Summary
"As I watched the three of them rushed off after me, arguing strategies and solutions, while the Sadness carried me, crying and clonking along on misshapen feet and hooves, my head hit a rock in the road, then another, and another.
I was in the process of freeing one of my arms from the new jacket I didn’t want tearing up, pointing the gun built into my limb up at the thing carrying me’s face, when the Sadness got lucky, and while it lifted me in it’s grip, a stray claw severed a connection in my neck and-

Summary
"Mirabelle looks like she’s about to pick up another human and I’m not even going to pretend to be okay with that.
'How old are you three?' Annoyance #2 asks, arms crossed and foot tapping.
'Twenty-two!' Mirabelle chirps,
'Twenty-three!' Annoyance #1 grins,
'None of your business.' I say, crossing my arms right back at her.
She gives me an appraising look, before sighing, 'There’s absolutely no way I’m leaving the fate of an entire country to a group of children,' Hey! A hand comes up to pinch the bridge of her nose, 'Right. I’m coming with you.'"
In which Murderbot has a hell of a time getting used to the new party member. It'll be fine. Maybe. Probably. Possibly. Or it won't. But that's a problem for later.

Summary
"I was outvoted. And by outvoted I mean, Mirabelle said that she really wanted this random Defender to come along with us, and I couldn’t say no to her big sad sparkly savior eyes. I mean, I *could* say no (I *did* say no) but that made my organics feel weird and I ended up caving."
In which Murderbot helps defend Mirabelle and this random Defender guy from some Sadnesses, gets asked some mildly uncomfortable questions, and does it's job.

Summary
Danny takes on a new moniker when he starts up business in Gotham as a human, but this time, he's not the hero. A vigilante to the core, taking risks and shots for the greater good at another's expense.
With his memories holding his left hand and his responsibilities holding his right, Gotham seems like the perfect place to hide.
Until he's got a clock over his head, ticking away to an unknown end.
i.e. Danny steals from the waynes and now have the bats on his tail, too bad for them the only one to have spotted Danny is the Red Hood himself. Maybe the halfa can trust the resident crime lord with his teeny tiny issue with the government. What's a little treason to murder, right?
(Post every Saturday)
TW: depression, thoughts of death (NOT suicide), character death (does it count if its danny and jason?), cursing, drugs? (idk man), sickness, fighting, injuries

Summary
Danny runs into some astronauts from NASA’s lunar mission while trying to do his homework on the moon. This leads to new friends, a new job, and eventually to Danny finding a place for himself out among the stars.
Also, Danny gets to be a gremlin in space.
“Well,” Watkins drew the word out on a sigh as she slumped against the doorframe. “We didn’t cover this in training.”
Cecilia found her eyes trained on the spot where Danny had just walked through the wall. Like a— “Is the moon haunted?!”
Watkins was silent for a long while, and when Cecilia finally managed to tear her eyes away from the wall and look at her colleague, she found her frowning at the com. "…Who's going to tell the commander?"
