Summary
"(...) She might’ve been relieved she didn’t have to sort through hundreds of candidate CVs but I suspect she too must’ve been upset she didn’t get to choose her Dante-"
"They used you. Found you at your most vulnerable, offered you everything you could've ever wanted, gave you a way out of your misery.", she scoffs, her fists clenching. Empathizing with him now helps her empathize with herself.
"Just like you, except you wanted a normal life and I wanted the opposite."
Or: Alex has seen Darlington's memories, held his soul in her hands and carried it out of hell. Darlington has seen Alex's memories, become tethered to her and chosen to serve her. But they've never sat down to talk about it, or about those very long months he was "in Spain" - the 's' is silent. They go out on a date in a fancy restaurant and say what's on their minds.

Summary
He could be wrong - it could've very well been a normal phobia - but he'd known better than to pry about it, even back then, when he had no idea how much his curiosity would eventually cost him. It's why he strongly doubted she would want to go through the whole ordeal with the moths again, even now that she knows they wouldn't harm her. Something Darlington couldn't guarantee for most other kinds of magic, and now - for himself.
She wouldn't just take the moths herself and put the tattoos back on, would she? So how did it happen?
Even his dull demon brain could manage the simplicity of those spell requirements. Only human saliva reverses the magic. The realization sort of makes him short-circuit.
"I'm feeling a little under the weather. Call me for dinner?", he starts climbing the stairs to the Virgil bedroom.
Or: It's only been a couple of days since the second descent into hell, and Darlington seems to be coming down with something. He also sees Alex's tattoos for the first time since he erased them on the day they met. It forces him to confront a very ugly part of himself.

Summary
“I’m not trying to kill myself,” she snaps, sounding far more snippy than she means to, and immediately shuts her mouth.
He seems unphased, though, and she swears there’s snark in his tone when he replies, “Oh, sorry for assuming, Miss Standing-on-a-Ledge.”
Steve and Robin meet officially for the first time in December 1984 instead.
