Chapter 1: Bruce Wayne
Notes:
Not sure if it's worth doing warnings, since if you glance down you might read the whole thing before seeing them, but I will put them in anyway
After this point I am hiding chapter notes so they won't be distracting, especially to those who clicked 'entire work,' but if you're curious of course they're there to be looked at.

Chapter Text
Laughing, you pulled back from the kiss and looked at Bruce Wayne, enjoying the flush of his face, his slightly swollen lips. You could feel his cock beginning to swell under you as you sat on his lap, and a wave of desire ran through you.
"Shall we...?"
You tilted your head at the elevators to the hotel above.
Bruce looked almost dizzy, and the lights and noise of the club probably didn't help. His eyes sharpened, and he pulled back from your embrace, taking your hands in his.
"I'm sorry," he said. "I should get back to the party."
Notes:
small ramble about Bruce Wayne's relationship status
I figured this left things open enough for whether Batman is single in any given iteration, so that it can be according to reader preference. Regardless of relationship status, making out fuels his billionaire playboy reputation. Maybe he breaks it off because he's got Bat-Stuff to do, maybe it's because he has someone he loves and isn't willing to go further, maybe something else entirely.

Things hadn't worked out with Bruce Wayne, but you hadn't exactly expected to walk into Gotham and get with its most prominent billionaire. Even making out had been a fluke, though you wished it had gone further.
Still, things were on the up; a cute guy had asked you out when you picked up a new hard drive. The date was going well.
You stirred your drink.
"So, what's your story, Tim?"
"Oh, well, long story short, I'm Tim Drake, of the Drakes."
"Sorry, I'm not from Gotham, I don't really know what that means."
He smiled, and started talking.

I couldn't tell you the billionaires living in my own city, so it seemed fair for the reader to be a sort of fresh start for Tim. Even if you knew the Drakes' name, you probably wouldn't be all caught up on the local stories/gossip about them.
Don't worry, this is the tamest chapter, there's plenty to come ;)

Chapter Text
The date with Tim had been nice; he'd seemed genuine and kind, but he didn't take you home. You were pent up.
So when you came across a dark and brooding and built man in a dive bar, you moved in on him, first flirting, then whispering filthy things in his ear until he brought you outside and fucked you deep against a wall, holding you up with one hand while the other rubbed you almost too hard, making you come messily just before he shot his load.
You didn't get his name, but you hoped you'd see him again.

word of god there's a condom and spit-for-lube, unless you'd rather there wasn't

Chapter Text
Finally it happened. Just being in Gotham tempted fate.
Some henchman dragged you and a handful of other hostages to the roof of a building and lined you up at its edge. It felt strange and dreamlike, though no less terrifying when his first demand wasn't met, and he shoved you off.
A dark, winged figure caught you, swooping you onto a small, isolated balcony.
"Kiss me," you whispered.
"I can't-"
"Nothing feels real; please."
He hesitated, then slipped the mask away from his mouth, and you saw his soft lips for only a moment before they touched your own.
Notes:
Click to expand notes: not actually spoilers but only read after the chapter
Put this under a spoiler (edit: before putting all notes under spoilers) because I wouldn't want it to change anyone's initial reading of the chapter, but I struggled a lot with this one. It was a hard vibe to get across in a drabble (although of course that's part of the challenge). My idea was, basically, the trope where there's a triumphant kiss after a hero saves someone's life, and that the reader, dazed, sort of dissociating after the traumatic experience, goes for the comfort of something that's ingrained in us (at least by the media) as a happy ending to the situation. edit: as your_guilty_pleasure on AO3 better worded it, a kiss to ground oneself.
Click to expand notes: Batwing's risk and what's to come
Word of god, other Bats are also there rescuing people, Batwing isn't risking anyone's life by taking a moment to kiss. His cut off line is something like "I can't kiss people, I'm supposed to just rescue them."
