    Summary

    “What,” Dick says, then puffs out a shaky breath. He tries again. “What do you want?”

    There’s a trace of petulance beneath the blatant confusion, a peevishness that automatically gets Jason’s hackles up before he consciously lowers them, along with an outward calming breath. “You called me, dickhead. Twice.”

    “No. No, I didn’t – I.” Dick stutters before there’s a complicated sound, as if he’s dropped the phone. The tumbling motion abruptly halts, but even from whatever distance away, the receiver can still pick up stilted muttering.

    Or,

    Dick's acting weird. Jason is going to find out why.

    Summary

    Jason wasn't expecting the phone call. Well, he didn't expect phone calls in general, since his friends amounted to two guys who sat with him at lunch and talked to each other. He had forgotten one of their names, and at this point it was really, really too late to ask. It was either Michael or Mitchell.

    Probably.

    Summary

    Same eyes, nose, mouth, and hair. She could even see the small scar on the corner of his bottom lip that she remembered he told her he received when he was young, before his mom had died. It was so faded now, but there was still a line, the slight groove where the skin improperly healed. She remembered how it felt against her lips when they kissed.

    After more than a decade, Rena sees her dead ex-boyfriend from junior high.

    Summary

    “You know, I think I get why you never looked at me.” Dick turns but can’t bring himself to fully face Jason. He’s got his helmet on anyway, every effort seems wasted. The cave is empty around them, stiller than the night ever is outside its walls.

    It’s just him and Jay for some accidental reason. Dick’s looking over a chemical diagnosis and everyone else is either still on patrol or upstairs, asleep. Jason says from his position, slouched against the railing, “It’s kinda ironic, huh.” And the accidental reason is starting to seem a lot less accidental.

    Summary

    There is no backup for the Signal.

    Duke reminds himself of this regularly, like a prayer through gritted teeth: there's no one to catch him if he slips, to replace him if he stops. So the Signal can't give up. Just can't, like an immutable law, an undeniable truth. He has to win every fight. There isn't any other option.

    Duke Thomas makes himself invincible. Untouchable.

    Then he loses.
