    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

    “Gotham! I am here tonight to show you the hideous face of 'truth' and its destructive power to tear apart even the closest of bonds! We’re all held together only by illusions and lies, and the ‘truth’ dissolves them all." The new villain Veritas turned towards Bruce, syringe out and pointed towards the arm chained to his podium.“NOW! Under the compulsion of the serum, expose your true feelings: Tell the world what you hate the most about: Nightwing.”

    Dick froze—every argument, every accusation thrown between the two running through his mind. He wasn’t sure if he could take it—to hear it spoken truthfully and directly. Hearing all of Bruce’s hatred, contempt, and disappointment in him poured out not just in a heated yelling match in the cave but in front of Damian, in front of the whole world.

    Bruce coughed, blood flicking from his lips from a failed attempt to bite his tongue, and Dick hung his head in resignation. It was at least nice to know Bruce wasn’t eager to dump out his true feelings.

    “His suit.” Bruce choked, and the room went silent.

    AKA: This is just a fun little thing. Bruce loves his kids so much

    Summary

    Miles is not listening; he is biting into crisp layers of dough, lightly sugared and drizzled with the hand whipped cream that Phoenix has added the tiniest touch of brandy soaked vanilla to, in order to cut through the sweetness with some depth. The delicate strawberry roses lend a touch of tartness that makes each bite more than just a dessert- it is an experience.

    “It’s okay, right?” Phoenix asks, already cleaning up.

    “Perfectly adequate,” Miles says, scraping the side of his fork against the plate to get every last crumb.
