Summary
Jason’s stomach churns, clenching painfully. He closes his eyes and hugs his pillow, trying not to whimper. It can’t be something he ate. Alfred would never be so careless, so the only other sensible explanation is that he’s sick.
Fuck.

Summary
He tries to think of a subtle way to bring it up: Hey, did you know that actor was in Brokeback Mountain?
You know, there’s a gay romantic comedy coming out next month. Maybe we can see it as a family. Why do I want to see a gay romance? Well, since you’re asking—
Wow, I had no idea the director of this movie was a lesbian. Speaking of which, you’ll never guess what news I’ve got to share!
During the next commercial break, Tim speaks up before he can stop himself. “While I’ve got you both here, can we talk for a sec?”

“Sorry about the sting, my boy,” Alfred says. He has apparently already begun swabbing the wound with disinfectant. “I will inject the numbing agent in a minute.”
Damian stares at him. “You didn’t already?”
“Pardon?”
“Nothing,” Damian says quickly, shaking his head at himself. “I just—it doesn’t hurt.”

Summary
Jason is already out of the diner. He starts his motorcycle and peels out of the lot. “Tell me your injuries.”
“It’s h-hard to breathe. My chest hurts really bad. Might be a c-collapsed lung,” Tim wheezes. “And my—my leg is in bad shape. Ankle, I think. Probably broken.”
Jason curses his whole damn existence. Of course he’s the one stuck dealing with this shit. “I’ll be there in six minutes. Think you can hang on until then?”
“Y-Yeah. I think so.” Not that he has much choice in the matter.

Summary
Dick doesn’t bother watching his step. He’s been down this path enough times in the last two years to know the way by heart. The fresh pack of Marlboros might as well be a brick in his hand. It weighs him down, unforgettably solid.
It isn’t long before he comes up to the achingly familiar headstone and stops, releasing a heavy breath into the cold air.
He smiles sadly. “Hey, Jason.”

Summary
Donny whistles, and a henchman must have been waiting directly outside the door because he obediently brings in a rolling cart. If she weren’t so terrified, Steph would make a drama queen joke. She only gets a quick look at the cart, but it’s enough to recognize the tools lined up on the tray. Knives. Power tools. A welding torch.
“I’m telling you the truth!” Steph says, her heart quickening. “I didn’t even know he had a stash until now!”
“That’s fine,” Donny says. He regards Steph as one would a puppy in a cage. Cute, but not capable of doing much. He wanders behind her towards Tim until she can’t see him anymore. “Take your time remembering. I’ve got all night.”

Summary
Roy is talking to somebody on the phone now, his voice muffled through the door. Lian can hear enough to pick up pieces of the one-sided conversation. She hears the word ambulance, followed by their address. She hears what sounds like a sob at first, but it can’t be that. Lian’s dad would never cry like that.
She hears, My husband tried to kill himself, and then, brokenly, Hurry.

Summary
“Dick?” Bruce repeats, louder this time.
“Huh?” He doesn’t know how long he zoned out for, but half of the bacon on Bruce’s plate is gone, so it must have been a few minutes. “Sorry,” Dick says, shoving a piece of toast in his mouth and trying not to gag on it. “I’m fine. Still in the early stages, I think.”
It’s been six hours since he got dosed. The green ring around his eyes has been faded since dawn. It won’t be long before the withdrawal hits him in full force.

Summary
Tim can’t remember the last time his brain was this quiet. Usually, the only times his mind is this clear are when he’s about to pass out from blood loss or drown in the Gotham Sound. Both of those sound appealing, but Tim is too tired to get up and do it. If he had more energy, he might.

Summary
“Okay,” Jason says. He steps forward again; Tim steps back. His heel teeters off the edge now. Jason goes very still. “Do you…want some help getting down from here? I can help you. We can go together.” He holds out his gloved hand expectantly, hopefully.
Tim looks back over his shoulder at the roaring waves below. “There are probably people somewhere who need your help.”
“That’s why I’m here with you.”
“I don’t need any help.”
“It kind of looks like you do.”

Summary
He’s known since he woke up this morning, his chest tight with painful certainty. At first, he wasn’t sure what it meant—why he felt like he was already grieving despite all of his loved ones being alive and well, as far as he knew. Tim ignored it the best he could, amounting the sensation to general anxiety mixed with excessive caffeine consumption mixed with whatever other vices Tim has left.
It was only when the feeling swelled tenfold the closer he got in proximity to Bruce that Tim understood what his curse was trying to tell him.
Bruce is going to die today.
