    Summary

    So, it didn’t start out like this.

     

    Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-

     

    So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.

     

    It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

    “ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

    --

    A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

    Summary

    Sing, o muse, of the guile of Athena, bright-eyed, triple-born, winner of the game,
    sing of the wrath of Zeus, warlike, king of the Gods, of the flashing bolt, keeper of oaths,
    and sing of Odysseus, shifty, man of many ways and of many sorrows; keeper of bright-eyed Athena.
    -
    -
    -
    Athena played Zeus' game and won. But the king of the Gods doesn't take kindly to losing. While it's true that Goddesses can't die, that doesn't mean they can't suffer. And Zeus has a far more creative punishment in mind than simple lightning bolts.

    On Ogygia, Odysseus has just been told that he is free to leave. But in this version of the story, Hermes delivers more than a message to the king of Ithaca - he delivers a woman. A mortal woman, bound to Odysseus, forced to join him in his desparate quest to return home.

     

    (Or: after the events of 'God Games', Zeus strips Athena of her immortality, and sticks her with that mortal she's apparently become so attached to.)

    Summary

    What was the fun in collecting trauma like pokemon cards if you couldn’t play them?

    Peter trades in his gallery of trauma for the Bats’ rogue gallery as he adjusts to living in Gotham, losing his entire universe, and living with the ghosts of the Avengers. It’s not a fair trade—Peter is definitely being scammed for the damned shiny Jigglypuff—but at least he is getting out of this alive. Mostly.

    Summary

    Strange’s second spell does not have anything to do with memory. Maybe Peter should have expected it, as the previous one acted in the same way.
    Instead of erasing the memories of the ones he loves across the world, the incantation plucked him from his universe, erasing all traces of his existence, and threw him into a new one.
    Now seventeen, having lost his family and friends, he finds himself in a strange world, alone in one of the most dangerous cities across all dimensions.

     

    Or : Peter needs money to survive Gotham and picks up a pizza delivery job.

     

    Spider-Man/DCU (Specifically Batman) Crossover
