Summary
Lex tuned out the familiar words and watched Clark’s expression settle into something stern and commanding. If he were a lesser man, he would be discovering that he had a thing for cops. However, as he was noticeably superior in all ways, he merely appreciated Clark’s classic features and boy-next-door good looks.
Lex invites Clark to dinner. It goes about as well as can be expected.

Summary
Quinn faced Cassandra and stated, immovable as stone, “Aydan comes with me.”
There was something that was often misunderstood about the twins: Aydan was good at talk, not at being the wall that didn’t break. He was good at finding the cracks in the mortar that could break down the building, and finding the gaps in armour. Quinn was much more straightforward than that. They could not bend their mind that way, could not see from the shadows the way that Aydan could. But with an axe in hand, they could strike where Aydan pointed, strike with enough strength to bring down cities. Aydan knew where to go. Quinn was their strength.
Snapshots from the life of the Herald of Andraste Quinn Trevelyan and their twin brother. Not necessarily in chronological order
