    Summary

    this was what they meant, he thought, in the haftarot of consolation, behold I will set your stones with carbuncle, and I will lay your foundations with sapphires, the foundations of his soul had been cleared out and replaced with glittering stones and he felt— free, unencumbered, like nothing and nobody could hurt him, not ever again.

    Summary

    “I don’t know what I want to do.” Dennis admits. He looks over at Robby, staring at the side of his face. They’ve been closer than this before, but being in the car together feels strangely intimate. “What would you do?”

    “If it was me… I’d at least go for that dinner. But I’m not you. You need to do what’s best for you, Dennis.” 

    There it is again, his name from Robby’s mouth. It makes his attention linger, still staring at Robby’s face. Dennis is once again overwhelmed with the urge to just bury his face in Robby’s neck and pretend the world doesn’t exist, but that’s not the grown up thing to do. He squeezes his eyes shut for a second, rubs his temples with his fingertips as Robby continues, “Carry your patients with you as much or as little as you like. Find your balance. But remember that you’re human.”

    Dennis opens his eyes to the countryside fading away and the city bleeding in. He knows Robby is right. That’s what he needs: balance. 

    In his last year of med school, Dennis learns to let go of the guilt that plagues him.

    Summary

    The League’s base is not built to welcome strangers.

    Bruce is not a stranger.

    He whips around another hidden corner, not bothering to try and silence the snap of his cape. There are no assassins waiting for him.

    On the far side of the compound, another explosion echoes dully, Jason fulfilling his role with enthusiasm.

    There will be bodies left behind when they leave this place. There is no time to dwell on it - Bruce compartmentalizes. It is easier than it might have been, some other time, some other mission.

    He already found the room where Tim was being kept.
