"I know you." Harry bit his lip and stared at Marcone across the living room. Hendricks sat between the two of them, watching Harry closely. Gard and Murphy were outside, contacting Monoc. Michael had taken Charity and the children over to her mothers' home. He, Charity and Molly would be back as soon as they had the younger ones settled in.

"Yes, you do."

"You uh-" Harry frowned and it was clear he was trying to put together some random bits of thought. "There was a wolf. Or sort of a wolf. Huge. Bigger than Mouse, even. And you- you were kind of cool." The young man blushed and looked away.

"Thank you, Harry." Marcone smiled at him. "You did fairly well yourself, that night."

"Well, yeah. But I'm a wizard. You're like...Batman."

Marcone wasn't sure how he would have responded to that. He'd had the thought before, of course, in some loopy moments after fights but no one had ever said it out loud. Luckily, he didn't have to respond, as that was the moment the house was attacked.

There was a deep well of silence, as though all sound was sucked away and then everything rushed back in, an explosion of color, light and sound that had physical force. Windows shattered, splinters of glass flying everywhere and Marcone dove for Harry, trying to protect the boy. Hendricks beat him to it, dragging both Harry and Marcone down to the floor, shielding them.

When the noise stopped, Hendricks waited a second and rose, patting down Marcone quickly, checking for wounds as the man tried to wave him off.

"I'm fine. I'm fine. Check Harry." Hendricks shifted his attention to the boy. Harry had already risen from the floor and was running toward the front of the house.

"Dammit." Marcone pushed off the floor in one smooth move and ran after him, catching him in the hallway. "Stay back!"

"Murphy's out there!" Harry tugged, realized Marcone had a good grip on him and threw his hand out at Marcone, yelling "Forzare!" as he did. The magic caught him, swatted at him like a giant hand and sent him skittering into the far wall behind him.

Marcone's head spun nauseatingly but he staggered back to his feet, snarling. Harry wasn't any smarter as a child than he was as an adult. He followed Hendricks' quickly moving form down the hall and out into the front yard.

Silence, broken only faintly by shouts from near by neighbors and the tiny wail of sirens. Hendricks was crouched over Gard's still form, checking her pulse. Murphy was several feet away, pulling herself up against a tree. Mouse was nosing her, growling and whining. Marcone could see the dog was bleeding, favoring one leg as he tried to help the woman up. The yard was a ruin, what wasn't still smouldering was black and twisted, chunks of earth ripped from the ground.

There was no sign of Harry.

Oh gods.

If you could, like, write another chapter today I'd be so happy.
Your story has me refreshing non stop.

LOVE IT!

Harry wasn't any smarter as a child than he was as an adult.

Oh Harry..You never change do you?
Sqee!! This story is so awesome!!! MOre pls!!!

Oh Harry..You never change do you?

Nope. Stupidly thorough sense of honor and a complex about women a mile wide.

:D

Sorry. I think one chapter a day is kind of my limit.

i'm writing it at work, so, y'know, sneaking around...

Yes! Marcone is so like Batman! Even kid!Harry knows it (btw the blushing was cute).

Hmm, Harry recognizes Marcone...or his soul at least...? :D

Marcone is totally Batman. Everyone just needs to acknowledge that fact. :D

And Harry would be the Green Lantern. Not that I've thought about this at all.

:D It's my shipper showing. I can't help it.

And Hendricks is either Alfred or Robin. *ponders Gard* (WAIT! Maybe Amanda(is that her name? The poor girl in coma?)=Oracle or some other Batgirl? :D)

Which Green Lantern? Hal, Guy, or another one?

'cause depending on the answer.... I might be going 'LOL! That the Lantern Batman punched. :D'

Hendricks would be Alfred. Gard can be Robin. Hey, we've had a blond, female Robin at least twice if you count Elseworlds, so it works.

Amanda can be Oracle, yes. :D

Hmm...I hadn't actually picked *a* GL for Harry. I was just thinking more along the powers matching up thing. But I'd say maybe Hal or Kyle. Definitely not Guy, sorry. :D *lol*

*nod* That works for me. :D (any idea who could be Joker? I was thinking a Fae, but Joker is a normal like Batman.)

Maybe most of the Wizards will be part of all of the Lantern Corps?

*nod* Gotcha. ...oh! OH! I know who could be Guy! Morgan! :D

What was the name of the guy who Marcone removed...Vargassi? His son could be the Joker. Since he was the one who shot Amanda, trying to get Marcone. And that works with the Oracle angle, too. :)

White Council of Wizards as the GL Corps? Sure!

*rofl* Oh my, yes! YES! Marcone punching Morgan out with One Punch!

