    Summary

    “It's the same, right? You should understand.”

    “As boxing?” When Ilya nods, Shane scoffs. “It's not.”

    “Yes. Is.” Ilya cracks his neck once-- Shane's eyes catch on the stretch of skin before he flicks his gaze back to Ilya's face. He's looking at Shane intently. “Pushing. Forcing. Winning.”

    “That's not…”
    It wasn’t always about that for Shane. Yes, he wanted to win, he wanted to be the best, he wanted to beat the best, but it wasn't about making any other player submit to him. For Shane, it was as much about strategy as it was anything else, about wrapping his head around the rink and knowing exactly how it would go, about executing the perfect victory.

    Still, he can't quite say Ilya is wrong. There was something about it, about shoving another player into the boards, about a clean hit, about a fight on the ice, gloves off. Sweat sticking to his skin, blood pumping in his ears, adrenaline making his vision blurred. Teammates else brawling right beside him, blood in his mouth or dripping from his nose--

    Woodenly, he shrugs again.

    Summary

    Following the internet success of Shane and Ilya's presentation at the NHL Awards, ESPN decided to contract with them to do a whole series. It goes far better than anyone could have dreamed.

    -or-

    “When you think about it,” Jackie said, when Shane had dinner with her and Hayden a few days later, “hockey’s basically already reality tv.”

    Summary

    Alfred forces Bruce to spend two months on vacation in Kansas, a small, sparsely populated town, to give him a break from his grueling training and the mental exhaustion of spending almost every night at his computer reading thousands of Gotham police reports.

    On this short trip, Bruce meets Clark, a boy a year younger than him who is his complete opposite.

    Clark is cheerful, honest, empathetic, and responsible. The golden boy of Kansas, always with a smile and a pleasant tone of voice.

    But Bruce doesn’t believe that’s the whole story. Clark lives on and grew up on the farm where there are reports of a UFO crash, and, mysteriously, his “parents”—who weren’t parents at the time—are now his parents. Was it really a coincidence that Clark appeared after this supposed UFO news? Furthermore, not to mention that Bruce was already considered tall and well-built for his age, Clark was even taller and bigger than him.

    He always seemed to hear more than he intended to, or would carelessly lift objects that would be a challenge even for adults to lift.

    Bruce was sure of it—there was something about Clark, and he wanted to find out what it was.
