Summary
When she shuts her eyes, Miranda hears the terrible click of a gun misfiring and James’ wretched cry; smells the acrid gunpowder; feels the weight of the small paring knife leave her hand to embed itself in Peter Ashe’s eye. Then there is the awful aftermath. James’ equally surprised and horrified expression as he stares at her face, splattered with foreign blood— his slowly spreading manic grin and choked laugh upon realizing that she’s uninjured. The subsequent mad dash from the manor. If the last vestiges of Miranda’s old life were embers, they’d been used up after that.
Miranda survives the Charles Town confrontation with her belief in the possibility of reconciliation with Civilization shattered. The Walrus crew are still becalmed. The Maroons still agree to an alliance. The future impact of her presence and new outlook, however, remains to be seen.

Summary
Considering that Yautja are a carnivorous species, perhaps Jess should not be as surprised as she is by her partner's fascination with the scent of her blood— once he understands that she isn't injured. However, on Earth "period sex" still has certain connotations... But Ku'thar-Tlik doesn't know that. And he craves new experiences.

Summary
Don't ya know / They're talking about a revolution?
Although her relationship with John Silver started more positively, as they begin to work together more - including weathering the loss of Silver - Madi has gained appreciation for Captain Flint. He as for her too. She finds that he is much more aligned politically with her than previously believed.
'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
As the War continues, Madi never loses faith, but having a steadfast partner and fellow visionary by one's side never hurts moral, either.

Summary
The warning signs have all been / bright and garish / far too great in number to ignore.
Padmé, despite what certain political opponents may claim, is not a woman prone to naivete. Nor is she blindly optimistic. However, she does believe a better future for the galaxy is possible; it simply requires the right allies and a commitment to the grueling work. All that said, she is not unaware of the strain Anakin is under and how it seems to be pushing him closer and closer to some kind of psychological edge.
But I will walk down to the end / with you / if you will come all the way / down with me.
As always, Anakin does it all for Padmé.

Summary
“There's nothing to report. In any case, I'm not the one you should be consulting with,” He continues, snapping off a plate of armor with a click that echoed hollowly against the tile walls, “seeing as I was off the field for the majority of the incident.” He tenses around that last word, incident, grinding it between his teeth before spitting it into the air.
“Really?” Clark lowers himself onto the bench, keeping a conscious distance between them. Bruce doesn’t turn to face him. Instead he shifts his weight away, practically hovering over the edge of his seat as he works at his other boot. “The prints say otherwise.”
Bruce freezes, a half-loose knot pulled taut between his hands.
“The what?”

Summary
“I’m here to bring you this.”
Clark set down a protein green smoothie in front of him.
“It’s from that place you told me about. I’m eighty-five percent sure I got the flavor right,” he added quickly, before Bruce could object. Bruce stared at the cup like it was a foreign object.
Or, Clark has picked up a habit of doting on Bruce, and truthfully, he has no intention of ever stopping.
