Summary
"There were a million things Mabel could have said. She could have asked him something mundane and business related that he wouldn’t question, like to check his car tomorrow for the matchbox in case she just dropped it, or to remind her details of what he’d seen on the subway. She could have pretended to have accidentally sent him a text she meant for someone else. She could have reminded him that the things she’d confessed on Coney Island, what little he may have gleaned, was not for public consumption and if he leaked it to anyone, he’d be wishing he were back in the safety of jail. She didn't write any of them.
Mabel: It’s been a really hard night. I just needed to talk to someone. Is that okay?"
Mabel texts Theo during a rough and overwhelmingly lonely night.

Summary
"'Where is he?'
The question hung in the air. It was a threat, an accusation, a weapon, all at the same time. But it was also something fearful and vulnerable that Damian could only hope was as well hidden as he was trying to keep it. Something that felt far too much like a plea.
Damian planted his feet in the floor and tightened his grip on the blade. Anything to hide his desperation from the man who could see through near everything."
Damian finally confronts Clark Kent about Jon being missing. Because he has to put his hurt and anger somewhere, and it might as well be the Man of Steel.

Summary
Cultures, across many worlds and galaxies, had legends and stories about twins. Whether they were bad luck. Whether they were one soul in two bodies. Whether they were destined to live on opposite sides of the Force. Leia had always listened with interest, but she never knew why. Until the fateful day that Luke confirmed why she had that odd feeling about him.
And in recent years, she'd been dwelling on those legends a lot more.

Summary
Damian Wayne is not a kid.
He lets Grayson call him “kiddo,” sure. And much to his dismay, there have been times when he, Pennyworth, or Father carried him to his bedroom after he dozed off somewhere else in the Wayne Manor. And he lost his last bab–DECIDUOUS tooth more recently than he liked. But that doesn’t make him a kid.
...
Jon Kent, the half-alien, on the other hand? Is perhaps the biggest kid he’s ever known. -
