Summary
“Was it worth it, do you wager?” Bruno asks wryly, eyes tracing the thin edge where the moonlight cuts across Mista’s mid-thigh, hundreds of curly hairs camouflaging at least a dozen flaky scars underneath. It’s an early interruption. A quarter past five, the fleeting fragment of the hour where Mista’s gun is stowed away, meaning there is nothing to impede his focus as she draws his attention. “Abandoning whatever life you led before to spend all of your time watching nothing over my shoulder? Any regrets?”
“Working for you, or the circumstances?” Mista kicks back against the wall, staging a performance of taking his chin between index and thumb, gazing off into the distance at the curtains above her head. Deceptively contemplative, humming idly to the tune of a bygone conclusion. “Neither. I don’t regret a thing.”
On an early summer morning, the Don of Passione converses with her guard.

Summary
Jason was doing his best not to feel any concern for Tim – it wasn’t Jason’s job to make sure Tim ate and slept and didn’t dose himself with harmful chemicals – but he had to admit to feeling somewhat disturbed. Did anyone else in the family know Tim was this bad at taking care of himself? Did anyone else care? Someone should have probably cared. Not Jason, but… someone.
“You must really hate yourself,” he observed.
Tim made a vague hand gesture. “It comes in waves.”
That was a joke, right? Jason was going to tell himself that was a joke. This was already more than he’d signed up for.

Summary
He spends another twenty minutes staring at his phone before he musters up the courage to call Darla.It rings for several minutes. For a moment Bernard thinks he’s gonna get kicked to voicemail, which is exactly the kind of anticlimactic bullshit the universe would drop on him for being anxious about this.
The phone picks up, a quiet out-of-breath noise in his ear.
“Hey, dumbass,” Darla’s voice says. “You okay? Tim thinks you’ve been kidnapped.”
It’s her voice. It’s young and smooth and tripping over the corners of words in the ways a gangly teenager does, and how did she ever sound this young?
“Bernard?” Darla says, worried.
Bernard hangs up.
Post-Cult-of-Dionysus Bernard gets stuck in a time loop of the day Darla Aquista dies, which sucks just, royal balls.

Summary
Everything was normal after Bernard Dowd left the chaos cult. well, it was expected. The nightmares weren't ideal, but they weren't a complete surprise, and with Tim and his family close by, he could work through it.
But soon the nightmares break through into his day.
Soon he can interact with them.
Soon he can affect others through his new visions.
Soon he realises that he might have taken more than just nightmares back with him after the chaos cult.
Taking to the streets as a vigilante, Bernard will have to combat criminals, hiding his powers in case Batman kicks him out of the city, training with the Red Hood, and making it to his dates with Tim.
When other ex-cult members turn up dead, Bernard and Jason decide to team up with Constantine, and investigate the origins of the Chaos Cult.
And maybe get some half-baked therapy along the way.Series
