    Summary

    Jason had known Louise for years. She’d been his getaway driver, his alibi, a co-conspirator. He had bailed her out of the trouble she got herself into more times than he could count. With a straight face she told Batman she had never even heard of the Red Hood, while he was passed out on her couch. He confirmed to many an HR department that she definitely worked for him, uh-huh, five years in accounts? Absolutely, best accountant he’d ever had. She’d been ‘borrowing’ his vacuum cleaner for years now. He attended her grandpa's funeral.

    Boyfriends and girlfriends came and went. Heroes and villains, dubious costumes and harebrained schemes.

    They remained.

    Summary

    “Place these back on the shelves. By genre. Alphabetical.”
    “No one reads books anymore. Why the fuck is there so many of them?”
    Todd. Jason. The kid you were sentenced the next ten weeks with to be library assistants until 4:30 pm. He snarled at you like you’d insulted his mother.
    “People still read them.”
    “There are computers right there,” you said, pointing to the array of school computers lined up in a long table. “Why can’t they just use them!?”
    “Most people of culture find comfort in books.”
    “Tell me what that was supposed to mean before I have to force it out of you.”

    Summary

    “I hate to intrude,” Alfred said, somehow utterly coherent despite being in his dressing gown and slippers, as he stuck his head into the kitchen. “But I would advise checking your voicemail.”

    “Who was it? Lucius?” Bruce muttered into his mug.

    “No,” Alfred said, and for the first time in months, a note of something like pressing urgency crept into his crisp accent. “A certain Miss Belgrave.”

    “Who?” Bruce looked up, scowling. “Is she one of Dick’s teachers?”

    Alfred arched a single eyebrow.

    …“Hi Bruce… if this is actually your number…” A woman’s scratchy, uncertain voice filled the silent kitchen. There was a quaver of nervous, watery laughter, as if she were on the verge of tears. “I just thought I should… um, let you know… I waited until I could see my obgyn, so you wouldn’t think this was some- well, you probably do, but- I’m pregnant. And I know you would probably want a paternity test, or whatever, so that’s happening… Oh, shit, I just thought I should let you know I’m keeping it. Um. That’s decided.” Her voice shook so badly for a second he thought the voicemail had dissolved into static. “Bye!” She hung up.

    Bruce stared at the phone for so long his tea grew cold.
