    Summary

    Jim Gordon would like to think he's a simple man. He takes his coffee black. He owns four work shirts that he cycles through without any further thought on his appearance. He loves his daughter. He keeps telling people he's going to quit smoking even if he damn well knows he isn't.

    Normal.

    Unfortunately whatever Jim Gordon would like to think about himself is entirely wrong.

    He can't be certain, but he strongly suspects most normal people don't have their local vigilante population constantly dropping wanted criminals at their feet entirely unprompted.

    Summary

    Dick rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I’m mostly used to sparring with my little brothers, it’s kind of just habit, and I was having fun. I didn’t want the match to be over too quick.”

    “Too quick?” Derek asked, eyebrows raised. “I’m twice your size, kid.”

    Dick shrugged. “So’s Bruce and we’re pretty much tied at this point, or at least according to the score board the kids started to keep for Saturday spars.”

    “Saturday spars?” Derek repeated, following him towards the locker room.

    Dick flashed him a smile. “What? Don’t have any weird family traditions?”

    “Not ones that include hitting each other,” Derek said

     

    OR The BAU gets a probationary profiler who is a little more than he appears at first glance. Or second. Or third. Just how many secrets can Dick Grayson be hiding from a team full of profilers?

    For most people, being impaled by a giant slab of serrated glass would mean game over. In Kon’s case, he’s just in a bit of blinding agony while Superman takes care of Metropolis’s latest Bad Guy Of The Week a few streets over.

    No big.

    --
    While injured during a battle, Kon introspects way too much about his worth. Blood loss and feels ensue.

    Summary

    The man who'd caught his attention was not that rich loser. It was someone much worse—the aptly named Richard Summers who'd been all but running a campaign in the news lately, claiming Bruce was abusing him.

    Robin was hardly scared of anyone or anything.

    Except for one thing: being taken away.
