Summary
When he and Lore run errands for their parents, the colonists look at them – Lore – with apprehension. Both of their hearing is advanced far beyond human capabilities; the whispers must be hurtful for Lore, who will simply frown and stare at a far-off point in Omicron Theta’s rolling hills of green grass and rich, red soil.

Summary
When Joker first brought Robin – no, Junior – home, Harley was ecstatic.
She liked to sit with Junior at the coffee table (with Junior tied to a dining chair) and play tea party with him. She knew, of course, that this wasn’t exactly a boy activity, but Junior couldn’t run amok and there were no important differences between boys and girls anyway. So she would sit with Junior after dressing him in his little violet suit and doing his makeup and if she might have taken it a bit too far with spraying temporary green dye into his hair, then who cares? He can wash it when he gets back to Batsy.
Mr. J would come home after a long day of work, dressed in a similar violet suit, and call out, “I’m home, honey! How’s the kid?”
It was good. It was nice. It was everything Harley Quinn had ever wanted. Then, Joker backhanded her during a tea party and her teacup had shattered on the floor. The porcelain shards nicked her hands, but she’s had worse. It would’ve been fine if he hadn’t turned to Junior next.

Summary
Half of Cypher's safehouses are compromised; the other half are probably on the verge of being discovered as well. He should have scrubbed the records better, paid the landlords more, should have torched them instead of keeping them.
It’s fine though. There’s only one safehouse that matters.

Summary
“I was thinking of Timothy as a first name,” Janet tells her husband. “It means ‘honoring God.’”
Jack looks up from the pile of papers that’s practically burying his breakfast. “I didn’t think you were that religious.”
“It’s a nice name outside of religious reasons too, Jack.”
He hums thoughtfully, “Timothy Drake. Tim Drake. I like it.”
She cuts into her waffle and, with a mild voice, suggests, “Why don’t you think of a middle name, dear? Mrs. Machida has been telling me about different Japanese names.”

Summary
He’s so dead.
He doesn’t even know what happened.
Near the end of first period, Mr. Larson had passed out the report cards and his classmates had quickly started discussing their second quarter grades. Tim was already nervous about his grades – he always is – but he had flunked a history test; he retook it, of course, but he hadn’t gotten it back yet.
And there it was. Right between the straight A’s was a C in history.

Summary
“Is it that bad of a party?”
Janet looks up at the man who interrupted her musings. He’s handsome with short, cropped black hair and around her age. He’s holding a plate of cranberry crostinis and a drop of the cranberry sauce has fallen on the lapel of his white suit jacket. Mildly endearing, she supposes, but whoever decided to have brightly-colored, drippy refreshments at an all-white attire gala should jump off a building.
“It’s a nice gala,” she says diplomatically. “Mr. Boyle did a fine job organizing it.”

Summary
When Lonnie was 16, he had celebrated the death of the original Joker. Now, almost five years later, he mourns. Not for the man (because he had been a man, only man could be so cruel), but for… something that he’s now trying to grasp in the current Joker, the son that he had raised. Or at least claimed to.
