Summary
When Gale smashes a backhand, and Egan lunges for it, but the quick bounce spins it just past his racket, he stumbles, catches himself on his hands with his racket clattering against the hard court, and he starts laughing, wet and winded—laughing still as he straightens up, cheeks reddened, glistening under the sun. He scrubs the back of his wrist, his black sweatband, over his forehead.
“See? You love it when I make your dad mad.”
“Egan,” Gale warns, but all the authority is lost in his panting. Egan wipes his forehead again, racket tapping his thigh.
“Missed playing with you, Buck.”
“We played two weeks ago, in Cincinnati. C’mon, still your serve.”
---
Gale meets John Egan at a Challenger in Bordeaux when they're both 19 years old. After that, he can't seem to shake him. But what's more is, despite what his dad says about Gale's game, and what the commentators say about their rivalry, and what he's been told about tennis his whole life, Gale doesn't think he wants to.

Summary
It probably wasn't a good idea to just up and leave Gotham, Jason can admit to that. But it was hard to resist the temptation of an isolated, private cabin out in the woods, firmly out from under the too-watchful eyes of way too many Bats. It's just a few days. Just a little break to give himself a bit of time to relax, maybe... explore some stuff. It could be fun. (At the least, it's definitely going to be educational.)
