    Summary

    He waited until Wayne had downed half the glass, satisfied with the end result. It took a moment for his brain to realize that the clear spring water had come away from Wayne’s mouth with red spiderwebbing through it, blood sinking to the bottom of the glass and expanding in the remaining water.

    Or, the one where Bruce Wayne, CEO of Wayne Enterprises, hides out in Lucius Fox's office, and Lucius lets him.

    Summary

    Clark grimaced. “I’m not sure it’s that straightforward in Gotham. There’s -- things are different here."

    “Hnn.” That was a dangerous sound, especially when it was coming from Ollie. “So when Batman forced Robin through Joker Gas as training, that was just dandy? And when the kid showed up on the Watchtower a month later with six broken bones because Batman abandoned him in Gotham for a night -- that wasn’t straightforward to you?”

    Summary

    Maybe he doesn’t have a filter because of how tired he is, his mind too chemically addled to properly stop and think. Maybe he wants to keep an eye on Clark, make sure Superman heals and recovers fully, rather than have him shower here at the Hall and send him on his way. Maybe—

    Maybe he doesn’t want to be apart from him, and maybe he wants to take care of him, and maybe he wants to be taken care of by him, and maybe he’s just drained enough and just foolish enough and just good enough at making up excuses that this was going to be inevitable anyway.

    Whatever reason it is— whatever combination of reasons, most likely— the outcome is the same.

    “Come home with me,” Bruce offers.

    or: bruce and clark have been fighting monsters as batman and superman for over two days. they're hungry, filthy, and exhausted— so, bruce thinks it only makes sense to invite clark over to the manor to eat, take a bath together, and sleep.

    Summary

    “So basically, it turns off the part of me that gives a damn about consequences.”

    Bruce nodded. “Exactly. It also doesn’t create new thoughts or makes you feel anything new. It just removes the reasons you don’t act on what’s already there.”

    Clark was quiet for a moment.

    Then: “Oh,” he said softly. A glint sparked behind his eyes. “Well then.”

    He moved.

    In one fluid step, he closed the distance between them.

    Or, Clark is hit with red kryptonite for the first time, and Bruce has to deal with a version of him that doesn’t know how to lie, hesitate… or hide what he wants.
