Summary
again and he silently begged for any sea god to please let him out of the dizzying, pitch-black hell. His body ached from getting beaten into the box’s side. The water was stale and disgusting in his gills. There wasn’t any light and he couldn’t see anything.
He was so full of fear he was beginning to get numb to it.
He didn’t know what these humans wanted with him, but he knew it couldn’t be good if they started by shoving him into this too-small box and tossing him around like a boat on an angry sea.

Clark is an aquatic mammals trainer at the Metropolis Aquarium and Bruce is their very unruly new resident. Clark doesn't realise that Bruce is only the first of many mers that are going to live in the Aquarium.

Summary
“They unmasked him,” Bruce says, slow, each word sticking like it doesn’t want to come out. “And strapped him to a bomb that was connected to his heartbeat.”
Jason doesn’t say anything. He has never had any reason to trust anything Bruce says. It’s such a Bruce-like thing, to lie about something so enormously unimaginable.

The world believes Dick Grayson is dead. But Jason could never fall for something so ridiculous. Dick Grayson? Dead? Impossible.

Summary
One last time he let his voice ring loud: “I am Dick Grayson, Son of King Bruce! I am the oldest of seven, and I will bring you back! I will save you! And we will all return home together.”
His siblings vanished from his view bathed in golden light, their delighted swan song still echoing in Dick’s ears. He picked up the first thistle, a thorn piercing his skin. He watched as a sole drop of blood ran down his finger… it had started.
Or: Dick is eleven when he and his siblings get send to a castle in the woods - He is seventeen, when his brothers and sisters get turned into swans - And he is eighteen when he sets out to save them. -

Bookmarker's Notes
Strapping the goggles and mask on, he gave the all-clear and hopped into the water. It was practically frothing with bubbles, and if the situation were less serious he might have made a joke about Finding Nemo and a bubble volcano, but as it stood he could barely see a thing and his anxiety was sky high.
Studying mers for upwards of a decade had given him a healthy respect for how dangerous they were when humans threatened their territory, let alone when they were brooding with a grudge. He wanted what was best for Big Red, and he was absolutely certain that Red did not know that yet. He’d feel a lot better about all this if they could actually see the mer, but with how frothy the water was, Tim could barely see two feet in front of him.
He had a desperate, fleeting hope that he wasn't about to be murdered, but the shifting shadows around him weren't very promising.
