Prompt 70
They’re losing. They’re the justice league, the world’s greatest defenders, their final defense even, and they’re losing.
The being had appeared out of seemingly nowhere, all blue-fire fury and deathly cold as it tore through everything like it was paper.
They were a team, an entire league, and they’re losing-
In their despair they don’t notice the lazarus, or rather ecto-green, portal opening, a man with hair as dark as the night sky stepping through, slippers still on his feet and coffee in his hand.
At least they don't notice at first, even though the being sure does.

Will Graham's whole thing with Alana is so fucking autistic at every turn. She has to lay out exactly what's going on for him because he can't not know, but he also just can't tell (which like... fair! She's being really confusing! Even she doesn't know what she wants!)
Of course he's going to feel more at ease with Hannibal - the man is so fucking consistent because he's trained himself to be placid.
Then there's also this autistic slant to Hannibal, because he's made his set of rules and he fucking sticks to it (and plainly insists that others stick to it as well, or else). He's great at social situations, but mainly those in highly structured settings like concerts or therapy sessions. He rarely shows facial emotions unless he's actively projecting something, and you can't tell me that the food thing isn't some kind of sensation seeking. Killing people is basically just a special interest. He dresses the same no matter the situation. He's got a vinyl murder onesie to keep himself clean.
Does Hannibal meet the diagnostic criteria for ASD? Absolutely not. But have you ever seen two autistic people who've known each other for long enough that all of their conversations are unintelligible to outsiders? That talk in collaborative run-on sentences and beat metaphors to death? Yeah, Will and Hannibal are sure as shit autistic with each other, even if Hannibal doesn't meet the criteria alone.
And like, we can all agree that they're both masking, yes? Will in the standard autistic way, and Hannibal in the person-suit way, but both definitely constructing their person-ness based on what they see as normal-enough-to-get-away-with. They use the people around them as their reference points for how to react to things. So shove Will and Hannibal in a room together and wait a week, and they'll both come out with the same mask. That's just season 2, honestly. Let these two get under each others' skin and they'll try to wear it. It's like flirting to them.
