Summary
“What do you think of the Waynes?” Percy had asked Annabeth the week before. “Seems like they’re in Gotham’s headlines all the time, and not always for great reasons. You think they’re involved with the mob or something?”
“The opposite, actually,” Annabeth had replied, a wry smile on her face.
“What’s the opposite of the mob?”
“In Gotham? What do you think?”
Percy’s eyes had widened. “No. No way. Bruce Wayne is such a goof, there’s no way--,”
“Wouldn’t that be the best cover, though?”
***
Poseidon once told Percy he was his favorite son.
But he's not the only one.

Summary
“Are my sisters in?”
Nuala licked her lips nervously then looked slightly over her shoulder. “No, I’m sorry. Lady Elain is out at the shops with my sister, and the High Lady is--,”
“The High Lady is, most unfortunately, held up with the City Council this afternoon,” the arrogant, irritatingly familiar voice interrupted as its owner seemingly materialized from the shadows of the front hall. “But any petition you wish to bring to your High Lady may, of course, be brought to me in her absence.”
Nesta wanted to slap the smug smirk off her brother-in-law’s much too perfectly proportioned face. Instead, she turned to Nuala and said, “Please let them know that I called. I will try again tomorrow.”
***
Nesta has important news. Rhysand is most definitely not the person she wants to share it with.

“Just be a kid,” Annabeth muttered to herself as she dragged Bobby through the crowds of Fantasyland by his small, sweating hand. “Just be a kid, he said.”
“Annabeth, who are you talking to?” Bobby asked sweetly, his other hand holding a lollipop bigger than his head. “Are we almost to Ariel?”
“Gods, I hope so."

Summary
"Percy mumbled a bit in his sleep and turned toward the back of the couch, jarring the bag of stale marshmallows he and Sally had been snacking on. A few fell out, and Sally gently reached over to stuff them back in the bag.
Then she stopped. She stopped and studied one of the marshmallows, the sugary residue leaving her hand sticky as she gripped it too tightly. Without another thought, Sally tossed the marshmallow into the waiting flames before her.
Thank you, she thought. Thank you, she prayed. Her clean hand ran slowly through Percy’s hair, brushing the golden curls she’d always loved so much. Thank you for my son."
***
Sally Jackson isn't a religious person. She finds herself praying anyway.

“We take turns with the biscuits, eat one, wait til everyone else has taken one before you eat your next. Keeps it neat, keeps it orderly,” I informed Rose. Something panged in my chest again, warm and fierce and sharp. “Feel free to smack George if he doesn’t follow the rule.”
Rose smiled at me again, nodding quickly in reply. “I’ll remember, Miss Carlyle.”
“Call me Lucy.”

Summary
Here’s the thing nobody likes to think about when it comes to the ghost locked children who wake: it is a death sentence. None of the rising sleepers live long after they wake. DEPRAC has studied them all extensively, of course, looked for patterns, studied charts, had the best doctors and agents in the world working to understand how, when and why. But there is no rhyme or reason to any of it. Sometimes, rarely, the ghost locked children wake. And sometime in the three months after they wake, they die.
It doesn’t matter how healthy and hale the kid is, one night within the three months they’ll go to sleep and just never wake up again.
***
Norrie White wakes up.

“If you’re amenable, I’d like to discuss the job offer again.”
“Thank you again for the offer, Ms. Fittes, but I have no intention of leaving Lockwood and Co.”
“Previously, I looked to offer you a job as an agent. In light of….recent discoveries,” Lucy feels a stone drop to the pit of her stomach, “It’s obvious you were meant for so much more than that. If anything, being an agent jeopardizes your immense value.”
You’re our biggest asset, Lockwood seems to whisper in her ear, and Lucy freezes.

“So, your dad’s coming tomorrow?” Percy asks.
“Yep.” Annabeth pops off for the second time in as many minutes. It’ll be great, she thinks. He’ll try to give me a hug but won’t, I’ll pretend it’s not awkward, and we’ll spend the three-hour drive back to Gotham in deafening silence, both of us wishing we knew what to say. A killer Christmas Eve really, they should make Hallmark movies about my dad and me.
Percy’s eyes widen, and Annabeth realizes she’s said everything aloud.
“I didn’t know you grew up in Gotham,” Percy blessedly picks to comment. “Ever meet Batman?”
***
Annabeth has not been entirely honest with Percy about her dad. Takes place Post Titan's Curse.

"North or South?"
“South,” Sokka answers, tilting his head. “Well, I suppose you could say both, technically. Her father emigrated from the North Pole. You remember the young Northern general from a few years ago, got banished for knocking down the spirit forest?”
As if Zuko could ever forget a banished prince. “Tonraq?
Sokka nods. “He married a Southern water bender named Senna. Their daughter, Korra, is, well, she’s--,”
“Aang.”

Zuko meets the Avatar. She is nothing and everything like her predecessor.

“Take a sit, there’s a good lad,” Alfred says softly as he wraps a nearby afghan around Tim’s shoulders. Alfred sits next to Tim on the sofa and pulls a box of tissues from the side table, offering them to Tim. He takes one, wipes his eyes, blows his nose, and slowly attempts to breathe.
“I--I’m sorry,” Tim whispers. His breath hitches. “I’m sorry I scared you, everyone is fine--,”
“You are not fine, love.”

[“Dad, why’d you go so fast? That was dangerous!” Jon yelped. Dad looked down at him in confusion, before zeroing in on Jon’s left hand, still gripped tightly on the ladder’s edge.
“Did you stay to hold the ladder for me?” Dad asked. Jon could feel himself blush as he looked down at his toes.
“I didn’t want you to fall."]

“Are we sure the kid’s an alien?” Jonathan asks for the third time, swilling the whiskey around his glass as he stares at the baby in the laundry basket on the table before them, eyes wide.
Martha bites her lip before reaching for the bottle in front of Jonathan and pouring herself some more whiskey, knocking it back in one swallow. She winces at the burn down her throat and takes a deep breath. “Of course not. But do you have a better explanation?”
