Summary
V brings Johnny back, and Johnny has a plan. That plan involves him finally getting together with Kerry while he's also hooking up with V.
(Or: the reunion doesn't happen quite like in the game; Johnny has a stunningly bad idea instead.)

Summary
Kerry bought V coffee until he’d lost track of how many they had and how long they sat at a table and talked. Just *talked* like normal people, easy and natural, the stories and laughter flowing between them as if they’d been chooms forever. Later, as they stood under the restaurant’s eaves to avoid the rain, Kerry delayed with more conversation, even as he called up a car for himself.
“Not gonna take this one?” V pointed at the sad little piece-of-shit they’d driven here. It had a broken headlight now too, probably from the van exploding earlier.
“Pfft. Ain’t my car. Not driving away from the scene of a crime in my own ride.” Kerry raised a hand in farewell as he darted through the raindrops to the waiting Delamain. “See ya soon, V.”
As the car drove away, V decided he might have developed a new, very real, and completely irrational crush on the silver-haired rockerboy.

Summary
Johnny didn't want to see any of this, Kerry's skinny bare chest, his legs wrapped around that guy's waist, his jeans hanging around one ankle. But it pissed him off, Kerry getting laid right now, right here, when he'd probably known that Johnny might walk in any moment. Leaving would have felt like letting Kerry win, not that Johnny knew exactly what kind of game they were playing. If they were playing a game at all.
"If you want privacy, maybe you should fuck in a room with a lock," he said.

Summary
Johnny doesn't believe in soulmates. Opium for the people, just another dream corps were selling. Nothing but empty promises that this world wasn't shit, that you'd be happy if you bought the right crap and met the right conformist asshole to buy some more crap with.
And the fact that he feels like he's known Kerry for years right after meeting him, that doesn't mean shit.

Summary
“Mikoshi has begun to malfunction,” said a man whose digital ghost now wore his son’s body.
Arasaka Saburo sat straight-backed in his black leather chair behind a tiered marble table, his back to the ridged skyline of Tokyo city. The same table, chair, and bonsai adorned Saburo’s offices in every key Arasaka complex. When he had been Saburo’s bodyguard, Takemura knew them in perfect detail. Memorised exits, defensible positions, and potential situational weaknesses, down to questions of ventilation and security rotations. Being in such an office again after a year away from his role felt disorienting, rather than familiar. Unsettling, to hear Saburo’s clipped intonation emerge from Yorinobu’s mouth, a man Takemura had once written off as reckless and dissolute.

V listens to voicemail after The End. It's all fine until he gets to Takemura's message, and suddenly nothing is fine anymore.
Huge, extensive spoilers for the game and one of its endings.

Summary
“Professor?” A voice calls, and Jayce has about two seconds to feel the hot little sting of hurt that he’s not the only one working with Heimerdinger after all, when Viktor steps fully into view, and Jayce catches sight of him.
Or—it. It’s an android.
It takes him a moment and another careful look to be certain, but—yes, it’s got a more subtle variation on the Academy staff bot uniform, white and muted browns, and the College of Sciences insignia pinned to the breast of its waistcoat, and where its shirtsleeves are rolled up to its elbows, Jayce can see the fine, thin lines running up its forearms, the divots in the synthskin showing where the metal plating must connect below.

Summary
Tarquin had never considered himself the sort who was suited for change. Even change for the better. He was better suited toward keeping his head down, protecting his own, and staying out of trouble. He had to. Minrathous was a cesspit and nothing he could do would change that. He believed in that, if nothing else.
Then the damned, handsome Chantry Brother decided to show up in his archives like a stray cat.

Summary
Essek goes home, and there is no one waiting at his door. This should be some manner of relief. But his towers haven't felt like a safe haven for a long time now, long before errant scourgers appeared to harass him with strange questions. He misses the immediacy of that threat, prefers it over the slow and indulgent terror of whatever punishment is coming for him, someday soon.
He tells himself that he misses only that, the simplicity of being unsafe in the company of predators, and that he does not miss the company itself.
(In which a pair of scourgers shows up at Essek’s doorstep and saves him from himself.)

Summary
It could be argued that time carries very little meaning to a droid beyond entropy, the decay of circuits and servos that at a certain point means one is destined for a junk pile or sold off for scrap, but Threepio is keenly attuned to the humans in his charge and from their perspective, it’s been so very, very long. To him it shouldn't matter if it's been fifteen minutes or fifteen years since Artoo was last functioning at full capacity. And yet--

Summary
“What the hell is that, Batman.” Kal’s still not moving but he does look back now. “Because if I didn’t know any better I would say that was me.”
“We have intel from a deserter at LexCorp that Luthor had gotten ahold of some of your DNA.” Bruce doesn’t know how to explain this without it … without it being terrible. “Through a fight, through his own strange methods, through kryptonite, who knows. He tried to clone it, but failed-”
Kal’s jaw tightens “Bizzaro.”
“This is a combination of your genes and a human donor, with some of J’onn’s DNA to hold it together.”
Bruce can trace the Martian's contribution with the barest hint of the way the clone’s eye is shaped. Just an impression, a barest hint that would never be connected if Bruce hadn’t seen the files for himself.
Kal bites in a terrible sound that emits from somewhere in his chest, a pitched keen that makes the hair on Bruce’s neck stand straight up. “Where is he?”
--
Sure, Kryptonians look human enough, but underneath all that flawless tanned human skin rests a creature that came from the stars.
