Summary
There are 5 steps to a long con:
1. Foundation work: Preparations are made in advance of the game, including the hiring of any assistants required and studying the background knowledge needed for the role.
2. Approach: The victim is approached or contacted.
3. Build-up: The victim is given an opportunity to profit from participating in a scheme. The victim's greed is encouraged, such that their rational judgment of the situation might be impaired.
4. Pay-off or convincer: The victim receives a small payout as a demonstration of the scheme's purported effectiveness. This may be a real amount of money or faked in some way. In a gambling con, the victim is allowed to win several small bets. In a stock market con, the victim is given fake dividends.
5. The “Hurrah”: A sudden manufactured crisis or change of events forces the victim to act or make a decision immediately. This is the point at which the con succeeds or fails.
OR
Hal is adamant that he's not going to spend Bruce's money. Bruce intends to change his mind about that. (A sort-of 5+1 fic)

Summary
“Why are you here?” Hal asks, feeling the beginning of a headache pounding in his skull.
The kid, Jason, stops chewing on Hal’s potato chips and looks at him as if he’s stupid for asking a reasonable question. “Because Batman hates you the most, duh.”
A tale of friendship that spans years.
(Each installment can be read as a standalone.)
