    Summary

    "You!” Damian scoffs in outrage, shaking his head, “You're the man engaged to my father.”

    Hal stops mixing the hot chocolate powder into the warm milk, turning around slowly to face the boy. He's so confused, he can only try to decode one part of that sentence at a time, “Your father? Like, your father, Batman? That one?”

    Wrong point to focus on it seems, since Damian's scowl deepens to an impossible degree, “Are you seeing multiple other men that you need me to clarify?!”

    “No! I'm not seeing any men!” Hal tries to reason, before realising that he's having the strangest conversation with Robin, of all people.

    (Due to some misunderstandings, Hal is now engaged to Batman and a stepfather of five, allegedly.)

    Summary

    “Why are you here?” Hal asks, feeling the beginning of a headache pounding in his skull.

    The kid, Jason, stops chewing on Hal’s potato chips and looks at him as if he’s stupid for asking a reasonable question. “Because Batman hates you the most, duh.”

    A tale of friendship that spans years.

    Summary

    Clark heard it just as he stepped out the front entrance of The Daily Planet’s building. The sun had already set, a chilly autumn breeze dragging through his coat. It had been a late evening for him, catching up on drafts for his next few articles before some other emergency stole his attention from his work.

    “Kal-el.”

    He straightened, perking towards Gotham. Something cold gripped his heart as he listened for that familiar heartbeat. The voice was unmistakable; low, rough, and steady, one that grounded Clark almost as quick as Ma’s. In battle, hearing it usually meant there was a plan, that Clark could worry a little less about details; because the man he trusted the most – with his life and the lives of his family – had it under control. It soothed Clark when he faltered, bolstered him when his strength wavered, and steadied him when he teetered on the edge of sensory madness.

    And that voice sounded afraid.

    Clark was suited up and hurtling through the air towards Gotham before Bruce whispered again.

    “Kal–” came his quiet gasp. “I’m sorry.”

    Summary

    Superman hates Conner. He's never said as much, but his constant criticism of his clone after missions speaks for itself.

    Conner doesn't hate Superman, he just wants to stop being terrified of him, but that's just how it's been since the League pulled him from Cadmus four months ago. By October, Tim Drake has had enough and sics Batman on the Man of Steel to get him to ease up on his teammate.

    Clark hasn't been helping Superboy be a better hero. He doesn't know him at all. When he promises Conner things will be different, it takes Conner a while to believe him.

    Is 365 days enough time to change so much?



    OR: Vignettes from Conner's first year out of Cadmus as he and Clark bond.
