    Summary

    Roy learned long ago not to put faith in fate, destiny, or any grand cosmic plan; such notions are easily hijacked by charismatic lunatics with rage in their hearts and blood on their hands. He should know. Debts, on the other hand, are concrete. Solid.

    This might explain why his first few months in Gotham vanish in a haze of miserable, bacchanalian excess. Things like him need a leash—or a heavy boulder to roll uphill—lest the demons in their hearts escape and devour the world. With no real purpose on the horizon, drinking and drugging his days away seemed like the safest option for everybody. Then Bruce Wayne saved him—and had the nerve to be interesting about it—and Roy has to consider that there might be more for him here than a short drop and a sudden stop.

    Summary

    The first time you see him is Day 1 of Sburbian Mythology 101.

    The lecture starts in two minutes and the flow of students into the hall has slowed to a trickle, which is how you notice out of the corner of your eye a pale human in all red sauntering into the room, wearing a set of douchey shades in perplexing defiance of the torrential rainstorm that's been plaguing the city all week. In fact, you register, he seems to be the only one in the hall to not be drenched or at least somewhat wet, as if he's somehow managed to convince his clothes to ignore the godawful downpour outside.

    You're about to turn back away when he stops and seizes up mid-stride, the abrupt tension in the human's posture visible even from a distance. He's looking in your direction, you realize, and though the sunglasses are in the way, you have an unshakable feeling that his eyes are staring straight at you.

    Summary

    The chiseled statue towering over you is stark naked but for a sweeping cloak, frozen dramatically mid-billow. One arm is swept to a side, the other hand rested on the pommel of a Caledfwlch mounted deep in its engraved stone pedestal. Ironically, the strange jutting form of your stupid egg sword is the one thing they managed to accurately reproduce. Its eyes are cavernous sockets, bleeding slick liquid upwards over your forehead, and you have a feeling that had the artist put color to their work, those antigravity dribbles wouldn't be red.


    Four teenagers find themselves back on Earth after their untimely deaths. It isn't exactly as they remember.

    Summary

    It was unrealistic to expect that anyone would be able to witness murder firsthand and not be damaged from it. Even the most cold and callous sometimes need something to rely on, especially when they're so used to taking care of someone now deceased.
