Summary
Bruce had been in his office earlier this morning when it sounded like every fire truck in the city was wailing down the streets. He’d asked his PA to find out what was going on and she’d reported back that a semi had drifted across lanes on the Gotham Bridge, flipped, and careened into oncoming traffic, causing a massive pile-up in both directions. He’d turned on the television at one point to see the helicopter footage; it was a mess with possibly over 100 vehicles involved. There were already several known deaths and dozens of injured motorists.
An hour later, his phone rang and his heart staccatoed in his chest when he saw the caller ID. “This is Bruce Wayne,” he said, barely keeping his voice even.
A woman on the other end of the line said, “Mr. Wayne, this is Gotham General Hospital."

Summary
“Are you good with all long pointy things, or just arrows?”
Clint nearly chokes but then something catches in the corner of his eye and he fires an arrow to his hard-left. A second later, across the room to their right there’s a yell and another asshole goes down. “Are you flirting with me right now?” Clint asks, nocking and firing his next arrow.
Batman leans back a little and peers over his shoulder around the corner at where the arrow has taken out another gunrunner. He whistles appreciatively before turning his attention back to Clint. “I think I might be. Hypothetically, if I was, would it be working?” His smile is wide and really fucking charming. He’s casually positioned against the tank with his arms crossed when a bullet pings about a half-inch from his head but Batman doesn’t even flinch.
If Clint were the type, he might’ve swooned at that.

It was because they were celebrating, Roy thought in retrospect, after it was over and he was back home telling himself that no, it wasn’t some sort of fever-induced wet dream, it really had happened.

Summary
Dick takes a half-dozen or so spoonsful of the soup before just pushing it around the bowl while he stares at it. Out of nowhere, he says, “I know you’re wondering about the things I said.” He eats a couple more spoons of soup, head hunched over the bowl.
Jason opens his mouth to deny it but then stops. It doesn’t feel right to not be fully honest with Dick after Dick had been forced to fully bare his own truths in the most brutal way.
“I might be. But that doesn’t give me any claim to the information. You don’t need to tell me anything about it.”
Dick lifts his head and looks directly at Jason, unflinching. “Tarantula raped me. And I’m guessing Roy probably told you about Mirage.” He says it conversationally, and his face betrays nothing, but Jason can’t miss how now his knuckles are white where his hand is gripping the spoon.
Or,
Dick's stalker doses him with truth serum, and no one has a good time.

There's no way I'll ever complete Whumptober in a single year, but I always see a lot of prompts I love and have grand plans to write several. In the end I rarely write more than one or two because, 'short fic'? Never heard of you. Anyway, these are all fic from Whumptober prompts.

Summary
There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him.
Who was this Nightwing, anyway?

Summary
Dick’s mouth is dry. He doesn’t know why he’s so shocked. It isn’t like he didn’t know that Slade is a contract mercenary. A killer, to the fullest extent of the word. It’s just that—while Slade might have been the bane of his existence when he first struck out as Nightwing, recently…Dick can count more times that Slade’s helped him than hurt him. And he thought Slade was better than this.
