    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

    "Sorry, May, we can't all be best friends with a celebrity.”

    May opens her mouth to retort reflexively, the words 'we aren’t even friends' on the tip of her tongue before she closes her mouth. Because they are friends, now. They’re way past that point.

    Oh my god, she thinks somewhat hysterically. Tony Stark is my best friend.

    (or; Tony Stark, May Parker, and the road to something like friendship)

    Summary

    "By a show of hands," Sensei Lawrence called, "who here thought Lorena was my daughter?"

    In rapid response, a litany of arms went up.

    "Robby, what the hell? Put your hand down."


    Or, girl wakes up in Cobra Kai, so girl learns karate. The rest is collateral.
