Summary
“You know, I’m a little hurt you didn’t call me specifically for help,” Superboy says as they clear the third floor landing. He sounds a little wry. “I mean, I heard the ping and all, but still.”
“I don’t know you,” Tim reminds him snarkily, and Superboy manages a groan that sounds like a verbal iteration of rolling ones’ eyes. “We’ve met like, twice. Forgive me if you’re not the first call I make when I want backup.”
“We’ve met three times, actually” Superboy counters cheerfully. That wretched housecat is curled up against his chest, purring away like it hadn’t just spent ten minutes trying to claw Tim’s eyes out of his skull. He glares at it.
or, the first time that Tim ever meets Lex Luthor face-to-face is in the aftermath of a house fire.

Summary
Ice clenches his jaw like he’s so frustrated having to spell it out. “Mitchell. Stop it. I know. And it’s fine. It’s not the first workplace crush I’ve dealt with. But we both know this,” Ice gestures between them with a doubtful grimace. “It’s not healthy.”
Wait. What?
“Workplace…crush,” Maverick repeats, stuck on the words, mental gears turning in slow, rusty clicks as he plays back the conversation. Ice accused Maverick of being more interested in him than Amy. Maverick thought he meant as a rival, a sparring partner. But he meant romantically? That can’t be right.
“Stop it,” Ice says with a roll of his eyes like he thinks Maverick is messing with him. “There’s no point denying it. You like me.”
Maverick stares at him with his mouth agape, unable to formulate words. The struggling gears in his mind have ground to a halt.
“It’s really obvious, man,” Ice continues, tone softening. “You’re like a kid with puppy love. You’re always trying to get under my skin, get my attention. It’s flattering, in a way. But I’ll pass."
“You think I like you?”
***
Five times Ice rejects Maverick (plus one time he doesn't).
