Summary
“Hey, shitheads!” Steve “the hair” Harrington barks, looming in the doorway like a monster from the Abyss. “What the fuck are you doing in here? Get your asses down to the gym right fucking now.”
Eddie gapes. First of all, the audacity— Second, he’s never been much for physical fights, but if this douchebag thinks he can bully any of Eddie’s kids, he’ll have to go through Eddie first.
“Let’s go! Move it!” Harrington snaps, making an impatient gesture down the hall.

Summary
Billy Hargrove doesn't keep his promise to Max. He doesn't keep it in a pretty spectacular fashion, actually. Instead of staying away from her friends, he murders one of them.
Unfortunately for Billy, Hellfire meets right after basketball practice. And fortunately for Steve, Eddie knows CPR.
(Or: There is a clearly defined set of steps to keep someone's heart beating. There's no guide for the aftermath. Steve, Eddie, and everyone they love write one together.)

Summary
“Get on the berth,” Ratchet said. “Now.”
Drift's finials twitched. He tightened his grip on the shuttle's controls to keep his engine from revving. After several hours of silence, those were not the words he would have expected to come out of his traveling companion’s vocalizer.
“What?”
Ratchet rolled his optics. “For a checkup. I'm not even going to ask when the last time you did basic maintenance was. Save you the trouble of lying to me. C'mon, this thing can go on autopilot for a few hours.”
On their way back to the Lost Light, Drift reveals to Ratchet he’s been in some level of pain, constantly, for years.

Summary
Deadlock is going to end the war.
Not because of any recently developed deep moral conviction against killing other mechs. Rather, from an outside perspective it’s starting to look like Ratchet might actually explode—like a ticking guilt bomb—if even one more mech dies in his med bay. And decidedly, if Deadlock is able to surmise this from the corner of the med bay they have shoved him in, Ratchet must be barely hanging on by a thread. And Deadlock has unfortunately come to the realisation that his world might truly collapse if Ratchet dies.
The solution is obvious:
Deadlock is going to kill Megatron.

Summary
Shockwave's experiments have left both factions amnesiac, partially organic, and enslaved. Their new Quintesson overlords are forcing them to operate some kind of mine.
Jazz managed to escape early on, but is now marooned in the wilderness of an alien world, living off the land, with only a loose plan for tracking down a space port; Optimus has lost his memory; Prowl is battling down virus-ridden dysphoria.
But the Autobots are not alone.
And perhaps there is some kind of (in-)famous revolutionary lurking around who might have the right force of personality and sheer stubbornness to spark a slave revolt...

Summary
When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.
Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

Summary
“Hey, I do I... Do I know you?” Danny asks, a hand coming up to brush something off Tim’s cheek.
“No,” Tim says. “We haven’t met.”
“Oh, no, I do.” Danny says, and he smiles, teeth white and sharp. “You’re that guy who rearranged my guts!”
Rearranged his-
Tim glances at the knotted scars on the boy’s abdomen. He can see the shine and shadow of haphazard stitches that weren’t meant to hold forever, that tore and healed over.
His- This-
“WHAT!?” Nightwing shouts, equal parts confused and delighted.
Tim’s fucked.OR
Danny Fenton's been in GIW captivity for 4 months.
Tim Drake gets kidnapped by the GIW one Tuesday evening in May.
Considering how many of the Bats and the Birds have died and come back to life, it was only a matter of time for some people interested in the afterlife to come poking around. The detectives can't seem to uncover any information about the mysterious white vans, however.
And they keep losing the mysterious boy who seems to be the one person in Gotham to know anything at all.

Summary
Another showdown with Ra's goes very wrong when Red Robin disappears in a Lazarus Pit. However, neither Tim nor the rest of his family are about to give up -- he's hardly the first Robin to die and come back even more dangerous. And while he is at it, he just might find yet another mystery and some new allies, too.
There's always room for one more black-haired, blue-eyed kid in the family, anyway.
