier than himself for once.

    While Tony's assistance with all of Peter's technological needs has been invaluable, he hasn't managed to be much of a mentor when it comes to the actual hero aspect of being a powered person. After a chance encounter, Peter finds himself being mentored by none other than Daredevil with no shortage of guest-taught lessons from the older vigilante's friends and acquaintances. This exposure to the grittier side of the city and vigilantism as a whole leads Peter to discover a conspiratorial plot to destroy New York City.
