    Summary

    His feet hit hard and his knees buckle beneath him. It hurts when his hands skid on the decorative rug, the price he pays for catching himself to keep from flopping face-first into the ground. He's dumbstruck and just kneels there for several long moments staring at his hands, at the bloom of rug burn forming before his eyes.

    "I can't fly," he says dumbly.

    "Noted. Any pain?" Bruce asks.


    Clark's world falls apart, and Superman is to blame. When he's at his lowest, Bruce Wayne gives him a gift: a room that strips him of his powers. A room where he can learn what it means to be human.

    Summary

    "There's more kryptonite out there. When the Superman returns, there's going to be an all-star battle royale in the criminal underworld. Every megalomaniacal freak will want a piece of it so they can get a piece of you. And some of them will manage. They'll weaponize it and won't hesitate to use it against you, and when that happens I will not have you flailing around like an idiot."

    aka: Bruce teaches Clark how to fight.

    Summary

    Clark struggles with something his Ma might call jealousy after walking in on Bruce and Hal together after a mission. Instead of letting Clark's feelings ruin the Justice League's hard-won team cohesion, Bruce suggests an alternative arrangement: sleep together once, work the tension between them out of their systems, and then go back to normal afterward.

    The problem with that plan? It's not just casual, and neither of them can ever go back to normal once it's all said and done.

    Summary

    “The whole world remembers Thomas and Martha. Gotham loved them, or almost all of them I suppose. But even then,” Bruce said, his voice going hot with anger, “it wasn’t enough to save them. Or to bring them justice. No one will ever know who killed them. If they couldn’t help me, who’s going to help Dick?”

    “You will,” Clark blurted out, a pure instinct behind the knowledge.
