Western Crossover: I Cosplayed Homelander but Became an Auxiliary Vigilante

Azu, an anime fan, cosplays as Homelander at a convention. Before he even gets a chance to admire the gear he built himself, he’s transported to the DC universe and ordered by the System to play Homelander.

Azu: Thanks for asking. I’m in Gotham, just got here. But I’m not interested in getting my head bashed in. I’m here to make money.

He diligently applies for a job at Wayne Enterprises. By day, he works as a tech specialist for his boss, Bruce. By night, he puts on Homelander’s uniform to deliver intel to Batman, and casually asks if Batman needs a godson.

Watching his performance bar slowly climb, Azu nods with satisfaction.

Gotham’s Dark Knight has been rather perplexed lately.

His new subordinate in his other identity may like to play dumb, but he’s clearly a genius of a technical consultant. At night, he turns into a man dressed in the flag, who looks a lot like a Kryptonian.

And every night, he shows up right on time along Batman’s patrol route, leaving him notes.

[Dear Mr. Batman, there’s an arms deal at the docks tonight. Coordinates attached. No need to thank me. P.S. You look great when you fight.]

[The Penguin was up to something again today. I kept an eye on him for you. By the way, are you really sure you don’t want a godson? One with a PhD who can build gadgets and fly?]

Batman: …Is this harassment?

Alfred: Sir, his intel has saved you three nights of surveillance.

Batman: …

Much later, Azu finally discovers that Bruce and Batman are the same person.

Azu remembers telling Batman that his boss was “nothing but rich and good-looking,” and telling his boss that Batman was the one who “really understood the darkness.”

Azu: ?

Can I ask for a do-over?

[Extra scene]

Bruce: You said you wanted to call me something else. Have you decided what?

Azu: I have, boss.

Bruce: …

Azu: Sugar daddy!

Bruce: Try again.

Azu: Bruce.

Bruce: Yeah?

Azu: Bruce, Bruce, Bruce.

Bruce: How many times are you going to say it?

Azu: I’ve been saving them up for six months. Let me have this.

CP: Batman, very loudly.

1. I’m using my own timeline, and there’ll be some dark humor.

2. This is a standalone story. You don’t need to have read the comics or seen the movies to enjoy it.

3. I hope you have a great time reading!

Coming next: [Western Crossover] No One Can Stop Me from Dating Reverse-Order Damian!

Damian thinks the new transfer student is a lunatic.

One day, after finishing a mission, Robin is holding a tightly bound Joker and is about to dump him at Arkham when the transfer student appears.

The student is holding flowers, with a youthful, harmless baby face. Behind him lies a whole line of robbers, bruised and battered, with blood still spattered across their foreheads.

“My dear Damian, we just met yesterday. Doesn’t that mean it’s time for a date today?”

Damian: ?

Has another lunatic shown up in Gotham?

Damian investigates the transfer student: unknown identity, unknown past, and he figured out Damian’s vigilante identity by their second meeting.

The next day, the transfer student starts pursuing him in the most brazen way possible.

His antics include, but aren’t limited to: elbowing the Riddler until he wants to confess a riddle, finding the Mad Hatter and asking him to kidnap him so he can be rescued by a hero, and getting the Joker to use bombs as fireworks to make up for Gotham’s lack of a summer fireworks festival…

Arkham’s inmates have had enough. They even beg vigilante Damian to take the transfer student away.

Damian: .

At least on this matter, he’s happy to see blood flow freely :)

Damian once considered sending the transfer student to Arkham. Unfortunately, the guy is only crazy about him. He’s actually very restrained around ordinary people.

He checks in with good morning, good afternoon, and good night; delivers mysterious heart-shaped lunch boxes; and always manages to appear when Damian is alone.

Warnings don’t work, and hiding doesn’t work. In the end, Damian gives in.

Fine. He’ll just treat him like an extra shadow following him around.

Then one day, his shadow suddenly vanishes. Damian searches all over Gotham and can’t find so much as a hair.

Just as he’s about to look in other cities, the shadow reappears.

Damian is both happy and furious. He grabs him and demands to know where he’s been.

The shadow replies as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world: “I heard that absence makes the heart grow fonder!”

Damian: …

He’s so furious he laughs. He’s never been this speechless in his life.

Dorik is Damian’s devoted fan. The first thing he does after arriving in Gotham is get himself an identity, break into the League of Assassins to rescue Damian, and play the Pretty Boy Dream Factory game.

The good news: With his maxed-out combat skills, Dorik quickly gets a suitable identity.

The bad news: Damian is reverse-order in this world, so the plan falls apart.

But… no worries! If he can’t raise him, he can stick close to him! He can still activate Plan B!

Dorik quickly arranges to transfer schools, ready to admire and stalk his favorite up close during his school life.

Two days after meeting Damian, Dorik thinks: The sky is blue, the clouds are white, his heart is racing, and even that mysterious mop of hair is sexy.

Dorik changes his mind on the spot: New plan. I’m dating Damian!

[Extra scene]

After a series of events, including a date, fighting back-to-back in a dangerous situation, and a bit of forceful seduction (?), Damian decides he should bring him home to discuss marriage.

He picks a good day, pulls out a dazzling diamond on the Batmobile, and waits for Dorik to be moved.

Dorik frowns. “You haven’t even confessed to me. We’re not together yet, so how are we supposed to get married?”

Damian: ?

CP: Damian x Dorik
