Summary
“The President gave the order. He gets a pardon.”
“An experimental pardon,” Val corrected. “And the President needs to look just as good as the rest of us. He’ll lean into that war hero image until the first disaster and poof! Tune changed. But guess who will get all of that blame?”
“We have very advanced technology to ensure that won’t happen,” Ross said.
“Thaddeus, Thaddeus,” she tutted. “That soldier has withstood every single torture method known to man. Chemicals, deprivation, solitary confinement. Literal brain injury! And he was barely kept in check. What do you think’s going to happen when he’s let loose? We can take bets on the number of casualties.”
Maybe she’d said that last part a little too gleefully. In any case, Ross narrowed his eyes. “Do you have a suggestion?”
----------
Bucky's pardon requires that he wear an artificially intelligent shock collar as a term of his release. Bucky accepts, knowing it's his only chance to get out and do some good in the world.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of people ready to severely misuse that power.
A retelling of TFATWS.

Summary
(n.) a reason for existing
A year after the Riddler’s attack on Gotham, Batman struggles to repair a city fractured and drowning in crime. But when rumors spread through Gotham’s criminal underworld about an alien hero in Metropolis—an otherworldly figure with god-like powers who’s changing the course of history—Bruce can't help but be skeptical. But his concerns are confirmed when this so-called "Superman," arrives in Gotham one night during his patrol, bringing with him a wave of chaos that threatens to disrupt the fragile balance he has fought so hard to maintain.
Clark had heard about Gotham City when he first arrived at Metropolis—a lawless, crime-ridden city plagued with corruption—but he had never felt the need to enter its borders. That is until he learns of a mysterious vigilante known as "The Batman," a figure who, like him, seeks justice for his city and its people, his curiosity gets the better of him. Drawn to the idea of meeting someone with a shared mission, Clark decides to seek out the elusive hero, after all, nothing bad can come out of it can it? But boy was he wrong.

Please mind the warnings at the beginning of each chapter. Some will be suitable for general teen audiences and some will have a lot of TW/CW with explicit material. Chose wisely.
