Summary
“What happened to your assessment of him as my rent boy? Hypocritical of you to…indulge in him after casting it as an aspersion.”
Daniel inhales, instantly prepared to use words, words, words to help Rashid save face and also save his own ass because that’s his fucking forté. “My mistake. Your semi-estranged companion and extremely astute business partner used me as a glorified sex toy last night, and it turns out I hardcore needed to be objectified. I doubt this will come as a shock, but that worked wonders for my aging, ailing ego. I, uh…” He shoots a deferential sidelong glance at Rashid, who’s giving him a guarded look. “Wouldn’t mind if it happened again, but that’s at his discretion.”
Louis gives Rashid a look that sits somewhere at the crossroads of amusement, bafflement, and contempt. Razor-edged panic flares in Daniel’s stomach; he has no idea why such a specific cocktail of emotion should get to him when it’s aimed straight past him at someone else.
“Let me have this, Louis,” Rashid says with quiet urgency, his grasp on Daniel’s shoulder tightening. “He’ll be gone soon enough as it is.”

Summary
"I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."
"This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"
"Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."
"Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

Summary
When Matches Malone strides into Red Hood’s meeting and settles in among the new recruits, Jason Todd has never been more grateful for the full face helmet. Why was
dadBruceBatman here…?Then Jason thinks back to the gala and curses internally. Bruce had obviously figured out from their encounter at the gala who Red Hood really is, and has decided to… what? Taunt him? Anger flaring, Jason refuses to react to the persona that Jason himself had once helped Bruce to dress up as. Whatever this is, if Bruce wants to play dress up and look like a fool, who is Jason to stop him.
___________
Bruce isn’t sure what to expect when he walks into the meeting led by Red Hood. Even though his recent ‘rescue’ at the hands of Hood had Bruce looking at the new crime lord's activities with a fresh light, there was still the more pressing concern.
Red Hood had deliberately gone for and pressed the emergency beacon hidden on his belt. It could simply be that Red Hood had observed one of them using it. Or perhaps this newest criminal to Gotham just thought Batman was partial to the billionaire as some rumors suggested.
Or Red Hood knows Bruce Wayne’s secret.

Summary
The first memory Jason has is waking up on the operating table, his dose of anesthesia half what it should have been, and looking down his body at his cracked open chest.
He’s lucky to be alive, they tell him; he can’t remember his last name. Next came physical therapy, discharge, a temporary Wayne Fund apartment. His GED, his undergrad, and med school. A life.
Still, Jason has never managed to shake the memory of where he started: bright lights, the warm insides of his own body, and the iron-cauterized scent of blood. Yeah, Jason believes in heaven and Hell. Jason believes in punishment, and the afterlife.
OR
Amnesiatic Jason works in a hospital, trying to pick up the pieces of his forgotten life, and fights in an underground boxing ring to make ends meet. But Gotham's systems are corrupt, something is brewing in its underbelly, and Jason doesn’t know if he can trust the vigilantes stalking his city at night.

Summary
There’s hot chocolate from Alfred, and the fresh-cookie smell of sugar and butter wafting down from the kitchen, and Jason laughs and tries not to feel like he’s sitting in somebody else’s house, even though he is.
It’s nice, or it should be. Nobody yells, and Dick even passes him the gravy boat at dinner, even if he pretends not to hear him the first time he asks.
Later, the ornament doesn’t break when he drops it into the wastebasket in Bruce’s study on his way up to bed. It’s not glass. Just an imitation of the real thing.
