    Summary

    Tumblr Prompt:

    "Danny's got a habit of phasing things into his body, in case he needs it.

    This is, of course, perfectly fine. When he needs a pen, notepad, sticky note, phone, wallet, bam he's got it! It's a convenient way to store all his things.

    Superman, however, is incredibly worried. X-ray vision isn't perfect, and he can't always understand what he's seeing beyond simple shapes.

    He does, however, know that this boy has several unidentifiable masses in his body - completely crowding his organs. Is he okay???"

    Summary

    Jason’s had a long day. First Roy leaves wet towels on the floor, then he gets himself nearly killed fighting parademons. Jason’s not mad. He’s terrified. Which, of course, means he's furious. But as it turns out, rage can be a hell of a motivator—and so can kissing someone to shut them up.

     

    What It Means
    A cantankerous person is often angry and annoyed, and a cantankerous animal or thing is difficult or irritating to deal with.

    // Although the former postman was regarded by some townspeople as a scowling, cantankerous old coot, he was beloved by neighborhood children, to whom he would regularly hand out butterscotch candies from his front stoop with a twinkle in his eye.

    AKA a getting together story

    Summary

    Take your kid to work day was a cherished day amongst the Justice League community. Heroes from everywhere got to bring their sidekicks or children into the tower to take a tour and meet other heroes as well as make some friends their age. Kids got to have a good time and parents got to boast about their children. Each year Barry looked forward to the day where he could bring his own family to the Watchtower.

    Summary

    The Justice League did technically name their central computer room after all the Robins. And Tim does still have work he needs to do to finish integrating Red Tornado into the Watchtower's systems. And Tim does have a team uniquely-suited to keeping watch during friendly infiltration missions. And Diana did say that the name of The Robin's Nest would be permanent, no matter what, as long as Tim signed off on it. Which he had.

    (Was Diana thinking about the potential risk to Justice League property when she made that reassurance? Probably not. But then again, she shouldn't've made that promise without doing her research. If she had, she would have discovered Tim's chaotic streak and rules-lawyering nature. So, either she had done her research and they had her full support, or else she hadn't and the Justice League was going to learn a very valuable lesson about the importance of proper research and binding contracts. A no-lose scenario for the Robins of the world.)

    Summary

    Bruce knows about Kryptonian Biology. Clark had previously allowed him to research whatever he pleased in the Fortress of Solitude after the two of them had become closer.
    Krypton had more than two common sexes with differing genitalia. There were no public notes on Clark’s sex, and Bruce hadn’t tried hacking the Fortress’ AI out of respect (Clark didn’t have to welcome him into his most private sanctum after all– also, Bruce doubted he could bypass the advanced AI with such a limited time frame).
    Bruce waits patiently as a silent pillar of support for Clark to regain his confidence. He knows the man is uncomfortable acknowledging his Alien traits, enjoying being seen as more superhuman.
    Clark pokes at his pie some more, playing with his food as a stalling tactic.
    “I’ve reached the third stage of Kryptonian maturity. I didn’t even realize I passed the second stage since it seemed like normal teenager’s puberty– I thought I was just a late bloomer before the Fortress was around to reveal my sex.” Clark explains.
    Bruce processes this, thinking of the previous information he had gathered from the Fortress Of Solitude.
    The Third Stage of Kryptonian Maturity?
    “You’re… fertile?”

    Summary

    It starts with a candy bomb and ends with a bullet.

     

    Jason didn’t mean to shoot at Damian. The gun was supposed to be empty.

     

    Now Bruce is bleeding authority, Dick’s grounded, Tim’s hiding, and Damian’s banned from space.

     

    Also, the Batcomputer is dead.

     

    (But seriously—who loaded that gun?)

    Summary

    Danny is old, older than many universes, and yet he still recalls his years as a teen hero with regret. Maybe that's why he cared for heroes so much now... Of course, when a young Robin begs for his predecessor's return, Danny's heart can't help but acquiesce.

    Batman has questions and demands answers.

    Everything is fine. Hal hasn't said anything in a while, the Watchtower is definitely not failing, the food is definitely not running out, the hole in the side of the station is no big deal, and Barry is just fine.

    Summary

    Forged on Apokolips. Born of New Genesis. Raised to survive, not to live.
    Nova is a weapon without a war—until a Boom Tube hurls him across space and into Earth's orbit, straight into the hands of the Justice League.

    As Clark Kent wrestles with the stranger's origins, Kara Kent is facing her own fire: high school. But the universe doesn't care about letter grades—and neither do the gods who made Nova what he is.

    A high-concept reimagining of a New God OC in the DC Universe. Angst, heart, legacy, and light.

    Summary

    After a catastrophic fight with Angstrom Levy, Mark Grayson crashes through the multiverse and into unfamiliar skies—bloodied, broken, and haunted. His arrival is anything but quiet. Falling into a battle not his own, he becomes a living weapon mistaken for something he’s not.

    “'Hello, boy,' she said, her voice calm and steady, soft but carrying the weight of her sincerity. The warmth in her tone was intentional, an invitation, not a challenge. 'I do not wish to fight you. And I believe you do not wish to fight me, either.'"

    To the Justice League, he’s a mystery wrapped in fearsome power. To Superman, he’s something eerily familiar. But to himself, Mark is just a boy trying not to fall apart.

    He doesn’t know where he is. He doesn’t know if he belongs.

    And when he looks at Superman… all he sees is his father.
