“Despite what many still think, I am only human. I don’t have super strength or speed, I'm not immortal and I certainly can't sense emotions.” Bruce said. “I have to trust that Clark won't snap my spine, that J'onn won't read my mind, I have to think ahead so that vampires can't outlast me, werewolves can't maul me and incubi won't use my emotions against me.”
Bruce sighed. “I'm human. That's the problem, not metas or supernaturals, just that.” -

Bookmarker's Notes
Strapping the goggles and mask on, he gave the all-clear and hopped into the water. It was practically frothing with bubbles, and if the situation were less serious he might have made a joke about Finding Nemo and a bubble volcano, but as it stood he could barely see a thing and his anxiety was sky high.
Studying mers for upwards of a decade had given him a healthy respect for how dangerous they were when humans threatened their territory, let alone when they were brooding with a grudge. He wanted what was best for Big Red, and he was absolutely certain that Red did not know that yet. He’d feel a lot better about all this if they could actually see the mer, but with how frothy the water was, Tim could barely see two feet in front of him.
He had a desperate, fleeting hope that he wasn't about to be murdered, but the shifting shadows around him weren't very promising.

There would have been no rescue for Mark, if NASA had not noticed he was still alive. Unless of course, a certain Big Hero noticed instead.

Summary
The new kid is all spitfire fury and curses in languages Matt hasn’t even heard before. He’s barely nine years old and tiny and the first thing he did when he came here was charm sister Agatha the uncharmable, and the second thing he did was pick a fight with a kid twice his size, and now he’s climbing out of his window.

Bookmarker's Notes
Jason Todd went out into the rain one night in April hoping to engage in some illegal activity that would provide him a dinner that didn't come out of a dumpster. He wasn't expecting that he would meet the three founders of the Justice League by noon the next day.
----
There are many kinds of strength and Diana will always lend hers to the Bat and his Reds.
