    Summary

    He wanted to combust, set this whole stupid fucking gallery on fire, you included. How dare you exist in this place with him. How dare you just sit there like you weren't rending his ribs open, tearing out the coal-heart he worked for years to perfect, to hone, so he could overthrow his father, so he could make sure his family would be safe, make sure Shoto didn't end up like he did.

    You were wearing earrings with little zombies on them. Touya wanted to cry. You were so fucking stupid and sentimental. He knew you came to his grave every year, the day after the anniversary so you wouldn't have to talk to his family (he couldn't blame you one bit). It's not like he'd been hiding in that wisteria tree since he was seventeen, listening to you talk about nothing. He was so stupid and sentimental.

    Summary

    In 1980s New York, the headlines change faster than the subway lights.

    You're a rookie journalist chasing a story that no one else believes - tall tales of a masked man in electric blue leaping from rooftops, showing up at crime scenes before the cops, disappearing like smoke.

    But when a chance encounter turns into an off-the-record interview, you're pulled into something bigger than just a scoop.

    Because Nightwing isn’t just a rumour. He’s real. And he’s not the Boy Wonder anymore.

    Summary

    Working at a convenience store in Gotham City is a thankless and often dangerous job. Especially if you are working the graveyard shift.

    You quite liked your brief stint at the Circle K in Keystone City, if only because the Flash could be found taking care of crime before they even happened. Plus, your store was the one he frequented the most for snacks and drinks to replenish his energy.

    Even if your friends, Steph and Tim, don’t actually believe that he visited you and in fact said you two were friends. (No, seriously, he did!)

    But a surprise visit from him with Red Robin in tow, a pointed insult to the Bats’ general hostility and unwelcoming nature, and suddenly, you have a revolving door of vigilantes at odd hours of the night.

    Your most frequent visitor and the one that bothers you for a reason you can’t articulate since it also coincides with Tim Drake’s sudden avoidance of you?

    Red Robin.

    But it’s probably nothing, right?

    Summary

    People who lived outside of Gotham City would most often think of it in terms of its heroes and villains. About Batman and Robin, Joker and Harley Quinn.

    People who actually live in Gotham City would only think of one thing: surviving.

    Who cares about the people in costumes when your house has been bombed for the fifth time, or your wife has been taken hostage just because she worked in a bank?

    Or, in your case, when you have to make regular deliveries to places where even Batman feared to tread?

    Because let's face it. In a world full of superheroes and costumed villains, the real heroes are the ones who make sure that people get their pizzas in forty-five minutes or less.
