Summary
Bernard sighed, setting the phone down and folding his arms. “Okay. Just spit it out.”
Tim sat first, placing the plate on the table with care. “Please don’t freak out—” he began.
“TimisRedRobinandI’mSuperboyandwedidn’tknowhowtotellyouandwe’rereallysorryforlyingforsolongpleasedon’tbreakupwithus—” Kon blurted, voice cracking somewhere in the middle of the confession.
Tim slapped a hand over Kon’s mouth, glaring at him.
Kon blinked, muffled.
They both turned to look at Bernard.
Bernard raised an eyebrow. Slowly. Unimpressed.
The silence stretched.
Kon fidgeted. Tim shifted. Neither of them spoke.
Bernard exhaled like the weight of the world had just settled on his shoulders. “So you’re telling me... that both of you are vigilantes-slash-heroes... and you’ve only just now decided to tell me?”
Tim opened his mouth.
Bernard held up a finger. “Nope. No. No speaking. I’m not done.”
Tim’s mouth closed.

Summary
Bernard had never been a fan of altars.
Even before he found himself flat on his back, wrists tied uncomfortably above his head with ropes that scratched like twine made from cat tongues, he had a thing about them. Too dramatic. Too blood-sacrifice-y. Too “You’re not getting out of this one, Dowd.”
This one especially sucked.
The chaos monsters—twenty of them, if he’d counted right before the chanting started—looked like something spat out by a D-list demon god with bad taste and a love for ooze. Horns, claws, teeth in weird places. Too many eyeballs, and not enough common sense.
Bernard strained against the ropes as the lead freak—bigger, slimier, and apparently in charge—raised a jagged ceremonial knife above its head. The others screamed in some language Bernard had been tuning out for the past hour.
Then the knife came down.
Straight into his sternum.
He braced for pain. He’d tried not to scream when it happened, maybe leave this world with some shred of dignity. But instead—
Nothing.
Or, what could've happened if Tim hadn't made it in time to save Bernard.

Summary
It hurt.
It hurt in a way no fight ever had.
Not because of the bruises.
Because of who was on the other end of it.
“You’re done,” Bruce said.
His voice was low. Heavy. Final. Not shouted—but meant.
Dick looked up from the floor, blood at the corner of his mouth, eyes burning like wildfire.
“You don’t get to do this.”

Summary
Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck—
He was alone.
Everyone who might actually know how to help him was either fighting or across the damn planet.
Panic clawed at his throat, but he forced it down, breathing through it.
Random, scattered knowledge raced through his brain—some buried instinct drilled into him at CADMUS, of all places. Emergency field births. Risk assessments. Critical steps.
He clung to it like a lifeline.
Kon grabbed his phone and his spare comm, stuffing them into the hoodie pocket just in case he needed help later.

Summary
He stepped into the light. She inhaled sharply when she saw the wound. Her mask slipped for a second—real concern, maybe even regret.
“You’re dying,” she said. “Let me take you somewhere. Please.”
“No.” He shook his head. “No more Batcaves. No more labs. No more rooms with hidden doors.”
Her expression shifted. “Then you’re not leaving this place conscious."
And that was it. The line. The truth under all the concern and pity.
“You’re here to bring me in,” he said.
Steph didn’t deny it.
Or, Dick is on the run from the rest of his family.

Summary
Kon landed lightly outside his apartment, heart pounding so loud it almost drowned out the hum of the city behind him. The second he was inside, he locked the door, kicked off his shoes without thinking, and bee-lined to the bathroom.
The pregnancy test burned in the inside pocket of his jacket the whole way.
He yanked it out, ripped the wrapper open with shaking fingers, and—ignoring the thousand instincts screaming at him to wait—followed the directions mechanically, hands trembling so bad he almost dropped it.
Then he set it down on the counter.
And waited.
He paced.
Back and forth, back and forth across the bathroom tiles, arms folded tight across his chest. He could hear the second hand on his cheap wall clock ticking—too loud, like it was hammering into his skull.
He was Kryptonian. Or part Kryptonian. He wasn’t even sure if human-designed tests would work.
But Tim had helped them factor in enough hybrid biology when they worked on the meds—maybe it would.
When he finally forced himself to look down at the tiny plastic stick, the world tilted sideways.
Two sharp pink lines.
Positive.

