Phantom does not like Bruce Wayne, he tells Batman with a completely serious face.
Phantom is hanging out in the Watchtower, shooting the shit with Green Arrow.
Well, Phantom is talking shit about rich people.
"Sounds like a personal grudge," Batman comments idly. Lots of people don't like rich people, so he isn't actually offended.
"Oh, I just hate a select few. Oliver Queen? He's fine." Green Arrow visibly preens.
Batman feels a lip twitch, but fights the smile.
"What about Bruce Wayne?" Superman asks, very deliberately not looking at Batman.
Phantom snorts.
"Bruce Wayne? I hope he wrecks one of those fancy cars and needs both his feet amputated."
The room goes completely silent.
"Holy crap, kid; what'd he do?"
"He backed Vlad Masters is what he did. The Wayne Tech he provided was used to get one-up on me; took me literally two months to escape." The kid cracks his neck, and the high neckline moves enough to show off a shiny new red scar.
Bruce feels the world drop from under his feet.
"He what?" The question is ripped from Batman's throat before he even finishes thinking it.
"Oh yeah, he also financially backed the supporting senators behind the anti-ecto acts. Bruce Wayne is a literal useless sack of shit."
"...I'm sorry, the anti-ecto what?" Superman's voice is strained as he asks, and his eyes are already starting to glow.
Bruce, after getting back to the cave, pulls Tim aside and together they rip into every single transaction the board did both over the table and under it.
And there it is.
Multiple board members had been using Bruce Wayne's name as they donated to shady politicians, essentially sold off his developmental tech that was supposed to be disposed of, and had been embezzling funds.
On all official papers, Bruce Wayne was the biggest backer for a law that was in clear violation of Meta Rights.
i SEE WHAT YOU DID I CAN SEE YOU THATS NOT A “i wanna help you” kinda squeeze that’s a “i’m gonna fuck you and it’s going to be the best of your life” KINDA SQUEEZE HELPPPPPP
After rewatching the battle of Starcourt eps (again) for fic purposes, I always forget that while we, the fandom at large, love it when Murray get’s Murray’d by Steve or Eddie, the person who does it in canon is Erica.
She marched right up and set him back on his ass (and then Dustin swooped in and backed her up lol. Their friendship is the fucking best its so damn cute.) within two seconds of meeting him.
Someone look me in the eye and tell me the INSTANT Murray tried to...Murray (lol) she wouldn’t be all over his ass.
It's so fucking painful that the commission saw the problems of hero society, they saw the issues and how they eroded at its pillars. They saw the people hurt and the sacrifices made. And their solution? A child young enough that he'll never know what was taken from him.
For the lovely @turtleduckstudios! Hope you have an amazing birthday!!

Summary: Kouga had heard her call out to that pathetic mutt countless times. But the first time she said his name like that, it was hard for him to resist kissing her right then and there.
The sound of your name is like a pleasant wind chime from my childhood. It reminds me of soft, endless days, a sea of possibilities and no iota of fear.
Mac getting called Mac here and there in his “Ronnie the rat” days and probably before but not embracing it until he watched Predator (1987) and it became his favorite movie for many years, and he thought the name Mac was so badass after watching that movie that he started making people call him it until it stuck.
Of course he was late to watch the movie because it’s rated R and while they didn’t have supervision most of the time he probably didn’t even watch this movie for the first time until after meeting Dennis.
Random thought I just had that I am turning into a short fanfic at 12:07 in the PM's.
Will was sitting at the kitchen table working through some mapping and coordinate work Halt had given him to do while he was out doing "things."
Will heard Tug call a greeting and heard Abelard respond. Shortly after the cabin door opened and Halt walked in. Carrying a cat.
Will stared at his mentor confused for a few seconds, but not really surprised. Halt was honestly kinda weird sometimes and would randomly decide to do the most random things when he was bored.
Halt seeing the question in Will"s eyes answered before he could ask.
"She lives with us now." He said seriously, looking dead into Will's eyes.
"Why?"
"Because I adopted her." Halt replied. "I found her, I wanted her, so I got her."
Will just continued to stare at the ranger, still not that surprised by his actions. He shrugged.
