  Summary

  "My grandmother was born in the Ottoman Empire," Bruce spoke up, without turning to look at Clark.

  Though quiet, the sound of his sudden voice woke Clark further. He watched Bruce set the vinyl record into the player and stet the needle to start. The volume dial had was turned down low.

  Clark thought back to the european-history and middle-eastern politics courses he had taken in college. The Ottoman Empire had fallen sometime in the early 1920s after the First World War. Strange to consider that it was still in living memory for some.

  Summary

  Reading the first installment is not necessary!

  After forcing himself up the few stairs, he thankfully sank into one of the visitor chairs as his boss looked between the two of them critically. Neal smiled beatifically, which looked eerie on Peter's face.

  Hughes let out a quiet, drawn-out sigh.

  "Agent Berrigan reported you two were—" Hughes closed his eyes with an almost pained expression before continuing, "body-swapped." The man looked more done with his career than Peter had ever seen him. He could relate. "By the artifact you were retrieving. Is that correct?" He looked at Peter with a slightly pinched expression. Again, Peter could relate.

  Summary

  After his debilitating back injury Bruce is still recovering. To give him space to heal without distraction he is banished to new York to pick up his old alias of Neal Caffrey.

  —

  He was greeted by the sight of both Dick and Tim at his doorstep in civilian clothes, Dick holding Tim in place by the back of his shirt collar. Tim had a blooming bruise on the side of his face, one arm in a cast, and an obstinate expression on his face. That look at least meant Tim hadn’t been hurt too badly, and Bruce could calm down—though he should double-check for a concussion.

  “What are you doing here?” he pressed out, scanning Dick for any sign of injury. The boy seemed fine, though he was ignoring Bruce in favor of looking Peter—who had come to peek over Bruce’s shoulder—up and down critically.

  “Oh, you have company,” Dickie smiled wanly.

  Summary

  Outside, an explosion sounded, slightly rocking the building. Weird, he thought it was Ivy today. One would expect less explosions.

  He was just deleting the sentence to rewrite it without the word he was apparently too incompetent to spell when he heard the loud sound of a window shattering.

  He froze, carefully, quietly closing his laptop.

  That had sounded suspiciously like it had been his bathroom window shattering.

  —

  Batman is hit by Ivys infamous cuddle pollen. Since Ivy is still lose and the team needs all hands on deck, this does not result in a wholesome family bonding moment. Instead an innocent civilian finds himself the victim to an unsolicited, extended hug.
