Summary
“A meeting,” Tony doesn’t even bother to hide his incredulity.
“Yes.”
“With the Galactic Empire,” he attempts to lighten his own mood with the joke, but the response he gets from Ross makes the blood freeze in his veins.
“They call themselves the Unitary Galactic Communia, actually.”
If Tony lets his silence speak for itself, it’s only partially because his throat is closing up on him at an alarming rate.
“I know it sounds bad at first—“
“Oh no no no, not at all,” Tony interjects quickly, “this is wonderful news. A communia. A unitary one. Sounds very… organized. They must be people who know how to keep an army. Of galactic proportions. This is great, really. Not debilitatingly frightening in the least.”
...
Alternatively: the freshly pardoned Rogues have complaints, Tony is dead on his feet, and Steve has issues with the handsome alien lord who keeps offering Stark the literal universe.- Language:

Summary
When Project Rebirth fails, leaving the super-soldier serum inert in his veins, Steve Rogers is forced to bid goodbye to his dream of defending his country -- at least, in the way he'd always envisioned it. But his prospects in that regard aren't entirely bleak: he takes a job as chronicler for Tony Stark, the former Marvels adventurer who now serves his country in his typical unorthodox style, hunting down mystical relics before the Nazis can find them. At Tony's side in the jungles of Peru, Steve discovers that the serum works after all -- but it works in ways he could never have imagined.

There are no children left in Gotham.
Not until the multiverse spits one out right in front of Batman, at least.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Sometimes I wonder just how bad the League fucked up B. I mean, they did train him; he has to, in a sense, think like them. He understands their world view, sad as that sounds. They take ‘em young. So does B, if you think about it.”
Jason made a face. That little parallel hadn’t occurred to him and yet here he was, too young for sex (ha!), too young to smoke (double ha! Though the intensity of his training had cut that habit back to zilch since he needed every inch of lung capacity to survive gaining his level of fitness) and too young to drink (yeah, Jason’s not admitting to anything there) but still old enough to take on guys with guns, walk murder scenes and profile serial killers. For all his distaste for what the League stood for, Bruce was still, in a sense, indoctrinated to their ways.
“They taught him to view the world like it has nothing but enemies,” Dick sighed. “Usually he logics his way out of that mess, but it does take him a minute.
