    Summary

    Bruce glared at him. Kal always took him seriously when he was concerned about a security risk. Sure, he’d always try to rationalize Bruce’s paranoia, but he never ever brushed his concerns away. Because he trusted him more than anyone. Because his opinion always came first.

    Except-

    Except when it came to Clark Kent.

    Because…

    Oh.

    Oh.

    Bruce swallowed.

    “I didn’t bug his apartment.” He deflected, voice coming out weaker than he intended.

    Oh, fuck.

    ~•~•~

    Bruce Wayne knows two things about Clark Kent. Well, no. Bruce Wayne knows a hell of a lot more about Clark Kent, but it boils down to two things.

    1. Clark Kent is a threat
    2. Clark Kent is dating Superman

    The first is a problem. The second wouldn't be, if Bruce wasn't horribly, desperately in love with Kal-El.

    Which is a third problem.

    Bruce is doing fine.

    Summary

    "Where the hell are you, Peter?" MJ whispered, already irritated, his teeth clenched in a smile that fooled no one. The patient in room 214 continued to sleep peacefully in the corner, enjoying his coma with the dedication of someone who had trained his whole life for it. His vitals were stable. His breathing was rhythmic. He was, at that moment, the luckiest human being in Manhattan, because he didn't have to deal with Peter Parker.

    "Home," Peter said, and MJ heard the wind.

    MJ closed his eyes. Counted to three in Aramaic — a habit he had developed after watching a documentary on exorcisms during a bout of insomnia and never being able to shake.

    Then he said, with the patience of a saint who was about to retire from sainthood:

    "Want to try that again?"

    There was a pause.

    "I'm... almost home?"

    MJ sighed.

    Summary

    It took MJ about four weeks to realise Peter Parker was Spider-Man; a part of him feels a bit dumb for not knowing sooner. He’d heard a few whispers here and there in high school about how scrawny and meek Peter Parker picked up Flash like it was nothing, or could throw a football across a field all of a sudden. And sure, he had sneaked a peek at Peter’s notebook when his eyes lingered, noticing the intricate designs for something he couldn’t make out at the time.

    But MJ had looked past it all, assuming that the guy was finding outlets for his Uncle’s passing. Since they barely knew each other, MJ didn’t feel he had a right to ask the very same questions dancing around the halls. Still, he should’ve been more curious about it; hell, he prides himself on his curiosity. And admittedly, MJ probably would’ve noticed sooner if he weren’t too busy making googly eyes all those years ago.

    Though a four-week record wasn’t too bad to realise something as insane as Peter Parker of all people being Spiderman. What was bad, in his standards, was not noticing that he liked him.

    Summary

    The term, he’s told, is temporary retrograde amnesia. Ilya doesn’t need the direct translation to understand: he forgot things. Ten years of things.
