    Summary

    'It was humiliating...' Alfred thought to himself. 'Of all the things to do to me, why'd it have to be that...?!!'

    Alfred. F. Jones gets overexcited, sure. He just had that kind of personality. But his friends didn't need to tell him that they couldn't stand it, he already knew. And they especially didn't need to tell him like that...

    'So now what?' Alfred thinks to himself as he packs away some things into a box. 'I can't quit my job, I can't move too far... I can't run away from this...'

    But maybe it isn't about running away... Maybe what he needs will find him...

    Summary

    Nightwing has to bite back a laugh. “Gotham is a no-fly zone for more than just the JL, Supes. But, from what Blud knows, chances are that whatever you’ve heard is probably true.”

    Superman pales, which is anything but unexpected. Pretty much all of Gotham tends to be horrifying to Outsiders, as Nightwing is well aware. The question here is which rumors Superman decided were concerning enough to actually look into, the answer to which could be literally anything from the pollution levels to the regularity of the city-wide Fear Gas attacks.

    Or something entirely outside of the usual spectrum of Things That Outsiders Need To Stop Freaking Out About, Nightwing discovers when Superman blurts, “But the Waynes aren’t actually possessed, right?”

    …Ah.

    Well, crap.

     

    Or, in Gotham, it’s been common knowledge since the very beginning that the Waynes are unwitting hosts to the parasitic Bats, who protect Gotham and its people from threats both internal and external in turn. There’s nothing anyone can do about it, even if they wanted to.

    (That’s… not actually what’s happening, but nobody needs to know that. The Batfam is too committed to the bit to pull out now.)

    Summary

    “The Bat is taller than two men standing up,” criminals whisper, tucked into dark corners and shadowy bars, voices hushed as if afraid something might overhear.

    “He has bat-like wings and ears, and his eyes glow like the devil,” one mumbles into his glass, “you can shoot him a hundred times, and still he stays standing,” another complains as he wipes down a pistol with a rag.

    Their stories vary, yet one thing stays the same: you do not want to get caught by the Bat.
