    Summary

    “You hate us for making you better,” Dick continues against his will. He doesn’t want to be saying this, but really, how dare Bruce be so surprised to hear it? He should understand better than any of them how defective his relationship skills are. He has no right to pretend it isn’t true now that they can all hear it aloud. “But you hate yourself more for making us worse, which is—it’s fucked up, but we’re all fucked up, and it’s—it’s only partially your fault. You secretly wish you’d never met any of us, and you’d be right about it because now we hate ourselves, too.”

    How can Bruce have the audacity to look heartbroken when he already knew all of this? Why is he pretending? Why does he keep lying?

     

    (Dick is dosed with truth serum, and the effects will take at least a day to wear off. During that time, Dick is forced to reveal and confront truths about himself that he never wanted to acknowledge. )

    Summary

    “Well, well, well,” Midnighter says. Him. “We meet again.”

    “Unfortunately,” Agent 37 says, cheerily, and throws him a roundhouse kick.

    "Must be fate," another kick, then a jab. Midnighter's left. He sees it all.

    "Gosh," Agent 37 wields his batons. "I sure hope not."

    Summary

    “Would you change what you did if I yelled?” he asks.

    Voice full of promise, Dick answers, “No.”

    It’s not disappointment, as such, that courses through him, just something terrible that already existed, ossifying in his lungs hard enough to make breathing hurt.

    “That’s what I thought,” Roy says blithely.

    Relief is a pipe dream. A brief insight into Roy Harper's headspace after Infinite Crisis (2005).
