Summary
In a blink, Tim realizes he is in fact- not where he is supposed to be.
It could be the fact that he was previously in his bedroom and yet, is now in a warehouse. Assumably one on the east docks, he can tell by the smell. It could be the fact that he is wearing clothes that aren’t quite- but very close to -pooling around him like someone dressed him up in clothing meant for someone half a foot taller. Or that he shrunk.
Undoubtedly, however, the biggest clue was the man in front of him holding a gun pointed straight at him. A gun that doesn’t look all magical but definitely isn’t just technology, along with its wielder giving him the most shocked face he has ever seen.
Tim, who prides himself on being pretty fast on the uptake, absorbs all of this information in a few seconds and with all the sudden adrenaline within him decides to focus in on one thought: He is not supposed to be here.
With all the experiences a twelve year old can have after following (read: stalking) dangerous vigilantes on rooftops with no outside help or training, he decides to fall back on what he knows and what he’s comfortable with: running the fuck away.

Summary
Few people get a second chance. Few people get the opportunity to make the right decision after a mistake.
If you got a do-over, what would you do? What would you change?
There aren't many who get the chance to actually make those decisions.
But Steve Rogers did.
And he saved the world.
Just not in the way he thought he would. -

Summary
“Don’t you want to get back out there, though?” Buck asked. “I mean, you kept asking about my couch, but what about you?”
“I’ve had a couch this whole time,” Eddie countered.
“A metaphorical couch.”
“The hell is a metaphorical couch?” Chimney asked Hen and Ravi under his breath, earning only a shrug and raised eyebrows in response.

Or, Eddie starts dating, makes some friends, makes some realizations, and makes a serious offer.

Maddie seemed to think he was reckless for sport rather than screaming for help. Or maybe, she too was crying out, but they couldn’t hear each other over their own pain. -

Summary
He doesn't expect Bruce to aim for the neck. Slitting someone's throat always seemed like it would be more his gig than the Bat's.
Edit- As of 1/26/21 this work has been edited and reformatted. No major plot changes, but there are some small changes and additions for coherency.
Also I finally finished it!
