Summary
Damian Wayne and Jonathan Samuel Kent are approaching that young but important monument in their adolescent lives. The future dynamic duo is finally old enough to be part of a real superhero team like Young Justice, or the Titans, or maybe even the Justice League! Well... At least they thought they were since they planned to join one together, but the more they think about it, the less appealing it sounds. The two don’t want to be defined as the sons of someone super.
The only solution is to start their own superhero team! Fighting bad guys is no problem, but figuring out a public image, interpersonal issues, equipment maintenance, transportation, politics, financial control, and time management are an entirely different story. When did being a hero get so complicated?

Summary
When the Buckleys have finally had enough of their son acting out for attention, they ship him off to a relative's El Paso ranch to force him to shape up. Buck knows he just needs to keep his head down until he can convince them to let him come home, but working on the ranch to earn his room and board is not at all what he expected.
Eddie's used to being the new kid thanks to his dad's work making them move so much when he was younger. That's totally the only reason he immediately has a soft spot for the new guy who had to transfer all the way across the country for his senior year. But it quickly becomes apparent that something is very wrong with Buck.

Summary
Eddie shifts his weight a few times. “What does that mean?”
This could go a lot of ways. If this is Buckley, and Eddie’s pretty sure it is, it could lead to him hanging this over his head, trying to get sex out of it, and honestly – Eddie’s slept with people for less. And Eddie could do, has done, a lot worse.
He would hate being strong-armed into sex, but he’s been strong-armed into it before, and this guy, well, it’s not like he hasn’t thought about it.
“Um,” is all the answer Eddie gets.
And then there’s this meandering, endless pause, where the guy stands there and just… stares at him. Eddie can’t decide if it’s awkward or if they are slipping back into creepy. “What’s with the staring?”
“Sorry!” Sleeves immediately jerks his eyes away, then scratches the back of his head before he looks back at Eddie and snaps away again. “It’s just – uh, it’s weird, seeing you, um, without the…”
Eddie raises an eyebrow. “Handcuffs?”
OR
Eddie works at a strip club, and Buck's a very frequent customer.
