[Western Crossover] All-Nighter Buddy Simulator

*Reader's Guide* 1. Set in the Wayne Family Adventures universe, with a happy family atmosphere. The Birds all get along great! The Bats actually communicate, too! It's all small-time squabbling, and nobody ever gets hurt in this world! 2. There are some mild cosmic horror elements. 3. It includes FGO elements, but I'm not a hardcore Moon fan. Feel free to point out any setting errors. 4. Pairing: the Little Red Bird. [There will be a little Superbat content, but no other side pairings.] The whole story is free. A sweet, slice-of-life romance. No dramatic battles of wits, so please don't expect any. It's free, so cut me some slack. The heart of the story is Birds cuddling. I love Birds cuddling. [Blurb ↓] Shake, shake. Nearby users have been displayed. Pulling an all-nighter to finish his assignments and feeling lonely, Painter uses his phone to randomly pick a stranger to keep him company. Don't ask. He's a Gothamite, bold and skilled enough to take the risk. Later, he discovers that he has a remarkably high chance of running into Gotham's vigilantes. Bats randomly appear nearby when he goes out at night. A little red bird with brightly colored feathers also frequently lands on his balcony. His all-nighter buddy is busy, vanishing during the day and often going silent at night, only showing up in the dead of the early morning. But Painter doesn't mind. He just wants someone to chat with in the middle of the night. This distance is just right. After returning to Gotham, Painter thinks he'll graduate without a hitch, get a job at a game studio as a junior artist, and take on commissions in his spare time. Then he'll live a carefree life. But life in Gotham is never destined to be dull. His cat gets him recruited into the force, and his balcony becomes the little red bird's exclusive migratory-bird stopover. There are also evil nocturnal raptors lurking in the shadows, trying to spice up his life. Gotham really is a city blessed with outstanding people and rich local spirit. Every day brings something new. But that's all right. The cat will protect you. Theme: Why should people fear heroes?
