Summary
Maybe he doesn’t have a filter because of how tired he is, his mind too chemically addled to properly stop and think. Maybe he wants to keep an eye on Clark, make sure Superman heals and recovers fully, rather than have him shower here at the Hall and send him on his way. Maybe—
Maybe he doesn’t want to be apart from him, and maybe he wants to take care of him, and maybe he wants to be taken care of by him, and maybe he’s just drained enough and just foolish enough and just good enough at making up excuses that this was going to be inevitable anyway.
Whatever reason it is— whatever combination of reasons, most likely— the outcome is the same.
“Come home with me,” Bruce offers.
or: bruce and clark have been fighting monsters as batman and superman for over two days. they're hungry, filthy, and exhausted— so, bruce thinks it only makes sense to invite clark over to the manor to eat, take a bath together, and sleep.

Summary
Then he took a deep breath and he changed. He ironed out every fold in his posture and his face until he looked like Superman again. His shoulders were broad, his gaze was confident, and his smile showed no sign of embarrassment or fear.
It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
Especially since Bruce knows that change. He’s seen it in the mirror before entering parties or nightclubs. He’s always referred to it, internally, as 'putting on my better face.' The façade is his least favourite part of the day, ranking just below 'getting punched by supervillains.'
The idea that Superman is just Kal's better face, that would explain a lot.
It would also mean Bruce isn't alone.

Summary
Jason Todd thought he’d buried his trauma in a book no one would ever find—especially not someone in the Batcave. But when he walks in and sees Tim reading it, everything threatens to unravel faster than a broken spine.

Summary
A journey of self-discovery and reconnecting with your culture was no place to involve your lovesick almost-murderer, even if they were by all quantifiable measures, friends.
Or,
The development of Tim and Jason's relationship through their meetings in various Indonesian cities.
