I am Retired
is a Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Batman crossover story. Percy, as the title suggests, is absolutely done with cleaning up the messes of the Olympians, which unfortunately keeps him from getting the recommendations needed to go to college in New Rome with Annabeth. The good news is that there’s another option for him to complete his higher education, in a city monsters seem oddly hesitant to enter. The bad news is that said city is Gotham. And as if Percy’s family tree didn’t have enough drama already, it turns out that his mother’s side of the family had some surprises even she didn’t know about…
- Crossover Relatives: In this story Percy's mother is the long-lost sister of Bruce Wayne.
- Doorstep Baby: Sally was left on the steps of an orphanage as a baby.
- Fusion Fic: Combines the Percy Jackson universe with the DCU.
- Magitek: Leo has begun developing technology like laptops and cell phones that use celestial bronze in their construction, allowing demigods to use them without sending out a "kill me here" signal to monsters.
- Obfuscating Disability: Percy gets shot in a botched robbery, and he later bemoans that he'll have to keep his arm looking mummified for a while when his water-based Healing Factor means that he'll be back to 100% after his next shower.
- Occam's Razor: When Jason and Tim realise that Sally is the exact double of Martha Wayne, the two briefly consider that she could be a clone or the reincarnation of Martha, but decide that "long-lost older sibling" is the simplest explanation, as in the case of the clone theory in particular there's no reason someone would go to all the trouble of cloning Martha Wayne eighteen years ago (as she would have to have existed for long enough for Percy to be born naturally), as Bruce was just starting out as Batman at the time.
- Properly Paranoid: Bruce set up a system in the Gotham hospitals to automatically test blood samples against the members of the Bat-Family after he missed Jason after his resurrection, and updated it after he found out about Damian. This means that when Percy gets shot, Bruce quickly finds out about their relationship.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Percy's mother Sally is noted to be the spitting image of Martha Wayne.
- Weirdness Magnet: Inverted, something about Gotham actually seemingly repels monsters, which is part of why Percy ends up going to college there since he'll be relatively safe in the city, ironically enough.
