  Summary

  Lois Lane knows her husband wants his ears pierced. This poses some challenges given that her husband is Superman. Then she realizes, her sort-of stepson (brother-in-law? Unclear) has all kinds of piercings, and who does he know well enough to let near him with a kryptonite needle?

  Tim Drake, that’s who.

  Summary

  Hal Jordan is not a detective, and unfortunately his usual consultants are busy. Lois sends him to one of the batkids, which given his history with the bat and the two kids he’s met before, is not the best idea, but if it’s not tall, dark, and spooky himself, he’ll take his chances.

  Summary

  “But, Tim, you’re going to die doing this, you’re going to die in that stupid costume.”

  “And do you know just how many people I will have helped save?” Tim snapped back. “Because I don’t think you quite understand the scope of this, Dad.” The last word was hissed with the venom it deserved.

  Jack blinked. “Excuse me?”
