Summary: The one where Erik is Batman, and Charles is kidnapped roughly once a week.

 

I would just like to quote a scene:

There came a rustling sound and then Hank said, “Okay, but you guys should really get a computer installed in the car. I can do it over the weekend, if you want.”

“We tried,” Alex said, smirking. “Erik shorts them out whenever someone cuts him off.”

“Who’d cut off the Batmobile?” Hank asked.

“It’s Gotham,” Alex replied.

That’s all I have to share, really, because it makes me laugh, and gives you a perfect bit of humor from this story.

Meanwhile, in things of a fannish nature: I like to differentiate between a “crossover” between two series, where, like, characters meet each other; and a “fusion,” where you do an AU in-the-style of, or things like that. So, if Erik met Batman, crossover. AU in the style of batman: fusion. Is that nit-picking, I wonder?
