Summary
“Has Robin always been this, uh…” There’s a pause that grows heavier the longer it lingers. “Stoic?”
“I dunno,” Kon sighs. “Maybe? I only ever teamed up with him like, twice before the whole ‘Kidworld’ thing, but that was before Superman came back, so there’s a pretty big gap in between.”
“I could be wrong, but…” Bart sounds uncharacteristically hesitant, like each word is being slowly pulled out of him. “I think something might have happened to him. Something bad.”
(Five rooftop encounters between the third Robin and a Kryptonian, and one that happens deep underground.)

Summary
"Hurry," says Impa, ancient and anxious.
"Hurry," says the ghost of a woman you've mostly forgotten.
The Master Sword burns in your hands as you pull, knees trembling and sweat slick between your shoulder blades.
(People keep telling you who you are, the hero you're destined to be. Eventually, you're going to prove them wrong.)

Summary
The bond company sees the SecUnit’s sentience as a selling point, not an ethical quandary. Dr. Mensah believes that it is a person before she ever lays eyes on it. Meeting that person and folding them into their lives requires a lot of hard discussions and complicated preparations. Only some of this was covered in the rental documents.

Summary
Episode 224 of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon features a controversial B-plot and a metaphorically complicated group sex scene, so SecUnit is a little less distracted while Dr. Arada and Prof. Bharadwaj conduct their crater survey.
Later, Dr. Rhatti will call some of this planet’s fauna monsters, noting how one specimen quote “chewed SecUnit completely in half.”

Summary
Crowley drifts through the cottage, idly gathering stray cups and wine glasses with the intent to wash them only to abandon the task halfway through. Two months ago, the sight of their kitchen in such a state would make him want to scream. It makes him want to scream now, of course, but that’s hardly the kitchen’s fault, is it? Not when literally everything makes him want to bury his claws deep into his own face and scream until he can’t scream anymore.
(It's some number of days after they quit counting the days in quarantine. There's a flaming sword of thorns where Crowley's spine should be.)

Summary
Jason knows hypervigilance when he sees it. To the untrained eye it surely looks like the kid isn’t focusing on anything but the ground before him, but his attention is stretching out across the entire courtyard—Jason would bet on it. He can see it in the way his head cocks just the slightest bit toward every sound and every movement, the way his foot shifts almost too minutely to see any time someone moves too quickly, moving back into the beginning of what Jason knows will turn into a fighting pose if he finishes through with it. Some kind of guard, maybe? Even though he can’t be more than fucking twelve. Jason can’t imagine what a kid would be doing here.
More important than any of that, rank and relations aside…the boy’s eyes are a green bright enough that Jason can see the color from across the courtyard.
It's a very distinct green. Unnatural.
The only people he's ever seen with it are Ra's and himself.
And it isn’t genetic.
Heir or not, it means the boy must be very valuable to Ra's. He doesn't put just anyone in the Pit.

Tim grows up in the League of Assassins. Jason has some things to say about that. -

Summary
Tim misses his best friend. All his friends. His parents. Bruce. Everyone who has left him in the past two years, never to return. Bart is dead. Steph is dead. Kon is dead. Cassie is in a cult. Bruce is dead. Dick is too distracted with Damian to help.
Tim will do anything to feel close to them, to feel loved again. Anything.
Even if it means running away and taking on the world all by myself.
Even if it means killing that part of himself that drives everyone away.
Even if it means that he dies in the process. -

Summary
“If you train me, I’ll work hard and help you keep Gotham safe in Robin’s memory. You don’t need to parent me or anything, you don’t even need to know my name. Batman can have a partner again, guilt free with no strings attached.”
Bruce, lost in his grief over his second son, agrees to take on a third, temporary Robin to help him recover. He was supposed to keep his distance, he wasn't supposed to know or care about this nameless boy. But these children had a way of surprising him.
