    Summary

    "How old are you anyway?"

    Bruce smirks a little, “Pretty old.”

    “How old am I?” Dick rephrases the question. Realistically, given the lines on Bruce's face and the grey in his hair, he has to be more than a decade or two in the future. But, well, Dick's still reeling from being twelve. He can't begin to imagine a world where there's anything past tomorrow.

    Bruce's smirk sinks a little, but not quite to a frown. It's a distant smile, fighting through the shadows of whatever it is Bruce sees when he looks down at him. In a quiet, mournful tone, he says, “Not that old. Not old at all.”

    (A young Robin and Nightwing swap places; Batman is always the constant.)

    Summary

    Dick rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I’m mostly used to sparring with my little brothers, it’s kind of just habit, and I was having fun. I didn’t want the match to be over too quick.”

    “Too quick?” Derek asked, eyebrows raised. “I’m twice your size, kid.”

    Dick shrugged. “So’s Bruce and we’re pretty much tied at this point, or at least according to the score board the kids started to keep for Saturday spars.”

    “Saturday spars?” Derek repeated, following him towards the locker room.

    Dick flashed him a smile. “What? Don’t have any weird family traditions?”

    “Not ones that include hitting each other,” Derek said

     

    OR The BAU gets a probationary profiler who is a little more than he appears at first glance. Or second. Or third. Just how many secrets can Dick Grayson be hiding from a team full of profilers?

    Summary

    His brothers don’t want to see him. No one does. Not after Spyral. Not after the lies. And Dick wants to scream that it’s not his fault; it never was. But he can’t.

    So he doesn’t. He’ll be fine alone anyway.

    OR: Post-Spyral. Secrets are revealed. Traumas are addressed. No-one is happy.

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne is not the founder type. He wouldn’t voluntarily join a book club, much less join a league of super-powered vigilantes whom he does not know personally. Hence, why he refuses to entertain this “Justice League.”

     

    It starts with a friendly visit.

    Summary

    “Do you beat your children?” Bruce asks, voice flat and odd in a way unlike any Hal has ever heard before, and Hal’s blood runs cold, and –
    Other Batman’s jaw clenches. He does not answer immediately.
    The whole fucking League visibly draws back.

     

    In which Bat has instituted very strict measures for handling alternate versions of himself, and the Justice League finds out why.
