    Summary

    “Who gave you a baby?” Dick demanded, the instant Bruce opened the front door, eyes drawn immediately to the sobbing infant on Bruce’s hip that he gently bounced to no avail. At the same time, Bruce muttered, “I told you, it’s fine, you didn’t have to come.”

    Dick rolled his eyes and pushed past him. Noted the scattered blankets, baby clothing, and dirty dishes gracing nearly every surface of the lake house with a glance. “I figured that out when you hung up on me. My question still stands: who in their right mind gave you an infant?”

    Bruce opened his mouth and then shut it. Took a deep breath which he blew out slowly. The plain white dress shirt he favored on the weekends was streaked with what looked like pea puree, sweet potato, and snot. “A desperate alien ship with no other options.”

    “Yeah, that scans.”

    Summary

    "Bruce." Clark turns towards him, leaning back against a bank of consoles. "We're not actually going undercover. We don't need an elaborate backstory– if anything, it'll be harder to keep straight. It doesn't have to be complicated." He spreads his hands. "Here's a story: we're members of the same elite fighting force. After years of saving each other's lives in the field, we fell in love. That's it."

    Bruce swallows past the almost-truth of it. In Clark's warm smooth radio voice, it sounds plausible. It sounds like something that could happen.

    Bruce and Clark pretend to be married for diplomatic reasons. When they return to Earth, things are a little different.

    Summary

    “Are you sure you’re feeling quite all right, sir? I was but fairly sure the head hadn't been impacted.”

    “No… no, please. Listen. I’m in his body, but I’m not him. I can prove it.” Ill at ease, Clark rubbed at the back of his head, not stopping to think about the weird sensation of feeling not his own curls, but somebody else’s hair.

    The man continued to stare at him with piercing and scolding eyes. “I believe you.” He nodded. “Mister Wayne doesn’t say please this early in the morning.”

    Summary

    To escape the destruction of his home planet, Kal-El comes to earth looking for a new life. But starting over on an alien planet with no friends or family, no grasp on the languages or cultures, and a body that barely feels like his own is more than anyone should ever have to do. And it doesn't help that every government on earth is hunting him down.

    Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne is doing his best to find the alien who crash landed to earth and make sure he means humanity no harm. The two inevitably collide, but there are more secrets between them than either care to admit.

    Summary

    The purr is called urvishulahdh. The cultural anthology tells him that it can be used to calm children, or even as a self-soothing mechanism, but it is most common between family members as an expression of contentment, tranquility, peace.

    Clark stares at the 3D anatomy diagram of the throat, the auxiliary vocal cords layered underneath the human-like main set, as they slowly vibrate, and asks the Fortress in halting Kryptonian to play the associated audio.

    Kryptonians purr. Clark purrs, and then doesn't. Until he needs to.