Summary
Peter’s voice cut through the haze like a stone through glass. “Neal.”
Dick barely heard it. His attention had drifted somewhere distant—echoes of a half-forgotten argument, a crash, a boy with too much anger in his shoulders and another one who tried to smother it with logic. The buzz of the drug hadn’t fully worn off, but the clarity was starting to creep in around the edges, sharp and unwelcome.
Then Peter said it again, sharper. “Neal.”
Dick blinked, startled back into the room.
“Dick,” he corrected automatically, tired and too slow to catch the words before they hit the air.
The silence that followed was immediate.
Peter’s eyebrows furrowed. El paused in the doorway holding a pitcher of water. Sara looked up from the couch, confused.
“…Excuse me?” Peter asked carefully.
Or, the team and Sara find out some new things about Neal

Summary
Part of him was tempted to just stay there, sulking. But the cramps were getting worse, and the way he was curled into himself on the couch wasn’t cutting it. He needed comfort. Familiar smells. Warmth. Safety.
Which meant—
Tim and Bernard’s place.
Kon grumbled under his breath as he forced himself to move. He kicked off his sleep shorts and pulled on a pair of fuzzy pants instead—the ones that felt like clouds against his skin. Then he tugged a soft, worn shirt over his head and, as an afterthought, shrugged into one of his many flannels.
The movement made another sharp cramp stab through his side. He had to crouch low, curling one arm protectively around his stomach, breathing through it until it eased.
God, this sucked.
Or, Kon's on his period and goes to Tim and Bernard for comfort.

Summary
"Okay," Tim said, typing something as he talked. “So, Kryptonian-compatible birth control. We’ll need to start by understanding how your body works baseline before we can figure out how to modulate it.”
Kon sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “You’re gonna ask me weird personal stuff, aren’t you?”
“I’m a scientist,” Tim replied. “And your boyfriend. I can ask both weird and personal questions with no shame.”
Kon rolled his eyes, but smiled. “Alright, hit me.”

Summary
But as Kon stepped into the room with Bernard and Tim, something hit him.
A scent.
He froze mid-step.
It was subtle, but to him—to a Kryptonian—it was impossible to ignore. Warm, clean, familiar, but laced with something new.
He turned his head sharply and locked eyes with Clark, whose expression had already shifted from polite interest to horror in real time.
Clark had definitely caught it too.
Kon pointed at him immediately. “Why do I know that? I don’t want to know that. You’re fucking.”
Clark sputtered, red already climbing his neck. “I don’t want to know who you’re fucking either! And—wait, are you—are you bonding with people already?! You’re twenty-two, Kon!”
The room fell completely still.
Tim paused mid-step, brow furrowing. Bernard blinked. The entire Bat-family—Bruce included—turned toward the two Kryptonians now locked in what appeared to be a very personal, very confusing face-off.
“What the hell is happening?” Jason asked.
Or the dinner promised from the previous fic

Summary
“There he is,” Bernard said. “You flying in all dramatic just for us?”
“Maybe,” Kon said, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Aw, he’s shy tonight,” Bernard teased, standing up and padding over. “Don’t worry, we’ll ruin that soon enough.”
Tim snorted behind him, and Kon blinked because—okay—maybe he wasn’t the only one who was nervous. There was a charge in the air now. Something unspoken.
They were all aware of what tonight meant.
Bernard got close enough to rest a hand on Kon’s chest, just lightly. Like he was checking to see if Kon was real, or maybe just giving him the chance to pull back if he needed to. He didn’t.
“Seriously,” Bernard said, a little softer now. “We figured we’d talk about what everyone’s comfortable with. What’s on the table. What’s not. And then—” he smiled, eyes flicking between Kon and Tim, “—we get to the fun.”
Kon nodded. His mouth was dry, but not from fear. Just anticipation.
“Cool,” he said. “Let’s talk.”
Or 25k words of Kon freaking out over his biology being different and Bernard and Tim being stupidly chill.

Summary
Dick’s stomach dropped. His fingers went cold.
The fifth message was broken. Static, then something sharp.
“Dick. There’s something—someone—Joker. I think it’s Joker. I— I can’t—legs—fuck—”
Click.
His lungs froze. His mouth parted but no breath came.
He didn’t want to hit play on the sixth.
But his hand moved anyway.
A cough. Wet. A harsh, rattling breath.
Then the sickening clang of metal on something soft. Flesh? Bone?
Jason gasping.
“Tell B—I didn’t— Dick I—”
Click.
Or, What's going on with Dick during the events of "Where the Birds Used to Sing" starting from the end of chapter two.

Summary
“You’re the Batman,” Clark said, trying to keep his voice warm, even. “I’ve heard about you.”
Still no response. The wings shifted slightly, the sound low and dry, like wind moving through bone.
Even folded, they loomed. Easily twelve, maybe fourteen feet in total wingspan. The joints flexed with subtle micromovements, like the Bat was resisting the urge to spring forward or flee. And the texture… rough, almost scaly, with no sign of feathers. All tendon and membrane. Like something prehistoric.
Clark felt a shiver crawl down his spine.
It wasn’t fear. Not exactly.
“I’ve been looking for you,” he said, taking a cautious step forward, hands open at his sides. “Not you you, I mean. Others like me. Metas. People doing the right thing on their own terms.”
No answer.
“I thought you’d be taller,” he added, offering a small grin.
Nothing. Not even a twitch.
“Or… less grim.”
Or, Bruce's time over the years, gaining children, loosing them, joining the JL, all while the JL is under the impression that the man in the batsuit is some sort of cryptid.

