    Summary

    “Why did you think I wouldn’t like you for being gay?” Steve asks gently.

    “You’re Captain America.” Eli’s got his teeth clenched and is resolutely looking ahead. “You stand for truth and justice and the American way. You stand for American morals. You stand for…” he shrugs awkwardly. “Not people like me.”

    Steve blows the air out of his cheeks slowly, trying to figure out how to keep the anger out of his voice so Eli doesn’t think it’s at him.

    Or, Steve comes to terms with his new world, and gains some children in the process.

    Summary

    "You say the Warhorse showed up last night," Sam said in tones of profound doubt.

    "Yeah," Steve replied.

    "The Warhorse. The Warhorse of legend. Daelland's Warhorse."

    "The same as the one on the back of the transit card, yes."

    "And he appeared in your living room?"

    Steve eyed the Warhorse, very large and very black and giving him a dubious look out of his strange grey eyes. "He's standing in it right now."

    "Uh huh," Sam said.

    "Hey, I'm not any happier about it than you are."

    Steve's mom had left Daelland long before he was born, following her heart to New York, but she'd raised him on stories of its famous Warhorse. Before she died, he'd promised he'd go back and learn the country she'd come from.

    That was why he was in Daelland. Not so Daelland's legendary Warhorse could appear in his living room. But planned or not that's what had happened—now Steve had to figure out what to do about it.

    Summary

    Kelpies were killers. They lived in the water, drowned anyone who came too close. Ate them, most of the time. It was reflex not choice, like the kick that follows a hammer hitting a knee, because kelpies were no more aware than a wave or a wildfire.

    Hydra knew about kelpies. It was why they'd come up with their brilliant plan to capture one and turn it into an assassin. But like so many plans that seemed good on paper it came with unintended consequences—in Hydra's case, the unintended consequences were Bucky and no more Hydra.

    Steve didn't know that. Even as a sometime Shield consultant, he had no way of knowing any of that. Which meant when the sleek black horse surged up out of the water and didn't kill him, the only answer he could give to, "Why?" was, "I don't know."

    Summary

    Gotham was built on a cave system. Batman has referenced a Bat Cave before. Tim is currently in the cave system. He is in the cave system that he entered from Drake Manor. Drake Manor is right next door to where Batman- The Bruce Wayne- lives. Holy Cavern, Batman! Tim had just accidentally wandered into the Bat Cave’s cave system.

    OR

    Tim, having found a weird hole after a storm, decides to go exploring ignoring the fact that This Is Gotham and They Probably Have Cursed Stuff Down There.

    Luckily, it was just a cave system that spans the entire Gotham underground. Unluckily, Tim is a very curious child.

    Summary

    “I mean, I fell off a cliff for two minutes, and the punk goes and takes a plunge into the Arctic. You would think the chewing out I gave him over the grenade incident knocked some sense into his tiny blond head.”

    Diana raised an eyebrow. “You fell off a cliff?”

    Bucky shrugged. “I got better.”

     

    (Or: Bucky and Diana are so done with their self-sacrificing boyfriends' shit)
