Summary
The Squawk had become their cover, their communication hub, their war room. Robin did the actual broadcasts mostly playing music and reading pre-written community updates approved by the military presence in town, but the real purpose was the coded messages. Steve had helped her set up the whole system, spending hours figuring out how to get all the sound effects she wanted, taping things to walls and attempting to MacGyver random things around the station. That was just who Steve was, but looking around the room now, Robin wondered more and more if anyone else actually saw that.

Summary
And just like that, in one small conversation, Sign Language becomes an escape language. When words are too much or the world is just a little bit too hard. It’s a way to communicate but stay silent. Keep everything between them like they aren’t letting their secrets out. It creates a distance that only a second language can create, and it works. For both of them.
Or: Robin knows Sign Language. Steve wants to learn.

Summary
“It’s colder than a banker’s heart on foreclosure day out there,” Wayne called out as he returned to the trailer after almost an hour of fiddling with the Mayfield’s dodgy boiler that the landlord was refusing to mend because ‘was it really that bad?’.
Wayne was surprised that Eddie wasn't responding but he quickly realised why when he turned around and saw his nephew standing there with what must have been three jackets, a scarf, two hats and multiple pairs of mismatched gloves on.
“Fuck,” Wayne muttered, looking over him.
“Steve isn't home yet,” was all Eddie said and Wayne noticed that he was holding his van keys in his overly gloved hand.
“Son…” Wayne trailed off, unable to bring the words into reality that they both knew were on his mind. That it was too dangerous, that his van wouldn't make it out of the trailer park, that he wouldn't be able to see the road, that there was no way he’d be any use to Steve going out there.
