ᑌᑎᔕTᗴᗩᗪY by Lava98

Wanting to be a superhero and becoming one, are two completely different things. But becoming the opposite? That's way easier. And sometimes it's not on purpose. Fate didn't want me to be a hero. I was a fairly normal girl, growing up in Central City. A city where superheroes and super villains didn't exist... until the particle accelerator exploded. Many people were turned into these metahumans, me being one of them. Likely one of the only changed nine year olds at the time. My parents were both scientists for Star Labs, being two of the many others that died in the blast. Needing to get away, I decided to move to Gotham. A good city to hide in. Maybe it wasn't the best city to move to, but, in the end, I'm glad I did. In the crazy town, I was adopted by the two craziest people there. The Deranged Duo, Harley Quinn and Joker. "Rescued by villains, who knew?" I say. "Villains rescue fellow villains," Joker says. "Sounds funny coming from you," I scoff. "Aww, is that the way you should treat your saviors?" Joker teases. "I could've taken them," I scoff. "Why did you save me?" "We watched you take out the last group of thugs," Harley says. "We've been looking for a protégé, sorta like how Batsy has that sidekick, Robin, was it?" Joker grins. "We like you. You're funny." ...

Cold Love by Mask1005

Love. A word so simple yet so complex. For Bruce, it meant family. Family that he lost and the family he created. But love can be harsh, especially if you can't express it. "Bruce I love you but do you?" "I love you dad." "Old man, I once cared for you." "Bruce you were more of a father to me than him." "Father is tolerable." A love story between a cold bat and an average woman and a complicated family. Competed November 23, 2020 **Short chapters** #Disclaimer: I do not own any DC characters or story lines!

Perfectly Ordinary~ Batbrothers by Circesnowball7

He had his father's stature and built making him almost a miniature copy of the fierce CEO of Wayne Enterprises. Though the tint of his skin and the sharp emeralds of his eyes whispered of someone else. Camilla Carlisle frowned as she looked at the boy who had become her friend, Damain Wayne was full of secrets, but someday she'd know everything there was to know about the fierce passionate seventeen year old. He was like a complex puzzle of which she was slowly but surely collecting the pieces to. ... Whenever Tim got caught up in those chocolate brown eyes it seemed to take him a moment longer to pull away. Carston's thick blonde hair was always neat but he felt the urge to run his fingers through it. And his laugh? Oh dear Gotham his laugh. It was the one sound that could be described as pure perfection, and if he could bottle it up and get drunk on it every night, he would. Carston Summers was a distraction. Carston Summers was a he. ... Jason Todd was different. He seemed both charming and uncaring. He gave off this energy when he smiled and she couldn't help but wonder how many long nights that smile had earned him. How many girls had fallen under the spell of the notorious Jason Todd? Despite not knowing him very long she liked to think she knew a thing or two about the man before her. He was fake. ....

If that wasn't enough, something is stirring among the League of Shadows, something personal. Against Nightwing. At the same time, Dick Grayson is a student at Gotham University, struggling to find a balance between hero life and a regular life, trying to discern if there could even be a balance, or if he wants one.