Marco, I think is the son's name. *will have to look that up* And yeah, he works well. :D

...Wait, will this Marcone have Batman's 'rule' about not killing people? or no, he just has the Children Rule?

*nod* That White Council and GL Corps both have done things that make you want to punch them. So... works pretty well. (Black Council clearly is Black Corps.)

*ponders the rest of the Color Corps*

~~...pfft, goddammit. I'm going to have to write something for this.~~

*grins* Indeed, indeed! (Harry will laugh at Morgan later when he finds out.)

Nah. Originally, Batman carried a gun. And we've had a couple Batmen who were more than willing to kill. So I say the 'no killing' rule can be done away with.

The GL Corps works so well for this!

I'm writing something for this.

There. I fixed that sentence for you! :D

That will be a story told for YEARS to come! One. Punch. :DDDDD

Okay! ...Which means Marco/whateverhisname could possible deader than dead. But that okay! There always another Villains. :D

Okay. Either Justin or Eb is the Leader of the Yellow Corps. (pfft. Maybe White Court Vampires are Star Sapphire Corps. ...who greedy enough for Orange? *has no idea for the rest*)

And then there is the Faerie and The Knights of the Cross...

Nick is Ra's Al-Ghul...I think.

*pause and wonders who Ivy and Kincaid will be*

Alright, alright. Where should I post it after I'm done?

Sadly for Morgan. :P ...now should Harry meet Marcone before then or after the One Punch. *ponder*

:quietly points out that in Storm Front it's Harry who takes Morgan out with one punch:

Technically, he did not. He punched him, but did not take him out. Later on, he hit him with a chair, repeatedly.

The One Punch take down is exactly what it says on the tin. One Punch, Guy Gardner on the floor, cold. Batman is still the godsdamned Batman. :)

Also, if Marcone is to be Batman, he is contractually obligated to be a bigger badass than the superpowered guy annoying him. Hence the One Punch. :D

Ah, but the Joker is slick and clever. So even with MarconeBatman's 'hell yes I'll kill 'em!' attitude, he could still be running around. Or, as you say, there are plenty of villains in the world!

I'll have to think about the others...who could be the Fae...

Michael = Superman. I mean, come on?

Nic *definitely* is Ra's. And Ra's is awesome. *hugs her fave Bat-villain*

Mmmm...Ivy could be...Dr. Fate? And Kincaid can be Martian Manhunter. IDK.

Harry should know Morgan, and loathe him before the One Punch, imho. And then Marcone meets Morgan, One Punch's him, and Harry finds out. And lol's forever.

And then he and Marcone have adventures together. With occasional sex.

Well, you could post it here, which is the first Batman/DF fusion request I stumbled onto in my search, though I swear there've been others:

Or, there's the Open Prompt post:

There's another Batman prompt here:

http://scribe-protra.dreamwidth.org/306.html?thread=204338#cmt204338

Thanks! I *knew* I'd seen another one around somewhere!

See, you're spoiled for posting choice, renuki!

Very good point about the Joker. *debates* (pftt, I probably will let Marco!Joker live. Why should I end his fun so soon? *evil grin*)

Michael = Superman. I mean, come on?

That works! *ponders who Lex will be*

Thank ye for the links.

*shrug* That works for me. Unless I can think of something better for them.

(Hey, did we decide who Murphy is? 'cause she will make a good Wonder Woman, I think.)

Actually, I was talking about Marcone when I wonder if Harry met him before or after the One Punch. I should have been more clear.

We didn't talk about Murph, but of course she'd be Wonder Woman. :D

Ohhhh...okay. Actually, it might be fun to have Harry meet Marcone after the One Punch. Fanboying begins after that, you know...

*nod*

The idea of a Harry actually fanboying on a Marcone is hilarious and awesome.

Oh, something that just cross my mind.

Is John Marcone his 'hero' name or civilian's name(if this, does he use the name Batman or...?)?

And should this Chicago(at least that where I'm guessing Marcone would be at.) be as fucked up as Gotham City? or should it actually BE Gotham City?

FFFF. The thought of Marco!Joker having the control of the mafia just cross my mind. D: *try not to whimper*

Ya know... I bet one of the reason Harry knows of Marcone might be because of the Soulgaze that happen between them.

And yes, little Harry. Marcone is Batman as a mafia. :D

...OH NO!

*starts to swear*

On another note: Whoever kidnap Harry is going to regret it! ...I hope.

What've I told you about being clever? Huh?

;D

Whoever kidnap Harry is going to regret it! ...I hope.

Pht. Nobody is going to let this stand. Especially since he was sort of kidnapped out from under Marcone's nose. He does not approve of this!

That I shouldn't be so clever, but I can't help it? :P

*thinks*

And Harry is a kid right now too... *starts cackling evilly*
