High School Reunion
Cassie: There's a certain kind of symmetry to all of this. I'd call it a loop, but I think it's more correctly a spiral. Things are the same, there's a pattern, but it's also gotten so much bigger at the same time, and not over a very large span as far as dates go. Once Upon a Time, when Conner'd...
Finding My Way
Walking down the street looking like my shoulder is sewed to the side of my head I groan just a bit, because I’m going to kill Carter. I haven’t been able to find my headset since he sat at my desk. Taking calls have been a pain, because I haven’t been able to stop at the store to get another...
Who is the Green Lantern
“Thank you for visiting the Metropolis Public Library. How can I help you today?” The enthusiastic greeting came from the librarian at media lab. Kyle smiled over at him tilting his head a bit. “I just need a computer to work on. Working on research project.” Holding up his headphones he smiled...
Bat-ervention
Damien: Damien Wayne. The son of Bruce Wayne, The Batman. Heir to the cowl. Damien stands in front of the glass display cases that holds his old outfit in the Bat Cave, along with his fathers. Looking into the glass at his father's uniform, he stares at it for a long time. Seeing himself in the...
School of Hard Knocks
Roy: Dinah's been like a loving Aunt to Roy, she's helped him through the worst of his times and saw him soaring on a global stage. They're history is intertwined and connected in a way that her and Ollie never could. While technically, if Ollie ever got the idea to put a ring on it. Dinah would...
Playing Superhookie
Conner: Ordinarily I should be in class right now. Should be, but that doesn't mean I am. Being a Luthor, son of the President, comes with a lot of leeway about attendance. Which St. Joseph's School for Boys is not normally keen on, but they made an exception. The Luthor family has a very long...
Burgers, Shakes, and Superpowers
Cassie: That could have gone... so much better. I'm not talking about the bank robbery. I'm not talking about what happened in the vault, and all the subsequent questions that left me with. I'm not even talking about the super great trip through the sewers. I'm talking about my conversation with...
Return to the Roost
Dinah: All in all? That could have gone better. Mission accomplished, though. I'd made myself a nuisance, and a sizable one at that, hopefully for long enough to get the job done. I hadn't exactly gotten a precise timeline for how long I had to keep Superman's attention pointed at me instead of...
Guilty Conscience
Conner: When Cassie called, I was in the middle of flying back to Metropolis. There had been only momentary hesitation before answering. After all, I'd been very close to Gotham! Somehow Cassie knew, that quickly! Am I in trouble? Wait-a-minute. Why would I be in trouble? She's the one hiding...
Just Another Brick In The Wall
Spoiler Nothing says sane like arguing with yourself while you're on the literal edge. At least I'm not suicidal, right? Not technically. I'm fairly sure my Mom and any number of other people would argue the opposite. I'm not trying to die out here. And going out at night in Gotham is the kind of...
A Night On The Town
Joker Gotham City is unlike anywhere else in the world. People use catch phrases for their cities, but they're mostly cute little nicknames that sell post cards. Gotham is the City that Lives. Not because it's some bright, vibrant crowning point of Humanity. It lives in the sense that it has many...
One Night Only
Dinah: There'd been an important question asked up there on the roof, and while I'm sure the kid thought it was going to be a thought provoking, soul inspiring, motivational line? Maybe to someone else it would have been, and having it come from him with what I know of him had been far more...
