    Summary

    “Max? We need you to answer if you can, mate.” The tone lets him know that this is not the first time he’d been called. He wonders how long he’d been out. Long enough to scare his racing engineer. 

    He shakes out his head, trying to clear the cobwebs, still not exactly sure how he is, but the team will just be glad to know he’s conscious. Hitting the radio button, he notices immediately that the channel hasn’t been opened. 
    ---

    Max crashes. His radio breaks. That doesn't stop GP from being there.

    Summary

    “It is okay, Max. I am glad that you called me. Please, tell me what is wrong. Is it your father?” 

    “Can you pick me up?” He blurts out. 

    There’s a beat of silence. “Where are you?” 

    “Roermond Police Bureau. In the Netherlands. I called my mother but she did not answer and I did not know who else to call. I am sorry I know this is not what you meant when you said to call you I just-”

    “Are you okay?” Sebastian cuts in, “Why are you with the police?”
    ---

    Jos is arrested. Max doesn't know who to call. One person finally picks up.

    Summary

    In 2015, when Max first joined F1 as a fresh-faced rookie, the pack shut him out because of the wrongness and temperament that existed on him like a second skin. In 2025, Max has mellowed out and the pack, specifically the rookies, begin coming to him. Whether they are tired, angry, hurting, or unsure, Max never says no. He doesn’t weigh the risks of involving himself with a pack that doesn't claim him; he only registers that someone needs something, and that he knows how to give.

    Layered on that, Max has a secret that the pack doesn’t know nor understand but they begin to circle it. It lives in the way he goes still when certain voices drop, in how his eyes glaze when someone gets too close, in how he never asks for anything and how every so often he'll disappear and return as a ghost.

    OR: The 2025 rookies get attached to Max very quickly, pulling him into grid pack dynamics. Unfortunately, Max was cut from the pack in 2015 by Lewis and he still doesn't accept him. Now that Max is getting closer again, the grid is starting to notice something is very wrong with him.

    Summary

    Dick comes around to stand fully in front of him, keeping a steadying hand on Tim’s arm. “Just because you know you’re safe intellectually doesn’t mean you always feel safe,” he says softly. “It’s okay if you don’t feel safe.”

    “But it’s not okay!” Tim bursts out. “Because if I don’t feel safe, then how is Jason supposed to feel safe? He shouldn’t have to feel uncomfortable just because my brain is screwed up!”

    There’s a faint sound by the door, barely more than an intake of breath, and his eyes snap to the no-longer empty doorway.

    Summary

    "Wordlessly, and slowly, Bruce takes one breath after another, composing himself. He hands Jason the slightly crumpled sheet of paper. Jason reads it quickly. Quicker than Bruce, but he reads it again and again and again. Finally snapping with panicked urgency, 'What the fuck is this?'

    Bruce, completely devoid of any inflection, forces himself to simply state the facts in front of him. 'That is Red Robin’s two week notice.'"

    Or

    Tim really thought leaving would be a lot easier. Both figuratively and literally.
