    Summary

    “Ya know,” Bao groaned, “If I had your bullshit cheat powers, I’d be fine too.”

    Signal snorted. “Uh-huh. How many fingers am I holding up?”

    Bao lazily looked over at his hand, and then winced. “Bro, I can’t tell when you’re making yourself glow, not cool.”

    Signal stared at him for a long moment. “...Bao, I’m not using my powers.”

    “...Oh. Aw, fuck. That’s bad.”

    Summary

    Xenia (Greek: ξενία [kse'ni. a])
    Derived from the word xenos, meaning “stranger”, or even “friend”.

    Xenia follows a long-standing tradition of housing strangers as honoured guests, where both host and guest have expectations and responsibilities to fulfill.

    Guests treat their host with dignity, posing no threat, and likewise receive respect in return. Hosts freely offer food, shelter and warmth, and are repaid in kind by the guests with news and stories of their journey and the outside world.
    When the time comes, guests continue on their way, often with a parting gift.

    There are rumours— nothing more than whispers— of a shadow running around the streets of Gotham. Some say the Batman is back, but the Knights aren’t so sure.
    If they're fighting for the same things, Barbara wants them as an ally, that much is clear.
    The hard part is convincing them of that.

    Or; Cassandra Cain joins the Gotham Knights.

    Summary

    Sometime in the latter half of the 80's, two strangers miss an appointment with fate. One is thousands of miles away from home. The other is as close to home as he'll ever get. Neither ends up in a particularly unusual boarding school in Upstate New York.

    Somehow, they still manage to cross paths, courtesy of a small bar in Southern Ontario and a beat-up old van. Fate's funny that way.

    Summary

    "And here is my next point. You will pardon my forwardness, but—”

    This, he has to hear. Charles raises his index finger. Erik is nearly not drunk enough for this.

    “How else would you explain the feelings of arousal I have every time I see you effortlessly use your powers, other than our genetics at play? Mutated genes simply—Erik, we simply—power calling to power, some might say, and thus this response is entirely unconditioned. And yet, whenever you move, say, a paperclip—there it is again! Whether it's conditioned or not, by this point, I know I didn't make myself learn that. Genetics, truly fascinating.”

    …What?

    “Are you… making a move on me?” Erik asks, trying to comprehend everything—and did Charles’ hand move to his arm?

    Pavlov, truly applicable when you least expect him.
