Summary
Batman gets into a situation during an alien invasion and could use a rescue. Unfortunately, Dick and Jason don't think the Justice League is up for the task. At all.
So Dick lets the League know that he will be handling the situation and to expect Batman back by the end of the night. He even promises that he won't be going alone. No one should stand in the way of a Batfamily rescue, even if the Justice League doesn't know there's a Batfamily at all.

Summary
Sometimes the universe speaks so loudly that you cannot possibly ignore it. Buck wasn't sure he believed in fate until he came to Los Angeles, but sometimes your life falls into place in ways you could never expect or explain.
or the one where complete strangers, Chris and Buck, trauma bond to an unhealthy level after the tsunami, and suddenly a grieving widower has the equivalent of a fallen angel living in his guest room helping him raise his traumatized son.

Summary
"Excuse me."
Buck doesn't realize he's the one being addressed until the speaker tugs at his t-shirt. He turns and blinks, taking in the lone child in front of him. It's a boy, maybe five, six years old with a bright green, dinosaur-themed t-shirt, a mess of golden curls on his head, and forearm crutches on each arm.
"'Scuse me," he repeats, lips pursed like he's weighing Buck up and finding him, so far, wanting. "Are you a firefighter?"
or:
Nine months into his probationary period, Evan Buckley meets a boy on a pier and survives a tsunami (just barely in that order).
