Summary
“Elric, I’m assigning you a partner. He is the second youngest state Alchemist, a young prodigy, the same as you. This is our Bleeding Heart Alchemist.”
Several thoughts and questions sprung up in Ed’s head, sputtering and stopping as Ed threw himself from his seat.
“What! A partner!? I don’t need a partner. Colonel, you must have really lost your marbles now.”
Edward is assigned a new partner against his will. Alphonse copes.

Summary
'The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature, when those causes operate most powerfully, is astonishment; and astonishment is that state of the soul, in which all its motions are suspended, with some degree of horror… A mode of terror or pain is always the cause of the sublime.'

"If I come out," Hikaru says, "all the way, you promise you won't be scared of me?"

Summary
Bruce realizes just a moment too late.
Something is very wrong.
Somewhere above him a machine hums to life, and then all of a sudden the room fills with a bright golden light. Bruce’s eyes adjust, and the full horror of what is happening hits him. The discs overhead aren’t filtering the light, they’re concentrating it, aiming it directly to where Clark is lying on the exam chair. Bruce’s stomach drops as Clark screams, writhing on the chair as the automatons pin him down.
Like a bug being cooked under a magnifying glass.

Summary
Bruce always thought that Superman's cute shtick of rescuing cats from trees was a bid for publicity—until a confrontation with a magic user leaves him stuck as a cat. He learns how mistaken he was when Superman not only rescues him, but takes him back to a small Metropolis apartment. The opportunity to learn more about the alien can't be ignored, but is Bruce ready for everything he will learn about someone he has only ever regarded with distrust and dislike?

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.
