Superfreaks

as a lifelong marvel fan I was very pleasantly surprised when I started reading dc comics bc even killing criminals is considered wrong!! marvel superheroes celebrate when they kill “the bad guy”

"What if I just bite him?" Bruce asked, leaning forward.

Ra's paused in his demonstration. "Bite him?"

"Yeah. Like, right on the wrist. Where it's poking out of his sleeve."

Ra's stared at his demonstration partner, eyeing the sliver of skin poking out of his sleeve. And now that he was thinking about it...

"I suppose you could, yes."

"But it would leave DNA," Bruce said, immediately dismissing the merits of his own suggestion. He shook his head. "You're right, the twist would be faster. Never mind."

The twist would not, in all honesty, be faster. When Ra's looked back down, his demonstration partner -- barely older than Bruce himself -- was staring at his teeth warily.

"But if I bit hard enough," Bruce said suddenly, returning to his previous line of thought. "Maybe he'd bleed so much that the DNA wouldn't matter."

Ra's felt a particular shiver work its way up his spine, something that felt old and reminiscent of Bruce's beloved rotten city. It wasn't quite bloodlust that he had shining in his luminously blue eyes, but it was certainly close.

People need hope. Look up.
