    Summary

    Danny was just trying to graduate college. He was doing his best. Made it halfway through the semester. His grades were good! Solid B's all around. He didn't need ghost or vigilante drama to mess any of that up.

    Which was why Skulker picking a fight with Red Hood was the last thing he needed. Why was it so hard to be normal?

    Summary

    "The runes are wrong."

    "What does that mean for us?" Tim hisses over the beginnings of a dozen voices rising in chant.

    "Nothing good." Jason states grimly, frantically racking his brain for any way out. Whatever entity is about to come out of this circle is going to be baring a fate worse than death.

    Jason would know. He’s been dead.

    …Actually speaking of being dead. Jason does know someone from the Ghost Zone with enough sheer audacity to help him fight what very well could be an actual demon.

    With a mental ‘fuck it’, Jason begins to chant.

    AKA: Jason and Danny became friends in the Ghost Zone. This is about to be everyone’s problem. Batman just wants to know who this illusive teenager is. Because he’s a meta. Obviously. Not for adoption reasons. No siree, not him.

    Summary

    Superman is infatuated with Bruce Wayne. Batman is infatuated with Clark Kent.

    Looking at it that way, it really shouldn't be as complicated as it is.

    Summary

    Spider-Man is a relatively new, controversial vigilante, and Johnny has a crush the size of the Empire Building. The Four - operating under the assumption that Spidey is an adult - do not approve.

     

    “I just happen to think Spider-Man's cool,” Johnny says, matter-of-factly. “A hero can think another hero is cool without making it weird. I admire his aloofness. And his badass-ness.”

    “His aloofness,” Ben repeats, chuckling into his mug of beer. It’s roughly the size of Johnny’s head. “Yeah, sure, I bet that’s all your admire, right?”

    Summary

    Despite everything he might have tried to avoid it, Jason had to grudgingly admit that after a) utterly failing to kill any of his family and b) getting to the stage of actively helping them not die, he was actually back in the family for the long haul. Damn it. Somehow this turned into Jason taking a job in the family business, which would be well within his comfort zone if they were a mafia syndicate, instead of the proprietors of a business that generated a significant fraction of America's GDP.

    Jason has reservations about this.

    There is one consolation in this hellscape of paperwork, meetings, snotty IT workers and being co-workers with his idiot brothers. He meets an intern named Tim, who never fails to make him smile.
