Summary
‘’You know the Mad Hatter?’’
An involuntary shiver runs up Roy’s spine.
‘’Jarvis Tetch? Short little freak with a hard-on for Alice in Wonderland? Yeah, Wings' mentioned him, once or twice. Dabbles in mind control. Gives me the creeps.’’
‘’Well, back in the day he built this thing called the Dream Machine, trapped its victim in a kind of dream world. It seems someone found the blueprint. Spruced it up a bit.’’
A cold feeling settles in Roy’s stomach.
‘’You’re saying…’’
‘’You’re looking at the Dream Machine 2.0.’’
---
Or: Dick is dreaming and Roy needs to get him out. He learns a lot of things along the way, things Dick would've preferred to keep buried.

Summary
KORY: The team is… concerned… about you.
ROY: That’s crap. You’re new here, Kory; you’ll learn that this team isn’t the Titans. We’re not one big happy family. But if they’re worried about my head and heart not being in this… about me feeling slighted… Well, I’m a big boy. A big boy who shoots arrows and guns. I’m here for the team. I’m here to do the job.
KORY: What about Dick?
ROY: He will do the best job imaginable. He will always give one hundred ten percent. Particularly to prove you all wrong.

The thing about king making, is they never mention the guillotine until after they’ve crowned you.
This is a story about hockey. By the way.

Summary
Stephanie is not the same teenager she once was, running around craving any small validation from the big black Bat, hoping he (or any of them) cared about her even a little bit, desperately chasing these minuscule moments of recognition and twisting them into something bigger. This is not enough.
She looks over at him and his easy grace, his kind face. She would have killed for this, for someone to come help her when she is sick and her life feels like it is falling apart around her, for this stupid knight in bat armour to whisk her away to fantasy land (it’s Connecticut, she needs to calm down) and buy her food and medicine. But not anymore. She’s not that little girl anymore.
Steph is sick and Dick half-succeeds in helping.

Summary
Steph hasn't worked with the new Batman and Robin duo long, but she doesn't hesitate to come when they call for backup. Their family's a little rough around the edges, but she'll do what she can to smooth things out.
