Bruce Wayne
To watch the way that Bruce takes defined repose amongst the gargoyles that delineate the upper echelons of the skyscraper they all cling to: he is magnificent.
Domineering in posture, intimidating in mien, with chiseled jaw and defined anatomy that has been gained through lifetime of hard-earned work.
âFearless leader,â Dick says from besides him in calm recline on the edge. How very languorous he appears as he sways one leg over the ledgeâdeath-defying heights have been old hat for him for some time now.
Bruce doesnât respond. But Dick has accrued excellent skill to comprehend the hieroglyphics of his body language. So Dick continues into the silence subtly undercut by the ambience of a world teeming with life and soft-suffused light below, bathed in the chill of an unending night.
âThinkinâ about hittinâ the hay anytime soon?â He asksâDick has been none-too-subtle about eyeing the clock tower that looms in towering monolith within eyesight across the city skyline. The very one that determines that the time is closer to three than he would appreciate.
âWeâve only done one sweep of the city,â Bruce answers in rather unyielding, characteristic fashion. âItâs not sunrise yet.â
Dick knows better than to voice his opinion on that observation. So, perhaps it is divine providence that the chime of a familiar intercom beeps in the confines of Bruceâs cowl.
Itâs a noise that Dick knows as well as he does the pulse of his own heartbeat shuttering in the real estate of his ribsâBruce even more by intimate degrees.
It means that youâre calling. Dick provides excellent imitation of the gargoyle sitting besides him as he does his best to pretend he isnât desperately eavesdropping on the muted din of your voice on the other end. Bruce raises the trigger finger to his ear that allows the dam to come cresting through.
âBruce, itâs too late. You need to come home.â Dick strains to hear the dulcet tones of your voice in saccharine delivery. You arenât mad: yet.
âWeâve finished one circuit of the downtown district,â Bruce returns in low timbre. But Dick knows the precarious thin ice that he operates uponâand knows what to expect from you in reply.
âBruce, Iâve been tracking yours and Dickâs location for the past four hours. You two have been as thorough as you possibly can.â Thereâs a nuance of steel that is communicated in the advance of your argument, something lost in the patience you speak cadence with.
Bruce is no more than marble etching upon the ledge. Dick pretends that the loose thread on his glove is far more interesting than whatever is being spoken with soft threat into the shell of Bruceâs ear.
âJace and Cass will be going out in half an hourâthey donât need you to double up with them.â Your voice speaks with logical reasoning, without erring in pico-decibel: you donât need to assert volume of tone when your argument holds water to his.
Bruceâs voice does not err in retortâbut there is a weakening as he replies. âItâs been a quieter night than most.â
Dick has to press the heel of his palm into his mouth and pantomime a sneeze.
âIâve been waiting for you to come home. I donât want to go to sleep in an empty bed, Bruce.â Comes a reply that is more plaintive in plea: the final death-strokeâappealing to a manâs empathy.
And surely not even the Bat is infallible to his spouse making plea for his presence in warming their marital bed.
Dick holds his breath. The silence makes endured duration measured in the gravity that it settles on his shoulders, his heartbeat.
âWeâll be back in fifteen minutes.â Bruce says in that infallible voice. But Dick knows a beaten man when he sees one.
âYou better be. Iâm not going to fall asleep waiting for you.â Loving but bearing an undercurrent of aggression waiting to be tested. The line crackles with a quiet burst of static and Bruce is left standing, regarding the city skyline he has spent a lifetime protecting.
âLetâs go back,â He tells Dick with the monotony that one resigned to their fate does. Dick tries his best to conceal his smile and fails miserably.
âThought we were staying out later,â Dick responds, to which he receives a scowl akin to the glacial shelf splintering for his troubles. He can wade further in dangerous waters than others can: but even so, thereâs only one person who can go for a swim in them.
And Dick knows that that person is at home, curled up in the office chair in the Cave, waiting for their husband to come back to them. They should all be so lucky.
Lobo
No one else understands, truly. Itâs an odd thing, to see you, dwarfed nearly double in the way that he towers over you. Itâs not that he operates with gentility around you, nor that he is of more gentlemanly, chivalrous quality. But he is, for lack of better wordâtolerable.
Much as he is with you seated on the spread of those massive thighs, scratching the barrel of his revolver idly against the stubble of his jaw. Watching the league who views him with open disdain as he runs idle finger down the meter of your shoulder.
