[Western Crossover] A Pet Claw, but a Wayne Loyalist

Aylowen is a not-so-bright Wayne superfan who is always half a beat behind and moonlights as a medium. As a Talon, his job at night is to give a couple of hard punches to idiots who badmouth Wayne, then stick colorful chicken feathers all over their heads.

Bruce says Batman is a weirdo.

Aylowen goes looking for trouble with Batman, though eight times out of ten it doesn't go very well.

Then a kid named Richard Grayson arrives at Wayne Manor, bouncing around and being adorable.

Batman gets himself a colorful little-shorts sidekick too, zipping and flipping about with exceptional agility.

After another Gotham tabloid story riles him up and sends him after Batman, intent on sticking chicken feathers to Batman's cowl, Batman reveals the face beneath his mask.

Aylowen: Do not disturb. CPU overheating.

PS: This is a no-romance story, and the timeline is chaotic.

PPS: This Batman is more willing to speak up, with a classic-era Batman vibe!

And here's a preview of my next story! It launches in August!

Can I Live at Your Place?

Eliot is a snake with glossy black scales, a red chin, and a body and weight far larger than those of other snakes.

So who the hell took it from the warm, dry pine forest and brought it to this damp human city?

The snake has a headache. The snake feels like it's going to get moldy. The snake decides to find a new home.

Hey, Red Date Head, can I live at your place?

Hello, Green Algae Head, can I live at your place?

Wow, I met my green-eyed angel, and he asked if I wanted to go home with him!

Red Hood comes home after a busy day and finds something nasty in his house, only to come face to face with a gigantic snake coiled into a long shape behind the door.

Red Hood: What the hell is that thing!

The Joker gets to come out for some fresh air for the first time in ages. He brings little Harley along to annoy Batman, but before he can say a word, something drops from the sky and knocks him out.

Something nasty got into the hideout!

Batman discovers that the escaped Joker and Harley Quinn have been knocked unconscious by an unknown animal, with several broken bones, and prepares to investigate.

But just then, his son, his Robin, brings home a huge eastern indigo snake.

Damian strokes the snake's head. "Father, I want to keep this."

Batman: ...NO!

PS: The order in which the snake looks for a home differs somewhat from the blurb.

Theme: Learn to cherish and love, and you'll discover you can do anything
