    My appearance in Metropolis was at your request, and I am thankful for what you did in return.

    With that understanding between us, I’d like to ask why there is an article about me in the Daily Planet?

    Summary

    Batman stares, too long to be polite, too focused to be friendly, too intense to leave Clark with anything but raw heat in his belly.

    If Clark catches him staring, he would do well to ignore it, to chalk it up to Batman’s compulsive observation habits and nothing more. Much safer, Clark reasons, than to name the current of tension that crackles between them. The sense of rightness, the depth of hunger. Like this is what Clark has been waiting for his whole life. Like Batman can read him, and wants to be read back.

    Summary

    His feet hit hard and his knees buckle beneath him. It hurts when his hands skid on the decorative rug, the price he pays for catching himself to keep from flopping face-first into the ground. He's dumbstruck and just kneels there for several long moments staring at his hands, at the bloom of rug burn forming before his eyes.

    "I can't fly," he says dumbly.

    "Noted. Any pain?" Bruce asks.


    Clark's world falls apart, and Superman is to blame. When he's at his lowest, Bruce Wayne gives him a gift: a room that strips him of his powers. A room where he can learn what it means to be human.

    Summary

    Bruce finds out that a rival company plans to release a toy line of the Justice League. Said rival company is named LexCorp and a humanitarian's worst nightmare and there’s no way he will let the League be attached to people as abhorrent as that. So he quickly has all the superhero names trademarked. The problem? Now he actually has to use the JL and its assorted heroes in commerce somehow or risk losing the trademark. Hence, Wayne Enterprises launching a toy line.

    Which would be totally fine if the Justice League actually knew that Bruce Wayne and Batman are the same person... As it is, they're not pleased that this bimbo billionaire is profiting off of them. They demand to get a say in the matter (also, why is the Superman action figure arguably the hottest piece of plastic ever seen, what the fuck?).

    Bruce Wayne just wants to present the information for this meeting without whatever bet his colleagues have distracting them. Unfortunately, Green Arrow appears to be having a crisis over it so getting through this quickly might be harder than he hoped.
