    Summary

    What was the fun in collecting trauma like pokemon cards if you couldn’t play them?

    Peter trades in his gallery of trauma for the Bats’ rogue gallery as he adjusts to living in Gotham, losing his entire universe, and living with the ghosts of the Avengers. It’s not a fair trade—Peter is definitely being scammed for the damned shiny Jigglypuff—but at least he is getting out of this alive. Mostly.

    Summary

    The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.

    There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.

    “Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

    Summary

    The main point of the entirety of this story and the reason that Tim is slowly dying in a pharmacy is that Tim lost his utility belt in the water. While a practical idea at the time, what with the extended period of attempting to keep his head above water, it ultimately resulted in Tim losing his extra strength antibiotics that Leslie had specially tailored to Tim. Therefore, Tim went a day without a dose, a day in which he was dumped into the ocean in the middle of January.

    His immune system is thoroughly displeased with him at the moment.

    OR: Tim Drake’s… decent into villainy? maybe?? kind of???

    Summary

    She presses her crayon to the page one last time, adding the final finishing touch. The darkness of the cabinet casts shadows on the drawing, bringing it to life. She stares down at two bright eyes hiding in a swirl of fabric and blackness. The newspaper she’s referencing only has one blurry photo of the phenomenon, but there’s no mistaking the drawing for anything else.

    Steph leans back, laying her head against the back of the cabinet to dream of the Batman finally coming to carry her away.

     

    Or: Stephanie Brown is going to be a hero. No matter what it takes to get there.

    Summary

    Jack Drake used Drake Industries to hide his white-collar crimes. Janet Drake used her socialite status to hide her participation in a group of assassins.

    Really, they should have expected Tim Drake to reject the idea of being a normal child.

    AKA

    The Drakes, while criminals, do try really hard to be good parents and raise a normal child. Tim, who tries to be a normal kid, also really wants to be just like his parents.

    Summary

    Nearly a year into his stay in Gotham and Peter has finally found a healthier coping mechanism: Star Wars references.

    Bonus: no one gets his nerdy quotes because Star Wars doesn't exist in this universe for some ungodly reason, so his nerdy quotes became sagely worded advice and smart quips.

    This, however, does not stop him from using puns. You have been warned.
