Summary
Dick wakes up handcuffed to the headboard of a bed that is definitely not his own. The first clue is, his bed doesn’t have the kind of headboard you can handcuff someone to because his bed is a mattress on the floor of his bedroom.

Summary
“That’s not what my contract is about.” Slade sounds out of breath, but not angry; if anything, he sounds smug. Dick’s thoughts screech to an unexpected halt. The arm around his neck tightens, making him lightheaded.
And for the first time since Dick found out Deathstroke had taken a contract in his city, Dick feels real panic, like white noise spreading through his veins. There’s a sting right above the collar of his costume, and Dick spends the last ten seconds before the tranquilizer knocks him out drowning in waves of fresh fear.

Summary
Dick knows that there’s only so many times you can sleep with your enemy before you can’t really call them your enemy anymore. But in his defense, there’s been a lot of extenuating circumstances, so the first time doesn’t count, and neither does the second, and definitely not the third, and—

Summary
Bruce knew at heart that his parents could never be returned from the dead, but he had always held on to a distant hope that, with the right bargain and the right fae, it could be possible. When he saved a fae from capture by a bounty hunter, he realized it could be exactly the opportunity he was looking for.
But, as he quickly learned, dealings with the fae were never so simple.

Summary
“Oh, I just…picked them up. Y’know, self-taught,” Ric says. Silver bursts out laughing, a booming sound that damn near causes Ric to flinch. It also makes a shiver rush up his spine.
“Off the top of my head, I could name a dozen schools of combat you’re drawing from that had to have been formally taught, several I’m familiar with.” Something in Ric stirs, and there’s a stiffening in his body.
“Oh, yeah?” he asks, on edge. Say Batman, a part of him says. Say you know I was taught by Batman. The other part dreads that answer. Silver seems to notice Ric’s sudden tenseness, and he waves him off.
“Relax. If I started slap fights with every random mercenary, leaguer, assassin, hero—or whatever you consider yourself—that I met randomly in a bar, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy my vacation.”
Or: Slade doesn’t remember Dick Grayson. Ric certainly doesn’t remember Slade Wilson. Unfortunately, there is one party that remembers both just fine, and they are not happy to see them together.

Summary
All eyes were on Dick Grayson.
That was to be expected. He was the reason a group of people, including himself, were now hostages in the most secure museum in the country, after all.
Despite all the priceless artifacts in the museum they were trapped in, Dick Grayson was the real prize. Law enforcement couldn’t possibly risk hurting the wealthy and influential Bruce Wayne’s son, meaning they were at the mercy of the captors.
And just Dick’s luck: one his captors was Slade Wilson, his long time enemy who had no idea who Dick was behind the mask.
At this point, Dick is starting to think he should have pursued acting instead of vigilantism.

Slade's eye flicked over him, cataloging the wrongness. Too still. He was never this still.

"Come back to me, Little bird." A plea, "I’m not going to let anything happen to you." Never again. A promise
