  Summary

  You may have a propensity to mismatch your socks, lose every hair tie on your wrist, and gamble your life without blinking, but at first glance, there's nothing truly extraordinary about you. It's purposeful; in a world of gods and monsters, you've learned to keep your cards—and otherworldly intuition—close to your chest.

  Some people look twice.

  (You, Dick Grayson, and everything else through the years.)
