    Summary

    "I have pockets, but I don't want to put them in there," she explains, looking over her collection with a careful eye. "I don't want to crush them on accident. They're very delicate, you know."

    "Yeah..." Bruce said softly, holding one of the shells up in his fingers. It was pale, with an orange pattern twisting around to it's tip. A gastropod of some kind. Probably a sea snail.

    (He doesn't notice the way she's looking at him, admiring the focus in his eyes as he considers the tiny thing he holds in his hands. She's seen those fingers paralyze her father's best guards with a single strike to the right pressure point, and she's felt them against her own flesh in combat... And yet here he is so... Careful. Gentle. Sweet. Somehow, it makes her want to weep.)

    Or

    Bruce is in training with the League of Assassins and meets a kindred spirit.

    Summary

    The boy makes that tutting sound again and turns to read the plaque, Hazel does so too. "Marie Levesque and her 2 month old daughter, Hazel." It reads, Hazel wonders how they found that out, Hazel wonders if someone had told stories of the Witch and her deadly jewels, "Nicknamed Queen Marie, Ms Levesque and her daughter were renowned through New Orleans for rumours surrounding the jewels they sold." The answer is yes, apparently, Hazel isn’t sure whether to feel relieved that people now think they’re just rumours. "The two disappeared to Alaska in 1941, and neither were ever seen again."

    That’s her life. That’s the memory of her mother, of her, that these people get to see. They don’t get to know about Sammy, or sneaking into the Whites-only riding club, or drawings of New Orleans stuck in her corner of that Gods-forsaken hut or anything that mattered to her. They disappeared to Alaska, and were never seen again. It’s a pathetic end to a life.

    OR

    Hazel discovers her mother had a photo taken when she was little. She goes to Gotham Museum to have a look.

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    Bruce loved his son. Bruce was delighted that his son was making new friends.

    But there was something odd about that family, and no it wasn't just because Cassandra's mother outvoted him at the last PTA meeting, Jason.

    (That may have played a small part. Sue him, he's human)
