Superman reacts to Damian anonymous October 17 2011, 05:42:31 UTC
Batman is such a self-righteous prick, Superman thinks. Clark's had just about enough of Bruce's disproving glares, how to make the goddamn Batman realize that the clone isn't a his son ( ... )

The message came over Superman’s comm, “Check your e-mail.” Batman didn’t stop to identify himself, as protocol suggested, nor did he stop to clarify which of Clark’s e-mail addresses he meant-personal, work, or Justice League-he meant. Superman had the mental image of him immediately removing his earpiece and throwing it aside, because he failed to respond to any more calls ( ... )

“Still coagulating,” Dick reported. “It’s not deep-well, it kinda is, but it’s long, is what the problem is. Good thing I wear long sleeves anyway, huh ( ... )

Dick grimaced again, right about the time Clark’s heart stopped, and, blood curdling, he came down to land. Unable to turn away, needing to learn the rest, but needing his feet on solid ground. One more revelation like that and Clark didn’t think he could stay airborne from sheer shock and disgust ( ... )

I love that you've thrown in Crocky Crunch! Dick and cereal is almost like Jason and bread.

Thanks for this awesome fill!

Superman had to turn away at that, at the plain, even tone Dick was speaking in. His vision snapped back to normal and he carefully tuned the sound of the voice out. The twist in his stomach was pronounced, and he swallowed to ease the constriction in his throat. His ears were not actually burning, but he was pretty sure they would have been, had someone else been eavesdropping with him.

Sick was a good word to describe what he was feeling, though frustratingly vague. He’d wanted Bruce to get knocked off his high horse, yes, but he’d never wanted anyone actually hurt. He’d wanted Bruce to be wrong for once, he’d wanted to be the moral paragon counterpoint to the Dark Knight that everyone thought he was, and while Superman was not stupid enough to believe that just wanting those things had caused them to become warped, and then, suddenly, real-well, coincidences that are not coincidences are never good news.

It wasn’t like Robin had never been stabbed before-that much was true. But he was usually Robin at the time, on the streets, ( ... )

“-saying you don’t read as many psychiatry magazines as I do,” Bruce continued.

“Whatever. I have this thing that takes up a lot of my time, y’know?”

“A life?” Bruce deadpanned, cutting him off. “No points for repeat jokes. You’re losing your touch.”

He was kneeling next to Dick now, holding the pillowcase to the wound while Alfred continued his duties elsewhere in the house. And also, presumably, kept an eye on the child sleeping in Dick’s room.

“No, I’m losing blood,” Dick retorted, pushing the last few pieces of soggy cereal around the bowl. “Haven’t you been paying attention ( ... )

Sorry for the delay in commenting. Once again, thank you so, so much for filling this.

I really like your take on Superman--exactly what I was looking for. I also like the repetition of "coincidences that aren't coincidences." And Alfred with the cereal! I LOVE it. I also love how Robin is the one coming to Dami's defense, even though he was the one that got stabbed. Can't help but wonder, where is the little hellion in all of this?

Great work! I look forward to the next part!

No worries about delays and stuff, but I am so glad you're liking Supes. I was afraid he'd be coming off as too passive and reader!avatar-y--partly because this is my first time writing the dear old boy scout and partly because framing a scene from the POV of the unseen spy is one of my favorite tropes. And Superman is seriously the best character ever for that.

I will say, though, that Rob's not coming to Damian's defense so much as he's rationalizing his behavior. I think Dick ultimately has it in his heart to forgive this, because Damian's pretty much been raised on brainwashing with a side of propaganda, but his main motive so far is keeping Bruce from being consumed with guilt. Because this situation is seriously the best thing ever from Bruce's POV-- the son he adopted to give a safe haven to is nearly killed by the biological son he's trying to rescue from that kind of darkness. Pretty much any logical action (like, you know, saving his life) is going to be interpreted by Damian as favoritism towards Dick ( ... )

No, actually, I think the reader avatar works quite well, and it's kinda sorta also what the prompt requested. I think you're doing a fine job of writing Supes--something was up with Bruce, something presumably serious, so he went to investigate, but he can't intervene and can't help himself from eavesdropping. I think it's perfect.

And I totally see what you're saying about Dick. And I like how you say that "Pretty much any logical action (like, you know, saving his life) is going to be interpreted by Damian as favoritism towards Dick." It's funny, because it's true. (Also tragic, because it's true.)

I find it odd that he's sleeping and that he's sleeping in Dick's room. I will put my faith in you, Writer!Anon and see how you proceed :D!

Will now go read the next bit and comment accordingly! Cheerio!

Bruce was staring hard at the boy. The kind of stare that could melt glass and win confessions. He’d already looked troubled and stressed, but there was actual dread on his face when he asked, “What is it that you’re not saying ( ... )
