Wrens played a major part in the planning and organisation of naval operations, serving at Bletchley Park and its out-stations, operating machines used in code-breaking.

I would’ve loved to see the in-universe news reports after the events of Glass Onion. Imagine someone having to put out to the public “Tonight’s top story, idiot billionaire Miles Bron uses experimental energy source to blow up own home, taking with it arguably the most famous painting of all time. At the same event noted streamer and misogynist Duke Whatshisname was allegedly murdered, although according to our sources this was not related to the explosion. All surviving members of the incident have contracted covid and experts are saying this whole case could be tied up in the courts for years based purely on how ridiculous it all is. Celebrated detective Benoit Blanc weighs in.*”
*From home, because he also has covid.

Ghost Train
It was no secret that the trains in Gotham were damaged, whether it was from all the explosions that flooded the city on a daily basis or the fact that the rails were broken wasn't completely clear. At that point, what was once a train station was nothing more than an empty place used by some homeless people to sleep.
Or that's what it was supposed to be, because while the station was damaged and underneath the city, it was actually active. It just had another kind of train, a slightly more interesting one.
In Danny's defense, he was extremely bored and there was an abandoned train station he could use to play with. All it took was calling in a favor from Technus and a fully functional ghost train connected the Infinite Realms to Gotham.
The ghosts, of course, used this for fun. Fighting each other, chasing each other, celebrating, having concerts. It was a way to go to the human world without anyone causing trouble for them, not that anyone was paying attention anyway.
Or at least, no one was supposed to be paying attention, because Waylon was dumbfounded at the sight. He had escaped to the old rails when he had no other choice, his sewers were compromised and he needed a way out. He didn't expect to walk right into a party, or be offered a sandwich with a smile instead of a shout.
He could also observe a clearly glowing train and the fact that everyone there was glowing. They could be metas, or another completely new creature, but Waylon didn't care, they gave him food and he wasn't a snitch.

since he's gonna be traits and habits mashed together and amped to the extreme, Eclipse likes to tap on the glass the same way Moon did to the Daycare's glass when Y/N and them first met.
