In Class 1-A, Rin must learn to trust herself, use her quirk in heroics, and discover that heroism isn’t about fame… it’s about courage, heart, and finding her own voice.

Summary
Tim is an art forger. There’s no other word for it. He fakes antiquities and sells them. It’s illegal, it’s immoral, and it’s a total secret.
Tim has managed to avoid detection by his parents, their clients, the GCPD, Batman, INTERPOL, and, notably, Catwoman.
This all comes apart one soggy week in April, when Gotham mafia boss Callum O'Gowan gets an artifact he purchased from the Drakes appraised. Enraged by the fraud, O'Gowan kidnaps Tim on his way home from school to get back at Jack and Janet, who are totally certain that they’ve sold a genuine, authentic necklace and don’t really understand why this unpleasant large man is yelling so much.
In the aftermath, Tim struggles to keep his parents from discovering his lies, his neighbors from discovering his kidnapping, and his neighbors' alter egos from discovering his crimes.
~~~
Meanwhile, Jason Todd has just met the funniest freshman at Gotham Academy who is also clearly the most-up-to-something freshman at Gotham Academy. Also, all of his bullies are avoiding him suddenly.
Things get weirder.

Summary
Steve's feet stumbled more than walked, but Hopper didn't care. He half-carried, half-dragged the kid toward the emergency room doors, his jaw clenched so tight it ached. Every step felt like it took too long.
As the two of them started to slowly stumble to the front of the ER, Hopper took a brief moment to think about it. Took a moment to think how despite everything—despite barely knowing the kid, despite all his preconceptions and assumptions, despite the amount of times Steve had purposefully acted like a smart-ass punk just to piss him off—Hopper had realized something tonight:
Steve Harrington was a good kid.

Summary
Searching through this pine forest is like trying to find a building outside of a snowglobe; everything looks the same, and no matter where he turns, everything is shaken up again. His vivid green eyes squint to make out his surroundings, but come up short as his eyes dart between the abundant amount of trees surrounding him. The only difference between where he was a few seconds ago is a rock or well-placed pile of leaves he’s seen elsewhere at least five times by now. His consciousness began to dread seeing the same rock over and over again.
Why is he going back? Why, when he never chose to be there in the first place? He can’t reason with himself at the moment. Dazed, bogged down, and shivering through every movement, Goosebumps spread over his body as his toes curl. Pins and needles prick little dots into his feet like he’s a Beanie Baby and someone shook up his extremities in the cruelest way.

Oscar Heathcliff is thrown for a loop when he manages to escape through the woods, but things continue to go downhill despite his newfound freedom. Will Oscar manage to stay himself despite the changes that slowly start happening to him?

"Eddie lives, but getting better from being used as a demo-bat chew toy isn't his only problem.
The town still hates him, but for some reason, Steve doesn't seem to share the sentiment, even though Eddie hadn't listened and deviated from the plan when it came time to distract the bats.Turns out Eddie couldn't have been more wrong about all of his assumptions about Steve Harrington."

Summary

And it certainly doesn’t matter that his parents are back in town. Non of that matters because life has never been better for Steve Harrington… at least that’s what he tells himself anyway.