âSo who you want fragged?â Lobo asks, working his thumb into the nuance of your skin, a self-soothing motion that you lean into. How very like a doll you look, seated upon him like some trophy of past hunt.
Clark sighs silently through his nose, using the remainder of his patience to proceed. âNot fragged, captured.â
Lobo makes a shrug that lifts you with the flex of that great muscle that youâve taken residence upon, a note of indifference carried in his grunt. âSame difference. Money spends all the same.â
Diana decides to take the torch for Clark on this one, crossing her arms over the span of her chest. âYouâre getting immunity for this one. Not money.â
Itâs here the bear is successfully pokedâLobo rears forward with subdued outrage spelled on his lips. His hand tucks around you to keep you stable as he takes advancement towards the League.
âImmunity?â He spits out the word like the anathema that he views it to be. âThought the credits were part of the deal.â
Itâs clear that something is burgeoning if someone doesnât make mollifying statement. And this is where you come in, turning topside to rub a hand on the underside of his jaw, your voice drawing through the miasma of fury roiling on the horizon.
âBut if youâre pardonedâââYou make defense for the point, your words level, unhurried.
To Clarkâs surprise, Lobo seems to deflate in tick of shoulders as he takes reckoning of your wordsâââNo one can do a thing until you make another crime. So you get a grace period, honey.â
Lobo weighs the gravity of your argument, considering the virtue of this. Letting reasoning weigh out over knee-jerk reaction. And then: he settles, letting the heft of his body, and you with it, angle back into recline.
âHmmmm. Alright.â He amends his mood after great interval of thought. His hand works into your cheek, worrying at the sink of the skin to let himself reintroduce his touch to your body.
âSo, uh, whenâs that go into effect?â Lobo asks through his teeth.
Clark recovers. âOnce you bring back the prisoner.â
âYeah.â Lobo nods in affirmative; a slick grin crosses his mouth. âIt matter if theyâre missing a limb or two?â
You take point on this one, piping up with careful directive. âProbably does, honey.â
âAhhh. You justice league fucks are boring.â Loboâs head rolls on broken swivel as he flexes the tendons of that column of neck.
âWhateverâââHe rises to his feet, not even seeing necessity to let you be relegated to the ground. Up you go in princess carry, one-handed, with such ease and such comfortâyouâre exactly where you want to be. Where he wants you to be.
âSee you idiots in a few days.â Lobo makes by means of farewellâand departs with you in tow, smiling with cheerful wave goodbye. No one exhales in relief until you both are gone.
It's probably for the best that he always brings you along on these little social calls.
Miguel OâHara
Miguel stands before the obelisk of information relayed in millisecondsâa flurry of realities that have yet to be comprehended by any but he.
The vortex of information so vast and multitudinous but his to perceive alone, made easier in the translation by the time that heâs spent in the delugeâhis to command. His to protect. His to control.
The hours are demarcated by the noise that ebbs and flows from distant hallways. They indicate the patrols that have returned from missions he has organized, rescues he has arranged, acceptances that he has dedicated to the roster.
All his to make mastery over: but still nothing is perfect. Nothing must be left unattended so long as an iota of detail is left out of place.
âHow long has it been since youâve eaten?â Comes a voice so dedicated to the sanctity of his memory he can conjure conversations without needing hear the source. He keeps his eyes trained on a strain of information so fluted in passage that he delays response to better decipher it.
âMiguel,â You warnâhe is working your patience. Itâs something that you permit to a point, which necessitates that he must speak. And in providing an answer, he becomes aware of his other faculties returning to him.
The scent of your body which is his alone to taste. The shudder of breath returning to you in normal meter, disrupted in homeostasis by the mission he directed you to. The smell of fresh, baked dough that barely restrains the fresh aroma of meat.
âI donât need to eat,â Miguel returns in passive response, which is answer enough. He continues to scroll through screens that dictate avenues yet unexplored.
And a hand that he has felt on every inch of his body makes slow, unhurried journey up the slope of his arm, searching for the Miguel that shares a bed with you. The Miguel that knows you deserve more than dismissive shoulder.
This is why he turns the arc of his gaze away from the screen, so that radiant afterimage winks in his vision, framing you in beatific display of light. Marking you as the heavenly body he does not deserve, come bearing gifts to his humble altar.
