Summary
There's no way he could pass for Dick’s actual brother and he’s got the face of a shell-shocked cartoon mouse — but not the cutesy mice, the ones in the old 80's movies that gave Dick nightmares as a child. That plus the fact the Drake kid’s got a thick New Jersey accent he can’t shake and Dick doesn’t look grown-up enough to be toting around a preteen is sure to get people asking questions. Or worse. So Dick hauls Tim in by the strap on his backpack, steps onto the shoulder, sticks his thumb skyward toward the cloudless cornflower blue of middle America in summer, and prays that whoever pulls over lies somewhere boring on the sliding scale between serial killer and snitch.
Dick Grayson turns 20 on March 20th, Jason Todd dies on April 27th, and by May 23rd, Bruce Wayne's ward-not-son is rattling around in the bed of a 1979 Ford F-150 heading anywhere but Gotham, New Jersey. Wayne money and Bat technology can't find him, but he's got a bug-eyed shadow and a raw Robin-shaped wound to haul across the continental United States.

Summary
“Yeah,” Jonathan breathes out. “I’m okay.” It’s not really true. But he’s still standing, so it can’t be a complete lie.
Can it?
Or, following Starcourt and the destruction of their cabin, Hopper and Eleven move in with the Byers. Life goes on. Jonathan struggles to go on with it.
But somewhere along the way, between breaking his hand, getting to know his two new roommates while reckoning with the changes between his two family members, falling (further) in love with Nancy and Steve, and witnessing his new household become a new family—and also just because it’s always inevitable—Jonathan gets there.

“You’re donating,” Jonathan glances back down at the paper, “your bat, your car, your TV, and all your money?”
“Yeah, you know, I was kinda busy with graduation so I’m doing my spring cleaning now.”
“Steve, don’t fuck around.” And once again, there it is. Jonathan Byers looking at him with the exasperated impatience of someone who thinks they’re so much smarter than him. So much more mature than him. If he wants to be like that, fine.
“It’s a will. Happy? Stop looking at me like that or you’re gonna get taken out of it.”

Summary
There were three possibilities:
One: Jon was telling the truth—and so were Damian’s memories—and Damian’s childhood best friend really had been abducted at age eleven by a mysterious woman who had made everyone forget he ever existed, even his own father.
Two: Damian’s memories were accurate, but the thing Damian had met in the park was not Jon, and was using his memories to manipulate Damian for some nefarious purpose, presumably connected to whatever had made Jon disappear in the first place.
Three: Jon Kent had never existed, and the thing in the park had implanted those memories in Damian’s mind—again, for nefarious purposes.
It was tempting to believe in the first option. Damian’s memories of Jon were so clear: clinging to Goliath’s back and laughing as they soared through the night sky. Crouching by his open window, daring Jon to be bad for once and sneak out. Swearing to Superman that he would protect him.
If Jon was real, Damian had failed profoundly to keep that promise.

Summary
Jonathan,
Checking to see if I got the right address for you guys. Just in case, you know?
And I thought you'd want to know that even though the kids miss Will and El a lot they're getting by OK so far. Everybody is a little quieter but Mike isn't showing any signs of deppression which I know was like a legitimate concern. But you probably already hear about him from Nancy so I'm sure you already knew.
Anyways you don't have to write back if you just put a big check mark over this paper and do the "return to sender" thing or whatever that works and I'll know you got it.
Thanks,
Steve- Language:
