“Your brother is adorable.” The cashier cooed at Danny, peering over the counter with a smile. “What’s his name?”
Danny looked down to the surly, scowling little de-aged Batman currently holding onto his hand, glaring up at the cashier with bright blue eyes.
Things had already been bad enough when he’d gotten caught in a fight in Gotham, but things went from bad to worse when a magician had hit Batman with a de-aging spell and then shoved them through a portal.
Into a different fucking dimension.
Because of course neither of their lives could be easy. And now the two of them were stuck in Iowa in the middle of nowhere, at a truck stop gas station, trying to go on a cross-country roadtrip to reach the nearest hero city and get home.
He looked up and smiled awkwardly, trying to come up with a name off the top of his head — one of the heroes called Batman ‘B’ when he got hit right? B for Batman, right. B… B… Bee… Bees.
“Buzz.” He said, and tried not to grimace as the cashier’s face warped with surprise. “Like the astronaut.”
This was gonna be a long trip.

"Finds Cowboys But Without Guns Here," Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. September 19, 1941. Page 5.

Toronto Youth Disappointed Because Saskatoon Punchers Are Not Armed
---
Canadian Press
EDMONTON, Sept. 19. - On a 5,000-mile bicycle trip Wallace Farar, 20-year-old airplane factory worker from Toronto, passed through Edmonton Thursday on the last lap of the journey to realize one of his life's ambitions - see the Canadian Rockies and the rolling prairies of the West.
"I wanted to see the cowboys and Indians," he said, "... I was a little bit disappointed in some cowboys I saw at Saskatoon, they did not have any guns but they were dressed as I expected them to be, in cowboy boots, gay neckerchiefs and 10-gallon Stetsons."
Leaving home August 9, Wallace has averaged 60 miles a day, travelling most of the time on gravel highways.

For Want of a Nail
New Kings
If Neil hadn't gone to Hernandez's house? (@stabbyfoxandrew)
New Kings AU | Unusual Fic Asks - Closed
Andrew felt like he was going to crawl out of his skin. It'd been a month and a half since anyone had heard anything from Neil Josten. Neil Josten may not even exist anymore but everyone was telling him to be calm, telling him to wait.
He snapped at the upperclassmen who did not matter and drew his knives more than once just to make them shut the fuck up. He wants to leave, wants to head out and start tracking down clues to find Neil and bring him back.
If he has to go to jail then he'll go to jail. It's never scared him before and it's not about to scare him now. He is more than happy to be Neil's trophy husband this time around when he gets out.
He makes plans to leave in the dead of night. He writes letters to Aaron, Kevin, Nicky, Wymack, and Betsy to explain himself but in the end that's the only kindness he can give them.
Neil had long been the highest thing on his totem poll. He has no idea what it would take to have someone come above Neil or to have Neil's importance to him wane.
He has plans to lock himself in a storage unit he's rented that is temperature controlled and remote so no one will hear him screaming for his medication. He can't be going through withdrawal on the meds.
He leaves the Tower in the dead of night and makes his way over to his GS having already started to come off of his medication slightly so that he'd be sober enough to drive out of town.
"Where are you going? It's not safe for you to drive." comes a voice and oh great he's hallucinating Neil. It was something he'd often done back at East Haven, his perfect pipedream always just out of reach.
"I'm going to go get you. I'm sober for the next hour before the effects start to hit." he returns with a roll of his eyes.
"Get me?" his hallucination asks. Andrew doesn't want to turn and look into Neil's young face. He's not sure he can handle seeing it.
"You ran off before Wymack, Kevin, and I could get you." Andrew scrubs a hand through his hair wondering why he's talking to this figment of his withdrawal. Except he knows why and that reason why is that he misses Neil desperately.
"Andrew...are you..." he hears the figment of his imagination trail off and then footsteps and then-
His hallucinations have never been able to actually touch him.
He whips around and there standing in the parking lot at 3 AM is a young and exhausted looking Neil Josten. Andrew's hands shoot up to cup Neil's face and he is alive and warm under his fingertips.
"Drew, it's you." Neil says with a watery smile and that was all he managed to get out before he pitched forward and utterly collapsed into Andrew's arms.
"Neil?" Andrew questions before realizing that Neil had truly lost consciousness, he can feel Neil's forehead burning against his shoulder where it lay"Neil!" he exclaims and gets a proper arm around Neil before he falls to the ground. He manages to get the passenger door to the GS open and puts Neil inside before rushing around to the other side.
Abby's old address in mind he twisted the key and started her up. Stomach churning as he broke speed limits and ran lights.

the next morning
Somehow, Yuu and Grim actually got some rest. Too bad Crowley didn't think to warn the rest of the staff about the wayward youth.
Crewel went to the infirmary early to make sure the potions were fully stocked. The professor was surprised to see a student already there.
His presence wakes Yuu up, which in turn wakes up Grim. The pair got roughly five hours of sleep. Not too bad, all things considered. Still not great.
True to his name, Crewel shows no mercy and doesn't hesitate to reprimand what appears to be an aspiring troublemaker.
Couldn't they have waited at least a day before getting into trouble?
The duo just kinda watches in a sleepy haze.
“What are you doing here?”
“I should be asking you that, pup.”
“Huh?”
“Not even a full day and you're already in the infirmary!”
“Huh?”
Crewel doesn't know it, but he just met the most troublesome students to grace the halls of NRC.
Meanwhile Crowely has been working harder than he had in over a decade. A new type of monster had been popping up all over Twisted Wonderland, and the first real lead on their origin had just appeared in HIS school.
How troublesome.
Dire Crowely, being the responsible man that he is, decided the best course of action would be to call for a meeting of his most reliable staff to see if there is any way he could dump this mess on someone else, delegate the responsibilities that will be gained once the child's origin comes to light. Because as much as he wished to keep his school secluded and away from prying eyes, the new breed of monsters could not be handled alone.
Intent on retrieving Yuu for the upcoming staff meeting, Crowely enters the infirmary and sees Crewel is also there. How convenient.
Crowely dragged Yuu and Crewel away. Grim isn't interested in a boring meeting, but when the headmaster tells him to stay put Grim complains.
Why wouldn't you want the Great Grim?!
Crowely waves him off, saying it’s confidential.
Paths diverge, Yuu with the staff and Grim, unsupervised.