âYou need to eat,â You offer in determined gentilityâand because he has made mistake of directing his body to you, making himself exposedâyou go in advancing offense.
He does nothing to stop the journey of your hallowed form into his lap, the muscle of your thighs working around the great span of his.
You are a shape that he takes into detailed worship on instinct; the rough underside of his hands navigating down the flush of your hips. His broad fingers clenching in proprietary nature: you are his and it is uncontested even by you, who works yourself against the plateau of his chest.
But he cannot claim the privilege of your mouth slotted against his. Not until he acknowledges what you press with the encroach of your knuckles against him. His eyes dare briefest of glances to what lies in your hand on unassuming plate.
âPupusas?â He asks in inquiry. His brow is moved in inquisitive arc, and you smile.
âSo you do have object permanence,â You joke in manner only you may do so. He accepts your gift without removing the press of his stare from you. The other hand he works around your waist compensates for what he must sacrifice.
âHow else would I keep you in here?â He asksâand here carries multitudes, as does everything for him. In work, in collegial bearingsâin the twisted sheets he keeps you pleased in. You finally reward him with a genuine grin.
âYou donât need to try,â You reassure him of a truth he always needs to hear again. âBut you do need to eat.â
Your arms work around the impressive schooling of those shoulders that are less-resistant by degrees to your touch. Your forehead presses against his as he drinks in appraisal of you like a starved man.
âSo eat, Miguel,â You order him, âThen you can have the main course later.â
And he becomes poignantly aware of the pulse that thrums in the column of your neck: his as well. And because Miguel knows the exchange of quid pro quo: for you alone, he obeys.
Wade Wilson
Logan uses the operative term âhandler',â while Cable has adopted the phrase âcaretaker.â Itâs of assumption that either would be excellent term to explain the categorization of your relationship. But it always comes into excellent demonstration whenever the two of you are tasked into collaborating with other people.
Though perhaps Peter would better describe this as âfoisted into unnecessary circumstances.â After all, he needs a sharpshooter, and he needs backup. And this is where the two of you come in.
âArenât they, just like,â Wade says as he takes near perch on Peterâs elbow, overwhelmed with ebullient glee, âJust so cool when they post up like that?â
Peter would agree if it wasnât perhaps the approximate 84738292nd time that he had seen you knelt over the ledge, sniper rifle held in the firm housing of your arms. Watched the way that your eye squinted into scope that perhaps was not even necessary, save for reassurance for Peterâs sake.
âYes, Wade,â Peter agrees in rather resigned notion, âThey are.â
âJust you wait, Spider-Manling,â Wade coos into Peterâs ear, mask doing little to disguise the spittle that is currently splattered on the interior of his cowl, âOne day youâll get to wear the big boy pants and have a partner like mine.â
âUh-huh, Wade,â Peter says. The friendly neighborhood Spider-Man considers how long it would take for Wade to dissolve the webbing if he pinned him to the concrete ground right now. âI can only hope.â
âJust make sure they have some type of survival skill on hand,â Wade chirrups with oblivious devotion, âWouldnât want them to be a liability in the old cape-crusading endeavorsââ
Peter doesnât usually weigh the virtue of manslaughter, but thankfully, this is where you speak up. The diction of your voice is both restrained and layered in a patience that seems near effortlessâand with nary a degree of vexation.
âLeave the nice spiderling alone, Wade,â you direct as you trail the barrel of the rifle in refined arc, âAnd come over here and rub my shoulders.â
âYour wish is my command, my liege,â Wade instantly releases Peter from the crushing grip of what he qualifies as embrace. Itâs almost as if there is cartoonish silhouette of smoke where a Deadpool once stood.
He crouches behind you with such diligent airs, fingers pirouetting as he warms up for the attackâand slides Peter a conspiratorial look that Peter perhaps wishes he couldâve gone without.
âThatâs my sniper main,â Wade croons, working his knuckles into the slope of your shoulders, âGonna tranq the baddies Spider-Man needs you to bag, youâre so coolââ
âJust like my man,â you say back without any errant disruption of your expressionâbut the sincerity layered in your voice is without question. Peter can only marvel as Wade makes rather coquettish giggle, and continues to make diligent craft of massage into the seized knots of your shoulders.
âI donât get it,â Peter mutters. But he staresâand admires the besotted Wade Wilsonâall the same.
