How ever had the great city of Metropolis come to this day, the world may never fully know. The city's tall, gleaming skyscrapers had once dared to reach out to the heavens, yet now they lie in ruins. The once magnificent city had acted as a beacon of hope, justice and truth. Yet, before the eyes of its very citizens, the city had been reduced to rubble and ash.
With their savior nowhere to be seen, the people of Metropolis had no choice but to flee as that danger grew ever more ferocious. Their screams had echoed throughout the city. Some would look up to the sky and call out his name. "Save us," they said, "save us". Yet, he did not arrive.
A rather inhuman roar had claimed the city for its own, following it had been cracks that began to form in the ground as the hulk of a beast tore its way through the city. A beats so suitably dubbed Doomsday. With a terrible roar, the creature scooped up an empty school bus and randomly tossed aside, not caring as to how many lives he had brough

Ground Zero {The Unholy Trinity: Book I}
They're gone, and I'm the one still standing. The last Bat. The idea of that used to fill me with pride. Back when I thought this legacy-this insane, cursed mission-was worth fighting for. When I believed I was worthy of it. But now? I stare at the wasteland Gotham's become, and all I feel is empty. My family... all of them died believing in this. In me. They died thinking I could carry on what they started. What they fought for. And what the hell do I have to show for it? A city in ruins and a guilt that's carved into my soul so deep I don't think it'll ever heal.Complete
You Never Cease To Amaze Me, Bats

So he doesn't give then them any. He holds grudges even beyond the memory of others. He hates asking for help. ----- "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."Complete
Superman V Batman: Dawn Of Justice
Clark Kent's mission to save the world isn't going as well as he wants, especially since his last run in the red cape ended up with him having to face a powerful tyrannical General from his home planet Krypton and razing half of Metropolis to the grounds in the process. Just when he seem to have the situation under control, everything changes with the mysterious arrival of the famous Dark Knight of Gotham in town. In truth, Clark's problems may have just really begun. A god, an angel, even a menace; those are some of the things Bruce Wayne have heard people call the supposed Man of Steel. Deep down, he knows those words are insufficient in describing the red-caped seemly all-powerful being. Determined to satisfy his curiosity, he travels to Metropolis in order to have a face to face with Superman. What Bruce doesn't know is that more than just fate may be at work.

The Justice League of Earth 2023
Earth-2023 was born in the aftermath of the Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths. The multiverse had been saved, but at great cost. Many worlds had been lost, and the remaining ones were forever changed. But from the ashes of destruction, a new world emerged. Earth-2023 was a world where heroes had emerged to protect the innocent, and the Justice League of Midgard had become a beacon of hope. They were a team of powerful heroes who had banded together to defend their world from all those who would seek to harm it. They were the first line of defense against the forces of darkness and chaos that threatened to engulf their world. The creation of Earth-2023 was not an easy one. It was a world that was forged in the crucible of conflict, as the remaining heroes of countless worlds fought to create a new reality. They battled against the forces of entropy, and they fought to preserve the light in the darkness. They were not alone in their struggle. They had the help of a mysterious figure, known only as the Monitor. He had been the one who had saved the multiverse from the Dark Crisis, and he had guided the heroes of Earth-2023 in the creation of their new world. As the heroes fought to shape the new Earth, they discovered that the world was not without its own dangers. They encountered strange creatures and powerful villains, each of whom sought to claim the world for their own. But the Justice League of Midgard stood strong, and they were able to protect their new world from these threats. And so, Earth-2023 was born, a world of heroes and villains, of light and darkness, of hope and despair. It was a world where the Justice League of Midgard stood ready to defend it from all who would threaten it. It was a world where anything was possible, and where the fate of the multiverse would be decided.Complete
Of Birds, Rich Boys & Superpowered Teens
Dick Grayson, older brother to three insufferable younger brothers (who he loves very much) and Gotham City's most eligible bachelor (or was it second? He didn't really keep track). Of course he had plans for a fine Saturday night. Getting called out by Gotham's own maniacal terrorist -- The Joker; yes, the Joker -- on national television, was not one of them. If that wasn't bad enough, now the Joker had all of Gotham City's criminals -- or more than half of the population -- right under his thumb. And you guessed it; now all of them are out to get the Wayne brothers! But the Wayne boys are more than just pretty faces and pockets overflowing with money; they are the Batman's protégés, the elusive elite band of vigilantes who fight crime and protect the city every night. With all of Gotham's worst criminals after them though, protecting their secret identities will be a challenge. So Batman has decided to call in the Young Justice team to help protect his sons. The Young Justice team came in expecting to be protecting some rich kids who had the misfortune to catch the eye of the Joker. What they hadn't been expecting was the utter chaos that was the Wayne household. Also available on Archive of our Own, under the same title and username!Complete
My Misconceptions
As an orphan, Emma Johnson never exactly believed in miracles or magic of any kind. Or even the proclaimed superheroes everyone loved. That all changed the fateful night when she was mugged and attacked. At that point in her life, she had come to the conclusion that she wouldn't amount to much, and as she lied half-conscious on the ground, she couldn't help but think that she deserved this kind of death. She didn't want it, but it seemed appropriate to someone with nothing to call her own. Then in swoops in her own personal superman, saving her and taking her back to his place where she wakes up the next day. She is then surprised to find that everything she thought was fake before, was suddenly coming to life before her eyes. And what's even more shocking is, she's been in the middle of it her whole life. Description credit goes to my friend, dropsofargent, who so kindly wrote the description for me. Thanks Emily, I owe you one :3Complete
A New Beginning
Humans don't understand how someone can be both dead and alive, and that fact scares them, it opens up the possibility of a threat even if there is no evidence of malevolent intent. So, the only solution in the minds of humanity is to dominate and subjugate the unknown variable until it no longer has even the potential to be a threat. They choose to pretend that the unknown variable is lesser, that humanity is superior on no other grounds than that it's humanity. Danny had been stuck with the G.I.W for years when the Young Justice team rescued him. Broken, beaten, and none the wiser of the greater majority of humans, the humans with kindness in their eyes and light in their souls. He's been trapped in the darkness of greed and fear and violence for far too long, and what's left behind is a fractured mind and a trained weapon. Buried underneath that, however, is a young child who is scared and confused, a child that hasn't seen the light of day in years. That child never expected to see the bright side to existence, to see the light shine in the souls of the righteous. That all changed with one group of heroes, and one family of Bats. Cover doesn't belong to me. Cross-published on two other sites *Undergoing heavy editing, nothing plot-wise is changing, I am only editing grammar, mechanics, vocabulary, sentence variation, and formatting and overall I am just making it a more pleasant and refined read :) I am also deleting the A/Ns at the beginning and end of each chapterComplete
Elemental (Robin x Reader)
COMPLETE "Four years ago we met for the first time. Do you remember?" "Right! You gave me a rose. You were so nervous, you'd think you'd never talked to a girl before."

Raised as a hero. What she was, a mystery. When the new team formed she was ecstatic to see her old friends again. And her childhood best friend Dick Grayson, Aka Robin. But when she has to face who she really is, can Robin and her friends show her the light, or will the darkness overcome her?
