    Summary

    Anger clouds Hawk's vision—the dark red memories of the way Demetri looked at him when he showed up to school with spiky blue hair; the haunting question, "Have any of you heard of sleep enuresis?"—and for a moment, he can almost taste the gratification he's going to get for breaking this kid's arm.

    But then: "Eli, stop, stop! I-It's me!"

    Time slows down.

    ≖≖≖≖≖≖

    OR, Hawk makes a snap decision (no pun intended, especially since he doesn't go through with it).

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    It’s him.

    Not him, as in Grace, but him as in the maybe-twin in the photo.

    He has this sad, stricken face on him, and is standing stock still several feet away.

    “Hey there,” Grace attempts.

    “Ry?”

    Or, Colt and Grace are estranged twins who begin to have very strange shared dreams.

    Summary

    JJ hoisted himself onto the ledge of the rooftop, dancing across the edge with a collection of slowly increasing giggles.

    He couldn’t take a picture of the pretty scene like Timmy, so he’d dance instead.

    He would celebrate Daddy’s death.

    He’d celebrate Timmy’s freedom.

    He’d celebrate the revenge finally sought out in Dead Robin’s and Computer Lady’s honor.

    He’d celebrate the joy that would come from the remaining people of Gotham.

    He’d celebrate helping the vengeful spirits who died and suffered at Daddy’s hands finally rest.

    “Replacement!”

    --------
    Or:

    Tim lets a part of him out in order to save the youngest bat. The Batfam meet this part of him, and no one is quite sure how to react...
