Summary
Their paths always cross. It's like fate. Like ribbons, woven in and out. A pattern network of strings: pull on one too hard and the rest all collapse to nothing.
At least, that's what Selina Kyle thinks about, when she thinks about the shadow haunting Gotham.

Summary
She looked over at him, startled, but Abbot wasn’t looking at her face, he was looking at her hands where they rested on the table, or maybe at something past her hands that she couldn’t see. “I thought— I mean, you wear a wedding ring,” she said hesitantly.
He looked up at Mohan, keen-eyed and sharp. “Well, I wear dog tags, too,” he said.
~~~~
Abbot and Mohan's unspoken situationship gets out of hand at work, and Mohan suggests a private conversation.
Whether or not any actual talking gets done is another question, though.- Language:

Summary
Jack Abbot finds out that Samira Mohan has never finished with a male partner.
--
It occurs to her that she’s chasing him off, so she blurts, “You actually don’t have to apologize, he probably would’ve been terrible in bed anyway, they always are.” They’ve crossed so many lines tonight, what’s one more?
“Singlehandedly maintaining the orgasm gap over here.” She’s mildly successful at making that comment sound flippant, hands waving in the air.
“I don’t know if I can talk to you about this, Samira,” (I don’t know if I can handle hearing you talk about your sex life, don’t know if I can handle knowing men aren’t in the habit of caring that you don’t finish, don’t know if I can handle you. When looking back at this moment, Jack Abbot will recall the feeling of intense emotional whiplash, how one minute Samira looked thunderously furious at his interruption, and in the next she seemed almost bashful in her attempt to get him to stay.)

Summary
“Sometimes I talk to Robby, and I understand him more than I understand myself,” Samira said.
She felt Jack nod. “That doesn’t surprise me,” he said, his voice muffled against her shirt.
“And then sometimes I don’t.”
“That doesn’t surprise me either.” Samira could tell he was smiling. “You two are a lot alike.”
“Is that why you’re with me?” she asked.

Summary
“Who did this to you?” Jack demanded, holding her bleeding face in his hands. "We're going to get you better, okay? You're going to be okay."
