Summary
"You're sixteen," Tim said pointedly. "You're not allowed to be a crime lord." Was this how Damian felt the first time he'd had to pull Tim out of the sewer for trying to 1v1 Killer Croc? Were all kids this stubborn?
"Batman lost legal custody of me the day he let me die," Jason snapped, fingers curling around the red helmet in his hands. "I'm emancipated. You can't tell me what to do."
"You're not setting a very good example for your little brother."
"Dead men," Jason snarled in the Red Hood's bitter growl, "Don't have brothers."

What is it that's always said about older siblings? That they're annoying, the favorite child, the one with all the talent, all the love, all the experience? That they grow up a little faster, a little tougher, a little wiser? That they learn too early how difficult it is to be a parent?
What happens when that burden falls on different shoulders? -

Summary
Billy was not in the best place. His last foster family left him speechless, and now he can't even transform into Captain Marvel.
He's used to being homeless, but now he has someone by his side. With a big smile so sunny it matches Billy's, this newbie seems to be cool.
Yeah, Dick's pretty cool!
–
Dick was working undercover on a case. Too many homeless people were missing, and the streets only answer to the ones that live in it. So, Dick pretends to be homeless to get more information.
Then he finds Billy, this kind kid who should have lovely parents and at least something good to eat.
He's not getting attached. It's fine.
Well, Bruce wouldn't mind another kid, would he? -

Bullying?
Damian scoffed at the word. He wasn't being bullied.
What a quaint idea. It conjured up visions of being smacked around or shoved into toilets. Of being forced to ingest alcohol or some other mind-altering drug. Of having his locker defaced with filthy insults or stuffed with trash. Which wasn’t what was happening to him at all.

Summary
Jessica Jones has many flaws and fears. Her short fuse has her storming into the midst of the Battle of New York; her paranoia has her keeping the Avengers at arms' length. But she isn't the only one dealing with paranoia and PTSD. Tony Stark seems to be spiralling in Stark Tower all alone, and sometimes Jessica just gives a damn.
//
Pain flares in Tony's jaw when his teeth grind together. One hand curls into a fist on the desk and his knuckles turn white from the force of it. "You are a tremendously difficult person to have any kind of relationship with, you know that?" he bites out, his voice cold and devoid of any hint of playfulness he'd normally be able to employ.
"So stop trying," Jessica retorts emphatically.
Tony's chin drops to his chest and he heaves a sigh, his brow furrowing. Through the haze of his anger, the rearing head of nauseating guilt, he has a sharp moment of clarity. "You'll seriously hit as low as you can just to put people off, huh?"
