M: Not detailed or graphic, but strong themes of death, violence, injury, human Trafficking, child abuse & assault
----
When he started at the 118, he had been a straight man and target for Chimney’s jokes, a bratty little punk to Hen’s big sister, a reckless son for Bobby, all while being a competent team mate as soon as the sirens blew. It’s no wonder he lost himself a little, playing the chameleon for everyone else. And somehow, he just never quite managed to break out of those roles.

Maddie should never have had to raise him, and he was so grateful she did…but she never really saw him as grown-up.

Summary
There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him.
Who was this Nightwing, anyway?

Summary
In 2018, on Earth-199999, Thanos gathered all the Infinity Stones and snapped his fingers. Half of the Universe was promptly dusted, and a third was further killed as a direct consequence of the dusting. Weeks later, Thanos used the Infinity Stones once more and destroyed them - thus destroying the Universe itself.
Stephen Strange saw this, but there was no way to save them or the Universe, no time.
And then the Infinity Stones themselves gave him time. Gave him a second chance to save another Universe, their sister Earth: Earth-200207.
A quest that takes place across space and time, within souls and minds, with power and reality. A bet that could save trillions of people or could condemn them to a future worse than he one of Earth-199999. A game of chess against the butterfly effect, with one single starting player:
Earth's Best Defender.

Summary
The Infinity Stones decide that they don't appreciate being snapped to destruction and that it isn't time for their favorite human to rest quite yet. An unlikely group of six is sent back in time to fix the universe before Thanos gets a chance to break it.
—
In October 2023 Tony Stark says “I am Iron Man” and snaps his fingers before he dies. A few seconds later cameras are flashing in his face and people want him to elaborate on the statement. It’s November 2009 after all, and the people have questions.
All violence is typical of canon, also this is gonna have a happy ending so no major character deaths of MY protagonists, just some people who are protagonists in canon. 😘
