Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Summary
Fox has a duty. There's a trooper on the other end of his blaster, but he doesn't have a choice. There's too much at risk to waste time.
He shoots—
Only he doesn't. Or he does? Or the trooper shoots first. Or no one shoots, but someone dies anyway.
Fox has a duty. He'll do whatever it takes to fulfill it. As many times as it takes.
(aka: ARC Trooper Fives' Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, featuring Marshall Commander Fox.)

Summary
Rex looks to Hunter desperately, who looks back at him just as desperately, if not moreso. Neither of them want to break the news to him. Maybe it has something to do with his story? Given this clone’s condition, there’s no way in hell he hasn’t gone through something absolutely mental. Perhaps they’re in similar boats.
Well, no clone’s ever done well with being patronized. Looks like it’s up to Fives to break the ice.
“Name’s Fives,” he says, sticking out a hand in greeting. “They’re probably bein’ cagey ‘cause I died.”
