Summary
“Summerdays, drifting away for oh – oh come on, Caitlin, you know this one!”
It was like a big musical entrance. The front door had slammed open and a tall, slender figure had taken a wide step over its threshold, one arm swinging theatrically up towards the ceiling, singing loudly. The only thing missing was confetti flying out of his lifted hand, really. He hadn’t even missed a single note.
“How can you sing perfectly even when you’re drunk off your marbles, Barry?”

Bookmarker's Notes
Pip was relying on Batman to keep him with his family, that he'd been with only a few months. His grandson, who Barry had spent time with before he had. The closest he had come was last night, sitting in the corner and watching his other three sons interact with the toddler. Well Tim and Dick did, Damian just looked awkward if a little frightened when the toddler hugged him and patted Pip's head whilst hollering for Dick to 'come and remove it.' He was so close yet so far from the relationship he strived to build with Jason and asking this of him, if not done correctly, would just drive him further away.
'We'll take Damian to go and collect his little friend.' Iris spoke up, moving with Diana to smile down at the preteen who pinched the bridge of his nose, an adorable copy of his father.
'Colin is not my friend. He is my ally -

So everything is fine.
That is, until it isn’t.
Until Amy realizes she mislabeled a piece of evidence and single handedly ruined a four month investigation in a matter of minutes. It was a simple mistake, something that happens at least once in every officer’s career. But it had never happened to her. Not her, not Amy. She is the Queen of Organization, the Khaleesi of Paperwork. She doesn’t make mistakes.
Until she does.

Take it from his personal experience or simply a gut feeling, Midoriya knows something is going on with Shouto Todoroki and he’s determined to fix it. Even if it means shaking the world at its feet because Midoriya knows this for a fact; Todoroki needs to be saved. Everyone at least deserves that chance and Todoroki is more than deserving.

The Monster That Hides in Your Bed [ABANDONED] by orphan_account

Summary
Here Shouto is, sitting in a hospital room with a detective who can tell with absolute certainty whether or not someone is lying, ready to hide and falsify and bend the truth as much as he possibly can. He has a plan, he just needs to make sure that it works.
“Did you recognize the individual who attacked you and killed your father?” Detective Tsukauchi asks, pen and notebook in hand.
Shouto envisions a shadowy figure with indistinct features punching himself in the gut and stabbing his father in the chest with an unknown object. The figure doesn’t look like anyone he knows, doesn’t really look like anyone at all. “No.” he says. Detective Tsukauchi nods, smiling reassuringly at Shouto before writing down his answer, and Shouto fights the urge to smile himself.
How can you lie to someone that can’t be lied to? Apparently, all you have to do is tell the truth—about a fictional story that you make up in your head as you go.
Shouto doesn’t know why he was worried. If he’d known how easy it would be to get away with it, he would have killed his father years ago.
~~
Or, Todoroki Shouto murders his father and blames it on the Bogeyman. It works surprisingly well, until it doesn’t.

Bookmarker's Notes
Brandon has been trying to get in touch with Nikolai after his escape, but with no success. He goes to their shared penthouse, where he finds a pair of Nikolai's boxers.
Brandon touches himself while sniffing the underwear - unaware that Nikolai has entered the penthouse and is watching him masturbate while wearing his underwear. -

Summary
Boots thump against the ground—clearly intentional, it’s the Bat after all—accompanied by the quiet swish of a long cape.
Of course, there are other bats with capes: Red Robin and Robin, Spoiler and Black Bat, pretty much everyone but him and Dick.
But with the weight behind the drop, and the fact that Batman’s cape has a distinctive sound—if you know what to listen for—all leads to it being the big Bat.
Exactly the person who’s arrival he was dreading.
OR
Jason is dramatic, blows things a little out of proportion, and spirals for 2800 words on a rooftop.

Bookmarker's Notes
They say Icarus laughed as he fell.
Overcome with joy, with freedom, he laughed.
Jason…didn’t quite laugh, but how else can he explain the sense of calm, of peace settling over him.
This was always his favorite part of flying through Gotham, this falling.

The attacks keep happening.
Jax is hanging on by a thread. An increasingly tenuous thread that’s threatening to snap at any given moment. He’s beginning to hope for it, if only for the pain to stop.
And then there’s Pomni. Stupidly earnest and recklessly kind Pomni.
