    Summary

    “He told me he was visiting friends! But apparently he left out the part about taking a spaceship to see them!”

    Jack’s pacing was beginning to wear holes into the carpet.

    “How did he even get his hands on a spaceship? His allowance is only ten dollars a week and he spends most of it on chips and candy!”

    Suddenly, Wayne frowned slightly, the corners of his lips turning down as his brow furrowed.

    “Tim said you stopped giving him an allowance because he was failing Calculus.”

    Jack turned to him, bewildered.

    “Tim’s failing Calculus?”

    ---

    In which Jack Drake does not die in a home invasion and is now, inexplicably, co-parenting his only child with another man. Something Jack would protest if he didn't desperately need him because raising his son was a two-person job.

    Summary

    During the Joker's latest attack, five boys went missing. Of them, only Tim has figured out how to survive under the Joker's twisted version of "care." As escape attempts pile up, Tim realizes that his freedom hinges on Batman and Robin coming to his rescue—but even they seem unable to find him with the Joker having gone underground.

    Jason knows it’s only a matter of time before Bruce realizes the mistake he's made by taking him in. Labelled as "reckless" and "emotional," his newly-discovered birth mom might be his last chance at family.

    These two converging roads were always destined to meet eventually.

    Summary

    “Thank you, sir.” Peter turned facing M.J. and Ned’s silhouettes that wobbled against the rising sun.

    “Call me Stephen,” Doctor Strange said.

    Peter smiled, “Thank you, Stephen.” The name felt odd coming out of his mouth.

    The laugh was slight, barely even one. “Still feels weird.” Stephen smiled; it was small and didn’t cause the edges of his eyes to crease.

    “I’ll see you around.”

    The Magician stared at him, eyes mourning something already lost. “Good luck kid.”

    Or: spider-man in gotham, just with identity.

    Summary

    Conner had a pretty good life, all things considered. He wouldn't necessarily call it a great life, but it was good enough.
    Sure, living alone at Mount Justice with only a robot for company could get lonely sometimes, but he had his independence, his freedom from Lex, and his teammates on Young Justice.

    Unfortunately, no matter how content he was with his life, he could never quite shake the way he ached for Superman's approval. The way his insides twisted when his mistakes were met with harsh words and punishing hands. The way jealousy sunk its claws in deep every time he had to watch Superman and Jon interact. Still, he had a pretty good life, and that was all he needed.

    But when an accident ends with Conner being thrown through a wall and Superman learning that his clone isn't quite as tough as he seems, that pretty good life comes crashing down around his shoulders. Superman insists these changes are for the best, that he's trying to make amends and help, but Conner isn't so sure. Not that anybody ever seemed to care what he thought.

    At least Jon had a pretty cool video game collection. Maybe living with the Kents wouldn't be so bad.
