Don't let their innocent eyes fool you, they'll rob you blind and steal your liquor before you can blink

Jason dies, but finds himself stuck sharing a body with Tim. Initially, Jason is a bit weak and very traumatized from his death. He spends a lot of the time "sleeping."

Both are able to take control of the body, but direct control is only granted to one person at a time. Senses (touch, taste, sight, hearing, smell) can be shared.

They want to figure out how to get Jason his own body, even if it isn't his original one. Little do they know that his body is running around the LoA w/o a consciousness.

There are two fun avenues to consider: Jason accompanying Tim becoming Robin, or Jason and Tim trying to figure everything out on their own.

Tons of angst and comfort packed into this AU (especially considering Bruce calling Tim 'Jason' not knowing it really *is* Jason staring back at him through Tim's eyes).

I really think there can be a evil Sage without it being Rorschach-lite who has Other Things going on with him that Vic wouldn't have?? He'd still be total ass, but in a different font.

I know the vain evil news guy is pretty played out but keeping the self awareness and "big boy pants" energy Vic normally has adds more flavor. Like, he's completely aware and just does worse and worse because he wants to? Because it's fun?

The rocky feeling between him and Myra is definitely kicked up a notch, I've been thinkng off him as a "girl dad" (derogatory) Especially as in my timeline it'd be after The Question Returns. The fact she moves on is deserved (he literally just abandoned ship for 3yrs we don't see?) and I love the drama of getting with another guy just for your old situationship to show up wanting to be a stepdad. Evil co-parenting basically

Also, Jackie lives in this universe because I will NOT fridge her and give her this panel before the narrative erases her like- this is CRAZY work wtf

Instead of landing in Kansas, Kal-El's ship instead lands in Gotham. Specifically, it ends up in the cave underneath Wayne Manor. Thomas and Martha Wayne discover the baby Kryptonian and decide to raise him as their own alongside their biological son, Bruce.

The alien baby was given the name Clark Wayne, living a happy life with his family and getting into a brotherly rivalry with Bruce.

One day, after finishing a movie, the four Wayne's took a shortcut through Crime Alley, only to be accosted by a mugger! Before anyone could react, Clark bravely (and quite literally) flew at the criminal, sending him flying down the alley with a single punch!

After his defeat and his ship destroyed, Braniac transferred his consciousness to a head of one of his drones that Superman decided to keep.

Braniac would wait for the right moment until he transferred his consciousness to one of Superman's robots. He would pretend to do his task for months while conspiring on building a new stronger body for himself. He would find a untouched corner of the fortress and decided to build his body there.

Once completed and the transfer successful, Braniac decided to take his collection back from the Kryptonian. Only to find the bottled cities weren't anywhere in the fortress. He later learned that the cities were transferred to the Hall of Justice where Ray Palmer helps Superman to figure out how to unshrink them.