Summary
He was lying still on the metal table, his arms rested delicately along his sides like folded paper. Like someone had tried to make it look peaceful—make him look presentable. But Dick knew better. He knew that silence. That stillness. He’d seen too many bodies, too many ends.
But not this one. Not his.
“No,” Dick breathed. The word escaped like it had been punched from his gut. His head tilted to the side, slow and trembling, like his neck couldn’t hold the weight of what he was seeing.
“No…”
It came again, softer. Smaller. Like maybe if he whispered it, the universe would agree.
But it didn’t.
“No. No…” His voice cracked on the second one. Shook. His chest hitched as he took a shaky step forward. “No. No—no—”
A scrapped chapter on what could’ve happened if Bruce had called and told Dick Jason died.

Summary
“Look at me,” Jason said. Not a command. Just quiet, grounded instruction.
Dick let him. He didn’t fight it.
Jason turned his head to one side, then the other. Checked his pupils. Tracked his eye movement. Touched under his jaw like he was feeling for a pulse. The contact should’ve felt weird—it was Jason—but it didn’t. It felt like something between a battlefield check and a brother’s worry.
Jason’s brow furrowed deeper. “Because there was a shit ton of leftover fear toxin in that building,” he said finally, voice controlled and low. “You didn’t smell it?”
“I mean…” Dick hesitated, trying to recall. “There was a chemical smell. I thought it was just oil or rust.” He blinked. “Oh. Is that why the hallucinations were worse this time?”
Or Dick doesn't realizes he's been effected by fear toxin and spills to everyone that he's been hallucinating.

Summary
Roy woke up like he usually did—mouth dry, head fuzzy, the faint taste of tequila or shame (or both) lingering on his tongue.
He stretched out like a cat, one leg kicking free from the sheet, and promptly collided with another person. A warm, nearly naked person. Roy’s eyes flew open.
Jason was in his bed.
Correction: Jason was asleep in his bed. Shirtless. Covered in gauze and dried blood. Wearing only boxers and looking like a Greek statue that had been through hell and decided to nap it off.
Roy blinked.
The next thirty seconds were pure chaos—internally.
Did I drink last night? He couldn’t remember drinking. He remembered watching some rerun and eating cold noodles. He remembered texting Jason a meme about stabbing billionaires. After that? Nothing.
Did I—?
Oh God.
Did I fuck him?
Or Jason decides to crash at Roy's and Roy wakes up the next morning thinking they hooked up. But it's fine he can roll with it, so he kisses Jason on the cheek. Jason promptly goes when did this happen? I'm 100% on board but when did this start? Cue confusion.

Summary
"This is my side of town, ya know?"
Dick squinted. “Jason?” His voice came out cautious, like he didn’t quite trust it. “You’re… older.”
He sighed. “Alright, I guess.”
Jason tilted his head. “That’s it? You don’t care that I’m here?”
Dick shrugged, still watching the alley below. “Well, I’m kind of on the job, so it isn’t the best time to break down.”
Jason blinked.“Can we like… delay this?” Dick added, his voice dry. “Show up in my kitchen while I’m eating cheese out of my opened fridge?”
Or Dick thinks he's hallucinating a very real Jason and invites the "hallucination" home. Jason thinks his brother is being freakishly calm, but hey, he's being accepted as he is so he doesn't care.

Summary
Blüdhaven is gone.
And so is the man Dick used to be. The Court of Owls found him in the wreckage and turned what was left into a weapon. Even after the Court fell, their claws stayed buried deep. Dick wears the right masks—Nightwing, dutiful son, loyal soldier—but underneath, he’s something else.
He swore he could keep the two lives separate. He almost believed it. Until he found Wally West—lost in Gotham, hurting, stubborn, good. Until Wally looked at him—not as Dick, not as Nightwing—but as something new. Something dangerous. And smiled anyway.
Wally doesn’t recognize him. He doesn’t know that the hands he trusts, the mouth he kisses, the shadows he falls into—all belong to someone who already betrayed him.
Dick tells himself he should let him go. That Wally deserves better. That loving him like this—lying to him like this—is a cruelty even the Court would envy.
But Dick is too far gone. Too broken to stop.
He can’t have Wally as the man he was.
But maybe, in the dark, behind a different mask, he can still hold onto him.
Even if it means becoming the thing he swore he’d never be.
