    Summary

    There’s a thing about this island, that you don’t really notice until far into your stay, when it just becomes unnatural: it never stops raining. Even rainforests have their pauses, but there is not a breath of dry air to breathe here.

    There’s a thing about families, too, that people don’t ever seem all that keen on understanding: the wrong family is always going to chase you, and the right one is always going to soothe. Like sun to a rainswept land.

    or

    There's an island — every once in a while — that draws folks in, and keeps them strangled in the branches of its trees. This time a handful of pirates and revolutionary are dragged into this island, a none of them are keen on staying.

    Summary

    "They caught Luffy."

    The words echo in Ace's head like a mantra, inescapable and horrifying. Three words that are worse than anything Impel Down had thrown at him so far, worse than the jeers and the torture, worse than the seastone exhaustion and the knowledge of his impending death.

    Gramps says the words with a finality that tells Ace he is not going to do anything, that he's not even going to try and help Lu' even if he is the baby of the family, even if he doesn't deserve this - even if he wasn't born with cursed blood in his veins.

    He wants to rage, wants to pull on the shackles until there's nothing left, shatter them into smithereens - he can't, his haki never got good enough to do more than the most basic protection, Marco had been right he had been relying on his devil fruit - 

    In Sabaody, Kuma is too slow to send Luffy away as well and the Strawhat Captain is slated for execution alongside Firefist Ace when news of his parentage breaks out. Unfortunately for the World Government, they had failed to take into consideration exactly who would be willing to raise hell in order to save his life.

    Summary

    Clark had yet to make any attempt at movement, practically pinned against Bruce not unlike a steel beam himself. He was half-kneeling, half-blanketing Bruce's entire body with his own like a literal human shield. Bruce's heart sank when he realized how eerily quiet and still Clark had been as he'd run through his standard procedures.

    Was Clark okay?

    Batman and Superman get a building dropped on them, and neither of them are doing too great for two very different reasons.

    Summary

    After Clark shoves Bruce in a moment of anger, he realizes he's made Bruce afraid of him. Proof? His heart just won't stop pounding whenever Clark so much as walks in the room.

    At least. He's pretty sure it's fear.

    (It's not.)
