Fics like Where the Birds Used to Sing

“You’re the Batman,” Clark said, trying to keep his voice warm, even. “I’ve heard about you.” Still no response. The wings shifted slightly, the sound low and dry, like wind moving through bone. Even folded, they loomed. Easily twelve, maybe fourteen feet in total wingspan. The joints flexed with subtle micromovements, like the Bat was resisting the urge to spring forward or flee. And the texture… rough, almost scaly, with no sign of feathers. All tendon and membrane. Like something prehistoric. Clark felt a shiver crawl down his spine. It wasn’t fear. Not exactly. “I’ve been looking for you,” he said, taking a cautious step forward, hands open at his sides. “Not you you, I mean. Others like me. Metas. People doing the right thing on their own terms.” No answer. “I thought you’d be taller,” he added, offering a small grin. Nothing. Not even a twitch. “Or… less grim.” Or, Bruce's time over the years, gaining children, loosing them, joining the JL, all while the JL is under the impression that the man in the batsuit is some sort of cryptid.
