Summary
It’s like this:
In times of crisis, Beau can do the thing. Draw herself together, pulls up the right words, negotiate. And it's fine. It works. Always does, in the moment.
It's after that's the problem.

Martin reacts in typical Martin fashion - with tea, worry, and absolutely nothing else, thank you very much.

Summary
The thing about gardens, Caduceus thinks as he kneels in the grass before a pink flower, fingers dug in the soil around it, breaking it apart gently.
The thing, he thinks, digging deeper, reaching beyond the roots, scooping around them.
The thing is that they grow.

Summary
Abruptly, Sasha stops. Sighs. “Tim,” she says, sounding—annoyed?
Martin tenses, wonders what Tim’s done now. He’s never heard Sasha properly irritated, not really. Fond complaints are about the extent of it. This is new, concerning. (Whatever Tim’s done, Martin needs to know so he can be sure he doesn’t do it himself.)
“Yeah?”
“How do you spell disorientated?” -

Summary
After a difficult year (for many reasons) Tim goes back to Gotham to help Jason Todd reconnect with his family. Whether Jason wanted that or not, well, Tim had time to wear him down. Between the tutelage of Deathstroke and Lady Shiva, he was well equipped to handle himself as Jason's equal and hit Gotham's vigilante scene as the Buzzard. His parents were dead and the lonely cavity in his chest kept growing every day, but it didn't matter. Tim's mission could and would succeed despite his personal feelings and failures. He was fine and he had a job to do.

Summary
Clark’s soulmark sat in the center of his chest like a secret. It was small, no bigger than his palm, all clean lines and dark shadow: wings spread wide and ears pointed like the silhouette of something swooping down through the sky.
Martha said it looked elegant. Jonathan said it looked "mysterious." The kids at school said other things.

Summary
As Essek is ushered off of the podium, hands and heart shaking in adolescent rage, he makes eye contact with Ludinus, standing just outside of the royal box. His paper-like skin marks him as other. He raises one eyebrow.
It is a challenge.
