Summary
Tyler meets his eyes then. There’s a numbness in them that really does scare Josh. “Your social security card is in your bedside drawer,” he tells him.
“Yeah, it is.”
“Your middle name is William.”
“Also true.” Where’s he going with this?
“It’d be pretty stupid to kill me here.” Tyler shrugs. “Or, you know, rape me.”
Josh flinches. “I’m not—“
“If any of me was found here they’d know it was you, so either you’re an idiot, or you’re not gonna touch me.” Tyler shoves his hands into his pockets. “And I don’t think you’re an idiot.”
.-
Josh is nineteen and only dreams about murders. Tyler's a college drop-out with a knack for solving cold cases. It works out well enough.

Summary
Fear seeps into him. Maybe they’ve captured him again, put him back into stasis. But he can’t do anything. It’s like he’s not really here, a ghost floating above his own corpse. He hears whispers through the black.
“Can’t just kill him.”
“Like…Morally, or literally?”
“Let’s be generous and say both.”
He fights for control, but he already feels himself slipping away, his body refusing to wake up to this new nightmare.
Why won’t you people leave me alone?

Summary
These past months in Beacon Hills have been quiet, almost damn near normal. So why does Liam keep having nightmares of the hospital that used to feel like a second home to him? Why do the words help me echo through his thoughts when he lies awake?

Summary
He needs to say something, something to make Stiles understand that the further he goes down this path, the longer he runs with the wolves, he might end up losing more than just a spot on the lacrosse team.
“You’re not gonna make it.”

Summary
"The armed escort flanked the Jedi, led by the scientists with the all too familiar Kaminoan emblem on their uniforms. The Jedi looked back at Crosshair, and for a brief flash he saw Hunter. Tiny cadet Hunter with the hair falling into his eyes, looking back at him with eyes silently pleading don’t let me take them away. And Crosshair would try, would always try, but it never mattered."

Summary
There's a reason Elwood can recognize the Winter Soldier on sight. They've met before. She doesn't blame him for not remembering; their worlds both ended that day. Between her and Project Insight, she's not surprised she didn't make the highlight reel.

Summary
During the procedure, Crosshair’s thoughts turn, inexplicably, to Echo.
Something about this metal contraption he’s in, something about the smooth walls closing in around him, strangling him (he’s a sniper, open air is his forte) sends him back to Skako Minor. To that horrible capsule they found Echo in.
Maybe I’ll end up just like him. A thing trapped in a tube.

Summary
The few people that have had the pleasure of meeting Crosshair and living to tell the tale have called him cold, calculating, abrasive. Heartless. That’s because he took the shards of his soul and pointed them outward. Formed a defensive ring out of what was left of his humanity. Assuming he had any to begin with. The world had doled nothing but pain for him and his family. He has no qualms about responding in kind.

Summary
Sam’s been “gone,” and now he’s back, lying on Steve’s couch and staring at his shitty ceiling, or what little of it he can make out in the ever-present glow of Brooklyn’s light pollution. He hasn’t even bothered to take his jeans off.
Grief. That’s what’s keeping him glued to the couch now. Keeping him awake.

Summary
The silhouette of a man stands just out of reach of the soft lights over the countertop. The only thing distinguishable about him is the steely glint of metal just peeking below the wrist of his sleeve.
“You Howard’s kid?” The figure asks, still encased in shadow.
“Who’s asking?” Nearest suit was downstairs. He could call it up, but he wasn’t keen on smashing up all of Pepper’s interior design efforts. And, he figures, if the guy wanted to kill him, he would’ve dispensed with the pleasantries.

Summary
Derek was fully awake now, eyes darting between the two of them. He looked so unnaturally scared and young and vulnerable, nothing like the man they knew.
“It’s alright, you’re safe.” Isaac readied himself for Deaton’s reaction to what he said next. “We’re friends of Talia.”
